Chapter 697: Mojia New Village

Walking out of the R&D area, several people boarded the sightseeing carriage and immediately went to the industrial zone.

"This is the granary of Mojia Village, Mojia Village is now expanding rapidly, has occupied a lot of fertile land, in the future Mojia Village's grain production will continue to decrease, for the stability of Mojia Village, these granaries at least three years of storage is enough for Mojia Village to eat food for three years. Even if it was the crisis in Mojia Village, the kid didn't have the idea of touching these grains. Merton said solemnly.

This granary is the foundation of the stability of Mojia Village, and he specially introduced it to Li Shimin today, which is to let Li Shimin see the layout of Mojia Village.

"Take precautions, Mojia Village is really not a fluke!" Li Shimin nodded and said, he controls the entire Tang Dynasty and naturally knows the importance of food, if it weren't for the great flood in Shandong, if it weren't for the mobilization of a large amount of grain for disaster relief, I am afraid that there will definitely be a change in the people.

Moreover, Mojia Village has so much grain in stock, even if Mojia Village fails in a crisis, Mojia Village will not be chaotic, and there may not be no chance of turning over in the future.

As the carriage moved forward, a huge workshop came into view, in the Tang Dynasty, almost all the workshops are homework, the scale is very small, even the southwest industrial zone and the workshops on both sides of the brick road in the south of the city are mostly like this, the larger ones are just hiring some people.

However, the workshop in Mojia Village covers a huge area, and compared with ordinary family workshops, it is simply a behemoth, and there is more than one such workshop.

"How many people do you have to work in such a big workshop!" Li Tai smacked his tongue.

Merton said proudly: "Now there are 5,000 villagers in Mojia Village, 10,000 foreign craftsmen in the industrial zone, and 2,000 traders and men from all over the business area, these are the permanent residents of Mojia Village, not including the endless business travelers in Mojia Village, on weekdays, the total population of Mojia Village is about 20,000. ”

"Twenty thousand!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, the permanent population of a village is almost equivalent to a large county seat.

"It's the end of the year, and most of the workers in the major workshops have returned to their hometowns, and the usual industrial areas must be very lively." Merton said regretfully.

Li Shimin looked at the huge workshops and couldn't help but sigh for a while, the development of Mojia Village is no longer described as fast, it is simply a miracle.

The sightseeing carriage went all the way, and soon left behind the workshops, and patches of farmland appeared in front of them, and everyone had already driven out of the industrial area before they knew it.

"Ahh We have already left Mojia Village, why is there no city gate! Li Tai asked curiously.

Li Shimin couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and then he suddenly remembered the experience along the way, Mojia Village not only has no city gate, not even a city wall, and no moat, what an incredible thing, you must know that even a small county town with a population of only a few thousand people in Datang has a city wall, and even some villages have a walled gate, a wall, and even a moat, and the gate is closed at night.

However, Mojia Village did the opposite, not only did it have a walled gate, but it also built the road in all directions, and almost from that direction you could enter Mojia Village.

Merton said proudly: "Mojia Village is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and what kind of young people dare to offend, naturally do not have to worry about the safety of the village, and the construction of the city wall is expensive, Mojia Village is in the ascendant, rather than putting the limited money on the construction of useless city walls, it is better to build a few more brick houses for the villagers." ”

"Brother Mo, see you!" Li Tai admired that there are a few people in the world who can love the villagers like Xiang Moton.

Morton smiled and said: "Although the city wall is good, people are safe and assured, but it will also shackle the development of a city, in the planning of Mojia Village, it is not like Chang'an City as a square square market, but biased to the circle, with the business district as the center, the construction of a circle of ring roads, and now we are waiting to walk the brick road is the second ring road of Mojia Village." ”

"Ring Road!" Li Shimin and the others looked at the obviously curved road ahead, and couldn't help but look at each other, such a city idea is extremely rare.

"Today's Mojia Village is expanding rapidly, or five years, the land within the second ring road will be occupied, when the third ring road is about to be built, if the city wall is built, can it still be picked, and then expanded? So the future of Mojia Village will always be a city without walls," Merton said generously.

"A city without walls!"

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's hearts were shocked, and they couldn't help but ponder, once the city of the Tang Dynasty is built, it means that the area has been fixed, even if some prescient designers have reserved space for development in advance, but one day it will run out, but a city without city walls has unlimited development possibilities, which shows how big Merton's expectations for Mojia Village are!

Of course, there is one of the most important reasons, but everyone tacitly did not say it, that is, the Mo family's famous trick in history is to keep it, once you have the city, there are a large number of Mo family children in it, and its defensive power will definitely be doubled.

