Mo Ranchen was a little confused when he saw Li Lizhi standing in front of him with a concerned look on his face.
"I kept calling you just now, but you didn't answer, so I was a little worried." Seeing that Mo Ranchen was fine, Li Lizhi looked much calmer and explained.
"Don't worry, my master is the Master of Tongtian. Even if he dies, he will still be there. He is an omnipotent saint." Mo Ranchen said nonchalantly.
Mo Ranchen's words did not reassure Li Lizhi. After all, Mo Ranchen was just an ordinary person who begged him to take him in. At that time, Mo Ranchen was polite to everyone. Li Lizhi even suspected that Mo Ranchen was the big man in trouble.
The children of the family, but I don't know when, Mo Ranchen became arrogant. No matter who faced Mo Ranchen, Mo Ranchen would always look at him with a good attitude if he liked him. If he didn't like him, he would ignore him at all.
.
Regarding Li Lizhi herself, Mo Ranchen's attitude is indeed better. She is a princess with a distinguished status. There are some things she has never experienced, so she doesn't quite understand why Mo Ranchen is like this.
Li Lizhi returned Mo Ranchen's cell phone. She had watched some plots. Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao met again, but Li Xiaoyao had forgotten Ling'er and her grandma was dead. Their story had just begun, but Li Lizhi didn't
I hope the subsequent plot is like this.
She was a little afraid that in the later plot, Ling'er would die to save Li Xiaoyao. That was pretty much what she saw in the ending song. Just like Baguio in Zhu Xian saved Zhang Xiaofan, this story was destined not to be a happy one.
Mo Ranchen answered Qin Shenzi's call and saw in the background behind him a group of craftsmen busy doing research, as well as some mechanical equipment.
"Qin Shenzi, before this, didn't the Mohists think about joining the world?"
This is what Mo Ranchen has always been curious about. Although the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism now exist side by side, there is no situation where other schools of thought cannot survive. However, Mo Ranchen has not found any news about other schools of thought throughout history.
, but the Baijia Holy Land is right at the gate of Chang'an.
"Senior brother, the Mohists did think about joining the world before. However, at that time, Confucianism had already joined the world and became the first among the hundreds of scholars. Moreover, there was also a scholar, peasant, industrialist, and merchant. The Mohist disciples were also craftsmen when they joined the world, so they could only be ranked third. Confucianism
But they are nobles, we can't compete with them at all."
Qin Shenzi cried when he recalled the sad history of those years. Most of the disciples of the Mohist family just liked to work hard and were not good at intrigues in the court. Sometimes, they even counted money for each other after being sold.
"That's it. However, since it doesn't work in the court, have you tried to think of a way among the common people? Perhaps, one or two geniuses can enter the court and occupy a seat with the help of the Mohist family. After all,
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a system of three provinces and six ministries, and there was a Ministry of Industry. This must require a few craftsmen, right?"
Mo Ranchen looked at Qin Shenzi doubtfully. In fact, he had many questions in his heart, such as why other schools of thought did not join the world, such as the medical school, which allowed Sun Simiao, a Taoist priest, to become the miracle doctor of the Tang Dynasty.
"There is no way. Craftsmen are always inferior in the court and have no right to speak at all. Our people can only be marginal figures. In addition, the core disciples work hard. Only disciples who are not good at the Mohist mechanism will be sent out. However,
, because most of us really don’t have much interest in the outside world, which results in our influence on the court becoming smaller and smaller.”
Speaking of this, Qin Shenzi was also a little embarrassed. Many people in the Mohist family were accustomed to a peaceful and peaceful life. For example, during the turmoil of the Sui Dynasty, the Mohist family could not go out in seclusion. During the social turmoil again and again, the Mohist family did not go out.
"Then why are you planning to join the world now?" Mo Ranchen was curious.
"Well, talking about this, I am also very ashamed, because we are not good at fighting for power in the court, and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism suppress other schools of thought, so our Mohist family's status in every dynasty is not high, so this is
As a result, we Mohist disciples
Thin, the Mohist family has not recruited good seedlings for nearly three hundred years. If a force wants to last for a long time, it cannot do without fresh blood. Therefore, we thought that we could find one for the Mohist family during this opportunity of hundreds of families joining the WTO.
Way out.”
Qin Shenzi sighed, he only regretted it now. If he had joined the world earlier, maybe he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"I see, it's not easy for the Mo family. The Mo family is famous all over the world for its mechanical skills, but they still can't recruit people. By the way, you don't usually do research, right?" Mo Ranchen suddenly thought of something. How many mechanical skills are there for the Mo family?
Important, isn't it obvious?
