warring states careerist

Chapter 394
If there is no accident, Mo Di knows that these orders may be the last orders issued by himself as a "mohist giant".

He planned to hand over his position as a giant to Qin Huali at the official gathering of the Mo family after things in Sishang had settled down.

Because if he stepped down from the position of giant, there would be a shortage of Qiwuhai's spot, and he could fill it up according to the order.

And because Wei Yue's previous ideas have been criticized, and this time with the big victory in Lushui, Shi's ranking may be higher, but in order to appease some factions within the Mohist school, it is not good to directly make Wei Yue's identity too embarrassing.

In this way, when Qin Huali formally took over the position of Juzi, the candidate for the next Juzi can be decided.The next tycoon must at least be elected from Qiwuhai, and the appropriate status is now one of the three candidates for Qiwuhai, which requires him, the tycoon at this time, to make some foreshadowing.

Just as he expected before, after these few orders and invitations were issued, even though it was made clear that there might be many dangers, the hundred and fifty non-Mohists present were still not afraid, agreed one after another, and quickly divided up. There are two parts going north and west.

This time, the Mohist family paid a lot of money. The westbound part was all equipped with copper matchlock pistols, which were originally intended to equip the cavalry and use it to shoot a round before the impact to open the impact gap, but now Priority was given to them.

In addition to a bronze pistol for each person, there are also [-] horses. If there is a shortage, you can buy some from other countries. Anyway, this time, the monarchs of all countries need to send people to participate. The estimated number of people and horses is more than now. .

And more than 200 matchlock guns, a hundred iron swords, plus some iron pots used for transactions on the way and to show the wealth of Zhuxia.

Goods such as silk will be replenished in other countries.

The one leading the westbound team was Suo Lucan, a disciple of Qin Huali.

This is the best candidate for the westward journey recognized by the Mohists.

Before Suolu joined the Mohist School, he was a famous "giant cunning" in all countries in the Central Plains.In other words, before joining the Mohism, Suo Lucan was a well-known "fraudster" in the aristocratic circles of various countries in the Central Plains, and was considered a "scum" by the upper class.

He is also of orthodox aristocratic background, really older than King Wu of Zhou, Suolu is one of the seven surnames of Yin and Shang.After the Duke of Zhou was divided, he moved to the State of Lu and became a huge family in the State of Lu.

Before joining the Mohism, Suo Lucan used to cheat and seduce among the nobles. He used his own way to exercise his "chivalry" way.

He can speak the dialects of various countries, he is a genius, and he can be familiar with any dialect in just one month.

He was extremely cunning, and he succeeded in every deception. The nobles who were deceived thought they had made money, and they never missed it, and no one ever retaliated.

He is proficient in rhetoric and is good at debating, but he is not as good at reasoning or digging into a dead end like Debate 54. He is quick-witted and decisive in situations, and can often save the day.

In addition, after studying Mohist culture with Qin Huali, he was also proficient in Mohist classics. In addition, he was born in a down-and-out aristocrat, and he received an excellent education when he was young.

You can wear short brown straw sandals to do justice, you can also be proficient in Chinese clothes and saber etiquette, and you can drink and have fun with nobles, sing poetry, and play with silk strings.

Good at shooting, good at fencing, and fond of music, these skills are his means of deception, and they are also the basis for him to be able to perform deception in the noble circle.

He has traveled to many places, from the state of Lu to the state of Qin, and has been cornered many times, so he has developed an instinct to escape danger.

All of these make him the undisputed candidate to lead the team this time.

Before this mission, Suo Lucan was mainly doing communication work in the Mohist stronghold in the Central Plains, and he was able to handle it with ease.

He is very charismatic and talented, otherwise he would not be famous all over the world for his knowledge after studying under Qin Huali.

In addition, he belongs to the kind of person who has a good reputation, knowing that he is a fraudster, but many nobles can't help but make friends with him, so it is suitable to be in charge of liaison and transportation.

Now he is only about 30 years old, in his prime, but he has a wealth of experience.

From a down-and-out aristocrat to a swindler wandering in the upper class to a Mohist who is bent on benefiting the world, this kind of identity change is not possible for ordinary people, but he has completed such an experience in less than thirty years.

