Yang Xiu murmured to himself, especially when he heard He Yan's thought-provoking question, he became a little lost.
After learning martial arts, he became a member of the imperial family.
This is the meaning of life for everyone now.
It seems like all other ways of living are treasonous and unethical.
Wang Mang is wrong.
Zhang Jiao is wrong.
Cao Cao was also wrong.
When the consensus became the norm, everyone's life was restrained and turned into the strongest wall supporting the imperial power.
Now He Yan said that he wanted to kick this city wall open!
Is this possible?
He Yan glanced at Yang Xiu, of course it was possible!
The birth of the aristocratic family was essentially a rebellion against imperial power.
To put it more generally, it means local resistance to the central government.
Because the great unification of the Han Dynasty that continued the Qin Dynasty was basically a powerful rule based on "weak branches and strong trunks". If the local government did not resist, everyone would have to show the Liu family the imperial mausoleum.
For the Liu family, weak trunks and strong branches can naturally enjoy eternal peace.
But for the people of Guandong, that is not the case.
In the late Western Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family resisted and achieved some results. However, it was a pity that the fruits of victory were swallowed up by Liu Xiu, the super genius of the Liu family, and the iron curtain of imperial power was not completely opened.
Now, He Yan wants to let all the aristocratic families continue to unite, break down the barriers formed by the imperial power, and let everyone's restrained life spread out again and become colorful.
He Yan's pursuit may have different starting points from that of the aristocratic family, but now they do have a common enemy, and it is also the enemy of Xinxue - imperial power, so He Yan is not worried that there is no one behind him.
"Marquis Shen's ambition...isn't it a little too far?"
"The road is long and long, and I will search for it up and down."
Far, naturally far.
If it is said to be easy to achieve, He Yan himself does not believe it.
But at least compared to the Confucian utopia of "three generations of rule", He Yan felt that the goal that the new learning wanted to achieve was already too low.
Some people believe in the "Three Generations Rule" and the Buddhist "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss", but He Yan doesn't think the "pursuit of freedom" is any worse.
In the final analysis, as long as people still have a longing for a happy life, there will be enough market for these remarks.
All He Yan has to do is make this seemingly deceptive lie as appropriate as possible.
Yang Xiu felt very complicated after hearing He Yan's determination.
"If Marquis Shen's wish can really be realized, I, Yang Xiu, will die without regrets!"
Yang Biao: "What are you talking about? You still want me to give the white-haired person to the black-haired person?"
He Yan: "..."
Yang Xiu ignored his old father who had convulsions from time to time, and instead asked He Yan for advice.
"Please also ask Shen Hou to teach me what I should do if I open a factory in Guanzhong?"
He Yan replied: "Of course it is related to the four things of 'food, clothing, housing and transportation' that are related to people's livelihood."
This answer made Yang Xiu feel embarrassed: "Marquis Shen, there are no strange people like you in other places. With a little improvement, the output of textile machines can be increased several times."
"If others follow your example, they will most likely suffer losses..."
Seeing that Yang Xiu still didn't understand, He Yan couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't Dezu always very smart? Why is he so stumped by this kind of problem now?"
"Woo..."
This was the first time since childhood that Yang Xiu had been told that he was not smart.
But the person who said him was He Yan, and Yang Xiu willingly recognized him.
"Dezu, new learning! New learning!"
"Practice! Explore! Didn't I teach you all these things once about manure?"
Yang Xiu suddenly realized: "That's it!"
He Yan once again reminded Yang Xiu: "If you don't have a clue, you can collect it from the people. Don't underestimate the wisdom of those who have done a lot of work. Although they don't know the principles of some things, the technology has actually been very mature through generations of experience."
"Buy their technology with a lot of money, and then train new scholars to explore it. If this cycle continues, is Dezu still worried about being unable to improve the efficiency of the factory?"
Yang Xiu clapped his hands heavily: "Wonderful!"
"Studying things leads to knowledge, studying things leads to knowledge... It turns out that this is studying things to gain knowledge!"
At this moment, Yang Xiu parted the clouds and mist to see the sky, and the clouds cleared to see the moon. His only regret was that he felt that he had spent most of his life learning from the dog's belly!
"Marquis Shen... I think you should write a new book of scriptures yourself!"
Yang Xiu's eyes were full of complaints: "None of the various new learning scriptures written by Hua Gong, Chen Qun, and my father can speak to the point! If you allow such new learning to be spread, aren't you misleading the people?"
He Yan smiled and said nothing.
Perhaps the new learning that Hua Xin, Chen Qun, and Yang Biao understood was quite different from the new learning that He Yan wanted to spread, but the new learning that they understood was the new learning that was most suitable for this era.
Just as He Yan was unwilling to reveal too much to little Deng Ai, he treated Xin Xue the same way.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, let alone a major event that changes the world?
Everything, just let nature take its course.
When Yang Biao heard that Yang Xiu actually dared to bury him, he immediately glared at Yang Xiu.
But when Yang Biao thought that he couldn't understand most of what the two of them said just now...or that he understood but couldn't accept it, Yang Biao's eyes slowly softened.
After all, this world still belongs to young people.
Compared to He Yan and Yang Xiu, Yang Biao has devoted all his body and mind to the Hongnong Yang family for which he has fought his whole life, and it is impossible to turn around again.
"Good nephew."
Yang Biao stopped He Yan and said, "Anyway, I, Yang, owe you a favor this time. If you have anything to do in the future, just come and see me."
"Mr. Yang's words are serious."
After being frustrated, He Yan said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I really have a private matter that I would like to ask Mr. Yang for help."
"But it doesn't matter."
"There is a young man named Ma Jun in Fufeng County. I wonder if Mr. Yang can bring him and his family to Xuchang for me?"
Ma Jun?
When Yang Biao heard that this person's surname was Ma, he was a little worried: "Is this person related to Xiliang Ma Teng?"
As the Xiliang warlord, Ma Teng was still extremely tyrannical in Guanzhong, and Yang Biao did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to bring back the Ma family.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, Ma Jun is not from the Ma Teng tribe."
"That's good."
Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief: "Leave this matter to me. I will definitely find this person for Marquis Shen!"
As long as he is not a member of Ma Teng's tribe, as one of the overlords of Guanzhong, the Hongnong Yang family will not have an easy time.
He Yan also mentioned several characteristics of Ma Jun, such as his poor family background, his cousin's name Deheng, and... Ma Jun has a stuttering problem!
When he mentioned this, He Yan once again lamented his competence as a father.
Fortunately, Ma Jun was also a little stammer, so even if he had an academic quarrel with Deng Ai in the future, the two of them would be in the same boat.
If Xiao Wolong comes over... Tsk! Then little Deng Ai will be sprayed to the point of paralysis?
