It was also an era that produced many talented individuals and whose power still lingered.
To be honest, if we look at it from another perspective, Liu Hong in his early historical period was not as bad as historical records portray him.
In comparison, there are very few emperors who were able to ascend the throne at the age of twelve and gain real power. Although there was an element of luck involved, their methods, scheming, and courage should not be underestimated.
It should be noted that in the early years of Emperor Ling of Han's reign, whether it was the maternal relatives, eunuchs, or powerful clans, they were all suppressed to the point of being unable to raise their heads. If he had been determined to carry out reforms and make changes, and if he had handled things properly, he might have been able to earn the title of a restorer of the dynasty.
Perhaps because the mess left by Emperor Huan of Han was simply impossible to clean up, or perhaps for some other reason, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, chose to simply give up and do nothing.
In particular, he favored eunuchs. Because of the slander of a mere eunuch, he was able to dismiss Lu Zhi, the commander of the vanguard, and send him back to be punished. Throughout history, there are very few emperors who could be so muddle-headed, except for the second son of the Zhao family and the war god of the Zhu family.
Perhaps the coincidence of fate is God's arrangement. Liu Hong cannot explain how he came into this world, but he understands the meaning of his coming into this world.
History is always full of regrets, and the late Han Dynasty was an era that produced many heroes and brilliant generals, an era that countless people yearned for, yet also an era that makes people sigh with regret.
If so many talented people could come together, what a sight it would be! Who in the surrounding area could rival them?
Perhaps my arrival is to fill this void!
Thinking of the later chaos of the Five Barbarian Tribes, the Han people in the north were almost wiped out. This was a dark period that no one dared to imagine. The century of war at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, which caused a sharp decline in population, can be said to be one of the main factors that led to all of that.
Nations often perish due to weakness, but the Han dynasty alone perished due to strength!
It is truly regrettable and lamentable that such a powerful military force perished due to internal strife!
Cultivate oneself, regulate one's family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world!
This is a goal that Liu Hong has set for himself, even though his road ahead may be full of difficulties and setbacks.
Having witnessed firsthand the hardships faced by the people around him, Liu Hong always felt it was his duty to do something for them.
Having been given a second chance at life, one should at least make some contribution, shouldn't one?
Although the Marquis's residence was not large, the change in status from being managed to being managed made it difficult for Liu Hong to adapt for a while.
"A scholar is useless!" Liu Hong once regarded the evaluation of himself by later generations as an insult.
But it was only at this moment that Liu Hong understood the meaning of those words. He suddenly realized that he, as a so-called time traveler, was not much better than ordinary people except for knowing more historical figures and knowledge than ordinary people.
As for things like curved plows, refined salt, distilled liquor, papermaking, and so on, Liu Hong thought about it and decided to give them up.
After all, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. As a minor marquis without his father's connections, his ability to create those highly profitable and groundbreaking products on his own is bound to attract attention and bring unnecessary trouble.
Furthermore, those with extraordinary and ingenious skills may be looked down upon by others.
Being half a step ahead makes you a genius; being a full step ahead makes you an outlier.
In ancient times, inventing things recklessly was nothing short of courting death!
Therefore, he wanted to bestow the titles and honors of these inventions upon his subordinates in order to win their loyalty.
The most important thing is to use this to inspire and attract the thinking and research of future generations, and incidentally improve the status of craftsmen. We may not be able to compete with the ancients in terms of intelligence, but it is still feasible to use the vision and knowledge of future generations to build a different kind of technological nation.
This is the right way.
