Chapter 828

"Tell me, young master! The gift has been delivered." Li Xin, who hurried back from the east of the city, came to Merton and reported respectfully.

Merton nodded and said with a smile, "I hope brother Li can understand my pains."

Wu Meiniang on one side said discontentedly, "the Xiangfu family's pulse is so aimed at us. The master also gives us gifts and promises a high position. It's too cheap for them."

"It's not cheap for them. As long as Li Yun's master and servant bring three kinds of rulers and two bridge design drawings back to Xiangfu's pulse, it will certainly cause an uproar in Xiangfu's pulse. All the time, Mojia village is in the Ming Dynasty, Xiangfu's pulse is in the dark, and the enemy is in the dark. Mojia village has always been passive, and the Weihe River Bridge is the bait that leads Xiangfu's pulse." Merton said proudly.

"That's the Weihe River Bridge! Master, how can you bargain with outsiders!" Wu Meiniang said reluctantly.

Merton hummed coldly: "Cheap, you think the Weihe River is not comparable to Qujiang River, and the Weihe River Bridge is not comparable to the Qujiang River beam bridge. Now the beam bridge is just emerging, and the Weihe River Bridge only stays on the theory, which requires more than ten million work. The background of Mojia village in this aspect is too shallow to compare with the Xiangfu immersed in the bridge for decades "One pulse."

Building a bridge across the Weihe River requires too much bridge knowledge. Any small mistake will cause serious consequences. In any way, the Xiangfu vein behind Li Yun is the best choice.

Wu Meiniang was speechless when she heard the speech. The construction of Qujiang bridge in Mojia village depends entirely on the powerful technology, solid materials and Merton's advanced concept of Mojia village. However, when it comes to the theory of bridge construction, I'm afraid Mojia village is still in a small white state, and I'm afraid it's really incompetent for the construction of Weihe River Bridge.

"Merton, well, it's time for us to enter the palace!" just about this, Princess Changle suddenly came in and said.

Merton then got up and said, "well, the Qujiang bridge has been completed. I'll appear and report the good news to your majesty. By the way, see how much the imperial court can allocate to build the Weihe bridge!"

Princess Changle couldn't help staring at Merton. She really had no way to take Merton and Li Shimin. The Weng son-in-law was a natural enemy. Li Shimin often cheated his son-in-law. Every time Merton went to see Li Shimin, he always brought some problems that made Li Shimin headache.

"Princess Changle and her son-in-law have returned to the palace!

When Princess Changle returned to the palace, the whole palace immediately became a sensation. You know, Merton and Princess Changle almost made the headlines in Chang'an City during this period of time.

In particular, with the upsurge of the legend of the White Snake, the reputation of Princess Changle has risen to a higher level and has simply become an idol in women's hearts. The dispute between the two veins of Mohism, Qujiang bridge inspection and public apprenticeship, has amazed the world.

People smack their tongues one after another. The pattern of all schools of thought is indeed extraordinary. The most people bet is to win or lose some money, and the dispute over the ideas of all schools of thought is confirmed by the frequent bridge.

"Sister Changle!"

"Brother in law!"

The princes and princesses gathered around them and chattered.

"This is a gift I brought to you!" Princess Changle smiled and greeted her brothers and sisters, giving them exquisite books.

"Wow! The legend of the white snake! Still with illustrations!" Princess Jinyang took the book and looked at the exquisite patterns. She exclaimed with joy.

This is a separate edition of the biography of the White Snake specially printed by Ink magazine, and printed with illustrations specially created by Ziyi. It is extremely exquisite, which immediately makes a lot of princes and princesses love it.

"Meet at the broken bridge!"

"Borrow an umbrella from the West Lake!"

"The water is all over Jinshan Temple!"

………………………………

One by one exquisite illustration makes everyone love it and can't help holding it in their arms.

"Brother in law, is the bridge you built really so strong?"

"Brother in law, is the hedgehog rule true?"

"I want a steel ruler, too!"

……………………

Most of the princesses gathered next to Princess Changle, while the princes surrounded Merton and chattered. Merton's magical means attracted them most.

"When you are free, I can show you the Qujiang bridge in person." Merton smiled and responded to the princes one by one.

