Next to the commercial district of Mojia Village, a tall building attracts the attention of everyone who comes and goes, this is the location of the village guards of Mojia Village, Mojia Village has nearly 200 village guards here, responsible for guarding the safety of Mojia Village and maintaining order in Mojia Village.

However, next to the village guard, an inconspicuous building looks a little cold and shabby, but this is a place that everyone in Mojia Village cannot ignore, this is the office of Han Fuzi, the court!

"Court!"

Li Shimin got out of the carriage, looked at these two words, and couldn't help reading them.

"Mojia Village has made a lot of money! Unexpectedly, let Han Fuzi escort him! "Li Shimin has some taste. I thought that he went to invite Han Zheng in person, but Han Zheng abandoned the high-ranking officials of the court and came to Mojia Village to revive the Legalist family.

"That's the honor of Mojia Village!" Merton agreed.

He hasn't been in Mojia Village for a long time, but Mojia Village has such a good atmosphere, Han Zheng can say that he has contributed a lot, and Han Zheng is full of peach and plums all over the world, and the students who came out of the Guozi Prison are all over the court, even the powerful don't want to mess with him easily.

"If Your Majesty is willing to give the Legalist an independent right of judgment, the old man is willing to return to the court even if he gives up this old bone." Han Zheng's voice came from outside.

"If the counties and counties decide the case today, it is fair and honest, and it can be done well by one person, so why do you need one more person to judge, so it is just a waste of people's fat and people's ointment." Li Shimin frowned. Merton's article on judicial independence he has read, although there are many benefits, but once judicial independence is implemented, there will be officials to take over the judicial power from the hands of the county order, which means that the Tang Dynasty will at least double the number of officials, which is a lot of money for the court, in addition, the court really does not have so many legalists to support judicial independence.

"A Confucian scholar who has read the Four Books and Five Classics all his life, and can't even memorize the laws and decrees of the Tang Dynasty, how can he make accurate judgments, make judgments based on one person's will, take care of human accidents, and how can he be fair and just." Han Zheng retorted.

What Han Zheng said is the truth, if you really want to assess the county decree of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that there are few people who can memorize the law and order, as for unjust, false and wrongful cases, they abound, and he has already severely reprimanded many cases of malicious distortion of the law in the legal column of the ink magazine.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "I have already dismissed those county orders, and I have Han Fuzi's legal column supervision, I believe that my Datang will be fair and honest." ”

Li Shimin's words are just to avoid the important and light, once the judiciary is independent, it is a great restriction on the imperial power, and as an emperor, he himself relies on the power of life and death to deter the courtiers, if he loses the power of life and death, and needs the Legalist to judge to decide life and death, then the imperial power has no deterrent power, these are all unacceptable to Li Shimin.

Seeing this, Merton hurriedly changed the topic and said, "By the way, Master Han, I don't know if the case just now has been clarified!" ”

Han Zheng sighed when he heard this: "It's not that the gambling house is forced to pay debts, the gamblers sell their wives and daughters, and force them into the Qinglou to repay their debts, and the gambling house Qinglou in the world has no such blood debts!" ”

As a legalist who can't rub sand in his eyes, in his opinion, there are too many violations and injustices in all corners of the Tang Dynasty, and he can't do anything, only Mojia Village is a pure land, which makes him quiet, which is also the reason why he wants to protect Mojia Village at all costs, and even in the construction of the rule of law in Mojia Village, he must be more careful than anyone else, and must be fair and just, so as to have a fair and just atmosphere in Mojia Village.

Li Shimin's face suddenly froze, and Han Zheng spoke bluntly, revealing the bloody dark side of Datang, which made his face extremely embarrassed.

There were still young Li Zhi and Jinyang behind Li Shimin, and when Mo Dun saw this, he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Mojia Village can make the people agree, thanks to the master's fairness and strictness, and the students haven't thanked the master yet?" ”

Han Zheng suddenly showed a hint of triumph and said: "Mozi said: Vote for me with a peach, repay it with a li, Mojia Village has given the Legalist an independent right to judge, and the Legalist will naturally return Mojia Village a bright future." By the way, this is the village rules that the old man has improved according to the case of Mojia Village in the past year, and I still need to let you see it. ”

Han Zheng said that he let Merton look at it, but in fact, he took a lot of copies of the village rules that had already been printed, obviously not just for Merton to see.

Merton handed it to Li Shimin and the princes, one copy each, and took a general look, and found that these village rules revised by Li Yi were very similar to the public security management regulations of later generations, and they were all trivial and cumbersome, and they were all places that could not be taken into account by some Tang Dynasty laws, but they were related to the daily life of the people.

Merton looked at it roughly and said: "In general, the students have no opinions, they can first take it to the villagers' assembly for approval, and after a period of trial, if there is no problem, it can be implemented." ”

Han Zheng nodded with satisfaction, extremely satisfied with Merton's strong support for the Legalists.

