Mohist Tang - Chapter 1315
“Thank you all for coming to see the grand ceremony of Green Finch. I’m very grateful here.” Li Shimin made a voice and gave a scene to Li Tai town first, so as not to make these thousands of families who have passed on for thousands of years ignore this new geographical vein.
The hundred families quickly bowed their hands, and Kong Yingda led the way: “Your Majesty is indeed a man of great fortune. Not only did you start the country and determine the world, but even your Highness the king of Wei can achieve the words of a family. Both father and son have made great achievements, which is really a model for families all over the world.”
Li Shimin couldn’t help showing his pride. Lao Tzu is the emperor’s son and his son is the son of a hundred families. I’m afraid such a family combination is unprecedented. How can Li Shimin not be proud.
“Thank you for your praise, green sparrow. You have just set foot in one hundred schools, and all the schools have a profound heritage for thousands of years. You will make a fool of yourself and ask for the knowledge of geography and let the hundreds of schools give you some advice.” Li Shimin didn’t dominate and returned the home to Li Tai.
Li Tai took a deep breath, went to the center, arched his hands to the hundreds of people and said, “Li Tai has made a fool of himself.”
“Your Highness King Wei, you’re welcome. We’re all ears to the great work of geography.” the hundred people solemnly said that both Li Tai’s identity and Li Tai’s academic achievements are enough for everyone to treat equally.
Li Tai nodded, looked around, and Zhou Lang said, “Li Tai is determined to create a geographical pulse. He has read the works of former sages, studied Li Sheng’s annotation of the water classic and Pei Xiu’s drawing method, and also practiced the five Confucian classics. He asked the Mohist School for advice on mineral veins. Finally, he collected the wisdom of his predecessors and learned from a hundred schools. Finally, he got a little gain, and compiled a book including local chronicles and a map of the Tang Dynasty.”
As soon as Li Tai’s voice fell, another map of the Tang Dynasty spread to hundreds of families. This map of the Tang Dynasty is different from the version circulated in the market, but describes the terrain, transportation and mineral veins of the Tang Dynasty in detail as much as possible.
Li Jing looked at the hardcover version of Datang map in his hand, and his face became more and more dignified. From his eyes, he could see the military value of this version of map.
Merton looked at the hardcover map in his hand, and looked at the newly discovered ore veins and suspected ore veins. He couldn’t help but be ecstatic. He did his best to support Li Tai’s creation of a geographical vein. As expected, he had a rich report. Once so many ore veins are mined, it will certainly make the Mohist school further.
“In addition, the source of the Yangtze River is not the Minjiang River, but the Jinsha River. That is to say, it is wrong to say that Minshan guides the river and the source of the Yangtze River is the Jinsha River in the book of Shang Yu Gong.” Li Tai threw a heavy bomb and immediately exploded among hundreds of families, No one thought that the great discovery of geography directly pointed out the mistakes of Shangshu.
Kong Ying was born with a deep face when he arrived at Dayton. It seems that only strategists and Mohists have benefited a lot. This is not beneficial to Confucianism, but has become a stepping stone on the road to success.
However, Kong Yingda’s face was not angry but pleased: “Shang Shu Yu Gong is a millennium work. His Highness the king of Wei can find out the shortcomings and make up the loopholes for Shang Shu and make it perfect. Instead of his ancestors, Kong thanked geography.”
When Kong Yingda said this, many hundred schools praised Confucianism for its magnanimity and character.
Merton couldn’t help sneering. If Confucianism really has such character, and the Mohist School continues to crack the Confucian sense of heaven and man, it won’t retaliate against the Mohist school.
“Thank you for Kong Shengzhi’s study. Geography can go further.”
Li Tai replied respectfully and continued: “in addition to finding that the Jinsha River is the main river of the Yangtze River, he also boldly guessed that both the Yangtze River and the Yellow River come from the Tibetan Plateau, and even the Yangtze River and the Yellow River come from the same source.”
