Mohist Tang

Chapter 2



How poor is Mojia village!

As long as you inquire, you will understand that every village around and everyone mentions Mojia village has only one impression, poor!

"Don\'t marry a daughter in Mojia village, but rather throw it in the riverside" has become a local famous saying. Anyone who can live well is unwilling to let his daughter marry in Mojia village to suffer poverty and suffering.

Therefore, women in Mojia village get married every year, but it is rare for men in Mojia village to get married. Over time, the whole Mojia village hoards a large number of singles.

But hearing is one thing, seeing is another.

Under the leadership of Uncle Li and uncle Fu, Merton saw the real Mojia village. A bumpy dirt road ran through the whole village. The road was full of villagers\' domestic sewage, black and smelling. On both sides of the road are low thatched houses. A bleak autumn wind blows, driving many thatched grass flying in the sky.

An old man with gray hair rushed out of the room and wanted to catch up with the blown grass, but he watched the grass fly higher and higher, finally gave up, and finally scolded and returned to the house.

"Hoo!"

Merton exhaled solemnly and said, "let\'s go!"

Walking along the bumpy path, Fubo and Li Yi looked at each other and followed closely behind Merton.

"There are 960 households and 512 people in Mojia village. This is your uncle Wang\'s family. Uncle Wang used to be the Lord\'s personal guard. He was a first-class hero in the divine work camp."

Fuber pointed to a thin one armed old man in front of a thatched house.

"Uncle Wang," Morton saluted respectfully.

"Young master, you\'re killing me!" one armed Uncle Wang quickly replied.

"This is your uncle Yu. He is called Master Yu. Being a fish is unique. He was the leader of the gang in the army in those years. Today, the holy master ate Master Yu\'s meal when he was in the army, which is full of praise." Li Yi pointed to a middle-aged man in his 40s in the nearby house.

"Hello, master fish!" said Merton.

"This is..."

"This is..."

Introducing the past one by one, Merton greeted one by one.

It is said that the young master came out to inspect the village. Many villagers rushed out of their homes and scrambled to watch and greet each other.

"Hello, young master!"

"Little Lord!"

"Little sir!"

……

Although the greetings are different, everyone respects Merton from the bottom of his heart. After all, Merton takes out his salary to relieve the Mojia village every year. Although Mojia village is the poorest village in dozens of miles, it is the most united.

In addition, Mohist advocates universal love for all living beings, and the whole village helps each other. No matter how big a disaster year, Mohist village has never starved to death.

Merton looked at the villagers\' respectful eyes and couldn\'t help getting sour, because he found that many villagers didn\'t have a complete dress, and most of them were wearing old patches repeatedly,

And now it is winter. Many villagers are still wearing single clothes. Everyone is yellow and skinny, and their eyes reveal sadness.

What\'s more sad is that a group of men came out, and few young women. There are too many singles in Mojia village.

"How many men in Mojia village didn\'t get married?" Merton asked in a low voice.

"351 people over the age of 18 have not been married. From six years of Wude to last year, a total of 20 families have been married in Mojia village, and none of the villagers have been married this year!" Li Yi sobbed with tears.

"Mojia village is so poor that all families who can make a living don\'t want their daughter to suffer in Mojia village." Fubo sighed.

Merton was silent, and an energy was rising in his heart. These villagers were the soldiers who fought with his father in all directions. They were all his father\'s brothers. Many people were brothers who grew up and played with him.

Now these people are living in deep water. Merton feels it necessary to change the current situation of Mojia village.

He wants to make the villagers of Mojia village live a happy life. He wants to make Mojia village a rich village in the world. This can not help but be the afterthought of this body, but also his responsibility as a present person.

Thinking of this, Merton was full of passion and stepped on a big stone pier.

"Uncles and uncles, brothers, you have suffered!" Merton bowed and apologized to the villagers.

"Little Lord, don\'t do it!" the villagers immediately urged. In their impression, it is when they salute the young master. There is no time when the young master salutes them.

"Young master, you can\'t do it!" Li Yi and Fu Bo also advised one after another.

