"After the New Year, the focus of the transport team is the construction of the service station. It doesn't matter if it costs more. Once it's completed, the Mo's Village will benefit a lot." Meton said.
In this slow era, this move would definitely make the Mo's Village more efficient, and the previous investment would definitely be recovered several times.
Although everyone knew that the idea of the service station was indeed good, they still felt the pinch. A courier station was something that only the imperial court could afford, and a huge sum of money had been invested into it every year. In the entire Chang 'an City, perhaps only someone as generous as Moton would think of such a thing and be willing to spend so much money. He was indeed worthy of being called a prodigal.
For Meton's big spending, others had already been used to it, even Teacher Li didn't deny it. Han Zheng couldn't help but nod secretly, and thought more highly of Meton's influence in the Mo's Village.
Han Zheng didn't dislike it. The Legalism School relied on powerful people. The more Meton's words carried weight in the Mo's Village, the more beneficial it would be for the survival of the Legalism School.
Li Xin nodded. Once the service station was completed, the transport team would definitely operate at a high speed, which was also beneficial to him.
"Boss, can you let other teams stop at the service station? If so, the cost of building the service station will be greatly reduced." Xu Jie was moved in his heart.
Meton smiled knowingly and said, "Of course. The Mo's Village is an open one, and the service station is open to the public. Even for some merchants with good reputation, they can rent the horses of the Mo's Village!"
Xu Jie was suddenly enlightened. "If that's the case, then this service station is very promising."
If the flow of people at the service station increased, then in the future, inns and hotels could be developed, and the service station could collect money without doing anything.
Meton couldn't help but think more highly of Xu Jie. He deserved to be a rich businessman who had been in Chang 'an City for many years. He really had a keen business vision. The courier station of the imperial court could only lose money because of its unique use. However, the service station of the Mo's Village could become a treasure bowl.
Li Xin slowly came back to his senses. Young Master's request to travel from Chang 'an to Luoyang in such a short time was probably not to set foot in the passenger transport business. Perhaps the service station was his final goal.
"The arrangement of the Mo Family Village for the next year will focus on the brick road and Chang 'an City and Luoyang City. All the departments can refer to these two points in their business development." Meton looked at the crowd and formulated the general direction of the Mo Family's future.
Everyone nodded. Once the service station was built, the distance between Luoyang and Chang 'an City would be greatly reduced. Long distance travel would no longer be a problem, and Luoyang's importance would immediately be highlighted.
"Mo Hospital and the Mo family's Gourmet City are going to open a branch in Luoyang. You can choose reliable people to head to Luoyang," Meton said to Master Yu and Hua Yuan.
The two of them were overjoyed. If they had heard that they were going to Luoyang before, they would have been displeased. However, when they heard about the plans for the service station and the fact that they could travel from Chang 'an to Luoyang in a day, they no longer had any objections.
"Let the Old Man go to Luoyang himself! Leave Chang 'an City to Yu Er! He has already received my true teachings, and is more than qualified for the job, "Master Yu volunteered.
Meton nodded and said, "Uncle Yu will definitely be able to open up the situation in Luoyang if he goes there personally."
"That's great. Let me accompany Brother Yu. Brother Sun will be enough to hold the fort in Chang 'an City," Hua Yuan nodded and said.
Meton nodded. Sun Simiao was specially allowed to stay by the Emperor for the sake of the Empress's illness. In addition, he was already old, so it was indeed inappropriate for him to go to Luoyang City. Moreover, Sun Simiao's reputation was more than enough to hold the fort in Chang 'an City.
Meton turned to Master Li and said, "Next year, the Mo Family Village will build ten schools. One of them will be in the business district of the Mo Family Village, and three more will be built within ten miles of the Mo Family Village."
Although the Mo Family Village was rich, they naturally could not monopolize it. It was necessary to build some schools and build a good relationship with the neighboring villages. Moreover, most of the people in the neighboring villages came to the Mo Family Village to work. They were relatively wealthy, and there were many talents who were willing to send their children to the schools. There was no need to worry about the source of students.
Master Li nodded. The Mo Family Village had contributed money and manpower, so it was not a big deal to be selfish! Moreover, the villages that Meton had arranged were all very suitable locations. What he wanted was universal compulsory education. As for where to start, it was not important.
Han Zheng also nodded secretly. Meton was not a hypocrite to be able to prioritize the interests of the Mo Family Village without hesitation.
"Master Li, how about you arrange the remaining six schools?" Meton said to Master Li.
Master Li thought for a while and said, "Three in Chang 'an City and three in Luoyang City."
Originally, Master Li did not intend to open the schools in Luoyang. However, after listening to Meton's plan, he realized the importance of Luoyang and arranged the three schools in Luoyang City.
"The construction of the schools will be done by Shopkeeper Xu. The Legalists will be in charge of supervision. Finally, Master Li will be in charge of the inspection and acceptance." Meton simplified the construction process of the future and explained it to everyone.
The three of them nodded immediately.
Although Han Zheng was sitting there quietly, he kept observing. He had never seen the Mo Family Village so strict in his life. Even the Ministry of Works of the imperial court was not so strict.
Although it was better to be a villain first than a gentleman, it was better to prevent trouble before it happened. This was in line with the Legalists' idea.
"At present, the Mo Family Village has no surplus labor. If the Mo Family Village wants to continue to develop, we must recruit talents from outside. As for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Shopkeeper Xu can continue to hire talents with integrity and talent." Meton told Xu Jie.
"Young master, don't worry. The treatment in the Mo Family Village is the best in Chang 'an City. There are many talents who want to join the Mo Family Village." Xu Jie said confidently.
Meton shook his head and said, "This is far from enough. The real talents will not be attracted by this. In the future, all the migrant workers who are recruited by the Mo Family Village will be included in the Mo Family Village's free medical insurance and enjoy a half-price discount. Their children will also enjoy the compulsory education of the Mo Family Village."
Everyone could not help but raise their heads. If so, there would be a large number of talents joining the Mo Family Village in the future. After all, the conditions of the Mo Family Village were really attractive.
"In this regard, Mr. Hua, Shopkeeper Xu and Mr. Li, you three must work together to keep talents in the Mo Family Village." Meton said to the three of them.
"Don't worry, boss!" Xu Jie nodded heavily.
Hua Yuan nodded without saying anything. With the half-price discount and the subsidy from the Mo Family Village to the Mo Hospital over the years, the Mo Hospital did not suffer a loss.
As for Mr. Li, he did not care. What he cared about was the compulsory education. The more people there were, the happier he would be.
Finally, Meton looked at Li Yi. Li Yi was in charge of the Mo Family Village and had great prestige. In the past year, the Mo Family Village had developed rapidly, and Li Yi also contributed a lot.
"We need to build another nursing home in the Mo Family Village." Meton said.
"Nursing home?" Li Yi was puzzled.
Meton nodded and said, "In the future, the Mo Family Village will take care of the elderly who are over 60 years old. I want the Mo Family Village to be educated, sick and old. I want the Mo Family Village to be a place that everyone in the Tang dynasty yearns for."
"There is education for the young, treatment for the sick, and care for the old!"
Everyone felt proud. The Mo Family Village, which was like a paradise on earth, was built by them little by little.
"Don't worry, young master!" Li Yi promised solemnly.
Han Zheng was excited. He could not help but look at Meton. If so, the Mo Family Village would be too high-profile.
Modun smiled. The Mo Family Village had a unique status. Even if they kept a low profile, it would be useless. It was better to be high-profile and expose the Mo Family Village to the public. In this way, the Mo Family Village would be safer.
