Chapter 730 The Great Rebellion War Begins

"The people can let it go, but they can't let it know. The truth in the middle is not just talking about it."

On the hillside that day, Zuo Duanyou, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up. At his age, he had seen too many people and things, and even when Ning Yi shouted out the words "survival of the fittest" Neither moved.It was only in his last playful ramble that he felt a strange aura.

Ning Yi, who was sitting there, raised his head, his eyes were as calm as a deep pool, and he looked at the old man.The mountain wind was blowing, and although there were hundreds of people confronting each other, at this moment, it was still peaceful.Ning Yi's words rang out gently.

"My wife's family is a cloth merchant. Since ancient times, people have learned to weave cloth. At first, they simply twisted it by hand. This process lasted for hundreds or thousands of years. Spinning wheels and spindles appeared, and later, some Spinning wheel. From the early years of the Wu Dynasty, the court focused on commerce, and small workshops began to appear to improve looms. Over the past 200 years, the development of looms has increased the efficiency by more than five times compared with the early years of the Wu Dynasty. During this period, the craftsmanship of each household Different, my wife improved the loom and improved the efficiency by about [-]% faster than ordinary weavers and cloth merchants. Later, when I was in the capital, I worked on improving the loom, which took about a year. Now The efficiency of the loom is about ten times higher than that of the early Wu Dynasty. Of course, we are in the mountains and we don’t sell cloth for the time being.”

Zuo Duanyou and Li Pin frowned, saw Ning Yi clasping hands, and continued to speak.

"Watching the operation of all things, we need to study the principles of heaven and earth. There is a hydraulic workshop by the river at the foot of the mountain. It can be connected to the loom. If the manpower is fast enough, the efficiency will be doubled. Of course, the hydraulic workshop already exists, and the cost is not low. Maintenance Repair is a problem. I built several blast furnaces in the mountains to study steel. Under high temperature, steel becomes more and more flexible. Using such steel in workshops can reduce the loss of workshops. We are looking for better lubrication methods. , but at the limit, the same manpower, the same time, the production of fabrics can be increased to thirty to fifty times that of the early years of the Wu Dynasty."

"We have studied the hot air balloon, which is the big Kongming lantern in the sky. With it in the sky, overlooking the whole field. The way of fighting will change. I am the best at using gunpowder. You have seen it buried in the ground. I have seen it in a few years. The improvement in the use of gunpowder exceeds the accumulation of 200 years before the Wu Dynasty, and muskets are still unable to replace bows and arrows, but there may be breakthroughs in three to five years."

"So, manpower is limited and material resources are endless. Is Liheng really a member of the Mo family?" Zuo Duanyou said.

Ning Yi shook his head: "No, just talk about this first. Zuo Gong, you said that the people can let it be, but you can't let it know, this is not a reason. I will tell you this." He said: "I agree with it very much. ."

"This is the principle left by the ancestors, and it is in line with the principle of heaven and earth." Ning Yi said, "If someone understands it, the people can do it. There is no reason for fools to speak. If the world lets all the people speak, the world will only collapse faster. Zuo Gong, you are right."

Zuo Duanyou did not speak.But this is heaven and earth.

"The smart people rule the stupid people. It doesn't talk about human feelings, but only the principle of heaven. When encountering things, smart people know how to analyze, how to find the law, and how to find a way out. Stupid people can't do anything, how can they let them talk event?"

"In ancient times, there were hundreds of schools of thought contending, and naturally there were also people who sympathized with the people, including Confucianism, who taught the world. I hope that one day all people can understand reason, and everyone will be a gentleman. My generation calls themselves literati, what is literati?"

"Cangjie created writing, and recorded the understanding and wisdom of each generation and life in words, and passed it on to future generations. Therefore, human children do not need to grope from scratch. The wisdom of ancestors can be passed on and accumulated from generation to generation, and human beings can build In the forest of all things. The literati are those who pass on wisdom, but can wisdom spread all over the world? For thousands of years, it has not been possible."

