Chapter 159: The number of military commanders is limited
Mo Jiuye was holding a letter in his hand.
"This was written by Fei Nanyu. Find a safe place to read it later."
Exiled prisoners are not allowed to correspond with anyone. Even though Peng Wang takes care of them, Mo Jiuye doesn't want to be too ostentatious when doing things.
He Zhiran was anxious to know the contents of the letter. Coincidentally, her fifth sister-in-law came to help, so she temporarily handed the place over to her fifth sister-in-law and took Mo Jiuye back to the tent.
There wasn't much in Fei Nanyu's letter.
He first thanked the two for helping him protect Nanny Fei, a favorable witness.
He also promised that he would properly arrange a hiding place for Nanny Fei. If his identity were ever revealed to the world, the first thing he would do would be to clear the Mo family of their grievances.
The two of them did not just look at the surface of the letter.
In the letter, Fei Nanyu said "thank you two for helping him protect Nanny Fei", which shows that Fei Nanyu appreciated it.
Finally, he mentioned that he wanted to help the Mohists clear their grievances, which meant that he knew that the entire Mohist family was unjustly exiled, and it also showed that he intended to win over the Mohists.
Mo Jiuye has now completely lost confidence in the imperial court. As long as the Mo family can redress the injustice, he will be satisfied.
As for more, he never thought about it.
Both of them knew this history, and choosing to help Fei Nanyu was selfish after all.
Judging from the current developments, the way in which the Mohists redressed their grievances may well be different from the historical records.
No matter what, things are moving in a good direction, which is something that both Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran are happy to see.
He Zhiran directly put the letter into his space, and the two of them continued to prepare lunch for everyone as if nothing had happened...
For three consecutive days, the city gates and docks remained blocked, and more and more officers and soldiers entered the city to search for Nan Heng's whereabouts.
The news of Nan Heng's disappearance was also sent to the capital at full speed.
Nan Heng left Beijing under the pretext of investigating the Salt Gang's strengths and weaknesses.
There is no doubt that in the mind of Emperor Shunwu, Nan Heng’s disappearance is definitely related to the Salt Gang.
The actions of the Salt Gang were too rampant, so rampant that they dared to attack a prince. This was something Emperor Shunwu could never tolerate.
To this end, he decided to send someone to lead an army of 10,000 to the salt lake area, on the one hand to find the whereabouts of Nan Heng, and the most important goal was to completely destroy the salt gang's lair.
As a result, when the matter was brought up for discussion at the morning court, no one volunteered to lead the team.
There were only a handful of military generals in the entire Golden Palace.
Originally, there were members of the Mo family guarding the border, so some military generals had the opportunity to stay in the capital and serve.
Now the entire Mohist family has been exiled, and several generals on the border have resigned.
Seeing this situation, the enemy began to get restless and would send troops to harass from time to time.
For this reason, Emperor Shunwu could only select some military generals in the capital and send them to the border.
As a result, the number of military generals in the capital became fewer and fewer, and the few remaining ones who appeared in the morning court were all veterans and inexperienced newcomers.
Emperor Shunwu was furious because of this, and he unconsciously recalled the scene when the Mohist father and son were all there.
It was also about wiping out the Salt Gang. Back then, when he just called out, Mo Yunfeng immediately volunteered to lead the team. Now that the Mo family is gone, he is in a situation where no one is available.
However, Emperor Shunwu did not think there was anything wrong with punishing the Mohists.
Compared to the Mohist School's ambitious plans, which kept him awake all day, he was more concerned about the current situation...
In the end, it was an old general named Jin who volunteered to rush to the Salt Lake, which barely calmed Emperor Shunwu's anger.
In contrast to Emperor Shunwu's rage, the sounds of joy could be heard in the suburbs upstream of the salt lake.
The women have successfully produced the first batch of panda, bear and duck dolls.
Which woman could resist the temptation of these cute dolls? Everyone looked at the dolls they made with their own hands and laughed so happily for the first time.
He Zhiran was very satisfied with the doll's style and workmanship.
She and Mo Jiuye rushed to the teahouse to meet Tang Mingrui as scheduled.
After seeing the three kinds of dolls, Tang Mingrui's eyes immediately lit up, especially the giant panda doll that looked so cute that even a grown man couldn't put it down.
"Mrs. Mo, is this an iron-eating beast?"
He Zhiran also likes panda dolls. Their adorable appearance makes people feel soft-hearted when they see them.
“I once saw a ferruginous beast in a book and thought it looked cute, so I tried to make it.
Also, I felt that the name Iron-eating Beast was not very appealing to girls, so I changed its name to Panda."
"Panda, this name is really appropriate and nice." Tang Mingrui praised without hesitation.
Then, Tang Mingrui looked at the teddy bear and the little yellow duck and was very satisfied with them.
Especially the teddy bears. He Zhiran brought a total of twenty, and each one wore different clothes, creating a different feeling for these identical-looking teddy bears.
The little yellow duck is tender and yellow, and is also very adorable.
After Tang Mingrui carefully looked at each doll, he asked solemnly:
"Mrs. Mo, these dolls are all fine. How about we discuss the details of the cooperation?"
He Zhiran knew that Tang Mingrui was an expert in business, so she decided to give the initiative to him temporarily and listen to his opinions first.
"When it comes to doing business, Mr. Tang is more experienced. Why don't you tell me your suggestions first?"
Tang Mingrui did not refuse.
"Sister Mo, the price that the embroidery room is selling this doll for is three taels of silver each. I think it's quite reasonable, but I don't want to sell it at that price.
After all, the materials that Mrs. Mo uses to make dolls are made by foreigners, so the quantity must be limited. In other words, the number of dolls you can provide me is also limited.
When the materials are used up, these dolls will no longer be available, so I am thinking of selling them at a higher price."
He Zhiran also felt that what Tang Mingrui said made sense.
Although she can buy unlimited fabrics for making dolls in Taobao Mall, it is impossible to explain to these outsiders.
She also knew one thing: this kind of doll business could not be sustained in the long run.
"According to Master Tang, what is a reasonable price for the doll?"
Tang Mingrui stretched out his hands and said, "I want to sell the dolls for ten taels of silver each."
Ten taels?
He Zhiran really admired Tang Mingrui. Ten taels of silver converted into modern currency would be ten thousand yuan.
A small doll is worth so much...
Seeing that He Zhiran didn't say anything, Tang Mingrui thought that he was frightened by the price he mentioned, and hurriedly explained:
“Mrs. Mo, the number of dolls is limited, and we can only choose wealthy people to do business with.
If I do this, the sales may not be very fast, but the profits will definitely be considerable.
What's more, we will pass through several cities on our way to the northwest, and I believe such a good and unique doll will definitely be in high demand."
Although He Zhiran didn't know much about business, he could still thoroughly understand the logic of Tang Mingrui's analysis.
At the same time, she also fully agreed with the latter's idea.
