warring states careerist

Chapter 131

Jiao He was amazed that Shi wanted them to learn calligraphy.

He was actually literate, because he was a spy sent by the Wei people to Peiyi.

Wu Qi is good at using spies, so he deserves to be the No. 1 famous general and soldier in the world.

Decades ago, Sun Wuzi once said: "Among the personnel in the army, there is no one who is more trusted than a spy, no one who is rewarded more generously than a spy, and no matter is more secret than a job. A general who is not talented cannot use spies "A general who is not benevolent and generous cannot use spies; a general who is not careful and skillful cannot obtain the true information of spies."

Wu Qi is talented, kind and generous, and careful, so he can make good use of spies.

And Jiao He is Li Kui's confidant, with generous rewards and secret work, so he can be a good spy.

According to Sun Wuzi's classification, spies are divided into cause, internal, anti, death, and life without species. Jiao He belongs to the life, not the cause, so it requires extremely high cultural quality.

The original intention of spy characters is to use words to persuade others, and at this time, words must be able to recognize characters, and they need a relatively high level of education compared to ordinary people, otherwise it is impossible to learn too much.

According to Sun Wuzi's definition: in the past, when Yin was prosperous, Yizhi was in Xia; when Zhou was prosperous, Lu Ya was in Yin.Therefore, only the wise kings and virtuous generals, those who can use the above wisdom as a medium, will surely achieve great success.The key to this soldier is the one that the three armies rely on and move.

Yi Yin and Jiang Ziya are all spies, and they are all technical spies.They were all officials in the original imperial court, mastered the organizational skills of Xia and Yin Shang, were familiar with each other's weaknesses, and had connections to win over dissatisfied internal personnel.

Wu Qi's attitude towards Mohists is actually the same as that of Han Feizi in later generations: Buying a basket for pearls, loving concubines and despising men and women.He doesn't care much about Mohist's statement of non-aggression and love, but he is very concerned about the technology that Mohist has mastered, but he is very clear that what he wants to do is to build great achievements, and it is impossible to non-aggression and love.

So he very much hopes to get the jewelry box that the Mozhe thinks and throws away the beads that the Mozhe regards as treasure... In his eyes, the jewelry box in the Mozhe's eyes is the real jewelry, and the jewelry in the Mozhe's eyes can be discarded foil.

Jiao He didn't know if the characters that Shi said were the purpose of the Wei people sending him here, but he knew that there were very few people teaching people to learn characters at this time.

Except for those who have the power to teach privately, who would easily pass these things on to others?
He had seen a few characters written by Wei before, and he had also seen some characters that could be seen everywhere in Peiguo, and he didn't know if the local people could understand them all, so he felt that the Mohist's behavior was very strange.

Seeing that he was surprised, he smiled and said: "Surprise is also normal. Besides you, there are many people who have the same expression. I know that you may be able to read...but the characters in the world are different. But the truth of Tianzhi , but the world is the same. Since this is the case, then use the same words and spread the same will of heaven."

"Mohists benefit the world, and they also hope that the world's writing will be unified, just like the will of heaven. Yan people and Chu people share the same sun and the same moon, so why do they write different characters?"

Jiao He clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Mohist's heart is to benefit the world. I often heard it when I was giving lectures by Yang Zhuliezi. Now that I see it, I know it is true. Then learn it. You mean, if you learn these words, Can you understand the grass and silk of the art of harvesting?"

Shi pointed to a wheelbarrow that was being pushed in the distance: "It's not just Jiarong? After learning these characters, can't all the magic skills of the Mohists be learned?"

Jiao He knew the convenience of the ink cart a long time ago. If he used it to transport military rations, he could save a lot of cattle and horses.I have always known the level of Mozi's car making, and in Taoyi, I know that the most proficient in making this kind of ink carts are those craftsmen who have inextricable connections with Mozi.

Listening to the meaning, it seems that these things are not secrets, so I couldn't help but ask: "So, I heard that the craftsmen will be very similar to the Mohists. If others learn it, who will join the craftsmen?"

Shi laughed calmly, and asked back: "If someone made a cart that only needs one person to carry a hundred stones, and he is not a member of the Craftsman Association, what do you think the craftsmen will do?"

Jiao He knew that if he wanted Mozi to remember him, he should not pretend to be stupid, but to impress him, so he said, "If he doesn't join the artisan association... he will kill people and destroy the car. It's just that I have heard that Mozi is very skilled. Back then, Muyuan could do the gambling with Gongshuban, as long as it can benefit people, it may not be impossible to make a better car.”

Shi nodded in agreement, and said for a long time: "Mozhe represents the direction of the most advanced utensils, and it will always be like this from now on."

He didn't answer. If he really encountered that situation, would he choose to persuade that person?Or choose to imitate?
But Jiao He also sensed something different, maybe it was self-confidence, or... arrogance.

However, if arrogance is so real that no one can blame it, it seems arrogance to be justified.

After several conversations, Jiao He received a piece of grass, on which he wrote a few words at random, indicating that if he wanted to, he could go to the village school to learn writing after the wheat harvest.

In fact, he is not alone, there are many real and fake businessmen with similar dreams of getting rich, who also received the invitation without much precaution.

Wheat needs to be harvested in the next few days, and Jiao He also knows that Mo Zhe may not have time, so he just let him use the time to wander around.

Anyway, as long as you have money, you can solve problems such as food and lodging in the township.If you carry gold with you, you can also go to the Mozhe to exchange it for some grass and silk approval slips, which can be used in various village pavilions.

When the wheat was harvested, the whole Pei County was busy.

