chapter 141
Niasang Township is the first township that Shi takes people to go to.

There is not only the village community that was the first to go deep in Shangqiu, but also because there were many fugitive households who escaped from military taxes and taxes before, Niasang, whose folk customs are tough, has faintly become the most active and most supportive Mohist in Peixian County. a township of the

The public hydraulic mill next to the township government made creaking noises, and the sound of the wooden connecting rods rubbing against the water wheel was called Shiyasuan, but it was very pleasant to the ears of the peasants who were busy grinding wheat into powder. .

Coupled with the designated market next to it, it has completely become the political center of Niesang Village.

Farmers from nearby villages pushed small ink carts loaded with grain to the shops in the village to exchange for salt or other necessary supplies.

They took out a small piece of paper from their arms, on which were written their names, the number of people in their family, the name of the village, and the compiled Shiwu number, and used it as a voucher to buy various necessities sold by the Mohist. normal price.

The currency they use is also very strange. It is not copper coins, but a common currency in Pei County made of cotton cloth or paper.

These currencies can be used to buy salt, repay loans for cattle, wood utensils, and most of the materials controlled by Mohists, so it is easy to circulate in Pei County.

The money in Mo's hands is not small, and there is also a part of copper. It is not difficult to cast money privately and have a suitable sand method.

It's just that most of the money the Mohists got from those big cities was gold, and the copper had to be kept as weapons for defending the city. Therefore, the currency in Pei County was still insufficient on the whole.

From harvesting one season to harvesting two seasons within a year, the amount of grain participating in the market exchange has not only doubled.

The harvest in the first season is about the same as in a normal year, and the leftovers are also similar. In the second season, it can be used as a commodity for circulation.

The goods in Pei County surged, and the currency was a bit stretched, so the Mozhe issued some small notes and cloth coins.

Cloth coins are not copper cloth coins, they are really coins made of cotton cloth with numbers written on them.

Cotton cloth is not available anywhere except in Peixian County; the texture of cotton cloth is completely different from that of linen cloth, and you can feel it with a little touch.

The strange currency issued by these Mohists in the hands of rural peasants in Peixian County is basically exchanged for grain.

Mohists need copper to make weapons, and also need copper to make some necessary tools. At this time, they can only use this helpless method.

In the future, we will think about anti-counterfeiting and other methods. There is no need to think about these now. Let everyone in Pei County be familiar with this currency that does not have enough use value.

It is appropriate to propose this matter, and I am not worried that excessive issuance will cause currency problems.

Anyway, most of the grain that can be sold in the hands of the farmers is in the hands of the Mozhe, and there are not many currencies in circulation that need to pay back the cattle and occasionally buy a little oil to eat.

There are many farmers who come to the village pavilion to do business, men, women and children, all of them are full of joy and hope for the coming autumn harvest.

Many people saw that Shi was leading a few ink practitioners, so they ran over to say hello and asked when the performers would come again.

Relying on simple drama as a means of propaganda, it is easy to attract a large number of people in the village, because even simple drama is still a luxury in rural areas where spiritual life is extremely scarce.

Shi Ye responded by greeting them kindly, saying that it might take a long time, and those people are now approaching Tengxiang, and they might not be able to come back in a short time.

Xiang Nong was so moved that he took Shi and the rest of the Mohists to their home for dinner.

In other words, there is still some wheat flour left, and now the bean pods are tender, so buy a pot of sour wine, boil the bean pods with salt water just to go with the wine, and tomorrow the salt water can be used with rice.

Wheat and bean are originally the food of the sluts, and the nobles mostly don't eat them, but now the two are made into rice, but the sluts can also taste the taste of the best corn and rice that is far superior to that of the nobles.

Every time I eat this taste, I always think of the Mozhe who presides over everything, so I also want the Mozhe to taste the happiness in those foods with them.

Shi Shi declined for a while, and first called the Mohists around him together.

"In a short while, we will go to the villages assigned before. Those words have been said many times before. This time, things are very important and must be done well."

