"No marriage, no tribute, no compensation, no land. Officials guard the country, and the king dies for the country!"
"Mo Jiazi, good job."
"How can the great country of the Tang dynasty be humiliated by a barbarian country? They even want to marry for peace. They don't know what they are talking about."
…
With the end of the court meeting, Meton's words spread all over the city of Chang 'an like the wind. Suddenly, the people of Chang' an were excited.
Meton's words touched the hearts of the people of the Tang dynasty. Since the Turks were defeated and the Tang Army captured Xieli Khan, the people of the Tang dynasty were proud of this battle.
Even the Turks, the overlords of the grassland, were defeated by the cavalry of the court, not to mention the Tuyuhun. Since the news of the Tuyuhun plundering Shanzhou was spread, the people of Chang 'an had been asking for war.
The Red Cross Society also took the opportunity to donate money for the people of Shanzhou. In a short time, the response was like a tide, and a lot of materials were collected.
"The great Tang dynasty should do this!" In the Mo mansion, Qin Huaiyu was so excited that he could not control himself. In fact, it was not only Qin Huaiyu who was excited, but also any man with courage was filled with righteous indignation.
"Meton, you are usually thin and weak, but you are so manly at the critical moment!" Cheng Chumo looked at Meton in disbelief.
Meton frowned and said discontentedly, "What do you mean by manly at the critical moment? Yeye has always been manly."
After that, Meton did not want to be outdone and straightened his small muscles.
"Really? How dare you call yourself a man when you don't even dare to go to the brothel!" Yuchi Baolin laughed and hit Meton's sore spot. Immediately, Meton was beaten back to his original state.
Meton retorted helplessly, "That's the rule of Village Mo. You can't be an adult until you're 18 years old. Besides, how can a man stay in a brothel? It's better to learn more skills while you're still young."
Meton looked at the three old drivers with disdain and looked at his own small body. Going to that kind of place at such a young age, Meton himself couldn't get over it.
"Then what's going on between you and that person?" Qin Huaiyu winked and pointed in the direction of the palace.
Cheng Chumo and the other two also came over and said proudly.
Meton sighed and said, "Would you believe me if I said that I was filled with righteous indignation and was fighting for justice for the border soldiers?"
The three of them shook their heads.
"Would you believe me if I said that I was taking revenge on Tuyuhun because Tuyuhun blocked the Silk Road and ruined the plans of the School of Mo?"
The three of them shook their heads again.
"Would you believe me if I said that I was a male chauvinist and couldn't watch a woman being pushed into a pit of fire without doing anything? I would do the same for any woman."
Before the three of them shook their heads, Meton waved his hand helplessly and said, "Okay! You can think whatever you want! "
Qin Huaiyu grinned and said, "It doesn't matter what we think. The key is what the Crown Prince will think. I heard that the disaster area in Henan Province has been properly settled. He should be back soon."
Meton's face suddenly froze. Thinking of Li Chengqian, the crazy sister protector, he couldn't help but feel scared. No matter what his purpose was, it had affected Princess Changle's reputation.
The four of them chatted for a while and then talked about the upcoming war in Tuyuhun.
"When the war starts, the soldiers of the Tang dynasty will definitely suffer a lot." Meton sighed.
Although he knew that what he did was right, when he thought about how many soldiers of the Tang dynasty would die on the battlefield, his heart became heavy.
"So what? Someone has to sacrifice for the Tang dynasty. Dying on the battlefield is the final destination of our family of generals." Yuchi Baolin raised his head and said. Although Yuchi Baolin was usually quiet, he was actually a battle maniac.
"That's right. After you leave the Imperial College, your brothers and the others will also stay in the Imperial College. It's meaningless. You might as well take the opportunity to leave the Imperial College and join the army," Qin Huaiyu said.
The three of them were very envious of Meton's opportunity to leave the Imperial College. They could also take the opportunity to leave the Imperial College.
