Chapter 2524 Stone Wood Human Head
In the later generations where Fei Qian lived, one would often hear a sentence called "material and spiritual", which must be grasped and hardened. Unfortunately, this is the conclusion drawn by the Chinese people after learning from the pain, and it is still the same in later generations. Some people will forget, not to mention the time period when they are still in Dahan. Most people are not very clear about the concept of "material and spiritual", let alone its extension...
Fei''s potential translation office allowed Guo Tu to focus on collecting, sorting out and translating the books of "Many Men", that is, Aristotle''s books, in addition to collecting relevant materials on the Western Regions.
Maybe it smells like a foreign monk, but it''s actually because during the three or four hundred years of the Great Han Dynasty, the original Chinese materialistic seedlings have been destroyed, died, or parasitized in other places, just like a If you want to repair a dilapidated house, it is better to tear it down and rebuild it.
Aristotle’s relevant literature is undoubtedly the most solid foundation for this new house.
Because any scientific research, whether it is natural science or social science, always obtains unknown knowledge based on the known, so how to correctly reveal the unknown from the known is the research category of logic.
The birth of Aristotle’s logic, on the one hand, was derived from the well-developed debate in ancient Greece, and on the other hand, it directly came from the most popular geometry at that time. His discussion on scientific proof was abstracted from the proof of geometry , And because of this, Aristotle''s logical deduction system is inherently rigorous and reliable in mathematics.
Ancient Greece, ancient India, and ancient China all developed the seeds of materialism, debate, and logic at almost the same time period, but the seeds of ancient India eventually grew into Buddhism, while the seeds of China grew up at the beginning. Suppressed by the rulers and torn apart...
For human society, the more important significance of Aristotle’s logic is that it opens up a new way for us to know the truth different from epistemology, that is, we can also obtain the truth knowledge of the unknown field through logic, This is undoubtedly a more objective, less controversial, easier to understand, and easier to inherit method of understanding, and it is also the basis for the establishment of a scientific system.
As for the Chinese civilization, it was precisely because of the lack of logic that the entire feudal dynasty in the late Chinese period fell into ambiguity and sophistry. It is often reduced to empty talk, and as soon as something happens, it becomes rule of man, and the sense of trust between top, bottom, left, and right is almost zero.
The simplest example is like someone saying "a small amount is not a gentleman" in front of others, then turning around and muttering "non-toxic and not a husband"; He turned his head and said to the person behind his **** not to climb, because "the heights are too cold".
This kind of severe schizophrenia is the chronic disease of lack of overall logic. Behavioral logic is in a state of yin and yang that can be split anytime and anywhere, and cannot be unified. Therefore, in later generations, there is still the theory that the victim is guilty, and there is still a slap in the face. When you are taking advantage, you should give priority to what, but when you are suffering, it means that others should carry forward their style.
It is precisely because there is no logic that Huaxia''s subsequent social concepts are so vague about right and wrong.
Whether it is social science or natural science, if you want to pursue the truth, you must be objective and rigorous, and eliminate all subjective interference, and you must not be sloppy.
This is why after hundreds of schools of civilization in China, there are no more schools of thought.
Because only idealism is left.
After the splendor, only withering remains.
Deposing a hundred schools of thought, killing Xunzi''s materialism, kills objectivity, respects only Confucianism, buries Mozi''s logic theory, and also buries rigor!
What? Law? That is to serve the emperor, not to mention idealism, they are only emperors.
This time, Qinglong Temple discussion, can it stimulate the materialism in China again?
In fact, there is an ironic fact that Mozi had already established a similar logical system decades before Aristotle. In "Mozi", the "Mo Jing" composed of six expositions is different from other chapters in nature. Its main content is not political ethics theory, but scientific definitions and theories, which can make people establish correct point of view, to refute a false point of view.
Of course, Mozi failed in the end, not because of logical materialism, but because he opposed the ruler. This is a problem with Huang Lao, but any society where rulers exist will not allow such a theory to spread .
