Chapter 13 Cihang Jingzhai!

The ten strategies are mainly governing the country, which involves a century-old plan and is difficult to work in a short period of time.

Liu Xiu offered papermaking and printing again, which was the basis for popular education; then he offered telescopes and video telegraphs.

Video telegraph sounds high-end, but it is actually just a matter of thinking and there is no technical difficulty. - a visual telegraph system invented by Chapei, a Frenchman in the 18th century. There are three horizontal bars on the wooden pillars, showing nine numbers, and a string of numbers representing a certain text.

A message rod is set up every thirty miles to display different numbers. A soldier uses a telescope to observe the numbers displayed on the crossbar, record it, and then uses the crossbar to display the corresponding numbers. After seeing it with a telescope, he records it and continues to teleport to thirty miles away.

Manual relay transmission is not at all difficult.

The tools required are just teleportation rods, telescopes, codebooks, etc.

What may have happened in Jiangnan was teleported to Chang'an. If it was teleported by fast horses, it would take ten days to achieve it. It only takes one hour to rely on video telegraphs. The disadvantage is that it is cloudy and rainy, and the vision is not good and cannot be teleported.

"Sir, he is a great talent!" Listening to the four major technologies, Fu Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, especially the video telegraph, which had a huge advantage. He immediately wanted to give Liu Xiu an official position.

But Liu Xiu refused.

It takes seven days to burn jade to test it, and it takes seven years to distinguish it!

A king chooses his ministers, and a minister also chooses his king.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, one can only be loyal to one emperor, which belongs to the buyer's market; but now, there are many emperors, which belongs to the seller's market. Many talents have many choices. As the saying goes, if you don't keep your master here, you will have your own place to keep your master. If you don't keep your master everywhere, you will have your grandfather stump!

"As for steelmaking, explosives, hot air balloons, etc., the impact is too great, so let's keep it a hand!"

When he left, Liu Xiu couldn't help but think of it.

In this era, the poor iron smelting technology was mainly pig iron, and the steel output was limited. Armor was mainly leather armor, vine armor, and iron armor was rare. Iron armor was also mainly fish scale armor and had limited defense. Among the army, only a few elite troops had armor, and most troops were armorless.

He has steelmaking technology and can make steel on a large scale, making the price of steel to the limit, allowing hundreds of thousands of troops to wear plate armor, greatly increasing its defense, and extremely lightweight.

As for explosives, the so-called black gunpowder is nothing at all. The so-called picric acid, nitric acid cotton explosive, TNT explosive, etc. can also be made. Due to insufficient industrial technology, the cost of manufacturing may be greater, and may be much inferior in quality and power, which can be enough to explode any city wall.

When steelmaking and gunpowder are mature, field artillery can be created, cavalry cannons can be killed, and the enemy's infantry formation can be broken.

It can also create hot air balloons, airships, etc., and form an air force bombing force and an air force transportation team. Just imagine how powerful the Air Force stands on a hot air balloon, throws down explosive packs, bombards the enemy's formation, or bombards the defenders in the city.

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, which limited the radius of the army's attack. However, airships could transport food with dozens of tons and hundreds of tons, and the speed was even higher than that of carriages and horses. The impact on the war was extremely huge.

The technical manufacturing difficulty of hot air balloons, airships, etc. is almost zero, and there is not much technical difficulty.

However, Liu Xiu does not plan to launch these technologies, and the harm is too great, so let’s keep it a hand!

…………

In the room, Fu Jian looked unstable, surprised and shocked.

At this time, the screen opened, Wang Meng walked out and coughed: "Your Majesty, you are satisfied!"

"I'm very satisfied!" Fu Jian said: "It's just that he is too arrogant!"

"Aren't afraid of being arrogant, but afraid of being incompetent." Wang Meng said: "Human hearts are confused, and this is the foundation of the turmoil in the world. The ten strategies he mentioned are a hundred years of major plans and take a hundred years. You can't be impatient. Once you are impatient, the situation will collapse!"

Fu Jian said: "Which policy should we start with the ten strategies?"

Wang Meng said: "Establish the three provinces and six ministries system to consolidate the foundation of Guanzhong!"

One king and one prime minister started talking about specific implementation strategies.

"Then why did he refuse to join Qin?" Fu Jian asked in the end.

Wang Meng said: "The king chooses his ministers, and his ministers chooses his kings. He doesn't like my great Qin. He thinks that the Qin Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of Qin Shihuang. Even if the Jin Dynasty is destroyed, even if the world is unified, the country's fortune will not exceed fifty years, and it may die in the second lifetime!"

…………

He entered Guanzhong, but did not join Qin.

Liu Xiu was observing, observing Qin, and observing Fu Jian.

In history, Fu Jian was defeated in the Battle of Feishui. The Qiang people, Xianbei and others who had originally surrendered, raised troops one after another and attacked the Former Qin. After ten years of persistence, the Former Qin was destroyed.

But Liu Xiu felt that even if Fu Jian won the Battle of Feishui, defeated the Jin Dynasty, and destroyed the Jin Dynasty, he could not change his destiny. The territory is not as large as possible, but the key is to rely on control ability, and control ability depends on traffic conditions, communication conditions, and bureaucratic execution.

In the Former Qin Dynasty, there was inconvenient transportation and inconvenient communication, and the shortage of officials, which led to the Former Qin Dynasty seemingly unifying the north, with powerful forces and numerous soldiers, but in fact, the only one who really controls is the place where the relevant central government is located. As for other areas, it is equivalent to the contracting method, which is contracted to the Qiang, Di, Xianbei, and even Han gentry.

As long as the local government does not rebel, soldiers and food will be sent on time, and the local government will be managed by them.

This ruling model made the rule of the Former Qin superficially and the foundation was not solid. If you keep winning, you might surrender to all sides; but as long as there is a big defeat, the whole world will rebel.

Liu Xiu was observing Guanzhong, observing Fu Jian... and Fu Jian seemed to have forgotten him, or Fu Jian was very busy and had no time to pay attention to him, a little person. Liu Xiu also forgot the profession of the imperial master, and began to wander around, admiring the mountains and rivers of Guanzhong.

As he walked, Liu Xiu climbed Mount Zhongnan.

Zhongnan Mountain was the temple of Quanzhen Sect in later generations, but in today's era, there are many temples on Zhongnan Mountain, and temples stand there, becoming a different scenery in Guanzhong. Looking at the temples, Liu Xiu's mind moved and couldn't help but feel the thought of destroying Buddha.

The Three Martial Arts destroyed Buddha" refers to the three events of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddha, and Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty destroyed Buddha. The posthumous titles or temple names of these in power all have the word Wu. If the destruction of Buddha during the Later Zhou Dynasty was added, it is collectively called "Three Martial Arts and One Sect destroyed Buddha".

In just a moment, Liu Xiu lost his mind.

Taoism belongs to the emperor and the nobles; Confucianism belongs to scholars and gentry; but temples belong to the people and the mortals.

Studying and becoming an official is too far away from the people; as for ascension to become an immortal, it is also far away from the people. Only temples are very close to the people. People cannot be without spiritual food, and if they do not, they will live a very painful life. In other words, those scholars and nobles are for the sake of wealth and honor, but the people are just for the sake of living, to go further, and to live happily!

It is easy to destroy the Buddha statues in the temple, but it is difficult to destroy the Buddha statues in the hearts of the people!

Buddhism can only be reformed but cannot be destroyed.
