1099 Remaking the Path (1/2)
Chapter 1099 – Remaking the Path
9th month, 2nd day, Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City.
In the next week, the world gave birth to numerous dynasties, including the House of Tudor in England, the Romanov Empire in Russia, the Indian Empire, the Persian Empire, and the Arab Empire.
Although some were known as empires, they were still dynasties, and only the name was different.
Everything was as expected, which was why Ouyang Shuo did not pay much attention to it. The only thing was that when the House of Tudor established its dynasty, he arranged Atlantic Squadron Fleet Admiral Alvaro over to congratulate.
During the following period of time, more dynasties would probably be born. The global landscape would start to be split up, and the situation would become clearer.
If things happened as Ouyang Shuo expected, apart from Great Xia, the dynasties that were able to exist in the wilderness would either be from Silver Hand or from the Academic Faction.
This was not anything good for Great Xia.
”Time does not wait for me!”
Ouyang Shuo gazed at the south sky as his ambition and fighting spirit grew.
...
9th month, 9th day, Xinan University.
Just as the world situation was changing, Shanhai City that stood at the center of the world appeared really calm. They started another day like nothing had occurred.
Within the Debate House in the southwest corner of the Xinan University, things were unusual.
Within the hall, Kong Zi, Lao Zi, Mo Zi, Han Feizi, Sun Wu, Gui Guzi, Zou Yan, Hui Zi, Lu Buwei, Xu Xing, Zhang Zhongjing, Li Bai, Cao Xueqin, and other leaders of the various school of thoughts sat at the front.
Meng Zi, Zhuang Zi, Shen Buhai, Yang Zi, Zhang Yi, Xun Zi, Lie Zi, Shang Yang, Shen Zi, Gong Sunlong, Gao Zi, Tian Pian, and other grandmasters of the school of thoughts sat in the middle.
Behind them were the 500 odd disciples who were the core of their school of thoughts.
Such a power could pretty much represent the core of China's ideological thinking. Only Great Xia had the ability to gather them all up.
At 9 AM, Ouyang Shuo appeared in the hall.
”Greetings my king!”
Regardless of whether they were working for Great Xia, secluded in Great Xia, or living around within the Great Xia territory, they all stood up and bowed.
This was the respect toward the ruler of the wilderness and also respect toward the orthodoxy of Great Xia.
Ouyang Shuo did not show any bit of pride. After calming himself down, he signaled for them to take their seats, ”In terms of knowledge, all of you are my teachers, do not hold back.”
The moment he said those words, Lao Zi and the others calmed down.
Ouyang Shuo's humble attitude won the recognition and good impression of these people. People like Lao Zi, who came over just to give face to Jiang Shang, Kong Zi, and the like, did not truly respect Great Xia.
”After all of you appeared in the wilderness and summarized all that you have seen and heard, I guess you all would have new thoughts and learnings.” Speaking of this, Ouyang Shuo took a look at Kong Zi, and his eyes were filled with deep meaning.
Since Kong Zi remade and remodeled the old Confucian classic, many years had passed, and he had probably had new gains.
Ouyang Shuo continued, ”Between the various school of thoughts, through different debates and discussion of ideas, your ideologies have been improved; this is the blessing of Great Xia.”
The philosophers did not understand what Ouyang Shuo was talking about.
