In front of the west gate of Chang'an City, there was an endless stream of carriages loaded with goods, and the brick road that could run eight carriages side by side still seemed a little crowded.
"I didn't expect that the whole Chang'an City would be so prosperous after leaving Chang'an City for half a year. Such a wide lane is not enough so soon." Merton couldn't help sighing at the busy scene on the brick road.
Although the official road in the west of Chang'an city is the main official road connecting Chang'an City and Luoyang City, it has adopted high-standard eight lanes before construction, which was more than enough at the beginning of the year. Now it is really a little stretched.
Xu Jie nodded and said, "young master, I don't know. Since the western expedition, the imperial court has issued huge orders. Almost all businessmen in Chang'an Luoyang are crazy. Only with the continuous expansion of various workshops can there be today's scene."
Merton nodded. War is indeed the most effective means to stimulate industry. The war of the western expedition consumed countless materials and almost hollowed out Datang. Naturally, it was cheaper for many workshops. Of course, Mojia village also benefited a lot.
However, Xu Jie said with a bitter smile: "at the beginning, Mojia village can still win orders with ink technology, but since the young master left Chang'an City, it seems that the technology of many workshops has been improved almost at the same time overnight, and the advantages of Mojia village have been lost almost at the same time. I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable if there were not some public praise."
These workshops in Merton in Chang'an city are not exposed. Once Merton leaves, he immediately and impolitely plagiarizes the secrets of the Mohist school, digs Mohist technicians at a high price, collects the business intelligence of the Mohist school, and tacitly excludes the Mohist village, causing the Mohist village to lose a large number of orders. During the six months since Merton left, Xu Jie can be said to have had a hard time.
Merton nodded and pointed out: "it is in the interests of the Mohists to focus on the people! As for the orders of the imperial court, only the ones with the highest technical requirements. There is no need to involve too much with the imperial court. Don't make quick money. Some orders will be lost if they are lost."
For the imperial court, the relationship of Mohist village is weak and troublesome, and it is easy to be grasped. However, for the people, with the improvement of Mohist image, there is still a brand market, and the majority of the people are the real headquarters of Mohist.
"Understand!" Xu Jie replied.
"Young master! I've found it!"
Fuber hurried to Merton and whispered.
Merton's eyes flashed, "where is it?"
"Southeast Industrial Park!" fuber affirmed.
The southeast Industrial Park, which was originally proposed by Merton to move out some polluting workshops in Chang'an City and build an industrial park built of brick roads, Xu Jie couldn't help looking a little moved. At the beginning, the workshop in the southeast Industrial Park was the most powerful one, and most of the orders in Mojia village were robbed by these workshops.
Merton waved his big hand and said, "go and visit this expert!"
They got on the carriage and drove along the straight brick road. Soon, they turned directly to the southeast. I have to say that Su County Magistrate did a good job in the industrial park. The brick road is also eight lanes with a large number of trucks, but the brick road is extremely flat and does not conform to the official road in the south of the city.
Moreover, after the Mohist motorcade turned to the southeast official road, it was found that there was no reduction in trucks and carriages. A considerable part of the goods were pulled to the industrial park. At the same time, a batch of goods were pulled out to Chang'an City and Luoyang City.
The industrial park is located ten miles southeast of Chang'an city. It is not far away. The carriage runs smoothly all the way. It has arrived in about a quarter of an hour.
"The Mohist school is coming!"
When Merton stepped into the first step of the industrial park, the news immediately spread to all workshop merchants.
When Mojia Zi returned to Chang'an City, it was almost a sensation in the whole city. Naturally, it is well known. Mojia Zi's return represents that the time when the Mojia village has no head is over. I'm afraid the days when they wantonly suppressed the Mojia village will never return. After all, Mojia Zi belongs to catfish, but it is well known in the whole city. Mojia Zi can not only toss, but also have sharp teeth, It hurts when you bite back.
Of course, relying on the forces behind them, they are naturally not afraid to quarrel with Mojia village, but they did not expect that Mojia Zi should take the initiative to come to the industrial park, which is a panic for some people with ghosts. After all, many of their secret recipes are plagiarized from Mojia. In the past six months since Merton left, these workshops rely on low prices, Frantically seizing the market belonging to Mojia village.
He stole other people's things and robbed other people's market. Now the owner's family suddenly came to the door. It is inevitable to feel guilty.
In particular, the craftsmen dug up from Mojia village felt guilty. At the beginning, they were just ordinary craftsmen with the lowest wages. Mojia village not only gave them high salaries, but also made their status rise sharply, and they were treacherous.
"Pay close attention to every move of Mohist school!" almost all workshop owners issued the same order.
After all, all the people in Chang'an City have seen the method of turning their hands into clouds and covering their hands into rain. Almost all the workshops are in full readiness to pay close attention to the movement of Mojia village.
"This is the blast furnace to be supervised?" Merton asked, pointing to an unusually tall blast furnace on the right. Even if it is far away, the bursts of black smoke from the blast furnace can be clearly seen.
Xu Jie nodded and said, "yes, that's the blast furnace to be supervised. According to the news, today's blast furnace to be supervised has been cracked, and there are many masters to be supervised who are not inferior to Uncle Zhang. Although the refined steel is not as good as the production of Mojia Village, I'm afraid it will catch up with him soon.
In addition, there are many four-wheel carriages on both sides of the park for people to buy. The price is as low as 30% of that of Mohist carriages. Naturally, Chang'an people come to buy.
"So many low-cost carriages are listed, and now I have a great impact on the carriages in Mojia village." Xu Jie frowned.
Merton said expressionless, "to ensure the quality, we can't damage the brand of Mohist carriage. As long as the brand doesn't fall down, Mohist village can be invincible."
"Yes!" Xu Jie nodded, but he knew that this road would not be easy. At least in a short time, the situation of Mojia village would be very difficult.
Along the way, Merton carefully inspected the industry in the industrial park and found that it was a replica of another Mojia village. Almost all the industries in Mojia village exist here, and there will even be several. Together with other workshops, its scale is no less than the industrial corridor from Mojia village to Chang'an city planned by Merton.
"Ahead is the residence of this expert!"
Under the leadership of fuber, Merton and his party came to a very messy small workshop, which was very inconspicuous among the small and medium-sized workshops.
But who could have thought that this was the final place where the secret skills of Mojia village were leaked. Almost all the ink skills of Mojia village were cracked here and finally revealed.
