The MOH family's practice of concurrently cultivating a hundred schools soon spread from the Imperial College to the literary circles of Chang'an city. The hundred school theory, which had been silent for thousands of years, was pushed to the forefront of the storm again.
Some people sneer and think that this is nothing and absurd. The example of bus and carriage is just an example.
Someone thought deeply. It has long been difficult for literati to make achievements in their articles after hundreds of schools. Maybe it is a good idea to find another way to cultivate hundreds of schools.
Some depressed and frustrated scholars are greatly moved. Since the traditional method can't succeed, there may be other surprises if you try it.
Some people flatter, others scoff.
The whole literary world of Chang'an city is calm on the surface, but it is turbulent privately.
In the Mo mansion.
Li Chengqian looked at the rows of books of hundreds of scholars in Merton's study, picked up a copy of Lu's spring and autumn and turned it over. He couldn't help but sigh: "brother Mo is a great talent! You can't be as clever as you!"
Merton shook his head and said, "brother Gaoming, you're welcome. It's not the first of my little brother to concurrently cultivate a hundred schools. It's just picking up people's teeth and wisdom. Brother Gaoming is also a part-time practitioner of a hundred schools."
With a flash in his eyes, Li Chengqian asked, "brother Mo, how do you understand this?"
Merton said, "Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty once said:" the Han family has its own system. It is originally a tyrant. This is the way the royal family has always ruled the country. I don't believe brother Gaoming's knowledge is just Confucian classics. "
As the crown prince, Li Chengqian was carefully trained by Li Shimin as his successor. Naturally, all aspects of his subjects should be covered.
"Brother Mo misunderstood. Although Gao Ming learned a lot, he only dabbled a little. He can't compare with brother Mo who also studied a hundred schools." Li Chengqian waved his hand.
At the moment, Confucianism is the orthodox thought. As Prince Li Chengqian, it is natural to maintain the consistency of orthodox thought.
"External Confucianism and internal Dharma are the ruling methods adopted by all dynasties, and there is no taboo," Merton said directly.
On the surface, Confucianism is respected, while the actual operation depends on legalist thought, while Taoist thought is mostly adopted at the beginning of the founding of the country to recuperate.
Now, shortly after the founding of the Tang Dynasty and after Li Tang thought he was Lao Tzu, the trace of Taoism is more obvious.
"Outside Confucianism, inside law, economy is based on Tao."
Li Chengqian was also a wise man. His eyes lit up and thought deeply when he heard the speech.
"Brother Mo is right in his words! Rao is right. Just because brother Mo has broken the door view, it is beyond the ordinary people." Li Chengqian said.
It was royal education that he dabbled in a hundred schools, while Merton, a genuine son of Mohism, took great courage to study a hundred schools.
Merton said with a bitter smile: "my little brother, this is also out of helplessness. The Mohist school is already on the edge of life and death. If it is complacent at this time, it will be self destruction."
"An open Mohist school?" Li Chengqian said quietly. Then he remembered Merton's slogan. He thought that Merton's opening was to let the Mohist School cooperate with a hundred schools. Unexpectedly, he underestimated Merton's mind.
Merton solemnly nodded and said, "yes, open! Only when the Mohists abandon their views and blend with the theories of hundreds of schools can there be cooperation, otherwise everything is just a castle in the air?"
"Castles in the air, what are the allusions?" Li Chengqian was puzzled when he heard this word for the first time.
Merton explained, "this is a Buddhist fable in Tianzhu. It says that there was a rich man who was very stupid. He once saw another rich man who had a three story building that was very beautiful, so he wanted to build one, so he asked the craftsman to start construction. The next day, the craftsman dug the foundation and laid bricks on the ground. The rich man asked," what are you doing? "
The craftsman replied, "I'm laying the foundation and making the bottom layer first." the rich man shook his head and said, "I don't want to go down two layers, just the third layer." everyone laughed at the speech. The rich man was stupid. I don't know if there are no one or two layers, no matter how skillful the craftsman can build a castle in the air. "
Li Chengqian thought deeply and couldn't help nodding in praise: "I didn't expect Tianzhu's knowledge to be so wise."
"The knowledge in this world is more than ten million. Not only all schools of thought have their own strengths, but also all the ancient civilizations outside the Tang Dynasty are bright and prosperous. How can it be a theory and be universal." Merton sniffed.
Li Chengqian was slightly silent. Of course, he knew that Merton's family theory referred to Confucianism. As the crown prince of the current Dynasty, although he was intelligent and his vision was naturally different from that of ordinary people, he also vaguely realized that Confucianism also had various defects. It was not possible to rule the world with a half Analects.
Li Chengqian naturally heard that Merton once said several ancient civilizations, and he also knew that in the Far West, there was a country that was not inferior to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian looked around and saw no one around. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and asked, "what if I find great defects in some theories when I am concurrently studying 100 schools!"
The mood of moton moved, solemnly, saying, "take the essence and go to it."
Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard the speech.
"Wise to be taught!" Li Chengqian solemnly saluted Merton.
With the success of the trial operation of the seven bus carriages in Chang'an County, it added another evidence for Mo Jiazi's concurrent cultivation of the hundred school theory. For a while, the books of the hundreds of schools in Chang'an City sold well again.
Moreover, with the operation of the bus and carriage, its advertising role is once again powerful. Chang'an city is the focus of the Tang Dynasty. There is an endless stream of business trips, which has directly spawned the industry specialized in soliciting customers to Beijing, especially between Chang'an City and Luoyang.
With its huge passenger capacity, four-wheel buses have directly moved these businessmen who specialize in pulling people. Ordinary carriages can only pull up to seven or eight people, while four-wheel buses can directly double, at least 16 people.
The four-wheel bus is naturally different from the bus carriage. All the original standing positions are converted into seats. Even the walkway is made into folding stools. If you don't pity the horsepower, 20 people can pull it.
In the champion building, all the giants of the bus industry in Chang'an city are concentrated here. There is a precedent of Mohist wine. This time, the invitation of Mohist is very smooth.
However, at the moment, the bus giants in Chang'an city are frowning and talking about a topic one after another
"Four wheel bus and intercity bus system!"
Fixed point departure, station construction, horses do not change trains. A new idea made them feel that the trip was worth it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Xu once studied your soliciting mode. If you're not polite, it can be described as extremely chaotic. Families compete for customers and increase money halfway. The biggest problem is that the speed is extremely slow. It takes three or five days to travel from Chang'an city to Luoyang. It's a waste of time." Xu Jie had his last experience and talked freely, The bus giants were ashamed.
"If you adopt the Mohist four-wheel bus and intercity bus system, you can not only more than double the solicitation volume, but also divide the time period and start every half an hour to avoid vicious competition."
"Of course, you can continue to use the original pony, but if you use a four-wheel bus, you can reach your destination in the shortest time. You can save a lot of money for meals in the hotel, not to mention comfortable seats. I think the price is a little higher, and I think some people will accept it! Xu promises that the profits of each family can certainly be doubled."
Everyone has a steelyard in their mind. Compared with ordinary carriages, four-wheel buses have great advantages. If they don't take the lead in adopting them, I'm afraid they will have no place in the future.
With the final accounts in their hearts, four-wheel buses soon sold well.
