warring states careerist

Chapter 330 Is it as good as before to restore the country with strength ([-])
Teng Shuyu and the two youngest companions knelt down on the city wall and bowed to the people below, and after a while, they jumped down the less than two-foot-high city wall, rolled a few times on the ground, then jumped into the Jing River and waded. Walk.

On that day, the gates of Tengcheng were closed tightly, and the Yue people hunted and killed them wantonly according to the information provided by the people who participated in the oath.Except for some who lived outside the city, and Teng Shuyu who escaped, all the oath participants who did not participate in the whistleblowing were killed, and several families were massacred.

The Yue people came prepared, and many were killed before they could resist.

But Teng Shuyu escaped with gunpowder and some companions, killing and wounding more than [-] or [-] Yue soldiers along the way, which made the Yue nobles in Tengdi very disturbed.

He knew that those terrifying weapons came from the Mohist school. It was just a rumor, but today many Yue soldiers saw it with their own eyes and knew the power of this thing. They couldn't help being shocked.

Originally, it was just to send people to inform the king of Yue, and to send troops to rescue as soon as possible, thousands of people would be enough.Looking at it now, I'm afraid it wasn't that easy, and hastily sent people to Langya, only saying that they need to raise an army to go.

After slaughtering those insiders in the city, he hurriedly prepares to defend the city, as long as he can hold it, when the time comes, it will be a great achievement for himself to lead the people to come.

It's just that his means of defending the city are not very good. He can only send scouts to investigate the situation in the neighboring Song Dynasty, and gather the people to prevent them from leaving the city easily.

The Yue people were also asked to confiscate the grain in the city, but the city did not dare to resist, and the people felt resentful, and there were many dissatisfied people.The Yue people killed those who were dissatisfied as a deterrent.

…………

It was mid-March when Teng Shuyu fled to Pei County. His face was haggard and his clothes were torn.

As soon as he came, he found everyone in the Mo family crying and complained, only saying that the incident in the city was leaked, the Yue people hunted and killed wantonly, and he could only flee.

Mo Zhe sighed so much, he was secretly happy because he knew that among the people organized by Teng Shuyu, there must be some people who value righteousness and despise life.

It's just that the righteousness they value is not the righteousness of the Mohist school, and the Mohist occupation of the land is not at all to restore the country and the original system, but to promote the righteousness of the Mohist school itself.

Those who "emphasize righteousness" are worthy of admiration, but their emphasis on righteousness is wrong, because what they think "righteousness" is to restore the old noble rule of Teng State, such people will definitely oppose the Mohist reform in Teng in the future.

Shi came forward to appease Teng Shuyu for a while, and then a Mohist informed Shi, and the giant called a committee to discuss the matter of sending troops.

In fact, the preparations for dispatching troops have already been completed, and even the people who followed the expedition to deliver supplies have already begun to mobilize and organize, but there is no reason to go to war.

There are many reasons, such as drills, such as digging canals, etc., which have been done over the years, and the people are highly organized, and enough people can be organized within a few days.

The division of the Three Brigades has always been out of production training, and can go to Tengdi at any time, and the distance between the two places is not far away.

All that's left is propaganda, and the final form to get the "general will" of the people.

Because the Mo family has not yet completely turned against the old rules of the old aristocrats, and directly shouting that they want to overthrow the old world and establish a new world, they are really afraid at this time, so they need to change their propaganda methods.

It can not only get the permission of the people, but also won't be shocked and opposed by the princes of the world.

This kind of propaganda fell on the Xuanyi Department, and it also fell on Ji Te who was brought back by Mo Zhe to "study".

It's not that the Mohists still value "bloodlines", but that if they don't have this "bloodlines", they are declaring war with the princes of the world.

The king of Yue can destroy Teng, the feudal lords can go to war, the doctor can take the position, and the high officials can divide the Jin Dynasty, but such things as "choosing the emperor" and "choosing the king" are not allowed.

So this lineage is not for the people to see, but for the princes of the world.

Kit, whose pedigree is fairly pure, has been here for more than half a year and is studying at the township school.

In the morning, I learn the basic characters with some children or some of the Mohists or Youshi who joined, and in the afternoon, I usually explain the truth to him...

Talking about it every now and then, which lasted for half a year, Ji Te also understood what kind of thing she was—a tablet found by the Mohists, used to stop the mouths of the princes of the world.

Kit feels that she is like a cow, a cow in the Peixian cattle and horse farm. When talking about it, people always talk about whether the blood of this cow is the most majestic bull... Except for cows and horses, Peixian People don't talk about blood.

However, he feels that he is a human being, and he also feels that he is like a cow and horse in Peixian County, because many people will point behind his back and say: "This man's grandfather is Teng Guokaogong"...just like those who point out cattle and horses in the cattle and horse farm.

He thought about what Shi said, and found that even if he was to restore the country, he was really just a memorial tablet.

It is impossible to give him power at all, but it is said that he must gather "general will" to select hundreds of officials and order Yin, and formulate laws, and the position of Marquis Teng...is only responsible for ceremonial sacrifices or the final signing of some resolutions-and he did not formulate those resolutions In the end, it's just a process to print the seal.

No real power.

If you say that you are the king of Cheng, Ling Yin is the Duke of Zhou?It seems that it is still not right, it is a bit similar, but after listening carefully, you can see that it is not the case at all.

If you follow that rule, there will be no power struggles such as the monarchy and the Advisory Council.

He himself knew that he had no roots, and after Teng Shuyu fled back to Pei County in embarrassment, he also knew that his blood had no appeal, and it was impossible to fight for power without the ability.

