warring states careerist

Chapter 391 Administration and Administration
Three days after that battle, the army was still stationed in the camp, and Shi Ye never went to see King Yi of Yue, but he was not humiliated, but there was absolutely no attitude towards princes and princes as in the etiquette system.

After defeating the Yue people that day, the cavalry followed and raided the Yue people's camp seven miles away from the battlefield, captured some Yue people stationed in the camp, and took back a large number of spoils brought by the nobles with the army.

These trophies must be registered, and private possession is strictly prohibited. Due to military discipline, no one dares to touch them, and there is no need for any warnings.

Among these trophies, there are many valuable items, but at this moment, the sword of King Yi of Yue is the most valuable.

The sword body is three feet long, and the two sides of the sword lattice are inlaid with glass, with the words "Yue Wang Yi uses his own sword" written on it.

The inlaid glass is blue, and it is Zhuxia's extremely expensive potassium-calcium glass. The craftsmen of Yue State have been able to burn potassium-calcium glass, but the quantity is very small, so it is kept secret.

The Goujian sword of the Yue Kingdom is also inlaid with glass. The sword used by Yue Wangyi is similar in style to the Goujian sword, and it is very beautiful. The potassium-calcium glass inlaid on the bronze sword makes this sword even more valuable.

Shi looked at the captured spoils, but didn't pay attention to the priceless sword captured by King Shuqing, but stared at a crystal vessel in a daze. At this time, the crystal was either called Shuiyu or Yuying.

Most Yue people use pearls and jade as their currency, and they are very fond of jade and crystal wares.

Several people in charge of registration saw Shi staring at a very smooth and transparent crystal vessel in a daze, and couldn't help being curious.

They know that people like this, or most of the top Mohists, seldom use jewels and jade as treasures, bury them lightly after death, and save money, and the theory of Mohism is the one that accumulates investment and development, and it is said that it follows the two When the master was studying, he had seen many amazing things, so he couldn't help but feel weird when he saw Shi staring at the crystal.

Playing with that exquisite crystal vessel, I couldn't help but think of the sky-defying cultural relic crystal cup unearthed in the land of Wuyue in later generations. After thinking for a while, I said to the person in charge of registration next to me: "Remember, come and hold this Go, I'll ask King Yi of Yue something."

The guard next to him went to pick up the crystal vessel, stepped forward and signed his name on the registration form, and then asked someone to inform him, calling for someone to accompany him to see Yue Wangyi.

At this time, Pei County has not given a decision, so it is not appropriate to negotiate with Yue Wangyi alone, because he must abide by the resolution of the Mohist high-level collective discussion as the bottom line before they can have an interview.

No one expected to capture Yue Wangyi before, and it was hard to say whether this battle could be turned into an annihilation battle, so there was no discussion before.

In the past few years, I have learned some elegant language and pronunciation from many mohists who were born in aristocratic backgrounds. I was afraid that King Yi of Yue would not be able to communicate well with me, so I called a Mohist who was born in Yue.

After a group of people entered the room where Yue Wangyi was imprisoned, the somewhat haggard Yue Wangyi stared at Shi and asked, "You are Shi? The commander of the Mohist volunteers in this battle?"

Shi nodded, and found that Yue Wang Yi was only haggard, and there was no such thing as a night of baldness.At this time of the war, apart from South Korea killing Zheng Bo, there were very few incidents of directly killing the opponent's monarch. King Yi of Yue was not worried that the Mo family would kill him, but was only worried about the domestic situation.

King Yi of Yue looked at Shi and snorted, "You are not born as the son of a shoemaker. The Mohist respects the virtuous and they say they are equal. You can be the commander-in-chief, which shows that the Mohist has no tradition and no etiquette. The noble is always noble, and the humble is always humble. You The Mohists want equality in the world? How is this possible?"

