The middle-aged man laughed out loud, stood up and bowed, saying, "My name is Zhai Yun, nice to meet Master Wuji. I've only heard of your name before, but I didn't expect you to be such a sharp-sighted person."
Wu Dan snorted twice and was too lazy to refute.
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhai, for your willingness to help. I would like to express my gratitude here."
He looked at Zhai Yun, who was also dressed in ordinary Mohist attire, and just like the three young men behind him, he looked very simple and frugal.
In fact, there are many people from famous families in the Mohist Guild, but Zhai Yun in front of him is not one of them. The vicissitudes of life that can be seen with the naked eye are not something that rich people can have.
Like most of the Mohist Guild members, he probably started out as a farmer or craftsman from the bottom of society.
This is also a point in which the Mohist School differs from most of the other schools of thought. Although Mozi was also considered a down-and-out aristocrat, he was almost no different from someone who rose from humble beginnings. His doctrines were naturally friendly to common people, and the Mohist school’s ideas were more easily believed by common people.
Of course, this also led to the Mohist Guild not having strong financial support, and the overall economy was in a difficult situation. No matter how high the Mohist's position in the guild was, he had his own job to support the guild. Under the leadership of contemporary giants, these idealists were not afraid of hardships, and their character was naturally much nobler than that of ordinary people.
This is why Ying Wuji wanted to invite them.
Zhai Yun asked, "I don't know why Master Wuji asked us to come here. I heard that someone has been trying to harm you recently. If you want someone to protect you, then you've found the right person. I've gained new insights into the field of 'non-aggression' recently. Even the most murderous assassins will have no choice but to surrender and negotiate when they enter my field."
this……
Ying Wuji couldn't help but smile. The non-attack field is a high-level spell of the Mohist school. It can greatly weaken the murderous intent of everyone in the field. It is a rare range-control spell and is truly a magical tool for persuading people to stop fighting. Only Mohist practitioners with extremely strong character can master it.
It is rumored that Mozi was helping the State of Qi to defend its city. After using this spell, he immediately defeated the 200,000-strong Chu army. From then on, he became famous in the field of non-offensive warfare.
The blue ball of light at the end of Zhai Yun's emotion bar must correspond to the non-offensive field, but its power is definitely not as strong as that of Mozi in the holy realm.
He smiled and waved his hands: "Brother Zhai, you misunderstood! I invited you all here, actually just want to ask you to do some ordinary work, but don't worry, the wages will definitely be high!"
"How many?"
"Each person gets fifty taels per month, but the content of the work must be kept secret, even those within the Mozhe Guild cannot reveal it."
“So high!”
Everyone was shocked. For a master like Zhai Yun who was in the fetal transformation stage, fifty taels was not bad. It was only a relatively high salary among the jobs he had ever done. For the other young people, it was too generous. You have to know that the cash salary of a hundred households of Feiyu Guard was only twenty taels.
Zhai Yun hesitated and said, "Keep it a secret... Master Wuji, don't you want us to do something immoral?"
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Of course not! If it is immoral and violates the principles of you Mohists, you can just quit at any time!"
"Okay then!"
Zhai Yun smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"
After signing the confidentiality agreement, Ying Wuji took a few Mohists into the backyard and gave a brief explanation of the content of movable type printing.
After hearing this, several Mohists became so excited that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
Zhai Yun slapped his thigh fiercely. "How come we didn't think of such a simple thing? We only need to carve a few words here and there, instead of copying books. Paper is so cheap now, it is completely possible for all people in the world to read the works of Mohism!"
[Hint]: When the target's emotional fluctuation value exceeds 90, you will randomly obtain the Xuan-level technique "Non-offensive Sword Technique".
This non-offensive sword technique is also of green level. The Mohist sword technique uses defense as offense, which is unique among the many sword techniques schools.
Although this non-offensive sword technique is also at the Xuan level, its color is much darker than other Xuan level techniques, and it even has a hint of blue. It is already somewhat close to the Earth level technique, and is definitely a powerful weapon.
Ying Wuji understood Zhai Yun's feelings. Although the Mohist School was still active in the political sphere of most vassal states, it had long lost its heyday.
After all, in the minds of Mohists, the giants are the supreme existence, but this is a big taboo in the eyes of monarchs of various countries, and they always reject Mohism because of this.
As for the three points in Mohist thought, namely, against music and frugal burials, they were bound to be unacceptable to the nobles.
Therefore, over time, the influence of the Mohist school in the political arena became smaller and smaller, and even different voices appeared several times within the school.
If not every generation of great men were saints who truly adhered to Mohist thought, enough to convince everyone, the group would probably have fallen apart from within.
Every Mohist hopes that Mohism can regain its glory, and the most direct way to do so is to absorb talents from the grassroots.
So when Zhai Yun heard about this magical thing called movable type printing, his first reaction was to spread the works of Mohist school throughout the world.
He looked at Ying Wuji with red eyes: "Master Wuji, can I make a request?"
Ying Wuji smiled slightly: "Brother Zhai, please speak!"
Zhai Yun took a deep breath and said, "We will keep the movable type printing business a secret, but we hope you can help us print the classics and sell them to the public at a price that ordinary students can afford! The price and manpower are easy to negotiate. If you need anything, just ask our Mohist Guild."
Ying Wuji immediately understood.
Two hundred years ago, the rise of papermaking and the planting of royal bamboo grass in various places meant that paper was no longer something that only the nobility could afford. However, the price of books remained high, precisely because they were copied by hand.
If most common students wanted to study, they could only buy a blank booklet and run around begging people to copy the book for them. This created great resistance to the development of the doctrine, especially the Mohist doctrine which was based on the middle and lower classes.
