After the people of the Village Mo left, Modun shook his head and sighed, "The Village Mo is still too young to withstand the storm."
Uncle Fu sighed, "Two years ago, we were just ordinary craftsmen. Who would have thought that today would come?"
The management of the Village Mo used to be ordinary villagers. With the expansion of the Village Mo's industry, they had to manage so many people all of a sudden. It was natural for them to be in a flurry.
"If you don't know how to do it, just learn it. I've painstakingly prepared the night school. Are they just for show?" Meton snorted.
Uncle Fu also shook his head. He certainly knew the mentality of the Village Mo's disciples. Almost everyone would have the mentality of not making progress when they suddenly became rich.
Meton thought for a while and said, "Send someone to Chang 'an City to inquire about it. Hire several famous shopkeepers in Chang' an City at a high price to teach the villagers about business war! If they don't make progress and become idle people in the Village Mo's, they won't starve. "
Uncle Fu nodded and said, "Wait a moment, I'll do it. I hope they don't disappoint you."
Meton nodded. Now the Village Mo's was surrounded by countless people who coveted the secret skills of the Mo's. If one day the advantage of the Mo's Skill disappeared, how could the Village Mo's survive in such a cruel competition?
Therefore, Meton didn't help the Village Mo's directly. Instead, he took this opportunity to cultivate a large number of excellent talents from the Village Mo's. This was the way for the Village Mo's long-term survival. Otherwise, it would only be a flash in the pan.
Zi Yi listened for a long time and was not convinced, "Those who stole the secret skills of the Mo's are so abominable, and those ungrateful craftsmen. The Village Mo's treated them sincerely and offered them such a high salary, but they betrayed us. Young master, don't you care about them?"
Hearing this, Uncle Fu was also indignant. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with those craftsmen.
Meton shook his head indifferently, "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Similarly, the Mo's Skill of the Village Mo can't be kept secret forever. When I agreed to the recruitment, I knew that the secret of the Mo's Skill of the Mo's would be leaked."
Zi Yi's eyes widened. She looked at Merton in shock and said, "If that's the case, then why didn't you think of a way to stop it?"
Meton retorted, "Why should I stop them?"
This time, even Uncle Fu widened his eyes! He looked at Meton in confusion.
Zi Yi immediately became flustered and exasperated. "They are all thieves. They stole my Mo Clan's secret technique."
Meton sighed and said, "If I were just an ordinary merchant, I would naturally defend my secret recipe with my life. However, we are from the Mo Family. "
"What about the Mo Family? Are we just going to let them take away our secret techniques? "Zi Yi was unconvinced.
Hearing Zi Yi's words, Meton was silent for a long time. His face was gloomy as he said, "During the Pre-Qin Dynasty, among the Hundred Schools of Thought, Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism were the four most prominent schools of thought. Now, Confucianism is the only dominant school. Taoism has withered, and Mohism has fallen to its lowest point. I wanted to release some secret techniques of the Mo Family. I hoped that there would be people with lofty ideals in the world who would see the future of the Mo Family and revive the Mo Family. However, almost everyone was just enjoying the secret techniques of the Mo Family. No one had really studied Mohism, not to mention joining the Mo Family. "
Uncle Fu's face darkened when he heard this. The Mo Family had been in the world for two years. There were many people who gladly accepted the secret techniques of the Mo Family. However, those who truly joined the Mo Family could be counted on one hand. In the end, it was still the Village Mo's disciples who supported the Mo Family. Everyone had their eyes on the Village Mo and wanted to use the Mo Family's Skill. They had never thought of studying it themselves. Even Meton's bounty was better than nothing.
"So Young Master allowed them to steal the Mo Family's Skill!" Zi Yi frowned.
"He didn't let them steal, but controlled them bit by bit. He gave them one clue after another. Some were correct, and some were wrong. He let them experiment again and again until they finally succeeded. Perhaps they were feeling complacent and didn't know that this was the origin of the Mo Family. When they cracked the Mo Family's Skill with their own hands, they didn't know that they had already stepped onto the path of the Mo Family." Meton said confidently.
"No one will cherish what is given away. What is gained through hard work is the most precious. Those people thought that they had found the way to crack the Mo Family's Skill, but they didn't know that this was the technique to create the Mo Family's Skill." Uncle Fu suddenly realized.
"This is what it means to impart knowledge to fish, but not impart knowledge to fish." Zi Yi said softly. She didn't expect that the Young Master would teach a fish in such a sneaky way.
Meton said seriously, "In this way, the Mo Family's Skill can be developed quietly, and it won't attract the attention of the Confucians. Maybe the Confucians are gloating that the secret skills of the Mo Family are leaked out. But they don't know that this is the reason why the Mo Family's Skill can flourish everywhere in the Tang dynasty. These workshops are the foundation of the Mo Family's Skill in the future."
Although Meton was jumping around happily, he didn't violate the real interests of the Confucians at all. He wouldn't threaten the status of the Confucians. Only the Mo Family's Village was still tolerated by the Confucians. Besides, the Mo Family's Village was at the foot of the capital, so the Confucians couldn't use some dirty tricks.
If the Mo Family's Village flourished everywhere, it would definitely cause a fierce backlash from the Confucians, and the Mo Family's Village's Village would be destroyed.
"But in this way, the Mo Family's Village will suffer a lot. Two fists can't fight against four hands, let alone so many opponents. I'm afraid the Mo Family's Village will be attacked from both sides." Zi Yi said worriedly.
"Even if the secret skills of the Mo Family are cracked and leaked out, the other workshops will only be in an equal position with the Mo Family's Village. If the Mo Family's Village is defeated, it can only be because of the inferior skills. But if the Mo Family's Village can't survive, I won't sit by and do nothing. I'll continue to upgrade the secret skills of the Mo Family's Village. But next time, the Mo Family's Village will have less time!" Meton said seriously.
Uncle Fu knew that once the secret skills of the Mo Family's Village were upgraded, those who coveted the secret skills of the Mo Family would naturally follow them. Soon, the Mo Family's Village would be in the same predicament again. Therefore, the only one who could save the Mo Family's Village was the Mo Family's Village itself.
On the one hand, the Mo Family's Village couldn't fall. On the other hand, the cracked secret skills of the Mo Family should flourish everywhere in the Tang dynasty, which would strengthen the foundation of the Mo Family's Village imperceptibly. It was easy to imagine how difficult it was.
"Only the three of us know what happened today. Don't let others know, not even the villagers of the Mo Family." Uncle Fu turned his head and warned Zi Yi seriously.
Zi Yi nodded quickly. This was related to the future of the Mo Family, so she naturally knew the importance of it.
"But according to my estimation, the secret skills of the Mo Family can't be leaked so fast. It seems that there must be a master in the dark. This makes me very interested." Meton said with great interest.
"Don't worry, young master. People leave their names when they pass by. Although the Mo Family is weak, it's not difficult to find a person." Uncle Fu said proudly.