"That's right. Maybe we can even make it in time for the Battle of Tuyuhun? You and I can destroy the Tuyuhun together and make a great contribution, "Cheng Chumo said with longing.
Yuchi Baolin also nodded heavily.
Joining the army at the age of 15! In this era, it was common for men to join the army at the age of 15. They were all sons of generals, so joining the army was the only way.
"Okay. When you join the army, I will ask the Mo family to make the strongest armor and the sharpest weapons for you," Meton said.
In this era, the art of war and strategy were undoubtedly the foundation of victory, but the advancement of weapons was equally important. With the weapons made of the Mo family's steel, the three of them would be like tigers with wings.
In the Taiyuan Wang Family.
When the news of the Imperial Court spread to the Taiyuan Wang Family, the whole Taiyuan Wang Family was shocked and angry.
"Everyone, let's discuss it!"
In the meeting hall of the Wang family, the head of the Wang family, an old man, said with a gloomy face.
"Mo Jiazi is going too far. Once the salt of Qinghai Lake is developed, our Wang family will suffer a great loss!" The fourth branch of the Wang family roared angrily.
The salt industry was a big source of income for the Taiyuan Wang Family. The Mo family had developed snow salt and directly took half of the fine salt market in Yuncheng.
However, there were not many people who could afford fine salt. Coarse salt was the main source of the Wang family's profit. Once the Tang dynasty got the Qinghai Lake, coupled with the Mo family's Mo technology, a large amount of salt would enter the market. The situation of Yuncheng's salt pool dominating Guanzhong would be lost instantly, and there would be no more high profits.
The other branches of the Wang family couldn't help but have a heavy expression. This situation was really a great loss for the Taiyuan Wang Family.
"What is the sixth branch doing? He can't even suppress Mo Jiazi. What a waste!" The second branch of the Wang family was dissatisfied. Censor Wang was the sixth branch of the Taiyuan Wang Family, and he was called the sixth branch.
"Mo Jiazi has repeatedly gone against our Taiyuan Wang Family. He is simply courting death. In my opinion, Mo Jiazi can't be kept alive," the third branch of the Wang family said sternly. Wang Zhe was from the third branch of the Wang family. Wang Zhe was a child who was favored by the Wang family and had a promising future. However, he was defeated by Mo Jiazi again and again, and was even sent back to Taiyuan to reflect on his mistakes. All of this had something to do with Mo Jiazi.
Now that Mo Dun had directly touched upon the Wang family's greatest source of wealth, the third branch of the Wang family immediately felt both new and old grudges welling up in their hearts. Hardening their hearts, they might as well go all the way and kill off the son of the Mo family.
"Nonsense. Mo Jiazi is someone favored by His Majesty. If you act rashly, won't the Wang family be in danger?" The third branch of the Wang family angrily rebuked.
"That's right. Not to mention that Mo Jiazi is deeply trusted by His Majesty, even the Guanlong family is on Mo Jiazi's side. If we act rashly, even the Wang family won't be able to bear the consequences."
Meton was now holding the lifeline of the Guanlong family. If anything happened to Meton, the Taiyuan Wang family would probably have to face the anger of Li Shimin and the entire Guanlong family. At that time, the Taiyuan Wang family would probably fall apart.
"Are we going to let Mo Jiazi bully us like this?" The fourth branch of the Wang family said unwillingly.
"There are no thousand-year-old dynasties in this world, only thousand-year-old families. The Wang family has been passed down for thousands of years, relying on caution. As long as we have enough patience, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." The third branch of the Wang family sneered.
The Mo family advocated taking care of the big family first and then the small family, so Meton always put national interests first. The Mo family's proposal to mine the Qinghai Lake salt was indeed because national interests were above personal interests.
However, the members of the Taiyuan Wang family only cared about their own family interests, and didn't care about how much benefit it would bring to the Tang dynasty once the Qinghai Lake salt was mined. For them, even if the Tang dynasty was destroyed, they could still enjoy wealth and even more favor than before.
