Mohist Tang

Chapter 403

Anyone knows how important three-crop rice a year is to Great Tang. Great Tang has a large population and a food crisis has always existed, especially in this era when natural disasters occur frequently. , Many people are hungry.

Especially in the north, if it were not for the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the transportation of rice from the south to the north, this would slightly ease the food crisis in the north, but no one would dislike the large amount of food.

Every dynasty knows the importance of food. As long as there is food, the people will not be hungry, the rule of the dynasty will be extremely stable. The demise of which dynasty in the past dynasties will not always make the people do not live or live. After going down, it was only then that the pole rose and rebelled.

With this good seed, it can at least guarantee Great Tang within 100 years of worry-free food. This kind of splashing credit can be said to everyone’s heart. However, Mo Dun took the lead and everyone can only envy it. However, Today, there was a stubborn guy.

“This is not the Western Regions Conference. Isn’t it the kind of rice that Mohist Family Son said?” The official in the hall discussed spiritedly, pointing to a bag of rice seeds that Court Eunuch brought up, and said, even Su Lingnong early Hastily rushed forward and personally checked.

On the same day, at the Western Regions Conference, Mo Dun made a lot of money to seduce, and Johor businessmen were greedy for property. It was then that Johor Sultanate had three-cooked rice this year, which spread throughout Chang’an City. Everyone has heard of it.

“Yes, this is what the Johor businessmen said at the Western Regions Conference, three-cooked Johor rice a year.” Feng Zhidai said boldly. He only said that the Johor businessmen gave it, deliberately downplaying Mo Dun The role of.

“The three-cropped rice a year turned out to be real. If it can be promoted, it will be my Great Tang’s blessing!” The officials cry out in surprise, and the look towards Feng Zhidai suddenly increased. Kind of playfulness.

This is Mo Dun who first lured the Johor businessmen to speak out at the Western Regions event, but now it was presented by Feng Zhidai. The twists and turns of this, I’m afraid it is thought-provoking! “

Feng Zhidai couldn’t help showing a triumphant smile. When the events of the Western Regions Conference reached his ears that day, he was instantly moved. Others were dubious about this rice, but his Feng Family lived in Lingnan Road for five generations. Naturally, it is known that the more the rice goes to the south, the faster it will mature. This years three-cropped rice is most likely to be true.

Johor Sultanate belongs to the South China Sea countries, and Lingnan Road is the southernmost point of Tang Dynasty. It can be described as blessed by heaven. His Feng Family status is embarrassing. On the one hand, he was reused by the Imperial Court to control Lingnan, and on the other hand, he was guarded by the Imperial Court. As the eldest son of Feng Family, he stayed in Chang’an City as a proton. It is the best proof.

If you can personally obtain this fine rice seed, you will surely be able to make a great contribution, and you will surely be able to show your loyalty in front of His Imperial Majesty, and even let him return to Lingnan.

Although he enjoys the high position and great wealth in Ch_ng’n, he must be a guest in his hometown. How can he call the wind and summon the rain on Lingnan Road and come here happily.

So he personally wrote a letter and rushed to Lingnan Road to persuade Feng Ang to retrieve the Johor rice from Johor as quickly as possible.

Feng Ang readily agreed upon hearing this. Really, then his Feng Family must have made a great contribution! If this matter is false, then they dont at all losses, at most go on an errand for nothing, the risk is small and the return is big.

His Feng Family There is no shortage of wealth and status. What is missing is the opportunity to vote loyal to the Imperial Court. At this moment, a great opportunity is in front of him. How can he not firmly grasp it.

And Lingnan There are no shortage of merchants traveling to the sea in the land. When he sent a caravan to Johor, he really found out that there was indeed rice grown three times a year.

Suddenly to be wild with joy, after returning to Lingnan , Without stopping, hurry up and transport to Chang’an City, in time for Li Yuans birthday, and donate it to the Imperial Court.

As for Mo Dun, they seem to be nothing more than a yellow-haired child. Regarding the interests of several generations of his family, he would not hesitate to offend Mohist Family Son. After all, he is National Duke and Mo Dun is just a marquis.

“The benefits are moving!”

The dignitaries of Entire Court suddenly sighed in their hearts, but they knew in their hearts that in the face of such a great contribution, who can hold them? Some people even lamented in their hearts, why didn’t they think of it earlier? Instead, Feng Ang, the old fox, took the credit in advance.

“As far as I know, the Johor rice was used heavily by Mo Dun at the time. The Johor businessman said that it is not good for Feng Family to be greedy!” Cheng Yaojin suddenly said loudly on the seat.

Li Shimin immediately looked at Feng Zhidai with scrutiny eyes. Feng Zhidai panicked and knew that if he lied, he might be disliked by His Imperial Majesty. He calmly nodded and said: “Yes, this Johor rice was indeed the first to be discovered by Lord Marquis Mo, but this small official knows how important this kind of rice is to Great Tang. If there is this kind of rice, the people of Great Tang will never endure starvation again, such an important thing, How can he borrow from the hands of self-seeking merchants.”

