In February, the Dragon looked up.
Although the holiday of Datang is once every ten days, in addition to these, there are many holidays. New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, Mid Autumn Festival, cold food, Dragon Boat Festival and all kinds of holidays are no less than those on weekends and all kinds of holidays in future generations.
The second day of February is also a legal holiday of the Tang Dynasty. It takes two days off. On this day, people in Chang'an city are boiling because the Mohist ink technology exhibition is about to open.
The Mohist ink art exhibition, which has been continuously publicized by the Mohist village, has long been full of wind and rain. Whether it's small hole imaging, teenagers pulling thousands of pounds, or the secret technique of live fish worth thousands of gold, it will be announced soon, which has greatly attracted the citizens of Chang'an.
There are no entertainment programs in this era. A place where adult men play is either a brothel or a gambling house. There have been so many strange things.
The sun was just angry, and many people had gathered outside the ink technology exhibition.
Those who came early were not in a hurry. They spent a few Wen on a steaming steamed stuffed bun and waited slowly. A newly opened restaurant next to the steamed stuffed bun shop has begun to be renovated.
In the private room of the restaurant, Ziyi looked dissatisfied at the sea of people outside the window. Here, you can just see the whole audience of ink technology exhibition.
"It's true, young master. Don't tell him anything until today!" Purple pursed her lips.
The fish master behind him looked kind and said, "the young master is also forced. This is the most important opportunity to publicize Mojia village. If something goes wrong, it will fall short."
"Wait here well, you won't see everything in a while!" master fish comforted Ziyi, went downstairs to inspect his restaurant again, and tried to open today without any mistakes.
"Fish master! Where's Merton?" Li Gaoming, no, Li Chengqian led several people in!, See the fish master asked.
At the beginning of the ink exhibition, Merton knew that there were many people, and specifically ordered Zu Mingjun and Li Gaoming to watch in this unopened restaurant, so as to avoid crowding.
"The young master is preparing inside? He ordered, and the private room has been prepared for young master Li!" Master Yu smiled and called Li Chengqian in. At the moment, he didn't know that Li Gaoming was the crown prince.
Suddenly, the fish master suddenly looked at the people behind Li Gaoming. He knew everyone, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and his royal highness King Qin, who had personally made fish for him, that is, the Emperor Li Shimin.
"Grass people..." the fish Master said in fear,
"The emperor is making a private visit in micro clothes today. Don't make a statement!" Qin Qiong came forward and stopped Master Yu's salute.
"Yes, yes!" the fish Master said repeatedly. He was looking at the similar faces of Li Chengqian and Li Shimin. He couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that today's crown prince was polite in front of him.
Master Yu took Li Shimin to a private room with the best view and bowed back.
"What about the little catfish?" Li Shimin asked, looking curiously at the sea of people outside the window.
"Not only is the little catfish gone, but even my smelly boy can't find a figure. It's estimated that she's preparing!" Qin Qiong looked left and right and couldn't see Qin Huaiyu.
Just then, a gong woke up the crowd. Everyone couldn't help but look at the high platform set up in the center in advance,
Ink exhibition is about to begin!
A young man in black walked slowly to the center of the platform and bowed to the people.
"Welcome to the Mohist Ink Exhibition. I'm Merton!" Merton said slowly. His voice was not loud, but it could easily spread all over the venue.
Merton had already considered the effect of sound amplification when the ink technology exhibition began to be built. Looking at many original loudspeakers like speakers in the audience, Merton showed a slight smile and the effect was good.
"He is the Mohist family!" they exclaimed under the stand. They have heard a lot about the reputation of the Mohist family. Before, the Mohist family led the live fish secret technique to bring great wealth to the Mohist village. One person saved 5000 people, and five wins and one defeat made it into the Imperial college. Now the three poems of the Mohist family's frontier fortress are still circulating in Chang'an city.
They didn't expect that mojiazi should be such a beautiful young man.
"Is he mojiazi?"
None of the five had seen Merton except Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin looked at Merton curiously. The young man was tossing around Chang'an like a catfish, and made some new tricks from time to time, which was unexpected.
"Back to my father, he is Merton!"
Li Chengqian solemnly replied that Li Shimin can jokingly call Merton a little catfish. As a friend, of course, he can't call him that.
On the high platform, Merton looked around and said slowly, "a thousand years ago, the Mohist school was one of the most famous schools in the world, but now the Mohist school has not fallen to only one village. The Mohist school has reached the critical point of life and death."
There are many people of insight under the stage, even Guozi supervisor, and many people come to see the excitement. Hearing the speech, they can't help but sigh. It's really puzzling that the Mohist school, once famous for a while, has fallen down.
"If Mohism does not change, it will inevitably be lost in history and become a record in historical books. However, I think the decline of Mohism does not complain about heaven and earth, but lies in Mohism's own closeness and conservatism and its inability to keep up with the times."
Many of the Mohist children who maintain order around them can't help feeling dejected. The previous Mohist school once had a strict confidentiality system. Once it was found that it would be a felony to divulge the secret skills of Mohist school.
"Today's Mohist school is no longer closed and conservative, but wants reform and opening up. It no longer cherishes the secret skills of Mohist school, but shares them with the world. Next, please see the first secret skill of Mohist school, pinhole imaging!"
When Merton looked back, a huge black cloth in the southeast slowly pulled up, and the whole ink technology exhibition suddenly became dark. A small hole in the center of the huge cloth revealed a ray of sunshine, which was clearly sprinkled on a white cloth in the rear, and a clear figure appeared in the small hole.
"Wow!"
The audience was amazed.
Behind the black cloth, Qin Huaiyu and the three are happily changing all kinds of silhouettes. At first, there are all kinds of portraits, and then there are all kinds of animals. Each change can arouse the surprised voice of the whole audience.
Soon the sun rose a little, and the performance of small hole imaging ended. This is why Merton chose to start the ink technology exhibition at this time, because only the sun at this moment is the most suitable.
"This ink technology exhibition will be on display for three days. Pinhole imaging will be open to the outside world. Everyone has the opportunity to understand the secret of pinhole imaging."
As soon as Merton said this, the audience cheered.
"It seems that this little catfish is really coming!" Li Shimin sighed in the box.
"Such a big change, I'm afraid, is extremely difficult. The Mohist school can inherit it. If it loses, the Mohist school will disappear." Cheng Yaojin said sharply.
All the pressure was concentrated on such a young man, and everyone focused on the young man who supported himself on the high platform.