Rao was persuaded by the villagers again and again. Merton still got up after three breaths and looked up at the dense villagers in front of him. Merton looked up slightly. All the villagers stopped all their actions and stared at Merton.

"Mojia village is very poor! Very poor!"

"Mojia village is full of disasters and disasters every year."

"The men in Mojia village can\'t marry their daughter-in-law, and the women in other villages don\'t want to marry. They\'re afraid of hardship!"

Merton\'s voice grew louder and angrier.

Every word, the heads of the villagers in Mojia village are one point lower. This is the pain of Mojia village. Many people are full of pain and tears, but no one cries.

"But none of these can defeat the villagers of our Mojia village. All the elders were heroes who followed our father\'s army all his life, and other brothers were good brothers who grew up with us.

Merton paused, looked at the head gradually raised by the villagers and said in a high voice: "today, I Merton stand here and promise you that from now on, the Mojia village will not suffer from hunger and cold. Every brother in the village can marry a daughter-in-law. In my lifetime, I want to make the Mojia village the richest village in the whole Tang Dynasty."

No longer hungry or cold, can you marry a daughter-in-law and become the richest village in Datang?

Is that possible? You know, they are now the poorest village.

Seeing the villagers\' disbelief, Merton felt a pain in his heart. He knew that these things were things they had never dared to think about.

He doesn\'t expect the villagers to believe him right now, because all this depends on the facts.

Merton looked at everyone and said solemnly, "I know the road is long and difficult, but I will work side by side with my uncles, uncles, brothers and sisters. I promise that if you have a meal from the Mohist house, you will not be hungry. You will not only have to go through the most difficult period of the Mohist village, but also have a better life than others."

"Young master benevolence and righteousness, I just give up this old bone and fight with the young master!" Li Yi suddenly shouted. Now the Mojia village is at a critical juncture. The young master can wake up in time and lead everyone through the difficulties. That\'s the spirit of the old Sir.

"The general is loyal, the young master is benevolent and righteous, and my old fish will work with the young master." the fish Master said heavily.

"My old Fu follows the young master too!" Fu Bo also stands up.

"After fighting, we\'ll work with the young master."

"Fight! How poor can you be?"

"Yes, maybe we can fight another world."

More and more people began to respond. Merton looked at these people. His eyes were no longer confused and painful. What he took was hope, and he couldn\'t help nodding secretly.

Merton stretched out his hand, and everyone immediately calmed down and stared at him.

"Now I\'m going to issue a task, Fubo! Count the grain in the house immediately and relieve some villagers who can\'t open the pot first," Merton ordered Fubo.

"Yes, old slave," replied fuber.

Merton looked at Li Yi again and said: "Uncle Li, you should immediately organize people to repair all the roads in the village. Some villagers\' houses are badly damaged. You should immediately organize people to repair them. Some villagers\' houses can no longer live. They should be placed in the house. After you allocate the specific wages, let them go to the house to find uncle Fu. You can ask for money and food."

"Young master, benevolence and righteousness! We build roads and houses for ourselves. How can we let the young master pay again? Everyone says yes or no!" Li Yi shouted to the villagers.

"Yes, we work for ourselves. How can we make the young master pay?"

"Young master, now most of our families still have grain, which can support some time."

“…………

The villagers are very simple and say one after another.

"Then write it down first. When Mojia village is well-off in the future, you can make compensation to everyone. If you need it, you can withdraw it immediately," Merton said.

From later generations, he knows that the passion of big pot can\'t last long, and a steady stream of income is the driving force of people\'s struggle.

Li Yi thought for a moment. This is indeed a way. After all, some families do have difficulties.

"Young master, wise!" Li Yi was convinced. He thought Merton was a whim. Now it seems that the villagers of Mojia village are full of fighting spirit and may really succeed under Merton\'s leadership.

Thinking of this, Li Yi became more energetic and shouted, "those in the east come here and follow Lao Wang to repair the road, while those in the West follow me to repair the house."

"All right!"

The villagers immediately responded.

From the beginning to the end, they never doubted whether Merton had the ability to lead them to wealth, but they never thought what a brilliant road they would embark on.
