Ten carts of bamboo slips, in fact, there are not even 20 books, about 800,000 to 900,000 words.
Moreover, there are many annotations written by descendants of famous figures on articles by Gongsun Longzi and Huizi. Although there are many words, their value is greatly reduced.
As the core, "Gongsun Longzi" does not have many volumes at all.
The inventory and transportation outside are completed.
Lu Yan also sent the Gongsun family to the door of the mansion, "Master Gongsun, my mansion is very empty now. There is no problem in temporarily storing the classics. After reading the books, I will ask someone to send them back."
Gongsun Ren Fuxu said with a smile: "People say that swords are given to heroes, so these classics must also be accompanied by talents. My family will live in Zhao Guo Posthouse for the time being, and these classics will be kept here first."
"Master Gongsun, walk slowly."
Lu Yan watched the family walk away and shook his head, "These Gongsun family members are indeed not very simple-minded."
He looked at the sky and called everyone back, "Go in first, I have to go to Jiangzuo Mansion later."
Ju Shuang asked: "Why do you say that someone's mind is impure?"
"Anyone who understands the general trend of the world knows that the Qin State is the only strong country, but the Qin State is in the most weird time right now. He, a member of the Zhao State, and his whole family came to the Qin State just to exchange books with me? I don't believe this."
Liang Yi walked beside Lu Yan and agreed, "Your Excellency, you are right. The Gongsun family is seeking fame and profit, especially Gongsun Ren. They are not easy to deal with. But his two sons are pretty good."
Lu Yan also remembered, "I was about to ask, what's going on with the famous family now? Why is there no one in charge?"
Liang Yi explained to several people: "Ever since the death of Huizi, the ancestor of the Hui family, one generation has become worse than the other. Nowadays, in the Wei State, they only occupy one or two empty posts in the court, and the theories of famous scholars have long existed in name only.
As for the Gongsun family, since Gongsun Longzi has been prominent, after all, there is still some shadow left. Gongsun Ren is not bad in intelligence and has some reputation in the world and in the court. He can barely be regarded as the leader of a famous family."
The teachings of famous scholars do not serve politics, but are a kind of philosophical speculation. What they debate is the relationship between "name" and "reality", that is, the relationship between concepts and material reality.
The upper-class people were not interested in this theory at all, and most people could not understand it at all. Later, famous scholars were labeled as "sophists" for two thousand years.
My family can’t do research thoroughly, no one understands what I say, and no one listens carefully. Alas~
Lu Yan could only sigh with emotion. The decline of famous people was inevitable at this time. Even if another dragon appeared, it would not be able to save it.
Although the Gongsun family got Lu Yan's notes on "White Horse Theory" and "On Name and Reality", they were not as excited as expected.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gongsun Yuan asked tentatively: "Father, isn't this a happy thing? Why are you so depressed?"
Gongsun Ren asked: "I moved my family to Qin. Do you know why?"
Gongsun Qian replied: "Since the Shang Dynasty, the Qin State has conquered six countries and continued to expand its territory. After the Changping War, it has the capital to dominate the world. My father wanted to attach himself to the Qin State in advance. But now is the opportunity.
…”
"The legal system of Qin has determined that once the king reaches adulthood, he will have unparalleled political advantages. Even Confucians have recommended Lu Yan to the King of Qin. Therefore, in this situation, I am optimistic that the King of Qin will win. But my Gongsun family will always
Doing something can be regarded as a declaration of surrender to Qin."
Gongsun Zuo seems to be responsible for taking care of specific affairs. He told the recent news in the court, "Before, Zhao and Yan jointly resisted Qin. Now Cai Ze said that King Yan has Prince Dan to challenge Qin. Yan should be
Return to the side of Qin State. But here in Qin State, Zhang Tang, the Prime Minister of Yan, has been late in leaving, but Gan Luo has long been sent to Zhao State as an envoy. There must be something wrong with this."
"In the past few years, Lu Buwei made plans, Yao Jia broke up the alliance, and the Qin State defeated the three Jin Dynasties until they could not take care of themselves and expanded their territory countless times. Gan Luo was recommended by Lu Buwei to be sent to Zhao State, obviously to take advantage of the relationship between Zhao State and Yan State
Make a fuss."
