I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 178 Mohism's New Path for the Future

That's it?

That's it!
Chen Luo really felt that it was outrageous, and he had a huge psychological gap.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Most of the fields around Chang'an City are recultivated now, and it's not good to buy a lot of them. Brother Guo, do you think [-] mu is enough?
As for farming cattle, if Brother Guo is not in a hurry, you can wait for me to send someone to spend half a month to buy them for you at the market in Chang'an City.Hmm... two hundred cows? "

Chen Luo also had to spend a lot of money to buy so many fields and cattle.

It's just that compared with a "Chang'an Planning Map", they are just a drop in the bucket.

After Guo Li listened, his breath became stagnant.

I seem to have misunderstood Brother Chen's financial resources?

He shook his head hastily: "Mr. Chen, you don't need so much. Thirty or forty cattle and one hundred acres of plowed land are enough."

"It's okay. Brother Guo asked me for a field, how can I be stingy." Chen Luo paused, squinting his eyes, "Besides, Brother Guo didn't want to enjoy it for himself, so I can't afford it."

Hearing this, Guo Li let out a long sigh.

He was touched by Chen Luo: "Mr. Chen is indeed a man of righteousness, and it is not wrong for all the disciples of the Mohist school to follow each other."

Rubbing his chin, Chen Luo felt that he had received too many good person cards today.

An hour ago, he was praised by the "Han Dynasty Confucianism" as a gentleman, and now he is said to be a righteous person by the Mohist disciples.

In the history books in the future, wouldn't I stand on the commanding heights of morality and attack others to reduce dimensionality?

He coughed twice, and then said: "Mohist disciples are for the people and the common people. Although I don't interfere, I want to ask, is Brother Guo planning to distribute these fields to those common people?"

Guo Li nodded, then shook his head again: "Mr. Chen should have seen it when he came, these people are all victims of the war and their bones are weak.

They have no foundation in the local area, even if the big man can let them reclaim wasteland and turn it into their own... But many people can't wait for the day of harvest. "

Looking at the poor people who were leaning over to plow and sow seeds not far away, he couldn't bear to look directly at them, but he didn't want to look away.

"These people were originally good and obedient people. When they fled all the way, some had to sell their ancestral property, and some were forced to sell their sons and daughters. What are they asking for? They just want to survive." Guo Li's voice He said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, back then the world didn't allow people to live, but now the world is peaceful and the people's better days are coming soon. I don't want them to starve to death in... um..."

"On the eve of dawn?" Seeing that his description was stuck, Chen Luo added softly.

"Yes." Guo Li nodded vigorously, "Most of the disciples of the Mo family have had such a hard time, so they know that these people can survive if we are in charge, so everyone is here to help them open up wasteland. But the speed is still too fast. Slow down, many people can't wait that long."

Chen Luo took a deep breath and patted Guo Li on the shoulder.

Such empathy is rare.

What most people pursue is to live a good life for themselves and those around them. They are willing to do good deeds occasionally, and they are willing to criticize vicious incidents. This is a kind-hearted ordinary person.

Such behavior is beyond reproach and can be done with a clear conscience.

But some people can go one step further and are willing to give up their interests in order to fight for the interests of many people who have nothing to do with them.

Guo Li belongs to this kind of person.

Chen Luo didn't think he was being stupid.

Even if you can't do this, you won't laugh at yourself.

After all, Guo Li's eloquence and ability have been seen by himself. If he wants to ask for wealth, Chen Luo is willing to recommend him at any time, and let him be an official up to six hundred shi.

If the world is full of people like this, peace will probably not be far away.

"Brother Guo is truly righteous." Chen Luo looked solemn, "I have something to say to you here, but it might be a bit unpleasant. I wonder if Brother Guo is willing to listen?"

"Loyal words are hard to hear, Mr. Chen, please speak." Guo Li became serious.

Chen Luo turned around and looked at the poor people working in the fields, and said leisurely: "There are so many people in the world, and the disasters are not limited to military chaos?

Unfavorable wind and rain, earth dragons turning their backs, severe droughts, river embankments bursting, locust plagues and epidemics...all of these will make life difficult for thousands of displaced people.

Today I gave Brother Guo a good land, you can save the hundreds of poor people in front of you, but when the disasters I mentioned happen in the future, then give you a thousand hectares of good land to you, Brother Guo.

Enough, or not enough? "

Guo Li is silent.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "Everyone knows everything."

"This is not what Mohist disciples should specialize in. You should use better methods to save the world's poor." Chen Luo said flatly, denying Guo Li's current behavior.

The disciples of the Mohist school really practiced themselves and contributed their own strength.

They are not understood, do not ask for fame, meet the monarch alone, and prevent wars for the people.

This is respectable.

It's just that from Chen Luo's point of view, they just gave up their fundamental advantages and embarked on a sideways path.

"What does Mr. Chen mean?" Hearing this, Guo Li breathed faster, wanting to know the "better way".

Chen Luo raised a question and asked back: "Brother Guo, what do you think is the reason why the people in the world are not full? Is it because they don't work hard enough in farming?"

"No." Guo Li shook his head firmly.

This is not nonsense.

All kinds of miscellaneous taxes and natural disasters are fatal.

Could it be that there is another farmer who has reduced grain production by [-]% because he is too lazy?

Thieves can't steal half an acre of grain!

Chen Luo continued to ask: "Since it is not the case, what can be done to make the people full?"

Guo Li hesitated for a few seconds, and then replied: "Let every family be allocated about three acres of land, and then lightly pay and pay less, so that there will be no more poor and weak people needing to be homeless."

Smiling, Chen Luo shook his head and asked: "Brother Guo Li's idea is actually very good.

But natural disasters and man-made disasters can break such stability in an instant.

What's more, according to Brother Guo's approach, the world is peaceful, but what will happen in the next 50 or 100 years?

In the beginning, there were only tens of millions of people in the peaceful world. Will there be 5000 million, [-] million, or [-] billion people in the future?
At that time, will each family still have three acres of land? "

"How could there be..." At first hearing, Guo Li thought it was a fallacy, but after thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't refute it.

The world is peaceful, and the population will naturally increase rapidly. Even if a population of [-] million is too exaggerated for Chen Luo, the basic truth is still correct.

The increase in population exceeds the speed of land reclamation, plus the aristocratic family annexed the land, so it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to get three acres of land for each household.

"Then what can the Mo family do?" Guo Li looked a little sad.

Chen Luo realized that he had successfully fooled her, so she immediately pursed her lips, so as not to laugh out loud on this occasion.

The next thing he has to do is to let the Mo family embark on a brand new path in the future.

　The historical longevity stream belongs to a niche genre, and the poor ghost has not released any blockbusters since then.

　　It just so happens that the book in the link is also a history of immortality.

　　I'll make a sacrifice.

　　If you are interested, you can go and have a look.
