Chapter 65: Multiplying the Effect of Specialization in Art (I)
Originally, a matter that could be solved in a day or even half a day, the ink scholars who gathered in Shangqiu City debated and discussed with each other for half a month.
The first thing to ask is what the ink masters are going to do in the future, except for the ink masters who are left in the end, no outsiders know, and it is difficult to know.
Half a month later, after these ink artists scattered and left, they seemed to finally have a clear purpose and began to get busy with unprecedented efficiency.
Debate 54 took the belt given to Mo Zhai by the public loss class that year, and went to Chu to meet the disciples of the public loss class, and invited the disciples of the public loss class to help make things for the benefit of the world.
I don't ask them to become inkers, but I ask them to help them in order to benefit the common people in the world.
Back then, Mozi gave righteousness to the public loss class, and now he begs the descendants of the public loss class to help because of righteousness. Lu Ban once said that he was grateful to Mozi for making him understand righteousness, so he would not take it if he attacked the Song Dynasty, and he would no longer contribute to the unrighteous war for the rest of his life.
Although the two sides were competitive and competitive when they were young, they were actually close friends.
Fifty-four sharp tongues are just the right time to do this.
Originally, before this conference, the fifty-fourth was going to go to the Sanjin Wei Land and invite Yang Zhu to defend with a three-inch tongue.
The verbal battle between the two families of Yang Mo has not been fought for more than a day, both sides have their own victories and defeats, and Yang Zhu and Meng Sunyang, who are preparing to argue in one fell swoop, surrender.
This question of rivalry is somewhat similar to the debate between Locke's free-will, A Treatise of Government, and Hobbes's Leviathan, where authority is synonymous.
But now that he has received the order of the giant, he has collected his thoughts and concentrated on going to the state of Chu to do a good job of inviting the disciples of the public loss class.
Meng Sheng and other Mozi people in various countries or feudal fiefdoms returned one after another, and when they returned, some people who had originally followed Mozi's side accompanied them.
These ink people who originally followed Mozi's side can be regarded as being in the same ink army as Meng Sheng and others, and they are not surveillance, but this is stipulated after the discussion of this meeting, and there is no longer a situation where one person is in charge of one place.
In this way, unless all the local Mozi rebelled against the righteousness, Mozi would always know the situation as soon as possible, and there would no longer be something that only happened to be known three times like Shengyu. Meng Sheng, who is in various fiefdoms, is no longer doing his own thing, but must be in line with the righteousness of the giant, otherwise he will be expelled from the team of ink makers.
Yu Huali took some people to the village community that had been in business for more than half a year before, and told the people in those villages that they were going to all move away.
This matter is not difficult, but the people of the village community are reluctant to accept those Sumai who have returned to green, but they have not refused. After they leave, the land here is redistributed to the rest of the people.
Shijia Dolphin was equipped with four horse-drawn carriages, carrying wheat flour and other things, and set off from Shangqiu in four ways. One into the Linzi of Qi, one into the three Jin.
They were the first to show the samples to the local merchants, so that they could follow the example of the last time and get them to pay for the five-year franchise.
He was born as a businessman, proficient in the means of doing business, and his family almost reached the point of "Su Feng". Besides, wheat flour has been shown to be profitable, and he can't go wrong in doing such things.
Wu Mabo will lead people to the Northland in half a month, from where he will transfer cattle and horses back, and guard against possible raids and robberies along the way.
Wu Ma is an obvious surname of the Zhou Dynasty. Wuma is an official name, and it is common to take the official name as a clan.
Wu Ma is the veterinarian in charge of horse breeding. "Zhou Li" said: The witch horse's paw raises the disease and takes it to cure it, heals each other and treats it, and attacks the horse's disease. Wu Ma belongs to the summer officials of the six senses of heaven and earth, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The ancestor of Wu Ma Bo was Wu Ma Shi, a disciple of Confucius. Although he didn't have the ability to be a veterinarian when Wu Ma was an official in his earlier years, he was both brave and capable, and he was also suitable for doing this.
Wei Yue rode to Wei and Jin to meet those nobles or wealthy merchants who had dealt with the Mo family, and asked them to take care of them. In the near future, we will go to the pottery field to prepare the forage needed for cattle and horses, and prepare it all the way along Heshui and Surabaya.
Wei Yue often traveled with Mozi and had a wide range of knowledge.
Because I have been following Mozi for a long time, I understand the immutable concept of concrete, not abstract.
