"Extra, extra, there is no more iron in the Mo Family Village."
The whole Chang 'an City became quiet and everyone was staring at the Mo Family Village.
"Now there are only two ways in front of the Mo Family Village. One is to buy iron at a high price, and the other is to open the stainless steel secret technique in exchange for the iron contract." A businessman analyzed.
"That's not the case. In my opinion, the Mo family will definitely not give in. Otherwise, if there is a first time, there will be a second time. If the Mo family gives in this time, then in the future, won't those iron mine owners repeat the same trick and use the same method to continuously raise the price?" An old man analyzed.
"So what? Even if Mo Jiazi's lifeline is controlled, he can only give in." The businessman said sadly.
"Impossible, I believe that Mo Jiazi has a backup plan! It is impossible for him to be defeated by these tricks. " A teenager said proudly. Among the younger generation, Mo Jiazi was the absolute idol. He had never lost. They did not believe that Mo Jiazi would be defeated.
The crowd paused slightly. This time, Mo Jiazi's reaction was really strange. Facing the siege of a group of mine owners, he did not do anything. It was obviously unreasonable.
"Yes, Mo Jiazi must have a backup plan." The crowd nodded.
Not only the people in Chang 'an City believed that Mo Jiazi would not give in, but also the mine owners were waiting for Mo Jiazi's backup plan with a serious face.
However, no matter how many times they asked, they still did not hear anything from the Mo Family Village. When the crowd was getting disappointed, a man with a Sichuan accent came to the shop and asked, "Is this the shop of the Mo Family Village?"
A Mo Jiazi's brother hurried to welcome him and served him warmly, "Yes, sir. May I ask what you want to buy?"
The man with the Sichuan accent shook his head and said, "I am not buying anything. I am delivering something to the Mo Family Village."
Then the man took a heavy bag of goods from the car, put it in front of the Mo Family Village, and left without looking back.
"Sir, this is not appropriate …" Mo Jiazi's brother tried to stop him, but the man quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Brother Mo Jiazi couldn't help but feel strange, and hurriedly checked the goods in the bag.
"Iron!"
Mo Jiazi's younger brother stretched out his head to take a look. He was shocked to see that the bag was filled with iron materials that the Mo Family urgently needed. No wonder it was so heavy.
"That's strange. Giving things to the Mo Family Village for free!" Mo Jiazi's younger brother said in confusion.
However, the strange thing was not over yet. Within half a day, many people with Sichuan and Shu accents delivered iron materials to the Mo Family Village. And it was not only one shop, but almost all the shops in the Mo Family Village had the same thing. Soon, the Mo Family Village received a lot of iron materials.
"Master, there are merchants trading iron materials with the Mo Family Village!" Tie Xing and the others had already arranged people to keep an eye on the Mo Family Village. Naturally, they saw the merchants from Sichuan entering the Mo Family Village. Although they didn't know the details, they also found out that the goods they were trading were iron materials.
"How dare you send iron to the Mo Family Village!" The owner of the iron mine was furious when he heard the news. The Mo Family Village was at the end of the road, but someone dared to come out and ruin their business.
"Investigate it immediately. Once the iron trade betrays the alliance, the Zhangsun Mansion will not let them go." The housekeeper of the Zhangsun Mansion said coldly. He didn't believe that any merchants dared to go against the will of the Zhangsun Mansion.
"Housekeeper Zhangsun, they are not from the iron trade, but several traveling merchants from Sichuan and Shu."
Soon, the investigation came back. It turned out that the iron materials were sold to the Mo Family Village by traveling merchants from Sichuan and Shu.
"That's not right. Sichuan and Shu doesn't produce iron, and iron materials have never been out of Sichuan. How could they appear in Chang 'an City? Is this Mo Jiazi's backup plan?" The housekeeper of the Zhangsun Mansion was shocked.
First, iron ore is rare in Sichuan and Shu. What's more, the transportation is inconvenient. Iron materials are heavy and difficult to transport. The rare iron materials almost never go out of Sichuan. Now iron materials from Sichuan and Shu appear in Chang 'an City, which is extremely strange. "
"Mo Jiazi's backup plan!" Suddenly, everyone was shocked.
The mine owner of the Huainan Road Mine said with a wry smile, "This time it's not the iron trade from Sichuan and Shu. It's the people's traveling merchants who spontaneously deliver iron materials to the Mo Family Village. I think the price of iron materials in Guanzhong is high, and those poor horse-drivers want to make a small fortune, so they bring some iron materials from Sichuan and Shu to resell."
