I am Da Song

Chapter 394

I have to admit that the spirit of Confucian children is really persevering, or in other words, Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death, very stubborn.

Some of them promoted new laws and reformed Confucian classics.Some people run the imperial court and plan for the future.

If Zhao Huan was in power for a short time, he would really be unable to suppress the counterattack of these Confucianists. I am afraid that the government will die and the remnants of corruption will be revived.

Fortunately, Zhao Huan traveled directly to become the emperor, and he was able to start reforms quickly.

If you crossed over and became a commoner, it would take more than ten or twenty years to conquer the country, and then stabilize the situation in the court and start reforms, the time in office is not enough to consolidate the results of the reforms.

So Zhao Huan directly ordered to Wu Ge: "You can arrange for a capable man to replace all the guards in the East Palace later. Arrange your own servants to go to the East Palace to teach the prince the art of war and martial arts."

Wu Ge immediately understood the meaning of the official's words, the guards were all changed, and obviously all the maids and servants also had to be changed.At the same time, a group of spies were deployed to strictly monitor the prince's every move.

"Officials, do you want to clear away all the Confucian children around the prince?"

"No. Keep them, it's good. Give them official titles, and give money to the outstanding ones."

pretty good?
Wu Ge didn't figure out what to do until he left.

Let them confuse Guoben like this, wouldn't that shake the future of Song Dynasty?
And obviously, the number of the prince is basically abandoned.Zhao Huan planned to practice a trumpet again and train an heir.

But Zhao Huan did not intend to abolish the prince directly.

No matter what, he had to give full play to his peripheral vision to warm up the prince's charisma.

The future emperor of the empire prefers Confucianism, and he reuses Confucian ministers, which is bound to attract a large number of conservative Confucian children from the Central Plains.

There is no more attractive core than this, as long as you become the minister of Qiandi, once the prince is registered, everyone will have the merit of being a dragon.He can easily occupy a large number of prominent positions such as the six ministries and nine ministers in the imperial court, and even further become the left and right ministers in charge of the imperial court.

Ambitious elements in Confucianism are bound to gather here.

In fact, Zhao Huan did not have a bad sense of Confucianism.

Zhao Huan still appreciates the academic, thought and spirit of this school.

As long as they are willing to keep pace with the times and learn from the strengths of other families, they can easily create one powerful country after another.

Even in the later industrial generations, in the pan-Confucian cultural circle, powerful countries emerged in large numbers.

It’s not that Confucianism can’t handle industry well.

On the contrary, people educated by Confucianism are the most suitable for building an industrial power.

Confucianism just couldn't start the industrial age.

The people of Confucian civilization are industrious, simple, rigorous and introverted. They are simply the best workers in the industrial age.

After Zhao Huan established the industrial order in the Song Dynasty, the industrialization process had not yet accelerated, and these workshop owners had already begun to involve.

So as long as the industrial empire starts smoothly, the Song Dynasty must be the most powerful industrialized country in history.

Zhao Huan will never drive Confucianism to extinction, and Confucian culture is needed to maintain the prosperity of the Central Plains industry.

As long as the industry is strong, the empire will not decline, and it will not be backlashed by feudal states and vassals from all directions. Any rebellion is not worth mentioning in front of the absolute advantage of industrialization.

The only problem with Confucianism is that if they are not whipped and ruled by a group of corrupt Confucians, they will lie in their comfort zone and study a copy of "The Analects" for 2000 years.

Zhao Huan believed that if Confucius traveled through time and became a human again, and saw the appearance of his disciples and grandchildren, he would pick up the book and punish them to death.

So Zhao Huan simply used the prince to attract all the conservative and corrupt elements of Confucianism, then packed them up and threw them out of the Central Plains, and went to a distant place to establish a vassal state, open up foreign lands, and educate the barbarians.

If it was an agricultural society, Zhao Huan would never choose this option.

Once the vassal state rebelled, it would have a huge impact on the entire Central Plains suzerain vassal and tributary system.

The Vietnam rebellion, the Ming army dispatched more than 20 people, and the pacification was not smooth for many years, which caused an extremely heavy financial burden on the finances of the agricultural empire.

As far as the Central Plains is concerned, Vietnam is an absolute vassal of the Central Plains, no different from any vassal state since ancient times.

The entire political system of the country is the same as that of the Central Plains, and everything that can be imagined is exactly the same as the Central Plains vassal states in terms of writing, academics, spirit, culture, clothing, etiquette, solar terms, customs, calendars, etc.

They paid tribute regularly, and the eldest son was identified by the Central Plains, and the successor had to go to the Central Plains to ask the emperor to canonize him.

If Zhao Huan canonized a prince as a vassal, then there would be no difference between the prince and the king of Vietnam.

So it is conceivable what kind of disaster they will cause to the agricultural empire after their rebellion.

However, with the development of industrialization in the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains has an absolute advantage in the two most important aspects of industrial strength, including quality and scale.

And then canonize the prince as a vassal, there will be no threat.

The powerful industrial armed imperial army can easily put down any rebellion.

Artillery does not believe in tactics, only in range and size.Cannons can do whatever they want.

Packing all the corrupt elements of Confucianism can not only prevent them from causing trouble in the Central Plains, but also ensure that the feudal country will not be assimilated by the local barbarians.

After all, Confucianism is the toughest school of thought, best at educating barbarians.

In the Central Plains, there was such a powerful cultural wave, and they were all able to stick to the tradition and fight fiercely with the emperor Zhao Huan.

When they get to the place, they are bound to become even more lawless.

And the empire needs their tenacious quality like weeds.

Thereby spreading the civilization of the Central Plains.

Especially in Central Asia, it is a pity that the Central Plains civilization has withdrawn from here.

You must know that the existence of an empire will always leave behind a lot of civilization and influence.

For example, the British Empire on which the sun never sets, although these colonists did not think about seriously ruling the colonies.

But even if it became a colony, the British values, political system, and cultural customs have significantly changed everything there.

The influence lasted for tens of hundreds of years.

After the disintegration of the empire on which the sun never sets, the civilization system of the British Commonwealth was still maintained.

During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it once invaded Central Asia and left behind an extremely huge heritage and civilization system.

For example, Dashi and Heihan Kingdom will pay tribute to the Central Plains and recognize the Central Plains' tribute system.

The king of the Black Han Kingdom wrote to Zhao Huan and called him uncle.

Although Zhao Huan had no impression of this cheap nephew, he never sent troops there.

But he does exist and is a part of the Song civilization system.

It was only later that the Central Plains closed the country, so these remaining traces of civilization completely lost contact with the Central Plains and disappeared from the vision of the two countries of later generations.

And conferring the vassal king in the past can re-spread the civilization of the Central Plains to this land.Make the local area evolve in the direction of the Central Plains civilization again.Thereby expanding the scope of the entire Central Plains civilization.
