The same thing happened in other cities. The village of Mo Jiazi fought back against the big workshops, not only the four-wheeled carriage, but also other products of the village of Mo Jiazi. All the brothers of Mo Jiazi went to different places and started to fight back immediately.
However, the workshops were powerful and rich. Sometimes, they even attacked the village of Mo Jiazi at a loss. Therefore, the village of Mo Jiazi was in a precarious situation.
The two sides were full of gunpowder. Both sides tried their best. The first large-scale commercial war in the history of the Tang dynasty officially broke out. At the beginning, the village of Mo Jiazi was defeated and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the village of Mo Jiazi had 50,000 strings of national debt. Both sides were in a dilemma. Although the big workshops had the upper hand, the village of Mo Jiazi had suspended the comprehensive budget and raised funds. They were also very tenacious. It was impossible to defeat them in a short time.
While everyone was paying attention to the Commercial Battle this time, the whereabouts of the Mo Family's son had become even more of a concern.
"What is Mo Jiazi doing? Nothing happened? "The man in the dark couldn't wait to ask.
"I heard that Mo Jiazi invited Princess Changle to visit the Hibiscus Garden today." A well-informed man said.
"At this time, Mo Jiazi is still in the mood to visit!" The people looked at each other.
The Hibiscus Garden was a royal garden of the Sui Dynasty. Since the establishment of the Tang dynasty, the Hibiscus Garden had been expanding and opening to the public. It became a popular place for the royal family, high officials, nobles, and civilians. The scenery was beautiful and tourists were everywhere. It was the only public park in Chang 'an City.
In the Hibiscus Garden, after two dynasties of expansion, the scenery was breathtaking. Modun now had a beauty by his side, so naturally, the scenery was beautiful. Her beauty was a feast for the eyes, and his mood was naturally very carefree and comfortable. He completely did not see the anxiousness of the crisis in the Mo Family Village, and properly looked like a prodigal son.
"Meton, do you think the village of Mo Jiazi can hold on?"
Meton was carefree, but Princess Changle was worried. When she saw the promotional slogans all over Chang 'an City, she couldn't help worrying. After the advertising strategy of the Village of Mo's Village worked, other workshops followed suit. Now the whole city knew the situation of the Village of Mo's Village.
And in the Furong Garden, most of the tourists were talking about the situation of the Mo's Village, so it was hard for Princess Changle not to know.
Hearing this, Meton smiled and said, "The people of the world will benefit from the war between the workshops and Village Mo. What reason do I have to stop them? I'm afraid even the imperial court can't do anything about it."
It had to be said that this commercial war had a wide impact. The prices of goods in Chang 'an had dropped by almost ten percent, and the trading volume had increased sharply. Some workshops had even lost money to gain the market of the Mo Family Village. However, it was the common people and even the imperial court that benefited from all this.
Moreover, the imperial court didn't even step in to deal with the situation this time. Obviously, they were happy to see this happen. This was also the reason why the workshops dared to besiege the Mo Family Village.
After hearing Meton's explanation, Princess Changle finally understood.
"But these workshops stole the secret skills of the Mo's Village. How could they repay kindness with ingratitude?" Princess Changle said indignantly.
Meton shook his head and said, "The market of the Tang dynasty is only so big. Once the workshops got the Ink Technique, they thought they had a cash cow and invested in the construction of other workshops. Now the production capacity is surplus, so it's only a matter of time before they compete with each other at a lower price! It's just that some people pushed them to do it when the Mo's Village is at its weakest! "
"You mean, you've already predicted this?" Princess Changle opened her eyes wide and looked at Meton incredulously.
Meton nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course. Your fiancé's ability to make money is recognized by the whole world. Except for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, no one can control the world's economy better than me."
Modun was not exaggerating. Not only did the Mo Periodical publish news throughout the world, it also collected information from all over the world for him. How many workshops were being built in the various regions of the Great Tang, and how large they were, were all listed on his desk. This was why he was so confident. Only fierce competition could make the Mo's Village grow rapidly and accelerate the upgrading of the Ink Technique. This was also what Meton was happy to see.
Princess Changle was already used to Meton's glib tongue. She couldn't help rolling her eyes at him and said, "Fiancé? Who told you to boast and offer such a high betrothal gift? I don't think it's possible with your salary. Let's see how you're going to smooth things over."
Since Meton was so confident, Princess Changle naturally believed him. She didn't worry about it anymore and began to tease Meton.
Hearing this, Meton couldn't help but have a headache. If he had known this, he wouldn't have been so arrogant and directly accepted Lu Dongzan's generous gift. Perhaps he wouldn't have been in such a predicament now.
