In front of the bank of the Village Mo's Village, there was a crowd of people rushing to withdraw money, for fear that their money would be wasted if they were late.
"How long can the bank of the Village Mo's Village last?" On the second floor of the bank, Meton looked at the crowd below and frowned.
"Three days at most!" Shen Hongcai said gloomily. Although many workshops had returned the money, now rumors were spreading all over Chang 'an City, and more and more people were rushing to the bank. The bank of the Village Mo's Village might not last long.
"Three days!" All of a sudden, there was a dead silence. The shortage of money in the bank of Village Mo was not small. How could they raise so much money in such a short period of three days? Moreover, at this speed, even the 300,000 strings of coins in the palace would be like a drop in the bucket.
"These aristocratic families are too vicious!" Shen Hongcai said indignantly. In these days, the aristocratic families had used all kinds of dirty tricks. They not only threatened and tempted those workshops, but also killed all the workshops that supported the Mo's, causing many workshops to suffer a great loss.
Now the bank of the Village Mo's Village was the core of the Village Mo's Village. It was not only the most powerful department in the village, but also the most vulnerable one. Once the bank of the Village Mo's Village went bankrupt, the whole village would collapse like an avalanche.
"Tomorrow, there will be another batch of money sent to the Village Mo's Village. Headmaster, you must support the bank for ten days!" Meton said, frowning.
"Ten days! Do you have a way to revive the bank of the Village Mo's Village? "Shen Hongcai was delighted and looked at Meton in disbelief.
Meton shook his head and said, "Everything depends on effort. There are still many good things in the Village Mo's Village that are coveted by many people. They should be able to be sold at a good price!"
Shen Hongcai took a deep breath and said seriously, "Don't worry, boss. I will definitely support the bank of the Village Mo's Village!"
Meton nodded and turned to go downstairs. There was a four-wheeled carriage waiting for him. When Meton was about to leave, a brand-new four-wheeled carriage produced by the Village Mo's Village suddenly stopped in front of Meton's carriage.
"The four-wheeled carriage produced by the Village Mo's Village is really extraordinary. It's very comfortable to ride on it as if it is on flat ground. What's more, the brake is accurate and it won't hurt the horse. It's a pity to stop production! "Suddenly, a glib voice came. The door slid open, Zheng Chang appeared.
"So it's you!" Modun said with a frown. He naturally recognized Zheng Chang.
"Brother Mo, I'm a good brother. I heard that the Mo Family Village is short of money recently, so I specially bought a four-wheeled carriage produced by the Mo Family Village to support Brother Mo. It cost me 20 strings of coins. "
. You.................................................... Mo Dun said expressionlessly. If it were not for the rumors spread by the Five Families and Seven Families, the Mo Family Village would not be in a crisis.
"Rumor!" Zheng Chang burst into laughter. He pointed at the long line of the bank of the Village Mo's Village and sneered, "If it's a rumor, what's this? This is the person that the Mo's Family tried their best to protect. Now he is the one who gave the Mo's Family a fatal blow. It's really disappointing to see him repay kindness with ingratitude. "
The Mo's Family represented countless ordinary people in the lower class of the society. Now, it was these people who were peacefully running the bank of the Village Mo's Village. What Zheng Chang said was the most intuitive fact.
However, Meton was not moved. He shook his head and said, "They just want to get their money back. It's not wrong. It's just human nature. They don't ask for much. They just want to make some money with their spare money, so that those who are really short of money can get through the temporary difficulties."
"The ones who are really wrong are those who spread the rumor. A rumor makes countless people lose a lot of interest, so those who are really short of money have nowhere to borrow. It's the biggest sin in the world that harms others without benefiting oneself. "
Zheng Chang's face suddenly turned red. As a proud son of an aristocratic family, how could he bear such a big insult? He said angrily, "Am I wrong? The bank of the Village Mo's Village is really out of money. Facing such a run, how many days can you support? Three days or five days? Even if the palace takes out 300,000 strings of string of money, you can't support it for half a month."
"So what? As long as the bank of the Village Mo's Village still has those land deeds, sooner or later those workshops will have to pay back the money. The money that should belong to the Village Mo's Village will come back sooner or later. "Meton sneered.
