Mo Cheng and the other two were shocked when they heard this. How could this be possible?
He asked Ying Jingyu in confusion: "The 'Science Department' can really save the world from war? Master, can you explain it clearly?"
Jing Yu said: "Yes, if science and technology can continue to develop, not only can the food grown by the common people increase several times, but the country's wealth can also increase tenfold and a hundredfold. And the military force will also be greatly developed."
"If we, the Qin Dynasty, can once again unify the world, there will be very few wars in the world. My father and I have discussed that we will issue an order next year to completely abolish the corvee system! Anyone who works hard can receive corresponding rewards under the protection of the court. The people will be prosperous and the country will be prosperous.
If you are strong, what else can the people of the world fight for?"
At this time, another middle-aged man, Mo Li's eyes lit up and he said: "As the young master said, it will be possible to realize the wish of 'universal love without aggression' preached by our Mo family. Junior Brother, since King Qin and Young Master Yu sincerely invite you,
We can give it a try!”
Mo Cheng, on the other hand, was calmer and said with doubts, "Master, can you explain what 'science' is?"
“Science is the principle of existence of all things. After discovering the root of all things, we transform all things and create new things. This is ‘science’.”
Jingyu saw that the two of them still didn't quite understand, so he added: "Everyone, if you exclude ghosts and gods and think about it absolutely rationally... have you ever thought about how big the land we live in is?"
After thinking for a moment, everyone shook their heads
"Have you ever thought about whether the world we are standing on is round or square? How far away is the sun we see every day? Is our world bigger or the sun bigger?"
"We look up at the starry sky every night. What are the stars we see? How are meteors produced? Why can't people fly to the sky but can only stay on the ground?"
"What is everything made of? What are you and me made of? Why do people need to eat and drink every day to live? Have you found the answers to these questions?"
After finishing speaking, Ying Jingyu looked at everyone with their mouths open. This reaction was expected.
These questions about Jingyu have not been discussed since ancient times. Everyone has this kind of question when they grow up. But who can give a detailed explanation?
No one knew the answer, so they invented a set of divine theories. The doctrines left by the ancient great powers turned out to be the most truthful and clear words, and no one dared to doubt...
For example, there is only one part of the world called the East. Everything revolves around this Eastern world, including the sun, the round sky, and the square...
It took a while for Mo Cheng to wake up from the shock, and he clasped his hands and said, "Young Master's words are deafening! It's because we are ignorant. In this way, Cheng already roughly understands the scientific method of Young Master's words."
Jing Yu smiled and said: "Haha, science is to find the principles and evidence for the existence of all things. The mysteries are profound and profound. Without the continuous development of 'science' for more than a hundred years, it will be difficult to accumulate any results."
"And what I want to do is to establish the 'Science Department' to find the principles of all things and develop a scientific system. Maybe one day we can go out of the world we live in and travel among the stars..."
Everyone was mesmerized as they listened, as if they were really transported into that scene in the future by Jing Yu's description, which made people daydream...
Although the Mo family didn't know much about science, what they were good at was closely related to science. Even though Mo Cheng and Mo Cheng were extremely wary of the court, after hearing the heart-wrenching words of Ying Jingyu, the young master of the Qin Dynasty, they
I can't help but be infected by his grand ambitions.
No, it seems that no one has ever had this kind of ambition in the past and present. The ambitious people in the world are just competing for fame and fortune and hegemony in the world.
Even theories like Mohism, Confucianism, and Taoism are mostly for the purpose of ruling or increasing personal cultivation. None of them is for the sake of the world and can truly bless all sentient beings.
The more I think about it, the more I fall in love with Young Master Yu.
Only Mo Cheng and Mo Li knelt down in front of the King of Qin: "Your Majesty, Young Master. Although the future scene described by the Young Master is like being in a dream, if the Young Master really has such ambition and determination, the world can be free from
Fight and the people will be rich..."
"We, the Mohists, are willing to listen to your Majesty's orders and organize the establishment of a 'Science Department' to study their scientific methods!"
When Ying Jingyu saw that the Mohist giant finally agreed, he smiled proudly: "Don't worry, you two. Although the 'Science Department' was established by the imperial court, it has little to do with the politics of the DPRK."
