warring states careerist

Chapter 285
Gong Zaoye hurriedly asked, "I don't know where the road is?"

Shi smiled and said: "You can ask about the place where the Mohist private school was established in Juyi, a big city."

"The Mohists earn huge profits from selling ironware, and they also want to expand their armaments and armaments. They are in need of helpers such as mining, iron smelting, coal smelting, and forging. You can come and do the work."

"To restrain the world, the Mohists need a sharp sword and correct soldiers. You can be a soldier, and you can get money every month."

"Down from Surabaya, on both sides of the Huaihe River, and around Pengcheng, there are still many barren marshes that can be reclaimed into fertile land. The Mohist subsidizes ironware and organizes joint farming. You can still come."

"If you are penniless and cannot come to Pei County, then please go to the private traffic schools of the Mohists in various cities, and organize people to travel down Surabaya to Pei County every month."

Gong Zaoye glanced at Qin Huali, and said with a smile, "So, your loom will be free, and I will go to Pei County to find Mohist."

Qin Huali said: "You go yourself. Originally, only 300 people are needed to cultivate a thousand people. Pei County can't accommodate [-] people in the world. I can still find others."

Shi laughed loudly, stretched out his finger and said, "Ten years later!"

"Ten years later, you will smelt iron in Peixian County. You will smelt iron for ten years. The technique is pure. Just as a giant cut wood into an axle in a short while, ten times faster than a novice craftsman, so the ironware in Peixian County can also produce ten times in ten years. times or even more.”

"As a result, the world benefits. Many self-cultivating farmers have iron tools, and there is enough food every day, which benefits the world."

"As the grain is sufficient, I'm afraid that Qinzi's cloth can be sold more, and more money will be accumulated, and more weavers will be hired, so Qinzi will also benefit and become richer."

Qin Huali nodded and said: "Exactly. If there is no surplus food, there will be no money. If there is no money, you can't buy cloth. If you can't buy cloth, I can't sell it. If you want people all over the world to buy more cloth, after all, the ironware in Pei County will have to produce more. If there are many, the method of harvesting and ox farming should also be spread all over the world.”

Shi looked at Grandson Gao again, and said with a smile: "Now, ten years later, you will also benefit. Then, the Mohists say that wealth comes from labor, do you not need me to explain anything, you are willing to accept it? "

Grandson Gao thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Exactly. Why should Shiqing's aristocratic fief belong to them? They can get money without doing anything. Naturally, I hope that I don't have to pay them rent, and even I am richer than them and am willing to buy this land."

"At that time, I don't need much reason, I am happy to believe that wealth comes from hard work, and it is unreasonable for Shiqing nobles to entrust land. My brain, my knowledge, and my money have earned money. And Giant...you are nothing but a silverfish, you get something for nothing."

Mozi had already heard a hint of it, and laughed loudly: "Yes, but I just want to say, is there any king in the world, and Shiqing's nobles entrusted the land, this is the truth between heaven and earth. Your reason, and my reason, It's different!"

"The principles are different, so what should we do? Heaven's will is like rules, but there is only one kind of truth that is in line with Heaven's will."

Grandson Gao said hesitantly: "But I have money. I can buy firearms and cannons from Pei County, and I heard that the principles of the Mohists are the ones I like, so I think I should change the principles of the world. By the way, Drive your land away and sell it all over the world, and the highest bidder will get it. Don’t I have the most money? In this case, I don’t have to pay you any more rent.”

Shi Ye smiled and said: "That's not all. Over the years, the private schools of the Mohist School have cultivated many people who can be masters, so they open private schools to teach knowledge for a living."

"Gao grandson and Qinzi all have money. So let their children go to school, and they all succeed."

Shi took a look at Qin Huali, and said with a smile, "If so, in ten years, which one of the Mohists' principles do you like the most?"

Qin Zi said: "I don't have a farm, I only weave cloth. So I think I like the Mohists the most...the two principles of equality and respect for the worthy."

"Choose virtuous persons for appointment. Those who are capable will go up and those who are incapable will go down. People, old or young, high or low, are all ministers of the Emperor of Heaven. If I am capable, I can also be the Minister of the Advisory Council!"

"I'm just afraid that the giant will disagree! I think that the noble is always noble, so there is no other way, so I have no choice but to support the Mohist philosophy with money, relying on firearms and bronze cannons, to fight for the abolition of Shiqing, the selection of talents, and the people Equality."

Shi also said helplessly: "My Mohists are in the area of ​​Peixian, Teng, Xue, and Pengcheng, changing politics, improving fields, organizing production, teaching the will of heaven, saving money and burials, and the population doubles. Is there anything to rely on? Tourists who are beneficial to the heart of the world go to him."

"Within ten years, the land increased, the ironware was abundant, and there were more than ten thousand troops. At this time, there was a dispute in the Song Dynasty's Consulting Court. The Common People's Court wanted to abolish Shiqing, but the Gentleman's Court wanted to retain the privilege of fiefdom. My Mohist family recognized the inquiry. The Political Yuan has the most rules, so isn't this going to uphold the rules?"

Everyone present laughed and said, "It's time to uphold the rules."

Shi spread his hands and said: "Look, Juzi, you don't know what I'm going to do, so for the sake of profit, you will definitely rent the land to Grandson Gao, and then drive those farmers who rent the land away."

