warring states careerist

Chapter 367
King Shuqing talked about the truths he thought of, and recalled the situation when he first met him several years ago. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and the young man has grown a beard now, and his figure must be much stronger than before. .

The only difference is that the short brown body from many years ago has been replaced by the current military uniform.

They are all made of cotton, dyed indigo, with a short brown shape, a pair of trousers on the lower body, and a military uniform hat on the head.

A new iron sword hangs from his waist, and a copper hand gun hangs next to him.

After King Shuqing finished speaking, he praised a few words and said: "I will be close to Ni City in the future, so I don't need to say more about those rules."

"Remember, if you want to benefit yourself, you must benefit the world. Otherwise, the princes and nobles in the world will not recognize our rules, then we will always be a minority. Therefore, the people in this world are our own people, and they will stand with us in the future. together."

"If you talk about it, if our rules are recognized by the whole world now, don't you think we won't be able to fight? Even if we fight with someone, we will dispatch an army of [-] to [-], and nine states are thousands of miles away. Hundreds of people need to be recruited. Are you right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and King Shuqing took the lead and sang some military songs that were not Fu Bixing in the Book of Songs.

The lyrics are catchy and easy to understand, and the common people can understand them.

He opened his mouth and sang first, and the people in the company sang along... This is a military song by the righteous division. When singing, King Shuqing occasionally raised his eyes and found a strange smile on Shi's face.

"The first thing to say is to be reconciled. Respect the people and don't be arrogant. The people in the world are one family. Universal love starts with respect."

"Secondly, if the borrowed item is damaged, the compensation will not be less than half of the price. The common people know that the family business is hard, so don't do to others what you don't want."

"The third is to love the crops of the common people. I pay attention to everywhere in the march and battle. I plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn. If I step on mine, I will scold my mother..."

After singing the Eight Points of Attention, King Shuqing smiled and thought that these rules are easy to understand and follow.

It's just that the reason is also clear. After taking off the military uniform, you can do what you want to do, but you must abide by such rules when you put on the military uniform, and the management is extremely strict.

Behind these military songs are the almost "strict" military regulations of the righteous division in the world at this time. Many items must not be violated. An old scholar like Shuai has enough qualifications, but he is also afraid of the grandson of the inspection department, he is a ruthless person.

After talking about some military regulations, I was about to leave. Before leaving, I said to the king, "Military regulations must be explained clearly. You understand the truth. They are all common people. How can we make the people of the world become supporters?" Our friends of law and reason? We must start with these things."

"Nicheng is the first city that many people have breached. You, the company representative, and the soldiers' committee must do well, and there must be no problems."

"Speaking of it in a small way, you will be punished or beheaded. In a big way, it is related to whether the Surabaya Non-offensive Alliance can be formed in the future, and it is also related to whether Pei County will have to bear such a heavy military service in the future... "

King Shuqing felt his shoulders sink, because he was afraid of him, he nodded and said, "I will definitely do it well."

Seeing Shichong, he smiled, and then left with Liuzhi and others. King Shuqing talked to everyone again, and after some reasoning, he let everyone go to sleep first, and checked the company's night watch by himself. Such things, then go to bed.

Four days later, Ni Cheng.

King Shuqing was standing at the gate of the treasury, guarding there, this battle was simply boring, his company fired a total of two rounds of guns.

After the engineers skillfully dug a hole close to the city wall, they shouted upwards, saying that all the defenders of the city should evacuate.

The matter of Tengdi was not a big deal in the world last year, but Nicheng is only less than a hundred miles away from Tengcheng, and the affairs there are very clear here, and the Mohists often have activities here.

The news that Tengcheng was blown up is known to all the people in Nicheng. Although Ni Zi, the son of the supervisor, wanted to resist, but when he saw the digging below, he sent a wave of soldiers to charge, and the round of muskets broke up. go out.

The tunnel was approaching, and as soon as he shouted, the people of Ni City withdrew one after another. This time, no gunpowder was used, and the tunnel supported by wood lost the wood, and a piece of the city wall collapsed.

The gunpowder still needs to be saved to attack other cities. In this era of underdeveloped information communication, cities in the distance cannot be attacked so easily.

After entering the city, the seventh brigade was arranged to go to the treasury to receive the treasury of Ni State, and King Shuqing's company was arranged to garrison near the grain depot.

The brigade of the most elite Mohists is responsible for maintaining order in the city, and the members of the Xuanyi Department accompanying the army are organizing the people to appease the hearts of the people and preaching the morality of the Mohism.

For the nobles in the city, don't move for the time being.

It's just that the treasury was sealed up, the public and nobles were gathered in the palace, and two companies were responsible for "protection".

It is strictly forbidden for righteous teachers to disturb the people. This place is too close to Tengcheng, and the people in the city know the Mohist very well and are not afraid.

In addition, it was true that Qiu was innocent as rumored, and it really surprised the people of Nidi. After the Propaganda Department started its propaganda, it quickly organized a large number of people.

Shuqing Wang and others did not enter the residence at night, even if the village elders in the city asked for the volunteer teacher to stay at home, they did not agree.

On the second day, all the goods in the treasury had been counted, King Shuqing saw that Shi brought many villagers and people from Ni land to the treasury, explained the accounts of the treasury, and asked everyone to press their fingerprints The meaning master did not plunder, and everyone called it good governance.