Judging from the aesthetics at this time, she is really beautiful, with a height of eight feet, handsome eyebrows and a pair of high spirits. Even wearing the short brown of the Mohist school, she still does not conceal her beauty.

With the advantage of speaking with one mouth, he often uses funny and sharp language to make the debate 54 helpless when it comes to matters that do not involve righteousness and principles.

One-handed market swordsmanship, combined with the archery art learned by Qin Huali, travels the world without any mistakes, and can also talk to some robbers hiding in the wilderness of the Daze They said the brothers were glad to be released.

Such a character, with a heart like a cat and a fox, with ambitions in all directions, like a raccoon cat, seems to purr softly and wants to grind with people's ears, but in a blink of an eye, he will show sharp claws and scratch blood.
But this cat and fox-like figure, in front of Mo Di and Qin Huali, is as docile as a yellow dog when a nobleman hunts, kneeling down on the ground obediently, with a serious expression.

Not only in front of Mo Di and Qin Huali, but also in front of any one of Qiwuhai and even the 25 elected committee members, he is like this, because his legendary life like Tang Juan in troubled times is not considered in the Mohism. on what.

The disciples trained by Mozi himself, some have tried to assassinate the king, and some have killed people at every turn, each has its own splendor. In front of these disciples, he, the "giant cunning of the East", has just reached the level of splendor in his life. The level of talking and laughing.

Suo Lucan knelt down obediently at Qin Huali's head at this time, and Mozi said with a smile: "You are leading the team westward this time, which suits your temperament. I think your heart is everywhere, and you like to travel."

"I've tried to say, let people have their own strengths, and the world's affairs should be taken care of; if they divide their duties, the world's affairs will be achieved; everyone likes them, and the world's affairs will be prepared; there are many strong and weak, and the world's affairs will be ready. So this time you are the most suitable to lead the team .”

Solucan bowed his head and saluted: "What the giant said is very true. This time I will not disgrace my mission. But this time I see that in the list of leaders, there are those who are good at farming, those who are good at cattle and horses, and those who are good at merchants. There are stonemasons and the like, so it’s not just about verifying what’s right, right?”

He rolled his eyes, turned to Qin Huali and said, "Sir, actually, I believe what Shi said, and I think most of our Mohists also believe it. This time to verify, it is not only to prove that Shi's words are not false, but also to show the truth to the world." People see, right?"

Qin Huali nodded with a smile, and Mozi said: "This time, we are going thousands of miles away, and there is something that needs you to do on the way. It is suitable to say that two thousand miles from the land of Qin, there are people who live by chasing water and grass, and there are people like Mu Tianzi Ba. Fine horses, when the time comes, you should find a way to get a few horses, and send someone back first, thinking that they will be bred by crossbreeding."

"This is a big deal, you have to use your strengths."

After Mo Zi said this, Suo Lucan understood, and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Juzi, I will definitely not violate the righteousness of the Mohists, and I will definitely accomplish this matter."

He said in his heart, since he said to use my strengths, it must be by word of mouth, or befriending the women and noble ladies of those tribes, or instigating private grievances among the nobles to make one party believe in me as a friend. As long as you don't lose the righteousness of the Mohists.

He also thought that the volunteers of the Mohist school are short of good horses, if they can get a few stallions and mares, it would really be a meritorious service for the benefit of the world.

Besides, if you go here by yourself, you will bring a lot of iron pots. Those things are rare in the Central Plains, let alone two thousand miles away from Qin Dynasty?At that time, once the cattle and sheep are boiled and fried, they can always be exchanged for horses.

Seeing Suo Lucan's face showing joy, Mozi didn't say anything. He glanced at Qin Huali and nodded at Qin Huali. Qin Huali's expression turned solemn, and he took out a piece of silk from his bosom and handed it over, "This According to his memory, he drew a sketch of the road to the extreme west from those two masters, but it is only a general idea, and he can’t remember the details, and he doesn’t know how the two masters measured the twists and turns of the coast.”

"This item must not be passed on, and must not be lost. If there is a crisis, it must be torn up and swallowed. Do you know?"

Solu saw the solemnity that Mr. and Juzi said, and after saluting, he took over and said, "Respect the order of Juzi."

He opened it and saw that it was marked "Shan Hai Jing Tu Zhi", and the painting was a bit crude, but Solu was still shocked when he took a look.

