Mohist Tang

Cao Xueqin described Jia Baoyu and said: “hate iron for not becoming steel!”

Although it is a description of people, it can still be seen that iron and steel are in the ancients. mind status.

Especially in the Great Tang era, the annual output of iron is extremely limited, and steel is even more rare, usually about five times the price of iron, and it is usually directly supplied to the military, usually There is no market.

So when Mohist Village uses steel essence as a special part, the four-wheeled carrier made by manufacture appears in Chang’an City, it will cause such a sales frenzy.

As long as the children of Mohist Village point to the four-wheel Carriage suspension and the four-wheel truck wheels are made of steel essence, this business has almost been completed.

You must know that in Great Tang, which monopolizes steel in this country, the four-wheeled Carriage with steel components is almost as valuable as gold and silver in later generations.

While the four-wheeled Carriage of Mohist Village is popular in Chang’an City, the news that Mohist Family possesses the secret of steelmaking has spread throughout Chang’an City.

“Master! The manager of Zhangsun Family wants to see you!” Xu Jie reported in Mohist Residence.

“Zhangsun Family? Are you sure?” Mo Dun questioned, knowing that Mo Dun and Zhangsun Chong’s relationship is not good. For two consecutive actions against Mohist Family, Zhangsun Chong was fanning the flames and piercing the needle. .

“If I return to the Master, I have done business with the manager of the Zhangsun Family, so I naturally recognized the manager of the Zhangsun Family.” Xu Jie confirmed that it was not only the manager of the Zhangsun Family, but also the leader of the Zhangsun Family. The foreign affairs manager has a large amount of store business in Zhangsun Family, and a large amount of iron materials bought and sold by the Mohist Family are the goods from this manager.

Mo Dun thought for a while. I dont know what Zhangsun Family means at this time. Nodded said: “Let him in.”

“Zhangsun Quan pay respects to Lord Marquis Mo! “

Under the leadership of Xu Jie, a 40-year-old Jin Yi middle-aged man walked in and saw Mo Dun bowing in salute.

“Zhangsun takes care of things without courtesy!” Mo Dun said. Although Sect Chancellor is a former Seventh Rank official, with Mo Dun’s current status, there is no need to pay too much attention.

“I came here today and wanted to do a business with Lord Marquis Mo.” Zhangsun Quan said.

“Business? The business of Mohist Village has always been the responsibility of Xu Shopkeeper, Zhangsun Shopkeeper can ask Shopkeeper for anything!” Mo Dun was puzzled.

Xu Jie was also uncomfortable for a while, Zhangsun Quan is really supercilious, and even went over him to do business directly with the Master.

Zhangsun Quan shook his head and said: “This business may not be the master of Shopkeeper and Zai.”

“I wonder what business Zhangsun Shopkeeper is talking about?” Xu Jie was unhappy. Dao,

“Steelmaking secrets!” Zhangsun Quan seriously said

Xu Jie was shocked, if he could supply steel, but the secrets of steelmaking he would be powerless. The foundation of the Mohist Family.

“Zhangsun Family wants the secret technique of steelmaking?”

Mo Dun narrowed his eyes and looked directly at the Zhangsun Family’s outhouse in front of him. Obviously this steelmaking The secret technique is what Zhangsun Family wants.

Zhangsun Quan proudly said: “It’s not a desire, but a cooperation. The Zhangsun Family controls Great Tang’s largest iron trade. The Mohist Family has the secrets of steelmaking. The cooperation between you and me is just a match made in heaven.”

For Zhangsun Quan’s proposal, Xu Jie couldn’t help but move from the sidelines. From a business perspective, it was a win-win situation.

“As far as I know, steelmaking does not seem to be a difficult task for Zhangsun Family. If Zhangsun doesnt understand things, A certain Mohist can tell the steelmaking method one after another. Whether it is Hundred Refinements steel or speculation steel, even if it is the method of filling steel, A certain Mohist will give it all. Mo Dun said.

