warring states careerist

Chapter 673 Cloud Spring ([-])
In a moment of embarrassment, Hu Feizi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, everyone's righteousness may be different, but no matter what the righteousness is, if you can not betray your own righteousness for the sake of fifty miles, this is a hero."

"The concubine Mi is not allowed to receive the land today, but tomorrow the prince may receive many heroes with the same righteousness as you. This is something to be happy about."

Zhao Hou's complexion was even uglier.

A righteous man with the same righteousness as me?
What is my righteousness?

According to you, my righteousness is to steal other people's property to reward others, so what kind of righteous man can I get?
Where did he not know that there was something in Hu Feizi's words?
But at this time, it is not possible to directly turn against the Mo family, and it is not suitable to break up on bad terms. Instead, people in the world will laugh at Zhao Houzhang for relying on other people's efforts to get the position but neglecting others.

Fortunately, after Hu Feizi satirized, he brought up topics such as "integrity" and "the wealth of the monarch is the wealth of the whole country of Zhao".

Taking advantage of the donkey, Zhao Chen, who was also present at Zhao Hou, was unwilling to touch the bad luck again, let alone ruin today's banquet.

Zhao Houzhang said in his heart: "This man has been bewitched by the Mohists, and there is no cure."

"It's also possible that the rules of the Mo family are strict. With Hu Feizi and others present, he might not dare to accept the fiefdom. Unfortunately, it seems that the rules of the Mo family still outweigh the greed in his heart."

"It's nothing more than a gangster. I really think of myself as a scholar and gentleman? It's also ridiculous."

The concubine Mi didn't think about the questions that Zhao Houzhang was pondering at all. He thought very simply, and even said it clearly just now.

The land belongs to the people of the world, why do you reward me with what you don't have?I gave the girl a copper hairpin, and I bought it with my military service money. If you want to serve in the military, I think you have to grab money from others to buy it and then give it away.

He may have felt that he had missed an opportunity to step into the upper circles of the aristocracy.

But in my heart, I feel that what Zhao Hou said is really unreasonable, and there are too many unreasonable things.

I must have meritorious deeds, chasing Young Master Chao and driving him to death.

But how many merits are there?
If it weren't for the previous fighting and confrontation, how could he have the opportunity to attack the flanks?
If those martial knights hadn't broken up the young master's flank and collapsed the rebel army, how could he have a chance to pursue him?

If it weren't for my partners fighting desperately, how could I have a chance to win the pursuit?

So he felt that the rewards he received were very reasonable: the internal announcement of the Mo family said that he was good at seizing the opportunity, understanding the intentions of the superiors, and exerting his subjective initiative, so the entire company was awarded the Bronze Medal, and he and a few others received a Bronze Medal .

By the way, he has the opportunity to go back to Sishang next year to study in the military academy. If he finishes his studies, he should be transformed from a soldier to a school. In his opinion, this is already very reasonable.

Besides, he felt that if he took over Zhao Hou's fiefdom, his father would have to give him a big slap in the face, and his father would not think about it as a very good thing.

In addition, he was really disgusted with these nobles, which may be what Zhao Hou thought was right, he was indeed bewitched by the Mohists, and his understanding of righteousness and profit and these nobles really couldn't pee in the same pot.

Qu Jiang, who was standing above him not far away, smiled secretly, nodded at the concubine, and raised the wine bottle as if to praise.

He thought to himself: "When we go back to Sishang next year, this kid will go back together. This kid is not bad. Hu Feizi also has a good impression of him, he has a very smart mind, and he is a seedling who leads soldiers."

"I just don't know whether to let him be a staff officer for a few years after he finishes his studies? Or will he be sent back to the Northland? At that time, I still have to suggest that he go to Liuzhi to be a staff officer for a while, and then let him go back to the Northland. Even if there is a lack of manpower at that time."

