The heated debate about steam engines even spread to the court

“This group of Confucian scum enjoys the benefits of the development of the Qin Dynasty but has no intention of contributing to the country. Anyway, they are just tinkering with outdated and pedantic doctrines every day. Now they even dare to question His Highness the Crown Prince?”

“This Kong Fu really regarded his ancestors as sages, and actually wanted to make a bet with the Crown Prince in the name of a sage queen, without even looking at his own virtues!”

“But after all, Confucianism was the most prominent school in the Qin Dynasty in the past. Although it has declined now, it still has hundreds of thousands of disciples and has the support of many powerful people. I’m afraid it is difficult to move!”

“It’s hard to make a fool of yourself. In my opinion, His Highness is just too soft-hearted towards this group of people!”

“This group of people should be shut up completely!”

“I, Da Qin, 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 we say it!”

“Li Lu, don’t think that I don’t know that you are Li Si’s disciple. What you said just now is clearly an act of revenge and an attempt to attack and exclude my Confucianism!”

Above the imperial court, a group of officials were quarreling, and they were getting more and more fierce, and they almost started fighting.

On the emperor’s throne, Ying Zheng had no expression on his face and glanced at everyone indifferently.

A group of officials were arguing Their hearts trembled, and they immediately became silent.

However, when their eyes exchanged, they were still unconvinced, and it was obvious that they did not really intend to let it go.

“Dear friends, what are your opinions?”

Ying Zheng glanced at the important ministers sitting in the front row and said

“I am not very good at science and engineering, but His Highness the Crown Prince has created many miracles, so I trust His Highness the Crown Prince!”

Li Si was the first to speak.

“I have gone to the kitchen to see the power of this steam. It is indeed quite powerful, but if I want to drive the car to speed, I am afraid there is still a long way to go. Feng

Jie said cautiously:”So I think that this steam engine can definitely be manufactured, but it may take a long time.””

“Although the prospects of steam engines are very bright, the current difficulty is too great and a lot of research and development funds have been burned. Is it possible to postpone it temporarily and continue research until conditions are mature?”

Nei Shiteng’s old habit of being stingy came back again, and he muttered in a low voice.

“Lao Teng, this is unreasonable. Without the many technologies invented by His Highness, how could Great Qin have achieved what it has today?”

“Now that this steam engine has only cost a million dollars, you are starting to make demands again!”

Wang Ben suddenly lost his temper and said

“That’s right, the funds for the Scientific Research Institute and the Academy of Engineering are not paid by the Ministry of Household Affairs, but are obtained through self-authorized patents. On the contrary, they can turn over a lot of income to the Ministry of Household Affairs every year!”

“Some time ago, didn’t a bicycle patent sell for tens of millions of dollars?”

“Without input, where will the output come from?”

“If you have the ability, when the steam engine comes out, don’t use it!”

Wang Li and others also stood up and retorted, expressing their position clearly.

The reason is also very simple. The Daqin military is originally Fusu’s cronies, and it has benefited the most from Fusu.

Soldiers, who don’t Want the weapons in your hands to be the best?

This is what the soldiers rely on to survive until victory.

And the steam engine also played a great role in Qin’s unification of the world.

Not to mention many, if the steam engine can be used in the excavation of the Suez Canal It will definitely save a lot of time.

And if the Qin Dynasty’s ships can also use steam engines, the significance will be even more significant.

Neishiteng was immediately refuted and was speechless. The other Confucian officials saw this , and quickly retracted the words of doubt that he was about to say.

He was secretly thinking in his heart, if he can’t compete in the court, then he can mobilize hundreds of thousands of Confucian students in the private sector to attack together. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network! )

If Fusu does not stop him, as long as the steam engine does not come out for a day, the Confucianists will have enough voice.

And if Fusu uses his power to intervene, the Confucians also have a set of coping methods. If they work well, in their view, it may not be possible. We can’t take back the right to speak in Da Qin.

This is the foundation for Confucianism to turn around!

Fusu, who took everything in his eyes, couldn’t help but sneer.

He wished these rotten Confucians wouldn’t jump out.[]

To be honest, Fusu still respects Confucius himself.

After all, Confucius’s educational philosophy was indeed very advanced in Confucius’ era. 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 big problems.

No matter how advanced an idea is, if it fails to keep pace with the times, it will gradually fall behind or even be eliminated.

However, Confucian students were obsessed with glory and could not extricate themselves. They praised Confucius as the so-called”the only sage”, used Confucius’s banner to suppress other schools of thought, and internally split into several large factions. They spent all day fighting for Confucian authority is constantly at odds.

The most insignificant among them are the direct descendants of Confucius.

The Kong Min who jumped out now, in the history of later generations, got a good title by holding Liu Bang’s thigh.

His great-great-grandson even successfully deceived the Han royal family and obtained the privilege of being exempted from taxes and corvee for generations.

Later descendants of Confucius saw the benefits and plundered wantonly, becoming the largest and most exploitative landowners.

Bones was completely soft, and he knelt down faster than anyone else.

In later history, every time the Central Plains was invaded, the descendants of Confucius had a high reputation, but not only did they not stand up once, but they were the first to grovel and become traitors every time.

This is true whether it is Wu (Zhao Hao) Hu or Yuan Dynasty, or Mite Qing.

It can be said that corrupt Confucianism represents the Confucian government and is the biggest moth in the Central Plains.

Fusu naturally would not let such a disaster exist in Great Qin.

It’s just that the Kong family has always had a very high reputation among scholars. If they are erased without reason, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy.

And Kong Fu was also afraid of death. He always stayed behind and let a bunch of Confucian students serve as cannon fodder.

This time, I finally saw the opportunity I thought I had and wanted to jump out and”grab the credit”.

Fusu naturally wanted to give the so-called”Queen of Sages” a good surprise.

There is only one saint in Da Qin, and that is the Emperor of Da Qin!

As for Confucianism, we should honestly return to our duty of teaching and educating people.

And it must be in line with educational concepts that keep pace with the times.

Otherwise, Fusu wouldn’t mind erasing it completely!.
