Is it worthwhile to use millions of dollars to set up a creative fund?

Su Xuan thought it was a good deal.

Because no matter how much money is spent, most of it will be consumed within the Qin State, forming a reflux.

On the other hand, the iterative upgrade of tools will inevitably drive productivity rapidly. When people become prosperous, they will naturally collect more taxes.

As for whether the million dollars can really be taken, not necessarily. This is more of a gimmick to attract enough attention and focus on creative inventions.

Among the farmers' children in the crowd, there must be a large number of them who have unrealistic fantasies and want to start this matter, but as long as they experience a few failures, they will soon give up.

Because spring ploughing has already started this year, Su Xuan is not worried that they will delay production.

Seeing that the speech achieved the results he wanted, Su Xuan did not linger any longer.

After finishing the government affairs, it is time to go home and spend time with my wife and children.

Now, after dinner every day, Su Xuan would basically accompany Jingwei to stroll hand in hand in the Prime Minister's Mansion after dusk, feeling the afterglow of the setting sun, the lush green willow branches, and the bright moon.

Jingwei was wearing a loose dress, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, her temperament became more and more gentle, and she had a smile on her face from time to time.

The two of them snuggled on the bench, admiring the beautiful scenery at dusk together. When the afterglow of the sunset faded and the weather gradually became colder, Su Xuan would help Jingwei put on a piece of clothing to prevent him from catching a cold.

Silent tenderness is often the most touching.

"Husband." Jingwei called softly, and from originally nestling in Su Xuan's arms she looked up at him.

Su Xuan gently stroked her cheek and smiled tenderly, "Madam, what's wrong?"

"It's great to meet you." She had a happy smile on her face.

"Yeah." Su Xuan responded. Their heads were close together, with half of their cheeks touching. Su Xuan naturally kissed her on the forehead.

Jingwei buried his head in Su Xuan's chest, feeling the scent and temperature of his body, feeling obsessed and attached in his heart.

Husband, you once said that you would give me all the stars in the sky.

But, in my eyes, no matter how dazzling the stars are, they are not as bright as my husband.

What truly illuminates me is not the stars, but you, my husband!

The warm scene seems to be frozen in a painting, recording the beauty of the world.

The night is as gentle as water, with the gentle breeze and moonlight, the willows swaying in the wind, and the night passes in a flash.

......

Li day.

Su Xuan met the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, who came to visit.

The six-fingered black hero wears a black cloak, has black eyebrows hanging from his waist, and has a friendly look on his face.

"The Six-Fingered Black Knight of the Mohist School greets His Excellency the Prime Minister." He bowed respectfully.

Su Xuan nodded slightly in response.

"I wonder what's the matter, Master Mo?" He asked straight to the point.

"I came here today to express my special thanks to the Prime Minister," said the Six-Fingered Black Knight earnestly. "For the sake of the people of the world, the Prime Minister has put aside the national boundaries and prejudices against the six countries. This noble act of loving and benefiting the world is a blessing for the people of the world. The Six-Fingered Black Knight would like to thank the Prime Minister on their behalf."

Su Xuan had a strange look on his face. Since he wanted to think so, then let him do as he pleases.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister has the world in his heart. I implore you to dissuade the King of Qin from waging an unjust war." His face was sincere, and he showed an attitude of loving the world.

Su Xuan laughed out of anger. He scoffed at the Mohist concept of "universal love".

Everyone is selfish. Even saints cannot love all people, let alone ordinary people?

In his opinion, the Confucian idea of ​​love having closeness and distance is more in line with reality, while the Mohist thought is too idealistic.

Mencius even criticized Mozi's concept of universal love, saying, "Mozi's universal love is fatherless. Without father and ruler, he is a beast!"

As for the unjust wars mentioned by Mozi, he was referring to the various small-scale wars carried out during the period when Lu Buwei was in power. The reason why he dissuaded them was because he could see that the Qin State now had the intention of annexing the world.

"Master, this is wrong." Su Xuan shook his head and said righteously, "In the past, Mozi proposed the concept of universal love and non-aggression because the people at that time suffered from war. The ultimate goal was to allow the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment."

"The so-called non-aggression means opposing unjust wars. But who defines what is just and unjust?"

"Is attacking the six kingdoms an unjust war? The reason why our Great Qin wants to unify the six kingdoms is to end the disputes that have lasted for hundreds of years, so that the people of the world can have enough food and clothing and no longer suffer from the pain of war."

"Do you think this is righteousness or unrighteousness? If it is righteousness, why oppose it?"

The six-fingered black hero frowned and thought, re-examining the definition of righteousness.

But no matter what, Mohist school was still against war, so he advised, "Qin is a vast country with abundant resources, luxury cars, and everything else. Why does it still covet the territories of the six countries?"

Su Xuan laughed in silence, "Sir, are you following Mozi's example and persuading King Hui of Chu not to attack the State of Song?"

"What I want to say is that these two are not the same." Su Xuan shook his head and then explained, "The so-called universal love should not be about loving one person, a group of people, or the people of a country, but about all the people in the world. Do you agree with me, sir?"

The six-fingered black hero nodded without hesitation.

"My Great Qin's annexation of the world is an act of universal love. Now the six countries are all imposing heavy taxes and levies, and the people are suffering. My Great Qin wants to destroy the six countries, not for ourselves, nor for the sake of gaining more territory. My Great Qin just wants to save these people who are in dire straits." Su Xuan smiled slightly and found it very interesting. He wanted to see how the Six-Fingered Black Knight would respond and whether he would stop the Qin State from carrying out its righteous act.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight naturally knew that the Qin State had drastically reduced its taxes. He fully agreed with this policy that benefited the country and the people, because most of the Mohist disciples were farmers and handicraft practitioners, and the Mohist disciples in the Qin State benefited greatly from this. When the Mohist disciples in other countries heard about this, some even wanted to move to the Qin State to live.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight frowned even deeper and fell into complete silence.

Su Xuan smiled and said, "How about this, Sir? You might as well persuade the monarchs of the six countries. As long as they can love their people like their own children like my Great Qin, vigorously develop agriculture, and reduce taxes, then I can persuade the King of Qin not to attack them. How do you think?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight felt a little confused and nodded after a moment of silence.

After the two chatted for a few words, the Six-Fingered Black Knight bowed and said goodbye.

Looking at the back of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, Su Xuan shook his head.

The so-called righteousness should not be so narrow. Just like Gai Nie and Zhang Liang in the future, the swords in their hands were wielded for the people of the world.

The Qin Dynasty unified the world, wasn't it for the benefit of the people of the world?

Su Xuan believed that the Six-Fingered Black Knight must be able to understand the greater good, otherwise, he would have no choice but to have him eliminated.

As for Mohism?

As the Academy of Gewu continued to grow and the two came into conflict, the Mohist school naturally fell apart.

He will show no mercy to his enemies.
