In this manor, Liu Che inspected the entire extraction process and flow of Eucommia gum.︾︾,
Then, Liu Che called Yang Yi to his side and ordered: "Zizhong, next year, I want to produce one thousand kilograms of Eucommia gum. Do you have any questions?"
Of course no problem!
The Mohists are also very curious about Eucommia gum now!
This magical material, which can be extracted from the bark, rhizomes, fruits and resin of the Eucommia tree, fascinated the Mohists.
It is very elastic and has very high plasticity.
The Mohists have now come up with many ways to use it.
The only regret is that its production is very small.
One thousand Eucommia trees can produce only a few hundred kilograms of Eucommia gum annually.
And it is also very difficult to extract these Eucommia gums.
However, the emperor is willing to spend money.
Then this difficulty is no longer difficult!
So Yang Yi immediately patted his chest and promised: "Promise! Everyone in the Mo family will live up to His Majesty's trust!"
"Good!" Liu Che nodded with satisfaction and said, "This year, I will allocate another 10 million yuan to fund the extraction of Eucommia gum and the expansion of Eucommia seeds!"
In fact, this place is not the best Eucommia production area.
The Qinling Mountains are the most suitable place for Eucommia ulmoides to grow.
However, the Qinling Mountains are now restricted areas and natural chasms.
Moreover, the transportation is inconvenient and it is difficult to get in and out.
Therefore, we can only choose to cultivate Eucommia ulmoides near the Qinling Mountains.
"No!" Yang Yi was overjoyed when he heard this.
For scientists, what kind of emperor do they like best?
Of course he is the emperor who is willing to spend money on them to conduct experiments regardless of the cost!
In the past four years, the emperor of the Han family spent tens of millions of money on the Moh family.
Among them, half of the research projects are still stuck.
For example, further purification of colored glaze, experiments on various chemical reactions, and extraction of sulfuric acid.
These research and development projects are all currently stuck in bottlenecks, and each point of progress takes several years.
But the emperor is still happy with it. Moreover, he is not stingy about spending money.
The whole Mo family was really happy and miserable at the same time.
Now, up and down the Mohist family, every Mohist is shouldering several projects.
I was so busy all day long that I didn't even have time to breathe.
There is very little time for daily "poverty alleviation" in poor areas.
Fortunately, recently, the Mohist family reluctantly obeyed the emperor's advice and introduced hundreds of disciples.
These disciples were all the nephews of the princes' relatives or the children of local powerful men.
Everyone is a big dog and a wealthy person.
With the resources of these disciples and the help of their families, the Mo family could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, if you get something, you have to give something.
After the Mohist family received help from the nobles and powerful people, they naturally had to make some concessions and compromises to them.
Fortunately, the Mohist family had similar experiences in its history.
They know how to coordinate and deal with such issues.
The Mohists would make concessions on trivial issues that had nothing to do with principles. For example, in order to cater to the nobility and landowners, the Mohists would make certain theoretical adjustments.
For example, "love all but not attack", change the definition and scope of application, and make it clear that it only applies to Zhu Xia, "all love but no offense", but not to Yi, Di and barbarians? They are not considered human beings, they are just animals walking on two legs. Naturally, they have no human rights.
Another example is frugality, which has changed from an iron rule to an advocate.
Mohism no longer requires Mohists and disciples to go barefoot and wear raincoats, but encourages everyone to still maintain the style of hard work and thrift.
Of course, the higher-ups of the Mohist family still have strict requirements. They must abide by the precepts, not indulge in extravagance, and are not allowed to own private property. All property belongs to the public.
This is the Mohist self-defense mechanism at work.
Another example is festival burial. Although the Mohists still advocate and require their disciples to have festival burials and do not allow elaborate burials, they no longer require their disciples’ families to do the same.
After all, opposition and government are two different models for all schools of thought.
When they were in opposition, Confucianism and Legalism, for example, would shout the slogan "Support the peasants and eliminate the poor" and shout to beat and kill the merchants.
But when they come to power, you will find that regardless of Confucianism and Legalism, they actually love and hate businessmen, a particularly tangled contradiction.
Also like Mr. Huang, when he was in the wild, he kept quiet and did nothing, looking like a master from the world and not eating the fireworks of the world.
However, after taking charge of the government, he was very cannibalistic!
After such compromises and adjustments.
In front of the nobles, nobles and landowners, the Mohists were no longer so hateful and terrifying.
