Mohist Tang

“Imperial Court’s cooperation?” Gao Shilian couldn’t help but stared at Mo Dun for a moment.

Mo Dun as it should be by rights said: “That is natural, does the Imperial Court want to take money but not do things?”

Gao Shilian said with a bitter smile: “Imperial Court let the old man come, it is not enough to show sincerity, so how do you want the Imperial Court to cooperate?”

Now as long as you can raise enough for disaster relief, as long as it is not too outrageous, I am afraid that you will be poor. I’m afraid the crazy Imperial Court will agree.

“I wonder how the Imperial Court is preparing for disaster relief?” Mo Dun asked Gao Shilian suddenly and mysteriously.

“Disaster relief?” Gao Shilian looked at Mo Dun in confusion, and asked in a puzzled way: “Just let the food and porridge, soothe the people.”

“That’s it?” Mo Dun looked disappointed.

Gao Shilian said angrily: “This is what it is. It has been the same in all dynasties. How can I be an exception to Great Tang, but if you youngster has any strategy, you can say it straight. Old man will naturally play it. Please Imperial Court.”

Mo Dun stood up and said boldly: “Son Mozi said: Those who are hungry cannot eat, those who are cold cannot be clothed, and those who work hard cannot rest. The three are also a great danger to the people. Your Majesty’s food and porridge are of course benevolence and righteousness, and relieve the people’s troubles, but it is like ordinary people giving beggar. Although the people can survive, but lose their dignity, they will only sit back and enjoy their achievements like beggar.”

“Dignity?” Gao Shilian looked at each other in blank dismay, people are starving to death, still thinking about dignity?

Mo Dun said with a righteous look: “If the youngster is hit by the disaster, then the youngster would rather work hard to feed himself, rather than accept charity from others.”

“It is easy for one person to feed himself, but there are so many people affected by the disaster, how can there be so much work for them to do.” Gao Shilian shook his head.

“That’s why the Imperial Court is needed to find a livelihood for the people affected by the Great Tang disaster. This is a work-for-work.” Mo Dun said resolutely.

“Relief by work!” Gao Shilian thought a little, and couldn’t help eyes shined.

The people affected by the disaster are as impoverished. Even the Imperial Court disaster relief will only provide food and porridge. How can they give money? If the country can be built on a large scale if the relief is done by work, the people will have a way of life. There will be no chaos.

“But in a hurry, how can the Imperial Court have so much work to do?” Gao Shilian regrets that the biggest Engineering Project of the Imperial Court is to treat the Yellow River, but it is a pity that it is flooding. The season is not the time at all.

Mo Dun said boldly: “youngster once mentioned an idea, that is, the ten Great Tang roads, the brick roads and terraces are connected, is it not an opportunity now.”

Brick road?” Gao Shilian lowered his head and thought.

“Yes, this is youngster’s hard thinking and meditation. According to my Great Tang Geography, I have come up with a three-horizontal and five-vertical brick road map. Please also Lord Gao for advice.” Mo Dun respectfully handed a Great Tang. The map came in front of Gao Shilian.

Building brick roads is the most labor-intensive industry. Digging earth to make bricks requires manpower, transportation requires manpower, and road repair and paving require manpower. If so, maybe millions of victims are not enough?

“Three horizontal and five vertical?”

Gao Shilian took a look and saw the road map of cities connected in series on the map. These three horizontal and five vertical brick road maps are almost Connecting all the strategic locations of Great Tang, it can be seen from his vision that once this map is completed, the Imperial Court’s strength control over the entire Great Tang immediately soars by a step.

Gao Shilian gave Mo Dun a stunning look, and could not help but secretly praised: “If your youngster is 20 years old, the old man will definitely recommend you as Ministry of Works High Official.”

The strategic vision of the three-horizontal and five-vertical roadmap alone is enough to shock the entire Imperial Court.

