"In this way, things will be easier to handle!" Liu Pi heard this, and the slightly official smile on his face instantly became friendly.
Zhao Si was keenly aware of Liu Pi's change in attitude. He glanced at Liu Pi strangely and asked, "Don't you need to ask You Cheng for instructions?"
"There will be tens of thousands of craftsmen in the Shaofu, but we are just going to dispatch a few craftsmen, no need to ask for permission." Liu Pi said with a smile.
Ask for instructions? Give me a hammer, please!
After asking for permission, can You Cheng Chi Gong give such a good thing to Qin Mo's disciples?
Liu Pi's immediate superior was Zuo Cheng Jian (yan) Gong, and You Cheng Chi Gong was a serious official who had climbed up from the Qin government. He didn't have a very good impression of the Mohist family. If You Cheng Chi Gong hadn't been older, Zuo Cheng would have Xian Gong wanted to fight for one or two, picking the left to the right, and Liu Pi, the representative of Qin and Mo, couldn't climb up.
One of the most embarrassing things about the Mohist family is that if you want to make progress, you have to draw a line with the Mohist family.
For someone like Liu Pi who relied on Qin Mo's influence to climb up, it would be extremely difficult.
"Shilang Zhao! Please come with me!" Liu Pi knew in his heart that both Yuan Gong and Chi Gong were serious Qin officials. It was already extremely difficult for him to climb up to Zuo Zhonghou, and it was already extremely difficult for him to be promoted again. Difficulties arise, and when you encounter such a good thing, of course you must grasp it firmly.
That's a high-ranking nobleman, and he has three consecutive titles...
It is serious business to find a way to serve Zhao Si well.
All the way, he led Zhao Si into the welcoming place. Liu Pi ordered people to prepare drinks and desserts for Zhao Si, and then bowed and saluted: "Servant Zhao, please stay here for a moment. I will select a master craftsman for the minister. I don't know how many people Zhao Si needs." ?”
"Manpower? How many are required, but we need master craftsmen who are quick-thinking and skilled in craftsmanship! We will be the Shaofu responsible for construction and production. Are there any Mohist disciples?" Zhao Si asked.
At present, Zhao Si has not come into contact with many Mohists. Whether it is Confucianism or Legalism, there are many in the court. Even though Chun Yuyue is dead, the current Qin Rites are still in charge of Confucianism, including the specific formulation of Xing Tong Lun. A large number of Confucian scholars participated.
On the contrary, it was the Mohist family. Apart from Meng Yi, Zhao Si didn't see anyone in the court. He was a little curious. The Mohist family is the representative school of rangers and craftsmen. It's not surprising that there are no rangers in the court, and it's not surprising that there are no craftsmen. , after all, the Mohist ideology was indeed not in line with the emperor's wishes, but it was inevitable that this young manor would not be without Mohist children.
As one of the Three Great Scholars, one cannot even be invisible to the individual.
"Of course there are generals who will serve as young masters... Why did Zhao Shilang ask this? Could it be that there is no use..." As one of the three major sects, the Mohist School has many enemies. Now that it has declined, everyone is crying out for beatings.
There is no other way. It’s okay for the Legalists to concentrate their firepower on the Mohists. Confucians and Mohists also have enmity. The dispute between Confucianism and Mohism during the Warring States Period was so mind-blowing that Mozi and Confucius sprayed each other eight hundred times from a distance. All over.
After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the upper class of the Mohist school was unpopular and was targeted by Legalists to clean up political power. The lower class was quickly seized by Confucianism. The other schools of thought beat the losers so hard that by the Han Dynasty, the Mohist school had completely declined and became the younger brother among the younger brothers. If hundreds of schools of thought were deposed and only Confucianism was respected, the Mohists would be taken away in a wave.
However, it must be said that the ideological core of the knight-errant spirit after the Han Dynasty was mostly derived from some Mohist theories. It can be regarded as a successor of Mohism in a sense, and has existed widely for a long time. Unfortunately, it has become out of date, and there is no ideological program and The course of action... can't make any noise.
Liu Pi humbly asked, because the Mohist family has really reached a moment of life and death. The First Emperor loves Han Feizi's "Xian Xue" and "Five Worms". In addition, the Mohist social group poses a great threat to the rule. Now, the Mohist family really The building is about to collapse and everyone is shouting to be beaten.
Therefore, Liu Pi felt quite uneasy...
Not all great craftsmen are disciples of the Mohist family... If Zhao Si does not use the disciples of the Mohist family, then these real titles will fall into the hands of other craftsmen.
Zhao Si noticed Liu Pi's uneasy look and realized something, shook his head and said: "No, no, I am not a scholar, and I have no prejudice against the Mohists. It's just that I heard that the Mohists are good at techniques, and Mohist disciples are different in their skills. As for the other craftsmen, I have this question. If there are any great Mohist craftsmen, you might as well recruit them to me."
There is still a difference between the Mohist family and the craftsmen.
The Mohist family has specialized vocational education and theoretical education. They are not simply like craftsmen who can make perfect by doing hard work.
Most of the craftsmen in this era were not very literate, and most of them were just like oil sellers, who were as skilled as practice.
As for Mohist disciples, firstly, they have theoretical guidance, secondly, they have thinking models, and thirdly, they have craftsmanship and technology. They also have good literary literacy and strong understanding ability. They are what Zhao Si needs.
Fortunately, the Mohists have not completely died out in this era. They are the ones with real thinking ability and innovative spirit.
