warring states careerist

Chapter 116
Hearing this, Shi looked down at the seven-page legal decree, and wanted to laugh in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged after all.

Sometimes it is useless to rely on words to reason. If you are comfortable with your heart, let you kings who still have fantasies come and wake up everyone who is still dreaming.

He felt that some words were useless, and some Mohists also thought that maybe they would do the same thing after explaining the truth to the monarchs and nobles.

Mozi is someone who has a certain hope for this.

He has told a lot of stories about how the king of Chu was so thin, and how he leaped into the sea of ​​fire. Even though the kings could only think of him when he was defending the city, he still wanted to try.

Since even Mozi couldn't convince him, Shi didn't try to explain it clearly to the people.

At this time, when there is still a lot of land and the population limit is not reached, the productivity is low and life is hard. It is only the suffering of the widowed, and it is not to the point of uneven suffering, and the contradictions are not sharp. This kind of fantasy always exists.

Listening to the wishes of all the people, thinking that some Mohists also hope the same, Shi nodded and said: "We will talk to you about this, maybe it is possible."

He didn't ask what to do if it doesn't work, it's not the time yet.

He also said: "We Mohists came here this time to do righteousness. We hope that the tax will remain unchanged, and the yield per mu will increase. New seeds, cattle, grains, and many new planting techniques, you have already heard Or have seen it, it’s always okay.”

"Autumn is coming soon. After harvesting this season, you can plant wheat flour. You have already eaten the wheat flour. You have asked and met those who planted wheat flour in Shangqiu Village. Please wait for the king's request. We will talk about it next year when we pay taxes and fees.”

Hope was mentioned again, and the people thought that maybe the monarch might really agree to their request, and they were even happier.

Seeing this, I will not mention those unpleasant things for the time being.

After a lapse of one and a half days, everyone was excited again with hope, and then continued to discuss various possible crimes and laws.

This is actually similar to the Qin law, except that Qin law followed the law of the top, officials passed on the law, and the people took the officials as teachers, so that they were synonymous from top to bottom.

What follows here is that the people set the law, the people recommend the officials, and the people take the Mohists as their teachers, so that they are synonymous from bottom to top.

The key difference is, what, exactly?
This is a problem Mohists have to solve, and it is the primary problem. Now it has been solved by relying on the change that the general will is the general will, and the general will may not be the monarch.

Now it seems that the result is the same as the Qin Reform, but it will be very different in three to five years, and the people's ideas will be completely different.

It also saves the stage for the officials to explain the laws to the people, which can be implemented more quickly, and the people themselves are willing to accept it.

It is not yet time for these men to fight wars, or defend the lives they have gained.

Therefore, there is no need for the various strict regulations such as recruitment and service in the Qin Law for the time being, and the Mohist has no legitimacy in this regard for the time being, and the trust reached is not enough, and the external conditions will not be enough within a few years As for life and death.

Most of them are civil law content, and do not involve the mandatory content of the state apparatus for the time being.

Therefore, although the laws and regulations are cumbersome, after the third day, basically nothing can be said about the situation, and in the end there are only twelve sheets of paper.

There are also two full chapters that belong to theoretical and guiding constitutions, rather than specific laws.

People call it the Twelve Grass and Silk Law, or the Peiyi Wanmin Law, as a common name.

After discussing the laws and decrees, the government was established logically.

According to the previous investigation, population distribution, village community composition, uncultivated land, etc., the area that Mohists can control in the entire Peiyi area is divided into five townships and eighteen pavilions.

In total, there are Niasang Township, Peize Township, Nanshan Township, Sishui Township, and Peiguo Township. If everything goes well next year, there may be some things like merging villages.

The first four townships are basically selected from the villages where the Mozi have been deeply involved and have already won the hearts of the people. The last Peiguo Township is the land outside Peiyi. The center of parallel self-organization of the Song regime.

The eighteen pavilions will build a water mill according to the previous idea.Once the Sumai is harvested this year, these eighteen pavilions can become the center of the surrounding villages in material terms.

In the center of each township, a small oil press workshop and a center for gatherings will be established in name for sacrifices, but in fact for gatherings. Control each township.

