Chapter 42: Meng Yi gradually becomes permanent!
Afterwards, he put forward the three major conditions necessary for the revival of Mohism, intending to make him retreat when he saw the difficulty.

Unexpectedly, he responded with "that's all"?
Thinking of his confident look, it makes me angry and helpless~!

What followed was a whole day in which my perception of the world was overturned and my concepts were reshaped.

Curved plow, papermaking technology, and ice-making technology.

Now, she firmly believes in all the inventions mentioned by the young master.

All of this seemed so real yet so dreamlike before our eyes.

And the first of the three signs of prosperity of Mohism that he had proposed earlier seemed to be within reach.

Thinking of this, Mo Ningshuang couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile, just like the plum blossoms proudly blooming in the severe winter, elegant and fragrant.

She now has great trust in this young man. Even if he mentions two other seemingly unattainable revitalization standards for the Mohist School, she is convinced that he will achieve them one by one.

She believed it.

Mo Ningshuang took a deep breath and felt that the burden in her hands was about to become reality.

It feels so good to be relieved!

Suddenly, Mo Ningshuang came back to her senses from her contemplation.

He found that the three people were looking at him eagerly. He recalled that he had been distracted for a long time just now and was smiling foolishly.

In an instant, a feeling of shame came over me.

The blush quickly spread from her neck to her ears, and coupled with her sweet smile just now, she looked extremely beautiful.

The blue-clothed and purple-clothed looked at each other and said, "This girl must have passed the interview."

"That's right, choose her. We can't let you wait too long~"

Ying Heng's eyes were also fixed on Mo Ningshuang, and he was about to invite her to have dinner with him.

Unexpectedly, Miss Mo stood up, apologized, turned around, and walked away quickly like a frightened deer. Her actions were as smooth as flowing water.

In just a few steps, he disappeared from the sight of the manor.

When she leaned against the wall to catch her breath, she could still feel her heart pounding in her chest.

However, she couldn't help laughing again and her face was as beautiful as a flower.

……

In recent days, Shangqing Mengyi's worldview has undergone several twists and turns and has been overturned.

At first, he saw Quyuanli at Ying Heng's place and listened to him expound the idea that the people are more important than the king, which shocked his worldview for the first time.

"Since when have the common people become more important than the emperor?"

He was secretly shocked and suspicious, as if the world order had been completely overturned.

The second shock occurred in the court.

When Ying Heng proposed to reform the legal system of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Yi was not surprised at all.

Because when he listened to Ying Heng's speech a few days ago about the people being the cornerstone of the country, he had a premonition of the coming of this change.

Therefore, he merely raised the confusion in his mind.

If the Legalists cannot lead the Qin Dynasty to prosperity, then which of the hundreds of schools of thought can take on this important task?
He reflected deeply on this issue after returning home.

The results show that he examined each school one by one and believed that although each school of thought had its own merits, Legalism might still be the better choice.

However, when Ying Heng expressed his views, when he clearly put forward the idea of ​​taking Confucianism as the foundation, Legalism as the support, and incorporating the essence of all schools of thought, everything overturned his inner worldview like a thunderclap.

Because he had tried to find countless solutions, but he could never find a cure to save the world.

At this moment, he had an unprecedented insight into the problems of this world. And when the real answer came out, he woke up from his dream.

It turns out that this is the correct answer.

This is undoubtedly a feasible plan, and it is the only way to truly save the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, in the morning, after Ying Heng left, when the ministers were arguing fiercely, Meng Yi chose to remain silent.

Because he already understood that this was the correct answer.

At that time, he was thinking deeply.

Thinking about what the gap between himself and the Thirteenth Young Master is.

After a brief thought, he stopped worrying about it because the gap was too big, so big that he could never fill it even if he spent his entire life.

Then he fell into another thought - the issue of Fusu.

Fusu also advocated Confucianism, and the ideological system of the Thirteen Princes today is also based on Confucianism, supplemented by Legalist ideas.

It can be seen that the Thirteenth Young Master also has a special liking for Confucianism.

However, there are differences between the two.

Fusu advocated restoring the ancient feudal system, granting the nobles greater power, and implementing the aristocratic way of governing the territory.

This idea has actually been proven to be outdated.

Perhaps due to Fusu's limited intelligence, he could only plan the future of Qin by referring to ancient systems.

The Thirteenth Young Master, on the other hand, examines the essence of state governance from the perspective of the people.

This extremely novel and heretical idea at the time was the first time it had been proposed since ancient times.

At the beginning, Meng Yi, as a member of the aristocracy, was deeply opposed to this idea.

However, when he pondered this issue for the second time today, he decided to temporarily put aside his aristocratic status and consider it from the perspective of pure national development and long-term stability.

He realized that perhaps allowing the general public to become the core force driving the country forward is the key to truly solving the country's governance problems.

This is incomparable, and is especially evident in these two princes - Prince Thirteen and Prince Fusu.

They are both supporters of Confucianism and Taoism, but the gap between them is as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.

If the Qin Dynasty is likened to a person suffering from a long-term illness, then Prince Fusu insisted on using the old methods of treatment that have been proven to be ineffective or even harmful in the past.

The Thirteenth Young Master was able to accurately get to the heart of the Qin Empire's illness, revealing all the problems one by one, and innovatively developing unprecedented treatment plans for these problems, the ingenuity of which was breathtaking.

Under such a comparison, the advantages and disadvantages are immediately apparent, like the difference between heaven and earth.

In the morning, amid the noisy voices in the hall, Meng Yi felt both excited and sad.

What’s exciting is that Daqin seems to have finally found a way to revive.

Sadly, he devoted his entire life to supporting Fusu, and even when the Legalist forces such as Li Si controlled the government, he never wavered in his adherence to Confucian ideals.

Thinking about it now, this persistence seems extremely sad.

I have been stuck in the wrong situation for a long time without realizing it.

After all the ministers discussed the matter and finally agreed that the Thirteenth Young Master's idea was quite feasible, they also put forward two crucial preconditions.

The primary problem is that people are still hungry. How can this problem be resolved?
Secondly, when it comes to "literature carries the message", since the Thirteenth Prince is determined to create a brand new concept of governing the country, he intends to achieve universal learning and all-round development by spreading culture and absorbing the essence of hundreds of academic schools.

But if the people are short of money and have difficulty purchasing even paper, ink, pens and inkstones, let alone solving the most basic problems of food, clothing and shelter, how can they have the spare energy to pursue knowledge?