Feng Zhidai secretly changed the concept. Although he admitted Mo Duns first work, he deliberately picked the bones of Mo Duns eggs and singled out Mo Dun. The mistake of thinking that Mo Dun was too late to put gold on his face.

As soon as Feng Zhidais words came out, many ministers suddenly nodded them. This era is truly a merchants status and a bad reputation. The rice seed so important to Great Tang was decided in the hands of the merchant. The hearts of all people suddenly turned to Feng Zhidai.

“This small official was uneasy, tossing and turning, so I asked him to write to his father, asking him to immediately exchange this improved rice from Johor Sultanate, and immediately send it to Chang’an City for the Retired Emperor. Shou Li.” Feng Zhidai argue with the courage of one’s convictions.

“This is the best gift I have received.”

Li Yuan burst into laughter. This kind of thing that can make the Great Tang Country stable as a birthday gift really makes Li Yuan is extremely satisfied.

“How do you confirm that the three seasons of rice in a year are true, aren’t you afraid of a trip?” Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.

Feng Zhidai said boldly: “As long as it is useful to Great Tang, even if there is a small possibility, I will wait for father and son to go through water and tread on fire.”

Everyone I sighed in my heart, this time, it really made Feng Family a big bargain. With such credit, as long as it is confirmed in the coming year, Feng Family will definitely be able to stay in the emperor’s heart, as long as this rice is there, Feng Family will definitely benefit.

Mo Dun suddenly sneered in his heart. No matter what Feng Zhidai said, he couldn’t conceal the fact that he grabbed power. What he really cares about is not the merit of Johor rice, but after Feng Family got the rice, he didn’t even make a note with him, trying to take the credit alone.

At this time, he remembered, I am afraid that he entered the Chang’an City motorcade a few days ago. I am afraid that there will be Johor Rice. For two days, Feng Zhidai did not notify the Mohist Family. It can be seen that Feng Zhidai’s ambition to take credit alone has long been set.

“Lord Marquis Mo, don’t blame it, this matter was done on behalf of Xia Yue. This rice appeared in Great Tang as early as possible, and I, Great Tang, will benefit sooner…” Feng Zhidai turned and arched his hand towards Mo Dun. Significantly: “Doing this under the hood is also dedicated to the country.”

In the contribution of rice, it seems that Mo Dun just moved his lips, and even five 10 gold taels did not spend it. , But Feng Family went to the oceans to fetch Johor rice, and took a fiercely bite in this great achievement.

“Feng Minister is indeed loyal to the Imperial Court.”

Li Shimin secretly nodded in his heart, and does not oppose his courtiers’ fight for merit. Although Feng Family is suspected of striving for merit, in the end, It’s Great Tang’s income.

Mo Dun slightly smiled, and said naturally: “Master Feng is talking and laughing. This Johor rice is not unique to my Mohist Family. What qualifications does A certain Mohist have to blame the adults?”

p>

Feng Zhidai suddenly smiled triumphantly. From his point of view, Lingnan is the closest to Johor. This Johor rice should be born to Feng Family, but it was just taken advantage of by Mohist Family Son. It was Feng Family who took back his due credit.

He deliberately offered it on the Retired Emperors birthday. Even if Mo Dun is not satisfied, he dare not make trouble at the Retired Emperors birthday banquet. After today, Feng Familys The credit has been confirmed.

Many courtiers suddenly sighed. After all, Mohist Family Son is still young. If he gets the news and immediately goes to Johor to get this rice seed, he will definitely be able to take the credit for himself, but he just wants to sit back and enjoy it. Let the Johor merchants bring it by themselves, and who is to blame for being robbed of credit?

Mo Dun’s words turned and sarcastically said: “However, A certain Mohist had made a statement at the Western Regions Conference. Whoever can bring good seeds to Great Tang will surely be rewarded again. This matter was taken by the Johor businessman. It was proposed that the Feng Family was transported back from Johor, and the two families should share the five 10 gold taels. After the Retired Emperor’s birthday, Master Feng will be invited to Mohist Village. The 25 tael of gold will definitely be given away, and Feng Family will not be allowed. This trip was in vain and hard work.

“Twenty tael of gold! “Entire Court civil and military was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly couldn’t help laughing.

Mo Dun this move was so insidious that all the efforts of Feng Family suddenly became a farce, and Feng Family went away. Chongyang, how can you ask for 25 tael of gold.

For an ordinary person, 25 tael of gold seems to be a lot, but for the Feng Family who controls the land of Lingnan, it is just one Hair from nine oxen, how can you put it in your eyes!

“My Feng Family is a country with one heart, Mohist Family Son, how can you use these A-block things to measure. “Feng Zhidai said suddenly. Their Feng Family traveled across the oceans, asking for the merits of the sky. Even if they can’t do all of their work, they still have to take most of the credit. How can they let Mohist Family Son spend a little gold on it?

“Well, what I admire most is Master Feng, such a loyal person. “Mo Dun suddenly exclaimed.

