After the end of the exhibition, the people who came to watch left one after another.
Everyone was talking about it. Some people envied the Mo family for keeping their promises and complained that Li Yun did not take the money. On the other hand, they were more curious about the oxygen in the mystery of the living fish. They wished they could be the next owner of the money.
Before this, although Mo Dun's reward of ten thousand strings of coins was tempting, after all, no one had obtained it. Everyone had always held a skeptical attitude. However, this time, Mo Dun personally proved that his promise was worth a thousand gold. Not only did he fulfill the promise of the Western Region Conference, but what made everyone even more surprised was that even if Li Yun of the Xiangfu Clan, who had a grudge with Mo Dun, solved the mystery of the well, Mo Dun still paid the money.
Seeing someone get the money, how could everyone not be tempted? Moreover, everyone knew that oxygen would be everywhere. That was to say, everyone had a chance to get the reward.
Of course, this reward of ten thousand crowns was not something that could be obtained so easily. More people were paying attention to the new ink skills that were being displayed in this ink skills exhibition. The most curious one was naturally the glass greenhouse that could change four seasons. In the ink skills exhibition, everyone had only taken a glance at it and exclaimed in surprise.
Now that the exhibition was over, the Mo Family Village opened a place for people to see the glass greenhouse. It was simply overcrowded.
In addition, the second generation of four-wheeled carriages was more popular. Thanks to Qin Huaiyu and the other two people's persistence in making enemies among the playboys in Chang 'an City, the sales of the second generation of four-wheeled carriages rose steadily after the exhibition was over. The playboys in Chang' an City alone were enough to support the sales of the second generation of four-wheeled carriages.
What people loved most was the silver mirror. With the spread of Snow White's conversation, the legend of the magic mirror could be said to be known by everyone. Although the silver mirror in front of them was not as magical as the magic mirror that was bought as a betrothal gift by Princess Changle, it was far better than the previous bronze mirror. With the superb craftsmanship of the Mo family, people could see their faces clearly in the silver mirror. What was more surprising was that the silver mirror was cheaper than the bronze mirror.
It was clearer and cheaper. How could people not rush to buy it? Anyone with a discerning eye could see that once the silver mirror appeared, all the bronze mirrors on the market would be eliminated.
Li Yun, who was in the crowd, was even more speechless when he saw this prosperous scene. Now, the Mo Family's prosperity was simply unparalleled. On the other hand, their Xiangfu Family's bloodline was holed up in Shandong Province, adhering to the Mo Family's previous ideals, and was simply mediocre.
Kong Desheng fell silent as he watched the citizens of Chang 'an holding silver mirrors in their hands and driving the new carriages away excitedly.
If it was in the past, they would definitely despise the Mo Family for stinking of money in their hearts. However, now that the Mo Family had the support of the theory that the common people used daily, it was probably no longer possible for them to use this point of view to refute the Mo Family.
Indeed, the people needed to eat fresh vegetables in winter. They needed safer and brighter carriages and clearer mirrors. … The Mo Family conformed to the common people's daily use to develop the Mo Skill, which in turn was welcomed by the common people. This did not prove the correctness of the Mo Family's ideals.
Yu Zhining's face was even more embarrassed. He had always boasted that he was a senior and an orthodox Confucian. However, today, he was taught a lesson by Mo Jiazi in public. He had just taken over the Confucian journal and wanted to establish his prestige, but he did not expect that he would be humiliated by Meton.
"Senior Kong, I am incompetent and could not suppress Mo Jiazi. Fortunately, Senior Kong has come to Chang 'an and is personally in charge. My generation of Confucians can be considered to have confidence in our hearts. Please take charge of the Confucian journal personally." Yu Zhining said with a face of shame.
Kong Desheng shook his head and said, "Lord Yu, you are too serious. Mo Jiazi is a junior. If the Old Man were to take action, wouldn't it be a joke for the Old Man to bully the weak? It is inconvenient for the Old Man to intervene in the affairs of the Confucian journal."
"Senior has noble character and unquestionable integrity, this junior admires." Yu Zhining's face was full of admiration. However, he was rejoicing in his heart. If Kong Desheng were to take action, he was afraid that he would have to give up the Confucian journal.
Kong Desheng and Yu Zhining chatted for a while before leaving. After all, the longer they stayed in the Mo Technique Exhibition, the more uncomfortable they would feel.
After watching Kong Desheng and the others leave in the simple two-wheeled carriage, Yu Zhining returned to his four-wheeled carriage. Immediately, his face changed and he snorted coldly, "The Kong Family is just relying on the legacy of Kong Sheng. A group of old-fashioned people."
When Kong Desheng came to Chang 'an City, he was immediately sought after by the Confucians of Chang' an City. Especially when he went everywhere in a shabby two-wheeled carriage, the Confucians of Chang 'an City called him noble character and unquestionable integrity. In Yu Zhining's view, it was ridiculous. Kong Desheng did not give up the Confucian journal out of selflessness. He just wanted Yu Zhining to take the lead while his Kong Family enjoyed the fruits of others' labor.
In the two-wheeled carriage, Kong Yingda sat in the dim and bumpy two-wheeled carriage. He wanted to say something but stopped. Kong Desheng said happily, "Do you want to ask me why I did not take over the Confucian journal?"
Kong Yingda nodded, "Second Uncle, you know the importance of the Confucian journal. If we take over the Confucian journal, our Kong Family will certainly have more power to speak."
Today's Confucian School seemed to be in a respectable position, but it was an empty shell. Except for Kong Yingda who was the Chancellor of the Imperial College, the other disciples did not have any official positions. If the Kong Family could take over the Confucian journal, they would certainly have more power to speak. Maybe they could take the opportunity to get in touch with the big shots in the imperial court. Kong Yingda could take the opportunity to enter the imperial court instead of the current position of Chancellor with no real power.
Kong Desheng sneered and said, "What do you think is the secret of the Kong Family's prominent position? It is not only because we are the descendants of Kong Sheng, but also because we do not participate in the imperial court. At any time, the Kong Family's reputation is the first, and we will not allow any behavior to tarnish the Kong Family's reputation. As long as the Kong Family does not fall, the Confucian School will be invincible. The Confucian journal seems to be prominent, but it is in the teeth of the storm. Anyone can take it, but not our Kong Family."
Kong Yingda suddenly fell silent. Although he was unwilling, he could only bow and say, "I will remember."
"By the way, why don't I see Kong Huisuo? Where is he?" Kong Desheng frowned and asked.
Kong Yingda only remembered at this moment, and said, "Oh! He said he saw Zu Mingjun and went to look for him. He will return to Chang 'an later. "
"Zu Mingjun!" Kong Desheng could not help but think of the descendant of Zu Mingjun in the Headmaster's Academy. For a long time, the school of mathematics had been unknown among the Hundred Schools of Thought. However, with compulsory education and Meton's daily use of Taoism, even Kong Desheng had to admit that the school of mathematics had unlimited potential. He had also heard that this person had not only proposed the parabola at a young age, but also helped the imperial court calculate the catapults. He was also a rare talent.
"Let him be!" Kong Desheng didn't suspect anything else, and nodded his head in agreement.
Seeing this, Kong Yingda had no choice but to swallow the fact that Zu Mingjun and Modun were close friends. Compared to the Mohist's idea of using the common people's daily necessities, this small matter was not worth mentioning.
With the passage of time, the idea of Moton's people using the Way of Life quickly spread throughout Chang 'an. Some people scoffed at it, thinking that it was just claptrap, while others were overjoyed and called it "priceless advice". The battle between the Hundred Schools was once again on the table, and Chang' an was talking about it enthusiastically.
