As the ink technology exhibition people left contentedly with the latest products, ink clothes with zippers, stainless steel tableware and matches were distributed throughout Chang'an City, causing waves of popularity.
"This zipper cotton padded jacket is really beautiful!"
"It is said that these zippers are also made of stainless steel. Even if the cotton clothes are worn out, they will rust at all!"
"Ink clothing is cheap and the style is good-looking."
"Even if we pull our own materials and beat cotton, I'm afraid we can save a lot of money."
………………………………
In the Mohist mechanism City, aunt Xu looked at the popular ink clothes with satisfaction. She was in the women's wear department. Many Chang'an women had no resistance to ink clothes with good styles and low prices. They gave generously and bought their favorite clothes.
Although most women in this era are women workers, it takes time and effort, and the style is also very old-fashioned. The large-scale production of ink clothes, the substantial reduction of fabric cost and cotton cost, coupled with the popularity of assembly lines and sewing machines, it is better for women in Chang'an city to buy a cost-effective one. Is it because this batch of ink clothes have novel ink skills such as zippers, and the sales have soared.
"By the way, how about the sales of men's cotton clothes?" aunt Xu suddenly turned sideways and asked the Mohist children.
Mohist children's face said secretly, "Madam Hui Xu, men's cotton clothes don't sell much. Few people buy men's cotton clothes except some people who often ride horses."
Aunt Xu couldn't help sighing. Women have no resistance to good-looking clothes, and ink clothes sell a lot. However, men don't care whether clothes are good-looking or not. In addition, most people with status wear Confucian clothes, so ink clothes are difficult in front of men's clothes.
"However, although the sales of men's clothes in cotton clothes are not good, the pants with zippers are very popular!" said the children of Mohism.
"Men's pants!" aunt Xu was stunned. She couldn't understand why men only like ink pants.
Guozijian.
A group of Guozijian students gathered together and whispered.
"Did you buy it?"
"Yes!"
"And you?"
"I bought it too!"
With a knowing smile, all the students went to the hut together.
Soon, almost all the Guozijian students secretly bought ink clothes and trousers, but they always wore Confucian green shirts outside.
"Outside Confucianism and inside ink!"
Kong Yingda frowned when he heard the report.
Liu Yinian said indignantly, "yes, I got the news about my humble position. Most of the students in the Imperial College are wearing Confucian clothes outside, but actually they are wearing ink clothes and pants inside. The Imperial College is a holy land of Confucianism. Now even the clothes of Confucianism can't be preserved. As a student of the Imperial College, I wear ink clothes. Isn't it a hundred Confucianists that make me laugh."
"Pants wear ink clothes!" Kong Yingda frowned, "have you ever found out the reason!"
"This..." Liu Yinian was a little hard to say.
Kong Yingda frowned and said coldly, "even the reason is unknown. How can we solve the problem."
"I heard it's good for going to the toilet!" said Liu Yinian with a red face.
"Ah!"
Kong Yingda was stunned. Soon, when an ink suit pants were placed in front of him, Kong Yingda saw the zipper in front of the pants. Only then did Kong Yingda understand what the so-called beneficial toilet means.
"Why is this difficult?" Kong Yingda waved his big hand. "Notice that in the future, all the trousers of the Confucian clothes of the Imperial College will be changed to this, but remove the zipper and turn them into buttons."
Liu Yinian was surprised and said: "it's so simple. In terms of humble position, the Imperial College should not only strictly prohibit the students of the Imperial College from wearing ink clothes, but also call on the world to resist ink clothes. Otherwise, once the zipper is popularized on a large scale, ink clothes will be popular, and Confucian clothes will become unique. This is a place that Confucians must compete for, so we must pay attention to it!"
