Chapter 325: If you want to get rich, build roads first

"What, Mojia Village gave up the Najuan Substitute Service and assumed the official road in the south of the city?"

Soon, what happened in Chang'an City and County quickly spread in Chang'an City.

Many people don't understand the reason why Merton did this, it stands to reason that Mojia Village does not lack this little money at all, and they have already paid for immunization.

And repairing the official road is originally the most onerous work among all the servitude, the previous villages are unwilling to do it, if it is not for the reason that the Chang'an County Order has been holding Hejiazhuang to pull bricks and tiles to destroy the road, it is estimated that the work of repairing the official road will become a big problem.

However, everyone didn't expect that Mojia Village would take the initiative to stop this task on themselves.

"According to me, Mojia Village's move is not necessary at all, obviously the immunization money has already been paid, who still needs to serve in the conscription, and the money that Mojia Village earns casually is more than the immunization money." Someone said disdainfully.

"That's it, besides, the Mo family is already a marquis, where do you need to take care of other villages." Others chimed in.

However, many people shook their heads and said: "In my opinion, it is wise for Mojia Village to undertake this conscription, Mojia Village itself is a big village in the south of the city, and most of the official roads in the south of the city are damaged because of Mojia Village, if Mojia Village does not undertake this conscription, its reputation will definitely be ruined." ”

"Then you can't have to contract the conscription to repair the official road every year! That's not an easy job! ”

"According to me, is Mo Jiazi doing something again, you think about it, Mo Jiazi suffered a loss when he went out."

"Yes!" Many people's hearts moved, and they nodded, many people are burdensome in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the hands of the Mo family, they can repeatedly create miracles.

Everyone is talking and disagreeing, all of them are paying attention to Mojia Village, and they are all speculating about what miracles Mojiazi can create this time.

In the Mo Mansion.

Mo Dun quietly looked at the map of the official road in the south of the city on the table, Fu Bo Xu Jie and Li Yi who came from Mojia Village frowned one by one and gathered together.

The official road in the south of the city is a full fifty miles, three zhang wide, and it is all repaired by a village in Mojia Village, and this task is not light.

Li Yi looked at Morton and immediately complained: "Young Master's move is too reckless, the official road in the south of the city has always been a problem, and Mojia Village will bear it every year in the future, what a burden it will be." ”

Morton shook his head and said: "The main reason for the damage to the official road in the south of the city is the steel wheels of the four-wheeled carriage, and it is Mojia Village that built the four-wheeled carriage, and the damage to the official road Mojia Village is also the culprit. ”

Li Yi opened his mouth, wanting to admonish, but thinking about the potholes in the official road, he could only give up in despair.

Merton then added: "In addition, I believe that other official roads are also worn out. ”

Xu Jie nodded and said: "The official road from Luoyang to Chang'an City is the busiest, there are many four-wheeled carriages, and the official road is also extremely damaged. ”

He often runs to the two lines of Chang'an and Luoyang, and is most familiar with the conditions of this route.

"I'm afraid the sales of four-wheeled carriages have dropped a lot!" Merton sighed.

Li Yi was stunned and said: "Recently, the number of four-wheeled carriages made in Mojia Village has not decreased!" ”

Xu Jie smiled bitterly: "Recently, the sales of four-wheeled carriages and four-wheeled buses have skyrocketed, which has covered up the problem, and the sales of four-wheeled trucks have already dropped significantly. ”

Morton nodded and said: "The four-wheeled carriage has extremely high requirements for the smoothness of the road, and the official roads in various places are damaged, causing the four-wheeled carriage to be inconvenient, and the sales volume will definitely decline in the future, and the steel wheels are too damaging to the road, if this party does not solve it, even if we do not take the initiative to solve it, the imperial court will definitely criticize the Mo family in the future." ”

Li Yi frowned and said: "The wheel matter is easy to solve, Lao Zhang has built a new wheel, the outer ring of the steel wheel is equipped with a layer of wooden ring, in this way, isn't it the same as the previous wooden wheel, the wear and tear of the road is greatly reduced, and once the wooden ring is damaged, it can also be replaced, which can protect the steel ring from being worn." ”

Merton nodded, he just told Lao Zhangtou about the prototype of the tires of later generations, but he didn't expect Lao Zhangtou to make such a replacement, which is also a method.

"Pass the order, all the four-wheeled carriages purchased in Mojia Village will be replaced with new wheels for free!"

Li Yi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Young Master, in this way, Mojia Village will cost a lot of money!" ”

The carriages sold by Mojia Village are not a small amount, and if all of them are replaced with new wheels, then the money lost by Mojia Village will go to the sea.

Merton shook his head and said: "If these carriages are allowed to damage the official road, the imperial court may ban the sale of four-wheeled carriages in the future, and it is not weak to make their own decisions early, and the grievances between the Mo family and the public losers should be understood." ”

Xu Jie's heart moved, the public loser imitated the four-wheeled carriage with the advantage of low price, but sold a lot of carriages, if the Mojia Village replaced the wheels for free, whether the public loser followed or not, it would be a loss.

"Young Master is wise!" Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh, Merton is a conspiracy, so that it can not only solve the problem of the carriage steel wheel destroying the road, but also directly suppress the public loser.

Li Yi moved when he heard this, the Mo family and the public loser used to be rivals, but now they are competitors, and if they can attack the public loser, the Mo family will definitely not hesitate.

And at this time, it is not a black hand against the public loser, but a fair competition, and the public loser is helpless even if he loses, and this time the villages in the south of the city jointly force the palace, and there is no shadow of the public loser behind it.

After solving the wheel problem, Merton refocused his attention on the map of the official road in the south of the city, and said in a condensed voice: "The official road is damaged, one reason is that the steel wheels of the four-wheeled carriage are badly worn, and on the other hand, most of the official roads are mud and compacted, and once it encounters rain and snow, it is muddy, and it is simply unable to bear the weight of the four-wheeled carriage." ”

Xu Jie nodded and said: "Dong Weng is right, most of the four-wheeled carriages bear four or five thousand catties, even the official roads of the Tang Dynasty are unbearable, and the other small roads are unbearable." ”

Merton nodded: "This is also one of the most important reasons to limit the sales of four-wheeled carriages, and the most important reason why I should undertake the construction of the official road in the south of the city is to see that the current road is not compatible with four-wheeled carriages at all." If this time, Mojia Village can build a road that can bear the weight of four-wheeled carriages, you can think about it, in time, all the roads in Datang can withstand four-wheeled carriages without damage, then what kind of scale will Mojia Village's carriage sales be. ”

The three of them suddenly breathless, if this is the case, the four-wheeled carriage business will definitely be able to sweep the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, the profits made by Mojia Village are not comparable to the repair of the official road in the south of the city.

"Dong Weng is far-sighted, Xu admires." Xu Jie was convinced.

Merton said meaningfully: "Everyone in the world is spying on the way to get rich in Mojia Village, so today Mojia Village will pass on the most important secret to the world." ”

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