"Mo still has a skill!"

When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but suddenly turn around and stare at Merton.

Last time, when Murton said that Mo had a skill in the court, he directly offered the secret technique of snow salt, changing the court's policy towards Tuyuhun, and turning the original beating into a war to destroy the country.

The power of the ink technique shocked hundreds of officials, and at this moment, history reappeared, how could it not let hundreds of officials look sideways.

"The bricks we used before were all green bricks, which were cumbersome and expensive, but in the far west country, most of them used an extremely cheap red brick." Merton Road.

"Red bricks?" Baiguan was puzzled.

Mo Dun nodded and said: "After several months of research, the Mo family has finally cracked the secret technique of red bricks, this red brick is simple to make, simple to step, stronger than green bricks, and more importantly, its cost is about half lower than that of red bricks." ”

Merton stretched out his hand, only to see Mo Si under the city wall open the four-wheeled truck, revealing a cart full of red bricks.

Everyone in the south of the city suddenly saw that the four-wheeled truck in Mojia Village was carrying 5,000 catties, and when everyone saw the full car of bricks, they were convinced, but everyone also saw the red bricks for the first time, and they all stepped forward to see a strange thing.

Soon, Qin Huaiyu and the three of them each carried more than ten red bricks and walked up to the South City Tower, without feeling tired at all, and anyone who looked at it couldn't help but praise a good man.

"The sons of the three brothers, they are really envious of others!" Li Jing on the side watched Qin Huaiyu and the three of them set up the bricks and praised them.

"Fooling around all day, and not retreating to the side!" Qin Qiong shouted at Qin Huaiyu! didn't let the three of them go down, but stepped aside, which could be regarded as showing his face in front of the hundred officials.

The three of them suddenly seemed to have been amnestied, and hurriedly retreated to the side, completely lacking the appearance of the gentlemen of the past.

Qin Qiong looked at Qin Huaiyu and the three of them, and then looked at the Mo family who was talking eloquently in front of the hundred officials, and glanced at Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, and the three of them immediately sighed in unison.

Li Shimin picked up a red brick, looked at it, and compared it with the green bricks on the city wall, and found that the red bricks were very similar in appearance to the green bricks, but the color was different.

"It's so hard!" Cheng Yanjin picked up a red brick and bowed hard, but it was not broken.

The corners of Merton's mouth twitched, red bricks are still trustworthy in terms of solidity, and the hand-splitting bricks of later generations can only be completed by long-term practice and strength angle, and it is definitely not feasible to break bricks by hand.

Cheng Biting Jin saw that the red bricks were solid, he was annoyed and angry, and directly knocked the two bricks into each other, and suddenly the two red bricks became four.

Duan Lun also stepped forward to check, and after a long time, he had to admit that red bricks were indeed harder than green bricks.

Li Shimin nodded in his heart, although the Mo family's usual actions are extremely unreliable, but the Mo family's ink skills have never disappointed, since Mo Dun took out the red bricks, in fact, he has believed half of it.

Merton said proudly: "If the ten roads of the Tang Dynasty are paved with red bricks, then it will only take 2.3 million yuan." ”

"Two million and three hundred thousand!"

This amount is already extremely large, but not only are the hundred officials not distressed, compared to the previous 4.6 million yuan, everyone has a feeling of earning it.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Morton in shock, the power of ink skills is really amazing, a simple red brick secret technique, can save more than two million yuan, and after the popularization of red bricks, the price of bricks in the Tang Dynasty will definitely drop sharply, and the money saved is more than two million.

"One skill destroys the country, one skill saves millions!"

Baiguan sighed in his heart, and the ink technique was infinitely higher in the hearts of everyone.

Even Wei Zheng's opposition this time was not so strong, and his heart began to waver.

Merton secretly laughed in his heart, this is actually the same as going to buy something, if a thing is discounted by 5%, even if you don't need this thing very much, I'm afraid you can't help but buy it. What's more, the benefits of building a brick road are obvious, and the cost of building can be completed by half, and everyone can't help but feel unmoved.

However, Wei Zheng was not so easy to fool, and directly grasped the loophole of the Mo family and said: "It turns out that the Mo family has mastered the secret technique of red bricks, so why not produce red brick paving, but buy these green brick paving at a high price." ”

Li Shimin also suddenly felt a pause in his heart, staring at Morton with scrutinizing eyes.

Merton smiled bitterly and said: "Burning bricks is the most devastating land, Mojia Village has many people and little land, and every time the land is extremely precious, how can it be damaged." ”

The reason for the large-scale ban on burning red bricks in later generations was to protect the fertile land.

"Besides, the Ministry of Industry requires a tight construction period, even if it is too late to refine red bricks!" Merton glanced at Duan Lun and argued to himself.

Duan Lun snorted coldly and retorted: "In my opinion, it is Marquis Mo who doesn't look down on such inferior work as burning bricks!" ”

The four-wheeled carriages, steel, and famous wine produced by Mojia Village are not amazingly profitable, and Mojia Village naturally looks down on the low-level craftsmanship of burning bricks.

Merton smiled awkwardly and said: "Burning bricks is the most labor-intensive, where is there so much manpower in Mojia Village." Greedy and chewy, not lazy, the Mo family still talks about focusing on the main business. ”

In this era, the brick-burning technology relies entirely on manpower, almost all of which are coolies, and Mojia Village naturally does not put valuable manpower on brick-burning.

"Besides, once the secret technique of red bricks spreads, the price of green bricks will definitely drop sharply, I don't kill Boren, but Boren will die because of me. The brick-burning villages around Chang'an City are also considered to be the neighbors of Mojia Village, and Mojia Village can be regarded as compensation for buying green bricks. Merton said.

"Ink boy did a good job!" Cheng Yanjin shouted.

Merton's move can be said to be very beautiful, cheap and practical red bricks once implemented, green bricks will be unsalable, which is a big blow to the villages that burn green bricks for a living.

Even the most picky Wei Zheng couldn't find anything wrong.

In the end, Morton smiled bitterly: "Originally, the kid wanted to use the secret technique of red bricks to sell to the villages of brick-making to offset the cost of green bricks, but Weichen dedicated it to the imperial court, so the matter was naturally stopped!" ”

Mojia Village naturally does not burn bricks, can only spread the red brick secret skills, originally wanted to make a fortune, where did he think that it would alarm the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, forced to have no choice, Morton had to give the red brick secret skills, abandon the car to protect the handsome.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but widen his eyes, and shouted: "I said that your kid spent more than 20,000 yuan to lay a brick road like crazy, and it turns out that your kid didn't plan to pay." ”

The Manchu Dynasty suddenly realized that if the secret technique of red bricks and the cost of green bricks were offset, Mojia Village would lay the official road in the south of the city this time, and it would not cost much money.

Looking at the Mo family one by one, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it doesn't cost much money to be able to pave a road that is related to the lifeblood of the Mo family, think about it from another perspective, if he stands in the position of the Mo family, he will definitely do it without hesitation.

"Being smart is being mistaken by being smart!" Li Shimin looked at Merton and sneered.

If it weren't for the great trouble caused by Merton's brick paving, Merton's plan would have succeeded.
