As the Confucian magazine quietly increased its length, the originally declining sales gradually stopped.

After the Confucian journals and current affairs news, there was a lot of advertisements mixed with. Although many Confucians were dissatisfied with this, they thought that the Mo Magazine was pressing step by step, and the sales of Confucian journals were declining, so they could only accept it with a pinch of their noses.

In conjunction with the promotion of the advertisements of the Confucian magazine, the shops of the aristocratic families have been discounted and promoted to attract customers. In addition, the large amount of advertising fees paid to the Confucian magazines have been reduced a lot, and the previous era of huge profits is gone forever.

However, the money of the aristocratic family was not spent in vain. Under the overwhelming advertisements of Confucian magazines, the aristocratic family's shops gradually stopped the decline. After all, the truly rich people are the elites who are intensively studying Confucianism, and they are the main force of consumption in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, Confucian magazines also specifically select the bad quality of small workshops and promote them extensively, striving to create a family workshop with good goods and high prices. Although ink magazines are cheap, most of them are counterfeit and shoddy products.

The aristocratic family deliberately instructed their servants to purchase ink magazine products. After deliberately breaking them, they reported them on Confucian magazines without claiming compensation, destroying the reputation of small and medium-sized workshops.

What's worse, some people deliberately damaged the goods and handed the paper to Chang'an County, asking Moqian to compensate for the loss of ten times. Although these were left unresolved, it also caused a lot of storm in the city, causing the reputation of Moqian shopping and small and medium-sized workshops to plummet.

"Report to Your Majesty, Chang'an City has been rumored that there are many counterfeit and inferior items in the shopping mall. Once it is revealed, it will definitely cause hidden dangers for the people in the inner palace. The Mohou will be blamed for this matter."

"Yes, for the sake of Mojia Village's quick success and instant benefits, Mo Hou ignored the safety of the people in the world."

"Your Majesty also asks you to order a thorough investigation of the shopping in Moqian and let the people of the world use something to rest assured."

After the aristocratic families and Confucian magazines caused storms all over the city, the censors of the aristocratic families even heard the news and impeached Mo Dun one after another.

"Modun, what are you going to make excuses!" Li Shimin did not have the habit of blocking the gun for Modun and directly pushed Modun to the front desk.

Mo Dun frowned and stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the goods in the ink magazine are not fake or shoddy, but how fast and easy it is, they are all good and cheap things that the people need."

"How fast and save?" Yu Zhining scoffed, "Since that's the case, what's the matter with so many inferior products on the market?"

"If there are quality problems, the people can refuse to pay, and more importantly, some goods can be exchanged within three months. Now Mocha Shopping has been in the list of exchanges for only three months. I don't know why these people don't apply for exchanges at all, unless they are damaged by humans." Mo Dun glanced at the censors deeply.

"Even if it is not counterfeit and shoddy products, these goods are produced in small workshops. They cut corners and compete at low prices, and the ink magazines are even more popular. The entire business community in Guanzhongdao was wailing, and the merchants were in great resentment. This account must be taken into account by the Mo family!" Yu Zhining angrily scolded.

"Yes, as soon as Mojiu Shopping and Kyoto Express were released, there were countless shops in Chang'an City going bankrupt, and the merchants suffered heavy losses. What should Mojiu say?" The censors replied that no matter what, the bankruptcy of so many shops was indeed inseparable from Mojiu Shopping, and the Mo family was indisputable.

Modun was silent for a moment and said: "The bankruptcy of shops in Chang'an City is certainly affected by the impact of Moqian shopping, but it is not unrelated to the high rent and living costs of Chang'an City. After all, Moqian shopping is cheap, it will not sell at a loss. Merchants will also have certain profits. The high rent and living costs of Chang'an City eat up all the profits of merchants. This is the entire reason for the bankruptcy of merchants."

Yu Zhining frowned when he heard this, "No matter what, Mozan shopping and the bankruptcy of the shop are indeed directly related."

"Malls are like battlefields. Even if there is no Moqian shopping, some businesses will go bankrupt. Not to mention the distance, even if Mojia Village is of such a size, it has been a dilemma of being on the verge of bankruptcy several times." Mo Dun said without hesitation.

The officials of the five surnames and Qiwang suddenly looked embarrassed. The Mo family's difficulties were unrelated to them several times. What embarrassed them even more was that the Mo family applied military tactics to the business war and beat them up.

"Business War!" All the officials nodded one after another. They have been eye-opening these days, including technical wars, price wars, market wars, advertising wars, business wars, and commercial war routines, which are even more satisfying than sand table military exercises.

"Even so, the Mo family owes the merchants in Chang'an City an explanation." Yu Zhining said in a rude way.

Modun had expected: "What explanation is just survival of the fittest. Besides, Moka shopping is not only an impact but no benefit to merchants."

"Hmph! Benefits? Could it be that Mo Hou is joking!" Yu Zhining mocked.

Many officials also laughed out loud. The Mo family was too thick-skinned and broke up their shops, and even said that it was beneficial.

Modun explained: "I don't know that Moqian Shopping is not only the ordinary people's version, but also the merchant version. The merchant version publishes workshop prices. In the past, merchants often had to travel hundreds of miles to purchase goods. It took more than half a month to buy goods. It also required hiring manpower workers, carriages, and food, drinks and accommodation. That was a considerable fee. With the Moqian Shopping Merchant Edition, merchants only need to book on Kyoto Express and just sit in the shop, Kyoto Express will deliver the goods to the store door. It is delivered directly by the manufacturer, with the lowest price. The merchant's cost is reduced, and even if the price is reduced, it can benefit a lot."

