Night fell.
The rainbow lights of the whole Chang''an city are always on! brilliantly illuminated.
Although there is a curfew in Chang''an City, there are many rich families after all. Every night, every family lights up lights in the square city.
On the south gate, two guards stood on the South Tower of Chang''an city. Looking at it, it seemed as if they were covered with a layer of blurred brilliance and had a unique scenery. This was the only fun of the gate guard every night. Once it was later, it would be a long night.
"What''s that?" suddenly a guard pointed behind him and exclaimed.
Another guard suddenly turned around and looked towards the official road in the south of the city. On the dark official road in the south of the city, a torch was particularly dazzling.
Then one torch after another was lit, and the lights were like a long dragon, lasting for several miles.
The two guards were shocked and faced the enemy. This is Chang''an city. If something goes wrong, they must be overwhelmed.
"Don''t be alarmed. This is Mojia village. They are rushing to build roads all night. They have already reported to me." a voice sounded behind them.
"General!" the two guards bowed when they saw the visitor.
He was officially the new guard General of Nancheng gate. He was not embarrassed at the request of Mojia village, but readily agreed. You know, the last guard General of Nancheng gate is still eating sand on the Great Wall. He doesn''t want to take the lesson of taking office again.
Moreover, the road construction of Mojia village is outside Chang''an City, and in order to avoid suspicion, it is guaranteed that it will not be close to Chang''an City for a mile.
"Road construction in Mojia village? Hasn''t the road at nanchengmen been completed?" they often take turns at nanchengmen. Naturally, they know the process of road construction in Mojia village.
The road of the whole official road in the south of the city has long been built flat. It can be said that it is in the crown. How can such a road be repaired again?
The guard of nanchengmen smiled bitterly and said, "who knows, it may also be the officials of the Ministry of work to check, and some still need to be corrected! After all, it is almost the date of acceptance by the Ministry of work, and it is normal for Mojia village to rush to work overnight."
The two guards also nodded suddenly and looked at the long lights in the distance. They not only sighed secretly that it is a luxury for ordinary people to light lights, but Mojia village has torches for miles, which are specially used to build roads. It is worthy of being the richest village in the south of the city.
The torch leaped and shone on Xu Jie and Merton''s faces, showing a different kind of red light.
"Young master, we really want to do this!" Xu Jie couldn''t help trembling.
Merton nodded solemnly and said, "let''s start!"
With Merton''s order, four-wheel carriages drove out of the darkness. Soon, a group of Mohist children wrote down green bricks from the car and spread them on the road one by one.
The road is paved with green bricks. If anyone learns of the move of Mojia village, he will be shocked.
At present, green bricks are a luxury, which can only be used by rich and noble families. Most of the houses built by ordinary people are thatched houses built with green bricks on the ground floor and mud embryos on the top. All the new houses in Mojia village are built with bricks and tiles, which has long been the envy of the surrounding villages.
When the shortcomings of the wagon were exposed, Merton knew that if he wanted to solve it, he had to imitate the hardened pavement of later generations.
Brick road is the lowest hardened road in later generations, but it is appalling in the Tang Dynasty. If Merton paves the road during the day, it will be blocked by many people. Therefore, Merton has to act overnight to create the established facts.
When the world knows the benefits of brick road, everything will be a foregone conclusion.
"The green bricks are ready!" asked Merton.
Xu Jie took a deep breath: "I inform you, young master, the bricks of more than a dozen kilns around Chang''an City have been wrapped up, and finally enough for the young master."
Fortunately, there are many rich households in Chang''an City, many of which are village kilns, and Xu Jie placed huge orders more than 20 days in advance, otherwise Xu Jie could not gather so many bricks in a short time.
"He Jiazhuang is also in it!" under the fire, a slight radian appeared at the corner of Merton''s mouth.
Xu Jie nodded and said, "according to the young master''s orders, all the bricks in HeJiazhuang have been bought."
Merton said, "then let them pull it all night!"
He Jiazhuang was stunned when he Jiazhuang sent out and pulled all the green bricks of the nail device to the official road in the south of the city.
"How dare you pave the road with green bricks!" villa leader he trembled with anger!
Merton nodded, "why not?"
"It''s a monstrous thing!" villa leader he said painfully.
In his mind, green bricks are used to build houses and walls. Even if HeJiazhuang has burned bricks for many years, there are only some roads paved with broken bricks in the village. He never thought of paving roads with intact bricks.
Merton snorted coldly, "why not build roads with bricks? Aren''t Zhuque street paved with bricks? Besides, how can Mojia village toss about in this official road every year?"
The pavement of Zhuque street located on the central axis is paved with bricks. There are drainage ditches and street trees on both sides of the road. When Merton saw Zhuque street, he made up his mind to build a brick road in Mojia village.
But at that time, Mojia village had just started, and Merton could only put his mind on Annah for the time being.
When the villages in the south of the city forced the Mojia village, Merton seized the opportunity, took advantage of the situation and gave himself an excuse to build roads.
"You are deliberately taking over the task of renovating the official way!" villa leader he said bitterly.
Only then did he understand why Merton promised so readily at that time, and made a military order to continue to contract the road in the future.
People are afraid of Merton''s repentance. So it seems that the Mexican family is afraid of their repentance.
Before, he was proud to show off that his village finally threw out the official road in the south of the city, but unexpectedly, he hit the calculation of Mojia village.
Merton smiled in the firelight., It goes without saying.
Xu Jie snorted coldly, "villa leader he is here to sell bricks today. How we use them is our own business. If villa he doesn''t sell, there are kiln factories in Chang''an City who are willing to sell bricks to Mojia village. You know, our Mojia village can offer a high price!"
Villa leader he looked uncertain. More than ten villages forced the Mojia village to the palace. Instead, they fell into the plan of the Mojia village. Not only did they have no loss, but they also easily solved the corvee every year in the future.
Among the villages, other villages are villains. He Jiazhuang is the only one who makes a profit by buying bricks. He wants to cooperate with the Mojia village. In this way, he Jiazhuang has sinned against other villages.
"Why don''t you sell!" villa leader he thought about the three interest time and immediately clapped his mind.
With the super large order of Mojia village, he Jiazhuang knows that it is poisonous and has to swallow it. After all, there are so many people in he Jiazhuang who live by selling bricks. If you lose such a large order, you can''t take yourself as the villa leader.
Merton and Xu Jie smiled at each other and settled the thorn head of Hejia village. The villages in the south of the city will be scattered sand and will no longer pose a threat to Mojia village.
