Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

"Is this a threat?"

"This must be a threat, right?"

Seeing the gentle smile hanging on the corner of Mo Jun's mouth, Fu Nian's heart suddenly sank.

If you answer well, you can get a copy of the book printed.

If the answer is not good, does it mean that the other party will print less Confucian books for them in the future?

On the one hand is the reputation of the Confucian sages and ancestors.

On the one hand is the current development prospect of Confucianism.

At this moment, the two were placed in front of Fu Nian at the same time, instantly making Fu Nian fall into an extremely tangled dilemma.

Han Fei looked at Fu Nian's round face that was flushed from suppressing pain, and then at Mo Jun with a faint smile on his face, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

This guy... is so despicable.

It took a while.

Only then did Fu Nian finally speak with difficulty: "Fu Nian still thinks..."

"Ten thousand volumes."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Jun dropped three words lightly.

Fu Nian's expression suddenly stiffened, but then he gritted his teeth and said, "This matter involves the reputation of my Confucian ancestor, Fu Nian dare not..."

"Twenty thousand volumes."

Fu Nian's expression froze again, and this time, his hesitation time was obviously several seconds longer than last time, and he didn't even seem to have enough confidence to speak later.

"Confucianism······"

"Thirty thousand copies, this is my bottom line. If Mr. Fu Nian is not willing to agree, then I will have to give these printed copies to Mr. Meng."

As soon as this statement came out.

Before Fu Nian opened his mouth to say anything, Xunzi stood up immediately, smiled and cupped his hands towards Lord Mo and said: "I think what Lord Shengping just said is right. My Confucian ancestor is a top master. Now Why should I not admit it?"

Han Fei: "???"

Fu Nian: "!!!"

Han Fei's pupils dilated slightly and he looked at Xunzi in disbelief, as if he thought of himself as a teacher again.

Fu Nian looked at Xunzi in astonishment, obviously not expecting his uncle to react like this.

Fu Nian pointed to Xunzi with his eyes, as if to say: 'Isn't this bad? Uncle Master. No matter what the other party says, it has damaged the reputation of the sages and ancestors! ’

Xunzi glanced at him lightly and returned the look: "Pedant, do you think you can so easily damage the reputation of the sages and ancestors with just one word from the other party?" ’

Fu Nian: ‘That’s not the case, but isn’t this a bit disrespectful to the sages and ancestors? ’

Xunzi: ‘Shit~~This is called doing one’s duty. You, a prodigal who doesn't know how much money is needed, can print 30,000 copies for free with just one sentence, but you actually want to give it away to someone else. If the sages and ancestors found out, they would lift the coffin board and give you a slap in the face. ’

Seeing what Fu Nian, a prodigal, had just done, Xunzi felt angry.

I don’t know what has happened over the years. Not only Fu Nian, but also many students received by [Little Saint Xian Manor] feel like they are bound by ‘etiquette’ and ‘rules’.

The reason why Confucianism uses 'propriety' and 'rules' to restrain is to use these to restrain the desires and evil thoughts in people's hearts, so that people can change themselves and become better.

But in fact, many disciples in [Little Sage Village] now seem to learn etiquette for the sake of etiquette, and learn rules for the sake of 'rules'.

The same goes for Fu Nian, the senior brother.

Just like before.

Not to mention that just one sentence cannot have much impact on the reputation of the founder of Confucianism.

The key point is that Mo Jun did what he did just now to teach Fu Su, and there is no way the conversation here could be spread.

I promise Mr. Mo, I won't lose anything, and I can even get a big benefit for free.

on the contrary.

If you refuse Mr. Mo, not only will you not get any benefits, you may even offend others for nothing.

This was an easy decision to make, but Fu Nian not only hesitated for so long, but even almost made the wrong choice in the end.

Reading makes you stupid, right?

"Hahaha~ Mr. Xun is worthy of being the leader of Confucianism. He is indeed knowledgeable and broad-minded!" After hearing what Xunzi said, Mr. Mo immediately laughed and said.

"No, I have learned a lot from Shengping-kun!"

The two adults, who are well versed in human relations, greeted each other politely. When dinner time came, Mr. Mo invited Xunzi, Fu Nian, and Han Fei to the dining hall.

