The ancients respected the north, and the buildings faced north, and the venerables were located in the north of the table, so Xiangshan in the north of the city was a place where many people in Beijing worshiped the mountain god every year.

However, worship is not a random worship. Most of them are the people of the county outside the city. The villages are for hikes, some people gather for rice, some people gather for salt, and rich families produce chickens, and large families produce sheep. In short, each family gathers together and then goes up the mountain together.

Therefore, there have always been many people in Xiangshan, but there are few wealthy families like Li Ye that attract the attention of many people.

In fact, they dressed very simply, and the sharp-eyed people could see it at once.

After all, Yan Shen took the hospital guard, pulled a sheep and carried a chicken. The equipment was brand new and complete, and ordinary people did not have this situation.

It was just afternoon when I climbed to the middle of Xiangshan Mountain. The weather warmed up after the New Year. At this time, the sun was shining, and all the hospitals were so hot that they were dry and their mouths were dry.

Although Qiuer and Yueer and the two little girls, they usually do housework, they have never done any physical work in the royal palace since they were young, and they are exhausted when they are halfway up the mountain.

He looked at the two girls with a funny look, took the sweet wine they were holding, and then said, "Let's go after a break, anyway, Yang Xiao."

Li Ye considered this issue before going up the mountain, so he repeatedly asked Yan Shen to buy a young tender sheep when buying sheep, so that the meat would be cooked quickly, so there was no need to rush up the mountain.

So Li Ye took everyone to rest in a big tree halfway up the mountain, and distributed the sweet white wine in his hand to the guard and two girls to drink. Although everyone was so thirsty, after all, they had not worshipped the mountain god yet, and no one dared to drink it.

Only Qiu'er doesn't care. The more she thinks, the more she understands. Knowledge makes people fearless.

Li Ye drank the sweet and refreshing white wine with ice cubes, which was so cool. The ice was not in the palace ice cellar. There were also ice cellars in the royal palace, but Li Ye did not let them store ice this year because it was troublesome and expensive. Now he has potassium nitrate, so he can make ice by himself at any time, and it is very convenient.

He mocked the hot and thirsty yard, who was sank to the ground, and said, "You are like a group of dead dogs. If you die of thirst, how can you worship the mountain god? Drink it, the mountain god will definitely forgive you."

After he said this, many guards laughed and then drank.

In fact, the core values ​​of the Chinese nation have always been unbelieving in ghosts and gods. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a pretext for the Supreme Court to say that "the people are the masters of gods."

Many people always say that Chinese people lack faith, and those who say this actually don’t even understand what faith is. China has no faith since ancient times, so this is not an exaggeration. For example, if a student wants to take the exam, he will worship Confucius. If he doesn’t work, he can worship Wenquxing. If he asks for a son, he will worship Bodhisattvas, and Maitreya, in short, there are all kinds of them.

Have you ever seen Christians go to worship Allah if they ask God for help but not be effective?

Therefore, the Chinese nation is not a nation that believes in a certain god, but a civilization that continues and develops around a core value. At the beginning, the Zhou Li and later the Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons. After the May Fourth Movement, the Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons were overthrown, and people were in an era when the old core values ​​were overthrown and the new core values ​​were not deeply rooted in people's hearts, so they were inevitably confused and empty.

When core values ​​cannot adapt to social progress, they will be eliminated. Each change of core values ​​requires countless blood, long time and a lot of effort.

From a psychological point of view, human beings are living and cognitive. People build a cognition of the world, such as where people come from, where the world comes from, and where they will go after death. Different eras have different answers. The ancients said that the world was opened up by Pangu. People come from reincarnation, and after death, they turn into ghosts to reincarnation. Modern people say that the universe comes from the Big Bang.

With the progress of human cognition, cognition is constantly updated and replaced. In modern times, science that builds a basic worldview will change, and perhaps one day the science that humans currently know will be overthrown again and replaced by new cognition.

So if you want to change people, you have to change the perception of building the world. For example, Jesus changed the world in people's eyes once, Newton changed it once, and Hawking changed it again, and every word changed the world in people's eyes became different, and people also changed it.

This kind of change is what Li Ye wants.

When I drank sweet white wine and basked in the sun, I almost fell asleep in a daze, I suddenly heard someone calling my name.

Li Ye turned around and found that he was not the one he knew at all. He mobilized the memories in his mind, but he still found nothing.