"There are not enough books and children's aptitude is poor, and the transmission of wisdom is far more complicated than the transmission of words. Therefore, the wise person holds the power and assists the emperor in governing, but the person who cannot pass on wisdom, farming, working, and serving people, is the world. The embodiment of order. They just need to let it go. If it can't be used, kill it! Really want to know how much trouble it will take in this world! A Taiyuan city, whether to defend or not to fight, how to defend, how to fight, courtroom The princes have been watching for a lifetime and can't see clearly, how to let the common people know about it. This rule is in line with the way of heaven!"

Ning Yi's words were as cold as a stone.Having said this, he fell silent, and when he spoke again, the words became more relaxed.

"For thousands of years, people have found many ways, and this is the only way to go. In these thousands of years, Confucianism and many people in power have set rules. According to these rules, ordinary people, whether they know it or not, do not know it. No matter whether they do it, do it, or not do it, they can’t fix the overall situation. When the rules are set, it will be decided whether they will die innocently when the city of Bianliang is broken. Innocent is just a statement and has no meaning. , this is the rule set by the thing you agree with. If you screw it up, you are pity again, saying how innocent they are, how cold-blooded I am, and how cruel the enemy is. If I die with me, will it not be cold-blooded? ?"

"I'm not here to accuse the two of you. I never want to accuse Confucianism. It's pointless. We often say that doing something wrong has a price. Zhou Zhe can pay for his life. Confucianism is just a concept, only useful. And it's not easy to use. But Confucianism...is a circle..."

His words murmured here, and his voice became lower, Li Pin thought he was a little helpless, but saw Ning Yi pick up a branch and slowly draw a circle on the ground.

"Confucianism is a circle." He said, "Our learning focuses on the seamless integration of heaven, earth and all things. In this circle, everyone who studies Confucianism has been looking for the truth of ordering all things. Since the pre-Qin period, the people still have the spirit of martial arts. By the time of the Han Dynasty, it can only be destroyed by force. If any state in the Han Dynasty is pulled out, the peoples in the surrounding grasslands can be wiped out ten times. The spirit of martial arts gradually died down in the Tang Dynasty. This circle is not easy to go wrong, and it can ensure the long-term stability of the court. Zuo Gong, Li brother, Qin Xiang's several books, there are Confucian principles. "

He looked at the two of them: "The truth in his book can determine the order of all things, and the rulers of heaven and earth, the rulers, ministers and ministers, can clearly understand. You can read this book thoroughly, and then you will know how to make this circle. Go to paint. Anyone who reads these books can know what position they should be in in their life. It is tempting and natural. In this round frame, this is your treasure."

"Qin Xiang is really a genius." With the books still on the table, Ning Yi pushed the two books forward, "Then there is only one question."

"If there are always only internal problems, everyone can live a life of peace and joy, and don't want to ask, it's actually quite good." Shan Feng paused for a moment, Ning Yi shook his head: "But this circle can't solve the problem of foreign aggression. The more orderly everything is, the more the people are castrated, and the more bloodless. Of course, it will deal with it in another way. Foreigners invade and occupy the Central Plains, and then find that only Confucianism can rule this country. The most stable, they began to learn Confucianism and castrated their own blood. To a certain extent, the Han people resisted and recaptured the country. After retaking the country, they began to castrate themselves again, waiting for the next invasion of foreign nations. In this way, the kings are rotated and the Taoist lineage will last forever. , this is the foreseeable future.”

"...What do you want to say?" Li Pin asked in a low voice, looking at the circle.

"Where is your original intention of inheriting wisdom?" Ning Yi asked, "Everyone is a gentleman, which can't be achieved for a while, but what is the possibility? Castrate the blood of the people and go back to the beginning...is the Confucian path gone wrong?"

