The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

"Old man, where is the giant of the Mo family now?"

After an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs led people into the village, he politely asked an old man who was taking a nap in the sun at the entrance of the village.

"What?"

The old man was very old and had some hearing loss, so he didn't hear what he said at first.

The official asked again politely and said, "We are here to see the Mohist giant. Could you please give me some directions?"

"The Mo family giant? You mean Xu Mo, the young man? I heard people say that he is some kind of giant before."

The old man said suddenly, and then suddenly looked at the official and the five or six followers behind him warily, and said: "What do you want to do with Xu Mo? You are not here to arrest them, are you?"

Mohist disciples do good deeds everywhere and sometimes force themselves to stand up for the people, so they are occasionally arrested and punished by the government.

The official of the Ministry of Personnel smiled, cupped his hands towards the north and said, "We are here to invite the Mohist giant to the palace on your Majesty's order."

"His Majesty?"

The old man was shocked when he heard this. He had never seen anyone from the palace in his life, let alone the emperor's messenger.

But after hearing what the official said, he no longer had any doubts, so he went up and led them towards the village.

Bianzhou is also one of the areas hit by drought. Now that the drought has been resolved, agricultural irrigation facilities such as waterwheels and canals can be seen everywhere in the village, and the fertile farmland has regained its vitality.

The old man led the officials to a field bank, pointed to a man working in the field and said, "That is Xu Mo, the Mohist giant you are looking for."

"Is he the Mohist giant?"

The officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs were stunned when they saw this. They really didn't expect that a Mohist giant would actually go to the fields to farm in person.

Surprised, surprised, remembering the mission this time, after the official wrote to the old man, he walked over and said loudly: "May I ask if I am Mr. Xu Mo, a giant of the Mohist family?"

The latter heard this and looked up at him.

Xu Mo is a young man who looks a bit weak and bookish. It is hard to imagine that such a young man is the rumored Mo family giant.

"I am, you are the people sent by Mr. Du, right? If you persuade me to become an official, I will be exempted."

Xu Mo wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck and said, obviously it was not the first time that Du Ruhui sent someone to look for him.

The official from the Ministry of Personnel smiled slightly and said, "We are here to invite Mr. Xu to the palace on the orders of the Emperor."

"The Son of Heaven?"

Hearing this, not only Xu Mo, but also many villagers in the farmland were startled and looked at Xu Mo with surprised eyes.

What an honor it is when the emperor personally sends someone to summon him to the palace to have an audience!

Xu Mo didn't expect this to be the case, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "How could I be able to enter His Majesty's eyes?"

The official of the Ministry of Personnel smiled and said: "Mr. Xu took the Mohist children around to do good deeds and help with farming. During the drought, he also helped people in various places dig wells to find water sources. Last time, he assisted the imperial court in building a naval army. That's why Your Majesty wants to summon Mr. Xu to the palace." See you in person."

"But the most important thing is that His Majesty is interested in your Mo family."

It was okay to hear the previous words, but the latter words directly made Xu Mo's heart move.

Is it possible that Your Majesty is interested in our Mohist philosophy?If this is true, then this will be a good opportunity for my Mohist philosophy to develop and grow!

So he said directly: "The common people are willing to go."

........

Because Li Chengdao was well-known, the Mohist tycoon readily followed officials from the Ministry of Personnel to the palace to have an audience.

Du Ruhui felt incredible when he heard the news. He originally thought that he would have to take action himself in the end.

Almost ten days later, Li Chengdao met Xu Mo and the Mohist disciples who came with him in the palace.

Royal study.

"The common man Xu Mo, please pay homage to Your Majesty."

Xu Mo knelt down respectfully towards Li Chengdao and paid homage.

Li Chengdao looked at Xu Mo, a little surprised at his youth, and then said with a smile: "Don't the Mohists advocate equality for everyone? Why do you, as a giant of the Mohist family, kneel down to worship me when you see me?"

What he said was a bit of a challenge and a test, and he wanted to see how courageous this Mohist giant was.

The Mohist disciples at the back were a little uneasy, but Xu Mo said: "Your Majesty is an eternal sage. This disaster relief has saved tens of millions of people in time. His achievements are even greater than those of Yao and Shun, so the common people will naturally worship him."

"And His Majesty's remarks that man can conquer nature also made the common people admire him."

This sounds like flattery, but from the mouths of straight-minded people like the Mohists, it is the truth.

Li Chengdao smiled and could not deny this, and then asked: "Do you know what I am calling you for today?"

"I know a thing or two. The common people thought a lot on the road. I thought that Your Majesty was interested in Mohist theory, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that His Majesty is a very human being and pays more attention to achievements, making the Tang Dynasty more powerful."

"So ordinary people would venture to guess that His Majesty is actually interested in the technology mastered by our Mo family."

Xu Mo replied, which surprised Li Chengdao.

"Du Qing called you many times before and you refused to join the court as an official. Since you know that I am interested in your Mo family's technology, why do you come to the palace to see me this time?"

Li Chengdao asked.

According to the Mo family's personality, they should run far away and would not be able to visit the palace.

And Xu Mo's answer was quite unexpected.

"The reason why the kings in the past wooed my Mohist family was because they wanted to rely on our Mohist family's technology to strengthen their armies. This is not my wish."

"But your Majesty is different. Whether your Majesty is asking the Ministry of Revenue to spend millions of silver for disaster relief in advance, or forcing major aristocratic families to hand over food to save the people, it can be seen that your Majesty is a benevolent king who cares about the people."

"A monarch like your majesty deserves to be accompanied by our Mohist family. We, our Mohist family, are willing to dedicate a small amount of effort to your majesty's orders."

Xu Mo said seriously.

Li Chengdao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "This generation of Mohist giants is indeed very human, and the Mohist family will be rejuvenated because of you!"

"You are right. I am indeed interested in the technology mastered by your Mohist family, because in my opinion, technology is the primary productive force and the key to making the country strong."

Li Chengdao's words made Xu Mo's eyes light up immediately. ..
