Chapter 698

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

"This is the granary of Mojia village. Now, Mojia village is expanding rapidly and has occupied a lot of good farmland. In the future, the grain output of Mojia village will continue to decrease. For the stability of Mojia village, these granaries will store enough grain for Mojia village for at least three years. Even if it is the crisis of Mojia village, the boy has no idea about these grains." Merton solemnly said.

This granary is the foundation of the stability of Mojia village. He specially introduced it to Li Shimin today to let Li Shimin see the layout of Mojia village.

"It's really not a fluke to prepare for a rainy day in Mojia village!" Li Shimin nodded. He controlled the whole Tang Dynasty and naturally knew the importance of food. If Shandong flood had not mobilized a large amount of food for disaster relief, I'm afraid it would have changed the people.

Moreover, there are so many grain reserves in Mojia village. Even if it fails in the crisis of Mojia village, Mojia village will not be chaotic, and there may not be no chance of turning over in the future.

With the carriage moving forward, huge workshops came into view. In the Tang Dynasty, almost all workshops are homework, and the scale is very small. Even most of the workshops on both sides of the Southwest Industrial Zone and the brick road in the south of the city are the same. The larger ones are just hiring some people.

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

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

Merton proudly said: "now there are 5000 villagers in Mojia village, 10000 foreign craftsmen in the industrial area, and 2000 vendors and clerks in the commercial area. These are the permanent residents of Mojia village, not including the continuous business trips in Mojia village. On weekdays, the total population of Mojia village is about 20000."

"20000 people!"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows in surprise. The resident population of a village is almost equivalent to a large county.

"It's new year's Eve, and most of the workers in major workshops have returned home. Ordinary industrial areas must be very busy," Morton said with regret.

Li Shimin looked at the huge workshops and couldn't help sighing that the development of Mojia village was no longer described as fast, but simply a miracle.

The sightseeing carriage went all the way and soon left the workshops behind. There were pieces of farmland in front. Unknowingly, they had driven out of the industrial zone.

"Ah! We're out of Mojia village. Why don't we have a gate!" Li Tai asked curiously.

Li Shimin was shocked and suddenly remembered his experience along the way. The Mojia village has not only no city gate, nor even a city wall, nor a moat. This is an incredible thing. You know, even a small county with a population of only a few thousand people in the Tang Dynasty has a city wall, and even some villages have a village gate, a village wall, and even a moat, The gate of the village is closed at night.

But Mojia village did the opposite. Not only did it have no village gate, but also built roads in all directions. You can enter Mojia village almost from that direction.

Merton said proudly, "the Mojia village is located at the foot of the emperor. If you dare to offend, you don't have to worry about the safety of the village. Moreover, the construction of the city wall costs a lot. The grass-roots creation of the Mojia village is in the ascendant. It's better to build more brick houses for the villagers than put the limited money on the construction of the useless city wall."

"Brother Mo has a good opinion!" Li Tai said with admiration. How many people can love the villagers like Morton.

Merton said with a smile, "although the city wall is good, it makes people safe and assured, it will also shackle the development of a city. In the planning of Mojia village, it is not a square square city like Chang'an City, but a circle. Taking the business district as the center, we build a circle of ring roads. Now we walk the brick road is the second ring road of Mojia village."

"Ring road!" Li Shimin and others looked at the obviously curved road ahead and couldn't help looking at each other. Such urban ideas are extremely rare.

"Today's Mojia village is expanding rapidly. In less than five years, all the land within the second ring road will be occupied. At that time, the third ring brick road will be built. If the city wall is built, can it be stripped and expanded? Therefore, the future of Mojia village will always be a city without city walls," Merton said generously.

"A city without walls!"

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were shocked and couldn't help thinking. Once the city of Datang was built, it means that the area has been fixed. Even some visionary designers reserved space for development in advance, but it will run out one day. However, a city without walls has unlimited development possibilities. It can be seen how much Merton expects the Mojia village!

Of course, there is another most important reason, but the public tacitly didn't say it. That is, the unique skill that Mohism became famous in history is to stick to it. Once it has a city, there are a large number of Mohist children among them, and their defensive power must be doubled.

