Chapter 75 Bone Smelting Zhu Rongxue ([-])

Although there was a trace of resentment in Luo Huali's heart, he was a Mohist after all.
Since the giant has decided that the matter of land acquisition is righteousness, he cannot follow his own temperament.

Facing Gong Zaoye, who had beaten him with a stick for two months, Luo Huali's temper also restrained a lot.

He is a person who shows his emotions and anger in color, even a child like Liuzhi can see the displeasure on his face, let alone Gongzaoye who has been with him day and night for more than ten years.

Looking at the unhappy Luo Huali, Gong Zaoye felt that he was not very good at reasoning, and he couldn't compare to Shi, let alone Mr.

But since he took the first step with many people, he was also the leader when he came to Peidi, so he always had to say something.

"Luo Huali, let me ask you. Do people resent someone who kills someone for no reason?"

"Natural resentment."

"If you break the ban and beheaded in the city, will his family resent the beheaded soldier?"

"No resentment."

"Why is this?"

Luo Huali thought the truth was very simple, and he knew it very well in his heart, but it was extremely difficult for him to say it with his mouth.

After thinking about it for a long time, why didn't he say this.

I always feel that it is in my heart, but I just don't know how to open my mouth, and my head is sweating profusely.

Gong Zaoye smiled and said, "Don't worry. Listen to me. Everyone knows that he was killed because he violated the prohibition, so he will not resent him if he is killed. Instead, he will only warn himself not to violate the prohibition in the future, so as not to end up beheaded." Yu Shi's fate. Is this the reason?"

Luo Huali nodded hastily, and said: "That's right! That's it. From the righteous point of view of Mohists, shouldn't those people who amass money deserve to die? They use the name of ghosts and gods to deceive the world, and they will also be punished by ghosts and gods. Isn’t it right for ghosts and gods to punish them? Six Fingers, tell me, should these people be killed?”

Six fingers scratched his head and said: "It should be killed, but it can't be killed. Sang Sheng of our village also made a mistake, but Shi Ye can only use the method of the village to punish him..."

Luo Huali snorted, and cursed: "Unhappy. Don't be such an unhappy person when you grow up."

Gong Zaoye shook his head and laughed, looked at the angry Luo Huali, and said after a while: "You are right, with the righteousness of Mohists, these people deserve to die. But is the righteousness of Mohist people the mainstream righteousness in the world? Is it the ones here? Is the righteousness of those who sacrifice voluntarily?"

"If it is, kill those people, everyone will not only applaud, but also warn themselves not to do it again. If not, it is more serious than killing people for no reason, everyone will resent us, and they will not warn themselves not to do it again. "

"So, we must first explain our righteousness to them, and then execute the matter of killing."

When Luo Huali heard this, he laughed and said: "The handout? Gongzaoye, I admire your swordsmanship. But when it comes to the handout, I don't think you are very good at it. The wooden stick you used to reason with me that time, this time Can't you hold a sword and reason?"

Liuzhi was very curious and asked, "How do you use a sword to reason?"

Luo Huali clapped his hands and said: "It's easy! The 20 or so Mohists who came first this time are all masters of swordsmanship. Find those Wu Zhu and village elders, catch them in front of everyone, and hold their swords to their hearts. Not to tell the truth, Don't say it's deceiving people to make money, just stab in with a sword. Kill three or five, and the rest will be sure to tell the truth. This is reasoning with a sword, how can it be so troublesome?"

After finishing speaking, Gong Zaoye picked up the sword and patted Luo Huali's head sideways, and said with a smile: "Don't teach the child badly, Mr. asked you to become a Mohist at that time, but there is no way to reason with you like this."

"Mr. said that to do righteousness, it is like building a city wall. Those who move the earth and those who tamp it should do their best. I can't give lectures. I went to Chu State, but it's okay to talk about the truth. .If it’s suitable or not, there is always a way, sir.”

"We'll just wait and wait until the master arrives before making any calculations. We must have the best of both worlds. At that time, when your sword is used, don't ask me to take action if there are other warriors among those witch wishes. ..."

It was half persuasion, half encouragement, Luo Huali finally felt at ease, and boasted: "I have learned swords for more than ten years, and no one in this place should be able to defeat me. I didn't mean to kill chickens that day. How can you use a butcher's knife? When you really want to kill people, you don't need to do it, I will do it..."

Gong Zaoye laughed a few times. He was a seemingly rude but careful person. Seeing that Luo Huali had persuaded him, he thought that the follow-up Mohist would be coming soon. How can we solve this matter so that we can get the best of both worlds?
…………

Along the Sishui River, horse-drawn double-wheeled carts creaked and occasionally passed by a few villages, and the double-wheeled carts always attracted many people to watch.

Shi didn't take a car, but walked along the river to see the situation near the river.

Sometimes I measure the riverbed and embankment, sometimes I dig out the soil, and sometimes I look at the sediment deposited by the water flow at the sharp bends of Surabaya.

Peidi is near Surabaya, so there was the Surabaya Pavilion when Qin was unified.

The ancient Sishui is an important tributary of the Huaihe River. By the time we are familiar with later generations, the ancient Sishui has disappeared.

Since Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty took the Huaihe River into the sea for the first time, and then continued to flood the Yellow River and the wars of the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the original ancient Sishui only left an abandoned river channel four or five meters above the ground, telling the dangers of the Yellow River flood.

