Mohist Tang

“Chancellor Mo is here!”

With the loud announcement of a guard, Mo Dun stepped up to the Tai Chi Hall, his face unchanged. Among the ministers in Entire Court,

“this small official See your Majesty!”

Mo Dun walked to the ministers and bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, moved towards Yu Zhining said: “For Minister, Chancellor Mo has arrived. If you have any questions, just ask!”

For the beautifully constructed Mo Dun The house is Princess Changles new house, but he is full of flavours. From a fathers point of view, the son-in-law is so sincerely happy with his daughter, but as an emperor, he has banned the luxury of the Imperial Court three or five times. But they had to set an example.

“Excuse me, Chancellor Mo, are you building a three-storey new house?” Yu Zhining shouted.

Mo Dun nodded said: “Yes, it’s true. This small official new house is for the big wedding in January. It is three storeys high and about 30 feet. It has not exceeded the system.”

numerous officials have been nodded. The three zhang highs are indeed not exceeded. The entire Tai Chi Hall is about six feet high. Not to mention the streets of Chang’an City, the buildings of the three zhang highs are also everywhere. Yes.

Yu Zhining asked again: “Although it has not exceeded the regulations, whether steel is used, Cement refined by Daoist School alchemy, and the porcelain produced by Xing kiln in Hebei Province is already a square meter of glass.”

Mo Dun without the slightest hesitation admitted: “But there is such a thing!”

The Entire Court officials heard Mo Dun admit that they were in an uproar. Steel, porcelain, and glass are all Chang ‘an City is an extremely expensive item on the market, not to mention the Cement extracted from Daoist School’s alchemy, which is very valuable.

“reporting to Your Majesty, Chancellor Mo was in vain as a royal relative. In order to cling to the princess, the construction of a wedding house was extremely extravagant. This trend should not rise. If everyone follows suit, wouldn’t it be a recurrence of the arrogance and prostitution? Please also think twice about Your Majesty.” Yu Zhining bowed.

Li Shimin expressionless, turned his head and looked towards Mo Dun and said: “Mo Dun, what can you do to defend yourself?”

Mo Dun said with a sneer: “The former Lord Quan was The upper memorial said that I was afraid that the princess would be wronged. I am not used to living away from the Imperial Palace. I am worried that I would be wronged in this small official’s home. Now, what should I say, according to Lord Quan, how do you need to build a house to make you satisfied when marrying a princess?”

Many prostitutes and the Imperial Familys Important Ministers still remember Quan Wanji. If you see Yu Zhinings memorial now, you cant help being frowned. The wind direction of the Imperial Censor will fall here for a while, and then for a while. When their aunt marries the princess, Im afraid it will be the same. Today is generally difficult to do, if the repair is done, Imperial Censor Impeach, if the repair is not good, the princess is dissatisfied, it is a dilemma.

Yu Zhining stubbornly said: “Its not wrong for Lord Quan to worry about the princess. The officer monitors you for your extravagant style and loyalty. How can you confuse it. But your new house is more than a luxury. A house costs thousands of dollars, I am afraid that the entire Chang’an City can’t find such an expensive house!”

Even Li Shimin can’t help being frowned. The cost of a house is thousands of dollars, Im afraid Even the construction of an Imperial Palace could not cost such money, and Mo Dun did a little too much.

Mo Dun looked at Yu Zhining curiously, with a look of surprise: “Who told you that I spent thousands of times building it.”

Yu Zhining coldly snorted and said “It has been listed in the Confucian Journal one after another. The materials used in your new house are extremely luxurious. First of all, if you talk about steel, you have to spend at least 5000 Jin steel. Steel is a national weapon. It is not enough to make swords for frontline soldiers. And you buried it in the wall. It is more than a luxury and a waste. What can you say about this.”

Mo Dun suddenly realized: “You said it is steel! It is more than 5000 Jin, which is a full eight thousand catties of steel, which are all produced by our own workshops. Just use it and use not at all to spend money!”

