"Something more precious than a seed?"

After Merton's demonstration just now, the people of Chang'an City have really heard the effects of various seeds, as long as it is true, even any one is enough to make Datang benefit a lot.

The crowd couldn't think of anything else that could be more precious than these gold.

All of a sudden, everyone turned their attention to a group of Hu businessmen.

The Hu merchants were also confused, they really couldn't think of anything else on their bodies that was so precious.

"Clever! Do you want to know what else this kid wants to do? Li Shimin's heart is like tens of thousands of cat's claws scratching his heart, and his heart is itching.

"Back to my father, my sons don't know, my sons only know that Morton once said that the Western Regions will have what the Mo family needs." A few days ago, Merton mentioned it casually, but Li Chengqian did not ask.

"Aren't diamonds and seeds enough to satisfy the Mo family?" Li Tai said sourly.

In his view, no matter which one is precious, but Mo Jiazi actually said that this is not what he needs, which simply makes everyone embarrassed.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "Diamonds are a luxury thing, the Mo family advocates frugality and frugality, this thing is not in line with the Mo family concept, the seed is indeed a farmer's thing, and it is not the Mo family's doing." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded, according to this analysis, there is indeed some truth.

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said with some difficulty: "According to what Erchen has seen, it is very likely that Merton took out the diamonds and seeds just to 'throw bricks and attract jade'. ”

Li Shimin and the princes suddenly felt that it was simply ridiculous, and the brick thrown by Mo Jiazi was more precious than any jade in the world. So what jade did he want to draw out of this most expensive brick in the world?

Morton didn't play dumb riddles for everyone anymore, but said directly: "What the Mo family wants is knowledge. ”

"Knowledge?"

Suddenly, many people's hearts moved, as if they vaguely grasped a trace of Merton's intentions.

A Hu merchant shook his head and said: "It's good that Lord Mo is disappointed, we are just a businessman, where is there any knowledge." ”

The other Hu businessmen also shook their heads one after another, looking regretful.

"The knowledge here is not your knowledge, the sages of the Mo family have traveled to the country of Er, where they have seen the splendid civilization, and countless classic books, but the road is far away, but they can only bring back a few words, and some unique knowledge, but Rao is so, it has benefited the Mo family a lot." Merton explained.

The group of Hu businessmen suddenly became stunned. The people of Chang'an City also understood the meaning expressed by Mo Jiazi, and the ordinary people suddenly felt a little bored, where are those books and books better than shining diamonds.

But in the ears of some readers, it was like thunder, and they trembled.

"The Mo family has great ambitions, everyone in the world says that the Mo family is vainly trying to cultivate a hundred schools, who would have thought that the Mo family would be ready to cultivate both Chinese and foreign."

Under the stands, a Confucian student muttered to himself.

In the private room upstairs, Wei Si'an suddenly looked depressed, Chen Sheng once said: The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird, and at this moment, even if there is no comparison, Wei Si'an is already ashamed of himself, in contrast, Merton is the high-flying bird, and he is afraid that he can't even compare with the bird.

"Chinese and foreign!"

Li Shimin's eyes also lit up suddenly.

"Wouldn't it be a sacrifice to learn some knowledge of the Barbarian Land?" Li Tai shook his head and said, Datang's thousands of years of knowledge are already broad and profound, how can he still learn the knowledge of the barbarian land.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "The third brother doesn't know, the Mo family has been silent for thousands of years, and it can rise so quickly, in addition to a lot of ink skills, foreign knowledge is also indispensable, and the numbers we have learned are from Tianzhu and other places." ”

Sure enough, I heard Morton say: "The sages of the Mo family once traveled to Tianzhu and other places, and brought Tianzhu numbers from there, which are now widely spread in the Tang Dynasty. ”

The businessman from Tianzhu turned from joy to sorrow, and the number of Tianzhu had been introduced to the Tang Dynasty, and the Mo family naturally would not need it anymore.

"But don't be sad for Tianzhu friends, after the grand event in the Western Regions, all friends who come from Tianzhu, the Mo family will give each person a bottle to relieve a thousand sorrows." Merton turned and shouted at a group of turban-wearing Hu merchants.

These Tianzhu businessmen suddenly smiled, Xie Qianchou has always had a bottle of money in Datang, one bottle per person, which is simply a windfall.

Only then did the Hu merchants become solemn, and the knowledge that had been introduced to the Tang Dynasty was so valuable to the Mo family, wouldn't those precious books in their own country be more valuable.

"The Mohist sages also traveled to the land of Persia, where they had the privilege of reading the Code of Hammurabi, a classic of foreign legalists, and heard about the magnificence of the hanging gardens that spread everywhere."

The Persian merchants suddenly held their chests high, which was the greatest pride of Persia.

"I have traveled to the land of Egypt, seen the tall pyramids and the Sphinx, and was saved a life by a skilled healer."

One or two Egyptian businessmen hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"The sages of the Mohists once traveled to the far west of the country, where they had the privilege of reading a work called Archimedes, and said that his achievements were comparable to those of Mozi."

A Great Qin Hu Shang, who was about fifty years old, stood up and saluted the Mo family.

"It's comparable to Mozi."

Immediately, the people present were in an uproar, you must know that with Moton's vigorous publicity, Mozi is now famous in the Tang Dynasty, and Mo Jiazi actually admitted that in the extreme west, there are characters comparable to Mozi.

"Archimedes is indeed the sage of my Great Qin, but there are no books below, but I have a book in my hand of a person as famous as Archimedes, this person is named Socrates." Daqin Hu Shang Road.

This person is also a down-and-out aristocrat, the Silk Road is a long road, along the way, this person is relying on this book to pass the loneliness of the journey.

Merton nodded and said, "The sages of the Mo family once mentioned that this person is indeed a sage on the same level as Archimedes. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and the Mohists claimed that Archimedes' achievements were comparable to Mozi, and Socrates, who was on the same level as him, was also comparable to the other hundred schools.

The hundred schools of thought in the Tang Dynasty are the culminators of learning, each of whom has reached the pinnacle of their respective fields, and in the barbarian land of the West, two characters comparable to the hundred schools of thought have appeared one after another, which makes everyone in an uproar.

Great Qin Hu Shang quickly sent someone to fetch a large thick parchment scroll, delivered it to Merton's hand, and said, "I don't know how much this book is worth?" ”

Merton looked at the worn and worn book, which had obviously been turned over countless times, and couldn't help but show a hint of excitement: "If this book is true, this is a priceless treasure."

"Priceless?" Everyone was puzzled.

Merton shook his head slowly, everything in this world has its value, only knowledge is priceless.
