Chapter 438 Lu Buwei

Ouyang Shuo checked the attributes of [Farmer's Holy Land].

[Farmer's Holy Land]: The output of agricultural products in the territory will increase by 25%, the disaster resistance ability of the crops in the territory will increase by 20%, the research and development level of agricultural tools in the territory will increase by 15%, and the research and development level of agricultural technology in the territory will increase by 20%.

As expected of a farm family, all the upgrades are the agricultural attributes of the territory. With the blessing of [Farmer's Holy Land], the agriculture of Shanhai Territory is much ahead of other territories.

The settlement of the farmhouse is only one step away from the completion of [Reproduce the Contention of Hundred Schools].

[Task Requirements]: Reproduce the grand gathering of schools in Jixia Academy back then, and hold at least one influential debate; among the top ten out of ten, at least three must settle in the territory.

The contention meeting is the first item to respond to the mission requirements. In the second requirement, the legal family and the peasant family have already settled in, and as long as one more family is recruited, the task will be considered complete.

Ouyang Shuo briefly analyzed the remaining Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Famous Schools, Yin Yang Schools, Strategists, Miscellaneous Schools and Novelists.

Let me talk about the novelist who ranks last.

Although novelists are in their own class, they are regarded as out-of-the-box, so there is a saying of "nine streams and ten schools".

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were few great novelists. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that novelists shined, and great novelists such as Cao Xueqin, Shi Naian, Luo Guanzhong, and Wu Chengen emerged one after another.

Therefore, the novelist can be the first to exclude and not consider it for the time being.

It is estimated that no novelist will attend this competition.

Let's talk about Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohist schools. These three schools are all big schools. It is very difficult to get their approval. Needless to say, Confucianism's ambition is to affect all player territories. It is difficult to settle in a certain territory.

Those who become officials can only be Confucian scholars, not representatives of Confucianism.

Taoism emphasizes governance through inaction, and it is difficult to gain recognition in such a big environment as the wilderness.

Therefore, Lao Zhuang and others will choose to hide from the world.

Besides Mohism, Mohism is similar to Confucianism, and it also has ambitions. The difference is that Confucianism has the confidence to fulfill their ambitions, while Mohism can only develop secretly.

If you want to be born, choosing a territory to settle in is also a good choice for the Mohists. I just don't know if the current Shanhai City can fall into Mozi's eyes.

Then came the Famous School, the Yin-Yang School, and the Strategist. The disciples of these three schools have their own specialties in terms of territory. If they are used well, they also have room to show their ambitions.

It must be mentioned that there is a difference between a master and a strategist.

Like famous scholars, strategists also cultivate eloquence. The difference is that the edge of famous scholars lies in the debate of logic; while the debate of strategists lies in the debate of politics.

Therefore, disciples of strategists can be diplomats, but disciples of famous schools are not welcome.

The Yin-Yang School advocates the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and then extends to the "Five Virtues, End and Beginning Theory".

"Five virtues" refer to the attributes of the five elements, namely earth virtues, wood virtues, gold virtues, water virtues, and fire virtues. According to the Yin-Yang family, all things in the universe correspond to the five elements, and each has its own virtues, while the operation of the way of heaven, the changes of the world, and the replacement of dynasties are the results of the "transfer of the five virtues".

Before the Battle of Julu, Ouyang Shuo would not have believed in the Five Virtues.

But in the Julu battlefield, Ouyang Shuo personally mobilized Liu Bang's red dragon soul, and he had to believe in the theory of the five virtues. Obviously, Gaia quoted the concept of the five virtues in the luck.

If Ouyang Shuo remembers correctly, among the basic buildings of the third-level county town, there is a building called "Star Observation Tower", which is suitable for disciples of the Yinyang family to manage.

The well-known Qin Tianjian is responsible for observing the sky, calculating the solar terms, and formulating the calendar.

The last family is Zajia, whose representative is Lu Buwei.

Strictly speaking, "Zajia" is not a conscious and inherited school, so Lu Buwei does not claim to be a school of "Zajia".

Since "Hanshu. This school was officially named only after "Lushi Chunqiu" was included in "Zajia" in "Yiwenzhi" for the first time.

Qin Shihuang entered Xianyang, and Lu Buwei would definitely not stay in Xianyang. I just don't know if this legendary figure will show up in Shanhai City.

After calculation, Ouyang Shuo has the most confidence in the Yin Yang family, followed by the Mo family.

In the end, it depends on the contention conference.

***********

In the next few days, more and more scholars poured into Shanhai City.

The campus of Southwest University is bustling with people. Especially the library is even more lively.

Among the scholars, no matter who came to Shanhai City, the first one to visit was not Ouyang Shuo, the lord, but Jiang Taigong, the owner of the library.

Fortunately, everyone has their own sense of proportion, and those who come forward are their representatives.

Ordinary disciples can only meet at a distance in the library, and dare not come forward to chatter. Otherwise, the grandfather who likes to be quiet will probably be annoyed to death.

