After the feast, the cups and plates were taken away.
The Round Table Conference of the Village of Mo Family was about to begin.
The Round Table Conference of the Village of Mo Family was famous in Chang 'an. After the Round Table Conference of the Village of Mo Family was spread out, it was imitated by many people in Chang' an. It was widely known in Chang 'an that the Round Table Conference of the Village of Mo Family was greatly contributed to the development of the Village of Mo Family last year, which added a bit of mystery to the Round Table Conference.
Xu Jie sat upright and still. He was slightly excited and looked straight ahead.
But Han Zheng was constantly looking at the core members of the Village of Mo Family. In other families, the core members were all adults, but in the Village of Mo Family, they were all old, middle-aged and young. Uncle Fu, Li Yi and Old Zhang were the older generation, while Uncle Yu and Xu Jie were middle-aged. Especially, there were several young faces such as Tie An and Li Xin, not to mention Meton, a 16-year-old young master. No one could imagine that these people had created the miracle of the Village of Mo Family.
Meton looked at them with gratification and nodded, "You all have contributed a lot to the development of the Village of Mo Family. Every department, report the situation! Let others know the current situation of the Village of Mo Family. "
After Meton finished, a complacent smile appeared on everyone's face. In the fields that they were in charge of, all of them were the top fields in the Tang dynasty.
"The transport team has expanded to nearly 100 carriages. … "
"The guards of the Village of Mo Family have caught more than 10 thieves of the Mo family's secrets and handed them over to the government …"
"The Gourmet City of the Mo family …"
…
After they finished reporting one by one, Meton suddenly sighed. Unconsciously, the Village of Mo Family had developed to such a level.
It was also the first time for Han Zheng and Xu Jie to know the real strength of the Village of Mo Family. They couldn't help but feel shocked and speechless. With the strength of a village, no one had ever achieved such an achievement before. Perhaps only some century-old families could achieve such a scale, but the Village of Mo Family had achieved it in such a short time.
Meton nodded his head and said to One-Armed Uncle Wang, "After next year, the Village Mo will still be recruiting a large number of workers. A large number of outsiders will definitely cause some chaos in the Village Mo. We still need to increase the number of village guards!"
One-armed Uncle Wang frowned and said, "But the kids in the Village Mo are all restless. They all want to go out and make a living. Not many of them are willing to be village guards!"
One-armed Uncle Wang was very distressed. In the beginning, the village guards of Mo Jiazi's village were very popular and many people were willing to join. However, as the number of Mo Jiazi's brothers who went to Chang 'an increased, many of them yearned for the prosperity of Chang' an and requested to be transferred.
Meton was amused and said, "Then increase the treatment of the village guards. At the same time, increase the threshold of going to Chang 'an. Only those who graduate from the night school can be arranged to go to Chang' an."
One-armed Uncle Wang nodded his head. Don't be fooled by how happy those village guards were. There were probably only a few of them who could resist the urge to study at night school.
"At the same time, we can also recruit some outsiders to join the village guards," Meton said helplessly after some thought.
"Outsiders?" Old Zhang objected immediately, "There are many secrets in the Village Mo. If so, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for outsiders to join the village guards!"
Merton said, "The people who join the village guards must be from good families in the neighboring villages. When selecting people, we must know them well. Those with families are the priority. Those with bad records are better than those with bad records."
Old Zhang was relieved and nodded his head. The R&D area he was in charge of was the most important part of the Mo family. Of course, it must be kept strictly confidential.
Li Yi said loudly, "Don't worry, young master. The Village Mo is familiar with all the villages within a radius of 10 miles. We know who can be used and who can't."
Meton nodded his head and said, "In the future, the village guards will only be responsible for patrolling and guarding the Village Mo. If there is any dispute, the village guards will take control of the people on the spot. All the records will be handed over to Han Fuzi for judgment. All the results will be decided by Han Fuzi."
Han Zheng's eyes lit up and he couldn't help looking at Meton. The separation of the power of law enforcement and the power of judgment greatly prevented the corruption.
"Thank you, Brother Han." One-armed Uncle Wang looked at Han Zheng and smiled kindly.
Han Zheng returned the gesture and said, "Brother Wang, you are too polite. However, I have a few suggestions about the village guards. I wonder if I can raise them."
"Han Fuzi, please speak." Meton raised his hand and said.
Han Zheng said solemnly, "In the Old Man's opinion, although recruiting people from neighboring villages is good, we must be careful. First, when people from outside the village join the village guards, people from the same village cannot be placed in the same team. It is best if the village guards are spread out as much as possible."
Everyone's eyes lit up. At this time, people from the same village were the most intimate. If everyone in the same team came from different villages, it would naturally prevent them from sticking together.
"Brother Han, you are right!" Li Fuzi couldn't help but praise.
"Second, it is best if the new village guards are only responsible for the commercial and residential areas. Also, the captain and vice-captain must be from the Village Mo family. The R&D area, granary, steelmaking workshop, and other confidential areas must all be from the Village Mo family," Han Zheng continued. He was a Legalist and was very familiar with these policies. Furthermore, he had just joined the Village Mo family, so he naturally had to prove himself.
Everyone immediately nodded.
"Third, even if it is the village guards from outside the village, it is best if they are rotated every few years. These guards from outside the village may be as strong as the captain and vice-captain, but they can only be under people for a long time. After a long time, they will become disloyal." Han Zheng's last sentence could be said to be a heart-wrenching statement. Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
The Confucian and Mohist schools valued benevolence, righteousness, and morality the most. They believed that human nature was good, but the Legalists believed that human nature was evil. Everyone in the world was selfish and could only be driven by benefits. Although everyone thought that Han Zheng's words were not impossible, it still made them feel very uncomfortable.
Meton thought for a moment and said, "In that case, when you hire the village guards from outside the village, sign a contract in advance. For every year of service, in addition to the salary, there will be an accumulation of rewards. The limit is five years. After five years, the contract ends. The village guards from outside the village can take the generous rewards and go home to buy land or do business. If they do evil, immediately expel them from the Village Mo family. "
Meton's decision was based on the retirement pay of the army in the future. He believed that the temptation of benefits would definitely make those village guards from outside the village submit to him.
Seeing this, Han Zheng could not help but nod with satisfaction. This move of the Village Mo family was indeed in line with the essence of the Legalists. Only by using benefits to drive people's hearts could they prevent trouble before it happened.
After solving the problem of village guards, Meton could not help but look at Han Zheng with appreciation. He was right to invite Han Zheng here. With these three points alone, he could solve a lot of problems in the Village Mo family.
"Uncle Li, after the spring, immediately build a courtyard for Han Fuzi as Han Fuzi's office. It is specially responsible for dealing with disputes in the Village Mo family." Meton looked at Li Yi and said.
"Young master, don't worry. Leave it to me." Li Yi patted his chest and promised.
"Since Han Fuzi is a member of the Legalists, how about naming this courtyard as the court?" Meton showed a hint of cunning.
"Court?" Han Zheng's eyes lit up and he repeatedly applauded.