During the wheat harvesting period, Jiao He also spent time after time in amazement.

A few days later, those who gathered in Peiguo Township first helped the Mohists harvest a small piece of land.

This piece of land is a piece of land with a standard mu of one step wide and 250 steps long, which is commonly used in Mozhe, with a total of twenty mu.

Mo Zhe's mu is much larger than Zhou's mu, which is a hundred steps long.

The twenty mu of land was divided into four pieces, each of which was five mu.

Jiao He didn't know why the [-] mu of land was divided into four pieces, so he didn't ask much.

When the people gathered in Peiguo Township in the early morning helped the Mozhe harvest the [-] mu of wheat field, Jiao He also came to the field early. Like many curious people, he observed that the land could be divided into four different land.

The first harvest was a wheat field that was sparser than the other three, but even though it was sparse compared to other wheat fields, the growth was still gratifying.

Five acres of land is not big, and there are a lot of people gathered in Peiguo Township. They also know that this is a reasonable field for the Mohists, and they have helped a lot.

After harvesting with various tools, the women and children who followed behind collected the ears of wheat that fell on the ground and gathered them into the straw that was not used as a stack.

Pulled by the horses, the huge stone mill pressed down the ears of wheat. Seeing that the wheat grains were piling up on the ground, the strong man took a wooden shovel and swung the wheat grains mixed with wheat grass and soil towards the sky.

Just when there is wind, the clean wheat grains are stripped of impurities in the wind.The woman next to her was holding the flail used by the Mohist, smashing the ears of wheat there.

Jiao He secretly praised the huge stone roller, which was something that had never existed in the Three Jin Dynasties, let alone Chu, Yan, Qin and other places that were more backward.

"This thing is wonderful, and it can save a lot of people. As long as there are oxen and horses, one oxen can beat more than ten people with wooden sticks."

He secretly remembered this thing that can save labor and benefit people, thinking that this thing is not difficult to make, as long as there is a mason, he can do it.

There are many fields cultivated by the army in Xihe Land, and many boys, servants, and slaves are cultivating them. If this thing is used, it can indeed save a lot of manpower, and these people can cultivate more fields.

After the wheat grains were basically pressed out of the straw, everyone present, including Jiao He, stared at Mo Zhe who was weighing on the ground of the valley.

The Mohist does not use stones, cauldrons, or weird containers such as beans, but directly uses a double-lifted scale made of levers to weigh the weight of the wheat.

Everyone present held their breath, hoping for a weight they could accept.

Mozhe made many farmers present see hope, but for the crops in the field, before they are fully harvested and put into containers, it is only hope seen rather than real realization.

Harvesting seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult.

There are many lands where the crops look good, but when harvested they are mostly immature.

The crops on many lands are ripe with teeth before harvest, but after harvest, it will be found that the yield is not high.

The planting of winter wheat stems from trust in Mohist.

The harvest of winter wheat means that this trust can be continued and deepened.

Now everyone knows that these grains are ripe, because you can see those golden grains in the tanning field, giving off the luster that mature women have.

What is waiting now is a final quantity.

Jiao He saw that Shi was recording something with a notebook compiled from grass and silk. Not far away, he could see that his face was relaxed, at least compared to the expressions of other people.

After all the wheat in the five mu of land was weighed, a quantity was reported.

After a brief silence, everyone present turned the number that Shi very calmly reported into roars of excitement.

"140 catties! 140 catties per mu!"

Such voices are endless, and the endless voices are full of joy.

140 Jin is a gratifying figure.

Just gratifying, not amazing enough.

But to the ears of a first-time winter wheat grower, this is enough to roar.

Jiao He converted it into Zhou Mu, which is common in the three Jin Dynasties and the world. Knowing that the yield of Zhou Mu is about one and a half stones of Xiaoshi at this time, he nodded secretly in his heart, praising Mo Zhe's methods.

The yield per mu in Xiaozhou is one and a half stones, which is not too high.The yield of the best field in Sanjin, planting corn may be higher than this, but on average, one and a half stones per mu per week is considered a good harvest.

The most important thing is that winter wheat is planted in autumn and harvested in spring. This kind of harvest means that this matter is absolutely feasible.Don't say that the yield per mu is nearly one and a half stones, even if the yield is one stone per mu, it is enough to make farmers earn a lot more.

A production that is not lower than the usual spring wheat planting is enough for the people present to turn this ordinary into excitement.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Shi Shi pressed his hand.Almost just for a moment, the surrounding voices fell silent.

Jiao He was startled secretly, thinking that these were just farmers, but they looked like Xihe's elite soldiers.How many people in the world can do it today?
Besides, these are only farmers, there is no punishment such as sticks and whips, and all they can rely on is the prestige of the Mohists.

Jiao He thought, the Mohist's prestige has reached this point?It's amazing!Farmers are like this, and they already have the momentum of Xihe's sharp soldiers. What if Mohists become teachers and train soldiers?

The applicability in the distance sounds deliberately indifferent, but everyone can hear a sigh of relief and an uncontrollable excitement: "Planting crops, there is a will of heaven in it. If the will of heaven is true, then this The output of this piece of land should be the lowest among the four! Everyone, work harder! Let's see how much each of the remaining three pieces produce, and then we will know what the harvest is related to!"

　The yield per mu is 140 jin, and the yield per mu per week is [-] to [-] jin... It is already a high yield at this time.Sow one and reap three or four, that's all.Now?Hehe, the first-class field in Henan produces less than [-] catties of wheat per mu, so I guess I'm too embarrassed to say hello to people.
