Princess Changle was pregnant. After going to the women's and children's building, she felt tired. After returning to the Mo house, she went back to her room to have a rest.
But when Merton returned to the hall, he saw that Xu Jie had already been waiting for him.
"How's it going?" Merton said with a tired face.
"Very bad!" Xu Jie said with a heavy face. "Five surnames and seven hopes have begun to work. Now half of the merchants no longer cooperate with Mojia village. However, all vehicles transporting goods from Mojia village have been subject to the strictest inventory. Most of them pick bones in eggs. If there is anything wrong, they will be detained. Even the management is useless."
"Public tools for private use! These aristocratic families are really moths!" Morton said angrily.
He had long expected that Qiwang, the five surnames, would be a black hand. At the beginning of rejecting them, Merton had already begun to order that all counties and counties with the five surnames and Qiwang would give up. Where there are children of Qiwang family with the five surnames as the chief officer, they should look for agents, and other places should be more careful.
However, he still underestimated the influence of Wuwang and Qiwang. Wuwang and Qiwang had just made a move, and the whole Mojia village had suffered heavy losses, almost instantly losing the market north of the Yellow River,
Merton took a deep breath in his airway: "recall the Mohist children outside first, and the whole Mohist village shrinks. At present, stabilize your feet first."
"Yes!" Xu Jie said solemnly. Now the most important thing is to minimize the loss of Mojia village and preserve its strength before it can survive the struggle with five surnames and seven hopes.
The most sensitive people in Chang'an city are businessmen. They are affected by the slightest disturbance. The news of the joint crackdown on Mojia village by five surnames and seven hopes immediately spread all over Chang'an City and became the most popular topic in Chang'an city.
"That's five surnames and seven outlooks!" a merchant sighed. When he mentioned five surnames and seven outlooks, he had a feeling of towering mountains. In the Tang Dynasty, five surnames and seven outlooks were the most prominent aristocratic family. When he married, he should take five surnames and women, which became the supreme honor of all officials.
Because once you go to the daughter of the aristocratic family with the five surnames Qiwang, you not only know how to be reasonable and look good, but also can integrate into the marriage circle compiled by the five surnames Qiwang for thousands of years. You will find that your Shangguan is the classmate of the brother of your wife's third uncle. Since then, the pipeline is unblocked. This is the power of the aristocratic family.
"This time, Mojia village is dangerous!"
Almost everyone silently sentenced the Mojia village to death. In the Tang Dynasty, if you offend the emperor, you may be able to escape. However, if you offend the five surnames and seven hopes at the same time, you are definitely dead.
"Why is the Mo family so unwise that they offend all the five surnames and seven hopes." a silk merchant frowned.
"You don't know that! The aristocratic family leaders with the five surnames Qiwang collectively came to the door to buy ink skills, but the Mohist family son pointed to the nose of the aristocratic family leaders with the five surnames Qiwang and scolded them as moths, hamsters and blood sucking gadflies!" an idle man suddenly came forward and whispered.
"Hiss!" suddenly everyone took a breath. How proud it is to look at the seven surnames. How can anyone point to the nose and scold? This time, the Mohist son was not wronged at all.
Of course, this is also the rumor released by the five surnames and seven hopes. Even the five surnames and seven hopes can't get out of obscurity to deal with the famous Mohist family. They only lose a little reputation, but compared with the benefits brought by subduing the Mohist family, it's nothing at all. This is a family that is profit oriented and unscrupulous.
"Well scolded!"
Of course, some people secretly applauded. For thousands of years, no one has been aware of the harm of the aristocratic family. It can even be said that the aristocratic family has committed many tragedies. However, the aristocratic family firmly controls the regime in the imperial court and stands at the top of the Tang Dynasty, and others dare to be angry.
"This time the Mojia village is over!"
No matter those who agree with or ridicule Mozi, they can't help thinking secretly.
"Do you really point to the five family names and seven looks and scold them for moths?" Fang Yiai hurried to the Mo mansion and looked at Merton with an incredible face.
"Isn't it?" asked Merton.
Fang Yiai said helplessly, "do you know that the owner of Fan Yang Lu's family is my grandfather!"
"Now I know!" Merton nodded.
Fang Yiai shook her head and said, "originally, my father wanted to beg for mercy for you. Now I'm afraid it can't be said."
Fang Xuanling is the first of all officials. If he comes forward to preside over justice, Wuwang and Qixing will not attack the Mo family so openly. However, this involves Fang Xuanling's father-in-law. If he helps Merton, I'm afraid he will be gossip.
"No! The Mohist school will not give in to anyone if soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth." Merton firmly said:
Fang Yiai sighed, "hold on first. After a while, I'll plead with grandpa!"
Merton sent Fang's love away, but he understood that there were many interests involved in the struggle, and how could it be controlled by a little family affection. Let alone Fang Yiai, even Lu's personal appearance is of no use.
Sure enough, the next bad news came one after another. The Longhai line, which was most valued by the Mohists, suffered heavy losses. The Zheng family in Xingyang was entrenched in the center of the Longhai line. However, the vehicles transporting Mohist goods were made difficult by many difficulties. If they were wrong, they would seize the goods of Mohist village. Soon, the Eastern market of Mohist village fell.
Longxi is the territory of the Li family. Lanzhou and Chencang have been occupied one after another. Under the joint sniping of many aristocratic families, the Mojia village has been defeated one after another.
"So there are only Chang'an and Luoyang markets left in Mojia village!" Merton frowned.
Xu Jie nodded and said, "Chang'an city is not only the foot of the emperor, but also the headquarters of Mojia village. At present, there is no worry. Before Luoyang, the young master and his wife went to Luoyang for their honeymoon, which was deeply welcomed by the people of Luoyang. The two places are preserved for the time being."
In fact, what Xu Jie said is only one aspect. There is another aspect. Chang'an and Luoyang are the focus of Datang. Chang'an order and Luoyang order are important officials of the court and have the confidence to refuse the five surnames and seven looks. Moreover, if they openly turn to the five surnames and seven looks, what does the court think? At least so far, the two places can maintain justice.
Rao is so. However, a group of small aristocratic families consciously kept a distance from Mojia village. The original hot goods in Mojia village were suddenly ignored, and Mojia village suffered heavy losses.
Xu Jie's heart was bleak. He couldn't help thinking of the measures taken by the Taiyuan Wang family to deal with Xu's firm. He originally thought that he would no longer fear the aristocratic family when he developed into a giant like Mojia village. However, when the forces of the aristocratic family united, he found that he was as strong as Mojia village and as wise as Mojia son, but he was also helpless and had no power to fight back.
"Is this the world of the aristocratic family?" Xu Jie took a deep breath.
