This conversation between the Eastern and Western academic sects was quickly sorted out by Zhao Ji and became the headlines of the Daqin Times.¤This conversation that began with Fengming Academy was like a powerful bomb, and the aftermath was still unabated until the beginning of the Hangu Meeting.

Aristotle's words were like opening a window in front of the Oriental scholars. When the Oriental scholar poked his head out of this window, he realized that the outside world was so beautiful.

A country where citizens elect the head of state and can be removed at any time seems ridiculous to Oriental scholars. In addition to ridicule, many people will call a big "?". Is this true that Aristotle said? The Greeks would not be beheaded in this way?

What kind of country was Greece? Was the Greeks a group of madmen? Bai Zi actually said in the newspaper that this mad country has a brilliant civilization that is not inferior to China? Their laws are so detailed that they can regulate every merchant ship on the Aegean Sea?

The Chinese who advocated rituals and music and feared the kings obviously could not accept the "citizen system" mentioned by Aristotle, because it seemed like a foolish word, and no one understood why the Great Qin Times vigorously promoted this scholar from Greece at this time. Perhaps the citizen system mentioned by Aristotle was very excellent and had been verified by the Greeks for thousands of years, but after all, it was in Greece, and when they came to China, they would definitely not be able to adapt to the local conditions. Bai Zi was not wrong with the people valued by the Zhou emperor and Qin, but even he should not seem to be hype this kind of Legalist thought that was incompatible with China in the newspaper?

Is Bai Zi going crazy? He is ten thousand times more crazy than a Legal figure like Wei Yang, Shen Dao and Shen Buhe! At least a madman like Wei Yang and Shen Buhe also knows that he should respect the monarch and everything should be based on the interests of the monarch. Aristotle's remarks are simply a rebellious thing. If he were not a Greek, if he was not a guest of Bai Zi, he would have been beaten to his head long ago.

However, people soon discovered that Bai Dong was the only one who was crazy. The first person to jump out to support Aristotle was Yang Zhu. The famous pre-Qin academic community Yang Dazui praised Aristotle's civic system and "democracy" idea as "the predecessors were not found, and the public opinion was first corrected." Anyway, it was just something that was nice to say, and he wanted to praise Aristotle as a flower.

Qin Huaxi immediately wrote an article in the Great Qin Times to support Aristotle. The Mohist school advocated love for the world with both sides. What is universal love? It is different from the love between relatives and the love between the emperor and the ministers of the superiors and subordinates. In order to achieve this goal, the Mohist school could participate in wars and engage in assassination! In the view of Qin Huaxi, the "Greek democracy" advocated by Aristotle was out of the deepest love for the general public! Who would support it if the Mohist school did not support it? As for the Greeks' various mistakes such as despising women to exploit slaves, they were just small matters. Just be righteous!

When Shen Dao also began to publish a column in the "Qin Times" and began to re-examine the citizenship system proposed by Aristotle from a critical and mining perspective, the pre-Qin hundred schools of thought were finally in an uproar. Because no one would have thought that Shen Dao, a representative figure of the Legalists, would actually support some of Aristotle's views. Is it true as Aristotle said - "A advanced legal system will sooner or later replace old ideas"? And in the face of such changes and substitutions, any powerful force will be unable to stop it?

Shortly after Shen Dao's article was published, Shen Buwei and Wei Yang, who were also the three Legal scholars, seemed to have discussed it. They also began to publish articles in the Great Qin Times. Although the criticism was even more intense, they began to admit that the Greek civic system had its advantages. This change shocked the Chinese academic community. You should know that a few days ago, these two were still cursing Aristotle's arbitrary?

Bai Dong is actually very able to understand the changes of the three Legalists. The Legalists have always been the largest "ambitious" among the hundreds of schools of thought. The Legal figures in this era are even more enchanting and full of imagination. In this era when the hundreds of schools of thought contend with the great scholars and valuations, they are actually more bold than the legalists two thousand years later. However, they were limited by their knowledge and could not even think of the true rule of law. Now that Aristotle, the "foreign monk", pierced the last layer of window paper, if they still can't figure it out, it will be a waste of this huge name.

Of course, the democratic system of ancient Greece was not perfect, but this did not matter. At least in some aspects, it has surpassed the insights of the Chinese Legalists, and it is enough to act as a catalyst.

Bai Dong wants this result. Now he wants to change the legal system of China is like a fool. Even Bai Zi will die even worse than Wei Yang in history. However, it is not dangerous to plant a seed in the hearts of Chinese people through Aristotle's mouth. As the exchanges with the West increase in the future, this seed will sooner or later take root and sprout and improve itself...

This may be a hundred years later, or five hundred years later, when Baizi was gone, but what does it matter?

Shortly after Shen Dao and the other two published the article, Ying Quliang, who was already in Hangu Pass, called Bai Dong overnight and asked: "You guy is right, but now you even Shen Dao speaks out. Are you trying to change the attitude of the Legalists and secretly implement the Greek citizenship system? Ping Anlang, can I continue to be the monarch of Qin in the future? Whether the emperor is still in the Zhou Dynasty or not is determined by these civilians? This is your repayment to your father and me? This is what you call to make Qin dominate the world within fifty years?"

First met Bai Dong from the Hexi camp, and the king and his ministers had been in contact for more than ten years. This was the first time Ying Quliang talked about Bai Dong so fiercely. The reason was that Bai Dong promoted this big discussion in China behind the scenes, and was simply to cultivate Aristotle, an alien scholar, as an academic star. As the discussion became more and more intense, Aristotle's influence became increasingly greater, and the Emperor Zhou and the princes of various countries felt like they were on pins and needles. In Ying Quliang's view, this bullshit civic system was simply to dig the winner's ancestral grave!

If Bai Dong is really ambitious, even if he can't bear to take ruthless actions, he will decisively weaken Bai Dong's influence and power, and let this Xijun go home and farm in business honestly, which can be considered as a sworn brother.

"Don't worry, Aristotle said that Greece's citizenship system was so perfect, but she was actually bragging. You can't imagine that this so-called citizenship system was basically based on bloody slavery. What about slavery? That's something that China has long abandoned! Also, this so-called citizenship system is based on a city-state system, and can be implemented in a city. If it is changed to another country, it's too difficult, and the Greeks have never done it. But Master Meng is not clear about these, otherwise he will be able to refute Aristotle severely!"

"Pinganlang, I am increasingly confused about what you are thinking. Since you are not interested in Aristotle's 'democracy' and 'citizen system', why do you still have to promote it in the Great Qin Times? Now even Wei Yang actually says that the Greek laws have their merits?"

"Your Majesty, since the Qin Dynasty controlled Persia, China has been no longer a closed China. What is the purpose of gathering the princes of the world in the name of the emperor? It is for the West and for the more distant new continent! Since there must be intersections in the future, why don't we let the Chinese schools understand Greece, understand the Aegean Sea, and even understand the Romans in advance? It has to be admitted that the Greek democracy and the democracy system has its advantages, and it has been gradually improved for thousands of years. The Chinese Legalists are finally a little behind compared to it.
