Report

"It's gone! It's gone! "

Qin Huaiyu was in a daze, as if he had nothing to live for.

"Alas! It's all fate! Is it because I've made me angry too much, and now I'm suffering from retribution? "Cheng Chumo sighed with a gloomy face.

Yuchi Baolin drank a mouthful of tea and sat in the chair, sulking. Obviously, he was still brooding.

"Young Master, I …" Mo San had a helpless look on his face. In his opinion, he had put in the least effort in this matter, but in the end, he had actually picked up a huge advantage.

"It's all right. Don't worry about them. The most important thing is your craftsmanship. You can take it with a clear conscience. After the exhibition, you can open a bookstore with the reward and start a family as soon as possible. "Meton said.

Mochi was in a panic and cried, "Young master, are you going to drive me out of the mansion? I don't want to leave the Mo village. I don't want the reward. I just beg you not to drive me out."

Meton didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to drive you out? You are all villagers of the Mo village. Now that you have a skill and a title of nobility, it's not suitable for you to work in the Mo family. Now take this opportunity to earn a family business, and you can start a family in the future. "

"Young master, you won't lie to me, right?" Mochi said with a smile and tears.

Uncle Fu couldn't stand it anymore. He kicked Mochi's butt and said, "You little brat, I'm so kind. No matter where you go in the future, don't forget that you are a villager of the Mo village. Remember the teachings of the Mo family, and remember my kindness."

Mochi smiled through tears and said, "Mochi will always remember that I am a villager of the Mo village."

Mochi bowed respectfully and left. Soon, there came a burst of surprised voices in the Mo family. Among them, the voice of the little girl in purple was the loudest.

"He is a loyal person. You are willing to give him up." Qin Huaiyu said with satisfaction.

"My duty is to let the villagers of the Mo's Village live a good life. If everyone has such an opportunity, I don't need to do so much." Meton said sincerely.

"Well, now that we've lost the chance to leave our names in history, it's time to settle the score!" Qin Huaiyu said sinisterly.

"What debt!" Morton had an innocent look on his face, but his footsteps were quietly moving outside.

"Trying to slip away?!" A big hand patted heavily on Mo Du's shoulder, and Cheng Chumo's big face appeared behind Meton.

Yuchi Baolin stealthily pushed toward the door, cutting off Meton's last chance of escape.

"Three heroes, this lowly one has five thousand people to feed. This lowly one has yet to marry and have children. I hope that the three heroes will spare this lowly one's life." Meton saw that he could not escape and immediately begged for mercy.

"Spare your life! Humph, I've thought about it. The root of the problem is that you printed the advertisement flyers and distributed it randomly, which led to the exposure of the whole thing. You wasted a good chance to leave your name in history. You have to be responsible for this. You have to compensate me with a chance to leave my name in history. "

The three of them strangled Meton's neck and looked bitter and hateful. But in fact, how could they not feel bitter? If Meton hadn't distributed the advertisement flyers randomly on the street. Their great undertaking of cheating would have been carried out quietly.

When the time was right, they would change their appearance and launch their own engraving printing technology, gaining both fame and fortune.

But now, they were directly pushed to the imperial court by Old Man Kong, and a cooked duck flew away.

"Let go! Let go! "Meton's face turned red.

"You tell me what to do first." Qin Huaiyu and the other two relaxed a little, giving Meton a chance to breathe.

Cough, cough. Meton was choked and coughed continuously. He said hurriedly, "Isn't it just leaving my name in history? There are plenty of opportunities. "

"Really!" Qin Huaiyu said happily.

"Tell me first."

The three of them said, but their hands didn't relax at all. They still didn't let go of Meton.

"I think the ancients said that the sky is round and the earth is very problematic. In my opinion, the earth is not square, but round. The place we were standing on was a huge sphere. As long as we can face this problem, we will definitely be able to leave our name in history. "Meton said.

