The first thousand five hundred and thirty-third beat
Two hours later, Yang Hui, the ink master in Moyuan who was responsible for the research and development of papermaking technology, came to Liu Che.
Yang Hui was from Chu, and he was born into a family of alchemists.
His family had been in and out of the Qin Palace during the time of Qin Shihuang. They wrote fairy novels for Qin Shihuang every day, describing the beauty of overseas fairy mountains and the carefree life of immortals.
Nowadays, it has far-reaching influence in the Qilu, Wu and Chu regions. The well-known image of Immortal An Qisheng was jointly created by Yang Hui's ancestors and other alchemists.
However, maybe I got too involved in the drama.
So Yang Hui's great-grandfather, grandfather and father all died of heavy metal poisoning.
This is a tragedy.
Especially Yang Hui's father, who died of heavy metal poisoning when he was only thirty years old.
The death of his father deeply touched the young Yang Hui.
He doesn't understand why?
So he left Qilu and planned to go to the alchemist's base camp to find out what happened.
This time, he fell into the pit of Mohism by mistake and was deceived by Yang Yi's teacher. From then on, he became a staunch disciple of Mohism.
This is easy to understand.
On the surface, Mohists and alchemists are natural opposites.
But this is not the case. The two are not only similar in habits. They both like to play with and explore the world, trying to find the truth to explain everything in the universe. The only difference is that one has principles and order (the Mohists have the Three Tables method), while the other likes to think about things.
My eyes are wide open, and I am convinced that what I have learned from my imagination is correct.
For example, the ancestors of the alchemists, Gui Guzi, Mr. Zou Yan, and even the contemporary Japanese master Sima Ji.
Can you call them liars?
Can you prove they are liars?
Does not!
In fact, the thoughts and wisdom of these people have already been integrated into the Zhuxia civilization and have become the blood and flesh of the Zhuxia civilization.
What's more, the alchemists and the Mohists are actually very similar in their three views.
Especially when it comes to dealing with ghosts and gods, they are all similar.
To a certain extent, alchemists are the natural source of apprentices for the Mohists.
In fact, this is also true. Since the Warring States Period, the main sources of Mohist disciples have been alchemists, Huang Lao sect and some children of nobles and wealthy businessmen.
Because the Mohist family can only fool these people.
Only those who have innocent ideas, are firm in their Taoism, and are willing to remain poor for the sake of their ideals and beliefs can become a true Mohist.
It is difficult for other groups of people to accept it, and it is even more difficult for them to abide by the strict regulations and disciplines within the Mohist family.
You have to know that Mohism is like a modern political party, far more than a school of thought.
The Mohist family's rules and disciplines are stricter than the law.
Long before Liu Bang, the Mohists had stipulated that those who kill should be killed and those who hurt others should be punished.
All disciples, no matter who they are, must abide by the rules once they violate them.
Lian Juzi's son violated this rule, and even though King Qin begged for mercy, he was still executed!
Because of this, it is understandable that the number of Mohists is small.
Because the cultivation and growth of every Mohist is difficult.
Just like in Chang'an City, countless young men from well-known noble families thought that Mohist looked cool wearing a raincoat and barefoot, talking about the world's great profits, so they imitated them one after another, wearing a raincoat when they had nothing to do, walking barefoot, and swaggering through the market.
.
Many people even took the initiative to join the Mohists, but few could persist.
Liu Che was also very worried about this, so he gave the Mohists an idea. He asked the Mohists to learn from the Buddhist practices of later generations and create a so-called 'Moshi'.
Anyone who works hard can get a title of 'Moshi' recognized by Mohism.
These Mohists do not need to abide by Mohist rules and regulations. Whether they study technology at home or go out to benefit the people, it is up to them.
The biggest difference between these people and the Mohist disciples is that they cannot participate in the election of Juzi within the Mohist school.
In this way, the Mohists can expand their power, strengthen their influence, and at the same time obtain many stable sources of disciples in the future.
Just like Buddhist laymen, they can always bring a large number of devout believers and even monks to Buddhism.
This Yang Hui is a true Mohist.
Wearing simple coarse clothes and barefoot, he came to Liu Che. With his calloused hands, he bowed deeply: "Chen Hui pays homage to your majesty..."