Hundreds of people were in an uproar, which was a great discovery. You should know that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the two most important rivers in the Tang Dynasty. If you can prove that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River come from the same source, it would be an amazing discovery.
Li Tai seemed to have guessed the thoughts of all the Confucians and continued: “however, this is only a study of natural geography by geography. In addition, geography also studies human geography, the origin of river transportation to the city, the promotion of culture, and the 5000 year progress of China, which are of great significance to our great Tang Dynasty.”
Kong Yingda’s face was a little slow. Human geography is indeed of great significance to Confucianism. Although he found the mistake of guiding the river in Minshan, the discovery of human geography is enough to make up for the loss of Confucianism.
The knowledge of geography is both practical and profound. It soon conquered hundreds of people. Under the witness of hundreds of families, geography has officially ranked among the new hundred.
“Congratulations, your Highness the king of Wei.” hundreds of people congratulated one after another.
“Thank you for your advice!” Li Tai replied one by one.
Suddenly, an disharmonious voice came, and Li Shimin said with a smile: “I heard that the world’s knowledge is neither Confucianism nor ink, and the geography of Qingque has both natural geography and human geography. I don’t know whether it belongs to the Confucian camp or the Mohist camp.”
When Li Shimin finished, all the schools of thought were dead. Anyone could hear that Li Shimin was beating the recent phenomenon of gang building among the schools of thought. He couldn’t help but turn his eyes to Kong Yingda and Merton,
“The old minister is guilty!” Kong Yingda panicked and hurriedly went out to plead guilty to Li Shimin. Now, in order to deal with the Mohist school, he has attracted hundreds of other schools recently, which can’t hide from Li Shimin’s eyes.
“What do you think of Merton?” Li Shimin obviously didn’t intend to let them go so easily. He directly named Merton. To say that all schools of thought formed gangs, Merton was the best dancer.
Suddenly, many people in a hundred families showed a look of schadenfreude and looked up at Merton to see how he ate.
“Not to mention your highness Hui, the Shangshu has incorporated the geography book and the Shangshu Yugong into the book. The geography alone covers the terrain and cultural customs of all places, without a lot of calculation and experiments. It belongs to the Confucian camp.” as soon as Merton’s voice fell, the whole hundred families were in an uproar. No one thought that the MOH family would answer Li Shimin’s proposition positively, And took the initiative to give up the geographical vein to the Confucian camp.
“Mo’s offering wine is nonsense. Confucianism has no such thoughts.” Kong Ying dadon’s face changed greatly. Although he wanted to bring the geography together, it was unfair for the Mohists to say so.
Merton sneered: “this is not whether Confucianism has a mind or not, but a fact.”..
“Brother Mo!” Li Tai frowned and was ready to advise.
Merton smiled and interrupted Li Tai: “although it is said that the geographical vein should belong to the Confucian camp, the geographical vein studies more about mountains and rivers, topography, mineral veins and hydrology. These belong to all things in the world, which can be called the most like Mohism in the Confucian camp.”
Li Tai’s face suddenly changed. His geographical pulse had just been born and his background was shallow. If he was really involved in the dispute between Confucianism and Mohism, I’m afraid it would be more dangerous and less auspicious. However, even he had to admit that the geographical pulse was more like Mohism than Confucianism. It was hard to be caught in the middle, and he was more afraid of being excluded by both sides.
“So, now it’s not a dispute between Confucianism and Mohism, it’s a dispute between the two factions.” Li Shimin’s face is embarrassed. He doesn’t like to form gangs, and all schools of thought brazenly form gangs and don’t know how to repent.
Merton didn’t know what Li Shimin meant. He smiled bitterly and said, “tell your majesty, it’s not a hundred families forming gangs for personal gain, but a forced hardship.”
Li Shimin sneered: “it’s the first time I’ve heard of this reason. I’d like to hear it in detail.”
Merton got up and said solemnly, “it still needs to start from the first hundred schools of thought.”