Of course, he had read the revised "Shan Hai Jing" and "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", but they used vague words such as thousands of miles and ten thousand miles, and he couldn't intuitively feel how big the world was.

But this volume of "Shan Hai Jing Tu Zhi", which needs to be hidden, can intuitively feel the vastness of the world.

There are Qiang, Yuezhi, and Wusun in the rough painting on it, and further to the west, there are city-states and states on it, and after that, there is a big lake like the moon, named Yibohai, where the tribes of the Sai people and Si are marked. Taiji ministries.

Continuing to the west, there is a huge lake, which seems to be as big as Qiyue in the east, and the Caspian Sea is marked on it.

To the north are the Sarmatians and Scythians, to the south is the kingdom of Persia, and to the southwest through a throat is the kingdom of Queen Mother of the West, which seems to have been occupied by the exterminated kingdom of Persia on the map, while to the northwest is the kingdom of Persia. It is the Greek countries mentioned in "Shan Hai Jing".

To the south of Qiang and the city-states is Kunlun, separated by thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains.Further south, there are countries called Magadha, Jusara and other countries.

If this picture is true, even if it is simple and rough, it is shocking enough.From Beihai to Cangwu, it is getting smaller and smaller on this map, not to mention the Sishang land occupied by the Mohists today.

After the thousands of miles in the original text were turned into intuitive pictures, Suo Lucan's sweat dripped down, and he said with emotion: "The two masters are really heavenly and human, otherwise how can they walk tens of thousands of miles and draw such a picture? A picture? It’s simple, but if you don’t travel a hundred thousand miles, how can you draw it?”

"Sir, Juzi... Do you think this picture is real or fake? Could it be that Persia is bigger than the sum of the three kingdoms of Jin, Qin and Qi? This..."

Mozi shook his head and said, "I don't know. That's why I want you to take a look. But if you travel far, you still have to look at this picture and try. If it's true, I'm afraid the world will shake."

"This trip goes all the way to the west, the vast grasslands and deserts, and it is difficult to distinguish between north and south, east and west. You can also master the magnetism and the art of finding the north by following the stars taught before. In short, if this picture is true, it may be difficult. But the more real it is, the more you have to see those vast places.”

Suo Lucan bowed again: "It should be so. After three years of traveling, I will definitely die as a Mohist. It's just that this picture is too shocking. If it is true, I am afraid that people in the world will be shocked."

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded again and said: "That's exactly the case, so I need to investigate and verify it more clearly. I will definitely do my best in this matter."

After finishing speaking, he carefully put away the silk pictures, and Mozi sent a few notebooks wrapped in cowhide and said: "Write down what you have seen and heard along the way. You are good at speaking, if you can learn all the ways to speak, it will be the best thing to do." it is good."

"In a few days, we will set off together with the envoys to various countries. This journey is extremely dangerous, and you will never know whether you will live or die..."

Suo Lucan took the cowhide-covered paper and said with a big smile, "Your words are serious. As an ink man, how can you disregard the orders of the giants? Besides, the world is so big, I should be happy. I have lived for dozens of years. , you should travel a hundred thousand miles, and it will be a pleasant thing in life. Once you enter the Mohist school, why worry about life and death?"

"You don't have to worry about being a giant. I will definitely become famous along the way. In the past, I was a cunning in the east, but everyone in the world is the same. Is it possible that I will be deceived in the west?"

He laughed and took it, and after saluting, he backed away, his heart suddenly filled with pride, thinking that the journey of tens of thousands of miles had never been traveled before, he couldn't help laughing up to the sky, thinking that this is a matter of pride for a man.Holding a sword and holding a gun for a hundred thousand miles, I don't seek the title of Duke and Bozi, just to see how big this world really is.

　Uh, there is indeed a blue glass inlaid on the Goujian sword.Unlike the glass of the Dragonfly Eye and Eye of Horus series, it should be a by-product of the original local porcelain.In fact, the exchanges in the world at this time were more frequent than imagined. The Stechians and the Serbs were used as a transit, and the exchanges between the East and the West may have begun before the Warring States Period.In addition, the sword coins of Qi and Yan also traveled across the ocean to Japan and Ryukyu at this time, and archaeological discoveries have also been found.
