Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 125 The Mohist Orthodox Controversy Will Begin
"Controversy over morality?"

Fang Yuan was puzzled and asked in surprise.

"I discovered Deng Ling's Mo's fellow disciple these days."

The giant pondered for a moment, then said solemnly.

"Deng Ling's ink?!"

Fang Yuan frowned, also a little surprised.

I learned from Mo Zi before that after Mo Zhai, Mohism was divided into three schools, the Mo of Xiangli, the Mo of Xiangfu, and the Mo of Dengling.

Xiangli's ink: based on technology, pursuing invention and creation, hoping to promote the righteousness of the world through the benefit of equipment.

Xiangfu's Ink: The pursuit of ideological and philosophical emancipation, illusory idealist, representative of logical dialectics.

Deng Ling's ink: A great chivalrous man is for the country and the people. The chivalrous men who once made the princes of all countries fearful are now rangers with varying qualities.

"Well, it's them, a group of rotten scum, wherever they appear, there will be bloody storms."

Juzi nodded, with an unconcealable disgust on his face.

The newly split Deng Ling's Mo has its own persistence, for the country and the people.

But until now, they have become the scum of the rivers and lakes who kill people and seize treasures.

It's called a ranger, but it's just because you have a sword in your hand and you know how to do it.

"Don't worry, Juzi, if they dare to make trouble in Liaozhou, I will let them come and go!"

Fang Yuan glanced at the giant, and said in a deep voice.

He knew that there was a lot of personal emotion in Juzi's words.

Although Deng Ling's ink is no longer what it used to be, it's not that bad either.

The more reason is that Deng Ling's ink is not easy to distinguish, and some people in the world do bad things in the name of Deng Ling's ink.

As time goes by, the bad things done by Ranger will also be blamed on Deng Ling's ink, and the reputation of Deng Ling's ink will become worse and worse.

But since Juzi hated them, he would naturally stand on Juzi's side unconditionally and escort him in the so-called orthodox struggle.

"I don't go out much, just avoid it. I'm worried about you."

The giant shook his head.

He has no interest in orthodox disputes.

He didn't want to make a move if those fellow students didn't force him to come.

But in some of the constructions for Fang Yuan, he showed the techniques of the Mohists.

If those colleagues notice, they will definitely stare at Fang Yuan, worried that something will happen.

"You don't have to worry about that giant, I have Bowu and the others protecting me now."

Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled.

He has tight security in the Governor's Mansion or Fang Mansion.

When they go out, they will not go out alone, Xue Bowu or Zheng Jiu will follow them.

Moreover, a mere ranger dared to fight against himself as the governor, did he think his life was too long?

"This is also, I think too much."

Juzi nodded, his smile was a little stiff.

"Is there anything else?"

Fang Yuan could see that he had other concerns.

"No, don't think about it."

"By the way, the nine-story Star Observatory will be completed tomorrow."

The giant shook his head and changed the subject.

After several months, the nine-storey Star Observatory is finally about to be completed.

Their Mohist Research Institute has another place where they can conduct research at will.

"Tomorrow will be fine?"

"Then I won't go to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow."

Fang Yuan was immediately attracted, and was also happy and excited.

The Mohist Research Institute devoted most of Fang Yuan's efforts and invested a lot in it.

As long as it is the request mentioned by the people of the Mohist Research Institute, Fang Yuan will try his best to meet them.

"Yes, I'll go back and see if there's anything missing, and make sure it's perfect tomorrow."

The giant smiled triumphantly.

Patted Fang Yuan's shoulder, turned and left.

Fang Yuan looked at Juzi's leaving back, and sighed in his heart.

Ju Zi had something on his mind, but he refused to say anything, probably because he was afraid of embarrassing himself.

Turn around and let the state officials of the Governor's Mansion stare at the rangers who appeared in Liaozhou City to see why they appeared.

The night passed.

Fang Yuan did not go to the Governor's Mansion the next day.

Around Si time, Juzi came to inform the completion of the nine-story Star Observatory.

Soon, Fang Yuan and others came to the forbidden area of ​​Fang Mansion, where outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Even though the Xue family siblings have moved in for so long, they were not allowed to enter because of construction and other reasons.

"Wow, is this the nine-story Star Observatory? It's so tall!"

Xue Jiaoyan also followed, and sighed in an uproar when she saw the nine-story Star Observatory.

In her memory, there is no such tall building in Liaozhou, and this place should be the tallest.

This is a gray-white circular frustum building with a diameter of 200 meters at the bottom, a diameter of 100 meters at the top, and a height of 50 meters. There are several windows on each floor.

"Go straight up or go up?"

