Every day, Su Liang is busy until very late before falling asleep, and he sleeps lazily until the sun is high in the sky before getting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Tang of today is not like later generations where one can lie on a bed at night playing games, scrolling through videos, or reading novels; apart from that bit of business between men and women, there really isn't much to pass the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Mahjong invented by Su Liang doesn't count; the women have long since grown tired of playing it and can no longer muster the slightest interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, under Su Liang's continuous development, the women in Furong Garden have not only become increasingly alluring in figure, but they have also mastered quite a bit of interesting knowledge among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more knowledge they have, the better they cooperate, and the smoother and more comfortable the \"driving\" becomes, so naturally, they go to sleep late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liang's physique, under the transformation of the system, has long been incredibly robust, and this period can be considered as him going full throttle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the bedding has to be changed every day, otherwise, it is uncomfortable to sleep in the dampness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last few days, Changle has also been persuading Su Liang to take in the few dowry maids. Currently, Su Liang only has the four women and one chamber maid, Yu'er; they really cannot handle much more tossing and turning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liang did not agree to this immediately. It is not that Su Liang is being coy; after all, such things are only interesting when both parties are willing. Su Liang is not the type of person to stir up trouble just for the sake of lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women currently get along very harmoniously, and Su Liang does not want to disturb this warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these days, Li Er has also urged Su Liang many times to work hard so that he can hold a grandson sooner. Su Liang is too lazy to pay attention to this; in Su Liang's view, one must be at least sixteen to conceive, and currently, the only one in Furong Garden who meets this condition is Ruyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Su Liang finds most surprising is that Li Yuan has not yet moved to Furong Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly one day, Su Liang discovered that the system's prestige points were skyrocketing, and for a moment, Su Liang was so happy he couldn't close his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Su Liang's prestige points have reached over thirty million, but after Su Liang completely calmed down, he felt incredibly depressed. Although Su Liang has saved up one-third of a \"small goal,\" the problem he is facing now makes Su Liang feel very helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the demolition work has all been handled properly, and now is the time to worry about infrastructure materials like pipes and wires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the common people have all gone to build roads, manufacturing these materials will inevitably delay the construction period. For a moment, Su Liang did not know whether he should exchange these materials from the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not that Su Liang is reluctant to part with those prestige points, but if he exchanges them from the system, it will inevitably expose Su Liang's secret. After pondering for a moment, Su Liang came up with a more reasonable method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no need to take them all out at once; wouldn't that work? Moreover, the materials needed for over one hundred thousand households are not enough to be fully exchanged with the current thirty million plus prestige points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... the more than one hundred thousand relocated households in Changancheng represent five or six hundred thousand people. After the multi-story buildings are completed, everyone will generate prestige points, and by then, Su Liang's prestige will certainly be even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but there are even bigger surprises waiting for Su Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the roads are all repaired, his prestige points will definitely continue to rise, as there will be people benefiting every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his current thirty million plus prestige points, it shouldn't be long before he can drive a car and live a wealthy life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first year of Zhenguan, the tenth day of the fourth month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good news came from Xue Rengui in Supi: the internal chaos in Supi has been completely quelled, the Tubo army has completely withdrawn from Supi territory, and now Supi has truly and completely submitted to the Great Tang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Great Tang, this can be called a tremendous piece of good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the Great Tang can station troops in Supi, not only making it easy to attack Tubo by heading south, but also easy to send troops to Tuyuhun by crossing the Kunlun Mountains to the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is just that this matter has put Su Liang in a difficult position. The internal trouble in Supi was resolved by the \"Wise Woman\" of the tribe, Senbo Yao, who brought in reinforcements from the Great Tang. Although it was the Great Tang that helped them, the people of Supi are very clear that it was all caused by the Prince of Chu of the Great Tang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the court officials of Supi all want to elect Senbo Yao as the next monarch of Supi, and the current monarch, Senbo Jie Da Jiawu, has the same intention. However, Senbo Yao does not want to be this queen; she wants