He took a step forward and asked, "Does the Mo family still have the spirit of loyalty and courage today?"
Yang Yi kowtowed and said: "Going back to my family, the Moh family today is the same as it was then, and it has not changed!"
Liu Che laughed and thought: Did you jump into the pit?
He immediately asked: "Sir, please teach me, why did the Mohist family help the Qin Dynasty, but did not serve in the Han Dynasty? Is it because the Han family is not as rich as Qin Su? Is it because my Han family's moral character is lacking? Or is it?"
As soon as these heart-wrenching words came out, Yang Yi immediately started to sweat and didn't know how to answer.
He had no choice but to lower his head and said: "I don't know something at home. The Mohist scriptures that the common people have learned only talk about instruments and objects, and do not seek to shepherd and govern the people..."
"Haha..." Liu Che laughed. This was also the reason why most of the Mohist disciples refused to serve as officials.
We just want to be a technology nerd quietly...
But what about reality?
The Mohist family's failure to become an official in the Han Dynasty involved many reasons.
There are the Mohist's own obsession with cleanliness, the Confucian's making things difficult and slandering, the ruler's distrust, etc.
But the biggest reason is that fifty-three years ago, that is, the second year after Liu Bang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, a major event occurred that affected the rise and fall of the entire Mohist family.
Tian Heng, the last direct royal family of the Qi Kingdom of the Tian family, committed suicide thirty miles east of Luoyang and offered his head in front of Liu Bang's case.
This incident deeply affected the public opinion and thinking of the entire Han Dynasty.
To this day, from the princes and nobles to the common people and slaves, at the funerals after death, either Xielu or Songli are sung.
For example, the moment Liu Che was reborn, what he heard in his ears was Xie Lu.
Both of these elegy were composed by Tian Heng’s disciples to mourn Tian Heng.
After Tian Heng's death, Liu Bang also shed two tears and ordered Tian Heng to be buried according to the royal rites of the Warring States Period. He also appointed Tian Heng's two accompanying subordinates as captains.
Then, something happened that shocked the whole world.
The two subordinates of Tian Heng committed suicide in front of Tian Heng's tomb on the day Tian Heng Lingshu was buried. The other followers and slaves of these two subordinates also died following their masters.
Of the dozens of people who accompanied him, not one of them managed to survive, but they all died.
That’s all!
The news spread back to the island where Tian Heng once lived in seclusion.
More than five hundred of Tian Heng's diners, subordinates, disciples and followers on the island, regardless of age or sex, all committed suicide.
This incident deeply affected the entire ideological and cultural circles of the Han Dynasty.
In the decades since then, when mentioning Tian Heng, one has to say "virtuous". Even in Qilu, there are many temples dedicated to Tian Heng.
For the Mohists, their biggest loss was that the great Mohists and a large number of Mohist elites at that time died following Tian Heng.
This directly caused the Mohist school to lose its spiritual leader and mentor.
The remaining disciples scattered around the world had to go their own way.
What is even more troublesome is that because the last Juzi did not designate an heir before his death, this caused the Mohist family to begin to split, with no one obeying anyone.
And because of Tian Heng's death, the remaining Mohist disciples became stubborn and determined. They vowed to imitate Boyi and Shu Qi and not eat Han grain.
This is the fundamental reason for the decline of Mohism in the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che also lived with Yang Yi for seven or eight years in his previous life. He accidentally learned about this secret matter of the Mohist family from Yang Yi's chatter.
As for the Mohist family betting on Tian Heng, there is nothing strange about it.
At that time, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was great chaos, and all the schools of thought would choose one force to be loyal to.
The relatively unscrupulous Confucians even changed their allegiance to three people (Chen Sheng, Wei Bao, and Liu Bang).
Tian Heng was very much in line with the Mohist family in terms of his conduct and personality.
Thinking about this matter, Liu Che knew very well that the Yang Yi in front of him was the horse bone from Qianjin City Horse Bone.
As long as he can successfully deceive Yang Yi and convey his goodwill towards the Mo family.
As long as there is such a step down.
