Chapter 353

After Su Xuan and Ying Zheng praised the Mohist School.

Looking at the paper in his hand, Su Xuan said again, "This thing should be promoted to the world immediately!"

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan, curious why he would say such words.

Su Xuan explained, "Once this thing comes out, officials everywhere will no longer need to use heavy wooden slips and bamboo slips to record official documents, which can effectively improve administrative efficiency. At the same time, it is also beneficial to the spread of culture in the world."

"Besides this, this thing is also the most helpful to a certain school among the Hundred Schools of Thought!"

Ying Zheng's eyebrows raised slightly when he heard this.

"What Mr. Su is talking about is?"

Su Xuan said in a deep voice, "The prominent schools of the world are none other than Confucianism and Mohism!"

"These two schools have never been on good terms. If the Confucianists knew that the paper that is conducive to the spread of Confucianism actually came from the hands of the Mohist School, I don't know what kind of thoughts they would have."

Ying Zheng also understood which school Su Xuan was talking about.

"Indeed, if this thing spreads, it will be of great help to Confucianism!"

Confucianism and Mohism were the two prominent schools of the time. The Mohist School had already defected to Qin and was used by Qin. If Ying Zheng had no thoughts about the remaining prominent school, Confucianism, it was clearly impossible.

Confucianism had an extremely wide influence in the world.

If the influence of the Mohist School was more concentrated among the lowest-level people, among the common people, then the influence of Confucianism was concentrated among the upper-level scholars of the world.

There were many scholars from Confucianism.

This was also related to Confucianism's vigorous running of private schools. In this era, there were not many people who had read books and knew characters, and the other schools of the Hundred Schools of Thought did not have the tradition of running private schools. Since Confucius, Confucianism had the habit of running private schools. Even if the private schools could not teach many students, over time, they still cultivated many scholars from Confucianism.

Not to mention anything else, the teacher-brother pair of Han Fei and Li Si, who were serving in Qin and were valued by Ying Zheng, were from Confucianism.

However, although they were from Confucianism, the theories of these two were both well-deserved "Legalist" theories, which made Ying Zheng have great interest in their teacher, the contemporary sage of Confucianism, Does Xun Zi.

What kind of teacher could teach two Legalist disciples?

"If I remember correctly, Confucianism is extremely prosperous in the land of Qi and Lu. The holy land of Confucianism, the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor, is located in Sanghai City, a small city on the coast of Qi!"

Ying Zheng thought for a while and mentioned one thing.

Su Xuan nodded, "Yes!"

Sanghai City could also be considered an extremely important place in the original story. From the end of the third part to the second half of the fifth part, all the plots happened in this small city.

"The State of Chu has been destroyed. Of the six states of Shandong, only the State of Qi remains. Perhaps we can use this thing to win over the hearts of Confucianism. If we have the help of Confucianism, it will be much easier for Qin to destroy the State of Qi!"

The destruction of Qi that Ying Zheng mentioned was not the literal destruction, but had another deep meaning, referring to the hearts of the people of Qi.

For Qin, using tough means to destroy Qi was an easy thing.

But destroying Qi was easy, and wanting to change the hearts of the people of Qi was an extremely difficult thing.

When Qin began to conquer the six states, Ying Zheng tried to destroy the states while winning over the hearts of the people of the various states, making them sincerely used by Qin, forgetting their old states, and becoming the people of Qin.

Except for the State of Han, which was the most successful in winning over hearts because of natural disasters, the subsequent states were not very smooth, but Ying Zheng never changed his idea of winning over the hearts of the people of the various states.

Now, facing the only remaining State of Qi, he had a new idea.

Could he use the influence of Confucianism in the land of Qi and Lu to win over hearts?

Su Xuan heard the meaning in Ying Zheng's words and said in a deep voice, "To win over Confucianism, the most important thing is the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor. The Little Sage and Virtuous Manor is the holy land of Confucianism, and their manor master is respected as the head of Confucianism. His words have great weight within Confucianism. Besides this, there is also Does Xun Zi who lives in seclusion in the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor. His status in Confucianism is also unusual!"

"It can be said that the head of Confucianism and Does Xun Zi, the contemporary sage of Confucianism, are the two key figures who determine the attitude of Confucianism!"

Ying Zheng's eyebrows raised and then relaxed, "Indeed, even if we can win over some Confucian hearts with paper, the real people who can influence Confucianism are the head of Confucianism and Does Xun Zi!"

Su Xuan gave a suggestion, "Perhaps we can start with Li Si and Han Fei!"

"Li Si and Han Fei?"

After Ying Zheng heard the candidates proposed by Su Xuan, he thought for a while and knew the meaning.

These two were disciples of Does Xun Zi.

They could use them to play the teacher-student card.

After secretly keeping this matter in mind, Ying Zheng was also somewhat emotional.

It could only be said that Mr. Su was indeed Mr. Su.

Today Mr. Su came here, and he was just prepared to let Su Xuan see the paper newly manufactured by the Mohist School, because according to Leader Liuzhi Liuzhi Heixia, the birth of this thing had a great relationship with Su Xuan.

As a result, while chatting, Su Xuan used paper as a lead, and then extended the matter to winning over Confucianism. As long as Confucianism was won over, he could use the influence of Confucianism to influence Qi.

It could only be said that Su Xuan could always give him some surprises.

No longer discussing the matter of paper, Ying Zheng said to Su Xuan again, "Mr. Su has not come to this Zhangtai Palace for a long time. It just so happens that I have made a lot of progress in cultivation during this period, and I have some questions that I need to ask Mr. Su!"

Since he learned from Su Xuan that cultivation could prolong life and lead to immortality, and the battle in Daliang City, where Su Xuan revealed unprecedented strength, Ying Zheng became more and more concerned about cultivation.

To be realistic, he also longed to become a person like Su Xuan and possess that kind of strength.

Su Xuan said softly, "This matter is not urgent. Before this, I have a new cultivation method that I am prepared to give to Your Majesty. Whether Your Majesty is willing to cultivate it, we will talk about it after you have seen it!"

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng was a little curious.

Immediately, he saw a scroll appear in Su Xuan's hand.

Su Xuan handed it to Ying Zheng.

After Ying Zheng took the scroll, he did not hesitate and opened it directly.

Just by looking at the opening, Ying Zheng felt an unusual artistic conception.

"Numbers have nine, five is in the center, like a peak, at its summit. It has a prosperous trend, neither leaning nor leaning. The nine-five is high in position but not arrogant, with the virtue of humility, which is the meaning of great harmony..."
