My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 547 - 354 Mohist Improvement_2

Until encountering a barrier, it finally stopped.

One more step forward, and he would be a Mohist Grandmaster!

The cultivation growth was not only for Li Yun.

Within Li Nuo, the Mohist True Qi also advanced swiftly, easily breaking through the Second Realm, Third Realm, and Fourth Realm, stopping only at the Fourth Realm Peak.

Li Yun stared at Li Nuo, utterly dumbfounded.

The extent of the cultivation increase far exceeded his expectations.

He pressed his lips together, incredulously asking: "What, what did we do, why is this happening?"

It's just a Mechanical Carriage, why did his cultivation increase so much?

Li Nuo, in an instant, increased by a full three major realms of cultivation, equivalent to ten years of his arduous cultivation...

Li Yun looked down at the Mechanical Carriage.

At this moment, even if he was slow, he realized that this might not be as simple as a Mechanical Carriage...

He looked at Li Nuo and asked: "This kind of mechanism, it can replace carriages, it can be used in farming, weaving, construction..., it can replace a lot of manpower, do so many things, is this what you mentioned, the broad path of the Mohist?"

Li Nuo nodded.

Actually, whether it's the Medical School, the Mohist, or the Agricultural School, their own abilities exceed the scope of scientific explanation, but this power is in the hands of only a few.

What Li Nuo was doing was allowing ordinary people to heal without the True Qi of the Medical School, to control mechanisms without the True Qi of the Mohist, and to grow more food without the True Qi of the Agricultural School.

Among these, undoubtedly, the one that can change the world the most is the Mohist.

Once steam engines are applied on a large scale, it will bring Daxia and even the entire continent into a new era ahead of time.

Li Yun was so excited he couldn't help but say: "If we spread it, won't Daxia welcome a new era belonging to the Mohist?"

This time, Li Nuo did not confirm him.

Daxia currently does not have the groundwork for an industrial revolution, nor the premise to enter a new era.

The current people of Daxia are still at a stage where they can't even eat enough.

If, at this time, we forcibly push productivity progress using a lot of machinery to replace manpower, not only will the people not have a good life, but they will also go from not having enough to eat to having nothing to eat.

History has already proven that technological change and scientific progress do not necessarily lead to social progress.

If the overall social system is not changed, the core contradictions of society not resolved, each advancement of technology will lead to further concentration of resources, making the poor poorer and the rich richer.

This is something that cannot be changed no matter how many technological revolutions occur.

By then, it would merely be that those exploited and oppressed would change from farmers to workers.

Technology has advanced, but the people are still suffering.

At that time, the famous families, as beneficiaries, will become even more troublesome than they are now.

This is not the purpose of Li Nuo, nor is it the goal of the Confucian School.

Thus, in Zhao Country, Li Nuo did not guide them on this path.

Another important reason is, once the door of reform of the Mohist is opened, the result cannot be controlled by them.

The Mohist has an extremely keen sense in this area, and Li Nuo had already seen this in Li Yun.

Once this door is opened for them, those high realm Mohist masters might enter the Sixth Realm or even the Seventh Realm faster than them, and in Daxia, those capable of cultivating the Mohist arts are bound to be powerful families.

Before having absolute power, doing so would be cutting off their own path.

The only drawback is, if they only research on their own and don't use these new theories to benefit the people and promote the entire Mohist's reform and progress, the cultivation improvement will be much slower, but this is a choice that must be made after weighing the pros and cons.

Li Nuo patted Li Yun on the shoulder and said: "After returning to the King Mansion, immediately destroy this carriage, and the blueprints, destroy them as well, leave no traces..."

Li Yun paused in confusion and asked: "Why?"

He was still hoping to spread these things out, using them to break through to the Fifth Realm, or even the Sixth Realm.

He looked at the woman beside him, for at that time, he would be able to give Qingqing a perfect body...

Li Nuo said: "Now is not the time for it to appear, don't worry, besides these, I have many other things to help you cultivate, I won't let you idle..."