"The imperial court is willing to vigorously develop science. After the world is unified, the Qin Dynasty will establish schools in various places. Both men and women at an early age can enter the schools to learn literacy and cultivate various talents. By then, the common people will not only be able to become officials in the court through what they have learned, but also
He was appointed to serve in various departments based on his talent."
"Talents will not be buried, everyone has pursuits. And the imperial court will also issue decrees to treat talents favorably and pay them corresponding salaries. This situation is what I want!"
Mo Cheng cupped his hands and said: "I am willing to do whatever I want for you! After our Mohist family in Guanzhong establishes the 'Science Department', we will successively summon branches of the Mohist family from all over the seven countries to come to Xianyang to make a small contribution to science."
Finally done! Ying Jingyu stepped forward and patted Mo Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Well, I have found a place in the southwest of Xianyang City. The Mo family will open a 'Science Department' there for the time being."
"Don't worry about money and other things. If you have any questions, you can always come to me or my father. The imperial court will fully support the establishment of the Science Department. Anyone who works in the Science Department will receive a monthly salary from the imperial court. And in
Talents who have made great contributions in the field of science will not only be rewarded by the imperial court, but also be summoned to all people, so that students all over the world will regard them as equals!"
Mo Cheng and Mo Li looked extremely excited after hearing this. This is simply supporting them all the way. Not only will they benefit, but they may also gain fame.
Mo Chengdao: "Young master, you must not be like this. Our Moh family is indifferent to money and material goods, and there are businesses opened by the Moh family in various places. Now that the war is coming, the national treasury is in need of money and food. It is the greatest gift for the imperial court to trust the Moh family!"
Ying Jingyu waved his hand and said: "No, this is a long-term solution. In the future, there will not only be a 'Science Department', but more departments will be opened according to the situation, and more and more talents will be needed."
"As for the talented people who are engaged in various departments and are not engaged in agriculture, if they are not paid salaries, how can they serve the imperial court?"
"Although the national affairs are urgent now and the national treasury is slightly insufficient, so we cannot give too much, but at least we can have food, clothing and shelter. If the Qin Dynasty unified the world in the future and the national power increased, it would naturally treat every talent more favorably."
After hearing this, Mo Cheng and Mo Cheng knelt down again and said respectfully: "The Mo family will never give up! We will definitely live up to the expectations of the young master!"
Ying Jingyu hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up and said: "Both of you, please stand up. Science is as elusive as the stars in the sea. If the 'Science Department' is established, I will often go to study with you and help the Mohist family."
....”
Mo Cheng and the others talked for a while with the King of Qin and others in the Chengming Hall, thinking that they had gained a lot of knowledge today, as if their thoughts that had been locked in for a long time were suddenly opened.
And Ying Jingyu seems to have a strange magical power, which makes people convinced but have to accept his views and arrangements.
If a person with a little bit of talent or wisdom refuses or misses Ying Jingyu's invitation, he is afraid that he will enter the coffin with regrets in the future...
...
After the people of the Mo family came down to the palace, it was getting late. The weather near the evening seemed a bit gloomy and scary. The clouds were thick and there was a sultry breath floating in the air, which seemed to indicate that something big was going to happen.
Ying Jingyu returned to his dormitory, Changle Palace, when suddenly! A huge bolt of lightning flashed across the sky above Xianyang City.
What followed was a loud noise, which startled Jingyu who had just returned to the dormitory. It seemed that this was the first time he had encountered such weather in this world for more than ten days.
Jingyu came outside the palace gate and looked up at the thick black clouds in the sky. Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
After the crackling sound of lightning lasted for two minutes, raindrops larger than beans finally fell on the dry bluestone ground. As soon as they came into contact, they evaporated into nothingness, as if they had never left any trace...
But as the rain became heavier and heavier, the ground became completely wet amid the howling wind, and rainwater like small waterfalls began to flow down from the edge of the palace on the roof of the palace.
Jingyu stared blankly at the rather massive rainstorm. After a few minutes, the stuffy feeling in the air seemed to have disappeared. A breeze blew by, and instead, a chill spread throughout his body, making him feel sober.
, so comfortable...
Sudden!
Ying Jingyu's pupils shrank, and he seemed to see a beautiful dark red figure not far away running all the way in the rain, coming towards the 'Changle Palace' with his whole body wet...
