Although the Mo family has outstanding mechanical capabilities, after so many years of destruction, how much real strength does it have left?

This is something worth considering.

But it's not difficult for Wang Bu to be hungry. It's a mule or a horse. You can tell by pulling it out for a walk.

The Academy of Sciences fully accepted the Mohist craftsmen.

But it is not a matter of rejecting all comers, but your works will be accepted according to the list.

You have to come up with something convincing first, and then you will be qualified.

"Master, can't you just ignore us???" Liu Ji looked at his master in panic. At this moment, he even wanted to die.

"Yes, Master, now that the projects have been handed in and His Majesty has agreed to them, now the Mo family says they will no longer support it. What should we do?"

What was originally said was good, and they all followed the arrangements above.

It turns out that I'm fine now, the knife is on my neck, but you told me not to fight?

They are just a little apprentice.

It would be okay if one project failed, but the credit was blown, and now all projects are facing failure.

To put it bluntly, isn't this destroying their future?

"Hey, it's not that I won't help you, but I can't do anything for you now..." The old man looked at his disciples with a speechless face, and felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.

"Master..." Liu Ji's eyes turned red anxiously, and tears could not stop rolling from his eyes.

"No one can do anything about this now!" The old man spread his hands and continued: "The notice I just received has been negotiated with the imperial court. All the Mohist craftsmen will be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. From now on, the Mohist family will no longer participate, including all

The classics will also be handed over to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will arrange for people to copy and engrave them, and select some of them as teaching materials for the school."

"As for us craftsmen, we currently have to follow the instructions of the Academy of Sciences. Although the specific news has not been released yet, the news told to me by the above is not optimistic."

Several people suddenly widened their eyes, where are you playing?

This happened all of a sudden?

Are you shameless?

Are you going to let people live?

What about trust between people?

"The Academy of Sciences will assess all craftsmen, and each one must show their true skills. Then the Academy of Sciences will conduct a rating and determination."

“The project can be completed by one person, or it can be completed by everyone working together.”

"But if there is cooperation, there can only be one master, and the others are all secondary. It is said that the level will be determined according to the rating of the project. The master will determine the level according to the rating, and the rest will all be ninth-grade trainee researchers...

"

Having said this, the old man looked at his student helplessly.

To be honest, he was very reluctant to part with it.

These students have made a lot of progress after following Wang Ji for two years, and they have been exposed to many things.

Although the types of technologies mastered by the imperial court were not as good as those of the Mohists, among the only types of technologies the imperial court mastered were the most advanced technologies.

So from these aspects, these students of his are not weak.

But now, it's a pity...

"The plan can't keep up with the changes. Previously, the idea from above was to push you all the way up, but now the above can no longer make the decision, and the craftsmen who were originally arranged to work for you in secret are all skilled craftsmen. With their abilities, with

It’s absolutely fine for your own apprentice to start a new project.”

"So, now everyone hopes that they can work on a project, and then the rating can be set higher. The official status is still relatively attractive to us craftsmen..."

In fact, everyone is helpless about this matter. Who is to blame?

No one can blame them, it can only be said that they were unlucky.

There were no such messy things ahead, so those skilled craftsmen would naturally follow the Mo family's arrangements to carry them up.

—————

But now the higher-ups no longer care about them and have completely handed them over to the court. So why should those skilled craftsmen follow you to do this project when they already have the ability to get better treatment?

What do they get after doing it?

A trainee researcher from the ninth grade?

is it possible?

It's simply impossible. It's like a university professor privately helping his students solve a difficult problem in the project, and the professor doesn't need to become famous for it.

We all are our own people, so the professor will naturally not care about you.

But when this project is completed, the professor will become your subordinate, and the level is much lower than yours. Would you like it if it were you?

The only thing to blame is the evaluation rules given by the imperial court. This directly tells everyone that those who are capable can lead the group themselves, and those who are not capable can just follow and get killed.

Will the big guys follow you guys and get killed?

And there are more than one or two?

Liu Ji's side was better. His project was to conduct an on-the-spot investigation on the agricultural yields in Shu County. Anyway, the project had been approved. At worst, all he had to do was file a report and apply for manpower. He could still finish it if he worked harder.

The same goes for Cheng Yi. He wants to run to Jiangxia County, and his goal is similar to his own.

Others are the worst offenders, directly targeting the forging machine. Although they were not originally targeting it, they are now unable to get off the horse.

As for why the imperial court formulated this rule, it is actually in line with the current environment.

Although the Mohists had the concept of the assembly line, it was based on the experience of industrial mass production, and the only place where it had been practiced was in the State of Qin.

Now Dahan no longer needs it, because they have developed an improved version based on this, making it more scientific in terms of personnel and equipment configuration, and maximizing the release of production capacity.

And for craftsmen, what is a craftsman?

What is a skilled craftsman?

To put it bluntly, it's very simple. Those on the assembly line are called workers.

A true craftsman can use his own hands to create something from scratch, from zero to ten, without anyone's help, and can complete a thing by himself, with high quality.

This model was not eliminated in the early years of industrialization in later generations. Even in the 21st century, it has only been eliminated by 99%, not 100%.

On the contrary, in those days, the price of purely handmade things was actually more expensive.

Would you say the quality is better?

Not necessarily.

On the contrary, certain processes and attention to detail are dozens of times better than mass production.

Maybe what is being sold is emotion.

Therefore, it is precisely because most craftsmen in this era are independent that the court gave such a rule.

Cooperation will be certain in the later stages, but first a group of truly capable craftsmen must be screened out, and then other issues will be considered.
