Chapter 66 This is called! Capitalism!
One hundred meters!
The carriage traveled a full hundred meters!
Ma Chi also ran 100 meters, panting heavily!
Until the carriage started to accelerate.
He finally stopped, bowed, and respectfully watched the carriage disappear at the end of the street!
After a long while, he straightened up and wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve.
Several of his trusted officers and soldiers behind him shouted loudly, their faces full of admiration!
"Boss! That's awesome!"
"Boss! That was brilliant!"
"This time, not only are we safe, we'll probably get promoted!"
One of the officers gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed sincerely:
"I bet that in the entire Qin Dynasty, when it comes to flattery, if the boss says he's second, nobody dares to say they're first!"
"Boss, we'll definitely succeed!"
……
Inside the carriage.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Fusu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, restless and uneasy.
He finally couldn't hold back any longer and anxiously asked Zhang Fan, who was resting with his eyes closed:
"Teacher! Why did you do this?!"
"That's the mechanical art passed down through the Mohist school for centuries!"
"If...if something were to happen to you, your reputation..."
Ying Yinman, who was standing to the side, did not say anything.
But those clear, beautiful eyes were also fixed on Zhang Fan.
They were filled with the same curiosity!
Zhang Fan slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were calm and unfathomable.
Instead of answering directly, he asked in return:
"We're going to mine for minerals and build blast furnaces for steelmaking. What's the thing we lack most?"
Fusu was taken aback, and subconsciously said:
"people?"
"No, he's a talent."
Zhang Fan shook his head, then turned his gaze to Fusu and asked:
"Do you have money?"
Although Fusu was puzzled, he still nodded honestly:
"I...have some savings."
Zhang Fan smiled.
"How many people can you hire? A thousand? Ten thousand?"
"Can you afford to hire a group of top-notch craftsmen who are skilled in mechanical engineering and have a strong work ethic?"
boom!
Fusu fell silent instantly.
His face turned bright red!
His meager savings were nothing compared to the massive infrastructure projects of the Qin Dynasty!
Seeing Fusu speechless.
A sinister smile crept onto Zhang Fan's lips!
"These Mohists are tough and stubborn!"
"But they have a natural love for technology, don't they?"
"The most crucial thing is!"
Zhang Fan lowered his voice!
"If we win, they're ours!"
"Not only will they work for us for free!"
"When the time comes, I'll have them research blast furnaces and modify mine cars, and they'll have to kneel down and thank us!"
"Because they were given the opportunity to 'investigate things'!"
"Believe it or not!"
"Once these people get to work, they're even more efficient than donkeys pulling a millstone!"
boom!!!
These words struck Fusu and Ying Yinman like a hammer blow!
The two of them were completely dumbfounded!
They were stunned, as if struck by lightning!
My mind went completely blank!
ruthless!
Too bad!
This is a trap to swallow up someone else's century-old business!
Then turn everyone into his servants!
And these servants should be grateful!
They thought it was a battle of honor!
In Zhang Fan's eyes, this was nothing more than a trap set up to recruit free craftsmen.
This moment!
The way they looked at Zhang Fan changed!
Not respect!
It's fear!
Fear that seeps into your very bones!
It is the fear of this kind of wisdom, this kind of calculation!
Fusu's lips trembled, and his voice was dry:
"Teacher... what kind of doctrine is this?"
"This plan is not the art of rulership, nor does it belong to the schools of thought of the Hundred Schools of Thought... I have never heard of it before!"
Seeing the two people's shocked expressions, Zhang Fan smiled and said calmly:
"That's what you call a capitalist."
Fusu and Ying Yinman were instantly stunned!
capitalist?
They had heard of Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism...
They had heard of all the schools of thought in the world.
Can……
What kind of family are capitalists?
Fusu couldn't help but ask again:
"Teacher, what is... a capitalist?"
A meaningful smile curved at the corners of Zhang Fan's mouth.
He looked out the window, his eyes so deep they seemed to see through the ages.
Instead of answering directly, he asked in return:
"Want to know?"
Before Fusu could respond, he said leisurely:
"After we win the day after tomorrow!"
"I'll give you a live demonstration!"
……
Upon returning to the palace, Zhang Fan did not linger at all.
He stormed straight into the Institute of Physics.
With a "bang," he slammed the heavy bronze door shut behind him!
then.
He took his phone out of his pocket.
Without hesitation, he dialed Zhu Feng's number directly!
The call connected instantly!
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Feng's extremely solemn voice immediately came through.
"Comrade Zhang Fan! What happened?!"
A smile appeared on Zhang Fan's lips!
"Commander, I am prepared to... incorporate the entire Mohist school."
then.
Zhang Fan briefly recounted what had just happened.
On the other end of the phone was the highest command center of Bureau 749.
The moment Zhang Fan's voice came through the speaker.
The entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
All the staff members froze in their tracks.
His eyes were glued to the main screen!
Dead!
It lasted for a full three seconds!
next second!
boom!!!
The entire command center was completely in chaos!
"Holy crap?! Am I hallucinating?! He just said... to incorporate the entire Mohist school?!"
"The Mohist school, the one that created mechanical birds and beasts?! A technologically advanced organization from two thousand years ago?!"
"Damn it! Trying to outmaneuver the leader of the Mohist school with mechanical engineering?! Isn't that like piloting a Gundam to attack a kindergarten?!"
"Awesome! That's fucking awesome! Just thinking about it makes my DNA tremble!"
"Using our 21st-century technology to crush the pinnacle of the Bronze Age! That's absolutely insane!"
"This could change history again!"
"What a pity! This is a top-secret mission!"
"Otherwise, I'd really like to fucking do a global live stream! Let the whole world see what true technological domination looks like!"
Inside the command center, everyone had completely gone mad!
Their eyes gleamed with fanaticism!
win?
This issue was simply not within their consideration!
Their focus is on how to win!
How can we keep pressing the faces of those old fogies from the Mohist school to the ground and rubbing them repeatedly?
On the other end of the phone.
Zhu Feng's hand holding the microphone was trembling violently!
He took a deep breath, then another, but still couldn't calm his surging emotions!
He gave the order to his deputy!
"Immediately! With the highest authority!"
"Including several leading figures from the Chinese Academy of Sciences responsible for precision mechanics and power systems!"
"Bring them over from their classified unit immediately!"
"besides!"
"Bring over the chief engineer from the military industrial group responsible for the latest generation of exoskeletons and individual soldier powered arms!"
"Tell them!"
"This is the highest-level—top-secret mission in the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Sign a top-secret agreement and depart immediately!"
"We're going to fight a war that spans two thousand years..."
Zhu Feng paused, then a terrifying glint flashed in his eyes!
"...A war of technological crushing power!"
