"What the hell is going on?" Li Tai muttered to himself, he couldn't believe it, he was looking at Merton now more like a magic stick than looking at Yuan Shoucheng, if he hadn't said it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this was the truth. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}

Li Chengqian and the others also stepped forward one after another, feeling the biting cold, and couldn't help but exclaim, and Li Zhi jumped around excitedly.

"This is the art of ghost creation!" Yuan Shoucheng let out a long shout, and his heart couldn't help but be excited, if this method appeared in Taoism first, it would definitely make the prestige of Taoism go to a higher level, but unfortunately Taoism has eyes and no beads, and there are treasures in hand, but he doesn't know that there is such a change, and he misses it.

"This is Moxue!" Merton raised his voice and said in a high-pitched voice.

"Moxue?" Li Tai suddenly groaned, he thought that he was well-read, and he had dabbled in the books of hundreds of schools, but this kind of knowledge was unheard of.

During this period of time, the Mo family's skills can be said to be famous in Chang'an, but that is within the scope of ordinary people's understanding, but this time Mo Dun actually made ice in the summer, it is incredible, I can't help but feel jealous, and I opened my mouth and said: "It's just a kit kat and a lewd skill!" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei said this is wrong, ink study is to study the law between the operation of all things, and the study of benefiting mankind, the Tang Dynasty every year because of the heat and accidental heat stroke of countless people, if the method of ice making can be popularized, then the hot weather can ordinary people can eat ice to relieve the heat, the room can be put into the ice basin can be the court and the princes can work with peace of mind, this is an indispensable thing in summer." Merton explained.

"How much ice can be made from these wall frosts!" Li Tai snorted coldly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is wrong, wall frost is a mineral, as long as it is mined, there will be a lot, and this kind of wall frost can be reused, after the ice is condensed, and then the water dissolved in the wall frost is dried, and the wall frost will appear again, and it can also be reused." Merton Road.

Li Tai suddenly opened his mouth, he didn't expect the wall cream to have such an effect, if so, the wall cream has almost no loss, and the cost is negligible.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy to make ice!" Li Shimin sighed, thinking of the difficulty of the method of hiding ice, saltpeter ice making can almost be said to be the most trouble-free.

"It seems simple, but in fact, it is like a mountain, and the poor road is ashamed, and the wall frost is a commonly used thing in the poor road, but there are no eyes." Yuan Shoucheng said ashamedly.

"Yuan Dao is too humble, the kid can have today's achievements, but he is just standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, and he really doesn't dare to take credit!" Merton said modestly.

"Standing on the shoulders of those who came before you, what do you mean by this?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty, among the hundreds of schools of pre-Qin princes, Confucianism and Taoism have the deepest influence, and no matter how virtuous Confucianism is, it can't compare to Confucius and Mencius!"

Li Chengqian nodded silently, looking admiring.

Merton turned his gaze to Yuan Shoucheng and said sincerely: "And the Taoist Huang Lao's learning, no one is out of Lao Zhuang's left. ”

"I am ashamed of the poor way, and what I have learned is not as good as the one of the two saints." Yuan Shoucheng nodded.

"The core of Legalism has long been fixed, and the laws of every dynasty and generation cannot escape the words 'settle disputes and stop disputes, promote merit and fear violence'." Merton said.

Li Shimin nodded his head, what Merton said is true, the core idea of the Tang Dynasty Law is indeed these two.

"As for the Mo family, there is no shackle of the predecessors, only paving the way with the descendants, the lever principle of Mosheng, the kid uses it on the well, and the pulley principle of Mosheng, the kid makes it into a pulley that lifts 10,000 catties of heavy objects. Therefore, the theory of the sages of the Mo family is not to let the descendants of the Mo family be shackled in this framework, but to let the descendants step on their shoulders, see higher, and go further. ”

After Merton finished speaking, Li Shimin was silent for a while.

Indeed, although the three schools of Confucianism, Confucianism and Taoism are widely spread, they are all based on the wisdom of their predecessors, and it is almost impossible to surpass them. Only the Mohists are the most likely.

"In addition to the teachings of the sages in this world, there are many unsolved mysteries, and Moxue is to understand the secrets, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and benefit the people." Merton said with a righteous face.

"Hehehe!" Li Shimin suddenly sneered, he knew this little catfish best, and benefiting the people was indeed one of them, and it was indispensable to seek personal benefits for Mojia Village.

Mo Dun's face suddenly turned red and said: "Of course, before this, the Mo family also has to get rich first, after all, it takes a lot of money to study Moxue. ”

"Humph! You're telling the truth. Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Merton suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, in order to show the sincerity of the kid, Mojia Village will give up the tax-free privilege of the title, and will definitely pay taxes on time in accordance with the Datang Tax Law." ”

This sentence is not said by Merton on the spur of the moment, Merton believes that the reason why the status of merchants at this time in ancient times is low, in addition to the bad reputation of merchants who do not produce and hoard Juqi, there is also a reason that the contribution of merchants to the court is too little, and most of the imperial court is field tax, and the commercial tax collected is simply negligible.

The scale of Mojia Village will definitely continue to expand, if you just ask for it and don't know the return, it will definitely cause countless people to blush, on the contrary, if Moton can provide Chang'an City with astronomical taxes every year, then there will naturally be countless people to protect Mojia Village, after all, no one will do anything to kill chickens and take eggs.

Li Shimin didn't expect Merton to have such an idea, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"That's really what you're thinking." Li Shimin said with a solemn face.

"Your Majesty, it is already a great gift to be able to make an exception to allow Mojia Village to do business without being a lowly citizen, and Mojia Village will naturally not be disappointed by Your Majesty, and it is a matter of course to do business and pay taxes."

Merton knew that this move might offend many powerful people who were secretly doing business, but the situation in Mojia Village was different, and the business in Mojia Village was originally licensed by the emperor, which naturally made Li Shimin feel cold.

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing loudly, and said in his heart, Is there still a lack of your taxes, and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to dismiss Merton.

But after thinking about it, this kid from the four-wheeled carriage business alone earned 100,000 yuan in half a month, which is millions of yuan a year, and the tax collection is at least tens of thousands of yuan a year, and this is just a business in Mojia Village, I couldn't help but change my tone and said: "After I go back, there will naturally be Dai Shangshu to calculate and pay taxes to Mojia Village, if you dare to mess up things in the future, be careful of your ass." ”

"Yes! Emperor! Mo Dun hurriedly responded, and he was indeed relieved in his heart, this time, the four-wheeled carriage earned 100,000 yuan a month, and suddenly Mojia Village sat in the crater, and the money was moving, and Mojia Village would fall into a crisis if he was not careful.

And as long as the head of the household department Dai Xuan comes to collect taxes, it naturally means that the emperor has paid attention to this matter, and the cow ghosts and snake gods in the dark will naturally disappear without a trace, and the crisis in Mojia Village will disappear invisibly.
