Chapter 175 Historical Research Association

Tan Xiaopei is naturally selfish in doing this. He is not dissatisfied with Tan Weiming's performance, but he is not willing to change the prince, so he is even more likely to provoke the relationship between the two brothers in such a clumsy way. However, compared to Tan Weiming, he is more optimistic about Tan Weiran's performance in this debate. Indeed, because of Tan Weiran's identity, although he is very enthusiastic about various things and diligent, it is difficult for him to gather a team of staff around him. Whether now or in the future, Tan Weiran must be the kind of person who picks up the missing. But he has not received much experience now, although he has handled the Ministry of Works, Ministry of War, Blood Qi Army, Danyang City Defense Army, and the inner palace in recent years.

There are many things, but he has not yet settled down his personality. Instead, he has more time to think about comprehensive, overall, but relatively in-depth content after gaining a variety of preliminary insights. Tan Weiran is much more serious and in-depth than Tan Weiming when studying economics and accounting with Tan Weixin, especially Tan Weixin mentioned that he has many thoughts on the principles of the national economic system, core competitiveness, macro-control, economic leverage, etc. He also put a lot of effort into studying the Leiyin Demon Sect and related systems that Ye Tao had a clever idea at that time. It can be said that purely in terms of concepts, Tan Weiran is more avant-garde and comprehensive than Tan Weiming.

After all, the roles of the two brothers are completely different. What Tan Weiming is required to understand and master the overall situation, understand all aspects of knowledge, and understand how to use and allocate resources efficiently to achieve the goal. His knowledge construction and thinking style are based on practicality and feasibility. In such a debate, it doesn’t matter what Tan Weiming performs. What is important is that he can further master the abilities and character of those people under his hands. How to use these people well and how to discover other talents outside of these people’s eloquence is what Tan Weiming needs to pay attention to.

Tan Weiming will be the emperor of the future, and Tan Weiran... In Tan Xiaopei's thinking, he hopes to train this equally smart and diligent son to be an assistant who has a clear understanding of national policies and policies. And at the most critical and critical moment, he needs to be the one who can stand up, shoulder all the pressure, and work with all the doubts and pressures. Tan Xiaopei himself was unable to do this back then... And he now believes that with the deep friendship of their brothers, with their talented sister Tan Weixin's influence and teaching, under his consistent long-term training plan, these two people can end the war in their generation.

It is said to be a debate. But in fact, this activity has a very distinctive characteristic of discussion, but it only takes the form of debate in form. The form of debate itself is constantly changing. At the beginning, three parties take turns to speak, each party makes a statement, and then debates this part of the statement. The statement is conducted twice, the first time is carried out in full and cannot be interrupted, while the second time is interrupted and questions can be raised at any time. This form of debate is too long. Mainly, no matter how well prepared, there are always places that cannot convince the other party, and there are always doubtful materials. No one can convince anyone.

Then, after spending a day discussing the debate rules, the plan they all agreed was to introduce a twelve-member deliberation team in addition to the tripartite debate. After the tripartite debate, the vote decided which side won. It is not a simple person to be able to sit on the deliberation seat. Most of them were patriarchs and senior deacons of various major families, ministers of the third ranks in the court, the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College, the bachelor of the Yong'an Palace, the priests, senior officials with more than 15 years of work experience, famous scholars in Dongping, representatives of businessmen who have great business as much as their economy, and the old masters of the Jianghu who have a high prestige... and so on.

Since the review team that occurred after the first debate in this form completely ignored the situation and the authenticity of the materials, they quickly passed the supplementary provisions. Before the debate begins, either party can request that the members of the review team be replaced to ensure that the review results are fair and effective.

This... is basically a replica of the debate method of the jury system, which gradually makes the debate become formal. For each debate topic, everyone must analyze and prepare as much as possible within the time limit, and they need to put forward the materials they summarized and extracted in a very concise manner, and design various debate strategies in the debate...

Although it has a considerable performance nature and may damage the academic significance of debate or discussion, the collision of materials in this limited time and space is extremely exciting. The seats in the deliberation team were indeed enthusiastically applied for by many people who felt they were qualified. Later, even the audience seats were hard to find.