In the afternoon, a company came to change defenses, and after the handover, Sixth appointed someone to ask King Shuqing to go there.

After arriving, there were still several company chief officers there. After sitting down, he said with six fingers: "There was a meeting just now, and a decision has been made."

"We bought a batch of grain from the government treasury. Since this is a public treasury, it is also a tax paid by the people, so the money will be distributed to the people."

"In addition, Mr. Ni does not practice benevolence and righteousness. There are many poor and helpless people in the city who cannot get help. Therefore, we must help Mr. Ni implement good governance. We will distribute a batch of food to those poor and helpless people."

"Besides, in view of the fact that Yue State may use Ni State's grain to launch an unjust war, it has been decided to distribute the remaining grain in the treasury to each household."

"In addition, doesn't each company have to carry two hundred catties of salt? Since we use our banknotes to buy food, the people in Ni must think that the banknotes can really buy things, so our brigade has to take out a thousand catties of salt , and the iron utensils you carry, gather together and organize a sale, so that the people of Nidi can recognize our currency."

King Shuqing scratched his head and said, "In this way, isn't our money returned to us? Isn't this the same as exchanging salt and iron for food?"

Liuzhi smiled and said: "How can it be the same? We left this time, and when we come back next time, the common people will recognize our money. As for the matter of giving food to the enemy, we need to find out who the enemy is. The king of Yue is not one of these small countries."

"Besides, let's go around and spend money to buy some food when we leave. We will do this in the future. We brought a lot of money, but it's not copper coins. If we don't do this, we won't be able to buy anything."

"Look at the long term."

"Besides this matter, you musket companies will help distribute food tomorrow, and leave some of your staff to take care of the ordnance."

After the tasks of each company were assigned, one day later, the volunteer teacher first read out a series of policies, and then distributed the money purchased from the treasury to each family in the city.

I didn't buy much in total, mainly based on the limit of each company's carrying and food for the past few days, and the Mo family did not lack this kind of food.

King Shuqing led people to distribute part of the food to the poor and helpless in the city in the name of "practicing benevolence and righteousness".

In the end, in order to prevent the Yue State from using the grain in the Ni State treasury, in addition to leaving the necessary tax grain for the palace, the remaining public land grain was distributed to the people in the city.

King Shuqing saw that many people had received the money from the Mohist family, he was a little distrustful, he tried to buy salt in the market organized by the volunteers, or bought ironware with the joint efforts of several families, and finally recognized the Mohist currency, everyone for joy.

The Ministry of Propaganda and Yi took the opportunity to publicize its bright vision for the future, and said that money can buy anything. Everyone was skeptical at the beginning, but at night it was already spreading praises from every household.

Originally, the matter of distributing food to the people was to cheat the country.If you really want to fight Teng, a vassal state like Ni will definitely send troops and food. This will directly abolish the possibility of Yue State relying on the vassal state to provide part of the food.

The State of Yue can force the expropriation from the people, but it is one thing to use the treasury, but it is another thing to take it back from the people, even though it is the same batch of grain.

The righteous teacher stayed in Ni City for a few more days, and asked Ni Ren to get some cars to chase after Ni Zi, told him about the fall of the capital, and informed Fei, Zou and other small countries participating in the alliance.

After tossing around for a few days, King Shuqing was surprised to find that the banknotes carried by the righteous teacher could be used to buy things in Nicheng.

Of course, there are no more commodities here than in Pei County, and you can hardly buy oil, meat and fish, but the food distributed by each family can really be bought directly with banknotes.

A seemingly useless toss a few days ago made the people recognize the righteous teacher and the strange currency of the Mohist family. After all, you can really buy ironware and salt. The first batch of food you bought was not much. The sum of money can only buy a thousand catties of salt, which is only the amount carried by several companies. The first batch of currency has not been overissued at all, and the degree of recognition is extremely high.

Second, some people are really convinced that the Mohists will win the final victory, so they sincerely want to live a life that sounds extremely good, so they are naturally willing to sell some of the food they get.

The third is that some nobles also have some transactions with the Mohists. They know that many things in Pei County are huge profits, and they really couldn't buy them in the past.The price of grain in Peixian County is too low, and you will pay for it if you transport it from here. The Mo family only accepts copper and gold, and they don’t even recognize pearls and jade. too little.

King Shuqing thought about it for a while, and thought that the people above still had means... The Mohist family did not lack food, but what they lacked was food for marching outside. After such a toss, they could not only get food, but also make it impossible for the Vietnamese army to come. It is easy to get food support from various countries, and at the same time, it can be recognized by the people, and it can also promote the benevolence and righteousness of the Mohist school. Once the decisive battle with the Yue state is won in the future, the money of the Mohist family can go out of the rattan state and enter the Ni state.

He thought, sure enough, those who do not plan forever are not enough to seek a moment. The higher-ups have always considered doing things from the perspective of certain victory in the future. Those seemingly meaningless tossings are actually a kind of determination to win and a heart The grandeur of the world.

Seeing that they have been stationed for a few days, the surrounding countries must have known that the Mohists have broken through the Ni country, but they don't know where to go next?The king of Yue also needs to know that the Mohists will attack first if he wants to come. I wonder if he will send people to pursue him?