Meton was quite resentful in his heart. Until now, the salary he received was extremely pitiful. He had fought for several months and made great contributions, but he didn't get a single penny. By now, Meton was basically sure that Li Shimin was definitely deliberately making things difficult for him. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
Moreover, the main purpose of besieging the Mo's Village this time was to cut off the Mo's Village's financial resources. Perhaps the purpose was to prevent Meton from breaking his promise and using the Mo's Village to raise betrothal gifts for Princess Changle. Because once Meton won the marriage of Princess Changle, he would have another layer of concern if he wanted to deal with the Mo's Village. Now was the best opportunity to deal with the Mo's Village.
"I have my own brilliant plan!" Meton laughed and covered up this topic. He concentrated on sightseeing the beautiful scenery of the Mo's Village.
"It turns out that Brother Mo is here!" Suddenly, a surprised voice interrupted Meton and Princess Changle's private world. Meton turned his head and saw the familiar figure of Chai Lingwu hurrying over.
"Cousin Lingwu!" Princess Changle said crisply. Chai Lingwu's mother was Princess Ping Yang. She and Li Shimin were biological siblings. Naturally, she was quite familiar with Chai Lingwu.
"It's Brother Li!" Meton cupped his hands and said.
"I'm going to invite my friends to a banquet at the Rosy Clouds Pavilion. I just saw Brother Mo and Sister Changle playing here. How about going to the banquet together?" Chai Lingwu invited.
Meton glanced at Princess Changle, shook his head and said, "Changle is a woman. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for her to attend the banquet. Let's do it another day!"
Chai Lingwu laughed and said, "That's not necessary. Not only my friends, but also many legitimate daughters of aristocratic families are here. Many of them are familiar with Changle."
"Legitimate daughters of aristocratic families!"
Meton was stunned. He didn't expect the upper class of the Tang dynasty to be so open-minded. In public places, it had become normal for men and women to gather in public.
In fact, this matter had a lot to do with Meton. Ever since Meton and Princess Changle fell in love freely, they directly promoted the reform of the marriage system of men and women in the Tang dynasty, resulting in many underage girls waiting to be betrothed. Coupled with the fact that the Tang dynasty was originally extremely open-minded, the situation today was the result.
Chai Lingwu said the names of a few girls. Sure enough, they were all familiar faces of Princess Changle.
Princess Changle nodded and said, "I haven't seen them for a long time. It's a good time to catch up!"
Seeing that Princess Changle agreed, Meton got up and followed her to the Rosy Clouds Pavilion!
Just now, he saw that a table of delicacies had been set up at the Rosy Clouds Pavilion. Many young masters of aristocratic families were already waiting in the pavilion. Sure enough, there were many beautiful young girls here.
"Princess Changle and Merton have arrived!"
With the announcement, all eyes were focused on the three of them. Meton's crew cut and Princess Changle's ponytail were especially conspicuous. There were even more gazes lingering on Meton and Princess Changle.
"Princess Changle!" Seeing that a group of young girls saw Princess Changle, they all gathered around her.
After greeting Modun, Princess Changle took the initiative to join the crowd of womenfolk. Immediately, she was surrounded like a moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. All of the womenfolk looked at Princess Changle's ponytail with envy as they swept their envious gazes towards Modun.
When Meton saw that Princess Changle was getting along well with the women, he followed Li Tai to the group of young masters.
"Brother Chai is really resourceful. I didn't expect that you could invite Merton here." Among the young masters, someone shouted. At this moment, Chai Lingwu led the Western Region Chamber of Commerce and was in the limelight. Standing in front of the group of young masters, he couldn't help but feel heroic. Only power and wealth could make a man drunk. At this moment, he really experienced the feeling of Meton holding a lot of money.
"I don't need to introduce my brothers from Chang 'an City. You naturally know them. These are the legitimate sons of Luoyang's aristocratic families. This is Zheng Chang, the second young master of Luoyang's Zheng Family, and Lu Shuang, the legitimate son of Lu Family …" Chai Lingwu's face was flushed and he said loudly.
"Brother Chai, Brother Zheng, Brother Lu!" Meton greeted them one by one. He didn't know them, but he didn't lose his manners for Li Tai's sake.
"Brother Mo, I've heard of your name for a long time. I heard that Village Mo is in a critical situation now. I thought I didn't have the chance to meet you this time. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really a blessing of three lifetimes!"
As soon as everyone sat down, Lu Shuang, the legitimate son of Luoyang's Lu Family, suddenly said. Everyone knew the situation in Village Mo, but no one mentioned it. Unexpectedly, Lu Shuang mentioned it at this time.
For a moment, there was an awkward silence. Many people looked at the two of them.
