Mohist Tang

Chengnan Guandao.

The Chang’an City residents have long been crowded with people.

Looking at the azure brick road that stretches southward without seeing the side, I can’t help but slap my tongue.

“How much do you think Mohist Family Son has spent this time.” Many people were jealous and speculated.

“I heard that this brick road has been repaired to Mohist Village, at least 50 li, and the price of the blue brick is…” A scribe dressed as an Accountant pinched his finger and was shocked.

“At least tens of thousands!”

Ten thousands! People who have heard of it know that building brick roads must be an astronomical number, but they didn’t expect so much.

“reporting to Your Majesty, this time the road construction cost Mohist Village a total of 23,000 yuan!” On the south gate tower, Li Shimin and the officer boarded the gate tower and looked at the azure brick road Extending to the distance, I couldn’t help but ask about the cost, Mo Dun respectfully replied.

A group of Imperial Court officials slapped their tongues. They all guessed that Mohist Family Son must be great generosity this time. After the real account was reported, they still shocked everyone.

“Only 50 li official roads were repaired in more than 20,000 times!” Li Shimin hearing this raised his brow, and said with a smile: “No wonder Chang’an City tells you that Mohist Family Son is It’s wasrel.”

Entire Court officials all looked at Mo Dun with inexplicable eyes. Mohist Family Son has been getting more and more money-intensive recently, first spending money at the Western Regions conference.

Not long after this, the bricks were regarded as treasures. The 50 li official road bricks were replaced with gold, which was more than double the gold spilled by Mohist Family Son at the Western Regions Conference.

“Your Majesty, Great Tang has always advocated frugality. Mohist Family Son is profligate, arrogant and prosperous. This trend cannot be sustained. Please Your Majesty to punish Mohist Family Son severely and prohibit such malignant social trends.” Wei Zheng Departed tremblingly.

Great Tang has always advocated thrifty governance. Li Shimin, who had just succeeded to the throne, used history as a mirror to warn ministers: “Xi Yu chiseled mountains and governed waters, and the people did not slander the people. .Qin Shihuang camped in the palace and the people blamed the rebels, and the patients benefited themselves. The husband is a rare husband, and if he is industrious, he will stand in peril. I want to enlist a palace, and end with the Qin. Its suitable for me.

With the lessons of the death of Qin Dynasty and Sui Dynasty II, Great Tang is extremely important to thrift, and even Li Shimin set an example, an Entire Court official. Most of them also practice frugality, at least on the surface, Entire Court officials dare not even wear luxurious silk.

And Mohist Family Son is like a mudslide in the clear stream of Entire Court, making tens of thousands of dollars by waving his hands, raising his hands and waving the soil like gold, not to mention the Mo Dun brick road How effective is it, Mohist Family Son’s lavish money is in violation of the imperial court ethos, and Wei Zheng can’t help but feel angry.

“Your Majesty, please punish Mohist Family Son severely!” Many ministers followed suit instantly.

For a while, the officials were indignant, as if Mo Dun had committed an unpardonable crime.

“Hehe! Why didn’t the old man see how arrogant and extravagant the youngster Mo Dun is? Mo Dun, the youngster spends money on service and road repairs, not personal enjoyment.” Cheng Yaojin laughed, no Deny.

“Uh, uh!…”

The ministers suddenly got angry. Although Mo Dun’s move cost a lot, it is not for personal enjoyment. It is indeed a bit too much to use arrogance and prostitution.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said: “Although Virtuous nephew has repeatedly acted unexpectedly, most of them have other meanings. I wonder if Lord Marquis Mo can explain it for you.”

Qin Qiong and The others also made comments by Mo Dun, and many officials from Guanlong Aristocratic Family also spoke.

Mo Dun immediately bowed his hands to everyone with gratitude and turned his head to salute Li Shimin: “reporting to Your Majesty, this small official building brick road is indeed selfish. Please also Your Majesty to punish you.”

Mo Dun’s words came out, and the officials were in an uproar. No one would have thought that Mo Dun would take the initiative to confess the guilt. Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin couldn’t help feeling anxious. The two of them had just said good things to Mo Dun, but they didn’t expect to turn around. Mo Dun dismantled his own station.

Li Shimin was anxious and said with a smile: “What selfishness do you have, come quickly, so that I can condemn you!”

“This small official was in Ch_ng The’n county government issued a military order. In the future, Mohist Family Son will assume the official road to the south of the city every year in the future. This small official is whimsical, ready to settle once and for all, to solve the Mohist Village’s ten-year military service at once, and this hastily laid this brick road.”

Li Shimin expression moved: “Ten years of service?”

Mo Dun nodded and said: “Blue bricks are extremely wear-resistant and not easy to damage. For at least ten years, no great cultivator is needed. Even if ten years later, this brick road is damaged, that is a very small part, and it is just a few more bricks.”

“Just a few bricks!” Numerous officials couldn’t help but twitch their mouths and watch. The appearance of Mohist Family Son serene is simply a beating.

But everyone has to admit that Mohist Family Son does have a long-term plan. Once the brick road is completed, Mohist Village will indeed be completed within ten years.

Dai Zhou laughed, tearing down the platform and said: “Lord Marquis Mo don’t want to steal the concept. Mohist Village’s ten-year exemption money is only how much money, I am afraid that it will not be 10% of the road construction money!”

Li Shimin suddenly came across, yes! A problem that can be solved with very little money, and Mohist Family Son costs ten times the price. How can this be explained by ten years of military service?

Mo Dun said with a bitter smile: “Master Dai said that Mohist Village also wants to pay the exemption money, but didn’t this arouse public anger?”

Many officials couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Numerous officials also heard about the fact that Mohist Village paid the exemption money and was jointly reported to Ch_ng’n County by the various villages in the south of the city.

Li Shimin held back his smile and said straightforwardly: “putting it that way, you are also forced to build this road helplessly.”

“That’s not it!” Mo Dun couldn’t help but hugged and said, “If Mohist Village pays the exemption money, it will certainly offend the villagers, but if Mohist Village does the military service, it will take nearly one month every year. Ten years would be nearly ten months.”

Master Dai is right. The money for road construction in Mohist Village is indeed ten times that of exemption money, but the value created by the children of Mohist Village for ten months is more than ten times the money for road construction. “

Mo Dun simply calculated the accounts, and everyone suddenly realized that Mohist Village seems to spend a lot of money now, but it wins in the future. With so much money, ordinary villages are naturally overwhelmed, but for For Mohist Village, it is a bargain business.

Dai Zhou haha said with a smile: “Ill just say it, everyone, Mohist Family Son dignified Mathematics, how can it be so simple? Accounts. “

Numerous officials were silent for a while. In this matter, the ordinary person seemed shocking to the world, but after Mo Dun’s analysis, everyone was able to understand Mo Dun’s behavior.

However, understanding should be understood. Mo Dun’s move is also a small trick. He obviously also knows how big a storm this matter will cause. If it spreads out, there will be a lot of resistance, so the brick road was completed overnight, which resulted in an established fact. At this time, Li Shimin Can the brick road be demolished?
