Chapter 649: Chapter 58: Affairs of the World, Affairs of the Martial World, Today They Are Mine!_3

"But with mystical skills available, one can easily achieve a hundred or a thousand times the power of boiling water vapor; yet because the power generated by boiling water is too weak, it was abandoned."

Li Guanyi said:

"Mystical skills are profound, but then, how many can acquire such skills?"

"The Mo School adheres to Universal Love. If this power cannot be used by the people, how can it constitute Universal Love? If one possesses both mystical skills and the power of water and fire, couldn’t one go even further? Guan Yi just thought, if possible, with the power of mechanisms, to aid the people."

The Mo Family Mechanical Masters and Li Guanyi discussed throughout the night without sleeping.

The next day, several Mo Family Mechanical Masters left.

When they returned, they brought back over a dozen Mo School disciples.

Five days later, in the Qilin Army, there were over two hundred Mo School disciples discussing non-stop.

Eventually, the young general asked them if they were willing to go to Jiangnan.

When it came time to ask if they were willing to spread the teachings of the Mo School to the toiling masses, the leader of this group of the Mo School was stunned, his eyes almost bulging out as if he had misheard something.

"Hm?!!"

"Hm??? Spread knowledge?!"

Feeling their heads buzzing.

In the past, they had trekked barefoot across the world, and the Mo School was welcomed when the states needed mechanical techniques, but they were absolutely unwilling to let the Mo School interact with the common people, as if these black-haired, ink-clothed people were some kind of poison.

They had never imagined that a lord would actively support them.

And even planned to promote it.

This Mo Family Master’s heart was almost aflame and he said:

"I, I wait..."

The young man took his arm and said, "Even if the common people cannot accept these ideas at the start, one step at a time, one generation accepting a bit and the next another, various ideological schools can flourish."

He bowed deeply and said solemnly:

"May you educate the common people for the benefit of all."

"Mechanical techniques are not only for sieging cities and killing people, but can also be used for cultivating land and planting crops, allowing the people to eat their fill and have the strength to learn literature and martial arts."

"Such achievements, with Li Guanyi’s ability alone, are impossible; only with everyone’s concerted efforts can we achieve great harmony, even though it’s impossible to succeed within our lifetimes, a step forward is still profoundly satisfying."

"If there are Mo School disciples who can design mechanisms that aid agriculture, though Li Guanyi is poor, he is also willing to spend a fortune on them."

The Mo School disciples remained silent, then all bowed in response:

"Willing to toil like dogs and horses."

Two hundred and seventy-one Mo School disciples entered Jiangnan.

There, vast lands awaited them to spread their knowledge.

The flame of the Mo School was planted, with support from the lords to let them try some mechanical techniques not for war, which in many places were called ’ingenious but impractical tricks.’

States supported the Mo School, only hoping to secure their powerful war machines.

In the current world, only Marquis Qin Wu, surprisingly, valued those techniques deemed by other nobles and aristocratic families as ’ingenious but impractical tricks.’

The Mo School disciples came in succession, then rushed to Jiangnan.

Siming tugged at the corner of his mouth, watching the Mo School disciples appear as if from thin air, then like a flame ignited, without eating, they hurriedly went to Jiangnan.

Li Guanyi had given to the Mo School, and indeed any school, the most important things:

The possibility of the future, full support.

Ling Pingyang stood there holding a gun, with a slight smile, he said to the Deputy General beside him who was staring wide-eyed, in an even tone:

"Didn’t you know? Our lord is like that."

"Watch more, and you’ll get used to it."

Before leaving, Mo Family Master Pan Wanxiu said: "The general is benevolent, but benevolence alone cannot protect the land. We Mo School disciples, although proficient in machinery, mostly use it for defending cities; the strongest among us in machinery are those of the Gongshu Ban lineage."

"The descendant of Gongshu Ban suffered misfortune and was displaced into the Martial World, changing the Gongshu surname to Gongsun, who are now the Gongsun Family in the Martial World, famed for their swordsmanship and mechanical skills."

"Decades ago, the person who traveled the world with our Academy’s Taoist Sacrificial Officer Zu Wenyuan, the living Buddha from the Western Regions, and the Mad King Chen Chengbi of Great Chen, Gongsun Wuyue, is now the head of the Gongsun Family."

"General, if you wish to punish the wicked, you might go there to obtain Gongshu Ban’s powerful devices."

Old friend of Elder Zu...

Li Guanyi was momentarily taken aback, the calm and brave young lord lowered his eyes, as if he could still see that gentle old man. Li Guanyi said softly, "Thank you..."

The Mo Family Master Pan Wanxiu was stunned, suddenly feeling a strange sensation.

The young general’s thanks seemed also to be addressed to another person.

He said: "The general is too courteous."

"I shall be starting my journey soon. General, are you going to the Academy and need me to write a recommendation letter?"

Li Guanyi thought for a moment and said, "Please trouble yourself, sir. Is there a master from the Farmer School?" Pan Wanxiu smiled and said, "You really are curious. Other overlords and lords, noble sons, want to make connections with either the Confucianism or the Military School."

"Otherwise, it’s the Zongheng School or Legalism."

"Those without great ambition, hope to rely on the Buddhist and Taoist schools. Yet you, interested in us who tinker with machinery and those who study agriculture all day?"

Li Guanyi responded with a smile: "I am also interested in martial arts."

"Martial arts, mystical skills, mechanics, formation, and agriculture are all fundamentals of the world."