"Why is it handed over to the villagers' assembly for approval, in my opinion, this village rule is in order, and it is the best choice for governing the village, just give an order!" Li Chengqian asked puzzledly, the court has always formulated laws and decrees, where is the reason for the people's decision.

Merton patiently explained: "The purpose of formulating the village rules of Mojia Village is to manage Mojia Village, and after the villagers agree to the village rules, they will punish the villagers who violate the village rules, they will no longer complain, and it will also facilitate the implementation of the village rules. ”

"What if we find the problem later?" Li Chengqian asked.

Merton said without hesitation: "Han Fuzi will be responsible for revising the village rules, and when there are regulations that need to be changed, he will review the situation and revise them again and submit them to the villagers' assembly for discussion." ”

"Wouldn't that be a change of order!" Li Chengqian disagreed in his heart, saying that frequent changes in government decrees is the biggest taboo for politicians, and this is the truth of his royal education for many years, so naturally he will not be easily persuaded by Merton.

"Most of the village rules are revised once a year, and most of them are just supplementing the imperfect village rules, or revising the laws and regulations that are not suitable. Merton insisted that the Mo family's conformism eventually declined and almost perished, and now that they have learned their lessons, they will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the past.

The two argued with each other, on the one hand, to assert their own views, and on the other hand, they also said to Li Shimin, if the court argued.

One of them advocates stability, the other is aggressive, and neither can convince anyone.

Li Shimin nodded undeniably, Li Chengqian is not wrong to strive for stability, now the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and the whole body is moved, so it is natural to focus on stability, and Mojia Village is just a village, and the structure is flexible and timely adjusted and aggressive, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it.

When Han Zheng saw Li Shimin and his party leave the court, he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, Li Shimin had not yet adopted his suggestion.

However, this time he was not disappointed, with the support of Merton, with Mojia Village as the blueprint of Legalism, he wanted the world to see a different Legalism, a world that everyone yearns for.

"Rule by law village!"

"Abide by the law, understand the law, and use the law!"

"It's hard to find the village guard!"

Li Shimin looked at the streets of Mojia Village, which were lined with such slogans promoting the rule of law, shook his head and said with a smile: "In my opinion, it won't be long before Mojia Village will be renamed Fajia Village!" ”

Mo Dun smiled and said: "Mojia Village acts in accordance with the law of the country and the village rules, everyone acts in this way, and can even predict the behavior of the other party, as long as the other party does not violate the village rules and national law of Mojia Village, there is no need to worry about being oppressed and unfair, and Mojia Village will gradually grow, of course, the Legalists are extremely stubborn and rigid, and will only implement the village rules in accordance with the village rules, so the kid deliberately used the village assembly to modify the village rules to make up for this shortcoming." ”

"In my opinion, it's you kid who wants to save trouble!" Li Shimin glanced at Moton, this kid left Mojia Village for a year, and Mojia Village was not only not chaotic, but more people's hearts were more united, it was incredible to think about it.

Merton nodded without guilt and said: "This is the greatest advantage of the Legalists, the main energy of the Mojia Village today is to specialize in ink skills, and the Legalists create a stable environment for the Mojia Village, and abandon external interference, which is the most correct choice for the Mojia Village." ”

Li Shimin thought about it carefully and nodded involuntarily, now the Mo family and the Legalist family can be said to take what they need, the Mo family needs the escort of the Legalist, and the Legalist needs to verify the Legalist concept in the Mojia Village, and the prosperity of the Mojia Village is the best proof of the cooperation between the Mo family and the Legalist, at least for now, the cooperation between the two is extremely successful.

Even Li Chengqian, who was on the side, couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

Mo Dun breathed a sigh of relief, his main purpose today was to show Li Shimin the Mojia Village, not the monarch and the minister, so he had to guide the topic on the ink technique.

"Ahead is the R&D area of Mojia Village, where all the ink skills in Mojia Village are turned from ideas into reality, and finally mass-produced in the industrial zone, and finally sold to all parts of Datang through brick roads for the benefit of the people." Merton pointed to a fortress-like R&D area.

"R&D Zone!" Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up, this is the most core place in Mojia Village, and even he has heard of it.

Merton said: "It just so happens that today's Weichen wants to assess the Mojia Village industry, I believe that the R&D Zone must have prepared a lot of good things, and please take a look." ”

"Then I'm an eye-opener!" Li Shimin laughed and said, Li Tai on the side also showed an excited expression, since he developed the formation of the rain with ink techniques, he has become more and more interested in ink techniques.

"Greetings to the nobles, greetings to the young master!" At the entrance of the R&D area, Lao Zhangtou, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him.

