The right answer made Xiaosheng think about it for a long time and praised: "You always have deep meaning when doing things, which I can't do."

Zaime Qisui took the bamboo slips with the names of several people written on it and said, "Of course you are not as good as him, but not as good as me. When Shi asked me to write down the names of those people, I guessed it. Sure enough, Shi was right. To be honest, you must first know what the meaning of action is, and then you can know whether what you did is in line with the great meaning."

"For example, this matter is all about mutual benefit, and it is also for the benefit of the world. It has no meaning to fall into our Mohist family, and it can also broaden the hearts of everyone."

"Just knowing that I want to go to Chu, I may not have to go south first. Maybe I want to go west so as to get around the turbulent places of the Huai River and go south... Only by knowing the purpose can I know whether what I do is beneficial to the world or harm to the world."

Xiaosheng rarely did not refute Zaime Qisui's words, and he nodded in agreement, which caught Zaime Qisui off guard and almost put the bamboo slips in his hand on the ground.

When he saw that he was talking again, he hurriedly said, "First follow me to see the giant and repay this matter. Qisui, you should take the lead and organize the bamboo slips first, and Xiaosheng and I will go directly to the husband."

…………

More than ten days later, Mozhe was in the workshop in Shangqiu, and the heat was on the sky.

The workshops are in the city, with lots of empty spaces in the city, and even many vegetable fields and farmlands. However, the land in the city was already extremely expensive at this time. The ability to have such a place in the city shows that the Mohist family is deeply rooted in the Song Dynasty.

When Su Qin became famous in later generations, when his sister-in-law bowed to him, he once sighed: If I had two hectares of land on the edge of the city, how could I have worked hard to win the seal of the six countries? So I spent all my money to motivate myself to continue working hard.

It can be seen how expensive the land in the city is at this time.

The urban layout at this time was based on the layout of "the official is close to the palace, the industry and commerce are close to the city, and the common people are close to the door."

The Mohist workshop is for guarding the city. It is very far away from the city, not close to it, and is also very far away from the places where craftsmen live.

At this time, the markets were already very developed. No longer in the "Book of Zhou" hundreds of years ago, there was a land of one man. A city like Shangqiu, if there was only a market with one man, it would be squeezed to death, let alone a huge city like Linzi where the sleeves were raised as clouds and waving sweat beads like raining.

The market is almost the same as that of later generations, and there are all the ones that should be found in later generations at this time.

"The Strategies of the Warring States, Qi Ce" once had the words "going to the market to divine in the market", which proved that there were people who set up stalls to tell fortunes at this time, which was called a long history; "The Analects of Confucius, Xiangdang" once had the words "Selling wine and not eating dried wine in the market", which proved that there were also people who sold jerky wine in the market at this time; "Zuo Zhuan" once had the words "The Jin Dynasty captured the Qin spies and killed them in the market", which proved that there were also the prototype of beheading at Caishikou at this time.

Not to mention the existence of pigs and dogs who always hide the assassin's swordsman.

It is precisely this situation of industrial, commercial and food officials that has been broken, and the city no longer only exploits the surrounding castles of land taxes and labor rents, which has allowed the handicraftsmen who are already gradually powerful to develop secrets in various big cities by covering their identities.

It was precisely because these private carpenters in Shangqiu that they could benefit from the wide market, that they joined the craftsman association and gathered in this city-guarding equipment workshop of the Mozhe.

In the morning, they exchanged their skills with Axe and Jijin, and were busy together in the afternoon, each with division of labor to make spokes, wheel hubs, axles, etc.

A fire broke inside, and the wood was bent with steam or high temperature to be used as parts of the wheel.

The heat inside is not only the temperature, but also the atmosphere of everyone.

In just over half a month, the number of military tuitions completed has far exceeded the amount of 15 days per person. There are also wooden masters like Mozi here, and they have learned a lot.

In the past half a month, Mo Zi, Axe Jujin and some carpenters have made a model of Xiaoshuidai.

It is not difficult to solve the problems of cranks, connecting rods and belt transmission. The remaining components such as water wheels, siding wheels, spinning drums are simply not difficult in the hands of such carpenters.

Water drainage was just a creation of Du's poems during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of Han, and there is no insurmountable technical difference from this time.

