"The Mo Family Village is doing well this year, and the profits have increased by 30% compared to previous years. …" Li Yi said in high spirits during the round-table meeting.
Compared to last year's downfall, the Mo Family Village was doing well this year, which allowed him to finally turn the tables.
Shen Hongcai carefully looked at the detailed reports of the Mo Family Village and carefully assessed the operating risks. He found that the Mo Family Village's operating system was very advanced. Ordinary merchants bought as much as they had the money, and when the goods were sold out, they would buy more.
However, the Mo Family Village was different. All the departments worked together, and every penny was used to achieve the most with the least amount of money. Originally, this model was very risky, and once something went wrong, it would lead to a financial crisis.
The previous crises in the Mo Family Village were caused by this. However, the establishment of the bank was an insurance for this model. As long as the bank did not have any problems, the Mo Family Village's model would be stable.
"The bank is the most important part of the Mo Family, and it must be operated smoothly. Once there is a crisis, other businesses can be suspended, but the bank must be protected." Meton looked around and said loudly.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on Shen Hongcai. Shen Hongcai took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your trust, boss. I don't deserve it."
Merton said, "Mister Shen, don't belittle yourself. The bank's function is the most important. Other than being responsible for the allocation of funds, it is also responsible for monitoring the abnormalities of the workshops. Other than checking the accounts of the workshops regularly, it can directly lead a team to investigate if there is any abnormality in the operations of the workshops."
Instantly, the Mo Family people's hearts tightened. Wouldn't Mister Shen have to supervise the other workshops? Immediately, they paid more attention to Mister Shen.
"What if there is really a problem?" Shen Hongcai said with a serious face. Meton had given him enough trust, and naturally, he also gave him a heavy responsibility.
Meton turned to Han Zheng and said, "Next, it will be the Legalists' business."
Han Zheng nodded and said calmly, "Brother Shen, it has always been the Mo Family's tradition to use a third party to supervise. I believe the Mo Family will do their best to cooperate."
Everyone from the Mo Family nodded and said, "What the two of you have done is for the sake of the Mo Family. We are grateful, so how can we have the slightest dissatisfaction?"
Li Yi said in a clear voice, "Brother Shen, don't worry. As long as there are any blind people who offend Brother Shen, there is no need for Young Master to say anything. This Li will be the first to not let them off."
No one doubted Li Yi's words. This old man had dedicated his entire life to the Mo Family. If anyone did anything to harm the Mo Family, Li Yi would definitely be the first to not let them off.
Meton nodded his head in satisfaction. "The reason why the Mo Family is able to get to where they are today is because of their advanced system. A third party is supervising them. On one hand, it's to avoid being tied down by the ways of the world. At the same time, it's to protect Brother Mo Jiazi and prevent them from making mistakes."
Han Zheng couldn't help but nod his head. In this aspect, the Mo Clan was better than anyone else. This was also the reason why the Mo Village had always been prosperous.
"Of course. In addition to the results, there are also many problems in the Mo Family's Village, such as the marriage of the Mo Family's women." Meton said seriously.
Li Yi immediately lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "Second Uncle is too indecisive."
Which family in the world didn't have a daughter who was not married out? However, when the parents of the Mo Family's Village begged him, he also softened his heart. After all, the Mo Family's Village had only lived a few days of good life. Once they married out of the village, they would probably return to that kind of hard life. That was why they begged Princess Changle.
At that time, they also wanted to marry a son-in-law. However, they didn't expect Meton to come up with a better solution.
"The marriage of the children is related to the future of the Mo Family's Village. How can we be so hasty? The Mo Family's philosophy is Love with Impartiality. Naturally, we can't tolerate any unfairness. In the future, don't even think about marrying a son-in-law." Meton said.
"You are right, Young Master!" Li Yi nodded seriously. This time, he almost made a big mistake because of his benevolence.
Han Zheng also sighed with emotion. What he felt most when he came to the Mo Family's Village was the fairer atmosphere here. There was no hierarchy, no arrogant bigwigs, and everyone was treated equally. This point happened to be in line with the philosophy of legalism. Naturally, it became the ideal experimental ground of legalism.
"Fortunately, it's not too late this time. Han Fuzi, I want you to draft the fairest marriage law as the village rule." Meton bowed to Han Zheng solemnly and said.
"The fairest marriage law?" Han Zheng couldn't help being stunned and looked at Meton in surprise. It should be known that in the Tang dynasty, there was already a marriage law. Was Meton dissatisfied with the current marriage law?
Meton said with a faint smile, "Does Han Fuzi think the current marriage law is very fair?"
Han Zheng couldn't help being surprised. He had never thought of this problem before. But when he thought that today's topic was the marriage of the women in the Mo Family's Village, he couldn't help but realize that Meton was fighting for the rights of the daughters of the Mo Family. However, the marriage law in the Tang dynasty guaranteed the interests of men, but was extremely harsh on women.
Meton nodded and said, "The Mo Family's Village has paid a great price to recruit a son-in-law for the Mo Family. Naturally, there will be corresponding requirements and conditions. This is also a kind of fairness in itself. What's more, what I want them to abide by is the fairest marriage law."
Han Zheng nodded. There was no problem with Meton's request. At the moment, he was greatly interested and said, "The fairest? How fair do you want it to be?"
Meton said confidently, "Of course, men and women should enjoy the same obligations and rights in marriage."
Han Zheng couldn't help but be stunned. As a law doctor, he naturally knew how much power men had in the marriage law in the Tang dynasty. If men and women wanted to enjoy the same rights and obligations, perhaps the power of men must be greatly weakened.
In the Tang dynasty, men could take concubines, but women could only be faithful to one man. Men could go to brothels, but women could only stay at home. All the property belonged to men. Once a woman was driven out of the family, she would definitely be homeless and extremely miserable.
Men could only rely on women and silently endure all the injustice, but they couldn't resist. However, the women of the Mo Family had the capital to resist.
Han Zheng thought for a while and felt that he still needed to remind Merton, "Meton, your starting point is good. But no matter how good the law is, it also needs to be obeyed and recognized by people. If the seemingly fair marriage law is not recognized by anyone except the Mo Family's Village, I'm afraid it will become a piece of paper."
Once such a marriage law, which greatly weakened men's power, was out of the Mo Family's Village, it was afraid that it would become a piece of paper. No one would obey it, and it wouldn't even be supported by the government.
"I've already thought about this. Naturally, there will be a way to solve it." Meton said confidently.
"Well, when do you need it?" Han Zheng stopped persuading him and nodded.
"Tomorrow, at the meeting of the Mo Family's Village, I will announce the selection criteria of the Mo Family's Village and the new marriage law as the village rules." Meton said confidently.
"That's the honor of the Legalism School!" Han Zheng laughed and said. Although he was destined to be sleepless tonight, he was still in high spirits. Once such a law came out, it was destined to leave a heavy mark in the history of the Legalism School.