It is nonsense to expect craftsmen to invent and create. What is important in invention and creation is not the hands, but the brain, the thought, the wisdom, and the knowledge.
In other eras, this group of people would have to be retrained and start from scratch, which would be as difficult as reaching the sky.
Nowadays, there are a large number of talents with knowledge, ideas and corresponding professions readily available.
"Of course there is. In the past, the Mo family was divided into two, and those who entered the Qin Dynasty were called Qin Mo. Now there are many Qin Mo who will be the Shaofu!" Liu Pi said with a smile.
"So, Zuo Zhonghou is also Qin Mo?" Zhao Si smiled.
Compared with the big men in the court, Liu Pi's ability to hide emotions pales in comparison. Zhao Si can easily deduce that Liu Pi is one of Qin Mo.
"It involves family studies, which made Minister Zhao laugh." Liu Pi smiled awkwardly.
"Otherwise, in my opinion, Liu Zhonghou is the real one!" It's indeed a bit too much to expect a technical geek to be cynical.
"Since there are quite a few Mohist disciples who will become the Shaofu, I would like to ask Liu Zhonghou to trouble him and allocate more Mohist disciples who are good at skills. It doesn't matter if they are not good at handicrafts." Zhao Si said.
"Don't worry, Marquis Liu Zhong. I won't take credit for my achievements. To be honest, there are only two things to be made, so the title is a little less. But I actually have other things. If I can make them, I will ask your Majesty for the reward." ." Zhao Si said seriously.
Craftsman? Far worse than the Mohist disciples.
The limit of a craftsman is a top fitter and a top welder, and they are engaged in craft work.
What is the limit of Mohist disciples? There is no limit. What we play is scientific theory and practical application. We have systematic exploration knowledge and cutting-edge technology.
The most important thing is that this group of people possess scientific truth-seeking thinking that is extremely rare in this era!
Zhao Si's modern knowledge and thinking that spans two thousand years of history are the closest to them, and they are also the easiest to create bright sparks.
Playing with technology is worse than playing with scientific research. This is an eternal truth.
Of course, the premise is to get rid of the Mohist niggas... Let this group of scholars with a certain degree of truth-seeking and scientific thinking completely put aside the constraints of political thought and devote themselves to scientific creation and theoretical innovation.
Liu Pi was overjoyed when he heard this!
"It's not low anymore! It's not low anymore! Wait a moment, Minister Zhao!" After saying that, Liu Pi left in a hurry.
A doctor, three consecutive men, and unlimited low-level rewards may not be looked down upon by other schools of thought, but for Mohist disciples, they are truly precious.
A double blow from the upper and lower levels. If the Mohist family did not have a broad underlying base, it would have disappeared long ago!
"Liu Zhonghou, he is a good man..." Zhao Si looked at Liu Pi's leaving figure with emotion in his eyes.
"The Mohist family, it seems, is really at a critical moment of life and death!" Zhao Si thought secretly, from the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty to the unification of the Han Dynasty, the Mohist family... seemed to have casually declined from explicit learning to hidden learning during this period.
After that, it disappeared into history quietly.
"The school that was once so famous..." The end of the Mo family came so quietly that it didn't even cause the slightest ripple.
On the other side, Liu Pi left in a hurry and went straight to a simple house.
When he pushed the door open and entered, he saw a young man squatting on the ground. The ground was covered with sawdust, wooden strips and various scattered parts.
"Zhuo! Stop being that wooden kite of yours and go call your senior brothers!" Liu Pi looked at the unkempt junior brothers and called out.
The young man in the room turned a deaf ear and just lowered his head and kept disassembling and assembling the items until they were finally scattered on the floor.
"What exactly is the problem..." Zhuo squatted on the ground and looked at Mu Yuan, frowning.
"Birds flutter their wings and fly... why can't the wooden kite?"
"clumsy!"
The young man who was meditating was fiercely picked up from the ground by Liu Pi.
"How can your master's wooden kite be made by a person like you who has not advanced in school? Call your brothers quickly!"
After Zhuo was picked up, he looked up blankly and looked at Liu Pi. He was stunned for a long time.
"Ah? When will eldest brother come?"
Liu Pi looked at his unkempt and innocent-looking younger brother and rolled his eyes and said, "It's been a long time!"
"Oh..." Zhuo struggled to get off Liu Pi's hands.
After a while, Zhuo suddenly said: "Brother, this wooden kite..."
"Did you hear what I said? I asked you to call your senior brothers!"
"oh……"
Zhuo scratched his head and turned around. After walking out of the house, he suddenly turned around: "What do you want me to do, brother?"
"Let you call..."
"Forget it, I'll go! You wait here!" Liu Pi pushed Zhuo back into the room fiercely.
"Being a wooden kite is almost crazy. Look at your unkempt appearance. How decent are you?" Liu Pi cursed as he went out. When he looked back, he saw Zhuo squatting on the ground again. He was still in one piece just now. The wooden kite has been clumsily dismantled into parts one by one.
gear, and a ring-shaped copper piece...
Zhuo was staring at the ring-shaped copper piece on the ground, scratching his head and mumbling to himself.
"Can not be done……"
"Bamboo pieces are not good...copper pieces are too hard and heavy..."
"How should we motivate it?"
Mozi is a wooden kite, which takes three years to form...
Can fly for a day and a night.
Unfortunately, the Mohist classics did not record the production methods. Zhuo was not interested in the Mohist heavenly ghosts. He was only interested in various creations and inventions.
