chapter 121

May of the Year of Wuyin.

Luoyi, which is far away from Peiyi, is experiencing a major event that affects the structure of Zhuxia.

The people in Peiyi don't care about the general situation that makes Jiuding shake, and the emperor will lose a relative with the same surname to make a big country, but only care about the winter wheat that is about to be harvested in the field.

It has been more than half a year since the last law agreement between the people, and time flies.

The passing time at this time is not the time that can be cut off, but the perilla that can be used as medicine. The young sprouts sway in the midsummer wind and give off a fragrance, for those children who are greedy for roasting perilla seeds with salt They flickered out hope.

On the same road to Peiguo Township, Wei, who moved here from Shangqiu, pushed an ink cart with a big bamboo basket filled with some strange powder.

On the side of the field, there are many strong men like him, using the word wheat wave from the Mozhe, and imagining the appearance of the sea that they have never seen in their entire lives for the golden ears of wheat.

Wei's dress is a bit strange, and many people on the side of the field look at Wei in a slightly strange dress, but even if they don't know him, they will come to say hello.

Because there is a scarf made of "ghost cloth" hanging around Wei's neck. While it is used to wipe sweat, it also means that this person is a good farmer, otherwise Mo Zhe's ghost cloth would not be hung here. on people.

Wei somewhat likes the feeling of being valued by others, so he deliberately hangs the white ghost cloth around his neck without wiping his sweat, and washes it carefully every night, for fear that others will not recognize it.

The ink cart that he was pushing had just been greased, and it made a creaking but not rattling sound. Amidst the joyful rotation of the axle, Wei had a companion who was traveling all the way.

Wei didn't recognize this person, but he was very talkative, and he went to Peiyi together.

The man's accent was a bit strange, so Wei asked, "Brother, isn't he from Pei County?"

In half a year, the locals have gotten used to calling themselves Pei County instead of Pei Yi, and if they ask carefully, they will say He Township and He Ting.

The person traveling with him was about 30 years old. He didn't look like a farmer, but a merchant. He spoke with a Sanjin accent.

Wei couldn't tell where it was, but it was enough to feel that he was not a local.

"I'm going to Peiyi to do some business. In Taoyi, I heard people say that the Mohist will come to Pei, and Pei will be ruled. Now it seems that this is true. The wheat will be harvested in May. Is it really necessary to harvest twice a year? Brother Is it a farmer? I heard that whenever the work of farming is done well, Mo Zhe will send a ghost cloth to wipe his sweat, it seems that brother is such a person."

The man was very funny when he spoke, and he didn't seem to care so he complimented him, but his eyes were fixed on the bamboo basket on Wei Mo's cart.

Wei Hanhan smiled, picked up a cotton towel and wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "I just opened more fields last year. It's my own, why don't you open it?"

The man also laughed, but said in his heart: "The methods of these Mohists are not different from Ji Chongjun's strategy of making the most of the land in Wei Xing. I have the Dharma in Wei, and the Mohists in Peiyi also have the Twelve Grass and Silk Dharma, but you need to know it. The difference is better to repay Mr. Ji Chong and Xi Heshou to know."

He remained calm, chatted for a few more words, and asked: "You are pushing the ink cart, right? I have seen it in Taoyi before, and the artisans of the Mohist are very famous in Taoyi. Listen to your accent, Does it look like it's from Shangqiu?"

Wei nodded and said: "Yes, Shi was the first to preach righteousness in our village. It was Shangqiu who moved here. When we came, the ink car was only in Shangqiu, but now Taoyi also has it?"

He doesn't have much knowledge, he hasn't been to far places, and he has been in contact with those well-informed Mohists for a long time. Naturally, he likes this kind businessman who is traveling with him, and he can always know what is going on outside.

The man with the appearance of a businessman laughed and said, "It's not just Taoyi. According to what the Mohist said, this thing is great for the world, and there is no need to feed cattle and horses. I'm afraid there will be Luoyi in a few years, and the emperor may see it. It's right, then." Is it Mo Zhe's secretary?"

