As for what to say about learning, in fact, Wang Buhung’s attitude has been released a long time ago.

He did not want any one theory to dominate the entire era on its own.

What he hopes to see is the integration of hundreds of schools of thought, so as to learn from each other's strengths and offset their weaknesses.

When Confucianism became mainstream in history, what was its impact?

Although there are positive aspects, there are more disadvantages.

For example, if your family is the only restaurant on the entire planet, and the food is better than the ones at home, what would you do?

Is it continuous research on technology?

Or should we lower our research on technology to a higher level and focus more on how to make more money and make ourselves more respectable?

An obvious problem.

The later Confucianism was basically programmed like this. After all the competitors had withdrawn from the stage, it was time for them to cut the leeks.

Therefore, for Wang Buxu, he would not fully adopt either Confucianism or Mohism.

Only part of it is useful.

Just like the Mohist thought, of course there are benefits. Many lost things have been recovered in the hands of the Mohists.

Moreover, after the Mo family found it, it was not lost again, but has been passed down like this.

This is naturally a good thing, but it is not important to Wang Buxing because the imperial court is also doing this.

However, the Mohists added some restrictive overlord clauses on this basis.

For example, after becoming a Mohist, you can learn knowledge from the Mohist library, which is free.

But after you become an official, you must focus on Mohist ideas, and part of your salary must be handed over to Mohism.

They have a leader and everything looks like a small court.

To put it another way, if the world is at peace, what advantage does the Mohist have?

The biggest advantage of the Mohist family is its ability to display in wars and its various awesome military facilities.

But the problem came again. He would definitely not help Qin. After Prince Dan dragged the Mo family into trouble, the Mo family became enemies with Qin.

So, when the Mohists helped the six countries resist Qin, did they try their best?

not at all!

The so-called help is conditional. There is no free lunch in the world.

After successfully helping you resist, you have to give him an official position and pay him.

Do you really think everyone is a volunteer?

There are so many mouths in the Mo family waiting for food. If they don't make money, what will others eat?

Therefore, from the perspective of interests, peace in the world is of no benefit to the Mohists.

Only when the world is in chaos can the interests of the Mohist family be maximized.

Only then will the Mohists have more stages to display, and only then will Mohist's equipment be able to sell more and at higher prices.

It was precisely because of the Unification War that the Mohists helped the six countries resist Qin and regarded Qin as a tiger or a wolf.

Therefore, after Qin unified the six kingdoms, Qin Shihuang severely suppressed the Mohist family.

Although the Mo family has already begun to decline over the years, there are still a few who are still secretly holding on.

The so-called contention of a hundred schools of thought actually disappeared after Qin unified the six kingdoms.

"They give people the impression that they are very stubborn. Sometimes they would rather break their heads than talk about giving up their ideas. I just don't know if they have changed after so many years!" Zhang Liang shook his head slightly.

In his mind, he felt that the Mohist family was not very likely to change.

Because at the most critical moment, they didn't choose to change.

They would rather hide in the dark and not see the light of day for decades than change themselves.

So now, will they change?

Obviously not.

"What? I can't lift the knife anymore? Or is my knife not as sharp as the First Emperor's knife?" Wang Buxu said with a slight smile.

"Your Majesty, this requires a good reason!" Zhang Liang said expressionlessly.

It was precisely because he had seen Mo Zhe's stubbornness that he gave such an answer.

Killing can never be finished.

Sometimes it's just like this. The harder you kill, the stronger their vitality becomes.

"I can not only kill people with hard knives, but also with soft knives!" Wang Buxu chuckled.

Then he said: "The engineering departments of Junxue and Luoyang Academy, given time, when they can operate stably, it will be time for the Mohist family to completely withdraw from the stage."

"If they are smart and put down some unrealistic illusions now, they might be able to leave a place for themselves in history."

"If they don't understand current affairs, let them follow yesterday into the wheel of history!"

What Wang Buxu valued was the Mohist's mechanical manufacturing capabilities, not their so-called ideas.

The so-called universal love means that the world is one family and everyone should love each other.

It sounds wonderful, but in reality, is this possible?

When you face a stranger, would you treat them the same as you would a relative?

In this regard, Confucianism puts forward the theory of relative kinship, which means father and brother are kind, children are filial, elders and friends are respected, etc.

Non-offensive means opposing all forms of aggressive wars, and they classify these wars as unjust wars.

He believes that there is no winner in spending huge amounts of money and manpower to launch a war.

Unless someone knocks on your door and slaps you hard in the face, and you are fighting back, this is called a just war.

How about it? Does this set look familiar?

Yes, this is what Confucianism later advocated, and it has continued into later generations.

But Confucianism is smarter than Mohism, that is, Confucianism will change with the changes of the times. It will be hard when it should be hard and soft when it should be soft. It will never be the other way around.

Another example is to promote the virtuous and cancel the privileges of scholar-bureaucrats. Even if the people are humble, they cannot be deprived of it.

Shangtong is the idea of ​​​​unification.

Do you feel conflicted again?

While you, the Mohists, are shouting for unification, you are also trying your best to prevent the unification of Qin. I want to ask the bottom line, is it because Qin and you are rivals, and you don't want him to be the one to unify?

It can be seen as a typical I can, you can't!

Including the following series of thoughts, many of them are familiar to many people.

Yes, this is a Confucian classic.

In the course of thousands of years of evolution, Confucianism has absorbed the essence of hundreds of schools of thought and turned them into its own. Only in this way can one family be dominant for thousands of years and endure for a long time.

Wang Buqiang would adopt these ideas, but he would never let the so-called school of thought propose them, but he would propose them himself.

It's not because I don't like others.

But there are some people who do not wish you well at all in their hearts.

As the saying goes, all the crows in the world are as black as black. What seems good to you may not always be good.