"Yes, our goal is to make the machine skills more powerful. We usually think about making the swords sharper, the crossbows to have a longer range, the production of steel to increase, and the defense and attack of the siege vehicles. The most important thing is the machine beasts.
Through research, we have been working hard to make more powerful machine beasts so that we can recreate the glory of the Mo family."
Thinking of the Mohist family in the past, Qin Shenzi's eyes shone. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a Mohist weapon would be envied by all countries. The Mohist family's status in everyone is no less than that of the Confucian family. However, recently, the Mohist family's status has been far behind.
"Let me guess, you are working hard and have not publicized these machine skills at all. After all, the machine beast is expensive and no one can afford it. Moreover, selling weapons is illegal. If we find out, the Mo family will be finished. I think
You want to do business with the royal family, but in the end, the military strategists will benefit, so you have been dedicated to research and never thought that you could change your way. Am I right?"
Mo Ranchen had indeed never heard anything about the Mohist family in the Tang Dynasty. It was obvious that the Mohist family was in seclusion and had gone out.
"Brother, you are right. The Mohist family is indeed what you said. As the times develop, the king of a country has more and more control over the country, and he continues to suppress those who rebel. We can indeed make stronger
Weapons, but for this reason, we have the strength to make the king of a country fear us, so we will also attract the fear of the king of a country. Under such circumstances, it becomes more and more difficult for the Mohist family to make a living by weapons. It becomes more and more difficult to accept disciples.
It will also be more difficult.”
Qin Shenzi looked bitter. This is the biggest dilemma of the Mo family now. They are not strong and have no ambition, but they can create more powerful weapons. Isn't this kind of force the king of a country likes to suppress most?
When the dynasty was unified, the emperor wanted to make the Mohist family his own. How could the Mohist family be controlled by others? After all, they had to establish a sect like Confucianism. However, just because the Mohist family did not have this ambition, they wanted to
Being suppressed, the various disciples of the Mohist family discussed it and left resolutely.
However, after so long, the Mohist family is indeed free, but this comes back again. How can the Mohist family flourish if they have no fresh blood?
We have to join the WTO. Now is not a good time. It is a time of peace and prosperity, and it is ancient times. How can you, who invented weapons, compare with others who developed literature?
"So, the Mo family is at its most critical period now, so we ask senior brother to help the Mo family."
Mo Ranchen thought for a while and asked: "Have you ever invented agricultural machinery, such as machines that can help cultivate land, or fully automatic vehicles that can carry people without using horses or oxen, machines that can automatically harvest grain, and navigation
Machines that benefit the people, such as ships and airships, can be used as long as they can increase people's production and life."
If farm tools are upgraded, farmers' lives will be much easier. In ancient times, the whole family relied on a piece of land to live, and they also had to account for taxes and other expenses. There were also daily necessities to consider, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation. People's lives were not good.
Fully automatic farm tools can liberate more farmers, and they will also have the opportunity to work as other workers and make some money. Of course, these cannot solve the fundamental problem, but what we are considering now is the issue of the Mohist family's entry into the WTO. Other issues are
Something the emperor should consider.
"We haven't done it before. We are dedicated to the machine beasts and only care about the nobles. We don't care about the lower class people at all. However, what you said is not difficult. Others should take a while to make. The airship is still a bit difficult.
, but it just takes a little more time.”
Qin Shenzi shook his head. He knew what Mo Ranchen meant, but he still asked: "But it is useless even if you have a great status among the people. Only those scholar-bureaucrats have the right to speak."
"No, the common people account for more than 90% of the total population. If the Mohist family can be recognized by the common people, it will be simple for the Mohist family to join the world. By then, what do you still care about the less than 10% of the scholar-bureaucrats? Can you?
Can the person in power still control what the people think?"
Mo Ranchen told Qin Shenzi the importance of the common people. The most numerous people in the world are common people. If you want to win the world, you must gain the support of the common people. At the same time, it is the emperor's responsibility to make the common people live a good life. If the Mo family
If the common people can live a better life first, then the Mohist family will naturally be recognized by the emperor. Since it can be recognized by the lower and upper classes, and there are not many people in the middle class, there is no need to consider it.
The Mohist family entered the world with the purpose of recruiting disciples and passing on Mohist ideas, not to gain power and care about the scholar-bureaucrats.
Mo Ranchen was once one of the ordinary people. He knew the suffering of ordinary people. Young people like him in the new century did not care at all whether they lived or not. Whether they died or not, they could live happily or die early and live happily.
If you are happy, everything will be fine, and if you die early, you won't have to worry about it. This is what Mo Ranchen thinks.
When he resolutely chose to become an immortal, he also hoped to have a good background so that Mo Ranchen could wait for death. He didn't care about fighting for power.
