warring states careerist

chapter 125
After most of the Mohists left, some remained.

In addition to the high-ranking Mohists, there are six Mohists from the land of Wuyue. Mohists in Mengze and other places.

The six disciples accepted by Gongshang Guo Youyue are about to go to the land of Wuyue, and they are ready to gain a foothold there.

There are some things that ordinary Mohists don't know. Half a year ago, Teng Shuyu, who was known as a warrior, had returned to Teng with his friends and friends, lobbying those nobles in Teng.

Obviously, it is unrealistic to rely on the strength of the Teng people to restore the country, and the Mohists are not at all willing to create a bunch of small countries.

But nobles like Teng Shuyu wanted to restore the country, and the Mohists hoped that the Yue people would leave the north as soon as possible and move south as quickly as possible, so that the Mohists could develop secretly in the old land of Teng state, so they hit it off.

Shi knew that it was only a matter of time before the Vietnamese retreated south, but time was also a big problem for the Mohists, so they had to find a way to speed up the process.

What Teng Shuyu and others wanted to do was not what Mohists wanted to do, but they could cooperate before, so Teng Shuyu and others would go to Wuyue after lobbying the nobles in Tengdi.

Wu and Yue are in different boats, as has been the case since ancient times.

Since Qu Wuchen began to help Wu's military reform because of Xia Ji's defection, Wu State has always been stronger than Yue State.Later, Wu Zixu, Sun Wuzi and others carried out many reforms and fortifications. Although Gou Jian succeeded in revenge in the end, the foundation of Wu State is still deeper than that of Yue State.

The more he got tattoos, he also called himself a barbarian before, and when he saw that Chu State became king, he himself became king early.

After Goujian's revenge, he divided up the enfeoffments on a large scale. Various kings and monarchs abound at the mouth of the Yangtze River and around Taihu Lake, which was also known as the county at that time.

Now the main force of the Yue people is in Langya on the Shandong Peninsula, and they have always wanted to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.

Yi, the king of Yue, was also a hero, and he destroyed several kingdoms. Teng was close to Lu, and the people of Yue did not go south, so it was very inconvenient for the Mohists to work in Teng.

Now others don’t know, but they know that this year is the most beautiful time for King Yi of Yue: he arrived in Qufu in a show of power, Lu Hou drove for the King of Yue, Qi Hou served as a guard for the King of Yue, and Qi State ceded the two cities of Jianyang Giant Tomb. Qianqi people are really like tigers when they are slaves.

It's just that this kind of scenery doesn't last long in Shi's view.

It is impossible to rely on the Chu people to defeat the Yue country, and the Mohists do not want the Chu people to win in an all-round way north of the Huaihe River.Relying on the Qi people to force the Yue people to go south, the current situation of the relatives of the Tian family fighting for hegemony in Qi State will not be able to rise within 30 years.

On the contrary, it is the most effective strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the pot. As long as there are problems in Wuyue, Kuaiji, Yangtze River Estuary, county districts and other places, it is impossible for the Yue people not to move southward in a large scale, strategically shrinking and abandoning Teng.

The move of Yue to the north and the establishment of Shandong as its capital was originally a bad move: there was no cultural advantage, only force advantage, and Qilu was the fiefdom of the sons of Zhou Gong and Tai Gong Wang, with a prosperous cultural background, it was impossible to fight for hegemony there.

It would be fine if it was reformed, but Yue State's enfeoffment system and clan system remained serious, and it would be useless to change it according to the Zhou rituals, and it was doomed to waste effort.

The hatred of the Wu people has not diminished, but instead they have kept the Wu people in their own foundation. This is death.

As long as there is something wrong there, the original large-scale contraction of the Yue people after more than 20 years may be completed within ten or even a few years, so that the Mohists seize the opportunity to control Teng and persecute Xue.

Anyway, they are all small countries with one county. Yue and Chu will shrink strategically within 20 years, and Qilu will lick their wounds within 20 years. No one can control this.

What's more, for at most three years, Zheng Guo will give up his feud and cooperate with the Three Jins to support a prince with a strong claim to succeed King Chu, and the power of the Three Jins will not have the energy to reach Peidi, Teng, Xue and other places.

Chaos is imminent in the Central Plains, and this land that was originally dead when Yue Chu Qi was powerful is about to come back to life.

Therefore, the time is tight and we need to plan in advance, so that we can seize the opportunity at any time when that day comes.

Teng Shuyu and others belonged to cooperating with the Mohists and taking the aristocratic route.

And these six Mohists bypassed the nobles and went directly to the grassroots route.

According to the Mohist's current means, it is extremely simple to take the grassroots route at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Wuyue.

The State of Yue is the sacrificial priest of Dayu, and Tushan is in the later Shaoxing. In the myths fabricated by Mohist, Mohist, Tushan and Dayu are not related by blood, but the spiritual closeness is enough to make Yue people love them.

Before the state of Yue was destroyed, it had been offering sacrifices to Dayu, and the founder of the state was Wuyu, a concubine of Shaokang.

At this time, it is said that Tushan in the Tushan League of Yu Sheng Tushan was in the north of Shouchun City at this time, but Wu Yue's "Yuejueshu" claimed that "Tushan is the one who Yu married Mountains, fifty miles to the county", which shows that Yue people firmly believe that the place where Nvjiao sighed "Waiting for others, Yi" is near Ze, the county district.

As long as the myth is widely spread in Yue, it is inevitable that Yue people will feel that these Mohist and Yu Sheng are closely related to Tu Shan and the legendary great witch who knows the will of heaven.

At this time, the productivity level of Yue State was extremely low, and the smelting technology and military technology were not bad, but the level of planting industry was far behind that of the three Jins who had begun to irrigate agriculture, not even Shi Pei. The level of planting in the town.

