Mystery Makes Me Strong

Innovation is the most troublesome thing.

In every unified feudal dynasty, some people will try to innovate in the middle and late stages.

However, the most successful ones only prolong the life of the dynasty for several decades, and in the end it is hard to recover, and it is another round of chaos.

Yuanshi rebellion is just a prelude.

Afterwards Lu Zhi Empress Dowager Lu realized where the real trouble was.

Right under her feet, inside and outside the capital.

"Report, Queen Mother, Liu Yuanwai outside the capital, ordered his thugs to destroy the Western-style school opened in the town, thinking that it violated the law of the ancestors."

"Wang Xiucai ridiculed that those who learn Western learning are all libertines who can't pass the imperial examination, causing conflicts."

"A group of old boys and students united to kneel before the statue of the saint, crying and complaining that Western scholars are the generation who have forgotten their ancestors."

"Are they all sick?" Lu Zhi didn't understand what these people were thinking.

Did it really harm their interests?

No, firstly, they did not ask for their land, and secondly, they did not increase their taxes.

No one dared to look up and answer.

"Go down." Lu Zhi waved his hand.

Fuqiu answered her question: "People are always habitually hiding in the comfort zone, just like modern programmers arguing for various languages, everyone hopes that the language they are proficient in can be promoted. New learning costs need to be paid.”

Lu Zhi was silent.

Only then did she understand where the real resistance was, and it lay in the imperial court, and not many people needed to learn from the West.

If there is no pain to the bone, people's hearts will not change, and they will always choose the simplest way to do it.

It’s like why Westerners can develop science, because if they don’t develop it, they will starve to death, and they will not be able to survive. The barren land alone cannot support people at all, and they must go to the other side to transport wheat through the ocean. cereals.

Her reforms are doomed to fail.

She didn't know at all that in Wen Rensheng's previous life, the Qing Dynasty had been beaten like that, and most people still didn't want to change.

What's more, the current imperial court is still in the middle stage, and it is still more than a hundred years away from being completely finished.

Just for more than a hundred years, it has been determined that people will only regard Western learning as a fun thing to have, rather than a necessity for survival.

People do not have the motivation to learn Western learning urgently, only a small number of people have it.

Just like in the last years of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, a very small number of eloquent scholar-bureaucrats actively studied Western learning, trying in vain to save the dying Ming Dynasty with Western methods.

It's a pity that they are not open travelers after all. The accumulated Western-style power is really hard to match the old forces. The imported Western-style cannons have instead become a dynasty destroyer.

"What should I do?" Lu Zhi asked with a headache.

…………

"This empress dowager, what should I do to solve the problem of innovation motivation she faces without using extraordinary power?" Wen Rensheng asked the big guys the same problem at home.

Zhao Han, Wu Shanshan, Wang Wenwen and other girls frowned there. This kind of historical issue was a headache for them.

Wen Rende, Wu Liansong, and Li Shuangyue were quite interested and began to whisper to each other.

"It's not easy, just give the money." Xiao Huan replied quickly.

Thanks to the queen mother who no longer listens to politics behind the curtain, she finally doesn't have to fan herself.

"Speaking of ideas, who will pay for it?" Wen Rensheng asked.

"She is the Empress Dowager, she ordered those ministers to hand over the family money, and she will give it to those who study Western learning." Xiao Huan continued.

Everyone laughed.

Children's thinking, thinking that the official university is enough. But I don't know that when it comes to money, it's not easy for the emperor to come.

"In the court of Empress Dowager Lu, the only place where Western learning can make money is for sailing, but the most important force in the court is the big landlords. They have rich land income and will not invest in risky During the voyage, only some coastal landowners would do this, and after finishing their voyage, they were keen to buy land rather than continue to develop trade." Wen Rende analyzed seriously.

Wen Rensheng nodded silently. Dongzhou in this world does not have in-depth education in history and politics. After all, there is a huge variable of aliens.

Therefore, after eliminating the aliens, on a new planet with only a few mysterious forces, how the society will evolve, the people around me don't know.

Only he knows best.

The birth of science is not inevitable, but accidental.

No civilization can produce science after a long period of development.

The planet he simulated had a protagonist chosen on purpose, and the script of his previous life was deliberately imported. After more than a dozen reincarnations, science could be born.

Just as he was thinking, the mysterious seed that hadn't moved for a long time suddenly gave him a reminder, which almost missed him——

"The Mystery of Civilization: The Birth of Reason, by Accident or Inevitability? This is the question. Remember the ambition of the game simulator? It is related to this question."

"Mystery: ???"

"Mysterious composition: ???"

How long has it been since the prompt from the mysterious seed was triggered?

Wen Rensheng recalled, and found out that it should have happened a long time ago.

I earned it this time, solving an incident, and even solving an incident a long time ago.

He had known about the ambition of the game simulator before, and the other party wanted to master the power of time reversal.

This reversal refers to the entire universe, not a certain planet like he played house.

Of course, his Wen Rensheng's play house, in the eyes of ordinary supernatural beings, is already at the level of a creator.

But it's nothing compared to the ambition of a game simulator.

After all, in a small Milky Way, the number of planets must be measured in billions.

But the Mysterious Seed has never given a reminder of the completion of the task, and until today, it has not seen the possibility of completion.

Yes, the evolution of civilization is an important part of the universe.

With civilization, the originally empty universe without any observers is endowed with meaning of existence.

Game simulators have done many secondary worlds, but those worlds are too unreal to be real.

In the real universe, the water in civilization is too deep, and it still can't grasp it.

It wants to grasp the evolution process of civilization... This should be another part of its ambition.

Just wait for the civilization evolution to end and see if the event is completed, and then you will know if your guess is correct.

I hope to double the upper limit of mystery again, no, I am too timid, why not square it?

The square is a bit exaggerated, and multiplying by LOG(N) will do.

Thinking of this, Wen Rensheng cheered up and paid great attention to it.

"Hey, Lao Wen, your state suddenly changed?" Xiao Huan asked in surprise.

"Because this is something that concerns hundreds of millions of lives, we will meet again in the future. Look at the residents outside. They are part of civilization. They are also working hard to promote civilization, not just us."

Wen Rensheng said as he opened the window.

Everyone looked up, and the scene in the city, as if refracted, came into view.

Office workers walking fast, old people relaxing, crying children...

The shopping mall with people coming and going, the assembly line going up and down, the crematorium being transported in and out...

People are living hard in the city, from birth to death, they have gone through a short but real life.

They have a death, and even Wen Rensheng did not interfere with this death, and it is because of this that they appear real.

The family fell silent.

At the same time, I felt an indescribable feeling that the people outside were living so really, while they were discussing the evolution of civilization of hundreds of millions of people, which seemed a bit false.
