Da Qin: The First Emperor was reborn and made me the crown prince at the beginning

Of course, this is why the vast majority of those ancient civilizations have been cut off or annihilated in the dust of history.

Because, in our nation, in the Han Dynasty, there was Cai Lun.

And before the Han Dynasty, there were also bamboo slips.

That's right, don't underestimate bamboo slips.

Without the emergence of bamboo slips, there would be no contention of a hundred schools, and there would be no chance for our civilization to become the only ancient civilization that has been preserved.

When we used bamboo slips to write characters, foreign countries used parchment, bay leaves, and papyrus.

By the way, papyrus, it's from ancient Egypt.

But don't get me wrong, papyrus, it's really not paper!

It's just a matter of cutting the sedge stalk into thin slices, then soaking it in water, and then hammering it with a hammer to make it thinner and easier to write.

Its process, not to mention compared with papermaking, even compared with bamboo slips, is far behind.

Our bamboo slips were finally formed after several steps of cutting, cutting, drying (finishing), writing, drilling, and weaving.

It is not the same as the ancient Egyptian use of 843 just by beating the stems and leaves of plants.

If you really want to talk about it, this should actually be at the same level as our oracle.

After all, the oracle bone inscription is to engrave words on the turtle shell and keel.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were probably only a few hundred literate people in the entire dynasty.

And these people often symbolize and represent theocracy!

For knowledge is monopolized by the royal family and the high priests.

Therefore, the divine power can go hand in hand with the royal power, and even suppress the royal power repeatedly.

Like ancient India, it was so.

Even why the theocracy in the West has always been greater than the royal power is because of this.

If knowledge cannot be popularized, then human beings will never be able to get rid of ignorance, and they will never be able to get rid of theocratic control.

Even more terrifying.

And because knowledge is in the hands of a very small number of people.

So once these people are dead, then the whole civilization is interrupted.

Because there are only a few hundred or thousands of people who have mastered the written word, and there are only a few hundred or thousands of people who have the knowledge.

If all these people are dead, then even if the rest of them are still alive, they will probably be stragglers.

Without intelligence, what is the big difference between humans and chimpanzees?

And it wasn't until our papermaking technology spread that their middle-class and middle-class nobles were finally able to learn knowledge.

This gave rise to what is known in the West as the Renaissance.

By the way, papermaking, printing, gunpowder and many other treasures of our civilization were brought to the West by the Mongols.

And less than two hundred years after the expulsion of the Mongols from the West.

The Renaissance in the West quietly flourished.

This is against us, and it is a hundred schools of thought contending.

It's a pity that when the Western Renaissance happened, it happened to be our nation entering the era of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

This era is also an era when our nation is slowly approaching a downward slope, while the West is going uphill.

If it increases and decreases in this way, it is doomed that when the time comes to modern times, our nation will completely lag behind the West.

This also proves that our nation may contribute much more to the world than any other nation.

At the same time, it also proves why Yingchen will keep the technology of papermaking and printing so secret.

In this world, let's let Daqin become the most civilized country!

After all, when those weak civilizations are strong, the reward for us is often not to repay the favor.

It's bloody slaughter and brutal bullying.

On this side, we prefer to be selfish.

Far from it.

Let's just talk about bamboo slips.

From the time of the appearance of bamboo slips, it was destined that knowledge would not be monopolized (CAFH) in the hands of a very small number of people, such as the royal family and the high priest.

And the knowledge is mastered by more and more people, and it is destined that these small and medium-sized nobles will appear on the stage of history. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

It is also for this reason that we have a hundred schools of thought.

Think about it.

If knowledge is still monopolized in the hands of hundreds of people like the Shang Dynasty, is there still a grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought contending?

Hundreds of people, divided into dozens or even hundreds of schools?

Something is wrong!

The emergence of a hundred schools of thought also means that the heritage and resilience of our nation and civilization will be greatly enhanced.

There are more people who read, as long as these people are not killed.

The civilization of our nation has not been cut off.

In the Han Dynasty, the emergence of papermaking made knowledge more popular.

Therefore, even after the Western Jin Dynasty, the Han people in the entire north were killed to less than five million, but our nation was still not cut off.

Speaking of which, even in the Sui and Tang dynasties, paper was very valuable.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that paper became more popular.

And the popularity of paper also means that there are more and more people who read!

This announced the rise of the Hanmen and the decline of the family.

So, this is the economic base, which determines the superstructure!

Technological innovation will bring about changes in social forces.

This truth has been summed up by countless elites of mankind and then written into textbooks.

In a word, it is often condensed by thousands of years of civilization changes!

Therefore, what Yingchen wants to do next is to let books and knowledge enter thousands of households.

Therefore, the sons of a hundred schools of thought count.

The time is on Yingchen's side.

When tens of millions of people in Daqin were literate.

There are hundreds of schools, but they are just chickens and dogs!

These things, Yingchen stood on the shoulders of giants, so he could see them clearly.

So all along, every step of Yingchen has been very steady, but there is no strength to compete.

Just like now, in less than a year, Great Qin has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The promotion of the three treasures of grain will increase the grain output of Daqin by ten times this year!

The promotion of the quyuan plough will allow the people to reclaim more wasteland.

It is foreseeable that in less than three years at most, the entire Great Qin will enter the peak of the ancient prosperous era.

The grain warehouse is full, the people are rich, the country is rich and strong, and the combat power is unparalleled!

With this alone, Yingchen will inevitably be admired and worshiped by countless descendants for thousands of years!

However, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is already the ultimate achievement, and for Yingchen, it is just the beginning.

Everything, wait and see!