“Homemade!”

“No money!”

_________

Everyone was taken aback, and they stopped talking about Mo Dun’s fallacy, even Li Shimin was not only taken aback, but also seemed to make sense! What money can I talk about with my own stuff!

Yu Zhining suddenly rose in the mind with a mouthful of blood. He did not expect that Mo Dun would not calculate the price of steel on the market, but as if he had no wood to build his own house, he cut down a tree of his own. It’s that simple.

“Do you know the market price of Mohist Family steel essence, how much is the value of eight thousand catties of steel?” Yu Zhining angrily roared.

Mo Dun waved his hand indifferently and said: “I care how much it is on the market. I started in Mohist Village by work. The steel produced is just like the grain smashed by farmers. Is it because the price of grain is high? , Can’t you even eat your own food?”

Suddenly many courtiers couldn’t help laughing. Cheng Yaojin was the one who laughed the most and couldn’t help but moved towards Mo Dun and gave a thumbs up.

Mo Dun’s remarks are not rough. It’s nonsense that you can’t use the things produced by your own family. So Yu Zhining is indeed a little nosy.

Yu Zhining’s face flushed angrily roared: “Are you using it yourself? Eight thousand gold steels are buried in the wall by you. What a waste, what’s Chancellor Mo’s defense?”

Mo Dun just pretended to say suddenly: “You said so! Since A certain Mohist saw Prince of Wei crack the secret of Earth Dragon’s turning over last year, the youngster is always worried, just in case Chang’an What to do when City really encounters Earth Dragon turning over? A certain Mohist doesnt matter. If the princess is put in danger, it will be blamed for all deaths. This eight thousand catties of steel is used as a bone, even if Earth Dragon turns over. It can ensure the safety of the new house.”

The Entire Court officials couldnt help but move in their hearts. Although its a rare encounter for Earth Dragon to turn over, no one can guarantee that he will not encounter it. If he owns such a strong house, then Dont you sit back and relax?

Yu Zhining looked helplessly at Mo Duns bullshit. The Earth Dragon turned over is how many years its not met once, how can it appear in Changan City so coincidentally, how can this era The consciousness of shockproof, in his opinion, Mo Dun is purely nonsense that’s all.

Mo Dun jokingly glanced at Yu Zhining and said: “As for the waste you mentioned, it is even more nonsense. The steel bars bought into Cement will not rust at all. After 80 years, if The house was renovated and broken open again. The steel bars inside were still intact. It was still a good piece of steel. How could it be wasted.”

“Hundred 80 years?” Many Ministers of Ministry of Works couldn’t help but secretly. Nodded, Mohist Family Son uses real materials. In their opinion, once the new house is completed, it is not a problem to support 100 80 years. There are not many houses on the market that can support 100 80 years. There are also merits.

In an instant, many ministers were shocked. The new-style houses built by Mohist Family Son were safe, sturdy, and durable. They couldnt be more perfect. Many people began to figure out whether they would give it to them in the future. Build a house by myself.

Even Li Shimin couldn’t help but flash his eyes. For the Imperial Family, the two words security seem to have a special meaning. The new house built by Mo Dun is as safe as a fortress.

Yu Zhining suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Mohist Family Son was a catfish, and he didnt keep his hands. Originally he was Impeach Mohist Family Son, but unconsciously he became Mohist Family Sons new house. The propaganda meeting was over, and he obviously felt that many ministers were moved after hearing Mohist Family Sons explanation.

He originally wanted to ban this unhealthy trend, but he didn’t expect that more and more ministers would be moved. If he wanted to own such a house, there was no reason for it.

So he began to decide not to entangle Mo Dun on the steel bars, but to shift the attack point to the ceramic tiles. This was produced by Xingyao in Hebei Province, not by the Mohist Family’s own workshop! And the porcelain is also extremely expensive, he doesn’t believe that Mohist Family Son can justify nonsense.