"As long as everyone has any thoughts and opinions, they must be recorded. Whether it is right is one thing, whether it is resolved or not is another thing, and whether it is known or not is another matter. The principles that have been established can be explained clearly. If you haven’t decided on the truth yet, don’t talk about it casually.”

Those young Mohists from the Xuanyi Department all laughed, and said: "How can we easily talk about things that have not been settled by the Xuanyi Department. We haven't figured out many things, and we are all wrong... Answer those people's doubts It is the righteousness of the Proclamation Department, not the righteousness we think."

What he said was a little weird, Shi Ye just smiled, wanted to say something else to point out the fallacies in the words, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unnecessary, so he waved his hand to let the crowd disperse.

When I went back, I went back with an old man from a village in the distance, and said to go to them for dinner.

The old man knew the rules of the Mo family, and kept saying that it was only a thank you, that Shi was not allowed to take money, and Shi didn't argue about it on the way, just smiled and didn't answer.

The six children in the old man's family have all been raised, which is extremely rare.

Once the well field system and the land grant system are abolished, this will become a family in the village that lives quite well. With enough labor and a lot of uncultivated wasteland, it is determined that once the reform is made, whoever has a larger population and more labor will be the first to become a wealthy self-cultivator. .

Among the six children, two have a close relationship with Mo Zhe.

A nine-year-old boy is studying in Peiguo Township School, very smart.Not many students are suitable for impression.

The other child, who was about 300 years old, served in the [-]-strong Pei County Volunteer Division established by the Mozhe as the spearhead. He was brave and firmly believed in the Mozhe's principles.

Such a family is considered to be an important pillar of the Mohists in Pei County in the future, and the Mohists now need wealthy self-cultivating farmers and industrial and commercial people as the class representing interests.

The two chatted a lot along the way, and when they returned to the village commune, they walked around the village commune again, chatted with the representatives elected by the village commune, and had lunch at the old man's home.

Lunch was originally a meal that the untouchables did not have. In the past, there were two meals, but the habit of the Mohists gradually affected the village community, and the habit of three meals also began to appear among the former untouchables in Pei County.

Lunch is not simple, but it is quite rich.

The staple food is black pancakes without sieving the bran; pods boiled in salt water are used as a dish; a pot of soup mixed with wild vegetables and batter, with a few drops of boiled soybean oil floating on it Obviously more than others.

The eldest son, eldest daughter, youngest daughter, and three men ate together at home. They made a simple bamboo table according to the custom of Xiangting, and there were no spoons or other utensils on it, only chopsticks.

Although the food is average, it is enough.

Shi Shi noticed that the youngest yaonu didn't eat much, and she even ate very little bran pancakes and kept eating pods boiled in salted water.

It is convenient to know that this family should not have been hungry in the past six months, otherwise they would not have eaten like this.

During the meal, Yao Nu asked first: "Brother Shi, how is my second brother doing in the volunteer teacher?"

Shi Shi looked at this little girl who was about to bloom at the age of twelve or thirteen, and said with a smile: "Your second brother will always pick mulberries for you to eat, so you only ask your second brother, whether your brother is in the township school or not." How about it. Does your younger brother always grab your berries?"

The girl blushed, lowered her head and said, "No. My younger brother came back a few days ago and said that he was beaten by you in the village school, but the food was okay. I'm afraid that the second brother will also be beaten there."

The whole family laughed, shook their heads and said, "I don't care about the righteous teacher, but he shouldn't be beaten, right? He's the leader of the spearhead, not something ordinary people can do."

He is not talking nonsense, the matter of the righteous teacher really has nothing to do with him.The military power is in the hands of Juzi. This is the rule set at the beginning. It is suitable for the township school, the secretary, and the head of the Xuanyi Department. It is impossible, impossible, and should not be involved in the military affairs.

However, he is responsible for the teaching and training of those junior officers.

Originally, he thought he proposed to train these 300 volunteers based on the little military knowledge he knew, but there are quite a few of them who can train the army.

