Chapter 51 Video of Ancient Times - Traveling through the Qin Dynasty to Become Lü Zhi 3
As luck would have it, the video on the screen showed the Four Great Inventions. He suddenly had an idea and pointed at the screen and said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, I know how to make the four great inventions on the sky screen. I also know the formulas for cement, steel, and glass. I can lead my team to make all of these things."
When the First Emperor heard this, he thought it was quite useful.
Printing technology was briefly introduced on the sky screen before, but the current Qin Dynasty did not even have the kind of paper that was used in later generations, so printing technology was of little use to the Qin Dynasty.
If this kid could really come up with all four great inventions, that would be great, and the Qin Dynasty would make a huge progress.
"Then you should work with the Mo family and get all the information you know out as soon as possible. I am waiting to see the finished product."
Then he turned to look at Lü Zhi and said, "Since you are a doctor, you will be responsible for my health and pass on your medical skills to the doctors of Daqin."
The First Emperor walked to the head of the table and sat down. "You all will temporarily reside in Xianyang Palace. Whether you are truly useful or not will depend on your future performance. If you succeed in carrying out what you said, I will reward you handsomely. If you fail, don't blame me for being cruel."
The other ministers did not say anything more. What else could they say? His Majesty's attitude was very clear. Those who were useful would be kept, and those who were useless would be killed - their heads would be moved off. He would never keep anyone who lived off the land.
So, let's get to work quickly. This can't just be said to those few people. They'd better show their abilities and not give Your Majesty the chance to chop off their heads.
The video on the skylight was still playing. Liu Bang and the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty had been taken away and started working.
As for Lu Zhi, since her mission included taking care of the health of the First Emperor, she could not leave yet. She had to wait until the First Emperor was done with his work and then take his pulse first.
She actually wanted to leave quickly because the people in this hall were too arrogant!
While listening to what Tianmu said, he would stand up and watch carefully when he heard something useful. At the same time, he was still handling official business and was reluctant to waste any extra time.
At this moment, the words "Down with the Kong family shop, rescue Confucius" were played on the sky screen.
The First Emperor said nothing, just glanced at Fusu, but with just this one look, Fusu seemed to have understood a lot.
He quickly put down the work in his hands and looked at the sky carefully.
Tianmu criticized Confucianism from the very beginning for hindering the development of feudal society, saying that it was the key to the downfall of the dynasty, giving people the impression that Confucianism was pedantic and useless.
Fusu was very angry and couldn't understand how these people could slander the saint?
Later, when he saw that Confucianism served the imperial power and the aristocratic families, and that the core of Confucianism was constantly being modified, he realized that Confucianism in later generations had been changed beyond recognition.
Any doctrine, once it serves a specific group, will no longer be fair. Anything will become corrupted once it is tainted with interests. No wonder Confucianism was unpopular in later generations.
Fusu was heartbroken when he saw that the words "A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but women and villains are difficult to raise" were changed beyond recognition and taken out of context by the literati.
He finally understood that there was nothing wrong with Confucius's teachings, but they were arbitrarily modified by later scholars.
When he saw the freedom and equality pursued by later students, Fusu fell into deep thought again.
After the video ended, the First Emperor glanced at Fusu and saw that he was still thinking. He then turned to ask Lü Zhi, who was sitting idle beside him, "What do you think of the Confucian and Legalist schools of governance?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall raised their heads and looked at Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi cursed in her heart, is this something that can be said casually?
You are the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and you asked the powerful queen of the Han Dynasty who will overthrow your dynasty in the future how she would govern the country. Tell me how you came up with this trick.
You are forcing people to die. Why don't you just chop off their heads? This is too torturous.
But since they asked me, I couldn’t help but answer, otherwise I would really want to die.
She might as well have just gone to work as a laborer like Liu Bang and the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty. At least she wouldn't have had these troubles.
I hope the First Emperor still remembers that she is not the real Lu Zhi.
Sigh... I wish it was worn by someone else, this identity is really too sensitive.
Seeing her hesitation, the First Emperor said, "Do you need to think so long? I have noticed that in the future, you all say whatever you want to say. Just say it directly, and I will forgive you."
After hearing this, Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the First Emperor still remembered her as his soul from the future.
She felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden. Although she didn't know whether this "I'm sorry" would work, she wouldn't get angry immediately.
"Speaking of Confucianism and Legalism, they each have their own merits. If I had to rank them, I couldn't, but when it comes to governing a country...
I've never been in power, so I don't know which one is better.
I can tell you some of the later versions of the story.
Later generations actually don’t quite understand why they have to be so concerned about which doctrine to use to govern the country?
They can obviously be used together, and I think later countries also used them together.
You see, use Confucianism to educate the people, and if they don’t obey, use Legalism to punish them.
There is no need to kill everyone. Looking at the sky, both the farmers and the Mohists have a lot of work to do. They are all free labor.
If people in the future break the law, they will be sentenced to a certain number of years in prison according to the law and then work for the country.
I'm so tired every day, how can I have the time to think about anything messy?
After serving their sentences, they continue their Confucian education and gradually become obedient, otherwise they would be working for the country in vain.
For those who refuse to change despite repeated warnings and even gather together to resist, it is time for military strategists to take action.
Those who are obedient will have a good life given by the state, while those who are disobedient will be beheaded.
Holding the silver in his left hand and the big knife in his right hand, he attacked at the same time.
As an emperor, who cares which family it is from? Just use whichever one is more useful. Why must we use only one? Wouldn’t it be better to use them together? They can also check and balance each other.”
Since the First Emperor has spoken, we must say a few words.
It’s not clear what they saw in the video before, but the mainstream opinions online should be similar to what she said.
If they had seen relevant content before, then there would be nothing wrong with what she said. After all, that's what people said later, so she was being truthful and not making it up.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t get it. The sky screen is there every day. Ancient novels of this kind will have some content about this. The one I read yesterday also had it.
As long as she can save her life today, if she sees something similar to what she said in the future, it will mean that future generations really think so, and her life will not be in danger.
But he immediately slid to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, you said you would forgive me. I am just a doctor. How can I know how to govern a country? I just said it, and you just listened to it. Don't take it seriously."
The First Emperor and his ministers: "..."
This is exactly the same as those young people on the sky curtain.
He's a little silly, and his cowardice is very natural and smooth.
Isn't this nonsense? Just pick a modern person, who is still a founding hero of the Han Dynasty, and let him stand in front of the First Emperor to discuss how to govern the country. Do you think his legs will go weak?
Lu Zhi felt that her performance just now was enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life.
At least he said what he wanted to say. Although he slid to his knees very quickly, he can still be considered a warrior.
But if you ask her if she would like to do it again next time, she will definitely say that only a fool would continue.
After she finished taking the First Emperor's pulse, she quickly found a place to organize her medical teaching plans, and she would not come out no matter who called her.
It's so scary. If it happens too many times, I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack.
