"It's delicious, it's delicious!" In the middle of the Murphy, Merton feasted on a crab.

Since the Mo family made public the live fish ink technology and ice-making method, it can be said that the fishing industry is a revolutionary change, and the merchants who pursue wealth will send delicious fish from all over the world to Chang'an City, not to mention crabs, and even seafood in the sea can appear in the east and west markets of Chang'an City, of course, its price is also extremely expensive.

Especially after the word that Merton's first crab eater spread, it set off a crab eating craze in Chang'an City, and the price of crabs skyrocketed by 30%.

The crab that Merton ate in his mouth did not cost money, but was rewarded by Li Shimin to Mofu, and the meaning of the warning was very obvious.

Li Shimin's warning Merton is naturally not afraid at all now, after all, he is now an internal person, because Princess Changle is pregnant and should not eat seafood, these crabs have entered Merton's stomach.

"Good boy, don't kick your mother again, go back for your father!" After eating the last crab leg, Morton cleaned his hands, stroked Changle Xianhuai's belly, and commanded matter-of-factly.

Princess Changle opened Merton's dishonest hand and said with a smile: "He's only three months old, where can he kick people?" ”

It's only been three months since he showed his feelings, and he couldn't hear any movement at all, Merton's move was just self-deception!

Merton said proudly, of course: "This is your child and mine, and he will definitely be talented, so he won't kick people." ”

"Okay, you said you could?" Princess Changle drove Modon out of the door with a look of disgust, "You have something important to do today, so you can't delay." ”

"The construction of the Weishui Bridge is a matter of the husband's family, and Mojia Village only needs to provide materials, and there is no need to come forward for the husband at all." Merton didn't care.

Princess Changle glanced at Merton and said: "The Weishui Bridge is your idea, and now the government and the opposition attach great importance to it, if you don't come forward, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it." ”

Mo Dun thought about Li Shimin's cold face, and couldn't help but feel a chill, so he reluctantly stepped out of the gate of Mo Mansion.

The carriage went all the way to the north, out of the west gate of Chang'an City, and saw a straight turn road leading directly to the direction of Weishui in the north, and at the end of the turn was the bridge site of the Weishui Bridge.

It can be seen that the imperial court attached great importance to the Weishui Bridge, and for the construction of the Weishui Bridge, a new turning road was specially built to transport bridge repair materials, and it was a six-lane brick road with the highest rule.

Seeing the constant traffic coming, Merton couldn't help but sigh: "When the Weishui Bridge is completed, this brick road will be ten times or a hundred times more prosperous today." ”

As the only passage from Chang'an City to the north, the Weishui Bridge will be as busy as the Longhai Line once completed.

The carriage drove north along the straight brick road, and just twenty miles north of Chang'an City, I saw a huge construction site rising from the ground on the huge river beach.

On the construction site, one by one craftsmen are constantly busy, and the imperial court can be said to have spent a lot of effort for this project, and there are no less than 3,000 people recruited from the people alone, not to mention a group of Mo family children, skilled craftsmen in the external processing department, and the daily consumption alone is not a small amount.

As soon as he arrived at the construction site, Xiangfu's family got the news, and a familiar person walked over, and he was the same uncle beside Li Yun.

"Young Master Mo!" Uncle Tong bowed down and said, the original Uncle Tong was extremely dissatisfied with Merton, but after Morton gave the opportunity to build the Weishui Bridge to Li Yun regardless of his previous suspicions, Uncle Tong's attitude towards Morton and Mojia Village changed greatly, and this time, just like the construction of the Qujiang Arch Bridge, Uncle Tong was also responsible for the transfer of materials between Mojia Village and Xiangfu's lineage.

"Uncle Tong, please check this batch of materials!" Merton said loudly.

"Mo Hou personally escorted him, how can the old slave not be at ease?" Uncle Tong said modestly, but in private, he was unrelenting, and meticulously began to check the materials sent by Merton, after all, this was an opportunity for the revival of the Xiangfu family, and he didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

"Where's Brother Li?" At the same time as the same uncle was spot-checking, Merton looked left and right but did not see Li Yun's figure.

"The young master is measuring the distance between the bridges on the other side, and there are already children of the Mo family who have gone to tell him, and he must be coming soon." Uncle Tong said with a smile.

As soon as Uncle Tong's words fell, he saw two figures coming over from the boat, it was Tian Yun and Li Yun, and Tian Yun was angry, and Li Yun on the side kept persuading each other, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

"This is how the Xiangfu family treats fellow Mo family members?" Merton looked at the angry Tian Yu and sneered.

"Fellow Mo family? In my opinion, the Mojia Village has betrayed the Mo family, and it is simply an insult to the Mo Sage's teachings to cooperate with Confucianism, the biggest enemy of the Mo family? Tian Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded angrily.

"The Ink Saint's teachings?" Merton was slightly surprised.

"Yes? Zi Mozi said: Confucianism said: "Kissing has skills, respecting the virtuous and equal." The difference between relatives and respect is also ........................"

What Tian Yu is talking about is the non-Confucian chapter in the Book of Ink, which is the most fierce ideological conflict between Mohists and Confucianism, and it is also the fuse of the conflict between Confucianism and Confucianism.

