Chapter 101: Wishing to Live the People【4k(1/3)
I thought so, but Chen Ke didn't care.
Just have a meal if you want. Li Si and the others often come to his mansion to have a meal.
Even if he gave all the recipes for these meals to Li Si and the others, it wouldn't work.
Those people always say that what they do here is the most authentic.
"Let him in."
"He is indeed my old friend."
After the boy got the order, he went out and invited the people waiting outside the door to come in.
As soon as Lin Fang entered the door, he saw a dark object placed in the room, which looked like it was made of iron.
The shape of this thing is similar to that of a big tripod, but the bottom is round.
Among them, some fragrance escapes.
Lin Fang immediately realized that his uncle was having a meal.
He smiled awkwardly. It always felt a bit rude to come when others were eating.
"Lin Fang, the third disciple of Mowu's sect, has met his uncle."
Chen Ke didn't even raise his head. While eating, he pointed at the stool beside him with his kuaizi.
"Sit down, sit down."
"Since it's a coincidence that I'm here, I just happen to have a meal at my uncle's place before leaving."
Saying that, while eating, Chen Ke looked at Lin Fang who had already sat down and said, "Why did you come to see me?"
"It can't be that my senior brother asked you to come, right?"
Lin Fang found a slightly familiar feeling at this time, and said while eating: "Uncle is still smart."
"I guessed it right away."
He smiled honestly and said, "Master told me to come find Uncle Master."
"Let me give this thing to my uncle."
Lin Fang hurriedly took out a small book from his arms, and he didn't know what was recorded in it.
"I don't know what is written in it, but the teacher said it is very important."
"Let me travel under the stars and night to deliver it to my uncle."
Chen Ke said oh, a strange look flashed across his face.
Why would the Mo family let someone give them something at this time? And what would it be?
Could it be said that it is the thought of Mohism?
He casually took the book from Lin Fang's hand and flipped through it casually.
When he saw the first page of the book, he became serious in an instant.
There are actually many inventions recorded on it!
That's right.
If we use Mohist words to describe it, these are "works of craftsmen."
But if Chen Ke describes it in his own words, then these are typical inventions!
There are many types of them, covering countless fields.
Shipping ships, farming tools, and even some weapons not commonly used by the Mohists!
For the current Da Qin, these things are like providing help in the snow.
Especially some of the ships recorded in it...
Although those ships cannot be compared with the ships of later generations, in Chen Ke's opinion, they already have considerable merits.
certainly--
Compared with the ships of later generations, they are still very backward.
What Chen Ke values is the practical ability hidden in these inventions.
I have never been short of whimsical ideas or anything like that.
After all, there are thousands of years of accumulation in later generations.
But I don’t have the hands-on ability! This is the key.
If all these Mo family members could come to Da Qin... Da Qin's technology could leap forward by at least three hundred years!
Chen Ke squinted his eyes and kept rubbing his hands under the table, thinking about this matter in his heart.
He looked at Lin Fang with seriousness in his voice.
"When senior brother asked you to come, did you say anything?"
Lin Fang saw Chen Ke's serious expression and immediately understood what Chen Ke meant.
He hurriedly said: "Teacher said, in fact, the Mo family has never felt that the uncle did something wrong."
"Under the sky, we are all common people."
"What the Mohists did was just for the stability of the world and the survival of the people."
Lin Fang's expression became even more serious when he talked about his teacher's teachings.
He looked at Chen Ke and said: "Teacher once said that in the past, the Mohists used "universal love", "non-aggression", "frugality" and "honoring the virtuous" as their ideological standards."
"But after seeing the suffering of the people in these troubled times, Mohism's thoughts are gradually changing."
"Although all the thoughts are still focused on "universal love", "non-aggression", "frugality" and "advocating the virtuous", on top of these, there is a more ambitious goal."
Lin Fang said word for word: "That is "for the sake of living and what the people want."
There was reverence on his face.
"This is what the teacher realized after going through troubled times and then when the world was in peace."
Lin Fang scratched his head: "The teacher said that he was not angry with his uncle in the first place."
"I'm just waiting for a result from Uncle Master."
"If the results here, Uncle Master, are good and can let the First Emperor know that he loves the people and cannot be tyrannical."
"The Mo family will send their troops to Xianyang City."
"No matter which lineage the Mohist family is in, they are all making preparations now."
"If Uncle Master fails, then the teacher will take the disciples of the Mo family to hide in the mountains and wait until the Lord Ming appears and come out again."
After listening to Lin Fang's words, Chen Ke had some thoughts in his mind.
What Lin Fang said is probably true.
It is easy to explain that there was no Mohism in the original history.
Without him, the original Chen Ke would have stopped working when he followed Fusu to oppose the county system.
After hearing the news, the mysterious Mohist tycoon was probably disheartened, and then secluded himself in the mountains and forests.
Therefore, during the Qin Dynasty, there was no record of the emergence of the Mohist family at all.
But now, his appearance not only allowed "Chen Ke" to continue to live, but also gained the trust of the First Emperor.
The few things he took out were even promoted by the First Emperor.
He also taught Fusu that "benevolence" and "dharma" should go hand in hand. I'm afraid his senior brother had another fire burning in his heart, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Ke actually smiled.
If he has help, won't he be free?
If anything happens, it would be good to leave it to the Mo family.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Fang: "Senior brother, is this what you said?"
"That's good."
"When I see your majesty, I will tell you this matter, and your majesty will definitely sweep the bed to welcome you."
Chen Ke walked forward and patted Lin Fang on the shoulder.
"But senior brother, why did you even leave the weapons to me?"
"Aren't you afraid that if I offer it to Great Qin, it could be used by Great Qin in the war?"
Lin Fang smiled honestly: "Now that the world is stable, even if this weapon is used, it will be against the Xiongnu and Baiyue."
He opened his mouth, and the smile on his face looked honest, but it always made people feel scared.
"The teacher said that a white horse is not a horse, so is it a foreigner?"
"Not human."
