warring states careerist

Chapter 161 Yu Sheng's old law Sishui Qing ([-])
After the plan is finalized, it needs to be united and united among the Mohists to achieve it.

When it comes to building water conservancy projects, explain the truth clearly, don't just wait for the day and night, mobilization is not too difficult.

With Shiwu as the unit, one person will be sent out each, and the rest can continue to reclaim the wasteland.

The construction of water conservancy can be exchanged for money, and ironware can be purchased first. In addition, each Mohist has completely controlled the grassroots in each township, and the mobilization was quickly completed in early February.

Based on the previous organization skills of defending the city and the practical experience of the previous iron smelting organization activities, it is not difficult to organize more than a thousand people.

Iron excavation tools such as shovels, picks, and brazing tools are also given priority. Mohists use iron as an equivalent in exchange for tools such as peasant women weaving bamboo baskets. There will be no problem with the number of people.

Iron is a lucrative industry, and the profit is high enough for the Mozi to have sufficient funds to complete this matter. In addition, the gold and copper exchanged by the Mozi from other places are effectively controlled from entering the market circulation in Pei County. The value of the currency controlled by the Mozi There will be no huge fluctuations.

After more than a thousand people organized in the name of repairing water conservancy, they did not distribute tools immediately, but distributed weapons first.

Originally, these farmers had all been trained in performing martial arts, and after they were organized, they were not expected to be the main force, but to act as a deterrent in terms of numbers.

At the end of February, volunteers from Peixian County and organized Mohists officially entered Peiyi, and more than a thousand farmers digging ditches in name were stationed in Peiguo, not far from Peiyi.

Mohists don’t need to be trustworthy. Everything they have done before has gained enough trust, so they can directly announce their own policies.

"Rituals" says, Ji Chunzhiyue: The anger is abundant, the yang energy is vented, the sentence is completed, and the cuteness is fully realized, and it is not allowed.The emperor bude favors.There are departmental orders, granting granaries, bestowing gifts on the poor, raising poverty, opening government treasuries, issuing coins and silk, running the world, encouraging princes, hiring celebrities, and respecting sages.

Although the Mohists don't take "Ritual" seriously and have their own set of principles, it is just the right time to do the selection of "Shangxian" in the month of spring.

The villages outside Peiyi basically implement the method of two seasons a year and rotating and fallow farming, but the public land and allotment land in Peiyi still retain the original habit of plowing in February.

According to the perfect situation described in "Li", the end of February should be the day to open warehouses and release grain to help the poor.But none of the princes and nobles obeyed.

The Mohist provided some low-interest loans to the farmers in Peiyi, and distributed some grain seeds from surrounding villages in exchange for iron oxen.

Feng Xuan bought justice for Mr. Mengchang, and what he spent was the interest part of the usury loan.Mohists buy righteousness in Peiyi, which is basically the same.

Originally, this could not be done, because it would offend the big local loan sharks.

Now that the people of Chu are about to besiege the Song Dynasty, the situation in the world is about to undergo a huge change. At this time, Mo Zhe holds the Beicheng Gate Master and the Peixian Volunteer Master in his hands, plus the recruited farmers, with strong force, it is time to completely turn his face.

After more than 600 Mohists and righteous teachers entered Peiyi, they quickly controlled the situation.

Near Mozhe's workshop, distribute loans and food, organize drama performances, and preach the righteousness of Mozhe.

A few days later, Shi Shi came to the center of Peiyi, followed by dozens of swordsmen as a deterrent, and people in Peiyi kept gathering here.

There is no need for standing trees, the credit is already there, and the prestige is already there.Standing comfortably on the carriage, you can quiet the surroundings by pressing your hands.

"The moon of Jichun is the time to hire celebrities and respect the sages. Mohist scholars appreciate the virtuous. Now it is Jichun, and it is also the time to visit sages."

"As long as you talk about appreciating talents, you have also heard what the Mohists said about the method of selecting talents after the appearance of grass and silk. It is said that there are famous people in Pei County, but since you are a famous person, you are not afraid of the Mohist's method of selecting talents."

"I heard people say that the local hermits and celebrities are very dissatisfied with the fact that the Mohist established the Pei County government and did not hire them."

Most of the people who heard this saying below were not celebrities or hermits, and all of them laughed when they heard this.

Shi smiled and said: "Mohists are not bragging, they have seen many celebrities and hermits in the world. Yang Zhu, Lie Yukou, Duan Ganmu, Meng Sunyang... Which of these famous people have we Mohists never seen? They want to talk to us. Even in the debate, they even came to us on their own initiative. We have been here for so long and we have never seen anyone come to us, saying that they have talents, can do things that benefit the world, or can be a small official in Pei County. Not a single one. "

"Whether you are a famous person or not, you don't just talk about it with your mouth. They talk about the world even if they can't see the general trend of the world clearly; they talk about being officials if they can't even learn nine numbers well... Is this considered a famous scholar or sage? "

"Our Mohist giant said that being an official is not a reward, but to do things well. What to do? Of course, it is a matter of benefiting the world and benefiting all people."

"You have the heart of benefiting the world and the people, and you feel that you have the talent, then take the initiative. It is impossible to expect the ink-blowers to visit you. We don't have the time, and love will not come."

"What are officials? In fact, they are the same as Jiarong and Baigong. They receive a salary and do their own things well."

"To be a carpenter, you must know how to use an axe; to be a mason, you must know how to use a hammer and rope wheel; to be a farmer, you must use solar terms to cultivate..."