"Confucianism is different from intimacy, the Mo family loves the world, Confucianism prepares for the years, respects the old and respects filial piety, and the Mo family is still virtuous, Confucianism does not produce, the Mo family is ............, and the two Confucianism and Mo have been opposed for thousands of years, but I heard that Mohou took the initiative to cooperate with Confucianism to promote the same sound, wouldn't it be a tiger for trouble, and a seller of the enemy." Tian Yu scolded.

"In this way, Mohist theory is much better than Confucianism, but why is Confucianism still respected in this world?" Merton asked rhetorically.

"That's not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Dong Zhongshu.................." Tian Yu said hatefully, since the exclusive respect for Confucianism, Confucianism has not suppressed the Mo family, the decline of the Mo family in addition to its own reasons, Confucianism is also indispensable, when Mo Lie has been made a marquis, but Mojia Village is still living a precarious life, and Confucianism is also indispensable.

Merton sneered: "Is it just because of Emperor Wu of Han and Dong Zhongshu?" The reason why the later emperors still adopted Confucianism is because Confucianism does have advantages over Mohist theory. ”

"It's just bullshit, how can Confucianism outperform Mohists?" Hearing this, Tian Yu was immediately angry and roared angrily, as if the most sacred thing he had always held on to had been defiled by someone.

Merton pondered for a moment and said: "At least in this era, Confucianism is more practical than the Mohist theory, Confucianism is quite effective in educating the people, and the Mohist concept is good, but how to love the world at the same time, the people in the world are tens of millions, the Mohist family is exhausted all the belongings and can help a few, not to mention love the world, as for non-attack, if you have time, you can flip through the history books, where has China settled for a few days for thousands of years, it is simply a history of war, as for Shang Tong ........................"

Merton's rebuttals one by one, each of which was justified and well-founded, made Tian Yu speechless for a moment.

"According to what you say, isn't my Mohist philosophy useless? That's why you turned your back on the Mo family! Tian Yu suddenly said a little disheartened.

Morton shook his head and said, "On the contrary, Mo believes that the theory of Mohism is more advanced than Confucianism, but it is too advanced, so it is difficult to realize. ”

"Then what does Brother Mo think should be realized with the concept of the Mo family?" Li Yun's eyes lit up and said.

Merton waved his hand and said: "Wait until the Xiangfu clan will build a bridge in the dangerous places of the world, the world will be unimpeded, and the goods between the north and the south will be unimpeded and interconnected; When the world is unified, the books are the same, the words are the same, and when countless exotic varieties pour into the Tang Dynasty, the people of the world will no longer have the worry of hunger and cold; When the people of every village are as rich as Mojia Village, every child can enjoy a fair education, and can choose every hundred schools of thought at will, then is the time when the Mojia concept really shines. ”

Tian Yu and Li Yun's eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this, and their hearts were stirred, what Merton said was their lifelong belief.

"And my Mojia Village has been working towards this goal, what have you done in the Xiangfu family?" Merton asked rhetorically.

Tian Yu couldn't help but feel ashamed for a while, his Xiangfu clan has been living in seclusion, if it weren't for the sudden emergence of Mojia Village, I'm afraid that the Xiangfu clan would have been living in seclusion until it died.

"It's not terrible to admit that others are excellent, it's terrible to not be able to recognize yourself, at least at this stage, the status of Confucianism is unshakable, even if the Mohist concept prevails in the future, Confucianism is also indispensable, and even other hundred schools of thought are also indispensable, maybe there will be new doctrines better than Mohist doctrines, if you can't recognize the status of Confucianism, then you will never be able to put the position of Mohism, and the revival of Mohism will be impossible to talk about." Merton reprimanded.

Tian Yu was speechless for a moment, he had to admit that what Merton said was the truth, with the current status of Confucianism is indeed as stable as Mount Tai, it is difficult to shake at all, and the direct confrontation between the Mohists and it is no less than hitting a stone with an egg.

Merton's words changed and said: "What's more, Mo Sheng is not Confucian, Confucianism is pragmatic and attaches too much importance to human ethics, while the Mo family is pragmatic and studies the Mo family and ink techniques to benefit the people, and the two schools of Confucianism and Mo are not opposed in nature, but can complement each other." The three states of the bureaucrats are a pilot of Confucian-Moxian cooperation, and it remains to be seen how effective it will be. ”

Tian Yu then borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Then the old man will wait and see, I hope you don't help the abuse." ”

For Tian Yu's dead duck with a hard mouth, Morton did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, after all, this is the honeymoon period of the Mo family's two veins, and Tian Yu is a descendant of the Xiangfu family.

"Today, Mo came, in addition to sending materials, he also wanted to officially determine the location of the piers of the Weishui Bridge." Merton said solemnly.

The positioning of the bridge pier is the basis for the success of a bridge, if it is too short and time-consuming and labor-intensive, if it is too wide, it will increase the risk of the bridge, easy to cause safety accidents, and a bridge is expensive, especially the Weishui Bridge, it costs countless money, once there is a safety responsibility, the loss is astronomical.