The principle is to use water flow to drive the horizontal wheel to rotate, then drive the small wheel, and use cranks and connecting rods to turn the rotational movement into a lateral reciprocating movement.

Modifying the connecting rod mechanism can be used to push the mill, and in the future it can also be used to directly pull the bellows blower. This is the power system. As for what kind of hydraulic machinery is connected to, it will be the future.

I tried it the day before yesterday in a frozen stream outside the city. The effect was good, and there was no problem using it to push the millstone to build a hydraulic mill.

If the model becomes a real object, it is necessary to continue to try, but after clarifying the specific direction and principles, it will not be difficult to do it again.

After doing this, Mo Zi was extremely happy. According to those disciples who had followed Mo Zi for a long time, he was even happier than when he was fighting with the Gongshu clan many years ago.

Perhaps in Mozi's opinion, this is a great benefit to people. He is also the most professional carpenter. He often makes bellows leather to guard the city. How could he not know that this thing can be used for smelting?

After being happy, Mozi thought about two small things that he said, and in Mozi's opinion, it was something that could not be simpler, but no one remembered it.

One is a double-shaft horse carriage, and the other is a wheelbarrow.

At this time, the carriages are all single shafts. The stents and harnesses in front are in a T-shaped shape. The horses must be paired with pairs. On both sides of the T-shaped shape, pull the carriage behind with the cross bar in the middle.

Carriages were originally for war needs, so many horses needed to be pulled. In addition, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were insufficient productivity. Those with carriages were cattle and horses, and not bad, and ordinary families did not have cattle and horses.

But now many merchants, craftsmen, and farmers near the city also need some carriages and ox carts. The simpler the better, the better. They cannot afford to use more than two horses.

Wheelbarrows are convenient for use on impact plains like Shangqiu.

People who cannot afford to use horse and ox carts can save a lot of effort by pushing a wheelbarrow in the city, and the cost is not expensive. Without bearings, they rely on dry-grinding shafts. Only when there are too many things in the city can there be the creaking movements that cities should have.

If you escape famine or migrate in the future, a wheelbarrow will be considered a unique tragic scene in the nearby Yellow Flood Zone in the future.

I hope that after the appearance of this wheelbarrow, it will only benefit people and will no longer become an indispensable thing in those tragic memories.

Mo Zi was too lazy to praise Shi's wonderful ideas, and even said such great tricks. Instead, he discussed some technically rational issues with Shi.

He had studied moving pulleys and fixed pulleys, and had a very thorough study. He took the opportunity to tell him something that Mo Zi had to name in the "Sutra".

Mozi also has basic mechanics. Following Mozi's logical direction, he discussed some simple mechanics issues, starting with pulleys and wheels.

Mo Zi has studied fixed pulleys deeply: He called it "rope". Under the fixed pulley, if two objects are equal, then they will be balanced; if the two objects are equal and heavy, they are at both ends of the fixed pulley. If one is light and the other is heavy, it must be light and placed on the inclined surface. The gravity at the other end of the same end is greater than the friction of the equal heavy object on the inclined surface, so this situation will occur...

Then he said first: "Mr. Sai calls it a pulley. Mr. Sai once said that pulleys are divided into two types: fixed and moving."

After a little talk, Mozi understood the difference between moving and determining the two pulleys.

"Sir, fix the pulley, how long the rope you pull, the weight will be lifted. The pulling force is equal to the power of the weight, right?"

Mo Zi nodded and said, "Yes. As you mentioned, you need to pull twice the rope to increase the same distance, but you can save strength. This is the same as the technique of specimen."

The specimen is Mozi's explanation of leverage. The power arm is called the standard and the resistance arm is called the foundation.

He said in a convenient way: "Since this is the case, then pulling one stone of corn to two feet high, the fixed pulley requires one stone to pull two feet; the moving pulley requires half stone to four feet. Multiplying the two is always the same. So I thought that the number of multiplication can be called work."

When Mozi heard this title, he nodded and said, "The ancients said that merit is determined by hard work. Work and strength are in harmony with time. This name is very good."

Shi hurriedly said, "Since this is the case, it can be said that the fixed pulley does not save effort or effort, and the dynamic pulley does not save effort. It is like pushing objects on ice, which is the same weight and length as killing objects. If the work is different, then you will know that the power is different."

Mozi likes to define some things, and even tries to give clear definitions of many things in the world.

