The popularity of the Luminous Cup was due to a common phenomenon of the Han people — giving gifts!
As time went by, the commercial war between the workshops and the Mo's Village had been going on for nearly a month. As the weather turned colder, it was already the twelfth lunar month. As the saying goes, the twelfth lunar month is the New Year. At the end of the year, all kinds of gifts could be found everywhere. Perhaps there was nothing more suitable and pleasing than a luminous cup for the Spring Festival this year. Soon, the sales of the Luminous Cup increased greatly.
The weather in the eighth year of Zhenguan was unusually cold. The whole Chang 'an City suddenly froze. The north wind whistled, and large snowflakes fell quietly in the wind.
"It's snowing!"
A flurry of snow came down, and the ground was quickly covered in white. If this was in the past, Guanzhong would have been completely deserted. But with the existence of brick roads, this bit of snow was not much of an obstacle. On the brick roads, carriages moved endlessly, crushing the snowflakes on the road into water. But none of this could stop the advance of the Mo Family Village. Carriages of precious luminous cups were quickly transported to the various large cities, and then they were exchanged for carriages of money. But none of this could stop the advance of the Mo Family Village. Carriages of precious luminous cups were quickly transported to the various cities, and then they were exchanged for carriages of money. The financial situation of the Village of Mo improved rapidly.
"Bang!"
An expensive luminous goblet was smashed onto the ground.
"I didn't expect that a small glass secret skill could help the Village of Mo recover." Zheng Chang said unwillingly.
"Do you think the Village of Mo can make a comeback like this?" Lu Shuang said with a stern look.
Zheng Chang was stunned and looked at Lu Shuang in confusion. "Why do you still have a trick up your sleeve?"
Lu Shuang sneered and said, "Mo Jiazi made me so miserable. If I don't pay him back, how can I let it go?"
Zheng Chang looked at Lu Shuang worriedly and said, "Don't go too far. Mo Jiazi is not what he used to be. He is not an ordinary businessman. You can bully him at will!"
Lu Shuang said indifferently, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing! By the way, where is your sister? Why haven't I seen her recently? "
Zheng Chang felt guilty and said, "My sister went to the palace to visit Concubine Zheng. They have a good relationship at home. Now that she has come to Chang 'an City, she should keep in touch."
In fact, everyone in the Zheng Family knew the purpose of Miss Zheng's visit, but they kept it from Lu Shuang.
Lu Shuang did not suspect too much and sighed disappointedly.
"In my opinion, if my sister is not willing, why do you force her?" Zheng Chang tried to persuade her.
"I know, she likes Mo Jiazi!" Lu Shuang said without hesitation.
"Ah!" Zheng Chang couldn't help but exclaim. He looked at Lu Shuang in disbelief.
"She knows all of the Mo Family's poems. She also sees the Mo Family as the person who saved her marriage. The world loves the Mo Family. How can she be an exception?" Lu Shuang said without hesitation.
..... Mo Jiazi is already engaged to Princess Changle. "Zheng Chang said in disbelief. If that was the case, why did his sister agree to participate in the selection?
"I know it's impossible, but I can't take it lying down. I want to prove to her that Mo Jiazi is just so-so. He will be defeated by me." Lu Shuang said fiercely.
Only now did Zheng Chang know why Lu Shuang hated Mo Jiazi so much. It was not because Meton broke the engagement between him and his sister, but because he stole his sister's heart.
…
"Shopkeeper Xu! Bad news, Accountant Liu is missing! "In the Mo Residence, one of Mo Jiazi's brothers came to report in the snow.
Xu Jie was shocked. Accountant Liu was his right-hand man. He sent him to collect payment from the Mo Family Village. Now he was missing.
"Where's the payment?" Xu Jie asked.
"The other party said that they have paid the full amount to Accountant Liu. There's also Accountant Liu's receipt. Furthermore, Accountant Liu's whole family is missing." Mo Jiazi's brother said helplessly.
Xu Jie's heart sank. If they couldn't find Accountant Liu, it would become a case without any clues.
"Shopkeeper Xu, bad news. The luminous cups that were being transported to Luoyang have met with an accident." Li Xin reported with a gloomy face. The transport vehicle lost control and fell into a ditch to avoid the frightened carriage. It was a heavy loss.
"What a coincidence!" Xu Jie gritted his teeth.
Following that, bad news came one after another. All the suppliers were demanding payment. Five of Xie Qianchou's distributors in the Tang dynasty chose to terminate the contract at the same time. They asked for a refund of 25,000 strings of cash!
"25,000 strings of cash! The payment from all the suppliers! The wages of the employees! The taxes for this quarter! " Xu Jie calculated carefully and couldn't help but gasp. The Mo Family Village had a hole of at least 150,000 strings of cash!
"150,000 strings of cash!"
When Xu Jie reported all the numbers to Meton, Meton also gasped. He didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless. They used all kinds of methods to cause the Mo Family Village to be in such a huge deficit.
"How can there be so much money?" Uncle Fu couldn't believe it.
"Actually, there are still some payments in other places. But the roads are blocked by the heavy snow. Even the distant water can't quench the immediate thirst!" Xu Jie looked at the heavy snow and said helplessly.
"Then when do we have to pay back the money?" Meton asked seriously.
"Before the Chinese New Year!" Xu Jie said helplessly.
Meton nodded and said sternly. "That means we still have about a month to raise the money. Tell those who are demanding payment that the Mo Family Village will strictly follow the contract. We promise to pay all the money before the Chinese New Year! If they dare to make trouble, they will become the enemy of the Mo Family Village. "
He originally wanted to train the team of the Mo Family Village as a test. But now that the other party had used dirty tricks, he had no choice but to do it himself.
"Yes!" Xu Jie was relieved when he saw that Meton was in charge.
"First, let One-Armed Uncle Wang lead a team to collect as much money as possible." Meton ordered.
Uncle Fu nodded solemnly. Now that the other party was using dirty tricks, it was safer for One-Armed Uncle Wang to lead the team.
"Second, increase the number of Luminous Cups. Double the number of people to ensure the safety of the Luminous Cups." Meton said solemnly. The Luminous Cups were the biggest source of income for the Mo Family Village. Naturally, the Mo Family Village couldn't give it up easily.
"Third, the Mo Family Village can't be in chaos. All the workshops should work normally and ensure the delivery of goods. The Chinese New Year is the peak season for purchasing goods. This is also a good source of income."
"Lastly, keep a close eye on the two young masters of Luoyang, Lu and Zheng. Report back immediately if there is any news." Meton said sternly. They probably had something to do with the current situation of the Mo Family Village.
Seeing that Uncle Fu and the rest had left, Meton stood up and looked at the heavy snow outside the window. Snowflakes were falling like goose feathers. He couldn't help but murmur, "Winter is here!"
