Chapter 420: Eight Years of Zhenguan
The first day of the eighth year of Zhenguan, the first day is also the Spring Festival of later generations.
According to custom, Chinese New Year's Eve requires a night of observance, and the Mojia villagers in Mojia Village who keep a New Year's night are not sleepy at all, and they have come out to visit relatives and friends.
At the entrance of Mojia Village, four-wheeled carriages are neatly placed.
On the carriage, the brides who had just married into Mojia Village were extremely excited, and they made an appointment to rush to Chang'an City today, which was a special benefit for the newlyweds.
"Every year during the Spring Festival, Chang'an City is very lively, today Chang'an City Jinwu can't help it, we enter Zhuque Street directly from the south city gate, that is the most prosperous street in Chang'an City." On a carriage, Yu Er personally drove the carriage and said proudly to his daughter-in-law.
The second bride of Yu suddenly yearned, for the prosperous Chang'an City, she only heard about it in the mouths of others, and now that she is finally able to go in person, her mood is naturally different.
"We first visited Suzaku Street, visited the East Market in the morning, visited the West Market in the afternoon, and ate at the Yuzhuangyuan Building at noon. Today's fish-shaped building, but specially entertained you! Yu Er introduced in detail.
The second bride of the fish said arrogantly: "What's there, I haven't eaten the dishes you cooked." ”
"That's it!" Yu Er said dotingly.
"Look, that's the young master! Could it be that the young master also went to Chang'an City? Yu Er's bride suddenly looked at the figure of Merton behind her, pushed Yu Er's wide back, and whispered.
Yu Er nodded and said, "Today is the first day, and some human contacts in Chang'an City are naturally inseparable from the young master. ”
In the carriage at the rear, Merton asked Fauber, "Have you prepared the gifts for the families?" ”
"Young master, don't worry! The gift to Chang'an City has departed yesterday, and it is believed that Moda has already sent it to various prefectures. "Fauber Road.
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, the Mo Mansion was empty, and naturally it was not cleared with other mansions, but since Mo Dun had already lived in the Mo Mansion in Chang'an City, the previous relationship between Mo Dun's father naturally had to be consolidated, and above the court, many people helped the Mo family a lot, so they took this opportunity to return the gift.
"I believe that this time the gift of Mojia Village will definitely be able to satisfy everyone." Merton said secretly smugly in his heart.
This time, the main gift of Mojia Village is glasses, the elderly are sent reading glasses, those with myopia are sent myopia glasses, and the young people are given sunglasses, plus a few boxes of collector's editions of the solution to thousands of sorrows, all of which are native products of Mojia Village, which are beneficial and not costly.
"Let's go!"
Merton waved goodbye to Li Yi and the others who saw him off, and the long Mo family convoy quickly galloped away in the direction of Chang'an City.
Looking at the village that was getting farther and farther away, Merton sighed in his heart, this was originally his closest place, but now he can only stay for a day or two before returning to Chang'an City.
When the motorcade of Mojia Village entered Chang'an City, the brides of Mojia Village couldn't help but look curiously at the majestic and tall city walls and the lively streets, and they were all excited.
On the Vermilion Bird Street, the people are boiling, the people of Chang'an City, who have been busy for a year, have come to the street to welcome the arrival of the new year, the Taoist temple is even more incense, people are vying to pray for blessings, seeking prosperity in the new year.
"Wishing you prosperity!" On the street, the people congratulated each other.
When the long motorcade of Mojia Village passed by, everyone couldn't help but pause, and a louder discussion came at random.
"If it's wealth, it's still the most prosperous in Mojia Village!"
"There are thousands of households in Mojia Village, and every household is of the highest quality, who would have thought that Mojia Village would be a treasure land of feng shui."
"I have earned so much money in a year, not to mention a feng shui treasure, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cornucopia."
……………………
The people of Chang'an City looked at the long convoy of Mojia Village, and they all said with envy, and they all secretly hated why they were not born in Mojia Village.
