However, the exhibition that Mo Jiazi thought was nothing special had caused a sensation in the outside world. It was as hot as the discussion about A Chinese Ghost Story.
"Another exhibition is about to begin. I missed it last time, but I can't miss it again this time!"
"Every time there's an exhibition of ink skills, it's an endless business opportunity. This is precisely the opportunity for us businessmen!"
Once the exhibition was held, not only would it shock people, but it would also bring many business opportunities. Every brand new ink technique would bring a lot of wealth.
The Mo Family Village's influence was only limited to Chang 'an and Luoyang. As long as they copied the ink techniques from the Mo Family Village to other places, there would be immediate results.
Not to mention, they could also sell the newly produced goods from the Mo Family Village. Even if they brought them to other places to resell, it would still be a profitable business.
"I heard that Mo Jiazi will choose a workshop to produce the Green Dragon True Medicine after the exhibition. That's a real gold mine." A businessman clicked his tongue.
Although there wasn't anything special about Morton's Ink Skills Exhibition this time, there was a real explosive product on the surface, and that was the Green Dragon True Medicine.
Everyone knew that once such a miraculous Green Dragon True Medicine was mass-produced, it would bring endless wealth. Who wouldn't be tempted in the face of an endless gold mine?
"Don't even think about it. It's said that the craftsmanship of the Green Dragon True Medicine is extremely complicated. Building a workshop to produce the Green Dragon True Medicine requires a lot of money. Ordinary people like us can forget about it." A well-informed person couldn't help but feel disheartened.
That's right. Building a large-scale medicine factory required a lot of money. It was impossible for ordinary people to do it. However, the Tang Dynasty didn't lack rich people. In a short time, the entire Tang Dynasty's aristocratic families and even the big businessmen all moved. They all wanted to cut the best piece of this fat meat.
Along with the discussions, this year's exhibition of Mo's skills became more and more popular. Luoyang, Xingyang, and even further away, where the brick roads were paved, all those who were interested flocked to Chang 'an in order to have a look at the exhibition of Mo's skills and to find a business opportunity.
On the 25th of February in the 10th year of Zhenguan's reign, the Mo Family's Mo Skills Exhibition officially began. All of a sudden, the entire Chang 'an City was flooded with people, rushing to the Mo Family's exhibition center outside the southern gate of Chang' an City.
"The Mo Family's power has been established!"
Kong Yingda, who had been invited, couldn't help but be shocked as he looked at the scene that was even more lively than the previous years.
It had only been a few years since Mo Jiazi came to the capital with a carriage full of live fish. How could he not be shocked when the Mo Family became so powerful under the leadership of the Mo Family Village?
Kong Desheng sneered and said, "The general trend is already set? In my opinion, Mo Jiazi is destroying his own great wall! If the Mo Family's Village could hold the ink skills that made it famous, it could continue to prosper. But now, for the so-called patent law, he even disclosed all the ink skills of the Mo Family. No matter how much money he has, it's just a pile of copper stink. "
In Kong Desheng's opinion, there were too many loopholes in the so-called patent law. The Mo Family's Village was rich and powerful, but ordinary people couldn't even get their money back. How many people would follow the Mo Family to apply for patents?
"Maybe Mo Jiazi has other tricks." Kong Yingda frowned and said. In this era where information was not developed at all, if someone stole someone else's patent, the other party might not know it until his death. Even if he knew, he wouldn't go thousands of miles to file a lawsuit. This was the biggest loophole in the so-called patent law.
Kong Desheng smiled and said, "But Mo Jiazi did a good thing, that is, he proposed the copyright of literati."
If someone stole the patent of the Mo Family, he would definitely hide it and try his best not to let the other party know. However, the copyright of literati was different. It was usually published in the newspaper or printed. It was very easy to find the newspaper or book company that stole one's work, and it was also much easier to ask for compensation.
Kong Yingda couldn't help but nod. This was why he didn't hesitate to agree with Mo Jiazi's proposal. For the Confucian School, this was also a hundred miles away without any harm.
The two smiled at each other and entered together. Just as they entered the Confucian School's box and sat down, a familiar figure suddenly walked by the window.
"The head of the Wang Family." Kong Desheng couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect to see the head of the Wang Family, who hadn't taken a single step out of Taiyuan for many years.
"Isn't the Taiyuan Wang Family at odds with Mo Jiazi? Why would they come to the Mo Family's exhibition?" Kong Yingda was puzzled.
Kong Desheng shook his head and said, "Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts. How could the Taiyuan Wang Family be willing to give up on such a miraculous medicine like the Azure Dragon True Medicine?"
In his opinion, the head of the Wang Family must have come to the capital for the Azure Dragon True Medicine. He didn't expect that the Azure Dragon True Medicine would even attract the attention of the Taiyuan Wang Family, a thousand-year-old family.
Then, what made Kong Desheng even more stunned was that the heads of the Li Family of Longxi, the Li Family of Zhao County, the Cui Family of Boling, the Cui Family of Qinghe, the Lu Family of Fanyang, and the Zheng Family of Xingyang all passed by them at the same time. If it weren't for the fact that Kong Desheng was experienced and knowledgeable, and had seen these heads of families before, he probably would have thought that they were ordinary wealthy families who came to the Mo Family's exhibition to join in the fun.
"The Seven Families of the Five Hopes are all here. This time Mo Jiazi is making a big fuss!" Kong Yingda sucked in a breath of cold air and said.
The Seven Families of the Five Hopes were the top seven families in the Tang dynasty. If any of them made a move, the entire Tang dynasty would tremble. Now that the heads of these seven families were all gathered at the Mo Family's exhibition, what kind of sensation would it cause if the news got out?
Of course, Mo Jiazi didn't know any of this. He didn't know that the Mo Family had attracted the interest of these seven families. Bursts of drums sounded, and Meton stepped onto the stage of the Mo Family's exhibition. Instantly, countless people cheered.
"The ignorant are really fearless!" Kong Yingda couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw that Meton didn't know anything about this.
Meton proudly looked around and slightly raised his head. Immediately, the whole hall quieted down and Meton became the center of attention.
"This is Mo Jiazi!" The head of the Wang Family looked at the young man in the center of the Mo Family's exhibition with a little surprise. He never thought that this young man would be the person who stirred up the storm in the Tang dynasty. Moreover, he made the Wang Family suffer so much that they almost withdrew from the business world in Chang 'an. He even caused the price of the Wang Family's economic lifeline to plummet.
In the long run, the Taiyuan Wang Family would definitely lose their position as one of the Seven Families of the Five Hopes. If he didn't see the crisis of the Taiyuan Wang Family, he wouldn't have personally come out to find another source of income for the Taiyuan Wang Family, which was the Green Dragon True Medicine.
Once the Taiyuan Wang Family had the formula to produce the Green Dragon True Medicine, they would pay attention to making up for the losses caused by the salt.
However, when he looked at the heads of the other six families not far away, he couldn't help but frown. It seemed that there were many people who had the same idea as him! It seemed that this time, he might have to share the profits with them.
The heads of the seven families looked at each other and nodded tacitly, reaching an agreement to divide the profits. When they looked at Mo Jiazi again, it was as if they were looking at a bird in a cage.