Zheng Chang sneered, "Do you think you can get back the money easily? Before long, you will find that countless workshops have declared bankruptcy. Besides, even if you get back some of the money, I'm afraid that the reputation of the bank in Village Mo will be ruined by then. I know that this bank is the institution that Brother Mo values the most and is a crucial step in the Mo family's plan. Without the bank, the Mo family's road to recovery will not move forward but backward. The Mo family and the aristocratic families will benefit from each other. Once again, I can make the decision, but the main thing is that Brother Mo agrees to turn hostility into friendship, and the original promise of the seven families will remain unchanged."
Zheng Chang knew that Meton's biggest wish was to revive Mo's Family, so he decided to tempt Meton with this.
"People with different principles can't make plans together! Mo's Family and aristocratic families are destined to be different. "Meton refused without hesitation.
Zheng Chang's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy and said, "In my opinion, Brother Mo is still arrogant and conceited. Our Family of Five Hopes has been established for thousands of years, and we have never failed to get what we want. I hope Brother Mo won't regret it. When the Village Mo's Village goes bankrupt, I'm afraid it will not be the same condition."
Meton said proudly, "For thousands of years, no one has dared to refuse the Family of Five Hopes. It's not that they don't want to. Since it's so, I'll be the first to say no."
After that, Meton waved his hand, and the window was slowly rolled up. He didn't want to say anything more to Zheng Chang.
Zheng Chang suddenly became flustered and exasperated and said, "I know you want to sell the property of the Village Mo's Village. Do you think anyone dares to take it over? Even if someone takes it over, how much money can they pay? In the end, you will find that the Family of Five Hopes is the fairest."
However, Meton didn't respond. The carriage didn't stop but sped up, leaving Zheng Chang shouting in the street.
Although the Mo's Family was in an absolute disadvantage, the Family of Five Hopes was also under great pressure. They used their power to suppress the Mo's Family. In order to solve the problem of a group of rich playboys smuggling goods, the Family of Five Hopes had to pay a lot of political resources to satisfy the appetite of the emerging aristocratic families. In their hearts, they also wanted to cut the Gordian knot. After all, the Li Family of Five Hopes was not surnamed Zheng or Wang. However, they didn't expect that Mo Jiazi was so stinky and stubborn that he was ready to fight against the aristocratic families to the end.
"Young master, don't worry. I have already prepared for Mo Jiazi's move. Even if Mo Jiazi sells the whole property of the Village Mo's Village, it can't fill the big hole in the bank of the Village Mo's Village." Uncle Zheng said on the side.
Only then did Zheng Chang feel slightly relieved and nodded. He said, "Mo Jiazi is stinky and stubborn. It's impossible to reach an agreement. How's your arrangement with the Kong Family?"
Zheng Bodun said proudly, "Young master, don't worry. It's a little troublesome to deal with the Mo's Family, but it's a piece of cake to deal with the Kong Family. Those teachers are not willing to only know the Four Books and Five Classics. How can they be willing to teach mathematics? I only need to give a little instruction and those teachers will all rebel against the Kong Family. Not to mention that the private schools can't be changed to primary schools, even the private schools that were originally willing to change to primary schools have changed their minds."
"Well done!" Zheng Chang said with satisfaction. At this moment, although there was no good news for the Mo's Family, there were good news for the Confucian Family. Moreover, he had received instructions from his father. The Mo's Family was just a backup plan prepared by the Seven Families. As long as the reform of the Confucian Family was stopped, the aristocratic families would be free of worries. At that time, it would be a piece of cake to deal with the Mo's Family.
"This is only one of the reasons. Not only are the teachers unwilling to teach, but even the students are unwilling to learn. In the Tang dynasty, only the Four Books and Five Classics can pass the imperial examination. I only gave a little instruction and many students and parents are already full of resentment. I believe that it will soon be reported to the imperial court. At that time, Kong Yingda will suffer." Uncle Fu gloated.
"Good! Good! " Zheng Chang laughed loudly. He finally heard a piece of good news. Once the Kong Family failed to change the private schools into primary schools, the aristocratic families' worries would be eliminated. He would be the first to take the credit.
