Once people had a goal, they would burst out with extraordinary passion. And when a group had a goal, they would create countless miracles.
Now, the Mo's Village was such a group full of passion. Everyone was busy working like a part.
Those who knew how to fish couldn't be called out in the river, so they cast nets one by one. Those who were repairing roads built the roads of the Mo's Village neatly. Every road was made solid and flat by stones, and its standard was comparable to the official road. The roads in the village even extended for five miles and were connected with the official road.
This strange situation even shocked several nearby villages. They all came to see what was going on. But the people of the Mo's Village just smiled and said nothing.
"What a joke! This is the foundation of our Mo's Village. How can we let you know? "Li Yi sent away another group of people from the neighboring villages and sneered.
"Great!"
Li Yi looked at the bustling situation of the Mo's Village. He hadn't been so happy for a long time. Now he was full of confidence about the future of the Mo's Village. He was not sure whether it could become the richest village in the Tang dynasty, but he was sure that it could be better than the villages he had just visited.
Three days later, at the first glimmer of dawn, Modun was woken up by Zi Yi. This time, Modun did not mind Zi Yi disturbing his sleep at all, because today was the day he was going to Chang 'an to sell fish.
"Fifteen waterwheels!"
Meton was surprised to see the waterwheels placed neatly at the gate of the Mo's Mansion. There were as many as fifteen waterwheels, which was far more than the amount he had expected.
"Master Zhang, thank you for your hard work!" Merton said.
"It's all because of everyone's hard work. We worked in shifts for three days without any rest. So we could make five more carriages." Old Zhang said modestly.
Dong, dong, dong!
Meton gently knocked on the wooden board above the waterwheel. Listening to the sound of fish splashing on the water, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. The Mo's Village was indeed the only remaining village of the Mo's Family. The craftsmanship passed down by the ancestors was not abandoned at all.
Meton was very satisfied with the waterwheel, and he improved it. By using the rotation of the wheels as the driving force, the oxygen supply was turned to provide oxygen for the fish in the waterwheel. It could save manpower and keep it secret.
"Young Master! All the fish have been loaded into the waterwheel! "Uncle Fu bowed and said.
Meton nodded and turned to look at the eager eyes of the surrounding villagers. Their eyes were filled with hope, but there was also a kind of worry that their dreams would be shattered.
"Fellow villagers! Don't worry, we will succeed this time! "Meton promised the villagers.
"Let's go." Meton waved his hand.
Seven young men stepped forward on each waterwheel. Two pulled, one controlled the direction, and four pushed from behind.
That's right, all of it is manpower. The Mo Family is so poor that they don't even have a cow to plow the fields.
The Mo Family Village was 50 miles away from Chang 'an.
Every ten li, the entire caravan had to stop and be inspected.
Ten miles ahead, the fish are still alive!
Twenty miles, still alive and kicking
Thirty miles, still nothing happened.
Every fish within forty miles was leisurely blowing bubbles. There was no difference at all between this place and the river.
Fifty miles ahead, the whole city of Chang 'an was already in sight. Li Yi grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the waterwheel. Hearing the rumbling sound of people scrambling for food in the waterwheel, he finally felt relieved.
"We made it this time!" Li Yi and Uncle Fu looked at each other and couldn't hide the joy in the corners of their eyes.
Looking at Meton, who was still alive and kicking after fifty miles, they couldn't help but feel excited. According to this, the Mo Family Village would rise soon.
Chang 'an, Chang' an, the ancient capital of thousands of years.
Meton was very excited. The tiredness of the fifty-mile journey had already disappeared. How could he not be excited when he came to this great imperial capital?
It was not that Meton was not tired, but that Meton was so excited that he didn't feel tired at all.
"We've arrived at Chang 'an!" Li Xin's loud shout came from the front.
Everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed. It was Chang 'an, the center of the empire and the place of hope for the Mo Family Village.
Morton raised his head abruptly and saw a huge city gate appear in his line of sight. Although Morton had seen the restored version of the city wall in his previous life, when he saw the city gate with his own eyes, he realized that it had a different charm.
The mottled city walls were full of bumps and hollows. These were the traces left behind by numerous battles. In some inconspicuous places, there were mottled moss. These were the footprints left behind by time. A dense killing aura assaulted the face. The smooth and smooth imitation city walls of the future couldn't compare to this.
The city gate was very wide, so there was no problem for four carriages to go side by side. There were several soldiers at the gate who routinely checked the passing caravans.
Li Yi unfolded the banner of the Mo Family. Meton was now the county earl, so he could enjoy some privileges and smoothly enter Chang 'an without waiting in line.
Chang 'an was the political, economic and cultural center. Students from all over the country, envoys from foreign countries, and merchants from the Western Region all gathered in Chang' an. The prosperity here was incomparable to the poor ditch in the Mo Family Village. The young men of the Mo Family Village all stared at it.
"Look, that's a barbarian with green eyes and red hair. He's so scary!" The young men of the Mo Family Village shouted when they saw a barbarian.
"What are you looking at? You've never seen the world! "Li Yi scolded loudly.
"Father! We've never been here before! "Li Xin said with grievance.
"You've never been here before! If we succeed this time, you can live in Chang 'an in the future! "Li Yi said loudly.
"Really?" The young men were surprised.
"Of course it's true!" Moton said loudly.
"The Mo Family Village will be prosperous in the future, and Chang 'an is the key. We will arrange people to live in Chang' an in the future. It depends on your performance. At that time, you can even marry a barbarian, let alone a barbarian!" Meton encouraged them.
More than a hundred young men could not help but feel excited. The tiredness of rushing for 50 kilometers had long disappeared and was replaced by a strong fighting spirit. It was a dream to be able to stay in Chang 'an City!
As for marrying a barbarian, it was impossible. There was a rule in the Mo Family Village that no one could marry a barbarian even if he was single all his life.
Looking at the high-spirited people of the Mo Family Village, Meton couldn't help but feel excited. These young men were energetic and smart. They were the seeds specially selected by the Mo Family Village. They were the pillars of the Mo Family Village when they came to Chang 'an for the first time.
Looking at the bustling streets of Chang 'an, the endless stream of people and the noisy hawkers of the shops on both sides, Meton shouted in his heart.
