Not only Confucianism and Taoism are staring at Mohism, but even other schools of thought are also staring at Mohism. However, Mohism has not moved at all.


    "What''s the matter? Why hasn''t the Mo family been moving? Did they take the initiative to admit defeat?" the little mage of Yin-Yang family frowned.


    "Never underestimate the Mo family. I used to observe this man with the skill of looking at Qi. This man is unfathomable. He is the most strange life style I have seen in my life. Coupled with his experience of several Jedi turnover, I''m afraid even Confucianism and Taoism don''t think the Mo family has conceded defeat." Yin Yangzi said seriously.


    "How come the Mohist school hasn''t responded." the little mage said unconvinced.


    Yin and Yang shook his head and said, "since the idea of precise one-day time was put forward by Mohist Zi, Mohist Zi must have made up his mind. In my opinion, Mohist Zi must have waited for the opportunity or encountered some difficulties."


    …………………………


    "Master, Taoism and Confucianism have already made moves, and Chang''an city is full of rumors that the Mohists have conceded defeat. Why hasn''t master made moves yet." in the Mohist house, Wu Meiniang looked worried and said to Merton.


    Merton took a sip of tea and said calmly, "what''s the matter? Although Confucianism and Taoism have made progress, they have not overcome the shortcomings of existing time tools. It''s easy for the Mohist school to surpass them.


    "Seriously! Master, don''t deceive disciples?" Wu Meiniang was a little unconvinced. In his opinion, Confucianism and Taoism had reached the extreme, and it was difficult to improve any more.


    "Oh! Prince Ben also wants to see the latest masterpiece of Mohism." suddenly a familiar voice came, and Li Chengqian came over, followed by Li Zhi.


    "Your Majesty went to Mount Tai for Zen. His Highness the prince is in charge of the country. How can he have time to come to Mo mansion?" Merton got up to salute and said unexpectedly.


    "When my father and Emperor leave Beijing, all government affairs are naturally taken care of by hundreds of officials. Where does the prince have any government affairs? Just when the ninth brother misses Changle, the palace takes the ninth brother to see Changle." Li Chengqian said with a smile, in fact, Li Chengqian is not all right. During the last period of state supervision, he and Merton united to reform the post station, which can be described as a remarkable political achievement. Now, when he is in state supervision again, he also wants to show his hands and feet, but he finds that everything has been arranged by Li Shimin. He is only a person who carries the seal. It is just when Li Zhi is making a fuss to come to Merton''s house that Li Chengqian thinks of Merton and wants to ask for help An idea. I just heard what Merton said.


    Soon, Princess Changle came to hear the news, and the brothers and sisters met happily.


    "By the way, my brother-in-law said that he already had a way to surpass Taoism and Confucianism. I don''t know if I can let the young slaves see it." suddenly, Li Zhidao on one side cured him.


    Suddenly, people''s eyes came one after another. Merton was helpless and said, "it''s very simple. The Confucian method of watchmaking is to let the people of Chang''an hear time, while the Taoist sundial is to let people see time. The Mohist school only needs to combine these two methods into one."


    "You can hear time and see time?" they frowned and looked at Merton in some confusion.


    Merton looked up slightly and looked up.


    Wu Meiniang was immediately impressed and said, "what master said is heaven! No, it should be on a high building."


    They suddenly realized that if the sundial was placed high, they could easily see and hear further.


    "But the sundial is so heavy, how can it be moved to a high building, let alone seen! You can''t hear the Gong!" questioned Princess Changle.


    Merton shook his head and said, "the principle of the sundial is to use the shadow of the sun to represent time, and it can''t be used in cloudy days and nights. I''m ready to use a huge pointer to replace the shadow. Where the hollow sundial points to, it represents which time. Only one person can easily solve the shortcomings of the sundial."


    "Wonderful!" Li Chengqian exclaimed.


    "It''s best to build a hollow sundial on all sides so that everyone can see the most accurate time as soon as they look up," Merton added.


    Wu Meiniang immediately brightened her eyes and quickly wrote it down.


    "As for the method of watchmaking, it''s better to do it. The sound of gongs is too small. The neighbors can hear it, but I''m afraid they can''t hear it across the street. Mo is going to change it into a Buddhist Buddhist bell. Every morning, the bell of the temple is heard in half of Chang''an city. Mo puts the clock in a hollow sundial on all sides, knocks it at midnight, twice in the ugly room, three times in the Yin,... As a result, the people You only need to hear the sound to know what time it is. "


    As soon as Mo ton finished, everyone instantly understood the idea of Merton. He couldn''t help thinking of the extraordinary idea of Mo Zi''s family. He even came up with the whimsy, which not only perfectly solved the shortcomings of the sundial and the way to fight more, but also integrated the essence of Taoist Confucianism and Buddhism.


    "This method Mo calls it four side clock!" Merton smiled knowingly.


    "The four clocks are really appropriate. Once they are completed, they will surely have hundreds of skills and greatly facilitate the life of Chang''an city." Li Chengqian exclaimed.


    "Then what are we waiting for? Build it quickly! I''m the best at building high-rise buildings in Mohism." Wu Meiniang immediately rubbed her hands and said.