"Your Majesty, please rise... Please take a seat..." Liu Che knew every Mohist who presided over important experiments and tasks very well. Take Yang Hui as an example. Liu Che knew that he had just become a grandfather not long ago.
"This is my gift to your granddaughter..." Liu Che asked someone to fetch a long-life lock from the palace and handed it to Yang Hui: "Please don't refuse, please..."
After hearing this, Yang Hui was extremely grateful and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I am so grateful that I can only repay your Majesty's deep kindness with the help of dogs and horses!"
With that said, he took the longevity lock and put it away solemnly.
Liu Che said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am a scholar of the country and a treasure of the world. For the sake of the world and the country, you abandoned the happiness of family and threw yourself into the sewage. I am just thanking you for your hard work for the sake of the world..."
"Chen..." Upon hearing this, Yang Hui was so moved that he was speechless.
"Please, please get up first..." Liu Che quickly asked someone to help Yang Hui up. In his eyes, every top ink scholar like Yang Hui is a national treasure and a super master at the level of academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Each of these people is equivalent to an entire troop of cuirassiers.
Science is power.
Every scientific advancement is enough to affect the history of the entire world.
Since the first year of Yuande, under the leadership of Yang Hui, the papermaking and printing technology of the Han Dynasty has advanced rapidly.
Today, Shaofu can produce high-grade rice paper and has initially mastered movable type printing technology.
Now, Liu Che needs Yang Hui to lead his apprentices and work with the Shaofu craftsmen to realize a high-end paper material technology for him and find a simple but practical anti-counterfeiting technology.
Therefore, Liu Che did not beat around the bush and said directly: "This time I asked Aiqing to enter the palace because I have an important task. I want to ask Aiqing..."
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders..." Yang Hui quickly expressed his position: "I will go all out, only for your Majesty's sage wisdom, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Liu Che quickly said: "You don't need to be like this..."
"You still need to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and not to focus too much on work..." Liu Che knew that Yang Hui was a well-known workaholic. Once he got into work, he would sometimes work without sleep for several days.
After all, this is a whole breastplate, the most precious national treasure of the Han Empire!
Yang Hui was moved to tears, and his chest was filled with blood. He just wanted to die for Liu Che.
There has never been a king who treated the Mohists like this. Even the kings of the Qin Dynasty mostly used the Mohists. As for whether they would confide in them? Or even treat them as state officials like they do now?
That's just talking in sleep.
Yang Hui bowed deeply and said, "I will do my best to live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
"Shan..." Liu Che stood up and said: "I would like to ask Aiqing to research a kind of paper or other paper-like creations that are not available on the market today, are extremely difficult for outsiders to imitate, and can be authenticated at a glance.
…”
"This kind of creation cannot be too expensive... In addition, it cannot be copied at will..." Liu Che thought for a moment and then said: "I will grant Aiqing full authority and classify Aiqing's project as a Class A top secret.
If you ask for something, I will let the young master satisfy it with all my strength!"
"Class A top secret?" When Yang Hui heard this, his expression became serious.
Inside Moyuan, there are many levels of secrets.
Class A top secret is the highest level project. Except for Juzi and the person in charge of the project, no one else is allowed to have access to any information and texts on similar projects.
At the same time, the Class A top-secret project is still the one with the most freedom and resources in Moyuan.
You can use and utilize almost any mobilizable Shaofu resources without restrictions.
Any request from the project host must be met unconditionally by the Shaofu.
Even if resources outside the Shaofu are needed, under normal circumstances, the Shaofu Qing will try his best to satisfy them.
Now that the emperor has handed over such a project to him, Yang Hui only feels flattered and has a heavy responsibility.
However, he still had some doubts in his heart.
As the emperor said, a paper or paper-like creation that is not available on the market, that outsiders can easily tell the authenticity of, and that is not too expensive to make, should be classified as Class A top secret?
Are we going to devote all the resources of the Han Empire to research and development?
Isn't this a bit too much?
Following the ancient Mohist teachings and the now improved three-table method, Yang Hui had to ask: "Your Majesty, why did you want to create this thing?"
For a Mohist, the three-table method and its closely interdependent principles are the path they adhere to.
Therefore, the Mohists will not study things that are not beneficial to the world or the people, but are purely for the ruler’s personal enjoyment or hobby.
This is their Taoist heart and the principle they adhere to.
In any case, no matter what difficulties they face, a true Mohist will not change this principle and position to cater to the rulers.
