Chapter 38
Lord Longyang came over and said to Xiang Shaolong: "I heard that General Xiang was attacked, but was he injured? Who is so bold to rob and kill General?"

Xiang Shaolong looked at his sincere expression, and didn't know if he really didn't know, or because he was good at acting, so he could only say: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm sorry, these young people can't hurt me, there are many people who want to kill me, I didn't It’s time to check these little things.”

Long Yangjun had an admiring expression on his face, and said: "General Xiang is so heroic, I admire him!"

Xiang Shaolong's skin got goosebumps when he looked at him, although he was peerless in appearance, he was a man after all.

Li Yuan and Guo Zong sat together, talking and laughing happily.

Guo Zong, the "king of smelting iron", seemed to have lost confidence in Zhao Guo, and wanted to betroth his daughter Guo Xiu'er to Li Yuan to go to Chu to avoid Qin.But Li Yuan is obsessed with Ji Yanran, and he wants to leave the position of wife to a talented woman Ji, Guo Zong's status is also unusual, although he doesn't mind Li Yuan's flirtatious, his own daughter is definitely not allowed to be a concubine.

Now Li Yuan heard that Ji Yanran had a close relationship with Xiang Shaolong after he left Xianyang, and now he is returning to Daliang, planning to move his family to Xianyang, knowing that it is impossible for him to get Ji Yanran.

Not to mention that Xiang Shaolong's status is far inferior to his own now, he still has his own economic lifeline in his hands, although he has not mastered the paper business for a long time, he has made huge profits and his own strength has also expanded rapidly.I can't blame myself for being bullying and fearing the hard. Although Ji is a talented woman, but there are so many beautiful women in the world, it is impossible for him to have a grudge with Xiang Shaolong for a woman who has no self in his heart.People are in love with each other, even if I am jealous, I can't show it, nothing is as important as the benefits I got, unless one day Xiang Shaolong loses power and can be trampled under my feet, otherwise there are only not so heartfelt blessings.

Li Yuan and Guo Zong came together to toast Xiang Shaolong. Guo Zong said: "The demeanor of General Xiang back then is unforgettable to this day. It's a pity that I was so lucky that I couldn't keep General Xiang. Fortunately, with the general's talent, he can go anywhere. Can’t be buried, now it’s famous all over the world, it’s gratifying to congratulate.”

Xiang Shaolong drank his glass and said, "Mr. Guo has won the prize. My Wu family went far outside the Great Wall to establish a new home, and now I am also involved in the weapon forging industry. Mr. Guo has rich experience. If you have the opportunity, come to Daqin to exchange ideas with everyone. See See if there is any opportunity for cooperation, the world is so big, there is no end to money."

Guo Zong was very surprised, his relationship with the Wu family was not good, it could even be said to be bad.At the beginning, when he was fighting for favor in front of King Xiaocheng, he often slandered each other, but now seeing that Xiang Shaolong had a kind attitude, did not hold any grudges, and even proposed the invitation in person, his mind turned a few times in an instant, and he thought to himself: "His invitation is casual and polite. Sentence? Are you trying to trick me into going to Qin to deal with me? Or are you sincerely inviting me?"

Now he wants to get close to Li Yuan because he intends to avoid Qiang Qin, but it would be better if he could get close to Qiang Qin directly, although the possibility is not high, but even if it is a one in ten thousand chance for such a big matter of wealth and life , can not let go.You can test it first, and at the same time, you can't break the relationship with Li Yuan.As a businessman, he is well aware of the truth that "eggs should not be put in one basket". If you win a gamble, the rewards will be great, but if you lose, you will lose your fortune. With his current wealth, radicalism is not advisable, and insurance is the most important thing.

He quickly thanked Xiang Shaolong for his invitation.

Xiang Shaolong asked Li Yuan again: "Since the farewell to Xianyang, Mr. Li's demeanor is even better than before. Now he is an important minister of Chu State, and his future is limitless."

Li Yuandao: "Don't dare. I dare not forget General Xiang's great kindness. If you have any orders in the future, please don't be polite."

Xiang Shaolong waved his hand and said, "Young Master Li, you are being polite, let's help each other."

Guo Zong was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that they had some unknown relationship, so he had to pay more attention.

Xiang Shaolong walked up to a man in sackcloth and barefoot, raised his wine glass, and said, "Your Excellency must be Mr. Juziyan from the Zhao Mo Guild."

That person didn't seem to have expected that Xiang Shaolong would come to toast him. As Xiang Shaolong, he always sat there and waited for others to toast, so he got up quickly, and he just said, "It's Yan Ping."

As soon as this person stood up, Xiang Shaolong found that he was also tall, half a head shorter than himself, extremely thin, with a vicissitudes of life, and a straight back.

Xiang Shaolong said: "I'm very interested in the thoughts of the Mohists. Since there are Zhao Mo, Qi Mo, and Chu Mo, why doesn't my Great Qin have a Mohist guild?"

Yan Ping is a practitioner. He is not good at words and has an old-fashioned personality. He thought to himself: "We have been pursuing the integration of the three inks, and you want me to split another one. Are you entertaining me? Besides, we are opposed to attacking and plundering. The Battle of Righteousness, as far as the virtues of your Qin State are concerned, can we do well if we go there?" Immediately displeased: "Our Mohist Guild is integrating and unifying, how can we split again?"

