Chapter XXIV
"Mojia Village's method of artificially raising fish is meritorious, and the Mojia Village is licensed to work and do business, which is not as good as a lowly status, but Mojiazi Moton has a stubborn personality, greedy for pleasure, and is not good at studying. Chinchi! Pound grinned and put away the decree and looked at Merton, who was kneeling in front of him.
"Weichen Command!" Merton smiled bitterly, and had to respectfully accept the holy decree, he knew that his purpose had been detected by Li Shimin, since Li Shimin agreed to his request, then he had no reason to refuse to be the emperor's experiment.
"Lord County is so blessed, Your Majesty has appointed you to enter the Guozijian, that is Your Majesty's precious grace, I hope you will not live up to Your Majesty's expectations."
Pound smiled and looked kind, but Merton sounded like a threat, what is His Majesty's expectation, is it to make Merton called a great Confucian, I'm afraid it depends on how he tosses in the country!
"Please also tell your father-in-law, please rest assured, Weichen will do his best to satisfy His Majesty!" Merton said with a wry smile.
"Okay, if the county uncle has this realization, His Majesty will be very pleased." Pound was satisfied.
Pang De left satisfied, and by the way, he also took away a few of the most nourishing soft-shelled turtles caught in Mojia Village, and honored the emperor for Mojia Village.
Merton returned to the fresh fish shop, his intestines were full of regret, he really wanted to slap himself a few times, why should he talk about the catfish effect? Replace it with boiling frogs in warm water, can the emperor still cook him?
"Great, it's a double blessing!" Fu Bo burst into tears with excitement, his two biggest wishes in life, one was to make the young master a talent, and the other was to make Mojia Village prosperous and rich, and now they all came true at once.
Merton rolled his eyes speechlessly, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a wolf when he entered the Guozi Prison, and he had to take off a layer of skin, what was there to be happy about.
"Young master, I don't know anything, Guozijian is a place where my Datang specializes in cultivating officials, once he graduates, he will definitely be an official." Li Yi explained.
"Hmm!" The others nodded their heads in unison.
In their opinion, in the future, when the young master is so powerful, after becoming an official, the life of Mojia Village will definitely be better, as for letting Mojia Village do business, in their opinion, where can the young master enter the country.
"Okay, Your Majesty has made an order, then this matter has become a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it, with Your Majesty's relationship, I don't think the Confucian students of the country will dare to go too far." Merton consoled himself with this.
"Okay, now that the crisis in our Mojia Village has passed, the next more important thing is to earn enough money and food for Mojia Village before the Spring Festival." Merton's eyes sharpened, and now it was time for the Wang Family Fish Shop to pay off the bill.
With Merton's order, all the 5,000 people of Mojia Village were mobilized, the women prepared the logistics, and the men all used to build waterwheels, fishing, and transportation, and the entire Mojia Village was like a sophisticated instrument, running wildly.
Three days later, all the fish ponds in Mojia Village were sold out.
Subsequently, the fish ponds of the villages within ten miles on both sides of the official road of Chang'an City were all booked by Mojia Village, and this range gradually expanded to the whole Chang'an over time, and the entire official road was full of fish transport vehicles in Mojia Village.
Outside the southern city, even if Chi Zhiyong has already been assigned to the border pass, no one dares to embarrass Mojia Village by guarding the city gate, but the transit fish pond in Mojia Village is still used, not for secrecy, but for convenience, the transit fish pond has been expanded again and again, and it still can't meet the demand for live fish in Chang'an City.
Merton looked at the densely floating fish heads in the transit fish pond outside the city gate, and the long queue of fish trafficking vehicles lined up outside the pond, and nodded with satisfaction, Mojia Village has successfully jumped from a small fishmonger to the largest fish merchant in Chang'an City.
"From today, the wholesale price of live fish will drop by 30%, so that fishmongers can lower the price of fish!" Merton said.
"But young master, tomorrow is the New Year, we are all preparing for many people to prepare New Year's goods, a good time to officially sell fish, is it a big loss to reduce the price at this time." Li Xin was surprised.
"Looking at the long term, we have earned enough in Mojia Village, it's time to give in a little! By the way, I also got a little interest back from Wang's fish shop. Merton said.
Although Li Xin didn't understand, he still passed on the young master's order.
"Oh!" All the fishmongers couldn't help cheering, it seemed that everyone had lowered the price by thirty percent, but this thirty percent was lost by Mojia Village, and the fishmonger's profit remained the same, and even the price was reduced, so they could sell more and make more money.
All this seems to be happy, more fish are sold, and the people of Chang'an City have benefited, but only one is not light.
"The price of the Mo family's live fish has been greatly reduced, come and buy fish!"
"The Mo family's live fish is the most nourishing!"
"There is more than every year, there is more than every year, big brother, it's almost the New Year, prepare a New Year's goods to buy a fish to be auspicious, and it is also affordable!"
………………
In the Wang's fish shop, the Wang shopkeeper is fast at his door. The fish shop opposite is doing a prosperous business, and the fire in my heart is rising.
"Bump!" Shopkeeper Wang angrily smashed the purple clay pot in his hand, and said through gritted teeth.
"The Mo family is too much!"
Zhang Shufang also smiled bitterly: "The owner, since the fish gang incident, Mojia Village has repeatedly targeted Wang's fish shop, the branch of the fresh fish shop is directly opposite the Wang's fish shop, and also let those small fishmongers enter the live fish, our business is becoming increasingly bleak, this time the big price reduction in Mojia Village has directly pulled the price of live fish to the price of dead fish, and the 10,000 catties of fish we just entered are smashed in our hands." ”
In order to welcome the opportunity of the New Year, in order to grab orders from Mojia Village, Wang's fish shop only bought a large number of fish with additional money, and even many follow-up deposits have been paid in advance. Now Morton has come to this trick, but it has hurt the Wang family's fish shop.
"It's too much of a deception, Chi Zhiyong has already been assigned to the border pass, and the Fish Gang has been put in prison, what else does he want!" The shopkeeper said angrily, but he only missed himself, and he didn't want to think about it, if it wasn't for him, the culprit, how could there be so many things.
"Hurry up and get ready! Hurry up and find the master! The shopkeeper of the king commanded, the Wang family fish shop looks like his industry, but it is actually Wang Yushi's, he is just a descendant of Wang Yushi, and now the Wang family fish shop has lost so much, how can it not hide from the master's family.
The carriage drove out of the back door of the Wang's fish shop, driven by Zhang Zhang's bookkeeper himself, and the shopkeeper Wang thought about how to tell the Mojia Village to the master's family on the carriage, but he didn't find a carriage coming rapidly in front of him, and the two carriages were about to knock down one by one.
"Phew!" Zhang Ledger hurriedly pulled the reins to avoid, the carriage staggered, Zhang Ledger consciously the carriage suddenly took off, the whole carriage and the horse and the people hit the shop next to it at once, coincidentally, a beam above the shop smashed on the carriage at once, and suddenly came the miserable cry for help from the shopkeeper and the Zhang Ledger.
The carriage on the opposite side quietly took off the cloak that covered his face, revealing the mottled face of the fish master, and then quietly drove away, everything looked like an accident.