"In the old days when the people of Jin cast punishment tripods, Zhong Ni said: Husband, the state of Jin will keep the law that Tang Shuzhi received, and use the latitude and longitude of the people, and the officials will keep it in order, so that the people can respect it, and because it is valuable, it can keep its business. The noble and the humble are not wronged, the so-called degree. Wen Gong used it as an official in charge of rank, as the law of the hut, and regarded it as the leader of the alliance. Now it is abandoned as the degree, and it is the punishment tripod. The people are in the tripod, why is it honorable? Shou? High and low without order, what is a country?"

"You Mohists use ten thousand people to rule the law, and you say that no one is always noble, no one is always cheap, so that everyone in the world is a minister of heaven, let me ask you..."

"If people are equal, if there are laws and regulations, and there is no order for high and low, what is a country?"

"You Mohists keep saying that you want to benefit the world, but all you are doing is destroying the world, harming the world, and causing chaos in the world! There is no high or low, what is the world?"

"I saw a woman again in the camp, and the Mo family might not be able to do that thing of the rooster raising the morning."

He still wanted to say a few words, but found that Shi was staring at him with a look he had never seen before, as if looking at a fool.

Yigui is the king of Yue, and he grew up in a polite environment all his life, where has he seen such a look in his eyes?

Shi didn't even bother to pay attention to Yue Wangyi's nonsense here, holding up the crystal vessel and asking: "So you own this thing?"

The tone was blunt, without any respect for his bloodline.

King Yi of Yue took a look and saw that it was a jade vessel. He said with a smile, "You are not as far away as Mo Di. Back then, the former king hired Mo Di with a fief of five hundred miles, but Mo Di refused to accept it. There are also people who regard jade as treasure?"

Shi shook his head and said: "Jade has been buried in the ground for thousands of years, and no one has jade. Jade is just a stone. In the past, Bian He wept for jade in Jingshan Mountain. Later, King Wen of Chu sent a jade craftsman to dissect the raw material, so that he could get He Shibi. The Mohists do not regard pearls and jade as treasures." , but they regard the craftsman skills of cutting jade as treasures."

"I just want to ask, do Langya have these Yuying craftsmen? Where did this thing come from?"

What is most important is that the surface of this crystal vessel is extremely smooth. It has obviously been processed, but the traces of processing cannot be detected by the naked eye. It is smooth and transparent, and it looks like a piece of glass without bubbles and variegated colors.

He who can grind crystal must be able to grind glass.He can try firing glass, or use crystal directly, but the technology of grinding crystal is not something he can master.Glass, on the other hand, can be regarded as the mother tool of modern science, and it is also the most intuitive object to break the mystery of heaven and earth.

However, after listening to Shi's words, King Yi of Yue said with disdain on his face: "After the alliance in Xuzhou in the past, the emperor sent an envoy to make the former king Goujian the uncle of Yue. Yue is no longer a barbarian. When the Son of Heaven is still alive, Zhou etiquette is the rule. You are a commoner, and if you don’t worship the king, I don’t know how to talk to you.”

Shih smiled, knowing that Yue Wangyi was looking for trouble, or he was trying to test the attitude of the Mo family towards him.

He laughed a few times, and said: "I'm afraid that you, the king of Yue, will stop here. Your father Zhu Gou killed his father and came to power, and everyone in the world knows it. Now that you have been captured, the army of gentlemen has been wiped out by righteous teachers. Don't you Son, brother? Your son, brother, wouldn’t you use the reason of ‘exceeding the hope of the Mo family’?”

Yue Wangyi's expression changed, Shi's words were exactly what he was most worried about all along, and Shi's words were more "insidious" than he thought, and he used a reason of "without Mo's hope". He gave up the justifiable reason for his son and brothers to be in power.

At that time, it will be said that for the benefit of the Yue country, change the monarch and ask for too much in order to prevent the Mohists from threatening the life of the monarch. There is simply no better reason than this.

King Yi of Yue couldn't help asking: "What do you Mohists want?"

Shi spread his hands and said: "Zi Mozi said that all people in the world are ministers of the Emperor of Heaven, regardless of age, high or low, and all are equal. Therefore, I can make a deal with you as an equal. I ask you to answer, and then you can ask Me, I'll answer. What do you think?"

