When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 82 The tripartite alliance between Mohism, Confucianism and Luowang! (Please follow up!)

It has to be said that although the leaders of the Mo family have some special attachments to "Ming" ghosts, they are generally reliable.

Just like the papermaking technology provided by Zhang Ji to the Mohists, these guys made many improvements just after getting started, such as papermaking materials.

Originally, Zhang Ji used bark, broken fishing nets, and inferior silk that could not be used to make clothes. These were extremely cheap things that no one wanted, but a Mohist leader thought of reeds and bamboo.

After all, the bark is obtained from the tree. Although it is possible to obtain the bark cut off by many carpenters at a very low price through the Mohist channel, the quantity is limited after all.If you still want to get the bark, you need to get it from the tree.But most trees don't live long after losing varying amounts of bark, which means getting bark directly from a live tree can cost as much as buying a live tree.

At this time, Qin Zhao, the commander of the Mohist state of Qin who happened to be returning to the Mohist General Academy to report on his work, proposed that reeds and bamboos could be used instead of bark.

Qin Zhao and Han Shen have similar backgrounds, and they are also distant branches of the Qin royal family, so that their surnames were changed to Qin.

In history, many descendants of the state of Qin changed the clan of Zhao to other clans. For example, Yingji’s fiefdom Xili, later descendants changed their clan to Xili, and descendants of Yinghua also changed their clan to Hua, and they called themselves Xianyang Huashi... …and the list goes on and on.

In addition to his status as the leader of the Mo family Qin State, Qin Zhao is also a high-ranking officer of Qin Mo. Naturally, he doesn't mind bringing more benefits to Qin Mo and the Qin State that Qin Mo works for without affecting the promotion of papermaking and printing.

But Zhang Ji felt that this matter was not very realistic, because whether it was reeds or bamboo forests, they were mainly distributed in the south, even Bashu, Jingchu, and Wuyue regions. Today's south does not have a developed economy and convenient transportation like later generations. .

Today's south is generally sparsely populated, and the transportation is very inconvenient. Many areas are still uninhabited mountainous areas. Although the cost of reeds and bamboo is low, the transportation cost is too high. It is better to use bark.

However, Zhang Ji thought about one thing wrong.

In the past few years, he mainly traveled in the three Jin areas. In his impression, the north has less dense water systems than the south, so there are not many bamboo forests and reeds. In addition, he subconsciously brought into the later generations' impressions of the north and south geography, so there was a mistake. judgment.

The north during this period, especially the old Qin native area where the state of Qin is located, is not the arid area of ​​later generations, the temperature is relatively higher than later generations, and there is no large-scale man-made destruction, otherwise the Guanzhong area that has not yet completed the Zhengguo Canal will not be able to become The first place in history to be called the "Land of Abundance".

It is not difficult to find reeds near the dense water system, and the bamboo forest is even more numerous.

The Jing River, Wei River, and Luo River Basin in Guanzhong, especially the "Hudu Bamboo Forest" on the south bank of the Wei River, is the area with the most dense bamboo forests in the north.In addition to the Guanzhong area, there are also a large number of bamboo forests at the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains. The bamboo forests in "Qi'ao" in the Qishui River Basin mentioned in the Book of Songs are also famous all over the world.

The change of paper raw materials and the reduction of cost were just the beginning, and then the leaders of the Mohists proposed methods to increase the production speed of paper. For example, Mrs. Xu, who is a swordsmith, proposed an improved heating method to increase the flame temperature and shorten the cooking time. means of time etc.

It would have taken half a month to produce a batch of paper, but under the joint research of this group of Mohist leaders, it was shortened to seven days in one morning.

The cost of paper sold to the common people has been reduced by [-]%, the production capacity of paper sold to various families has been increased by [-]%, and the paper sold to nobles has received a better bleaching method.

And this is just an improvement in the technology of papermaking. The guarantee and promotion ability of the Mohist craft level has greatly improved the convenience of paper promotion.