Even the Mohist three-table method (old and new), as well as Shangtong, Shangxian, Minggui, and Tianzhi, have won the favor of many nobles and landowners.
Facts have proved that every school of thought that has survived from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present must have strong adaptability and tenacious vitality.
As long as the rulers do not act sideways and beat them to death with a stick, they will also kill them all.
They will naturally evolve corresponding development directions and theories based on actual needs.
This is like the person in later generations who claimed to represent the workers and peasants, but ended up flirting with the capitalists, having an affair, and even vaguely becoming the last stronghold of capitalism.
This is a good proof that there are no unchanging ideas and theories, only the ever-changing people and social reality.
Those who cling to the old rules and refuse to let go, such as the famous Yang Zhu School, have long been eliminated and extinct in the long river of history.
Which one of those who can survive to this day is not a human spirit?
The Mohists, who advocated "universal love and non-aggression", were once an important part of the Qin Empire's war machine...
The total number of Confucian scholars who could not help but rush to Hanguguan while shouting "tyranny is stronger than tigers" could circle the earth. Even after Qin Shihuang burned books and enslaved Confucian scholars, the Confucian scholars around Qin II were still full of scholars.
It can only be said that the vast world is filled with all kinds of strange things, and there are no shortage of them.
And Liu Che was already used to it.
Today's Mohist family has gradually entered the state that their predecessors entered a hundred and fifty years ago.
In the final analysis, a school of thought, a system of thought, wants to survive, wants to develop and grow. It wants to make a difference.
You can't be dogmatic or stick to rules.
Compromising in the face of reality is an inevitable choice for a mature political group.
In China, there has never been a place for idealists and extremists to survive.
This country, from the beginning to the infinite future of eternity, must only be a secular country.
The biggest characteristic of a secular country is that no matter what matters, including religious beliefs and ideological theories, everything must be faced with secular services.
Today's social reality is that this is a feudal dynasty, and it is a feudal dynasty dominated by militarism and extremely enterprising.
Even the Mohist family needs to face this reality and make compromises.
Liu Che looked at Yang Yi, patted the latter's shoulder, and encouraged: "Work hard, Zi Zhong! I am very optimistic about Qing and Qing's school of thought!"
Yang Yi was immediately moved, his face flushed, and he bowed excitedly: "Your Majesty encourages me, and everyone in the Mo family is grateful and willing to die for your Majesty!"
……………………
After leaving the manor, Liu Che got on the carriage and headed to Ganquan Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial I just received..." Wang Dao handed over a pile of memorials and placed them in front of Liu Che.
These are today’s key points after screening by Wang Dao and Lantai.
Liu Che sat down and looked through it.
"Hoo hoo ho..." After looking at the first one, Liu Che started laughing: "Chen Xu, Chen Jiao brothers are such a pair of treasures!"
After these two guys went to Huaihua, they gave Liu Che one after another surprises.
The two demon kings and second-generation ancestors from Chang'an arrived in Huaihua and quickly completed the transformation from second-generation ancestors to imperialists, which was unexpected by Liu Che.
However, it’s right to think about it.
The devil incarnate. He is a scumbag with no scruples and no moral and ethical concepts.
They were fighting cocks and running dogs in Chang'an, playing various gentlemanly games, oppressing the people, and doing all kinds of evil.
After leaving Huaihua, they naturally did not change their nature.
He is still unscrupulous, has no scruples, and does all kinds of evil.
However, the targets of their evil deeds became Yi Di, Japanese slaves, Xianbei, Wu Heng, Fuyu, and Ding Ling.
Therefore, they went from being demon kings to becoming the backbone of the nation.
This is also in line with the imperialist setting.
For the imperialists, domestic oppression and external cruelty are their characteristics.
If you suppress imperialism at home, of course they are scum, bastards and bastards.
But you let them out and bite.
Then they will tell you that the second generation ancestor can also be very powerful.
Just like the Western bandits in later generations in Europe.
They were in Europe, robbing homes, killing people, setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil.
But after leaving the sea and traveling around the world, he instantly became the savior of Europe and the savior of the world.
This time the two brothers made another big news.
Now, what was placed in front of Liu Che was the memorial from Bo Shi, the governor of the Andong Protectorate.
Bo Shi mentioned one thing in the memorial: Chen Xu reported that he had a border patrol team that disappeared a month ago and was suspected to have been attacked by Xianbei or Dingling people. Therefore, in order to rescue his patrol team, Chen Xu's Western Commandant's Yamen mobilized all the troops, and more than 3,000 Zhenfan and Korean troops also came to support Wang's division without hesitation.
