Chapter 268

"More precious than seeds?"

As Merton said just now, the people of Chang'an City really heard the effects of all kinds of seeds. As long as they are true, even any one is enough to benefit Datang a lot, and it is not impossible even to be awarded by the emperor.

People really can't think of anything that can compare with these seeds that are more precious than gold.

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to a group of Hu merchants, and the people of Chang'an City were bored. Even those Hu merchants inlaid with gold are not worth so much money!

Hu merchants were also confused. They really couldn't think of anything so precious on themselves.

"Clever! Do you want to know what else Merton wants to do?" Li Shimin's heart is like tens of thousands of Cat Claws scratching his heart. His heart itches hard. He really can't think of what Merton wants to do!

"When I returned to my father, my ministers didn't know. My ministers only knew that Merton once said that there were things needed by the Mohists at the western region event." Merton once mentioned it casually a few days ago, but Li Chengqian didn't ask.

"What Mohists need? Are diamonds and seeds not enough to satisfy Mohists?" Li Tai said sour.

He saw that no matter which one was precious, but the Mexican family said it was not what he needed, which made everyone ashamed.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "diamond is a luxury. Mohist advocates frugality. This thing is inconsistent with Mohist ideas. Seeds are indeed farm things and are not pursued by Mohist."

Li Shimin could not help nodding. Li Chengqian's analysis did have some truth. In this way, the Mexican family must have made great efforts to create such a sensation.

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said with some difficulty, "according to his son's minister, Merton may just 'throw a brick to attract jade' when he takes out the diamonds and seeds."

Li Shimin and the princes immediately felt it was ridiculous.

"Throw a brick and attract jade.".

The brick thrown by Mozi is more precious than any jade in the world. What does he want to lead out by throwing out the most expensive brick in the world?

Merton did not play riddles for everyone, but said directly, "what the Mohists want is knowledge."

"Knowledge?"

Suddenly, many people moved in their hearts, as if they vaguely grasped Merton's intention.

A Hu merchant shook his head and said, "I'm so disappointed. We're just a businessman. Where do we have any knowledge?"

Other Hu merchants shook their heads one after another, looking regretful.

"The knowledge here is not your knowledge. Mohist sages once traveled to your country and saw brilliant civilization and countless classic books. However, they can only bring back a few words and some unique knowledge. However, Rao has benefited Mohist a lot, so what Mohist wants is the place where Mohist sages once arrived Fang is the knowledge of some sages in your country, "Merton explained.

All Hu merchants suddenly.

The people of Chang'an city also understood the meaning expressed by Mohists. Ordinary people suddenly felt a little dull. Where are those books better than shining diamonds.

But in the ears of some readers, they are like thunder and tremble all over.

"Mozi has great ambition. The world says that Mozi is crazy to try to cultivate a hundred schools at the same time. Who would have thought that Mozi was planning to cultivate both at home and abroad."

Under the stand, a Confucian student muttered.

In the private room upstairs, Wes settled down with a dejected look. Chen Sheng once said: the swallow finch knows the ambition of the swan. At the moment, even without comparison, Wes ANN is already ashamed. In contrast, Merton is the Swan above, and I'm afraid he can't even compare with the swallow finch.

"Both Chinese and foreign!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up suddenly, and his eyes looked at Merton with an inexplicable meaning.

"Learning some knowledge of barbarian land, isn't that sacrificing the basics and seeking the end?" Li Tai shook his head and said that the knowledge of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years is broad and profound, which can't be used to learn the knowledge of barbarian land.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "the third brother doesn't know. Mohism has been silent for thousands of years. It can rise so rapidly. In addition to a lot of ink skills, foreign knowledge is also indispensable. Before, the numbers we learned came from Tianzhu and other places. It can be seen that foreign scholars must also have their own uniqueness."

Sure enough, I heard Merton say, "the sages of Mohism once visited Tianzhu and other places, and brought Tianzhu numbers from there. Now they are widely spread in the Tang Dynasty."

Businessmen from Tianzhu changed from joy to sorrow. Tianzhu figures have been introduced into the Tang Dynasty, and the Mohist school will no longer need them.

"But don't be sad for Tianzhu friends. In order to repay the achievements of Tianzhu digital, after the western region grand meeting, the Mohist family will give each friend from Tianzhu a bottle to solve thousands of worries." Merton turned and shouted to a group of Hu merchants with headscarves.

These Tianzhu businessmen immediately smiled and solved thousands of worries. In Datang, there was always a bottle of money, one bottle for each person. It was an unexpected wealth.

A group of Hu merchants became dignified. The knowledge that had been introduced into the Tang Dynasty was so expensive that the precious books in their own country were more valuable.

"The Mohist sages also visited the land of Persia, where they had the honor to read the classic Hammurabi code of foreign Legalists and heard of the beauty of the hanging garden spreading everywhere."

A group of Persian businessmen immediately held their heads high, which was the greatest pride of Persia.

"I have also visited the land of Egypt, saw the towering pyramids and Sphinx, and was saved once by a highly skilled doctor there."

One or two Egyptian businessmen quickly stood up to pay tribute.

"Mohist sages once traveled to the Far West, where they were lucky to read the works of the sages named Archimedes, saying their achievements were comparable to Mozi."

A 50 year old Hu merchant of the great Qin Dynasty stood up to pay tribute to the Mozi family.

"Comparable to Mozi."

All the scholars present were in an uproar. You know, with Merton's vigorous publicity, Mozi is now famous in the Tang Dynasty, and the Mozi family frankly said that there are people comparable to Mozi in the Far West.

"Archimedes is indeed the sage of the Qin Dynasty, but I don't have any books, but I have a Book of a man as famous as Archimedes, whose name is Socrates." Hu Shang of the Qin Dynasty shouted.

He is also a poor aristocrat. In order to revitalize his family, he had to embark on the Silk Road with the intention of revitalizing his family. However, the silk road is a long way. Along the way, he relies on this book to pass the loneliness of his journey.

Merton nodded and said, "the sage of Socrates, the sage of Mohism, once mentioned that this man is indeed as famous as Archimedes."

All the people were in an uproar. The Mohists claimed that Archimedes' achievements were comparable to Mozi, and Socrates, who was as famous as Mozi, was also comparable to other schools of thought.

In the Tang Dynasty, the various schools of thought represented the master of knowledge. Each of them reached the peak of their respective fields. However, there were two figures comparable to the various schools of thought one after another in the barbarian land of the West. Wouldn't everyone be surprised.

Hu Shang of the Qin Dynasty quickly sent for a large and thick sheepskin roll, sent it to Merton's hand and said, "I don't know the value of this book?"

Merton looked at the worn and worn book. It was obvious that the book had been turned over countless times. He couldn't help showing a trace of excitement and said, "if this book is true, it is priceless.

"Priceless treasure?" they were puzzled.

Merton nodded slowly. In this world, everything has its value, only knowledge is priceless.
