Chapter 418: Every Village is Householded
"Let's go! The villagers should be in a hurry! Merton stood up.
Everyone nodded and got up to follow, only Xu Jie and Han Zheng were confused.
However, when the two of them walked out of the Mofu with everyone and saw the black pressure of Mojia Village people on the Mozi Square opposite, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Yi smiled and said to the two: "This is the tradition of Mojia Village, at the end of each year, all Mojia Village must hold a general meeting, and each household has one person as a representative, which is an annual event in Mojia Village." ”
The two of them suddenly looked at the Mozi Square opposite, where ten square teams were neatly arranged, and each square team was more than 100 people.
The two of them suddenly realized.
"Hello young master!"
Seeing Merton and his party coming out, everyone in Mojia Village shouted one after another.
Merton responded with a smile, greeting some of the villagers from time to time.
In front of the villagers, a row of rostrums had been arranged, and Merton led everyone to the front of the stage and motioned for everyone to sit down.
And he stood in the middle, stretched out his hand, and immediately the audience fell silent, and suddenly Merton's powerful appeal was undoubted.
Merton looked around, and suddenly found that the position he was standing in happened to be the place where Merton had climbed the stone pier to promise the Mojia villagers, although the surrounding dilapidated houses had been demolished, Merton could still recognize it.
Morton suddenly smiled and said loudly. "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, more than a year ago, I promised you here that I would let everyone live a good life, let Mojia Village get rid of poverty and backwardness, let you wait for you to not suffer from hunger and cold, so that the young men of Mojia Village can marry daughters-in-law, today, I have come to fulfill this promise."
As soon as Merton's words fell, the audience immediately laughed, Merton's promise was just a joke by everyone, who would have thought that it would all be fulfilled in just one year.
Recalling the days of hunger and cold, and looking at the rich life in Mojia Village today, many emotional people can't help but burst into tears.
"In the past year or so, I know how hard you have worked, and today is finally the day of our harvest." Merton stood tall and said proudly.
"Uncle Li, why don't you announce the results of the past year." Merton said to Li Yi.
Li Yi nodded, solemnly picked up the report in his hand, and said loudly: "In the past year, the live fish business in Mojia Village has earned 2,000 yuan, chickens, ducks and geese cubs have earned 5,000 yuan, farm tools have earned ......, four-wheeled carriages have earned ......, and wineries have earned ......."
Li Yi started counting from the live fish in Mojia Village, and every time he said something, it would make the entire Mojia Village people shout for a while, especially the four-wheeled carriage and wine shop business, which was an astronomical amount, which made the people of Mojia Village exclaim in amazement and couldn't believe it.
Even everyone on the rostrum was dumbfounded, no one could have imagined that a village could earn so much money, only Xu Jie had been handling the business of Mojia Village, and he had an approximate amount in his heart.
Han Zheng sighed again and again, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty except for the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the imperial court, such a large amount can be said to be unprecedented!
He couldn't help but look at the expressionless Mo Dun next to him, in the face of such a huge amount of wealth, his face did not change, and the Mo family, who was famous in Chang'an City, really lived up to his name.
In fact, under the table that he couldn't see, Merton's legs trembled even more, such a large amount, Merton was just an otaku in his previous life, how could he not be touched in his heart.
Li Yi also shouted enthusiastically, and then said: "The expenses of Mojia Village are as follows, 5,000 yuan for building new houses, 13,000 yuan for building factories, warehouses and shops, and 20,000 yuan for laying brick roads!" ”
The huge expenses made everyone feel like they were on a roller coaster, falling from the top of the mountain to the trough, which was thousands, tens of thousands of dollars!
However, this is not over, Li Yi trembled and said: "The granary expenditure is 38,000 yuan, the salary expenditure is ......, the cost of iron and wood is ......, and the other expenses are ......."
Everyone in Mojia Village suddenly felt like blood in their hearts, when Mojia Village was poor, they couldn't wait to break it in half and spend it, but now it is tens of thousands of dollars to take out!
When it came to other expenses, everyone couldn't help but glance at Merton, it was obvious that this other must be Merton's spending in the Western Regions Event, and Li Yi had left a fig leaf for Merton.
"Buy 50,000 bonds from the Ministry of Civil Affairs! Pay 95,000 in taxes! Li Yi's voice was hoarse, and he trembled.
Xu Jie's eyes flashed when he heard the tax payment, such a huge amount of tax is probably unprecedented in Datang!
The commercial tax of Datang is very low, but the bulk of the tax paid by Mojia Village is the wine shop tax, which is the four taxes that Moton took the initiative to ask for.
"Mojia Village has a total balance of 1,500 yuan, a dividend of 5,000 yuan, and a subtotal of 10,000 yuan!" After Li Yi finished speaking, his body suddenly became weak, watching such a huge amount of money come out of Mojia Village, even if he had fought thousands of troops and horses, he was not so frightened today.
A group of people in Mojia Village were stunned, if they learned that Mojia Village had 10,000 yuan of money a year ago, they might have been ecstatic, but now that they heard that such a large amount of money was spent from Mojia Village, they suddenly felt that this more than 10,000 yuan seemed to be nothing.
Even if you count the deposit of 5,000 yuan for each dealer of Xie Qianchou, Mojia Village has lost at least 40,000 yuan now.
"Mo Jiazi, ruined family!" In everyone's hearts, Merton's famous name for Chang'an City appeared. can spend so much money in a year, and still owe 40,000 yuan, which is simply a loser of Tianzi No. 1.
What's even more amazing is that everyone now doesn't feel at all about owing 40,000 yuan, as if they owe 40,000 yuan and can pay it back tomorrow.
Han Zheng put down a few strands of beard in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction, too much money will only invite trouble, Merton's move is the safest way, if Merton is like a miser and hoards money, I'm afraid Han Zheng will turn around and leave.
Merton smiled slightly in his heart, everyone in the world said that wealth needs to be accumulated, but wealth is like water, and only the wealth in circulation can be as clear as living water, and it will never dry up.
Li Yi put down the report in his hand, looked at everyone, and said hoarsely: "In the latest Chang'an County evaluation, there are thousands of households in Mojia Village, and every household is superior!" ”
"A thousand households!"
"Haha, I'm also a family."
Everyone in Mojia Village was suddenly boiling. In the evaluation of the Tang Dynasty, according to the amount of taxes paid, it was divided into upper, middle and lower counties, and in each county, each household was also divided into upper, middle and lower three households, and the upper household referred to the wealthy family.
"Every village is a household! Unprecedented in the ages! Li Fuzi said proudly.