"This is the treasure of my Mojia Village, Uncle Zhang, is the most skilled master of my Mojia Village, and your iron birch carriage is built by him." Merton explained.

"Master Zhang's craftsmanship is good!"

Li Shimin praised. Such a hard iron birch has so far made the craftsmen of the Imperial Inspector helpless, and its excellent defensive property has made Li Shimin full of praise.

When Lao Zhangtou heard this, he immediately showed a sincere smile and said: "Thank you for your compliment, the four-wheeled carriage given to the noble person is the first generation of products, and today Mojia Village has developed the second generation of four-wheeled carriage, and the small one has already been prepared for the nobles!" ”

"Oh! Then I can't wait! Li Shimin suddenly showed an interested expression.

"Your Excellency, please!" Uncle Zhang stretched out his hand to invite Li Shimin and his party to enter the R&D area.

As soon as you enter, you will see a beautiful four-wheeled carriage in the center, which is not only meticulously made, but also has a very streamlined shape, which is extremely amazing, and people can't put it down at first sight.

"Sure enough, it's still iron birch!" Li Shimin looked at its smooth texture and familiar texture.

As an emperor, no matter what kind of carriage he is, of course, he must focus on safety, iron birch is now known as the royal material for his car, and the performance of the sword defense really makes him love it, and what makes him even more satisfied is that this iron birch four-wheeled carriage is actually carved with various patterns, obviously the carving technology of Mojia Village has made great progress, and even iron birch can be carved.

Merton stepped forward and said: "This is a prototype of the second-generation carriage in Mojia Village, using the latest rollers and springs to make a shock absorber, which is more labor-saving and more stable. ”

Morton took a thick car spring from Uncle Zhang's hand and displayed it in front of everyone, the first generation of four-wheeled carriages used in the shock absorption facility is the simplest arc iron sheet, using the principle of iron sheet tension shock absorption, although there is a shock absorption effect, the shock absorption effect is not good, and it has long been studied by other carriages for cooking, imitations are everywhere, and the spring production process is now a major advantage of Mojia Village, the shock absorption effect is good, and immediately enlarged the advantages of Mojia Village and other workshops.

"Spring!" Li Shimin learned the principle of the spring, and couldn't help but nod.

"The second-generation four-wheeled carriage is more suitable for long-distance travel than the first-generation four-wheeled carriage, not only is it easy to drive, but the people in the carriage are also extremely comfortable and free from the suffering of bumps." Merton said triumphantly.

Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up, he was not a person who stayed in the palace for a long time, but now that the brick road is prevalent, with this carriage, his inspection range will definitely be expanded several times. Even if all the three vertical and five horizontal maps of the brick road are laid in the future, it will not take long for him to take a four-wheeled carriage all the way to inspect the world.

In his heart, he never thought of the idea of inspecting the world like Emperor Yang of Sui, but because of his reputation, he has always pressed it in his heart, and now the brick road paving and the popularity of four-wheeled carriages have made this idea more and more intense in his heart.

"However, how can we drive on a flat road and miss the scenery along the way." Merton proudly lifted the red cloth covering the carriage window, and was shocked to find that the original window was inlaid with a piece of crystal clear glass, through which he could clearly see the exquisite interior of the carriage.

"Such a big piece of glass!" Li Tai exclaimed.

Mojia Village used to throw out small pieces of glass products such as glasses or luminous glasses, and the largest was just a wine bottle that relieved a thousand sorrows, and there had never been such a large and flat glass.

Merton said proudly: "The winter is too cold, the windows need to be sealed when riding the four-wheeled carriage, and there are even a few fires due to heating in the car, but the second-generation four-wheeled carriage can clearly look at the scenery along the way through the glass from the inside of the car, and the inside of the car is as warm as ever." Moreover, the light from the same window can shine through the glass, and people can read books and newspapers in the car without being affected. ”

"Brother Mo really had a wonderful idea, and he actually combined glass and carriage, no wonder when Mojia Village was in crisis, Brother Mo was not in a hurry, and he thought he was confident!" Li Tai praised and said, as soon as the second-generation carriage of Mojia Village came out, which workshop could compete with Mojia Village, which alone mastered the secret technique of glass.

Merton shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Wei has a high opinion of Weichen, this is not what I came up with, the Mo family's children brainstormed to come up with a way to break the situation." ”

This time Morton was not modest, when the Mojia Village was in crisis, he directly put pressure on the Mojia Village, which workshop was in recession, and the person in charge was directly dismissed, which had today's results, when Morton learned, he was also surprised, and he did not expect that the children of the Mo family would actually build the prototype of the car in the future.

Almost everyone believes that once the second-generation four-wheeled carriage is launched, it will definitely be popular in the Tang Dynasty, and Mojia Village will definitely be more prosperous.
