Mohist Tang

After a long time, everyone at the Imperial College of Supreme Learning came to their senses. It turned out that what Mohist Family Son showed them was not the poem, but the unique chalk writing.

“What is this?” Kong Yingda blushed, and she probably had nothing to ask.

“This board is called a blackboard. This white thing is chalk, which can be written on the blackboard. I think the lectures of the Imperial College of Supreme Learning Court Academecian are very laborious, and they often have to repeat a lot of words. Every time, with this blackboard and chalk, it will greatly reduce the burden on the masters. Mo Dun said, holding a chalk and showing on the blackboard for himself, writing a few words, and holding a simple blackboard. Wipe it off.

There are even a lot of Court Academecian from Imperial College of Supreme Learning who came forward to practice in person, and they were full of praise. The blackboard and chalk can indeed greatly reduce the workload of the master.

Kong Yingda eyes shined, secretly nodded, this is indeed a good thing, but as the pride of Confucianism, how can he be willing to be soft.

“This is fine, but it’s far worse than Bending Plow!” Kong Yingda said stiffly.

Mo Dun looked at Kong Yingda who refused to bow his head amusedly, and said slightly smiled, “Then please take a closer look at this poem.”

Kong Yingda slightly smiled, Secretly proud, Mohist Family Son is still too young, and finally can’t help showing off his poems.

“It is indeed a rarely seen poem, which vividly expresses the hard work of Agricultural School of Thought and the difficulty of food. It persuades people to cherish food and not waste it. It is very educational. Believe in Minister of Agriculture, Im sure to like this poem very much here!” Kong Yingda analyzed this poem again in a long and eloquent commentary.

Li Shimin secretly nodded and feels relieved. Great Tang has always attached importance to farming and mulberry since the founding of the country. Now Mohist Family invents Bending Plow Seed Drill, the food will definitely increase in the coming year, and there is another very educated song. The meaningful poems of pity for agriculture will definitely make the farming mulberry more prosperous.

Kong Yingda was secretly proud, but after scanning Mohist Family Son’s expression, she found Mo Dun with a hint of sarcasm, and couldn’t help but become puzzled, and looked towards this poem quickly and carefully.

“It’s okay! That’s what it really means!” Kong Yingda was puzzled, but a strange feeling rose in the mind, and intuition told him that this poem must be tricky.

Suddenly his gaze suddenly stopped, staring at the last point of the verse, as if was struck by lightning.

Others also discovered Kong Yingdas abnormalities, and were about to inquire, but saw Kong Yingda suddenly stepped forward almost on the blackboard, staring at the back of every verse, what Mohist Family Son left behind Two small tadpole-like symbols, and two small circles.

“What is this?” Kong Yingda tremblingly asked.

“Punctuation!” Mo Dun replied.

“What’s the use?” Kong Yingda intuitively felt that this thing must be of great use,

Mo Dun slightly smiled, did not answer, stepped forward and wrote a line on the blackboard.

“I will not stay in the guest on rainy days.” Li Shimin read it out softly.

“Mo youngster, what do you mean, you want to drive us away!” Cheng Yaojin licked his mouth, grinning threateningly.

“Uncle Cheng joked, the youngster is eager to wait for you to come, why would he drive you away?” Mo Dun quickly explained, “Let me tell you a little story here.”

“Story, do I like it?” Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said.

Li Shimin slightly smiled, but he remembered the catfish effect story told by Mo Dun outside the south city gate, which was a sensation Ch_ng’n.

“According to Mozi’s close records, once, Mozi visited a miser’s house, but suddenly it rained heavily. The miserly host did not want Mozi to stay overnight, so he wrote on a bamboo slip: “It rains , Tian keeps guests, Tian keeps me not. “After Mozi saw the bamboo slips, he laughed heartily and drew a few strokes on the bamboo slips, and he gladly found a room to live in. When the host saw the bamboo slips, although he was unwilling, he had to pinch his nose to deny it.” Mo Dun moved out the almighty Mozi closely.

“Why is this?” Qin Qiong curiously asked, according to the host’s stingy character, impossible just pinched his nose to admit it.

Mo Dun reflexively added a few punctuation marks on the blackboard, but the meaning of the whole sentence changed Heaven and Earth turning upside down.

“It’s raining, stay a guest, don’t you keep me? Stay!” Qin Qiong looked at these words and couldn’t help laughing heartily.

A sentence is separated by punctuation marks, and there are two completely different meanings, no wonder the stingy host pinched his nose to recognize it.

Li Shimin also laughed at haha. These two sentences had completely opposite meanings. The bamboo slips left by the owner were used by Mozi to resolve the embarrassment of having nowhere to shelter on rainy days.

“From my point of view, this sentence can still be read like that, if it rains to keep guests, the sky keeps me? Don’t keep it!” Li Shimin’s childlike solitaire said.

Cheng Yaojin impatient went on to say: “If it rains to keep guests, wont the sky keep me? Stay!”

The two of you say something to me. Played from the inside out.

Kong Yingda was coldly snorted, and said: “It’s just a joke, what’s the meaning.”

“Oh! Master, please read this sentence!” Mo Dun turned back on the blackboard again Write a sentence on.

“The people can make it impossible to know.”

“This sentence comes from the eighth chapter of Analects of Confucius, the Taber chapter, which means to let the people follow our guidelines You don’t need to let them know why to follow the road.” Liu Yinian said triumphantly, showing off his knowledge, trying to attract Li Shimin’s attention.

Mo Dun shook his head and said: “Saint Confucius advocates education for everyone, irrespective of background. There are three thousand disciplines and seventy two sages. Mozi also respected him back then. Mo Dun did not believe that Saint Confucius would advocate. Policy to fool the people!”

Policy to fool the people!

As soon as Mo Duns words came out, Li Shimin and Kong Yingda couldnt help but dazzled. Imperial Capital of all dynasties followed The theory of making it so that it cannot be known can be used to manage the world. Now it seems that the term foolish policy is extremely appropriate.

Mo Dun added two punctuation on the blackboard, and the whole sentence immediately became another meaning.

“The people can be made by them, and they are not, and they can be known. For the common people, those who can be free can make them free, and those who are not can be known. Teach students in accordance with their aptitude, which exactly reflects the moralized politics of Confucianism. , Obey the people and respond to the sky, and open up the mind of the people. Mo Dun said.

Mo Dun’s words made Kong Yingda sweat. He found that they might have misunderstood the meaning of Saint Confucius. What’s more terrifying is that they used such a wrong policy to govern the country.

Before this, he must be convinced that the people can do it without any doubt. If anyone doubts Saint Confucius, he will definitely fight this old life against him.

But now let him look at this sentence again, he found that he still has three ways to interpret it.

“The people can make it, let it; you can’t make it, know it.”

“The people can make it, let it make it, let it know.”

Can it be done? No, it can be known.”

Li Shimin’s face is gloomy, but he has always valued Saint Confucius, and even reused Kong Yingda as the Imperial College of Supreme Learning to train talents for Great Tang, but he found It is very likely that he used the wrong theory to govern the country for nearly ten years.

“Kong Minister, I have ordered you to use punctuation marks to segment Confucian classics, and strive to be accurate.” Li Shimin ordered with a black face.

“This small official, please!”

Kong Yingda bowed to take the order, turned and left.

When I was about to walk to the door, I suddenly stopped and bowed to salute the Mozi statue enshrined in the champion building.

“Mozi is really a man of great wisdom!” Kong Yingda sighed long before leaving in a hurry.