Then, Mohists all over the world would flock to seek refuge, hoping to rely on Liu Che to revive the Mohist school and recreate the grand occasion when the Mohist school and the Yang Zhu school were side by side, overwhelming hundreds of schools of thought.
Don't think that people from the Mohist family don't want to be officials or have power.
Don’t you see, after Mo Zhai, the Moh family first relied on the Chu State, and then took refuge in the Qin State?
If nothing else, people in the Mohist family want to play with instruments, study chemistry, physics, and explore the truth of the world. Can they do it without the support of the state?
If you work alone, no matter how talented you are, you can never come up with any earth-shattering technology.
In his previous life, Yang Yi realized this and chose to defect to Liu Che.
After all, the world is moving forward.
Be it Confucianism, Mohism, or Legalism, they are all seeking to change themselves to adapt to the world.
It's just that compared to Confucianism and Legalism, Mohism has more integrity. It has principles and cannot tolerate unethical flattery and flattery.
"Haha..." Liu Che smiled and said to Yang Yi: "It is also a great way to examine objects with instruments!"
"I want to build something, take water from the rivers, irrigate the fields, so that all the acres in the world can be cultivated!" Liu Che said eloquently: "I want to get something, get something beneficial to millet from gold and stone, and sow it in the world.
, to double the yield per mu!”
"Gu Geng wants to build a tool and use animal power to pull it. Dozens of acres of land can be cultivated in one day to make the people happy!" Liu Che looked at Yang Yi. In his previous life, Yang Yi was persuaded by him in this way.
But in his previous life, Liu Che only talked about a waterwheel.
In this life, as the prince, Liu Che's ambitions are naturally greater.
Not only do we need to develop waterwheels, but we also need to develop new agricultural tools, such as plows, shovels, threshing machines, etc., and we also need to develop a primitive fertilizer industry!
Travelers with a little common sense know that there are natural fertilizer raw materials in nature, such as potassium, phosphorus, nitrate, etc.
Especially for phosphate rock, China's reserves are not low and there are many phosphate rocks that can be mined in the open pit.
As for phosphate rock, Liu Che knew that even without purification, it could be used as fertilizer as long as it was ground into powder.
Of course, all of this requires a large number of intellectuals and elites to invest in the research and development of science and technology, and it also needs to change the long-standing ingrained contempt in people's hearts for strange and skillful techniques.
Liu Che knew very well that this was an arduous battle involving changing customs, and the difficulty was no less difficult than the Northern Expedition to the Huns and capturing Shanyu alive.
Even if he is a prince or even an emperor, he can only cross the river step by step by feeling the stones.
Accepting and accommodating the Mohists into the political arena is the first step!
Yang Yi, a technical geek, was stunned by what Liu Che said.
According to the Mohist Three Tables method, the three things mentioned by Liu Che are all based on historical evidence. Once developed, they will be immediately welcomed by the people. At the same time, they will be beneficial to the world.
"Promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harms of the world!" Yang Yi is a young man after all, and his blood is hot. After listening to Liu Che's grand blueprint, he immediately kowtowed and said: "If the family does not treat the common people as vulgar, the common people are willing to do it."
These three members of our family will die!"
Liu Che laughed after hearing this.
Yang Yi has fallen into his trap, and he has finally reversed the situation in which the Mohists were absent from the political arena.
So, Liu Che said: "Good, Mr. Gubai sacrificed his life for the prince and is solely responsible for presiding over technology development!"
Liu Che showed a smile and said: "Please sir, please tell the world's ink writers that I want to set up an ink garden in Sixian Garden and recruit all the world's ink writers..."
Since the Mohists can serve Chu, Qin, and Tian Heng, they can naturally also serve Liu Che.
As for what if someone from the Mohist family gets Mary's disease?
The king of Chu could accept it, and the king of Qin could accept it. Is it possible that no one can bear it now?
When it comes to temper, who doesn’t have a little temper?
Liu Che considers himself to be very broad-minded.
Yang Yi said happily: "No, I know!"
In fact, Mohism is not as terrible as Confucianism says.
As a school of thought before the Christian era, although it was a bit advanced and advanced, in essence, it was still an ideological school based on feudal society.