Disciples from different families live in Juxian Building, of course disputes are unavoidable.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

Literati look down on each other, since ancient times, it is really normal to pinch each other when they meet. Not to mention, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were some rifts between various schools and factions.

The hostility between each other is even worse.

Xiao He, as Ouyang Shuo's representative and the organizer of the competition, simply lived in Juxian Building, leading people to mediate disputes every day, which was a real headache.

In the end, it was Jiang Shang who came forward.

Taigong officially announced that the first [Reading] of the Contest will be officially launched. You don't have to argue with each other, let's go to the library to study for a week.

When the Taigong spoke, the scholars dared not disobey.

In this way, the turmoil subsided a little.

Apart from arguing, the scholars living in Juxian Building are also particular about food.

Not everyone is like Lao Zhuang and the others, who have no desires or desires. Especially after each family and faction entered the wilderness, the newly recruited disciples were not clean.

Not to mention, how much they know about their own theories, just the material needs make people frown.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

According to Xiao He's observation, among the scholars who came, there were many who came to cheat food and drink.

When Ouyang Shuo got the news, he was not furious. As the host, he still needs to be tolerant. He immediately instructed [Sangu Restaurant] to provide special meals for Juxianlou every day.

Only in this way can the voice of the scholar's cry be calmed down.

There are those who don't make a face, go directly to the [Sangu Restaurant] to eat, and don't pay the bill after eating, just throw a sentence: I am from a certain school, so I pat my ass and leave.

This kind of behavior really shames every family and faction.

These scholars basically do not belong to the "nine streams and ten schools". Ouyang Shuo had never heard of any of the genres mentioned, it's a good thing they figured it out.

Speaking of it, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period is known as a hundred schools of thought contending, but it is estimated that even the people of the Warring States period have no way of verifying how many schools of thought there are. To exaggerate, one person can start a family.

They don't care what the family and faction have in the end, let's raise the banner first.

Think about it, even great masters like the Mohist family gradually disappeared in later generations. It is even more difficult for other unknown people to survive, and they have long been submerged in the long river of history.

I don't know how Gaia "created" them.

These people just want to gain some sense of existence through the competition.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo did not neglect.

who knows? Among these people, are there one or two real talents? As long as one is found, it is considered a profit. What is a little wine and food?

Even if there is no one, you can still gain a good reputation, why not do it?

As the saying goes, cannibals have short mouths. These scholars are serving good wine and good food in Shanhai City. When they go back, they should say something nice for Shanhai City, right?

One sentence per person can make Shanhai City famous.

Reputation is something that can't be seen or touched. At critical moments, it's really important.

Take Xianyang City's "Decree to Drive Confucianism" as an example. Other lords have gained a lot, but Dudushanhai City has no harvest. Isn't it the fault of reputation?

It was reported that Di Chen was in Xianyang City, but he managed to find a few great talents, which made Ouyang Shuo jealous. Even the other members of the Shanhai League have achieved quite a lot.

Thinking of the siege lion showing off on the alliance channel, Ouyang Shuo hated it.

Don't live up to it!

The only thing that made Ouyang Shuo feel gratified was that some Confucian scholars in Xianyang City hadn't absolutely joined any territory, but followed Mencius, Xunzi and others to Shanhai City to participate in the contest.

Whether it can win a game or not, it's a fight here.

Speaking of which, with the arrival of various bigwigs, only Lao Tzu and Han Feizi appeared on the stage. Even Lu Buwei, Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others have already rushed to Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo was really surprised by this.

Ouyang Shuo specially asked Wei Ran, governor of Lianzhou County, to rush back to Shanhai City to accompany Lu Buwei and others. He doesn't have any ambitions either, and he hopes that Lu Buwei can become an official in Shanhai City.

To be honest, even if Lu Buwei is willing, Ouyang Shuo still has concerns in his heart.

This person is too smart, Ouyang Shuo dare not use it.

But Ouyang Shuo, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who were brothers from the same school, were somewhat interested.

As I said before, there is no diplomatic talent in Shanhai City.

Based on Ouyang Shuo's experience in his previous life, the further a diplomat is, the more effective he will be.

The lord war in the wilderness can be roughly divided into three stages.

The first stage is to develop independently without interfering with each other.

The second stage is the mutual annexation between territories.

The wilderness is still in the second stage, and this stage is also the longest.

The third stage is the stalemate stage.

After the annexation, a district was born with digital overlords, who check and balance each other, making it difficult to unify. Just like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods in history.

At that time, it is time for the diplomat to appear.

In addition, the later the period, the more the lord has to face the threat of the natives.

Taking China as an example, Tubo, Xixia, Mongol, and Jurchen forces will gradually join in the surrounding areas. These powerful forces are also the enemies of the lord.

It can even be said that it is an enemy stronger than other lords.

Foreigners or Anne?

How to choose is different from person to person.
