Chapter 522 The Mo Family's Calculation
late at night!
Inside a small house in Luoyang.
Liu Ji knocked on a door respectfully, and after getting permission from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.
He carefully closed the door and took a few steps forward.
"Master, the emperor has approved our plan, but we are required to put forward a specific plan and material usage list. The bottom line is that we cannot occupy normal production capacity." Liu Ji said carefully.
In recent years, Liu Ji has barely managed to get ahead.
But only compared to his senior brothers.
Being an ink artist is actually quite hard.
Being an apprentice to Wang Ji, there is no salary.
The same principle applies everywhere in the world, but the Wang family has a great business and is not short of money.
In addition, Wang Ji is not very young, so he often gives some pocket money to his apprentices.
Although it is not much, as a master, Wang Ji has done very well.
But even though it was a small amount of pocket money, Liu Ji handed it all over.
It is really because the life of the Mo family has been too hard these years. If the salary was more, they could keep it, but the pocket money is too small. Even if they all are handed over, it will not be enough for them to live in Luoyang.
Fortunately, Wang Ji is responsible for the food of Liu Ji and the others, so they don't have to worry about starving to death or anything.
As for why they turned it over, they had accepted the Mohist education and the Mohist grace, so they should turn it over.
The ideas of the Mohists have been deeply rooted in their bones. Although Wang Ji did better than the Mohists and moved their hearts more, it was only a little loose in their hearts.
They are still grateful to the Mohist family.
"Well, I will organize people to make this plan tomorrow!" The old man nodded calmly.
Everything was as expected, the only pity was that it took a little longer than they budgeted.
After thoroughly studying Wang Ji's examination questions back then, the Mohists worked hard on these people.
They planned to cultivate a group of geniuses so that they could shine in the imperial examinations and enter the Academy of Sciences like Wang Ji.
As for ability?
It doesn't exist. The people standing behind them are the Mohists.
The answers prepared by the Mohists were enough for them to enter the Academy of Sciences.
After that, the Mo family will concentrate their efforts on helping them create achievements, and then help them improve step by step.
When the status of this group of people reaches a certain height, it will be time to revive the Mohist family.
And when that time comes, it will take at least ten or twenty years, to say the least.
After such a long time, the people below have been sent to various positions.
At that time, the Mohist influence would gradually affect all walks of life.
Then, with machinery as the core, the imperial court could not do without them in this aspect, and then used this identity to gradually release their ideas and gradually influence the emperor.
Therefore, what the Mohists are least afraid of is Wang Buxu's current model.
Wang Ji didn't come up with any new projects, that's because he was just one person.
But Liu Ji and others are different. Behind them are the entire Mohist family, and behind each of them are hundreds of master-level people supporting them.
Even if they are working on two projects at the same time, they can still have fun.
"Is there any problem with the hydraulic forging machine?"
"There should be no problem. As long as the project is confirmed, we must leave one for testing." Liu Ji said.
"Well, that's fine. Now you guys have to be careful and don't let anything happen, lest years of hard work be wasted!"
"Yes, Master!" Liu Ji nodded quickly.
But at this moment, Liu Ji was still a little confused deep in his heart.
No one is hard-hearted, Wang Ji treats them well, without any precautions or harshness.
Although we are all of the same age, we look at it from the perspective of status.
Wang Ji treated them as his own sons.
As disciples, they should also treat Wang Ji as their father.
Although the Mohist family supported them, they supported not only a few of them, but also many more people.
They were the only ones who were lucky enough to be chosen by Wang Ji.
If Wang Ji had chosen someone else back then, I'm afraid they would still be studying silently and waiting for the opportunity.
"Master, isn't there something wrong with what we are doing?" Liu Ji asked hesitantly.
"What's wrong? Don't forget your identity!"
"Master, the water-powered forging machine was developed by the imperial court after a lot of effort. Moreover, no one can get in at all. The craftsmen inside are also strictly protected. We just quietly took away its technology.
I'm worried that something will happen if the court finds out..." Liu Ji reminded carefully.
"Something happened? Are we learning the technology of hydraulic forging machines for ourselves? Or not for the imperial court? It's been a few years since this hydraulic forging machine came out, right? Have you heard that they have improved it? Have you ever heard that they have made improvements?
Plan?"
"Isn't there nothing?"
"When we master this technology, we will invest a lot of manpower and material resources to research and improve it. When you guys hand it over, it will be us who provide the money, and the court who will get the benefits. What is his dissatisfaction?"
"Get down!"
The old man waved his hand, with a hint of disappointment on his face.
Didn't Liu Ji mean to accuse them of stealing the court's technology?
Don't you just think that the imperial court trusts them so much, but they want to steal the most precious thing from the imperial court?
You are such a stupid person. How can you say that something about a cultural person is stealing?
Although the Mohists could use this opportunity to send people to higher positions, the benefits to the court were also huge.
Moreover, in the future, the Mohist family will concentrate their efforts to help the imperial court.
how?
The Mo family has put in so much effort, shouldn't they get some benefits?
Compared to a few decades ago, the Mohist family is more restrained now. They just want an official position. If those who were helped by the Mohist family back then knew about the current conditions of the Mohist family, they might be very upset.
Of course, the Mo family has been coveting the hydraulic forging machine for a long time.
It's just that the imperial court was too strict. If Liu Ji and the others hadn't heard the words "hydraulic forging machine" from Wang Ji, the Mohists still wouldn't be able to figure out what it was.
However, now, the Mohists only knew that the imperial court used water as power to provide production.
The method is feasible, but some specific designs are still elusive.
Even if the masters of the Mohist family knew that water was used as the driving force, they still could not understand the principles of these things in a short time.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the decline of the Mohist family in the past few decades.
Those top masters are almost dead, and now there are only their disciples and grandsons. With the Mo family hidden, the strength of these people is far less than that of their masters and ancestors.
If it had been back then, I'm afraid it would have been discovered within a few years.
