Chapter 37: Governing the country is just a side job, finding beautiful women is the main job!
After all the ministers were convinced, they immediately began to discuss how to put this strategy into practice.
However, during the research process, they discovered that no one among them could understand the full picture of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
At this moment, an unknown Confucian scholar named Dong Zhongshu appeared in the crowd.
He had become involved in the debate at some point, had a deep understanding of Confucianism, and had unique insights into various schools of thought.
In debates, he always seemed to easily overpower other civil officials.
When everyone was stunned, the Jinyiwei who stayed behind explained: "This person is the great scholar Dong Zhongshu, and the Thirteenth Master specially left him here to answer everyone's questions."
Dong Zhongshu is like the specific operator in the Thirteenth Gentlemen's implementation of the national strategy of "abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone". All you have to do is cooperate closely with him.
In other words, Dong Zhongshu is like the professional project leader who stays behind the CEO who sets the strategic tone.
Which business leader, after establishing the direction, would personally devote himself to the execution level?
When everyone heard this, although they were reluctant to let this task that carried eternal fame fall into the hands of others, this matter was of great importance and even capable ministers such as Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi would find it difficult to do it.
After a heated discussion, everyone agreed that only Dong Zhongshu had the ability and vision to preside over this great cause.
After obtaining everyone's approval, Dong Zhongshu proposed several implementation steps.
"The first task is to integrate the essence of hundreds of academic schools, blend Confucianism and Taoism, and innovate laws and regulations according to His Highness Ying Heng's ideas."
"Secondly, the initially formed ideas should be spread to the world in the form of songs and rhymes that are easy to understand, so that the people can have a preliminary understanding of them."
"Furthermore, the root of thought lies in the inheritance of writing. We need to set up academies and hire many teachers to popularize new ideas among the new generation of noble children."
"At the same time, we will strive to give more children from ordinary families the opportunity to read and learn, learn all kinds of knowledge, and understand new ways of governing the world."
"also……"
Dong Zhongshu continued to convey more detailed implementation plans from the Thirteenth Young Master, which amazed everyone present.
However, two extremely acute problems immediately arose.
"First, the current written records are all on silk and bamboo slips, which are very expensive. Not to mention popularizing them to the general public, I'm afraid not everyone in the aristocracy has the financial resources to read them!"
"Secondly, in today's Qin Empire, food and clothing are still a problem in many places, but you want ordinary people to read and learn new ideas. Can this solve the problem of food?"
Dong Zhongshu smiled calmly, "You are not stupid. The Thirteenth Master had foreseen this and expected that someone would doubt these two questions. He had already made plans and prepared a plan to deal with them."
"You guys can work on drafting new laws first. I am working on solving the problems of text transmission and food at the same time."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion: Although this is an easy thing to say, how can we solve it?
"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang..."
“Stir-fried duck gizzards with sauce, irresistible deliciousness~”
Following this cheerful rhythm, Ying Heng walked towards Fusu Mansion and Mohist Courtyard with a swagger and a leisurely pace.
The two maids followed closely behind, matching his steps.
"Governing the country is only a side job after all. Two hours a day is enough."
"Today, the young master will return to his original business and look for a beautiful woman... ahem, if you happen to meet a lady, you two must cooperate well!"
"Yes, sir." X2
He lightly slapped the concierge's face and pushed him several meters away.
Pushing open the door of the Mo family courtyard and stepping inside, I saw a woman in a dark green dress reading a bamboo slip under a plum tree, with one hand behind her back, revealing her slender figure that was about to bloom.
A breeze blew by, the clothes fluttered, and the hair fluttered in the wind.
"The skin is as white as cream and as white as frost."
"Frost Flower, Frost Flower, independent."
"Miss Shuanghua, your name lives up to your reputation. You are truly extraordinary." Ying Heng walked into the courtyard with a folding fan in his hand, smiling.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Mo Ningshuang frowned slightly when she heard the voice and turned to look towards the courtyard gate.
"I am the one you are waiting for."
Ying Heng responded confidently.
"What are you doing?"
"Before I met Miss Ningshuang, the only thing I cared about was the Mohist classics."
"So, what happened after you met me?"
"I want both the book and the girl."
As expected, he is a talented and romantic man.
Mo Ningshuang smiled indifferently. She carried the profound heritage of the Mo family and had already pledged herself to the Mo family's grand cause.
"My thirteenth master, Ning Shuang has made a solemn vow that she will never talk about marriage until the day when Mohist doctrine becomes famous all over the world!"
"At this time, Yaya weapons, Ningshuang will not delay you, you should find another beauty."
Looking at such a beautiful face, such extraordinary talent, and such firm belief, Ying Heng met such an extraordinary woman for the first time.
How could you give up so easily?
As for whether or not to be an enemy of the Qin Dynasty, that is not the key point.
With an even more appreciative look, he raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Miss, can you elaborate on the highest realm of the Mohist school?"
"Since we share the same goal, maybe we can travel more easily if we travel together?"
However, Mo Ningshuang shook her head slightly, her thoughts drifting to the huge gap between her own ideas and the cruel reality, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Normally, she would not reveal her true feelings easily, but today, she was inspired by the elegance of the young man and the two stunning maids in front of her and was unwilling to admit defeat.
Or maybe this young man seemed free and unrestrained, but she caught an unfathomable self-confidence in his eyes, which made Mo Ningshuang speak frankly about the unattainable ideal in her heart.
"I, Mo Ningshuang, have three great ambitions for the Mohist School. The first is to thoroughly study and promote the Mohist mechanical arts so that they can truly benefit the people."
“Second, vigorously promote Mohist doctrine and make it the core concept of governing the country.”
"Third, I hope that one day everyone in the world will be able to learn the art of Mohist mechanical devices."
"In the prosperous times of the past, these three items would have been indispensable, and only then would I, Mo Ningshuang, be worthy of the trust of my ancestors."
"Now, Mohist doctrine has been forgotten by the world. If I can achieve one of these, I will be able to smile in my grave."
After Mo Ningshuang finished speaking, her eyes were fixed on Ying Heng, hoping that he would give up.
but!
Ying Heng just smiled and responded: "Is that all?"
"If Miss Ningshuang has no other conditions, then you can come with me now."
Mo Ningshuang: ?????
The Mohist girl stared at Ying Heng with a confused look on her face, thinking to herself: "Little brother, what do you mean? Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?"
Which of my three suggestions can be said to be easy to implement?
Now the tyrannical Qin ruled the world, and the Legalists were in the lead. They had just experienced the catastrophe of burning books and burying scholars, and the academic thought of the Hundred Schools of Thought had long since lost its foothold.