"In this case, if you are a farmer, you must know more about farming than farmers; if you are a government official, you must at least understand nine numbers better than ordinary people; if you are an official, you must understand various skills better than craftsmen."

"The giant said: Let each person get his own strengths, and the world's affairs should be taken care of; if he divides his duties, the world's affairs will be achieved; everyone likes them, and the world's affairs will be prepared. Only in this way can the world be benefited."

"For this reason, the Mohists will select talents in three days for the benefit of the peasants, craftsmen, merchants and other people in Peiyi."

"If there is a virtuous person, he will go up, if there is no virtuous person, let it go. Let the officials in Peiyi be like Xiangting, and manage Pei well. Do you think it is good?"

The rural pavilions outside Peiyi have been developed for two years, and the contrast is quite strong.Although there are actually many reasons, there must be bureaucratic factors among the many reasons.

When I asked this question, I used the township pavilion in Peixian County as the trust in Peiyi City, and immediately got bursts of applause.

There are applause, and naturally there are opposition.

When the cheers of the people quieted down, those who opposed asked loudly: "Who gave you Mohists the power and responsibility? Why do you choose talents?"

Mo Zhe will not kill without reason, so these people have no scruples in asking, they think that they seem to have nothing to do with Mo Zhe.

Hearing such a ridiculous question, Shi thought that it was like asking those who rebelled... who gave them the power not to starve and die in peace, it was so ridiculous that it couldn't be any more ridiculous.

So, he said calmly and casually: "In the name of benefiting the world!"

Immediately someone mocked: "What a name for benefiting the world! What you Mohists do, even if it is really benefiting the world, but the rules of the world are not like this! Why do you change? Are you princes and nobles? You are the sons of heaven Is it? You are nothing, why change the rules of the world?"

Shi repeated again: "For the benefit of the world."

The man had long been quite dissatisfied with many actions of the Mohist, and knew that the Mohist would not kill without reason, so seeing that the swordsman beside him did not exist, he took a step forward and asked: "The rules of the world are set by the sages. Don’t Mohists think they understand your so-called ‘Will of Heaven’ better than sages?”

Shi nodded very calmly, and said, "When it comes to farming, Houji and Shennong are not as good as me; when it comes to car workers, Xi Zhong is not as good as our giants. Is there anything strange about this?"

"Tianzhi is like a high mountain. The ancient saints wanted to pursue Tianzhi and climbed up for a long time. Those successors started to climb from the place where the saints climbed. This is what the saints want to see. Of course, the Mohist must You understand Tianzhi better than a sage."

The man laughed loudly and said, "Arrogance! The sage may know the will of heaven, but he didn't say it!"

Shi became angry and said: "You actually insulted the holy king! The holy king wants to benefit the world, don't you think the holy king doesn't want to benefit the world? Don't you think that the Yellow Emperor, Dayu, Shang Tang, Wenwu... are all single husbands, Do you just want to rule the world?"

That person was so choked up, it was hard to refute on this issue, it was hard to say that the Holy King was not for the benefit of the world, but he couldn't figure out where this insult came from.

Among the crowd, Jiao He, Wei's spy, nodded and smiled secretly when he heard Shi Shi's words, thinking that the man didn't know how to live or die, and actually argued with Mo Zhe?
The man said helplessly: "Of course the Holy King is for the benefit of the world, but why have I insulted the Holy King?"

Shi coldly scolded: "You are insulting the holy king! If the holy king is for the benefit of the world, our gunpowder technique can be used to dredge water conservancy. If Dayu knew, wouldn't he pass it down to make it easier for the world to live in the future?" Is it through the river?"

"Since the Holy King wants to benefit the world, all things that benefit the world will be handed down and told. Then, what has not been handed down or said must be something they don't know yet."

"You said that the Holy King knew about it but didn't say it. Isn't it like saying: Someone is starving to death, and the Holy King has food in his hand, but he refuses to give it to the starving person?"

"The Mohist said that the Holy King didn't give that person food because he didn't have any food in his hands. But you just said that what you Mohist said was wrong. The Holy King clearly has a lot of food in his hand..."

"Isn't this ridiculous? If the holy king has food and doesn't distribute it to people who are about to starve to death, why can't the rules of the holy king be changed? If the holy king doesn't have so much food, why can't he use new rules to grow more food?" How much food?"

This is a sneaky change of concept. The man hesitated for a while, and finally pondered a little question, and asked: "But the Holy King has given a way to appoint officials."

Shi spread his hands and said: "That's because when the sage king didn't have grass, silk, brush and ink. If the sage king had grass, brush and ink, wouldn't the sage king come up with such a way to promote the virtuous?"

"When it's hot, people want to enjoy the shade, but there is only one tree, and the sage king asked everyone to come here in turn. If it's still hot today, Mo Zhe relied on the will of heaven to plant a tree that can shelter hundreds of people. But you say, The Holy King said that they must come one by one in turn... I am afraid that if the Holy King is resurrected, he will definitely smash you pedantic people!"

"You say that, you are harming the world!"

After he scolded, he took a step forward, and the swordsman behind him followed immediately.

Shi said to the crowd: "Who has any questions?"

Those who opposed looked at the swordsmen around him, thought of those Mohists who poured into Peiyi and righteous teachers with spears, and said in their hearts that they can't fight now, and they can't make sense, so I will kill you and make you shut up And dare not... Then who dares to have a problem?

It's just that I will let you Mohists toss about it today, I'm afraid there will be a way to make you pay for today's arrogance tomorrow.
