Chapter 986

"But I have a little request," Chai Lingwu said suddenly.

Merton nodded: "please say that Mojia village has always tried its best to fulfill the requirements of friends."

"There are thirty-six countries in the western regions. I want thirty-six courses of green dragon real medicine!" Chai Lingwu said solemnly.

"Green dragon real medicine!" Merton suddenly realized that the reason why the Chai family has the strength to violate the five surnames and seven hopes is the huge interests. The green dragon real medicine in the western regions is not only 500 Wen per piece, but represents one life after another. If the Chai family operates properly, these three or sixteen courses of green dragon real medicine are enough to protect the Chai family from being hindered in the western regions, It will bring endless benefits to the Chai family.

"Deal, in order to show sincerity, Mo can allow brother Chai to return the goods within a month." Merton Lang said.

Chai Lingwu laughed and said, "brother Mo still thinks highly of the five surnames and seven hopes. Although the five surnames and seven hopes are powerful, they are out of reach in the western regions. In China, I can get a few more boards at most. What can he do with my Chai family?"

The Chai family is a relative of the emperor. Naturally, the five surnames and seven hopes dare not do it openly. As for the western regions, there is a gap in the rights of the five surnames and seven hopes. In the face of the interests of several times and ten times, the Chai family is unwilling to compromise.

After Chai Lingwu left contentedly, Merton couldn't help but be excited. Chai Lingwu's 9000 series order was nothing to Mojia village before, but now it has become the first break after Mojia village was surrounded and suppressed by five surnames and seven hopes.

"The whip is too long!" murmured Merton repeatedly. He vaguely understood the key point of breaking the game, but it was like a fog.

"Come on, the map!" Merton roared.

Merton's voice was so loud that half of the ink house could hear it. Soon Fubo hurried here. After a while, Wu Meiniang came from her study with a huge map. Finally, even the pregnant Princess Changle came slowly.

"Shua!" the huge map unfolded. Merton looked at a lot of maps beyond this era, although they were slightly rougher than those of later generations.

The huge map even includes the areas already known by the Tang Dynasty, and even the countries in the western regions. As for the west, although Merton knows the maps of later generations, he does not encourage it, but only writes the words of Da Qin in the blank space of the West.

"Longxi, Zhaojun, Boling, Qinghe, Fanyang, Xingyang and Taiyuan." Merton marked out the family sites with five surnames and seven hopes one by one and their sphere of influence.

"What is your husband doing?" Princess Changle said curiously.

Merton said in a quiet voice, "find another place with five surnames and seven hopes for your husband."

Princess Changle shook her head and said: "It's wrong for the prime minister to look for this. The reason why the five surnames and seven hopes are so prosperous is not how much other places are directly controlled, but also the places they indirectly control. After thousands of years of inheritance, the five surnames and seven hopes have penetrated all over the country, including their family children who are officials abroad, officials who marry women in the family, officials who have passed the examination of family origin, and officials who have secretly joined in It is the sphere of influence of the five surnames and seven hopes. "

Princess Changle is the queen of the royal family. She knows more secrets. As Princess Changle keeps drawing circles on the map, she sees that the map is covered with five surnames and seven looks.

"Hiss!" Merton couldn't help but take a breath and looked at the dense circle on the map in surprise. He originally thought that the sphere of influence of Wuxing Qiwang was at most one county and radiated to the north of the Yellow River. But who knows, even the two sides of the Yellow River are under its influence. Although these officials won't listen to the aristocratic family, they won't refuse some requests of Wuxing Qiwang this time The village has been wrongfully defeated!

"What about the south of the Yangtze River? Could it be that Jiangnan aristocratic families also obey the five surnames and seven looks?" Merton raised his eyebrows. The forces of the five surnames and seven looks on the map are all over the north of the Yangtze River, but there is a large gap in the south of the Yangtze River. He couldn't help but move in his heart. Maybe the place in the south of the Yangtze River is beyond the reach of the five surnames and seven looks.

Changle shook his head and said, "Jiangnan aristocratic family has its own department. Although there is not much marriage with five surnames and seven hopes, the land in Jiangnan is extremely barren and there is not much market?"

Merton looked at Changle in surprise. In his memory, Jiangnan was a very rich place. How could it become a barren place in Changle's mouth.

With the narration of Changle, Merton suddenly realized that the two sides of the Yellow River have always been the economic center of China. At this time, although the economy in the south of the Yangtze River has improved, there is still a far gap compared with the Central Plains and the north of the Yellow River. The economic center of Datang is the north of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River is like the west of later generations.

Merton sneered and said, "the five surnames and seven looks can be miscalculated. The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm all the year round, with plenty of sunshine, evergreen trees, rich precipitation and many rivers. It is an excellent land of fish and rice. The Johor rice just introduced by Datang is enough to triple crops a year and produce several loads per mu. In less than a hundred years, the south of the Yangtze River will surpass the north of the Yangtze River and become the wealth of Datang."

"Husband means that Mojia village will mainly attack Jiangnan market in the future?" Changle frowned.

Merton nodded and said, "good!"

"But far can't quench near thirst! Even if the market in the south of the Yangtze River is vast, what about the current Mojia village a hundred years later?" Changle shook his head.

Merton sneered: "If there is no market, create a market. Now Jiangnan is financially backward, but its geographical location is superior, which shows that it has broad market prospects. Under normal circumstances, it may take a hundred years for Jiangnan to catch up with the Central Plains. However, with the help of Mohism, this process can be greatly shortened. Within ten years, as long as Mohism gives full support to Jiangnan, Jiangnan will surely catch up with the Central Plains 。”

"My husband wants to develop the Jiangnan market, but will the Jiangnan aristocratic family be willing to support the Mohist family at the risk of offending the five surnames and seven hopes?" Princess Changle hesitated.

"The most important thing of the aristocratic family is the interests. The reason why aristocratic families around the Central Plains respond to the five surnames and seven hopes and are unwilling to help the Mohist is that helping the Mohist family is not good for them. For Jiangnan aristocratic families who are eager for political and economic status, the Mohist family will go south for hundreds of miles without harm. Naturally, they will take the initiative to cooperate with the Mohist village for their own interests. I don't believe in Jiangnan aristocratic families Give up the opportunity to develop and expand yourself for the sake of five surnames and seven hopes, "Morton said confidently.

"You can really try this strategy." Changle's eyes brightened. Wuwang and Qixing are based in the Central Plains and have a weak influence on the south of the Yangtze River. The south of the Yangtze River may be the only opportunity for Mohism.

"Mohism needs the market in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan needs Mohist technology. This is a win-win situation. The key to the failure of Mohism this time is Jiangnan." Merton suddenly stood up, looked up to the sky and sighed, spitting out his depression.