Steelmaking methods have existed since ancient times. I believe Zhangsun Family impossible does not know these methods.

Zhangsun Quan shook his head and said, “Why should Lord Marquis Mo understand and pretend to be confused? These steelmaking methods are of course not a secret to the Zhangsun Family. What Zhangsun Family wants is the latest refinement of the Mohist Family. The steel secret technique, that is, the tall round furnace in Mohist Village.”

Mo Dun suddenly heart startled, staring sharply at Zhangsun Quan. This Blast Furnace is made by Mo Dun according to the earth method of later generations. Steel was transformed. Although the quality of steel produced by local steelmaking in later generations was not high, it was only in the case of seeking instant benefit.

The Blast Furnace transformed by the Mohist Family has already overcome it. These shortcomings, more advanced than the most advanced steel filling method of this era, save time and labor, and double the tapping rate are the biggest secrets of Mohist Village.

The ordinary person only knows that Mohist Village has the secret of steelmaking, and Zhangsun Family can clearly tell the shape of the Blast Furnace. Obviously, there is a dark line of Zhangsun Family in Mohist Village.

“Zhangsun Family, do you know a lot?” Mo Dun coldly snorted.

Zhangsun Quan is not ashamed but proud to say: “In Chang’an City, Zhangsun Family doesn’t know much about it.”

Mo Dun and Xu Jie’s faces suddenly became embarrassed. . Zhangsun Family’s snooping behavior is really rude.

“Lord Marquis Mo, don’t be angry. The Mohist Family has the best steelmaking secrets. It’s no secret in Chang’an City.” Zhangsun Quan said in a evasive manner.

Mo Dun took a deep breath, knowing that it was inevitable. Since Mohist Village has recruited foreigners, there must be some secrets that cannot be kept away.

Fortunately, the steelmaking furnaces are all in the center of Mohist Village. Outsiders can’t restore the steelmaking method even after seeing the shape. The real technical core is in the hands of Core Disciple of Mohist Village.

“Zhangsun may have misunderstood things. Since Mohist Family has secret skills, it is not necessary to value one’s own old broom. When the right time is right, Mohist Village will definitely announce the secret skills like live fish. “Mo Dun said.

Of course, impossible is released for free. The art of steelmaking is related to the country’s fundamentals. When the time comes, it is Mohist Village. With better steelmaking technology, of course this low-level steelmaking will be spread. Technology is also selective, and will kill them fiercely. Of course, these later things will not be explicitly said to Zhangsun Quan now.

“I think Lord Marquis Mo misunderstood! If Lord Marquis Mo spread the secrets of steelmaking, the price of steel at that time might not be much more expensive than iron.” Zhangsun Quan shook his head and said.

Things are precious. When the time comes Great Tang’s blacksmiths will do the art of steelmaking. The price of that steel will definitely drop. When the time comes, where will the profit come from?

“The meaning of Zhangsun Family!” Mo Dun questioned.

The cooperation that Zhangsun Family wants is to cooperate with Mohist Family at this moment. If Lord Marquis Mo agrees, the steelmaking secrets of Mohist Village can be preserved forever. Lord Marquis Mo thinks about it. Great Tang Only you and me own the steel, so what a profit. “Zhangsun Quan depicts a fascinating scene. As the Great Tang highest family, Zhangsun Family wants to capture high monopoly profits.

“Zhangsun manages this matter, value one’s The own old broom is not in line with the concept of Mohist Family. “Mo Dun shook his head.

“Lord Marquis Mo, please think about it. If this happens, the Mohist Family will get the friendship of the Zhangsun Family, and even the conflict between the Mohist Family and the Gongshu Family Wang Family. , Zhangsun Family can also mediate from it. “Zhangsun Quan said.

