"Hehe~ Do you Mohists still study the teachings of Confucius?"

Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, Liu Hong couldn't help but glance at Mo Shang with curiosity.

Mo Shang explained, "When our ancestor was young, he studied the teachings of Confucius. Although his later teachings had different focuses, their underlying principles were not contradictory!"

"Good! Well said. As long as the ideas are the same, the doctrines and emphases are not necessarily incompatible!"

Mo Shang's words resonated deeply with Liu Hong. Who said that Confucian scholars couldn't also study medicine, agriculture, or mathematics?

Learning teaches you manners and how to be a person; skills teach you true knowledge and how to do things. You cannot be called a talent if you lack either one. Only by combining academic knowledge and skills can you truly be considered a talent.

As for how to change and guide them, Liu Hong is not worried. What do students study for? Isn't it to become officials, to stand out from the crowd and bring glory to their ancestors?

Want to become an official in the future? Sure, but besides having exceptional literary talent, you also need to have a skill that you can be proud of.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong's lips curled up slightly. If the Great Han wanted to reform and move forward, it needed to cultivate not only a group of hawkish young military officers, but also a group of radical civil officials.

"I have something I wish to discuss with Minister Mo!"

Liu Hong looked at Mo Shang, his tone carrying a hint of negotiation!

Mo Shang was flattered and said, "Your Majesty, please feel free to give your orders. I will do my utmost!"

Liu Hong smiled slightly and said slowly, "I know that your Mohist school is of the same lineage, especially your Qin Mohist lineage. I imagine you have a very thorough understanding of the various theories and formulas of mechanical engineering. I think..."

At this point, Liu Hong couldn't continue. Although Mo Shang and their Qin Mo lineage had pledged allegiance to him, those theories and formulas were the foundation of their existence, equivalent to the sect's most prized treasures. Was it inappropriate for him to ask for them now?

Mo Shang then realized what was happening and said in a deep voice, "If Your Majesty desires it, I am willing to offer it to Your Majesty."

After saying that, Mo Shang carefully took out an ancient scroll from his sleeve, then held it with both hands and bowed to Liu Hong.

Seeing Mo Shang's expression, Liu Hong shook his head slightly and said softly, "It's not that I want it, but I hope that Mo Qing can compile and organize it to teach the people of the world to learn and use it! Are you willing?"

Without hesitation, he knelt down and said, “Your Majesty has given us a second life. If it weren’t for Your Majesty’s appreciation, we would have disappeared from the world’s sight sooner or later. Now that Your Majesty is willing to spread our lineage’s teachings throughout the world and make them flourish, how could I not be willing?”

After saying that, Mo Shang knelt down excitedly!

Liu Hong was slightly taken aback, and then he realized one of the key issues.

These people are not the kind of people who are self-serving and treacherous; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to serve me.
