In Chu, Lin Jiang

of Wuyuan did not retaliate against those nobles. Revenge was a low-level trick and also a trap. Once Lin Jiang took action, unless he killed all the nobles of Chu, he would intensify the conflict and force the King of Chu to take sides.

Needless to say, the King of Chu would definitely stand on the side of the nobles. Lin Jiang did not have such a big interest now, and it was not so important.

Lin Jiang just found Zhang Baolin and told him that Lin Jiang was willing to secretly train three martial saints for Zhang in exchange for Zhang's support, and when Zhang was in trouble, Lin Jiang himself was willing to take action and stand on Zhang's side.

Zhang's reply was very fast, and he completely agreed to any request of Lin Jiang. What did the death of other nobles have to do with them? Zhang just had to ensure that they could live forever. Three martial saints were enough to ensure that Zhang would not have any threats in a hundred years.

As time passed, Lin Jiang began to receive many replies, from all over the place. These replies included scolding Lin Jiang, supporting Lin Jiang, and discussing the situation with Lin Jiang to make up for some defects in Lin Jiang's theories.

Lin Jiang would carefully read all the replies, even if they were just insults, he would reply to them again. Of course, when it comes to insults, Lin Jiang felt that he would not be worse than these people.

The printing workshop was established again, and the technology recovered quickly. This time, Zhang provided protection, and a large number of pamphlets began to spread everywhere.

In fact, the influence of Lin Jiang's theories was greater than Lin Jiang imagined. In this era, there are many people who are not appreciated for their talents, the real ones, not those who are high-minded and low-skilled. They are trapped in depression and dissatisfied with their situation, but they can't find the direction of struggle.

It is Lin Jiang's theory that gives them a beacon, let them know what to do, guide them how to fight, and give them the courage to say no to reality.

Qiu Zhong came to Chu State. He came for Lin Jiang, or for Mr. Guigu.

A few years ago, Qiu Zhong listened to Lin Jiang's instructions and set out from the mountain village of Qin State, traveled thousands of miles, read thousands of books, traveled all the way, lectured all the way, and visited famous people all the way.

At first, it was very difficult, especially for those celebrities, who didn't know who Qiu Zhong was, and couldn't even get in the door, let alone meet and discuss with him.

So Qiu Zhong could only look down, looking at the civilian class and even the slave class. Wherever he went, he would give lectures in the crowd, teach people to read and write, and promote his own ideas.

As more and more people followed him, Qiu Zhong's fame became more and more famous. With his fame, some celebrities also began to meet Qiu Zhong, thus forming a virtuous circle.

During the years of study, Qiu Zhong also gradually improved his theory. He put forward many ideas, such as benevolence, advocating monarchs, nobles should have benevolence, benevolence for all people, parents should have benevolence for their children, and so on.

He also advocated etiquette, but this etiquette was not ritual music, but a kind of order. He believed that everyone had different roles in this world, and everyone had to do what this role should do.

For example, noble ministers must be loyal to the monarch and obedient to all people, warriors must practice martial arts diligently, kill enemies and serve the country, craftsmen must hone their skills, and everyone must follow their own order.

At the same time, he advocated that everyone should improve their own quality, cultivate themselves and manage their families, and do not impose on others what you do not want others to do to you.

These ideas have won the support of a large number of grassroots people, and there are many followers. Some people have been running around for Qiu Zhong to promote Qiu Zhong's ideas. He himself has dozens of followers around him all year round, including some small nobles.

Qiu Zhong, who was gaining momentum, heard that there were great talents in Chu State, and also read Lin Jiang's new ideas. Some of his theories coincided with his own, so he came from other places.

Lin Jiang learned that Qiu Zhong had arrived and sent a visiting card. Lin Jiang agreed to meet him, not in private, but on the playground of the martial arts academy, which instantly attracted the whole martial arts academy to watch.

There is no doubt that the disciples of the martial arts academy are the most passionate group in a feudal country. They are young, ambitious, and passionate. The Chu State Martial Arts Academy is actually the place where Lin Jiang has the most support in Chu State.

Lin Jiang and Qiu Zhong sat opposite each other under the onlookers of thousands of people, discussing their respective ideas. Lin Jiang was more of a legalist.

The set of magic and power he expounded was similar to what he advocated in Qin State, while Qiu Zhong's was his own opinion.

Lin Jiang agreed with some of Qiu Zhong's opinions and was willing to help him improve some Confucian theories. The culture of Xia State was created by Lin Jiang, and he himself was also influenced by Confucian culture. After all, who among the young people of Blue Star China has not accepted Confucianism?

