Li Yun and Tian Mou looked at each other, and the scene was a little awkward.
"What's the matter?" Merton wondered.
Li Yun said: "there are some differences on the location of piers."
"Oh!" Merton raised his eyebrows.
Li Yun stretched out his hand and took Merton to the side of the Weihe River, pointing to the Weihe River where the water level dropped sharply: "brother Mo, please see, the water level of the Weihe River is low in winter, but it still occupies one third of the width of the river. If the pier is selected in the river, four piers need to be built. In this way, although the construction period will be doubled, it will ensure the safety of the bridge."
Merton nodded. This is indeed a safe method, but if they all choose this safe method, I'm afraid Li Yun won't be so tangled.
Sure enough, Li Yun continued: "if you widen the distance between the piers and set the two piers on the beach exposed by the drop of water level, you only need to build two piers. The construction period and construction difficulty will be greatly reduced, but I'm afraid the risk will be doubled due to the increase of the distance between the piers."
Merton realized that Li Yun was tangled, which was really a difficult problem.
"I propose to choose the first site and build four piers. Although it takes time and labor, it is very safe. Weishui bridge is the best opportunity for the revival of Xiangfu's line, and there must be no mistakes." Tian Mou firmly said. In his opinion, since it is from the imperial court and Mojia village, Xiangfu's line only needs to complete the task and build Weishui bridge, Why take the risk to build a bridge with two piers.
"Brother Li, what about you?" Merton turned his head and asked.
Li Yun gritted his teeth and said, "I'm in favor of the second scheme. This is the first show of Xiangfu's family. It's going to show the amazing Tang Dynasty. How can our Mohists and ordinary craftsmen be afraid of hands and feet for security? Moreover, the second scheme seems to be risky, but it is feasible in theory."
"It's nonsense! You bet on the future of Xiangfu's family. If you fail, the consequences will be unimaginable." Tian Mou angrily scolded.
Li Yun gritted his teeth and said, "as brother Mo said, although the first person to eat crabs takes great risks, he can also get unimaginable gains."
"The first person to eat crabs!" Merton couldn't help smiling bitterly. This sentence had such a wide influence that even Li Yun was deeply affected by it.
Tian Mou just wanted to refute, but found that this sentence was the speech of Mo Sheng in Mo Zi's secret book, which could not refute Tian Mou, who had always regarded the Mo Sutra as the Holy Scripture.
"No, absolutely not. Not only I won't agree, but even Xiangfu's pulse won't agree." Tian Mou couldn't argue with Li Yun and directly pressed people with the force.
Li Yun couldn't help venting his anger when he heard the speech. In the final analysis, he had a low seniority in the Xiangfu family. Tian Mou took the lead in opposing his plan. Other children of the Xiangfu family also joined in pursuit of stability. Li Yun suddenly became weak in the Xiangfu family.
Seeing this, Merton couldn't help but say, "I don't know who was appointed by the imperial court to supervise the construction of the Weishui bridge?"
As soon as Li Yun's eyes lit up, he couldn't help shouting, "it's me!"
Although Tian Mou was highly respected, after all, Li Yun had a glorious precedent for building Qujiang arch bridge. After Li Chun of Zhaozhou Bridge, he entrusted Li Yun with the task of supervising the construction of Weishui bridge.
Merton could not deny that: "since you are the person who majored in the Weishui bridge, the final decision is naturally up to you. I think the construction of Zhaozhou Bridge by Li Chun was also questioned. If he was timid in choosing, I'm afraid there would be no miracle of Zhaozhou Bridge in the world."
Li Yun's heart couldn't help but suddenly brighten up and said firmly: "Li has decided to take the second plan."
"You...!" Tian Mou was so angry that he was defeated. In his opinion, Li Yun had been in contact with the Mohist School for a long time, and even some rebellious scriptures had left the way.
"Please also ask Tian shuchengquan," Li Yun said solemnly.
Seeing this, Tian Mou said, "it seems that I'm old and can't keep up with the times."
"Uncle Tian!" Li Yun said with some trepidation.
Li Yun waved his hand and said, "I know you want to reproduce the miracle of your grandfather Li Chun. I hope you can remember that there is a series of honor and disgrace behind you."
"Remember, nephew." Li Yun said solemnly.
"I won't bother about the Weishui bridge any more. I'll return to Xiangfu's vein tomorrow." Tian Mou said decisively.
"Wait a minute!" Murton said suddenly.
"What advice does Mo Hou give?" Tian Mou looked at Merton and said.
"There is a position in Mojia village that Mr. Tian must be interested in." Merton said meaningfully.
"Mohou also wants to attract Tian?" Tian Mou said with a smile. There are many contradictions between the two veins. How can he betray Xiangfu's vein and invest in Mojia village.
Even Li Yun looked at Merton suspiciously. Merton just supported himself to drive Tian Mou away and began to solicit in the twinkling of an eye. It's a coincidence.
"It's not solicitation but employment. Master Li, the former editor in chief of Mohist Ink magazine, has asked to resign many times. The editor in chief of today's Ink magazine is waiting. I don't know if Mr. Tian is interested." Merton solemnly said.
After Mr. Li returned to Confucianism, it was naturally inconvenient to serve as the chief editor of the Confucian journal. Merton thought about it. I'm afraid only Tian Mou is the most suitable.
"Editor in chief of Ink magazine!" Tian Mou couldn't help but feel his heart beating. Xiangfu lived in seclusion for many years. He really began to understand that there was still an ink magazine outside. He inadvertently fell into his hands. He never thought that one day he would advocate Ink magazine.
"I don't know how much authority I have." Tian Mou said a little.
"It's all up to you to decide the ink print, but the ink print report must be realistic, which is the bottom line," Merton Lang said.
"Even Mojia village can report!" Tian Mou asked.
Merton naturally said, "in addition to the secret skills of the Mohist school, the Mohist school has to report."
"OK, I'll take over the chief editor." Tian Mou decided.
"OK, then Mo is waiting for you." Merton Lang said. Seeing that it's getting late, he was ready to get up and leave.
Li Yun hurriedly got up to send him off and said, "thank you, brother Mo, for your advice, otherwise Li must be timid."
Merton said, "although I support you, the risk is still that the risk will not be reduced by half. I think you need someone to reduce the risk for you."
"Who is this expert?" Li Yun asked solemnly.
"You should have heard of this person, Zu Mingjun, the founder of parabola after learning mathematics. I'm afraid he's the only one who can help you most." Merton said
"It was him!" Li Yun suddenly realized. The reflection of the suspension bridge is a parabola. I'm afraid only this person can be the most proficient in it,
"Mojia village and Xiangfu have been in conflict for thousands of years. Why do you help so." Li Yun thought for a moment and finally asked.
"Although the two veins have different ideas, they belong to Mohist school. Now Mohist school is waiting for prosperity. Every Mohist power is valuable. I am not helping Xiangfu's vein, but for Mohist school." Merton Zhuang said seriously.
Seeing Merton's solemn expression, Li Yun immediately knew how much Xiangfu's misunderstanding of Merton was. No matter what the Mohists did, it was difficult to understand, but all his starting points were for the Mohists.
"For Mohism!"
Looking back at Merton's leaving, he couldn't help feeling excited. Looking back at the huge construction site behind him, he firmly believed that once the miraculous bridge in his mind was completed, the reputation of the Mohist school would be heard throughout the Tang Dynasty.