He once asked Mozi what he should say when he saw the king, and Mozi said that he wanted to talk about profit, but this thing is not fixed. If the country is chaotic, we will talk about the virtuous, and if the country is poor, we will talk about thrift...... Different occasions have to talk about different things, otherwise it is empty talk without meaning and purpose. He is also a person who does not talk emptyly, and he travels with Mozi all the year round and travels extensively, so he is the most suitable for this kind of thing.
Not only have I seen the monarch, but also talked and laughed with those feudal nobles, and followed Mozi all the year round, and those who have dealt with Mozi will also recognize it.
Gongzaoye took the first step, taking more than 20 ink people who were proficient in swordsmanship and archery and some gold, and first went to Peidi, Xisang and other places to find out the situation.
This place was famous once before the Han Dynasty. Zhang Yi and Qi and Chu Xiangguo were in the alliance of Sisang. It can be seen that this is the edge of the rule of the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu, and it is difficult to throw out forces, and it is difficult to invest in the present.
Later, there was no need to talk about the Surabaya Pavilion, and there was no need to talk about the battle of Xiang Yu Pengcheng.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the Yellow River into the sea for the first time, it was the rodent mulberry near the Peidi, and the Han Wu personally came to worship the Shen Baima Hebo, which was the "Song of the Gourd".
At this time, the Sanjin Dynasty was not strong, and the Song Dynasty had not moved the capital - Song was trying his best to run Pengcheng, and he had to wait for the Sanjin Dynasty to be unstoppable, but Zhao Wei did not turn his face, and the Sanjin Dynasty could still act together as the Sanqing.
Since Zhang Yi asked Qi and Chu to join the Sang Alliance in later generations, it can be seen that it is a place where Qi and Chu are difficult to throw their strength, and at this time, it is a typical place of three regards, and it is extremely chaotic.
However, before the Yellow River entered the sea in the Han Dynasty, it was also a place where the wind and rain were smooth.
The local folk customs are extremely strong, and they were all the birthplaces of the Xia Dynasty Fangguo such as Peng Motherland and Qiyang Country before.
Peng Zu needless to say, forcing the Yang country to resist the Thirteen Nations Alliance, although the name is strange, but Confucian is very familiar with this country - Confucius's father uncle Liang Su's famous battle is here, and he will raise the city gate, otherwise this small country may refresh the war history record of the Spring and Autumn Period, and even lead a wave of Jin nobles to be wiped out......
Peng Zu, Qiyang Kingdom, etc., are all Fang States that existed in the Xia Dynasty after Zhurong.
Zhu Rong is not a person, but an official position.
Wisher, male wizard; Melter, great light. Zhu Rong is the great sorcerer who sacrifices to the light, and is the official name of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. It's just that the most famous person, people replaced his real name with Zhu Rong.
Sacrificing to light, according to the six senses of heaven and earth, spring, summer, autumn and winter, of course, it is a summer official.
Yin Shang of the Later Zhou Dynasty was placed in the six officials of heaven and earth, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the chief of the summer official was the Great Sima, in fact, the position was Zhu Rong in the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Zhu Rong was the chief of the summer officials in the Five Emperors era.
Therefore, in later generations, there is a legend of Zhurong fighting Gonggong, which is translated into the words of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty at this time, that is, the great Sima of the Chinese tribal alliance led the army to recruit the Gonggong clan.
At this time, these places of the Song Kingdom did not fully operate for the time being, thousands of years of evolution, Zhurong has become a god, and the local worship of the god of fire, often with people as sacrifices.
Therefore, it is necessary for Gongzaoye and others to go there first to inquire about the situation and familiarize themselves with the local language and customs, so that the follow-up ink practitioners can enter.
Copying Chengzi, Gao Sun and Shi, together with Shi, registered all the ink artists on the bamboo slips and made a simple "file".
At this time, the "file" was written in bamboo slips, completely in accordance with the way of the Duke of Qinjun's ID card: how old is a certain age, whether the face is black or not, height, etc.
In view of the confusion of the chronology at this time, the ink scholars took Yu as the holy king, so they took Yu as the year, and according to the historical books, it was estimated that it was about 1,600 years, so as to set this year as the 1,600 years of Yu Sheng, so as to record the time when the ink people joined, so as to unify the omission and calculation.
It is not calculated by the heavenly stems and terrestrial branches, because the cultural level of the Moji is generally not high. If others don't admit it, they don't need to care, anyway, it's internal circulation. For someone like Mozi, who knows the concept of relativity very well, this is not a problem at all.
The rest of the ink scholars followed Shi Shi to learn the text in the morning, and their cultural level was not high, so they were taught from scratch, but fortunately, they were not stupid, and these simple words were easy to learn.