The three of them were stunned for a few seconds, and immediately stepped up their attacks on Meton. They said loudly, "Do you think I'm stupid? Who doesn't know that the sky is round and the earth is round? You actually said that I'm standing on a sphere? Do you think I'm an acrobat? "

"Good, good, good! Another, we often say that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. We think that the sun revolves around us. But in reality, the sun doesn't move. And we are the ones that revolve around the sun. "Meton quickly added.

Qin Huaiyu and the other two didn't say anything. Then they ravaged Meton again.

Several years later. The descendants of Qin Huaiyu and the other two found this conversation when they were sorting out the will of their ancestors. Then they looked at the theory of the center of the sun proposed by the Mohist ancestors and the great voyage promoted by the Mohist to prove that the earth was a sphere. They felt a stabbing pain in their hearts. This should have been their glory, but it was given away by their ancestors.

There are still many territories of the Tang dynasty that have not been conquered. In the future, you will lead the army to the north and fight until half a year of eternal day. Half a year of eternal night, the whole world will be covered with ice and snow, and the entire Tang dynasty will have no worries. This way, you will definitely be able to leave your name in history. "

"No one has been able to do it for thousands of years. Can we do it? And how dangerous is it to lead the army to war? Change it. "

"There are countless animals and plants in the entire Tang dynasty. If they are classified and summarized one by one, it will be a peerless book that covers all things. It will definitely be famous throughout the ages.

"This is okay, but the work is too big. Change it."

"Change it to a smaller work. There are many medicinal herbs in the Tang dynasty. The records are chaotic, and there are many prescriptions that contradict each other. If we can sort out all the medicinal herbs in the world, and verify and correct all the prescriptions in the world. We will definitely be able to leave our name in history. "

"This is not bad. It's indeed a good idea. Qin Huaiyu and the other two's eyes lit up.

But this kind of work needs a famous doctor to take the lead. The three of us don't know how to do it, and it will probably take eight to ten years.

"27 years!" Meton revealed the time it took Li Shizhen to write the Compendium of Materia Medica.

The three's faces immediately darkened. They waved their hands and said, "That's too long. Change it! We want to use the one that is as easy and fast as printing, and can leave our name in history. "

Qin Huaiyu and the other two did not have the patience to spend 27 years on an inexplicable thing.

"Then what kind of thing do you want? We don't want to do something that is too dangerous and takes too long. "Meton said angrily.

"We want something that is quick and sensational, and can leave our name in history." Qin Huaiyu and the other two muttered for a while.

Meton's face darkened. After all, the three of them did not want to leave their name in history. They just wanted to gain face in front of the rich people in Chang 'an and have something to brag about.

Meton thought for a while and said, "If you say so, there is one."

"Really? Then hurry up and say it." Cheng Chumo said eagerly.

"I don't know if the three of you have ever thought of going to heaven." Meton stretched his head and said mysteriously.

The three's faces darkened. They said, "I'm living well. I don't want to die yet."

Meton said, "Of course, I don't want you to go to heaven. I want you to really go to heaven, like a bird flying in the sky.

"Think about it. You are the first to invent something that can go to heaven, and you are also the first three people to go to heaven. You are the only one in Chang 'an, and you will be respected wherever you go. It doesn't take long, and the effect is outstanding."

The three's eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly. They immediately beamed with joy. Thinking about the majestic appearance of flying in the sky and the envious expressions of the rich people on the ground, they could not help but laugh.

"This is good! That's it! That's it! Hurry up and tell us how to go to heaven. "

Meton smiled and said calmly, "I don't know if the three of you know about the Kongming Lantern."

"Of course we know about it. Some time ago, during the Lantern Festival, we used it several times. A Kongming Lantern can indeed go to heaven, but how can it move us?" Qin Huaiyu said doubtfully.

"What if we magnify the Kongming Lantern a hundred times?" Meton said as he made an exaggerated circle with his hand.

The three's eyes lit up. It seemed to be a feasible method.