to follow Xue Rengui back to the Great Tang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a pity that she is being blocked by the court officials, who all want Senbo Yao to preside over the overall situation. After all, the court officials of Supi value the relationship between Senbo Yao and Su Liang more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the interesting stories between the two, quite a few people in Supi know the inside story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this matter, Xue Rengui, who had already completed his mission, has been stranded in Supi for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rengui does not know what Su Liang's intentions are, and it is not easy for him to rashly bring Senbo Yao back to the Great Tang, so he has already sent someone to pass a letter to Su Liang to ask for his instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Su Liang was secretly troubled, Changle came looking for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, what is troubling you today?\" Changle asked understandingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Su Liang told her everything that was troubling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that her husband was pondering this, Changle laughed and said coquettishly: \"Husband, if that Yao'er is willing to come to the Great Tang, you should take the opportunity to take her in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now we are all willing but lack the strength; we cannot delay you, Husband.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh... that is a small matter, but Supi now needs someone to preside over the overall situation. If I really take Yao'er in, Supi will have no one more suitable,\" Su Liang explained helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the court officials of Supi only recognize Senbo Yao as the next monarch of Supi, and Su Liang also understands the logic behind it; after all, with that layer of relationship, they can be completely at ease after Supi submits to the Tang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, why worry so much? Have you forgotten that in less than two months, the road in Longxi Dao will be finished? By then, you only need to build a car, and you can reach Supi in one day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the time comes, you can just give her a car, and that will solve it; neither side will be delayed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell, Su Liang was suddenly enlightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Su Liang was limited by the system, always fantasizing about exchanging things from the system mall once his prestige points were enough, but he never thought about building them himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Su Liang was still a bit too lazy. If Su Liang did it himself, plus the help of the craftsmen, he could build a car in at most a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one car is built, the subsequent things will be much easier to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he is no longer the person he was a year ago; now Su Liang has such heaven-defying existences as the system mall and the encyclopedia search engine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Su Liang couldn't help but peck a few times on Changle's delicate little mouth, then praised: \"As expected of my virtuous wife, such a good idea was actually thought of by you, hahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changle was caught off guard by Su Liang's sneak attack and teasing, and her face turned red with shame. In her embarrassment, she lightly punched Su Liang's chest several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, it is broad daylight, and there are others in the courtyard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright... then we shall wait until later. I will write a letter now and have someone send it over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the couple finished their private conversation, Su Liang hurried off to attend to his own affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Su Liang finished his work and was preparing to rest, Er Hu ran in hurriedly, out of breath, and said: \"Young Master... Young Master, people from the Mohist school have arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mohist school... Mohist school...\" Su Liang muttered to himself, then a flash of light passed through his eyes, and he asked excitedly: \"Could it be the Mohist school of mechanism arts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The person who came said exactly that. Does the Young Master want to invite him in?\" Er Hu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? Is only one person coming?\" Su Liang immediately became suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, there is only one person. I will go and invite him over now,\" Er Hu said, and immediately ran outside Furong Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quarter of an hour later, Er Hu led a person in. After Su Liang examined him carefully, he felt that he was not much older than himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commoner Mo Yu pays his respects to the Prince of Chu,\" the visitor bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe... no need for formalities, there is no such rule in Furong Garden,\" Su Liang said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your name is Mo Yu?\" Su Liang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" Mo Yu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how many people are left in your Mohist school now?