Chapter 49 Just scratching the surface

While sipping the tea in the cup, Mo Ran's mind had already drifted far away.

Being able to recognize oneself based on the smallest details shows that this prince-in-law must be a person with a delicate mind.

If he is a reckless man who only knows how to kill, then just give up.

Now it seems...

Mo Ran was a little worried. If the Mo family attached itself to Da Qin, the consequences would be unpredictable.

In the silence, he put down the tea cup in his hand and looked directly at Liu Bai.

"Just now, my consort said that the curved shaft plows made by our Mohist family are easy to break because of improper materials. As far as I know, the plows and plowshares used by Da Qin today are all made of bronze or iron. I wonder what else is better than these two?

"

People in the Qin Dynasty generally used long straight shaft plows to cultivate land, and the curved shaft plow was improved on its basis.

It doesn't seem like much has changed, but the effect is completely different.

It is light and compact to use, which greatly improves labor productivity and the quality of farmland.

In the farming era, Quyuanli could be said to be at its peak.

But this is precisely where the problem lies.

"The biggest feature of my curved shaft plow is that it is light and can be turned at will according to the user's wishes, so the requirements for the plowshare are higher."

"This is not a problem between iron and bronze, but rather poor iron smelting technology. The iron smelted today will break if it is strengthened even slightly.

"As for bronze, not only is it expensive and the common people cannot afford it, but its hardness is not as good as iron. If the strength is slightly greater, the plowshare will bend. This is why most plows in Da Qin are made of iron."

Iron smelting has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period, but its development was extremely slow.

With the iron smelting technology of the Qin State today, all the iron produced is pig iron. Although it has hardness, it is very easy to break.

The most skilled is the smelting of bronze, which has excellent toughness, so the weapons used by the army are still made of bronze.

Mo Ran frowned slightly, Liu Bai's words completely overturned his impression of him.

This man is not only bold and careful, but his understanding of these things is far beyond his imagination.

If you think about it carefully, what he said does make some sense.

But iron cannot be used, and bronze cannot be used, so what should be used?

"So, the prince-in-law already knows the disadvantages of this thing, and also understands that it is impossible for our Mohist family to spread to the world through this thing, so why did you send the picture to Huan'er again?"

If this person only has this kind of trick, then the Moh family will never surrender.

A person who knows that he cannot do something but uses it to deceive the Mo family is a person who cannot be dealt with!

"Haha, since I can tell the advantages and disadvantages of iron, I can naturally find a way to change its shortcomings and make it stronger than bronze."

Mo Ran nodded.

If he could really change, then this behavior would make sense.

"How to change?"

"I have new iron smelting technology here, but..."

Now that the Mo family has not surrendered, how could he be so stupid as to reveal his iron smelting technology?

Although they are not afraid of the Mohists knowing about it, the Qin State is now surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Once the art of iron smelting is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.

Mo Ran saw him staring at her closely but keeping silent, and instantly understood what he meant.

Now it is not clear whether the two parties are enemies or friends, so how can anyone tell you?

However, Mo Ran was impressed by his ability to improve iron smelting technology.

"Huan'er once said that Young Master is willing to point out a bright road for our Mohist family. I wonder if you can elaborate?"

Fusu refilled the tea for several people and sat quietly aside, listening attentively.

He was really curious about how this brother-in-law would conquer the stubborn old man Juzi.

"In your eyes, Mohist theory may be just a tool to become famous in the world, but in my eyes, its value ranks first among hundreds of schools! It is even unique in the entire world."

Liu Bai's words were not compliments, but the truth in his heart.

The world in this sentence does not only refer to Da Qin, but to the entire world!

In both past and present lives, Mozi was a well-deserved physicist and the first in the world.

He has made great contributions to many academic disciplines.

In his eyes, the Mohists were a group of scientific researchers who had mastered theory and technology.

In terms of talent, they are the best in the world.

Coupled with his guidance, the development prospects of the Mohist family are bound to be bright.

As a powerful son of the Mohist family, when Liu Bai said this, he felt more favorable towards him in his heart.

However, flattery cannot make the Mohist family famous.

Therefore, Mo Ran remained silent and quietly waited for his next words.

"I already have plans for the future development of the Mo family."

"The eldest son can support you and open schools in the counties and counties of Daqin to spread the Mohist craftsmanship.

"This technique can also be developed in different categories in the future, such as military industry, agricultural tools, etc. Anyone who has made outstanding contributions, I believe the eldest son will not be stingy with a small official title!"

Fusu on the side was very excited when he heard this. My brother-in-law has a big appetite!

Seeing his look, he nodded repeatedly, indicating that I would give whatever my brother-in-law said!

Mo Huan glanced at his grandfather and then lowered his head.

Although her grandfather looked calm, she knew that he was angry.

Mo Ran was indeed angry.

If we follow what Liu Bai said, wouldn't the Mo family become a group of craftsmen in the future?

To put it nicely, what about military workers and farmers? After all, aren’t they just a group of workers?

This is really not the result they want...

"As you said, the Mohists will completely abandon their doctrine and become purely craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty?"

Liu Bai's expression remained unchanged and she looked at him quietly.

Why do people like the Mo family always get into trouble?

But this may not be their fault. The current environment is such that hundreds of schools of thought have spread their own ideas.

It is normal for them to give up suddenly and not be able to accept it for a while.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Bai smiled slightly.

"I understand, Juzi looks down on his own craftsmanship."

"Isn't this reasonable? Why did the young master say such heart-breaking words? Our Mohist family has been established in the art of craftsmanship since the ancestor Mo Zhai, how can we look down on him?"

Mo Ran, who had always been calm, finally had a big mood swing at this moment.

If this is true, wouldn't he become a person who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors?

"Don't be anxious, Juzi. In this case, why is the Mohist unwilling to give up his theory and turn to study the foundation of Mohism? Perhaps it is because Juzi feels that the Mohist's craftsmanship has reached its peak and no one in the world can surpass it, so

Change to the way of the emperor?"

Mo Ran's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly.

With this sentence, Liu Bai really hit the point.

In their view, the Mohist craftsmanship is truly unparalleled.

But sadly, despite this, the Mohist family is still declining more and more.

Not only will there be no scenery for others, but even survival will become a problem.

After the unification of Qin, another Legalist school emerged, which became prominent in the world just based on their theories.

It's so easy, why aren't they jealous?

But Liu Bai's words sounded a bit uncomfortable. He wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.

Liu Bai didn't expect him to answer, so he just talked to himself.

"Can you tell me about the giant? There is a crossbow in this world that can kill someone's head from a hundred miles away. The name of this crossbow is Qiang."

"There is also an iron bird that can carry people soaring into the sky, reaching places thousands of miles away in an hour. Its name is an airplane.

"There is a kind of ship that can carry people into the deep sea and swim in it. Its name is a submarine...

"All of these are made by craftsmen. What you think you have reached the peak of is just scratching the surface!"

The sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the hall, and the other three people all had their faces wide open with disbelief on their faces.
