Chapter 896

Merton ignored the hot discussion in Chang'an city. When Apple became popular in the Tang Dynasty, they naturally knew how cost-effective the business was.

However, just as Merton was living a world of two with Princess Changle, a news interrupted the peace of the Merton house.

"Young master, Li Yun is leading Xiangfu's line to Chang'an city." Fubo hurried to report.

Merton did not move in his heart, but showed a look of silence and said, "so, Li Yun actually moved the old stubborn of Xiangfu's pulse?"

Fubo shook his head and said, "according to the news of the children of the Mohists, only more than 20 people followed Li Yun. There is not even a tenth of the Xiangfu family."

Xiangfu's family has been living in seclusion. Compared with the past, there are more Mohist children inherited. Of course, the most legitimate one is Li Yun.

"More than twenty people are enough. As long as Xiangfu's pulse is no longer a frog at the bottom of the well, the rest will be unable to sit down soon." Merton is in a good mood. He has no prejudice against Xiangfu's pulse. After all, Mohist ink skills are all inclusive. Mohist village alone is weak. It is very difficult for Mohist to make ordinary people accept Mohist ideas, and Xiangfu's pulse, Is the best choice to expand Mohism. Seeing the strength of Mohism's ink technology, Merton didn't believe that Xiangfu's pulse and was moved by it.

However, just before the arrival of most of Xiangfu's people, Li Yun led a thin old man in ink clothes to quietly appear outside the east gate of Chang'an city. If Merton came here again, he would surely recognize that this person was Tian Mou who wantonly spread the secret skills of Mohism.

"It's a luxury to pave the road with bricks. As far as I know, the brick road has lasted thousands of miles. The chaotang Treasury is empty, and the Mohist family simply put the Mohist's concept of saving money behind them." Tian Mou scolded. Even if he came out of the mountain again, he still doesn't like all kinds of things about Merton.

Li Yun said with a wry smile: "second uncle, you've seen the advantages of brick road all the way. Although it costs a little money, you can go through both wind and rain. Otherwise, take the heavy rain the day before yesterday, you can stop us in Luoyang for three or five days. Moreover, the brick road is durable and durable. It's a good policy not to use corvee to build the road every year."

In the past, the main project was to build roads. This year, with the prevalence of brick roads, most of the people's corvee was used to build brick roads. For a time, the brick roads in Datang spread again, even across the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, or the good way from north to South first.

"Brick road is not mentioned for the time being, but what's the matter with the legendary Mohist son in Chang'an City exchanging gold with fist size for a fruit?" Tian Mou snorted coldly.

"This is just a horse bone bought by Mozi!" Li Yun waved his hand. He had personally dealt with Mozi. Naturally, he didn't think that Morton was such a person.

Tian Mou Leng hummed, "even if you buy horse bones with thousands of money, you still spend thousands of money, which is contrary to the behavior of the Mohist school."

Mohism has always acted in coarse clothes and shoes, which is the consistent style of Mohism. Merton's behavior has been divorced from Li Yun's impression of Mohism and can't help but say nothing.

Tian Mou said with a smile: "Mozi was extravagant and induced the imperial court to overhaul the brick road, but he didn't know the opportunity for the prosperity of the Xiangfu family of Mozi. The brick road in the world was unimpeded, but it was blocked by the river. Only the Xiangfu family in the world had the most exquisite bridge building skills. Once the bridge was built for the rivers in the world, the world would be unimpeded. Isn't it in line with the Mohist's concept of loving the world."

Li Yun looked at Tian MOU with an excited face. He couldn't help but stop talking. He wanted to remind Tian Mou about building a bridge. The arch bridge he designed lost to Merton's beam bridge. Even this time, the design drawing of Weishui bridge was provided by Merton.

When he admitted that he and mojiazi competed to build a bridge, but failed, the whole Xiangfu family was in an uproar. Then Li Yun put the drawing of the combination of iron cable bridge and beam bridge in front of the Xiangfu family, the whole Xiangfu family was half convinced, and the bridge drawing of the combination of arch bridge and beam bridge completely shocked the Xiangfu family.

That's why he had the opportunity to bring out more than 20 children of the Xiangfu family. After all, even the extremely conservative Xiangfu family, who has lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, can't stand the temptation of the Weishui bridge.

"Come on, I'll see the arch bridge you built in Chang'an city!" Tian Mou waved and walked into Chang'an city.

On the Qujiang arch bridge, Tian Mou looked at the arch bridge at his feet with satisfaction and said, "yes, quite the essence of your grandfather."

The Qujiang arch bridge built by Li Yun uses Mohist machinery, coupled with the support of Mohist money and the unique bridge building technology of Xiangfu family, the arch bridge built by Li Yun is the best bridge seen by Tian Mou. Even in terms of load-bearing, Qujiang girder bridge is probably half better than Zhaozhou Bridge.

