Time flies, the sun and the moon pass by, and before you know it, it is the end of October.

These days, the Privy Council has a lot of things to do, mainly about the deployment of the north, the arrangements of officials at all levels, and the recruitment of new troops.

What Li Xingzhou didn't expect was that because of the famous name of King Jin, it actually attracted many young people. The recruitment of the new army was even smoother than he thought, and recruited many more people who could read literacy than he thought. So far, there have been more than 100 people who have read books.

This doesn't seem to be much, but you should know that this ratio is actually very exaggerated.

Ancient dynasties had different degrees of ignorance of the people, which made it difficult for ordinary people to have the conditions to study, so the literacy rate was relatively low.

Now that recruiting talents begins, we can recruit so many, which is enough to show that some scholars are indeed here.

Li Xingzhou attaches great importance to these scholars.

There are two kinds of scholars in this world. One is to keep silent and abandon his pen and join the army every day to defend his country. Or it is wrong here and not good there, but just talk about it. When things really happen, he will run faster than anyone else.

The other is to say that you can do it, even if you are covered in bruises, even if you are angry and young, you can't do it, but you dare to do it. He likes this kind of scholar and is happy to give them the opportunity to play.

Now they all dare to enter the army as scholars, and Li Xingzhou naturally appreciates it. You should know that today's army is not an army under overall peace under nuclear deterrence like later generations.

There are wars every few days, and if they are not handled well, they will destroy the country and the race. Just like the Daliao, which had previously dominated the north, died in just a few years, and many people died on the battlefield.

Just in the spring and summer of this year, in the past few months, tens of thousands of troops in the three armies of Jingguo died in the north. Even so, they still dared to come. Li Xingzhou also valued these scholars.

So I told Wei Yubai, Yan Shen and Chanlin privately that these scholars would specially compile a book.

...........

In fact, when it comes to ignoring the people, it is an interesting question. Many people who do not understand the pre-Qin schools will definitely follow the crowd and scold Confucius for harming the country. Confucianism has harmed the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

This is a huge unjust case, so it is naturally easy to put a hat on it, and no one wants to understand it.

Among the hundreds of pre-Qin schools, three mentioned the ignorant people, namely the Legalists, Taoists, and Mohists.

The "fool people" in these three families are different.

It is better to say that the Mohist family is "liaring the people" than to fool the people, and to restrain people by deceiving the people to believe in ghosts and gods.

Taoism says that the people are fooled because they want to do nothing, and what they require is not only the people to be "fool", rulers, nobles, etc. Everyone must be "fool", in order to pursue the state of inaction and doing everything, which is more like philosophical thinking.

The "fool of the people" of the Legalists is the fool of the people that the rulers really hope for. The reason why the Legalists proposed fooling the people is because the starting point is that "human nature is evil". Since human nature is evil, education and education are useless. The people only need to know the king's laws, and they cannot learn or think, otherwise they will think randomly.

This is the foolish people of the Legalists, so many scholars say that after Emperor Wu of Han arrived in the Qing Dynasty, the national ideology was "Confucian skin and legal bones". When Confucianism was used to talk about things, they did the Legalists' style.

This also made the essence of the two theories not actually exerted and were tampered with by later generations, which was completely different from the pre-Qin philosophers. The basic theory of the Legalists was buried and did not mention it at all, but the law of the Legalists was used to kill people.

The most serious distortion of Confucianism is. Dong Zhongshu's response to heaven and man also said that if the pre-Qin Confucian Confucianism knew that he could be angry and killed. What is even more serious is the Confucian Neo-Confucianism, the so-called Neo-Confucianism that blends Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, was finally classified as a kind of Confucianism. A branch represented by Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism directly changed even the core values ​​of Confucianism.

Slowly becoming a tool of domination.

.........

Li Xingzhou was drinking tea, and there was a cold autumn rain outside the window. Every time it rained, it would get a little colder.

Gillian sat next to him, clinging to him, helping him see the documents from all over the place to the Privy Council.

Shiyu sat opposite, holding a pen in his hand, flipping through the accounts, and then said to him: "Zhao Si would send the expense details every few days. He said that it was his apprentice who wrote it for him, so there would be no delay."

He nodded.

"These letters are all congratulations and praises." After reading the letter, Gillian put the letter aside: "It's from Jiangzhou and Guanbei."

He nodded again.

"The first batch of new military uniforms will arrive tomorrow. It was asked by Suzhou to do it. Princess Qing'an is responsible for the transportation of Qifang. The total cost of 23,850 taels has been recorded."

Li Xingzhou nodded again.

"Prince, Sister Wei's younger brother Wei Xingping has arrived in Jiangzhou. He has about four days to go to the capital. He said he would bring his personal soldiers and entourage and cooks, a total of 503 people. He couldn't live in the inn outside the city. What should he do?"

"It's okay, let them station in the new army camp then." He said lazily, and the raindrops outside the house fell down the tile ditch, ticking.

"The first batch of newly recruited chemical factory workers have been placed." Shiyu said: "But the second batch will have to wait for a while."

Speaking of this, Li Xingzhou laughed: "When it comes to those workers, you are really capable. Even Taoists from Shandong can invite them."

Shiyu smiled sly: "They don't want to come, so what can they do if the Prince of Jin gives the order?"

"You are really my good general. What's going on in your hands to make good things happen!" Li Xingzhou laughed and leaned over and kissed her.

The poem is angry and ashamed, "Don't always be like this in broad daylight!"

......

The chemical factory worker that Shi Yu found for him was the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple in Shandong!

This trick is very effective. These Taoists not only know how to read, but also learn the method of alchemy since childhood. They can prepare various medicines and use instruments with ease.

It is simply a talent specially prepared for the Wangfu Chemical Factory, just like Western alchemy.

Of course, not all Taoist sects study alchemy. The only branch that studies alchemy is still despised by Taoist orthodox sects and regarded as a side-door.

However, Shiyu is very smart. The Taoist priests she asked to invite were all from Quanzhen Longmen School in Shandong.

Quanzhen Dragon Gate belongs to the Danding Gate in the Taoist Sect, which is specially designed to study alchemy. Although he usually makes some messy things, is addicted to playing with mercury, and eats them from time to time, he has no choice but to say the skills. He has been practicing accurately in the heat and dosage since childhood.

These Taoist priests were unwilling to come, after all, they just wanted to refine alchemy in the Taoist temple and be a tool. Who would like to?

However, Li Xingzhou was the Prince of Jin. He was forced and tempted to give them high salaries. He even personally ordered the local wing army commander in Shandong as the Privy Councilor and King of Jin to cooperate with them. After more than ten days of tossing, the Taoist priests were "willed to" come.

Li Xingzhou also provided an assistant to each Taoist priest in order to cultivate more talents in this field.

There were eighteen Taoist priests in the first batch to "invite" and thirty-six assistants.

Their joining has made the chemical plant in Wangfu initially operate, and a batch of mercury can be produced every day. Currently, it is mainly used for Zhao Si's experiments, while the excess is passivated storage.

Li Xingzhou felt more and more that his life was too depraved. There were poems and words in the royal palace, and a lot of people such as Fang, Yan Kun, Zhurong, Fang Xin, Yan Gu, Tie Niu, Guan Zhong were dealt with below.

The military affairs include Yan Shen, Wei Yubai, Shen Lin, Di Zhi......

The court had Jiao, Degong, He Zhao, Bao Zheng and others who helped each other from time to time, and felt that they were almost a useless person.

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but lean on Gillian's warm and fragrant thighs. Alas, it's so depraved!