The rich water and grass along the way, and the old course of the Yellow River for later generations, the two intersect in time and space at this moment, let Shi finally understand why even the King of Qin is willing to use his daughter to sacrifice He Bo at this time, the Yellow River is really terrible.

Near Peidi are the states of Teng and Xue, and Zaozhuang in later generations is still called Lanling.

The huge Weishan Lake has not yet appeared, and it will not be formed until the Yellow River seizes the Huaihe River and enters the sea. At this time, Weishan Lake is still a fertile and undeveloped fertile wetland.

If there is no seizure of the Huaihe River into the sea, this will be the best piece of farmland, especially after the appearance of iron tools, it is easy to cultivate.

The current in Surabaya is not turbulent, and it is not difficult to go upstream, and there are not many reefs and dangerous shoals in the river.

It leads down to the Huaihe River, and then down to the north through the artificial canal excavated by Wu and Yue for hegemony in the Central Plains.

Pei is not a big city, nor is it a fiefdom of powerful nobles, and its management is chaotic.

Self-government by the local elders, big clans, and witches has formed an interest group for the local people.Some are similar to some large counties in Chu State. The county magistrates are nominally appointed by the King of Chu, but they are basically hereditary. If something important happens, the King of Chu needs to send troops to guard against those autonomous counties before he dares to send troops.

In the past, when Jin and Chu fought for hegemony, this is the only place for Jin to communicate with Wu.As long as Jin and Chu have been fighting for hegemony, this place has been in chaos for a long time. The descendants of nobles from the destroyed small countries live here, and the situation is extremely complicated.

Later, Dr. Song Xiang Rong organized a military elimination meeting. Originally, the Jin State planned to give Xiang Rong a fiefdom in these places, but Xiang Rong refused to accept his resignation.

Just because this place is too messy, it is not a good place to be a fiefdom.At that time, the state of Chu was going to let the first generation of Duke Lu Yang confer in Daliang. The first generation of Duke Lu Yang saw that Daliang must be a place for hegemony with Jin, Wei, Zheng and other countries, and he firmly refused to accept it and wanted Lushan. The fiefdom near Luguan is actually the same.

Since Xiang Rong didn't want it at the beginning, Peidi's generation was in the Song Dynasty, and he was directly under the monarch.

Since it is directly under the monarch of the Song Dynasty, of course it cannot be a good place, and the monarch can't control it, it can only be a semi-autonomous place that is better than nothing.

Need to guard against Vietnam, need to guard against the fees allocated by the Ji clan, and need to guard against the county officials who have the right to send troops and start wars. Song Gong followed Qi's method and used another set of jurisdiction methods here.

Originally Qi was divided into east and west, the east was the hinterland of Qi, and the west was some newly conquered or reclaimed places from Lu.

In the east, apart from Yue, which rose before and has been considered by Qi State as the "Tiger Country", there is the sea and there is no threat.The west side is where countries compete for hegemony. Today it may belong to themselves, but tomorrow it will belong to others.

Therefore, Qi State implemented military service in the east as its basic base.In the west, double taxes are implemented, and the people there are not required to serve in the military. After all, some places originally belonged to Lu State, and Qi State cannot rest assured if local people are used to fight Lu State.

Pengcheng, Peidi, was in a similar form before the large-scale migration of Shangqiu people in the Song Dynasty. It was good to pay a certain tax every year. Yi, this broken place can't be managed, so it can only be done in this way.

According to the appropriate understanding, and the news I got in Shangqiu, the situation in Peidi is basically like this: there are no big nobles like the Liuqing Sicheng of the Song Dynasty, and the small nobles are everywhere, and the composition is basically not Song people. The nobles are deeply rooted in the local area and migrate from place to place.

Although the small countries that were destroyed were small, they had all internal organs, and there were also full-time witches who were proficient in sacrifices, so they basically controlled the local spiritual life.As the channel connecting the lower classes ruled by the Song Dynasty here, it also holds the right to tax and call.

Without these small local nobles, Song State could not rule at all.However, the local situation is complicated. Before the situation in Qixiong was clear, none of the great aristocrats of the Song Dynasty were willing to serve as fiefdoms. In the future, this place will be a major city in the struggle between Chu and Qi. Human filling disrupts the original balance of power.

The original small countries that were destroyed were not big, and they were basically vassal states.

But there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call themselves kings, and the nobles of the small countries here have always been lawless. Fifteen tripods have been unearthed in the tombs of some small countries... The emperor of Zhou is only nine tripods, and these small countries dare to bury fifteen. One can imagine the boldness of the descendants of nobles from small countries.

They are basically ancient kingdoms from the Xia and Shang dynasties. As vassal states, they nominally belonged to the kingdom of kings, but in fact they didn't observe so many etiquettes at all, and the practice of offering sacrifices was even more serious.

It is precisely because of these reasons that I choose here.It's not that he is a person who likes to face difficulties, but that if it is not difficult or chaotic, the nobles will not agree at all.

He really wanted Taoyi, but the other party couldn't give it to him, even if he gave it to him, he would be like a dog on a chain...

The more chaotic the local grassroots, the weaker the ruling class is, and no matter how much they jump around, they will not attract the attention of others.

So this chaotic place, in Shi's eyes, became a place that couldn't be better.Although only the right to levy taxes has been obtained now, there will still be a matter of Chu people besieging Shangqiu in the future, and it will be better to take advantage of this opportunity at that time.