The Mohist himself is famous for his discipline. As the most important quality of the infantry at this time, the Mohist attaches great importance to it.

From those regulations on defending the city, a set of military laws was quickly drawn up, without Shi's intervention at all.

As for things like formations and queues, the few people who know soldiers in the world at this time have paid more attention to them early.

"Wu Zi" once emphasized the importance of formation, queue and discipline; Sun Tzu, who trained soldiers for King Wu, believed that strict discipline is the guarantee of a strong army.

He didn't need to intervene in these technical things at all. From the moment the volunteer teacher was established, he would only give advice at most.

There is no need for him to mention the two things of constructive formation and discipline, so he can only tinker in small directions.

He's mostly in charge of promoting what to fight and stuff like that.

The old man who is a father is not worried about his son suffering there. He has also been a soldier and knows some things in the army.

Although Mohists are different from those princes and nobles, there are still rules and regulations in the army.He thought, if he made a mistake, he would naturally be beaten, but if he didn't make a mistake, maybe he wouldn't, and that was nothing.

Not long after the midsummer wheat harvest, the establishment of the Volunteer Division has been widely publicized in various villages, communes, and townships, and the purpose is also very clear that it is the theory of Mo Zhe Feigong.

The Mohist has the world in mind, so it is impossible to use the rhetoric of the state to encourage the army.

Shi Ye would never allow it, otherwise, once this start is made, Zhu Xia is likely to be divided into various countries and fight endlessly until hatred and ethnic groups appear.

This is not the time for rebellion, and the idea of ​​returning the land to the monarch is still very strong and difficult to melt for a while, so some rhetoric must be more tactful.

The establishment of the Volunteer Division is nominally to hope that the people of Pei County can protect the laws of the people of Pei County and fulfill their military obligations in exchange for the autonomy of Pei County being recognized by the monarch.

The volunteers in Peixian County will not participate in the unjust war. The military power is in the hands of the Mozhe, and the purpose is for the people of Peixian County.

If a strong country invades a weak Song Dynasty, the volunteers will stop the war and use the merits of the first battle to promote the agreement between the Duke of Song and the people of Pei County: recognize Pei County's statement about taxes, admit that Pei County's taxes are controlled by the government of Pei County, Acknowledge that the volunteers in Pei County do not participate in unjust battles but only participate in the battle of defending the city - this does not need to be admitted by Song Gong. Song is now surrounded by Chu, Sanjin, Qi, and Yue. None of them can fight, they can only be passive beaten.

That is to say, the military obligation of volunteers was exchanged for Song Gong's recognition of the semi-autonomous state of Pei County.

It doesn't make much sense to admit it or not.

Admit this kind of thing, if you don't admit it, beat him to admit it.

It's just that I can't fight now, so I have to pretend that my grandson admits that their recognition is valid.When you don't need to pretend to be a grandson, just come up with the world view of the Peixian Wanmin Law, and just refuse to admit it.

The recognition of semi-autonomy is not too shocking. At this time, there are still a bunch of vassal states. Xiao, who goes south from Peixian County and passes Pengcheng to the west, was originally a semi-independent vassal state of Song Dynasty, with only military obligations.

There are a lot of vassal states in Chu, as well as those military districts and counties with strong local people. As long as you seize the opportunity to do this kind of thing, you can succeed.

Forcing the three chapters of the Song Convention, when the Chu people surrounded the Song Dynasty and the internal nobles were in chaos, Song Gong had to agree if he didn't agree, or even wished to agree.

Song Gong refused to agree, but Sicheng, Liuqing, etc., some people were willing to agree.Relying on the autonomy of Pei County in exchange for the support of a group of Mohists who seem to be harmless to humans and animals, have a diseased head, do justice without offense, and have strong force, it seems that there is only profit but no loss.It seems that Feng Mo Di is nothing more than Pei Zai or Pei doctor.

　The number of chapters is written wrong, it seems that it does not affect the reading.