"Well, Merton and Changle have just returned to the palace. Don't bother. Go and learn your lessons!" finally, empress changsun and Li Shimin came together, which helped them out.

"I don't want to listen to those doctor's lectures. They are boring. How can they be as fun as brother-in-law's lectures!" Li Zhi said discontentedly.

The doctor in charge of teaching the princes is hongwenguan. He teaches four books and five classics or history books and laws every day, which is extremely boring. Compared with Professor Merton's Wu Meiniang's schoolwork, not only field teaching, but also witty and interesting philosophical stories are deep, hierarchical and interesting. In contrast, Li Zhi is naturally very reluctant to listen to those boring courses.

When Merton heard the speech, he couldn't help persuading: "most Mohist theories are extremely profound and need a certain foundation to learn. When you officially lay the foundation now, if you want to learn Mohist theories in the future, I will naturally give it to you."

Merton could not help lamenting that Li Zhi was really an ignorant and fearless person. It was recognized that science knowledge in later generations was difficult. It was not as easy to understand as liberal arts. Li Zhi really didn't know his blessing in his blessing. I hope he won't regret it in the future.

Merton said good or bad, which persuaded Li Zhi reluctantly to go.

Li Shimin saw all this in his eyes and nodded with a smile. Naturally, he also heard what Merton taught. Even he had to sigh that Wu Meiniang did meet a good teacher. However, the royal family pursued Confucian education. If he rashly changed to Mohist school, it would certainly cause an uproar. Fortunately, Merton properly solved all this.

"Your father and Morton have something to do. You, my mother and daughter go and say something about yourself!" empress changsun had not seen Princess Changle for a long time, so she took the initiative to pull Princess Changle away and left Morton and Li Shimin.

"Tell the emperor, I'm lucky to live up to my orders and finally built the Qujiang bridge!" Merton solemnly said to Li Shimin.

"Well, you didn't disappoint me this time!" Li Shimin naturally heard about the shocking achievements of Qujiang girder bridge. When he saw Merton build Qujiang bridge into a girder bridge, he was greatly amazed, but he didn't expect that the real Qujiang girder bridge should be so strong. At least the current load-bearing of vehicles and horses could not pose a threat to Qujiang girder bridge.

Merton couldn't help but show a proud smile, suddenly looked at Li Shimin, quickly restored his serious expression and said: "I inform your majesty that since the Qujiang bridge has proved that reinforced concrete is indeed the best thing to build a bridge, I think the next bridge can also be started."

"Weihe bridge!" Li Shimin immediately breathed, and the majestic bridge in the picture could not help but emerge in his mind. When he first saw the schematic diagram of Weihe bridge, the bridge had been deeply engraved in his mind for a long time.

As long as the Weihe River Bridge is built, there will be no traffic restrictions in Chang'an city. The benefits need not be said by others. Li Shimin has long been excited.

"How long will the bridge be completed?" Li Shimin asked solemnly.

Merton thought for a moment and said, "if we let the Mojia village build, it will take at least ten years!"

"Ten years!" Li Shimin exclaimed. He never thought that the construction period of Weihe River Bridge should be so long.

Merton nodded solemnly: "there has never been a precedent for such a long bridge since ancient times. I don't know how many difficulties have been overcome. It's hard to build it in ten years."

"But it's too long!" Li Shimin said discontentedly.

"But if Xiangfu's family comes to repair it, it can be repaired in five years at most as long as there is sufficient money supply from the imperial court." Merton said.

"Xiangfu's vein is the descendant of Li Chun!" Li Shimin murmured.

Even he has heard of Li Chun's name. Li Chun is the most famous bridge expert in the previous dynasty. The Zhaozhou Bridge built under his supervision has been extremely amazing, and countless great craftsmen have been impressed by it.

The Qujiang arch bridge built under the supervision of his descendant Li Yun just fell into the downwind compared with the beam bridge made of steel and cement not long ago, and its bridge building technology has naturally been confirmed.

"If you push the Weihe River bridge off to Xiangfu's pulse, it won't be your boy who wants to be lazy!" Li Shimin deeply doubts Merton's motivation. With his understanding of Merton, he can't sit still with Merton's character for several years.

