"Mo family … Marquis Merton, please wait!"
Meton had just walked out of the gate of the Gongshu family when he heard a clear voice calling him from behind.
"A young man from the Gongshu family?" Meton took a closer look and saw that it was the young man who served tea at the Gongshu family. Meton also remembered him.
"I am Gongshu Hao! Nice to meet you, Marquis Merton! "Gongshu Hao bowed cautiously.
Meton waved his hand and said, "You and I are the same age, and we are both disciples of the Hundred Schools of Thought. You and I can call each other martial brothers."
Gongshu Hao was so excited that his face turned red. "Senior Brother Mo!"
"Junior Brother Gongshu, why did you call me?" Meton asked.
Gongshu Hao hesitated for a while, then shyly took out a black object from behind him and said, "Senior Brother, you are a master of mechanisms, and I admire you a lot. I have something here that I hope you can teach me."
"A lock?" Meton took a look and said in surprise.
The lock that Gongshu Hao handed over was very different from the locks of this era, and it was very similar to the locks of the future. Meton couldn't help but be interested.
"Senior Brother, you really have sharp eyes. I think the locks of the Tang dynasty are really … too ugly! So I improved it a little, but my senior brothers all laughed at me for being whimsical, "Gongshu Hao said in distress.
Meton looked at the lock in his hand and nodded. "Your senior brother is right. You are indeed whimsical."
Gongshu Hao's hopeful eyes suddenly dimmed, and he looked dejected.
"However, it is because of whimsy that humans can make progress. Humans are exposed to the wind and the sun, and whimsically, they built houses. After having a house, in order to ensure the safety of his property, he had a whimsical idea and invented locks. Your locks are indeed beautiful, but you neglected the most important function of locks. "Moton changed the topic.
"The most important function?" Gongshu Hao thought for a while, then suddenly understood. "Safety! The most important function of a lock is safety. "
Meton nodded solemnly.
"The first task of a lock is to lock the door. The locks on the market of the Tang dynasty are not a problem for ordinary people, but even ordinary thieves can't stop them. If you can make a more sophisticated lock, even thieves can't do anything to it, and it will be very popular. "
"A more sophisticated lock!" Gongshu Hao suddenly thought.
Meton said, "What kind of lock is the safest? If we put a lock on the door, it can't, no matter how sophisticated it is, it can break it. If we dig a groove in the door, we can hide the lock. it's not only is it beautiful, it also safe.
What? a lock lock lock was Merton was Merton had had was Mehad was was Merton was Merton was Was? was Mermermermermeric.
Morton continued, "Other than security, there's also the convenience of a lock. When I get home at night, I always lock the door with a bolt to ensure safety. Wouldn't it be better to add a safety feature to the lock?"
Gongshu Hao quickly took out a pencil and wrote down all of Meton's ideas.
"There are different uses for locks. Some are used to lock doors, and some are used to lock items. In my opinion, the price of a four-wheeled carriage is not low. Every one of them is a treasure. If you can make a lock to lock a four-wheeled carriage, it will be very popular." Meton explained all kinds of locks in the future to Gongshu Hao.
Gongshu Hao was shocked, and his face was full of admiration. After a long time, he left with satisfaction.
"Boss, do you know how to appreciate talent?" Xu Jie's voice came from behind.
Meton nodded and said, "A very good seedling."
"It is his honor to be able to receive Boss's guidance." Xu Jie looked at the young man's back enviously. He knew how precious Meton's guidance was.
"Let's go to the West Gate!"
Meeting Gongshu Hao was just a small interlude. Meton didn't take it to heart. He stepped onto the prepared carriage.
Xu Jie followed closely behind, and Tie An consciously sat in the driver's seat, acting as the coachman.
"Jia!"
With Tie An's shout, the carriage slowly moved.
"Young Master, did Gongshu Family agree to Mo Family's conditions?" Xu Jie asked after getting on the carriage.
Modun said confidently, "If they don't accept the Mo family's order, the Gongshu family will have no choice but to ask the Wang family and the Zhangsun family for help. These two families are ruthless and will definitely want to take over the Gongshu family. Since the Gongshu family has no way out, they will naturally agree."
Xu Jie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "If that's the case, since the Gongshu family accepted the Mo family's order, they will need a large number of people to complete it. Their family's four-wheeled carriage business will definitely stagnate."
Xu Jie didn't expect Gongshu Hong to be so decisive. He directly gave up the four-wheeled carriage business of Gongshu Family and embarked on the path of a component manufacturer.
"In this way, Gongshu Family won't be a threat to Mo Family in a short time. Their alliance with Wang Family and Zhangsun Family will naturally collapse." Meton smiled and said.
Befriend the distant and attack the nearby. Although Meton wasn't proficient in the art of domination, he still understood this principle. Among the three families, Gongshu Family was the biggest shortcoming.
"But young master, are you really going to subcontract out the four-wheeled carriage business?" Xu Jie said painfully. In this way, the profits of the four-wheeled carriage business of Mo Family's village would definitely be shared out.
Meton shook his head and said, "Not only the carriage business, but also the other non-core businesses of Mo Family's village. Division of labor and cooperation is the trend. As long as we have the core technology, Mo Family's village will be invincible."
Those who don't consider the whole situation will not be able to conquer a region, and those who don't plan for the whole world will not be able to conquer a moment. The four-wheeled carriage business is so huge. If Mo Family's village monopolizes everything, how many carriages can it produce by itself? "
"Young master, you are so wise!" Xu Jie immediately said with admiration.
While he was still calculating the small profits, Meton had already started to make plans for the whole country.
The carriage went all the way west and soon arrived at the West City Gate.
Outside the West City Gate, the wind was howling and the temperature dropped sharply. As soon as Meton got off the carriage, he immediately shivered.
"It's going to snow!" Meton felt the bone-chilling wind blowing in his face.
"Young master, it's windy outside. Why don't we go back?" Xu Jie couldn't help but persuade.
Meton exhaled a white breath, which was quickly blown away by the wind. He shook his head and said, "According to the message from brother Mo Jiazi, they should be here today."
At this moment, a huge snowflake suddenly fell from the sky, turning the sky into a vast expanse of white.
Amidst the snowflakes, a carriage with the Mo Family's insignia finally arrived at the West City Gate.
Mo Si jumped down from the carriage and saw Meton standing in the wind. He immediately got off the carriage and knelt on the ground emotionally.
"Young master! We did not let you down and delivered the cotton seeds safely. "
Meton opened the carriage and saw the carriage full of familiar cotton seeds. His heart was filled with joy.
After the Tuyuhun rebellion, all the trade routes were cut off. To prevent any accidents from happening, Meton directly sent Mo Si to Longyou to peel the cotton seeds and deliver them over.
Finally, during the coldest time, they delivered the warm fire seeds.
