Mohist Tang

When a large number of Great Tang Imperial Censor followed the Western Regions Emissary and left, the news that Great Tang was about to open monitoring Zhiguan City instantly spread throughout Changan City, and It spread to Great Tang at a rapid speed.

Countless Chang’an City merchants suddenly became a sensation, one by one to be wild with joy, gathered together to discuss spiritedly, and the reopening of Jianzhiguan City soon became Chang’an City after the military parade. The second hot topic.

“I thought that when Pei Ju opened Jianzhiguan City in Zhangye, the entire Western Regions Foreign Merchant, upon hearing the news, my Great Tang merchants were not far behind and gathered in Zhangye. The price of silk rose by 30% overnight. In a few years, Zhangye has become an important town in the northwest, and the previous period has been very profitable. An old Shopkeeper said with a look of nostalgia. Those years were simply a feast for businessmen. As long as it was a business man who went to Zhangye, whether it was Great Tang merchants are still Foreign Merchants, and they return without fail. There are many well-known merchants in Chang’an City, most of which developed and expanded during that period.

However, the time for such profiteering was too short. After the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Silk Road was blocked again, and Zhangyes position suddenly dropped a thousand zhang in one fall, and it quickly declined and would never be prosperous again. Jing, how can we not let everyone to be wild with joy this time when we re-opened the city.

“It is said that this time it is not just a city in Zhangye, but a city adjacent to other countries will have a city of Jianzhiguan, which can communicate with other countries, and its scale is several times that of the previous dynasty.” A well-informed middle-aged businessman said excitedly.

“Your Majesty great generosity!” Everyone suddenly sighed. Once the city opens, a feast of wealth is about to begin, and the Spring of Great Tang merchants is coming.

In an instant, various workshops in Chang’an City immediately expanded their production, preparing for the reopening of Jianzhiguan City, the Southwest Industrial Zone, and the industrial corridor from Mohist Village to Chang’an City. It is the preparation materials for staying up all night and working overtime.

As the news continued to spread, the Great Tang silk system gradually spread. After everyone gradually understood the benefits of the Great Tang silk system, they couldn’t help but admire Mo Dun’s wisdom.

However, Jianzhiguan City is a great benefit to other merchants, and they are very happy, but for the silk merchants, it is an empty joy. They originally thought that after the Silk Road was unblocked, the silk The value will surely double, but who would have thought that in Jianzhiguan City, only silk from the Weaving Bureau is allowed to circulate, and silk from other origins cannot be sold in Jianzhiguan City.

“Wei Patriarch, you have to call the shots for us!” In Wei’s home in the south of the city, a group of silk merchants gathered, filled with righteous indignation.

The Weijia in the south of the city is the largest cloth merchant in Chang’an City. It is mainly engaged in silk and has something to do with the Imperial court. Now that the Great Tang silk system is announced, the silk merchants have been excluded and let them How can you be willing.

“Mohist Family Son is really bully intolerably!” Wei Patriarch said angrily. Although the Great Tang silk system benefited from the Great Tang Imperial Court, it was proposed by Mohist Family Son. Wei Patriarch naturally did not dare to The grievances were vented on the Imperial Court, and the grievances could only be directed at Mo Dun.

“Master Wei, you have a relationship in the Imperial Court, can you let the Imperial Court relax?”

“Yes, since ancient times, the officials and the people compete for profit, the Imperial Court Im afraid its wrong!”

“As a result, Im afraid I will suffer heavy losses!”

_______

A group of silk merchants prayed.

Everyone knows that once the Great Tang silk system is implemented, the sales of silk will surely soar. On the surface is beneficial to these silk merchants, but now the Imperial Court stipulates that Jianzhiguan City can only sell silk from the Weaving Bureau , I am afraid that only raw silk will rise, but silk farmers will benefit, and they, silk merchants, have increased costs in disguise.

