Chapter 97 The Mohist Flying Boat
The base of the Mohist family in Song State was Zhaizhou, which is a large province, almost twice the size of Qingzhou. However, as the fief of the Mohist family, it is still a bit shabby.
Of course, Xiao Hao had learned from Lan Hai that the State of Song was not the base camp of the Mohist family as the Dali Wangting said, but it should be said that it was the "experimental field" of the Mohist family. However, the Mohist family completely placed its academic and concept of governing the country. In a sense, the State of Song was also considered the Mohist family's private land.
Zhaizhou of the Song State was the base of the Mohist family in the Song State.
After entering Zhaizhou, you will find that not only is there a prosperous business here, but there are also various knights everywhere; but it may be the influence of the Mohist ideas, and the people here are very hospitable and generous. They even often see the scene where everyone comes to help in trouble.
Compared with the Dali Wangting, there is an extra kind of harmony here!
"It turns out that I read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Only by walking out can I know that there are so many differences in the world." Xiao Hao saw a grain truck overturned in the distance, but many people around him took the initiative to come forward to help; no one even needed to shout.
"Every theory has its advantages and disadvantages." Lan Hai said as he walked, "These wisdoms need to be learned.
In fact, over the past tens of thousands of years, except for the most core point, the rest of the thoughts of various schools have been completely integrated. Therefore, everyone can learn from them in practice. However, at the core, they are the soul of a school, which is difficult to change.
Let's go, go into the city, and you will be able to see the Mo family's flying boat in a while, which will surprise you!"
There was no tax on entering the city, so everyone just went in and out. But whenever they saw strangers, someone would come up to ask, maybe they were not guards at the city gate, but just ordinary people. It can be seen that the living environment here feels like a harmonious world.
After entering the city gate, Xiao Hao was surprised to find that the city here was very clean, with wooden houses all in color, and every family was decorated with lights and colorful. When welcoming the New Year, you could occasionally hear clear laughter.
However, Xiao Hao walked very quickly along the way, first selling three horses, and then Lan Hai led the two to the government office here to register.
"There are 10 days left to take off, and the three adults can go to Qingyun Square to wait." The registered official respectfully handed over the three black jade-carved identity cards to Lan Hai.
"Thank you." Lan Hai took the jade plaque, turned around and took Xiao Hao and Tu Yong to the center of the city.
"Master, what you just took out was a knife coin, right? You still use a knife coin now?" Xiao Hao looked puzzled. It turned out that Hailan had just given 30 knife coin to the level officials and bought three jade plaques.
"Ha, this is not a knife coin!" Tu Yong laughed, "This is a lucky coin. You will know in the future that there are many things that cannot be bought by gold, silver and treasures, and you need to use the lucky coin.
Qilu coins are an item condensed by Qilu, just like Qilu bronze tripod. However, Qilu coins are condensed through special means and can be absorbed to strengthen their own luck. One hundred Qilu coins are equivalent to the luck of a one-foot Qilu bronze tripod."
"But, isn't there no way to trade the Bronze Cauldron of Lucky? Let others use it?" Xiao Hao was a good student.
"That's an ordinary small family. If it were a big family, they would turn some luck into luck that could be traded freely. You should know that sometimes, some things can only be purchased with luck, and gold and silver have no place to be used.
Secretly, a lucky coin can be exchanged for at least a thousand taels of gold, and there is still a price without a market! It is said that sometimes it is not necessary to buy gold when it reaches ten thousand taels of gold!"
Hiss... Xiao Hao took a breath of air, a thousand taels of gold! The Xiao family under his influence only earned tens of thousands taels of gold in seven or eight years! Suddenly, Xiao Hao regretted that he knew nothing at that time and just squandered his luck!
In the past, I only knew that luck is precious, but how precious it is, but there is no definite data and comparison. It is difficult to have a definite concept; but now I know that a lucky coin is a thousand taels of gold. If it is a lucky bronze cauldron, it would cost 100,000 taels of gold! Just this, someone still needs to trade it!
But Xiao Hao knew it as soon as he thought about it. It would be very difficult to exchange gold for fortune coins! Gold cannot be eaten or drunk; luck is omnipotent! fortune itself is a means by which heaven and earth control the movement of all things. Now, by controlling fortune, mortals can compete with heaven and earth for control! You can imagine the preciousness of fortune.
Entering the inner city, Xiao Hao saw the Mo family's flying boat, a big roc made of red sandalwood! However, this big roc is thirty feet long and wide, and is about three feet high. There are many windows in the center, which feels like a plane in another world. However, this is indeed a Taoist roc, with vivid carving techniques, and even the patterns of each feather are carved out!
Then Xiao Hao saw a white jade stele at the door with a long and short sentence engraved on it: The Song of the Great Plug - the Great Plug, the divine bird of the nine heavens, whose ambition is in the sky, riding the wind to protect ninety thousand miles, and the ambition of the sky.
"These sentences are the way to command the operation of this flying boat." Lan Hai explained slightly, "With the exchange of ideas, everyone pays more and more attention to literary talent. But such a description is a bit complicated! It is not conducive to combat.
Let's go, let's go to the inn next to rest first. We spent these ten days here.
This is the identity jade token I just now. You can take it well. With the identity jade token in the inn, you can enjoy general treatment for free. If you want better treatment, you will have to spend more money."
Xiao Hao looked up and looked forward. There was a row of residences about forty feet away, which should be the inn.
While walking forward, Xiao Hao turned his head to look at the flying boat next to him. He had to say that the craftsmanship was amazing! If he hadn't seen the gaps like a few windows beside him, it would be unimaginable that such a wood-carved big roc bird of more than thirty feet was actually a flying boat! It seems that all worlds have their own characteristics.
Similarly, after seeing this flying boat, Xiao Hao sighed in his heart that in an era without technology, such carving can only be done by hand! Such hand-crafted technology is simply a magical craft. You can even feel the momentum of wood carvings flying wings and entering the sky and the sky.
In other words, this sculpture has a soul!
"Xiao Hao," Tu Yong suddenly turned around, "The teacher said just now that Feizhou's sacrificial description is too complicated. What do you think should you use the Legal way of thinking to describe it?"
Hum? Xiao Hao was stunned, but then he realized that this was a good way of education. He didn't expect that he would enjoy such education one day. But since he asked, Xiao Hao was also thinking.
"Teacher, I think Confucianism and other people use various languages to describe a certain state. Although this is beautiful and sometimes very imposing, it often deviates from its essence.
If we look at the Legalist ideas and find a description that directly points to the origin, then I think it would be better to directly describe flight.
For example, if it soars into the sky, the wind rises by 90,000 miles, and the sky rises up straight, it can be done."
"Haha, it's not bad. Remember, don't learn those corrupt scholars. No matter how gorgeous the words are, they are just using luck. As long as you can use luck, any kind of sacrifice can be done.
Just like you said, give me a fulcrum and I can pry up Dongsheng Shenzhou! Just find this fulcrum, it is enough!
