Chapter 476

However, in the joy of everyone, an disharmonious voice suddenly shouted, "food is the first thing for the people, and food safety is the first. Although your idea is good, Mozi, after all, pesticides are highly toxic. How can you eat them when sprinkled on food."

The crowd looked around and saw the short Confucian student angrily accusing him.

"This!" many people immediately hesitated.

After all, poison is poison, which is harmful to human body. What if you eat it, it will be harmful to your body?

Li Shimin immediately frowned and pressed Merton to see how Merton explained.

Merton immediately retorted: "When a drop of ink drops into the basin, the water color is still black. If it drops into the pond, it will dissipate invisibly in an instant. This pesticide is a low toxicity thing. First, adding 30 kg of water will no harm to the human body. Second, it will spray six mu of land. The pesticide sprayed on each crop is very small. After killing pests, it will be cleaned after several rains. Third, it is sprayed On the surface of the grain, the grain seeds are not contaminated. Why is it poisonous? "

Hearing Merton's explanation, many people nodded and put down their trust. In this way, the toxicity of pesticide residues has been cleaned up.

The short Confucian student snorted coldly: "after all, the poison is sprinkled on the crops. No matter how much food is produced, I won't eat it."

Merton looked cold: "You haven't experienced hunger. For people who don't have enough to eat, the most important thing is to have a full meal. This pesticide is specially used to kill insects. A delicate crop is still fine, not to mention people. Besides, all the grains, wheat and rice we eat will be shelled and only rice, flour and millet will be eaten. If the people all over the world don't eat, they can be sold to Mojia village. From today on, Mojia village will make it Planting crops with pesticides, from Mo to ordinary young children, will take the grain sprayed with pesticides as food, so as to prove to the world that the grain sprayed with pesticides is harmless. "

From childhood to later generations, Merton mostly ate the food planted with pesticides. If he didn't grow up healthily, he wouldn't be afraid of these.

"I believe in mojiazi!"

"I believe it too!"

Many people immediately said that for most people, as long as they can hit more grain, everything else can be behind. Besides, they are worried about toxicity. They can also plant a piece of farmland without pesticide for their own consumption.

The tall and short Confucian scholars wanted to argue again, but suddenly found that several Mohist children appeared around them. The leader was a one armed middle-aged old man, who was the one armed Uncle Wang in charge of the safety of the ink technology exhibition.

"Please! You are not welcome in the ink art exhibition." one armed Uncle Wang said coldly.

"Why? We spent a silver or two to buy one." the tall Confucian student refused.

"Sorry, all the invitation tickets for the ink technology exhibition are free." one armed Uncle Wang raised his eyebrow and said calmly. His calm eyes made them stand up.

The people around suddenly burst into laughter. The invitation ticket is the host's invitation. If it's a bad guest, the host naturally doesn't welcome it.

The tall and short Confucian scholar immediately concluded, so he had to be invited out.

"When friends come, there is good wine, and when bad people come, there is a spear. As long as they are friends of the Mohist school, the Mohist school will try its best to entertain them. If they are evil guests, the Mohist technology exhibition will not welcome you." Merton said coldly, and couldn't help scanning the audience.

Some unscrupulous people suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. The poison of their biggest attack weapon has been cracked by Merton's fingers. Naturally, they won't be bored at the moment.

Merton nodded with satisfaction and said, "pesticide was originally an important play. In order to solve everyone's doubts, he had to make a fool of himself in advance. Let's continue to start the second ink technology. In fact, it's not ink technology, but an achievement to show you."

Merton reached out and brought out a pot of green plants from the front of the stage to show them in front of the crowd. At the same time, a group of Mohist children appeared among the crowd with pots of plants.

They were shocked. It was only February 2, and many branches had just turned green and had not sprouted. It was obvious that the plants in Merton's hands had passed the cold winter.

"Spinach!" Li Shimin immediately recognized that this was the auspicious spinach Merton gave him.

The people of Chang'an City remembered that in the ink technology exhibition, Merton spent a lot of money to buy a small bag of seeds. The Persian businessman claimed that he could survive the winter. He couldn't help but get restless.

Merton pointed to the spinach that had begun to moss and blossom in his hand and said proudly: "the Mohists solemnly announce that spinach has been successfully planted. Within a few years, spinach will certainly appear on the table of thousands of families in the winter of the Tang Dynasty."

"Good!" the crowd immediately shouted.

In a dry and yellow winter, it would be a great enjoyment to eat a mouthful of fresh and tender vegetables. Rich people can also eat pickled vegetables, which ordinary people can't even eat.

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help thinking of the scene of Mohist stealing spinach leaves and sharing the stolen goods. He immediately smiled knowingly and believed that after next year, he wouldn't have to be so sneaky.

"It seems that everyone likes to see green plants in winter," Merton said with a smile, and everyone in the stands laughed out embarrassed.

Merton then said, "maybe some people will say that you are proficient in foreign countries and can naturally find spinach. We live in the Tang Dynasty and can't go abroad. We don't have money to attract Western businessmen to send seeds."

Suddenly, many people turned red, and Merton said all the words in their hearts.

Merton smiled softly and said, "however, you don't know that there are plants that can survive the winter in Datang except pine and cypress, but you have never noticed."

Merton reached out and waved. Behind him, a cloth fell slowly, revealing three kinds of green plants. Even if it was cold in spring, it was still green. Looking at its wide leaves, it was obvious that it had just passed the winter.

"These are the plants brought by the children of the Mohists from the south of the Yangtze River. One is Holly, the other is Cinnamomum camphora, and the third is Ligustrum lucidum. These three kinds of trees are evergreen all the year round and are very cold resistant. Even in winter, when the snow is vast, they are still green. They are one of the few trees that can survive in the north," Merton said.

However, when Merton finished, the whole audience was a little cold. Everyone looked at each other and frowned.

"Maybe you think it's useless!" Merton shook his head and said, "no, everything in the world has value, but we haven't found it. You can think about it. In the vast winter, when the snow is covered and everything is withered and yellow, but there is a place full of green, like spring. Will you still think these trees are worthless?"

As soon as Merton's voice fell, behind Merton, a huge painting fell slowly.

Under the snow, a village is still green. The straight streets are separated by green belts made of holly. Camphor trees and Ligustrum lucidum leaves are covered with falling snow. Green leaves and snow complement each other.

Throughout the winter, under the snow, the dazzling green makes people particularly moved.

"This is the future plan of Mojia village. Thanks to your Majesty's love, Mojia village has been awarded the first village in the world. Naturally, it will set an example and make the construction of Mojia village perfect." Merton's voice echoed throughout the audience.

Everyone took a breath and looked at the idea of a paradise on earth. They couldn't help showing a trace of longing. The future of Mojia village is really expected.

Li Shimin looked at the shocking giant painting in front of him and said, "I'd like to see what the Mojia village can look like."

Mojia village is the benchmark he set up. The greater his achievements, the more he can prove his vision.