After the three people left, Mr. Mo lowered his head and looked at Fusu and asked, "Does the eldest son still understand now?"

Fusu looked at the transaction between Mo Jun and Xunzi just now and felt dumbfounded. He had gained a lot of insights.

"Student, I seem to understand a little bit."

Fusu said.

Mo Jun nodded and said: "In that case, today's teaching will stop here first, and then let's go have a meal!"

······

Not surprisingly.

The meals at Mo Mansion also opened Xunzi's horizons.

Not only the taste, but also the variety is more important. It is still early spring, although there are already some seasonal vegetables similar to 'spring bamboo shoots' appearing in the outside world.

But generally speaking, most of the fruits and vegetables that can be seen on the market today are far from reaching maturity.

However, in Mo Mansion, there is nothing you can't imagine, but nothing you can't eat.

After a meal, I felt full.

Afterwards, Mr. Mo followed the usual practice and led Xunzi, a new guest of the Mo Mansion, to a 'one-stop tour'.

have to say.

The old man's mentality is quite good. When he came to [Mo Mansion] for the first time, basically everyone, including Han Fei and Fu Nian, was pulled by Mr. Mo and vaguely completed a set of procedures.

Young people seem extremely uncomfortable with these new things.

However, Xunzi, an old man, only came into contact with him for the first time and he had already learned to enjoy it.

Especially when I was being pinched by a technician, I actually learned the famous saying without any guidance:

"Press harder, I'm tired."

······

Wait until the next day.

Lord Mo then began to organize manpower to conduct assessments for the Confucian disciples who came for this trip.

The assessment is not difficult.

Because Mo Jun has a great need for teachers this time, especially in basic education.

If it weren't for the purpose of balancing the proportion of the numbers of the coming sects, it wouldn't be a big problem for Lord Mo to eat all the Confucian disciples Fu Nian brought this time.

After the assessment is over.

In the end, Mo Jun obtained 70 junior Confucian teachers, 13 intermediate Confucian teachers, 6 senior Confucian teachers, and 1 nominal doctorate.

That's right.

The last doctor was Xunzi.

When Mo Jun was taking a bath in the hot spring last night, he had already sent an invitation to Xunzi and gave Xunzi a general overview of the upcoming academy.

Although Xunzi said that this trip was also for this academy, if the idea mentioned by Mo Jun last night had not attracted him, there would be no one in this world who could influence people like Xunzi to make decisions.

Of course.

The ‘name’ mentioned by Mr. Mo is also one of the reasons.

Speaking of which, there is nothing that can be done about it. The threshold set by Mr. Mo is relatively loose for junior, middle and senior teachers, but the threshold for 'doctorate' teachers is extremely strict.

Basically in today's world, most people who reach this threshold are already leaders of a faction.

It is naturally impossible for such a person to join other forces casually, so Mr. Mo had no choice but to use the "in name" theory of later generations.

This way.

Mo Jun needs to pay Confucianism a total of 1.49+30,000 books for printing.

What Mr. Mo only gave was the qualification for printing, and the money for purchasing paper and publishing the book was still paid by Confucianism. Of course, these are just minor problems. After all, Mr. Mo’s asking price is not high, and most of the major sects in the world are basically the same. Rich people.

For Confucianism, the real problem is that the printed number of 1.52 million copies is simply not enough.

Over a million books may seem like a lot.

However, Confucianism has a long history, and countless classics have been accumulated over the years. Even if only a part of them is selected and printed, the amount allocated to each book is estimated to be less than 30,000 copies.

Put it before.

This number is indeed very high.

But in the face of the storm that is about to hit the world's 'literary world', the printing of just over one million copies is not safe at all.

In order to continue to get more printing qualifications.

Fu Nian could only ask those eliminated Confucian disciples to return to [Little Sage Village], and then bring a new group of Confucian disciples over.

at the same time.

Not long after the Confucian examination ended, hundreds of Mohist disciples brought back by the Six-fingered Black Man successfully arrived in Hanzhong.

After that, it was the same test, but the test questions were changed to ones suitable for the Mohist family.

After the assessment is over.

The Mohists successfully retained 67 people in exchange for a total of 1.02 million copies printed.

And as the assessments of these two schools ended, more and more people from various schools of thought gradually began to gather in Hanzhong from all over the country...