Like Aristotle who only talks about logic, it can be preserved, and it can even be introduced into Christian theories later...
After modern Western thoughts surged to China in later generations, Liang Hu and other scholars used Western scientific methods to study the "Mo Jing", so that the world could understand how advanced the logic and scientific thinking of our ancestors were in the world at that time.
But at that time, is it useful to feel advanced and sad about the age?
Might as well do it now.
A little bit is considered a little bit.
Stones from other mountains can attack jade, and jade from other mountains can also attack stones.
Whether it is stone or wood, as long as it can knock people''s heads, it is good.
Fei Qian had been thinking about this issue before, and obviously, if Fei Qian wanted to re-establish the brand name of Mozi or Xunzi, the Confucian children would definitely refuse to do it and would object, and then entered the Confucian children''s favorite place. During the link, he was also the ancestor of the later generations of Gang Jing, who opposed it purely for the sake of opposition, and didn''t even know what he was objecting to!
So instead of reopening and repairing the dilapidated houses of Mozi and Xunzi, it is better to find an excuse to let these Confucian scholars go to the houses destroyed by their ancestors to clean up and build a new foundation of materialist logic and dialectics.
Of course, Fei Qian also knows that Confucianism has already accumulated deep habits, and the overall concept of students cannot be changed suddenly due to the impact of some aspects. This still needs a process.
What Fei Qian is doing now is to speed up this process.
Like a catalyst.
Of course, it will take time from collection to translation, and then to publication to influence the scholars of the gentry. Fei Qian estimates that it will take at least three years. In the process of Qinglong Temple''s great discussion, some hooks were buried first, and the boy slowly pulled it to wait for time.
This hook is industry.
Of course, for the current big man, these industries may be said to be the proof of "science" in some aspects.
This is not a temporary idea, in fact, Fei Qian has long wanted to do this.
To develop agricultural industry, what is needed is strict prohibition, logic, and materialism, not a few, a few, and approximately.
Agriculture is relatively better, but during this period of time, the contradictions in industry have become somewhat obvious.
On the one hand, with the rapid development of the commodity economy in Guanzhong Sanfu and the increase in population, both agriculture and industry have more and higher production and quality requirements. On the other hand, with the With the complexity and refinement of craftsmanship, the requirements for industrial workers are also increasing, and the value of the pure coolie brute force is declining.
Therefore, the demand for professional and specialized craftsmen, or "workers" in the industry is naturally increasing. However, the traditional mentoring method is not only slow and inefficient for a long time, but also sometimes It cannot keep up with the speed of technological development, and it is far from meeting the industry''s demand for skilled workers.
At the same time, the wars in the Han, Shandong, and Shanxi, the influx of refugees, and the replenishment of slave labor in Longxi, Longyou, and the Western Regions made the cheap and heavy coolies more and more unrewarded.
However, in the densely populated areas of Guanzhong Sanfu, the cultivated land is relatively limited and cannot accommodate so many laborers. Therefore, the development of industry has been promoted, so that industrial workshops can accommodate more industrial workers, which is after Fiji has stabilized agriculture. , must take a new step forward.
You can’t build a latrine until the **** is coming, right?
After the stability of the environment and the basic food and clothing, there will inevitably be a large number of new population, coupled with the influx of a large number of poor and refugees from other places, it will inevitably bring about a series of social problems.
And this problem, including Pang Tong, Xun You, and even other first-class counselors, is difficult to estimate and predict, and only people like Fei Qian who have a lot of experience in later generations can deduce future changes and make corresponding targeted actions move.
Because I don’t have any skills, I can only do the most basic physical labor. With such an income, I may be able to survive in Guanzhong Sansuke before, but as time goes by, this kind of labor that relies solely on physical strength will become more and more difficult. provide for the family.
