"Is it Mozi~?"
After hearing Mo Huai's answer, Li Zexuan was extremely shocked. When was Mo Zi a figure~? Pre-Qin, it has been more than a thousand years since the Tang Dynasty, and more than two thousand years since modern times. At such an early time, Mozi began to study astronomy, mechanics and optics. Li Zexuan suddenly felt an extremely strong feeling in his heart. Ridiculous ideas:
Could it be that Mozi, like himself, is also a time traveler~? And he was also an engineering student in his previous life~?
Well, after experiencing this incident, Li Zexuan said that he would never underestimate the ancients again.
"Brother Mo, please don't be too harsh on yourself. Mozi was also a god-like figure back then. How difficult it is for future generations to surpass him~! Not to mention surpassing, as long as the knowledge he left behind can continue to be carried forward, it will be very important. It’s not easy~! And the content taught in Xiaoxuan’s Yanhuang Academy is somewhat similar to Mohist theory. Why don’t Brother Mo take this opportunity to promote Mohism and benefit all people in the world~?”
Seeing Mo Huai's frustrated face, Li Gang couldn't help but comfort him. Just talking, he took advantage of the situation to advertise Yanhuang Academy.
As the saying goes, people become better with age. Although Li Zexuan concealed it better, how could Li Gang not see that Li Zexuan was interested in recruiting Mo Huai~? Li Gang admired Li Zexuan, a very motivated young man, and naturally he would help if he could.
Mo Huai was silent for a while. He narrowed his eyes slightly and did not answer. No one knew what he was thinking, but Li Zexuan on the side caught the fleeting heartbeat from Mo Huai's eyes.
Therefore, Li Zexuan struck while the iron was hot: "You just said that, since the great revolution, the Mohist school has not stopped its incest to this day, but over the years, Mohism has not made any fundamental progress. If things go on like this, , Mohism will definitely perish~!
According to Xiaozi, if the giant wants to carry forward Mohism, he must bring the remaining Mohists to the world~! It is impossible for any school of thought to achieve progress and development by staying in a corner and working behind closed doors~! And the Yanhuang Academy, where young talents from the 360 states and counties of the Tang Dynasty are gathered, is a good opportunity for you to carry forward Mohism~! "
After hearing this, Mo Huai couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't the Lord establish Yanhuang Academy to spread engineering? If I come to teach, wouldn't the Lord be afraid that your disciples will switch to my Mo family?"
Li Zexuan laughed and said: "First of all, whether it is you, Juzi, or other Mohists, after you are hired to teach at Yanhuang Academy, you have only one responsibility, and that is to teach the knowledge in the textbooks to the students of Yanhuang Academy. Your status There is only one, and that is the gentleman from Yanhuang Academy~!
In the academy, there will no longer be any distinction between you as superiors and subordinates, you are all colleagues working together~! I have said a long time ago that engineering studies will not fight with other schools of thought. My purpose of spreading engineering studies is only to benefit all people in the world~!
Therefore, the Yanhuang Academy in the future will be a very clean and pure place. There will be no fighting or intrigue. Here we will only pursue truth and knowledge~! During the teaching period, no activities unrelated to teaching are allowed. If there are students after class who are interested in your Mohist teachings and want to join your Mohist school, I, Li Zexuan, will never stop you in any way~! Everyone has the freedom to choose~! "
When he first came up with the idea of wooing Mo Huai, Li Zexuan was worried whether this Mohist giant would "lecture and preach" when he entered Yanhuang Academy and poach him. Later, as Li Gang brought up the old affairs, the Mohist family had declined rapidly in recent years. After analyzing the reasons, Li Zexuan's worries instantly dissipated.
He didn't believe that the students of Yanhuang Academy could live a good life and insist on going to the Mo family to become "ascetics"~! On the other hand, if Mo Huai brought the Mohists to Yanhuang Academy, Li Zexuan felt that with Yanhuang Academy's luxurious architectural facilities and strong and friendly academic atmosphere, he might even assimilate those Mohists~!
Mo Huai didn't know the "treacherous plot" in Li Zexuan's heart. Hearing these words full of justice and tolerance, he praised: "Everyone has the freedom of choice~! Sir Alex is so brave, I am ashamed of myself~! I believe it , Yanhuang Academy will definitely become my academic holy place in the Tang Dynasty in the future~!"
"Sir, the little one has got the book that Mr. Li asked for~!"
At this time, the young servant in Li Gang's house came back on an old horse.
Li Gang nodded, and Li Zexuan quickly stepped forward to take the two textbooks. One was arithmetic and the other was physics. He handed the two textbooks to Mo Huai and said with a smile: "Please look at these two textbooks, you master." This is the textbook used by Yanhuang Academy. Of course, Yanhuang Academy’s courses must be more than just these two~!"
Mo Huai didn't dare to make excuses at this time. He took the teaching materials with both hands solemnly, then apologized to Li Zexuan and Li Gang, and then he couldn't wait to sit on the stool and began to read carefully.
Li Zexuan and Li Gang smiled and expressed their understanding, and then they chatted about home affairs in a low voice beside them.
On the other side, Mo Huai opened the arithmetic textbook first. As a Mohist giant, he was quite proficient in arithmetic. However, after finally adapting to Arabic numerals, he looked at it, but his eyes couldn't help but stare. It is getting bigger and bigger, including algebra, equations, geometry, etc., which defines many novel concepts. Then, Mo Huai found that many of the difficult problems he had encountered before became much simpler after using these things. What made him unbelievable was that he seemed to have seen many concepts in this arithmetic textbook before in Mohist classics.
After flipping through another ten pages, Mo Huai put down the arithmetic textbook and opened another physics textbook. This first volume of physics by Li Zexuan is quite rich in content, including a preliminary introduction to basic physical concepts such as motion, speed, sound, heat, reflection of light, refraction of light, mechanics, etc., as well as Newton's three laws.
(Ahem, of course, Li Zexuan shamelessly used his own name here, calling it Xiaoxuan’s Three Laws)
Different from reading arithmetic textbooks, Mo Huai flipped through physics textbooks very quickly. In less than two-quarters of an hour, he flipped through more than half of the physics textbooks. Then he closed the book and put it away. He took a deep breath. After a few breaths, he suddenly stood up and came to Li Zexuan, bowed down and said with an excited expression:
"Mo Huai, the forty-fifth generation giant of the Mo family, pays homage to the Holy Ancestor~!"
Li Zexuan, who was still surprised that Mo Huai would bow to him, now felt ridiculous when he heard Mo Huai's words. He jumped to his feet and said: "Holy Ancestor~? How can I be your Holy Ancestor~? Are you okay, Mr. ~?"
