Mohist Tang - Chapter 1312

After the coming of all nations to Korea, the contradiction between Confucianism and Mohism was really exposed.

The Confucianists suppressed Koguryo, who openly respected the Mohists, and the Mohists suppressed Fusang, who openly respected the Confucianists. The Confucianists and Mohists tied, which could make the envoys of all countries sad.

The purpose of all countries coming to Datang is not only to pay tribute to Datang, but also to the exquisite goods of Datang. If you can bring them back to your country, it will be a huge wealth.

The world’s goods are the most exquisite in Mojia village, but Confucianism is powerful in the Tang Dynasty. If you offend Confucianism, it will not be so easy to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty next time.

With the lessons of Fusang and Koguryo, these envoys from all over the world learned wisely and decided not to offend them. While pretending to admire the way of Confucius and Mencius, they humbly asked Confucianism for advice on Confucius and Mencius, they bypassed Mohism and asked the emperor to reward Mohist goods in order to bypass the stubborn Mohism. You know, Mohism doesn’t even give Koguryo a good face, They don’t want to be boring.

Kong Yingda was embarrassed when he heard the news, but he was helpless at last. After all, Confucianism is no matter how strong it is, it can’t control these outsiders. Moreover, Fusang, who wants to respect Confucianism alone, has been suppressed by Mohism. Kong Yingda can only put the opportunity to expand the influence of Confucianism on other countries. This phenomenon is also turned a blind eye and greatly solicited, Open the door.

Seeing the Confucian attitude, envoys from all over the world were determined and wrote to the imperial court one after another.

“What, these envoys from all over the world asked the Mohists to give a batch of Mohist goods.” Merton stared at the visiting linghude.

The Minister of rites ordered Hu De to nod and said, “the envoys of all nations jointly wrote to the imperial court that they admire the material China of the Tang Dynasty. They have long heard that Mohist products are superior to nature and ask your majesty for a reward.”

“These ambassadors of all nations are addicted to whoring for nothing, and your majesty agrees?” Merton said urgently.

Linghu de shook his head and said, “Your Majesty has not agreed yet. Many Mohist products involve secrets. Your majesty wants mohou to provide a batch of goods that do not involve secrets for the imperial court.”

Li Shimin originally wanted to open his mouth and agree. It slowed down when he thought that Merton refused the temptation of Koguryo to respect the Mohist School in order to keep his ink skills secret.

Merton was relieved: “Mo thought this wind could not be opened. Since entering the Tang Dynasty, these envoys of all nations have been treated by the Tang Dynasty all the way. Although they pay tribute to their majesty, the reward of the Tang Dynasty is often several times that of the Tang Dynasty. If they are allowed to take Mohist goods back home, they will make a lot of money, which will not encourage the greed of envoys of all nations.”

Linghu de frowned and said, “the envoys of all countries are barbarians. If they are not driven by interests, they can willingly come to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute.”

In fact, how can the imperial court not see the behavior of the envoys of all countries taking advantage of it? However, for the sake of so-called face, it can only be lured by profit. If the envoys of all countries leave at a loss, I’m afraid they won’t come next time. The grand occasion of the coming of all countries in the Tang Dynasty will no longer exist, which the imperial court can’t tolerate.

“Taking advantage for a while can only encourage the greed of envoys of all countries. If they can’t meet the appetite of envoys of all countries in the future, they will be eaten back in the future. Only mutual benefit is the long-term plan. After all, no matter how rich Datang is, it can’t stop so many envoys from collecting wool.”

“Pull up the wool!” Linghu dehu couldn’t help rolling his eyes, but had to admit that Merton’s description was very vivid.

“In that case, let the Mohist family be the villain. Thank you, Lord Linghu, for telling your majesty that the Mohist family opposes the reward of envoys of all countries. If envoys of all countries want Mohist goods, they should add 30% tariff to the original price. Of course, they can only buy some goods designated by the Mohist family. In this way, the more goods rewarded by the court to envoys of all countries can be compensated with 30% tariff , not always losing money. ”

“Add 30% more tariff to buy? Would the envoys of all nations ever be willing?” Linghu de raised his eyebrows.

Merton snorted coldly, “what do they don’t want? Even if they add 30% more tariff, they can earn 10 times and 100 times return after they are transported back to the country. Just like the Silk Road, only when driven by interests, someone will come all the way.”

Linghu de nodded thoughtfully, and then got up and went back to report.