Also in the weaving workshop, the small workers who are only engaged in carrying, carrying water, and treadmills are paid differently from skilled weavers or satin workers.
Even in brick factories or smelters where coolies are most needed, the income of those who are responsible for handling, fanning, and staring at the fire is far behind that of workers in loading, pouring, and smelting.
This gap is sometimes even more than ten times.
Under such circumstances, on the one hand, Fei Qian needs to expand production, and on the other hand, most craftsmen have the concern of teaching apprentices to starve to death of the master, so that it is difficult to keep up with the master-apprentice model of hiding one hand and short pieces. the needs of industrial development.
In an industry with a relatively small market, teaching the apprentice will indeed starve the master to death. But now Fei Qian wants to spread the industry from Guanzhong to form a center with three support points in Sichuan, Shu, East and Longxi. It will naturally be very troublesome to continue to use the old model.
Instead of conquering the outdated concepts in the minds of these craftsmen and dispelling their so-called "starving the master" concerns, it is as unrealistic as trying to revive Mozi and Xunzi among Confucian scholars at the moment.
It''s like when a small group of officials are obedient and violating, it is naturally the problem of this small group of officials, but if it is scholars or craftsmen all over the world, or ordinary people more broadly, they are all obedient and vicious. It''s not a common problem to say that they are all moral and actually do whatever they can for money.
Does Fei Qian need to stand against all Confucian students?
unnecessary.
Fei Qian found an "enemy" for these Confucian students, so now Fei Qian also found another "enemy" for these craftsmen.
Whether it is a stone from another mountain or a jade from another mountain, they all have one goal and achieve one effect.
Leaving Baling, crossing the Wei River and heading north, Feiqian went to Maoling.
The so-called Wulingyuan in Chang''an actually has the Eleven Tombs. This is common sense.
The two mausoleums are in the south of the Wei River, and the rest are in the north of the Wei River.
Mao Mausoleum is the largest, but the tree attracts the wind, and the tomb attracts thieves. Maoling was stolen not once or twice, and even the army excavated it on a large scale at least twice. The most recent one was done by Lu Bu.
So the situation in Maoling was actually very bad when Fei Qian took over Chang''an.
Maoling was very prosperous at first, but in economic geography, there is a term called disintegrating recession, which means that when a region develops to a certain extent, it will begin to decline due to the destruction of the environment and resources, while Maoling, It is a typical case of this kind of deconcentration decline, and even Chang''an City has embarked on such a road in history.
Hundreds of years later, Chang''an in the Tang Dynasty declined like this, and then couldn''t stand up again.
Fortunately, Changan met Fei Qian, which turned a corner from the road of decline.
Looking from Feiqian, you can still see a lot of trees on the surrounding mountains and forests, but these early fern-dominated woodlands will soon degrade and die under the double attack of human nature.
So the key point is still to improve technology and move forward.
The improvement of the stove improves the combustion efficiency and saves fuel.
The improvement of fuel, the briquette transformed from coal, has greatly reduced the amount of wood felled for heating in winter.
Improvement of water conservancy, dredging silt, increasing the irrigated area, improving the fertility of the field, and increasing the yield per mu.
The improvement of Zhuanghe...
Instead of blindly chopping, burning, burning.
Otherwise, even the rich and advanced three hundred miles of Qinchuan, as long as it stops moving, it will definitely be over. How long did it take from the former Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty? In the early millennium, he was tossed and devastated, and he no longer had the arrogance to dominate the world.
Technology is very important, but if you want to develop technology, you can''t just be idealistic, but also materialistic...
Thoughts were running all the way, and before I knew it, I arrived outside Maoling.
Seeing that it was Feiqian''s banner, the guards outside Maoling hurriedly opened the middle door, and then directed all the pedestrians around to evade.
Fei Qian was not polite, just nodded slightly, and drove straight in.
Entering Maoling City, to the east, earth-shaking changes have taken place here.
