Chen Xu was taking Hu Kuan, Zhang Cang and others to inspect the open space in the south of the city with a group of craftsmen and craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences, holding a stack of drawings and repeatedly studying how to build the most suitable three buildings planned.

Shaofu can't come up with money at the moment, basically it will not affect the progress of the project, 30 million money is enough to complete most of the project, and next year, Shaofu will definitely be able to make up the rest of the money.

But the property right to sell the statue was rejected by the emperor, in fact, Chen Xu was a very regrettable thing.

Hundreds of disciples as a family of scholars with a heritage origin, both in the court and in the folk status is very high, now has constituted a very large group of Daqin, the opening of the museum to teach the spread of ideas, as the bottom scribes, etc., to promote the development of Daqin has made great contributions, especially after the opening of several colleges, the hundred schools of disciples gradually from the chaotic and scattered barbaric state slowly integrated into the rapid development of Daqin, and has become the most important force to promote the development of Daqin.

But the disciples of the hundred schools of thought must still be scattered, and they have a natural sense of mutual hostility in thought, so it is impossible for the various sects to get along amicably, Chen Xu wants to integrate the hundred schools of thought and create a theory of governance with the characteristics of the Great Qin, then the disciples of the hundred schools must be able to compromise with each other and integrate together, so that the disciples of the hundred schools can have a common recognition and find their common beliefs.

Therefore, the library is the place where Chen Xu gathered his faith for them.

And just a library is not enough, Chinese have admired their ancestors since ancient times, and respecting teachers is a rule that hundreds of disciples abide by, so Chen Xu thought of the faceless strategy of erecting a statue after thinking about it for a long time.

If the statue of the sages of the hundred schools of thought is really erected at the door of the library, then the library has really become a place of faith for the disciples of the hundred schools of worship, which is equivalent to the existence of a church, because here stand the sages of the sect on which they rely for their lives, and as a disciple, they must not embarrass the sages.

As for selling the statue for money, Chen Xu felt nothing to be embarrassed about.

If you want to stand your sect ancestor at the door of the library for the world to admire, you have to pay some price, otherwise it will make people feel that they are not pious enough, and they will not be able to mobilize the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the disciples of the hundred schools.

This is a very simple truth, there is not enough to pay for it, if you can easily get a thing, you will not cherish it too much, of course, the more you pay, then it means the more respect and piety you will have as a disciple in later generations.

The simplest and most straightforward way to measure this respect and piety is ...... Pay!

Just like the pilgrims in later generations who donated incense money to the temple merit box, the more they donated, the more pious they were, and the happier the Bodhisattva was, as for whether the real happiness was whether it was the abbot of the temple, only the monks in the temple knew how to count the money at night.

What's more, Chen Xu paid 30 million yuan out of his own pocket, but let hundreds of disciples take advantage, Chen Xu must have some resentment about this kind of thing.

If you have money to contribute power, I am responsible for repairing, and it is not too much for you to contribute some money, so it is fair, right? What's more, these hundred sages are not only my Chen family, they are national, but also the country, everyone in the Chinese nation has a share, the more people who read, the more money should be paid, all the cultural knowledge is created by the ancestors with painstaking efforts......

"Master Hou, you said that if Your Majesty really promised to erect a statue of a hundred sages in front of the library, how many can my teacher Xunzi rank?"

Standing in the open space full of ember wreckage, a group of people watched the drawings and research plans, and when it came to the library, Zhang Cang couldn't help but speak.

"Xunzi is a great sage, and now the governing strategy implemented by Ben Hou is basically thanks to his philosophy, if it is Ben Hou to sort, it is not an exaggeration to rank it first, but after all, Xunzi has not been many years after his death, compared with many sages such as Mo Confucianism and Taoism, the qualifications are too poor, but it is estimated that there is no big problem in ranking in the top ten!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Top ten" Zhang Cang'......s face was a little unpleasant, but in the end, he had to admit that what Chen Xu said was very reasonable.

"There are so many sages, if you count from the three emperors and five emperors, I'm afraid it is impossible for Xunzi to rank in the top ten!" Hu Kuan said next to him.

Zhang Cang's face trembled, his face became even more depressed, he pulled his beard and nodded slightly, what Hu Kuan said was also very reasonable.

"Hehe, Dean Zhang doesn't need to be depressed, it's not clear what the emperor thinks at the moment, so the matter of erecting a statue is still to be discussed, but you can rest assured, the statue in front of this library will not have three emperors and five emperors, Ben Hou intends to put the statues of the three emperors and five emperors and His Majesty in front of the auditorium, to create a combination of Chinese emperors and group sculptures for all the people to admire, there will only be a hundred sages at the door of this library, Xunzi taught Han Fei, Li Si, Yuliang Gong and Dean Zhang and other outstanding students, each of whom has the talent of Jishi Anbang, such a great sage, When the time comes, Benhou will definitely place it in the top ten! ”

"Thank you Hou Ye, Hou Ye rest assured, I and a few senior brothers will definitely not let Hou Ye waste their efforts, I have said a few days ago, I will gather 300,000 yuan to erect a statue for the master, and we must rely on our strength to set up the statue of the master in the top ten positions!" Zhang Cang excitedly bowed his hand to Chen Xu.

