Linzi Library,
"Everyone, have you not made up your mind?”
Inksnow's voice was filled with excitement as she looked at the thick stack of books such as Mozi, Mo Jing, and Hu Feizi.
"This Great Qin Library is indeed as the plaque at the door says. However, Qin Fa's ruthlessness is still very different from the tenet of our Mo family!”
Mo Shou reluctantly put down the book in his hand and said in a muffled voice.
"Just as the mysterious expert said in the preface, there is a process for any change. One of the important meanings of the existence of the Hundred Schools of Thought is to explore how to make this change more in line with the way of nature and benefit more people!”
"Since the Qin Emperor has already shown his tolerance for my Mohist school, shouldn't my Mohist school take this opportunity to enter the inner room and advise the Qin Emperor to correct his harsh policies and cruel methods? At the same time, we should also communicate with other theories to make up for our shortcomings?”
Inksnow said firmly.
"Elder Inksnow is right!"
"Come to think of it, although there are many reasons for the decline of our Mohist school, which used to be on par with Confucianism, one of the key reasons is that Confucianism has colluded with the dignitaries of various countries to control the imperial court and firmly control the channels for scholars to study!”
" This fully shows that any theory cannot be developed and passed on without the approval and assistance of the imperial court that we despised before!”
"Take this as an example. Our Mo clan has worked hard for many years to impart the Dao, but we only have a few hundred disciples. Due to the constant loss of our disciples, our sect's ancient books are not even as complete as the library of the imperial court!”
" The sentences, annotations, and various illustrations in the classics have made the profound theories and mechanisms much easier to understand. We have benefited a lot from them!”
"It's time for the Mo family to change!”
Looking at the rows of bookshelves filled with the revised Mohist classics that countless disciples of the various schools of thought were scrambling to read, the elders of the Mohist family were all overwhelmed with emotions and subconsciously felt a little more grateful to the Qin Emperor.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the meticulously revised and annotated Mohist classics, which occupied a prominent position in the library, had directly brought the dying Mohist School a chance to rise again!
Even if these students did not join the Mohist school in the end, as long as they used the Mohist school's philosophy and the Mohist school's mechanism techniques in their future government, the inheritance of the Mohist school would continue to flourish.
"Then let's give it a try."
Seeing the other elders 'determined expressions, Mo Shou immediately did not say anything else.
"Since we have all agreed to participate in the Imperial Court's examination, we have to make serious preparations. We must stand out, or else the other clans will laugh at our Mo Clan for being lacking!”
Seeing the usually stubborn Mo Shou nod in agreement, Inksnow heaved a sigh of relief and spoke again.
"Of course!"
"According to the official announcement, all the top students have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the Qin Emperor. This is the opportunity for our Mo family to become famous again!”
The rest of the Mo elders nodded their heads and began to plan their own reference projects seriously.
"I just don't know who this mysterious author of the preface is.”
"Why is he so familiar with the ideology of our Mo Family?”
Judging from all the signs, the change in the Qin Emperor was very likely related to this mysterious expert!
In order to meet him, I must win the first place in the assessment!”
Looking at the Book of Mo in her hand again, Inksnow's beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation and longing.
...
Xianyang City.
Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Prime Minister, this is the paper book that appeared in Xianyang City recently!”
Gao Qiu respectfully handed over a book of the Book of Songs, his expression somewhat perturbed.
"It's indeed far better than the bamboo slips of the past!”
Wang Wan silently stared at the book for a long time before suddenly saying,""Is there any response from the faculty?”
"It's already a complete mess!"
"Chunyu Yue, Shu Suntong, and the others wrote a letter overnight, hoping that His Majesty would open up the technology of this new type of paper book to benefit all scholars in the world!”
"The Confucian Academy is also looking for craftsmen. The General Manor is almost full of Confucian scholars!”
Gao Qiu quickly replied.
"How can such a divine skill be discovered in a short period of time?”
"Furthermore, with His Majesty and Li Si around, the General's Office must have received strict orders to not allow any technology to leak out!”
"It's over. We'll have a hard time in the future!" Wang Wan shook her head helplessly.”
"Is Prime Minister worrying too much?"
"This time, Zhang Shuo isn't the only one who supports the enfeoffment. Could it be that Your Majesty really thinks that a few words from the streets can take down nearly half of the court officials?”
Gao Qiu whispered.
"Our Majesty is not someone ordinary people can compare to!”
Wang Wan let out a long sigh." Send a memorial for me. Tell them that I am old and weak and that my old illness has relapsed. I request to resign from the position of Prime Minister!"”
"Prime Minister!"
Gao Qiu was stunned.
In his opinion, even if Wang Wan wanted to take responsibility for supporting the enfeoffment system, he would at most be reprimanded by the First Emperor and weaken some of his authority.
He had never thought that it would actually reach the point of directly resigning from the phase!
"If I didn't have this new type of paper book, I might still be able to keep my position, but now!”
Wang Wan smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"But isn't everyone saying that this new paper is extremely expensive and can't completely replace the bamboo slips?”
Gao Qiu looked flustered.
Although this group of people had a certain level of ability, they were able to enter the Imperial Court mainly because of Wang Wan's appreciation.
If Wang Wan really retired and returned to his hometown, the newly appointed Right Prime Minister would definitely appoint his trusted aides again. The outcome of this group of people could be imagined.
"How can it be true?"
"According to the news from Linzi, there are at least hundreds of thousands of such books in the rebuilt library of Jixia Learning Palace!”
"Moreover, the latest announcements of the Imperial Court have all been issued on new paper. It can be seen that not only is the cost of this new paper far lower than imagined, but it's also not difficult to make!”
Wang Wan sighed again." Don't worry. Although this old man is going to retire this time, I can still say that it's good in the imperial court. What you're worried about won't happen!"”
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
Gao Qiu heaved a sigh of relief this time.
That was true. Even if Wang Wan resigned from his post as the Right Prime Minister, he still had an extremely high reputation among the Guanlong aristocratic families. No matter who it was, it was impossible for them to really underestimate Wang Wan.
His position should have been preserved.
At this moment,
The butler of the prince's mansion suddenly strode into the study and whispered a few words into Wang Wan's ear.
"Kong Rong is actually in contact with Xu Fu?”
"That's right. Xu Fu is from Qi!”
"Looks like I can hand in my resignation later!”
Wang Wan hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she kept the resignation letter that she had already written back into her sleeve.
