There was a lot of rumors in the city that if Wu Zheng's Northern Expedition was not successful, the Mo family would become a sacrifice for Wu Zheng's failure.

But Mo Zhi was not moved at all, and firmly implemented the plan step by step according to Wu Zheng's dictation at that time.

In fact, the "food war" that Wu Zheng mentioned at that time was really not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.

The bet is not the success or failure of the war, but the hearts and minds of the people.

The human heart is repetitive, suspicious, and very complex.

There can be a turning point at any time, and it's not really anyone's control.

Mo Zhinian also encountered a problem, the rich in the city was rejected by Mo Zhinian, at the beginning of the cheap grain in the official warehouse, not only did not reduce the price accordingly, but even concentrated on buying cheap grain in the official warehouse.

Although this is expected, the pressure that comes with Mo Obsession can be imagined.

You know, this is the military rations of Wu Zheng's Northern Expedition.

Until Wu Zheng's army recovered Songjiang Mansion without bloodshed, the granary of the official government had been exhausted, but although Songjiang Mansion was not as short of grain as Wu Shengzhao's bitterness, it was also unable to transport grain to Hangzhou City.

At that time, Mo was obsessed with riding a tiger, so he convened several sons to hold a family meeting.

Mo Zhizhi said, "This is a big gamble, if you win, you will make a lot of money, and if you lose, you will lose everything." In the future, you are going to inherit the Mo family's business, how to choose, I want to hear your meaning today, you can speak freely. ”

To Mo Zhinian's dismay, his three sons unanimously chose to abandon this plan.

His eldest son, that is, Wu Zheng's father who had seen the stunning beauty Mo Yiqing before, said here: "My father once taught his children and brothers, as businessmen, not to put their eggs in the same basket, although the Mo family is rich, but to put the entire Mo family into Wu Zheng's basket that is not big enough and not strong enough, is it not contrary to what my father said back then?" I hope my father will think twice! ”

His words drew the echo of his brothers.

Mo Zhinian's face remained unchanged, but his heart was cold to the bottom.

He suddenly found that he had thought about something wrong, after all, he was old, and he could follow Wu Zheng for more than ten years at most, but how to continue the inheritance of the Mo family, if there is no one who can fit his heart to take over, then everything he does is probably a bamboo basket for nothing.

After several thorough conversations with Wu Zheng, Mo Zhinian knows Wu Zheng's temperament very well, this young man is by no means guessable by age, his suspiciousness, fickleness, and decisiveness to repay kindness and revenge can almost be described as retribution.

Now that he is doing his best to assist, one day, he will return to heaven, once the heir does the opposite, then everything will be like a mirror, not only can not bring honor to the Mo family, but will cause death.

At this moment, Mo was shaken, and he thought about whether he should really put his eggs in multiple baskets as the eldest son said.

But at this moment, a clear voice came, "Grandfather's intention not to put all his eggs in the same basket is nothing more than the risk of differentiation." But my grandfather also said that shopping malls are like battlefields, since they are battlefields, and we can know that the war situation is changing rapidly, and the same method meets different situations, so we should naturally change the response method. ”

Mo Obsession's eyes suddenly lit up.

His eldest son frowned and scolded: "Qing'er, this is not something that one of your daughters should intervene in, Mo Dao, your grandfather usually connived at you, so you can be unscrupulous and presumptuous in front of your father!" ”

Mo Zhinian raised his hand to stop: "According to the courtesy, Qing'er does not have the right to interject, but today it was the old man who asked her to hide behind the screen, and she is qualified to speak." ”

The eldest son hurriedly said, "Father, the etiquette must not be abolished?!" ”

Mo obsessed and said, "What ceremony?" ”

"The gift of heaven and earth, the gift of the general."

"The old man is your father, you are so against me, what is the courtesy?" Mo Zhinian retorted with a little sarcasm, "Besides, the old man let Qing'er listen behind the screen today, in addition to the old man's doting on this girl, there is another reason." ”

"Father, please."

"Qing'er has already promised Wu Zheng, that is the Wu family. She is not an exaggeration to listen as a member of the Wu family, right? ”

The eldest son immediately retorted: "Father, this is the Mo family's deliberations!" ”

Mo obsessed: "Although it is a matter of the Mo family, it is related to the covenant between the Mo family and Wu Zheng. ”

The sons were speechless.

Mo Zhizhi turned his head and said, "Qing'er, if there is anything else you want to say, you might as well talk about it in detail." ”

Mo Yiqing bowed to Mo Zhinian, and then blessed her father and uncles, and then said softly: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road." Although the grandson did not understand military affairs, his grandfather, father, and uncles must have understood this truth. The Mo family helps Wu Zheng with the strength of the family, which is indeed risky, but the return is also beyond expectations. If the Mo family gives up halfway at this time, this is not only a matter of losing credibility, but will set up a strong enemy, and now that Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Songjiang are all under the control of Wu Zheng, how can the Mo family resist Wu Zheng's anger? ”

Mo obsessively nodded his beard, his expression leisurely.

Mo Yiqing continued: "Originally, the grandson should not have spoken, but thinking of his grandfather's teaching to his grandson on weekdays, and even more thinking of the future honor and disgrace of the Mo family, the grandson said that he hoped that his grandfather, father and uncles would not be guilty. ”

After speaking, another blessing slowly disappeared in a glass screen behind.

Mo Zhinian stroked his beard and sighed: "There is a successor to the Mo family." ”

The eldest son hurriedly said: "Father, Qing'er is just a child. ”

Mo obsessed with the old eyes and said: "The old man has taught you to raise you since childhood, you are not as insightful as Qing'er today, what is the value of a businessman?" What is faith? ”

The sons were speechless.

"But your concerns are not unreasonable." Mo Zhinian closed his eyes and thought about it.

Zhuzi's face was overjoyed.

Mo Zhinian suddenly opened his eyes and said: "In this way, the old man will give you 100,000 taels each, and you can go anywhere to operate, for a period of five years, and then come back, and the one who earns more silver will win, and you can inherit the Mo family's business." ”

The sons were at a loss when they heard this, and the eldest son said: "My father controls the economic power of Hangzhou Mansion, and now it is the time for the Mo family to employ people, so you send your children and brothers out ......to do business at this time." ”

Mo Zhi said sharply: "Who said that eggs should not be put in the same basket?" The old man is now a measure to defuse the risk, as long as you and other brothers are scattered in the world, there is no one who can uproot the Mo family. Why, do you want to disobey my decision? ”

"The child doesn't dare."

That night, Mo Zhinian left his granddaughter Mo Yiqing.

"Qing'er, you should tell me, now that the rice and grain in Hangzhou's official warehouse are out of stock, should the Mo family use the grain storage and continue to sell it at a low price?"

"Grandfather, grandson bravery." Mo Yiqing replied confidently, "If you continue to sell quietly, the rich families in the city can still join forces to eat, which is equivalent to taking the Mo family and the entire Hangzhou City as enemies, and my grandson thinks that this move is inappropriate." ”
