Chapter 608 The Sun of Mount Tai ([-])
When Sun Pu finally persuaded the local Mohists to accept his idea and returned, he found that the people in the room were waiting for him with their heads bowed in embarrassment.

That hesitant look is very obvious.

"Folks, what's the matter?"

The word folks already existed at this time, including the four-character word for fathers, old folks, which is commonly used in the Mohist school, so Sun Pu naturally used this word that is not very commonly used in Qi.

The man was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a long time, then Sun Pu smiled and said, "Speak up if you have anything to say, but our living here will delay your husband and wife?"

This joke was a bit rough, but it also opened up the dignified atmosphere.

The man smiled, with a bit of embarrassment, and shyly said: "Well... can you not live here anymore? The family members are a little scared."

After finishing speaking, the man hurriedly waved his hands again and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of you... it's that I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Pu nodded and said, "I understand. You are afraid because you also know who killed the black buttocks. Those who kill people will die, and those who hurt others will be punished. There must be someone in this matter." confessed."

The man hurriedly said again: "I'm really sorry, I can't help it."

Sun Pu smiled and said, "It's all right."

He is not in a hurry, he knows that the breakthrough point of the matter here lies in the destruction of the Linzi Legion.As long as the Linzi Army is still alive, as long as the soldiers of Father Liang are not captured and released, things will be difficult here.

There is always time for the people to wake up, trust, and convince them, and then muster up the courage to achieve the real goal of this alignment battle in Qidi with the ambition of wanting a better life and dividing the land of the emperor.

He didn't say anything more. Before leaving, he gave the family a few more catties of fried wheat flour and said, "Let's leave these for the children. It's time to grow up. Remember what we said, it's best to put water Boil it and drink it."

The man took the wheat flour, his face turned even redder, and he wanted to say several times that you should stay, but in the end he still lowered his head helplessly amidst his wife's cough.

The departure of Sun Pu and others was not alone. The Mohists living in the entire village chose to leave.

When Shu Guitian was leaving, he gave the child who gave him snake meat a small lead soldier. It was a toy commonly seen on Sishang, and it was easy to cast.Some people who have muskets at home have a lot of them, and they can melt lead bullets in the stove fire by themselves when necessary.

Where has the child seen such a toy, and he couldn't put it down.

Shu Guitian thought: "If you drive us away, then I will treat you well, and I will make you feel ashamed to death. What's wrong with this? You are here to help you, but you are like this..."

It was difficult to say what he was muttering in his heart, knowing that if he said it, he would be reprimanded by Sun Pu again and made some sense.

Holding the words in their hearts, a group of people built a few simple mud houses in the village community with the help of volunteer teachers. They are all people who often do this kind of thing, but they are easy to build.

Although they moved out of the farmer's house, they are still very close to chatting on weekdays, and they often walk around.

This time the Mohists left without any complaints. On the contrary, the people felt a little embarrassed, and they had a deeper understanding of the Mohism, and they believed that they were a group of good people who would not harm others.

A few days and a half months passed in a flash, there was no wind or rain, and the weather was just right.

Not much happened outside, Qi State's Linzi Legion was still huddled in the south of Wenshui, and the people here in the village were used to this kind of peaceful life.

The survey work of Shu Guitian and others has also been completed, the land survey of more than ten wells has been completed, and the things learned have also been familiarized with practice. Many people have been transferred to Father Liang, and the land division work there has been completed by one-third one.

The Mohists in the village community became more and more familiar with the people in the village community, and they talked more and more truths, which became more and more frightening and profound, but the people also understood more and more.

Every night, Sun Pu would record every bit of what happened here on paper, summarizing how to deal with various situations and the reactions of the people.

In nearly a month, the situation here has been basically figured out, and the public's approval has been basically achieved, so Sun Pu no longer wants to wait any longer.

First, a few Mohists went to the old nobleman and invited the old nobleman to "discuss" the division of land with the old nobleman.But this invitation was a semi-forced one, with a commanding tone. If he didn't come, the land distribution would still go on and it wouldn't be affected.

Then, as he did in Shangqiu Xingyi back then, he called together those familiar people, people from nearby villages, and gangsters on the land, and agreed to discuss the matter of land distribution together on a certain day.

Regarding this matter, the Mohists in the work team also have different opinions. They think that it is not yet the time to "strike while the iron is hot".

There are a lot of iron wares in Sishang, and the word "strike while the iron is hot" is often used. If there is no iron, the word "strike while the iron is hot" is not used, because bronze and the like can only be cast but are difficult to forge. The improvement of Sishang's productivity and the popularization of ironware are a manifestation of language.

