Li Shimin talked with Merton for a long time, and then left with satisfaction.
As soon as Li Shimin left, Wu Meiniang carefully moved to Merton, apologized on her face and said, "I know my mistake, and please punish me."
Merton sighed and said, "your method is not wrong, even the most correct method, but you ignore human nature. The lion is a thousand mile horse and a priceless treasure. You can kill it in front of it. No one likes it. It's foolish to say it in public!"
Wu Meiniang nodded as if she knew something.
Although later generations of Wu Meiniang are complacent about this, imagine that Wu Meiniang has been a talented person in the palace for more than ten years. For this reason, she said: "Killing is the worst means. Once your hands are stained with blood, you will never be washed away. Everyone will avoid you like snakes and scorpions. Even if one day you really have to retreat, don't let anyone know your killing heart, including being a teacher."
Wu Meiniang nodded after being taught.
Merton sighed and said, "get up. You will understand these things slowly in the future. Now let Ziyi supervise your study first. If you don't understand the Mojing, you can consult Fubo. If you don't understand the arithmetic, you can consult shopkeeper Xu. Every ten days, the teacher will teach you in person."
After all, Wu Meiniang is the daughter of the Duke of China. Her knowledge base has been firmly established. She doesn't have to worry too much about cultural knowledge.
"Young master, don't worry, Ziyi will supervise Meiniang!" Ziyi, who had been waiting for her for a long time, nodded repeatedly. It turned out that she was the only girl in the Mo mansion. Now Wu Meiniang came to accompany her. She was eager for it?
"Don't worry, master. I will learn the Mojing in the shortest time!" Wu Meiniang said respectfully.
Merton shook his head, gloated and said, "as a major disciple of Mohism, you have to learn more than that. When I'm away, you can read the books in this study at will. You can't deeply study the theories of hundreds of schools, but you can't understand them."
Wu Meiniang looked at the books in the study. She was black in front of her eyes and said, "disciple, obey!"
When she met the master of this habitual pit disciple, she was unable to get off the thief ship. However, she had no regret in her heart, but vaguely looked forward to it.
Last night at xuandu temple, she witnessed the scene of the confrontation between Mohism and Taoism, which shocked her too much. At this time, she knew that life could be so wonderful, far more than the dryness of the high wall swing embroidery building. She joined Mohism and a new world is slowly opening to her.
When Merton left, he glanced at Wu Meiniang, who was concentrating on reading, and nodded with satisfaction. For the famous Wu Zetian in history, even he thought he was not qualified to teach. The only free range teaching he could do was to give full play to his nature.
Merton went out of his study and was greeted by fuber, who had already been waiting on the side.
"Say in the living room!" Merton waved, and they came to the living room of the ink house together.
"Back, young master, this is the bill of Mojia village this year. Please have a look at it!" Fu Bo respectfully handed over an account book.
Merton took a look, immediately frowned and said, "there is a deficit of 50000 Guan!"
This is the annual bill of Mojia village. After deducting the expenses and costs of the whole year, Mojia village has just balanced its revenue and expenditure, but the 50000 Guan deposit to solve thousands of worries has been spent. In fact, the 50000 Guan is in deficit.
Fu Bo said with a wry smile, "if you add the 50000 Guan bonds that have already been spent, the deficit will be as high as 100000 Guan! This does not count the money donated by the villagers of Mojia village."
Last year, the whole Mojia village seemed to be in debt for 10000 Guan, but in fact it was still in surplus. However, in only one year, the debt of Mojia village was as high as 50000 Guan, plus 50000 Guan national debt and more than 30000 Guan donations from the villagers, which was as much as 130000.
However, where is the money spent? It can be said that man Chang'an city knows that Mojia village has a serious loss, but it is impossible to know that the products of Mojia village, even if the technology leaks, can still crush the small workshops that have just got up.
When Merton saw the account books of Mojia village, he finally knew where the money of Mojia village was spent. Supporting Mr. Li's compulsory education can only be regarded as a small part, and the real big part is all spent on the expansion of Mojia village.
At the beginning of the year, the Mohist village was granted the world by Li Shimin. If nothing happens, the expansion of the Mohist village is radical, but it can still be sustained. However, Xiangfu's pulse suddenly intervened, the Mohist secret skills leaked out, and a large number of small workshops surged up. The profitability of the Mohist village decreased greatly, and even some losses occurred. The construction of the Mohist village is in full swing and immersed in a dream Mojia village is not aware of all this, or is unwilling to give up most of the expansion, so that the gap is getting bigger and bigger.
If Merton was in Mojia village, it might be solved in time. However, at that time, the western expedition was in full swing, and Merton had no time to take care of Mojia village, which slowly led to the crisis.
"Young master, the Confucian journal collected the accounts of the Mohist village and openly questioned the usefulness of 130000 Guan." outside the Mohist house, Xu Jie came in a hurry with a Confucian journal.
Merton took a look at the Confucian journal. He saw that the Confucian journal directly calculated that there were 130000 accounts in the Mohist village in combination with the liabilities of the Mohist village and the bills of suppliers, and publicly questioned the Mohist village in the Confucian journal.
Fubo frowned and said, "young master, Confucianism magazine's move is malicious. It must be to let the world misunderstand my Mohist village."
130000 Guan is not a small amount. Apart from the imperial court, which one can have such a large expenditure and the whereabouts of so much money are unknown. Let alone ordinary people, I'm afraid the imperial court will be suspicious.
Merton sneered: "the body of Mojia village is not afraid of the shadow. What's terrible? What's the progress of the expansion of Mojia village."
Fuber said with a trace of excitement: "the main project has been completed, and only a small part has been stopped because of the young master's order."
He saw the expansion map of Mojia village. Once completed, it will amaze the whole Tang Dynasty. At that time, the name of Mojia village, the first village in the world, will live up to its name.
Merton pondered for a moment and said, "at the end of this year, the list of Mojia village will be truthfully published in the sub ink journal, and a sum of money will be allocated to Mojia village. The remaining projects will be completed as soon as possible, and the Mojia village must be opened within this year. The world doesn't want to know where the money of Mojia village is spent, so let's talk with a new Mojia village!"
"Yes, young master!" Forbes nodded.
"By the way, you tell Uncle Li that there is no salary for the rest of the construction period, so let him and all the villagers work in person." Merton added at last.
"Yes, young master!" Fubo didn't get angry at the speech, but showed a smile. Merton's move seemed to punish, but it gave Li Yi and Mojia village a chance to atone for their achievements.
After all, Li Yi and Mohist village made such a big mistake. It would be unreasonable if Merton didn't blame them. Now Merton has punished Li Yi and Mohist villagers, which means that the matter has been exposed.
