Night falls!
The bustling brick road was gradually deserted, and there was no car shadow for a long time. In a tavern on both sides of the brick road, Merton led the people of Mojia village to wait quietly.
Since the brick road was built, such pubs can be found everywhere on both sides of the brick road. Now Merton spent money to pack the store. The whole pub is empty and only a group of Mohist children.
"Young master, do you think Xiangfu's pulse will come?" Fubo frowned.
Merton chuckled and said, "as a craftsman, the most unbearable thing I'm proud of is looked down upon by others. Besides, its empty door is wide open and wantonly shows its broken ink skills. The meaning of provocation is obvious. How can I be willing to be so provoked."
Since the other party can hide it silently for so long in Chang'an City, he naturally has his own vision. There will be no problem finding this place.
Fu Bo smiled bitterly when he heard the speech, but after thinking about the other party's wanton dissemination of ink skills, he had no sympathy with the other party.
"Young master, don't take it lightly. According to the records of Mohist classics, most of the Xiangfu family are stubborn people, and they are proficient in the art of ink debate. I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with them," Fubo reminded.
Merton nodded silently. However, since Xiangfu's pulse had appeared, how could he be reconciled if he didn't try to contact the following.
"I'm sorry, this place has been booked by us. We won't pick up guests for the time being! Please move to another place." tie an's voice suddenly sounded outside.
A voice sounded outside and said, "I didn't expect that this is the way of hospitality of Tangtang Mozi."
When Fu Bo heard the speech, he suddenly said, "Xiangfu's pulse?"
"Tiean, please come in!" Murton said in a deep voice.
"He is worthy of being a famous Mohist in the Tang Dynasty and has an extraordinary bearing." with the sound, a hale and hearty old man with a dark face in coarse linen entered the tavern.
"Mohist Xiangli has seen the elder!" Merton got up and saluted him respectfully.
The old man in sackcloth saluted solemnly with the same face and said, "the Mohist Xiangfu's pulse Tian Mou is polite!"
"Tian Mou?" Merton's heart moved. Mou, etc. PI, Mou, aid and push are the core logic of ink debate. The other party is obviously proficient in ink debate in the name of Mou.
"When my father was alive, let me always remember the three veins of Mohism. Now the one vein of Deng Ling's family and the one vein of Xiangfu's family have come out one after another, and our Mohist way is endless." Merton lamented that when Merton decided to carry the banner of Mohism alone, he thought he was the last existence of Mohism, but he didn't expect that the other three veins have inheritance.
Tian Mou snorted coldly, stared at Merton and said, "it is not easy to inherit the Mohist school until now. Now, I Xiangfu's family keeps in mind the Mohist School's first training and wholeheartedly inherits the Mohist school. However, even if I am far away in the mountains and forests, I hear that in Chang'an City, some people use the name of the Mohist school to pursue their own interests and openly trample on the Mohist School's first training. How can I Xiangfu sit back and be impolite."
"In the name of the Mohist family, do the self-interest of the family? Don't spit out blood." Merton's face changed.
Tian Mou looked at Merton coldly and said, "Zi Mozi said: if benevolent people do things, they will prosper the interests of the world and remove the harm of the world. Now your Mohist village relies on the secret skills of Mohist, but it is controlled by one family to make huge profits. You only enrich Mohist village. Such a selfish behavior, especially Mohist love the way of the world."
"This is the reason why you wantonly spread the secret skills of Mohism." Merton said coldly.
"Once these ink skills come into the world, they will certainly benefit the country and the people, and countless people will benefit from them. In this way, it is the way of Mohism and love." Tian Mou is worthy of color.
In his philosophy, Mohism has always been selfless. He gave up his family for everyone. Merton's behavior runs counter to Mohist philosophy.
"Didn't I disclose the secret skills of live fish, artificial incubation technology, the method of increasing grain production and the method of drought resistance? How many people in the world benefited from them? Do you know who benefited from these secret skills you disclosed? It's the dignitaries behind the workshop owners!" Merton asked.
Tian Mou was not moved at all and said, "these old men naturally know, and I can see clearly that in just half a year, the prices of various items have fallen sharply, which has benefited countless people. Maybe some people will make profits, which is also the huge profits of your Mohist village."
