Back Off, Let Me Come

Before Shen Tang arrived, the tent was buzzing with chatter.

The awakened Mo Zhe hadn't figured out his own changes yet, so everyone gathered around Bei Jiu to ask for advice - about Bei Jiu's cultivation, Qi Yuanliang gave her an order as soon as he found out, before the lord saw her in person. , prohibiting her from mentioning it to outsiders.

Bei Jiu cautiously asked Qi Shan.

[Can you tell me the scope of this outsider? 】

Qi Shan said: [If you are not trusted by the Lord, you are an outsider. 】

When these words reached Bei Jiu's ears, they were automatically translated as "Shen Jun is an outsider unless he personally acknowledges it." She bit her lip and hesitated for a long time, but in the end she still did not inform the sect Mo Zhe who had defected. Until Bei Jiu met Shen Tang and confessed to the latter his mistake of "abusing power for personal gain". The Lord was tolerant and generous in forgiving Bei Jiu, and at the same time he recognized the fifty-five masters of Mohism.

Naturally, Bei Jiu no longer needs to hide anything.

The awakened master Mo Zhe also had the same "qi". While Bei Jiu comforted them, he also did not forget to add that the changes in everyone are related to the master. None of these Mohists have any fancy ideas. If they really wanted to be Mohists, they would not be willing to be Mohists and would immediately elevate Shen Tang to the level of a great master of the Mohist family. If he hadn't been hungry, he would have wanted to go see her right now.

Beijiu asked people to prepare food, and he quickly imparted his experience to others, which was quite the style of a famous teacher.

Everyone, including Mo Zhe, who had no "qi", listened in awe. They know that although they can practice, they cannot be as powerful as the literary scholars/valiant warriors, but Beijiu's scaled sword ruler "non-attack" and the weightless all-purpose toolbox "Jian Ai", how can they Which Mohist wouldn't be greedy after seeing it? Not to mention that these "Qi" are just like the Wen Qi/Martial Qi, and they also have the effect of nourishing the meridians, which means they will have a strong body and abundant energy!

Work is not tiring and there is no fear of sudden death.

I can spin for more than half a month and still feel energetic.

Just a few clicks can make you stand out from other ink practitioners!

Beijiu also confessed that the "excavator" she drove to the government office every day was also made of "qi", instead of the benefits she had lied about before. In the future, when they accumulate enough "qi", they can also turn into an "excavator" to travel!

When I think of that image, my spine straightens even more.

They still remember the shock when they saw the "excavator" for the first time. They wanted to try it and touch it, but they didn't dare to do it because the "excavator" was a reward distributed by the government, for fear that they would be rough. If it is broken, Bei Jiu will be implicated.

As they traveled all over the country, they often heard that things given by nobles should be treated well, and if they were slightly damaged, they would be punished. Beijiu took the risk to insert them, and they could not repay kindness with enmity. Hehe, you don’t have to worry about anything now!

but--

Bei Jiu still poured cold water on them: "This excavator can't be transformed out of thin air. It seems that every part must be thoroughly understood. The drawings belong to the lord, and I cannot pass them on without her permission. I will go back and see the lord. , ask her if she is willing to give it to you. If not..."

The excitement in the camp suddenly died down.

Everyone present is an ink artist, and they usually rely on their crafts to make a living, so they naturally know what the drawings mean. Usually, when a craftsman takes an apprentice, he has to inspect the apprentice for several years. After the apprentice is almost done with the rough work, he will start teaching the apprentice to make some ordinary utensils. If an apprentice wants to learn something with a little bit of technical content, either the master craftsman really likes it, or the apprentice is talented and can steal the craftsmanship just by looking at it, or he or she can marry/marry the son/daughter of the craftsman and become a family. Give everything you have.

In order to better survive and continue within the Mohist organization, all previous scholars have encouraged Mohists to share with each other when it comes to this part of content, and not to hide their secrets. In a society dominated by literary minds and brave men, as the bottom class who are struggling to survive, it is even more necessary to exchange what they have!

But this treaty can only bind Mohists.

Shen Tang is the leader of a force and the master of a country. No one can force her to share what she is unwilling to share. If she annoys someone, she only needs to issue an order to expel the Mohists, and the group of Mohists can easily disappear under her rule.

Compared with survival, the excavator is not important.

The Mo Zhe who was closest to Bei Jiu swallowed his saliva.

Cautiously: "How about forgetting it?"

Others also whispered ideas.

"How about we wait until we make some contribution?"

The blueprint can be used as a reward, killing two birds with one stone.

"...We'll mention it later when Mr. Shen is in a good mood?"

For example, when Shen Jun wins a battle or celebrates his birthday?

