Chapter 139: The Development of the Mo Family
More than a month passed.
At this time, it is already September.
Wang Jian and his son returned to Xianyang, reported the final results, and put aside the battle against Yan for the time being.
The destruction of Yan was before the destruction of Qi, and the State of Qi was the last to be destroyed.
Bai Zhong was not surprised that Yan Wang Xi would use Prince Dan's head to surrender.
Next, the Qin army rested for a few months, prepared grain and grass, and should start the battle to destroy Wei.
At this time, the Qin army regained its calm and was basically training.
However, the calm was temporary, and Qin's troops were preparing for the next battle.
Bai Zhong is also training, asking the Iron Eagle Warriors to start their daily training, and then go to the place where the crossbow is made.
With the addition of Mochen and Mo Yuran, the progress has accelerated a lot, and eight crossbows can be built in a month.
Now there are thirty crossbows, which are placed here, because the number is too small, Bai Zhong has not brought them back for the time being.
Crossbow arrows are specially made, much shorter than ordinary arrows, some people are making crossbows, and others are man-made arrows, there are enough arrows, and the speed of the crossbow still cannot be improved.
"Giant, let's assemble another one, and there are already thirty-one crossbows."
When Mochen saw Bai Zhong coming to inspect, he first stepped forward to report the progress.
Bai Zhong thought for a while and asked, "What do you think is the main reason why the current construction speed is not fast?" ”
Mo Chen picked up a part and said: "The main thing is that these parts are not easy to build, and the requirements are extremely high, even if there is a little detail that does not meet the standard, they have to be rebuilt, and the speed of creating parts cannot keep up, so it cannot be assembled." ”
This is a matter of productivity level, and in this era, Bai Zhong can't change it for the time being, unless the system gives him some special reward.
"The mechanism is my strength and Yu Ran's strength, but in terms of forging, it's not very good."
Mochen continued to explain: "Liu Yuanxiang They are Korean craftsmen, they have been thinking hard about ways to improve, but there has been no result, the forging method we are currently using is still Juzi's 100 forging steel, and there is assembly line production, no matter how fast it is, it is limited. ”
Bai Zhong nodded and said, "I understand, let's keep it like this for now." ”
Mo Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "The giant proposed before to carry forward our Mo family, I don't know how it went?" ”
As the descendant of the Mo family, he is most concerned about how to carry forward the Mo family.
Bai Zhong, as a giant, has given relevant promises, and the responsibility is naturally on him, so Mo Chen is still looking forward to it.
"This matter, I will leave it to Ling Zhi for the time being, I don't know how it is going at the moment, I will go to him tomorrow."
Bai Zhong understood Mo Chen's concerns, and solemnly promised: "Since I have taken over the order of the giant, I will not let the Mo family disappear!" ”
"I believe in the giants."
Mochen said reassuringly.
Their giant's ability is indeed very strong, even Yueli can be recovered, and it must be easy to carry forward the Mo family, and Mo Chen can rest assured.
——
Early the next morning.
Bai Zhong went directly to Ling Zhi to find out about the recent situation of the Mo family.
The Mo family recruits new people, and the requirements are still very high.
In addition to having the ability, it is also necessary to recognize their ideological concepts, and even consider morality, character, etc., such people are not easy to find.
Ordinary people, generally only run around for two meals, they don't even know the words, it is not within the scope of their consideration, if it is a noble, or a businessman, or even some poor families, they may not necessarily agree with their Mo family, or their character is not good.
Confucianism, military ism, Legalism and other ideas are still very easy to accept.
However, the words of the world, if you don't return to Yang, the era of ink has passed.
In the face of the current trend of great unification, another proposition of the Mo family is "economizing", that is, opposing extravagance and waste, which is completely inapplicable to the aristocracy.
The aristocracy was so rich that very few people were frugal.
In the late Warring States period, which was also the period of decline of the Mohists, those aspects of logic and scientific research were not taken seriously due to the influence of the social system.
The previous rulers liked the Mo family, but they valued their skills in defending the city.
The current Mo family, in the eyes of many people, is just the work of craftsmen, and it is just a strange skill.
"Giant, what do you think should be done?"
In the past two months, Ling Zhi has no way to develop members.
belongs to their glory, and at this time it is becoming more and more lonely.
Bai Zhong thought for a while and said, "I think we can start from the bottom and develop from the common people. ”
Ling Zhi shook his head and said: "Ordinary people, they can't even read words, they are only busy farming on weekdays, how can they join us?" ”
"Not necessarily!"
Bai Zhong thought for a while and said, "They can't read, so let's teach them to read, and start with children." ”
"Why?"
Ling Zhi asked puzzled.
Bai Zhong analyzed: "Adults are busy farming, but whenever the farming is busy, some young children don't even have the strength to help their families farm. ”
"We set up a school where we can send our children to study and write for a very small amount of money when adults are too busy to take care of them."
"Children's ideas are the most easily influenced by us."
"While the children are reading and literate, teaching them the ideas of our Mohists and all kinds of knowledge will have a great impact."
"Ordinary people can't refuse to let their children read and write, and there is a great possibility of success."
In this era, those who can read and write, except for the aristocracy, are rich.
Literacy can sometimes be a status symbol and can even change fate.
Ling Zhi thought about it seriously and felt that what Bai Zhong said made some sense.
But it will certainly be easy to put it into practice.
"This practice starts in the countryside outside Xianyang City."
"We have more than 20 people, each in a township, and we have a school for children, probably over the age of six."
"But there are also restrictions on recruitment, and we need to examine the character of the parents, as well as whether the children are willing to study, whether they are suitable for us, and so on."
"In this way for two or three years, the thoughts of our Mo family are enough to influence the people of a township."
"If you think it's feasible, I'll raise this matter with the king and ask for his support."
Bai Zhong continued.
Great Qin ruled the country with legalism.
He did this, not to change the idea of governing the country, but to let the Mo family be preserved in a small area, if there is only the idea of the Mo family in the world, it is far from enough, if it is completely ruled by the Legalist, in fact, there are also drawbacks.
There are hundreds of schools of thought, and each faction has advantages and disadvantages.
Bai Zhong had a bold idea.
He can take the strengths of each family and remove its dross, and while teaching Mohist, he also intersperses some Legalist, peasant, Confucian, and other ideas, and integrates these favorable contents as much as possible.
Of course, he is just thinking about it now, and there are only ideals at present.
If it is tossed, Li Si and other people from the Legalists will definitely jump out against him immediately.
If Mohist believers are developed in the township, the impact will not be great, and no one will pay attention to it for the time being.