"Merchant version!" The officials were stunned. They did not expect that the Mo family would have this trick. In this way, it was indeed beneficial to the merchants. In this era, transportation was inconvenient, and long-distance travel was not an easy task.

With the merchant version of the Ink Shopping, merchants can save ten days and half a month of practice every time they purchase goods. Compared with the expenses along the way, the little freight of Kyoto Express is simply negligible.

"The lowest price is, it's not the inferior goods with poor quality!" Yu Zhining mocked.

Modun looked around and said proudly: "In this world, it is not only high prices that mean good goods are the best. What determines the price is the labor time workers spend on goods to determine."

"World Hou Mo was joking?" Many officials were surprised. This was the first time they heard about it, and they all doubted.

Mo Dun looked at the confused Tang elite, and suddenly felt superior and said: "If you don't believe it, you may be a little clear after listening to this story written by Mo Zi."

"Mozi's secret writing!" All the officials couldn't help but listen. They might have some opinions about Mozi, but no one questioned Mozi, especially the popular Mozi's secret writing, which was thought-provoking and made people look forward to it. Unfortunately, Mozi's secret writing was revealed little by little like squeezing toothpaste.

Mo Dun said aloud: "It is said that when Mozi was a teenager, he did not like reading and often threw bamboo rolls to play. One day, the young man Mozi met an old woman with white hair by the river. She sat on a low stool on the whetstone, holding a very thick iron pestle in her hand, grinding it on the whetstone with her expression focused. Even if the young man Mozi looked by her for a long time, she didn't notice it.

The young man Mozi asked, "Old lady, what are you doing?"

"Grind the needle!" the old lady replied without raising her head, still grinding the iron pestle in her hand seriously.

The young man Mo Zi said in surprise: "But what you are holding is a huge iron pestle, the needle is thin and small. Can such a thick iron pestle be ground into a needle?"

The old lady said while grinding: "Yes, the iron pestle is thick and big, and it is difficult to grind it into a needle, but I keep grinding it every day, and one day, I will grind it into an embroidery needle."

The young Mozi was deeply moved and said with a sigh: "As long as you have a deep skill and grind an iron rod into a needle, is this the case in the world?"

So the young Mozi worked hard to achieve success and eventually founded the Mo family and became a scholar of the hundreds of schools of thought."

"As long as you work hard, you can grind an iron rod into a needle!"

As soon as these words were said, the entire court officials suddenly became silent. They were in high positions, so they naturally understood this sentence better than others. It was not because of their natural luck, but because they had to put in too much effort than ordinary people, and eventually grinding the useless iron pestle into an embroidery needle.

"I admire Mo Zi's great wisdom." Li Shimin sighed.

The others nodded one after another, and Mo Zi once again did not disappoint them.

"This statement can certainly inspire students all over the world to work hard!" Kong Yingda sighed. Confucius' words and deeds have always been role models for students all over the world to follow, but Mo Zi's words are no less than Confucius.

"Thank you for your recognition of the Mo family. Mozi's feelings have indeed benefited a lot, but there is another feeling below." Mo Dun sighed, "In the era of Mo Sheng, how expensive should embroidery needles be, so that the old woman can grind needles with an iron pestle."

"The embroidery needle is so expensive!" The officials were stunned and angrily scolded Mo Dun. The Mo family's words suddenly interrupted their insights. One was to work hard and strive for success, and the other was to be stinking and indecent. It was simply a difference between the mud and the hearts of everyone.

"Mo Bian once said that everything can be viewed in two ways. The boy's view is not wrong, and we are not discussing the price of goods." Mo Dun said weakly with his ministers' bad eyes.

The ministers then remembered that they were discussing the price issue, but they were actually taken apart by Mo Zi.

"You can imagine that it takes several years for the old lady to grind into an embroidery needle. The price is probably at least one hundred cents!" Mo Dun said aloud.

The ministers were silent. It was extremely cheap to pay her hundreds of cents after spending three years.

"The forging technology of the Tang Dynasty is extremely mature. As for the casting needles, the best blacksmith can forge eighty pieces in a day, so the price of the embroidery needles in the Tang Dynasty is one cent per cent."

The ministers were moved. According to Modun, it was indeed that the less time it took to make goods, the cheaper the goods were.

"A penny, the price was before." A censor snorted coldly. He happened to hear his wife and daughter happily say that the price of embroidery needles had dropped sharply.

Mo Dun nodded and said, "What this adult said is right. The price of embroidery needles has dropped sharply because the needle casting workshop uses the latest ink technology and assembly line of the Mo family. Now a person can make a total of 1,000 needles. Not to mention a penny, even ten penny, those workshops will not lose money!"

"One Thousand Rods!" Everyone took a breath. It has to be said that the Mohist Mo technology has become a decisive factor in controlling prices. In recent years, prices in the Tang Dynasty have generally declined, which is directly related to the widespread application of Mohist Mohist.

"You guys can imagine that an old lady grind an embroidery needle for a few years, which is worth at least a hundred cents. An ordinary workshop can make eighty embroidery needles a day, and an embroidery needle is worth one penny. A workshop that uses ink skills can make thousands of needles a day, and a penny can buy ten. It can be seen that the less time we spend on manufacturing goods, the cheaper the price, not as high as things, but as low as the quality is poor."

The censors looked at each other, and they were naturally not inferior to anyone who was chewed in words, but they were confused about these economic knowledge and could not distinguish them at all.

Only Dai Zhou looked at Mo Down deeply, and all officials believed that Mo Zi realized that as long as he practiced a deep skill and grinded an iron rod into a needle was a famous saying, and contained great knowledge.