Gongsun Ren naturally knew that Gan Luo had bad intentions when he sent the envoy, and then he said to several people: "Last year, Lu Xiang compiled "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" and sent people to visit my famous family. When we came to Qin, we naturally wanted to visit him.
Meet Mr. Lu."
He glanced at Gongsun Yuan who was holding his notes again, "Remember to bring Lu Yan's notes with you when you visit."
…
Lu Yan went to the General's Mansion, but unexpectedly he didn't meet Gong Shuqiu. The old guy went to the Lieutenant's Office.
The lieutenant is in charge of public security in the capital, and there are a bunch of subordinate officers below him, including the arsenal order in charge of weapons manufacturing.
Gong Shuqiu wanted to build a machine beast, and metal couldn't be avoided, and salt and iron were the lifeblood of the country. He should have gone to the arsenal order to ask for metal.
In the lieutenant's office, Gong Shouqiu was demonstrating his overbearing machine crossbow.
I saw a young man wearing a dark green metal crossbow on his right arm, with a rotating quiver inside.
"The armor-piercing crossbow designed by my overbearing organization can shoot automatically in bursts, and the arrows can penetrate the wood five times. It is an absolute battlefield weapon."
Gong Shuqiu introduced it and signaled that the demonstration could begin.
A group of officials from the Lieutenant's Office were watching nearby.
The arm of the crossbow popped out with a "click", and with a sound, an arrow was drawn, and ten of them were fired one after another. Looking at the wooden target, most of the arrows were submerged.
"Hiss—" gasps of air arose from all over.
Crossbows are available in all countries. The crossbows in the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army at that time were even made of full alloy.
Gongshu Qiu's crossbow is also made of alloy, but its automatic bursts are terrifying, and its penetrating power is amazing. It is indeed several times stronger than the current crossbows of the Qin State.
"I will produce the blueprints and technology. When the crossbow is produced, it will also be the work of the lieutenant. What do you think?"
The lieutenant also knew that the Qin State had always attached great importance to armaments, and that Gong Shuqiu, with his domineering tactics, would become an important figure in the Qin State in the future, so he immediately praised him.
A soldier came to report: "Sir Lieutenant, the Imperial Counselor is here to see you. He says he is here to avenge you."
Um?
Gong Shuqiu was very surprised. Lu Yan was born in a Confucian family. What would he do with him, a man who builds battlefield killing machines?
The lieutenant personally brought Lu Yan in and introduced them to each other.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Mr. Gongshu, I have admired your name for a long time."
Lu Yan's eyes were bright and he asked the old man to touch his bare head.
I just stayed at home and mastered the art of machine learning. Where did the famous name you have admired for so long come from?
"I wonder what the Imperial Master has to do with me?"
"Of course I want to see the domineering mechanism technique." Lu Yan was a little excited. Building airplanes and Transformers during the Warring States Period was so exciting.
The lieutenant immediately said, "You, please demonstrate it to the Imperial Master again."
The man obeyed the order, put on his quiver, and fired ten arrows in succession again. Lu Yan was a little surprised when he heard a series of shooting sounds.
This is...an automatic pistol...a magazine with ten rounds...
Haha, if he knew that there were even missiles coming out of the sea, I wonder what he would think.
Lu Yan thought of the machine beast he had heard about digging the Zhengguo Canal, and asked: "I heard that Mr. Gongshu demonstrated the digging in the court that day... Poto Ichiro, I want to see him."
Even Lu Yan admitted that he was a trap beast, and it was fun to lose his grudge. Moreover, the other party had once defeated the Mo family, which made him even more happy. So he readily agreed: "Master Imperial Master, if you want to see Toichiro, you can naturally do it. But this meeting did not bring any
I am with you, and I would like to ask the Imperial Master to speak to me at home."
Seeing the two of them leaving, the lieutenant held up his hands and said, "Mr. Gongshu, I will report the quantity of metal you want immediately and send it to you as soon as it is approved."
"Thank you, Lieutenant. Sir, please."
Lu Yan was already thinking about how to give him the concept of overbearing machine skills. Wouldn't it be good for machine skills to develop productivity? How many battles can be fought if he thinks about fighting all day long?
Unbeknownst to Gongshu Chou, the Imperial Master was already thinking of completely transforming Podo Ichiro into an excavator...
