Looking at Xun Zi who was solemnly celebrating to him, Zhao Dan knew very well that after today's conversation, he had obviously completely won this world-famous scholar to Zhao State.

If the idea of ​​Handan Academy is really successful, then in the near future, Zhao State will replace Qi State and become the cultural center of the entire Chinese civilization.

Never underestimate the two invisible and intangible words of "culture". Isn't the source of the Chinese nation's pride and identity for five thousand years the glorious Chinese culture?

And it is not just culture. After defeating Qin twice in succession, the capital of Zhao State Handan will surely leave Linzi, Daliang and Luoyi and become the largest economic center in China.

A country with a developed economy, a prosperous culture, and a strong military power can often create an extremely brilliant era.

And the creator of this prosperous era is undoubtedly Zhao Dan!

···

Zhao Dan took several deep breaths in a row before finally getting rid of the thoughts of Piaofei, who imagined the future, looked at Xunqiu in front of him and smiled: "I don't know where Xun Qing wants to be the location of the school?"

The city of Rome cannot be built in one day, and Xunzi's academy is no exception. The first thing to solve is of course the site selection problem.

Xunqiu smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Zhao Dan waved his hand and said, "Xun Qing just goes and see it. Just tell me which land you have seen!"

Xunzi can be said to be definitely the super celebrity in front of Zhao Dan. He doesn’t hesitate for a second if he wants anything.

Xunqiu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll thank the king first. By the way, this school still lacks its name, so why not ask the king to give the name to the school."

"Give me a name?" Zhao Dan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, this academy will be named 'Huaxia Academy'!"

In this time and space, the Huaxia Academy, which is praised by future people as the "first cultural holy place on earth", was established today.

Xunqiu is also a decisive person. He just finished his negotiations with Zhao Dan and left the palace shortly after he entered into the city of Handan to find an address to the future Huaxia Academy.

The proposal brought by Xunzi was so shocking and explosive that when Xunzi left with two disciples for a long time, Zhao Dan was still immersed in joy.

This news really made Zhao Dan excited.

To be honest, in this era, their development is still in its early stages.

Moreover, after Dong Zhongshu created a "destroying all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism", except for the Confucian and Legal schools, the other schools of thought were basically gradually declining and went astray.

Taoism could have become philosophers and politicians, but ended up becoming a group of charlatans.

The Mohist school could have become an engineer and a physicist, but disappeared under the suppression of its mortal enemy Confucianism.

The Yin-Yang family could have become astronomers, but in the end they became a group of charlatans and were even used by scammers to deceive people.

In addition, there are famous masters, miscellaneous masters, militiaists, military strategists, etc., all of which have declined due to Dong Zhongshu's theory, and they have never had the grand occasion of becoming a family.

Before traveling through time, when Zhao Dan read this history, he often wondered: If we had not abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism this time, and let the various schools of thought bloom for hundreds or thousands of years, would the land of China step into modern society one step ahead of the Western world and become the master of modern society?

Zhao Dan felt that this was very likely.

Isn’t the rise of Europe because of the Renaissance that appeared in the dark medieval times? Like the controversy of a hundred schools of thought, it is a collision of ideas and a feast of culture.

In fact, the various schools of thought that were harmed by abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone also included the so-called "victors" Confucianism and Legalism.

Since the loss of opponents, Confucianism has become increasingly rigid and has eventually become an ideological tool used by rulers to fool the people and stabilize the rule. It has also been criticized by countless people in later modern society, and it is very likely to leave all the big blame for the reason why China has lagged behind for a century on Confucianism.

The same is true for the Legalists. The Legalists advocate the rule of law. Although it is ruled by law under the control of the king, the Legalists' theory actually takes only one opportunity to evolve into a modern rule of law.

As a result, the Legalists became loyal lackeys under the kings. One by one, the Legalists were only famous for their image as cruel officials, which was far from the scenes envisioned by the Legalists when they founded theories.

A movement to abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism can be said to be a huge setback in the self-evolution of Chinese civilization.

Of course, even if all schools of thought have not been abolished and Confucianism alone, these schools of thought may not be able to become philosophers, physicists and astronomers as Zhao Dan imagined.

But no matter what, as long as these schools of thought still exist and are still active on the stage of Chinese civilization, they have the possibility of evolution, and if they follow the history, there is no possibility at all.

As long as there is hope, even one percent hope is countless times stronger than no hope.

In fact, at this time, Zhao Dan, who gradually calmed down, began to understand Xunzi's thoughts.

Although he was a lieutenant of Zhao State, he was very powerful, but he might not be sure that he would not be as good as Zhao Dan's intentions one day, so Xunqiu would be left with the bedding.

But it is different to establish the Handan Academy. After all, the Academy was built because of Xunzi, so Xunzi and Confucianism undoubtedly have a very strong voice over this Academy.

In addition, the Academy itself is a political advisory group. Although Xunqiu did not hold a specific position, he was still able to participate in the political stage of Zhao as the head of the political advisory group, and could also influence Zhao's decision-making.

Therefore, Xunzi's act of describing Lieutenant to build a school is actually a way to retreat to advance, and to exchange Xunzi's personal short-term fame and fortune for the long-term influence and discourse power of Confucianism on Zhao State.

Not only that, as long as the academy is developed in the future, Xunqiu, as the founder of the academy, will naturally be famous for all generations, and she is many times better than being a lieutenant.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and shook his head: "What an old fox!"

If Zhao Dan was not wrong, I am afraid that when Xunqiu left Chu State, he had already imagined the establishment of the academy in his mind.

Xunzi and Xunzi are indeed a great man who integrates the law into Confucianism. They also have one trick after another when they play tricks.

For some reason, Zhao Dan suddenly had a premonition in his heart.

Today's meeting with Xunzi is likely to completely change the history of Chinese civilization and give Chinese civilization a chance to dominate the entire earth in the true sense!

Zhao Dan let out a long sigh, as if he had an enlightenment in his heart.
