Chapter 720: A Few Families Are Happy and a Few Are Sad
With the arrival of the congratulatory stickers of the hundred schools, the entire Mofu was suddenly jubilant.
At the beginning, the biggest problem in Mojia Village was the problem of singles, with the continuous rise of Mojia Village with Mojia Village, all the young people of Mojia Village of appropriate age have been married and have children, Moton is probably one of the few singles in Mojia Village, and now Merton is finally getting married, and everyone in Mofu is finally relieved.
"The young master is finally getting married, and the master can also smile at Jiuquan in the spirit of the sky." Old Fu Bo burst into tears and wept with joy in front of Mo Lie's spiritual seat.
Li Yi, who heard the news, rushed to Mofu as soon as possible, poured three sticks of incense to Mo Lie, and said excitedly: "General, the last general finally lived up to the trust and brought Mo Dun up. ”
The two of them remembered Mo Lie for a while, and then they wiped their tears and walked out of the ancestral hall and came to the living room, where Xu Jie was reporting to Morton about the situation in Mojia Village after the New Year.
"Back to the east, now most of the industries in my Mojia Village have been on the right track, the situation is very good, orders from all over the country continue, I believe that after the big wedding of the owner, the industry of my Mojia Village will definitely go to a higher level." Xu Jie said excitedly.
Xu Jie was not worried about the marriage of Merton and Princess Changle, everyone knew that it was a matter of time, but he was more concerned about the changes that the marriage of the two would bring to Mojia Village.
"If the princess's fief is incorporated in the future, Mojia Village will suddenly triple its population, its potential will be doubled, and there will be no more development constraints." Xu Jie thought in his heart.
After all, Mojia Village only has one village, and its development potential is limited, once he marries Princess Changle, he suddenly has so much land, it can be said that there are no worries at all, and it can even be said that Merton's previous overly conservative planning can be overturned and rebuilt.
Li Yi on the side nodded again and again, and the territory of Mojia Village suddenly increased, which made him feel high-spirited.
Merton shook his head and said: "Three thousand five hundred households, is not a small number, now Mojia Village is rich, other villages are poor, the gap between the rich and the poor is large, if all of them are connected at once, I am afraid that people's hearts will be uneven, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable!" ”
"Ahh
Everyone suddenly seemed to pour a basin of cold water, sobered up from the previous excitement, and suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Since ancient times, widowhood is not poverty, if these villages are merged into Mojia Village, but the treatment of the children of the Mo family is very different, I am afraid that it will definitely cause riots, if they demand the same treatment as the Mo villagers, I am afraid that it will be brought down in a short period of time.
"Then we won't take these villages." Li Yi frowned.
Merton said firmly: "Of course, the power of a village has limited potential after all, only with a sufficient pattern, Mojia Village will have a more brilliant future, and at the same time, if it absorbs foreign population, Mojia Village will have a chance to become a real city, and many villagers in these villages are working in Mojia Village, in contrast, it is easier to accept the Mojia family's proposition." ”
The three of them couldn't help nodding their heads again and again, turning Mojia Village into a city is what Merton has been planning all along, although the current Mojia Village is beautifully built, but it is too small after all.
"However, this process should be gradual and not reckless." Merton said solemnly.
Li Yi nodded in agreement and said: "From the old man's point of view, you can build a brick road first to connect Mojia Village, and if you want to get rich, you can build a road first, which is a top priority." ”
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which has been fully practiced in the practice of Mojia Village, and has now become a famous saying of Datang to get rich, which has been recognized by everyone. The construction of the brick road led to a great increase in taxes for the cities along the route, and it was the first priority to build a road to the neighboring villages.
"Didn't Master Li just want to run a school? In my opinion, this is a great time. Fu Bojin said that now Mojia Village has improved, and the funding for compulsory education has continued, focusing on these villages, and running schools and building roads are of great benefit to these villages, which can be regarded as a statement of Mojia Village.
If you let Mo Dun enjoy the same treatment as a child of the Mo family all of a sudden, then I am afraid it will not be possible, only by slowly integrating, so that these villagers can truly recognize the Mo family, after all, there is no free lunch in the world.
Merton nodded and said: "This is a matter after the wedding, don't be in a hurry, before that, there is no need to have any contact with the other party." ”
Now that Merton and Princess Changle are not married, if they take the initiative to contact them, they will inevitably look too ugly.
"I'll understand!" Li Yi said solemnly.
Outside the south of Chang'an City, there was even more jubilation in Mojia Village, and the villagers rushed to tell each other that the news of Merton's upcoming wedding and the news that the neighboring village was about to become the princess's fief soon spread throughout Shili Eight Villages.
The neighboring villages of Mojia Village were even more cheering, Mojia Village was originally the poorest village within a radius of more than ten miles, but it became the first village in the world, it was simply rich, how could it not make the people of the surrounding villages envious and jealous.
All along, they can only be envious, who calls them not Mo family villagers? Now after the news that the villages around Mojia Village were about to become the fiefdoms of Princess Changle, almost all the villages were surprised and unbelievable.
Everyone knows that once Mo Dun and Princess Changle marry like a family, wouldn't it be logical for their village to be merged into Mojia Village, and wouldn't it mean that one day they will be like the Mo family villagers, without worrying about food and clothing.
Thinking of this possibility, the villages in the neighboring Mojia Village secretly prayed that their village could be called the fiefdom of Princess Changle.
There was jubilation on the side of Mojia Village, but the two local snakes in the south of Chang'an City were silent. Wei Du in the south of the city, the largest landlord in the south of Chang'an is the Wei family and the Du family, before this, although Mojia Village is strong after all, it is the territory of a village, if Mojia Village suddenly increases by 3,500 households, it is not much different from the population actually controlled by Wei Du and the two families, coupled with the help of the Mo family's ink skills, Chang'an Chengnan may have entered a three-legged state since then, and the strength of Mojia Village suddenly changed from the weakest Wu State to the powerful Wei State.
Changsun Mansion, Changsun Chong's room, was a mess, the smell of wine was overwhelming, and Changsun Chong collapsed on the bed drunk like mud.
"Sir!" A subordinate who was waiting for Changsun Chong saw the arrival of Changsun Wuji, who had a gloomy face, and hurriedly knelt down in fear.
Eldest Sun Wuji looked at the mud-like eldest Sun Chong, his face was cloudy, and after a long time, his face turned grim and said: "When he wakes up, you tell him that the old man will tolerate you for the last time today, if there is a next time, you will not only lose a woman, but lose the qualification of the eldest son of the eldest grandson." ”
The subordinate on the side hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the little one will definitely be passed on to the young master word for word!" ”
He has also been in the eldest grandson's mansion for a long time, so he naturally knows the character of the eldest grandson Wuji, I am afraid that he will really do what he says, if the eldest grandson Chong loses the qualification of the eldest son, I am afraid that he is not even as good as a common man's son.
In the Confucian station, although Wei Si'an looked embarrassed, he did not sink like Changsun Chong, after all, he just stole chickens and rice, and could only bury the resentment in his heart.
"Confucian journals should report this matter truthfully, without the slightest bias." Wei Si'an is unwilling, and he can only endure it, after all, this is related to the reputation of the royal family, and Wei Si'an is helpless no matter how dissatisfied he is.
"Yes!" Editor-in-chief Ma breathed a sigh of relief and said that he was really afraid that Wei Si'an would act irrationally on impulse.
All of a sudden, Merton's news spread all around Chang'an City, and suddenly several families were happy and some were sad.
