Chapter 595 The Sun of Mount Tai ([-])

Just as the real power of science is not the conclusions, but the way of knowing the world.

Sheng Chuo, a traitor to Mo, even though he can't understand the true essence of Mohism, still understands what is real power better than most people in the world.

With the help of this power, Qin State, which has been silent for decades in the west of Luoshui, started a vigorous transformation with blood on the ground and human heads rolling by relying on the chaotic situation in the east.

…………

Over a thousand miles east across the Luoshui River, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were walking on the muddy road after the summer rain.

The impact plain formed over hundreds of thousands of years is fertile land, but after the summer rain, the unstoppable mud is really hard for the horses that pull the carts, and the whips they raise often hit the most handsome ones on a horse.

On the carriage, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy felt sorry for the most handsome horse, and couldn't help muttering: "It is the most powerful. The roads in Qi State are not repaired and muddy. It's not because it doesn't work hard. You Why do you keep hitting it?"

The young man who spoke had a thick Sishang accent, or what he called the "elegant tone" of the Mohists.

The coachman didn't turn his head back, and with a flick of his wrist, the whip rolled back in the air, sweeping away a few horseflies, and said with a smile: "You children in the school, what do you know?"

"The road is muddy, and the two horses, one of which is weak and the other strong, have used five percent of their strength. I don't beat the strong horses, but the weak ones, what's the use?"

"That's what Shishuai said. Those who are able work harder. When Gengzhuzi followed Zimozi, didn't he ask Zimozi why so many disciples insisted on reprimanding him? What did Zimozi say? You are a talent, so I want to spur you on."

"Just like you children, you are only fifteen or sixteen years old. Why did you go to Qi State? It's not that you are better at learning, know nine counting geometry, and you help measure land for land distribution. Why don't you go to those elementary schools? Didn't you choose someone who entered a better school?"

The young man didn't speak anymore, and murmured, "Zimozi plowed the pillars angrily."Geng Zhuzi said: "I don't want to be with others?" Zi Mozi said: "I will go up to the big line, driving horses and sheep, who will drive?" Geng Zhuzi said: "I will drive the horses." Zi Mozi Said: "Why do you drive the horses away?" Geng Zhuzi said: "The horses are enough to blame." Zi Mozi said: "I also think that the son is enough to blame."

Muttering a few times, as if realizing something, the classmate on the side of the car shouted: "Shu Guitian, don't you also have horses in your family? Didn't you say that your brother was in Gaoliu last year, and his equestrian skills even impressed those Lin Hus? Don’t you know this truth?”

The young man named Shu Guitian let out a hey, and said, "My family is all fine horses, how can there be any poor horses? That's why they are all capable, and they are treated equally."

There were bursts of laughter unique to teenagers in the car, there were men and women, which made this summer a bit of a springy feeling.

The coachman also laughed, and then hummed some songs from Sishang, and when he started to whip the horses, his hands were a little lighter.

The young man in the car sang a few times, and someone said: "This time we go to Boyi, we can go to Mount Tai to see it. Boyi is at the foot of Mount Tai. Back then, Zimozi taught Qinzi the art of defending the city. But it is on the top of Mount Tai. For Confucians, Kong said that climbing Mount Tai would make the world smaller, so Confucian scholars often climb Mount Tai. But for us Mohists, this is also a mountain that must be climbed."

Not only does Mount Tai have special significance for Confucian scholars, after Mohism became the most famous school in the world, it also became a mountain with special significance for Mohism.

Boyi of Qi State is now in the hands of the Mohists, and the headquarters of the Mohist Rebel Corps is now also in Boyi, between Pingyin and Yingyi.The east can take Lucheng and attack Linzi, and the south can enter Yingyi and divide the Linzi army of Qi State so that it cannot return to Linzi.

When Shu Guitian heard the words, the eagerness of a young man also surged in his heart, Sishang Shaoshan, a plain, everyone knew the existence of Mount Tai and the significance of Mount Tai to the Mohists from textbooks, but no one had actually seen it.

But after thinking about it, Shu Guitian said in distress: "I'm afraid it won't work. This time, the students from Xiliu Military Academy, Artillery Academy, and several other schools have all given up their studies and come to Qi State to measure the land and help redistribute the land. I'm afraid the committee members will be busy for a long time to distribute the land together. I'm afraid they won't have time to go to Mount Tai."

Many people in the car didn't know the significance of the division of land to the war between Qi and Mo, or to the world, but they all knew that it was related to their performance and whether their future life would be smooth.

In later generations, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, you are still a child, but in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, in other countries, at the age of 15, you have to go out with the army to deliver food and grass.

This time, Qi State had a lot of manpower, and it was impossible for Sishang to spare so many cadres at once.

These children who study the navy, artillery, and geometric nine numbers have to temporarily suspend their studies and go to Qi.

They are still young, but compared to most people in the world, these children who are quite good at calculating geometry and Jiushu are quite good among young people, and they can undertake some tasks such as measurement, calculation, and statistics.