“You mean ceramic tiles! There are two types of ceramic tiles, one is to be affixed to the wall to be beautiful. From a distance, it looks like a white jade and it looks very beautiful, and it can also prevent the house from being scorched. and drenched by sun and rain, one is attached to the floor inside the house, smooth as a mirror, even a trace of dust can be seen. Mo Dun said with a puzzled face.

“Paste it on the ground!” Yu Zhining felt that his IQ had been insulted. The porcelain was as white as jade, and most of them were used as utensils, tea sets, dishes, and Mohist Family Son didn’t just stick it. On the wall, the manufacture was made into tiles and stuck in the house for people to step on.

Li Shimin couldn’t help but have a headache. He was deeply speechless about Mo Dun pegasus’ thoughts of being empty, paving the road with bricks and paving the house with porcelain. Is there still Mo Dun who dare not step under his feet in this world?

Other ministers were also stunned. They couldnt think of what kind of experience it was to cover the house with porcelain, but after thinking about it, it must be an extreme enjoyment. Many adults are A rich family background, I can’t help but sigh, or Mohist Family Son will enjoy it.

“Put the wall with porcelain, pave the roof, Mohist Family Son, you are simply a luxury and crazy.” Yu Zhining’s face flushed red and angrily roared, I don’t know if he is angry or thinks he has seized Mo Dun’s excitement. Tao.

“By the way, these tiles did not pay for them. Mohist Technology, which provided manufacturers of ceramic tiles for Xingyao in Hebei Province, and Mohist Village also manufactured machinery for pressing porcelain, which happened to be used to offset the accounts. “Mo Dun said lightly.

Hebei Xing kiln is a famous official kiln of Great Tang. Naturally, it cannot be said that there is no money. However, Mohist Village proposes to pay for the goods. Naturally, Hebei Xing kiln is 10,000 willing.

Yu Zhining is extremely depressed. According to Mo Dun’s theory, I am afraid that he will have to exchange his own machinery without spending money.

“A square meter of glass?”

“Homemade.”

“Where is the Cement refined by Daoist School alchemy?”

“The two are cooperating.”

_______

The more Yu Zhining asks, the more he gets angry, the glass is also produced by himself, and Cement is The Mohist family co-produced and even the worker who built the house was the brother of Mohist Family Son. According to Mo Dun, he only bought some bricks for a little money to build such a luxurious new house.

“My lord, as expected, bright vision like a torch, youngster spent five ounces of money to buy back so many bricks, and they are all cheap red bricks. A lot of money is required, but unfortunately the youngster only earns a meager salary from the Sixth Rank, and he failed to allow Her Highness the Princess to live in a brick house. It is really ashamed of Your Majesty’s love.” Mo Dun said with ashamed.

The Minister of Entire Court watched Mo Dun’s performance speechlessly. The bricks are worth much, and I am afraid that I can buy as many bricks with just a piece of glass.

Yu Zhining suddenly became dizzy with anger. Fortunately, he was much younger than Quan Wanji, so he didn’t make a fool of himself on the spot.

Even Li Shimin can’t stand it a bit, coldly said: “putting it that way, should I give you some salary increase.”

Mo Dun immediately said with a smile: “No, no. After Captain Prince Consort takes office, he will be in the Fifth Rank. At that time, the salary should be enough.”

Li Shimin coldly snorted and said: “Since You didnt spend much money on building the house. I thought that because of your eagerness to get married, I will spare you this time.”

Now the Mo Dun house is also built, Princess Changles The wedding date is also approaching, can Li Shimin still demolish the house, when the time comes Princess Changle where will we get married? Now that Mo Dun has justified his claim, Li Shimin just borrowed the donkey from the slope.

“Your Majesty, this wind must not rise! Today Your Majesty does not severely punish Mohist Family Son. In time, Great Tang will rush to follow suit and everyone will build these houses!” Yu Zhining screamed, one The deputy worried about the country and the people was impassioned.

Other Imperial Censors also went out to persuade them, and the entire Tai Chi Hall suddenly fell silent.

