Although Meton proposed a way to solve the crisis of the Mo's Village, Princess Changle thought it was extremely unreliable and unimaginable.
Therefore, Princess Changle decided to continue the practice of frugality in the Mo's Mansion. In the Mo's Mansion, she set an example and reduced the expenses of the Mo's Mansion.
Under the lead of Princess Changle, Mo Jiazi's brothers followed suit. The practice of frugality soon directly affected the whole Mo's Village.
"Clothes are not luxurious, as long as they fit."
"Food is not exquisite, as long as they are nutritious."
"Frugality is not about being stingy or stingy, but about avoiding extravagance and extravagance. Every penny should be well spent."
The headline of the Mo's Magazine solemnly promoted the frugality of the Mo's Family to the world, which made many people nod their heads in agreement. In this era where material was not abundant, whether it was a big family or a small family, frugality was what everyone should abide by.
"Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is laborious?"
At the same time, Meton's poem of compassion for farmers was widely publicized again. The Mo's Gourmet City and Fish Scholar's Restaurant took the opportunity to carry out the CD Drive. If all the food on the table was eaten up, it would be a gift for enjoying the Mo's Hot Snacks.
It had to be said that the CD Drive was very consistent with the Mo's Frugality. Eating up all the food on the plate was more practical than the slogan of the Frugality.
The Tang Dynasty was open, and the people were also very bold and unrestrained. In recent years, under the promotion of the Mo's skill, the economy of the Tang Dynasty was booming. The people were getting richer day by day, and the trend of extravagance gradually prevailed. Every time a guest ordered a full table of food, more than half of the food was left. It was extremely wasteful.
After the CD Drive was withdrawn, it was not only not a waste of food, but also allowed the diners to order according to their needs. Once it was launched, it was highly praised. Even the most stubborn old scholar could not help but praise the slogan. It was rare for him to stand on the side of Mo Jiazi.
In addition, Fish Scholar's Restaurant could be said to be the wind vane of the catering industry in Chang 'an City. It took the lead in launching the CD Drive, which was widely praised. Soon, the CD Drive became a beautiful scenery in Chang' an City.
"Everyone, it's not that I, Zhao, am stingy today. Let's eat as much as we can. Even if we finish all the food on our plates, it won't be a waste." In a prosperous restaurant, a merchant surnamed Zhao said proudly.
If it was before, he would definitely be ridiculed for being stingy and stingy. However, under the call of the entire city's Light Plate Operation, the atmosphere was in a good mood, and it was extremely reasonable to order fewer dishes.
"One dish per person. Not only can we fill our stomachs, but we also don't waste food."
"Great!"
His companions echoed in agreement.
Such a scene could be found everywhere in the restaurant. Many customers who had already stood up to pay the bill had already finished most of the food on their plates.
To put it bluntly, the idea of frugality was much more acceptable than the frugality of the Confucians. A person's appetite was limited, and they could eat as much as they wanted, regardless of the value of the ingredients.
On the other hand, the frugality of the Confucians was a bit extreme. Any food that was slightly more exquisite would be criticized and criticized. This was also one of the reasons why the Disced-Disk Movement was so popular.
"The Disced-Disk Movement is rather interesting."
In a restaurant, Li Shimin looked at the slogan on the wall and couldn't help but smile. When he looked at the four dishes and one soup in front of him, he couldn't help but frown. This was the limit of his frugality.
"Master has been wronged!" Pande bitterly said. His Majesty had no need to be thrifty in this aspect. When they were traveling incognito, Pande would always refer to Li Shimin as' Master '.
Li Shimin laughed and waved his hand. "What's wrong with this? When this master was fighting in the north and south, he could only eat rations for ten days. "
"You sit down as well! In any case, I won't be able to finish it. If outsiders saw this, who knows what they would say about me? "Li Shimin gestured for Pande to sit.
"Many thanks, Master!" Pande was moved. He sat down and took a portion from each plate. Not only did he eat, he also tested Li Shimin for poison.
Li Shimin saw this and shook his head with a smile. He did not force the issue and focused on enjoying the food.
After three rounds of wine, the merchant surnamed Zhao mysteriously asked, "Do you know who the founder of this Disced-Disk Movement was?"
"Oh, isn't this the frugality of the Mo Clan? Naturally, it's Mo Jiazi!" His companion affirmed. After all, there were simply too many anecdotes from Mo Jiazi's mouth. This small matter was nothing!
The merchant surnamed Zhao smiled and shook his head. "You don't know! Although the Disced-Disk Movement originated from the Mo Clan, it was advocated by the mistress of the Mo Clan. "
"The mistress of the Mo Clan?"
"Princess Changle?"
Everyone couldn't help but cry out in surprise. This was the first time they had heard of such news.
Their conversation immediately attracted Li Shimin's attention. He did not expect the Disced-Disk Movement to be proposed by his own daughter.
The merchant surnamed Zhao nodded. "It's a long story. You are the recent crisis of the Mo Clan."
