"But the little brother has a small request." Chai Lingwu said suddenly.

Merton nodded and said, "Please say, for my friend's request, Mojia Village has always tried its best to fulfill it. ”

"There are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, I want thirty-six courses of Qinglong true medicine!" Chai Lingwu said solemnly.

"Qinglong True Medicine!" Mo Dun suddenly realized that the Chai family had the confidence to violate the reason for the five surnames and seven hopes, that is, huge benefits, the Qinglong True Medicine in the Western Regions is not just five hundred Wen per stick, but represents a life, if the Chai family operates properly, these thirty-six courses of Qinglong True Medicine are enough to bless the Chai family to run rampant in the Western Regions, and 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 said loudly.

Chai Lingwu laughed and said: "Return, Brother Mo still looks down on the five surnames and seven wangs, although the five surnames and seven wangs are powerful, but they are beyond the reach of the whip in the Western Regions, in the country, Lao Tzu will suffer a few more meals at most, and he can still take my Chai family." ”

The Chai family is a relative of the emperor, and the five surnames and seven hopes naturally dare not start openly, as for the Western Regions, it is a blank place for the rights of the five surnames and seven hopes, and the Chai family is unwilling to compromise in the face of several times and dozens of times the interests that are about to arrive.

After Chai Lingwu left satisfied, Mo Dun couldn't help but be excited, Chai Lingwu's 9,000 orders were nothing to Mojia Village before, but at this moment it became the first breakthrough in Mojia Village after being surrounded and suppressed by five surnames and seven wangs.

"The whip is out of reach!" Merton muttered this sentence repeatedly, vaguely understanding the key point of breaking the game in his heart, but it was like a layer of fog shrouded.

"Come on, come on the map!" Merton yelled.

Merton's voice was very loud, half of the Mo Mansion could hear it, and soon Fu Bo hurried over, and after a while, Wu Meiniang came from the study, holding a huge map, and finally even Princess Changle, who was about to give birth with a big belly, came over slowly.

"Huh!" The huge map unfolded, and Merton looked at the maps that were slightly rougher than those of later generations, but they were already beyond the many maps of his time.

On the huge map, it even contains the areas that the Tang Dynasty has explored, and even the countries of the Western Regions are also included, as for the westernmost part, although Merton knows the map of the later generations, he does not pull out the seedlings to help grow, and only writes the words Daqin in the blank space of the west.

"Longxi, Zhaojun, Boling, Qinghe, Fanyang, Xingyang, Taiyuan." Merton marked the family residences and spheres of influence of the five surnames and seven wangs one by one.

"What is Xianggong doing?" Princess Changle asked curiously.

Merton said in a condensed voice: "For the husband, find a place where the five surnames and the seven wangs are out of reach." ”

Princess Changle shook her head and said: "It is wrong for Xianggong to look for it like this, the reason why the five surnames and seven wangs are so prosperous is not how much other places they directly control, but also the places they indirectly control, the five surnames and seven wangs have already penetrated all over the country after thousands of years of inheritance, including the children of the family who are officials outside, the officials who marry women in the clan, the officials who are admitted from the clan, and the officials who have secretly taken refuge, can all be called the sphere of influence of the five surnames and seven wangs." ”

Princess Changle is the queen of the royal family, knowing more secrets, as Princess Changle kept drawing circles on the map, I saw that the map was densely packed under the shroud of five surnames and seven hopes.

"Shhh Mo Dun couldn't help but gasp, looking at the dense circles on the map in surprise, he originally thought that the sphere of influence of the five surnames and seven wangs was at most a county, and the radiation was north of the Yellow River at most, but who knew that even the two banks of the Yellow River were under its influence, although these officials would not obey the words of the family, but they would not refuse some of the requests of the five surnames and seven wangs, this time the Mojia village was unjustly defeated!

"What about the south of the Yangtze River? Could it be that the Jiangnan family also obeys the five surnames and seven hopes? Morton raised his eyebrows and said, the forces of the five surnames and seven wangs on the map are all over the north of the Yangtze River, but the south of the Yangtze River is a large blank, and he can't help but move in his heart, maybe the land south of the Yangtze River is the place where the five surnames and seven wangs are beyond the reach of the whip.

Changle shook his head and said: "Although the Jiangnan family is self-contained, although there are not many marriages with the five surnames and Qiwang, the land of Jiangnan is extremely barren and there is not much market?" ”

Merton looked at Changle in surprise, in his memory, Jiangnan was an extremely rich place, how could it become a barren land in Changle's mouth.

With Changle's narration, Merton suddenly realized that all along, both sides of the Yellow River are the economic center of China, although the economy of the south of the Yangtze River has improved, but compared with the Central Plains and the north of the Yellow River, it is still far behind, the economic center of the Tang Dynasty is north of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River at this moment is like the west of later generations, a barren.

Merton showed a sneer and said: "The five surnames and seven hopes can be miscalculated, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm all year round, the sunshine is abundant, the trees are evergreen, the precipitation is abundant and there are many rivers, it is an excellent land of fish and rice, the Johor rice that Datang has just introduced is enough to crop three times a year, and the yield per mu is several quintals, or in a hundred years, the south of the Yangtze River will definitely surpass the north of the Yangtze River and become the wealth of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"What does Fujun mean that Mojia Village will focus on the Jiangnan market in the future?" Changle frowned.

Merton nodded and said, "Not bad! ”

"But far water can't quench your thirst! Even if the Jiangnan market is vast, it will be a hundred years later, what will happen to the current Mojia Village? Changle shook his head.

Merton sneered: "There is no market, then create a market, now Jiangnan is financially backward, but the geographical location is superior, that shows that its market prospects are broad, if under normal circumstances, Jiangnan to catch up with the Central Plains may take a hundred years, but with the help of the Mo family, this process will be greatly shortened, within ten years, as long as the Mo family fully supports Jiangnan, Jiangnan will definitely be a thousand miles a day, catch up with the Central Plains." ”

"Xianggong wants to open up the Jiangnan market, but will the Jiangnan family be willing to risk offending the five surnames and seven hopes to support the Mo family?" Princess Changle hesitated.

"The most important thing for the family is interests, the reason why the families in the Central Plains respond to the five surnames and seven hopes, and are unwilling to help the Mo family, is because there is no benefit to them to help the Mo family, for the Jiangnan family who are eager for political and economic status, the Mo family goes south for them for a hundred miles and no harm, they will naturally take the initiative to cooperate with the Mojia Village for their own interests, I don't believe that the Jiangnan family gave up the opportunity to develop and grow themselves so much for the sake of the five surnames and seven hopes." Merton said confidently.

"It's a real way to try." Changle's eyes lit up. The foundation of the five hopes and seven surnames is in the Central Plains, and the influence on Jiangnan is weak, and the land of Jiangnan may be the only opportunity for the Mo family.

"The Mo family needs the market in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan needs the technology of the Mo family, which is a win-win situation, and the key to breaking the situation of the Mo family this time is in Jiangnan." Merton suddenly stood up, looked up to the sky and sighed, and spit out the depression in his heart.