"... Zhoukou better not mention it in person. You and Shen Jun have only met once or twice, and you may not be able to meet him even if you ask for a meeting in the past. Didn't you say before that you have a good friend who is a general? Why not coax him to go! People always save face. Bigger than you!" This is one of the more thoughtful among the people. A dead Taoist friend is not dead to a poor Taoist!

Everyone was talking.

To be honest, they really don't want to give up.

Who can resist the value of an excavator that can be used for transportation?

Bei Jiu was in a dilemma when an unfamiliar laughter came from outside the tent: "A piece of blueprint. If you like it, you can take it for yourself."

She raised her hand and opened the tent curtain.

Fifty-six Mohists, including Bei Jiu, were sitting or standing in the tent, and everyone turned to look at Shen Tang.

The air was quiet for a few breaths, then boiled like white water.

The place was noisy, and several people fell down in panic and got kicked by someone's feet. Shen Tang silently lowered the curtain and did not reopen it until the movement inside the tent subsided. They were very nice people and left a large space for her.

"I've met Mr. Shen."

People salute in various ways.

Shen Tang didn't mind this and sat at the main seat. Gu Chi and Kang Shi also took their seats with normal expressions: "Gentlemen, you don't need to be polite. I have been sleeping for many days. Do you feel uncomfortable when you wake up?"

The person who answered as the representative was not Bei Jiu, but a woman who looked to be in her thirties. The woman's skin color is tanned and her eyebrows are thick and full of traces of sun and wind. Her shoulders and arms are wider and slender than those of ordinary women. Her hands are rough and covered with thick calluses visible to the naked eye, but she speaks with a strong voice. Judging from the seating arrangement, he should be the most senior and prestigious among the crowd.

He spoke clearly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen, for your concern. Apart from being a little hungry, I don't feel any discomfort. The common people have never been so refreshed and alert as today."

The moment she woke up, the world felt strange to her.

The eye disease she suffered from in her early years was cured without treatment. She can easily see objects in the distance, even the details are clear. She can also hear clearly the whispers of people around her. Unlike in the past, she had to be repeated two or three times by others to understand. What did the other person say?

My whole body is filled with endless energy!

Shen Tang asked curiously: "Do you know the characters?"

The current literacy rate is very low.

Educational resources are controlled by a very small number of people. Except for a few people from lower-class backgrounds who can recognize a few characters, such as Chu Yao and Luan Xin, the vast majority of ordinary people cannot read a single big character, let alone lower-class female common people. The people in the camp are all Mohists, and most of them are women. You must know that even women from aristocratic families were enlightened by reading materials such as boudoir precepts.

Those who enlighten them are the matrons or female teachers.

Hire serious celebrities?

These resources are not enough to cultivate the boys in the clan, who will use them to raise daughters? Music, chess, calligraphy and painting only cultivate sentiments. If the boudoir's daughter can learn how to settle accounts, housekeeping, and manage interpersonal relationships, she is considered qualified. People like Ning Yan are special cases among special cases.

In terms of seniority, women are still Beijiu Mastershu.

She nodded: "I know you."

He seemed to be afraid of being looked down upon by Shen Tang, so he added.

"We all know how to read."

Seeing Shen Tang's surprise, she said with a bit of pride: "As long as you are a Mohist, you will go hand in hand with me, and you will never hide your secrets."

Regardless of men or women, as long as they are heirs of Mohists, they must teach each other everything they have, whether it is skills or knowledge. Many precision drawings circulated within the Mohists have extensive annotations, which are the experiences of generations of Mohists. If you don't know Chinese characters, you won't even be able to understand the drawings, let alone pass them on later.

Shen Tang asked a few more questions in a warm voice.

Only then did I realize that the ancestors of these Mohists were also wealthy.

Before the imperial court was occupied by scribes and warriors in large numbers, there were wealthy men from ordinary backgrounds who ate in officialdom, presided over the construction of several royal tombs, and invested most of their savings into the Mohist organization. Those generations of Mohists were very far-sighted and realized that the world would undergo great changes and that it would be more difficult for Mohists to survive and inherit. So they planned the use of their savings, established private schools, encouraged Mohists to exchange knowledge, and promoted that Mohists should use their abilities and knowledge. For the most important thing, don't stick to men and women. There was resistance at first.

After all, many skills are passed down from male to female.

But as the situation changed, all the disciples who could cultivate left the organization, and those who remained could only hang out at the bottom. Seeing the organization declining, they were forced to accept more and more women due to the situation. Although it is getting smaller, it is also becoming more united internally.