"Old man's tomb Daoyu." The other party bowed.

Li Ye was stunned for a moment...

......

He never expected that he would meet the general of the dynasty even if he went up the mountain to worship a mountain god.

However, Zhong Daoyu was different from what he imagined. Although the old man had white hair and beard, he was very energetic. He was older than the emperor, but he looked much better than the emperor and Degong.

His skeleton is wide, but thin, with large finger joints.

"The general also believes in ghosts and gods?" Li Ye asked curiously as he walked. Zhong Daoyu only brought one follower. The follower was tall and powerful. He was carrying chicken, wine and rice in his hand.

The old man said, "If you don't believe me, I will worship my brothers, not the mountain god."

"Why shouldn't the sacrificer go to the tomb? How could he come to the mountain?"

Zhong Daoyu walked hard and said as he walked, "Many people don't have tombs, so they can only come to high places to worship, so that everyone can see it."

Li Ye understood that he was talking about the person who died on the battlefield: "Since you don't believe in ghosts and gods, what's the use of worship?"

He shook his head: "Worship is to make one's heart feel at ease, not for ghosts and gods. If there are ghosts and gods, how can I be safe in the world?"

When Zhong Daoyu talked to Li Ye, no one else dared to interrupt, especially after learning about his identity.

Li Ye understood a little. Zhong Daoyu was a general of the Jing Dynasty, who was in charge of the Privy Council, and had a high position and a high position. However, people were worried. Whether it was superior or inferior, they were different, and they were different. Although he was in a high position, he fought in the south and north in his life. He was a real war god on the battlefield, whether his old friends or enemies, and he died many times. It was a threshold that he could not overcome in his heart.

"I understand a little, I will mean that one general will achieve success and thousands of bones will be destroyed." Li Ye said.

"A general succeeded and thousands of bones were woven..." Zhong Daoyu thought about it and then said, "The prince is indeed very talented."

Li Ye laughed and said, "I am very talented and worthy of being a warrior, and I never bother with words when speaking.

Afterwards, they rested on the pavilion halfway up. After all, Zhong Daoyu was old and walked slowly, but he was not able to find him first, so he had to wait for him.

Zhong Daoyu's short speech was probably a habit developed in the army.

The general's orders should not be too long. If it is passed on by word of mouth, it is easy to make mistakes. Therefore, over time, the people in the ancient army spoke briefly and capable, so many things happened in history.

As we talked about, Zhong Daoyu actually talked about the military restructuring.

When he talked about Li Ye, he was stunned. Military reform?

"What is military reform?"

"Don't talk to me even if the prince is not a fan." Zhong Daoyu said bluntly.

"I sent someone to investigate. At first, Wang Yue submitted a memorial, which made His Majesty think about changing the military system. He also said that the masters were talking about the argument, but he refused to reveal his name.

The memorial was discussed throughout the article, so I thought that there were not many people in the capital who were in Guanbei. Wei Chaoren was in the Censorate, and only the Wei siblings were outside. After people checked, the Wei siblings were actually in your mansion. Wang Yue often went to and from Xiaowang Mansion. If it weren't for you, who else could there be?"

Zhong Daoyu said slowly, but Li Ye's face became less and less beautiful. After coming to this world, it was the first time that someone found out his secret through reasoning and investigation.

"Are General Chung afraid of my revenge when he spys on others like this?" Li Ye asked with a smile. Although he laughed, the more he smiled, the more he smiled, the more he was, the more serious he was.

Zhong Daoyu also laughed: "Hahaha, I believed five points before, but now I believe you, and I believe nine points. I have a talented person with a talent but not a direct statement to the emperor. I must be scruples, if you are the one who makes sense. Your Majesty is old, and no one wants Prince Xiao to be a capable person at this time."

Li Ye said lightly: "General Zhong now knows, what are the plans for the next one?"

"I said, I'll ask you for advice." He bowed.

Li Ye frowned. He thought that he would have no intention of exploring his details so hard: "What do the general want to ask?"

"The matter of changing the military system." He sighed as he said that.

"I have already mentioned this in the court, and everyone has opposed it before, and so is Your Majesty. Now Your Majesty agrees, but many ministers ignore it.

The commander in front of the palace, the commander of the infantry guards and the commander of the guards was against me. After all, the military commander changed to the third yamen. As the heads of the third yamen, they naturally opposed it, but the civil and military officials in the court were as indifferent.