"I see!" Everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief. After all, the reputation of the Mo Family's son was too great, causing everyone to be like birds startled by the twang of a bow.
"I didn't expect that the high price of iron would attract those poor horse-drivers. Immediately send people to guard in front of the shops in the Mo Family Village. If there are any traveling merchants from Sichuan and Shu selling iron, immediately buy it at a higher price." The housekeeper of the Zhangsun Mansion snorted.
"Yes!" The mine owners answered.
In front of the Mo Family's shop.
A traveling merchant from Sichuan was dragging heavy iron materials and was about to send them to the shop. Suddenly, a man from the iron trade stopped him and said, "Brother, I heard that you have iron materials. Now the price of iron in Chang 'an is very high. We, the Huainan Iron Trade, are willing to buy it at a high price."
The traveling merchant from Sichuan shook his head and said, "I do have iron materials, but I will sell them to the Mo Family Village, not to others. I'm sorry."
"How much will the Mo Family Village offer? We, the Huainan Iron Trade, can buy it at a premium of 30%. " The man from the iron trade said confidently. In his opinion, these merchants from Sichuan and Shu came for money, so they would not refuse the high price offered by the iron trade.
The traveling merchant from Sichuan laughed loudly and said, "It's not about how much the Mo Family Village will offer, but these iron materials will be given to the Mo Family Village for free!"
"Free iron materials? How is that possible? "The man from the iron trade was shocked.
"Of course it's possible! In order to help us build the new Sichuan Road, Merton made the Mo Family Village fall into the crisis of iron shortage. This is a great kindness, and we always repay the kindness. So what if we give the Mo Family Village some iron materials? "The merchant from Sichuan said generously.
"I see." The people around suddenly realized that it was the spontaneous action of ordinary people to send iron materials to the Mo Family Village for free to thank Mo Jiazi for sparing no effort to help them build the new Sichuan Road.
"Mo Jiazi is a righteous man who builds the new Sichuan Road. And the people of Sichuan know how to repay the kindness. This will be a good story in the future. "For a moment, the actions of the people of Sichuan were praised.
The man from the iron trade said sarcastically, "How much iron can ordinary people have? Mo Jiazi needs more than ten thousand kilograms of iron materials every day. This amount of iron materials is just a drop in the bucket!"
What the man from the iron trade said was not a lie. The Mo Family Village used a large steelmaking furnace. Every time they made steel, they would use a lot of materials. Only large iron mines could supply the Mo Family Village. The little iron materials of ordinary people were not helpful at all.
Looking at the dozens of kilograms of iron materials in his hand, the merchant from Sichuan flushed and said, "Of course, my strength is limited. There are millions of people in Sichuan. At this moment, the Taurus Road, Ziwu Road, Boxie Road and other Sichuan roads are crowded together. Countless people of Sichuan are transporting iron materials to the Mo Family Village along the Sichuan Road to solve the crisis of the Mo Family Village."
"Ah!"
The onlookers of Chang 'an were in an uproar. No one had expected that the people of Sichuan would be so righteous that they would support the Mo Family Village with all the iron materials in Sichuan.
"A just cause enjoys much support, while an unjust cause enjoys little support. The ancient people did not deceive me. The construction of the new Sichuan Road is an irresistible trend. Mo Jiazi has done his best to help and got millions of people of Sichuan to help. But the people of the iron trade stopped the trend and went against the trend. In the end, they will taste the bitter fruit. "An old man sighed.
The old man's words immediately made the people of the iron trade blush. And the merchant from Sichuan proudly stepped into the shop of the Mo Family Village under the gaze of the onlookers.
"I'm sorry, people of Sichuan. The Mo Family Village appreciates your kindness. However, the Mo Family does not have the habit of taking advantage of others. How about this, the Mo Family Village will buy your iron materials at the iron price of the year before?" Li Yi, who heard the news, greeted the merchant from Sichuan and said loudly.
The merchant from Sichuan made several concessions. At last, under the insistence of Li Yi, they finally sold the iron materials to the Mo Family Village at a fair price.
Then, as the merchant from Sichuan said, almost all the merchants and cart drivers who came to Guanzhong along the Sichuan Road would carry iron materials and finally sell them to the Mo Family Village at a fair price.
Although a person carried less iron materials, it could not compete with the prosperous Sichuan Road. If one could overlook the new Sichuan Road, he would find that the whole Sichuan Road was densely packed with people transporting iron materials to the Mo Family Village.
"A just cause enjoys much support, while an unjust cause enjoys little support." For a time, the whole city of Chang 'an was spreading the story of the Mo Family Village and the people of Sichuan.
