Chapter 583 Persuasion

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the imperial examination was a great invention, the scholars selected by the imperial examination were not powerful from the beginning. It was only after the accumulation of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the rise of the Song Dynasty that the scholars of the Ming and Qing Dynasties had huge influence.

    In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, even if there were no emperors and nobility, the country could already run smoothly relying only on the bureaucracy composed of scholars.  In the Tang Dynasty, without the nobility, it would be difficult for the country to run.  Because there is nepotism everywhere, and they are all noble families and noble vassals.

    Seeing how Li Bai actively recommended himself to the nobility instead of taking the imperial examination, we know that taking the imperial examination is of little use. It is also a vassal of the nobility.  So there is no fundamental difference between taking the exam or not.

    It was not until the Song Dynasty that there was a decisive difference. Scholars and nobles could sit on equal terms. Scholars established a new set of standards that transcended aristocratic etiquette.  Although the things of scholars are still considered Confucianism, they have nothing to do with aristocratic etiquette.

    Confucius restrained himself and restored etiquette, because nobility cannot live without etiquette. Nobles use etiquette processes to determine their status and alliance relationships. Etiquette is crucial to nobility.

    But this set of etiquette is of little use to scholars. Scholars were born in commoners and did not have the accumulation of experience over many generations, so they could not master the etiquette of nobles.  Therefore, there is Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which believes that everything has a principle, which is the principle of heaven.  Everyone must arrange their actions according to the laws of heaven. Since the laws of nature are not etiquette, there is no distinction between scholars and nobles.  Since we are acting in accordance with the laws of heaven, aristocratic etiquette is dispensable. The laws of nature will naturally stipulate everyone's status and mutual relations.  Scholars do not need to accumulate knowledge to fight against nobles. They only need to comply with the laws of nature. They are all allies and members of our own family. Scholars in the world are one family.

    With the rules of heaven, scholars can continuously form alliances and grow stronger, and they can rely on themselves instead of relying on nobles.

    Nowadays, the set of rules of heaven have not yet appeared, and it is difficult for scholars to unite together because they do not have unified behavioral standards and unified behavioral logic.  But the nobles have it, so the nobles are more powerful than the scholars, and the scholars will naturally be controlled by the nobles.

    The influence of foreign relatives is the aristocratic force second only to the royal family among the nobility, so it is also the force that has the greatest influence on the royal family.  If scholars could rise, they would naturally be able to suppress their relatives, and of course they would also suppress the royal family.

    Yunyao just chose a pleasant story, but did not say that if the scholars rose, the emperor would have to rely on instigating the party and government to control the scholars, or he would open East Factory, West Factory, Jinyiwei, or raise servants.  Anyway, after the scholars rise, the emperor will have to find ways to control them, otherwise the scholars will definitely let the emperor know what the power of knowledge is.

    So if Li Shimin knew that the rise of scholars would also threaten the imperial power, he probably would not be so active in promoting the design of the core values ??of scholars.

    "Anyway, the scholars are very weak now. They are just vassals of the nobles. They still need to grow up for a hundred or two hundred years before they can truly step onto the stage of history and make their own voice.

    Yunyao mentioned a hundred-year plan as soon as she opened her mouth. The ministers recognized the power of this little princess. She did not look at problems in terms of a few years, but in terms of hundreds of years.  Then her raising a million dollars is definitely not a joke, but for the future.

    The ministers all acknowledged that Yunyao had put forward wonderful insights in the fields they were good at, and they all recognized her abilities, so they said nothing more. They all agreed and were even willing to pay.

    "Yun'er, please go down." Li Shimin wanted to continue discussing government affairs with the ministers, so he asked Yunyao to go down first.

    With it done, Yunyao thought that the next step was to raise money, and then find land to build a shipyard. Since everything was started from scratch, she would be busy in the next two years.

    We need land and people. The geographical location of Chang'an is not ideal. It would be better if it could be close to the sea.  Yunyao thought that she would have to find someone to build a factory on the beach and then remotely control it herself.

    "A telegram or a phone call? But this requires a generator, batteries, and wires." Behind a convenient prop is often a set of industrial facilities to support it.

    Yunyao said that if he really did it, he would die young and go to heaven early.  The whole system was too complicated and huge, but she still decided to open a shipyard on the seaside.  As for communication, just use the inn. Anyway, the road transportation in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was very good.

    The transportation that extends in all directions is also the basis for unity. Without roads, there will be no circulation and no management.

    Returning to his palace, Yunyao began to examine the paintings of the palace maids. In order to develop medical skills, sketching must be developed, because only by accurately drawing the human body can medical skills be better developed and spread.

    Therefore, if you want to paint, you must be lifelike and fake.

    The aesthetics of Zhongyuan pays attention to artistic conception, because the philosophy of Zhongyuan is about endogenous changes, yin and yang, hot and cold, big and small, high ground, brightDarkness, hardness and softness, etc., are all in conflict with each other, and everything is changing and uncertain.  Therefore, the artistic conception is lasting, and the appearance is not important, as long as it can highlight the artistic conception.  Therefore, paintings in the Central Plains are often quite simple, with just a few strokes as if they embrace the world. Although it is a great art, it is not enough as a tool.

    What Yunyao needs now is the tool of painting, not art.  Therefore, training palace maids to sketch is a training tool. When the time comes to dissect the human body, someone must draw the internal organs and bones.

    Charcoal pencils, drawing boards, and paints of different colors, in short, you are ready.  What I drew today was peonies. Yunyao felt that the palace maid¡¯s sketching skills needed to be improved.  But don't be too hasty. These things have to be cultivated little by little. You can't just eat them all and become fat.

    The accumulation process is always painful and slow, but the flowers of victory in the end are always brilliant.

    Things are going well at the hospital. Sun Simiao has got rid of the counterfeit medicine business and devotes himself to treating diseases.  Many patients were sent to the hospital because the hospital's medicines were cheap, which gave doctors enough cases for research.

    But Yunyao hasn¡¯t said she wants an autopsy yet, and she doesn¡¯t know if everyone can accept it. After all, the dead person is the most important.  But if it really can't be pushed, then find a few monks and ask them if they are willing to donate the body voluntarily.  If they are truly determined to be compassionate and save all sentient beings, then in order to reduce the suffering of the world, they should actively respond to the donation of corpses.  After all, Buddha cut his flesh to feed eagles, and monks donating their bodies is also in line with Buddhist principles.

    When the time comes, these palace maids must overcome their fear, otherwise it will be bad if they faint during the dissection, so Yunyao specially selected a group of bold palace maids, hoping that they would be qualified for the job.

    ¡°Anatomy is a huge ethical challenge, and when it comes time to perform it, there will be various objections.

    "How about I control public opinion first?" From telegrams and phone calls, I thought of newspapers.  Newspapers do not use power plants. As far as current technology is concerned, there is no problem in printing newspapers.

    With a newspaper and a public opinion war, you have a better chance of winning.  But with the literacy rate so low these days, newspapers must be running at a loss.  However, you have to deal with losses. Only by maintaining losses can you be effective at critical times.  Because technology is like this, if you don¡¯t maintain it, it will be forgotten soon, and no one will use it.  If it cannot be maintained at a loss, movable type printing is of little value.