Qu will understand that he will return to Sishang next year, which is a normal transfer and can be regarded as a transfer within the rules. He has been in Zhaodi for too long. Even if he proves that he can host a party, he still has to go back to Sishang to study for a while. Only after time.

He guessed the same as Hu Feizi. Once the Mo family stabilized Yunzhong and other places here, the situation in Zhaodi would also be very important to the Mo family. At that time, Meng Sheng would probably be sent here.

Speaking of which, there are actually many people who can fight on the Mohist side, but few have the experience of commanding the overall situation as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief. Tens of thousands of people are still fighting.

After reading some battle reports, General Qu felt that Liuzhi was the "Left Army Commander" during the Battle of Nanjishui. Together with himself, Gong Zaoye, Meng Sheng, and Shi, these few people can now preside over a party. military situation.

Shi has been selected as a giant, and it is impossible to leave.

Gong Zaoye is old and already well-known all over the world. If he comes to Zhao Di, he will definitely be able to calm these people down, but the operation of Zhao Di will take a long time, and the issue of age must be considered.

Although Liuzhi showed his ability after several battles and the Nanjishui battle, it was not enough to preside over Zhao's situation.

After careful calculation, Meng Sheng is the most suitable.

Hu Feizi came to Zhao this time, it should be to partner with Meng Sheng in the future, familiarize himself with the situation in advance, he will leave when the rotation happens, Hu Feizi also understands the situation in Zhao, and Meng Sheng will arrange again after he arrives.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think about the situation in Zhao State again, and thought: "Just now Zhao Zhang wanted to confiscate land to the concubine Mie, so he was unwilling. This matter of Jiuyuan in the cloud is really not easy."

"I remember Shupu Mi's sister is also in the surveying and mapping team. She should be in the cloud now, right? Gentleman? Heh... Shi will be able to name her, and the two of them should meet after a while."

He glanced at Shu Pu Mi with a smile, and encouraged him with a smile of a senior caring for his juniors, but saw Shu Pu Mi kneeling there and raising his hands, in a standard Sishang posture.

Qu Jiang almost spit out the wine in his mouth, and said with a smile in his heart: "When we have something to say in the internal meeting of our Mohist family, raise your hand. Who can understand when you raise your hand here?"

After a while, I heard the concubine Mie couldn't help saying: "I'm going to the toilet, how can I get there?"

No one laughed at him, and an eunuch beside him showed his usual expression and led him out.

As he was seated at the head, Zhao Hou's face changed slightly, and he thought: "Is this innocence and ignorance of etiquette? Or did the Mo family deliberately arrange to humiliate me?"

…………

North of the Yellow River, in the clouds.

The sky is green and the fields are vast.

The autumn grass is turning yellow.

The Torto Grassland of later generations is now warmer, but no matter how warm it is, the grass will turn yellow in this season.

The simple Yunzhong City built five years ago and used as a border fort stands under the Yin Mountain. It is neither tall nor wide, and has only 5000 people.

Outside the city are stretches of bell wheat, corn, buckwheat and potatoes that are about to be harvested, and in the distance is an endless flat grassland.

A group of people are busy baling hay, harvested at the richest time of summer and now dried.

When the city was just built five years ago, several Mohists came here.

It not only brought a variety of crops suitable for farming here, but also brought many new technologies.

For example, a scythe with a long handle and about two feet long is specially used for mowing grass.

For example, a new sheep pen for overwintering and a heated kang in the house.

For example, the method of digging pits to ferment grass and straw.

And some organizational forms of cooperative planting, horse raising and cattle raising borrowed the name of Shiwu but are actually cooperatives, so that everyone can work together to resist possible famine risks.

Those few people who are busy tying hay are members of the mutual aid society here.

"Yo, are you back?"

A few people greeted a group of people in the distance, and the group of people were all riding horses, and they replied politely in the local language.

Except for a girl sitting sideways on a horse and reading a piece of paper in her hand.

The girl was wearing a very large cotton padded jacket, which was filled with cotton that had been grown on a large scale in Sishang. Of course, it was also the favorite type of clothing for more and more serfs who had fled to the North.