    Merton sighed: "it''s not difficult to build a four-way clock, but if you want the whole city to see it, it needs to be very high, but it involves a difficult problem, that is, exceeding the system."


    "Overstepping the system?" Wu Meiniang immediately stopped. According to the regulations of the imperial court, civil buildings can not exceed the imperial palace. There is no doubt that the four clocks that can be seen by the whole city are overstepping the system. You know that the Mohist construction of the maternal and child hospital building and the Mohist organ city strictly abide by this bottom line. "


    "No, the Buddhist pagodas are up to tens of feet high. The wild goose pagoda built for the empress changsun has seven floors. How can it not exceed the system?" Wu Meiniang asked.


    "That''s where the gods are worshipped. Naturally, it can exceed the system." Li Zhi explained.


    "But the four bells built by the Mohist school, although not dedicated to gods, are also beneficial to the country and the people. Isn''t it more meaningful than the ethereal gods praying?" Wu Meiniang said angrily.


    Merton put out his hand to stop the disciple''s complaint and said, "the reason why I didn''t act as a teacher is to ask your majesty to pardon the four clock overstepping the system when his majesty Taishan returns from Zen."


    Li Chengqian moved in his heart and said with a loud laugh, "it''s easy to do this. Why wait for his father''s return? His father must agree to such things that benefit the country and the people. This palace is just supervising the country. He can agree to it tomorrow morning. Brother Mo will certainly give his father a big surprise if he can be built when his father returns."


    The four side clock is not a place where people live, so it doesn''t matter whether it exceeds the system or not. Not to mention the great use of the four side clock, Li Shimin''s chances of passing the matter are almost certain. Li Chengqian just took the opportunity to ask Merton for a favor.


    "That''s simple. You just need to build four clocks on the Mohist mechanism city. With a five story mechanism city as the foundation, it''s enough to be built when the emperor returns." Wu Meiniang said confidently.


    Everyone nodded. According to Merton''s description, this four clock is not difficult. It is not difficult to defeat the highly skilled Mohist village. Building it on the Mohist mechanism city will save more than half of the time. I believe Chang''an city will add another landmark soon.


    However, Merton shook his head and said, "mermou has not started the construction of four clocks. In addition to exceeding the system, there is another problem."


    "There''s still a problem?" the people frowned. In their view, the idea of four clocks has reached perfection. Once it is published, it is enough to crush the corona and watch, so as to further improve the reputation of Mohism.


    Merton shook his head and said with a wry smile, "it is true that once the clock comes out, it is easy for Mohism to win over Taoism and Confucianism. However, in this way, a hundred schools only strive for victory or defeat, but they lose the real significance of a hundred schools of thought, that is, to study more advanced knowledge."


    As soon as Merton said this, everyone was silent. It had to be said that the mind of the Mohists really shocked them.


    "This time, what the hundred schools are arguing about is to redefine the time of the day. Whether it is watch, sundial or even four clocks, they seem to go further in time, but they also do not touch the essence of time."


    "The essence of time?" Li Chengqian was stunned and looked at Merton.


    The others were also confused and didn''t understand Merton''s meaning.


    "What is time? Time is like running water, with eternal movement, continuity and order of change." Merton said Mohist terms, and everyone was at a loss.


    "That''s what Confucius said. Time passes like this, day and night!" Merton said helplessly.


    People suddenly realized what Merton meant.


    Merton sighed in his heart that although he was a child of Mohism, he could not sigh about Confucius'' wisdom. In a simple sentence, he summarized the essence of time and was easy to understand.


    "Our common timing units are the time of year, month and day, and the newly added words and seconds of Taoism. However, twelve months a year, thirty days a month, twelve hours a day, eight quarters an hour, and one quarter is equal to three words. However, can you know how many seconds a word is equal to and how many seconds a day?" Merton continued.


    They shook their heads. The Taoist definition of second is to breathe and breathe. However, people''s breathing is long and short, so it can''t be accurate at all.


    Although the four sides of the clock are the essence of all classes of authors, they are merely a mere act of their own, but without any truth, and without a bit of ink art. If they are rushed out, they will be laughed at by hundreds of people. Therefore, Mo Mou is going to make an ink technique, which can accurately calculate every word and moment per second, even to the time of year, but it has been without any clue. "


    "Don''t worry, master. It''s not a matter of a hundred schools of thought competing overnight. One day, master will peep into the essence of time and make the most accurate time." Wu Meiniang said confidently to master.


    Merton gave Wu Meiniang a white look. As an apprentice, he didn''t share his worries with the master. Instead, he wanted to gnaw at the old man. He waved him out to take care of his younger martial sister and younger martial brother.


    When Li Chengqian and Li Zhi come, Princess Changle happens to accompany them. Wu Meiniang is most suitable to look after Mosha and mertan.


    "I also want to see Mosha and mertan!" after Wu Meiniang left, Li Zhi couldn''t sit still, got up and went to the three-story villa.


    Merton frowned as he watched Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi leave one after another. Could it be that the wheel of history would repeat itself, and the two would finally come together.


    "Hahaha, my fair lady, the gentleman is happy, and the ninth brother has grown up!" Li Chengqian flashed his eyes and laughed.
