Gongsun Wushang was righteous and awe-inspiring;
Li Xian was stunned.
Gongsun Wushang's face was solemn;
Li Xian's face turned pale.
Li Xian now had only one thought in his mind—compared to the Legalists, the poison scholars were really childish! Listen to how many "kill" there were in their words. If the world was really governed according to the Legalists, the king would really become a "lonely man" and the world would be killed sooner or later.
No, if the world is really governed in this way, sooner or later the officials will force the people to rebel, and the king himself will die by the sword.
Fortunately, before Li Xian could speak, Gongsun Wushang suddenly sighed, "These are the core of the Legalists in the past. But recently, after listening to Master Li's theory of enriching the country through industry and commerce, I suddenly felt something. The Legalists' thoughts in the past were actually too extreme. Although they seemed beautiful, the ideals of the Legalists have never been realized over the years, which is naturally problematic. It's just that although I have some vague ideas now, they are immature. I wonder if Master Li could personally explain the theory of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce?"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Xian also said something shocking, which shocked Gongsun Wushang. "In fact, industry and commerce cannot make a country prosperous or strong. Industry and commerce will only cause chaos in a country!"
Gongsun Wushang was dumbfounded. "Li... Li... Master, didn't you always say that industry and commerce can make a country prosperous, industry and commerce can make a country strong? Why are you saying that industry and commerce can ruin a country now?"
Li Xian smiled slightly. Humph, I won't let you scare me. "In fact, the saying that industry and commerce will make the country strong is incomplete. If industry and commerce want to make the country strong, there must be a prerequisite, that is... developing science and technology! Science and technology are the primary productive forces; only when science and technology are developed, there will be industry; only when industry is developed, there will be commerce. Only in this way can there be a foundation for industry and commerce to make the country strong. If we don't talk about science and technology, and only talk about industry and commerce to make the country strong, it will eventually become a country in chaos."
"Technology? What is this?"
Li Xian’s confidentiality plan was so good that the outside world didn’t even know the word “technology”.
Li Xian smiled and said nothing.
Gongsun Wushang was certainly not a fool. After a moment of silence, he finally sighed and began to swear.
Li Xian then laughed out loud, "Come on, I'll take you to Qingyun Valley and take you to the inside of the Brilliant Star Group, and then you'll understand what technology is. Simply put, technology is about understanding the world from the fundamental level, changing the world, and creating the future."
Next, Li Xian took Gongsun Wushang to visit various departments within the Brilliant Star Group, which took three days. Gongsun Wushang spent almost every day in surprise.
Artificial sky fire, spiritual stone charging, standardized magic weapon production line, computers that are being programmed and finalized, oil refining, chemistry and explosives, munitions, smelting and refining of different metals, and brand new mathematics and unfamiliar physics...
Three days later, Gongsun Wushang's eyes when he looked at Li Xian completely changed. "Young Master, you've been advocating for the prosperity of the country through industry and commerce, but the outside world doesn't even know the word 'technology'. Isn't this a bit..."
Li Xian was full of contempt. When you talked about the strategy earlier, you were so righteous. Of course, the explanation still needs to be given. "Gongsun Wushang, if I tell you these things, will the people of the world be grateful and support me, or will they rise up and attack Anyang?"
