"Just give up!"
It's a super large iron mine. Its reserves are the largest of all iron mines in Datang. Needless to say, whoever owns the super large iron mine will have the greatest voice in the iron industry. What Mohist Zi gave up is not only tens of millions of wealth, but also the location of the iron industry.
"Are you sure?" Li Shimin looked surprised and adjusted his sitting position to face Merton.
Merton nodded and said, "I'm sure that the task of the Mohist school is to explore the highest and deep ink technology for the benefit of the world, not the most basic mining industry. Even if its value is exciting, the Mohist school will not abandon the basics. If steel was not the lifeblood of the Mohist school, the merged small iron ore Mohist school would not hold."
Merton's words moved people. Has Mohism changed? Of course, Mohism has changed from a hundred schools that are about to die to one of the most famous schools in the world. Naturally, it can't remain unchanged. However, the essence of Mohism has not changed from beginning to end. It was still the pure hearted Mohism.
"OK! I've written down the contribution of Mohism." Li Shimin said solemnly. Even Li Shimin couldn't refuse such a delicious cake as super iron ore.
Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of civil affairs, was immediately delighted. This result was much better than his previous implementation of salt and iron official camp. The Ministry of Civil Affairs obtained a super large iron ore and could charge a mining fee. The calculated profit was no less than before, which could finally alleviate the financial pressure of the imperial court.
Changsun Wuji's heart is complex. He has saved changsun iron line. However, compared with super large iron ore and the secret technology of Mohist iron reduction, changsun iron line has become a chicken rib. The iron price of Datang will be extremely low in the next decade at least.
More importantly, this time, the Mohist school took the lead and made the Mohist school more important in Li Shimin's heart. He found that the current Mohist family has surpassed his position around Li Shimin, even better.
"Brother Mo, I'm sorry!" after the meeting, Li Tai caught up and said apologetically to Merton.
After all, the Mohist school paid thousands of funds for the geographical vein. The geographical vein should have been fought for by the Mohist school, but now the Mohist school has not kept the super large iron ore. as for the Mohist School's saying that the Mohist school will not abandon its roots, Li Tai doesn't believe it at all. After all, no one will dislike many mines, let alone such super large iron ore.
Merton looked at Li Tai, shook his head and said, "Your Highness the king of Wei is polite. The discovery of super large iron ore directly gave the Iron Bank alliance a fatal blow. It has helped the Mohists a lot. Today's matter is the Mohists' own decision."
Li Tai hesitated and said, "in that case, the king will return the Wanguan money to the Mohist school."
Merton shook his head and said, "it's not necessary. Although the Mohists gave up the super large iron ore, they also took the opportunity to merge several small iron ores, and they controlled the life of the Mohists themselves. Among them, they benefited from the discovery of super large iron ore in a geographical vein. The Mohists didn't lose money in this business."
"But......" Li Tai still felt guilty that he had not done anything with the money.
Merton looked straight and said, "it's true that super large iron ore is really exciting. However, although the Mohists gave up super large iron ore, they gained more valuable treasure than super large iron ore, that is the state-owned iron ore system."
"State owned iron ore system?" Li Tai was stunned and looked at Merton.
Merton explained: "Steel is indeed the lifeblood of Mohism. However, Mohism needs not only iron, but also metal Mohists all over the world. Even if Mohism has super large iron ore and solved the problem of iron, will it buy copper, aluminum and tin in the future? Mohism does not have the money and energy. However, sooner or later, these metal miners will be like us Like the iron industry alliance, they set a price and even forced the Mohists to put forward some unreasonable requirements. "
"Private mines are mercenary, but state-owned mines can't!" Li Tai suddenly realized that state-owned iron mines represent the interests of the country and can't deliberately target one.
Merton nodded: "yes, as long as there is a state-owned iron mine, there will never be an organization similar to the Iron Bank alliance. Mohism will no longer be controlled by others. Compared with the future of Mohism, it is not a loss to give up a large iron mine, not to mention that the super large iron mine is located in a barbarian land. There are many difficulties for non-governmental organizations to develop, so the imperial court can mine it."
The super iron mine is located in the territory of the Liao people. For a long time, the Liao people's tribe has been rebellious. Only the power of the imperial court can deter the Liao people's tribe, and the non-governmental organizations are almost like sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
"Brother Mo is really brilliant!" Li Tai admires. The purpose of the emergence of state-owned iron ore is to raise money for the imperial court, and secondly to adjust the fluctuation of iron price so as not to affect people's livelihood. Naturally, there will be no iron not to sell or sudden sharp rise in iron price. Once the pilot project of super large iron ore is successful, it will be extended to other ore veins. In this way, the Mohists will have no worries.
Merton took a meaningful look at Li Tai and said, "the state-owned iron ore system is not only benefiting the Mohists, which is a good opportunity for a thousand years for the geographical chain. It depends on whether his Highness the king of Wei seizes this opportunity."
"Please teach me, brother Mo!" said corporal Li Tai without hesitation.
Merton smiled and said: "The reason why the state-owned iron mine was successfully implemented is that the super large iron mine does not belong. If the imperial court forcibly implements the official operation of salt and iron, it will certainly cause an uproar. Similarly, other mineral veins are the same. If you want to implement the state-owned iron mine, you can only find new mineral veins. In this way, it will not cause civil opposition, but also benefit the imperial court. Looking for mineral veins is the advantage of geographical veins Place. "
Li Tai's heart was shocked. Originally, there was no driving force for prospecting in the geographical vein. This time, he was just stimulated by the money of the Mohist School and stopped by. As soon as the state-owned iron ore system came out, the geographical vein immediately had the desire to explore. From a hundred families, the geographical vein sought many mineral veins for the imperial court. Naturally, it was highly valued by the imperial court and could soon develop and grow, which was much stronger than his support alone. Personally, he was the prince, and it was more reasonable to help his father solve problems.
"Brother Mo really woke up the dreamer with a word. I thank brother Mo for his advice." Li Tai said deeply.
Merton laughed and said, "I don't deserve it. Mo's move is also selfish. The more ore veins His Highness the king of Wei explored, the more minerals the Mohists need. At this point, the interests of Mohism and geography are the same."
Li Tai's heart moved. The geographical pulse is a new hundred schools with a thin background. He has no way to develop rapidly. If he can cooperate with the Mohist school with a thousand years of background, the benefits to the geographical pulse will be self-evident. One day,
Merton and Li Tai looked at each other, and suddenly an old and a new two hundred scholars reached a consensus, and the Mohists added another friend.
