Chapter 349 Tian Yuan Forced and Cornered ([-])
There is no doubt that the main contradictions in the world at this time are the farmers under the land closure and well field system, and the land allocation system, and the contradictions between the handicraftsmen and the nobles under the industrial, commercial and food official system.

However, the conflict between land managers and employed persons that has just emerged is not the mainstream, or even the lowest trend in the world.

The contradiction at this time was not that there were too many people and too little land, but that the peasants were bound by the Shiqing aristocratic system, which seriously restricted the development of productive forces.

The nobles will not allow the peasants to flee at will, because this involves their labor rent, personal control, the development of their own fiefs and the strength of the nobles themselves.

New relations of production have been created on the carrion of the old system, even before Shi came here, and the titles of farmer, farmer, slave, and migrant have appeared before he came to this world .

The situation in the world at this time is just like what Wu Qi said about Chu.

"The land is vast, but the people are not enough."

The land is almost unlimited, and the emergence of iron tools, curved plows, and oxen and horse plows has turned many virgin lands that have not been cultivated into fertile soil.

The key issue is to liberate the farmers on the arable land in the world at this time.

Iron ox farming has already appeared, and everyone's labor efficiency has improved, and they no longer have to be trapped on the original cultivated land.

Gao Sunzi has not yet understood this problem. He is just standing in the perspective of a commoner, and out of an intuition, he worries that one day in the future, "the rich will be connected with each other, and the poor will have no place to stand."

What makes Gao Sunzi even more unacceptable is the attitude towards those expelled renters, some... happy to see it.

After asking this question, Grandson Gao had no choice but to say: "The mainstream conflict in the world is the conflict between the nobles of Shiqing and the farmers in the well. Those farmers are the majority in the world."

Shi nodded and said: "That's right. So I still love the majority in the world, can I say that?"

Grandson Gao sighed, nodded and said, "Yes."

Shi was still not satisfied, and said: "You love each person. What I love is the person who fits under the paradise."

"For example, those Shiqing nobles, you don't love him."

"If a Shiqing nobleman gave up his fiefdom, farmed or worked by himself, supported himself, and didn't become a silverfish, don't you love him?"

Grandson Gao frowned, and said: "In that case, I love it. There are many such Mohists, such as me, Gong Zaoye, Meng Sheng...they are all like this."

Shi smiled and said, "That's right. Then, when a person never loves to love, what changes?"

Grandson Gao felt a flash in his mind, and seemed to understand, and said, "Identity... or what you said... class?"

Shi Lang laughed loudly and said, "That's right! That's how it is."

"So, it's not that I don't love those who were expelled. Don't I love them when they come to Pei County, enter the workshop, and enter the co-cultivation cooperative? You can't think of me like that!"

Grandson Gao smiled awkwardly, knowing this, he couldn't say whether he loved those people or not.

Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I still love people all over the world. It's just that this paradise can be realized, but people who still stay on the next level of paradise, my greatest love for them is to let them do what is most suitable for this paradise. The stratum of the Promised Land. This is my love, my benevolence."

"Zimozi said, benevolence is self-love. How do I love myself? I think that if the paradise of iron, ox farming, and gunpowder has been achieved, and I live in the paradise, that is my love for myself. .”

"Pushing others with myself, it's not that I don't love those people, it's just that I don't have unreasonable compassion, and I've been practicing my own love."

"They left the land, came to Pei County, entered the workshop to work, or reclaimed the land and became self-cultivators. Isn't this the greatest love? Love must be kept on the land?"

"If a man is a slave, he still thinks it's good. I don't love the slave system, so I force him not to be a slave, and he cries, so you think I'm unkind? Isn't that the same thing as this? "

This is already nonsense, and it is not a reason at all, but Grandson Gao has been a little dizzy by Shi's words at this time. After thinking about it for a long time, he feels that Shi's words seem to be right.

