Chapter 037: The Battle
Ying Liang looked at the Hundred Schools of Philosophy below the main stage. Although they didn't look at him well, he didn't care.
Ying Liang took a step forward and said," It's been three days, and today is the fourth day. When the Jixia Learning Palace debate reopened, it was already decided that the topic would be 'How to Make Great Qin Strong'.”
"But three days have passed, and I realized that none of the theories of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy have touched on the topic of debate. This makes me wonder if the theories of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy are useless.”
"However, it seems wrong to think this way. After all, if you look back at history, you will find that the theories of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy were once stronger than a vassal state.”
"However, I've found that there's nothing that can be used to strengthen Great Qin. If that was the case, did the descendants of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy not learn the essence and were just waiting for death?”
The members of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy were furious because Ying Liang's words had offended them.
"Hmph, you're just a dog of Bao Qin. How can you understand the Mo family's academics?”Big Hammer cursed.
As previously mentioned, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy could speak freely during the debate and would not be punished for their words. Although the Mohist Big Hammer's words were unpleasant, Ying Liang did not order anyone to arrest him.
Ying Liang looked at the big hammer and said,"Oh, I see." Alright then, I'll ask the Mo family here. I wonder if the Mo family can answer, or if they dare to answer?”
Although Big Iron Hammer was happy to scold Ying Liang, today's debate was still the main thing. Now that Ying Liang had directly placed the problem in front of the Mo Family, the Mo Family had no choice but to accept it.
"Duke Xiaoyao, please ask."”
"Alright, I heard that the Mohist school uses universal love and non-aggression as their tenets. They use the Mohist school's mechanism techniques to realize their academic ideals.”
"Then may I ask the Mo family, how can the mechanism technique be used in a powerful country?”
Since the birth of the Mo family, they had created many mechanisms. The most famous one was the siege war between the Mo family's ancestor, Mozi, and the Gongshu family's ancestor, Gongshu Ban."The Mohist Art of Traps is a great contribution to the defense of the city.”
Ying Liang nodded and shook his head."That's not right."
The Mo family's giant wanted to object, but Ying Liang didn't give him the chance to say,""I know about the battle between Mozi and Gongshu Ban, but now that the world is unified, there is only one Kingdom, Great Qin.”
"There is no longer any need for offense or defense, so what is the use of the Mo Family?”
This time, the Mo Family's Giant did not say anything else. After all, all of the Mo Family's mechanisms were created for defense. Just as Ying Liang had said, the world had been unified by Great Qin, so there was no need to defend anymore.
As for the foreign barbarians, it was not that the Mo family looked down on them. Just a qualified general from the military school could defend the city with sufficient logistics. It was the same without the Mo family.
Seeing that the Mo family's giant was no longer speaking, Ying Liang continued,"'Mohist mechanisms, walking with wood and stone; Bronze opened his mouth to ask Gongshu. This sentence was a summary of the Mo family and the Gongshu family's mechanism techniques. I wonder if the Mo family giant agrees?”
"That's true," replied the Mo Family's giant with certainty.”
"Alright, then may I ask, Mo family giant, in your opinion, is the Gongshu family's mechanism technique only used to attack cities?”Ying Liang asked.
Before the Mo Family's giant could reply, Big Hammer said impatiently,""Isn't this nonsense? Everyone knows that the Gongshu family's domineering mechanism technique is extremely powerful. Of course, it can only be used to attack cities. Back then, didn't your Baoqin use the Gongshu family's domineering mechanism technique to defeat the six countries in Shandong?”
The Mo Family giant thought to himself,'Not good, something happened.'
Ying Liang smiled after hearing Big Hammer's words.
Although Ying Liang was asking about the Mo Family's giant, Big Iron Hammer answered. Everyone present knew that Big Iron Hammer was a member of the Mo Family and could not represent the Mo Family. However, in this situation, if Big Iron Hammer answered, then Big Iron Hammer was answering on behalf of the Mo Family.
"Alright, I have a farming tool that I discussed with the current Gongshu family head some time ago. It's used for farming. I gave it the name 'Quyuan Plow'.”
" It's made up of 11 parts made of wood or metal. The straight shaft and long shaft are changed into curved shaft and short shaft. A plow plate that can rotate freely is installed at the shaft head. This not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also makes it easy to turn around and turn. It's flexible to operate and saves manpower and animal power.”
"We can cultivate more land, harvest more food, and feed more people.”
"Since your Mo family thinks that the Gongshu family's mechanism technique is overbearing and can only be used to attack cities, it's not a big deal. Then, does your Mo Family have any mechanism techniques that can increase food production?”
After hearing Ying Liang's words, everyone was not surprised by the exquisiteness of the Gongshu family's mechanism technique that could be used for agriculture, but by the terrifying effect of the curved plow.
The old farmer who was listening to the lecture ignored his family's tugging and immediately went forward to ask,"Is Duke Xiaoyao serious?"
Ying Liang originally only wanted to question the Mo family, but he didn't expect the farmer family to come out. He immediately said,"What I said is true."
"Then…" The old farmer wanted to say something, but he did not dare to say it.
Ying Liang knew what the old farmer wanted to say, but now was not the time, so he said,"Elder, if you are interested, you can go to Xianyang together after the debate and use it on the spot to see if the effect is as I said.”
"Alright, we'll do as Deputy Xiao Yao says." The old farmer was overjoyed.”After saying that, she happily returned to the farmhouse.
After the old farmer left, Ying Liang looked at the Mo family giant and waited for an answer.
Yan Dan, the giant of the Mohists who was being watched by the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, was speechless. Ever since he became the giant of the Mohists, Yan Dan had used his power to shift the focus of the Mohists 'trap techniques to the overbearing trap techniques. He wanted to create powerful trap techniques in the hope that he could overthrow the rule of the Qin Dynasty and restore the Yan Country in the future.
The Mo family members looked at their giant and were secretly worried. However, their hearts were also filled with questions. The Mo family should not lack such mechanisms for production. Why was their giant silent?
Master Ban was the only one in the Mo Family who knew what was going on. He was worried for Yan Dan. He knew Yan Dan's orders and followed them. In the past, it was to overthrow Bao Qin, but now, it had become a fatal weakness. It was very likely that the Mo Family would have a new leader today.
"Giant, I wonder if Deputy Xiao Yao will be able to pass this round?”Master Ban thought to himself.
