After the general amnesty of the world, he immediately ordered the mobilization of some elite officials and all the coolies to go to the Grand Canal construction site.

Shu Road, one of the two major projects of the Wei Empire, was completed, and the next step was the Grand Canal Project in the central and eastern regions.

Since the construction of this project was officially started in the sixth year of Yande, it has been ten years since the Jiangnan section was completed, and the Central Plains section was almost completed. Now only the waterway connected to Luoyang needs to be further broadened to enhance transportation capacity.

The Hebei section is still busy, and the section connecting Luoyang to Yecheng.

Originally, this period did not exist. During the Chengtian Party Controversy in the fourth year of Yande, Guo Peng took the opportunity to get on track and joined the scope of the Grand Canal Project, connecting Hebei with the Central Plains and Jiangnan to facilitate future transportation of grain in the south and north.

This project was carried out by Guo Peng using the Xianbei and Wuhuan people captured at that time. Due to the extensive initial engineering model, a large number of prisoners of war were killed.

Later, Guo Peng warned the officials in charge of the canal project to treat prisoners of war a little well, which stopped the mass death of prisoners of war.

However, until now, I have been digging the river and broadening the river. Such high-intensity physical labor squeeze has not received much nutritional supplement. In addition, the sporadic uprisings of prisoners of war were suppressed by the Wei army, and this group of prisoners of war with more than one million people has been 10 to 45.

They are almost at the end of their strength and now they need to introduce new labor to supplement them.

Although the coolies on the Shu Road are basically at the end of their strength.

However, a considerable number of the coolies on Shu Road are political criminals. Guo Peng and Guo Jin are all useless for them. Anyway, they don’t want to leave the construction site alive.

By assembling all the forces of the two major projects, Guo Jin gave the Grand Canal project the last year, which will be completely completed before June of the fourth year of Xingyuan.

Although the canal project has not been completed in its entirety, some river channels in the southern and middle sections have been used.

Officials and businessmen have begun to use the canal to carry out some administrative and commercial work, such as sending messages back and forth.

Through the canal, even the number of horses used has been reduced, which is good news for the overwhelmed official road and Chemasi.

Of course, all of this was done by Guo Jin, and Guo Peng did not participate in it.

He strictly abides by the rules he set and does not interfere with Guo Jin's administration. He means that he appears in the school from time to time, and continues to strictly urge the school to further promote the downward trend of education, and strives to completely sink the school to the county level in his lifetime.

As for the goal of graded education or the goal of going down to the township level, it is probably only handed over to future generations and descendants.

In order to reduce the illiteracy rate of the Wei Empire and effectively improve the educational popularity rate, Guo Peng devoted a lot of his energy.

He hopes that this action can effectively change the future and provide cultural and ideological soil for future changes, so that this change can come as soon as possible.

The break with Cai Yong made him convinced that he could not be understood by anyone of this era, and he was always a lonely loner.

This made him pay more attention to education and technology, in order to achieve results in these two things, giving him more room and possibility to realize his ideals.

Even if all this is really difficult and out of reach, he must go in that direction.

One inch is just one inch, and you can move slowly. Even if you are turtle's speed, you can get one inch more advantage.

As long as he is alive, he must keep moving forward and keep moving forward.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Xingyuan, after years of preparation, judging science officially became a part of the official discipline and included in the scope of the imperial examination.

From then on, any student who takes the imperial examination must master the most basic natural science knowledge.

The Imperial Academy, the State Academy, the county school, and the county schools that have been established have fully launched the study of physics education.

The Investigation Teachers who he carefully trained were assigned to schools in various prefectures and counties, becoming Investigation Teachers, and leading students to learn Investigation.

Before this, Guo Peng instructed Guo Jin to set up the Royal Gathering Hall of the Wei Empire.

Gewu Hall will be listed alongside the Arithmetic Hall as an important scientific research institution under the Taixue School, and is specifically responsible for setting questions for the content of studying physics in the imperial examination and testing students' knowledge of studying physics, so as to ensure the existence of studying physics to the most basic extent.

Then it is guided to the development of science and technology, and guide the research of various technologies such as iron smelting, farming, shipbuilding, and city building that the Wei Empire is currently in urgent need of improvement, and serves reality with accumulated theoretical knowledge.

Guo Jin generally agreed to this request.

But on one thing, Guo Jin and Guo Peng had a disagreement.

Before the final draft of the textbook on studying matters, it naturally requires the emperor's approval, and it is not possible to recognize the emperor alone.

"Father, of course, Gewutang can be established. It is of course a good thing to do some research and promotion in iron smelting and farming. But, if you don't say whether he is true, just say such a thing... isn't it convenient to be made public for education?"

Guo Jin took the formally determined teaching materials for the study of matters for a day, then came to Taishan Temple in person, sent others away, and raised his own doubts to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin's doubts.