\" Su Liang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Su Liang couldn't help but set his sights on the Mohist school. Now that the Great Tang is building on a large scale, it needs talent everywhere. For Su Liang, high-end talent like the Mohist school is naturally the more the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In reply to the Prince of Chu, my lineage is the descendant of the founder of the Mohist school, Mo Di. Now only I am left. As for how many people are in the Mohist school that the Prince of Chu asks about, I really do not know,\" Mo Yu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell, Su Liang couldn't help but be surprised. The person who came today is actually a direct descendant of Mozi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mozi, whose original name was Mo Di, lived during an unknown period. It is rumored that he was from the State of Lu and lived in the State of Song for a long time. He was a famous thinker, educator, scientist, military strategist, and social activist during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. He established his own school, founded the Mohist doctrine, and put forward the ideas of \"Universal Love,\" \"Non-Aggression,\" \"Exalting the Worthy,\" \"Conformity with the Superior,\" \"Economy in Expenditure,\" \"Simplicity in Funerals,\" \"Condemnation of Music,\" \"Fatalism,\" \"Revering Heaven,\" and \"Serving Spirits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mozi was very skilled in craftsmanship, and his techniques in this area could be described as exquisite! He could be called learned and talented; his contribution to the history of China's development lies not only in Mohist thought but also in Mozi's scientific and technological development, all of which are changing history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the records of mechanism arts in \"Mozi,\" the weapons invented by the Mohist school include repeating crossbow carts, rotating shooting machines, and so on. \"Mozi made a wooden kite, which took three years to complete and failed in one day.\" In legend, he could instantly shave bamboo and use it to lift three hundred catties of stone, which also shows Mozi's intelligence. The Mohist school's contribution to the military is also extremely significant. Although the Mohist mechanisms are not as suspenseful as in games and movies, they are still amazing even after two thousand years. So much so that many of the things and weapons we use now are improved based on Mohist weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mozi: Gongsun\" also proves that Mozi was not only proficient in military affairs and had courageous and active thoughts but was also a great expert in using and manufacturing equipment. Mozi's scientific and technological practice was also for the sake of the \"righteous\" ideological concept, which is based on humanism and the \"unity of Dao and technique.\" It seems that Mozi was not only the founder of the Mohist school, but his other titles are also truly frightening, and his wisdom is also very shocking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mo Yu's voice fell, Su Liang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked at Mo Yu and asked: \"Since that is the case, what can you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Except for the long-lost wooden ox and flowing horse and the wooden kite, I can make all other Mohist mechanism arts,\" Mo Yu said to Su Liang with a sincere face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you came out of the mountains only after seeing the wooden ox and flowing horse I made appear in the world?\" Su Liang asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To tell the Prince of Chu, that is indeed the case. I had been living in seclusion in Qishan before, and it was only a few days ago that I learned that the wooden ox and flowing horse had appeared, so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, there is no need to say any more. Tell me, why did you come today?\" Su Liang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In reply to the Prince of Chu, in order to restore the glory of the Mohist school, I hope the Prince of Chu will give me a chance,\" Mo Yu pleaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not impossible, but you must first make the training puppet of the Mohist school,\" Su Liang said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liang is not a fool; he cannot just believe anyone who says they are from the Mohist school; he must produce corresponding evidence. The training puppet that Su Liang mentioned is exactly one of the five lost unique skills of the Mohist mechanism arts of later generations, and this is also a means to test Mo Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liang did not expect that there are still three major unique skills outside, but they were not passed down; otherwise, Su Liang would have known about them long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Su Liang already has the big killer weapon, the mortar, he does not need offensive and defensive weapons like repeating crossbow carts or rotating shooting machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only things he fancies are the Mohist wooden kite and the training puppet. As long as Mo Yu makes the training puppet, Su Liang will naturally believe his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He will then be able to safely hand over the design drawings of the wooden kite to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, at Mo Yu's request, Su Liang gave him the corresponding tools and materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Mo Yu became busy. Su Liang was already convinced; just from the materials Mo Yu requested, Su Liang already knew the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wanted to see Mo Yu's craftsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the evening, Mo Yu made the training puppet. After Su Liang tried it out, he couldn't help but marvel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Su Liang knew about the training puppet, he had never been willing to manufacture it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now seeing the training puppet made by Mo Yu, he couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients.\u003C\u002Fp>",2731,"2026-06-21T02:53:01.560Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","8c21e526be1c0b273eaa7758cfac8186d8c085547c2eb4bb46d1571022f3f5a0","great-tang-starting-off-by-vindicating-li-er-chapter-44","great-tang-starting-off-by-vindicating-li-er-chapter-42",63,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-tang-starting-off-by-vindicating-li-er-cover.jpg"]
