Chapter 71: Prince Fusu of Qin and Confucian Fusu

Seeing Xiang Licheng's excited expression, Ying Yuan hurriedly helped the old man up.

"Don't get too excited, sir!"

"This thing is certainly important, but it's just the first thing I called you here for!"

"There is one thing that is more important to Daqin and to me!"

"ah?!!"

After hearing what Ying Yuan said, Fusu and Xianglicheng expressed their most sincere feelings.

Ying Yuan was not surprised by this. Instead, he calmly pointed to the box of paper in front of them.

"This thing will change everything in the world that needs to be expressed in words."

"Books, memorials, pictures..."

"Wherever words, paintings, etc. are needed for recording, this thing will appear!"

"More importantly, the material used is extremely simple."

"Just now, the master said that they are just some herbs."

"The craftsmanship is extremely simple, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make it with just a few people in my house who can't even be considered craftsmen!"

"But now that this thing has been made, the remaining work is no longer mine!"

"Giant!"

"exist!"

With just a greeting, the great leader of the Mohist school responded respectfully. His attitude was extremely submissive.

Ying Yuan smiled and nodded slightly, saying: "Since this item is of great importance, it will definitely be handed over to my father later."

"But all the processes and production techniques at this time were just something I figured out!"

"It seems that you all think it's good right now, but in fact, in my opinion, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

"Then, these things can only be done by the master and all the disciples of the Mohist School!"

"After all, you are the ones who are in charge of this matter!"

"I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Xiang Licheng didn't put forward any conditions. He just folded his hands, bowed deeply again, and accepted the task with a loud shout.

Because he understood that although it seemed like hard work, in fact, it was also giving the Mohist school a part of the credit for "papermaking".

What a great achievement this is!

For the Mohists, being able to share a little bit of credit and fame would be a good reputation that would last forever.

A little bit of hard work is nothing!
Ying Yuan was not too excited when he saw this.

They are not stupid. The benefits here are too great. It would be strange if the leader of the Mohist school could not understand this.

However, the papermaking technique is just a reward from the system.

What actually matters to him today is another thought.

He needs to find some tools for himself!

"Brother, Master, now that the papermaking matter has been arranged, let me tell you about the really important matter I want to discuss with you today!"

"I want to open a college in Xianyang!"

"This academy doesn't care about your background or where you came from. We only care about people who are hard-working, humble and eager to learn!"

"My idea is that my brother and the giant should be in charge of this matter!"

Fusu was a little confused when he heard this.

Why did you jump to college?

Moreover, it’s just a college, how can it be more important than papermaking?

"Sir, you let me take charge of this matter, but do you want to promote my Mohist doctrine in this courtyard?"

Compared with Fusu, Xianglicheng's ideas are much more straightforward.

"That's right!" "In my opinion, this academy is more important than the Jixia Academy!"

"With the advent of papermaking, all schools of thought will surely prosper!"

"The grand occasion of Jixia Academy will surely appear again."

"But in my eyes, our Great Qin has no shortage of officials who only talk big and give orders, but it lacks people who are down-to-earth and serve the country."

"Therefore, I will name this college Daqin Institute of Technology!"

"This hospital doesn't want big talk, but hard work!"

"Not only can they work, but they must also be able to research and develop practical things such as farm tools, military equipment, vehicles, etc., just like the Mohists!"

"In my opinion, this is the most important thing for Daqin!"

When Ying Yuan said this, Fusu frowned slightly, but Xiang Licheng laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, thank you, Master Yuan, for giving me this opportunity!"

"Don't worry, my lord. My Mohist family will never hide anything. We will definitely train batches of excellent craftsmen for the Qin Dynasty!"

At this moment, Xiang Licheng seemed to have seen the scene where students who graduated from Daqin Institute of Technology would spread Mohist teachings throughout Daqin and seek welfare for the people in the future.

This picture is so beautiful!

Ever since Ying Yuan proposed the idea of ​​"coming from the people and going back to the people" to Xiang Licheng, Xiang Licheng has been thinking about the way out and future of Mohism all the time.

Now it seems that all the solutions I had envisioned were bullshit.

It was Gongzi Yuan who took action, which showed true magnanimity and broad-mindedness.

He first used the magical art of papermaking to make the Mohist School famous, and then he set up an academy specifically for the Mohist School to recruit and train disciples.

This is much better than accepting a disciple privately.
After all, this was an academy proposed by the Prince Regent and built by the Qin government.

From now on, it will be the Qin Dynasty that endorses the Mohist School.

Not to mention, if it was an academy established by the Qin Dynasty, it would prove that all the disciples who could successfully graduate would be able to receive salaries from the court in the future.

What is this?

This is what is organized!

The end of the universe is the system!
As a result, Ying Yuan's move not only achieved his goal of recruiting disciples and spreading Mohist doctrines, but also solved the disciples' future employment and staffing issues.

Laugh to death!

With such a great thing and such a good person in front of me, if I hesitated even a little bit, it would be an insult to my status as a great figure of the Mohist school.

But Xiangli Cheng was excited, and Fusu felt something was wrong.

"No, Sixth Brother, why is it that only the Mo family can open an academy?"

"Since you can create something as magical as paper, you can definitely open another holy place for learning like the Jixia Academy!"

"I think Confucianism, which advocates benevolence, righteousness, propriety and law, can also occupy a place in it!"

Hearing that his brother was still advocating for Confucianism at this time, Ying Yuan's face suddenly turned cold.

"Brother, are you really a prince of my Great Qin?"

"Ah?? What do you mean, Sixth Brother? Why am I not a prince of the Great Qin?"

"Then why are you not interested in the Qin Dynasty or the Confucian School? Are you my Prince Fusu of the Qin Dynasty or the Confucian Fusu?"

At this time, Ying Yuan was really not polite at all.

"Is it etiquette, benevolence and justice that our Great Qin lacks at this moment?"

"What Daqin lacks is tools that can enable the people to produce more food, tools that can enable the people to weave cloth, and tools that can enable the people to drink water and irrigate."

"As long as people have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, they can live in peace even without officials to govern."

"But if they don't have enough to eat and enough clothes to wear, who will care about you even if you talk about benevolence and etiquette to the people every day?"

"Brother, are you Fusu, the prince of Qin or Fusu, the Confucian?"
