Mohism, Confucianism and Luo Wang are united. What terrible news this is!
What is even more frightening is that this time all the forces that were divided within Mohism and Confucianism have united.
Mohism and Confucianism are the only two prominent schools of thought in the world. Even if Mohism is divided into three groups, and even if Confucianism is also involved in the "Seventy-two Rebels" rebellion, it is still an existence that can make other schools tremble with just a tap of their feet.
But this time, the internal divisions between Mohism and Confucianism were temporarily eliminated, and they were united as never before.
The power that the complete Mohism and the complete Confucianism can exert together can almost directly declare war on all other schools of thought among the hundreds of schools of thought.
Coupled with the participation of Luo Wang, the most powerful killer organization in the world, such a three-party alliance even made the other schools of thought begin to wonder if Mohism and Confucianism were planning to destroy them directly, and then both sides went from being the only two prominent schools in the world to The only two schools of thought.
And those who are worried are not only the scholars, but also the kings of various countries.
The kings of other countries outside Qin couldn't even sleep. Luo Wang was Qin's killer organization. The Mohists and Confucians openly joined forces with Luo Wang. Could it be that they planned to stake their treasures on Qin?
Later, the Mohists claimed that Zhang Ji, a close disciple of Lu Goujian, the former Mohist great son, invented paper that could replace bamboo slips and silk as a new carrier of writing, and a printing technology that could print books in large quantities.
For a time, Zhang Ji's name caused a sensation all over the world.
Bamboo slips and silk have been used as writing carriers for more than a thousand years (beginning in the Shang Dynasty), and have been used as main writing carriers for 500 years (beginning in the Spring and Autumn Period). Now the Mohists claim that their disciples have invented a new writing system carrier, and can also completely replace bamboo slips and silk.
As a group of "honest people", the Mo family would not talk nonsense, especially not joke about such things. The Mohist family's industrial technology is world-famous. When the Mohist family recognizes that paper can completely replace bamboo slips and silk, then there is a high probability that this thing will really happen.
Then Confucianism also quickly spoke out, headed by Xunzi, Kong Qian, the head of the Kong family, and Meng Yu, the head of the Meng family, and followed by the heads of the "Seventy-two Confucian rebels", jointly promoting books printed on paper and printing technology , and took the lead in replacing bamboo slips with bound paper books for daily teaching.
Paper and paper books, which were recognized by the two major sages at the time, naturally attracted everyone's attention. After discovering the price of paper and the price of paper books, all the scholars were excited.
Paper made from cheap materials such as bamboo and reeds is really cheap. Even ordinary people can buy a stack of paper, let alone scholars like them who have some wealth?
As for paper books, the prices are also very low.
The nobles were horrified when they saw the low price.
Some nobles sent hangers-on to spend a lot of money to buy up all the paper and paper books on the market, trying to prevent the spread of paper and paper books in this way. For half a month, paper and paper books would be snapped up by the diners sent by these nobles as soon as they were put on the shelves.
But gradually, these nobles discovered that no matter how hard they cleared the shelves, there was never a shortage of paper and paper books. The Mo family's production speed was so fast. As soon as they bought one batch, the Mo family produced two more batches.
The money the nobles spent was like throwing it into a bottomless pit. No matter how much they filled it, they couldn't fill it up. Instead, they suffered a lot of losses.
At this time, some nobles had other ideas.
The Mo family is the producer, they cannot and dare not move, but the person responsible for transportation and sales is the secret caravan of the Emerald Tiger.
For a caravan that didn't even dare to reveal its owner's name, these nobles naturally planned to take advantage of it.
Unexpectedly, they had just sent out their disciples to rob the caravan and burn down the shops. As a result, as soon as these people stepped out, they were killed one by one by the killers sent by Luowang, and their bodies were all hung outside the nobles' mansions. It looks particularly scary at night.
This is still good, some small nobles were still discussing the robbery plan, but they were killed by the snare killers along with those small nobles.
Moreover, the person who is solely responsible for this matter is Zhanri, one of the Eight Swordsmen of Luowang Yue.
Although cheap paper and paper books offer small profits but quick turnover, they cannot support the wide sales volume and high demand. This income can be said to be a timely help for the Qin State, which is tightening its belt because of the construction of the Zhengguo Canal!
Therefore, after Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei received Zhang Ji's message, he did not hesitate to send the best of Tianzi's first-class killers to hide the sun, as well as a large number of Luowang elites, specifically responsible for protecting the Emerald Tiger's caravans and shops.
Zhanri was different from other Tianzi first-class killers. Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, but his ingenuity also caused these nobles to suffer heavy losses.
At the same time, other schools of thought also understood the purpose of the cooperation between Mohism, Confucianism and Luo Wang. Whether it is out of public or selfish motives, we still stand on the front of hundreds of schools of thought, standing behind Confucianism, Mohism, and Luowang, supporting the spread of paper and paper books.
The interests of the nobles who were defeated again were seriously damaged. Some small nobles who made profits from bamboo slips and silk were directly ruined. Many of the nobles' disciples also chose to leave the nobles because of the spread of paper books and buy books on their own. Go on a study trip.
Therefore, the nobles focused their attention on Zhang Ji, the traitor.
Although the Anyi Zhang family has not been an official for three generations, the fame and wealth left by Zhang Yi and the Zongheng Guigu classics stored by the Anyi Zhang family are enough for the Anyi Zhang family to continue to swim in the aristocratic circle.
But Zhang Ji, the head of the Zhang family in Anyi, actually stabbed the nobles back!
Some nobles were carried away by anger and sent some retainers whose identities could not be traced to Xinzheng, the capital of Han Dynasty, with weapons.
Late at night, Xinzheng, Zhang Ji's mansion
Different from the surrounding mansions that are brightly lit, with singing and dancing, and from time to time the moans of women and the lewd laughter of men can be heard, Zhang Ji's mansion is pitch dark, not even a lamp is lit, and there are only frogs in the pond in the backyard. There was no sound other than the scream.
More than forty men in black wearing black masks climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the mansion quietly.
"Are you sure it's this room?"
The leading man in black pointed to a relatively luxurious-looking room in the inner courtyard of the mansion.
A man in black took out a map drawn on silk from his arms. This map was given to Yahang by Anpingjun's family for the purpose of selling their house when they were selling their house. I got this map in my hand, which recorded the detailed layout of this mansion.
"You can't go wrong, it's right here."
After receiving confirmation from his subordinates, the leading man in black pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and kicked open the door.
Ten of the more than forty men in black left behind to guard the door, and the rest rushed into this luxurious room. Under the moonlight, a sword flashed with cold light, illuminating the room. A dark room.
At this time, outside Mrs. Hu's room in Zuo Sima Mansion, a black figure tiptoed and knocked on Mrs. Hu's door.
Mrs. Hu, who was lying on the couch, was awakened by the knock on the door. She hugged the quilt around her body in fear and huddled at the head of the bed.
But soon she came back to her senses. This was Zuo Sima's mansion. Ever since Liu Yi was assassinated, the guards had been extremely tight. Even the little thief hadn't been able to find her for a long time. How could anyone break through those ferocious houses? The guards of Zuo Sima Mansion knocked on her door?
Maybe a personal guard or maid from Zuo Sima Mansion?
Mrs. Hu looked at the door and asked in a low voice: "Who is outside?"
Perhaps he heard the trembling in Mrs. Hu's voice that ordinary people could not detect. The black figure outside the door deliberately prolonged his tone and said with a smile: "Female donor, I've brought you tea~"
