"This is the way of offering sacrifices to Mohist saints. I can say I am very disappointed." suddenly another voice sounded, which immediately made the scene silent.
"Yu Zhining!" Li Shimin frowned, but did not say anything. After all, Merton had already made an appointment with him when he was in the court.
"Yu Yushi?"
The crowd exclaimed one after another. They couldn't help sighing that it was not easy for Merton to set up an ink technology exhibition. First, the Mohist Xiangfu family smashed the field, and then encountered difficulties caused by the imperial historian of the current Dynasty.
"What's going on?" Kong Desheng asked with a frown.
Kong Yingda whispered out the causes and consequences of Yu Zhining's marriage with Merton.
"It can also be regarded as a loyal and righteous man of Confucianism." Kong Desheng's eyes changed. Yu Zhining acted as the vanguard of Confucianism against Mohism, which can be said to be the meaning of Kong Desheng.
"That's the old man! It's very bad. My brother-in-law just built a new house for my sister, and he also destroyed it." Li Zhi said with a curl of his mouth.
"Yes!" Princess Jinyang quickly echoed, firmly standing on her sister's side.
Princess Changle also frowned. She didn't like Zhining instinctively. Even if she had a good temper, how could she not be angry when she heard that someone was making trouble at her wedding.
"Don't worry, since Merton didn't suffer a loss in the court, he must be clearly prepared at the moment." Li Chengqian comforted.
Princess Changle nodded and couldn't help looking at Merton. Merton glanced at Yu Zhining and said in a loud voice, "well, the Mohists have been suspected and misunderstood many times since they appeared in Chang'an city. Today, Mo will know everything and speak freely with you to solve the knot."
Kong Desheng's face was embarrassed. He knew that Merton's words were probably said to their Confucianism. I'm afraid the main force of Mohism is Confucianism.
"First of all, let's talk about what ink technology is. The so-called ink technology is to specially crack the truth hidden between various phenomena in heaven and earth, let it be used by us, and change heaven and earth with manpower. Its truth is the same as that of the Confucian Xunzi. In the pre-Qin period, the Mohist studied optics. I'm afraid the world thought it was useless at that time. However, today, because of the emergence of glass , the light shines brightly, and everyone can see things clearly. This is the magical effect of ink technology. It benefits itself by borrowing foreign things. "Merton explained. Li Yun nodded when he heard the speech. This is what the Mohist school has always been proud of.
Merton continued: "The purpose of Mohist ink art exhibition is to let more people know the secrets of the world. They will not be frightened by seeing Tiangou eating the sun, or confused by seeing puzzling phenomena. There are Johor rice in southern countries to double the output, and cotton workers in the west to keep out the cold. Some people may say that even without Mohist, these items may come naturally one day, but the process may be late For decades, hundreds of years, even thousands of years, in which, how much will Datang lose and how many families starve? The role of Mohism is to accelerate this process ten times, one hundred times, and take the initiative to seek screening and choose what is useful for the benefit of the people. "Merton added.
Li Shimin couldn't help sighing that the Mohist school did take the initiative. The rise of the Mohist school has greatly benefited the Tang Dynasty in the past three years, which can't be erased by anyone.
"Some people may say that Mohism has searched all the good varieties in the world. Isn't this not a chance for other hundred schools? Then I'll point you to a place where Mohism hasn't been involved, the shore of the East China Sea." Merton pointed to the East and looked deeply.
"It is well known that all lakes have shores, and the lake water will dry up if there is a gap. In Mo's view, the water in the East China Sea will never dry up. It must be a super large ocean, not boundless, but we haven't arrived. Datang is its west coast, and there must be a vast land in the East, where countless plants and animals grow. Datang is not Can you dare to take the improved seeds that have existed? "
Merton looked around and suddenly the whole audience was quiet. In everyone's understanding, the sea was extremely terrible. Ships were often destroyed and people were killed, swallowing countless lives. Although everyone agreed with Merton, no one dared to take this risk.
"You can't wait, but the Mohists will go one day and build a huge ship to break through the waves and bring back improved seeds for the Tang Dynasty." Merton said sonorously.