Xiang Shaolong just said casually, starting a topic so that we could continue the chat, but he didn't expect him to answer like this, thinking to himself: "Do I mean to split us? I want you to open a branch company, a subsidiary company, Let you become a multinational enterprise."

Xiang Shaolong didn't blame Yan Ping's stiff tone, it might be that his own understanding was different from reality, and he said, "Sorry, Mr. Yan, I offended you because I don't know anything about your guild. I respect the ideas of the Mohists very much. It is not suitable for detailed discussion here today, how about I visit the guild tomorrow?"

Seeing Xiang Shaolong's sincere tone, Yan Ping secretly blamed himself for being sensitive. As Xiang Shaolong, he definitely would not come here to amuse himself, so he still just said bluntly: "Okay."

Xiang Shaolong returned to his seat and toasted with the guests, neither arrogant nor close.

Xiang Shaolong stayed at the Hou Mansion at night.Zhao Mu wanted to arrange some beauties for Xiang Shaolong to sleep with, but Xiang Shaolong refused.

In the Zhao country before, Zhao Mu wanted to send beautiful women to Xiang Shaolong many times, but was rejected, thinking that Xiang Shaolong had a physical problem.After looking at the wives and concubines Xiang Shaolong married, I realized that it was not that Xiang Shaolong was not lustful, but that his vision was too high, and most people looked down on him.

The next day, Xiang Shaolong really went to visit the Mohists Guild.

The place of the Mohists' Guild is not small, but it is very simple.

The Mohists are really practicing their own ideas. They advocate frugality, so they themselves are really simple and not seeking pleasure, instead of letting others be thrifty while they themselves are extravagant and dissipated.This is why Xiang Shaolong respects Mohists, they are a group of activists.

Yan Ping spoke first: "I was too sensitive yesterday, please don't blame General Xiang."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Mr. Yan, please be polite. Mr. Mo Di is a great person. His ideas can show a noble character, and he can practice them in practice. He can be called 'great love in the world', but it is too idealistic and a bit unfair. It is practical, but I can’t deny his correctness. I hope that more and more people will believe in Mohism, but I dare not expect everyone to be Mohist believers. Just like I agree with your frugality, I also think It's a good character, but I can't do it, I'm only seeking pleasure, but that doesn't stop me from respecting people like you."

Yan Ping was very happy to be respected by dignitaries like Xiang Shaolong, although Xiang Shaolong said they were unrealistic, saying: "Qin country practiced the rule of law, but we advocate benevolent government, we Mohists oppose war, and Qin people are warlike , Emphasizing military merits, I never thought that the general would value our Mohist thoughts."

Xiang Shaolong said: "That's why I said that your thinking is too idealistic. You want to educate everyone in the world to become saints, but unfortunately human nature is inherently evil. Selfishness and greed are the root of all disasters. But I still think your thinking is worth promoting, and I am willing to Help you spread your theories. Besides, in my eyes, Mr. Mo Di is not only a thinker and educator, but also a military strategist, scientist, and master craftsman. There are certain studies, which are more worthy of promotion and dissemination. I have a printing factory, which is most suitable for publishing books and can spread culture to the greatest extent. You can compile Mohist thoughts and achievements into books, and I will help you print and disseminate them. More people understand you, but I can't control whether they believe it or not. Our Daqin people are prosperous and the folk customs are simple. If Mr. Yan intends to come to our Daqin for development, I, Xiang Shaolong, can provide some convenience."

Yan Ping didn't know the terms "science", "geometry", and "physics", but they were all good words, and they sounded lofty, and judging from Xiang Shaolong's meaning, it seemed that he valued these more than Emphasis on Mohist political ideas.

Yan Ping thought to himself: "If with Xiang Shaolong's help, I can spread my Mohist thoughts, even if everyone can't believe it, but if it spreads widely, many people will believe it, then I will be a great contributor to the Mohists. It’s gone.” My heart became hot, although Mohists can bear poverty, but they still can’t achieve "all four things are empty", people still have desires after all.

Yan Ping's desire is "fame". He wants to be the leader of the Mohists all over the world, write his name in the history of the Mohism, and his tone became eager, saying: "General Xiang intends to help my Mohism write books and establish a theory." , I am really grateful. As for going to Qin to develop, I have to think about it again. Nowadays, Mohists in the world are divided into three families of Qi, Chu, and Zhao, and they do not belong to each other. If there is another family, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to integrate in the future. "

Xiang Shaolong was puzzled, "Why must it be integrated? How can it be integrated?"

Yan Pingdao: "I Mohists oppose war. Today, the world is constantly conquered. We Mohists want to save the world, so we must integrate the forces of the three Mohists, exert our greatest strength, and strive for our ideals. As for how to integrate, we will get the "Juziling" , you can command the Mohists in the world.”

Xiang Shaolong asked, "Where is Ju Ziling?"

Yan Ping replied, "It's in the hands of Chu Moju's talisman."

Xiang Shaolong suddenly remembered the story in the original book: Yuan Zong wanted to integrate Sanmo with the "Juzi Order", but was chased and killed by Yan Ping, and then met Xiang Shaolong, who passed Mozi's sword skills and Juzi Order to him, and finally He fled to Chu State and was killed.