This is just a simple question, simply ringing on the hillside.There was silence for a moment, Zuo Duanyou said: "You are talking about something that is incomprehensible."

Ning Yi picked up the branch, pointed it in the circle, and drew a long line extending out: "This morning, news came back from outside the mountain that the nine thousand troops of Xiaocanghe came out of the mountain yesterday, and after defeating the thousands of troops in Xixia, Yu Yanzhou Outside the city, they faced off against [-] Xixia soldiers led by Ji La Sele, and defeated them head-on, beheading [-] enemies. According to the original plan, at this time, the army has assembled under the Yanzhou city and began to attack the city!"

"What?" Zuo Duanyou and Li Pin were shocked.

……

Huge and weird balloons floated in the sky, the sky was bright, but the atmosphere in the city was so chilling that the thunder of war could be faintly heard.

On the north side of Yanzhou City, a hunchbacked man in ragged clothes carried his burden and walked on the street under martial law. When he approached the corner of the opposite road, a small group of soldiers from Xixia came on patrol and drew their swords and said something.

Camel has already stepped forward, and the dull knife light has been lifted from both sides of his body and thrown into the crowd, and more figures have jumped out from the vicinity.

Outside the city, [-] Qingqi are detouring towards the North Gate at high speed...

……

"I didn't tell them how much..." Ning Yi was talking on the hillside, "They are under pressure, threatened with life and death, and most importantly, they are fighting for the survival of themselves. When they can fight for themselves How magnificent their lives were, don't you feel moved by the two of you? There are more than just gentlemen in the world who can live like this."

"Brother Li, you say that you pity the innocent people of the world, but your pity is meaningless in the face of the world. Your pity is empty, and the world can't get anything from your pity. My so-called heart is worried about the suffering of all people, I I worry that they can't fight for themselves. I worry that they can't wake up and live. I worry that they are ignorant. I worry that they will be slaughtered like pigs and dogs but can't die bravely. I worry that they will die when they die. pale."

He looked serious and paused for a moment.Li Pin didn't speak, and Zuo Duanyou didn't speak either.Not long after, Ning Yi's voice rang again.

"The Wang family's paper-making and printing workshops have been improved by more than five times compared to two years ago. As long as we explore the principles of heaven and earth, there is still a lot of room for improvement in their efficiency. As I said earlier, these Efficiency is improved because businessmen are greedy, greedy, and wanting to be lazy when they pursue profits, so people will look at these principles and think of many ways. The material resources are infinite, and it has a potential far beyond your imagination, and the so-called enlightenment of the people is the most basic point, first of all, you must let the people have books to read."

Li Pin's eyes widened: "You want to encourage greed!?"

"Greed is good, and the development of things is not something that can be promoted by three or two Confucian scholars in their spare time. It is necessary to mobilize the wisdom of all people. To allow everyone in the world to read, these things still have a long way to go, but Not hopeless."

Ning Yi didn't blink, he stretched out a branch and decorated the line that drew a circle on the ground, "But Confucianism is a circle, and the Wu Dynasty is a circle. The business of the Wu Dynasty continues to develop, and businessmen will seek status. Similarly, think For craftsmen to seek breakthroughs in their skills, craftsmen also need status. But this circle must be orderly, and no major changes will be allowed. If the Wu Dynasty and Confucianism continue to develop, the road will be blocked for the sake of order, but I want to Get this way out."

"When Fang La rebelled, he said that the law is equal and there is no superiority. In short, I will give everyone in the world the same status. Huaxia is the Huaxia of the Chinese people, and everyone has the responsibility of defending the soil and defending it. Everyone has equal rights. From now on, there will be no difference between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.”

"In this way, the circle is no longer in order... I will smash this Confucianism."

Ning Yi's eyes were calm, and his words were always indifferent, but the wind was blowing, and the abyss had begun to appear.

"You..." The old man's voice was like thunder.

"It's outrageous—"

……

Yanzhou City.