Mo Dun hearing this hehe said with a smile: “You seem to be unable to do this kind of thing! “

Zhangsun Quan laughed, and said without embarrassment: “As long as Lord Marquis Mo is nodded, naturally there are people with enough weight to talk with Lord Marquis Mo in detail. “

The only people who can say enough weight in front of Mo Dun are Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Chong. Of course, this kind of thing is impossible for Zhangsun Wuji to come forward, and then only Zhangsun Chong.

“It’s a pity, it’s an honor for Mohist Family to be able to make friends with Zhangsun Family. Mohist Family’s policy has been set, impossible to change day by day. “Mo Dun sighed in a long voice.

There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. Faced with the high profits of steel, even the Zhangsun Family can’t help but be tempted.

Mo Dun didn’t expect Zhangsun Chong to be a supporter of the Gongshu Family on one side, and on the other side he was thinking of paying attention to steel. The appetite was too big.

Zhangsun Quan persuaded him again and again, and Mo Dun resolutely shook his head and denied it.

“That being the case, Zhangsun Family wants to buy a batch of steel from Mohist Village. “Zhangsun Quan said in retreat.

“That’s okay, as long as Zhangsun Family doesn’t sell or use these steel materials among rivals competing with Mohist Village. “Mo Dun pointed out.

Mohist Villages competitor is only the Gongshu Family, and now the Gongshu Familys large-scale imitation iron pot and four-wheeled Carriage lack only suitable steel.

p>

Especially all the steel materials for shock absorbers, it is the combination of hardness and flexibility, which is the highest technology of Mohist Village.

Zhangsun Quan hearing this suddenly lags, suddenly Knowing that the intentions of Zhangsun Family were detected by Mohist Family, they fly into a rage out of humiliation and said: “Can the Mohist Family eat alone? “

Zhangsun Family wanted the secret technique of steelmaking for four rounds of Carriage. The four rounds of Carriage of Mohist Village suddenly half a month hundred thousand. The turnover is really amazing, even Zhangsun Chong. I couldnt help but feel moved.

Mo Dun hearing this said with a sneer: “The Mohist Family has developed its own steelmaking secrets. Its right to eat alone. It seems that Zhangsun Family wants to reap without sowing. Not a good habit! “

Zhangsun Quan said with a sneer: “Steel is good, but it is also made of iron. Since Mohist Family wants to eat alone, don’t blame Zhangsun Family A Tooth For A Tooth.” “

“Zhangsun don’t take care of everything. Mohist Family has become Zhangsun Family’s largest customer. When the time comes, it is not only Mohist Family that suffered losses. “Xu Jie anxiously said.

” Xu Shopkeeper is wrong, and Zhangsun Family’s iron materials never worry about selling. “Zhangsun Quan said with a sneer.

Whether its Zhangsun Wujis position or Zhangsun Familys monopoly in Guanzhong, Zhangsuns business has never been worrying. Without Mohist Family, Isnt there a Gongshu Family?

“Does the Zhangsun Family want to cut off the iron supply for Mohist Village like the Wang Family of Taiyuan? “Mo Dun coldly snorted and said, these Aristocratic families are accustomed to snatching, unscrupulous use of their power for their own personal gain.

“It is not that Zhangsun Family is not benevolent, but Mohist Village is continuously buying iron materials on a large scale. The amount is so large that it is horrible to see that iron is a national treasure, and Zhangsun Family bears the emperor’s grace, so it is natural to share worries for the king. “Zhangsun Quan said triumphantly.

Xu Jie also had an ugly face, and he thought of his own Lady (Clan) Trading Company in such a situation where the power of the Lady (Clan) Trading Company was unable to fight back. Hold tight.

Mo Dun couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He is not an ordinary ignorant boy. The iron material that Mohist Village recently bought is more than enough to build 10,000 swords. Zhangsun Quan used this as an excuse to get stuck in Mohist Family. The iron supply is not afraid of making trouble in the Tai Chi Hall.

