"The guardian of the country does not belong to him! This should be traced back to the grudge between Mo Zi and our ancestor. "
In Chang 'an City, Gongshu Hong looked up to the sky and sighed. The disciples of the Gongshu family were listening carefully. In these years, the Gongshu family had also developed rapidly and was full of talents.
"Back then, during the war between Song and Chu, our ancestor Gongshu Ban helped Chu to make siege weapons, while Mo Zi helped Song to make siege weapons. Then, Mo Zi went to Chu and practiced with our ancestor Gongshu Ban in the imperial court. Our ancestor lost, and in the end, Chu decided to give up attacking Song."
"In that case, Mo Zi is the savior of Song!" Gongshu Hao sighed.
Gongshu Hong nodded and said, "That is true. However, this matter is disappointing. When Mo Zi returned from Chu and passed by Song, it was raining heavily. He came to an alley to take shelter from the rain. However, the guard refused to let Mo Zi enter the alley to take shelter from the rain. Mo Zi had made such a great contribution to Song, but he was not even given a place to shelter from the wind and rain. How ironic is this treatment?"
The disciples of the Gongshu family could not help but be silent. Although the Gongshu family did not get along with the Mo family, they still respected Mo Zi. Seeing Mo Zi being treated like this, they could not help but sigh.
"However, after a thousand years, the story of the gatekeeper not being there is repeated once again. Three years ago, Master Mo proposed the development of Jiangnan and provided seeds, Mohist skills, and cured schistosomiasis for Jiangnan. It can be said that Master Mo made great contributions to the rise of Jiangnan. However, now he was driven out of Jiangnan. Isn't this the same as being rejected once again? Even the last shelter is gone. This is very similar to Master Mo's experience." Gongshu Hong could not help but sigh.
"Mo Jiazi!" The disciples of the Gongshu family both loved and hated Mo Jiazi. On one hand, Mo Jiazi's talent and strategic vision convinced the Gongshu family. On the other hand, because of Mo Jiazi, the Gongshu family had always been superior to the Gongshu family.
"One is Mo Jiazi, the other is Mo Jiazi a thousand years later. Their experiences coincide like this. It's the will of Heaven." Gongshu Hao sighed.
"In that case, the Mo's Village is in a predicament of being attacked from both sides again!" Gongshu Lun said with great joy.
Gongshu Hong shook his head and said, "No, the Mo family's situation will be worse. Now that the Mo family has lost Jiangnan, the Central Plains are covetous...... and the Mo family had the Western region, but now the western region is unstable. Gao Chang is unruly, who cut off the Silk Road of the Tang dynasty, and Maowu Desert.... and the Mo's....... and now.....
After Gongshu Hong finished speaking, he suddenly felt sad. The Mo Family and the Gongshu Family both belonged to the Hundred Clans, and the Mo Family was even slightly better than the Gongshu Family. They even had the Mo Family's son, who was a peerless genius. Now, even the Mo Family's son and the Mo Family's village couldn't escape from the schemes of the aristocratic families, so where would the Gongshu Family go?
In the Mo family.
"Brother Mo, I'm sorry. This time, the Chai family can't do anything. It's not that I want to add insult to injury, but Gao Chang is too arrogant. He thinks he is a big country in the Western region. Under the instigation of Tubo and the Western Turks, he ignored the agreement and secretly collected high taxes from the Hu and Tang merchants. Now Gao Chang and the Tang dynasty have become enemies. Even the envoys sent by the imperial court have been withdrawn from Gao Chang." Chai Lingwu apologized and explained.
Meton waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Three years ago, Brother Chai helped me, which made me very grateful. This is Gao Chang's fault. It's beyond my control. How can I not know what's good for me?"
"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Mo! After we settle Gao Chang next year, I will cooperate with Brother Mo again. "Chai Lingwu let out a sigh of relief and cupped his fist.
In the past three years, he had made a fortune from the goods of the Mo family's village. Especially the effect of the Green Dragon True Medicine, which allowed the Chai family's caravan to run amok in the Western region. They had gained a lot of benefits. Naturally, he didn't want to become enemies with Meton.
Moreover, he didn't think that Gao Chang would dare to continue provoking the Tang dynasty. Many generals in the imperial court were flustered and exasperated. They were all shouting that they wanted to send troops to eliminate Gao Chang. The Chai family was even more encouraging to send troops. If Gao Chang still didn't know what was good for him, he might not be able to avoid a disaster.
"Goodbye, Brother Mo!" Chai Lingwu nodded and got up to leave.
"I'll send you off, Brother Chai!" Meton got up and sent him off.
"Be careful, Brother Mo. There's something fishy going on in Jiangnan. It's said that the Five Families and Seven Hopes have reached an agreement with the Jiangnan family to deal with the Mo family together." Chai Lingwu suddenly whispered as Meton sent him off.
Meton paused and cupped his fist at Chai Lingwu to express his gratitude. Only then did he turn around and leave.
"The Five Families and Seven Hopes, the Jiangnan family!"
In the study, Meton sighed in his heart. He originally thought that the Jiangnan family would wait until the development of Jiangnan was successful before abandoning the Mo family's village. However, he didn't expect the Jiangnan family to be so short-sighted. In just three years, the development of Jiangnan had begun to show results. The Jiangnan family couldn't hold back their greed and wanted to monopolize the benefits of Jiangnan.
"The aristocratic families are indeed the cancer of the world. They are greedy, ignorant, and short-sighted. They are an obstacle to the progress of society." Moton took a deep breath. This time, he had seen the true colors of the aristocratic families.
"Mei Niang!" Meton waved his hand and Wu Meiniang, who had been waiting at the side, immediately came forward.
"Master, what can I do for you?" Wu Meiniang raised her eyebrows and said.
"Immediately send an order to Brother Mo Jiazi in Jiangnan. Withdraw from Jiangnan in the shortest time and sell the properties in Jiangnan." Meton said resolutely.
"Ah!" Wu Meiniang couldn't help but be shocked. She looked at her master in disbelief. In this way, the Mo family's village could be said to have suffered a great loss.
"Master, are you going to give up so easily and bow to the aristocratic families?" Wu Meiniang was puzzled. This was not Meton's usual style.
Meton shook his head and said, "The most important thing for the Mo family is its reputation. The people in Jiangnan think that the Mo family has occupied too much of the benefits and are dissatisfied. If the Mo family forcibly stays, it will only ruin the Mo family's reputation. Once the Mo family withdraws, the aristocratic families will certainly expand and let the people in Jiangnan see the greed of the aristocratic families. At that time, the people in Jiangnan will remember how benevolent and righteous the Mo family is. At that time, the Mo family will return to Jiangnan."
"But you don't have to sell all the properties of the Mo family!" Wu Meiniang said with a little heartache.
Meton shook his head and said, "Once Brother Mo Jiazi withdraws from Jiangnan, these properties will be useless. However, it is impossible for the aristocratic families in Jiangnan to take over the benefits of the Mo family's village. This time, the Mo family will sell all the properties that can be divided. Even if we have to lose money, we must support a large number of Jiangnan's concubines."
Meton snorted in his heart. Although the Mo family's village withdraws from Jiangnan, it didn't mean that they couldn't create trouble for the aristocratic families in Jiangnan. They could cultivate a large number of Jiangnan's concubine landlords. With the rise of these landlords, they would certainly threaten the interests of the aristocratic families in Jiangnan.
"Yes! Master! " Wu Meiniang said seriously. She knew that this time her master was really angry. Even if he had to lose money, he still had to give the aristocratic families in Jiangnan a hard time.
