"Cut off the official rank!"
"Hahaha, Duan Lun is still an old man today. It's really gratifying!"
In the ink mansion, Qin Huaiyu laughed loudly, looking like gloating.
This time, the internal struggle of Mohist school was started because of this person. It can be said that it deserved to get such an end.
Qin Huaiyu and the three of them were like small people who achieved their goals. After celebrating a lot, they calmed down.
Wei Chi Baolin said suspiciously, "although he was demoted to the third grade, he was still the Minister of the Ministry of work. He didn't have much loss!"
Chumo shook his head and said, "you don't know. He was a hidden Prince and a son-in-law. After his majesty came to power, he ignored his past grievances and used him heavily. This time, Duan Lun lost all his face and must be in great danger in the Ministry of work. In my opinion, he won't sit in the position of the Minister of work for long."
Qin Huaiyu nodded. Officialdom is so cruel. If you take the wrong step, you will be doomed. Which chief official of the three provinces and six departments is a real power official position, and there are not a few people staring at these official positions. I'm afraid there are not a few who fall into such a big mistake by Duan Lun. I'm afraid Duan Lun's position as the Minister of the Ministry of industry is no longer secure.
Merton shook his head and said carelessly, "Duan Lun did his own evil this time. He spent his whole life in business and opportunism. He deserved to end up like this. However, our brothers are not in the court. This man's gain and loss of power has nothing to do with us."
The root of Mohism is Mohist village, not in chaotang, which is also the basis for Merton's freedom to advance and retreat.
"But it's a pity that Yang Siqi, a traitor of Mohism, escaped." Qin Huaiyu said bitterly.
Merton was silent and said, "craftsmen are in a low position. It's normal to rely on powerful people. Sometimes we have no choice."
Chumo said angrily, "it's time for you to speak for him."
"It's a joke to kill each other in the same vein of Mohism." Merton said.
"No one hurts the tiger's heart, and the tiger hurts people. If you let him go this time, you don't know whether he can let you go next time." Qin Huaiyu said that as a dandy in Chang'an City, these officialdom principles have long gone deep into their bone marrow.
"I was born from the same root. Why should we be in such a hurry? Both Deng Ling's and Xiang Li's are descendants of Mohism. Mohism loves others and doesn't attack them. How can we throw stones at our fellow disciples? Besides, he will soon leave Chang'an City and pose no threat to Mohist village?" said Merton.
"Leave Chang'an City? It's impossible! He managed to join the Ministry of work, how can he leave easily." the three people don't believe that Yang Siqi will take the initiative to leave Chang'an city. They can see that Yang Siqi's utilitarian heart is very strong. How can he easily give up his wealth and wealth.
Merton smiled and said, "there's nothing wrong with the utilitarian heart. Since Yang Siqi came to Chang'an city to ask for officials and money, because of his reason, the Minister of the Ministry of work was cut off as an official and Baron. Even if his majesty didn't blame him, Duan Lun hasn't been dismissed after all. With Duan Lun's character, you think he has a better life in the Ministry of work."
"Now that the way to seek an official has been cut off, there is only one left to ask for money. If the Mojia village gives money to him," Merton said, the three people immediately looked at Merton like fools. Yang Siqi was scheming and malicious, and Merton wanted to give money to him. He wouldn't be out of his mind!
Qin Huaiyu was shocked and said, "you want Yang Siqi's puppet skill."
Merton didn't hide it and nodded generously
Qin Huaiyu said angrily, "you're crazy. Duan Lun's lesson has only been a few hours."
The three were immediately shocked by Merton's boldness. You know, your majesty just reprimanded Duan Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of industry, and banned such puppet plays. Merton even took the initiative to ask for this puppet skill. Isn't he looking for death?
"What others think of as a trick is valuable in the eyes of Mojia village. With such a secret skill in front of us, how can Mojia village slip away in vain?" Merton said proudly.
Quchi square.
"Yang Siqi lives here?" Merton frowned, looking at a dilapidated house in front of him.
