However, other than Confucianism and Legalism, Yin-Yang School, School of Political Strategy, and School of Taoism…there were no outstanding scholars.
Similarly, he had never heard of any hermit experts in these sects.
In that case, who would be the most suitable to be Chu 'er's master?
Seeing that the First Emperor was deep in thought, Eunuch Zhang stopped talking.
However, he stood at a spot not too far away from Qin Shi Huang without any sense of presence.
"Father, I'm back."
Ying Chu's cheerful voice could be heard before they even entered the room.
"Chu 'er, what did you do in the Imperial Family Courtyard today?”
"Hehe, don't you already know?”
Ying Chu pouted and pointed at Eunuch Zhang.
He didn't believe that Qin Shi Huang didn't know what he had done.
"Eunuch Zhang, you may leave!"
"Yes!"
After waiting for them to leave, the First Emperor said,"I originally planned to find you a teacher for the Legalism School. But looking at the situation today, do you have any dissatisfaction with the Legalism and Confucianism School?"”
"Not only dissatisfied, Imperial Father, I don't want to learn those things from them at all.”
Ying Chu shook his head like a rattle-drum.
" Confucianists centered on benevolence, advocating the following of Yao and Shun, following the example of civil and military, advocating rites and music, benevolence and righteousness. Politically, they advocated the implementation of benevolent government and the rule of virtue, emphasizing ethics and moral education. It can be said that it was an impartial doctrine of the mean.”
"From the very beginning, their ideas were not on the same line as yours. Besides, even if I have learned Confucianism, the only thing I can do is to benefit one side.”
"As for the Legalism School, which one of them will have a good ending?”
"Not only that, ever since the Six Nations were unified, haven't you noticed that the tradition of 'teaching by law' and 'learning from officials' is becoming more and more incompatible with the changed environment of Great Qin?”
"If it was suitable, why would there be so many traitors in the various places? How could the remnants of the Six Nations dare to stir up trouble?”
Only Ying Chu would dare to say this.
After all, Great Qin's rulers had relied on the Legalism to create such an effect, and they had been able to create such a resounding song of victory.
Under such great conditions, Qin Shi Huang had always been firm in the superiority of Legalism and had never realized its shortcomings.
If Ying Chu wasn't the one who said this, Qin Shi Huang would have turned hostile.
How could he still listen to advice?
Didn't he see that the First Emperor's gaze had become much deeper?
"In that case, I'm sure you already have an idea. Tell me first. Other than the Legalism and Confucianism, which other sect can catch your eye?”
"The Mo Family!"
In this aspect, Ying Chu didn't hide anything.
"The Mohist family?”
This was a sect that had declined to the point that he did not take it seriously at all.
From the beginning to the end, he had even thought of the Yin-Yang School and the School of Strategy, but he had never thought of the Mo School.
Speaking of which, this Mo clan was once a colossus that no one dared to underestimate in the Qin country or even the entire land.
Mohism was a school of philosophy during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was one of the hundred schools of thought. Together with Confucianism represented by Confucius and Taoism represented by Laozi, they formed the three major philosophical systems.
It was a disciplined academic group founded by Mo Di (Mo Zi). He was the only philosopher in history who was born as a farmer. Mo Zi founded the Mohism, which had a great influence in the pre-Qin period. It was known as the "prominent school" along with Confucianism.
Not only that, but he also created a set of scientific theories with outstanding achievements in geometry, physics, and light. At that time, in the debate of the Hundred Schools of Thought, there was a title of "Non-Confucian Jimo".
After Mozi's death, Mohism was divided into three schools: Xiangli's Mohism, Xiangfu's Mohism, and Dengling's Mohism.
The main ideas of Mohism were: love equally between people (universal love), oppose invasion and war (non-aggression), advocate thrift and oppose extravagance and waste (frugality), attach importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors (Ming ghost), master the laws of nature (heavenly annals), etc.
These ideas were sharply opposed to the Confucian views.
Not only that, but it was also a school that advocated benevolent government.
Before the rise of Legalism, which represented the interests of the new landlord class, Mohism was the largest school of thought that opposed Confucianism in the Pre-Qin period.
Different from other schools of thought, Mohism was a school with a leader, a theory, and an organization. They had a strong spirit of social practice.
Mohist practitioners were hardworking and strict with themselves. They regarded the maintenance of justice and morality as an unshirkable responsibility. Mohist practitioners were mostly knowledgeable laborers.
Most of them came from the lower class of society. They took "promoting the benefits of the world and eliminating the harm of the world" as their educational goal."They wore fur coats and straw sandals, day and night, and lived a bitter life."
According to the different fields they were engaged in, the names of each type of Mohist were different. Those who engaged in debate were called "Mohist debate"; Those who engaged in martial arts were called "Mo Xia".
Also, as a practitioner of the School of Mo, he had to obey the leadership of the giants. Their discipline was extremely strict.
For example, Juzi Weiqi, his son had killed someone. Although King Hui of Qin had forgiven him, he still insisted on killing his own son.
Not only that, but according to the rules of the Mohist school, those who were sent to various countries to be officials had to carry out the political ideas of the Mohist school. I'd rather resign when it doesn't work.
In addition, the officials of the Mohist school had to donate their salaries to the group, so that they could "share the wealth with each other." Among them, the leader had to set an example.
To be honest, Qin Shi Huang really couldn't agree with this kind of Mohist thinking.
As the ruler of the entire country, he was bound to be above everyone.
However, the Mohist school of thought said that it was all about love and no offense.
As the emperor of a dynasty, he should be decisive and control the life and death of everyone. How could he be willing to believe that everyone was equal?
In his opinion, the only redeeming feature of the Mohist School was its defensive skills.
As for the scientific and technological inventions mentioned by Mozi, they were just small talk in his eyes.
He would rather believe in the Immortal Seeking Dao and the Yin-Yang School's Five Elements theory than believe in the science mentioned by Mozi.
But Chu Xin.
What had he not seen in his original world?
Technology was the number one productive force.
If a country's technology was not developed, then he could only wait to be beaten.
Looking at Shi Huang's deep frown, Ying Chu decided to tell him the story of the other world.
"Father, do you know of a type of crossbow arrow that can pierce through the sea of clouds and instantly destroy a city or a country?”
Shi Huang's originally dissatisfied expression instantly froze.
"A single arrow can instantly destroy a city or a country?" How is this possible?"