"There are also some ink skills hidden between the mysteries of heaven and earth, such as Qu Yuan plow, artificial incubation, summer ice making, brick road and glass. As long as these things exist, Mohism will never disappear, even if Mohism is silent for thousands of years. When these things are discovered one by one after a thousand years, that is, when Mohism rises again, but Mohism cannot and will not be When he appears, the significance of Mohist research on ink technology is to discover these secret skills that benefit the country and the people as early as possible, so that people can eat enough, wear warm clothes, and do more work with the most labor-saving machinery.
If the Mohists don't take the initiative to explore these, one day, the far west country or the unknown country on the coast of the East China Sea will find these ink skills first, drive a warship bigger than Datang, hold a weapon sharper than Datang, and throw gunpowder with a stone catapult, what will we do on that day? "
Merton's series of questions made everyone silent, especially Li Shimin. If gunpowder is controlled by other countries, I'm afraid he won't sleep safely.
"Mo is not a show of merit, but to explain to you the fact that the great Tang Dynasty of Mohism is an indispensable knowledge. The world believes that the rise of Mohism must be the credit of my Mohist son, but I don't think so. Even without me, brick roads will appear one day, four-wheel carriages will appear one day. Their appearance is not accidental, but inevitable, because of people We need to walk in the rain and pull more goods,
Heating and cotton will appear sooner or later, because people need to wear warm clothes and live in warm rooms; all kinds of improved varieties will arrive in Datang sooner or later, because people need to eat enough. Even if there is no Mohist school, someone will do it.
This is the way of saints! People's daily use is the way!
However, theories that are useless to the people will eventually be abandoned by the people. Even if they remain silent for another thousand years, they will still rise. This is the way of saints finally realized by Mohism. "
"People's daily use is the way!"
For a moment, all the people present were silent.
Kong Desheng suddenly thought deeply and said in unison: "my husband, Kong Desheng, the 30th generation of the Confucius family, since the Mohist wizards are here, I don't know if I want to ask about Confucianism, but the way of saints."
"After Kong Sheng, he asked the Mohist school!" many people couldn't help shouting when they looked at Kong Desheng in the box.
Merton bowed and said, "it's Master Kong. Confucianism teaches people ethics and etiquette, the way of a gentleman, and people all over the world examine themselves three times a day. Naturally, it's the way of saints. No matter how the world changes, Confucianism will never wither."
Kong Desheng nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, his words changed: "I don't know how mohou treats the dispute between Confucianism and Mohism."
Merton was stunned and said proudly: "the mind of the strong people of Confucianism and the physique of the strong people of Mohism can't reach their personal strength. If one person uses ink technology, he can surpass the power of ten people. In the future, he may surpass the power of a hundred people, and it's not impossible for a thousand people. Do you say that Mohism will be abandoned by a Hundred Surnames again? No! So no matter how Confucianism and Mohism compete, the final result can only coexist!"
Kong Desheng solemnly shook his head. In this way, the Mohist school will not be abandoned, even become stronger and stronger.
"Why don't mohou comment on the other hundred schools?" Kong Desheng seduced.
Merton naturally guided Kong Desheng's intentions, but he didn't think so. Lang said: "arithmetic is used by everyone, and it will rise one day."
When Zu Mingjun heard this, his blood was boiling. He waved his hand vigorously. He was too excited to control himself.
"The people will encounter a lawsuit one day, and the Legalists will survive forever."
In a remote corner, Han Fuzi smiled knowingly, which was exactly what he wanted to say.
"Taoism is for people to believe in natural incense, and of course, so is Buddhism."
"Limitless Heavenly Master!"
Li Chunfeng involuntarily eulogized the Taoist horn, but when he heard Merton's judgment on Buddhism, he couldn't help frowning.
Kong Desheng nodded and said, "it's also pertinent."
"But in my opinion, there must be one among the hundreds of schools that is destined to rise." Merton smiled knowingly.
"Oh! Would you like to hear the details?" Kong Desheng raised his eyebrows.
Merton showed a mysterious smile and said word by word: "novelist!"
"What's the solution?" Kong Desheng didn't understand.
"The boy found that no one would like to read the obscure Mo Sutra. Instead, everyone loves to read the relaxed and interesting Mo Zi's Secret works. The Liang Zhu created by the boy accidentally is a popular novel in the Tang Dynasty. Elder Kong thought it would rise." Merton asked.
"If you can't rise, it's against the way of saints." Kong Desheng laughed.
