After the 21st century, what did human civilization rely on to enter the rapid development?

In addition to the support of the government, there are also active participation of businessmen.

As long as the merchants can see the benefits, they dare to go to outer space.

Compared with conservative governments, businessmen are the most adventurous people. They dare to invest in unimaginable wealth and explore and even see potential possibilities of hope.

The progress of a civilization is definitely not based on individuals, or on one organization and another force.

It depends on interests! Only interests are the driving force for social development.

China has been around for five thousand years, except for the evolution from clans to centralized rule, it evolved from stone tools to iron tools, and then there was no other progress.

Printing, gunpowder, compass, and papermaking are all inventions that promote the process of human civilization.

But printing and papermaking ultimately only made Confucianism. No, those people today are not Confucianism at all. They are miscellaneous families with Confucian skins, and they constantly improve their status in order to rule and constantly exclude other factions.

Gunpowder could have been a powerful weapon to protect the country, but in the end it was only used for playing and watching. Compass was regarded as a side-minded and strange skill in this era.

Confucianism controls the mouthpiece of the country and stands on the commanding heights of morality. Even emperors, as long as they do not conform to their ideas, they will label them as stupid.

On the one hand, they are greedy, but on the other hand, they regard themselves as saints' inheritance.

Being lenient than self-discipline and stricter than others is the most distorted manifestation of human nature.

Throughout history, too many emperors have tried to fight against them, but they all ended in failure, and even ended with their own death.

The five thousand years of history of China, since the Qin and Han dynasties, was not without noble and righteous loyal men, but also virtuous Confucian scholars. Unfortunately, it was just a drop in the ocean. Not to mention them, even Confucius and Mencius in the world, I am afraid that they could not change the distorted doctrine.

This distorted Confucian doctrine is no longer a way to cultivate oneself, cultivate one's nature, govern the country and pacify the world, no longer a single house without sweeping, how can we sweep the world? It is no longer a vast world and a lasting righteousness.

It is a dirty and decadent struggle, fighting against all schools of thought, fighting against themselves, fighting against the royal family, fighting against all those who disobey them.

Their pens are not for the people to compete for profit, but are only prepared for frame-up and killing.

Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to others. Do to others what you want others to do to others.

The origin of all this is the monopoly on culture. They control books, which leads to others not being able to learn and see, and only hearing their voices can be heard. It has become commonplace for them to fool the people.

They consider themselves the guardians of civilization, but do not know that they have become obstructers of civilization.

They know that they have no ability to govern the country, but they are unwilling to give up honor and glory. They are clearly out of touch with the times, but they still regard themselves as the guide of the world.

The West is in a wilderness in this era, but the most prosperous Luoyang and Chang'an in this era are also trapped in another kind of wilderness.

The glorious and splendid civilization of five thousand years, and many poems and songs resounded all over the world.

However, poetry, songs and essays can only be spiritual food and must not be used to fill your stomach.

Just like people in the 21st century, why is the entertainment industry so developed? It is not that humans enter laziness, but that they have spiritual needs after filling their stomachs.

Poetry, songs and essays cannot be used as a way to govern the country, and poetry, songs and essays are not the patents of scholars and officials. Anyone who has talent can write poetry. Just like the song "Manjianghong", it is so magnificent and emotional. However, the person who wrote "Manjianghong" is not the scholars and officials, but the warrior who was rejected and disliked by the scholars and officials.

That era of chaos was also the ugliest era for scholars and officials, and it was also that era that fully revealed what ********************* was, and the ruthless one was the most scholar.

Bai Chenben only wanted to be a passerby in this era, but he still couldn't help but interfere with the progress of history. Although this seems to be meddling in other people's business, so what?

Bai Chen can't save the world, but he can change the world!

Why not do it if you have the ability?

Wu Zetian was trapped in deep thoughts. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have always been assigned to their own class. There were only a few emperors who could be called wise by later generations, and she was exactly one of them, so she saw the disadvantages.

But she could also see that if the interests of the scholars, farmers, industrialists and commerce rashly changed, she would be subject to an unprecedented impact, even a terrible impact than the foreign soldiers who came to the city.

And like other emperors, she did not dare to touch the status of scholars and officials. Even if she suppressed prominent families, she would not dare to do anything disrespectful to the entire Confucianism.

“Master, what do you want to do?”

"You have guessed it, why bother asking more?"

"It is precisely because I guessed that I dare not think about it, and I dare not think about it deeply..."

"The greatest weapon of Confucianism is the mouthpiece, and this is exactly my advantage. I can make a louder voice than them." Bai Chen glanced at Wu Zetian: "What do you want to do, just do it. As long as you do it, I can guarantee that you will be the emperor of the ages and praise it forever."