Li Nuo looked at him, seeing that he was not joking, and could only nod: "Alright..."

Returning to the King Chun Mansion, Li Yun had already calmed down from his excitement.

He sighed gently; although he didn't understand why Li Nuo wanted to do so, he still decided to listen to him.

Destroying the treasure they both painstakingly created, when facing that pile of blueprints, he didn't throw them into the fire immediately.

After all, it's his hard work, so at least let him admire them twice more.

He held Qingqing's hand, sending a strand of Mohist True Qi into her body, and said: "I'll go eat first, guard here, don't let anyone else in..."

The woman stiffly nodded and stood before the desk.

Li Yun gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek and turned away from the main hall.

Inside the main hall, the woman stood before the desk, her crystal-clear eyes suddenly moved.

Then, she slowly extended her hand, gently flipping through the blueprints on the table...

...

Chang'an.

Panic spread among the various Medical Halls.

Several shopkeepers at Jishi Hall were forcibly taken by the Ministry of Justice for sentencing; Jishi Hall was sealed off, and by the next day, it bore the sign of the National Medical Hall.

Meanwhile, all the medicinal materials in Jishi Hall's warehouse, as well as the medicine fields outside Chang'an, were confiscated and nationalized by the court. It is said that those shopkeepers would have to farm medicine for the court for ten years.

This robbery-like act shocked them all.

Although they escaped unscathed, they also received notification from the court.

The issue of raising the price of medicine last time, the court can overlook, but from now on, some basic medicinal materials cannot be sold beyond the price cap set by the court.

If they sell at the court's pricing, their profits would be very limited, profits that were once ten times or dozens of times, now reduced to less than one time.

The good news is, the court did not set a cap on consultation fees.

But the National Medical Hall only charges one hundred cents for seeing an Imperial Physician at the Fourth Realm; even if they also have imperial physicians at the Fourth Realm on staff, with a hundred-fold fee difference, even a fool would know where to seek medical care.

The court's actions completely disrupted this industry.

Various Medical Halls gradually received responses from their families.

The families instructed them to follow the court's law, reduce medicine prices and consultation fees, which means the great families compromised with the court on this matter.

After all, Daxia is Li Family's realm; in Chang'an, the various families still need to show some respect to the court.

The court only sealed the Wang family's Jishi Hall, which was also showing them respect, after all?

Fortunately, the court only regulated the medicine and consultation fees.

For those who come to these Medical Halls for treatment, there were hardly any poor people; those officials and dignitaries, who can endure the bitterness of decoctions, always spend heavily to invite high realm Medical School practitioners to heal them with True Qi.

This portion of the cost, the court allows them to set the price themselves.

But compared to before, they need to pay more taxes to the court.

They could only agree to this.

For many years, this is the first time the court used such unreasonable means, showing the determination of the three provinces for medical reform, and if they dared to obstruct, the fate of Jishi Hall would be their fate...

The people of Chang'an were delighted to discover that in just a few days, all the Medical Halls in Chang'an underwent a comprehensive price reduction.

At the National Medical Hall, the consultation fee is only ten cents.

While the consultation fees at places like Wounded-healing Hall and Bencao Hall are a bit more expensive, compared to before, they've been reduced to a fraction of their previous cost, affordable even for ordinary people.

For a time, long queues formed at the entrances of the various Medical Halls.

Ningxin Garden.

Within Li Nuo, the power of the Medical School quietly grew a bit more.

Jiaren and Anning were admiring flowers in the garden.

Taken by surprise, Li Nuo was secretly kissed by Yiren once more.

She now really likes to ambush him behind Anning and Jiaren's backs, especially when both are at home but not near them.

Li Nuo was just about to remind her that someone was approaching from afar when his expression suddenly froze.

Across the lake, although he couldn't see her face clearly, the enchanting and graceful figure, the swaying posture, exuding a unique charm with every step, made her identity unmistakable...

Song Yiren turned to glance back and immediately abandoned Li Nuo, flying straight across the lake with joy, saying: "Sister Phoenix!"