Otherwise, this is not a Mohist disciple and a descendant of Mo Zhai.
Rather, they are aiding the evildoer!
"Since I want you to do this, it is for the sake of the world and the country..." Liu Che looked at Yang Hui and explained to him: "You will naturally know in the future how important the task you have undertaken today is!"
Yang Hui smiled happily after hearing this explanation.
He knew that the emperor would not deceive him.
The emperor has never deceived anyone from the Mohist family. All his previous actions have proven this.
Since it is something that is beneficial to the world and the country, he will naturally do it wholeheartedly.
At that moment, Yang Hui paid homage and said, "I will obey your orders and work hard at night to achieve this goal!"
…………………………………………
Shortly after Yang Hui left, a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, General Chariot and Cavalry would like to see you..."
"Xuan!" Liu Che smiled slightly and ordered to go on. He was now curious about what kind of rhetoric Yi Zong planned to use to convince him?
Yi Zong quickly came to Liu Che and bowed politely: "I pay my respects to your Majesty, my emperor may live forever..."
"General Chaoqiu, please get up first..." Liu Che said with a smile: "I heard that General Chaiqiu has been very busy recently. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he visited everywhere, and the generals and princes also asked to see him. It can be said that there is a bustling crowd and a lot of traffic...
"
When Yi Zong heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
No matter how politically sensitive he was, he could still hear the dissatisfaction and mystery hidden in Liu Che's words.
This is a vague accusation that he is trying to form gangs and form cliques for personal gain.
Party is not a good word in China.
If you are a party member, it will be dark in the hall.
But he couldn't explain it. The more he explained this kind of thing, the more he would lower his status, and might even leave the king with the impression that he was a tough-talking guy who didn't admit his mistakes.
And everyone who makes the king feel like this, no matter how high their status or status is, or how close their relationship with the king is.
In the end, the only outcome is death!
At the beginning, what was the status of Wei Ran, the Marquis of Qin?
He is the uncle of King Zhaoxiang, and he single-handedly helped King Zhaoxiang ascend to the throne. He was the prime minister of Qin for four times and conquered the world!
His achievements are unparalleled.
He promoted and recommended Bai Qi, punched the princes at home, kicked the old nobles, and was majestic abroad, whipping Chu, punishing Han and Wei, and uniting with Qi Dong.
But, everything eventually came to nothing.
Wei Ran's final fate was that he lost his power and died of worry.
Even Bai Qi, whom he recommended, was eventually sentenced to death by King Zhaoxiang.
Yi Zong, who is familiar with history books, will naturally not make this mistake.
He didn't dare to make this mistake.
He could only bow: "I know my sin, and I will never be so arrogant again..."
Liu Che smiled slightly and said: "I just said it casually, please don't take it seriously..."
The more Liu Che said this, the more frightened Yi Zong became. He buried his head deeply and said: "I am just a rogue from the east of the river. Fortunately, Your Majesty did not give up. You consider that I have little ability and make you a general.
Accepting ministers' military and state affairs, and submitting them to His Majesty, he is like a child who admires the kindness of his loving father, working hard and sleeping hard at night, only to die..."
"I hope your Majesty will take notice..."
Liu Che believed this.
Yi Zong's loyalty, at least for now, is unquestionable.
He also had no reason to be disloyal to Liu Che.
Just like the military relatives of Wei Huo in Emperor Wu's dynasty, the relationship between Yi Zong and Liu Che was an unbreakable relationship bound by family affection and kindness.
If Fan Yi dares to have second thoughts, then he will not only kill himself, but also his biological sister and his nephew who is very likely to become the future emperor.
Besides, Yi Zong wouldn't dare.
Therefore, Liu Che just beat him, put him down temporarily, and said: "Okay, between me and the general, there is no need to go around in circles like this. I know the general, and the general knows me, that's enough!"
When Yi Zong heard Liu Che's words, he felt relieved and felt light all over.
What he fears most is that Liu Che continues to call him Qing.
In a private meeting like this, the names that the monarch and his ministers use to each other are very important and can show their closeness.
"Your Majesty treats me with deep kindness. I have no other intention than to serve you to the death to repay your Majesty's kindness..." Yi Zong immediately expressed his position: "For the rest of my life, I only hope that your Majesty can conquer the eight wastes, control the evil, and rule the world.
