Chapter 591

Xun Zi was very surprised.

Even though the Qin Guo had harsh laws and the people dared not not work, this was by no means the key factor in the increase in grain production.

"After the Zheng Guo Canal was completed, there were ten thousand hectares of fertile land in Guanzhong, but what truly changed all this was the agricultural tools manufactured by the Mohist School. The power of tools far exceeds the limit of human power. When a tool is running at full capacity, it is enough to be worth the hard work of dozens of people!"

"Technology is the primary productive force!"

"If we don't use too much manpower and material resources, we can easily obtain several times the harvest of the past. At this time, does Xun Zi still think that continuing to fight will bring a burden to the people?"

Xun Zi fell silent. After a long time, he spoke again, "Perhaps the Qin Guo has a way to solve the logistics problem of war, but I still don't think that the Qin Guo's system of valuing criminal law and slighting benevolence and virtue can last long."

"Therefore, this requires the Confucian school to change all this!"

Su Xuan said it as a matter of course.

"Since Xun Zi has seen the drawbacks of the Qin Guo, then go and change it! The Mohist School, for the sake of the people's livelihood, has created many agricultural tools, which have now increased the Qin Guo's grain production several times. Then what about the Confucian school? As another prominent school of the time, where is the Confucian school?"

Xun Zi was silent again. The Confucian school—the Confucian school had done nothing.

On this point, they were indeed not as good as the Mohist School.

Su Xuan asked Xun Zi another question, "What does Xun Zi think of paper?"

Xun Zi was stunned, then said his personal feelings, "It takes the strengths of both bamboo slips and cloth. If it can be promoted to the world, it can become a divine tool for education!"

"Since Xun Zi thinks the value of paper is so extraordinary, we have already provided you with tools, so your Confucian school should even more exert your strengths to educate the world and make the Qin Guo add a few points of benevolence and virtue!" **Chapter 593: Reason is Useless, the Strong are Respected! **