It's not that I don't love them, it's just that I don't love their previous production relationship.The production relationship has changed, and the person is still the same person, so you can love...

Grandson Gao thought about it for a long time, and then asked again: "For example, those who manage the land, do they produce more grain per person than before?"

Grandson Gao nodded.Shi said: "This means that if the world is poor, we should be rich. If the world is like this, the number of people in the world will not increase, but the wealth created by each person will increase. Isn't this the world that is poor, and we will be rich?"

Grandson Gao sighed and said, "Even though those people are still a minority, there are still no less than one hundred thousand people in the vastness of the world. Compared with those farmers who long for private land and acres, they are indeed a minority... However, those who are close to Pei County , can be organized by the Mohists, and have their own way of life... What about those who are not along the coast of Surabaya? What should they do?"

Shi hurriedly said: "That's why we want to develop in the Surabaya Valley, and why I want to produce extravagant things like spirits and spirits to increase the number of volunteers."

"Now we can only manage the Surabaya River Basin. In the future, we will stabilize the world. Wouldn't this solve the problems of those people?"

"One hundred thousand people, not many."

"Even if the city can't accommodate it, so what? If the Mohists win the world, relying on the control of the village community, can't they organize those people to reclaim new land?"

When Shi said this, he said with joy: "My two masters once traveled all over Kyushu, saying that the world is vast but not full of people. If iron ox farming and ridge farming work in the world, the land of Wuyue is fertile soil, which supports millions of people. It's not difficult either."

"Millions are still available. You think there are no fewer than one hundred thousand people like that in the world. Why should you worry about that?"

This is also half-truth and half-false, because the two masters don't exist at all.

However, the land of Wuyue is really sparsely populated now. In the future, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be a land of prosperity in the world. The counties, districts and rivers plus the Yangtze River Delta Plain can be developed now that there are iron tools.

Taihu Lake in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, with the Mohist's sufficient execution ability, coupled with the emergence of various new production tools, it is not difficult to create a fertile land.

Seeing that Shi was so happy, Grandson Gao was finally convinced that Shi was interested in benefiting the world, and was finally persuaded by Shi, bowed his head and said, "Your words make sense. It's me who can't understand Juzi's benevolence and righteousness like you do." Profound."

After paying back the gift, he sighed and said, "In the final analysis, the sooner the Mo family wins the world, the less suffering those people will suffer."

"That's why I want to make strong wine, Qilin, to refill the copper of righteous teachers; I want to acquiesce in the expulsion of the people in Song Dynasty, so as to increase the manpower in Peixian County; Take control."

"All of this is for the ultimate benefit of the world, and it is all for the ultimate love of the world. However, benevolence also has big benevolence and small benevolence."

"Why does the giant judge that Wang Zilu is just a small benevolence? The benevolence of the Mohist school is different from the benevolence of the Confucian scholars."

"If you want to accomplish this, you need to have the same meaning between the upper and lower levels. If the righteousness is different, the heart will be chaotic and the strength will be insufficient. Therefore, please support my righteousness in order to truly benefit and love the world."

"The Juzi asked you to come here, I think it is to make us both feel the same. This is the Juzi's expectation, and his expectation is also for the benefit of the world in the future."

After finishing speaking, Shi solemnly saluted Gao Sunzi, Gao Sunzi hurriedly supported Shi, squeezed Shi's arm vigorously, and said vigorously: "Your reasoning is right, I am more important than Xiaoren and neglect Daren. You have to Righteousness is the real righteousness of Juzi.”

There are some words, as long as this is the end, I feel relieved.

If there is no accident, Grandson Gao will definitely support him in September, so the "self-suffering" faction within the Mo family will be on his side and become an ally.

Adding in the people who Shi thought would support him, and Mo Zi's own attitude, Shi felt that the overall situation in September was settled.

Mozi didn't make a statement, but expanding the number of people in the discussion gathering and letting Gao grandson come to Tengdi is a kind of statement.
