Chapter 605 The Sun of Mount Tai ([-])
Shu Guitian grumbled, ran to the edge of the field, grabbed the horse's mane and jumped onto the horse's back.

With a raised face, he didn't go directly to the village, but rushed to the group of seven or eight people who were staring at him.

Those seven or eight people were carrying wooden sticks and ropes in their hands, and one of them was wearing leather armor, but Shu Guitian was not afraid, and rode his horse in front of these people, deliberately not slowing down, as if he was about to bump into the seven or eight people.

The people on the opposite side didn't know what Shu Guitian wanted to do, they only saw the horses rushing, so they quickly ran away in fright, not wanting that Shu Guitian's equestrian skills were good, but when he was about to approach those people, he suddenly turned around and swung the horse's hoof There was some dust, and he walked away with a laugh.

Near the village community, a few people were holding earthen pots under the tree. It seemed that the meal had already been prepared, but they didn't go there.

A person ran over from a distance, and everyone asked, "How is it?"

The man panted a few times and said, "I'm still watching from the edge of the field. I'm afraid it won't work. If the master sees this, he will be punished in the future."

A village farmer in his 30s in the crowd cursed after hearing this: "You people, the Mohists are here to allocate land for us. We are not in a hurry, but are afraid of it."

The rest of the people blushed slightly, and they knew it was reasonable, but they still couldn't help but said: "You are alone, your parents are dead, and you have no women or children. If you can't take it any longer, you can run away and go to Si It’s fine, but what shall we do?”

"Don't the Mo family want to benefit the world? Then they will benefit. After the benefits are over, shouldn't we be fine?"

The lonely farmer let out a hey and said: "It wasn't you who said yesterday, whoever can fight makes sense? How many people are there in the feudal lord? If we are all in the same heart, we will work together, what are you afraid of? He is alone. Can you kill hundreds of us?"

"If you really think this way, that's right. Aren't the nobles going to be expensive all the time? Didn't you say that yesterday, this world is for the benefit of everyone, everyone benefits everyone, everyone benefits everyone, if you really wait for others If you come to save me, then if you finish saving, you want to become a nobleman?"

An old man in the crowd waved his hand and said: "Truth is truth, but things are things. You are alone, so you can say anything, but we dare not. You are right, but you can't do it."

The man sneered and said, "You don't want to share the land when the time comes."

The old man said: "That's different. If you can share it, then you won't be afraid..."

The lonely farmer snorted and said, "I'll go by myself. It's nothing more than death. I'm not allowed here, so I'll follow Mo Zhe to serve in Sishang."

Everyone was embarrassed by such a remark, but the old man didn't blush, and said: "I've said it all, you don't have a family, so you can talk about it anyway. If I don't have a family, I might not dare. Who cares?" Don’t want to divide the land? But who knows if it’s true or not? Besides, what if you can’t win? What if the owner talks to the Mo family and others and gives them some property?”

The lonely farmer was only talking in anger before, but his anger was suppressed by the old man, and he shook his head and said: "Okay, don't talk about it, I will go."

After finishing speaking, he took a wooden root, threaded the ropes from those earthen jars on the wooden sticks, and hung them on his shoulders. Just as he was about to go, Shu Guitian also rushed over on horseback.

The lonely farmer looked back at those embarrassed neighbors, walked up to Shuguitian's horse first, and said, "It's the wrong time, it's a bit late, and it's about to be sent there."

He didn't say anything about everyone's thoughts, and he was secretly relieved, saying that this would save a lot of embarrassment. Fortunately, the opposite party was a child, so it was easy to fool him.

Shu Guitian laughed, and said in a fit of anger: "It's too late, I'll ride fast, just take it back with me."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and was about to pick it up, but the lonely farmer also heard the angry words and ridicule in the young man's mouth, grabbed the wooden stick with both hands and said: "You don't want to mention it, let me go together..."

While talking, there was another sound of horseshoes and wheels rattling on the road next to the village, and a carriage came from the left. It was the car of the fiefdom noble family.

The left side of the car was left empty. This is the etiquette for nobles to invite people to be guests. The village community is where Sun Pu and others live temporarily.

When the farmers at the head of the village saw the carriage, they all lowered their heads, or turned around and hid their heads behind them. Some of them waved their hands in embarrassment, indicating that they hadn't done anything.

Only the lonely farmer puffed out his chest, raised his face and swept past the galloping carriage, stared at the people in the carriage for a long time without bowing his head.

Shu Guitian turned his head and looked at this scene. After all, he was still a child, so he forgave the farmer in his heart, ignored the carriage, jumped off the horse and said, "Get on the horse and hold it at the back. I will ride in the front."

The farmer may have never ridden a horse in his life. He was a little flustered and a little excited, and he awkwardly climbed up according to Shu Guitian's instructions. His nervous legs seemed to have fallen lead. The leather belt of a commoner living in the land, this is peace of mind.

…………

In the village commune, the carriage stopped at Sun Pu's residence in the village commune for a while, and then left soon.

False left when you come, and false left when you go back.

In the courtyard, Sun Pu collected some accounts, and an ink man next to him said, "This old nobleman invites you to come over, why don't you go? I remember that Shi Shuai invited those local nobles to talk about it when he was in Zhandi. The so-called Let’s talk about the truth first and then discuss the law of the general will..."

Sun Pu knew about that incident. After the Battle of Lushui and before the land reform in Zhuangdi, Shizhen really entertained some local nobles. He made the ceremony first and then the soldiers. He made sense and gave conditions. The people bought it with redemption.

