Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, after denying the Qin Dynasty’s basic national policy of being a legal country, the Han Dynasty has implemented Huang Lao’s way of governing the country.

Huang-Lao's way of governing the country by inaction made outstanding contributions to the recovery of vitality and the stability of the country in the early Han Dynasty, but its bad ideological influence was the worship of antiquity!

Worshiping the past is a major obstacle to ideological progress. As long as it exists, there will inevitably be a group of people who think that today's achievements are not as good as those of the ancients.

Under the influence of this kind of admiration for the ancients for a long time, many people will unconsciously attribute the current predicament to the fact that today's people do not follow the ancient laws.

It is believed that the solution to the predicament encountered by today's people lies in the rules once implemented by the ancients. For this reason, some people will try to ideally take the road of retrospect.

However, the development of society has long surpassed the social environment that the ancients lived in at that time, and the productivity is far superior to that of the ancients. Therefore, blindly following the methods of the ancients and carrying out retro reforms will only lead to a dead end in the end!

In the original history, Liu Xin, Yang Xiong, and Wang Mang were like this in their generation. In order to change the shortcomings accumulated in the two hundred years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the three of them carried out an unprecedented retro movement. The last three were not only because of their respective

They parted ways due to a dispute over ideas, and they became enemies of each other and killed each other!

This situation has been repeated repeatedly throughout the thousands of years of history that Wang Mang knows.

Therefore, the current Wang Mang is no longer affected by this era like the original Wang Mang, and then worships the ancients. The current Wang Mang respects the ancients but does not worship the ancients.

Moreover, the word "Zun" is still the word "Zun" of respect, not the word "Zun" of respect!

So after hearing Wang Mang's shocking words, Liu Xin and Yang Xiong now had huge waves in their minds because of these words!

Although what the two of them learned was not Huang Lao, but Confucianism.

However, due to the influence of these two hundred years and the canonization of Confucian classics and Confucius by great Confucian scholars in the past dynasties, the current Confucianism has also fallen into the strange circle of worshiping the ancients.

Confucianism worships the Duke of Zhou era that Confucius admired. They believe that era was an era of ritual, music, guest service, and order. Moreover, Confucius' lifelong pursuit was also to restore the ritual system and end the collapse of ritual and music since the Spring and Autumn Period.

Therefore, among the Confucian disciples of later generations, except for Xunzi, a realist Confucian, the remaining Confucian scholars emphasized so-called morality!

They all hope to formulate social rules based on morality!

But does morality really work?

If morality is to be absolutely useful, it must be based on the fact that everyone must have the same moral level as Confucius.

Otherwise, morality may become a weapon used by some people to accuse others. Using such a moral weapon is immoral in itself.

Therefore, Xunzi believes that human nature is inherently evil, and we should formulate rules to govern the country that correspond to nature's inherent evil.

Moreover, it is because of Xunzi’s ideas that the Legalist school represented by Han Feizi and Li Si emerged.

Both of these people are disciples of Xunzi, and their belief is that "nature is inherently evil", and they believe that only strict and fair laws are the basis for governing the country!

Now, Wang Mang put forward a new theory in front of Liu Xin and Yang Xiong, believing that if modern people want to make progress, they cannot just rely on learning from the ancients, but must stand on the shoulders of the ancients while learning.

Once such a theory came out, it was definitely a nuclear-level ideological bomb for Liu Xin and Yang Xiong!

These words were like a beam of light, suddenly illuminating the way forward for the two of them who were groping in the darkness.

After being lost for a long time, the two of them couldn't help but bow deeply to Wang Mang, "The words of a great monarch are like drums at dusk and bells in the morning. If you listen to these words today, you will die without regrets! Please accept my worship!"

Wang Mang was stunned by the two people's actions. He didn't expect that he just expressed one of his opinions, and how could he attract such solemn thanks from the two people.

Wang Mang quickly helped the two of them up and said, "What are you two brothers doing? You can't be as reckless as a family, so why should you let these two brothers be so solemn?"

Yang Xiong said with excitement in his eyes: "Jujun's words are wrong! Jujun's words just now made it easier for the two of us to study for ten years. Especially Jujun's words of 'standing on the shoulders of the ancients' are even more impressive."

It's like waking up from a dream, and I know that I am who I am today!"

Liu Xin added: "Jujun's words are like a great road. We have been following the footsteps of our predecessors, thinking that by studying the ways of our predecessors, we can walk the road well. But today I understand that if we want to walk the road well, it is not

It is to follow the way of the ancients, but to stand on the shoulders of the ancients and see the farther future for the ancients!"

Wang Mang was stunned when he heard the changes in their thoughts. Could this be the terrifying understanding of a top power? He just said a word, and the two of them understood such advanced thoughts!

It seems that the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated! What they lack is the knowledge of the same era.

If they can also see the world two thousand years from now, then the achievements they can achieve must be beyond Wang Mang's imagination!

Unfortunately, he is the only time traveler, and Liu Xin and Yang Xiong obviously are not so lucky.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go before people of this era can escape from the limitations of their own era.

However, after seeing the reactions of Liu Xin and Yang Xiong today, Wang Mang suddenly felt that this road was not difficult to walk. At least they had found the direction and were no longer confused.

Wang Mang was so amazed by the performance of Liu Xin and Yang Xiong that he almost forgot why he came to Tianlu Pavilion.

After ending this unexpected ideological storm with Liu Xin and Yang Xiong, Wang Mang explained his purpose.

Wang Mang said to Liu Xin and Yang Xiong: "Since the two brothers now understand the future, will they help Mang do the current business now?"

Liu Xin and Yang Xiong laughed and said, "Jujun, feel free to speak out."

Wang Mang said: "I want to look for military books written since the Spring and Autumn Period in Tianlu Pavilion as well as records of wars in the past dynasties."

Liu Xin and Yang Xiong smiled and said: "It's simple, you only need to wait a few days, and the two of us will prepare it for you."

Wang Mang bowed and said, "In that case, Mang would like to thank my two brothers!"

This is why Wang Mang came to Tianlu Pavilion this time. He just wanted to find the military books written by military strategists of all dynasties since the Spring and Autumn Period, and then study them carefully, and then study them based on the experiences of the wars of the past dynasties.

After all, Wang Mang is now a senior general in charge of the imperial army. If he no longer knows how to use military tactics, how bad would it be to say this?

Besides, Wang Mang didn't want to be a show-off general who didn't know anything. He had to arm himself with his knowledge reserves first. Otherwise, if he really encountered a war in the future, it would be miserable for him as a layman to be deceived by others.

Therefore, Wang Mang must make up for his military strategy to prepare for a rainy day, lest he accidentally usurp the Han Dynasty, be beaten to a pulp, and be shown off by Xiu'er, then...

It’s too embarrassing for time-travelers.