"Who doesn't know? The Mo Clan sent 300,000 strings of cash to the Imperial Treasury and paid 20,000 strings of cash for the fake banknote case. Everyone knows that Mo Jiazi is in need of money. Besides, Mo Jiazi's negotiations with the Ziqian Clan fell apart. The Mo Clan probably doesn't have much cash on hand! Who would have thought that the Midas Mo Jiazi would be in need of money one day? "one of his companions said. This was the hottest news in Chang 'an recently. It was a topic that everyone knew about.
The merchant surnamed Zhao nodded. "Anyone who took out 320,000 strings of cash would probably be in need of money. In addition, other merchants are taking advantage of the situation. They don't accept banknotes but only cash. Mo Jiazi's life is not easy."
Everyone nodded.
"Just when the Mo Clan was in trouble, Princess Changle stepped forward and led by example to advocate the concept of frugality. The entire Mo Clan followed suit. That's why the Disced-Disk Movement came about."
"So that's how it is. Princess Changle is truly a model example of a virtuous wife and loving mother. The son of the Mo Clan has truly run into dogshit luck." Everyone sighed in admiration of Princess Changle's virtue.
"Miss Changle is so virtuous. It's all thanks to Old Master's teachings." Pande complimented.
When Li Shimin heard the crowd praising his daughter, a trace of pride involuntarily appeared on his face. Following which, his expression turned cold as he said, "Did I give my precious daughter to Modun to suffer with him?"
When Li Shimin heard that his daughter's expenses were reduced, he immediately began to have double standards.
"Merton is just in trouble now. After overcoming the difficulties, he will definitely treat the Princess well." Pande chimed in.
"After overcoming the difficulties, 100,000 strings of cash is not a small amount. Meton has the ability to make money out of nothing. Doesn't he know how many people are eyeing the Mo Clan? Why is he still so reckless?" Li Shimin gnashed his teeth.
The Mo Clan had just risen and its foundation was not stable. The secret skill of the Mo Clan was a big fat piece of meat in everyone's eyes. In addition, it had a historical relationship with the Confucian School. It could be said that the Mo Clan was surrounded by a pack of wolves and tens of thousands of people were scheming against them.
If the Qian Family directly made the Mo Clan lose 20,000 strings of cash, would it hurt the Mo Clan? Obviously, it was impossible. The real fatal threat was that the merchants knew that the Mo Clan was short of cash, but they refused to accept banknotes. They only wanted cash and attacked the Mo Clan directly.
"Now, none of the rich families and aristocratic families in Chang 'an City will help the Mo's Village raise money. This time, the Mo's can't get through this even if they shed a layer of skin." Li Shimin sneered. He was superior and saw it clearly. This time, it could be said that the rich families in Chang 'an City and Luoyang City worked together to solve the Mo Clan's crisis. The Qian Family was just the main force. With such a big power involved, he was waiting for Mo Jiazi to ask him for help. Unfortunately, this guy was so stubborn that he ignored him.
"This time, Mo Jiazi has only one choice. He can either withdraw 300,000 strings of cash from the Imperial Palace and destroy the bank credit, or sell the winery and the secret glass skills in the Mo Clan's Village. He can only keep one of them. Let's see what the Mo Clan's son chooses. "In the restaurant, the merchant surnamed Zhao's saliva flew everywhere as he analyzed in high spirits.
"Will Mo Jiazi really abandon the rook to save the king?" People were guessing. One was the bank that Mo Jiazi would save at the cost of 300,000 strings of cash, and the other was the most profitable secret glass skills and winery of the Mo Clan. No matter which choice he made, the Mo Clan would suffer a great loss.
"Maybe both of the Mo Family's sons can be saved?" In fact, people always had another choice in mind. However, when they saw the huge amount of 100,000 strings of cash, they couldn't help shaking their heads. Even if Mo Jiazi had created miracles again and again, this time, people were not optimistic about Meton.
Li Shimin also shook his head helplessly. This time, the rich families cooperated tacitly and didn't use any tricks. Even he couldn't interfere, let alone force them to accept the money.
"Mo Jiazi has made a move. This time, he will definitely get through the crisis."
Suddenly, a noise came from outside the restaurant, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Li Shimin couldn't help looking at it.
"What move did Mo Jiazi make?" Merchant Zhao hurriedly asked. At the same time, he handed a cup of wine to the idler who had just exclaimed.
"Borrowing money!" The idler took the wine and drank it in one gulp.
"Borrowing money? Could it be that those greedy Ziqian Clan agreed to a 6% interest rate? " Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar. If the Ziqian Clan agreed, this would be the lowest interest rate in history.
The idler shook his head and said, "How is that possible? How could those Ziqian Clans be willing to break the thousand-year-old rule and destroy their own business? "
"So, Mo Jiazi agreed to the Ziqian Clan's usury?" Merchant Zhao exclaimed. When he said this, even Li Shimin couldn't help but hold his breath.