Juzi looked at the roof and asked with a smile.

"Can you go straight up?"

Xue Jiaoyan was even more shocked.

Little mind with big questions.

But no one answered her question.

"Go straight up!"

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

The design he proposed can naturally go up directly.

"Zhou Shi, come and help."

The giant shouted to a young man.

Zhou Shi is Juzi's apprentice and assistant, he is about the same age as Fang Yuan, but he looks much fairer, a little pale-faced, due to the lack of sun.

Soon, several people walked into the nine-story Star Observation Building and stopped at a large door inside.

The giant pressed a card slot on the side of the door, and there was a booming sound inside the door, and the door opened slowly and automatically, retracting to the side.

"Wow, so amazing!"

Xue Jiaoyan exclaimed.

Even Hong Xu and Qing Yan were amazed again and again.

None of them had ever seen a door that opened automatically, and they were all in shock.

After the giant heard their surprise, his face showed a smug expression.

"It's louder."

"The speed of opening the door is also a little slower."

Fang Yuan made an opinion.

"The equipment is not yet mature and is being adjusted."

Juzi suddenly became unhappy, and said with a puckered mouth.

Fang Yuan nodded and did not speak again, he walked in after the door was fully opened.

The space is quite large, and it can accommodate about fifteen people. There is a hand crank wheel on the side of the door.

The light is not dark, and the windows are designed to let the light shine in.

"Fang Yuan, what is this called?"

Xue Jiaoyan followed in, watching like a curious baby.

This is just a space, there is nothing particularly outstanding, but Xue Jiaoyan is very curious.

"No, it's called a hand elevator."

Fang Yuan was about to say it was an elevator.

But after seeing the hand-shaft wheel at the door, it was renamed the hand ladder.

This is a hand ladder researched based on the elevators of the later generations, through Fang Yuan's ideas and the technology of the Mohist Research Institute.

Through the manual shaft wheel, the machine such as the rotating shaft hidden inside the house is controlled to achieve the effect of rising and falling, and send people to the floor they want to reach.

At this time, the giant pressed the card slot next to the door again, and the door closed slowly. With a final bang, the door was confirmed to be closed.

Zhou Shi stood by the hand crank wheel at the door, grabbed the hand crank with one hand and shook it clockwise, and the hand ladder started to rise slowly with another bang.

Judging by Zhou Shi's expression and movements, it doesn't take much effort to turn and shake his hands.

"This, this, this, it's amazing!"

Xue Jiaoyan's mouth grew so big that she could stuff salted duck eggs.

"Sir, how did you do this?"

Hong Xu and Qing Yan were also extremely shocked.

They stood still, but felt themselves ascending.

This feeling makes them feel both exciting and scared.

"Ask the giant."

Fang Yuan said calmly.

But my heart is also very exciting.

Without the technology of later generations, hand ladders could be made in the Tang Dynasty.

The excitement brought about by this kind of achievement is no less than picking up millions.

"Giant~"

Hongxu Qingyi and the others looked at Juzi with admiration.

The giant suddenly became flustered, and after a dry cough, he introduced the structure of the hand ladder and so on.

At about [-] breaths, the hand ladder stopped, reached the top, pressed the card slot again, and the door of the hand ladder was slowly opened
As soon as the door was opened, Fang Yuan saw the flat concrete surface and the vast sky, and the surroundings were arranged like a manor, with flowers, grass and trees.

Hongxu, Qingyi and Xue Jiaoyan were in an uproar, looking at the ninth-floor roof like a paradise, intoxicated for a while.

Fang Yuan walked to the outermost guardrail, he could see everywhere in Fangfu, even half of Liaozhou city, he couldn't help feeling heroic for a while.

"How about it?"

"Satisfied?"

Juzi walked to Fang Yuan's side, hehe said with a smile.

Standing here and looking at Liaozhou, he feels like Liaozhou is in his hands, not to mention Fang Yuan who is the governor.

"very satisfied!"

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

I am really satisfied, the nine-storey Star Tower here is even better than the one in Wuling County.

Worried about being discovered, the nine-story Star Observatory in Wuling County controlled the height and location, and blocked it with Fangfu.

But I am not afraid here, I am the governor here, not to mention building a nine-story star observation building, even a tall building like the entire Liaozhou City.

"It's good to be satisfied!"

"That's the tenth floor, the key among the keys. There are only two keys, one for you and one for me."

Juzi pointed to a place on the roof of the ninth floor and said.

And took out a copper key from his pocket and gave it to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan took it, and looked at the tenth layer of exclamation that seemed to be nothing special

If you look down from the sky, you will find that the various layouts of the flowers and plants on the roof of the ninth floor are not simple, and the location of the tenth floor is even more terrifying.

