Mohism has some socialist spirit. She does not like this feudal society and admires the First Emperor in her heart, but she does not want to continue to build a feudal empire. She needs to continuously develop productivity, improve people's economic level and cognition, and want to create the world in her heart step by step.

The old man didn't expect Qin Xingfu to talk about universal love and non-aggression, and his heart began to waver.

"Lingjuan, go get the blueprint from the green box on the second shelf of my room."

Qin Xingfu knew that she had to conquer them with her strength, so she asked Lingjuan to get the mining equipment drawings she had designed before and show them. She made two copies of these drawings, one for the First Emperor, which was written in small seal script, and she kept the original one for herself.

Lingjuan brought the drawings, and Qin Xingfu showed them to them very casually, not caring at all whether they would leak them out or not. No one should be able to understand the numbers and words on it.

Although the Mohists could not understand numbers and words, they could understand pictures. The designs of these machines were so refreshing that everyone was fascinated by them.

"Everyone, please wait for a while. I still have things to do. If you don't want to stay, you can leave. I will ask His Majesty not to pursue you. But once you leave here, don't look back for me. I don't allow anyone to come here. You only have one chance, so think carefully!"

Everything that needs to be said has been said. As for how they choose, it is up to them. It is not known that they are indispensable. The most she can do is to spend more energy to train more people herself.

When she thought about teaching others, her head hurt. Everyone has different abilities to understand the same thing. Aunt Zhang had seen that she was very smart, having been admitted to a university at a young age and becoming a graduate student very quickly, so she asked her to tutor her son, who had failed several subjects in college.

She thought about how much Aunt Zhang usually took care of her, so she agreed and went for a day of tutoring. She was so angry that she almost went crazy. Didn't she understand why such simple knowledge was so difficult to understand in the eyes of others?

After that day, she refused anyone who asked her to teach. She felt that those cold machines were more interesting. When she thought about teaching a group of ancient people, Qin Xingfu suddenly felt very tired. Looking at the new drawings she designed, she didn't want to do it anymore. She wanted to give up and just crumple it up and throw it away.

Then find a place to lie down and bask in the sun. The snow has basically melted, and the rape flowers are blooming luxuriantly. You can also hear various birds singing and the barking of cats and dogs in heat.

"Spring is here, and it's the season when everything comes back to life!"

Lingjuan brought tea and asked.

"Does the lord think it's noisy? Let's go and drive them away!"

"That's not necessary, I'm just sighing. If anyone has kittens and puppies for sale, you can buy me a few so I can play with them when I have nothing to do."

"Here!"

The two were chatting in the yard. On the other side, the Mohist people, after looking at Qin Xingfu's drawings, saw that no one was around and started talking.

"Master, do you think these drawings were really made by that woman? We have never heard of or seen such machinery before. It seems to be used for mining."

A middle-aged man asked the older man. The old man was shocked when he got the blueprint. Some mechanical techniques were obviously only known by people from the Mohist School. Why did that woman know them too? Could she be the lost bloodline of the Mohist School?

"Do you know where that woman came from?"

"I seem to have heard of this. Many people say that she fell from the sky, like someone who appeared out of thin air."

A skinny but bright-eyed child raised his hand and said this. After hearing this, the old man wanted to hit him on the head, but the child quickly dodged.

"Nonsense, how could someone appear out of thin air? They're not gods."

"Grandpa, it's true. People say that, not me."

The child felt very aggrieved, but it wasn't him who said that.

"Master, should we stay? I don't think she's a bad person. She gave us clothes and good food, bandaged our wounds, and this house is so warm, not cold at all. I heard she's good at building greenhouses, so vegetables can grow even in winter."

"Yes, yes. I heard that those porcelains worth hundreds of thousands of gold were also made by her. I think what she said about helping us revive the Mohist School is true."

"Also, everyone here can read. I just heard that it was Master Qin who taught them and gave them new names. They have never suffered since they came here, and they have delicious food every day."

Everyone in the Mohist school was chattering at once, and they all wanted to stay. The old man had met a lot of people, and when he saw Qin Xingfu for the first time, he felt that he was an upright person and treated others very well.

"So you want to stay?"

Older people consider more and worry that they will be treated as slaves. Children are simpler and just want to have enough food and clothes.

"Master, can we negotiate with him not to treat us as slaves?"

The old man thought so too, and he also wanted to fight for more rights and interests for everyone.

"I understand. Please don't talk for a while. I will negotiate."

Qin Xingfu was still chatting with Ling Juan. When she heard that the Mo family was looking for her, she quickly got up to meet them.

"Master Qin, we in the Mohist School are willing to serve you, but we have a few requirements."

