warring states careerist

Chapter 246 The King of Jing and Song Dynasties is Heartbroken ([-])
A few very life-like scenes narrowed the distance between the peasants in the world.

The Mohist theory of universal love is similar to fraternity, but it is completely different, because universal love evolved from kinship and unequal love. It does not exclude intimacy, but just demonstrates that loving others and others loving you is double rewards. Love, to justify it.

The nobles do not love common peasants.

Why should common peasants love nobles?
Since relatives and estrangements are not excluded, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the common peasants loving the common peasants first, and then after loving the common peasants, they have the spare energy to love the nobles and princes.

Appropriately solved a question of Shangqiu people: Why did the volunteers from Pei County help Shangqiu defend the city?
It seems that this explanation is the most reasonable, just because everyone is a peasant, so they are similar, so there is love.

Just as common peasants are unwilling to fight and are forced to be recruited every time they fight, the people of Shangqiu can easily understand why the Chu people outside the city came to attack Shangqiu.

The appropriate words are extremely poignant: even if Shangqiu City is breached, the land will not be available to the farmers and soldiers of Chu, and even if it becomes the food town of the prince of Chu, it will be no different from before.

After everyone was silent for a while, they said, "Shi, you are right. Who among us wants to fight? Aren't princes and nobles warlike? For profit?"

"That's right, you Mohist said how many warlike kings there are in the world, so if these warlike kings get the land, they won't be able to turn to those peasants and soldiers!"

"We are not aristocrats, and we don't have a fiefdom. That's why we don't want to guard Shangqiu. If the Chu people come and say that they recognize private mothers and reduce taxes, I'm afraid we'll capture the king and sacrifice it to the king of Chu!"

I don't know who said this, everyone laughed, and knew that although it was a joke, it might not be impossible to do it if there is such a day.

After all, the people of Chu are no longer Yidi at this time, and the people of Song Dynasty are in the world, and they have never experienced what Yidi is, so it is easy to accept the concept of Mohism's world.

Shi Yin smiled and said: "Look, it is because of this universal love, and precisely because everyone is a peasant, businessman and businessman, it is impossible to charge the same interest as the nobles for the food that Pei County lends to you."

"You need to remember this friendship. If one day the peasants in Pei County suffer from a famine, you should also remember what happened today!"

One is that everyone is moved by suitable talk, and the other is that the biggest problem facing them now is the food shortage. How can they think about whether to do it or not?

He just agreed again and again, and said again: "The matter of borrowing food, even if it is settled like this."

"At that time, the craftsmen will organize the production of ink carts, and you will be responsible for cutting down trees. At that time, each family will have one, and it is not impossible to pay back in the future. The Mo family can still pay you in advance."

"After the ink cart is ready, we will go to Pei County to transport grain. Road construction may be required along the way. This is all to be done."

"At that time, our Mo family will organize you, as long as you do it. You contribute your strength, and we will organize it."

Everyone agreed again and again, thinking that this is not the same as repairing a palace, after all, it is for themselves.

Of course we don't want to build palaces and the like, since we can't live in them and delay the farming season.

Shi Chong waved his hand at everyone and said: "The borrowed matter is considered finished. However, the repayment matter has not been discussed yet."

"Our Mohism values ​​faith, so we can guarantee the food in Pei County for you. But you must not let our Mohism lose their faith!"

"If we lose our faith, how can we survive in this world?"

"So, how to pay it back? You need to fight for this matter, and you also need to know how to fight for it in the Advisory Council."

Having said all this, he finally got to the point.

Form an alliance with the Chu people?There is no need to talk about this kind of thing at all, and even how to form an alliance has already been finalized by the Mohists. Export iron and technology.

Once the siege war is over, these people will have less opportunities to organize, and will become individual small farmers, making it difficult to organize again.

The Advisory Council is the real big thing to do, so he has to take advantage of the opportunity that they are still organized to finish a lot of things.

After everyone quieted down, Shi finally started to talk about "how to repay".

To repay, you need to have it yourself.

If you have it yourself, you need to produce it yourself, minus your own food, drink and tax obligations.

The rest is considered surplus, and can repay those loans.

In addition to the fact that one's own food and drink can remain unchanged, production, taxes, and obligations can all be changed.

Originally, the people of Shangqiu did not have the capital to discuss politics, but now they are organized, and the Mohists are backed by terrifying force, so they naturally have the qualifications to discuss politics and fight for interests.

What is appropriate to say is nothing more than a few things that have been preached before.

The collection of taxes requires the permission of the Advisory Council before it can be collected.This includes the tribute of noble fiefdoms and taxation of private land. It is necessary for the people to strive for a fixed tax amount. It is not possible to add a Qiujia tax today and a Sumai tax tomorrow.

For production, it is necessary to reform the public land system in Shangqiu City, completely destroy the public land, set up a mutual aid group of three or five households, and make maximum use of cattle and horses to complete the transformation of cattle farming.

In order to attract a large amount of aristocratic funds to invest in the handicraft industry in Pei County, it is necessary to borrow the expectations of the people to set the highest interest rate, so as to ensure that the profits obtained by investing in handicraft industry and manor agriculture are higher than those obtained by lending.

But to ensure these implementations, or to say that these will not be overthrown and changed at will by Song Gong and the nobles, it is necessary to win the rights to discuss political power, assemble and organize township communities and schools.

