"The farmers are really lucky!"
Liu Yinian also sighed. It seemed that no matter which of the Hundred Schools of Thought joined forces with the School of Mohism, there would be signs of revival. Even the School of Thought, which had been wiped out, would be revived.
"The School of Mo wants to cultivate the farmers as well!" Kong Yingda sighed. The news of Mo Jiazi cultivating the Hundred Schools of Thought was still ringing in his ears. Meton's actions had completely confirmed that the School of Mo was really going to walk down this path.
"Lord Chancellor is wrong. Mo Jiazi doesn't want to cultivate the Hundred Schools of Thought." Imperial Academician Ma Jiayun shook his head.
"Why does Brother Ma say that?" Kong Yingda was puzzled. Liu Yinian was also confused.
"Because Mo Jiazi wants to cultivate both the Hundred Schools of Thought." Ma Jiayun said solemnly.
"Cultivate both the Hundred Schools of Thought?"
Kong Yingda and Liu Yinian immediately stood up.
"Brother Ma, what do you mean by cultivating both the Hundred Schools of Thought?" Kong Yingda asked, puzzled.
Ma Jiayun said with a heavy expression, "Mo Jiazi's ambition is much greater than we imagined. Not only does he want to cultivate the Hundred Schools of Thought, he even spent a lot of money to buy books from the Outer Realms and cultivate the knowledge of the Far West."
When Mo Jiazi said that knowledge was priceless, Ma Jiayun could be said to be the one who agreed the most. He could deeply understand Mo Jiazi's burning ambition.
"So, Mo Jiazi wants to walk down the path of the School of Thought. However, Mo Jiazi is doing the opposite. He used a lot of money to attract the Outer Realms merchants to transport the knowledge of the Far West." Kong Yingda said in realization.
Ma Jiayun nodded solemnly. Although the School of Thought had spent a lot of money, once the plan was successful, they would definitely reap endless rewards.
Liu Yinian immediately burst into laughter and said, "The knowledge of the Far West Kingdom? Those barbarian lands eat raw meat and drink blood. We don't even know if they have any written language, yet they talk about knowledge? "
"We don't know if there is, but according to Mo Jiazi, the sages of the School of Mo once traveled all over the Far West. There were four countries with splendid civilizations there. The School of Mo's Indian numerals and new painting techniques were learned there," Ma Jiayun said.
"Ugh!"
Liu Yinian suddenly choked. He wanted to refute, but the Indian numerals and new painting techniques that were popular in the Tang dynasty were the biggest evidence.
"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. It's not impossible for other countries to have some unique features. " Kong Yingda nodded with a heavy expression. Even if it was just one or two unique knowledge, it might be enough to benefit a person for a lifetime.
Ma Jiayun shook his head and said, "I also think so. However, the Mo Family doesn't think so. They believe that there is a great wisdom comparable to Mo Zi in the country of the far west.
"Comparable to Mo Zi?" Kong Yingda and Liu Yinian suddenly exclaimed. Comparable to Mo Zi? Didn't that mean that the person was comparable to the Hundred School of Thought? One must know that among the achievements of the Hundred School of Thought, even the Confucian school had to admit that Mo Zi's achievements were at least at the top.
"It's not impossible for there to be an amazing person occasionally?" Kong Yingda swallowed hard and said.
However, Ma Jiayun slowly shook his head and said, "It's not just one person, but several people. Mo Jiazi even didn't hesitate to exchange a book for a thousand gold pieces of diamonds."
"Several people!"
"A thousand gold pieces of diamonds in exchange for a book."
Kong Yingda and Liu Yinian exclaimed at the same time.
"If this is true? The School of Mo has probably made a big profit. " They were all well-read people, so they naturally knew how precious a knowledge comparable to the Hundred School of Thought was.
At the same time, their hearts itched unbearably. They couldn't wait to see a knowledge comparable to the Hundred School of Thought with their own eyes.
At the same time, the Mo Manor was the focus of everyone in Chang 'an City. All of Chang 'an City wanted to know what kind of profound knowledge Mo Jiazi had spent so much money to obtain.
"Teacher! Stop pacing around. The Great Qin Empire's merchants need time to translate. It won't be done without ten days or half a month. "
Meton helplessly looked at Teacher Li, who was pacing around in front of him for the fifth time.
When Teacher Li found out that Moton had spent a lot of money to obtain top-notch knowledge from the other side, he immediately rushed over.
Teacher Li immediately flattered, "You don't have to translate all of it. Even a part will do!"
Teacher Li loved books as much as his life. Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the position of Chief Editor of the Mo Journal. At this moment, he was excited and naturally itched to do it.
"That doesn't mean you won't see results in three to five days," Meton said helplessly.
Teacher Li was immediately disappointed. He said to Su Lingnong, who was studying the seeds obsessively, "Brother Su, have you found anything useful?"
Su Lingnong reluctantly put down the seeds in his hand and said, "This is indeed a seed that has never been seen in the Tang dynasty. I just don't know if it's as effective as the Hu merchants said."
Teacher Li said indifferently, "These seeds won't sprout until the right time. Let's go. Today, I'll treat you to wine. The famous Xie Qianchou, drink to your heart's content."
Teacher Li pulled Su Lingnong away, and Meton finally had some peace.
Meton heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, return the gold ingots to the dealers immediately."
"Ah! You borrowed the gold ingots? "Qin Huaiyu suddenly looked at Meton in disbelief.
Meton said angrily, "Of course. The Mo Family's Village doesn't have so much gold."
Although the Mo Family's Village was not short of money, they had more copper coins and silver taels. But for the merchants of the Western Regions, only silk and gold could move them.
Meton thought that gold was more practical, so he found the dealers of Xie Qianchou and borrowed the gold ingots.
Xu Jie came over with the account book and checked it. He said, "Boss, the other dealers have already returned the gold ingots, except for the Zheng and Qian families. You have already spent them in the Western Regions Festival."
During the Western Regions Grand Tournament, Morton had spent money like it was dirt. He had thrown out a lot of gold ingots. However, his master's ability to spend money was strong, and his ability to earn money was even stronger. Just the diamonds alone were worth it even if his master threw out all of his gold ingots.
"Ask them if they want silver taels and copper coins. If they don't want them, find some banks and give them some gold ingots." Meton waved his hand and said.
"Boss, the Zheng and Qian brothers once said. It's okay if you don't pay back the gold ingots, you can only use the diamonds. "Xu Jie said with a smile.
Moton laughed and scolded, "In your dreams. It takes at least a few months to polish a diamond, and the production rate is outrageous. It will definitely be worth a lot in the future. It's wishful thinking to want a diamond with just a bit of gold."
"Yes, boss. I will immediately exchange the gold ingots and return them to the two families." Xu Jie responded and immediately went to do it.
"Brother Mo!"
A shy voice sounded in Meton's ears, which made Meton have goosebumps.
"Let's talk nicely." Meton looked at the flattering Cheng Chumo with disgust.
Cheng Chumo hesitated a few times and said, "Can you leave me one of your diamonds? Of course, the price is negotiable."
"That's a woman's favorite. What do you want it for?" Meton said in surprise.
"Of course it's for a woman!" Qin Huaiyu said with a laugh.
Cheng Chumo's face suddenly turned red.
"Really?" Meton said in surprise.
"My mother arranged a marriage for me a few days ago." Cheng Chumo said frankly.
"That's a good thing! You won't get married soon, right? "Meton asked.
"No, it's still early. Let's get engaged first." Cheng Chumo couldn't help but look at Meton with hidden bitterness. If the Mo family didn't report the risks of early marriage and pregnancy, why would his wedding be delayed? "