The old man was a straightforward man. When he saw Qin Xingfu, he directly stated his request.

"Sure! Tell me first, what are your requirements? As long as you don't kill or burn anything, break the law, or commit treason, everything else is fine. By the way, what are your names?"

"Old man Zheng Mo is unworthy of being the great master of the Mohist school."

Qin Xingfu didn't expect that the First Emperor was so powerful and he took the biggest share directly.

"Hello, sir. Please take a seat! No need to be polite. There are not so many rules here. Please tell me what you want."

"First of all, no one in my Mohist school should be a slave."

Qin Xingfu nodded. That was no problem. These were all engineers’. Who would make them slaves?

"Of course. Here, everyone is equal. You can do what you want. Not only will you not be punished, but you will also be given a certain official position. At the same time, your family can live a better life. This is the first one. Are there any more?"

Seeing her nod, the old man continued.

“We cannot be forced to create something that harms others and ourselves.”

"Well, everything I do is beneficial to the country and the people, but whether it harms people or not needs to be dialectically considered. We invent things to defend our country, but in the eyes of the enemy, they are things that harm people. You can decide for yourselves when the time comes."

This is the third question the old man was thinking of. By asking you to agree to the first one, he also solved the other two problems.

"Also, we have children. We hope that Lord Qin can send someone to teach them how to read and write. There is nothing else for now."

Qin Xingfu raised his eyebrows. These people have such low requirements?

"That's it, Lingjuan, Qingya, you will teach them how to read and write in the future. When your talents are revealed, we will find someone to teach you based on your characteristics. How do you think?"

Everyone in the Mo family bowed in unison to thank her. Qin Xingfu was in a good mood. Looking at the spring sunset, she couldn't help humming a song as she returned to her room.

Qingya, who usually doesn't like to talk, followed her, took note of it silently, and then took out the guqin and played it aside.

Qin Xingfu didn't expect that these girls were so talented. Shishu, Lingjuan and Shiyun all loved books and read all kinds of books. Qingya liked spices and had a great talent for poetry, books and music. She could quickly compose the songs she hummed.

When the Mohists heard this, they felt very happy. Gao De took them to their residence.

"Please bear with the injustice of staying here for now. The mansion that His Majesty has given to you has not yet been renovated. His Majesty said that it will be renovated after the busy farming season is over."

Zheng Yan looked at the separate courtyard and thought it was pretty good.

"Thank you, sir."

Qin Xingfu Yard

"Sir, what is the name of this song? Are there any lyrics and music?"

Qin Xingfu shook his head. He didn't know what the name was, and he couldn't remember many songs completely. Qingya felt that this song was very suitable for the scene of spring breeze blowing on the face and people going out for an outing.

"Sir, how about calling it Quchunshan? No, the word qu is not very good, how about Naochunshan?"

"How about Haru-sama?"

After being reminded by her, Qin Xingfu thought of the title of this song. It was the song she sang during the Spring Festival Gala when she was nine years old.

Qingya nodded after listening.

"Excellent, excellent. Your Excellency is truly admirable."

Qin Xingfu curled her lips. These were not her abilities now. She was indifferent to other people's flattery or praise.

"What are we having for dinner tonight? I'm a little hungry."

"Just now the butler said that His Majesty sent beef. We will have beef hotpot tonight."

Qin Xingfu was surprised. How could there be beef to eat during this non-festival period?

"Where did the beef come from? Did it die of illness? You can't eat it."

"I heard that Master Jianglu saw an injured cow and bought it at a high price and gave it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty gave 50 kilograms to you and several ministers."

When Qin Xingfu heard that he did not die of illness, she quickly ran to the kitchen and wanted to cook for him herself, but the food had already been prepared and she could smell the fragrance from far away.

"It smells so good, Ding Zhao and Wanda, you are amazing!"

"As long as you like it, we'll do as you say. We're worried that we won't do it well."

The two of them were a little shy when they were praised.

"Let's cook them all. Eat the fresh ones. Send some to the Mo family members as well. Add more food. There are quite a few of them. Then we can share the rest."

"Here!"

Twenty kilograms of meat were distributed to the Mohist people, and Qin Xingfu and his friends ate thirty kilograms together. Qin Xingfu enjoyed the meal very much. The First Emperor treated her better and better, so he had to get some good things for her.

How about giving him the blueprints of the new city? And the palace she designed? No, it's too time-consuming and costly. She should get some money first. The money in the treasury is not as much as she has in her modern bank card. How about building a ship? Kill that bastard Xu Fu.

The more Qin Xingfu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. There were still many mines on the island. Hehe, just dig them all. After digging the mines, he could send the people to plant potatoes.