"Even if you don't do it, the rest of the 'you' will do it. Even if you don't rent it to others, you can also operate it yourself, and the result is still the same. Gongzaoye can only go to Qinhuali to work, or come to Peipei Yi joins the army, works, and cultivates the fields."

"I didn't persuade anyone, nor did I reason with anyone. I just lured them with profit, so it was more effective than reason."

"And when the time comes, it will be much easier to reason than it is now. You see, Gao Sunzi and Qinzi both directly agree with the principle that Shangxian and equal wealth come from hard work."

Those who were present, since they were all from their own family, and they were all high-ranking Mohists, there was no need to worry that these words would be leaked to the outside world, and Shi Ye boldly said a few words about ambition that he had never said before.

"Juzi, you want to reason with the princes and nobles, so that they can both love the virtuous and not attack... I think... since the emperor can choose, there is actually another way to go."

"Speaking of reason...is too troublesome, and they don't want to listen. We can just 'choose' a prince who is both loving, eminent, non-aggressive, righteous, and beneficial to the world. Why is it so troublesome?"

"Besides, after 20 or 30 years, the Mojia School has cultivated no less than five thousand people who can be politically aware. Chu is a big country with a radius of thousands of miles, and it is governed by only a few thousand royal families and scholars. Our Mohists rely on Why can't we rely on thousands of Mohists decades later to govern thousands of miles of land?"

"Is it because our intelligence is not as good as those princes and nobles? Is our courage not as sharp as theirs? Is our weapons not as sharp as theirs? Is it because we are not as popular as them?"

"They can govern, why can't we govern? Why can't we do better? Why can't we be the 'son of heaven' to benefit the world?"

He has been in the Mo family for a long time, and has been hiding his true purpose.

It's not that he doesn't trust the Mohist people, at least he can trust these people. This is a group of people who can die for the benefit of the world.

But if these words were said three or five years ago, they would only be regarded as lunatics.

But now, it can only cause shock, rather than being regarded as a lunatic.

It is too troublesome to persuade princes and nobles... let the Mo family who loves Feigong directly become the emperor...

This is a crazy idea, but at this time, it will not make people laugh, but make the more than twenty Mohist essences sitting around bow their heads and meditate.

The previous performance made them understand Shi's so-called conspiracy, and what kind of power Shi was borrowing from.

As Shi Shi said, attracting people with profit, without persuasion, without appeal, it just seems to benefit people, but the result is some truths pursued by the Mohists, and people will naturally believe it without telling too much.

In the whole world, is it the land of the king, the king grants the feudal lords, the feudal lords confer the titles of high officials, and the great officials confer titles of scholars... It seems that this is a matter of course.

But one day those who benefit from it have money and strength, they will think: Why do I have to pay land rent to these princes and nobles?They didn't do anything, why did they get the rent?
People are always willing to believe what they want to believe.

Now we need to explain a lot of truths to their rhetoric that labor will create wealth.

In the future, if you talk about this set of rhetoric to those who rely on labor capital to get rich, they will be very happy to think that this is the truth of the will of heaven, and they are not willing to believe the nonsense that kings and nobles are taken for granted.

As for how they will dismiss these principles as worthless in the future, that is the business of later generations, and has nothing to do with it at this time.

If appropriate, a compromise was still made.

Since Mozi thinks that the king of Chu has a slim waist and the king of Yue rewards the warriors, there is a principle of acting like a king, so he has two paths.

Just because of the times, no one has thought about the other way for the time being.

Either persuade the existing kings of Chu and Yue.

Or, be the king of Chu with a thin waist and the king of Yue who rewards warriors.

Originally persuading this matter, Mozi and some Mohist disciples still had illusions.

Before that, Shi also pretended to support this fantasy, not only pretending to support it, but also contributing to this fantasy, until the battle of Shangqiu, the Central Plains will be wiped out, making this fantasy seem to be one step away from being realized.

Mozi and those Mohist disciples who have fantasies have never been so close to this dream!
Appropriately waving the flag at the side and shouting: It makes sense, ah, the Central Plains is about to eliminate soldiers, and the theory of saving energy and not attacking is about to be practiced by the king!As Juzi's disciple, I am so happy!

Then... Shi didn't do anything, and didn't say anything, the kings of all countries punctured this Mohist fantasy by themselves.

To have it and then lose it is the most disillusioned and hurts more than never having it.

Originally, he was clear-headed, and he believed that the elimination of soldiers in the Central Plains this time was just a balance of great powers as Shi said. However, because of illusions in his heart, he felt that even a helpless balance would be fine.

But now, the illusion is completely shattered.

It was not punctured by Shi Shi who always wanted to puncture this fantasy, but by the kings of various countries who fantasized about being able to reason.

After the prince of the Mo family decided to go to Zheng this spring, they were all slapped hard, and the sound was extremely loud: The Ministry of Xuanyi published in the "newspaper" of the giant city of Dayi, about non-aggression and love, and the use of development to eliminate soldiers The ink has not yet dried, just like the corners of the mouth that mocked the childish smirk of the Mohists.

After disillusionment, it seems that there is only one of the two paths of "persuading the king of Chu to be thinner" and "being the king of Chu himself to be thinner".

Just how to go about this one?No one thought about it.

I said it today, and said it so ambitiously: to be the emperor.Establish new regulations.
