"May I ask the king, why are there four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter? Why does the sun come out of the east and set in the west? ”

The five questions asked by the second disciple last time, Zhao Xie did not answer them at that time, and now Huang Tingjing wants to ask them one by one.

In ancient society, "the sky is round and the place is round" is people's perception of the universe, for these problems, first of all, we must overturn the ancient popular theory of "the sky is round and the place is round", which involves the earth, the sun, and the moon.

More than 2,000 years ago when science and technology were backward, if this aspect was to be said, it would be too advanced and too shocking, Zhao Xie had already thought about this problem before, and the knowledge he would say in the future was limited to the earth.

"The skills that the widow knows, some of them are studied by themselves, and some are the help of Haotian God, the two questions you asked, Haotian God has not yet instructed the widow!"

For Juzi's question, Zhao Xie will answer selectively.

Huang Tingjing asked again: "Ask the king, where is the place where we are on the earth?" Why do all the cold winds blow from the north? ”

Zhao Xie immediately drew on a large piece of paper, drew the seven continents and the four oceans, and then drew the land of China based on the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and circled a small circle in the northeast of the land of China to indicate the location of the state of Zhao.

He pointed to the small circle and said, "Zhao Guo is in this position!" The closer the north is and the more difficult the south is, the colder it will be! ”

Zhao Xie also spoke of the natural phenomenon of "cold air", pointing out that cold air forms in the north of Bisaibei in winter, and when the cold air moves south, it brings cold, rain, rain and snow to the places it goes.

Listening to King Zhao's explanation, Huang Tingjing thought about the situation in the past winter again, and sure enough, this was the case.

Huang Tingjing looked at the big map, the world is so big, which refreshes the previous cognition. At present, only a few people know that the former Qin State came out of the northeast, and there was a country called "Yue's Country", and in the southernmost part was South Vietnam. As for where the Yue Kingdom is further west and Nanyue is further south, no one knows at all.

"The grass people ask the king, how did the 'cloud' appear? Why are they divided into 'dark clouds' and 'white clouds', and why do clouds rain? ”

Huang Tingjing's questions continue to arise, and today is the day he has gained the most on the road of knowledge search, and it is the most exciting day in his life.

Zhao Xie then explained the formation principle of clouds and the classification of clouds in a popular way.

Huang Tingjing was even more surprised when he learned the answer.

He then asked, "Excuse me, my lord, why is it that the water that you see is not deep, but it is actually very deep?" ”

This involves the problem of light refraction, Juzi has been immersed in it, he can't stop, Zhao Xie's purpose has been achieved, and it is time to stop.

"Mr. Huang, thanks to the guidance of Haotian God, the widow is fortunate to know this kind of knowledge, your questions are too many, and the widow has not had time to ask Haotian God in his dream. In the past, I had a lot of doubts, when I was lucky, I could see Haotian God in my dreams, and I would ask Haotian God in my dreams when I thought about the questions during the day, and as long as I was asked, he would answer them. However, when you can dream of immortals, this is not something that a few people can control. It's better to be like this, Mr. Huang, you stay in Zhao Kingdom, if you have any doubts about your skills, you just ask, as long as you are lucky enough to dream of Haotian God pointing out the maze to the widow, the widow will tell you as soon as possible. ”

This is Zhao Xie's way of keeping Huang Tingjing, anyway, when to answer the other party's questions and what questions to answer, he is in control, and he says a little bit every once in a while.

Unless Huang Tingjing doesn't want to learn new knowledge, how can he be willing to leave.

When he heard King Zhao say that the immortals had not yet informed him, Huang Tingjing felt a little lost, but he was full of hope, and he could continue to solve his doubts through King Zhao in the future, even if King Zhao did not propose it, he would take the initiative to ask to stay.

"In this case, if the grass people stay in Xiangguo for the time being, they will inevitably harass the king in the future!"

"Mr. Huang, you are a great talent, with superb skills, and you still hope that you can serve Zhao Guo!"

