Chapter 616

"The young master is back!"

When Merton appeared in his military uniform at the door of the ink house, the whole ink house immediately became a sensation.

"Uncle Fu, Uncle Li, uncle Yu, Uncle Wang..."

Merton greeted one by one and looked at the familiar figures. He couldn't help being moved.

"There are also many villagers who want to see the young master. I didn't let them come when there are many people, so let me wait for some substitutes." Li Yilang said.

Merton waved his hand and said, "no, no, I've only been away for half a year. It's not a parting of life and death."

Fu Bo laughed and said, "although the young master is far away in Tuyuhun, the young master's achievements have been spread all over Chang'an city. Those boys also want to see the young master."

Everyone also smiled. Although Li Jing contributed the most to the western expedition, Merton was the most popular one, especially the continuous reversal of yin and Yang on the day of the decisive battle.

With the support of many Mohist villagers, Merton entered the newly dressed Mohist house! Looking at the familiar ink house, Merton's nervous tension in the past six months relaxed.

"Young master, it's hard all the way. You'd better have a rest first!" when the voice of purple clothes sounded in his ear, Merton was already sleepy.

When he woke up, Merton felt refreshed. Just when he wanted to get up, he felt a tingle all over. After a while, he recovered.

"Young master, you're awake!" Ziyi was surprised and hurriedly came forward to help Merton up and put on his clothes.

"How long have I slept?" asked Merton.

Purple clothes tooted his mouth and said, "young master slept all day and night at once. If doctor sun hadn't come to check and said you were just too tired, we would be worried!"

At the moment, the other people rushed into the room and were relieved to see Merton wake up.

"I said the young master was fine. When we came down from the battlefield, none of us had to sleep in the dark." Li Yi laughed.

Other Mohist villagers nodded one after another, but they were relieved when they saw Merton wake up.

"Thank you, uncle and uncle. Things in Mojia village are busy. You have been in Mofu all day and night. Please go back and have a rest first!" Merton said.

Li Yi and others couldn't help hesitating for a while, and a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

"Young master, actually..." Uncle Yu clenched his teeth to say something, but was pulled down by Li Yi privately. Then he stopped angrily.

Merton's heart sank suddenly. Is there an accident in Mojia village?

Seeing this, fuber had to sigh and tell the truth: "Young master, the situation in Mojia village is not good now. Since the young master went to war, almost all industries in Mojia village have emerged a number of competitors, vigorously squeezing the market share of Mojia village. Moreover, the other party wantonly poached the good craftsmen trained by Mojia village and continuously cracked the secret skills of Mojia. Although its products are not as good as those produced by Mojia village, they are almost the same."

Originally, many secrets were supposed to be held by Mohist children. However, a large number of Mohist children were taken out during the western expedition. Mohist village had to choose some people from the children of other villages to supplement them, which gave some people with ulterior motives the opportunity. The other party did everything. Many craftsmen trained by Mohist village were bought by them, and there were experts in the other party, so they cracked it The secret skill of Mohism.

"I've been crazy about sniping at Mojia village in various industries. Today's Mojia village is already under attack. If the young master didn't lay a good foundation before leaving, maybe the Mojia village could not survive now." Uncle Yu said heavily.

"All trades?" Murton frowned.

"The distillation technology of jieqianchou has been cracked, and various restaurants have launched their own high-level wine and wantonly decomposed Qianchou. Instead of saying, they slander that the food brewed by jieqianchou uses toxic food produced by pesticides, which is harmful to human body! Today's jieqianchou has a large number of unsalable products." one armed Uncle Wang shook his head and sighed.

"Although the four-wheel carriage is better, anyone can see that the brick road is about to prevail. The competition between various car and horse shops is extremely fierce. Now it's just a balance of revenue and expenditure!" fuber said.

"The secret technology of steelmaking has also been cracked by the general. If it were not steel but a sharp weapon of the country, I'm afraid it would have been spread all over the Tang Dynasty, but the changsun family may have learned the secret technology of steelmaking." Li Yi sighed.

"We worked together to keep the secret skills of snow salt, but we didn't expect your boy to make salt openly in Lanzhou. Now fine salt is everywhere in Chang'an City, almost the same as the price of coarse salt. The snow salt in Mojia village also suffered heavy losses." Uncle Yu looked at Merton bitterly. In order to keep the cornucopia of snow and salt, they tried their best, but they were leaked out by Merton.

Merton immediately looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, "is there anything wrong with the children of the Mohists?"

"Thanks to the presence of Han Fuzi, ordinary curfews dare not invade. Coupled with his Majesty's name of the first village in the world, others naturally dare not touch my Mozi children." Li Yidao.

"Han Fu Zi!" Merton nodded. Han Zheng is a great sage of Legalists. There are countless students who have taught. As long as they are not trapped in prison, the children of the Mohists will naturally be free. Han Zheng is in charge. This is the reason why Merton can rest assured to go to the western expedition.

"As long as people are all right, our Mojia village is not afraid of any opponent!" Merton said proudly.

"However, our Mojia village has a backlog of goods and serious losses. Coupled with the layout of brick roads arranged by the young master, it costs a lot. If we go on like this, I'm afraid that Mojia village will be heavily in debt." Li Yi worried and handed over the account book of Mojia village.

Merton took a look, and his face became more and more dignified. After a long time, he put down his account book and said, "so, in addition to glasses, all other industries in Mojia village have varying degrees of losses."

The crowd nodded in shame. Before Merton left, Mojia village was booming and making money every day. However, Merton had only left for half a year, and Mojia village was already heavily in debt. As for glasses, there was no loss, but the cost of glasses was extremely low. They had been controlled in underground production without disclosure, but the output of glasses was very small, and although the profit was high, it was a drop in the bucket.

"Now all the people in the Mojia village are looking forward to the young master's return and leading the Mojia village to turn the world around." Li Yi looked forward to Merton.

Other people in Mojia village also looked happy. Seeing Merton, they seemed to have found the backbone.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Merton shook his head firmly and said, "no, this time, I won't help Mojia village through this pass."

"Ah!"

Everyone looked at Merton with an incredible face.

Merton shook his head and said, "I can save Mojia village once or twice, but I can't save it all the time. Now it's only half a year, and the technical advantage of our Mojia village has not been lost. If on this basis, Mojia village can't compete with other products, there is no need for this industry."

Under the leadership of Merton, today's Mojia village can expand so rapidly with its technical advantages. Now it has lost its technical advantages, and Mojia village has failed, which makes Merton see the disadvantages of Mojia village, so he is ready to rectify Mojia village.

All the people in Mojia village were immediately ashamed. The behavior of Mojia village in the past six months was too weak, just like Xiaobai in the mall.

"Go back and tell the villagers that I will comprehensively assess the industry of Mojia village at the end of the year. For any industry with serious losses, the person in charge will be removed. The capable will go up, the weak will go down, and the fittest will survive. So will the industry and people." Merton is sonorous and powerful.

"Yes!" the people in Mojia village were shocked.

"Young master, don't worry, Mojia village will not let you down!" Li Yi clenched his teeth and promised.
