The big man has a living father

Chapter 84: Giant Saw
No one in the world is a fool.

One piece of meat had maggots, the other did not.

Anyone can tell which one to take.

In fact, Tang Jiao reported this matter before Huo Hai came to work.

But Huo Hai didn't care at all.

Because the so-called Mr. Lu did not return the bacon at all, he accepted it.

If that is the case, then what he did was not for his faith, but for something else. Huo Hai felt that he was just a fraud, just like those people who became famous on the Internet in later generations by fraud and then sold goods and courses.

Mr. Lu wanted to become famous by committing fraud and then sell courses.

Dong Zhongshu was speechless when faced with Huo Hai's words.

Huo Hai looked at Dong Zhongshu and said, "Master Dong, you are so famous and rich, you shouldn't default on your debts, right?"

Dong Zhongshu stood with his hands behind his back: "What are you talking about? How can I deny my debt?"

Huo Hai took out an iron brush to polish his nails, saying, "Master Dong, do you still remember that you owe me a book?"

Dong Zhongshu wondered: "When did I owe you a book?"

Huo Hai: "We agreed at the beginning that I would exchange a cart of paper for your book about the wooden-track carriage. Don't you remember?"

The reason why Huo Hai wanted this book was because he found the person who made the wooden-track carriage, but that guest ignored Huo Hai, so Huo Hai wanted to read Mohist's book to see if he could exchange secret codes with the other party.

Faced with this question, Dong Zhongshu was even more confused: "I confiscated your paper!"

Huo Hai put the short man away and smiled, "You confiscated my papers? Your apprentice Ying Gong took them away. Not only that, he also took away the carriage that I used to carry the papers. So besides the book, you have to bring me something else."

Dong Zhongshu looked around to find Ying Gong.

At this time, Duke Ying had just arrived at the Prince's Palace and was walking up the stairs.

When he looked up and saw Dong Zhongshu's expression, he knew that his crime had been exposed, so he covered his face and moved away.

Dong Zhongshu was filled with grief and said, "What an unworthy descendant! When you get off duty, the book will be at the door."

Huo Hai smiled and said: "The idiom 'unfilial descendants' is used to describe one's own descendants. You should use the word 'traitor' instead."

"Then thank you Master Dong for the book."

……

After dragging the book into the courtyard, Huo Hai flipped through it casually and found it.

It turns out that in addition to "Mozi", there is also a more practical book "Moji", but this is not Mozi's book, but a miscellaneous collection summarized by the later great scholar.

However, Huo Hai did not look too much and he was sure that his disciple must be the descendant of Mohist school.

The Huo Mansion had built many courtyards at this time, most of which were used for experiments.

But there was one yard where people lived but no experiments were being conducted.

Huo Hai came to the yard.

At this time, there were two people living in this yard.

At the beginning, there was only one person living here, who was a retainer who claimed that he could make a wooden track carriage. He did not do any experiments, nor did he research anything. He just wandered around the Huo Mansion every day, eating and drinking.

He said that any time you start building a wooden-track carriage, just call him.

He did not answer any other questions from Huo Hai.

It is now basically certain that this person is the descendant of the Mohist school.

Now, there are two people living in the yard. One of them is a carpenter who is missing one hand. He comes as a retainer and also says that he can make a wooden-track carriage.

Because he also said he could build a wooden track carriage, Huangfu Hua arranged them in a yard.

Huo Hai was on his way to the yard when he heard Huangfu Hua say this and was surprised: "What the hell are you talking about? What did the second one with only one hand say?"

Huangfu Hua: "He said he could build a wooden-track carriage."

Xiang Xu couldn't help but ask: "Then you arranged them in one yard?"

Huangfu Hua was puzzled: "Isn't that right?"

Huo Hai has started to jog.

Xiang Xu: "You fool, the first person who could make wooden carriages never interacted with other carpenters among his retainers and never formed cliques with them. He is obviously a descendant of the Mohist school."

"The second person is missing an arm. So, he is missing a skill. Isn't that the successor of Gongshu Ban?"

"You put two mortal enemies in the same yard?"

