Chapter 690: New Mojia Village
After the end of the court, hundreds of officials left one after another, and they were all worried.
Although the effect of the second push will not be immediately apparent, everyone knows that it will be difficult for the huge family to continue to maintain, and I am afraid that the separation of the family will be inevitable in the future.
Once the current pattern of five hopes and seven surnames is broken, I am afraid that there will be only one surname in Datang that is the most prominent, and that is royal.
However, everyone understands that the end of the second Tui'en is already doomed, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the Tui'en Decree to the feudal princes, knowing the final outcome, they are powerless to change.
In the apse, Mo Dun silently followed behind Li Shimin, and after the hundred officials dispersed, Li Shimin left the Mo family.
"It's all their own sons, why is there such an injustice, and there are still people who are desperate to defend it?" Li Shimin suddenly asked leisurely.
Merton couldn't help but be stunned, thought for a while and said, "Maybe in some people's hearts, the prosperity of the family is the first priority!" ”
"If it were you, what would you do?" Li Shimin turned to look directly at Merton.
Merton was still young, where did he think of this, and after a while, he said: "The kid thinks that sitting back and enjoying it will only harm future generations, and the kid even hopes that his title is not hereditary, but lifelong, so that if future generations want to be prosperous and rich, they need to work their own, which is the most correct way to inherit." ”
Li Shimin glanced at Merton in surprise, he didn't expect Merton to answer so radically.
"Knighthoods for life?" Li Shimin couldn't help but groan, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
If everyone forges ahead, competes for meritorious service, and receives a knighthood for meritorious service, it has a lot of benefits for the imperial court, and it does not cost much, this article can be considered to be added to the title system of the Tang Dynasty.
"As for the property, I'm afraid the kid will not be a descendant! Just let it have no worries about food and clothing! Merton waved his hand.
"Aren't you afraid that the sons will have opinions?" Li Shimin was puzzled.
Merton suddenly said proudly: "The property that Weichen has worked hard for, he can pass it on to whoever he wants, nothing is born to belong to whom, this kind of thinking of sitting back and enjoying the results without hard work can only be cultivated into a gentleman." ”
Li Shimin was not only moved in his heart, but he still very much agreed with Merton's words, and he was not the eldest son himself, and he took the throne by force. In his heart, he did not approve of the primogeniture system, which was the reason why he immediately implemented the second tuien.
Li Shimin's eyes softened a little when he looked at Merton, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you still want to follow the example of Fang Xiang and prepare to donate your money." ”
Mo Dun suddenly smiled shyly, waved his hand and said: "The kid doesn't have such great ambitions as Fang Xiang, the kid may prepare some more money to use to take out a part of it every year to reward outstanding students in future generations, this person may be a child of the Mo family who studies the latest ink skills." Or a Confucian child who wrote beautiful poems, or a medical child who overcame incurable diseases! And so on, but everything that benefits the country and the people, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and over time, my Tang hundred schools of thought will surely prosper. ”
Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up, watching the Mo family become more and more satisfied, although Merton's idea was beneficial to the Mo family, it also benefited Datang a lot.
"Is this much better than giving a huge fortune to your offspring and raising generations of gentlemen?" Li Shimin affirmed.
Of course, Merton only talked about the future vision, but did not explicitly say the benefits at the moment, now the major families of the Tang Dynasty have been inseparable from Confucianism, firmly tied together, in the court, the most noble family in the world is not the five wang seven surnames, Qufu Confucius family is not famous.
These families are a group of extremely greedy power monsters, greedy for power, and at the same time there is a great effort to grab wealth, only the great family represented by Confucianism gradually splits, and the Mo family, which represents the interests of the common people, has a chance to breathe, otherwise it will only become a vassal of the family, and become a tool to make money.
"Money touches people's hearts! Some people become slaves to money and are driven by desires, while others are masters of money and use money to fulfill their dreams. Merton said proudly.
Li Shimin nodded undeniably, but instead diverted the topic and said: "I heard that the expansion of Mojia Village cost 130,000 yuan to build, I don't know if it is the slave of money or the master of money." ”
Morton suddenly said bitterly when he heard this: "It is not only money that can make people slaves in the world, but also reputation, when His Majesty personally named Mojia Village as the first village in the world, the people of the whole village were ecstatic, everyone was grateful to His Majesty, and decided to live up to His Majesty's expectations, this is the radical situation, regardless of the actual situation of Mojia Village, the expansion of Mojia Village, fortunately, everything is in danger, and now Mojia Village has finally been built." ”
"Done?" Li Shimin smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and said, "It just so happens that the scenery in this palace, I am tired of seeing it, the cost of 130,000 yuan must be beautiful, I happen to be fine tomorrow, I will also go to visit, I don't know if it is convenient for ink festival wine!" ”
Merton's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "The kid can't ask for it, Your Majesty is fortunate to be in Mojia Village, and Mojia Village will definitely be flourishing." ”
Li Shimin waved his hand, and Morton bowed down and retreated, originally he wanted to see Princess Changle, but now he had to give up.
………………
"What! Your Majesty will come to Mojia Village tomorrow! In the Mo Mansion, Fu Bo was surprised and delighted.
Merton nodded and said: "This time, Your Majesty is fortunate to visit Mojia Village this time, this time is not only an opportunity for the Mo family, but also a test for the Mo family, and the Mojia Village must not be disgraced in front of Your Majesty." ”
"But the young master was not originally scheduled to return to the village tomorrow to participate in the Mojia Village Conference, or I will go and inform Li Yi and ask him to postpone it, and be sure to welcome Your Majesty." Fauber said anxiously.
Morton shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, what Your Majesty wants to see is the real Mojia Village, not cheating, inform Li Yi that this time Your Majesty is visiting Weifu, and it will not alarm too many people, so that he must clean up the expansion of Mojia Village, and everything else will be carried out normally." ”
Merton knew that Mojia Village was able to flourish because of Li Shimin's care. It can be said that it is inseparable, and today it is only possible to let Mojiacun display it truthfully and hand over an answer sheet worthy of Li Shimin
As night approached, the lights in Mojia Village were still bright, and the Mojia villagers were in full swing to do the final repair work, even Li Yi on the side was not idle, and participated in the labor together.
Soon, the last piece of ground was leveled and compacted! A large number of villagers paved it with red bricks.
"It's finally done!" Li Yi wiped a handful of sweat and gasped.
"When the young master comes back tomorrow, he will definitely be surprised!" One villager said happily, while the other villagers looked proud.
Ordinary villagers just knew that Merton was going back to the village tomorrow, but Li Yi knew that it was not only the Mo family who came back with Merton, but also His Majesty Li Shimin.
Li Yi looked around, looked at the Mojia Village shrouded in darkness, and couldn't help but show a trace of excitement, in order to expand the Mojia Village, they began to suffer a lot of twists and turns, and now everything has paid off handsomely.
After waiting for the dark night, a new Mojia Village will appear in front of the world.
Stunning the world!