“You youngster came up with a three-horizontal and five-vertical brick road map to sell horses, right?” Gao Shilian suddenly thought of the previous words and looked at Mo Dun with a weird look.

Mo Dun nodded and said proudly: “This is natural. As long as the brick road is repaired, the horses will be extremely powerful and arrogant, and the demand will increase. Only we wait for this batch of livestock to be sold. , The Imperial Court has the money to pay for work.”

Gao Shilian couldn’t help but shook his head and laughed. Who would have thought that horse selling could be linked to the national grand strategy, and such an incredible thing would appear before him. .

“The purpose of the youngster’s coming today is to jointly write a letter to the Imperial Court with Lord Gao. Qinghai cattle are now very popular, so there is no need to worry. As long as the horses can be sold smoothly, there is only Sheep.” Mo Dun said bluntly.

In this regard, Gao Shilian has no reason to refuse. It can benefit the victims as well as Great Tang’s affairs. He is very happy to put his seal on it.

Three days later,

When the first batch of money and the three horizontal and five vertical drawings were placed in front of the Entire Court officials, all the courtiers couldnt help but marvel at them and were able to enter the Imperial Court. They are not idiots, they can naturally see the amazingness of the three horizontal and five vertical pictures, which are much more advanced than the Great Tang ten brick roads proposed by Mo Dun.

“Chancellor Mo deserves to be the genius of Tianzong. Once the three-horizontal and five-vertical brick road map is completed, my Great Tang will have nothing to worry about.” A Ministry of Works official exclaimed. After being removed from office, the Ministry of Works carried out a round of cleaning. However, the construction of the Yellow River embankment is not a small risk, but the construction of brick roads is happy for everyone. How can the Ministry of Works not cater to it.

A lot of officials are also nodded, especially the argument that Mo Dun puts forward the work-for-relief, which makes the ministers shine. It is also a relief, one is like a bottomless pit, and the other is One has a generous return, and everyone can naturally see the pros and cons.

“Relief for work, this method is the best of both worlds, but in this way, the consumption of the Imperial Court may be even greater.” Dai Zhou frowns saying.

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: “I know the convenience of brick roads. The biggest drawback is the high cost of construction. Now that it is the best time to build brick roads with the aid of work. Chancellor Mo has raised money in Lanzhou, and he only needs to last until September and wait for the autumn tax to be paid. Of course, everything will get better.”

Shandong Province flooding is a disaster, but it is not a brick road. The best time.

Soon, the Imperial Court quickly reached an agreement and agreed to build brick roads with work-for-relief. It directly declared that Great Tang would build brick roads with three horizontal and five verticals, but the actual start of construction was The east section of the Longhai Line and the north-south brick road at the center of Zhengzhou, the end of the Longhai Line, first created a cross-shaped brick road network in Great Tang.

At the same time, Confucian Journals and Mohist Periodical immediately cooperated with the Imperial Court to publicize the strategic significance and broad prospects of the three horizontal and five vertical brick road maps. Many businessmen moved upon hearing the news and once again rushed towards Lanzhou City.

The brick road is indeed convenient. It is built on the basis of Carriage. Whoever owns a horse will be able to seize the opportunity on the brick road in the future. Now a large number of Qinghai good horses gather in Lanzhou, Wumart The price is cheap. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid everyone will regret it for life.

“Chancellor Mo is indeed Gaoming!” Gao Shilian watched the horses outside Lanzhou disappear at a speed visible with naked eyes, and carts of money were pulled into the prefectural palace, his old face was full of smiles.

With this money, I believe it will be enough for the Imperial Court to use for a while.

“It all depends on the cooperation of the Imperial Court?” Mo Dun is also sighed in relief. Nowadays, horses are more popular than cattle. Besides the horses outside Lanzhou City are sold out, there are still many unsatisfied merchants. Want to book the next batch of horses, Mo Dun can only reluctantly refuse.

“Next, I have to deal with the sheep.” Mo Dun felt a headache when he thought of the sheep covering the mountains and plains.