In addition to edible oil, in the future ink carts, double-shaft horse carts and ox carts will gradually increase in various villages and pavilions, and they will also need to be lubricated.

Some inedible oils such as soybeans, rapeseeds, hemp seeds, future cotton, carrot seeds, and castor can also be pressed.

Each village kiosk will also be used to teach new planting, ferment manure, recycle toilet salt, etc.

The school issue discussed with Mozi a few days ago, considering that there are not many Mozi who can be teachers, so it is impossible to say that every pavilion is popular, and even every township has one. Pei Guo, a place where Mohists gathered, was established.

Although the legal agreement and hope have been given, the trust that the Mohists have received now is not enough to support doing more things, at least until after the wheat harvest in May next year.

Based on this existing trust, what can be done is to gather the strength of everyone after planting Sumai, and first establish a pavilion government, a township government, a mill, a market, etc. It is a building that can benefit every country pavilion.

As for building roads, digging rivers, building canals, and water conservancy projects, it is not possible for the time being, because the Mohist can only rely on trust for the time being, and it is impossible to use up these trusts too early.

"Historical Records" once said that the people have three things not to deceive.

The so-called Zichan governs Zheng, and the people cannot be bullied; Zijian governs a single father, and the people cannot bear to bully;

Zichan is in charge of Zheng Guo, and there is a powerful family behind him. He uses both relaxation and relaxation methods, has a keen eye, and uses the carrot and stick policy extremely skillfully, and the people cannot be bullied.

At the beginning of opening the fields and disposing of the private fields, everyone cursed and wished they could hire assassins to kill them; but Zichan was strong enough to hold on, and people praised him later, and wept bitterly when he died.

When Mi Zijian ruled Shanfu, the people could not bear to bully the people who had to consider the meaning of the people.

Mi Zijian has good friends with the local big family, and what kind of people this person is remains to be discussed.It is said that there were three fathers, five brothers, ten friends, and one teacher in Shanfu's house. Obviously, he had the support of the local wealthy family.

Later, Qilu fought and passed Shanfu.The wheat in Shanfu’s public field was about to mature, and the local people said that they would be robbed by the Qi people anyway, so it’s better to let the local people harvest it and eat it. Mi Zijian disagreed, thinking that this would encourage people to get something for nothing... Because the wheat in this public field does not belong to ordinary people, it is better to let the enemy eat it than to give it to the people, lest the people look forward to the enemy's return.It is very cool for people of Qi to plunder wheat to make military rations, so Mi Zijian has been praised for thousands of years and is considered to be the long-term plan of a Confucian gentleman.

As for Ximen Bao, who was ruling Ye in the Wei region at this time, the people really dare not bully him.

As soon as they went there, they borrowed the matter of offering sacrifices to Hebo and killed a group of them. Wei Si, who was going to reform, supported him behind him, and Ye was stuck in an important place between Zhongmu, the capital of Zhao, and Handan, another big city. Dare to bully, dare to bully will let them see the violent machine after the reform.

After the water conservancy of Zhanghe River was built, Simon Leopard said directly: People can be happy but not start with worry.The people are ignorant, they are happy to see success, but they cannot discuss why it is done.

These three no-deceptions can actually be used, but the people in Peiyi are not the "people" mentioned in the three no-deceptions, so the usage is quite different.

For the time being, the villagers can't bear to be bullied, the wealthy people can't be bullied, and the ethnic people can't be bullied.

Only by clearly distinguishing the concept of people can things be accomplished.

Ximen Leopard's words seem to make sense, but many things he said have proven not to be true.

When we have really made it clear to the people that it is for their benefit and have enough trust, the construction of water conservancy projects is something that the people are willing to do as long as they are guided.

The special nature of the Peiyi government and the plan for the future also determined that it could only do this and not use coercive means like Ximen Leopard, at least this year it is unrealistic.

I believe that if the planting of winter wheat is successful this year, the fermented manure technology of ox plowing and ridge farming is popularized, and the seeds of new crops next year are enough to be allocated to each village, this kind of trust and the result of explaining that everyone benefits will be enough to use Repair water conservancy, build iron and steel, establish an army and so on.

Today, the nominal government of Peiyi government is a self-organization of the people independent of the Song Dynasty. It only has the legal principle of self-organization, which seems fragile.