“I hope Lord Marquis Mo will consider it carefully. It is not easy for Mohist Village to develop this way. Don’t delay the great future. If Lord Marquis Mo agrees, Zhangsun Family will guarantee the Mohist Family and guarantee the iron supply of Mohist Family. “Zhangsun Quan faint smile.

The meaning of Zhangsun Quan is very obvious. If Mohist Family agrees to cooperate with Zhangsun Family, then naturally these are not obstacles. If Mohist Village does not agree, then for the safety of the country, Then only the iron supply from Mohist Village will be stuck.

“Mohist Village’s iron supply and steel sales have records, just and honorable, and I am not afraid of anyone to check. “Xu Jie scolded angrily.

“It is your business to be afraid, Zhangsun Family can only consider. “Zhangsun Quan faintly smiled and said.

Xu Jie immediately turned his gaze to Mo Dun, unconsciously, Xu Jie has already identified with Mo Dun and made him the backbone.

” Considered, and the Mohist Family will never do anything against its promise. “Mo Dun said loudly.

“I hope Lord Marquis Mo will not regret it. Zhangsun Quan took a deep look at Mo Dun, arched his hand and turned to leave.

“Young Master! “Xu Jie looks pale, he knows that the biggest selling point of Mohist Family’s four-round carriage business is steel essence. If there is no iron supply, wouldn’t the four-round carriage business be sloppy.

” confront soldiers with generals and stem water with earth, take this opportunity to make use of the previous contacts and buy more iron materials for later use. “Mo Dun waved his hand and said.

“It’s a bit more expensive, so it’s okay. Priority is given to guaranteeing the supply of four rounds of Carriage. “Mo Dun added another sentence.

“Yes, Young Master! “Xu Jie replied.

In Zhangsun Residence.

Zhangsun Quan stood in front of Zhangsun Chong respectfully, without omission and in detail before the trip to Mohist Residence Tell me about it before and after.

“Mohist Family Son? “Zhangsun Chong is coldly snorted.

Zhangsun Chong is different from Wang Zhe. He is proud, but he will not disregard interests for the sake of face, and he has a greater heart. Not only is he four-wheeled Carriage, but he even wants to deal with steel. Share a piece of the pie.

“Young Master, Mohist Family Son not only refused to cooperate between the two companies, not to mention eating alone, but also pointed to Zhangsun Family reap without sowing, which is really supercilious. “Zhangsun Quan hates sound channel.

“reap without sowing? “Zhangsun Chong’s face was immediately embarrassed.

Zhangsun Chong is the highest dude in Chang’an City, but no one has ever dared to speak to him like this.

“Mohist Family has the best Do you use the Imperial Court people to let Mohist Family Son hand over the steelmaking secrets? “Zhangsun Quan said insidiously. As long as the Mohist Family handed over the steelmaking secrets, Zhangsun Family would be sure to get them.

Zhangsun Chong shook his head and said: “How can the same trick be used twice, let alone Mohist Family Son has a very good relationship with the military, just like the secret skills of a live fish. Once it is announced, which one can replicate the miracle of Mohist Village.

Once the secret technique of steelmaking is revealed, Zhangsun Family can obtain it, and others can also obtain it. When the time comes is like the secret technique of living fish, everyone knows that if you want to use steel to reap huge profits, then It’s impossible, at most hard money.

“Eating alone? I’ll show you what is eating alone! The order continues, the Mohist Family has reached the upper limit for iron purchases. After the iron flow is not ascertained, Zhangsun Family’s iron shop will no longer ask Mohist Family sells iron materials, and at the same time tells other iron companies this, I believe other iron companies know how to do it.” Zhangsun Chong coldly snorted and said.

Zhangsun Family is the No. 1 nobleman in Chang’an City. Zhangsun Railway Company even occupies 70% of Chang’an City. Other iron companies are relying on Zhangsun Family to live their lives, plus Zhangsun The hats buckled by the Mohist Family of the Family are really not small, and they will naturally not disobey the meaning of Zhangsun Family at this time.

Suddenly, Chang’an City made a comeback.