Huangfu Hua understood now and ran away quickly.

In the small courtyard, Huo Hai trotted to the door and smelled blood: "Oh no!"

Huo Hai pushed open the half-high wooden door and stepped in.

I saw the man who was missing one arm was lifting a dog with an iron hook, while the man with two arms was skinning the dog with a knife.

Both of them turned around and looked at Huo Hai.

The two men hurriedly stopped, threw the dog onto the table behind them, and stood up straight: "Second Young Master."

Fortunately, everything was fine. Huo Hai breathed a sigh of relief and gasped for breath on his knees.

Huangfu Hua and Xiang Xu ran in one after another. Their faces turned pale when they saw the blood all over the ground. They then saw two shirtless men standing beside them, one of them holding a knife and the other holding an iron hook.

Xiang Xu yelled, "Fuck it! They're fighting! Call the doctor!"

Huangfu Hua looked reluctant: "With so much blood flowing, is it too late to call the doctor?"

Xiang Xu: "It's all your fault. Who told you to place the descendants of Mohism and Gongshu Ban in the same courtyard?!"

There was nothing wrong at first, so the two people who were standing upright looked at each other when they heard the secret in their hearts being revealed.

Huo Hai turned around and looked at the two funny guys: "Next time, look carefully before you speak."

Huangfu Hua tilted his head and looked: "Oh! So they are killing dogs, then it's okay."

Xiang Xu looked at the two people and smiled awkwardly: "It was fine before, but now it's a problem."

Huo Hai dragged a chair from the yard over and sat down: "I suggest that you two stay away from each other first, so as to avoid sudden impulse and murder."

The one-handed man: "I will never retreat."

The man with two hands: "I will retreat against anyone, but I will not retreat against the successor of Lu Ban."

It would be strange if they retreated.

The Mohist school invented the compass and the ruler. The so-called compass is a compass, and the so-called ruler is a ruler.

As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. Because of this, the leaders of each generation of Mohist school are called Juzi, Juzi, and Juzi, while ordinary descendants of Mohist school are called Mohists.

Then Mozi's opponent, another inventor, Gongshu Ban, also known as the Saint of Engineering, invented two interesting things.

Ink fountain and saw.

Therefore, every qualified successor of Gongshu Ban was able to combine the ink fountain and wield a saw.

Isn't this deliberately taking advantage of the Mohists?

Even if Lu Ban swore that he didn't mean it.

Who believes?

No matter how much the Mohists advocated universal love and non-aggression, they could not tolerate such a face-to-face attack.

It seems that no matter how honest a person is, he cannot endure the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch, except for Han Xin of course.

Huo Hai: "Are you two sure you won't retreat?"

"Come on, lock them up separately and let them starve for three days."

The one-armed man and the two-armed man looked at each other and took three steps back at the same time.

Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry.

After the two men stepped back, the man with both hands bowed with both hands: "Mo family, Yang Liancheng."

Before the one-handed man could speak, Yang Liancheng smiled and said, "You don't have to salute. It's enough to show your appreciation. It's also quite difficult."

The one-handed man was so angry that his brain suddenly became congested because of the missing hand. He shouted sternly: "Master Craftsman, Chen An!"

Yang Liancheng laughed out loud: "A carpenter is a carpenter, and a master carpenter at that."

Huo Hai looked left and right and just wanted to say that the show was about to begin.

Chen An took a deep breath and raised his only right hand, pointing the hook at Yang Liancheng: "You are definitely not an ordinary Mozhe, you are a giant!"

Seeing this scene, Huo Hai couldn't help but interrupt: "Chen An, if you make a sheath for the iron hook and wear it on your broken arm, you can free up your right hand."

It's a bit like pirates.

Chen An took a look at his broken arm and felt that this was a bad idea. He turned around and said, "Sir, I have invented a palm. When I am not doing anything, I can wear it and look at it from a distance so that others cannot see it."

Yang Liancheng chuckled: "It is only right that the descendant of Gongshu Ban should have such an end."

Of course Gongshu Ban also passed his knowledge down through a book called "Lu Ban Book".

