Chapter 21 Ideas
Governing a country is not too difficult, but ensuring the inheritance of a tribe or nation is a difficult task. The most difficult thing to govern a country is nothing more than the issue of heirs. To ensure the inheritance of a nation, all aspects must be considered.
If a nation is not brave enough, it will be sooner or later enslaved and destroyed by foreign races. It is precisely because of such experience that it can write poems like "War" (if I | live in the era of war | others are on the front line | I can only be by my side | shout for help); if a nation does not have its own thinking tradition and metaphysical thinking, it will be assimilated by other races and dissolved sooner or later.
Although Xiong Jing kept saying "I am a barbarian" and did not implement the Zhou system but the Ao system, in fact, the Chu people were born from Chinese culture and could not change it, and there was no need to change it. If they were not promoted like this, the Chu system could not be changed.
However, bravery can be awakened, but the tradition of thinking needs to be cultivated bit by bit. This made Xiong Jing think of Gongsun Long's works again. Although he could not accurately describe them appropriately, he could feel the language world that Gongsun Long pursued.
How many things in the world can exist independently of the material world and be self-consistent? Very few.
Numbers can exist independently of the material world, which is well known. Numbers do not require matter. They are an independent and self-consistent existence. Its charm makes Archimedes still painstakingly calculate when he was executed, "He cannot leave incomplete formulas for the world";
Metaphysical rational logic is another independent self-consistent existence. It can not only exist independently outside the material world, but also distort human understanding of the material world through rational logic. The most obvious example is the lawyer's debate. The criminal is obviously guilty, but he can use logical facts to prove that the criminal is innocent and create a completely correct false world;
Finally, life itself may be left behind the independent world. Survival and existence are two different things, just like mating and having sex are two different things. The former is the friction between flesh and flesh, while the latter is the fusion between spirit and spirit. This is also a self-consistent existence outside the independent world, just like Gongsun Long's name, Archimedes' numbers, and lawyers' innocence, can all build a completely correct false world out of thin air.
No matter how advanced the technology is, how well the weapons are, and how brave the soldiers are, they will eventually be destroyed. Because they all rely on the material world, but the material world is always changing. The self-consistent existence outside the material world is eternal and solidified. The metaphysical system established thousands of years ago can still be seen vividly after thousands of years. It can be touched. Its height is the height of a nation, and its existence is the existence of a nation.
Thinking of this, Xiong Jing couldn't help but sigh again that he was at the end of a great era. After two thousand years of greatness, those who were gradually swallowed up by alien civilizations could only look up to him. Even if they looked up to him, they still couldn't understand it very much.
They may have forgotten that they devoured the Xianbei people, Jurchens, Mongols, and Manchus by relying on their independent material world, so they turned a blind eye to the current situation where they were being devoured. Of course, it is also possible that the rule of the traitors for two thousand years, the people who wrote books and talked about the arguments and talkers disappeared, and they could no longer create a material outside world that was higher than that of foreign civilizations, and could only wait for the destiny of being devoured.
If, if you cannot change your current destiny, you must change your destiny in the future. Xiong Jing thought so, and the sleep was very quiet at this time. The cool breeze of early summer blew in from outside the door, causing the curtains in the Mingtang to float slowly. Chang Jiang stood quietly. For so many years, he knew that the king could not be disturbed at this time. Perhaps the king was thinking about something strange. He thought so.
"What else is there today?" Xiong Jing asked for a long time.
"Zhu Ao and Xiang Hou wanted to meet with the king to discuss the matter of raising horses and sailing." Chang Jiang agreed, this was Xiong Jing's schedule.
"What else?" Xiong Jing asked again, both of them were big things.
"There is also Gong Yindao. He wants to meet with the king, discuss and discuss the Thunder God's weapon. Also," Chang Jiang mentioned Gong Yindao again, "...the matter of building boats and exhaling machines."
"Yeah." Xiong Jing nodded. Sulfur finally came out. Although not much, it could be tested at least. Maybe Zaofu has built two twelve-pound field cannons and flintlock guns according to his drawings. Boat building is also a big deal. There are not many sea boats that have been launched this year, but there are many sea boats that have been launched next year. The steam ventilator is a steam engine. The craftsmen do not know anything about steam, but only know that the machine always exhales the earth when it moves, so it is called a steam ventilator. Because there are available boring machines, the maid that reaches the level of a watt steam engine does not only use a steam engine to pump water, it can also do other work-
The involute gears are indeed impossible to calculate, but without the involute gears, there is no gear? Of course not. The history of gears is much longer than the history of gears, just like the history of human food is much longer than the history of bowls and chopsticks. The mausoleum has bronze ball bearings and original gears, and steam engines can be used in many aspects.
"There is also a military academy that will be offered a wine-sacrificial wine, and the King of Luyang wants to meet the king." Chang Jiang said of the military academy, "The King of Luyang asked when the King of Luyang would be able to arrive at the military academy."