Under everyone's gaze, the idler sneered and shook his head, "Of course not. Mo Jiazi isn't stupid. How could he fall into the trap of those Ziqian Clans?"
Li Shimin quietly breathed a sigh of relief and put down the stone in his heart.
"Then who in Chang 'an City can lend him money? To put it bluntly, all the wealthy families in Chang' an City are waiting for Mo Jiazi to sell the winery and the secret glass technique of the Mo Village!" Merchant Zhao frowned and said.
The idler looked around and smiled mysteriously, "Far away on the horizon, but close at hand."
Pande was suddenly shocked. Could it be that His Majesty had been exposed? Only His Majesty could save Meton. How terrible would it be if an idler knew His Majesty's whereabouts?
However, Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but think. He gently patted Pande and motioned him not to act rashly.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other and didn't understand what the idler meant.
Merchant Zhao hesitated and said, "You mean me!"
The idler said proudly, "To be precise, it's us. Everyone can lend money to Mo Jiazi."
"This …" Everyone only felt that their brains were not enough to understand.
"Please say it clearly!" Li Shimin stood up and held a glass of wine and motioned Pande to hand it over.
The idler took it and drank it up. His eyes lit up and he said, "This wine is good!"
"Say it, say it!" Everyone kept urging him.
The idler didn't keep them guessing and said directly, "The bank of the Mo Village has issued an announcement that it has started to collect money from the Mo Village in Chang 'an, Luoyang, and Mo Village. All the people can lend money to Mo Jiazi."
"We can also lend money to Mo Jiazi." The merchant surnamed Zhao said in disbelief. Although they all despised the Ziqian family, in their hearts, which one of them didn't envy the Ziqian family's ability to make money? No one thought that one day they could also release money like the Ziqian family, and to the famous Mo family's son.
"Of course, the announcement of the bank clearly states that anyone can lend money." The idler said seriously.
"But we don't have so much money!" A diner hesitated. Suddenly, many people shook their heads. Mo Jiazi needed 100,000 strings of cash! Who could have so much money?
The idler said proudly, "You don't have to worry about that. The announcement of the Mo Village has stated that all the money should start from the Qian Bai Wen. If it's lower, there will be no way to calculate the interest."
"How much is the interest if we lend money to Mo Jiazi?" Li Shimin asked in a clear voice. Suddenly, everyone realized that they had neglected the most important interest of the money, which was related to their future income!
"One year of stamp money, interest rate of 3% per annum. Two years of stamp money, interest rate of 3.5% per annum. … .And so on. Five years of stamp money, interest rate of 5% per annum." The idler counted on his fingers and said one by one.
"Ah! 3%? That's too low! "Everyone sighed with disappointment. The interest was too low.
"Didn't Mo Jiazi and Zi Qian's money have an annual interest of 6%? Why is it halved?" Everyone was dissatisfied.
The merchant surnamed Zhao sneered, "That's Zi Qian's family. They can take out tens of thousands of strings of cash at once. How much money can you take out? How can you compare?"
Only then did everyone feel a little better. Even if they kept their money in their hands, it wouldn't make any money. If they could get 3% interest, it would be a good choice. If they weren't in a hurry to use it, they could keep it for five years. That would be 5%, which wasn't a small amount. Anyway, it would be buried underground anyway. In addition, they didn't have to worry about the Mo Family's ability to repay them.
"It's a pity that my money needs to be transferred at any time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have missed such a good opportunity." The merchant surnamed Zhao said regretfully.
The idler said, "That's not necessarily the case. There's also a kind of money that can be withdrawn at any time. The annual interest is 1%. Of course, if your money is too little, I'm afraid it won't be counted. If you keep a year's money and withdraw it in advance, the annual interest is also 1%."
When the merchant surnamed Zhao heard that Mo Jiazi was so thoughtful, he couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart. "Mo Jiazi is indeed Mo Jiazi. In this way, everyone in the world can keep their money."
"Wonderful! One person's money may not be much. There are so many people in the three lands. However, when many little drops make an ocean, it definitely won't be a small amount. "A diner slapped the table and praised.
"If that's the case, doesn't Mo Jiazi keep both the workshop and the bank?" The merchant surnamed Zhao couldn't help but click his tongue.
Mo Jiazi was indeed worthy of being Mo Jiazi. Under the situation of being besieged from all sides, he actually forcefully fought his way out and created a miracle once again.
"This time, the Ziqian family must be so angry that their mouths are crooked. They didn't agree to let Mo Jiazi borrow 6% before. Now, the Mo Family Village only needs to borrow 3%. The interest is reduced by half." A diner laughed. Being able to see the notorious Ziqian family suffer losses in silence, he couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
"This is Mo Jiazi!"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Mo Jiazi was indeed the same Mo Jiazi who created miracles time and time again.
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but nod his head slightly. Meton's move was really too beautiful. Originally, he was prepared to find trouble with Meton because of Princess Changle's suffering, but now, his thoughts disappeared.