Merton immediately complained: "Your Majesty, wronged! Weichen is bent on thinking for the sake of the imperial court. The Weihe River Bridge is very important to Chang'an city. Naturally, it can't be lost. Xiangfu has accumulated countless bridge repair skills for several generations. Instead of being buried in the deep mountains, it's better to use it on the Weihe River Bridge, which is not buried."

Li Shimin snorted coldly. Naturally, he knew the accumulation of Xiangfu's pulse in bridge construction, and the Weihe River Bridge was too important for Chang'an city. If he added the help of Xiangfu's pulse, he would be safe.

"If Xiangfu doesn't come out of the mountain, you'll stay by the Weihe River. When will the Weihe River Bridge be built and when will you return to Chang'an City?" Li Shimin said coldly.

Merton smiled confidently and said, "don't worry, your majesty. No craftsman in the world can refuse the temptation of the Weihe River Bridge. This time, Xiangfu's pulse must be unbearable. At that time, as long as the money and food of the imperial court don't lag behind!"

"200000 passes!" Li Shimin thought of the cost of playing the Weihe River Bridge in Merton. The cost of the Weihe River Bridge is too high. You know, it only took 400000 passes to build the brick road from Chang'an city to Luoyang.

Merton has always been committed to making the Tang Court spend money. Seeing Li Shimin's doubt, he quickly explained: "As the saying goes, it has always cost a lot to build houses and repair bridges on Jinqiao Yinlu copper road. Moreover, the Weihe River Bridge project is huge, and the materials and labor required are countless. 200000 Guan is not much, but fortunately, the 200000 Guan does not need the imperial court at once, but only needs to be appropriated by the imperial court in batches within five years."

"200000 Guan will be appropriated in batches within five years!" Li Shimin was relieved. In this way, the imperial court can bear it.

"Of course, if your majesty thinks the cost is too much, our Mojia village can bear the 200000 yuan, as long as your majesty allows Mojia village to collect the bridge fee for 20 years on the Weihe River Bridge." Merton urged the general.

"Don't even think about it!" Li Shimin flatly refused. Once the Weihe River Bridge is built, it is the main artery in the north of Chang'an city. Pedestrians, cars and horses flow continuously every day. Even if one person has a penny, he can make a lot of money.

Merton could not help sighing with regret. The Weihe River Bridge was the real cornucopia. Li Shimin would not let it go. Even if the imperial court was in financial tension, he finally gritted his teeth to support it.

"You have such confidence to build the Weihe River Bridge, is it relying on which so-called bank?" Li Shimin flashed his eyes.

Mojia village bank was built not far from the rosefinch gate. Naturally, it can't hide from Li Shimin. Now Merton nodded: "the purpose of Mojia village bank is to facilitate the internal business operation of Mojia village, but it's not too difficult for Mojia village to gather a fortune."

Seeing Merton's acknowledgement, Li Shimin couldn't help showing an inexplicable look and said, "the Mohists want to dabble in the bank business, but have they ever thought about the reaction of the Zi Qian family."

"Son Qian's family!" Merton said in his heart.

"This is a very ancient and mysterious family. Although it has a bad reputation, its power is extremely huge. It is hidden in all walks of life and grows like a gadfly. In both prosperous and troubled times, there is always the existence of Ziqian family, and even the shadow of Ziqian family in the change of dynasties." Li Shimin thought deeply.

Merton suddenly said word by word: "historical records, biographies of goods colonization"

Ziqian is an ancient business, earlier than all schools of thought, and it is really recorded in historical records.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "yes, it was the first and last time Ziqian family appeared in front of the world. But Ziqian family never disappeared."

Merton was shocked. His background was still too shallow. He originally thought that Buddhism was the mastermind of Indian money. However, in his contact with Buddhism, Merton gradually denied this view, but he didn't expect that there was a mysterious hundred families behind indian money - Zi Qian family.

"The bank is not money. If the money family wants a war, the Mohists will not shrink back." Merton said firmly.

If Mohism wants to develop, it must be supported by a large amount of money. Banking is the most important link in the revival of Mohism. Whoever wants to stop the revival of Mohism must pass his Morton first.