According to the reason at this time, Teng's original public land and public land must belong to him, the future Marquis of Teng, as a matter of course.

But the Mohist told him that this is not a matter of course. Even according to the "Zhou Li", the monarch of a small country has a lot of salary, which is nothing more than the land of Beiqing.

Since you want to borrow this tablet from him, those people have to stop some people’s mouths. You can’t say that you can invite him to this tablet and then really, as he said, "rely on your own strength, the monarch and the people work together", then you have to let the nobles and princes of the world join forces to oppose it. Mohists can't.

Now the Mohists don't want to completely provoke the dissatisfaction of the princes, so they have to find enough excuses from the "Li" that the princes seem to obey.

"Royal System" says: control one hundred acres of farmland.For a hundred mu, the top farmers feed nine, the next eight feed, the next seven feed, the next six feed, and the bottom farm feeds five.Common people who are officials, their salary is considered poor.Scholars under the feudal lords regard them as farmers, and their salary is enough to farm on their behalf.A sergeant is a corporal, a sergeant is a sergeant, and a doctor is a sergeant.Qing, the four great husbands.Jun, ten Qinglu.The minister of the second country, the three major husbands, the king, and the ten ministers.The Qing of a small country is twice as big as the official, and the king is the tenth.

This kind of nine-number learning seems to be a bit troublesome to calculate, but fortunately, he preached that he is unparalleled all day long, so he helped to do the calculations and quickly came up with the answer.

Since Teng is a small country, according to this calculation, the "lu" field owned by Marquis Teng should be ten times the salary of a doctor, that is, twenty wells.

Normally, twenty wells are [-] mu, but because the Mohist revolution wants to strip away the public land system and the system of binding land to serfs, each well is only counted as the [-] mu of Lutian of the original public land, which is the Lutian theory owned by Marquis Teng Up to two thousand acres.

And because this mu is Zhou mu, which is manpower mu, not cattle plowing mu, so the number of mu converted into normal Mohist weights and measures is only one-third, that is, [-] mu.

So Shizai happily told Ji Te after finishing the calculation, saying that the [-] mu of land is your Tenghou's Lutian, which will be drawn from the public land occupied by the Yue people after the restoration of the country.

But the public land labor system will be abolished, and the well fields will be abolished. This is for the benefit of the world and the country, so no one will help you cultivate the [-] acres of land.

You, either hire the "helper" you did before to farm, and run it yourself.

Or, you can lease out the [-] mu of land and let others rent and plant your land for operation, and you will collect the rent.

No matter what, after taking the teng land, only [-] mu of those public lands will be allocated to you, and the rest will be distributed to the people.

Of course, the ownership of the palace that has been built still belongs to him, Marquis Teng. As for whether he has the money to repair it, it has nothing to do with others.

If the Advisory Council can pass a decree to repair the palace for you, then that's fine, but Kit knows it's very slim when she hears it.

This can be regarded as giving enough face to the princes of the world, and it is not good to really let this Marquis Teng support himself.

Shi also made it clear that the Mohists would send troops to help if they used the righteousness of the Mohists.

Ji Texin said that I didn't want to restore the country, you took the initiative, but this matter is better than me helping others, so of course I agreed.

Besides, it's already like this, what should I do if I don't agree?I can't go back to Tengdi, you let Teng Shuyu preach that I want to restore the country, how can the Yue people tolerate me?I fled to Lu Kingdom and Chu Kingdom, and they didn't even recognize me as a son of a side branch. Besides, I don't even have a horse or a carriage. How can I look like a nobleman?

In the end, if I don't agree, I can only study here, and then work peacefully in the Mohist workshop...

Even though it was a memorial tablet, and even putting a piece of wood on it saying that the wood had the blood of Uncle Xiu, it didn't seem to affect the operation of Teng Kingdom at all.

Shi also told Ji Te that there are many farmers who fled from Teng in Peixian County, and some of them joined the army in the army, so they must be famous, so they hope that Ji Te will read an oath in public as the heir of Teng Kingdom , to make a request for soldiers.

The content of the oath is nothing more than that he recognizes the morality of the Mohist school to benefit the people of the world, and decides to use the morality and will of the Mohist family to carry out reforms in Teng after the restoration of the country.

The content of the reform includes breaking up the wells and opening up the rice fields, changing the tax system, changing the labor service system, allowing private farmers, promoting and selecting talents, putting the public's will first, changing the law, clarifying rewards and punishments, and so on.

Specifically, how to change everything, using Pei County as a model, is nothing more than an extra monarch who owns the mascot Marquis of Lutian with [-] acres.

In other words, the first thing he, the Marquis, would do after returning to the country was to announce reforms.The second thing is to hire the Mohist to carry out reforms for the state, and the Mohist will gather public opinion, elect candidates to discuss politics, make legislative reforms, and then he can rest.

So when the Mohists decided that they would send troops on March 23 if it didn't rain, Shi immediately found Ji Te and told him the things that had been agreed with him before.

Kit smiled and said: "I was a son, then a farmer, and now I want to return to the country as a lord. Looking around the world, there are sons in exile, and maybe there are Shangqing who have been slaves, but I have never seen anyone who has been a slave. The Marquis of the Farmer. Am I considered to be unparalleled at this time?"

Shi was very satisfied with Ji Te's attitude, and replied with a smile: "This is all for Teng Guo, don't you know the morality of the Mo family..."

Before Shi could say Ann, Kit almost subconsciously recited some principles such as honoring the virtuous and benefiting the world, to show that she fully understands, knows very well, and will never forget.

Seeing this, Shi laughed, handed over a piece of paper full of words, and said: "In that case, please come forward and read the oath to get everyone's support for your restoration of the country."
