The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought

South gate of Xianyang market.

Thousands of people gathered together, each of them leaning their heads out, unable to stop looking towards the platform.

Because on the high platform, there were hundreds of boxes of gold coins, the brilliant golden light was shining brightly, connecting into pieces, converging into a golden ocean, with a magical power that made everyone's eyes burn with heat and their breathing quicken.

Such a huge amount of wealth shocked everyone present.

If not for the thousands of Tiger Guards maintaining order, the scene would have been in chaos.

Under everyone's focused gaze, Su Xuan slowly walked up to the platform.

He was calm and composed, and was not at all nervous even when facing a crowd of thousands.

In order to make sure everyone could hear him clearly, he even took a simple loudspeaker and placed it on the platform.

"Everyone, listen to me." As soon as Su Xuan opened his mouth, his voice drowned out everyone present.

The scene instantly became quiet because they were eager to know what was going on, and many people looked at the loudspeaker in Su Xuan's hand curiously.

"Do you remember where this place is?" Su Xuan pointed at the platform and asked everyone.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, it was here that Shang Yang moved trees to establish trust and implemented reforms, which led to the strength of the Qin State today!" Someone in the front row raised his hand and answered.

Su Xuan nodded, "That's right. Shang Jun once said that anyone who could move the wood from the South Gate to the North Gate would be rewarded with ten taels of gold. No one believed him, so he raised the reward to fifty taels of gold. Only one person could move the wood. Shang Jun kept his promise."

"Our Great Qin is founded on the law, and our orders are carried out accordingly, so you don't have to worry that what I say today is false."

He looked around, a smile on his face, "Do you want to know what all this money is used for?"

"Yes!" The crowd at the scene shouted in unison like a tsunami. Who wouldn't covet so much money? Who wouldn't be jealous? Especially when they have the opportunity to get some of the money, it makes them very excited.

Su Xuan continued to help them add fuel to the fire, "Seven days ago, the king issued a decree that anyone who came up with an idea that could change farmers' lives and passed the review would be rewarded with 100 taels of gold."

"In seven days, a total of twenty people completed fifty innovations, and one of them even completed ten innovations. Do you know how much gold he won?" Su Xuan's smile deepened, "Yes, a thousand gold!"

As Su Xuan finished his words, the scene instantly became lively. When the decree was issued before, many people did not take it seriously, but when the first person to try it out appeared, they became jealous and went crazy, their eyes turned red.

A huge fortune! It would be hard for an ordinary farmer to earn even after working hard for a hundred years! But now, it only takes ten creative ideas and ten inventions to get it!

It's as simple as picking up money! No, it's clearly robbing money!

Su Xuan ignored them and continued to follow the normal process.

He asked the inventors to come on stage one by one and personally handed the gold coins to them.

When the people in the audience saw this scene, they looked forward to it and thought how great it would be if this happened to them!

"Do you want to know what this thing in my hand is?" Su Xuan pointed to the curved loudspeaker in front of the stage. "This thing is called a loudspeaker. It can amplify a person's voice several times. This thing was created by the person who invented the ten innovations."

"That person is none other than Mohist disciple, Mo Shi!"

"Now, let's welcome today's protagonist, Moshi!"

Mo Shi climbed onto the platform with a flushed face, looking a little uneasy under the gaze of everyone.

Su Xuan was not in a hurry to give him the bounty. Instead, he took out his other inventions, placed them on a high platform, and demonstrated them one by one.

He pointed to the hand-made water press on the stage and introduced, "This is called a water press. Just press it lightly and water will flow out automatically."

He pressed the button lightly, and water began to flow out of the vessel slowly through the pipe.

After introducing the water pump, he began to introduce the next invention, "This is called a barrel wheel. Compared with a water wheel, it no longer requires manpower to irrigate the fields."

"With this invention, the farmers can save a lot of energy. It can be said to be a feat that truly benefits the country and the people. Our Great Qin is also preparing to promote this product throughout the country, so that thousands of farmers can live and work in peace and have enough food and clothing!"

"I know that among you, there are quite a few spies from the six kingdoms, and some of you are wondering why I want to make these inventions public. What I want to tell you is that my Great Qin is not for the benefit of one country, but for the benefit of the whole world. As long as the children of farmers in the world can have enough food and clothing and their families can be healthy, what does a little money count for?"

"This money is paid by Daqin!"

"You can take this achievement!"

He showed great courage and did not care about minor gains and losses. In fact, he knew that once these inventions for people's livelihood were promoted, it would be difficult to conceal them. Instead of hiding them, it would be better to show them to them openly, let them feel the favor of Daqin, and let Daqin become famous among thousands of peasant disciples and establish an absolute reputation.

The spies from the six countries had different expressions, and many of them were impressed by Su Xuan's courage and sighed inwardly.

