Chapter 81: The Mo Family
January 3rd.
Outside the east gate of Xiangguo, two people wearing short brown coarse cloth clothes came here in the dust.
The older man, who was in his fifties, looked eager, had a goatee, and was stocky, and at first glance he could tell that he was a handicraft practitioner.
The other was about twenty years old and appeared to be an elderly retinue.
The young man said: "I didn't expect that there are such divine people in the world!" ”
The elder said, "If it weren't for Bi Li's own handwriting, I wouldn't have believed it." It seems that it is because of the help of God Haotian. ”
This person is the current Mo family son Huang Tingjing, he was originally in the Qi State, and later set off to go to the Chu State, and soon after entering the territory of the Chu State, after receiving the letter from the second disciple sent by the Mo people, he set off to come. Mo was diligent in studying science and technology, and encountered many unexplained problems, and he eagerly hoped to get answers from King Zhao's mouth.
King Zhao's quest for talent has made him know, and it is estimated that after seeing King Zhao, the other party will definitely offer to stay and follow, and then find out whether King Zhao accepts the ideological proposition, if not, then politely refuse.
The younger one was Huang Tingjing's youngest disciple, named Gan Li.
Gan Li said: "Juzi, the ability of the gods, naturally extraordinary people can compare." ”
"Ming ghosts" is an important idea of the Mohists, which believes that ghosts and gods not only exist, but also can reward and punish good and evil in the world.
King Zhao claimed to have been helped by God Haotian in his dream, if it was just a simple slogan, few people would believe it, but King Zhao has repeatedly done amazing things, and more and more people believe that King Zhao really has the help of gods.
Huang Tingjing said: "Yes! We also have to go through King Zhao and use the gods to make our skills go to the next level. ”
——————
In the palace, Qian Yun, the servant of the ministry, was reporting the situation to Zhao Xie.
"My king, since you issued the order to seek talent, people from various schools have come to vote one after another, there have been more than 20 people, most of the ministers have personally assessed, and there are seven people who can be qualified for lower-level petty officials, and they have not yet found great talents, including many mediocre talents who are indiscriminate!"
All the people who come to vote are generally responsible for the officials, and unless they have outstanding talents, Zhao Xie will meet in person.
In order to let the people who came to join have a better place to live, Zhao Xie vacated the Lu Tian Mansion that was originally confiscated for the people who came to vote, and there was good food every day. After these people were officially appointed by the imperial court, their private residences were arranged.
For those mediocre talents who come to eat mixed rice, after being assessed by the officials to determine that they cannot be appointed, they will be driven out, and the court does not want those who eat idle meals.
After discussing for a while, the chamberlain came to report that the Mo family had arrived.
Zhao Xie was overjoyed in his heart, and he had been looking forward to Juzi for a long time, and now that he had finally come, he ordered someone to bring him to meet immediately.
Under the leadership of the chamberlain, Huang Tingjing came to the study.
"Meet King Zhao!"
Huang Tingjing saluted to King Zhao.
Zhao Xie looked at this famous Mo family giant and looked at the other party carefully.
In the ideological proposition of the Mohists, they are more concerned about the working class and are in the company of laborers, even if they are a giant, they look no different from ordinary laborers, if they didn't know their identity in advance, Zhao Xie really thought that Huang Tingjing in front of him was a worker.
Zhao Xie said politely: "Mr. Huang, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I will finally see it today!" Please! ”
Huang Tingjing sat down on the side cushion.
After a little greeting, Zhao Xie said: "The widow thanks to the help of God Haotian and learned a lot of knowledge. ”
He first put himself in the active position, and it was the Mo family who came to ask him for advice.
Among the many members of the Mo family, the comprehensive technical attainment is the highest in Juzi, and maybe the Zhuge crossbow can be built, and the Mo family will inevitably need to participate in the vigorous development of science and technology in the future.
As for how to persuade Huang Tingjing, Zhao Xie had already thought about it and had it in his mind.
Huang Tingjing said: "King, may I ask what you think of the Mo family's 'love'?" ”
He was obviously very anxious in his heart, hoping that the technical problems would be answered from King Zhao's mouth immediately, but he still held back and asked this question first. He had already thought about it when he set off, if King Zhao did not approve of the "love and love" advocated by the Mo family, he would limit himself to technical exchanges with King Zhao.
Zhao Xie said: "Mr. Huang, can you talk about technical matters first, and postpone other other issues?" ”
Huang Tingjing said: "King, then I will be bothered a lot!" ”
Anyway, sooner or later, you have to ask him a clear question, and it doesn't hurt to postpone the conversation.
"Ask the king, sometimes there is no wind, why is there wind when running, the faster the speed, the faster the wind!"
Huang Tingjing first threw out this question.
Zhao Xie asked, "Sir, do you know the question that the widow answered with your second disciple a few days ago?" ”
Huang Tingjing said: "He has told me in the letter. ”
Zhao Xie said: "Sir, since you already know that there are three forms of matter: solid, liquid, and gas, it is easy to explain. When you swim in the water, do you feel the water stopping you from moving forward? ”
Huang Tingjing nodded.
Zhao Xie said again: "This is the 'resistance' I want to talk about. ”
Resistance? Hearing this word, Huang Tingjing was fresh and surprised, the last time King Zhao said the words temperature, solid, liquid, and gas to his second disciple, presumably the word resistance will also have its inner truth.
"When we are on the ground, surrounded by shapeless gas; When you are in the water, you are surrounded by a liquid that has no shape in size. When you want to move, a gas or liquid will block your progress, and that's resistance. Gases and liquids are divided into two states: stationary and flowing. When the gas flows, it forms the 'wind' that everyone knows, and when the flowing gas moves, moving in the direction of the wind is a tailwind, and vice versa, it is a headwind, and the same principle is true for liquids, which are divided into ...... and
For many scientific and technological terms, there are professional explanations in modern times, but if the original words of modern explanations are spoken, it is difficult for people in this era to understand, and Zhao Xie explained them in the most popular way.
Huang Tingjing listened attentively to Zhao Xie's explanation, and his brain received the knowledge that "Haotian God taught to King Zhao".
"When the air is not moving, it is a windless state, and there will also be resistance, and the faster it moves, the greater the resistance......"
Zhao Xie explained in detail.
In terms of science and technology, Huang Tingjing has a very strong desire for knowledge, and King Zhao's explanation to his second disciple last time and to himself this time has opened up a new world for his understanding of all things in the world.
At this time, Huang Tingjing was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge, listening attentively to Zhao Xie's explanation, which subverted the truth of human cognition and kept him in shock.
When Zhao Xie finished explaining, Huang Tingjing still stood in place in a daze, as an ancient person, it takes a process to receive and digest new knowledge.
Zhao Xie was not in a hurry, and sat on the ground and drank a sip of hot tea.
New knowledge echoed in Huang Tingjing's mind, and at this moment, it occupied all the space in his brain, and when the palace maid came in to add tea, he didn't know it.
Zhao Xie is not in a hurry, the more the other party is engrossed, the more intoxicated he is, the more he can be bound by himself, and the more he can stay for his own use.
After a while, Huang Tingjing came back to his senses.