For example, time, space, circle, force, harm, benefit, optical principles, etc., this habit of liking definition is very interesting and useful... In fact, the basis of geometry and physics is also the definition, at least it is necessary to distinguish weight and mass.

Debate seems useless, but in fact it is very useful. Without a philosophical basis, it is impossible to define the concept of mass that also belongs to philosophy and not only physics.

Since he is still alive, he must be inspired to define more things, which must be mastered by later generations.

Mozi didn't know what was right, so he looked down at the wheelbarrow that had been made, turned the wheels upside down, and listened to the squeaking sound, as if he had thought about some problems.

After a long time, he didn't know what he had figured out. He hadn't heard Mo Zi's praise these days, and finally heard Mo Zi's praise again.

"So, you have made a piece of work and effort on the flat ground, compared to shoulder-carrying and carrying a hand,"

He was about to thank the gentleman for his praise, but after hearing Mo Zi's next words, he was completely stunned.

"You know both strength and skill, and you also know the technique of making specimen ropes. Have you ever learned the theory of light and shadow? I once said that shadows do not move. The flying birds are moving, but the shadows are not moving. In fact, the original shadows disappear, and the new shadows appear immediately, rather than the bird's shadows moving."

"I looked at the bronze water mirror and knew that the light was transmitted directly, but how fast is this light so that our eyes could not see the shadow disappear and appear again?"

"If our eyes can see things that are very fast, what is the moment when the shadow disappears and forms? If the bird flies very high and I look downward, can the shadow still be on me? Can I see the shadow of the bird? If the shadow is not on my body, I naturally cannot see the shadow, but the bird really blocks the sunshine in the sky... This is a problem that I have been thinking about for many years."

When Shi heard this, he shook his head quickly and said that he didn't know.

It’s not that he pretended not to know, it’s really not that he really didn’t know what the disappearance and reappearance of the shadow under the speed of light was like.

Just like the famous debate issue at this time, whether it is still or moving at a certain moment after the arrow flies, it is impossible for people like him to explain.

This is a philosophical problem at this time, and he is not good at this. This problem represents the continuity and inseparability of time and space of Mohism, and cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Mo Zi sighed and said, "So, it is unimaginable before experiencing some things. I have deduced the paradise you mentioned dozens of times, which are in line with the appearance of the things you said after they appear. Therefore, I believe you must have seen those real objects, otherwise it would be like the question I just did. If you don't do it for the light, it would be difficult to think clearly about the shadow of the light as fast as the light."

"According to your nine levels of happiness, people in the time of Yao and Shun must not think of the city at this time. When King Wu conferred Duke Zhou to set rituals, they must not think of the world at this time. Therefore, there is no unchanging truth, only the truth of change, and what seems unchanging actually has a prerequisite."

"The truth needs to be attached to things, otherwise it is empty talk. If you don't have evil gold or grass and silk items, then the method of selecting wise men you mentioned cannot be used. And if you don't see the real thing with your own eyes, it is impossible to introduce a land of happiness that matches it out of thin air."

I bowed and listened to the teachings, and I secretly praised it in my heart.

Mozi said a few more words and pointed to the wheelbarrow: "This thing is beneficial to people, but people may not know it. So, when you make wheat flour, you should first make more than a dozen cars and stand by the city for people to use. When you know the tricks of others, one can increase the reputation of my Mohist family; two, buying them all in the future can also make the craftsmen profitable; three, this is also a paradise, so that more people can understand and imagine the poems you have done."

"This is what I thought of after seeing you planting those crops in the village community and writing those psalms. If you don't see something with your own eyes, it will be difficult to imagine the future based on this thing."

Shi was not too shocked by Mozi's philosophy, but was very surprised by Mozi's methods.

It seems that every sentence is all about action meaning, so you can place this thing next to the city for free for people to use. Although it is not worth much money, it has never been done by anyone. It is a real thing that everyone can see. How can you not know the name of Mozhe in Shangqiu City?

Once this thing is released, carpenters and craftsmen can have many ways to gain profits within a few years. How can they not be convinced by the ink?

In this way, no new things will appear within five years, and the people from the Craftsman Association will still not be able to leave, and they will worry that similar utensils may appear any day in the future.

In a reasonable opinion, the person who can lead hundreds of people who are in love with each other will never be as simple as the stories he knows on paper.