Su Xuan on the stage pointed at Mo Shi and said loudly, "I also know that there are many farmers among you. Do you think we should thank him?"

"Stop being a bitch and tell me what's on your mind!"

"Thank you, Mr. Moshi!"

"Mr. Moshi has been so kind and generous. We will never forget it!"

"Sir, this is a great honor! We will keep it in mind!"

......

Various sincere thanks came one after another. Mo Shi, who was standing on the stage, was shocked and happy for them at the same time.

Here, he gradually found the meaning of his existence.

Su Xuan started to flatter, "This is the true disciple of the Mohist School. They love all living things. They are not limited to a corner of the country, nor are they limited to a city or a country. They work for all living beings in the world."

"As long as it is beneficial to the people of the world, they will do it without hesitation!"

Mo Shi looked ashamed, because when he submitted the invention, it was not for these things at all.

Thinking back to the Mohists in the Mechanical City, they even felt confused in their hearts. The Mohists kept saying that they loved the world, but they hid in a paradise, letting the people of the world suffer, while they themselves enjoyed a peaceful and tranquil life. Was this truly the practice of Mohist morality?

Why did he feel that what the Qin State was doing was more like what the Mohists were doing?

The Mohist school, which had always been high and mighty in his heart, gradually lost its halo, and the distance between them became farther and farther.

"This thousand gold is all yours!" Su Xuan pointed to a box beside him and said with a smile.

At the same time, he did not forget to remind the captain beside him to send someone to escort the ink stone to avoid being targeted by thieves.

"I heard that you haven't joined the Institute of Gewu yet." Su Xuan patted his shoulder, "The Institute of Gewu in Daqin has always been looking forward to talents like you."

Mo Shi was eager to try. The working atmosphere, goals and vision of the Institute of Gewu were what he longed for. In this position, he could do research for a lifetime without getting bored.

Thinking of his seriously ill mother who needed care at home, his eyes dimmed.

After hearing his explanation, Su Xuan valued him even more and told him that for real talents, the working hours in the Institute of Gewu were flexible. Also, if the family members of the Institute of Gewu were sick, there would be special people to treat and take care of them, so he didn't need to worry.

"I will devote all my energy and efforts to the great kindness of the Prime Minister!" Mo Shi was deeply moved. How could he repay such a great kindness? He could only work hard and devote the rest of his life to studying everything for the Prime Minister.

Su Xuan helped Mo Shi up and nodded with satisfaction.

As for the anti-Qin force of Mohism, Su Xuan took his first step, which was to divide them.

The situations of the Mohist disciples who joined the Gewu Academy and those who did not were completely different. At that time, could they still maintain their inner balance?

Su Xuan's idea about Mohism is very simple. Those who work for the Qin Dynasty are true Mohists, and those who do not work for the Qin Dynasty are rebels who must be eradicated.

After taming the ink stone, Su Xuan looked at the people below the stage and said loudly, "In the past, Shang Jun moved the wood to make laws, which made the Qin Dynasty strong for a time. Today, I will help the Qin Dynasty to stand on another level!"

"Do you know how much money there is here?" Su Xuan pointed to the gold treasure chests scattered on the ground, "There are a full 100,000 taels of gold here!"

The people present stared intently with fiery eyes.

"Do you think that's all?" Su Xuan stretched out a finger and shook it, "No, what I prepared for you is one million gold!"

"As long as you can invent something useful, all this money will be yours!"

Su Xuan stretched out his hands, like a demon stirring up people's hearts, and grinned, "The money is here. Anyone who wants it can come and get it anytime!"

boom!

Just like a little boy throwing a bomb, it instantly caused an uproar at the scene.

In the past, Shang Yang moved a piece of wood to show his trust, but the reward was only fifty gold. However, Su Xuan actually set up a million gold prize pool!

An invention that passes review can earn you hundreds of dollars!

Everyone couldn't help but get agitated. Who wouldn't be jealous of such a huge sum of money?

But after the envy, everyone couldn't help but frown, because they really didn't know what invention they could come up with.

Those who have relevant manufacturing experience and good ideas will leave first, because the rules clearly state that ideas are on a first-come, first-served basis, and those who come later will not get a penny!

Some Mohist disciples in the crowd thought of the advanced manufacturing in the Machinery City. After handing it over to the Institute of Gewu, they would not only be able to earn a considerable amount of money, but if the Institute of Gewu could promote it, it would be a good thing for the country and the people!

Even the great masters of the Mohist school would probably raise their hands in approval of such a righteous act.

From the perspective of privacy, Gewuyuan will not reveal the name of the creator unless the creator agrees.

With no worries and the chance to gain both fame and fortune, they naturally would not miss the opportunity to make money in a legitimate way.

At the same time, a figure in a black cloak in the crowd was staring at Su Xuan intently.
