The next morning, on the top floor of the Southern City.
Meton stood on the top floor of the city gate, looking at the four-wheeled carriages driving out of Chang 'an City. He was looking for something in the crowd.
"Young master! Just as you expected, Yang Ziqi left Chang 'an City immediately after he got the money. "Tie An pointed at a brand-new four-wheeled carriage and said.
According to the Mo Family's report, Yang Siqi immediately submitted his resignation letter to the Ministry of Works after receiving the thousand taels of silver. Yang Siqi's position in the Ministry of Works was extremely sensitive at the moment. After submitting his resignation letter, the Ministry of Works did not ask him to stay but approved it directly. After Yang Siqi resigned from the Ministry of Works, he immediately bought a four-wheeled carriage from the Mo Family Village and was about to leave Chang 'an City.
Meton sighed slightly. Although he guessed correctly that Yang Siqi was going to leave Chang 'an City, he still had mixed feelings when he saw this scene.
The Mo Family had declined to this point. When Yang Siqi appeared in Chang 'an City and challenged the Mo Family's Village, he was actually more happy than angry. The Mo Family had declined to this point. He had thought that the Mo Family's Village was fighting alone. The Mo Family's Village was the last stronghold of the Mo Family. However, another branch of the Mo Family suddenly appeared.
However, the world was unpredictable. This person was on the opposite side of the Mo family.
"If you came to the Mo family first, as the brother of Mo Jiazi, the Mo family would definitely support the Dengling branch." Meton sighed.
"This person has evil intentions. Even if the Mo family helped him, he would be a disaster in the future. The Mo family was ruined by this kind of villain." Tie An said angrily.
Meton nodded. What Tie An said made sense. The two branches had become strangers. Perhaps this ending was the best result.
"Has the puppet been sent to the Mo Family Village?" Morton asked as he watched the four-wheeled carriage disappear into the distance.
"It was sent yesterday. The whole village was shocked. Everyone stopped what they were doing and went to watch. They all said …" Tie An looked at Meton and suddenly stopped.
"What did they say?" Meton frowned and asked.
Tie An held back his laughter and said with a red face, "The masters said that this is the best deal you have ever made."
Meton was speechless.
Although Moton had spent a lot of money previously, it was worth it, but it had nothing to do with the Mo family's business. This time, Moton spent a thousand taels of silver to buy the puppet that represented the Dengling family's ink. That was the supreme ink technique of the Dengling family. It was a leap in technology for the Mo family village. It could be said to be one of the most cost-effective transactions.
"As long as they're happy!" Meton said helplessly.
Yang Siqi had already left, and the internal strife of the Mo Family had already been resolved. Just as Meton was about to descend from the city gate tower, he was suddenly attracted by the sound of an argument.
"I'm sorry, your carriage can't enter Chang 'an City." Under the Southern City Gate, a guard stopped a four-wheeled carriage outside Chang' an City.
"Why can't my four-wheeled carriage enter, but other people's four-wheeled carriages can?" The owner of the carriage, a man in yellow clothes in his thirties, said unhappily.
In the four-wheeled carriage, Meton's heart skipped a beat. He hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
The guard at the Southern City Gate saw Meton. He often saw Meton at the Southern City Gate, so he naturally knew Mo Jiazi's name. He hurriedly saluted and said, "Marquis Merton, this man's four-wheeled carriage uses steel wheels. It's too destructive. A few days ago, the Vermilion Bird Avenue underwent a major renovation. A lot of bricks were damaged by these steel wheels. The county magistrate has ordered that all iron-wheeled carriages are not allowed to enter Chang 'an City. "
Meton nodded. The steel wheels were too hard and worn out. Not to mention the dirt road, even the brick road could not withstand the wear and tear of the steel wheels.
"The county magistrate's decision is really wise!" Meton nodded and said. He did not expect Su Luosheng to be so knowledgeable as to make measures in advance.
Meton turned to the man in yellow clothes and said, "The Mo Family Village has already announced that all four-wheeled carriages bought in the Mo Family Village can be replaced with the new wheels free of charge. You only need to go to the Mo Skill Exhibition one mile south of the city to get the new wheels free of charge." Meton pointed to the south of the city and said.
The new wheels of the Mo Family Village were covered with a layer of wooden rings. In this way, the damage to the turning road would be minimized. What's more, when the wooden rings were broken, they could be replaced to make the wheels more durable. Naturally, such wheels were not prohibited in Chang 'an City.
The man in yellow clothes suddenly blushed. He stammered and his eyes drifted.
Seeing this, the guard at the Southern City Gate sneered and said, "Marquis Merton's kindness is in vain. I'm afraid this man did not buy the four-wheeled carriage of the Mo Family Village!"
The man in yellow clothes suddenly felt ashamed and said, "Marquis, please forgive me. I was blinded by greed and sold the four-wheeled carriage of the Gongshu Family."
At this moment, the man in yellow was very regretful. He was greedy at that time, but he did not expect that the carriage of the Gongshu Family was not as good as that of the Mo Family's village except for the appearance. What was more embarrassing was that he met Li Kui and bought a four-wheeled carriage imitating that of the Mo Family's village. He even met the son of the Mo Family.
Meton was also embarrassed. In order to increase the sales, the Gongshu Family directly copied the four-wheeled carriage of the Mo Family Village, and the appearance and workmanship were almost the same.
However, every carriage of the Mo Family Village had a unique number. Brother Mo Jiazi, who was familiar with it, could certainly distinguish it. But Meton, who did not do anything, could not tell the difference between his own carriage and the imitation one.
Meton did not know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if it's not the four-wheeled carriage of the Mo Family Village. The Mo Family Village is promoting the exchange of old carriages for new ones. When you arrive at the Mo Yizhan Village, you only need to pay a little money and you can exchange the wheels for the new ones of the Mo Family Village."
"Thank you, Marquis Merton!" The man in yellow clothes heard Qin Haodong's words and bowed repeatedly.
This carriage was the hope of his family. If he lost the business in Chang 'an City, his family would have to go to the northwest. Meton not only did not blame him for buying the imitation carriage, but also took the initiative to solve the problem for him. How could he not be ashamed of such a generous man?
The man in yellow clothes thanked Qin Haodong profusely and turned around, walking along the green brick road to the Mo Yizhan Village. Among the numerous carriages entering and leaving the city gate, there were also many carriages that quietly turned around and ran toward the Mo Yizhan Village. Obviously, they were also the carriages of the Gongshu Family.
"Marquis is kind and righteous. I admire you!" The gate guard said with admiration.
Meton said, "Although the four-wheeled carriage was not invented by the Mo Family, it became popular because of the Mo Family. The Mo Family pursues Love with Impartiality and Non-Aggression. How can we just sit by and watch this man in trouble?"
The exchange of old carriages for new ones was very common in the future. It was better to provide timely help than icing on the cake. For the Mo Family, changing the wheels was just a piece of cake. This move could win people's hearts and also advertise the Mo Family Village. How could Meton miss such an opportunity?