It is about the part of the universe view. Guo Peng said that the world is a sphere, and everyone lives on it. The sphere exists in the vast universe. The so-called sky is the universe. The sunset and the moon rise are the principles of nature, and no one deliberately controls it.

Guo Peng tried his best to describe a shallow view of the universe with some words that contemporary people can understand, and Guo Jin was dissatisfied with this passage.

Guo Peng was not surprised.

"Why is it inconvenient?"

"Father! The emperor, who calls himself the emperor, has explained the principle of the emperor's authority since Dong Zhongshu, and the emperor administers the emperor on behalf of the heaven. Therefore, what he does is extremely just and what he does is reasonable and legal, and others cannot question it at all.

This is the consensus of all people in the world. Everyone thinks that heaven has spirit. The emperor is really the son of heaven. Now you tell them that heaven is the universe, and the sunset and the moon rises are the principle of nature. Isn’t this telling them that heaven has no spirit and everything is the principle of nature?

Since God has no spirit, how can the emperor claim to be the emperor? How can he administer on behalf of heaven? Where does the imperial power come from? Where does the power of the entire Wei Kingdom come from? The entire foundation of upward and downward effectiveness must be shaken. This is a matter of shaking the foundation of the country!"

Guo Jin persuaded Guo Peng with great thought: "Father, my son doesn't know whether these are true or not, and my son doesn't care whether we live on the same ball. My son only knows that this is a major event related to the foundation of Wei State and cannot be careless!"

Before, when Guo Jin first saw this content, his status was not stable enough, and he was wholeheartedly focused on his position and power, and he did not dare to have any doubts about Guo Peng.

But as time goes by, his status and power gradually stabilize, and to this day, he has become a real emperor.

When he looked at the final book on the study of physics, his doubts and dissatisfaction completely erupted.

Guo Peng stared at Guo Jin for a long time, and the pain feeling when he broke up with Cai Yong came to his heart again.

He had to admit painfully that his son was a complete monarch, a feudal monarch who had part of his thoughts but could not transcend the times.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, Guo Peng once expected that his son would be different from other people in this era, but in the end, he had never experienced it.

He has never experienced earth-shaking changes, nor has he experienced a complete change in production relations and social structure, so he cannot transcend it.

Guo Peng has experienced it himself, but Guo Peng existed in this era. Everything about him is in line with the laws of this era. His only exceptional dedication to the imperial examination was already an unprecedented change.

The production relations and social structure of the Wei Empire did not undergo substantial changes, and this is undeniable.

Guo Pengcheng thought about why China in that era was successful.

There has also been no substantial change in productivity and social structure, and it is even worse than before.

The bad situation of starvation, illiteracy, semi-feudal and semi-colonial, and the backward production structure, are in extreme danger.

But why did those idealists succeed?

Later he thought about the words on the Monument to the People's Heroes.

From this, the heroes who died in previous struggles have been immortal since then, in order to oppose internal and external enemies, to strive for national independence and people's freedom and happiness.

He understood.

Because the country and nation have experienced a hundred years of high-intensity oppression, exploitation and war, the old path has gone through.

So my ancestors walked all the ways they could walk, and they walked in a mess, with pits everywhere, and they fell to their noses, faces, and bloody faces. Finally, when they were dying, they finally discovered which path China should take.

The old road has been gone, and the other roads have been blocked by pioneers and cannot be done!

The blood is about to dry up, and if you don’t take the right path to apply medicine to yourself, you will die!

This is an important premise.

On that road, there are guides, advanced production relations and industrial technology, which is another important premise.

And the Wei Empire has none of these two premises.

I have not gone to the end of my path, but it is like walking on a broad road, which is extremely smooth, getting wider and brighter, and the better the future is waving towards us!

foreign enemy?

All foreign enemies at close distances have been killed, while those at far distances are still behind. Our own production relations and social structure are already the most advanced...

That’s right, we are the strongest, looking around the world, invincible!

The country is in a strong period of upward development, and people are working hard to produce more production materials to obtain a better tomorrow.

Social contradictions were temporarily reconciled and class contradictions were greatly alleviated. This was all due to Mr. Guo himself.

At present, the Wei Empire is extremely strong, with neither internal nor external driving force.

But at this time, Mr. Guo raised his arms and shouted, asking everyone to look up at the sky, so that everyone knows that there are no gods in the sky, only the sun, moon and stars that are formed naturally!

The emperor is not the emperor, he is just a ruler!

Isn't this like a lunatic?

Digging a grave?

So Guo Jin, who represents the most advanced production relations of this era, questioned him.

Father, what are you going to do?

Father, are you going to destroy the foundation of our Wei Kingdom?

Father, are you going to rebel?

Guo Jin didn't say anything, but his meaning was already very clear.

The wheel of history seemed to roll on the fork in the road again, and the father and son stood at the intersection, and every word and action could determine which direction the car was heading and what ending it would have.

After sighing deeply, Guo Peng laughed out loud.

This day has come.
Chapter completed!