At that time, many nobles did "voluntarily" hand over their fiefs, but Sun Pu knew that it was because of the situation where the Yue Kingdom had been defeated and the Yue King was captured, and the tens of thousands of Mohist troops were nearby.

Today the old nobleman wanted to invite him to a banquet as a scholar, but Sun Pu flatly refused.

Hearing what the Mohist next to him said, he said, "You're just begging for a sword."

"We have just arrived here, and there are not enough people. The school guide said that we should pay more attention to management, and the score is second. Let the people know the way of nature, know the will of heaven, and know that the land should belong to them."

"Zengdi, if it doesn't make sense today, you can talk about it tomorrow. But it doesn't work here, time is not waiting for me, the sooner the better."

"The people are watching. If I go to eat this meal, I will be reasonable. What do the people think? What do you think? Will the people think that we are the same as them? Can this truth continue? This trust can still Keep?"

The Mohist thought for a moment, nodded and said: "That's the truth, I was wrong. So, how about this matter?"

Sun Pu said: "Just tell the people in the village community that Taoism is not the same as food. Let the people in the village believe that we are different from those nobles. The nobles scattered across the country can be friends, but we can't be friends with them." The reason why those aristocrats in the land can become rich in the land is because they are no longer nobles."

The man turned to leave, but Sun Pu said again, "Wait."

"After talking about this matter, I drove the carriage to the manor of the old nobleman with great fanfare, and told the people about the confiscated money, and told me about the events of that day. After getting the money, I also told the people."

The man understood and took the order to go.

…………

In the old nobleman's house, the atmosphere in the past few days has been a bit strange.

He lost face in the city a few days ago, and when he came back, the retainer was severely punished, and some private soldiers were also panicked.

To be reasonable, they can be regarded as having seen the world with their master, and heard many stories, but nothing like this has ever happened in the world.

This place originally belonged to Lu, and when Qi and Lu fought armies, it would be no problem for soldiers to meet each other on the battlefield, but once the battle was over, the nobles were still friends, and the fiefdom belonged to Qi, so they changed their lords.

After the Xiangzi Niu Rebellion ended, some people came by car to persuade the master to continue to be an official, and the fief did not move.

Looking at ancient and modern times, where is the situation like today?
The uneasy atmosphere in the family can be felt even by the most humble Yunu. The Yunu who raises cattle and horses is an old man, and he can be regarded as an old slave in the family. His ancestors were cattle and horses in noble families.

He eats and lives in the stables, is loyal, has never lived without a master, and never dares to think about a life without a master.

Hearing about some family affairs these few days, Yu Nu secretly cursed those members of the Mo family for making the master not in a good mood these few days.

After thinking about it, if the master lost the land, he couldn't raise so many horses. How could he live like this without his master?
In fact, from a month ago, Yu Nu felt that something was wrong.

In the past, when the owner met him occasionally, he would habitually ask, "What dream did you have recently?"

But since a month ago, I met several times in a row, but I never asked.

Once he just said something, the master shouted: "Shut up."

Only then did he know that his master was in a bad mood, and he felt infinitely wronged, and turned the wrongedness into resentment, thinking that if it wasn't for the Mohist's messing around, why would it be like this?I was scolded because of the Mohist's nonsense.

The habit of talking about dreams has lasted for a long time. It turned out to be an accident. The old man had a very interesting dream, so he told the servants at home, and somehow it reached the ears of the master. After listening to it, he praised him and rewarded him with half a jar of sour wine. The old man drank it happily, and saw his master laughing at what he said, and he felt happy.

Nowadays, there are no novels and legends, and the day when the village community is closed to the fields remains unchanged. This old nobleman is also an old gentleman and a man of etiquette.

The life that has not changed for hundreds of years, except for hunting, has no fun at all. Occasionally hearing a strange dream is indeed a very good spiritual pastime.

The unchanging life, the conservative and stubborn years, only dreams can be different.

Perhaps it was the half-jar of sour wine, or perhaps it was the master's laughter. Since then, the old slave has more and more "dreams" of this dream.

In addition to raising and feeding horses every day, I just dreamed hard.

Sometimes after finishing speaking, the master would smile and scold with a pleasant face: "Old man, you had this dream a few days ago."

Yu Nu would swear and swear: "Master, what I said is true, I did it again, really..."

At this time, the old nobleman also laughed, and sometimes rewarded him with a piece of meat. After a long time, Yu Nu felt that he was actually taller than those servants, and his waist straightened in front of everyone.

Last month, I finally "did" another dream that I hadn't dreamed about before. As soon as I opened my mouth, I was whipped by the master angrily. Later, I found out that it was the Mo family who messed up the master's mood. All the resentment is on the Mo family.

I thought, if it wasn't for the Mo family, how could the master be in a bad mood?How can I bear that whip?

Today he had to pack up the carriage again, saying that he was going to entertain the Mohist taxis, and when the old Yu Nu was packing up the carriage, he scolded, "What kind of dog-like thing even sent a cart to meet them?"

When the car came back empty, Yu Nu said again: "I really think I am something, please don't come, if I say it, I will kill them..."

These words just provoked the vassals who were also in a panic, what is the status of the vassals?Picking up the horsewhip with his backhand, he lashed at Yu Nu several times and cursed: "Stuff your mouth with horse dung, get out! What are you, you should talk about family affairs?"

If this can kill them, why wait until now?The [-] troops are all wiped out, who kills whom?

Yu Nu looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to resist. After being whipped solidly for a few times, he picked up horse manure and stuffed it in his mouth as a punishment for his slip of the tongue.
