Chapter 341

"If you want to be rich, build roads first!" suluosheng thought.

Merton nodded and said, "yes, not to mention anything else, the price of land within ten miles on both sides of the official road in the south of the city will not be doubled."

Apart from others, the villages on both sides of the transfer road earn a lot just by selling land. Isn't the premium wealth brought by brick roads?

Su Luosheng looked at the brick road under his feet and said in his heart, "I believe it is impossible not to predict today with the eyes of Lord Mojia. Isn't there some land in Mojia village?"

According to suluosheng's idea, since Merton knew that the land on both sides of the brick road would rise in price, wouldn't he start early and make a lot of money? Maybe even the road construction money could be earned back.

Merton was shocked. He didn't expect that Su Luosheng had such advanced ideas and coincided with an oil tycoon in later generations.

"Xian Zun is wise. Mojia village has indeed bought several pieces of land before this, but they are all bought at double the market price. Mojia won't make such money. Mojia is just trying to seize some important places." Merton said.

In this era of paying most attention to reputation, if the Mohists take the opportunity to make a lot of money and let the villages on both sides of the brick road in the south of the city suffer losses, I'm afraid they will lose their reputation. In addition, the land on both sides of the brick road can only be used for industrial land, and the increased value is not large. There is no need to lose the reputation of the Mohist village. It's better to win-win with the villages in the south of the city, At the same time, lead the land price on both sides of the brick road.

Su Luosheng nodded with satisfaction. If someone else had changed, he would not have been able to resist such temptation, but the Mohist school was indeed the Mohist school. It was convincing to say so.

Su Luosheng and Merton visited the first industrial transfer of Chang'an City together. Many anxious merchants on both sides of the brick road have begun to level the land and occupy the site.

"Lord County, I don't know whether to mention the next suggestion!" said Merton.

Su Luosheng hurriedly said, "it's certainly a big deal to ask Lord Mo to take the initiative to put forward his suggestions. I'm eager to hear it."

Merton thought a little and said, "I often wander in the East and West cities. Many merchants in the East and West cities can make noise and smell. The surrounding merchants can't bear the disturbance, and even pile up a lot of inflammables. I think merchants like this may not be suitable to settle in Chang'an City."

Chang'an city is the economic center of the Tang Dynasty. There are not a few things like chemicals in the East and West, such as the place where mercury is refined in the back street of xuandu temple, the iron shop in the east city, the sound of beating iron doesn't go out in the middle of the night, and even some inflammable things are piled up wantonly. Merton is frightened.

Su Luosheng frowned slightly and said, "Lord Mo's intention is to move all these merchants out of Chang'an City?"

If so, Merton seems to have some public and private revenge, taking the opportunity to attack his competitors.

Merton quickly waved his hand and said, "I have absolutely no selfishness. Most of the fires in Chang'an city are wooden structures, and inflammables are stacked wantonly. There are even many fires that don't go out all year round. In case of a fire, the consequences are unimaginable. I'm afraid most of the fires in Chang'an City over the years come from this.

Su Luosheng nodded heavily. During his term of office, most of the fires in Chang'an City occurred in East and West cities.

"At the same time, these fires burn and smelt year after year, and the smell is soaring. According to the investigation of doctors, after the human body breathes the smell, it mostly occurs in lung diseases. It is also for the health of the people to move such merchants out of Chang'an City," Morton said.

"And it is said that empress Chang sun often suffers from Qi diseases, and the fresh air is conducive to the recovery of the empress's body." Merton finally mentioned suluosheng.

Suluosheng's eyes brightened. No matter how much Merton said before, there was no last sentence. At present, he said without hesitation: "what Lord Murdoch said is that stacking inflammables and burning smelting in Chang'an city is indeed very harmful. I will ask the emperor to move such merchants out of Chang'an City as soon as possible and give the people a healthy air."

This will not only solve the fire hazards in Chang'an City, but also please the emperor and queen. As long as Su Luosheng is not stupid, he naturally knows what to do.

Suluosheng looked at Merton and said thoughtfully, "what if we don't move all of them to the official road in the south of the city?"

Since Merton gave him such a big gift, he naturally wanted to repay his kindness and increase the influence of officials in the south of the city again.

When Morton heard the speech, he was immediately wronged and said, "Mo was kind enough to help County Lord Zun. Why did County Lord Zun hurt me?"

Su Luosheng was stunned when he heard the speech and said, "why did Lord Mo say this? The official road in the south of the city has convenient transportation. It is actually the best place for merchants to choose a site. Why do you harm Lord Mo?"

Merton said wrongfully, "the reason for moving these merchants out of Chang'an city is to clean the air in Chang'an city. Why did the county Reverend move these toxic gases to the direction of Mojia village."

Su Luosheng suddenly realized that the original Mohist school did not want to gather these industries and increase the wealth effect of Chengnan officials, but wanted to drive these industries out of Chengnan officials.

Merton was also helpless. After the brick road was opened, many such merchants bought land on the official road in the south of the city. He didn't want to stand up with chimneys all the way from Chang'an city to Mojia village. Black smoke covered the sky, bare mountains and smelly water. It was a dilapidated place. He had to ask Su Luosheng a few words, but he didn't expect it to have a negative effect.

"Lord Yimo means..." suluosheng respectfully asked for advice.

Merton pointed to the yellow leaves scattered with the northeast wind and said, "the northeast wind prevails in Chang'an city all year round, so in order to endanger Chang'an city with toxic gases, Mo believes that it is better to take the northwest and Southeast, followed by the south."

Suluosheng secretly sighed that everyone was used to the common problem of wind direction, and the MOH family used it here.

Merton continued: "however, most incineration and smelting also need water sources to discharge some sewage, and the rivers in Chang'an city run from east to west. Therefore, in order not to let these wastewater harm the water source of the imperial capital, there is only one place suitable."

"Southeast!" suluosheng took a deep breath and nodded.

Merton nodded.

"But there is no brick road in the southeast, how can these merchants be willing to go." Su Luosheng thought.

"Wutong," he laughed confidently, "if the county respected the adults to repair a brick road leading to the southeast of Changan, how could these merchants be unwilling? This is the building of Phoenix.

Suluosheng said angrily, "it took you 20000 yuan to build a 50 mile brick road in Mojia village. Do you think Chang'an County government can have so much money to build a road?"

Morton shook his head and said with a smile, "how did the county Lord hold the golden rice bowl crying for poverty and sit on the mountain empty without knowing."

"I don't know when I sit on the mountain?" suluosheng opened his eyes and looked at Merton puzzled.

"The county Lord has a lot of public fields in his hands!" said Merton.

Su Luosheng nodded. The equal field system is the public ownership of land. The land allocated to the people is generally divided into public field and Yongye field. Yongye field is privately owned by the people. After the death of Gongtian Dinghu, the land needs to be returned to the imperial court. In addition, the county government also has many public fields for public use.

"It's not killing two birds with one stone to divide the county government's public land in the southeast and resell it to merchants at the price on both sides of the official road in the south of the city. Use the land sales money to build brick roads," Morton suggested.

Su Luosheng's eyes brightened and murmured, "buy the public land to such merchants. Those who sell land for money build roads?"

Merton nodded: "Moumou calls it the industrial park plan."