The first half of Lu Ban's Book records the contents of stonemasons, carpenters, and bricklayers, that is, mining, machinery, and pottery making.

But in the second half of the book, in addition to various strange techniques, there are also some idealistic things like spells.

There is a rumor that one cannot learn all of Lu Ban's books and must miss one. If one does not learn one skill, then one has to choose one from the following: a widower, a lonely, a lame, a deaf, a dumb, or a blind.

In fact, from a scientific point of view, it is because of the lack of attention to production safety. There are too many recorded techniques and it is impossible to teach them all when learning from a master. Many techniques are very dangerous when learning them from a book for the first time, and it is easy to take away an organ or a family member at random.

Chen An did not get too entangled in the face of Yang Liancheng's provocation, but said calmly: "It's a pity that the Mohists are like dogs that have lost their homes and dare not appear in the world."

Yang Liancheng laughed: "Do you really think that all the Mohists in the world have disappeared? There are Mohists everywhere in the world."

"Yang Chengyan, who built Chang'an, is a Mohist. Are you surprised?"

Huo Hai looked at Xiang Xu: "Who is Yang Chengyan?"

Xiang Xu whispered, "When Emperor Gaozu built the palace, he asked Xiao He to be in charge, and Yang Chengyan was an official who rose to prominence among the troops. He was responsible for the specific design and construction. All the Hanques now are based on his design. The architecture of the Qin Dynasty was not like it is now."

Huo Hai suddenly realized.

There is nothing wrong with this. It is unlikely that a person who has not been exposed to design and craftsmanship would develop an entire architectural category with a complete style like Han architecture.

After hearing that Yang Chengyan was a tycoon, Chen An's face looked very unhappy.

Yang Liancheng: "To be honest, we are not showing up again because we are afraid of anyone. Even if we are afraid of someone, it is not Gongshu Ban."

"Do you think you can take advantage of the Mohist school by holding an inkstone in your left hand and a saw in your right hand?"

"Little do people know that the leader of the world's craftsmen is never a great craftsman, but a giant. Only Mo can give orders."

This statement is really a bit murderous.

The person who can command all the craftsmen in the world is definitely not the most powerful craftsman, nor the descendant of Lu Ban.

But a person who can do design.

As it happens, this is the domain of Mohism.

Craftsmen spend the whole day using Mo Zhu and saws. Isn't Mo Zhu directing and mobilizing craftsmen all over the world and governing all craftsmen with rules?
The craftsman is good at craftsmanship, and the Mohist is good at planning.

When Chen An heard Yang Liancheng say this, his face changed.

Chen An probably has figured out by now that those senior executives in charge of construction supervision and those in charge of large-scale projects such as city building are probably all descendants of the Mohist school.

Although they may not know that they are learning Mohist things, this is indeed what Mohist school does.

The things of Mohism have long been hidden and integrated into other fields.

There is only a master-apprentice inheritance of craftsmen, but there is no master craftsman leading a large group of craftsmen to work on a project.

If you want to be the person in charge of a large project, you have to learn from the Mohist school.

After learning this, am I still a descendant of Lu Ban?
This is an unsolvable deadlock!

Huo Hai, who was listening to their argument, pinched his chin and began to think.

It turns out that the hatred between the construction party and the design party is a legacy of the fight between Mozi and Lu Ban.

But then again, no great figure in the Warring States Period would have a personality like Yang Liancheng, and he would not like to make fun of others' shortcomings.

It seems that Yang Liancheng was not only a great man, but was also influenced by Gongyang School.

We are all in this world, and we are all in the same jar. Who can escape?

Chen An's chest heaved as he lowered his head, thinking about something.

Huo Hai tilted his head and looked at Chen An: "Chen An, you don't want to take action, do you?"

Chen An raised his head and looked at Huo Hai.

Huo Hai: "Didn't you notice that he was provoking you to take action?"

Chen An was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Ever since his identity was revealed by Huangfu Hua, Yang Liancheng has become extremely aggressive. Every word he says is provocative and he has no martial ethics.

Chen An looked at the iron hook in his hand.