A fortress with amazing defensive power placed on the edge of Chang'an City, I'm afraid no one can ignore it, Mojia Village does not build a city wall, in fact, it is also self-defeating martial arts, to express their loyalty to the court, after all, a city that is not threatening and allows a steady stream of courts to pay huge taxes, no one will refuse.

"Everyone in the world knows that the Mo family is open to change, but they don't know that Brother Mo has such a heart!" Li Chengqian could not help but be impressed by Merton's majestic plan.

An infinitely expanding city, with a beautiful environment and suitable for living, and Mojia Village with ink skills has unlimited business opportunities, such a city, its future will be unlimited.

"Then I'll see!" Li Shimin said loudly.

Mojia Village was right under his nose, and he wanted to see how far Mojia Village could grow.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mojia Village was ecstatic, and then he looked up at the sun that was already above his head and said: "Today, Master Yu returned from Luoyang City, and when he heard that His Majesty was coming, he had already set up a banquet in the village mansion and waited, and asked His Majesty to move to the Mo Mansion." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but move when he heard this, since Master Yu went to Luoyang City to open up the market, he had never tasted Master Yu's craftsmanship again, not only showed a smile and said: "Then I will have a good day today." ”

Li Chengqian on the side couldn't help but show a trace of memory, at the beginning, he, Mo Dun and Qin Huaiyu tasted the craftsmanship of the fish master, and now in retrospect, it was not a good memory.

The sightseeing carriage did not turn around, but continued to move forward, along the ring road, and after a while, it reached the residential area, and in the center of the residential area was Merton's mansion in Mojia Village.

"This is Mojia New Village!" Li Shimin looked at the rows of brand-new brick houses in the residential area, and his eyes lit up.

Compared with the dilapidated and dirty ordinary villages, compared with Mojia Village, it is simply two worlds, with brick roads paved at the entrance of every house in the residential area, clean and tidy, no dirty mess of sewage flowing, and no poor people with yellow faces and thin muscles.

A group of children dressed in clean and tidy clothes, with healthy faces, chased and played at the door, wisps of cooking smoke from the chimneys of each house, and a strong smell of rice came to the face, and the rich atmosphere of life came to the surface.

"This is the residential area of Mojia Village, also known as Mojia New Village, and the people living in the village are all the original villagers in the village." Merton pointed to the newly built house and introduced it to Li Shimin.

"It's all brick houses!" Li Tai looked at the rows of houses that had obviously just been built, and said in surprise.

Merton nodded and said, "In order to prevent fire, except for the shops along the street, all the shops in Mojia Village must be made of bricks. ”

Although it costs a little more, Merton wants to do it once and for all, and is unwilling to leave a fire hazard for Mojia Village, and even the shops on both sides of the street will have firebreaks separated every other section to prevent the tragedy of a fire and burning a street.

"Sure enough, it's the house of the upper family!" Li Shimin nodded in praise.

Hundreds of neat brick houses are located in a patchwork manner, giving people a shock more convincing than any words, ordinary villages are mostly low thatched houses, only landlords, and upper families can afford to live in brick houses, and Mojia Village is actually ordinary villagers are like this, such exquisite houses, is not inferior to the Fang City of Chang'an City.

"In a year at most, the expansion of Mojia New Village will be completed, and all the villagers will move into Mojia New Village." Merton pointed to the few rough passages that remained.

"They are all benevolent and righteous people, Brother Mo treats the villagers well, and the villagers do their best to repay the kindness of the whole village!" Li Chengqian also praised that Moton treated the villagers very well, but these villagers knew how to repay their kindness, and when Mojia Village was in danger, they generously donated money to save the village.

"That's the boy's luck!" Merton said proudly.

Li Shimin couldn't help sighing, there are so many landlords in the world, any one of the people controlled is ten times larger than Mojia Village, and these families will only absorb the people's fat and ointment from the people to worship themselves, but they have never thought of feeding the people, so that the family that has been inherited for thousands of years is just a prosperous family, while the people who are attached to it are still poor.

However, Merton has created a new model of governing the people, common prosperity, like a high-rise building, the firmer the foundation, the higher it can be built, and the people of Mojia Village are the foundation of such high-rise buildings in Mojia Village, only the richer the villagers, the more prosperous Mojia Village can be.

"Hello young master!"

"Hello young master!"

……………………

The teenagers looked at Merton in the sightseeing carriage and greeted them respectfully, with fanaticism in their eyes, as if they had seen an idol.

Mo Dun and the villagers responded one by one, and the carriage traveled all the way unhindered, and soon came to Mojia Village, Mofu.

Although Merton did not come back all the year round, the whole Mo Mansion was often taken care of, everything was in order, clean and tidy, and everyone got out of the carriage and found that Master Yu was already waiting there.