Relying on the foresight of the ancestors and the occasional support from one or two talented scholars and warriors, the difficulties continue to this day.

despite this--

Under the ravages of frequent wars and intensive natural disasters, life at the bottom has become increasingly difficult. Many branches of the Mohists have lost their inheritance, and those that have not stopped are still struggling to survive. A typical example is Bei Jiu, who is currently the only one left. Her teacher picked her up at her age, and she didn't even have a descendant.

In this regard, there is nothing within the Mohist organization to do.

It’s hard for everyone to survive, let alone anything else?

There are a few who are slightly richer and risk many risks to drag their families and families to areas where the situation is relatively stable. Those who are left behind are unable to go out. If Beijiu hadn't suddenly sent a message to shake people off, several of them might have starved to death.

I never expected it——

Another village has a bright future!

God can't bear for them to cut off their inheritance!

Everyone saw the hope of inheritance in Bei Jiu, and what was even more unexpected was that some of them would receive this favor. This hope is given by the person in front of you! The way they looked at Shen Tang was scorching with madness.

Shen Tang didn't seem to notice.

Still caring about their needs in a gentle voice.

"The drawings of the excavator, does Mr. Shen really want to part with you?"

In addition to food, all they want now is the excavator!

Shen Tang: "Didn't I agree just now? You can take it."

Nothing can make these painters more desperate than drawings that they have never seen before and record their ingenious craftsmanship. If Shen Tang could see their favorability values, each of them would explode! Seeing everyone's red-faced excitement, Shen Tang took the opportunity to throw out a bigger bait: "...To be honest with you, I have many similar drawings, more here."

She pointed to her head.

Bei Jiu, who had been silent all this time, raised his head to confirm.

Said: "What the lord said is true. The prayer book also said that he still has many drawings drawn by the lord himself. Unfortunately, my talent is limited. It took more than a month of energy and day and night to fully understand one of them. No, it can't be done either. It’s said that I have understood it thoroughly. Many parts are made by me. According to the master’s description, the real structure is hundreds or even thousands of times more complicated and exquisite than today’s!”

Hundreds or thousands of times? ? ?

When this word came out, everyone couldn't sit still.

Is the real excavator hundreds or thousands of times more sophisticated than the ones they've seen? Ah, what a divine thing that must be? Will they be able to see its true face in their lifetime? Everyone was brainstorming. Gu Chi lowered his head in discomfort and rubbed his temples with his fingers.

He really shouldn't have come here just for some melon rind.

These Mohists, if captured individually, would be noisier than the Lord.

The Lord was talking nonsense, but Gu Chi could barely understand it.

I can’t understand the voices of these Mohists!

Not just one, but fifty-six!

Gu Chi suppressed the urge to lift his ass and leave, and continued to listen to his master's deception: "Ahem, cough, cough, please be quiet."

Forcibly interrupting everyone's thoughts.

They looked at Shen Tang's mouth attentively.

Gu Chi let out a long sigh of relief.

"Shen is not talented. Although he has an ingenious idea, he has no ability. I deeply regret it. I unexpectedly learned that Zhoukou could realize it - do you know how I felt at that time? Great talent! Shocking talent! This person is my life A close friend!"

Bei Jiu's face turned red.

The lord's praise was too much.

While waving her hands, she suppressed a sentence: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it! My lord, in terms of strength, the uncle here is far better than the subordinate. The subordinate just got the upper hand! It's just a fluke! If it were anyone else, he would definitely Will do better!"

Very good, this is the pole Shen Tang wants.

She climbed up the pole like a monkey!

"Zhoukou, don't underestimate yourself. You are all great talents, but you are even more so! You are a great talent, but also a bole! Without the shining pearl of Zhoukou, how could I have discovered so many thousand-mile horses?" Shen Tang took a deep breath. , "confidence" with everyone, "To be honest, although there is no war at the moment, people are hanging upside down, and there are still hungry people everywhere as far as the eye can see. Every time I think about this, I can't sleep the whole night. I desperately want to kill him The things that are envisioned to benefit the people will actually be used for the people!”

“For example, the excavators from before.”

"This thing is not used for fighting and killing enemies. It is also called an excavator. You should be able to tell its true purpose from the name. Ordinary people don't even have a hoe in their homes, let alone reclaiming wasteland. If they have it, What? Or can I rent this thing? Think about it, what would that be like?"

Everyone held their breath and concentrated, thinking along Shen Tang's train of thought.

The Mo people here don’t have houses or fields, but that doesn’t mean they don’t understand farming. On the contrary, in order to make a living, when there is no work available, they will sell their physical strength to work for others in order to make a living. They have all tasted how bitter it is to open up wasteland.

That scene is truly remarkable.

Shen Tang didn't give them a moment to breathe and continued to lie.

Alas, the shoes Hongxing Erke ordered enthusiastically have arrived, and the brace I bought is still on the way. Didn’t it say that SF will deliver it...
