With changsun Wuji agreeing to the salt iron official camp, all the pressure immediately focused on Merton. Today's Datang Iron Bank is divided into two parts of the world. Except that 20% of changsun Iron Bank and nearly 80% of the remaining shares are concentrated in the hands of Mojia village, including the undeveloped super large iron ore, which should also belong to Mojia village in theory.
However, the officials did not think so. According to Merton's previous strategy, the Mohist son who is still in the process of revival will certainly take the opportunity to donate the iron ore to the state to please Li Shimin.
However, Merton's next move surprised everyone.
"I'm against the salt and iron official camp!" Merton said proudly.
"Ah!"
No one thought that the Mohists opposed the salt and iron official camp. All along, the Mohists' concept has always been the same and public, and the salt and iron official camp is not a kind of public.
"The Mohist school has indeed deteriorated. For the sake of interests, it has turned its back on the Mohist concept!"
"I didn't expect that even Tangtang Mozi would renege for the sake of interests."
"Is such a Mohist still a selfless Mohist?"
…………………………
There was an uproar in the court, accusing Merton one after another, or oppressing the Mohists with great righteousness, in order to force the Mohists to agree to the salt and iron official camp.
For a moment, the Mohists accused everyone of crusading, as if it was a big mistake not to hand over the iron line.
Li Shimin couldn't help sighing. The benefits of the salt and iron official camp were self-evident. Now the whole iron shop of the Tang Dynasty was left with the changsun family and the Mohist family, both of which were his closest people. However, it was the easiest time for the imperial court to implement the salt and iron official camp, but he didn't expect that Merton opposed him for the sake of interests. This was the first time, which made Li Shimin feel betrayed.
Chang sun Wuji naturally noticed Li Shimin's changes and couldn't help smiling. When it comes to controlling people's hearts, Mozi is still a little tender. Once Mozi loses his sacred heart, what waves can Mozi have?
"I have a reason to object. Please listen to me." Mozi bowed to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "Mo Aiqing, please."
Merton naturally heard the faint alienation in Li Shimin's mouth. He sighed: "first, steel is the food of Mohism, the foundation of Mohism's take-off and the lifeblood of Mohism. Now Mohism has managed to control its own lifeblood. Naturally, it is impossible to give up easily."
The ministers could not help sighing. Naturally, they knew that the reason why Mojia village controlled 80% of the iron materials in the Tang Dynasty was not the result of the previous major iron banks encircling and suppressing Mojia village.
But people understand, but the court is not willing to step back in the face of huge interests. After all, the court needs too much money now.
"Secondly, the system of salt and iron official camp is not a good system. The implementation of salt and iron official camp will do all kinds of harm without any benefit," said Merton.
"It's nonsense." Tang Jian blushed. The salt and iron official camp was his most proud masterpiece, which was criticized by the Mo family.
"The Mohist school is too arrogant. The salt and iron official camp can quickly improve the finance. Now all industries in the Tang Dynasty are waiting to prosper, and it is in urgent need of money. With this money, the Tang Dynasty can certainly make further progress." Zhang Liang, the Minister of industry, helped. He strongly supported the salt and iron official camp in order to get super grade iron ore.
"It's just killing a chicken to get its eggs." Merton sniffed, "Although the salt and iron official camp can increase the wealth of the imperial court in a short time, it has stifled the development of the iron smelting industry. I have read history books. The salt and iron official camp has done a lot of harm. The output of iron materials has decreased and the quality of iron materials is poor, but it is still sold at a high price. What the Tang Dynasty needs now is fine steel, special steel, stainless steel, and even all kinds of more advanced steel in the future. Once it is realized The technology of the iron smelting industry will stagnate or even retrogress. "
Li Shimin hesitated for a while. These were the criticisms of the salt and iron official camp. He would not have taken them to heart before. However, today's Datang is not what it used to be. Ordinary iron materials can no longer meet the needs of Datang. Instead, professionals like Mohist improvement need to study and improve their smelting skills day by day.
"Moreover, the salt and iron official camp gathers the world's iron industry in the hands of one official, which is very easy to breed corruption and abuse of power. At that time, the Mohists must buy high-priced iron, shoddy iron materials, or even no iron available again." Merton said bluntly.
All officials frowned. Naturally, they knew the disadvantages of Yantie official camp. If they were in the situation of Mohism, I'm afraid they wouldn't agree with Yantie official camp.
"Finally, Mo's opposition to salt and iron official camp is not to abandon Mohist ideas, but to follow the teachings of Mohist saint," Merton retorted.
"Mohist's teachings are nonsense."
"Mohist saints teach Mohists to plan for their own interests."
All officials refuted one after another.
Merton explained: "In Mozi's secret book, it was said that there was a vicious dragon entrenched in the 100000 mountains in the southwest. All villages were required to offer a girl and gold and silver treasure every year. The vicious dragon was very powerful. Many people wanted to get rid of it, but they would never return. Over time, no one dared to resist the vicious dragon until a young man practiced martial arts hard and asked for tribute from the vicious dragon When I was a beloved girl, I embarked on the road of killing dragons. "
All officials are intelligent people. They immediately understand that the Mohist son has something to say. They can't help looking at the eldest sun Wuji, who is headed by the Mohist son. The eldest sun tiexing has formed an iron alliance to besiege the Mohist son and let the Mohist village buy high-priced iron and disclose stainless steel Secrets. It's not a dragon. I'm afraid the Mohist son's counterattack against the eldest sun tiexing is a self metaphor for a young dragon slayer.
"The boy finally defeated the dragon and saved his beloved girl and the wealth of the village after a hard journey and many fierce fights." Merton said.
Changsun Wuji's face was embarrassed. He naturally knew that the behavior of changsun mansion was disgraceful, but as he handed over changsun tiexing to the imperial court, these things would become a thing of the past. However, Mohist Zi compared it to the story of a young man slaughtering a dragon and nailed changsun mansion to the pillar of shame. I'm afraid generations will remember the disgrace of changsun mansion.
"It's necessary to have great wisdom and courage to kill dragons," sighed Li Shimin.
Merton shook his head and said: "No, if the story ends here, everyone will be happy. However, the wisdom of Mo Sheng makes us ashamed. After the young man slaughtered the dragon, he sat on the dragon's body and looked at the gold and silver treasures in the dragon's cave. Finally, greed blinded his mind. Horns grew on his head and wings grew behind his back. The young man became a dragon. Mo Zi sighed with regret:" kill the dragon A young man eventually becomes a dragon. '"
"What a dragon slaughtering boy will eventually become a dragon."
All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by it. If it was the youth who killed the dragon, the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty should only listen to a story. In the end, the youth who killed the Dragon turned into a dragon, but they raised the fable of the story infinitely. Even if they were in a high position, they had to lament Mozi's great wisdom. The youth in front turned into a dragon. Would the Dragon killed be changed by those who didn't come back What about? This is a fatalistic reincarnation, which is thought-provoking.
The intention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to promote the salt and iron official camp was good, which greatly increased the finance of the Han Dynasty. However, in the end, it was shoddy and the people complained. The original intention of the changsun Iron Bank was to collect iron materials for the imperial court and supply military supplies and civilian expenses. In the end, they allied with major iron banks to besiege Mojia village for the sake of interests. Their original intention was good, but in the end they became evil dragons.
"What about Mojia village? Today's Mojia village has won and has occupied 80% of the iron material share of the Tang Dynasty. Will the boy of Mojia grow into a dragon?" suddenly, sun Wuji asked coldly.
