C255 Xiao Wen's ambitious goals

Of course, there were certain differences in the etiquette for the use of tableware in this era.

Let's talk about the wooden spoon in front of us!

In this era, the name was "Dagger" or "Key".

The spoons and chopsticks are usually used in conjunction – they usually appear on the table at the same time, but the division of labor is quite clear and the two cannot be used together.

On the left side of the table, everyone first raised their chopsticks, picked up the dishes on the plate, put them into their mouths and chewed on them.

After swallowing it, he put down the chopsticks, picked up the spoon and put the steaming hot porridge into his mouth. His every movement was elegant.

However, on the right side of the table, other than Dong Zhuo and a few other big nobles who knew a little about eating etiquette, the other low-level nobles didn't know anything at all.

He only saw them using chopsticks, spoons, and even directly grabbing rice with their hands!

"Those are a bunch of pitiful people." While Xiao Wen was looking at these people with disdain, Sun Shangxiang suddenly said with a quiet tone.

"Pitiful?" When Xiao Wen heard this, he was clearly puzzled.

Seeing Xiao Wen's confusion, Sun Shangxiang knew that even though her husband was knowledgeable, she still didn't understand much about Han's national situation.

So she explained: "Some of these western aristocrats, like Dong Zhuo, got a full place on the battlefield. Thus, he was able to determine his own fate on the battlefield. So they can live a little longer. "

"But the lesser nobles, their titles, or left, or right, the head of the concubines. Although they were qualified to participate in the banquet, on the battlefield, they couldn't control their own destinies. It can be said that these people are just a bunch of consumables. "

"Perhaps, from the way they are dressed, mister seems to be very particular about their clothing. But it was all arranged by the people around them. But they could arrange clothes, they could not arrange these nobles to learn etiquette. However, some of these nobles only managed to advance a few months ago. Before this, they were just a bunch of commoners. Therefore, they did not have the time to learn etiquette. After all, at least half of the people here will die in the war against the Qin Nation this year. "

Hearing this, Xiao Wen couldn't help but feel a burst of grief in his heart.

To be honest, because of Dong Zhuo, Xiao Wen didn't have a good impression of the aristocrats in the west.

But it had to be said that these fellows had indeed shed their blood and shed their brains for this country.

"But, is the war between the Qin and Han dynasties meaningful?" Xiao Wen knew that the war between the Qin and Han dynasties was very important to both the monarchs and the citizens.

The rulers of both countries would fight for their own rule, for the land, for their own interests and those of their countries.

As for the citizens, they had to fight for their own future and for their own lives.

After all, the selection system adopted by the Qin and Han dynasties mainly focused on military merits, supported by the investigation system.

As for the investigation system, anyone who knew the history would know what kind of people this system was.

This kind of system was actually something that officials and scholars played with themselves.

After all, the limited number of slots available every year was such that not even their own people could take care of them. Who would take care of a commoner without a background?

Moreover, even if someone wanted to recruit commoners, they would have to see their abilities.

Perhaps in Song Ming in the east, rulers could not monopolize knowledge, and the people at the bottom of their country could still find a chance to read and write.

But in the Qin and Han dynasties, where would the common people learn from?

"However, what is advantageous to the state and to the ruler is of no interest to the civilization. If it were only for the sake of stability and the happiness of the people, it would be better to study India directly, solidify the class with the caste system, and then use religion to anaesthetize the people! In the East and West, there have been various revolts by General Lindenwan since ancient times. But in India, farmers, even if they commit suicide, are unwilling to rebel. Wouldn't that be great? "

But what was the result?

In later history, India, an ancient civilization no less powerful than China, was ruled by a powerful Mughal empire. But the British came and became a colony.

On the other hand, in China, the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government and the usurpation of profits by the government were even more inconceivable than the Ming dynasty. But even the Qing government was able to maintain the country's colony that was not completely ruled by the West.

It was obvious that caste and religious anesthesia were more disgusting existences than the Eight Flags and the Manchu Tarantula.

Similarly, it would be foolish for a ruler to ignore the development of civilization while knowing only how to safeguard the interests of the nation, the stability of the classes, and the well-being of the people.

"The country is big, and if you want to fight, you will die. If you forget to fight, you will be in grave danger!" Finally, Xiao Wen thought of the ancient mantra.

"Mister, you seem to have some ideas?" Sun Shangxiang asked in a low voice.

Beside her, Xiao Wen's other students as well as Princess Lu Yuan also noticed the slight change in Xiao Wen's expression.

Thus, they all cast their gazes towards Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wen looked at Lu Yuan and nodded, saying, "Although my way of thinking is very rebellious, I know that if I do that, not only the nobles in the west side of the big guy, even the commoners would scold me and call me a villain. But at that moment, I did feel that I should stop the war between the Qin and the Han dynasties. "

"Perhaps when I said this, my position had unconsciously jumped out of the burly man's category. You can think that I am from the point of view of a Southern Tang foreigner, from the identity of a third party to the Qin and Han wars. But I want to say, from the perspective of a Chinese citizen, I only think that the Qin and Han wars are beneficial to the country and the people, but harmful to the whole of Zhai Xia. "

"Princess!" Don't forget, our old ancestor once said that you can't abandon the affection of the various Xia. "

Hearing that, Lu Yuan was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, she said, "Good fortune! Do you want to become enemies with nearly half of the people in the Darkhan Kingdom?"

Hearing that, Xiao Wen laughed and said, "This is only temporary. After all, when facing a huge group of people who only have half the population, even if I am an immortal, it would still be impossible for me to stop the war. Therefore, I will start with some details and slowly arrange it until one day, when no one needs the Qin and Han wars, I will make it stop. "

"Is that so?" Hearing that, Lu Yuan's eyes were a little blurry.

She said to Xiao Wen, "Actually, Lu Yuan also knows that war is just an act of drinking poison to quench thirst. It would be nice to stop the war if I could. However, this was not very realistic. So I won't help. I can only pray silently in my heart that this good deed will succeed. "

"I can only pray, that's all."
