"Merton is far-sighted, I admire you!" Xiao Rui admired.
At this moment, he really realized that Mo Jiazi really deserves his reputation. Transporting vegetables in autumn and winter and fruits in spring and summer is simply taking the advantages of Jiangnan to the extreme. In the long run, Jiangnan's advantages will slowly widen and it is not out of reach to catch up with the Central Plains.
"I heard that the Mo Family Village has greenhouses and evergreen spinach in winter. My brother-in-law is not afraid that Jiangnan's vegetables will be transported back and robbed of my brother-in-law's business." Princess Xiangcheng's eyes flashed. When it comes to winter vegetables, I am afraid that the most famous is the out-of-season vegetables produced in the greenhouses of the Mo Family Village, as well as the gradually rising spinach, which is a must-have for the royal family in winter.
Meton laughed and said: "The output of vegetables produced in greenhouses is difficult even for the Mo Family Village to supply, let alone the whole market of Chang 'an City. As for spinach, you will be tired of eating delicacies every day, let alone a single vegetable."
Princess Changle and Princess Xiangcheng nodded with lingering fear. They ate spinach every day because they were pregnant and now they have a psychological shadow.
"However, because of the huge benefits of the Magic Mirror and the current situation of the Mo Family, the Mo Family still keeps the secret of the glass secret. If one day, the Mo Family can't resist the pressure and applies for the patent of the secret glass secret, at that time, glass will be mass-produced. The greenhouses in the North will probably rise from the ground and winter vegetables will no longer be on the table of the powerful. Even one day, the vegetables in the North will be self-sufficient. I am afraid that Jiangnan's dishes will not be sold at a good price even if they are sent thousands of miles away." Meton said.
Xiao Rui was shocked and immediately understood Moton's meaning. At present, Jiangnan is indeed sitting on the right time and has unique conditions. However, it is not without worries. If greenhouse greenhouses rise everywhere in the north, I am afraid that Jiangnan's vegetables will be in direct competition with them.
The North and the South have the right time and distance, and the freight is not cheap. The other has the right place. However, the cost of greenhouses is quite high and the cost is very expensive. It is obvious that this is the time to seize the opportunity.
If Jiangnan invests in the transportation of southern vegetables to the North on a large scale, then the North will spend a lot of money to build greenhouses. If Jiangnan is complacent, when the greenhouses in the North are built, the local vegetable supply will probably no longer need the vegetables from the South.
"Mo Jiazi is forcing Jiangnan to take a stand!" Xiao Rui took a deep breath and looked dignified. If Jiangnan really pushes Mo Jiazi to the Five Surnames and Seven Wang, once the Five Surnames and Seven Wang masters the Secret Skill of Glass, I am afraid that the chance of Jiangnan's rise will be greatly reduced.
"Of course, even if the Mohist family withstood the pressure from the Five Families and Seven Hopes, they wouldn't keep the Secret Glass Technique to themselves. After all, this doesn't conform to the Mohist family's philosophy," Meton pressed again.
Xiao Rui's breath was short. He knew that most of the Jiangnan Family were inclined to the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. They wanted to wait until the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes convinced the Mo Family Village, and then turn around to support the development of Jiangnan. However, Mo Jiazi made him understand that the Jiangnan Family delayed for one more day, the advantage of Jiangnan would also be lost.
If it didn't harm their own interests, the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family would naturally be happy to see the Mo Family and the Five Families and Seven Hopes fight. However, now that it was related to the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family's interests, the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family wouldn't be so calm.
"Merton has the world in his heart, I admire you." Xiao Rui smiled bitterly. He didn't think Meton was joking. If it was an ordinary person, he would not be willing to give up such a huge benefit of the Secret Glass Technique. However, Mo Jiazi is different. Xiao Rui believes that with Mo Jiazi's character and Mohist philosophy, the Secret Glass Technique will be made public in the Tang dynasty sooner or later.
"Next, this is the second gift I have prepared for Brother Xiao." Meton stretched out his hand and one of Mo Jiazi's younger brothers presented a glassware with a wide caliber and tightly sealed by an iron sheet.
"It's filled with Gong Tangerine!" Xiao Rui was surprised. Gong Tangerine was popular in Chang 'an City before and after the Spring Festival. Now the season has passed, but he didn't expect Mo Jiazi to put Gong Tangerine in a bottle and put it in the present.
Meton nodded and said, "Yes, because the goods of Mo Jiazi's Family Village can't be sold recently, even the sales of glass have dropped significantly. Brother Mo Jiazi made a lot of glass jars and filled them with secret fruit pulp. After sealing them tightly, they can be stored for a long time without deterioration."
"How long can it be stored?" Xiao Rui asked.
"At least a year!" Meton affirmed.
