Chapter 271

"Of course, you too." Merton turned to Qin Huaiyu and Wei Chi Baolin.

Qin Huaiyu's eyes lit up and said with a smile, "let mother find someone tomorrow."

Merton suddenly stumbled and looked at the two bad friends with a sad and angry face.

In fact, when the diamond first appeared in the West City, her beauty had conquered Chang'an city.

The hardest thing in the world will never wear out, which represents the love that will never wear out. Why can't the powerful people in Chang'an City flock to it.

"Lord Mo! My master said to ask you to make a diamond for my young master. The price is easy to say." a marquis housekeeper in royal clothes asked.

Merton nodded helplessly: "that's OK, but please tell your master that it will take a year to get the finished product."

In just a few days, the orders received by Mojia village have been scheduled for a year, and they are all customers who can't be rejected.

The Royal housekeeper was not at all unhappy. Instead, he said gratefully, "thank you, Lord mo."

Mojiazi once said at the grand meeting of the western regions that it takes several months to polish a diamond. It's reasonable to have a longer construction period.

Watching the Royal housekeeper leave, Merton couldn't help sighing. It seems that the team of diamond polishing craftsmen will expand again.

"Why are you unhappy when you make money?" Master Li said sarcastically.

Merton sighed: "to say that a boy doesn't love money, I'm afraid it seems too hypocritical. The boy just laments that most people in the world pursue flashy and shining things, but they don't know that these bright but cold stones can neither satisfy people nor increase people's wisdom, but can most move people's hearts."

After the western regions event, the most talked about in Chang'an city was these bright and magnificent diamonds. If Merton hadn't rejected most orders, diamond orders could be arranged at least ten years later.

Compared with the more precious seeds and knowledge of these diamonds, most people just take them as a conversation or two.

Master Li was immediately silent: "the world loves the beauty of jewelry, and who cares more about what seems useless."

Merton was also silent, and they fell into silence.

Suddenly, Mo San's hurried figure appeared in front of them and said with ecstasy: "Congratulations, young master. Hu Shang of the Qin Dynasty has translated the first volume."

"Seriously!" Master Li suddenly rose up and exclaimed. He was more excited than Merton.

"Master, please look!" Mo San presented a stack of paper. He was responsible for the translation of the merchants of the Qin Dynasty.

Master Li grabbed it, couldn't wait to take it, opened it and couldn't extricate himself.

"Don't get friends by gifts. You must give your sincere love and learn how to win a person's heart in a proper way."

"The happiest thing in the world is to fight for truth.

"People can make mistakes, but they can't make the same mistake."

"What I know more than others is that I know my ignorance."

………………

Master Li was intoxicated by the wise sayings one by one. When he read the obsession, he couldn't help dancing.

Merton also sighed. Thousands of years in advance and thousands of miles away, Socrates, who was considered to be comparable to Kong Sheng in previous lives, finally appeared on the land of the Tang Dynasty and radiated the light of wisdom.

After a long time, Master Li reluctantly put down the paper manuscript in his hand and trembled with excitement.

"Priceless treasure, indeed priceless treasure." Master Li said with praise.

Merton also nodded solemnly. The merchants of the Qin Dynasty did not deceive him. This is indeed Socrates' knowledge. In fact, strictly speaking, this is only a book recording Socrates' words and deeds, which is a bit similar to the Analects of Confucius.

"Young master, the merchants of the Qin Dynasty are still waiting for the young master to reply and ask him if he is satisfied." Mo San said.

There is a fatal flaw in the trade between Merton and the great Qin merchants. Both sides are assured by the middleman. The merchants of Daqin had to trust Merton by content. The selected fragments of his translation were all the most brilliant wisdom of Socrates, but he did not dare to guarantee whether Merton really agreed with him or not.

Master Li sighed, "this man in the book can be called a man of great wisdom. There are several such people from ancient times to now. This book must be true."

Master Li had already been conquered by the vast wisdom of the book. Before Merton nodded, he affirmed categorically.

"Tell the merchant of Daqin that this book is true! As long as the translation is completed, the diamond will be presented with both hands." Merton nodded,

"Yes, young master!" Mo San immediately took orders.

Watching Mo San leave, Master Li read the manuscript again. He felt that he had gained a lot.

Master Li looked at Merton solemnly and asked solemnly, "I don't know how the Mohists are going to deal with this book?"

Although he has a high status in Mojia village, he is a Confucian after all, and Merton bought this book with diamonds worth thousands of gold. How to deal with it is naturally up to the Mojia.

However, such a Book of great wisdom, he naturally did not want to let the book be covered with dust and put on the shelf by Merton.

Merton immediately realized that he understood what Master Li meant and said without hesitation: "nature is open for the world to share."

Master Li's eyes lit up and said suspiciously, "this is a treasure exchanged by the Mohist school. Are you willing?"

Merton said: "the Mohist sages once encountered the same experience when they visited the far western country. A homo sapiens said, you have an apple, I have an apple, we exchange each other, or only one apple, but you have a kind of thought, I also have a kind of thought. We exchange each other, and we have two kinds of thoughts."

Master Li immediately sighed: "Li has seen the knowledge of the far western country. As expected, there are only extraordinary things. Such a simple truth benefits people a lot."

"No, this story tells us that what Hu merchants in the western regions said about Apple is true." Merton involuntarily peeled again.

Master Li glared at Merton with hatred, which was really damaging the atmosphere. However, he soon didn't care about these, but was full of joy. If this book could be published in the world, it would be the gospel of scholars in the Tang Dynasty.

"I'll let Mo San print it immediately when the translation of Hu Shang in the Qin Dynasty is completed," said Li Fuzi.

Merton shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's too slow."

Any news has timeliness. At the moment, the western regions event has just ended, and it is the time of hot discussion in Chang'an city. If we don't strike while the iron is hot, I'm afraid the attention will be high at that time, and I'm afraid this book will be covered with dust.

Master Li mused, "what do you mean?"

"What do you think of serializing in ink?" suggested Merton.

Serial?

Master Li's heart moved. As the editor in chief of Ink magazine, he was no stranger to this word. Ziyi's comics were published in Ink magazine in the form of serial. Every time he urged Ziyi for manuscripts, he would get angry. If the audience in Chang'an city hadn't pursued comics and helped Ink magazine a lot, he would have eliminated Ziyi.

"Good idea." Master Li said in surprise.

In this way, readers of the Tang Dynasty can see it in the shortest time. Secondly, they can also take the opportunity to expand the influence of ink journals. It is killing two birds with one stone.

Master Li couldn't help looking at Merton with appreciation. Why are you so excellent.