That is to say, merchants all over the country have benefited from the Great Tang silk system, but they are the only ones who are happy for nothing. Instead of making a profit, they have lost their profits.

Wei Patriarch naturally has more news than others. He naturally knows that the Great Tang silk system not only wants Great Tang to obtain more rights and interests in silk, but more importantly must be in order to Paving the way for the coming cotton era, thereby reducing the loss of mulberry farmers.

Of course, Wei Patriarch was impossible to help Mo Dun speak, but hit a person when he’s down said: “This matter has been approved by the three provinces and six departments. What can the old man do? And as far as I know, Mohist Family Sons intentions are even more sinister. It not only excludes me from the Great Tang silk system, but also secretly cultivates the Western Regions white dice, which has now been successfully cultivated. In a few years, Mohist Village will dominate the Great Tang cloth. In time, there will be no place for me as the Great Tang silk merchant.”

“Bai Diezi!”

A group of silk merchants were suddenly surprised. They were in the Great Tang market. Above, the price of Bai Diezi is not inferior to silk, and everyone naturally knows its value.

At the Western Regions event, Mo Dun paid a lot of money for cotton seeds. It is well known all over the world, and they naturally heard about it, but no one expected Mohist Village to have results so soon.

As for whether cotton is beneficial to the country and the people, they dont care. However, Mo Duns move has actually further compressed the profit margins of silk merchants. Cutting off peoples wealth is like killing their parents. How can these silk merchants? Can not hate Mo Dun in my heart.

“Mohist Family Son!” Almost all silk merchants gnashing teeth, said bitterly.

Wei Patriarch’s heart is coldly snorted. Since Mohist Family Son has damaged his interests, don’t blame him for creating a group of enemies for Mohist Village.

After sending away a group of silk merchants, Wei Patriarch couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. Other silk merchants were in a bad situation, and the Wei family was also the first to bear the brunt. Since the longevity son sold the secret printing and dyeing skills, the Wei family’s advantage has been lost. After all, now that the proceeds of the Silk Road are impaired by the Imperial Court to catch everything in one net, the Wei family’s situation is even more difficult.

“Father, what shall I do now!” Wei Sian frowned and walked in from the backyard.

Wei Patriarch frowns saying: “In the short term, the price of silk in Great Tang is stable, and the Wei family is not damaged much, but my Wei family also needs to plan ahead. Learn Mohist Village to lay out cotton in advance.”

Wei Sian heart startled and said: “The layout of cotton, now the cotton seeds are in the hands of Mohist Village, I want to grow cotton, don’t I want Mohist Village to bow my head.”

Wei Patriarch coldly snorted and said: “Bow your head to Mohist Village? That’s not necessarily!”

Wei Sian looked at his father in a puzzled manner. Wei Patriarch glared at his son and asked, “Do you think Mohist Village? Where did the cotton seeds come from?”

“Father said Gaochang and other countries!” Wei Sian suddenly said.

“Yes, the imperial envoy who went to Gaochang this time had an old relationship with the Wei family. My father has asked him to transport a batch of cotton seeds back to Gaochang for the Wei family. I believe there will be good news next year. It came. After the Wei family also owns the cotton seeds, they immediately searched for famous craftsmen to crack Mohist Village’s weaving crafts. If Mohist Family Son does not exaggerate, the income of cotton will be as good as silk.” Wei Patriarch’s eyes flashed, those Silk merchants only saw the continuous decline of the silk industry, but did not realize that another huge industry of cloth merchants was about to rise. If the Wei family lays out ahead of schedule, the future profits will be substantial.

“Father is wise!” Wei Sian was suddenly surprised. He didn’t expect his father to have a future.

“By the way, there is news in Chang’an City that many dignitaries are preparing to form the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce and are preparing to take the Silk Road. I wonder if my father is interested.” Wei Sian said.

“Western Regions Chamber of Commerce?” Wei Patriarch immediately eyes shined.
