"If you want to get rich, build roads first,"

Li Shimin repeated this sentence in his mouth, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.

Pang De on the side nodded and said: "Eighteen villages in the south of the city jointly sued Mojia Village for destroying the official road, and Mojia Village and Chang'an County agreed that every year in the future, the conscription of Mojia Village will contract the official road in the south of the city, and then Mojia Village will pass on the secret of getting rich." ”

Li Shimin sighed: "The world has always been spying on the way to get rich in Mojia Village, but I never thought that even if you sit on Baoshan empty, if the transportation is inconvenient, I am afraid it will be similar to mud and sand." ”

Li Shimin has a deep understanding of this, and since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Tang has always attached great importance to road construction, and one of the key points of the annual conscription is the repair of official roads.

In particular, Chang'an City is an international metropolis in itself, with convenient transportation and well-developed roads.

Pang De hesitated for a moment and continued: "According to the legend of Mojia Village, there is another sentence after this sentence. ”

"Oh!" Li Shimin suddenly became interested and asked curiously.

"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, have more children, and grow more trees." Pound's subdued and frustrated reading even rhymed unusually.

"Have more children and more trees!" Li Shimin read this several times, and couldn't help laughing.

Pound shook his head and laughed involuntarily on the side.

I have to say that Merton's limerick is indeed very appropriate, the Tang Dynasty implements the uniform field system, which is to grant land according to the average population, and more children can naturally grant more land, and manpower is the most important labor force in this era, and the family is prosperous, and many times it means that the labor force is sufficient and the family is rich.

As for a variety of trees, since the popularity of disposable chopsticks in the Tang Dynasty, the consumption of wood in Chang'an City is simply a terrifying number, the price of wood can be said to have been rising, and the transportation of wood in this era is difficult, usually the nearest materials, if there are a large number of trees around Chang'an City, it is indeed a lot of income.

"There is some truth to it!" Li Shimin said with a smile, not to mention anything else, a variety of trees are very much to his appetite, the Tang Dynasty is governing the Yellow River, the most important of which is to Guangzhong trees, with this sentence to promote, maybe it will be able to get miraculous results.

"Lord Mo is indeed talented, and he speaks with great righteousness, a simple sentence, but he has exhausted the foundation of getting rich." Pound laughed.

"This kid is indeed talented, but he is all crooked, and he sells his crooked poems all day long!" Li Shimin also laughed and scolded, which reader does not see the poems as so sacred, but Morton is constantly crooked poetry.

"But I always feel that Merton, this kid takes the initiative to build roads, and he will definitely make a fuss." Li Shimin couldn't help but have a bad premonition.

Pound frowned and said uncertainly: "That's not it!" The craftsmanship of the Mo family is unique in the world, and the official road in the south of the city is built by the Mojia Village, and His Majesty can rest assured. ”

"I hope so!" Li Shimin sighed.

In fact, it is not only Li Shimin who pays attention to the road repair in Moton, in fact, many people in Chang'an City are paying attention, after all, Mo Jiazi is now a man of the year in Chang'an City, he took the initiative to ask for road repair, and everyone is curious, you must know that the things that Mo Jiazi made at that time are extremely sensational every time, and they are still talking about it to this day.

Sure enough, just after the first day of road construction, the exciting news immediately spread throughout Chang'an City.

"The Mo family ploughed the official road."

"Plowed!" People who heard the news were all dumbfounded, for a long time, the official road has been filled with soil to fill some potholes and then slowly tamped, while Mojia Village ploughed the entire official road without saying a word.

The little official who was in charge of supervising the road repair in Mojia Village was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ran back to the county government to report to Su Luosheng.

"What." Su Luosheng was shocked when he heard the news.

It turns out that although the official road is dilapidated, it can definitely be used for repair, but once the official road is ploughed in Mojia Village, how long will it take to re-consolidate the official road.

"Mo Jiazi!" Su Luosheng regretted it in his heart, he knew that the Mo family always made amazing moves, but he didn't expect that it was himself who was frightened this time.

Now he doesn't know if his decision to build a road in Mojia Village is correct.

"From a small point of view, the Mo family must be dissatisfied and deliberately retaliate against the county honor, and this time the official road in the south of the city is completely ruined!" The little official wants to die, he is a supervisor, if Mojia Village destroys the official road, then he will definitely be implicated.

Su Luosheng shook his head and said, "What's the use of the Mo family's ploughing of the road, can he still be in that kind of land, how can he plow now, he will definitely ram it back for me inch by inch in the future." ”

The little official frowned and said, "Master Su has forgotten the construction period of the Ministry of Works. ”

Su Luosheng suddenly couldn't sit still, and immediately put down his official duties and got up and said, "Let's go, go to the south of the city to have a look." ”

The South City Gate is in full swing, and the entire South City Gate has become a huge construction site.

Su Luosheng raised his eyes and saw that a group of Mo family disciples were driving two horses and plowing, which was built just outside the south city gate, leaving only a passage that could only pass through two carriages for the south city gate to enter and exit.

Hearing the news, the citizens of Chang'an City came over to see the excitement, pointing and pointing on the side, and were amazed, such a peculiar road construction, everyone still saw it for the first time.

Su Luosheng, under the leadership of the children of the Mo family, searched for a long time before he found Merton, who was wearing a helmet and commanding.

"There are the most vehicles walking at the gate of the city, and the plough is half a foot deep within a mile south of the city."

Merton instructed a child of the Mo family, and then looked up at the Su County Commander who came up.

Su Luosheng smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Mo is so generous, repairing the official road only needs to be tinkered, why should Lord Mo renovate it all." ”

When he came to the official road, he realized that Merton was indeed not building a road, but building a new road.

Merton shook his head, pointed to the other half of the potholed official road and said: "The damage to the official road in the south of the city is very serious, if all the soil is tamped, Mojia Village will not have so much manpower. ”

Su Luosheng was dumbfounded and said: "So Marquis Mo will plow the official road, wouldn't he work harder." ”

Merton laughed and said: "There are many horses in Mojia Village, and the efficiency of two horses and one plough is several times that of manpower.

When Merton actually built the road, he realized that if he really used manpower to ram the road, it would be faster to renovate it.

Su Luosheng's eyes narrowed and said, "Then does Lord Mo know that it is indeed easy to use a horse plow, but how to consolidate the road in the future?" ”

Merton shook his head and said, "The most proud of the Mo family is not our strength, but our tools. Mojia Village did not plan to tamp the road surface with manpower, and Mojia Village was ready to flatten it. ”

Merton casually pointed to a huge steel cylindrical giant like a stone stone and said: "This is a new tool of the Mohists, a road roller specially prepared for road construction, this thing is made of steel, the outer circle is hollow inside, when the road is pressed, it can be filled with sand to increase the weight, the effect is comparable to rammed earth, but eight horses pull, one day is enough to build a road for three miles." And Mojia Village prepared to build ten units for this. ”

Su Luosheng was shocked in his heart, this kind of road building method can be described as subversive, the efficiency is indeed amazing, but the consumption is also amazing, except for the wealthy Mojia Village, I am afraid that no one can complete it.