Those debate topics are even sharper than the other. Some are even disobedient. For example, the first debate topic is "justice and legitimacy", which focuses on discussing various countries that also split from the unified country at that time, including Dongping. This topic is usually a topic that people will sweat in a cold sweat even if they think about it, let alone debate in broad daylight. Then there are "extravagance", "development and overdevelopment", "from unification to division", "war and national development", "policy consistency and policy consistency", "performance of treacherous ministers", "collect, organization and fabricate evidence" and so on. These topics involve a country's

In all aspects, but since it is a major historical proposition, it does not limit the time and space of the materials, everyone has great room for play. As the debate progresses, when Ye Tao and Tan Weixin have to participate in it more and more deeply and enthusiastically, the debate not only explores history, but also adds a lot of reflections on Dongping's various policies, and even reflections on historical research itself. When "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", "crossing the river by feeling the stones", "macro regulation", "financial, liquidity and excessive flow" and other statements and theories emerge one by one, everyone realizes that this debate may have a profound impact on Dongping's future.

More inspiringly, after a lot of analysis and sorting work, Ye Tao and Weixin produced extremely solid data. These data irrefutably illustrate how corrupt the unified dynasty was when the countries including Dongping split from the unified country, how deep the living standards of ordinary people were, and how low the wealth of corrupt officials was...

To their shock, they found that through some public data surveys, Chen Jia, who was considered the last loyal minister of the empire, had the truth about the so-called retreat of the tribe after the empire's demise: Although the Chen family disappeared inexplicably, almost all the families and industries that had various joint relationships with the Chen family were prosperous and wealthy in the following decades and hundreds of years. Although there were no detailed documents and records for a long time, tracking the whereabouts of the Chen family became impossible, through local chronicles and local literati and famous people collected from various places about the changes in the surrounding situation, the families that suddenly rose within a few years after the empire's destruction still entered Nie Rui's vision... Such a thing was so sensational. When the news spread, not only the Dongping dynasty, but also the Bei Liao, Xiling, and Chunnan countries were touched. But the evidence was there. Everyone couldn't help but believe it.

This may be the first time and space that the study of history was not carried out by two profound scholars at home, but by several teams of several analysis efforts. It may also be the first time that accounting and economics knowledge has entered the scope of historical research, but the numbers in that group are so shocking.

While the debate is underway, each debate is over, in less than ten days, Baowentang's printed "Historical Research" will inevitably turn the entire process of the debate into a beautiful print and put it on the shelves. Since too many people participated in this series of debates, it is really impossible to keep it confidential. In the case of impossible keeping it confidential, Tan Weixin's choice is to take the official release into her own hands, so as not to get rid of it outside more and more mysterious. "Historical Research" is probably the first irregular academic journal in this time and space. Although historical research is the form of on-site recording, from reading and understanding the perspectives of all parties, it is not very concise, especially under the rules of debate, not watching it on the spot is a huge loss, and "Historical Research" is far from reflecting the whole picture of the debate, but

This series of books still became the first bestseller in this time and space. Taking the first volume as an example, the first volume was printed 3,000 volumes, and then eleven were printed one after another. In the two years after its publication, the total number of prints exceeded 40,000 volumes. There was no technology such as photo-printing in this time and space. Although Baowentang had begun to use extremely modern technology such as lead movable type, coated paper, color printing, hot glue binding, etc., it was impossible to solve the problem of plate making storage. Each printing required re-made, and a total of twenty-two versions changed slightly due to different technical details, and there were problems such as typos due to the problem of process processes, which caused many scholars to have headaches. Some book collectors in this era were proud to be able to collect all versions...

"Historical Research" was not only widely spread in Dongping, but also spread to surrounding countries. Then the three debate groups also published a series of books based on their respective research results. For example, "The Melancholy of the Empire" (author Tan Weiming), "Salvation and Freedom" (author Feng Zi), "The Setting Sun of the Empire" (author Qin Zeheng). "Chen Jia's Scam" (author Shi Wei, Li Mian), "History of the Empire System" (author Qu Yan), "Natural Disasters and Man-made Disasters" (author Mu Anlong).... This series of books, known as the "big historical library", was in a very short time.

It occupied almost all the princes and nobles in the entire Middle-earth continent, from the king to the ambitious minor officials' desks. After supplementing a lot of solid materials, the papers originally written by Ye Tao and Feng Zi were finally published. The first two-volume version of "Thunder Cliff Essays" was published in Ye Tao and Feng Zi added the signature of Tan Weixin after Ye Tao. This set of books not only allowed Ye Tao to be the world's largest craftsman, but also became a famous scholar and historian, and also spread this research method and attitude towards history.
