Chapter 415 The Confucian who likes to make trouble
The upsurge of debate about the steam engine even spread to the court.
"This group of Confucian scum, enjoying the benefits of Great Qin's development, doesn't want to contribute to the country. Anyway, they are playing with old and pedantic theories every day, and now even His Royal Highness dare to question it?"
"This Kong Xun really regards his ancestors as sages, and he wants to bet with His Highness the Crown Prince in the name of a sage queen, without looking at his own status or virtues!"
"But after all, Confucianism was the most prominent school in the Great Qin Dynasty in the past. Although it is in decline, it still has hundreds of thousands of disciples, and there are many dignitaries who support it. I'm afraid it's not easy to move!"
"It's not easy to move, in my opinion, His Royal Highness is too soft-hearted towards this group of people!"
"These people should be completely shut up!"
"I, Daqin, have always advocated the spirit of daring to question. Now this steam engine has indeed not been developed yet. It is just an idea. Why can't I say it!"
"Li Lu, what you said just now is clearly a public revenge, and you want to attack and exclude my Confucianism!"
Above the imperial court, a group of speech officials quarreled into a group, and the more they tore apart, the more fierce they were, and there was almost no fight.
On the emperor's throne, Ying Zheng glanced at everyone with a blank expression on his face.
A group of speech officials froze, shut their mouths quickly, and the entire Qilin Hall suddenly fell silent.
It's just that when the eyes met, they were still unconvinced, obviously they didn't intend to really let it go.
"My dear friends, what's your opinion?"
Ying Zheng glanced at the several important ministers sitting in the front row and asked.
"I'm not very good at science and engineering, but His Royal Highness has created many miracles, so I trust His Royal Highness!"
Yao Jia was the first to speak.
"The power of this steam, I went to the kitchen to experience it, it is indeed not small, but if you want to drive the car at a high speed, I am afraid it is not so easy to do."
Feng Jie said cautiously: "So I think that this steam engine can definitely be manufactured, but it may take a long time."
"Although the prospect of the steam engine is very bright, it is too difficult at present. A lot of research and development funds have been burned. Can we temporarily postpone it and wait until the conditions are ripe before continuing the research."
Nestern's old habit of being stingy was repeated, and he muttered softly.
"Nei Shiteng, you can't justify it now. Without the many sharp weapons invented by His Royal Highness, how could our Daqin have the prosperity it is today?"
"The steam engine only cost a million dollars now, and you are simply holding back the development of Daqin!"
Wang Ben suddenly lost his temper.
"That's right, the funds for the scientific research institute and the engineering institute are not paid by the Ministry of Households, but obtained by the authorized patents. On the contrary, they can turn over a lot of income to the Ministry of Households every year!"
"Some time ago, didn't a bicycle patent sell for tens of millions of dollars?"
"Without input, how can there be output?"
"If you have the ability, when the steam engine is developed, don't use it!"
Wang Li and the others also stood up and retorted, clearly expressing their position.
The reason is also very simple. The Daqin Army was originally Ying Yu's confidant, and benefited the most from Ying Yu's side.
Soldiers, who doesn't want the best weapons in their hands?
This is the basis for the soldiers to survive to victory.
Moreover, the steam engine also played a great role in the Great Qin's unification of the world.
Not to mention much, if the steam engine can be used in the excavation of the Suez Canal, it will definitely save a lot of time.
And if Daqin's sea-going ships can also use steam engines, the significance will be even greater.
Nei Shiten was immediately speechless among the tough military bosses on the opposite side, and the rest of the Confucian officials saw this and quickly retracted the questioning words they were about to export.
I was secretly thinking in my heart, if I can't compete in the court, then I will mobilize the folk Confucian students to criticize together.
If Ying Yu doesn't stop it, as long as the steam engine doesn't come out for a day, Confucianism will have enough voices.
And if Ying Yu uses power to interfere, Confucianism also has a set of countermeasures. If it works well, in their opinion, it may not be impossible to regain Daqin's right to speak.
This is the root of Confucianism's turnaround!
Ying Yu, who kept everything in his eyes, couldn't help showing a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He can't wait for these rotten scholars to jump out.
To be honest, Ying Yu respected Confucius himself.
After all, Confucius' educational philosophy was indeed very advanced in the era of Confucius. Otherwise, Confucianism would not have become the most prominent school and continued to influence the Central Plains Dynasty for so many years.
But since Confucius, Confucianism has had a big problem.
No matter how advanced the concept is, if it is not unable to keep pace with the times, it will gradually fall behind or even be buried.
However, the Confucian students were obsessed with the glory and could not extricate themselves. They praised Confucius as the so-called "only sage", and suppressed other schools under the banner of Confucius. Dispute endlessly.
And the most ineffective among them are the direct descendants of Confucius.
The Kong Xun who jumped out now, in the history of later generations, got a good title by hugging Liu Bang's thigh.
His great-great-grandson even managed to fool the Han royal family and obtained the privilege of being exempted from taxes and corvee for generations.
Afterwards, the descendants of Confucius saw the benefits of it and plundered wantonly, becoming the largest and most exploitative landlords.
His bones softened completely, and he knelt faster than anyone else.
In the history of later generations, the Central Plains Dynasty was invaded by foreign races many times, but these descendants of Confucius with high prestige, not only did not stand up, but they were all servile and procrastinating traitors every time.
This is true whether it is the Wuhu, the Yuan Dynasty, or the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
It can be said that the rotten Confucianism represents the Confucian government and is the biggest moth in the Central Plains.
Naturally, Ying Yu would not allow such a disaster to exist in Daqin.
It's just that the Confucian family has a very high reputation among scholars, and if it is erased without reason, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy.
And Kong Xun was also very afraid of death, so he stayed back all the time, letting a group of Confucian students serve as cannon fodder for the dead ghosts.
This time, he finally saw the opportunity he thought he had, and wanted to jump out and "grab credit".
Ying Yu naturally wanted to give this so-called "Queen of the Sages" a good surprise.
There is only one saint in Daqin, and that is Emperor Daqin!
As for Confucianism, teaching and educating talents honestly is their job.
Moreover, what is taught must be in line with the educational philosophy of advancing with the times.
Otherwise, Ying Yu doesn't mind erasing it completely! .