Wei nodded and asked again, "Have you heard of it?"

The man smiled and said, "Since you've come to Pei County, how can you not hear it? You always take people out to give lectures, how can you not hear it? Since you and Shizao have known each other well, why didn't you do it between the villages in Xiangtingli?" A senior? Isn’t there some civil salary you can get every year?”

Wei stopped the car, wiped off his sweat and said with a grin, "How can I do that? Among Mohists, there are so many who can read and break characters. Mohist people value the virtuous, and they only judge by the virtuous, so they don't care about closeness? Shi Chang said with a smile, the world It is said that the Mohist loves both father and relatives, let alone relatives? I can’t do it. If I have a son in the future, if I can enter the township school in Depeiguo, maybe I can. But it’s not for those people’s salaries, it’s just for the benefit of the world most."

The businessman nodded in praise, and said in his heart: "This man is just a farmer, so he has a lot of knowledge. How can even a farmer in Pei County know the words of Mohist love, respect for the virtuous, and benefit the world?"

Thinking of this, he asked: "Speaking of the township school, I also heard that Mohists often write simplified official script. I don't know if brother can write it?"

Seeing that this man was talkative, Wei also stopped the ink car, grinning and said: "I can write my own name, and I can write a few numbers."

After that, he wrote the simplified characters of reed on the ground, and wrote a few strange symbols that seemed to the businessman to be crooked, which were the common numbers in Pei County.

The businessman half-truthfully praised: "It's amazing. If it was placed in another place, how could the farmer write his name? The Mohist governs Pei, it is really different. Brother, this time I went to Pei County to buy salt?"

He looked at the white salt-like things in the soil basket in the ink cart that Wei was pushing, and wondered in his heart whether it might be the raw material of the rumored weapon that looked like thunder.

Wei didn't care, and said to the merchant, "You just came here, and you don't know about it. Salt is not allowed to be sold privately, only in various kiosks and townships. My soil basket is not salt, but dung nitrate, which cannot be eaten." The money used by the Mohists as weapons for defending the city is recovered with money and converted into the leased and bought cattle and horses."

The merchant's heart was moved, and he secretly thought that it was so. Can't think that the Mohist is so careless and doesn't strictly abide by this matter?
He heard that back then, Gongshu Ban made hooks and refusals, which made the Chu people invincible and defeated the Yue people in a boat battle. Later, Gongshang Guoyou Yueyue had a way to deal with it.

That hook can make it difficult for the Yue people to attack Chu. The Mo Zhe's current defense of the city is probably as effective as Gongshuban's hook.

Knowing that this thing is great, you need to check it out and return it, and there must be a reward.

Seeing that Wei didn't care, he couldn't help but asked: "I heard that half a year ago, Wu Zhu was harmed by prostitutes, and Mo Zhe used the power of thunder to kill Wu Zhu's leaders. Are these the soldiers who guard the city?"

Wei laughed and said, "Yes, many people are no longer afraid of thunder."

The businessman also laughed and said: "Since I came to Pei County, how could I not know? I also know that the sound shook for several miles, and the bodies were smashed to pieces, and several horses were frightened and galloped. If the Mohist got this thing, there must be a big battle when he defends the city." Use it, when those four-horse chariots hit, how can we not be frightened? When the time comes to flee in chaos, I am afraid that if the army does not fight, it will be chaotic. Those sky thunders are made of this dung nitrate?"

Wei pointed to the dung that was somewhat wet due to moisture absorption and said: "There must be this in it. Mohists say this is the will of heaven. People should know it and don't hide it. It's just that this thing is like a sword. Harm the world, so it's hard for others to know how to do it. It's all done by Mo Zhe, we just need to know that it's not thunder, but the sound like a skin being crushed."

