Mohist Tang

The night is quiet, and Chang’an City is silent, quiet and peaceful.

Outside Chang’an City, the lights keep blaring, in a frenzy.

When the sky slowly rises to grey dawn and the night recedes, the distant scenery slowly becomes clear.

The city gate guard yawned and looked far away. The night view in Chang’an City and the morning view outside Chang’an City are both rare enjoyment for city gate guards.

Suddenly, two city gate guards figure stopped, rubbing their eyes in disbelief, and saw an azure dragon on Chengnan Official Road meandering.

As the sky gets brighter, the line of sight becomes clearer. The two people gradually realized that this azure dragon was all paved with blue bricks.

I saw a cart of blue bricks as if they didnt need money, and pulled them over. The Mohist Family Son brothers tirelessly spread the blue bricks on the official road, and the azure dragon slowly The moved towards Chang’an City keeps approaching.

Soon, all the guards of the south city gate were alarmed, and they went on the city wall one after another. Seeing the scene outside the city, one by one suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

“Mohist Family Son, wasrel!” South city gate guard gnashing teeth said.

All the guards of the south city gate are nodded.

Every piece of blue brick needs money. Mohist Family Son spreads the blue bricks on the road, just like sprinkling a lot of money on the ground.

“Report immediately!”

The south city gate guard nodded and said solemnly. Although this matter is not within the scope of the south city gate guard’s authority, he still feels very much Must be reported.

“Yes!”

Immediately, a city gate guard took the lead, and ran down the city wall quickly, moving towards the Imperial Palace.

Also shocked are the to-and-fro merchants. The southern city gate has always been the gateway for merchants to enter and exit. They usually gather at the southern city gate and wait to enter Chang’an City.

And today, everyone is stunned to see that many Mohist Family Son brothers are constantly busy. As a businessman, their most valued profit, they can’t figure out how to build a road in Mohist Village, so regardless of the cost.

In order to avoid suspicion, Mo Dun specially left the official road within one mile south of the city unpaved when laying brick roads overnight. If it is already bright today, naturally, there is no need to shy away from laying the remaining one mile official road. .

Mohist Village is paving faster and faster. One mile official road is paved with full strength in Mohist Village, and soon it is approaching the south city gate.

As the first ray of sunlight shines on the south city gate, the last brick is finally completed and the brick road in the south is officially completed.

At the same time, the south city gate burst open.

The blue brick official road outside the city gate is connected to the wide and clean Vermilion Bird Avenue, like a perfect match, a natural pair.

“Hiss!”

The people in Chang’an City who were about to leave the city, saw the new brick road under their feet, all of them were amazed, and they felt unwilling to step down.

“This is the road that Mohist Family Son built!” Everyone looked at the azure brick road in shock, and it suddenly became the reason why Mohist Family took so much trouble to renovate the brick road.

Although Vermilion Bird Street is also paved with bricks, it is the most important street in Chang’an City, and in Chang’an City, everyone is not surprised.

However, Chengnan Official Road is the official road outside Chang’an City for pedestrians to walk on. It is too extravagant and wasteful to pave the road with blue bricks.

Soon, the news that Mohist Family Son paved the road with blue bricks spread throughout Chang’an City, and the whole Chang’an City suddenly became agitated.

“I said that Mohist Family Son took the initiative to build roads. It must be weird. As expected.”

“All the roads are made of blue bricks, so how many bricks should be needed? Block! How much would it cost!”

“Mohist Family Son, wasrel!” The same sigh rose in the hearts of everyone.

In Qin Manor.

Qin Huaiyu immediately jumped up when he heard Stewards report and waved with his hand excitedly: “I know, I know.”

Qin Huaiyu told Mo Dun knows very well. He knows that everything that Mo Dun takes the initiative to participate in, there will be exciting things. Originally, he saw Mo Dun building the official road very boring. After going there a few times, he didn’t go again. He didn’t expect to miss it. The most exciting part.

Qin Huaiyu jumped up and faced the steward instructed: “Immediately go to Cheng Mansion and Yuchi Mansion, invite two Young Masters, and say I am waiting for him at Chengnan Guandao.”

After speaking, I jumped on the horse, moved towards the south of the city and flew away.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Qin Huaiyu. In an instant, Chang’an City was dispatched all over the city and flocked to Chengnan Official Road, witnessing the prodigal behavior of Mohist Family Son.

In the Tai Chi Hall, the Imperial Court Great Assembly is underway.

“reporting to Your Majesty! Most of the earth dams in the Guanlong area have been completed. The control of the Yellow River sediment will surely play a miraculous effect when the rainy season comes next year.” Zhangsun Wuji reported.

Li Shimin was satisfied and nodded, in the management of the Yellow River Engineering Project, earth dams are the top priority, and it is not expensive.

Following the Ministry of Works departments also presented good news one after another, the whole scene was harmonious, and the monarch and the ministers each other.

Suddenly, Pang De suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words beside Li Shimin.

“Really?” Li Shimin suddenly complexion changed and said in surprise.

“The south guard is outside the Imperial Palace. Your Majesty can summon it personally.” Pang De affirmed.

Seeing this scene, Zhangsun Wuji couldnt help but ask: “Your Majesty, but what’s going on?”

Li Shimin’s face was gloomy and uncertain and said: “Just now there was a report from the Seongnam Guardian. , The youngster of the Mohist Family actually used blue bricks to pave the road.”

“Blue bricks paving the road?”

The courtiers were suddenly puzzled. They also had brick roads in their homes, but Not easy to use, most of them use bluestone or gravel roads.

Qin Qiong hurriedly stepped forward and argued: “Dont blame His Imperial Majesty, its not uncommon to pave roads with blue bricks, this small official home…”

Qin Qiong hasnt finished saying , I heard Li Shimin gnashing teeth say: “He is not laying on his own mansion, but covering the entire official road.”

“The entire official road is covered.”

Suddenly the Entire Court artifacts were stunned there.

“It’s like Vermilion Bird Street.” Li Shimin added another sentence.

“Mo Dun this wasrel!” Angrily roared by Qin Qiong involuntarily.

The monarch and ministers were nodded immediately.

Many ministers have involuntarily set their sights on the Ministry of Works High Official Duan Lun. The road construction of Mohist Family Son is under the control of Ministry of Works.

Ministry of Works High Official Duan Lun suddenly complexion changed, repeatedly shaking his hand and said: “His Imperial Majesty has nothing to do with Ministry of Works. This small official never knew that Lord Marquis Mo was so arrogant and luxurious.

p>

Except for arrogance and luxury, Duan Lun really cant think of other adjectives to describe Mo Duns maddening behavior.

It is also building roads, and other villages are tamping with soil. Just keep the road level and level, but Mohist Family Son actually played a trick on road construction.

First, the official road was plowed, then the straw was laid, and finally it turned out to be frantically covered with blue bricks. .

Li Shimin also took a deep breath and said: “Minister, since Mo Dun, the youngster, has given us such a big surprise. How can I waste a good intention? Everyone, follow me to see how Great Tangs first wasterel was lost. “

“As you bid!” Numerous officials shouted in unison with laughter.
