"The Village Mo is divided into four areas, the residential area, the commercial area, the industrial area and the R&D area." Li Yi sat in the carriage and introduced the situation of the Village Mo to Han Zheng.
They talked for a while and then the carriage came to the residential area.
The residential area was directly divided into two parts by a brand-new brick road. In the south of the road, there were shabby mud thatched huts, which were very common in the countryside. In the north of the road, there were rows of brand-new tall tile-roofed houses. Even the rich families in Chang 'an couldn't be compared with them. It was very spectacular and shocking. "
Li Yi pointed to the brand-new row of tile-roofed houses and said proudly, "This is the new village of the Mo's. A year ago, the Village Mo was still living in shabby thatched huts in the south of the road. However, in less than a year, more than 400 new houses have been built. According to the young master's plan, all the villagers will move to the new village of the Mo's within three years. "
Han Zheng nodded slightly. In this world, there were many rich businessmen, but there was no one like Mo Jiazi who could make thousands of people rich at the same time.
"Meton really did what an extraordinary person could do." Han Zheng sighed with emotion.
Meton suddenly smiled shyly and said, "Love with Impartiality is the first principle of the Mo's. I just followed the principle of the Mo's!"
Han Zheng shook his head and said, "There are many people who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but there are few people who can really be the same in the world." As a legalist, he was used to seeing too many greedy people. There were very few people who could keep their conscience in front of money. There were so many villages in the world, but why was there only one Village Mo? Didn't this show that the Village Mo was more precious?
"I heard that Meton once promised to let all the men in the Village Mo's get married?" Han Zheng joked, which was rare.
Meton suddenly blushed and said, "I was just talking nonsense. I didn't expect that the Headmaster of the Academy would hear it."
Han Zheng shook his head seriously and said, "Marriage and funeral are the relations between heaven and earth. This is the most important thing. How can it be nonsense?"
Li Yi immediately looked at Han Zheng with appreciation and said, "Brother Han, you are right. As an Old Man, the proudest thing of the Village Mo is not the 400 bridal houses, but the 400 couples in the bridal houses. They are the biggest wealth of the Village Mo."
"In that case, the Mo Clan will have a successor!" Han Zheng added.
Li Yi suddenly felt that he was a confidant. Now, in the Mo Family Village, women from other villages were fighting to marry into the village. This was the thing that Li Yi was most proud of. It could be said that Han Zheng had spoken to the bottom of his heart.
"What's that?" Han Zheng's attention was suddenly drawn over by an extraordinarily stylish and extremely large building. He looked at Meton and joked, "Don't tell me this is the Mo clan?"
Seeing this, Meton smiled bitterly and said, "Headmaster, you must be joking. This is the schoolhouse of the Village Mo."
"School?"
Han Zheng paused and looked at the two of them in disbelief.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, in the Village Mo, the best house has always been the schoolhouse."
The carriage quickly stopped in front of the extremely stylish building. As expected, the First Primary School of the Village Mo was written on it.
"A primary school is so big!" Han Zheng exclaimed. The size of the First Primary School of the Village Mo was no less than that of the Imperial College. "
"The Village Mo is carrying out compulsory education. All the children of the right age have to go to school. In addition, this schoolhouse is also responsible for the adult night school." Li Yi said.
Han Zheng sighed with emotion, "The rise of the Mo Clan is not a fluke."
Such advanced education, even in Chang 'an, could not be compared with it. In Han Zheng's view, the Mo Clan did not rely on the ancestors' legacy as people had guessed. On the contrary, the R&D Department and compulsory education were enough to support the prosperity of the Village Mo. It couldn't be more right to choose to cooperate with the Mo Clan.
The carriage continued to move forward. There were rows of warehouses and stores on both sides. Even though it was close to the end of the year, there were still workers loading goods into the carriage.
Li Yi certainly knew the real reason why Meton invited Han Zheng, so he said, "This is the business district, where Mo Jiazi's property is sold. It is also the problem of the Village Mo now. A large number of outsiders come here to seek money, so it is inevitable that the good and the bad are mixed together. There are a lot of things to deal with here, so I will need your help in the future."
"What if the Mo Clan has a conflict with the outsiders?" Han Zheng asked seriously.
Li Yi secretly glanced at Meton, but found that Meton did not say anything. He had to grit his teeth and said, "Then we will deal with it impartially. Even Brother Mo Jiazi will deal with it more seriously."
Han Zheng laughed and said, "That can't be done. Legalism deals with things according to the law. Who is right and who is wrong must be dealt with fairly."
When he first came to the Village Mo, besides the strong support of Meton, he naturally needed the support of a person with real power like Li Yi.
"Thank you, Brother Han." Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
To be honest, he was also annoyed by these worldly affairs. Especially when there was a conflict between the Village Mo and the outsiders, he was the most difficult person to deal with. Now that he put all the troubles to Han Zheng, he was naturally happy to be relaxed.
Seeing that the two powerful figures in the future of the Village Mo reached an agreement, Meton nodded with satisfaction and said, "The business district will continue to expand. In the future, more and more outsiders will come to the Village Mo. Those who come to work here must ensure that they have enough food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Li Yi nodded.
Meton continued, "Some outsiders come here with their families. We will build a primary school in the business district to solve the problem of their children's education."
Li Yi hesitated and said, "Is it compulsory education?"
Meton nodded and said, "It is not compulsory, but it is still free education. I promised Mr. Li to build a batch of schools, so we will start from the Village Mo."
Han Zheng's eyes lit up and he said, "If the Village Mo can be so fair, the Old Man's work will be much easier in the future."
Now the Village Mo not only achieved justice, but also education, so the outsiders would not be disloyal.
"It is inconvenient for the businessmen to come here. Manager Zheng has complained many times that the inns in the Village Mo are not good. Build more inns. "Meton ordered.
Li Yi frowned and said, "But in this way, the Village Mo's funds will be tight!"
Meton took a deep breath and thought for a while and said, "After the beginning of the year, the Village Mo will be open again. Other businessmen are allowed to buy land and build houses in the business district of the Village Mo. Businessmen are allowed to build inns and shops by themselves."
Li Yi suddenly asked, "Young master, didn't you say that the Village Mo will not sell land?"
Modun nodded and said, "The Village Mo's Village will not sell the land. All the businessmen who want to buy the land have to sign a contract. The contract will be valid for forty-five years. After forty-five years, the land will belong to the Village Mo's Village again.
Li Yi frowned and said, "If so, I am afraid that the land will not be sold for much money."
In the Tang dynasty, the land was usually sold privately. As long as you bought it, it would belong to you for generations. But the Village Mo only sold land for 45 years, so it was not very attractive.
Meton smiled mysteriously and said, "Not necessarily. But the purpose of the Village Mo is not to make money by selling land, but to attract foreign money into the Village Mo. The Village Mo only has a limited amount of money. The Village Mo can only develop by using the money of the people of the Tang dynasty to serve the Village Mo."
"Besides, after 45 years, the land will be worth more than what it is now. But the land will only be sold in the business district." Meton added.
Han Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. Meton's decision not only took care of the present but also focused on the future. It was indeed the best plan.