Mohism also talks about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and trust. Of course, Mohism’s loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and trust are basically the opposite of what Confucianism advocates.
………………………………
After settling Yang Yi down and asking Wang Dao to take him to familiarize himself with the various workshops in Sixian Garden, Liu Che set off for Weiyang Palace to report the matter to the emperor's father.
To Liu Che's surprise, his emperor father just said "oh" and said nothing more.
His carefully prepared words were like a punch to cotton.
But Liu Che didn't know that the prince of the Han Dynasty recruited heroes from all over the world. This was the idea of the Han Dynasty in establishing heir apparent.
Although the Mohists are not very popular with mainstream public opinion.
But it is not a first-class cult that is explicitly prohibited.
They also belong to a legal school of thought recognized by the imperial court, and can freely study abroad and recruit disciples.
Except for Confucianism, which reacts excessively to Mohism, other schools of thought actually don't matter...
Like the Legalists, the Qin Dynasty's Legalists and Mohists worked well together.
What the Huang Lao School says is that it is not illegal, even if you poke a hole in the sky, I won't bother to care about you.
At this time, among the Confucians, except for a few Ph.D.s, there was really no one who could make a difference.
Therefore, the fact that Liu Che recruited a Mohist disciple was just a sign that the prince was young, curious and wanted to see everything.
Nowadays, public opinion between the government and the public still likes Liu Che, the prince.
Think about it, this prince doesn't play around with women, he doesn't lead people around and trample crops, and he doesn't kill people in the city.
Instead, he did what a prince should do in a serious manner.
Diligent and eager to learn, not ashamed to ask questions, approachable, and never did anything he shouldn't have done.
Can you wish for more?
Of course, Confucianism almost flipped the table in anger.
Several old-school Confucian scholars in Chang'an were so angry that they ate an extra bowl of dinner after hearing about this incident...
Then, it was like a pebble dropped into a lake, causing some ripples and then quickly calming down.
Even Yan Yi, who was born as a Confucian, behaved normally and did not come to Liu Che to protest.
It made Liu Che suspicious for a while before he finally realized that in the eyes of most people, Liu Che just found a technocrat.
The Mohists have stayed away from politics for more than fifty years, and many people have even forgotten the Mohist ideas and ideals...
The most important thing is that now, everyone is paying attention to the movements of Wu Jun on the front line, and there is no time to care about whether the prince is looking for a different kind of Mohist disciple...
After Liu Che understood these things, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, Old Farmer Huang..." Liu Che looked at the structure of his ministers and laughed: "Does this mean that all the heroes in the world have been put into my jar, and all the schools of thought are at my disposal?"

ps: I seem to have broken my promise yesterday~ Sweat~
Ahem, my credit rating is zero~
Damn it, I didn’t expect such a situation~ These two chapters were too difficult to write~ I have revised them repeatedly, but I still can’t satisfy myself. In addition, recently, I have been thinking about whether there is something wrong with what I wrote. Subscriptions are like diving. Same~
To be honest, yesterday I had worked up my fighting spirit to write more, but when I saw the subscription, my heart dropped~
It dropped to just over 1,000 in 24 hours.
For a history book with a collection of 30,000 pieces, it’s really pitiful~
Of course, the problem should be with me. The update is not good enough. Maybe the plot is not written well. I saw a lot of people complaining about it.
I reflected on it myself, and then ran to read other huge historical articles.
I feel like, when I reached the 1 million word mark, I was a little overwhelmed.
There are too many things I want to write, but not enough writing power~
Well, I'll try my best, try my best not to be sloppy, and try my best to come up with some interesting plots.
It's just that history is difficult to write. Usually, to write one word, you have to read three words of information. To be honest, it is difficult to balance between quality and update quantity~
Having said all this, of course I am not shirking responsibility.
Now that I have eaten the code word, I know where food and clothing come from. The ancients said that eating the emperor's salary is the most important thing to be loyal to the emperor. Since I rely on readers' subscriptions to support me, then I naturally want to be worthy of the subscription. readers.
Therefore, I don't keep my words, I don't update well, I feel very guilty, I don't even dare to read the book review section, I don't dare to go to QQ...
