Chapter 189 A Confucian Scholar Like a Fool
As soon as the news that the imperial court was going to build the Grand Canal came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Countless businessmen and people are looking forward to it.
Of course, there are some people who don't understand.
"Since ancient times, waterways have not been the mainstream. In my opinion, land is more reliable."
"Yes, if you walk on land in rainy days, your car will capsize, but if you go on water, it will capsize. I don't want to be drowned."
"Don't talk about capsizing the boat, let me tell you, the boat is very uncomfortable to sit on and shake."
"That's right, it's nothing to build a canal. If you have this skill, it's better to build all the cement roads."
It's just that as soon as these people finished speaking, someone stood up to refute.
"Didn't the newspaper say that this waterway is mainly used for transportation, not for you to go out?"
"That's right, I don't understand anything. I don't know how much faster this waterway transportation is than a horse-drawn carriage, and it can load more goods at a time."
Many people who knew the benefits of opening the Grand Canal stood up to refute.
Due to Ying Yu's wide recruitment of customers, there are hundreds of elite children gathered in Xianyang City.
Their vision is much wider than that of ordinary people.
"Although there are many benefits to building a canal, the premise is that it can be built."
"In my opinion, for such a large project, if we really want to build it, we don't know how many people will be killed. It's better not to repair it."
Just when everyone was talking about it, a man dressed as a Confucian scholar jumped out.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him in unison.
"Is this person stupid in reading?"
"Now my Daqin has already canceled hard labor. How can alien slaves who are used for hard work like building canals take the lives of the people of my Daqin?"
"That's right, didn't the newspapers also say that this time the canal is also dominated by alien coolies."
Looking at the crowd, with eyes like looking at a fool, the Confucian scholar was immediately annoyed.
Then he shouted angrily:
"In your eyes, don't aliens not be human? They are also flesh and blood."
"Yes, even if it is a foreign race, it should not be treated like this."
Several Confucian disciples also spoke in agreement.
Everyone laughed immediately when they heard the words.
"I didn't see that these guys still have the potential to become the traitors that His Royal Highness said."
"Aliens are also human beings, bah! Can they also be called human beings?". VII
"When those prairie barbarians burned, killed and looted on the border of our Great Qin, why didn't I see you speak for the people of Great Qin? Why didn't I see you go to battle to kill the enemy?"
"You can't bear to just let these barbarians serve as laborers. In my opinion, these people should all be damned."
"If you can't bear it, just build the canal instead of them, don't be ashamed here."
"What the hell, you Confucian scholars have too many things to do, hurry up and beat you up in BB."
"Wouldn't it be cheaper to just let them go? Beat him up!"
Someone with a hot temper couldn't stand it, and just went up and punched and kicked.
For the people of Qin who admired military power, what they looked down on the most was this kind of Confucian scholars who were stupid in reading.
Of course not all Confucian scholars are like this.
"What's going on? Why did you gather a crowd to make trouble?"
At this moment, several Jin Yiwei in flying fish suits rushed over.
Seeing this, everyone quickly stopped, and then narrated the whole process of the matter.
When Jin Yiwei heard this, he was furious.
"How dare you slander His Highness the Crown Prince in the street, take it down for me!"
"Wrong...wrong, my lord, we didn't mean to slander His Highness the Crown Prince, we really didn't!"
The Confucian scholar, whose nose was bruised and face swollen from the beating, was shocked.
He hurriedly shouted that he was wronged, but Jin Yiwei didn't buy it at all.
Several people were taken away directly.
The onlookers applauded after seeing this.
Although they have no culture, they can distinguish between good and bad better than anyone else.
They knew exactly how Ying Yu, the crown prince, treated the people.
So they can't tolerate anyone who says something wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Looking at the shouting common people, the children of hundreds of families also fell into deep thought.
Due to the contention of a hundred schools of thought, students from various schools often meet and communicate, so their thinking is also very open.
With the establishment of the Royal Academy, the students also began to respond to Ying Yu's call, no longer limited to the words of the family.
And the rise of businessmen is like a heavy hammer, knocking on the hearts of many scholars.
This let them know that the reality is different from what the sages described, or even completely opposite.
Looking at the few Confucian scholars who were taken away by Jin Yiwei, many disciples from hundreds of families couldn't help sighing.
These few people are typical. They only know how to keep their heads down and read books, and they like to use the sages to talk about things when they encounter problems.
No ability to think at all.
This is typical reading and reading stupid.
......
"Father, you see that the people still support the construction of the canal very much."
In the private room on the top floor of Tianxiang Pavilion, Ying Yu poured Brother Zheng a cup of tea and said with a smile.
"When it comes to controlling people's hearts, I'm not as good as you!"
Ying Zheng took the teacup and sighed.
It's not like he didn't visit Weifu privately before.
Although Xianyang City was considered lively at that time, there were seldom smiles on the faces of the people.
Although the people will not oppose the policies promulgated by him, they will not strongly support them either.
Most of them have nothing to do with their own attitude.
Every time he wanted to build something, the people complained and said he was a tyrant.
Even the Great Wall and Zhidao, which are beneficial to the country and the people, are the same.
But what about now?
The people in Xianyang City are still very busy, but the smiles on their faces make people feel very comfortable.
Daqin wants to build a facility, and the people will respond positively.
This should be all of Yu'er's cohesion!
In the past, Ying Zheng always thought that the people called him a tyrant because he was ignorant.
But today he found out that he was wrong.
It is not wrong to build large-scale projects, nor is it wrong to recruit civilians.
But the fault lies in not making good use of popular support.
It wasn't until this moment that Ying Zheng realized what Ying Yu said: water can carry a boat and also capsize it!
What is the truth of this sentence.
After drinking the tea in his hand, he became more and more satisfied with Ying Yu.
It's just that when he put down the cup, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why have you never seen the material of this cup before?
"This glass is so crystal clear, where did it come from?"
Ying Zheng picked up the cup again and looked at it carefully.
Liuli was a rare commodity in Qin Dynasty. Even Yingzheng, the emperor, only had a few pieces of Liuli.
He had never seen such a crystal clear glass cup as in his hand.
"Father, how much do you think this cup can sell for?"
Ying Yu asked with a smile.
"How can such a treasure be sold?"
Brother Zheng gave Ying Yu a displeased look.
Then he took out a brocade cloth, wrapped the cup like a treasure, and put it in his arms.
