After all, Mo Skills Exhibition was the most important thing for Meton to promote the School of Mo. Of course, it was not as simple as distributing flyers on the street. In addition, all the fresh fish stores in the Village of Mo put up eight very large slogans in front of their stores. Meton even spent a lot of money to rent some places in prominent positions.
"Keep pace with the times, open up and innovate!" These words could be seen in the most conspicuous places on every street in Chang 'an City. There was also a small line of words below, "Welcome to Mo Skills Exhibition."
Liu Yinian walked on the street of Chang 'an City. He looked up at the slogans in front of him and was shocked. This was the third slogans he had seen on his way here.
As a doctor from the Imperial College, Liu Yinian was not only highly accomplished in calligraphy, but also in literature. Even if he had not seen these words, he could feel the ambitious intention of the School of Mo just from the literal meaning.
The Book of Changes was harmful. It said that harming hardness and improving softness sometimes, and the gains and losses were full and empty.
The Book of Benefits was beneficial. It said that the benefits were boundless. Heaven and earth were born, and its benefits were boundless. The Way of Benefits was full of benefits.
However, the School of Mo directly summarized the essence of the Book of Changes. On the basis of full of benefits, the School of Mo put forward the idea of keeping pace with the times. What era was it now? It was the era of the Tang dynasty.
"This must be Mo Jiazi's idea." Liu Yinian knew that Meton was the only one in the School of Mo who had such talent.
What was more precious was the following four words, "open up and innovate." This was an unusual path that the School of Mo wanted to open up, a path that no one else had walked before.
"Imaging with small holes, carrying a thousand kilograms, talking across the city, and the secret skill of living fish. Now all the secrets of the School of Mo are on display. What on earth is the School of Mo trying to do?"
Liu Yinian looked at the flyer in his hand and was deeply puzzled.
Didn't the School of Mo know that a teacher would starve to death if he taught his disciple? Was this the School of Mo's final radiance of the setting sun, or did they have a bigger plan? Liu Yinian was full of doubts and hurried to the Imperial College.
There were actually quite a few professors who were like him. Each of them held a leaflet in their hands, and their faces were filled with confusion. Clearly, they were also shocked by the Mo Family's generosity.
Unlike the Imperial College students and the citizens of Chang 'an who were enjoying the show, the higher-ups of the Imperial College were all worried. They consciously gathered at the office of Kong Yingda, the Imperial Chancellor.
"Mo Jiazi is not simple!" Kong Yingda let out a long sigh, picked up the pen and signed the paper. The words "Keep pace with the times, develop and innovate" were imprinted deeply on the paper.
Shen Hongcai, who had a PhD in mathematics, smiled bitterly and said, "Just hearing these words makes my blood boil?"
The other professors looked unhappy and felt extremely uncomfortable. Even though they were on different sides, they had to admit that these words were indeed very talented. They couldn't help but feel jealous. Why wasn't such an outstanding student a Confucian disciple?
"In my opinion, Mo Jiazi is simply bluffing. The School of Mo's only trump card has been used up by him. When the time comes, the School of Mo's last trump card will be used up. I wonder what the ancestors of the School of Mo will think of him in the underworld?" Liu Yinian said in an unfriendly tone.
"Yes, in my opinion, Mo Jiazi is risking his life. The School of Mo has come to this point and only has one stronghold left. Rather than being half-dead, he might as well give it a try. It's reasonable for him to change the traditions of the School of Mo now." An assistant professor analyzed.
"Change comes from poverty, and change comes from success!" Kong Yingda looked at Meton's memorial to Li Shimin and nodded. "This is indeed Mo Jiazi's style. He is very bold and has a lot of ideas. I wonder if this move of his will be able to save the School of Mo!"
Kong Yingda sighed. The School of Mo and the Confucian School were both prominent schools of learning in the Pre-Qin Dynasty. Now that the School of Mo was almost extinct, he couldn't help but sigh.
"No matter what, Mo Jiazi's move will definitely have a negative impact on the Imperial College. What should we do then? Are we going to let the School of Mo continue to be so arrogant? "Liu Yinian said unhappily.
"What do you want? The Mo Family is announcing their family's secret in their own territory. Don't tell me you want to cause a ruckus, or do you want the Imperial College to hold an exhibition as well? "Kong Yingda scolded as he slammed the advertisement sheet on the table.
Liu Yinian's face immediately turned red. He didn't know what to say. Suddenly, his eyes focused and widened. He snatched the advertisement from Kong Yingda's hand and looked at it in disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Everyone was astonished.
"So that's how it is, that's how it is!" Liu Yinian ignored everyone and kept repeating this sentence as if he had gone mad.
"Liu Yinian!" Kong Yingda shouted angrily.
Liu Yinian suddenly woke up from his bewitched state and hurriedly said, "Lord Chancellor, please forgive me. I have been rude."
Liu Yinian unfolded the advertisement on Kong Yingda's table and took out another advertisement that looked exactly the same. He placed them side by side on the table.
"Lord Chancellor and my colleagues, please take a look. What's the difference between these two advertisement sheets?"
Kong Yingda and all the doctoral assistants looked at the two advertisement sheets and shook their heads. "There's nothing different. They are exactly the same!"
"Yes, they are exactly the same!" Liu Yinian gnashed his teeth and said. "And there's no difference at all!"
"There's no difference at all?" Everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked at the two advertisement sheets. They couldn't help but be shocked. Not only were the notes the same, but one of the two advertisement sheets had a little more ink. So much so that the other advertisement sheet had the same notes and used more ink in the same place.
"How is this possible?" Everyone couldn't help but gasp. They were all learned people and knew that it was impossible for the two advertisements to be exactly the same.
Shen Hongcai was suddenly stunned. He hurriedly took out another advertisement sheet and placed them side by side on the table. They were exactly the same.
Soon, the fourth advertisement sheet, the fifth advertisement sheet, and finally eight advertisement sheets that were exactly the same were placed neatly on the table.
"What's going on? How did the School of Mo do this? "Kong Yingda asked in surprise.
"This is nothing? I've seen something even more amazing. " Liu Yinian smiled bitterly and took out three thick piles of homework from his desk and distributed them to everyone one by one.
"There's no stroke, and they're all exactly the same?" Shen Hongcai was stunned.
The other Imperial College doctors were also stunned.
"Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, and Yuchi Baolin are all friends of Mo Jiazi. Their homework and the advertisement sheets of the School of Mo are exactly the same. Obviously, they were all made with the same method." Liu Yinian analyzed.
"According to what I saw, the Mo Family Village and every street in Chang 'an are distributing leaflets. At least a few thousand leaflets are distributed in a day. It's obvious that this method can quickly write the same content on a large number of papers." The more Shen Hongcai analyzed, the more excited he was. He said, "If this method is used to 'write' the Four Books and Five Classics, the students in the world won't need to copy books!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. This secret technique of the School of Mo was related to the responsibility of educating the people. It would definitely be recorded in history in the future.
