Chapter 692

On the brick road in the south of the city,

A long convoy composed of dozens of carriages drove on the smooth brick road. On both sides of the carriage, there were also disguised bodyguards and longitudinal horse guards. The party quickly went towards Mojia village.

In one of the humble carriages, Li Shimin was reading a Book of Mojing leisurely. Originally, few people in the Tang Dynasty had read Mojing. However, since the rise of Mojia village, Mojing began to become popular in Chang'an City, and so did Li Shimin.

However, even if he is an adult, reading the Mojing is still obscure and difficult to understand. It is not as catchy as the Analects of Confucius and thought-provoking. However, who can think of a dying Mohist who hides the ink technology to change the Tang Dynasty.

"If the Mohist school had not produced a Mohist school, I'm afraid the theory of benefiting the country and the people would disappear in history, and that would be the biggest loss of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin looked at Merton riding a dead shadow and sighed that the sudden rise of the Mohist village really surprised him too much.

Moreover, Li Shimin is not wrong. In later generations, the Mohist school has never recovered. If it had not been for the mistakes of Taoism to include Mozi in Taoism, the Mohist school would have fallen forever.

Merton noticed Li Shimin's eyes and hurried forward: "tell your majesty, if you turn left for less than three miles, you will be the Mohist village."

"Mohist village!" Li Shimin could not help but move in his heart and nodded, not only a little more expectation

It can be said that the growth of Mojia village was completed under his eyes. From the poorest village in Chang'an city to a village of all households, the growth rate is simply beyond his imagination, not to mention the power of Mojia village, which is like a lever to pry the economy of Datang. How can Li Shimin not be curious about such a magical place.

If all villages in the world follow the example of Mohist village, wouldn't the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty be just around the corner? When he personally declared Mohist village the first village in the world, he had already moved the idea of coming to Mohist village. However, at that time, the whole country was preparing for the western expedition, which was delayed. Then Merton went on a long march with the army, Shandong Dashui, the military parade and the crisis of Mohist village. Until today, Mohist village has survived the crisis, After the expansion was completed, Li Shimin decided to take this opportunity to go to Mojia village in person to see what the magic of Mojia village is praised by everyone at the entrance of Chang'an city.

"Turn left ahead is Mojia village. Your majesty will surely have more surprises if you get off and ride a horse." just as Li Shimin was dazzled, Merton warned aside.

"Oh! Then I'll wait and see." Li Shimin is as good as me.

The carriage stopped and Li Shimin got off the carriage. Pound immediately offered a fine horse and Li Shimin turned over.

The carriage went on, and soon came to an intersection. Turning left, a spacious and straight road suddenly came into sight.

"This!"

Li Shimin was stunned when he saw the road in front of him and said in surprise.

I'm afraid there is no road in the whole world that is as wide as rosefinch street. It's 150 meters wide, about 50 feet. Although the road in front of us is not as wide as rosefinch Avenue, it is far more exquisite than rosefinch street.

In Li Shimin's sight, the road ahead is a road that can drive three carriages in parallel. The lanes on both sides are made of red bricks, and the lanes in the middle are made of green bricks with clear colors.

"Back to your majesty, the three lanes are left turn straight and right turn. We go directly to Mojia village and should take the green brick road in the middle," Merton reminded.

"Very clever!" Li Shimin looked at the brick and nodded. There were red straight arrows inlaid with red bricks on the green bricks, and there were also arrows inlaid with green bricks to turn forward in the red brick road.

Moreover, this is only the road to Mojia village, and there are three same brick roads on the left for vehicles starting from Mojia village.

"The main road is facing the sky, and each side goes. Now the brick road is opened, and the carriage speed is faster. Setting their own roads can avoid the current situation of traffic jam to the greatest extent."

"As for pedestrians, there will be special pedestrian passages on both sides of the lane to separate people from vehicles. In this way, the occurrence of accidents will be greatly reduced."

Merton explained, pointing to the sidewalks on both sides of the road. This is a common traffic knowledge in later generations, but it is an extremely advanced concept in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin not only nodded slightly, but in Chang'an village, although the streets are extremely broad, the traffic jam is becoming more and more serious due to the increase of four-wheel carriages, and traffic accidents happen almost every day. He has received many memorials from the imperial historian, pleaded about the matter and asked for a resolution, but there has been no good way. Now he didn't expect to solve it perfectly in Mojia village.

What's more amazing to Li Shimin is that all the trees are planted as isolation belts between the traffic lane and the humanoid Lane leading to Mojia village. Even in the cold winter and December, the snow has not melted, but the trees are still full of green leaves. It's amazing for the people. It's strange to be able to witness the green plants with their own eyes in this withered season, I couldn't help glancing.

"This is what you called the evergreen tree in the original ink technology exhibition." Li Shimin leaned over and reached out to pick a leaf from the evergreen tree. He was surprised to see the fresh mesophyll inside.

Merton nodded: "This is a tree species in the south of the Yangtze River. The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and the leaves are evergreen, while the trees in the north have to face the bitter and cold weather in winter. They need fallen leaves to reduce their support in order to survive the cold winter. Of course, when there are pines and cypresses that do not shed leaves in winter, all their leaves evolve into needles to reduce loss. Of course, these evergreen trees do not really do not shed leaves, but change their leaves regularly."

"More and more so?" Li Shimin was surprised when he heard this truth for the first time.

"The color is monotonous in winter. Weichen's previous idea was to decorate Mojia village with these green plants. After two years of cultivation, Mojia village has indeed succeeded. I believe that over time, this kind of green plants will be able to spread in the north of Datang. It's not vain to have snow and green." Merton thought.

"Mohist village has a heart!" Li Shimin nodded.

Driveway! Isolation belt! In the hands of Mojia village, it has a unique flavor.

Li Shimin took a deep breath. Now he hasn't arrived at Mojia village, he has a feeling that his trip is worth it, and he has more expectations for Mojia village.

After turning from the brick road in the south of the city, it was very close to Mojia village. Merton and his party all took cars and horses. Soon, a huge memorial archway appeared in front of everyone.

The five big words "the first village in the world" stand out in the eyes.

"Here comes Mojia village!"

Li Shimin's heart moved. He wants to have a good look today. What kind of surprise will his first village in the world give himself.