Sure enough, the imperial court is not stupid and has a lot of money. It agreed to this method. The Tang Dynasty is full of waste and needs a lot of money. Naturally, it is unwilling to do business at a loss all the time. Charging 30% tariff is just to make up for the loss. The villain let the Mohist do it again, and the imperial court has face again.

When the news of Mohist’s opposition to the reward of Mohist goods to envoys from all over the world came out, all the envoys couldn’t help regretting. This time, they really stole chicken instead of rice. If they bought it directly, it would still be the original price. Now they are smart and want to go whoring with Datang for nothing, but they are beaten in the face by Mohist.

However, even so, the ambassadors of all nations did not hesitate to immediately increase the price by 30% to buy Mohist products. Anyone with a little business vision knows that Mohist products are the best in the world. As long as they are transported back to China, they can get rich overnight.

“It’s short-sighted to stick to the rules, and Mohism is isolated from other countries!” many Confucian scholars sneered at the price increase of Mohism. Any hundred schools dream of expanding their influence, but Mohism is even isolated from other countries.

“One bird in the hand is better than a hundred birds in the forest. The move of the Mohist school is a wise move. The Mohist school is already struggling in the Tang Dynasty, and the Confucianism is eyeing it. How dare the Mohist school leave the slightest handle.” other people of the other hundred schools think that the move of the Mohist school is just self-protection.

“I think this move of Mohist school is sincere. Mohist school always serves and is loyal to the Tang Dynasty. This is the one hundred schools that are loyal to the Tang Dynasty.” unlike the contempt and conspiracy theory of the upper class, Merton’s move is widely praised by the middle and lower classes, and the other hundred schools are eager to expand countries. Only Mohist school always stands on the side of the Tang Dynasty and does not move for the temptation of the outside world, This alone, Mohism is more popular than other hundred schools.

“Hum, it’s just fishing for fame!” in Huichang temple, the defense machine sniffed at the move of Mohism.

Other Buddhists nodded one after another, and the abbot of his colleagues drank coldly: “after the revival of Mohism, the Mohists are becoming more and more arrogant and arrogant, and they will eat the consequences sooner or later.”

“The Mohist School adheres to the rules and will be eliminated in the contention of a hundred schools of thought. I have heard a lot about the Buddhist School in Fusang. I don’t know if the Buddhist school is willing to travel to the east to preach the Dharma, so that outsiders can also have the chance to visit the Buddha Sutra.” Fujiwara said respectfully.

The Buddhist monks were overjoyed. Falin led the Tang monks to create the reincarnation method of spiritual children in Tubo, which has been widely spread in Tubo. If they can cross Fusang to the East and reproduce the miracle of Tubo Buddhism in Fusang, the momentum of Buddhism will rise greatly.

“Da Shan, our Buddhism advocates the equality of all living beings. Both the people of the Tang Dynasty and the people of Fusang are our Buddhist disciples, and the Buddhism will treat them equally.” Abbot Lang Shengdao of Tongren.

Fujiwara folded his hands and bowed down: “I have always yearned for Buddhism in Fusang, but Fusang has a small country and few people, weak national strength and backward technology. I’m afraid to neglect the Buddha. I don’t know whether the Buddha can provide the process of casting Buddha for the Buddha to serve the Buddha.”

The defense machine was immediately unhappy. Fusang was really dishonest. He openly respected the Buddha. In fact, the Buddhist family needed to provide ink skills for Fusang.

“But!” Abbot Tongren said without hesitation. He was not as green as the defense machine. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world. If you want to worship Buddha, you must give sufficient benefits to Fusang.

“The people of Fusang are suffering. If the Buddhists can help Fusang change the current situation, the people of Fusang can have enough wealth to worship the Buddha.” Fujiwara said respectfully again.

“How dare you make a deal with the Buddhist family?” the debater was furious.

Tongren Abbot looked at Fujiwara with calm eyes and said, “although there are craftsmen who have converted to Buddhism, they are ordinary people with backward skills, and Buddhism will not offend Mohism for the sake of Fusang.”

Abbot Tongren understood very well that Buddhism only has some ordinary crafts, and it is impossible for Buddhism to steal Mohist secrets for the sake of Fusang.

“Fusang understands!” Fujiwara showed a trace of satisfaction. Fujiwara should have achieved nothing this time. It was an unexpected joy to pull over the Buddhist family. I didn’t expect to have an unexpected harvest.

Buddhists are also very satisfied with the meeting. Confucianism and Mohism compete with Snipes and mussels, while Buddhists reap benefits. Buddhists are the biggest winners in this tribute to all countries.
