Mohist Tang

“Your Majesty, now is the dry season. If you miss this time, I am afraid it will be delayed for another year in the future.” Tian Mou said with a heartache.

Li Shimin couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for a while, frowning and asked: “I don’t know what the budget of this bridge is?”

Tian Mou said loudly: “Replying to his Majesty, the budget for this bridge is 200,000 yuan. It is expected to be completed in five years.”

“200,000 Guans!”

Imperial Court could not help but an uproar! Even Li Shimin dispelled the idea of taking money from the inner library. 200,000 guns may soon empty the inner library.

There was a dilemma in the Imperial Court. The Wei River Great Bridge is extremely important and must be repaired. However, if it is too expensive to build, a small Wei River Great Bridge will cost 200,000. There are more bridges to be built across the country, which is simply a bottomless pit.

“Your Majesty, although the Imperial Court has no money today, there is a place where there is a lot of money, let alone 200,000 pens, even more can be easily taken out.” Ministry of Works Ling Assistant Minister cynically Said, all eyes were on Mo Dun for an instant. I am afraid that only Mohist Village Bank can take out so much money. It is said that the current Mohist Village Bank’s single deposit has exceeded 1.5 million.

“I’m afraid the youngster is powerless.” Mo Dun shook his head.

Ministry of Works Ling Assistant Minister said with a sneer: “Its not a Mohist Family who said that as long as it benefits the country and the people, the Mohist Family is bound to act. Now Marquis of Mo has the ability to take He spent 200,000 to build the Wei River Great Bridge, but he was indifferent. Why is he also a member of the Mohist Family? How could Marquis of Mo be so far apart!”

Tian Mou could not help but flushed, but he complained about Mohist. Family Son is rich and does not help.

Mo Dun said with a sneer: “No, although there are many deposits in the Mohist Village Bank, they are the money of the people all over the world. How can the Mohist Family dare to embezzle it? Besides, the youngster once asked Your Majesty It was suggested that the bridge was funded by Mohist Village to build it. In the future, only 25 years of bridge fees must be charged, but Your Majesty categorically rejected the youngsters kindness.”

“25 years of bridge fees !”

Everyone moved in their hearts. Li Yun also said just now that this bridge can be used for a hundred years and Mohist Village will charge 25 years of tolls. Isn’t the remaining 70 years worth it?

But Dai Zhou shook his head and said: “Marquis of Mo really did a good job. The Wei River Great Bridge is the only passage from Ch_ng’n to the north. At least tens of thousands of people visit every day. Only one penny is collected per person, and 25 years is enough to buy 400,000 pens. The business of Marquis of Mo is too much!”

“Mohist Family Son is too greedy!” No Imperial Censor criticized one after another.

Mo Dun retorted: “25 years is just about doubling the appreciation. What’s this? Even the interest deposited in the Mohist Village Bank is not as good. And if the 200,000 is in the hands of A certain Mohist Its not uncommon for a tenfold increase, let alone double the trifling.”

numerous officials could not help being choked. Mohist Village deposit bank interest is 5% per year, even if it is deposited for 20 years. It is enough to double the principal, let alone five years, and for Mohist Family Son’s ability to turn stones into gold is recognized by the Imperial Court, 200,000 Guans in the hands of Mo Dun into 2 million Guans is not impossible.

“However, apart from this, there is another way. You can build this bridge without paying a share from the Imperial Court.” Mo Dun said.

“Don’t come quickly.” Li Shimin glared at Mo Dun. He disliked Mo Dun’s selling off.

Mo Dun proudly said: “Now that the end of the year is approaching, Mohist Village is about to pay taxes. If the Mohist Family’s taxes are used to build the Wei River Great Bridge, the Wei River Great Bridge will surely start on schedule.”

Dai Zhou frowned said: “As far as I know, the tax in Mohist Village is only tens of thousands per year, but it is far less than 200,000.”

Mo Dun said:” The construction period of the Wei River Great Bridge is also divided into five years, which is only 40,000 per year. With the tax from Mohist Village, it is enough. Within five years, the Imperial Court will definitely see a shocking Wei River Great Bridge.”

“This method is feasible!” Numerous officials nodded and said one after another.

“Okay, let’s proceed with this strategy.” Li Shimin said with a hammer.

Dai Zhou felt bitter. The tax in Mohist Village was not a small amount. As a result, the Ministry of Households lost a lot of income.

Ministry of Works Ling Assistant Minister and Ministry of Works High Official Zhang Liang looked at each other, and a hint of shame flashed through. He originally wanted to get a Mohist Family card once, as long as he postponed it for a year and convened the account. The skilled craftsmen of the Ministry have thoroughly studied the drawings of the Wei River Great Bridge, and they can surely hold this super Engineering Project in their hands.

Now there are people in Mohist Village who have money, and Mohist Family Xiangfu Clan lineage has technology. As long as the Wei River Great Bridge is built, the other bridges of the Imperial Court in the future will definitely fall into the hands of Mohist Family. The position of Ministry of Works will be extremely awkward.

“But there is another problem with this bridge that needs to be consulted with Your Majesty.” Mo Dun suddenly showed a shy expression on his face.

Li Shimin’s heart squatted, and suddenly knew that Mo Dun must be nothing good. Now coldly snorted and said: “Lets talk.”

Mo Dun said with a smile: “According to The youngster originally designed the bridges piers to be more than ten feet tall. Im afraid its a bit overrun.”

“More than ten feet?” Numerous officials couldnt help but sucked in a breath of cold air. Such a height shows how grand the bridge is.

“How can it be so high?” Ministry of Rites Assistant Minister Linghu Defen frowns saying.

Mo Dun explained: “In order not to affect the boating on the Weihe River, the bridge deck is at least five feet away from the water surface. In this way, the Horse Carriage from the north to the south, the boats on the Weihe River can continue to flow.”

p>

In this era, water transportation is still the main force of transportation. The water transportation on the Weihe River is extremely developed. Mo Dun is not like the boatmans livelihood when he repaired the bridge.

“Okay, I approved this overrun.” Li Shimin without the slightest hesitation’s nodded and said, the bridge was built by the Imperial Court and not privately owned. This overrun is nothing. ! “

“Your Majesty is wise! Numerous officials said one after another.

Li Shimin looked solemnly and slowly got up and said: “One person paddles, it is very difficult, everyone can paddle to start the big boat. I often say that the people can carry or overturn the boat. Whether the Great Tang boat can go further, it requires everyone to paddle together. I hope that you can work with a common purpose on the Wei River Great Bridge this time. Once my Great Tang bridge is everywhere and the Horse Carriage can pass through the world unimpeded, my Great Tang ship can sail across the ocean. “

“We obey the Holy Order! Numerous officials bowed one after another. Some officials originally wanted to do some small actions, but now they dismissed this idea one after another. This is a super great Small Official. Everyone’s eyes are staring. If anyone comes up, they will die without a burial site.

“Li Yun, I will deliver the Wei River Great Bridge to you. I hope you will not let me down. “Li Shimin said solemnly.

Li Yun was overjoyed and immediately bowed and said: “This Commoner will definitely live up to Your Majesty’s trust. “

Tian Mou on the side suddenly showed a smile of relief. His Xiangfu Clan lineage finally reached the moment of raising his eyes.