No one in the world doubts the technical level of the Mohists, who are extremely stubborn and unforgiving in industry. Their participation in papermaking is a guarantee of the practicality of the paper. Many people will choose it just because of the reputation of the Mohists. Use paper.

Secondly, the Six Fingers Heixia used his connections and his status as a giant to connect with the two factions of Confucianism, the Confucianism and the Mengism, and then he personally visited Xunzi in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, the land of Qilu, in a Suzaku.

The promotion of paper must be inseparable from Confucianism, which is also known as the two major schools of thought in the world together with Mohism, and one of the propositions of Confucianism is "education".

But pulling Confucianism into this chariot of promoting papermaking and printing is not as simple as Zhang Ji thought at first.

Confucianism seemed huge, but like Mohism, it was divided.

Confucius established Confucianism, there were 72 sages of the ten philosophers of Confucianism, and 72 "rebels" were also produced.

Confucianism is divided into schools far more than the 72 schools at the beginning, and each school’s thoughts are different from the “orthodox” Confucianism represented by Confucius, and they often attack each other and accuse other Confucian schools of thought. Jokingly known as the Confucian 72nd Route Rebel.

However, although Confucianism was divided, the best among them were the descendants of Confucius who was revered as the sage of Confucius, the descendants of Mencius who was revered as the sub-sage, and Xunzi who had the greatest influence in Confucianism at that time.

Especially the latter.

Although Xunzi was defeated in the dispute of nature, Xunzi's status and influence are still the most Confucian. No one dares to underestimate this person who is most qualified to be called a great Confucian after Confucius and Mencius.

With Kong, Meng, and Xunzi, the great Confucianists of the time, as the leaders, it is possible to connect the Confucian "72 road rebels" together, and jointly promote papermaking and printing techniques, and promote enlightenment.

Then, under the auspices of Liuzhi Heixia and Xunzi, papermaking and printing were jointly supported and promoted by the two great schools of thought in the world.

Of course, the support provided by the two great scholars of the world is not without cost.

Mohism and Confucianism reached an agreement on the exchange of interests with Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji provided papermaking and printing techniques. Mohism recruited excellent craftsmen to make paper and printing for Zhang Ji. Mohism would undertake all the materials and manpower, and Confucianism would carry out promotion and publicity. , the emerald tiger's caravan recommended by Zhang Ji is responsible for selling paper and books, and Luo Wang is responsible for protecting the emerald tiger's caravan and shops selling paper and books.

[-]% of Jade Tiger's sales of paper and books goes to Mohism, [-]% goes to Zhangji, [-]% goes to Luowang, [-]% goes to Jade Tiger, and the last [-]% goes to Confucianism.

Of course, a "lowly" merchant like Jade Tiger is naturally not entitled to [-]% of the profits.He can get [-]% because Mohism, Confucianism, and Luo Wang saw the emerald tiger for Zhang Ji's sake.As for the other half, it was Zhang Ji who shared half of his income with the Emerald Tiger.

Anyway, there is no need to distinguish between Emerald Tiger's money and his money.

He can withdraw it from Emerald Tiger anytime he wants.

However, he is different from Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye only knew how to ask the Jade Tiger blindly, but Zhang Jiji kept giving the Jade Tiger the opportunity to earn more money, as well as respect and status while asking for it.

In addition, the Confucianist's appearance fee must be more than half of the profit, but there is a prerequisite for them to be willing to give up so much profit.

The premise that Confucianism only needs [-]% of the profit is that Mohism must provide Confucianism with a certain amount of free paper every year, including various types of paper, and print Confucian classics for Confucianism at cost price.

This exchange of benefits can be described as a joy for the host and the host. The Mohists and Luo Wang put aside their long-term struggle for the time being; the Confucians and Mohists no longer attacked each other; , Luowang no longer restrained the development of Confucianism in Qin territory.

A few days after the tripartite agreement was reached, the people of the world realized in horror that Mohism, Confucianism and Luowang had united!
