Chapter 94 [Mozi and Gongshu]
The Mohist school advocated both love and not attack, hoping to achieve the world's harmony and achieve primitive communism. In order to realize this lofty ideal, the genius Mr. Modi set an example, wearing a cloth, wearing cloth shoes, and eating simple food. Now that this person is gone, his spirit is still there. It is said that the Mohist family and the nobles and scholars cannot pee in the same pot. However, the Mohist school has been promoting the utopia in their dreams for many years, but they have encountered walls everywhere and gradually realized that they should unite all the forces that can be united.
Bai Dong was just starting out and shocked the world with the method of strengthening the noodles. The contemporary giant spent a lot of effort to get the method of strengthening the noodles. After a try, it was amazing. This method of strengthening the noodles seemed like a little trick, but in fact, it deeply tapped the potential of food while the flour expanded. The giant himself conducted an analogy experiment and supplied two groups of people with the same grain base. After three consecutive days, the group using the method of strengthening the noodles not only saved food, but also had a better mental state. Some of the original abdominal discomfort were also treated. Although it was not as exaggerated as half of the pound, the flour processed by the method of strengthening the noodles did have good absorption and eliminated the waste brought by the era of hard noodles. This is not only reflected in the flour itself, but also in the use of flour and other foods in combination.
In the Mohist view, this is Bai Dong's benefiting the world; Liyang Palace surprised Wei Yang and promoted the negotiations between Qin and Wei, which not only saved the Qin and Wei countries from the suffering of war, but also benefited the neighboring countries a lot. This is also beneficial to the world and was in harmony with the Mohist theory of "non-attack". If the Giant Zi had not left Shouyang Mountain easily, she really wanted to go to Lao Qin, hold hands with this doctor Bai Gong, and make a drunk together. Of course, the Mohist family advocates the most simplified food, so it's not enough to drink. I heard that the newly made tea from the Bai family is very good. This is something for health care and diseases, and you can drink it very much. After fleas came to Liyang, they bought a lot of tea, and they were transported to Shouyang Mountain by Mohist disciples from hundreds of kilograms. The tea was born in the mountains and fields, just like wild grass and poles, and the Giant Zi could drink it with peace of mind.
His favor for Bai Dong does not come entirely from tea. The current Mohist giant, Qin Wai (same as Western pronunciation, later used Western), was once praised by Modi as "excellent civil and military affairs, with long-term views, and no closeness." Bai Dong's mohist production was just a matter of elegance in the aristocratic circle. Even the old Gan Long, who loved Mohism as his life, never thought how much impact this thing would have on this era. Qin Wai Xi saw it further and vaguely felt that Bai Dong had great plans, and the carvings on the old bamboo slips would sooner or later be overthrown by this young nobleman; he was only curious whether Bai Dong had a way to solve the expensive bamboo slips. If it could be solved, both Confucian and Mohist schools would cheer in unison. The world's religion is not far away.
Pure Confucianism and Mohism hope to open up the ladder. Confucius advocated that there is no difference in teaching. Mozian should love the world as well. He is a good student who has learned to be self-taught. Naturally, he believes that the more educated people, the better.
Taoism is slightly different. Zhuangzi advocates that everything is natural, and that it is natural if it is not taught. Laozi advocates a small government society, and believes that the less people know, the happier they will be. That is, the so-called fooling people. This is what is called "governing the country with wisdom is the thief of the country; not governing the country with wisdom is the blessing of the country." The Legalists represented by Wei Yang also want to fool the people. Establishing the country with punishment is not a rule of law society with wisdom in the future generations. The more stupid the people, the more conducive it is to implement the "rule of law"!
Qin Huaxi could even feel the pressure Bai Dong faced. Once the real thoughts of this young nobleman were exposed in broad daylight, even if he looked at him now, the old Ganlong would be furious. This era is very tolerant, and that is for scholars and nobles! It is difficult for the people and the people to get a chance to study. Even if there is such an opportunity, they cannot afford to read! It is precisely because of the control of literary affairs and monopolizing the upward channel that the nobles can pass on power from generation to generation and ensure a transcendent status. If someone breaks this situation, what will happen?
Master Meng should support Bai Dong, and he, a contemporary Mohist master, will stand firmly behind Bai Dong, but what about the monarchs of various countries? What about the nobles? What about Taoism? What about the Legalists? Will those who have already occupied huge interests make Bai Dong easier?
It was precisely because of Qin Huaxi's concern that fleas came to Liyang. However, he never thought that Bai Dong was the first to provoke neither Qin Jun nor Qin nobles, but Nie Zhu, the famous "gray shadow" among the assassins!
That was the murderous gray shadow. Legend has it that the person who saw his shadow was already dead. Among them were big names like the king of Yue, some peddlers and pawns, and even some rogues and assassins like him. When being targeted by gray shadow, even experts like fleas would feel cold on their backs.
***
The Bai Family Workshop has become a large slaughterhouse. Countless hunted rabbits and wolves have been stripped of fur, washed carefully in warm water, and then dried naturally to dry. The wolf hair and rabbit hair flutter in the wind, giving a kind of sad beauty.
Those who deal with these furs include the Bai family who have turned into a working class, and there are also some new faces. They seem to be familiar with bitter wine. While working, they are smiling and asking about bitter wine. In fact, how to deal with these furs, bitter wine is also heard from Bai Dong. She is not a qualified translator.
"Sir, this is Willow, he is the leader of these woodworkers."
The bitter wine brought a thin old man with dark skin, especially the skin on his face, which really looked like a piece of willow bark. Willow trees smiled humbly in front of Bai Dong, as if they didn't even dare to raise their heads. Just like all the people who saw nobles, he should have no relatives with Liu Xiahui, a celebrity in the Spring and Autumn Period. The name "Willow trees" is like yam and bitter wine. It is a poor person with no surname or clan.
Moving to Bijiu to rest, Bai Dong unfolded the rabbit skin he was admiring in his hand and blew gently. A whirlpool suddenly formed on the pink rabbit skin, which was round and regular: "What a good fur? I heard Bijiu say, do you call this 'Yuerhong'? Haha, a carpenter actually had such knowledge, which really surprised me."
"When I go back to the doctor, the villain has worked as a carpenter and a cobbler. This is a 'Yuerhong'. There may not be one out of tens of thousands of hares. It is worth a thousand gold! Doctor really wants to use it to make pens? I'm afraid it's a pity..."
"Haha, making pens and literary affairs will help me to flourish my old Qin Kingdom. If it is made into a fur, it will be just a person. What are the benefits of the country? The people of Gongshu will not be so short-sighted, right? I understand, Mr. Gongshu is here to compare me. Fortunately, the boy is not a truly luxurious person, otherwise he will be underestimated by the world's number one skilled craftsman family, and my losses will be too great."
"Doctor, you..."
Willow's face suddenly changed drastically.
Ps: I went to the hospital today and my tailbone was injured and my recovery was very slow. I am currently applying "Futalin" to apply externally to use Shuangfen sustained release tablets. When typing, either stand or raise the keyboard, lean forward, and place the center of gravity at the base of my thigh.