Kong Yingda shook his head and said: "At that time, King Zhao Wuling rode and shot in Hufu, which was opposed by the world. In the end, the state of Zhao conquered all parts of the grassland with Hufu, and became a powerful country. Confucian clothes are the traditional clothes of Confucianism, but represent Confucianism. The emergence of zipper is no less than the impact of Hufu, riding and shooting on China. If we forcibly stop ink clothes, we will only become a smile like the elders who blocked Hufu's riding and shooting Handle. "
Kong Yingda looked very real. The role of zipper is no less than that of Hufu riding and shooting, which is destined to cause the change of Tang clothing. Even the students of the Imperial College did not resist the convenience brought by zipper, let alone ordinary people.
If it's a forced stop, it's a mantis blocking the car.
Liu Yinian frowned and said discontentedly, "is this a way to increase the prestige of Mohism and destroy the ambition of Confucianism? If Confucianism does not respond, there will be no place for Confucian clothing in time. After being a Kong saint, will the wine worship adult watch the loss of Kong saint's dress etiquette?"
Kong Yingda said in silence: "Kong Sheng's dress etiquette will not be lost because of a small zipper. If the people's choice of dress is forcibly changed for the benefit of Confucianism, it will be the greatest blasphemy to Kong Sheng's dress etiquette."
"After you become a Confucius saint in vain, you should sit back and watch the Mohist school become bigger and threaten the status of Confucianism. Ink clothing is only the first step. One day, the Mohist school will fully revive and surpass Confucianism. How can you face the Confucius saint in a hundred years?" Liu Yinian said angrily.
Kong Yingda's face changed and said, "if Kong defiled the Kong family's reputation by despicable means for the sake of Confucian self-interest, he will have no face to his ancestors in a hundred years."
Now that the zipper has been invented, it is futile to stop it. If he forcibly obstructs it, he can only become a clown like the nobles of Zhao who have prevented Hufu from riding and shooting in history, which will also affect the reputation of the Kong family.
Liu Yinian left angrily. Looking back at the Imperial College, he couldn't help humming: "you Kong Yingda cherish feathers and have gained a lot of benefits from cooperating with the Mohist school. You must be soft mouthed and short handed. Since you Kong family don't protect the interests of Confucianism, you're not qualified to sit in this position."
The Kongs used the movable type printing of the Mohists to organize libraries. After the Kongs, Kong huisuo made friends with the Mohists and obtained the method of homonymy. Therefore, the Kongs' attitude towards the Mohists can be regarded as a moderate school and advocated cooperative development with the Mohists.
Liu Yinian is a firm radical against Mohism. At present, he thought of Ma Jiayun, a great Confucian who is more radical towards Mohism.
That night, Liu Yinian had a private meeting with Ma Jiayun. After a night of secret conversation, they finally reached a consensus.
"I inform your majesty that I impeach the son of the state to offer a toast. Kong Yingda's academic misconduct,......."
In the early days of that day, Ma Jiayun angrily wrote a letter criticizing Kong Yingda's five classics justice for its complexity, fallacies and deficiencies. It has to be said that although Ma Jiayun's character is not good, he is indisputable academically. In addition, when Kong Yingda was writing the five classics justice, he was a little radical under the pressure of the Mohists and was immediately seized by Ma Jiayun.
"The minister impeached the son of the state to offer a toast to Kong Yingda's corpse for a vegetarian meal............."
Then Liu Yinian, the scholar doctor of the Imperial College, wrote a letter to denounce Kong Yingda's inaction during the Imperial College's wine offering. Some secret things in the Imperial College were also revealed. Although Kong Yingda was not at fault, as a Imperial College's wine offering, he naturally had unshirkable responsibility.
"Wei Chen impeached the son of the state to offer a drink to Kong Yingda, fishing for fame and reputation, and repeatedly kidnapped his Highness the prince for his reputation......"
"The minister impeached the son of the state to offer a toast to Kong Yingda.................."
For a moment, Kong Yingda was besieged by a group of Confucian scholars like a bereaved dog, but he was abandoned by Confucianism, which surprised everyone!