Not long ago, Yue State suddenly withdrew to the south, and a large number of young cadres were sent to Huaibei, Donghai, Langya and other places. Qi State gave up the plan to attack Linzi and intercept the Linzi Army halfway. The incident happened suddenly, but the Mohist Central Committee had agreed to pass it. For this plan, only half of the cadres and half of the students in school can be dispatched to do this well.

Shu Guitian was admitted to Master Xi Liushui's school last year, and now the main force of Master Xi Liushui is in Laoshan, and Shu Guitian's class is not learning water warfare, but more theoretical compass use, star recognition, drawing Astrolatitude and other content.

This requires a lot of knowledge of geometry. Most of the people in this class were in geometry or mathematics at the time of the assessment and selection... the group that was not bad.

The really good ones got into Xiangshu; the little ones got into the Artillery Academy; and they were the last ones left.

Shu Guitian had only been in the school for half a year before he received this transfer. The students were easy to organize, and everyone didn't know much about the general trend of the world. The world is our own responsibility" fanaticism.

Speaking of it, apart from those who followed Solucan to the west, Shu Guitian can be regarded as the first batch of people who have learned "foreign languages" in Sishang, and one of the teachers who taught them was exactly a disciple of Solucan in Greece. , who is proficient in nautical knowledge and has been to Egypt and Persia, this can be regarded as a person who has traveled "the world" in this era.Occasionally, I will learn a few strange words such as what and what.

However, the ones who taught them compass, latitude, longitude, etc. were those disciples who still carried the teachings when they went to Chu State back then, but the younger uncle Shu Qinghou who returned to the field did not teach them, but immersed himself in solving the one-dimensional cubic equation. I can't extricate myself from my hard thinking, in order to solve the more accurate, purely theoretical calculation, and the current method similar to the exhaustive method, which is completely different from the current method and the conclusion is confirmed.

Shu Guitian can be regarded as a Mo family with Zhengmiaohei roots. His father captured the kings of Chu and Yue, but he did not continue to stay in the army.My brother was promoted to sergeant in Gaoliu, Zhao Guo, and my sister followed those people to map the grassland. Yu Tu, the company commander who partnered with my father back then, has been promoted to brigade commander, and his name is still appropriate.

Although the first battle of Qi Qi went smoothly, the massacre of the city of Wucheng also let these children who were born after the Mohist resident in Sishang know that the content they learned about universal love and the power bestowed by the emperor is not the world They all recognize the truth, but the cruel massacre of the city, the construction of the capital, and the killing of prisoners are common in the world.

Under such circumstances, Shu Guitian can be regarded as the first group of people who actively signed up to "benefit the world", which is also considered rare.

He is still young, and he is different from his father, who has experienced the new and old times. I am afraid that the three words "Li Tianxia" may not have too much empathy, but he prefers this kind of adventure, away from the people who are tired of seeing him. the days of farmlands, canals, and merchant travel.

At least, you can see a different scenery.

Taishan is very tempting to him, but under the disciplinary education that he has subtly received since the school, the discipline constraints are even greater.

This time I went to Boyi to follow those old inkmen to participate in the distribution of the land of the fugitive nobles. This is a major event, and there can be no mistakes.

They are young, but they are qualified enough to measure, calculate, subtract, add, multiply and divide, and they are suitable for use.

This time the Mohists really had no choice. Before the alignment war, the students from the Artillery School wanted to go out with them, so they said: I will not kill my own hen just because I want to eat eggs.

As for now, although the war is still going on, it is less dangerous to participate in the survey and distribution of land, and there are really not many talents available. The dozens of cities in Qi State need too many cadres to gather. , can only use the children of these schools to fill the vacancies that do not need politics, but only need nine numbers, geometry and measurement.

Boyi is at the foot of Mount Tai, and Shu Guitian couldn't help sighing when he thought that he might not have the chance to see Mount Tai this time.

In the textbooks, in order to shape their consciousness of "everyone in the Kyushu loves each other, and everyone in the world should love the world", or to shape their "national view" subtly, the Propaganda Department used to be in charge, so the idea of ​​​​writing the content And the guiding principles are based on "the world".

There is very little content on Sishang. On the contrary, the new generation of Sishang who curled up on Sishang and has hardly seen a mountain with an altitude of more than a thousand meters since childhood, knows about Qi Guotai Mountain who taught Mozi and Qinzi the art of defending the city by drinking. , I know the Liaodong where Su Shen shot the scorpion and the stone arrowheads fell into Luoyang with the geese moving south, I know the majestic and majestic Mount Tai, I know the Dujiangyan that the Mohists relied on gunpowder and iron to help complete decades ahead of schedule, I know I know the Dongting under the curling autumn wind and leaves, I know the Yellow River with a few characters that not many people know outside of Sishang, I know the Yangtze River that runs across the Chu Kingdom and descends from Bashu, and I even know that far away from the Central Plains, it is still far from the Central Plains. The Baiyue Fulou country, which is rich in rice and now also produces sucrose...