Xiao Rui's breath stagnated. There is no doubt about the benefits of this item to Jiangnan. Jiangnan is rich in fruit. How many can be transported by refrigerated carriage alone? If the remaining fruit is made into canned food in large quantities, it will sell well in the Tang dynasty.
"However, it is extremely difficult to seal the canned food. It is difficult to do it by manpower alone, so Mo Family borrowed the power of the river and used a waterwheel to seal the canned food quickly and accurately."
Unconsciously, a group of people came to the river and Meton pointed to a huge waterwheel. Xiao Rui raised his head. The waterwheel kept flowing with the river, and a huge roller was connected to the factory by the river.
"The water flow in the Central Plains is gentle. Mo Family took advantage of the favorable position to get such a place with rapid water flow. There are very few canned food produced. However, for Jiangnan, where water is abundant, such water conservancy is everywhere." Meton pointed to the huge waterway.
"Ink Technique!" Xiao Rui said in his heart.
Whether it is refrigerated carriage or the huge water conservancy machinery in front of him, Mo Jiazi is showing his strength and showing Jiangnan that it is not Mo Family that urgently needs Jiangnan, but Jiangnan also needs Mo Family. If Jiangnan wants to rise, it must be inseparable from Mo Family's Ink Technique.
Under the leadership of Meton, Xiao Rui and the Princess of Xiangcheng carefully visited the workshops of the Mo Family Village. They couldn't help but feel a little lucky for Mo Family's exquisite Ink Technique.
Fortunately, the Five Surnames and Seven Watches were too greedy and wanted to annex the Mo Family Village. Fortunately, Mo Jiazi is a tough bone and refuses to succumb to the power of the Five Surnames and Seven Watches. Otherwise, the Five Surnames and Seven Watches themselves are powerful. If they get so many Ink Techniques, even if Jiangnan develops according to the road designed by Mo Jiazi, it will be difficult for them to catch up with Jiangnan.
"It's not that I'm talking nonsense. If Mo Family stands on the side of Jiangnan, Jiangnan may prosper and catch up with or even surpass the Central Plains. If Mo Family stands on the side of the Central Plains, with the rise of workshops all over the Central Plains, a few agricultural products alone will not help. Jiangnan will always become a vassal of the Central Plains." Merton said.
With the progress of society, agriculture has gradually become a vassal of industry. No matter how well Jiangnan's agriculture develops, if there is no industrial bonus, Jiangnan's prosperity will be in vain.
"Thank you Merton for your bluntness. I will try my best to persuade my father when I go back." Xiao Rui solemnly said. At this moment, he has deeply realized that it is not that Mo Family needs Jiangnan, but that Jiangnan needs Mo Family more. Without Jiangnan, Mo Family will continue to be dormant at most and continue to wait for the opportunity. Without Mo Family, Jiangnan's prosperity will become a dream. And according to his information, Mo Family even touches another place that the Five Surnames and Seven Watches can't take care of, that is, the Western Regions.
Meton said with a smile: "Then I can tell Brother Xiao another news. Now there are hundreds of carriages of Lingnan's lychees detained outside Xingyang. Not surprisingly, these lychees are already stinking. This is the loss of thousands of strings of money. These lychees are the result of the hard work of the people of Lingnan. I believe that Master Xiao will definitely seek justice for the people of Lingnan and open a lifeline for the development of Jiangnan by the way."
Xiao Rui took a deep look at Meton and couldn't help admiring: "Merton is good at calculating!"
Meton's two poems set off the lychees craze in Chang 'an City, and he took advantage of the time difference to transport thousands of pounds of fresh lychees from Jiangnan. This must have annoyed the furious Zheng Family of Xingyang. Naturally, they will not allow the lychees purchased by Mo Family to reach Chang' an City again. They will find a reason to detain them one by one.
However, what the Zheng Family of Xingyang doesn't know is that these hundreds of lychees were deliberately detained by Mo Jiazi. In a hurry, Mo Jiazi can try his best to transport thousands of pounds of lychees to Chang 'an City. As for the remaining hundreds of carriages of lychees, I am afraid that there is not enough ice to refrigerate them. I am afraid that they will be damaged when they are transported to Xingyang City. And the Zheng Family of Xingyang is complacent, but they don't know that they have fallen into a trap.
What's more, this route is the only brick road from Chang 'an City to Lingnan. If the Jiangnan Family wants to promote the development of Jiangnan, this route is the only way to fight for it. And Mo Jiazi just happened to give it to the Jiangnan Family.
Mo Jiazi! Worthy of Mo Jiazi.
For the first time, Xiao Rui felt that even if there was no Jiangnan Family, with Mo Jiazi's means, it would be difficult to laugh at the end.