In the afternoon Fang Yuan was on duty at the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as the person arrived, Si Gong Wang Wenshu walked out with a stack of materials.

"Lord Governor, there are not enough masters to open the academy. These are the masters selected by the lower officials. Would you like to have a look?"

Wang Wenshu said respectfully.

After returning from Sanjia Village that day, Fang Yuan asked him to start reopening the State Academy.

He is busy these days, cleaning the former academy, buying books, looking for teachers and so on.

"Are there not enough doctors in our governor's office?"

Fang Yuan asked without a wrinkle.

He remembered that there were several doctors in the Governor's Mansion.

These Ph.D.s don't have any jobs at ordinary times, and occasionally help with writing and drawing.

"There are only five doctors in our governor's office, and at least 13 people are needed to meet the opening of the academy."

Wang Wenshu said truthfully.

College is not so easy to open.

Just teaching the teacher is a difficult point here.

"It's so much."

Fang Yuan frowned and said.

In this way, it is seven more wages.

"Yes."

Wang Wenshu said with a sneer.

13 people is the minimum standard for opening a college.

If it is lower than this number, a little more students will not be satisfied, and the problem will be even bigger at that time.

"Just follow your choice."

Fang Yuan casually glanced at the wife Wang Wenshu chose.

I didn’t know them all, but the information was pretty good, so I didn’t read any more.

"Lord Governor, there is still a famous person here. If we can invite him out of the mountain, it will be of great help to our students in Liaozhou. The title of the gold list is not a problem!"

Wang Wenshu took out another document and said.

"Then you invite him here, and the monthly salary can be slightly higher."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said.

"Please don't move this famous official."

"He said that he would come out of the mountain only if you were willing to invite him in person."

Wang Wenshu looked at Fang Yuan and said embarrassingly.

"Which celebrity has such a temper?"

Fang Yuan couldn't help being amused, and took over the documents to read.

"Xiao Ai, 49 years old, from Pingcheng County, Liaozhou. He used to teach at Bingzhou College. He moved to Pingcheng County because he offended his superiors. He occasionally taught one or two students in the county in his free time. He taught a total of ten students in Pingcheng County. The title of the seven-person gold list."

Wang Wenshu introduced from the side.

It is worth mentioning that in the absence of state colleges in most places, teachers set up small schools privately, and students pay some tuition fees to study.

There are no paper and pens, and no books. They have to buy everything by themselves. The teacher can teach as much as the teacher can teach, what level of students can be brought out, and so on.

Then after the spring time, the students went to the state capital to take part in the imperial examination.

At this time, the imperial court paid little attention to the imperial examination.

"A total of ten people have been taught, and seven of them have won the gold list?"

Fang Yuan is more concerned about this.

This is a real achievement, stronger than any word of mouth.

You must know that the imperial examination in this era is much more difficult than in later generations, and Liaozhou is still a small place.

Xiao Ai's ability to have such achievements in a small county is enough to prove that his ability is not a problem.

"Yes, otherwise the subordinate officials would not dare to mention it to you."

Wang Wenshu said respectfully.

"Aside from asking me to go there in person, does he have any other requirements?"

Fang Yuan asked after pondering for a moment.

Talent, you can go in person.

It can also be regarded as a manifestation of the emphasis on imperial examinations.

"No mention."

Wang Wenshu shook his head and said.

"If that's the case, let me go."

"You prepare some gifts and bring them, and then notify the magistrate of Pingcheng County with my order, and ask him to wait for me at Xiao Ai's house."

"Make the battle bigger, let more people know that the official attaches great importance to the imperial examination, and let more students know that the official is willing to bow down for their future."

Fang Yuan laughed.

There was Zhang before and Xiao Ai after.

Regardless of whether it is a talent or not, I have completely given out the name of attaching importance to the imperial examination.

For the rest, it depends on how many people in Liaozhou respond, and how many of those who respond can be named on the gold list.

"Yes!"

Wang Wenshu responded excitedly, and then left.

He quickly prepared the gift, and asked Sun Taihe to be informed quickly.

In the afternoon, Fang Yuan set off for Pingcheng County in a special carriage for the governor.

At this time, Sun Taihe, the county magistrate of Pingcheng County, was already standing at Xiao Ai's door, along with officials such as the county magistrate and the master book.

The people who didn't know why watched it stop one after another, so that more people were curious about what happened, and more people paid attention to it.

As the protagonist, Xiao Ai didn't know what happened, but he knew that the county magistrate was standing at the door of his house, and refused to enter even if asked.

It was originally an ordinary house, but at this time it attracted the attention of most people in the county.