In the afternoon, Mozi personally worked with Gongzao, axes, stone cones, and other people to ponder those things that are ingenious and beneficial to people according to the appropriate ideas.
Science and theory are the business of the next generation of ink writers.
Technology is what these older inkers are good at.
There are many things that can be improved, such as the more mechanics of the curved plough, the double-wheel carriage, the chariot, etc., even if there is no iron tools, the use of wood or stone as a ploughshare can save a lot of human and animal power.
I am sure that these simple things are not a problem with wooden craftsmen such as Mozi and axe.
Mozi can even make things like pulleys and compound ladders, and use them in the defense of the city. And for example, the blast equipment used in iron smelting is a necessary thing for pouring poisonous smoke into the tunnel in the "Preparation of Acupoints", not to mention it.
The right knowledge, coupled with the skillful hands of the ink maker, is almost a match made in heaven.
The first thing to be made today is a mill powered by water or wind. Only by making these can we popularize the method of making wheat flour to the fastest extent, in exchange for more gold, buy more cattle and horses, and have the possibility of follow-up straw and bad gold.
In water drains, windmills, and mills, one of the key things is the connecting rod mechanism and wooden gears.
The rest of the things, which can make wheels, can make pulleys and axles, are not a problem at all.
But without connecting rods and wooden gears, there is no way to change the direction and trajectory of the force, and it is impossible to use these wind and water forces perfectly.
A few simple connecting rods were made using bamboo chips and simple copper nails, and after a little demonstration, Mozi and axe moments were understood.
Holding a parallelogram rod made of four bamboo pieces, Mozi twisted a few times and said in surprise: "I'm more and more curious, what did Mr. Nasai teach you?" Among the ink scholars, there are many people who have learned from other families, but they really haven't learned these things. ”
Shi smiled: "I'm clumsy, so I understand some things, but I can't do them." At a glance, the gentleman saw that it shouldn't be difficult to make this mill, right? ”
The parallelogram link was certainly not used in the mill, and of course the rest of the connecting rods.
Without waiting for Mozi to answer, the axe said, "It's really not difficult." You're right, the breeze in the mountains and rivers goes on all day long. If you can use these powers of heaven and earth, you can save many people and livestock. For example, the mill, which uses oxen and donkeys as you did in the beginning, is slow and expensive. ”
Mozi also praised: "That's why I said that this thing is very clever." It's easy to make this thing. Make a small one out of wood first, and only use it in a stream. In the future, I will go to the big city of Sanjin and make it bigger. ”
Shi hummed and asked, "Only a little." This thing is very slow to make, and although there are many capable people among the ink masters, it is impossible for them to all be used to make these things. I wondered if I could find more people to hire them with gold and copper to make these things. ”
"First, there is a specialization in the art industry, and whoever is good makes perfect. They do a lot of work, maybe they can do it in a month at first, and then they can do it in six or seven days when they become proficient. ”
"Second...... The so-called Pengsheng Ma does not support himself, and the white sand is black in Nirvana, these people are facing each other with my ink all day long, and they can also widely promote the words of my Mo family. ”
Pengsheng Mazhong's sentence originated from Xunzi's "Persuasion of Learning", Xunzi was still early from birth at this time, and the Zhongxing clan, one of the Jin Liuqing who was collapsed by the Zhao family, was the ancestor of Xunzi. Bank of China is an official position, at this time it is not clear whether the clan Xun or the clan is the bank.
Mozi pondered what he said, and felt that it was very tasteful, so he smiled and said: "You always say such things, if you don't understand, who will believe that you are illiterate?" ”
Shi Hehe smiled and replied: "Sir, in the past half a month, I have known at least eight crosses, and at most one hundred and seventeen crosses. ”
What he meant, of course, Mozi understood, was to say that these Mozi who learned words together had learned the least eight crosses, and the most had learned one hundred and seventeen crosses, and they were also amazed in their hearts, this word is really easy to learn, the key is that there is a system, and it is much easier to learn.
Mozi didn't bother to praise it anymore, and got down to business again: "The idea you said is good, but there is one thing that needs to be solved. There are seven so-called wood-tapping work, and all seven of them can be done. But we can't use people under the industrial and commercial food officials. And those self-employed carpenters have to pay in kind...... Your brother is a shoe maker, so you should know how to pay this tax. That's the difficulty. ”
The contribution of the craftsman is indeed the greatest difficulty of what is suitable for the work, and part of it is a compulsory endowment in kind.