However, because the Song State has not reformed its laws, and the law is still aristocratic secret law and has no written law, this self-organization parallel to the Song State's jurisdiction will become the real political power of the Peiyi Township Society.

Once any disputes arise among the villagers in these townships, they should be resolved within the village community. Now that there is such an organization, it will become the only place they can rely on.

Shi is very familiar with this situation, just like the villages where he saw secret missions in his previous life. Once something happened, he would solve it internally, and basically would not look for the real grassroots organization.

At this time, it is more convenient. Song State has never reformed at all, so it is impossible to have the grassroots organization after the Qin Reform, and it is unimpeded.

This seems to be parallel, but in fact it is the establishment from scratch.

This self-organizing model will not attract opposition from nobles for the time being.

Mozi is not the governor of Peiyi, so he does not have all the governance rights over Peiyi.

But a city is a city, after all, it is the people, not the city itself.

Therefore, even if this kind of self-organized township leader is not the Peiyi governor clearly designated by Song Gong, he is a real but unknown real Peiyi governor.

The Mohists don't care about the affairs in Peiyi City for the time being, and the Chu people haven't formally sent troops yet.

In view of the fact that the five townships and eighteen pavilions have been divided, a higher-level organization that covers the five townships and eighteen pavilions is also needed.

If it is called Yi, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction with the nobles, so the Mohists chose a name that has been used by Chu people but not yet popular in the Central Plains: county.

The people unanimously agreed that Mohists as a whole should be the person in charge of the county government and the intermediary executor between the Peiyi Wanmin Law and the people who signed the contract.

At the same time, according to Guan Zhong's reform, five candidates for township head were selected from among the Mohists, and the five candidates were elected in an equal number of elections. These five people were asked to explain their abilities, strengths, and talents one by one, and almost all of them passed.

In the same way, the Mohist provided a list of eighteen pavilion chiefs internally, and all of them passed.

Although these 23 people are not at the level of Mo Zhe's Seven Enlightened Harms, they are all virtuous and capable people.

So far, six days have passed since the first day of the gathering, and a roughly county-level organization with government functions has been simply set up.

The civil law is in place, the farming cattle are ready, autumn is coming soon, the seeds of new crops can be planted in almost every pavilion, and the government can be regarded as simple and simple. Signed and stamped the legal agreement, and used this to register the household Qimin.

Once the fingerprints are printed on the paper after the Peiyi Wanmin Law, the legal theory of the Mohist's righteousness here is completely obtained.

On the one hand, there is the permission of the old system of monarchs and nobles, and on the other hand, the permission of the people is obtained through the law of the agreement of all peoples.

The former may renege at any time, but the latter will only become more supportive.Even if the former repents, it doesn't matter, Mo Zhe will still be the uncrowned king outside Peiyi City.

So far, the Mohists can be regarded as truly possessing the qualifications and foundation to do righteousness in Peidi.

In this way, what happened on the seventh day became a matter of course: in Mo Zhe's technique of defending the city, heavy punishments are used to deter them, and it is not enough to act righteously with gentleness, so those witch wishes can become a sample of punishments and deterrence.

Immortal sacrifices, live sacrifices, collecting money, offending ghosts and gods, etc., can all arouse the emotions of the people and sentence these people to death, and there is one more important thing-the money they get from collecting money is what the people hope and like to get back. of.

　Vocabulary such as township head and company commander existed in the time of Duke Huan of Qi.It's just that the company commander at that time was at a higher level, with a company of 200 people and four tanks.The name of military division, brigade, regiment and battalion company is the real retro.The county should be used first by the Chu people, and Peidi was later an important component of Western Chu. The highest county magistrate of Chu was called Gong, so Liu Bang's army was called Peigong.In a few decades, many things can be changed, even local demographics and ways of thinking.In 284 BC, Peicai belonged to Chu.And Liu Bang's army was only 209 years ago. For 70 years, Pei has been managed by Chu people only known as Chu.It must be the wheat from the public field, and the wheat from the private field cannot be explained. Moreover, private mu had just appeared at that time, and Confucius had a falling out with Ran Qiu because of the tax reform of private mu.
