Mohist Tang

“My way is not alone.”

With the help of Socrates wisdom, the new issue of Mohist Periodical is sold out directly, which makes Mo Duns heart a little bit I am a little relieved, it seems that there are not many real scholars in Great Tang,

However, the first issue of Mohist Periodical can only publish a small part of Socrates’ knowledge. Due to the limited space, it can only stop abruptly. If you want to read it again, you can only wait until the next issue in half a month.

For the learned person, a Sage-like knowledge of great wisdom is right by his side, just like Court Eunuch on the brothel, itchy.

For the ordinary person, it is natural to have to wait hard, but Li Shimin can’t be at all so patient, so he comes straight to the door.

“reporting to Your Majesty, this is already the latest.” Mo Dun reluctantly handed the latest translated manuscript to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin impatient brought it over, and read it with keen interest pleasure.

Mo Dun smiled helplessly, and was speechless to Li Shimin, who was a fan of the second change.

After a long time, Li Shimin sighed in satisfaction and put down the translation in his hand.

“Hate could not be born in that era.” Li Shimin sighed after a long aftertaste.

He was naturally aware of the peculiarities of the Hundred Schools of Thought in that era. If only the characters of Hundred Schools of Thought appeared in China, they were created by the times.

However, in countries other than ten thousand li, there are also figures comparable to the sons of Hundred Schools of Thought in the same era. Such an amazing coincidence makes people think deeply.

For the emperor, even the best knowledge is just a tool for him. What he really cares about is the seeds in Mo Dun’s hands. For him, no matter how great knowledge is No seeds that can change the people’s livelihood are important.

In the other courtyard of Mohist Residence, Mo Dun accompanied Li Shimin in. He saw the seed that Su Lingnong was watching cautiously in front of him. He did not notice Li Shimin coming in.

“Your Majesty, why are you here?” It wasn’t until Li Shimin came close that Su Lingnong suddenly noticed and said in surprise.

“Minister of Agriculture has not been Attending the Imperial court for a long time, I am not concerned about it, I came here to take a look.” Li Shimin teased.

Su Lingnong suddenly Hao Ran, he has been obsessed with these new seeds these few days, and has ignored external affairs at all. The Minister of Agriculture position has long been abandoned.

“This old official delayed government affairs, please also Your Majesty forgive me!” Su Lingnong said.

“Minister of Agriculture experimenting with new species is the duty of Minister of Agriculture. What’s the crime?” Li Shimin said with a smile, walked to the seed that Su Lingnong just observed, and faced One after another pile of seeds with keen interest pleasure.

“reporting to Your Majesty, this is the seed of spinach. This dish is not uncommon in Persia and other places. This small official has asked many Western Regions merchants, including Great Rome merchants, to confirm Persia and other places. There are vegetables that can be eaten in winter, Su Lingnong explained, pointing to the spinach seeds.

“It’s so good!” Li Shimin said joyfully, other Foreign Merchants confirmed that this dish is at least confirmed. Although spinach is a small dish, it makes up for the biggest shortcoming of Great Tang in winter. There is a shortage of green vegetables.

If it can be popularized, it will definitely be of great benefit to Great Tang. Even if it fails this time, after knowing this news, it will only take a little more work to get more spinach seeds.

“When will this thing be tested?” Li Shimin asked.

“Your Majesty, according to Persian Foreign Merchant, spinach seeds are germination in autumn and eaten in winter. Sowing time is after autumn harvest.” Su Lingnong replied.

“It’s a pity that the season is wrong!” Li Shimin sighed. It is just after summer and there is still some time before the autumn harvest.

“After the autumn harvest, once the trial planting is successful, I will not hesitate to reward myself.” Li Shimin said boldly.

“This small official dare not take credit, this is the credit of Lord Marquis Mo!” Su Lingnong evaded, but Mo Dun bought these seeds with a lot of money, and he also sent them to others.

“If Your Majesty wants to be rewarded, forget the others, let’s reward more gold ingots! This small official this time is a big loss and owes a lot of gold.” Mo Dun said with a sad face , Bank is too ruthless, exchange copper money for gold is like picking up a layer of skin.

“I saw with my own eyes that you are very chic on the stage, spending money like the earth, why at this time crying poor!” Li Shimin glared at Mo Dun, so many gold ingots spilled out, I saw him All distressed.

“This small official isn’t this small official planting sycamore wood and attracting golden Phoenix? These foreign merchants come not far from ten thousand li, all for money, without the temptation of heavy money, these people probably even Look will not take a look.” Mo Dun helplessly said.

“Spinach seeds are okay, this kind of benefits the country and the people, how do you explain Bai Diezi? You actually spent 20 gold on such luxury items.” Li Shimin suddenly hate iron for Not becoming steel said.

Although he knows Mo Dun’s intention to spend so much money, he obviously hates Mo Dun’s lavishness and gnash the teeth, even he himself has never squandered it like this.

Su Lingnong also couldn’t help but twitch. In his opinion, Bai Diezi, which can only be manufactured as a luxury item, is more important than the spinach seeds that make people eat green vegetables in winter. Mohist Family Son It was bought at double the price.

Mo Dun a clenching one’s teeth and said: “Your Majesty, if you talk about other seeds, this small official can’t guarantee it, but Bai Diezi, this small official can now prove its value.”

“Really?” Li Shimin said suspiciously,

Even Su Lingnong looked at Mo Dun in surprise. According to Gaochang merchants, it has already passed the planting of Baidizi. In season, how does Mo Dun prove?

In the eyes of the two of them puzzled, seeing Mo Dun rushing over to take a swollen package, Mo Dun opened it and presented it in front of Li Shimin.

“This is a cloth quilt?” Su Lingnong asked. The cloth quilt is a cloth used by the people of Great Tang. It is usually made of hemp and kudzu, while the rich people call it Jin quilt. Made of silk manufacture, of course the price is very expensive.

Mo Dun shook his head and said, “This is a cotton quilt.”

“A cotton quilt?” Li Shimin and Su Lingnong were suddenly confused.

“The cloth quilt has been cold like iron for many years, and the Jiaoer lie down and crack. Mohist Village has come from the poor all the way, even this small official year was a cloth quilt for many years. Every winter can be described as a long night. It’s hard…”

“Let’s talk about the point!” Li Shimin hates Mo Dun, who intends to complain endlessly. This youngster does not forget to show his talent even when complaining.

Mo Dun immediately said: “Cotton is the product of the seeds of the white dice, extremely soft and warm to the touch. After this small official got the seeds, he accidentally discovered the benefits of cotton, so he filled it with cotton. Among the cloth quilts, the manufacture becomes a cotton quilt, which is extremely light and extremely warm. With this cotton quilt, the people will never have to worry about freezing in winter night.”

Mo Dun gets the white quilt. After the seeds, I remembered the benefits of cotton, so I bought all the cotton from Gaochang Foreign Merchant and made a bed of cotton pads for myself.

This is the common quilt in later generations.
