My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!
Chapter 782 The No. 1 Gate in the World
Chapter 782 The First Sect in the World
In the autumn of this year, it was almost a year since Qin II ascended the throne.
Inside the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, a group of young Mohists were scattered in the underground palace attics. Led by the person in charge of supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum, they formed teams of three or four and used lead pens to record various tools and instruments on wooden cardboard.
Originally, this information was top secret.
Because Qin Shihuang didn't want anyone to rob his tomb, he knew that these technologies were ahead of the world, but he would rather they be buried deep underground than reveal any information to outsiders.
When the expansion and renovation of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was decided, starting from the transformation of the original royal mausoleum into a super underground palace, designers Li Si, Zhang Han and others widely recruited famous craftsmen from all over the country to gather in Xianyang city.
Zhang Han decided to pay extremely generous salaries to the craftsmen who got this job, and some of them even received titles directly for solving key technical problems.
Li Si, Zhang Han and others offered extremely generous rewards to those who built the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and accordingly the craftsmen also had to pay a certain price.
Or enter the mausoleum and become the eternal gravekeeper.
Or you could leave the mausoleum and become someone who could never speak again.
The supreme ruler of the world does not want to be disturbed by anyone after his death, so naturally he will not show any special mercy in this matter.
In fact, there have been people buried alive in tombs since ancient times. Is it possible that these people buried alive were the designers of the tomb mechanisms themselves?
In order to keep the secret forever, they might as well let them live with the owner of the underground palace forever.
But with Fusu's rise to power, he was determined to change this situation.
Emperors could be worshipped, the people could build temples for them, and the people could confer titles on them.
However, after the emperor's death, he was not allowed to build an underground palace as extravagantly as Qin Shihuang did, and he was even more not allowed to keep the technology and excellent craftsmen in the underground palace forever like Qin Shihuang did.
Therefore, Xiang Liche came here mainly for two things. One is to preserve the technology, and the other is to come here to deal with the matter of the designers and senior craftsmen in various areas of the imperial mausoleum being transferred to Mo Ge.
Fusu had long since abandoned his fantasy. Mao was great, but we must face reality. There is only one Mao in the two thousand years of history.
First of all, Fusu himself would not become Mao, nor could he become a person like Mao.
Secondly, Fusu would not fantasize about creating Mao's ideal. Thirdly, Fusu would not blindly create such a pure and passionate warrior.
That's not realistic.
Just like Tai Chi invented by the ancients, there are both dark and bright sides in human nature. If we only emphasize the bright side of a person, where will the dark side go?
Therefore, Fusu did not blindly follow the Mohist school of pure dedication.
The main reason is that Fusu traveled through time and space to the modern era, and after seeing so many things that happened in history and the ruling style of Ying Zheng, Fusu's mentality changed. He no longer emphasized excessive pursuit of something, but instead hoped to let nature take its course.
Qin Shi Huang pursued absolute unity. The more he pursued the ultimate unity, the more his obsessive-compulsive disorder pushed him to the edge of the cliff. If he had chosen Wang Wan's border fiefdom, the Qin Dynasty would still have a chance. But he didn't.
Qin Shi Huang pursued absolute suppression of the people. The more he pressed down, the more the people wanted to rebound and break through class oppression. Even the farmhands working on the land were thinking of rebelling.
Later, Fusu thought he was not qualified to evaluate him. However, judging from historical facts, it is possible for individuals to pursue lofty ideals, but it is unrealistic for individuals to make everyone become people with lofty ideals and dedicate themselves to others.
In fact, it is not that other people have the opportunity to do bad things, but that he wants to do bad things, so he gives himself such a reason. Bad people can give themselves countless reasons.
Fusu knew that he could not create the ideal world and society he wanted, but he could avoid following the footsteps of Qin Shihuang and pursue absolute ideals.
Fusu hoped that the Mohists of Daqin would have their own style, be pragmatic, hardworking, and loyal to their duties, not to mention those distant goals of serving the people. First, this was Daqin, and the actual basic conditions were limited.
Secondly, among the people living in this world, maybe 99% of them cannot even serve themselves, let alone 90%. How can they serve others? Isn’t this nonsense?
Therefore, it is still emphasized that the public officials of the Qin Dynasty should abide by the law, follow the rules of the industry they are in, abide by the law themselves, and not be greedy and use their power for personal gain. That’s all they should do!
Therefore, the new generation of Mohists in the Qin Empire were classified in the same way as those originally defined in the Jixia Academy.
One type specializes in technology and scientific research, that is, taking a pragmatic approach.
The other type is to do some academic research, ideological guidance, etc. Fusu also does this ideological guidance work, but he does not want to do it everywhere.
Everyone is very rebellious deep down. If a good thing is at hand and no one is shouting at him to do it, he will just do it. But if someone is shouting at him from behind, asking him to be a good person and do good things, he will not want to do it.
Fusu did not oppress the people, but he also did not force them to be good people or do good things.
As long as he can walk in the middle, not only will it be easy for him as the emperor and he won't have a headache all the time, but the people living in such a country with rules but loose standards will also feel relaxed and comfortable. When they are in a good mood, they will do a few good things.
With this idea in mind, Fusu did not put any pressure on the Mohists at all.
The Mohist School is a confidential technical talent department with a few talented people. These few talented people are the ones who are truly willing to promote politics in the world according to the spirit of Mozi.
However, this is exactly contrary to absolute obedience to the orders of Qin II.
Therefore, the Mohist Sect of the Qin Dynasty is not that mysterious, and it does not have any absolute confidants; it is just 80% technical talents and 10% to 20% of those who promote the Mohist spirit.
It’s not that high-end, but it’s down-to-earth.
After Mo Men saw the light of day again and went to Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum to observe and learn technology, the people in Xianyang City were delighted and excited.
Anyway, since Qin II ascended the throne, everyone in Xianyang city, young and old, from top to bottom, lived as if every day was New Year's Day.
When the Mohist Gate was brought to light again, Xiang Liche led the Mohists to discuss and rectify the previously sealed technical processes in the underground palace with the officials in charge of the underground palace, and finally compiled official publicly readable documents and books.
When Mo Men brought those technologies out of the underground palace, they introduced them into production practice and inventions; in addition to the technologies and mechanisms in the underground palace, there was also the transfer of talents.
As I said, Fusu doesn't want to engage in any ridiculous talent training.
Man is one of the three talents on a par with heaven and earth. Whoever treats man as a fool is a fool himself.
Even animals have thoughts and spirituality, let alone living people.
The more you train, the more it appears that you are guilty, so it is better to do more talent transfers and bring in more people while you are still alive.
The era of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period has passed. Those lofty and passionate ideals might have been an impotent roar against that cruel era. Why should we cling to them?
So in just three months, Mo Men grew into the largest and strongest sect in the world!
From then on, Confucianism could no longer catch up with Mohism.
In Fusu's assumptions, the Confucians of the future would use rulers to educate the ruling class, while the Mohists would be able to conquer the world with muskets, and at home they would be able to invent advanced technologies to improve people's food, clothing, housing and transportation in all aspects.
