Chapter 69 Pain and Pleasure



Wang Yue nodded, "I fought him when I was young, and the result was even!"

"Yeah?"

Liu Hong was very familiar with Wang Yue's abilities, and Mo Shang, who was on par with Wang Yue, immediately piqued his interest.

What is this person like?

Wang Yue thought for a moment and said, "This person is different from ordinary wandering knights. Although he is highly skilled in martial arts, I have never heard of him killing a single person, and he has no ambition whatsoever!"

After listening to Wang Yue's words, Liu Hong nodded. Just as Mo Shang had said in his letter, as long as Liu Hong was willing to accept him, he was willing to lead the Qin Mo lineage to serve Liu Hong and be at the emperor's beck and call.

They only hoped that the emperor would treat them like doctors, allowing them to appear openly and honestly before the world, just like ordinary people.

"How much does the royal army know about the Qin Mo lineage?"

Wang Yue thought for a moment and then said, "Qin Mo served the former Qin Emperor Ying Zheng and helped him unify the six eastern states. They advocate pragmatism and never engage in empty talk, and are proficient in mechanical devices."

Mo Shang and the others' views did not conflict with Liu Hong's, and their technology was indeed exactly what Liu Hong needed. Moreover, he did not think that this group of people, who had been dormant for hundreds of years, could pose any threat to the Han Dynasty!

After pondering for a moment, Liu Hong said, "Wang Shi, go find Yang Qiu and have him bring this Mo Shang to me. I want to see him."

Before long, Yang Qiu led Mo Shang to Deyang Palace, while Wang Yue closely guarded Liu Hong.

"This humble servant, Mo Shang, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

"No need for formalities!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Hong looked Mo Shang up and down, while Mo Shang lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Since your Mohist school has been silent for so long, why do you want to emerge again now?"

Upon hearing Liu Hong's question, Mo Shang calmly replied, "We previously secluded ourselves from the world because previous emperors only valued Confucianism, and we did not wish to get involved in those factional struggles. Now, His Majesty is wise and treats everyone equally, valuing physicians. Therefore, we are also willing to do our part for His Majesty and for the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Hong smiled and said, "Doctors heal the sick and save lives, which is evident to all. I wonder what you can do? You should know that I have no shortage of officials and talents!"

"I'll wait..."

Upon hearing Liu Hong's question, Mo Shang opened his mouth, unsure how to answer. Was it a mechanism or a machine? It seemed that what they had was indeed of little use to the Emperor.

Looking at Mo Shang, who was standing there dumbfounded, Liu Hong couldn't help but shake his head. Had he gone mad from hiding for so long? He hadn't produced anything useful in hundreds of years.

Then Liu Hong took out several blueprints for farm tools and waterwheels.

"I learned about these things from an ancient book. You can take it and study it. If you can recreate it or improve it, I wouldn't mind accepting you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! We will certainly do our utmost to research and develop it!"