"Just when Confucianism falls, what do you have to establish?"

If it were other emperors, when they heard Bai Chen's answer, the first thing they thought of was how to deal with the Confucian counterattack, but Wu Zetian's first thought of was the next step: the world cannot be chaotic, so there must be a doctrine to support.

"All schools of thought, and the blooming of flowers is a prosperous era. How many dynasties have passed through the ages? Who can establish a dynasty for the ages? Every dynasty is ruled by Confucianism, but do they really know how to govern the world?"

Confucians only know politics, not the country...

"Master, what should be the first step?"

Wu Zetian had a vague concept in his mind, but he didn't know how to take this first step.

"Agriculture, industry and businessmen are granted officials." A glimmer flashed in Bai Chen's eyes.

"This first step is so strong? I'm afraid..." Wu Zetian's eyes flashed and he looked at Bai Chen in surprise.

"I will teach you a trick to master the mouthpiece."

"Oh?" Wu Zetian couldn't help but look forward to it. The idea Bai Chen gave her must not be an ordinary idea.

"Have a official newspaper."

"This...is probably..."

Wu Zetian's heart sank. Bai Chen's idea wouldn't be the only one. If it were this, it would be too disappointing.

In fact, in this era, there were already official newspapers, also known as official newspapers. However, most official newspapers appeared in the situation of notices and were not popular. Because the printing of movable type has not yet appeared, most of the articles, books and magazines are mainly copied by literati, and paper is extremely expensive, the process is cumbersome and expensive, and it has no effect.

"The official newspaper I mentioned is not an ordinary official newspaper. It can not only expand the voice of the court, but also increase the income of the court. This income will be unprecedentedly rich. Perhaps with the current income of all walks of life, no one will necessarily make as much money as this newspaper."

Wu Zetian was shocked and looked at Bai Chen in surprise.

"I will give you two things, papermaking and movable type printing. This new papermaking can reduce the price of paper a hundred times or even a thousand times, and the quality of paper is several times higher. This movable type printing will also make copying a thing of the past. A skilled worker can print a thousand newspapers in one hour. The price of this newspaper can be the same as the cost, and the profit point of the newspaper is not here. The real profit point lies in advertising."

"Advertise? It's widely publicized?" Wu Zetian's eyes gradually lit up.

"Mother, how can I make a profit after this publicity?" Li Dan and Li Xian believed that they were familiar with the government affairs, but they did not turn around.

Wu Zetian glanced at his two sons: "I ask you, what do you think if I say in the newspaper that something is very useful?"

"Then that thing will naturally increase sales, but Erchen still doesn't understand..."

"You should have understood... This is the simplest truth." Wu Zetian shook his head in disappointment.

Bai Chen also smiled bitterly, the gap was indeed too big.

Wu Zetian had already figured it out after saying the word "advertisement".

Li Xian and Li Dan are not stupid. They are also very literary and well-known in history, but their knowledge and ability are different from Wu Ze every day.

This is a misunderstanding of thinking. In fact, the truth is very simple, and the delicateness of Wu Zetian's women is also fully revealed at this moment. Just like those modern giant companies, the founders who founded them may not have outstanding talents or extremely smart wisdom, but because they can think of places that others cannot think of.

"Master, you are highly respected, why don't you do this newspaper? And with your identity, no one can make things difficult for you."

Bai Chen shook his head: "The court must have its own mouthpiece, and private people can also do the report. However, in the early stage, the official report must occupy an absolute advantage. When all the schools of thought grow up, everyone can make their own voices, and the greatest advantage of Confucianism will disappear."

"What Master said," Wu Zetian thought about it, but felt something was wrong: "What if someone with ulterior motives made a terrible remark in the newspapers and magazines?"

"Issue a law. Whoever says what he says or what he publishes will be responsible for. If you are slandering the public, it depends on the consequences. Suffering the public will be punished. What they want to say, don't restrain them. As long as the accounts are settled later, no one dares to say irresponsible words casually. Nowadays, I only provide you with papermaking and movable type printing technology. As long as you keep it properly, how can others compete with your official newspaper?"

Bai Chen thought for a while and said, "Add some strange stories to the official newspaper and some interesting things."

Wu Zetian's eyes lit up again, and Bai Chen's words immediately made her think of a greater possibility.

Li Dan and Li Xian were still recalling Bai Chen's previous words, and Wu Zetian had already understood Bai Chen's later words.

It has to be said that Wu Zetian is indeed a capable man in governing the world. Bai Chen has thousands of generations of knowledge and his vision is far beyond the same as Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian can follow Bai Chen's footsteps.

Bold! Careful... This is Bai Chen's impression of Wu Zetian. (To be continued.)