For example, Lin Jiang agreed with Qiu Zhongli's part, but he felt that the theory was not solid enough and not flexible enough. Everyone should be loyal to their own identity, but they also advocated that identities can be changed. Slaves cannot always be slaves, and craftsmen cannot always be craftsmen.

Qiu Zhong was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Jiang's theory of great unification. Great unification means war, and war means destruction and ruin. Qiu Zhong felt that other ways could be used to solve the contradictions in reality, such as reviving the majesty of the Xia monarch and restoring the situation hundreds of years ago.

Qiu Zhong's own values ​​have been formed, and neither side can convince the other, but this is not the point. The point is that the thousands of bystanders can fully feel the charm of ideas, stimulate their dissatisfaction with reality, and let them start to have the habit of independent thinking. This is the biggest gain.

The debate between Lin Jiang and Qiu Zhong lasted for more than half a month. After the end, Lin Jiang persuaded Chu Tiange to let Qiu Zhong teach at the Chu State Martial Arts Academy.

The Wuyuan was not a place for practicing martial arts since its establishment. Lin Jiang always believed that talents should be both civil and military, so the Wuyuan also had some cultural courses, but these courses were not taken seriously, so Qiu Zhong became a teacher of the Wuyuan of Chu State.

Qiu Zhong's teaching level was higher than Lin Jiang's. In just a few days, he won the love of the Wuyuan disciples. Many people listened to his classes, and Lin Jiang would also teach Qiu Zhong some martial arts. Qiu

Zhong's ancestors were nobles and had family martial arts, but his martial arts were not high. Lin

Jiang hoped that he would have some self-protection ability, after all, he would inevitably have to convince others with virtue in the future. The debate between Lin Jiang and Qiu Zhong was sorted out, compiled into a book, and then printed. It was soon publicized. For a time, the paper was expensive in Chu, and countless people rushed to read it.

As the news spread further, it triggered a wave of people from other countries to come to the Wuyuan to discuss. The contention of a hundred schools of thought finally reached a certain scale.

······

"Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, what I have learned is the integration of the three religions, but I don't like certain religions, I only take their essence, how should Taoism be promoted?"

In his spare time, Lin Jiang thought again, Confucianism, he must vigorously promote it, before it was castrated, Confucianism was undoubtedly the most advanced thought, on horseback to govern the army, on horseback to pacify the people, for a long time has been the ultimate goal of many people with lofty ideals, Confucianism has a strong fighting power.

And Taoism also has a great role, deeply affecting Chinese civilization, but it is just Lin Jiang's personal preference, he doesn't like certain religions too much, but he doesn't deny that they also have essence.

"Find an opportunity to print the Tao Te Ching, and then use Li Boyang's vest to spread it to the world, and then get Sun Tzu's Art of War out, then this time the mission of awakening will be accomplished, and finally go to Qingzhou, and then you can continue to sleep."

Lin Jiang hesitated for a long time, feeling that he had interfered with almost everything. If a civilization wants to be strong, it cannot take shortcuts. The connotation of civilization cannot be represented by just a few words. There must be a real process. For example, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is useless. Someone must do it, and even pay a huge price for it, in order to show that this spirit is precious.

As for those allusions, it is the same. Without real things happening, how can the preciousness and authenticity of these allusions be injected into a civilization? After

adjusting his thinking, Lin Jiang immediately made changes, began to converge his edge, and concentrated on teaching his disciples to practice martial arts.

As time passed, Lin Jiang's second martial arts grandmaster's disciple in the Chu State Martial Arts Academy also broke through to the Martial Saint, which made Lin Jiang's reputation rise to a higher level.

Lin Jiang also seriously supported Zhang. After all, Lin Jiang was not a selfless person. Zhang was a descendant of Zhang Ran, and he had a long history with him, so he naturally had to take care of him.

In this way, the fifth year in Chu State passed. Lin Jiang left without saying goodbye one morning, but Lin Jiang left a lot of things. He left all his property to Qiu Zhong, and asked him to recruit disciples. He was still short of 3,000 disciples. He also left Tao Te Ching and Sun Tzu's Art of War in the martial arts academy. Lin Jiang also printed hundreds of copies of these. After

leaving Chu State, Lin Jiang traveled to various countries and spread the printed Tao Te Ching and Sun Tzu's Art of War. Then he went directly north and came to the south bank of Qingjiang River again. At this time, Qingjiang River was in the midst of a fierce battle.