It used to be dilapidated and crowded, with potholes on the ground. If it rains, the ground will be muddy and there is no way to plug in.
Fei Qian didn’t know where he saw a saying that if most of the citizens in a country start to behave poorly, the country should not think too much about it.
Not long after Fei Qian arrived in Chang''an, the mausoleum was ruined.
The road is broken, and no one is repairing it.
The wall has collapsed, and no one is going to take care of it.
Refugees defecate and pee directly on the road, even in the ditch...
Not to mention the Maoling that was excavated at that time, there are yellow and black holes, and the yellow mud is flowing, like a pus wound.
The more broken it is, the more rotten it is, the more rotten it is.
Broken window effect? ??Anyway, everyone else is broken, and I don’t care if I’m one more.
But now, under Feiqian''s feet is a road paved with gravel and earthen cement. Even if it pours, the road can basically remain free of water.
On both sides of the street, most of them are rebuilt buildings. The ones along the street are basically on the second floor, and some are on the third floor, and there are fewer four-story buildings. One is due to the imperfection of architectural technology, and the other is the reason for the safety factor. It is not the safety factor of the building, but the safety factor of the defense system. A four-story building is enough to cover a large area. If there are criminals who climb to the top and shoot down from the top, it will be a very troublesome thing.
In addition to the shops along the street, there are small courtyards in the alleys.
Mulberry trees, locust trees, willow trees, laurel trees, plum trees, peach trees, etc. are staggered around the alleys and courtyards. In the thick atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, there are also some delicate and exquisite.
This is of course Fei Qian''s handwriting.
Only those who have seen the garden design of taking the big from the small in the south of the Yangtze River, and one step at a time, will change the heads of these big Han people. Otherwise, if they follow the original design drawings of the big Han officials, they will cross a street and vertical avenue, with staggered grids. Inside is Lifang. There is not even any green land left, fire isolation zone, etc. In the end, a few large water tanks are temporarily added, and people are always watching, fearing that they will be smashed by others, or some bear children will fall into the tank by themselves. inside.
After all, not everyone is Sima Guang. If the family has money, they are not afraid of losing money.
Maoling housing prices are not low.
This was even created by Fei Qian.
Such a unique small courtyard, such a novel layout, such complete supporting facilities, the surrounding area is a ten-minute living circle...
What is the price? Naturally, hehehe.
Fei Qian came to see the old man Huang Chengyan.
Huang Chengyan hated being disturbed in Chang''an City, so he went to the small courtyard of the Lingyi. Anyway, there are many such Lingyi courtyards in Feiqian''s hands, even like Pingyang City, the entire Lifang belongs to Feiqian. Therefore, money is really not of much significance to Fei Qian, what is more important is how to spend money in useful places.
When Fei Qian arrived, Huang Chengyan was leading two or three master craftsmen in the courtyard, tinkering with a model.
Fei Qian guards habitually march into the hall, occupying a strategic position.
The soldiers who came in suddenly startled Huang Chengyan and others, and they didn''t understand until they saw Fei Qian. The craftsmen hurriedly bowed down, Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, "The hussars are here, why don''t you tell me?" ! So that the old man welcomes me! 』
Fei Qian waved his hands and said, "We are all a family, so don''t be so polite, I told them not to report... What is this?" 』Fei Qian saw the obvious housing community model.
Huang Chengyan shook his sleeves, and after letting those master craftsmen and assistants step down, he said to Fei Qian: "This is the new engineering school..."
With the increase in the number of recruits and the expansion of the scope of enrollment, the College of Agriculture and the College of Engineering are somewhat inadequate and already seem a bit cramped. Naturally, it is necessary to build a larger college, and this time, the College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture will be separated. in two places.
The College of Agriculture will be closer to the area with dense farmland in Chang''an, while the College of Engineering will naturally be close to the Qinling Mountains, near the workshops.
Fei Qian nodded, looked carefully at the model of the Engineering College, and suddenly frowned...