"Hahaha...I'm so smart!"

Lingjuan was reading a book nearby and was startled by her laughter. He didn't want to disturb her, so he tiptoed out to prepare a midnight snack for her.

The Mohists saw that the food Yue Xin sent was even more sumptuous than the one in the morning, and there was even beef!

"Grandpa, this Lord Qin is amazing. Can we eat meat every day from now on?"

"Lady Qin treats people sincerely. We must serve her well in the future. Don't be lazy in your studies in the future."

Zheng Yan was still quite worried, but when he saw the dinner, he was convinced. He took a bite and it was really delicious. A little spicy, but he felt comfortable all over after eating it. Yue Xin had said before that the clear soup was also something he was not used to.

"Well, it's very good, you all can eat it!"

Zheng Yan almost lost his composure. He had never eaten such delicious food before. As a big shot, he still paid attention to his image. When others heard that they could eat, they all started to eat.

"It's delicious, it's mine, don't grab it!"

"mine!"

Zheng Yan slammed the table when he saw that the people below were about to start fighting because of the food.

"How disgraceful! Stop snatching!"

The others then quieted down, without stopping to use their chopsticks.

"Master, please eat!"

Someone helped him pass some food and Zheng Yan nodded.

The next day, the First Emperor was a little surprised to see Qin Xingfu, thinking that the sun had risen from the west.

"Your Majesty, this is the blueprint of the ship that I drew last night. Thank you for the meat."

Qin Xingfu spoke first and said that he would not be able to do it to the others who also got the meat. Qin Xingfu was too greedy and made them feel like they were just eating free rice.

The First Emperor had it presented, and his eyes lit up when he saw the huge ship.

"I don't plan to go out to sea, what's the point of building a big ship?"

Li Si immediately stepped forward and said, "Please give Your Majesty some eye drops."

"Yes, Xu Fu deceived your majesty and sent people to spend a huge amount of money to build a ship, but the ship never returned. Sir Qin also wants to be like Xu Fu?"

Qin Xingfu felt disgusted when he heard this and said with a look of disdain.

"Why are you disgusting me, Prime Minister? What kind of person is Xu Fu? He didn't come back because he found an island and built a country on it. He has ulterior motives. I want to capture him. Whoever dares to deceive Your Majesty in this world, I will find him in heaven and on earth, and even if he dies, I will grind his bones and scatter his ashes!"

Others just felt that their ability to flatter had declined again and they still needed to learn from her.

The First Emperor felt relieved. Xu Fu had indeed deceived him. He really wanted to bring Xu Fu back and punish him with various punishments during his lifetime, but he did not want to waste people's money and time. He had realized that the Qin Dynasty could not withstand the turmoil.

"Besides that, is there any other reason to go to sea?"

"Of course there are. There are all kinds of minerals on the island. The islanders can use them to mine. Oh, there are Xiongnu. They can also be captured to mine. The Qin people can be liberated. There are silver mines. The storage capacity is larger than that of copper. It can also be used as currency and used to make many things."

They have dug it all. That broken place still has frequent earthquakes. She is more concerned about the mines, and nothing else. Qin Xingfu wants to directly issue paper money, but is afraid that the impact will be too great and counterproductive. Now they are all using copper coins. She wants to get some gold and silver to use for a few years first.

The others thought about it and reminded her.

"Master Qin, we in the Great Qin use half a pound of money."

"You know, gold, silver, copper, and iron are only used as currency and ornaments in your eyes, but they are very useful to me. However, it is useless to tell you now, it is simply talking to a cow. Your Majesty, do you want to vent your anger? If you do, leave it to me. I will build ships after I finish planting this year. It is really boring to be the internal historian of grain."

She really didn't like letting Qin Xingfu farm and do the accounting, and the people she had were all very powerful now, so it didn't matter whether she was there or not.

After hearing this, others thought she was showing off. She was taking advantage of His Majesty's love of being unscrupulous. Some people envied her in their hearts, thinking that she could do whatever she wanted just because of her talent.

"Let's talk about it next year. This year's spring ploughing has already begun. You should do your part first."

The First Emperor was not in a hurry. He wanted to see how the harvest was this year. He was worried that he would not live past July next year, so Qin Xingfu must be with him.

"Here!"

Qin Xingfu knew his concerns and stopped arguing. She lowered her head and played with her fingers. She didn't care what they said. Let's talk about it next year. This year, we should find a way to train more people. She seemed to have a princess mansion. Yue Xin mentioned that it was almost finished. Well, I'll go and take a look later. Let's turn it into a school. Ah! We still have to teach people.

"Retreat!"
