Chapter 153 News from the Mo Family

Ying Yiren was somewhat hesitant about the suggestion made by Zhao Kuo and subconsciously glanced at Lu Buwei.

Although Ying Yiren is the lord, Lu Buwei has always been doing things, and doing business is also Lu Buwei's strength.

Lu Buwei hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not hiding the ginseng business, I heard that the Zhao State government is behind the government of the State, and it may be difficult for the Qin Dynasty to pass."

Zhao Kuo laughed, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "This is not a big problem. Ginseng is different from other things. It is not military supplies at all, but men's... Do you understand?

This is a business!”

Ginseng was actually a medicinal herb, and it was also a very useful medicinal herb. However, due to the "wrong path" between King Zhao and Mr. Pingyuan at the beginning, ginseng has now become a "some aspect magical medicine" famous in China, completely deviating from its original intention.

What's even more amazing is that this makes people ginseng more expensive.

It's normal to think about it. This life-saving magic medicine is indeed useful, but most people may not use it in their lifetime or can only use it once or twice.

But not every day, it’s necessary to have a few times a month, right?

If you have a new beautiful concubine, it is necessary to have fun and sing every night.

Are the nobles short of money?

Actually, there is no shortage.

If money can be exchanged for a man's might, any nobleman would make the same choice.

This has nothing to do with the nobles being Qi, Yan, Qin or Chu, but it only has something to do with whether this person is a man! Of course, Lu Buwei could hear what Zhao Kuo meant, but he still said: "Let's do this, Wu Xinjun, wait until the spring next year, Lu went to Xianyang to meet Yangquanjun.

If there is no problem with Qin State, we will naturally have no problem, how about it?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Yes, then let's settle it."

After leaving Zhao Kuo's mansion, Ying Yiren sat in the carriage and asked with some concern: "Mr. Lu, can we really talk to Mr. Yangquan?"

Lu Buwei smiled slightly and said, "Please rest assured, I am already a little sure."

Ying Yiren breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "That's good."

Looking at the many mansions on both sides of the carriage that were constantly left behind, Ying Yiren suddenly felt a little dazed.

How great it would be if there was one of these mansions belonging to me.

After seeing Ying Yiren away, Zhao Kuo asked someone to find Mao Sui.

Zhao Kuo still attaches great importance to this ranger who was able to create an idiom and successfully postponed the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world for a full forty years.

Zhao Kuo asked with a smile: "Mao Sui, how is life in Xianyang?"

Mao Sui bowed and said, "It's okay, but the Qin people are harsh and there is almost no entertainment in Xianyang, which really makes me feel a little sad."

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and understood what entertainment Mao Sui was talking about. He couldn't help laughing: "Then you can have a good entertainment when you return to Handan. I'll tell Xu Li Jiazai later that he would choose two best dancers for you!"

Mao Sui smiled and thanked Zhao Kuo, thought for a while and said, "Master, I went to Xianyang this time and learned about some information, but I don't know if it is useful."

Zhao Kuo said: "You can come here just by way of yourselves."

Mao Sui said: "There seems to be some divisions among the Mo family of Qin. Some people are very dissatisfied with the Qin people's emphasis on the use of the Legalists, and seem to have signs of wanting to leave Qin."

"Mo family?"

Zhao Kuo raised his eyebrows and immediately became interested.

Among the various schools of thought in the Warring States Period, Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism are naturally well-known. Although the Mohist school was not famous in later generations, it was once ranked alongside Confucianism in the early stages of the controversy of hundreds of schools, and was called "the current generation of exoteric scholars."

However, the "universal love and attack" promoted by the Mohist school was really impossible to be accepted by the king in the context of the princes fighting each other's lives and death, so the Mohist school gradually declined and was divided into several different schools.

One of the largest schools was invited by the Legalists to enter the Qin State, which is the so-called "Qin Mo" school. This is also the only Mo school that can be known to the world at that time. Several other schools have either been inherited or have not known where to live in seclusion and have long since disappeared.

Zhao Kuo was a little curious: "How did you learn about this Mohist family?"

Mao Sui said: "When the king returned to the king, Qin Mo was actually divided into three factions, namely "Mo Shi", "Mo Gong" and "Mo Xia". Among them, Mo Shi became an official in Qin State, Mo Gong was a craftsman, and Mo Xia was a raider.

I have been a ranger for many years before, and I am somewhat famous. Therefore, this time some of the Mo people secretly contacted me to see if Jun Hou and Da Zhao were willing to accept them."

Zhao Kuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it Mo Xia or Mo Gong?"

Since Mo Shi was able to be an official in Qin, he would not come to Zhao no matter how he thought about it. He could only be a member of the other two factions.

Mao Sui said: "There are both Mo Xia and Mo Gong."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's good. You will continue to follow Lu Buwei to Qin tomorrowchun. On the one hand, you are the contact person for the ginseng business. On the other hand, you also secretly contacted Mo Xia and Mo Gong to tell them that as long as they are willing to come to Da Zhao, I, Zhao Kuo, are willing to accept them as my retainers!"

Mao Sui nodded seriously and took the order to retreat.

Zhao Kuo sat in the room, took a deep breath, and his mood suddenly became a little excited.

The Mohist contribution to China was not limited to the ideological aspect. In fact, the Mohist's creative ability was second to none among the various schools of thought.

Mozi, the founder of the Mo family, helped Song to defend the attack of Chu. You should know that Chu was the help of Lu Ban, known as the "No. 1 skillful craftsman in the world", which is enough to prove the Mo family's ability in siege and defending the city.

Moreover, Mozi is also a physicist and mathematician. He has described in detail the light and shadow, pinhole imaging, the definition of force, the definition of circle, the principle of leverage, the relationship between time and space, decimal algorithms, etc.

Mozi even made wooden planes! These talents are urgently needed by Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo's mind was full of modern scientific theories, but he needed someone to help him turn these theories into reality. The Mohist school was undoubtedly a very good choice.