The businessman continued: "Extremely! Extremely! If you use it in an unjust war, you can kill people. What the Mohist did is absolutely right. Brother, I am afraid that this basket of dung can be exchanged for a lot of money, right?"

Wei clicked his tongue and said, "If it's just one of us, how can we actually ask Mohist for money? It's extremely difficult to get these things in this pavilion. The toilet was dug last year and the manure was fermented. It's really not much. The pavilion the day before yesterday The chief asked me to go to Peiguo and push a cart along the way. I exchanged the money and recorded it in the account, so that I can calculate the money for the ransom of cattle and horses in the future. Mohist said that their money did not fall from the sky. If it is given to everyone, it will not last long. It’s not just Lipei County that wants to benefit the world, so money is still needed.”

The man dressed as a businessman didn't care about such things as being good or bad for the world, but only cared about Mo's actions and the weapon that could roar like thunder, so he pretended to praise him and asked Wei what he was doing in Pei County.

When asked about this, Wei became a little excited, pointing to the ripe and tumbling wheat on both sides of the road, he said: "The wheat harvest is about to begin. Each booth must appoint someone to discuss matters after the wheat harvest. The county government has black corn, ghost fingers, potatoes, and sweet potato seeds, which need to be planted in various village pavilions. Some people have to be selected to go to the northeast, where a new township has been established, which is said to be called Jinteng Township, and people must be selected to help Teaching about planting crops. It will last for three years, and you can get a lot of money every three years. If you are not an expert, you can't go."

The businessman suddenly felt weird, and thought, isn't this a confidential matter?Xincheng Yixiang, why don't I know?Did these farmers know it first?
After he asked, Wei didn't think there was anything suspicious. After thinking about the things that the pavilion chief read out were not secrets, he said: "The pavilion chief said that the more people destroy Teng, the laws are not similar to the local. To make the best use of the land, for any uninhabited land, a lease can be established three years after it is reclaimed, and there are many people who fled here in Teng, and when there are more people, Jin Teng Township will be established."

"The head of the pavilion said that the more people there are, the more they can protect the general will, so this is also beneficial to the world. Therefore, each pavilion must choose a few people to work there for three years, and the family's land will be planted with the help of the same team. Now Sumai It has been accepted, everyone believes what the Mohist said, besides, it is a matter of public interest, and there is money to take, so they all want to go."

The businessman seemed to have suddenly realized and made a sound of surprise, but in fact he secretly compared in his heart.

Xin said that the means of these Mohists are actually similar to what Xi Heshou and Ji Chongjun did.Opening fields in Xihe is private, and the grievances of the local Qin people will disappear within half a year, and there are also many people in Qin who travel across mountains and rivers to Wei to ask for private land.

In this way, I am afraid that many people in Tengdi will flee here.If the Song Dynasty ruled the Song Dynasty with ink, it may not be impossible to do the hegemony of Xianggong.

He also thought about the previous scriptures and agreements, private fields and open fields, etc., and thought: "In this way, the means of the Mohists stop here? I am afraid that the only things that need to be concerned about are those weird utensils. If you can It is best to get a lot of money, especially that thunderous weapon, if you can bring it back to Weidi, you will definitely be rewarded with a hundred thousand."

It's just that he didn't know that the newly established township near Teng Township was not in the Song Dynasty, but between Xue and Teng; it didn't exist like Xihe Shoujun, but parallel to the original new self-governing units of the jurisdictional model.

For the time being, those who only care about people, only benefit people, and only make covenants, do not have absolute governance over all kinds of things.

　Zanran is the borrowed use of later generations, and Zanran is Zisu at this time.Ji Chongjun, that is, Wei Xiang Li Kui.In the year of Wuyin, 403 BC, the three families were divided into Jin, and the story officially began.Jin is the surname of Ji, and Tang Shuyu is granted the title, which is the relative system that the emperor of Zhou can rely on most.At this time in the world, there are not many countries with the Ji surname, and the Yan country with the Ji surname is still waiting without any sense of existence.