It was not that the news of the Mojia Village Conference reached Chang'an City, but that Moton had no intention of keeping it secret, and directly published the financial statements of Mojia Village in the Mojia Village in advance, and publicly issued them in Chang'an City on the day of the Spring Festival.
As soon as it was released, it immediately caused an uproar in Chang'an City, and no one thought that Mojia Village would be able to earn such money in a year.
"What's the use of good fortune! No matter how prosperous it is, it can't stand the Mo family's flowers! Mo Jiazi, a loser, has spent so much money, not to mention, counting the deposit, he still owes tens of thousands of yuan. A middle-aged man in brocade dressed as a landlord looked at the ink magazine in his hand, and his heart was dripping blood, which was even more painful than spending his money.
The surrounding people also twitched, how many people in Chang'an City had tens of thousands of family wealth, and Mojia Village spent so much that it owed tens of thousands of yuan, even if it was just to throw money.
A Confucian scholar looked up to the sky and sighed, and said bitterly: "Last year, the Mo family once had a poem: I was born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone." At that time, I thought that Mo Jiazi was exaggerating a little in order to write poems, but now it seems that Mo Jiazi is wrongly blamed, and he has scattered more than a thousand gold! ”
When the people around heard this, their faces suddenly looked strange, and when they heard what Confucius said, and then thought of Mo Jiazi's poems, they suddenly made people speechless and looked at the sky.
"What is tens of thousands? Xie Qianchou is so hot, which dealer is willing to give up the distribution right and ask for the deposit back. A merchant next to the landlord in brocade snorted coldly.
Xie Qianchou can be said to be the best-selling wine in the entire Tang Dynasty, during the Chinese New Year, it can be said that there is no price in the market, and now Chang'an City which powerful people are proud to drink Xie Qianchou, and the dealer Zheng Qian and the two families of Guannei Road have already made a lot of money.
Everyone does not doubt this, not to mention the rest, with 50,000 yuan of civil bonds in hand, Mojia Village is naturally full of confidence.
Mojia Village can make money, and Mojiazi can spend money even more, and he is willing to spend money, and suddenly the image of Mojia Village has deepened in the hearts of everyone.
On the carriage, a group of brides from Mojia Village watched the people of Chang'an City pointing at the convoy of Mojia Village, and from time to time one or two words of Mojia and Lore came into the car, and couldn't help but snicker.
Yu Er suddenly smiled bitterly, regarding the reputation of his young master, it seems that he can't get rid of it.
On the carriage, Fu Bo listened to the gossip outside the car window, and couldn't help but secretly look at the young master with a dark face, and quickly changed the topic: "Young master, Mojia Village wants to recruit workers, and this requirement is a little higher!" ”
In addition to the 1,000 households in Mojia Village and the behavior of Moton's defeated family were hotly discussed by the whole city, what caused a greater sensation was the recruitment notice of Mojia Village.
Not to mention the superior wages in Mojia Village, it can also provide medical care at half price, and it can also allow children to go to school for free, no matter which one is exciting.
Of course, the conditions in Mojia Village are also a little stricter, especially those who can read and count, which is difficult for a large number of people.
"Although there are not many people who know how to read and count, there will always be some." Merton's face softened slightly, how can anyone who reads in the Tang Dynasty be an official, there will always be some people who can read and count like pearls in the dust of the people. Confucianism selects the most elite group, and the rest is the Mohist.
Confucianism takes quality, Mohist goes volume, it is not yet known who has the advantage.
"Besides, the Mo family didn't give those Bai Ding opportunities, the night school in Mojia Village has always been open to them for free, and only when they realize the value of knowledge can Li Fuzi's school be opened!" Merton said with a hint of slyness.
For ordinary people, going to school is a waste of money and time, and it is better to let children help with farm work at home, be half a laborer, and do handy, which is really real.
The purpose of Merton's move is to make ordinary families realize that there is another way to go to school besides becoming officials.