"Nephew, I'm ashamed. I can't compare with my ancestors." Li Yun said with a bitter smile. After Li Chun built Zhaozhou Bridge, he was famous all over the world. However, when he built Qujiang arch bridge, he was defeated by the beam bridge of mojiazi. The world praised mojiazi. Where do you remember Li Yun.

"You just lost under this bridge!" Tian Mou looked at the busy Qujiang girder bridge across from him. Even if he was not close, he could still see that the traffic on the Qujiang girder bridge was endless. In contrast, the Qujiang arch bridge built by Li Yun had a lot of people, but most of them were pedestrians and there were few vehicles. In this regard alone, the arch bridge has lost.

Li Yun nodded solemnly and said, "yes, this is the beam bridge. It's effortless to walk across the bridge, so even if passing carriages detour for several miles, they will choose to pass through the beam bridge."

In front of them, a fully loaded truck did not hesitate to turn in front of the arch bridge and went straight to the beam bridge. After all, no matter how well the arch bridge was built, there was a certain slope, and the fully loaded truck did not necessarily go up. What's more, some rickshaw drivers who cherish horsepower did not take the arch bridge even if they were empty.

"Liang Qiao!" Tian Mou couldn't help but be silent. At that time, he argued with mojiazi. Although he was eloquent, he found that in practice, Xiangfu's pulse was indeed too much worse than Xiangli's pulse. The only thing he could do was bridge. He finally agreed to go out of the mountain with Li Yun, just to prove the strength of Xiangfu's pulse to mojiazi.

When he stepped on the bridge and touched the cold concrete, he couldn't help sneering: "the workmanship is rough and outrageous. The Mohist is just relying on the benefits of steel and cement and some fantastic ideas! There is no art of building a bridge."

In the eyes of outsiders, Tian Mou's satire of Mohism will certainly be treated like a fool, but Li Yun knows that what Tian Mou said is the truth. The beam bridge built by Merton can be said to be made of reinforced concrete. Even ordinary children can be built with these materials.

"However, this is the most powerful part of Mojia village. They always have an endless stream of new materials, which are easier than the craft we have studied for many years." Li Yun said bitterly.

When he competed at that time, he naturally knew where he had lost. The Qujiang arch bridge was the crystallization of the bridge repair technology of the Tang Dynasty, and the Qujiang beam bridge was the first show of new materials in Mojia village. As a result, the beam bridge built by Merton was a complete victory.

Just like Xiangfu's vein and Mojia village's vein, Xiangfu's vein pays more attention to theory and technology, while Mojia village devotes itself to studying materials. Although sometimes technology and theory can bring incredible effects, the fundamental bearing technology is materials, let alone the industry of Mojia village.

Tian Mou sneered: "don't worry, I laid out a year ago and cracked a lot of the secret skills of Mohism and spread them to major workshops in Chang'an city. Now it's time to harvest. Maybe we can get rid of the material restrictions of Mohist village. At that time, Xiangfu's pulse won't be subject to Mohist Zi."

Looking at Tian Mou's proud look, Li Yun couldn't help smiling bitterly. It seems that uncle Tian is too optimistic. I'm afraid there is little technology that can surpass the Mohist village in Datang.

"Yes, I'll know when I wait for Dongshi." Tian Mou said confidently. At the beginning, he spread the craft of Mojia village in Chang'an City, and these achievements will naturally appear in Dongshi.

Chang'an east city, the two soon came to an iron shop. Tian moulang said, "come and bring the best steel bars in your shop."

"All right!" a shopkeeper waved his hand and a waiter lifted out a heavy steel bar.

Tian Mou stretched out his hand and bumped. He found a fulcrum and broke it with the lever principle. He bent down. He couldn't help laughing: "this is your steel!"

"That's natural. These are the superior steel bars in Chang'an city. We spent a lot of effort to crack the steel-making process in Mojia village." the shopkeeper said proudly.

Tian Mou was speechless with anger. He cracked these steel-making technologies and passed them to the steel-making workshop, but he didn't expect that the other party still used his old set, and there was no progress at all.

"What about the steel in Mojia village?" Tian Mou sneered.

"This craft comes from Mohist school, which is naturally comparable to that of Mohist village, but now Mohist village has developed the second generation of steel, which is slightly better than us." the shopkeeper boasted.

Tian Mou was immediately disappointed. At that time, when he cracked the steel in Mojia village, he had seen the steel in Mojia village. Even at that time, the steel produced in Mojia village was better than these steels. These workshops took the technology provided by him and did not make progress, but there was a backward trend.

Later, when he was in Dongshi, he found that many workshops were using the Mohist technology he had originally spread. However, only a few improved their technology. Rao is so, but it is still far from Mohist products.

"It seems that I still think highly of these workshops." Tian Mou said helplessly.

According to the bridge repair drawings of mojiazi, the most needed is high-quality steel. It seems that Xiangfu can't get rid of mojiazi in a short time.