The girl's hair was very long, but she tied her hair into a long braid like a barbarian, probably for the convenience of movement. The braid swayed slightly with the swaying of the horse's back.

"Young gentleman, I didn't lie to you, did I? Your brother really reported it."

A man riding a horse next to him spoke with a flattering smile, and the people behind turned their heads disdainfully. Many people said, "You are lucky, you actually got the newspaper for her to read first."

This group of people came from Sishang, or from Gaoliu, there were only four or five girls in the team, most of them were doctors, and the only one who went around all day was a gentleman.

More men than women is a problem.

What I saw all around were some barbarian shepherdesses, or women who were farming in the city, and the comparison was even more problematic.

Maybe she was not born beautiful. Although she washed her face and clothes as clean as possible every day, she was far inferior to the dancers in Handan and other places or those women who leaned on the door to sell their laughter.

There are prostitutes in Yunzhong City. Guan Zhong’s reform in Qi State was to organize military prostitutes and official prostitutes in order to enrich the treasury and stabilize the morale of the army. The prostitute industry has actually appeared along with the emergence of private ownership, especially... the productivity is even higher A farming area that was progressive and stable, and that gave rise to the concept of family ownership and fidelity.

A few of the group would also secretly go to prostitutes to release their desires, and would also choose the right time to meet with others, but every time they saw the gentlemen who were traveling together, they always felt itchy.

Physical desires are physical desires, spiritual needs are spiritual needs, it is really hard to confuse them.

The group really likes the girls in Sishang, especially the girls who have gone to school, even if they only go to elementary school, but there are really too few of them here.

The concubine is a different kind, not much different in Sishang, but in the desolate cloud, it shines strangely, changing from a star to a moon.

Of course, in the eyes of the surveying and mapping team.

But in the eyes of those herdsmen, this is really a strange woman, a little afraid of the paper and pen in her hand and the magical copper cylinder that can see far away, as if some gods are pulling the distant things closer, but But don't think about liking it.

The gentleman on the horse raised his head, thanked him with a smile, then lowered his head and read it in his heart: "The commander of the first company of the Gaoliubu Knights, the commander of the first company, Shupumi, seized the opportunity to pursue Zhao Chao..."

Carefully put away the piece of paper, and returned it to the person, thinking: "This news will definitely reach Sishang, Dad must be very happy."

I moved my shoulders a bit, habitually put the braids I was playing with with my mouth and gently bit the ends of my hair, and my mind quickly changed to another place.

"It's less than a hundred miles away from the big river, and to the north is the Yin Mountain. The terrain is open. According to the book, this is the only way from north to south of the Yin Mountain."

"A few days ago, I measured Gouchen Xing. According to the school, it is [-] degrees north latitude. It is farther north than Gaoliu, but it is warmer. I remember when those people went to Sushen before, they measured Guzhu Mountain Also this latitude."

"It seems that there is the feudal state of Boyi Shuqi, right? I heard people say that the Guzhu Kingdom separated by Yin merchants was the surname of the son who conquered Dongyi, with Motuo as his surname. Later, the Shan Rong invaded Yan, Huan of Qi destroyed Guzhu by fighting against the barbarians, and the nobles of Guzhu moved south to Qi, so they took Mo as their clan..."

"Zimozi can't be the noble man of Guzhu back then, right? If so, it would be interesting. Zhongni is Zi's surname, but Zimozi is also Zi's surname?"

This strange thought flashed, and he sighed again, thinking: "We can calculate the latitude in the cloud, and we can estimate the distance between north and south, but the distance between east and west can be calculated accurately? The school guide said it , His two gentlemen once used a telescope to see the moon of the Tai Sui star, which can be used as a water leak to count the time, and they don’t know when they will be able to see the moon of the Tai Sui star..."

"If I can grind it out, I will definitely draw a complete map of Zhuxia and Kyushu with everyone..."