This kind of right is like the gods and gods who supervise the world. If Song Gong and the nobles violate it in the future, they must be organized and powerful to blow their heads.

Just like when Zichan did not destroy the township school, but when Zichan died, the "street political cafes" township schools in Zheng State were destroyed and forced to close down. The trustworthiness is not only the nobles, but also the monarch. Therefore, the people of Shangqiu must maintain sufficient military advantages. .

All kinds of needs and rights are linked together.

The latter is the guarantee of the former, and the former provides enough spare money and strength for the people to strengthen the latter.

These principles are not complicated, and it has been explained clearly after a while. In the final analysis, this is a major matter related to the entire Shangqiu people, and it is closely related to everyone's personal interests, and everyone listens with gusto.

As for Pei County's request, Shi didn't mention it at all, or it was not the time to mention it.

He just wants the people of Shangqiu to remember that Pei County has paid for them. They owe a debt to the people of Pei County. When the time is right, they will naturally lead everyone to make the right decision, or what he wants.

From the land system, taxation reform to the right of association, the sky has begun to light up, but the people are not sleepy, but are fascinated by listening. More and more people gather around to listen to the speech, suitable The words became more and more intense.

After everything was almost clear, Shi finally mentioned the most inconspicuous thing about the Song-Chu alliance.

"Although the Xunzheng Yuan has not yet been established, Duke Song has made an oath that in the future, any major events such as moving the capital, ascending the throne, and forming an alliance must be asked to the public."

"Now that we are about to form an alliance with the Chu people, it is inevitable for the Chu people to retreat, but what will happen after the retreat? If the Chu people don't attack in the future, what if the Three Jins come to attack?"

Shi said: "The Mohists are against unjust wars, so the Mohists are always close to the State of Song. Why do you think this is?"

The people in Shangqiu knew many jokes about Shangqiu, and they also understood the meaning of the words, so they all laughed.

Obviously, since the state of Song has not been qualified to launch unjust wars since Duke Xiang.

This is not to say that there is no strength at all. If Ruoshi did not appear in this world, Song Dynasty rose briefly after decades.

Of course, he beat up small countries like Teng and Xue for a while, and then arrogantly thought that I was the strongest in the world.

Of course, the ending is to be destroyed by Qi, Chu, Wei, Han and other countries, and the country will be divided up once.The State of Song, which once controlled Qi in Pingchu, was wiped out, so that Huaisi Western Chu became the last foundation of Chu people like Xiang Yu decades later.

As for now, Song State has not launched an unjust war for many years.

The state of Chu cannot be defeated in the south, and the three Jins are strong in the north.There is Qilu in the east, and Zheng Chu in the west, which is really dead.

In addition to Yue Mie Teng, the Yue people are still fierce tigers now. They just had a brilliant time in Qufu, and let the Qihou Shen ride in the Luhou's car, and the Song people dared not even touch the small countries in the land of Huaisi.

Shi Bian said: "Actually, Song State is the most feasible to implement Mohism's theory of non-aggression and eliminating unjust wars. If others don't come to attack Song State, Song State really has no strength to attack other countries."

"Since this is the case, Shangqiu City can naturally set up volunteers like Pei County."

"If other countries come to attack, it will naturally be an unjust war, and you will naturally have to defend it. Of course, this must be done after Song Gong and the nobles agreed to the request for change, otherwise the Chu people will come to the Chu people. Paying taxes, that's no different than now."

"If Song Gong is crazy and wants to start a war of injustice, I think he can go abroad and change the king."

"Furthermore, if we want to grow wheat in the future, we can no longer use the rituals and seasons of the week."

"Winter wheat is everywhere, where do you go to perform martial arts in winter? Spring and autumn are busy, how can you shoot and hunt? The volunteers in Peixian County can capture Lord Chu with their feet, and Shangqiu can defend the city with their feet."

"Therefore, the establishment of volunteer teachers still needs to be carefully considered, and it can't be the same as before."

"What is a righteous teacher? It means only fighting righteously and not fighting unjustly. This is what Song Gong and Liuqing Sicheng must agree to. If they don't agree, then there is no need to form an alliance this time."

"Maybe you don't know how to negotiate about the alliance, so our Mo family has thought of something for you, you can listen to it."

"One, Song Chu Mi Bing."

"Secondly, Song has remained neutral since then, neither pro-Jin nor pro-Chu. If the Mohist and Jin-Chu fight against each other, and the Jin people attack, they will ask Chu for help, and Chu must agree in this covenant."

"Thirdly, Shangqiu set up volunteers to help defend the city, and they were trained by the Mohist people who are independent from the princes. The required taxes are borne by the people of Shangqiu, and they are discussed in the Advisory Council."

"Fourth, if the Duke of Song launches an unjust war, the Righteous Master League will oppose it, so as to ensure that he will not attack the Chu people."

"Fifth, the right to command the righteous division belongs to the authorization of the Advisory Council, not to Song Gong's arbitrary decision."

"For the rest, they did not persecute the Chu people. After all, Chu is a big country. If it is too humiliating, I am afraid that the Chu people will betray the alliance, and then it will not be able to end."

　Do not underestimate the political participation of the people at this time.A few years later, Zheng Guo attacked Chu because of the prince's succession war, and the people of the country went to war against Chu because of their reaction. They fled directly from the battlefield and resisted passively. They would rather be captured than fight.