After talking for a long time, only this sentence is Zhao Xie's ultimate goal.

Before the meeting, Huang Tingjing had already thought that if King Zhao did not accept the Mohist ideology, the meeting would be limited to technical exchanges.

Of course, he very much hoped that King Zhao would accept Mohist thought, so that he could not only find a place to implement Mohist thought, but also stay by King Zhao's side and continue to learn.

For more than 200 years since the establishment of the Mo family, the Mo family has promoted ideas and propositions in many countries, but when it was helpless, no monarch of any country has accepted it, which has made the Mo family more and more discouraged in this regard, but some of the Mo family's inventions and technological achievements have been effectively used.

Huang Tingjing said: "King, may I ask what you think of the Mo family's 'love' and 'the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light'?" ”

For this question, Zhao Xie had already been prepared and replied: "The widow agrees with the Mo family's 'love', and the law can make it possible for the prince to commit the same crime as the common people. ”

Huang Tingjing was immediately overjoyed in his heart, and his heart was even more excited.

Immediately, Zhao Xie changed his words and said: "Although the widow agrees, if it is to be implemented, it is completely unrealistic. In all the countries of the world, the princes will be different from the common people, and if there is no difference and equality, the country will not be a country. Even in the era of slash-and-burn farming thousands of years ago, humans had tribal leaders; Even social animals have the highest leaders. Although the Mohist 'love' has good intentions, it has been divorced from reality, and the widow is the king of a country, so it cannot be implemented. ”

Zhao Xie spoke very tactfully, first agree with you, and then point out the problem.

Huang Tingjing's original excitement immediately turned to disappointment, but fortunately, he himself did not have much hope, and there was no monarch for more than two hundred years, so how could he expect the current King Zhao to implement it.

I only heard Zhao Xie say: "I hope that God Haotian can guide him in his dreams, if he thinks it is feasible, he will let Mr. Huang serve as the prime minister, lead the Zhao dynasty, and promote Mohist thought." ”

Hearing this, Huang Tingjing's disappointment calmed down slightly, the Mo family itself believed in ghosts and gods, and he was convinced of the help of King Zhao and Haotian, and hoped that the gods could support the Mo family.

This is Zhao Xie's means again, how Haotian God guides the maze in his dreams, it is not up to him to decide, and he will answer some questions about Huang Tingjing in a few days, and by the way, Haotian God's views on the Mo family will be able to persuade him to serve sooner or later.

The wisdom of ancient people is not inferior to that of modern people, and the foundation of all this is all thanks to the modern knowledge that Zhao Xie has in his head as a traverser.

Huang Tingjing asked again: "Dare to ask the king, why did you invade Yan Kingdom?" ”

From the perspective of the people, Mo opposes the rulers to increase taxes and kill innocent people regardless of the lives of the people, and opposes attacking the innocent country and advocating a peaceful life.

Zhao Xie said: "It's not that the widows invaded Yan Kingdom, but that Zang Cha killed Han Guang, the king of Yan, and the people hated it, and hoped that the soldiers of Zhao State would eradicate the guilty people, which was in line with the hearts of the Yan army and the people." The Mohists hoped that the people would live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing, and that the widows would serve the people wholeheartedly, and implement tax reforms that would benefit the country and the people. Let Zhao Guo's benevolent and virtuous government benefit the people of Yandi, isn't this in line with the Mohist ideology? ”

This is simply a quibble, but Huang Tingjing couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

Zhao Xie said again: "Liu Bang, the king of Han, successively annexed the five kingdoms of Yong, Zhai, Sai, Western Wei, and Dai, and sent Han Xin to invade my Zhao country, he is the real sinner." ”

At the mention of Liu Bang, Huang Tingjing looked disgusted, and said heavily: "Liu Bang has repeatedly made unrighteous acts, and I have strictly ordered all ink people not to contribute to the Han Kingdom, and those who violate it will be expelled from the Mo family." ”
