"Next, we are going to the industrial area of Village Mo." After leaving the R&D area, Li Yi said to Han Zheng complacently.
If the R&D area was the future of Village Mo, the real glory of Village Mo was the famous industrial area, which was the reason why Village Mo could make so much money.
"Industrial area!" Han Zheng nodded.
Everyone in Chang 'an had heard about the industrial area of Village Mo. Stable four-wheeled carriages! The best wine in the world! Extremely hard steel! Everyone in Chang 'an City was talking about it enthusiastically.
However, when they just entered the industrial area, a huge building attracted Han Zheng's attention.
Li Yi said proudly, "This is the granary of Village Mo. According to the young master's order, the grain in the granary must be enough to support Village Mo for three years."
Although Li Yi came from a poor family, he still couldn't get rid of the mindset of a poor family. In his mind, the way to determine whether a family was wealthy or not was to look at the clothes on their body. No, it was to look at the granary in their house.
Since the Mo Family had such a large granary, it was enough to ensure that the Mo Family could survive for three years without any harvest. This would be a huge amount of wealth. No matter how much money the Mo Family had, he didn't care about it. Instead, he patrolled the granary every day, which instantly made him endlessly confident.
Think about it, in the whole Tang dynasty, except the granary of the imperial court, no other family had more grain than Village Mo. Even the big grain merchants in Chang 'an were not inferior to Village Mo. Li Yi didn't think he was inferior.
"It's really magnificent." Han Zheng took a deep breath and said. He had never heard of a village storing so much grain.
"Village Mo is so poor, please don't laugh at us." Meton said to Han Zheng with a wry smile.
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn The Village of Mo's purchase of grain made all the grain merchants in Chang 'an cry out. However, the result surprised all the grain merchants. The Village of Mo's stockpiled all the grain without any intention of selling. They were even mocked by the grain merchants in Chang' an.
Han Zheng said seriously, "As long as there is grain at home, there is no need to panic. This granary is the anchor of Village Mo!"
Among food, clothing, housing, and other necessities, food was the most important. In Han Zheng's opinion, the future of the Mo Family Village could be guaranteed with the existence of this granary.
"Does the food provided by the outsiders count as well?" Han Zheng suddenly thought of something and turned to ask.
Meton nodded his head and said, "That's right. Not only that, there are even a lot of reserved land around the granary. When the population of the Mo Family Village increases in the future, the granary will naturally expand as well."
"This is a long-term plan." Han Zheng was gratified.
Next to the granary was Xie Qianchou's winery. Before the carriage even got close, the intoxicating aroma of wine wafted over. It was worth mentioning that although the Mo Family Village had a lot of grain, they did not sell it to the villagers. Instead, they kept it as a reserve and at the same time, provided Xie Qianchou with an endless supply of raw materials.
"The Mo Family Village can resolve a thousand worries. This is the best wine in the world! Brother Han is in for a treat from now on, "Li Yi said generously.
Xie Qianchou was the own winery of the Village Mo. Of course, he would treat his own people well. Of course, there was no limit for the people of the Village Mo to buy their own wine. They couldn't even finish the rations.
Han Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "The Old Man can't hold his liquor well."
He was old and had passed the age of competitiveness. Naturally, he couldn't hold his liquor well.
"That's okay. The Old Man has the medicinal wine that Brother Hua made in the house. It can dredge the muscles and bones, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Drink a few cups every day and I guarantee that you will live a long life. I'll give some to you when the time comes. "
Han Zheng couldn't refuse such kindness. He could only accept it and said, "The medicinal wine made by Miracle Doctor Hua is too much for the Old Man to accept."
Now, Hua Yuan and Sun Simiao were famous miracle doctors in Chang 'an City. One was an internal medicine doctor while the other was a surgery doctor. They complemented each other perfectly. Han Zheng was no stranger to them. After all, the medicinal wine made by Miracle Doctor Hua was naturally expensive.
After bypassing Xie Qianchou's winery, Han Zheng saw a large number of warehouses on both sides of the brick road. A large number of wood and stone materials were piled up. Such a large amount of warehouses was shocking. One should know that these represented wealth.
"These are the warehouses of the Village Mo. They can support the needs of the Village Mo for three months. Some rare materials can even last for a year. Even if there is a problem, it can guarantee the normal operation of the Village Mo in a short period of time." Li Yi pointed at the warehouses and said.
Meton nodded and said, "It's better to be prepared. Don't be afraid of using up the money."
In Meton's view, gold, silver and copper coins couldn't be eaten or used. Food and other materials were the real wealth. Having too much money would bring disaster to the Village Mo. However, having food and other materials not only reassured the people of the Village Mo, but also made the Village Mo prosperous.
"Next is the real foundation of the Village Mo." Meton pointed at the front and introduced to Han Zheng solemnly.
Han Zheng looked at the direction of Meton's finger and saw a huge chimney. Even though it was the end of the year, it was still emitting thick smoke.
"This is the steelmaking workshop of the Village Mo. 60% of the steel of the entire Tang dynasty came from the Village Mo." Meton said proudly.
The steel output of other workshops was too low. Besides, it was time-consuming and laborious, and the quality of the steel could not be guaranteed. However, the steelmaking workshop of the Village Mo, which had the secret of blast furnace steelmaking, had a steel output rate of nearly 100%. It could be said that it was the most popular steel in the market of Chang 'an.
"So, the future of the Village Mo depends on steel." Han Zheng raised his eyebrows and said.
Meton nodded solemnly and said, "In my opinion, there are two things that are indispensable. One is food, and the other is steel. With these two things, everything will be easy."
Han Zheng was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Meton looked at the chimney that was polluting the air of the Tang dynasty and said, "A country is based on the people, and food is the most important thing for the people. Food is the foundation of a country's stability. For the industry, steel is the food of the industry. For a country, if the people don't have to worry about food and clothing, it can only be said that the country is rich. But what really makes a country strong is steel. Whether a country is strong or not depends on whether the soldiers' armor is hard and whether the soldiers' weapons are sharp. In peacetime, steel is used to make cars and farm tools, which are the foundation of a strong country. "
"The foundation of a country is farming and war."
Meton's steel theory made Han Zheng think about it. Legalism had always emphasized farming and war, so it happened to be the same as the School of Mo.
Han Zheng suddenly sighed with emotion. With steel and food, the Village Mo would have no shortcomings. It was just waiting to soar into the sky.
The carriage began to go back and forth. Han Zheng could not calm down for a long time. The era of Legalism had passed, and now it was extremely weak. It was almost the same as the situation of the Village Mo.
When Meton invited him to the Village Mo, he immediately realized that it was an opportunity for Legalism. He was moved by Meton's suggestion of judicial independence, but today's trip to the Village Mo made him realize how wise his previous decision was.