The man in the palace suddenly looked at Mo Dun in surprise. I dont understand that Mo Dun was so excited for being robbed of credit. I shouldnt be confused!

p>

I saw Mo Dun proudly nodded and said: “Feng Family is so loyal and working for Great Tang. It is my Great Tangs blessing. At present, there is a Fruit Tree in Persia and other places that is an apple, which is extremely delicious. People who can benefit my Great Tang will definitely benefit a lot; the pyramids have superb Chinese medicine skills, and if Feng Family can get them back, my Great Tang will surely be able to live countless people: There is a kind of chrysanthemum in the extreme west, which can repel mosquitoes. If Feng Family can get it, Hundreds of surnamed Xia in the world will no longer be afraid of mosquito bites, typhoid fever will definitely be greatly reduced. __

Western Regions, Persia, the Pyramid Kingdom, and the extremely western country__ Feng Zhidai suddenly opened wide his mouth. His original plan was to take great credit for the Feng Family, but he did not expect Going to the far west country.

“I haven’t been to these places before! “Feng Zhidai suddenly wanted to cry without tears, such a remote place, it is almost ten thousand li away, if you go there will definitely be nine deaths and still alive, no, ten deaths and a lifetime.

Mo Dun said with a smile: “Feng Family doesn’t mean that if there is a small possibility, you can go through water and tread on fire? “

“Uh! “Feng Zhidai suddenly concluded.

“These were originally brought by the merchants of Western Regions continuously. Didn’t Master Feng say that they could be handed over to the hands of self-seeking merchants? “Mo Dun asked.

Feng Zhidai’s face flushed immediately.

Li Yuan waved his hand and said: “The country of the extreme west is too far away, let the Western Regions merchants Bring it! If it is useful, I, Great Tang, will certainly not be stingy with money. “

Mo Dun sighed: “The Retired Emperor didn’t know something. It was definitely possible before, but now it doesn’t work anymore. You don’t hear about the “Zigong Redeemer”. “

“”Zigong Redeemer”” Feng Zhidai’s face suddenly turned white. He loves Confucianism, so he naturally knows about “Zigong Redeemer”.

“According to legend, there is a country in Shandong. According to a law, all Lu people become slaves in other countries, and merchants can go to State Treasury to reimburse the ransom after redeeming them. Confucius’s discipline Zi Gong (Duanmu Ci) redeemed a Lu people abroad, and refused to accept the country after returning. Compensation. After Confucius knew it, he said: Zi Gong did something wrong. from now on, the people of Lu will not redeem their slaves from other countries. Receiving compensation from the country will not damage your character; but without receiving compensation, no one in Lu will redeem their compatriots who died. “

Zilu rescued a drowning man. The man thanked him for sending a cow, and Zilu accepted it. Confucius said happily: “The people of Lu will definitely be brave to save the drowning man from now on. “Suddenly there was a great scholar who recounted the ransom of Zi Gong.

All of the eyes of Mo Dun and Feng Zhidai were suddenly different. This time, Feng Zhidai made a tribute. , And Mo Dun did a sub-road.

Mo Dun used a lot of money to attract foreign merchants to bring a variety of useful seeds to Great Tang. It seems that the journey is far away, extremely slow, but due to the heavy benefits Attracted, but continuously.

Feng Zhidai went directly to Johor Sultanate to get the seeds. He seemed to be devoted to Great Tang, but cut off Great Tangs way of introducing foreign seeds. If the foreign merchants do not benefit, then How can you be willing to deliver seeds for Great Tang continuously.

At this moment, everyone looks at Mo Dun’s eyes suddenly different, secretly sighed in their hearts, Mohist Family Son deserves to be Mohist Family Son, able to endure such credit The temptation of everyone is limited to the present, and Mohist Family Son can actually see so long-term.

If there is no Feng Family, Great Tang can still get the good rice of Johor, and will harvest more. Feng Family has moved this time forward.

Suddenly Li Yuan looked towards Feng Zhidai and his eyes became a little bit disappointed. Although he has already abdicated, he is also concerned about the future of Great Tang. Come on, this is the Country he shot down after all.

“Ancient has Zilu to save people, and today there is Mo Dun to buy the seeds. Well, it is my Great Tang Youth! “Li Yuan looked towards Mo Dun and praised, Mo Dun’s move really surprised everyone. Who would have thought that Mo Dun was like a long-term plan.

“The minister is loyal to the country, and please His The Imperial Majesty and Retired Emperor observe. “Feng Zhidai said with trepidation.

And Li Shimin suddenly remembered that although it is only in the country of Gaochang, it is much simpler to travel across the ocean, but Mo Dun is still nothing. Not stingy with money, bought cotton seeds from Gaochang merchants. In this way, the two of them have decided against each other!

“Although you and others have different starting points, they are all considered for Great Tang. , I feel very comforted in my heart, your loyalty, the Imperial Court will realize it, todays Retired Emperors birthday, no matter what else. “Li Shimin said.

After all, on the surface Great Tang is still profitable, and Feng Ang guards Lingnan. The Imperial Court relies a lot on it. Naturally, it is not easy to punish him, so he can only make ends meet.

But everyone knows that the smashing credit that Feng Family wants has long been a dead loss, and now it is estimated that only the hard work of crossing the ocean is left.