This is a very normal doubt, and it is indeed not the time to strike while the iron is hot.

Faced with such doubts, Sun Pu replied: "Of course, this is not the time to strike while the iron is hot. However, to strike while the iron is hot, you need to prepare an anvil, hammer, iron block, oil for oil, and water for water... ...It doesn't mean that you can hit it directly when the fire is red."

What is the time when the fire is burning red?
Naturally, it was the day when Qi's Linzi Legion was completely destroyed, but if we start preparations at that time, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Because according to what Sun Pu knew, the time of the Mo family was very tight, and they would withdraw to Sishang before the Linzi Army was destroyed and the battle between Wei, Zhao, Chu and Zhongshan subsided.

At this time, the conditions may not be complete, the people may still sit on the fence, and the people may still worry about the future.

But it doesn't matter, if you don't do this well today, you can do it tomorrow, and if you don't do it well tomorrow, you can wait until the day after tomorrow, as long as it is done before the withdrawal of troops.

The public may panic, fear, or even hide from the scene, but Sun Pu knows that all these emotions and reactions are not the "opposition" that the Mohists are most worried about.

Fear is not opposition, avoidance is not opposition, and even deliberate alienation is not opposition, but only worry after approval.

Being recognized and supported is the most difficult thing, but fear and panic are easy to solve for the Mohists - killing the Linzi Legion and judging Prince Wu and Tian Qing will completely trample the fear that has been ingrained for hundreds of years. underfoot.

It would be meaningless to directly divide the land after the Linzi Legion was destroyed, because the Mohists would not be able to stay here in the short term.

Three days after this decision was made, people from dozens of miles away gathered here with various thoughts.

They may not understand the truth that unity is strength, but they instinctively chose to try to participate in this gathering that was clearly aimed at dividing land.The idea is actually a bit cunning: since everyone is here, just listen to what the Mo family said, it shouldn't make the lord angry.

It's just that they didn't know that the Mo family also invited the owner of this land and the nobles on this land to participate.

When the crowd gathered and the nobles' chariots and horses were late, many people quietly wanted to hide behind the crowd, or lowered their heads.

Seeing this situation, several Mohists couldn't help shaking their heads.

Sun Pu sighed, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, habits are hard to change. It is too difficult to change the traditions of hundreds of years and thousands of years. It is because the people are not so at ease in their hearts, so they are so evasive. If they feel at ease that the land belongs to Nobles, princes, and even the emperor are unreasonable, how can they dodge?"

It's like when a person asks for a debt, he throws out some favors and always acts as a matter of course, because people think that debt repayment is justified, but they have not yet accepted that the land belongs to the world.

Some people may think that it is the land of nobles, and it is not good to take it away from others.Most of these people are very good people, but they are also the so-called "thieves of the country's wish virtue".

There are also people who think that what the Mohists say is actually reasonable—of course, the reason is secondary, but the benefits are real, and they hope to get their own land.

Perhaps only a few people have really participated in this land distribution with peace of mind, and how to make the majority of people feel at ease is the purpose of this land distribution in the south of Jishui, which is also the so-called "reasonable but not insignificant". Minute".

Inviting the nobles this time is actually to criticize. Regardless of whether they agree or not, this attempt to divide the land will continue.

So when people gathered together, many Mohists who were good at publicity began to explain the truth in public, and after explaining clearly the truth that the division of land is in line with the will of heaven, the old noble who had been silent but was already extremely angry finally shouted He stood up with a sound.

Several Mohists who maintained order hurriedly pressed their hands on their swords. The old nobleman saw the Mohist swordsmanship in Father Liang, and drew his sword out of anger, but with a look of extreme pain and grief on his face Extreme look.

He stood up suddenly, with both hands, he untied his belt and took off his shirt with force, exposing a majestic and scarred body in front of everyone.

There was a flicker of grief and indignation in the eyes of the old nobleman, and he said angrily: "Since I was crowned, I have fought 27 times, big and small! I rushed to kill in a car, and personally witnessed Shishi, with [-] scars."

"In the first battle against Lu, Wu Qi led the army, Qi was unable to win, the banners fell, and everyone abandoned their armor and dragged their troops away. I set up my chariot to fight, scattered the Lu army, and got seven arrows in my body!"

"I was on the verge of death several times, and the Lord and Lord rewarded me with land. These lands were fought desperately by me and my ancestors!"

"What about you? What have you done? You are just a group of disciples, invincible and retreating faster than anyone else, but now you want the land that I and my ancestors paid for with blood?"

"I was on the verge of death eight times, and made great achievements. What did you do? Now you want the land that the king rewarded me? Isn't this ridiculous?"
