Chapter 226: Gu Jiangzi's decision

"That's what he said?" In the middle of the moon, Gu Jiangzi returned to the hidden backyard and reported today's events to the fifteen, and the face of Gujing Bubo, the current generation of the Mo family, finally showed a trace of surprise. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Yes, Juzi, this is a good opportunity for my Mo family to be born again." Under the suppression of Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and other schools, the Mohists have been silent for hundreds of years, and now they finally have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's not because they ran schools everywhere back then, but now more than ninety percent of the schools are in the hands of Confucianism; The world has always been governed by scholars, and Confucianism has mastered the power of the Zhao court through these schools, and even with the respect of the emperor, he has to obey their wishes. ”

"I know all this, but Jiazhou Bo seems to only want you to teach the craftsman skills to the students he selected, and he didn't let you teach me the Mo family theory, so what's the use of this for my Mo family?" Juzi said slowly.

"If you want to learn the art of a craftsman, how can you not read Mozi?" Gu Jiangzi immediately retorted that the book "Mozi" is broad and profound, which contains knowledge of mathematics, physics, mechanical manufacturing, etc., and if you want to become an excellent craftsman, you must understand these truths, "The first and second chapters of the "Sutra", the upper and lower chapters of the "Sutra", "Datori" and "Xiaotori" include arithmetic and instrumental, and Jiazhou Bo can't help but let craftsmen read these if they want to build weapons and build waterwheels; "Prepare the City Gate", "Prepare the Moth Fu", "Prepare the Ladder", "Prepare the Surprise", "Flag", "Miscellaneous Guard", "Prepare Gaolin", "Welcome the Enemy Temple", "Prepare Water", "Prepare the Cave", "Order" Eleven articles of the road to defend the city, if the war starts in the future, Jiazhou Bozi will be willing to teach us this way, starting from this, my Mojia doctrine spread all over the world not far away. ”

"These are just small paths, "Shang Xian", "Non Attack", "Love", "Saving Use", "Fei Le", "Ming Ghost", "Shang Tong", "Fei Life", "Tianzhi", "Festival Funeral", "Non-Confucian" These are the essence of my Mo family, even if you can teach what you said, it is just a matter of abandoning the original and chasing the end, what is the joy?" Juzi didn't think so.

"Juzi, how did you get to say the same thing to those rotten people now? Confucianism says that these are strange tricks and tricks, don't you look down on these too? Over the years, the Mo family has not only not developed under the leadership of this Juzi, but has gradually weakened, and now it is finally possible to have such an opportunity, but Juzi has repeatedly hesitated, and in a hurry, Gu Jiangzi's tone of voice has also become a little heavier.

The Mo family has always been at odds with Confucianism, and now Gu Jiangzi compares Juzi with Confucianism, which is also very anxious; Juzi was silent for a long time when he heard this, he had traveled many places over the years without the slightest gain, and when he arrived in the capital, he still had to rely on Gu Jiangzi's workshop to support himself and his attachΓ©s, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

Fang Cai objected because he felt that Gu Jiangzi's approach was not in line with the tradition of the Mo family, but after thinking about it, he insisted on the tradition of Ruonian and did not make the Mo family stronger, and now Gu Jiangzi's attempt is not a choice; His personality is a little soft, and he is not suitable to be the leader of a party, and now Gu Jiangzi, who is quite senior in the Mo family, is so excited, so he retreats again as he agreed to Gu Jiangzi to follow Li You on the expedition, "If Mr. Gu has already made up his mind, then go and try it; However, the people to Jiazhou can only be selected from your branch, and the other branches will not help you. ”

"That's enough." Gu Jiangzi didn't think that he could get any help from the other branches, "In this case, I will keep Juzi in this workshop in Beijing, and Juzi will choose the right people to take over; While I am still in the capital, follow me to visit those regular customers, so that I can take over the business; Although this workshop is not big, it can earn some silver taels a year, and there are many places to use money, so you can be more comfortable with this workshop. ”

"This was established by Gu Lao you back then, I'm afraid it's been forty years now, right? You just believe that Jiazhou Bo? Even the hard work of his life has to give up? Juzi was moved, this workshop was built by Gu Jiangzi when he was twenty years old, brick by brick, and it was with his superb skills and sleek way of doing things that he made a name for himself in the capital; Although the shop is small, the precious materials, tools, and connections inside are worth tens of thousands of gold, and it is almost impossible to rebuild such a workshop at Gu Jiangzi's current age.

Now he is easily handing over his life's work to himself, how can he not be moved by Juzi? He was also very interested in that Jiazhou Bo now, and he wanted to see what kind of person could make this Mo family elder make such a decision.

"I'm old." Gu Jiangzi slowly got up and pushed open the window, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, "When the ancestor was alive, there were still more than a thousand disciples in my Mo family, and now there are less than eight hundred left; If this continues, in another one or two hundred years, my Mo family will die; At this point, I can't care about that much. But whenever there is a chance, I dare to fight for all my net worth, can I keep these Mo family can live? ”

"These days, I have been in contact with Jiazhou Boduo, and I found that this person is very special, and he does not look down on our craftsmanship like other noble families, but respects the old man, and even above those Confucian scholars......" Gu Jiangzi slowly recalled the details of Li You's contact with him in the workshop and in Weizhou, "What is even more rare is that he can also draw by himself, whether it is the previous billiards or this time, the eight-bull crossbow is an extremely delicate thing; If it weren't for the fact that the heirs of the Mo family were clear, I would have doubted which disciple he was. ”

"If we give up such a candidate, then our Mo family will really have no day of revival." After saying that, Gu Jiangzi bowed deeply, "Juzi, I have already decided to lead my disciples to follow Jiazhou Bo to Jiazhou, and there will be Lao Juzi in the future in the capital." ”

Juzi fell silent again, he remembered that there were more than 1,200 disciples of the Mo family when he first started, and there were only more than 800 dead and scattered people who had died over the years, maybe if Gu Jiangzi said that if there were no changes, the end of the Mo family would really come.

"In that case, you should take your disciples to Jiazhou, right? I will help you deal with the affairs of the capital, and if you want any help in the future, just ask. Juzi said slowly, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, maybe Gu Jiangzi is more suitable to be a Juzi than himself, right? (To be continued.) )