I'm afraid no one can ignore a fortress with amazing defense on the edge of Chang'an city. If Mojia village doesn't build a city wall, it is actually abandoning its martial arts and expressing its loyalty to the court. After all, no one will refuse a city pool that has no threat and allows an endless stream of court halls to contribute huge taxes.

"Everyone knows that Mohism is open to change, but I don't know that brother Mo has such a mind!" Li Chengqian can't help but be impressed by Merton's grand plan.

An infinitely expanding city has a beautiful environment and is suitable for living. The Mojia village with ink technology has unlimited business opportunities. The future of such a city will be unlimited.

"Then I'll wait and see!" Li Shimin said in a loud voice.

Mojia village is right under his nose. He wants to see how far Mojia village can grow.

"Thank you, your majesty!" the Mohist village was overjoyed. Then he looked up at the sun above his head and said, "master fish returned from Luoyang today. I heard that your majesty has been waiting for a banquet in the village residence. Please move to the Mohist residence."

Li Shimin couldn't help but move when he heard the speech. Since the fish master opened up the market in Luoyang City, he has never tasted the fish master's craft again. He not only smiled a little and said, "then we can have a blessing today."

Li Chengqian can't help but show a trace of memory. At the beginning, he, Merton and Qin Huaiyu didn't taste the craftsmanship of fish master. Now when I think back, it's a good memory.

The sightseeing carriage did not turn around, but continued to move forward, along the ring road, and soon arrived at the residential area. In the center of the residential area is Merton's residence in Mojia village.

"This is the new Mohist village!" Li Shimin brightened his eyes as he looked at the rows of brand-new brick houses in the residential area.

Compared with the dilapidated and messy of ordinary villages, it is two worlds compared with Mojia village. Brick roads are paved at the door of each household in the residential area, which is clean and tidy. There is no dirty and messy sewage flow, and there are no yellow skinned poor people.

A group of children dressed in clean and tidy clothes, with healthy complexion, chased and made trouble at the door. The chimneys of each family were emitting wisps of cooking smoke, a strong smell of rice came to their faces, and a strong smell of life came from the pavement.

"This is the residential area of Mojia village, also known as Mojia new village. All the original villagers live in the village." Merton pointed to the new house and introduced it to Li Shimin.

"It's all brick houses!" Li Tai was surprised when he looked at the rows of houses that had just been built.

Merton nodded and said, "in order to prevent fire, all the shops in Mojia village, except the shops along the street, should use brick and tile structures."

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

"It's really a Shanghu family!" Li Shimin nodded in praise.

Hundreds of neat brick and tile houses are located in a staggered manner, which gives people a more convincing shock than any words. Most ordinary villages are low thatched houses, and only landlords and upper families can afford brick and tile houses, while Mojia village is just like every ordinary villager. Such an exquisite house is not inferior to the square city of Chang'an city.

"In one more 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 remaining blank houses.

"They are all benevolent and righteous people. Brother Mo treats the villagers well, and the villagers do their best to repay the kindness!" Li Chengqian also praised. Merton treats the villagers very well. However, these villagers know how to repay the kindness. When Mojia village is in danger, they generously save the village. How can such a loving and righteous villager not be envied.

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

Li Shimin sighed that there are so many aristocratic family landlords in the world. The people controlled by any one are ten times more than those in Mojia village, and these aristocratic families only absorb the wealth of the people to worship themselves, but they never thought of feeding the people back, so that the aristocratic family that has passed on for thousands of years is just a prosperous family, while the people they depend on are still poor and poor.

However, Merton has created a new model of governing the people. Common prosperity is like a high-rise building. The stronger the foundation, the higher it can be built. The people of Mojia village are the foundation of this high-rise building. Only the richer the villagers are, the more prosperous the Mojia village can be.

"Hello, young master!"

"Hello, young master!"

……………………

Teenagers looked at Merton on the sightseeing carriage and greeted him with respect. Their eyes were fanatical, as if they saw an idol.

Merton responded to the villagers one by one. The carriage went smoothly all the way and soon came to the Mohist village and Mohist house.

Although Merton didn't come back all year round, the whole ink house was often taken care of. Everything was in order and clean. When they got off the carriage, they found that master fish had been waiting there.