Chen Xu said that in order to rescue his "loyal patrol", he decided to search the west and north in winter. He vowed to cut into pieces the corpses of Yi Di who dared to challenge "the majesty of the Han emperor".
Therefore, he asked Bo Shi to approve the dispatch of him and his army of western captains.
Then……
Chen Jiao didn't know how she heard the news, and also reported to Bo Shi: I also lost a patrol, and the direction was the same as where his brother's patrol disappeared.
Moreover, Chen Jiao also said that after the news came out: all the people and civilians under the rule of the northwest captain were filled with righteous indignation, and it was difficult to go against the will of the people. In the end, the general had no choice but to lead the army to search...
All right!
Isn't this trick of losing soldiers or expired maps a common trick used by the imperialist hegemonists in later generations?
Besides, the acting skills of these brothers Chen Xu and Chen Jiao are terrible.
Liu Che didn't need to check at all to know that these two guys wanted to make big news!
And the reason used is simply a reason that I don’t even bother to cover up.
Chen Jiao simply chopped it off first and played it later.
His reasons are barely acceptable!
After all, if the patrol team is lost, there is nothing wrong with killing it first and telling it later in order to rescue!
It can't be said that if the Han army encountered an attack on the border, the defender would have to report to Chang'an first before he could decide whether to fight or make peace, right?
The saying that only the Tiger Talisman can mobilize troops refers to the hinterland.
The frontier garrison, the highest military commander, has the power to use troops as appropriate and act expediently.
I will be outside, so I will not accept your orders.
What's more, he also made a supplementary report.
"These two living treasures..." Liu Che shook his head. How much strength can Chen Xu and Chen Jiao have? Liu Che still doesn't know?
"Immediately order the protective army to mobilize. Once Chen Xu and Chen Jiao have police, they will immediately dispatch rescue..." Liu Che put the memorial aside and ordered.
I hope these two living treasures don't stir up trouble.
Then again, Liu Che remembered that it seems that two days ago, Chen Jiao submitted a letter requesting to come to Beijing to report on her work?
Suddenly ‘lost the patrol’ so soon?
Just lie!
"Tell the Prime Minister, please write to the Governor of Andong Protectorate and order him to come to Beijing to report on his duties in April of summer!" Liu Che added.
Bo Shi has been in Huaihua for almost three years.
In Liu Che's plan, he still had a term of at most two years. Liu Che would never let someone control the position of the Governor of the Anton Protectorate, which was in charge of a huge territory, for a long time.
Therefore, letting Bo Shi go to Beijing to report on his work was not only to better understand the local situation, but also to select a suitable successor in two years' time.
As for the poor world.
He did a great job in Huaihua!
Liu Che has reserved the position of guard for him.
Liu Che has even chosen the candidate to succeed Governor Anton.
Lieutenant Zhi is absolutely suitable!
Probably only Zhi Du can suppress these two living treasures, Chen Xu and Chen Jiao, after the bad times.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Liu Che continued to read the next report.
This report is even more interesting.
Liu Che took it in his hand and read it three times.
This is a report sent back from Panyu, South Vietnam, a month ago. The reporter is Taihou Meijuan, the grandson of South Vietnam.
Mei Juan reported that another merchant ship claiming to be from poison appeared in Panyu Port.
This time, is it a real Indian merchant ship or a fake?
Liu Che held his cheek and thought for a while. Finally, he came to a conclusion: Whether true or false, this at least proved that an ancient waterway did exist. Merchant ships from the distant Indian subcontinent could indeed set sail from the Indian Ocean and cross it. The Strait of Malacca, from Indochina to the South China Sea.
"Let the South Vietnamese side escort the relevant merchant ships and merchants to Beijing immediately!" Liu Che made a decision and ordered.
In any case, any information from the Indian subcontinent or its adjacent areas is extremely valuable.
It will tell the Han Dynasty a lot of precious information about the current Indian subcontinent and Central Asia.
The next report is also very interesting.
"Ji Xin..." Liu Che looked at the report from the Xiuyiwei sent back from Handan, and a smile appeared on his lips: "I almost don't remember such a person... However, this former knight-errant giant, You really gave me some surprises... homing pigeons... haha..."
"Send an order to Handan, ordering him to pass on my oral instructions and order Ji Xin to enter the court!" Liu Che said. (To be continued.)