"Hey, I didn't think you were so rich?" Hu Kuan was surprised.

"Hehe, I have followed Hou Ye in the Academy of Sciences for many years, and the annual official rank plus His Majesty's several rewards, there are more than 200,000 yuan in saving, and the senior brother and junior brother are both opening the museum to teach apprentices, the senior brother is still the vice president of the Faculty of Arts, and he also has a fixed official rank every year, adding up to 300,000 yuan is not a big problem, Li Si's second son Li Bin came to me a few days ago, and it seems that he also wants to participate in some money, but the old man did not agree......"

"Although Li Si and Ben Hou have had many fights, but after all, their respective concepts are different, Si people have been ancient, what they have done in their lives is worthy of the word hero, and it is not considered to have insulted Xunzi's teachings, if you set up a statue of Xunzi at that time, you should add his name!" Suddenly mentioning Li Si, Chen Xu also sighed slightly.

Li Si's death was too sudden, and he did not escape his fate, he still died on Zhao Hao.

But this is also good, it is much happier than waiting for him to be cut off and abandoned after the Great Qin.

"Master Hou, you ...... You say...... We ......," said a craftsman with a gray hair and a red face and a worried face.

"You want to talk about your Mo family's patriarch Mo Zhai, right?" Chen Xu pinched his chin and nodded after thinking slightly, "Mo Zhai is a great sage I admire very much, he not only has a very different concept of governing the country of a hundred schools, but also has a rich and detailed scientific concept and spirit of exploration, and has unique insights in mathematics, physics, astronomy, and physics, if it is sorted by Benhou, he should be able to rank in the top five or even the top three......"

"But...... I'll wait...... Not...... No money......" The craftsman stammered and bowed his head in shame.

"No money, it's a big problem!" Chen Xu grinned and pointed to the devastated ruins in front of him after being burned and said, "Mo Zhai prides himself on being a man of cloth, advocating the equality of the monarch and the people against the war, and formulating strict rules to strictly restrain the disciples from being ascetic, thrifty, and chivalrous, but they don't know that everyone is profit-seeking, and getting rich and living a good life is the yearning of all the people, it is good to be diligent and thrifty, but if you regard poverty as a kind of glory, then you have gone astray, and his biggest problem is the equality of the monarch and the people......"

As soon as Chen Xujun and the people said a few words, several craftsmen and craftsmen standing next to him couldn't help but shudder slightly, and their faces became very ugly.

Even Zhang Cang and Hu Kuan closed their mouths tightly at once.

At this time, Chen Xu was followed by a group of craftsmen and craftsmen, most of whom were ink disciples who came from the people, all of whom were very powerful craftsmen, and now they are the main force of various research and development departments of the Academy of Sciences.

And today's Daqin world, almost all craftsmen are inextricably linked with the Mo family, when the Mo family entered Qin, it brought a lot of advanced technology and experience to Daqin, and Daqin also attaches great importance to the cultivation and innovation of craftsmen under the influence of the Mo family, and in the war of conquest of the six countries, many siege equipment improved and designed by the Mo family has made a great contribution to the unification of the six countries of Daqin, but it is a pity that the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, if you like it, you will be called Xiao Tiantian, and if you don't like it, you will be called Mrs. Niu, Although the Mo family is good at technology, it is a patient with brain cancer in political thinking, commonly known as programmers, and will never figure out the psychological activities of the project manager and the company CEO, nor will they slap the horse, so they were soon used by the Legalists to use a sentence of chivalry and forbidden, and the Mo family has since died in the world, and most of the Mo disciples have lived an extremely poor and frugal life in the people.

"In Ben Hou's view, the teachings of your Mo family itself have problems, and now it is reasonable to be divided, the equality of the monarch and the people is a false proposition, there is no absolute fairness in the world, and there is no absolute equality, my Huaxia is like this empty land in front of me, there were seven mansions in the past, but a fire burned them all, this fire seems to have a huge loss, but the so-called is not broken and not standing, if there is no fire, this library has no place to repair, now the Great Qin dominates China, the behavior and governing philosophy of the Mo family is out of place, Naturally, it can't be promoted, if you want the Mo family to get a new life, you must completely break the previous outdated teachings, give full play to the Mo family's strengths, break and stand up, and carry forward Mo Zhai's theory in science for the benefit of Daqin and all the people in the world, this is Benhou's hope for you Mo disciples......"

Chen Xu said here and turned his head to look at the craftsman who had just spoken, "You say that the Mo family has no money, it is because your thinking has not yet changed, in Ben Hou's view, the Mo disciples who are proficient in organ skills are the richest and most promising group of people in the future Great Qin, the introduction of the patent bill, the patents obtained from various innovations and inventions will allow you to make money and earn softness in the future, if you can't erect the statue of Mozi in the top ten, I'm afraid you won't have the face to enter the library in the future!" ”

"What Master Hou said is true!" Several craftsmen and craftsmen next to him bowed their heads in shame.
