Chapter 183 Mo Wen’s anger and the reappearance of the Hundred Schools of Thoughts (Part 1)
In Luliu Town, Wang Dafu and Mo Wen were walking side by side, taking a casual walk in the town, and some things needed to be communicated more.
Mo Wen was still expressionless, as if he was in a very unhappy mood. He had already adapted to his virtue of "constipation has not been cured for fifteen days". He smiled distractedly and said, "Xiao Wen, I have something I want to ask you." It can be seen that Mo Wen was extremely dissatisfied with the title "Xiao Wen", because he frowned slightly in a rare manner. However, Mo Wen was Mo Wen after all. Although he was very dissatisfied, he still didn't say anything, but turned his eyes to Wang Dafu.
Wang Dafu was already familiar with his style and had no expectation that Mo Wen would talk to him "normal", so he continued to say on his own: "Xiao Wen, I want to ask, what is the situation of you, the Hundred Schools of the past, in the past?" Wang Dafu's question was a little vague, but Mo Wen understood. He looked at Wang Dafu in surprise. He originally thought that Wang Dafu was going to ask if he was willing to settle in Luliu Town or planned to ask about the specific situation of the Mo family, but Wang Dafu directly asked, "What is the situation of the Hundred Schools of the Mo family?" This question was really beyond his expectations!
After a moment of silence, Mo Wen spoke: "The various schools of thought have long become yesterday's yellow flowers. Now the Eastern Continent is a unique Confucian scholar." Wang Dafu nodded without saying anything. The situation Mo Wen was talking about was basically the same as not saying anything, even a three-year-old child knew about it.
Sure enough, Mo Wen had some other words, and he said: "After Confucianism intensified its absolute advantage, it suppressed other schools to varying degrees! Among them, the Legalists were the worst and almost uprooted..." The Legalists and Confucianism were absolute arch rivals, and the thoughts of both sides were incompatible in all aspects. In addition, Qin Shihuang, the spokesperson chosen by the Legalists, once "burned books and buried scholars" and curbed Confucianism. After Confucianism took power, he would definitely take revenge on the Legalists. Wang Dafu expressed his understanding of this! "... Although other schools now have their own inheritance, they will no longer publicize their ideas openly. Many schools have degenerated into a certain survival skill, not a system of thought."
It was rare that Mo Wen said so many things in one breath. Wang Dafu secretly doubted whether Mo Wen said more today than he said in a year. However, he still heard something interesting in Mo Wen's words - Mo Wen did not mention the Mo family!
In fact, if Legalists and Confucianism are mortal enemies, then Mohism and all rulers will be mortal enemies! The core of their thoughts and ideas "either love" and "non-attack" will never be welcomed by any ruler!
"So little question, what is the situation of your Mo family now?" After thinking about it, Wang Dafu decided to say his meaning directly. There is no meaning to circle the stinky stones like the Mo family disciples!
Sure enough, Wang Dafu's attitude made Mo Wen satisfied. Although he was still expressionless, he answered his question seriously: "The Mo family is in a very bad situation now. Since the beginning of the battle for hegemony, the Mo family has been constantly losing disciples. After the Song-Jin War and the Fengbo Pavilion incident, the head of the family Mo Yeyu passed away. The top ten disciples of the Mo family generation have been completely lost. Now they have been hit by several forces in joint efforts." Looking at Wang Dafu deeply, Mo Wen said slowly: "Mo family needs to rest now." With Mo Wen's aloofness, saying such words is already the limit he can do.
"It seems that the Mo family is really in trouble this time..." Wang Dafu lowered his head and thought for a while, shook his head and said to himself: "No, don't let them..." The man immersed in his world did not pay any attention. When he said this, Mo Wen's face suddenly became even colder, but Wang Dafu had not finished saying it: "...... It is too dangerous to build a village alone. They must be hidden among ordinary residents!" At this time, Mo Wen's face gradually eased, but... it seemed that there was no difference.
Wang Dafu raised his head and said to Mo Wen, "Xiao Wen, I have considered that your Mo family is not suitable for establishing their own separate villages now. This is really too conspicuous. I think you should be scattered to various industries and hide them. However, as a school, you always need a place to gather, so I decided to deliver an important industry in Luliu Town to your Mo family." It seems that he forgot that he had not agreed to settle down yet. However, Mo Wen did not care about these trivialities. He just looked at Wang Dafu calmly and waited for him to continue talking.
Wang Dafu smiled: "I think you will like this industry, and it also conforms to your Mohist thoughts..." Mo Wen listened to the salivating man in the new era to talk about the things that matched the Mohist disciples, but he didn't say what industry it was. Until Mo Wen's face changed from cold to ashes, Wang Dafu, who felt that he had already had enough fun, said leisurely: "It is - Shantang!"
Mo Wen's face immediately changed from ashen to black, and the words behind seemed to squeeze out from the gap of his teeth: "Shantang? Lord, the Lord, you are not kidding!"
Wang Dafu's suggestion was a bit too much, but Wang Dafu did have his own considerations. He first stretched out a finger and swayed in front of Mo Wen's eyes a few times and said, "First, what the Mo family needs now is to hide their identities, and this industry is very suitable for you to hide their identities!" Then he stretched out his second finger, shook his sway in front of Mo Wen and said, "Second, Shantang is a place that can benefit the vast majority of poor people.
Leave it to someone who can trust without too much desire to take care of it." Finally, he clamped Mo Wen's nose with two fingers, and pinched it twice before Mo Wen got angry, and taught Mo Wen to ask: "Xiao Wen! Have you forgotten your traditional ideas of the Mo family? Do you dare to look down on Shantang, a career that can benefit the world?" The teasing "Xiao Wen" now seems to have become Wang Dafu's second hobby after bullying "Lao Shi"...
The veins on Mo Wen's head were all jumping up. I believe this might be the first time in his life that he was so angry? He took a few deep breaths. "Wooden Face" Mo Wen's face, which had never been expressionless, suddenly showed a very "frozen" smile, and asked Wang Dafu "gently": "Mayor, I have a task here to gather various schools of thought in the territory. Are you interested?"