Sitting casually at the side, King Yi of Yue sighed, and said helplessly, "The jade and British wares belonged to the partridge's palace when the former king destroyed Tan."

Shi was convinced that he had heard the name of a bird, and his face showed doubts. An Mohist who followed beside him hurriedly explained: "That is the name of the last Tanzi."

Shiqi asked, "The name of the bird?"

The Mohist nodded and said, "The Kingdom of Tan is the successor of Shaohao. Shaohao's clan was made of phoenix birds, and when he became emperor, all official positions were named after birds. The descendants of his descendants will also be named after birds."

He didn't explain too much, in fact, there is an allusion involved.

Han Yu, a later generation, wrote "Shuo Shuo", which once said that saints have impermanent teachers.Confucius learned from Tan Zi, Chang Hong, Shi Xiang, and Lao Dan.

Tanzi was the king of the Tan Kingdom at that time, the Viscount, who was the successor of Shaohao.

At a banquet at that time, someone asked Tan Zi, why did your ancestor Shaohao make the names of the six officials all the names of birds?

This is like the evolution of Zhu Rong, who was originally an official position, and finally became Vulcan. It is a very complicated change.After the Xia and Shang Dynasties from ancient times, many cultures were gradually lost and evolved.

However, the state of Tan kept a part of the history of ancient times. Tanzi told him that in the past, the Yellow Emperor used clouds to record events, so his officials were all named after clouds; Yan Emperor used fire to record events, so his officials were all named after fire; The Gong family recorded events with water, and all his officials were named after water; the Taihao family recorded events with dragons, and all his officials were named after dragons.

At the time of the Yellow Emperor, the six divisions had already taken shape, but they were not in the names of households, officials, soldiers, rites, punishments, and workers, or Situ, Sima, and Sikou.The ministries are named after Huangyun, Heiyun, Qingyun, Baiyun, etc.

When it came to Shaohao, Shaohao respected the phoenix bird, and was also in the form of a tribal alliance, so he used the different bird emblems of each tribe as his official title.

For example, swallows, shrikes, pheasants, pigeons, etc., are actually the equivalent of Situ Sima and other official positions in Zhou Dynasty. The duties have not changed, but the names have changed.

The monarchs of all dynasties were also named after birds, and the partridge was the name of the last monarch when Tan State was destroyed by Yue.

At that time, the young Confucius heard about this and said with emotion: "The Son of Heaven lost his official position, and learned in Siyi", thinking that some knowledge can only be found in Siyi. ——These learnings were originally learned only by the official schools of the Son of Heaven, but Confucius was able to learn from the Siyi, even far better than the content monopolized by the official schools.

Tan is one of the nine countries that the Mohists want to use the name of "Rejuvenation" this time, and the Mohist explained a little, so he felt relieved.

It was only 30 or [-] years ago that the state of Tan was destroyed. Presumably, those craftsmen did not die, and some technologies were not lost.

He asked again: "Does Langya have these craftsmen who can carve jade figures?"

King Yi of Yue nodded his head and said, "It's hidden in the worker's office, it's not rumored outside."

I feel even happier in my heart, and I feel that I have to add one more item to the deal with King Yi of Yue. These craftsmen will be invaluable treasures in the future. Combined with the principles I know and the skills of these craftsmen, many things can be easily solved.

With artisans who have the skills to grind crystals and people who know what to do with grinding crystals, things that would have been "accidentally" discovered by thousands of years of evolution can appear earlier.

Seeing that Shi Shi's face showed joy, King Yue thought, "Does this person like Yuying?"

But what was on his mind, he didn't ask, but asked: "Since I answered your two questions, I also need to ask you two questions."

"How are you Mohist going to treat me? How will you treat my country of Yue?"

Shi said solemnly: "The law of the Mohist is that all important matters must be discussed through the consensus of the people. If there is consensus, then things can be done. Before this, I didn't know how I would treat you, nor how I would treat the Yue Kingdom. "

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, leaving only Yue Wang Yi who looked resentful and thought he was suitable for a "little man".