With the spread of ink technology, major workshops have launched similar products. Under the fierce competition, it is almost the only way to fight a price war.
Merton retorted: "you only see the huge profits of the Mohist village. How can you see the countless costs spent by the Mohist village in developing ink technology? Without the support of huge profits, how can the Mohist village continue to develop ink technology and lose the advantages of ink technology? Where is the future of my Mohist village?"
Tian Mou stubbornly said, "without the idea of Mohism, it is useless to develop and grow. Moreover, my Mohism pursues the method of saving money. After I came to Chang'an City, I visited the whole Mohist village for the first time. The villagers live in tall and brand-new brick houses, wear silk and satin, and go in and out in carriages. What's the method of Mohism?" Tian Mou patted his coarse linen clothes and said proudly.
The Mohist School advocated frugality, and the Mohists wore coarse linen clothes day and night. They were extremely bitter and did not make superfluous enjoyment. In Tian Mou's opinion, the Mohist village had become greedy for pleasure and lost the essence of Mohism, so they decided to destroy the Mohist village without hesitation.
Merton said loudly, "is my Mohist School doomed to be poor and destitute and to make wedding clothes for others? The children of Mohist school can not enter the officialdom and enjoy prosperity and wealth like Confucianism and France; nor can they pursue the past life like Buddhism and Taoism. They can't even make themselves better by relying on their own skills. Who still wants to join Mohist school? I'm afraid my Mohist school will only die at that time."
Merton's words can be said to speak the heart of many Mohist children. They have had enough of a poor life and finally made the Mohist village better. Who is willing to go back to the old days.
"Yang Zhu, an ancient man, said: if you lose a penny, you won't benefit the world. Now you open the secret skills. If the Mojia village loses only a penny, the world will benefit. If the Mojia village can't even do this, what's the way of Mojia." Tian Mou said firmly.
Yang Zhu is a Taoist who promotes self-interest. Mencius said: the words of Yang Zhu and Mo Zhai enrich the world. If the words of the world do not belong to Yang, they belong to mo. The studies of Yang Zhu and Mohism are contradictory theories.
"In that case, why don't you make your ink skills public and benefit the world?" Merton sneered.
Tian Mou was speechless.
"Because Xiangfu's pulse doesn't benefit the world at all! That's why you stand and talk without backache." Merton sneered.
Tian Mou was furious and said, "boy, you are arrogant and dare to insult me."
Merton shook his head and sneered: "now my Mohist school has reached the time of life and death. If it doesn't change, it will die. Since you came out of the mountain with Xiangfu's pulse, boy, I'd like to see your Xiangfu's pulse carry forward the great moves of Mohist school."
"Then we'll wait and see." Tian Mou got up angrily, and the two sides parted unhappily.
Looking at Tian Mou's leaving figure, fulberton sighed with a sigh: "Xiangfu's pulse is not easy to appear in the world. Young master, why deliberately excite him."
In Fubo's opinion, if Merton advised, maybe Tian Mou could not enter the Mojia village. The merger of the two veins is more powerful.
Merton shook his head and said, "now that Mohism has suddenly risen, I'm afraid some people must not want to see a unified Mohism. A split Mohism will reassure everyone. Moreover, Xiangfu's pulse is different from our ideas. If we forcibly merge, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."
"How can Xiangfu know the young master's painstaking efforts to damage the Mojia village and enrich the world? This is the young master's plan long ago." Fubo sighed.
Morton swept away his anger and said with a light smile, "there is a Xiangfu who spreads ink skills in a continuous way. The effect is better than our deliberate dissemination. It takes so much effort to invest all his wealth in a workshop. How can he easily let go and steal our ink skills? That is, he gets on our thief ship and can't get down if he wants to."
How can the ink technology they have worked hard to get not be regarded as a peerless treasure, and how can they give up easily after paying so much price, not to mention the motivation to make money. Subject to the restrictions of transportation, there is still a big gap in today's Datang market. As long as these people don't kill themselves, making money is certain. Once they taste the taste of profit, they won't give up easily.
Once the workshops using ink technology bloom everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, it is the moment of the rise of Mohism.