At this time, it was said that the king of Yue had the benefit of the bird field, and the bird field mostly offered sacrifices to Yu.

To put it into a suitable understanding, the king of Yue maintained the divine power and sacrificial power, used the excuse of sacrificial power to occupy the bird field, and used labor to harvest the crops in the bird field, which was used for sacrifice in name and counted as the unique public land of Yue State.

The best fields in the country of Yue actually use the migration of migratory birds every year. In autumn, when wild geese are waiting for the migratory birds to stay in the Yangtze River estuary for the winter, they peck and trample some flooded silt land, thus saving the trouble of turning over the soil. a process.

The leftover rice after harvest each fall attracts large numbers of birds.

Birds eat the fallen rice and tender grass covered by rice in these fields, leaving a lot of guano and the very soft ground after being trampled by birds. This is the bird field.

Travelers in the Central Plains may seldom see such a scene of thousands of birds gathering, thinking that it was bestowed by the emperor of heaven, so they are very emotional.

The King of Yue also took advantage of this scene to control the forced labor of these lands in the name of sacrificial rights, so that the Yue people worked on these public lands for free.

The swords of Yue State are good, but the agricultural tools are far behind, as can be seen from the fact that Bird Field is still Ueda.

At this time, the country of Yue still harvests once a year, and the level of planting technology is not high. Just a little improvement is enough to gather a lot of people, and it is enough to make the Mohists a kind of detached existence at the grassroots level.

Even if it is impossible to establish political power like in Peiyi because it is the hinterland of Wuyue, it is not difficult to spread ideas at the grassroots level with the help of communication technology like wildfire.

Once the productivity in the hinterland of Wuyue develops, those Wu nobles who are restless in the hinterland of Wuyue will definitely become more restless, and the time for the Vietnamese to withdraw south will be much earlier.

For Mohists, this is an act of righteousness.

But for those nobles who struggled for power and profit, this gave them the power to resist, usurp the throne, and kill the king.

Anyway, the issue of King Yue's succession is an unsolvable problem. King Yi of Yue's father began to kill his father, and the descendants of later generations also learned from him... King Yi of Yue also had a murderous younger brother who almost killed all of King Yi's heirs.

Mohist's righteousness helps them increase their productivity level, which is to accelerate and catalyze their ambitions.

These six disciples brought back from Yue by Gong Shangguo are already familiar with Yue people, so they are the most suitable for doing these things.

In the past few months, they have learned a lot from Shi Shi, and they already know their mission.

This is a public conspiracy, there is no conspiracy, so they went to Yuedi just to do justice, promote the local production level, tell legends, improve planting techniques, and so on.

As for the thoughts of those princes near the mouth of the Yangtze River in Wuyue, what kind of thoughts they will have because of the increase in productivity level, that is their conspiracy, and has nothing to do with Mohist.

Since there is no conspiracy, it is much simpler to say.

Mozi and Gongshang Guo have a deep relationship, a relationship called master and apprentice, but the souls can understand each other, so the words that Mozi praised most for all his disciples appeared on Gongshang Guo.

As for the disciples of Gongshang Guo, Mozi warned: "Many of you are famous in Yuedi. Back then, your master Youyue also had a high reputation among Yue people. You can use this to do more righteous deeds."

"Have you memorized the planting methods that are suitable for you, and some herbs for treating damp and hot diseases?"

This matter belongs to Shi Shi's management, and the six of them said: "We have written down all the questions asked by the giant. All the things entrusted by the secretary are also recorded in the grass. Now there is a happy land in Peiyi Shu, we are originally Yue people, and we also hope that Yue people will no longer be hungry."

Mozi nodded, and said again: "The people of Yue are no better than the people of Chu. In the war between Wu and Yue in the past, boiled rice was used as seeds. The people of Wu were hungry, and the people of Yue must still remember it. Some old people experienced it when they were young. Not being lazy, the only thing missing is that you don’t know the will of heaven, and you can’t plant the fertile land there so that you don’t have to worry about famine in three to five years.”

"First harvest a lot, and in the future the Mohist will lay down a foundation, and then talk about how to pay taxes. The latter is not in a hurry, and the former should be done well first, so that more people will know the name of the Mohist."

The area around Taihu Lake was originally a land of fish and rice and a land of prosperity for later generations, but it is barren at this time, far inferior to the desolate Central Plains of later generations.

What is needed at this time is to rely on technological leadership, spread ideas with technology, and bind the two.In terms of the current population, as long as ironware appears and Kyushu is unified, it will be easy to create a prosperous age.

The six Mohists listened to it for a few months. Although there were not many, there was no problem leading Wu Yue's planting technology to a higher level.

Shi Jiatun drove over the carriage filled with gold and some seeds, and also instructed: "The Yue people use pearls and jade as the upper currency, and gold as the middle currency. When you are active there, bring some gold first. In the future, it is not right that you can burn it. Lin? Remember to exchange the gold back when the time comes..."

Everyone knew that he was under a lot of pressure when he was doing justice in Peiyi, and made fun of him.

These six people bowed three times to Mozi, and once again to Mozi who was waiting for his entrustment, and drove away.

　There are three kinds of arguments by Torita.The first two are too nonsense, so let's choose this kind of statement that doesn't seem so nonsense.Generally speaking: slightly more advanced than slash-and-burn farming.Yue Guojian is very famous, but until the end of the Warring States period, agricultural tools were still dominated by bone and wood.The Warring States crystal cup should also belong to the nobles of the Yue people. There was the largest crystal mine in the world at that time near Lianyungang, but the technicians should be those small princes who were destroyed.
