Qin Hu

Chapter 56 Mohism's Sorrow!

The silk cloth that Zhao Zihu gave to Xiangliyue was indeed full of ingenious knowledge written on it.

But unlike Ma Daha who learned about the pre-Qin period, he knew it but didn't know why, Zhao Zihu started from the most basic teaching.

The Three Laws of Mechanics!

The laws of inertia, the laws of acceleration, and the laws of action and reaction.

Every law is explained in detail, which is why a roll of silk cloth is full, which is exactly the opposite of the concise and concise habit of pre-Qin culture when it is applied to words.

Of course, there was a reason for the simplification of the pre-Qin books, and it wasn't just that the ancients loved to deliberately confuse.

Considering the bulkiness of the bamboo slips, if you don't streamline them, it will be extremely difficult to spread them later.

"The Analects of Confucius" actually doesn't have many words. In later generations, it is just a thin booklet. Even with many annotations from everyone, it is pitifully thin. Compared with those big tomes in the library, it is inconspicuous at all. .

But if it is written on bamboo slips, you have to use a cart to pull them, otherwise you will carry them to school every day, and many Confucian scholars will die of exhaustion every year!
What the ancients said about being rich in learning is actually not an exaggerated sentence, but realism, the ultimate realism.

How many bamboo slips can five carts hold?

It is just a theory!

In future generations, it may be the reading volume of the first and second grades of elementary school!
So... paper is really one of the greatest inventions of human civilization!

"My son, how did you figure out these principles? Isn't this the theory of strength and weight in our Mohist school?"

The old minister looked in amazement, and couldn't help saying hesitantly.

Well, in the Mohist culture, there are also repeated descriptions about mechanics, which are thousands of years ahead of the three laws of mechanics in the West, so you can't accept it!
"It's just that he didn't hesitate to describe it in words, it's more detailed, clear, and clear, and it's a hundred times better than our Mohist's Mohism records..."

The old minister closed the silk scroll, not without regret, and said: "When Mozi studied this theory, he must have made a lot of records, just like what he wrote, but in the end it turned into a few short sentences, calling me When later generations read it, they will only feel that it is in the fog, and they will have to study for a long time before they can understand the truth."

Xiangliyue made the tea and offered a cup to the old Xiangli, and then she unfolded the silk cloth to watch.

After a long while, when Lao Xiangli finished drinking a cup of hot tea, Xiangliyue finally finished reading the detailed exposition of the three laws of mechanics, and carefully rewound it like a treasure.

Seeing her appearance like this, the old man shook his head and said: "What's the use of it? You read it and you understand it, so that's all. If these principles are to be recorded in the Mohist scriptures, it will take many bundles of bamboo slips to write, but If it is simplified, it will be no different from Mo Jing..."

Mohist theory is different from other theories. It involves many scientific principles, but for the convenience of dissemination, the discussion is often very concise.

However, science is nothing more than a waste of pen and ink. If it is to be simplified, it will be like what the old man said. After reading it, people will only feel that it is in the cloud, and it takes a long time to study it to understand the truth. .

Even those with a shallower foundation, self-study without a master, study for a lifetime, and still can't understand what the meaning of the writing is, so fucking fucked.

This is the tragedy of the Mo family!

This is also the biggest reason why many ancient Baigong technologies will be lost and history will be reversed!
And when conditions began to be recorded in detail and spread on a large scale, it was the time when Confucianism was booming. Mohism's various craftsmen were regarded as strange skills and obscene skills, and they could not be developed even if they wanted to.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there was a trend of thought. "Tiangong Kaiwu" and the books translated from the western missionaries were quite good, but after that, it was the Qing Dynasty, which was invincible in the world. Don't even think about it. ...

"I can always find a way. Doesn't he have a fantastic idea? Tomorrow I will ask him for advice and work out a way to weave cloth faster. In the future, the knowledge of our Mohists will not be written on heavy bamboo slips. It's all written on light cloth!"

Xiangli Yuegong Kegou's temper is out, but she doesn't agree with the old Xiangli's words, she thinks that Baigong can solve all problems.

Excited by the granddaughter's ambition, the old Xiangli couldn't help but put away his frustration, nodded and said: "Okay, it's good that you have such ambition, the Mo family will still rely on you young children in the future!"

……

……

At the same time, Yingzheng has also received [Xin Zihu Gongzi Yishu] sent by Zhao Tuo to the Yuzhang.

The memorial was much shorter than yesterday's, but Ying Zheng was so relieved to see it, his eyes were narrowed, and finally he closed the bamboo slips and praised repeatedly: "Good! Great good! Counsel is finally willing to make progress. This time It can be regarded as finding the right wife for him~!"

Xiang Liyue suppressed Zhao Zihu and forced him to learn swordsmanship.

Ying Zheng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, he even wanted to give Xiangliyue his riding whip to support him, if the baby was not obedient, then he would be obedient.

Fortunately, judging from the memorabilia, Counselor also has a temper, and she is extremely serious about learning, as if holding back her energy, trying to surpass her bride.

Therefore, Ying Zheng is very satisfied and gratified!
But Zhao Gao, who was accompanying him today, had a weird expression on his side, as if hesitating to speak.

Ying Zheng put away Yi Shu, cast a glance at Ai Chen, and said angrily, "You speak up when you have something to say, why are you being coy?"

Zhao Gao bowed his hand and said quietly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that when Master Zihu learned riding and archery skills, he hunted all the rare and exotic animals in the imperial garden in just a few days?"

Ying Zheng let out a muffled snort, probably just thinking about it, and he felt a little bit like slapping someone: "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Gaozhao said directly: "Mr. Zihu is very talented in martial arts. Han Fei taught you how to ride and shoot. You have already mastered it in just a short time, leaving Han Fei with nothing to teach."

"It's even more serious now. Yesterday I heard from my little daughter Diao Chan that the young master can shoot a hard bow on a galloping horse, and shoot through the skulls of fleeing beasts thirty steps away. He is more courageous than when His Majesty was young!"

Ying Zheng laughed dumbfounded: "It's not just that he's stronger than me when I was young. In terms of brute force, ten of me plus one, I'm afraid I can't compare to him."

Zhao Gao shook his head: "What I mean is that the young master is very talented. Now that he is practicing martial arts with all his heart, he may overwhelm that Xiangli Shaojun within a few days. How will he discipline him in the future?"

Ying Zheng's smile faltered, and he blinked Danfeng's eyes, falling into a state of bewilderment.

This woke him up a little bit, it seemed that he was too happy, the baby suddenly became motivated, and ninety-nine percent of them were thinking so.

It was a temporary effort for the sake of freedom in the future, not really motivated!
"Since Qing thought of this festival, you must have a way to deal with it?"

Ying Zheng came back to his senses and asked Zhao Gaodao.

Zhao Gao took out Yingzheng's royal horsewhip: "You can give this thing to Xiangli Shaojun, and use it to beat Zihu."

Ying Zheng smiled, but he was thinking of something with him, and said with a smile: "Qing wants to beat him up so much, if he becomes the second emperor in the future, how will you deal with yourself, hahaha..."
