Chapter 10 The City Gate is in Trouble
The next day, with the rush of Mojia Village burst out with shocking vitality, everyone was like a chicken blood, full of energy, the sky was just dawn, all the villagers had already gotten up to work, even the laziest purple clothes, also cleaned the inside and outside of Mofu.
"Not bad!" Merton touched the little head of the purple coat and praised. The misdeeds made Ziyi roll her eyes.
"Do a good job, I'll come back today and bring you a silk." Merton decided to reward the purple clothes well, this girl still has hope to be qualified for the maid's job after a good tempering.
"Thank you, young master." Ziyi instantly forgot the previous hatred and said happily.
"Hey! Still so heartless! Merton sighed, waved his hand, and jumped on an ox cart.
With spare money, Mojia Village immediately hired a cow from a neighboring village to pull a cart, so that Merton finally avoided the tragedy of walking another fifty miles.
"Let's go!" Merton was in high spirits, as if commanding thousands of troops, but only fifteen waterwheels were a little less imposing, and it seemed a little funny.
As soon as the convoy arrived in Chang'an City, it immediately beat gongs and drums to set up the signboard of Mojia Village.
"The people from Mojia Village are here again." Yesterday's guy exclaimed.
"Could it be that Mojia Village has really mastered the stunt that can keep fish alive for a long time?" People with a keen sense of smell suddenly realize the stakes.
If Mojia Village only sells live fish once, maybe everyone will just be a talking point, and now Mojia Village has come as promised for the second time, and brought fifteen truckloads of live fish, then the Mojia stunt may really exist.
"It's really a thousand-year-old stunt of the Mo family!" The citizens of Chang'an exclaimed, more and more Chang'an citizens finally believed in the existence of the Mo family's stunts, and the Mo family was famous in the pre-Qin period, with the addition of the two, the live fish of Mojia Village became popular in Chang'an City again, and even the citizens in the east and west of the city also came to buy fish.
As a result, fifteen truckloads of live fish in Mojia Village were sold out in half an hour.
On the third day, it was even more sensational, with fifteen carts of live fish and fifteen carts of grain pulled back.
On the fourth day, the number of waterwheels in Mojia Village increased to 20, and the sales of live fish were still in short supply, and Mojia Village brought back 20 trucks of grain.
On the fifth day, the convoy of Mojia Village increased by twenty-five, and when the twenty-five Mojia convoy arrived at the south gate of Chang'an City.
The merchants who were waiting for the passing were all looking at the motorcade of Mojia Village with envious eyes, and the myth of Mojia Village creating wealth for five days had already been widely spread among these merchants and citizens.
Envy and jealousy, but also unwilling, who called the Mojia Village to have a thousand-year-old Mo family behind him!
"Stop!" A city gate captain stretched out his hand to stop the convoy in Mojia Village.
"Oh! It turned out to be General Chi Zhiyong, and I don't know what General Chi Zhiyong had to do to stop our Mojia Village convoy. Li Yi frowned, stretched out his hand to stop Merton, and stepped forward to ask.
"The New Year is coming soon, and the inside and outside of Chang'an City are not peaceful these days, and I received an order from the top to strictly investigate the business travel, so as not to have bandits mixed into Chang'an City." Chi Zhiyong said with a straight face.
"General Chi, please rest assured, Mojia Village is the descendants of veterans who follow His Majesty to fight the world, and the master of our Mojia Village is the county uncle personally appointed by His Majesty today, and he is loyal to His Majesty, and there is absolutely no person with a bad character, let alone a bandit." Li Yi pointed at Merton and said loudly.
"Whether there are bandits or not, you will find out after checking!" Chi Zhiyong was not accommodating at all, even if Li Yi moved out of Merton's title, Chi Zhiyong was not moved.
"I think your watermill is the best hiding place for bandits." Chi Zhiyong said loudly.
"General, this is our fish cart that sells fish, and the whole Chang'an City knows about it." Li Yi retorted.
"Whether it's a fish or a person, just open it and see it, if there are no bandits, the official will still wronged you." Chi Zhiyong said sharply.
Everyone in Mojia Village sighed in their hearts, something bad happened! This city gate captain is here for the secret technique of live fish in Mojia Village, and any inspection of bandits is an excuse, otherwise why don't other merchants and cars check, but check the vehicles of Mojia Village.
There was also an uproar outside the south gate waiting for merchants to enter and exit, these people were also human spirits, of course, they could guess the intention of this city gate captain to open the waterwheel of Mojia Village.
The secret technique of the Mo family's live fish!
Yes, it was for the sake of the live fish secret technique of Mojia Village, Chi Zhiyong took the risk of offending Mojia Village, and took a great risk by cleverly seizing the live fish secret technique of Mojia Village in front of everyone.
But imagining the great benefits promised by that man and the promise that he would be fine, he gritted his teeth in his heart, isn't he just a declining county uncle? What's the big deal.
"Can't let him see it!" A young man in Mojia Village shouted angrily.
The secret skill of live fish in Mojia Village is the lifeblood of Mojia Village, if it is obtained by outsiders, the advantage of selling live fish in Mojia Village will be gone, and more than 5,000 people in Mojia Village will return to the hard days of hunger and hunger before, and what face do they have to go back to see the family members of Mojia Village.
They will never forget the moment when they handed over their 30 yuan a day's wages to their families, and at that moment he instantly felt that life was full of hope and future.
"What do you want to do?" Chi Zhiyong shouted, the spear in his hand was raised instantly, and at the same time, all the city gate soldiers also raised their weapons one after another, pointing at the people in Mojia Village.
Chi Zhiyong was ecstatic in his heart, he wanted to check that the original name of the Mojia Village waterwheel was not right, if the people of Mojia Village resisted, it would just give him a handle.
"Stop!" Then a loud shout came. The people in Mojia Village were automatically divided into two rows, and Morton walked out of the middle.
"Who are you waiting for?" Chi Zhiyong said sharply, in fact, he was beating a drum in his heart, of course he knew the identity of Merton, but he had observed the Mo family's convoy on the city gate for a few days.
"I am Moton, the founder of the empire, and Mojia Village is my fiefdom, a disciple of the Mo family." Merton said proudly.
"Ahh He is the son of the Mo family! And the people at the gate exclaimed.
"I heard that the Mo family's secret technique of live fish is in his hands."
"I heard that he made a grand wish in Mojia Village, to make Mojia Village from a poor village to the richest village in the Tang Dynasty."
“…………”
There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and there was a hint of mystery in the look on his face when he looked at Merton.
"You waited indiscriminately, and aimed the weapons guarding the imperial capital at the founding county uncle of the empire, who gave you such courage." Merton exclaimed.
"Ahh
Chi Zhiyong panicked in his heart, in the Tang Dynasty, the hierarchy system is very strict, especially when those founding heroes are still alive and powerful, and the title often represents power.
Without waiting for Chi Zhiyong's order, all the soldiers at the city gate put up their weapons, not daring to point their weapons at the Mojia Village group again.
Chi Zhiyong was difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, but he thought of the benefits that were about to arrive, and swore to tell him that the secret technique of live fish in Mojia Village was in the waterwheel, and gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "Please forgive the Earl, I have the mission of the Empire, and please ask the Earl to open the waterwheel."
