Chapter 744

"There will be three stages of Mohist ink skills. First, as in the pre-Qin period, Mohist children observe everything in the world and accidentally discover ink skills, which are regarded as the top secret of Mohist." in the study of Mohist house, Merton is giving Wu Meiniang a second lesson.

Wu Meiniang said thoughtfully, "it's like a live fish secret skill!"

Merton nodded with appreciation and said, "yes! When we explore all things in the world, we will inadvertently find something beneficial to people and make use of it. This is the most primitive ink technology. However, at this time, the Mohists just know what it is but don't know why. They cherish themselves and treat it as a treasure and don't show it to people."

"What about Mohism now?" Wu Meiniang said incomprehensibly.

Merton proudly said, "today's Mohist school is in the second stage. That is, Mohist school should not only discover the ink technology in this world, but also study the principle of these ink technology, that is, know its nature, but also know its reason."

"Know what it is and why? Is it the reason why master Hua Wanguan offered a reward for well killing?" Wu Meiniang said in her heart.

Merton nodded heavily and said, "now Mohism is also in a very special period. We should not only constantly discover the ink skills that can be used by the people like the first stage, but also know why and understand the truth of heaven and earth hidden in these ink skills."

"But a well killing mystery needs tens of thousands of Guan, which is too expensive!" Wu Meiniang frowned. She was the daughter of the Duke before. Naturally, she had no concept of money. However, since she was expelled from the Wu mansion, she joined the Mohist school to have a sufficient understanding of money. Naturally, she knew how amazing the value of Wan Guan's money is.

Merton shook his head and said, "it seems that the Mohist school has suffered a great loss and spent a lot of money to get a pile of useless principles. Confucius said that hearing the Tao in the morning and dying in the evening, the Confucian Avenue is the avenue of human relations, and the Mohist Avenue is these hidden heaven and earth avenues. This is the three stages of Mohist development. Use these heaven and earth avenues to study the ink technology used by the people."

"It's like a pressure cooker." Wu Meiniang suddenly said.

Merton said proudly: "Yes, in the first stage, the Mohists found that ink technology was accidental, or even lucky. In the second stage, it was even more difficult for the Mohists to study the principles behind ink technology. They couldn't get it for a lifetime, or even because they didn't have enough knowledge. However, once we got the principles of these ink technologies, we can use these principles to study ink technology at will Cheng Zhong, the emergence of ink technology is inevitable, and there will be endless ink technology. Do you still think the money is expensive? "

Wu Meiniang shook her head. In this way, the Mohist took advantage of the great advantage. As long as you understand the principle of ink, the Mohist will continue to emerge ink skills. In this way, the Mohist is making a lot of money.

"After the pre Qin period, there were various reasons for the decline of Mohism, but the discovery of the contingency of Mohism technology was one of the reasons. Today's Mohism naturally can't repeat the mistakes. Only Mohism controls more and more roads of heaven and earth, so that Mohism can be more prosperous and lasting." Merton showed Wu Meiniang broad prospects.

"Master is wise!" Wu Meiniang said with sincere admiration.

Merton modestly said, "of course, this road is very long. In a short time, the focus of Mohism is on the first and second stages."

"What about the Mohist concept of universal love and non aggression? Is it useless?" Wu Meiniang asked with a flash of eyes. He came to Mohist school. One is to contact Mohist technology, but to learn Mohist concept. However, now master only emphasizes Mohist technology, not Mohist concept.

Merton was stunned. He looked at Wu Meiniang in surprise and said, "the concept of Mohism is to uphold virtue, unity, universal love, non attack, frugal use, festival burial, Tianzhi, Minggui, non music and non life. At this stage, we only ask for Mohist children and have no intention of pushing them to the world."

"Why is this?" Wu Mei Niang frowned.

Merton did not answer and asked, "although its concept is not inferior to the Confucian ethics Avenue, in the end, Confucianism is only respected. Do you know why?"

"As far as the disciples know, Dong Zhongshu deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, which made Confucianism dominant." Wu Meiniang thought.

Merton sneered and said, "the secret of the revival of Mohism is the truth behind the insight into all things in the world. Ordinary children only need to study Mohism. However, as a major disciple of Mohism, you are far from enough. You should be involved in court politics and hundred schools of thought. The dominant secret of Confucianism is not the power of Dong Zhongshu alone, but the will of the emperor."

"Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty!" Wu Mei Niang said in her heart.

Merton nodded: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose Confucianism to govern the world. The most important thing is the Confucian theory of being loyal to the king and fooling the people, which is conducive to the rule of the emperor. On the contrary, the Mohist theory is just the opposite. If the Mohist school wants to specialize in ink technology, it must be deeply studied and continuously studied. Therefore, if the Mohist theory is to spread and prosper, it must open the wisdom of the people. From this point of view, Confucianism and Mohist school are indeed opposed."

Wu Meiniang, as a major disciple of the Mohist school, Merton naturally won't hide anything from her. The dialogue between the teacher and the apprentice can be said to be very profound.

"Since Confucianism is dominant in the dynasty hall and is more conducive to the rule of the emperor, isn't it that the Mohist concept has no future?" Wu Meiniang frowned.

Merton shook his head and said: "Having said that, how can the people all over the world be willing to be poor and foolish all the time? However, in fact, all people with rich families want to send their children to school to change their fate. The primary purpose of Mohism is to develop ink technology, make the people all over the world rich and reduce the cost of learning. I believe that more and more people can open the wisdom of the people. That's when it will be When Mohism really recovers. "

In the Mohist School of compulsory education, there are enough 50 students in a classroom, and only two teachers can easily teach. However, there are only a few students in an ordinary private school, even one-on-one teaching. The cost is naturally different. Even the compulsory education promoted by Master Li doesn't have to worry about the source of students, because the cost they charge is really high compared with that of a private school It's too low. Even ordinary families can afford it, not to mention the charcoal pen and pen invented by the Mohist school. The cost of the four treasures of the study will be extremely low.

"So, the core of Mohism is Mohism!" Wu Meiniang grabbed the key point and said excitedly.

Merton smiled with satisfaction and said: "That's right! Only by constantly developing ink technology to benefit the people all over the world and even the court can Mohism stand and open the wisdom of the people. If there is no ink technology, empty talk about Mohist ideas is just a castle in the air. This is also the real reason for the decline of Mohism after the pre-Qin period, let alone the deep-rooted status of Confucianism, and our empty talk theory is just for ourselves It's just humiliation. "

"I understand!" Wu Meiniang said confidently,

Merton sighed: "the power of legalism is extremely strong in the hands of Qin Shihuang. Confucianism was the only one in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, his majesty today is not inferior to the brilliant emperor of Qin and Han. The opportunity for the rise of Mohism has matured. Mohism must seize this opportunity and not lose."

He believed that with Li Shimin's brilliant talent, it was impossible not to see the role of Mohism in the Tang Dynasty. As long as the court remained neutral, the plan for the peaceful rise of Mohism could certainly be realized.

"Well, class is over. I have something to do as a teacher!" Merton waved. So far, Merton's second lesson was officially over.

"Disciple, I'd like to congratulate master on your happy marriage in advance." Wu Meiniang naturally knew that Merton's affair was a matter of preparing for a big wedding. She said playfully at the moment.

"Just your skin!" Merton feigned anger.

Wu Meiniang was not afraid, but ran out with a smile.

Today is February 15. Merton and Princess Changle will get married tomorrow.
