At the entrance of Mojia village,
Li Yi and many villagers are waiting here, and many people are looking forward to it.
"Come, come, the young master is back!"
Seeing the arrival of the motorcade, everyone showed an excited smile. Among the crowd, a group of mothers and daughters were particularly conspicuous. This person was officially Yang's mother and daughter. After they came to Mojia village, they were properly settled by Mojia villagers. Originally, they were still a little uncomfortable, but after seeing the expansion of Mojia village with their own eyes, they immediately liked this place.
Today, Merton is going back to Mojia village, and her daughter Wu Meiniang will naturally follow her back. One morning, Yang's mother and daughter waited here early in the morning.
"Is this...?" Yang looked at the two men who were guarded by Gong in front of him with sharp eyes. He was stunned and suddenly burst into his heart.
Merton naturally knew that he was their benefactor when he saved them from fire and water. On the other hand, Li Shimin let her shrink her eyes. She was the royal family of the Sui Dynasty and married Ying Guogong warrior Yu. How can she forget seeing Li Shimin several times.
"Welcome you! Welcome young master!"
Li Shimin and Merton got off the horse. Li Yi hurried forward and said respectfully.
Today is Li Shimin's private visit. Li Yi is knowledgeable and doesn't reveal Li Shimin's identity. He shows great respect on the outside. In fact, he has been trembling in his heart for a long time for fear of making a mistake.
"Hello, young master!" the villagers greeted Merton one after another.
"You've worked hard!" Merton greeted everyone one by one and handed the shadow to the children of the Mohist family. Naturally, Li Shimin's horse was taken over by the bodyguard.
In the motorcade, Wu Meiniang got off a carriage and her eyes lit up when she saw Yang's mother and daughter.
"Master!" Wu Mei Niang went to Merton and whispered.
"Go and reunite with your mother!" Merton waved his hand. Wu Meiniang immediately ran to Yang's mother and daughter. The mother and daughter haven't met for many days. Naturally, they have a lot to say.
After Wu Meiniang got off, the other carriage passengers also got off one after another. The leader was Li Chengqian, followed by Li Tai, Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang.
Today, Li Shimin rarely has free time. It can be said that it is not too much to come to Mojia village for investigation or a visit. Naturally, it is better for the whole family to go out together.
But it's a pity that Princess Changle didn't come today to avoid suspicion, which makes Merton very sorry.
"The villagers have been looking forward to hearing that the young master will examine the workshops today!" Li Yi tried to control his excitement.
Merton nodded and stretched out his hand. A carriage with a modified appearance of a common sightseeing car in later generations rushed over. Merton stretched out his hand and invited him: "please change this car to have a good look at the whole picture of Mojia village."
Li Shimin looked at the sightseeing bus in Mojia village, and then looked at the tightly sealed four-wheel carriage behind him. Li Chengqian's brother and sister followed him. Merton finally got on the bus and sat next to Li Shimin. Pound took over the driver's position, while Li Yi led the way in a four-wheel carriage.
With a cry, the sightseeing carriage slowly drove into the Mojia village, and suddenly a new village appeared in front of everyone.
"This is Mojia village!" Li Tai and others exclaimed as they looked at the brand-new buildings at the entrance of the village.
Except for the old residential area, all buildings in Mojia village have been newly built in the past two years. The planning is neat and new. Although it is not as tall as Chang'an City, it is better than novelty and delicacy. Mojia village can be said to be a village, rather than a city, and a brand-new city.
Moreover, the roads in Mojia village are also six lane brick roads. There are also green belts on both sides of the brick roads. The only difference is that the green plants in the isolation belt are not trees, but low four seasons green, which are also corrected to be flat.
"These Sijiqing are trimmed. When spring comes, Sijiqing will send out many new leaves, which are green and very beautiful," Merton said, pointing to Sijiqing.
"It's really pleasant to see green plants in winter!" Li Shimin nodded. The evergreen trees in four seasons can not only be used as isolation belt, but also greening the environment, which has a certain artistic conception.
Merton proudly said, "Weichen doesn't like to make Mojia village a cold village. When planning Mojia village, it has been stipulated that at least 30% of the whole Mojia village is covered with green plants. Green plants can not only beautify, but also make the air fresh, fit in body and mind and prolong life."
"It has the artistic conception of Taoism."
Li Shimin nodded. He also went to other royal gardens for summer vacation all year round. There are beautiful mountains and rivers, green trees and fresh air, which makes people relaxed and happy. It is indeed much more comfortable than Chang'an city. However, Mojia village directly combines the city with the forest. In a busy city, he can also enjoy the breath of the forest, the noise and the tranquility, Such wonderful ideas are indeed admirable.
"I didn't expect brother Mo to have such talent. Even if yu Wenkai is alive, I'm afraid he can't help praising brother Mo's design." Li Chengqian said sincerely. Chang'an city was designed by Yu Wenkai. It was originally the best in the world. Now, compared with Mojia village, I'm afraid it is a little inferior in road construction.
It's so pleasant to drive on such a driveway. Even Zhuque street in Chang'an city doesn't feel so.
"Your Highness is flattered. My idea is only based on the drawings of master Yuwen. How can I compare with master Yuwen?" Morton said modestly.
While the carriages were moving forward, there were more and more carriages in each lane. Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded, and the carriages leading the way stopped full. Li Shimin looked up. There was a crossroads ahead. At the crossroads, two village guards were responsible for directing the traffic. Not only did their convoy stop, but they stopped all the carriages going east and West, Only carriages in the North-South lane can pass, while passers-by also follow the traffic flow.
"These two people are responsible for the traffic at the intersection, allowing the carriages in the north-south and east-west directions to pass alternately," Merton explained.
In this era, it is not as intelligent as the traffic lights of later generations. Moreover, the traffic command at the intersection has just been implemented, and Merton can only fool it to pass alternately. As for the function of traffic lights of later generations, Merton did not even mention it, because Merton knows that the most advanced in this era is not the most practical.
"Why? In this way, it's not a waste of time to stop the waiting carriage." Li Tai didn't understand.
Merton explained: "Your Highness the king of Wei doesn't know. The four-wheel carriage came from the Mohist village. There are a lot of carriages in and out of the village. If you don't use this method, every intersection will be seriously blocked and difficult to pass. Compared with the time wasted by the blockage, the time of parking and waiting can be said to be insignificant." Merton explained.
Merton finished saying that the motorcade in the north-south direction had just passed. As soon as pound urged, the carriage started immediately and passed through the intersection unimpeded.
"Sure enough, there is a way."
Although the fool's command of traffic is primitive, Rao is so, which has satisfied Li Shimin. He said to pound, who drives the carriage: "after the new year, send an order to Chang'an, so that he will solve the congestion problem of Chang'an city according to this law."
"Yes!"
Pound responded.
