Chapter 195: Song Yingxing, the registered disciple of Gongshu

This mysterious successor of Lu Ban.

His real identity turned out to be the famous Song Yingxing!

Song Yingxing was a talent recruited by Mao Wenlong.

I didn't expect that he was actually involved with Lu Ban.

The reason why Mao Wenlong knew this.

It is also thanks to the formal and solemn visiting card placed on the table.

There was only one name clearly written on the visiting card - Song Yingxing, a registered disciple of Gongshu.

Gongshu, that is the surname of Lu Ban, the ancestor of ancient carpenters!

Song Yingxing is so powerful, but he is only a nominal disciple.

If he is the true descendant of Lu Ban.

Wouldn’t that be even more amazing?

So after receiving the visiting card.

Mao Wenlong quickly asked someone to invite Song Yingxing in.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Song Yingxing said to him respectfully.

Mao Wenmao: "You're welcome. Please take a seat. Why are you alone, Mr. Song? Where is the descendant of Gongshu clan?"

Song Yingxing: "Reporting to the prince, the heir of the Gongshu clan has not come out. I came to see the prince because I was ordered to discuss preliminary cooperation with the prince."

It doesn’t matter if people don’t come.

Since they started to reveal their identities.

That definitely means he wants to leave the mountain.

This kind of power was able to be passed down from the pre-Qin period to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

He will definitely not reveal his cards easily.

But Mao Wenlong believes that with the technology and various advanced equipment they have mastered.

Sooner or later, Lu Ban's successor will be attracted out...

Mao Wenlong: "Oh, how are they going to cooperate with me?"

Song Yingxing: "Your Majesty, after I arrived in Liaodong, I saw all kinds of weapons and equipment in the arsenal.

The ingenious design and magical structure of those things are really amazing. So I wrote a letter to tell my master what I saw and heard.

The sect sent out other registered disciples to verify the various situations and confirmed that what I said was true. The people in the sect became very interested in this and wanted to reach a cooperation with the prince..."

Mao Wenlong: "It's normal for them to be interested, and it's not impossible for them to want to cooperate. The question is what conditions do they have? How can they be confident in cooperating with me?"

Song Yingxing: "First of all, the prince attaches great importance to all kinds of craftsmen, and treats them very favorably. In addition, the prince has too many magical things in his hands. This is very attractive to Gongshu.

The second is in education. The textbooks compiled by the prince and the re-established education system clearly attach great importance to the craftsmanship of all kinds of craftsmen, and the proportion of Confucianism, which has existed for thousands of years, is very small. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Gongshu.

Thirdly, the prince wanted to use the Three Emperors Religion to replace Buddhism, and he obviously regarded this as a thousand-year undertaking, and the possibility of success was very high.

In other words, as long as this matter is accomplished, the Gongshu clan can play a huge role in the next few hundred or even thousand years, and they don’t have to hide anymore…”

Mao Wenlong: "Well, what you said are the reasons, which are generally reasonable. So what are the conditions? What are their conditions?"

Song Yingxing: “As for their conditions, they just hope to send some people to serve the prince like me.

Then, in the process of work, they will study various magical things and ensure that they will not use the techniques they have learned to deal with the prince or to harm the common people.

As long as the prince can guarantee their safety and prevent other forces from deliberately targeting them, nothing else matters!"

So simple?

It seems that Mao Wenlong got a great advantage.

But from the last two sentences, Mao Wenlong heard other meanings.

What kind of forces would target Gongshu clan?

And will it make them worried?

That must be the various schools of thought that have been passed down since the pre-Qin period!

Lu Ban's descendants have been able to pass on the tradition to this day.

There must be people among the other schools of thought who have been able to pass on their teachings to this day.

As for the millennium-long grudges between those forces.

I am not sure about Mao Wenlong.

The only thing Mao Wenlong understood was Confucianism.

Confucianism has always despised any strange and tricky skills and has done its utmost to suppress them.

In order to achieve the goal of promoting Confucianism as the only doctrine.

But Confucianism is now obsolete.

Mao Wenlong would not allow Confucianism to revive.

This does not mean that we should completely deny Confucianism or completely eliminate Confucianism.

That's unrealistic.

As long as Mao Wenlong can ensure his strength in other subjects, he can maintain his dominant position for a long time.

Don’t let Confucianism become a popular school of thought again.

Confucianism was not given any chance and other doctrines were once again completely suppressed.

Then the glory of Confucianism will be gone forever.

This has been proven in later generations.

Mao Wenlong naturally knew what to do...

……

As for Gongshu’s so-called guarantee.

This didn't make much sense to Mao Wenlong.

As long as Mao Wenlong can control absolute military power.

We have the power to completely push them into the abyss at any time.

Then the Gongshu clan would definitely not be able to cause any trouble, and Mao Wenlong naturally wouldn't have to worry too much.

After understanding the pros and cons.

Mao Wenlong readily agreed to the other party's conditions.

And they plan to build a scientific research institute in Beijing, the future political center.

Song Yingxing and others are responsible for studying various projects.

For example, Mao Wenlong proposed projects such as helicopters, steam engines, locomotives, railways, and industrial tri-acids.

It's up to them to implement it.

So Mao Wenlong and Song Yingxing continued their discussion.

The two parties reached a cooperation intention.

Next, we will take over Mao Wenlong and his men’s base camp, as well as part of the arsenal.

Move it to Beijing...

……

Wait until Song Yingxing left.

The chief of staff asked curiously, "Brother Wenlong, do you think the descendants of Gongshu still exist on our side?"

Mao Wenlong: "It is estimated that he is still there, but you will definitely not be able to find him. For example, if Song Yingxing did not show up himself, how could we know that he was the successor of Lu Ban?

In your area, various industries have been developed for decades. I guess the descendants of Lu Ban have already integrated into the relevant industries. Where can you find such people?"

Chief of Staff: "Is there no solution at all?"

Mao Wenlong: "You also heard our conversation just now. Judging from what Song Yingxing said, there must be other schools of thought that have been passed down to the present day just like them.

But those forces that have been passed down for thousands of years must have more tentacles than we imagined, and are hidden deeper than we think. You can't find them just because you want to!"

Chief of Staff: "That's a pity! If we can also cooperate with Lu Ban's descendants, we will definitely be able to develop faster..."

Mao Wenlong: "If I develop quickly, doesn't that mean you develop quickly?"

Chief of Staff: "That's true, hahahaha..."

Mao Wenlong and Chief of Staff Cang didn't know this at the time.

In fact, except for Lu Ban’s descendants.

Other schools of thought among the pre-Qin philosophers.

Someone else is ready to cooperate with Mao Wenlong...
