Chapter 226 Gu Jiangzi's Decision
"What did he really say?" Yue Shangzhongtian, Gu Jiangzi returned to the secret backyard and reported today's incident in detail. A hint of surprise finally appeared on the face of Gu Jingbubo, a master of the Mohist family.
"Yes, Juzi, this is a good opportunity for my Mohist school to be reborn." Under the suppression of Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and other schools, the Mohist school has been silent for hundreds of years. Now, there is finally such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Gu Jiangzi couldn't wait to persuade Juzi, "Why did Confucianism grow? It's not because they ran schools everywhere, but now more than 90% of the schools are in the hands of Confucianism. The world always needs scholars to govern it, and Confucianism has mastered the power of Zhao Ting Shang through these schools, and even with the honor of the emperor, he has to obey their wishes."
"I know all of these, but Jiazhou Bo only seems to want you to teach craftsmanship skills to the students he selected, and did not let you teach me the Mohist theory. What is the use of this for my Mohist family?" Juzi said slowly.
"If you want to learn the art of craftsmen well, how can you not read "Mozi"?" Gu Jiangzi immediately retorted that the book "Mozi" is profound and contains knowledge of mathematics, physics, and mechanical manufacturing. If you want to become an excellent craftsman, you must understand these principles. "The first and second chapters of "Classics", "Classics", "Great Entrance", "Small Entrance" covers mathematics and instrumental science. If Jiazhou Bo wants to build weapons and build water wheels, he must let craftsmen read these; "Preparing the City Gate", "Preparing the Moth Tuft", "Preparing the Ladder", "Preparing the Punch", "Preparing the High Reincarnation", "Emerging the Enemy Temple", "Preparing the Water", "Preparing the Hole", "Preparing the Order" eleven articles tell the strategies of defending the city. If the war begins in the future, Jiazhou Bo will be happy to teach this. From this, my Mohist theory will spread all over the world."
"These are just minor ways, "Supreme Virtue", "Not Attack", "Enjoy All-in-one Love", "Second Use", "Non-Music Ghost", "Supreme", "Supreme Ghost", "Supreme", "Non-Destiny", "Shengzhi", "Secret Burial", and "Non-Confucianism" are the essence of my Mohism. Even if you can teach what you said, it is just to lose the foundation and chase the end. What's the joy?" Juzi didn't agree.
"Jiuzi, why do you say the same words as those corrupt scholars now? Confucianism says these are strange tricks and tricks. Do you look down on these things either?" Over the years, under the leadership of this Juzi, the Mohist family has not only not developed, but has gradually weakened. Now that they have finally had such an opportunity, Juzi has hesitated again and again. In desperation, Gu Jiangzi's tone of speaking has become a little heavier.
The Mohist school has always been inconsistent with Confucianism. Now Gu Jiangzi compares the master and corrupt scholars, which is also very anxious. Ju Zi said nothing after hearing this for a long time. Over the years, he has been running around many places without any gains. When he arrived in the capital, he still had to rely on Gu Jiangzi and his workshop to support himself and his entourage. He couldn't help feeling guilty.
The objection was just raised because I felt that Gu Jiangzi's approach was not in line with the tradition of the Mo family, but after thinking about it carefully, I did not make the Mo family stronger after insisting on Ruonian's tradition. Now Gu Jiangzi's attempt is a choice; he has a little soft personality and is not suitable to be the leader of one side. Now he is so excited to be Gu Jiangzi, who has experienced a lot in the Mo family, so he gave in again just like he agreed to Gu Jiangzi to follow Li You to go to war. "If Mr. Gu has made up his mind, then go and try it; but the people brought to Jiazhou can only choose from yours, and the other branches will not help you."
"That's enough." Gu Jiangzi didn't think he could get any help from the other branches. "Since that's the case, I will keep the Juzi in this workshop in Beijing, and Juzi will choose the right personnel to take over it. Taking advantage of the fact that I am still in the capital, I will follow me to visit the regular customers so that I can take over the business. Although this workshop is not big, I can earn some silver a year. Juzi has more money, and with this workshop, I can be more affordable."
"This was built by Mr. Gu, you built it in one hand. It's probably forty years now, right? Do you believe that Jiazhou Boss? He even gave up his life's hard work?" Juzi was moved. This workshop was built by Gu Jiangzi when he was 20 years old. It was precisely because of his superb skills and sleek ways of dealing with things that made the name of the capital. Although the store is small, the precious materials, tools, and connections inside are worth tens of thousands of yuan. With Gu Jiangzi's current age, it is almost impossible to rebuild such a workshop.
Now he easily handed over his life's hard work to himself. How could he not move Juzi? He is now very interested in the Jiazhou master. He wanted to see what kind of person could make this Mo family elder make such a decision.
"I'm old." Gu Jiangzi slowly got up and pushed open the window, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, "When my master was alive, there were more than a thousand disciples in my Mo family, but now there are less than eight hundred left. If this continues, my Mo family will die in another one or two hundred years. At this time, I can't take care of so many. Whenever I have a chance, I dare to fight for all my wealth. Can I survive with these with my Mo family?"
"I have had contact with Boduo, Jiazhou these days, and found that this person is very unique and does not look down on our skills like other noble families. Instead, he respects me very much, and is even above those Confucian scholars." Gu Jiangzi slowly recalled the details of Li You's contact with him in the workshop and in Weizhou. "What's even more rare is that he can also draw by himself. Whether it is the previous table tennis ball or the eight-niu crossbow this time, they are extremely exquisite things. If I were not clear about the descendants of the Mo family, I would have doubted which disciple he was."
"If we give up such a candidate, then our Mo family will really have no day to revive." After that, Gu Jiangzi bowed deeply, "Jiuzi, I have decided to lead my disciples to Jiazhou to Jiazhou, and the matters in the capital will be done in the future."
Juzi fell silent again. He remembered that when he first entered the Mo family, there were more than 1,200 disciples, and only more than 800 died and scattered over the years. Perhaps as Gu Jiangzi said, "If you don't change again, the end of the Mo family will really come."