The sound of war has begun to shake the walls.North Gate, the amazing fight is expanding.

An elite team of more than 100 people appeared from the city and began to assault the defense line of the city gate.A large number of Xixia soldiers surrounded them from nearby. Outside the city, two thousand light cavalry dismounted at the same time, dragging springs, hooks, and assembled ladders to the city wall.The fierce fighting to the peak lasted for a while, and the blood-soaked warrior opened a gap in the city gate from the inside and pushed it open with all his strength.

In the lanes inside the city gate, countless Xixia soldiers rushed in.Outside the city, the wooden box briefly erected a pontoon bridge, and soldiers of the Black Flag Army with swords, shields, and spears rushed in one by one. In the hysterical shouting, some people pushed the door, and some rushed over, expanding the whirlpool of fighting!
Near the east gate, in the silent army formation, Qu Qing pulled out a steel knife, wrapped the red scarf behind the handle of the knife around his wrist, bit one end with his teeth, and pulled it tight.Behind him, many people are doing the same thing with him.

"get ready--"

People shout.

In the north of the city, soldiers rushed into the city gate...

……

Zuo Duanyou's voice still echoed on the hillside, Ning Yi stood up calmly, his eyes had become indifferent.

"Smashing Confucianism can only be regarded as the first step. But only by smashing it can we promote things and things, so that resources are no longer scarce, and people can understand the truth and blood, and make all people in the world like this small Canghe is like a soldier, no longer innocent. I have no prejudice against Confucianism. I will go my way and let you know. Lao Qin’s mantle and mantle have been given to you, you can go your own way, go to repair, go It’s okay to change it or go to a continuation, as long as it can solve the problem at hand.”

"If you can solve the Jurchen and solve me, maybe you have allowed Confucianism to contain blood, so that people can live like people, I will be very happy. If you can't do it, I will build a new era on the wreckage of Confucianism, Always pay homage to you and others. If we can't do it, then in this world, let the Jurchen step over it again."

On the small hillside, a depressing and icy aura pervaded. This complicated matter did not make people feel impassioned, especially for the two Confucian people.The old man wanted to be angry at first, but now he is no longer angry.Li Pin's eyes were puzzled, including "why did you become so extreme?" However, many years ago, he never knew about Ning Yi.

At that time, the sky was pouring, the wind was blowing and the clouds were blowing.In this small place, a crazy person said crazy things. In a short period of time, there were too many things in his words, and they were straight-forward, even indigestible.At the same time, in Yanzhou City in the northwest, the soldiers with the black-bottomed star flag had rushed into the city, holding their weapons and fighting hard. For this world, their battle was so lonely, they were all killed The world hates people.

And if we look forward from the long river of history, they are also at this moment, they have declared war on the people of the whole world.

When Ning Yi walked outside, Zuo Duanyou said from behind, "If you really plan to do this, you will be the enemy of Confucianists all over the world soon."

"Do you know what's interesting?" Ning Yi turned around, "If you want to beat me, you must at least become like me."

He walked out of the shield formation and glanced at the hundreds of people gathered nearby: "If you can get out of the Xiaocang River, I won't chase and kill you." These hundreds of people already had the idea of ​​death. At this time, some of them Wei Wei was stunned for a while, but Li Pin reacted and shouted from behind: "Don't be tricked—"

Ning Yi stepped out of the crowd and waved:
"--kill!"

Ants hold mud, butterflies flutter; elk drink water, wolves chase; tigers roar in the mountains and forests, people walk in the world.In this vast land for thousands of years, there are some beings that will emit light...

　This chapter was supposed to be the introduction of the entire second half. I had been preparing for a long time, thinking that writing such a thing would be impassioned, but when I really replaced Ning Yi and actually deduced these words, I found that what swept up was actually A huge tiredness.I am afraid that no one can treat it with a state of mind that is neither calm, objective nor trembling.There would have been more to be said, but some were not written.Well, so be it.