"Back to young master, there are Mohist children who have been watching and live here." tie an nodded.
As the last descendant of Deng Ling's ink, Yang Siqi's situation is not much better than that of Mohist village. Fortunately, he doesn't have as many mouths as Mohist village. At least he has some savings and rents this house in Chang'an City as a place to stay.
Merton didn't say much, but politely knocked on the door and said in a high voice: "Merton of Xiangli's came to visit. Dare you ask martial uncle Yang where he can be."
Among the houses, Yang Siqi is in a panic. Duan Lun, who was harmed this time, has cut off the rank and rank. I'm afraid he has completely offended Duan Lun, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Ministry of industry in the future.
However, if he wanted to give up his position as a great craftsman in the work department, he was extremely reluctant. When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard Merton's visit. He almost didn't and jumped up.
"The ink family!" Yang Siqi was frightened. He didn't expect the ink family to come to the door.
However, Merton's words are respectful and observe etiquette. In addition, Yang Siqi is the last descendant of Deng Ling's ink, and he still has courage and wisdom.
When the door of the house opened, Yang Siqi came out and shouted, "Mo family, are you coming to see the joke of Deng Ling's ink?"
"No, I just came to make a deal with you, Deng Ling's ink." Merton said solemnly.
"Trading?" Yang siqidun was messy in the wind.
"Of course, I once said that your skill of puppet mechanism is worth thousands of gold. Today I come with money and only ask for secret skills." Merton said with a smile and turned around to reveal the treasure chest held by tie an behind him.
Yang Siqi couldn't help breathing. He didn't come to Chang'an city just for money. Now he offended Duan Lun, and there was only one way to ask for money. Unexpectedly, when he fell asleep and hit the pillow, the Mexican family sent the money to the door in person.
"Please talk in detail." Yang Siqi immediately swallowed and spitted.
Merton smiled and knew that this kind of business would surely succeed. According to historical records, Yang Siqi was later in the Ministry of work, but he was punished for corruption. How can such a wealth lover refuse the temptation of thousands of gold.
On a simple table, tie an put the treasure chest heavily on the table, while at the other end of the table, Yang Siqi tightened the puppet in his hand.
With a wave of his hand, Merton opened the treasure chest when the iron settled down, and saw a whole box filled with silver ingots.
"Silver! You said it was worth thousands of gold? How did it become silver." Yang Siqi jumped up as if he had received an insult.
"Daughter, do you dare to think?" iron shouted when he settled down. His iron tower like figure was very oppressive, which immediately made Yang Siqi tremble in his heart.
Merton waved his hand, stopped Tie'an, and explained, "if this thing is owned by the Mojia village alone, it's not too valuable. But if you can ensure that this ink technology is owned exclusively by the Mojia village, the Mojia village will never spread, and Momou will immediately offer it."
Yang Siqi immediately smiled bitterly. How can he guarantee that there are two dolls in the world, one of which is already in the palace. It's natural and safe, but what about him? How can he resist if he is forced by dignitaries.
"So Mo designed two schemes for you, one of which is that you sell the puppet secret skills to Mojia village and resell them to others at the same time. In this case, the ink skills will be worth up to 100 Guan copper coins. The other is that you sell the puppet secret skills to Mojia village and promise not to resell them to others for at least three years, then the ink skills will be worth 1000 liang of silver." Merton said.
Yang Siqi smiled bitterly and directly considered all the situations for Yang Siqi. There was too little Baiguan copper money. Naturally, he didn't want to, so he had to choose a thousand liang of silver. "
Merton smiled. Knowing that Yang Siqi must have agreed, he got up and waved to tie an. Tie an pushed the treasure chest forward, grabbed the puppet doll in front of Yang Siqi and followed Merton behind him.
Merton did not ask about the puppet's mechanism skills, because as long as the Mojia village can get the puppet doll, all the mechanism skills in it are not a secret to the Mojia village.