Mo Dun was angry when he saw this, and suddenly bowed and said: “Replying to his Majesty, the minister has a word, willing to argue for himself.”

Li Shimin took a deep breath, Suppressing the anger in the center, said resolutely: “Speak!”

Mo Dun got up and looked around the imposing Imperial Censor civilians and said: “During the ancestors, the people were undressed and people often wore Animal skin and linen, when the first person put silk on his body, was it a luxury; the ancestors were mostly caveman, when the first ancestor walked out of the cave, was it a luxury to build a wood house for himself? Later, the wood house changed Is it a luxury to become a brick house? It doesnt seem to be right now, but since then more and more people have put on silk, and more and more people have lived in wood houses, brick houses, and no more No one thinks this is an extravagant behavior.”

Many important ministers are nodded looking thoughtful.

Mo Dun continued: “And this three-story reinforced Cement building built by A certain Mohist is not the first wood house, the first brick house, and the first piece of silk. A house is a home. People want to live in a safe, spacious and comfortable home. This house cant be washed out by water, wont be damaged by fire, wont collapse in an earthquake, keep warm in winter, and cool in summer, even if its cloudy, the house is still open. Translucent Hall, no one wants to own a house like this.”

After Mo Dun finished speaking, almost all the ministers were silent for a while, and many ministers who had experienced poverty could not help but sigh for having such a bright house. , I am afraid it is the dream of all poor people.

“A certain Mohist is going to get married and start a family. I need to build a strong and beautiful house as a new house, and this house is the best house I can build. No extravagance. Waste, use gold and silver jade stone, silk satin, precious woods, second, there is no widely occupied mansion, the land used is only 30% of the size of Tai Chi Hall, not to say that I built it to marry the princess, even if I married it For a pretty daughter in a humble family, I will also build such a house to make her live like a princess. Mo Dun said boldly.

Li Shimin agrees with the nodded, and I cant help feeling a little relieved. Princess Changle has not misunderstood the person. Mohist Family Son is indeed a good match.

“You think that A certain Mohist is luxury, but A certain Mohist thinks that he has created a new way of building. Just like the first person to build a wood house, it is not luxury, but To make life better for his family, A certain Mohist can mass produce all the materials for building a new house. Over time, these Cement reinforced houses are like bricks, tiles and wooden houses, spread all over Great Tang, no more fire The hidden dangers of a few streets, no longer worry about termites eating wood, and no risk of house collapse. This is not a youngster’s rhetoric, but one day it will come true. You will find out how ridiculous the accusations are today.” Mo Dun coldly snorted and said.

“This is just your idea, that’s all for your extravagance!” Yu Zhining strongly argued.

Mo Dun even looked aside Yu Zhining coldly and said: “The purpose of the Hundred Schools of Thought controversy is to make the people of the world live better, not to criticize an attempt that should be beneficial to the world. , Blocked in a disguised form, your Road of the Saint has gone astray.”

“Yu Zhining is so irresistible, he even rants, talk about the Road of the Saint!” Yu Zhining was very excited. Angry, scolded Mo Dun.

He has always thought of himself as a great Confucian. He has reached the pinnacle of Confucianism, but he was accused of Road of the Saint by Mo Dun. How could he bear it?

“On the second day of February, at the Mohist Technology Exhibition outside the south city gate, youngster is waiting for the adults to listen to the Mohist Family Road of the Saint.” Mo Dun solemnly said, and handed over a ticket.

“Okay, then Yu will definitely come to the door personally!” Yu Zhining gnashing teeth said.

At this point, the original reason for Impeach Mo Dun became a laughing stock, and naturally no one mentioned it. Yu Zhining originally thought that even Li Shimin would favor Mohist Family Son in order to take care of Princess Changle. Make compensation for his outspoken advice.

However, under the sharp rhetoric of Mohist Family Son, he has become a silly villain. This time, he deeply realized the difficulties of Quan Wanji, and Mohist Family Son was so difficult.