"Military School..." Xiong Jing scratched his head. The military school opened last year. When the ritual of the cuisine was released this year, Xiong Jing once promised Luyang Jun to sit for the military school students to discuss it, but he kept dragging it, not knowing what to do with the military school’s reputation.
"Wei Jia, the envoy of Zhao, asked for a meeting and said that the King of Zhao had granted the King the state of Shuozhou as a fief." Chang Jiang finally talked about the envoy of Zhao.
"The State of Zhao is not in good faith." Xiong Jing sighed. The information from the State of Knowledge shows that Qin is about to launch a war against Zhao. The attack on Zhao is a realistic consideration. Since the State of Chu has become stronger, Zhao cannot become stronger. If Zhao becomes stronger, and once Chu and Zhao form an alliance, it will not be so easy for Qin to unify the world.
"King?" Chang Jiang said so many arrangements, but he still didn't know whether Xiong Jing would meet or not. If he saw him, who would he see him first?
"Zhu Ao, there is also Xiang Hou." Xiong Jing said. Xiang Yan was granted a marquis last year and was granted to Xiang County. This title is different from Zhu's contract and the seal of the Yushi. Xiang County is already the private property of the Xiang family and a vassal state independent of Chu. The property rights are very clear. Another general, Lian Po, was also granted to the North City of Daliang. If the Chu and Wei do not renew the lease alliance in twenty-five years later, then the Beicheng will be taken back by Wei.

"Ha, Mazda! Hoh, great power!
When I maintain good virtues in your heavenly palace, follow the sincere Holy Spirit, and always forget prayers, piety and diligence, let you protect it with eternal power.
All those who bow to the feet of the evil tyrant are of bad quality, dirty language, and evil! At the end of the world, the souls of other sinners will receive the false believers with filthy food. They will inevitably fall into hell, the devil's cave of lies..."
In the Muling Pass Inn, the expelled envoy, Ganu, chanting the scriptures devoutly, in order to obtain the blessing of the God of Light, and cursing the false believer Hu Dansazhi. That day, when Hu Dansazhi went to the inn to sleep again, Ganu Ban saw the wooden box in his arms. He did not tell Benbo Qizhi about this, because Benbo Qizhi suddenly became ill.
His illness was very sudden. On the night when he was driven out of Yingdu and boarded the Zhuyi Warship, he was sweating profusely and could no longer get up in the morning to make normal prayers. When the Zhuyi Warship sailed them to Muling Pass for three days, Benboqi, who was carrying them ashore, knew that he had lost consciousness, even though Ganou had recited the Sutra of Light countless times.
"Hao, Haoma, Haoma..." Benbo Qizhi shouted softly in confusion.
"What? What do you want?" Ganu hurriedly approached the minister and asked.
"Haoma,Haoma..." Benbo Qizhi shouted with all his strength, but the sound was like a mosquito. Fortunately, Ganou half understood, and he hesitated for a second, then opened the wooden box and squeezed him into a thick hemp juice.
"Haha, Ahura Mazda!" The effect of the medicine quickly played a role. Benbo Qizhi finally said a complete sentence. He reluctantly worshiped the fire burning in the room, and then looked at Ganuban and said, "Ganuban, my fellow believers, can you help me?"
Whenever the church members were about to see Mazda, they would drink a corner of the cup of Haoma juice to stimulate their final potential. Ganu's eyes were a little wet, and he could never imagine that the wise and holy Benboqin knew that he would die before his eyes.
"Yes," he said with a forced smile. "I swear in the name of Ahura Mazda to do everything you want me to do."
"Okay." Benbo Qizhi also laughed forcefully, and he immediately said, "Tell Kang Motian everything we have happened in Chuni, and don't hide anything. Chuni is different from any Eastern country. Chuni's king knows almost everything, but Chuni's religion is very primitive. They worship fire, and the main god is Mitra (the sun god)."
When Benbo Qizhi said, "They worshipped fire," the holy fire kept shining. During the two months waiting for Xiong Jing to return to the capital, he observed the sacrifices of the Chu witches from the newspapers and from the court before the ancestor temple. What surprised him the most was that the Chuni people were also a nation that worshipped fire. They claimed that they were descendants of the Fire God Zhurong, which made Benbo Qizhi have an idea:
"If possible, we should preach in Chuni, so that all Chuni people can serve Ahura Mazda. We can even tell them that Chuni religion was also inspired by Ahura Mazda.
Don't worry about the king of Chuni. The king cannot control everything of his subjects, especially his faith. As long as the Chuni believe that his Lord God is one of the gods of Ahura, they will believe in the Light. As long as we can preach like the ancestors, Mazda can come to this land...
When one-fifth of the Chuni people believe in the Light, the Chuni king will be helpless. Perhaps, the Chuni people will be our hope to get rid of Mahadul's rule…”
The opposite Macedonian army was the Sogdians powerless; facing the Greek gods and Greek philosophy, just as Alexander ignored the Indian wise men who stomped their feet before him, the Greeks who ruled Sogdians had no fear of Zoroastrianism and even despised this primitive and backward religion.
