warring states careerist

Chapter 804
Zitian had a premature retreat in his heart. Unlike those princes and nobles with real power, he didn't even have the strength to fight to the death.

Originally, the centralization reform of the Song Dynasty in history was also led by the nobles after usurping the throne, but it was slightly different from Tian's Dai Qi in that the nobles belonged to the same family when they belonged to Duke Dai. If the meat rotted in the pot, it would be bad. Use tampering.

The aristocrats were too powerful and eventually replaced them, using force to solve domestic problems.However, even then, the state of Song did not rise for a few days, reformed for several years, and died in one day.

20 years ago, the three Jins were divided into Jins, and the Tian family replaced Qi. man of.

Even the emperor recognized it, so what else is there to say?

The emperor himself didn't say that he wanted to uphold the etiquette system of the princes of the emperor, how many people are willing to die for this righteousness?
In the Song Dynasty coup, the Mo family got involved. A few months ago, the Song Dynasty was still full of powerful aristocrats, and each family fought in chaos.

Up to now, Zitian has long lost his heart, and only thinks about finding a way out for himself and his children and grandchildren.

Sishang’s policy is already very radical, but this kind of radicalism is relative to this era. If you look at ancient and modern China and foreign countries, it is actually nothing, because a large amount of land that could not be cultivated in the Copper and Stone Age has value in the Iron Age, which can be called As for the land, the pressure from the population and the land is not very great. What is important is a new system and new production relations to unleash the productive forces of the Iron Age.

Zitian couldn't understand these things, but he could understand that Sishang, the Mo family who was close to Song State, had become a trend.

It may not be certain that he will win the world, but Zitian is looking forward to the Mo family's winning the world.

Without him, because the princes won the world, the Song State still does not exist, and I am afraid that the descendants will also suffer disasters; but if the Mohist can win the world, although they may no longer have fiefs and blood status, they can at least survive.

His cronies persuaded him to plan to become Su Feng's king, but he knew that once he took this step, he would have nothing to do with Sishang.

Seeing Zitian's hesitation, the confidant persuaded: "You have pearls, jade, gold and silver, some land income, and a lot of property in your private treasury. These can be turned into the capital that Sishang said, and invested in industry and commerce. , deposited in the gold bank, or invested in the chamber of commerce, the annual income is no less than the income from the land."

Zitian smiled wryly and said: "These gold, silver, pearls and jade eventually flowed into Sishang. Sishang forced me to do this, but I want to add bricks and tiles to Sishang. After all, my heart is hard to get over."

The confidant sternly said: "If your lord wants to calm your heart, you should raise your troops and shout out to attack Qi Jin in the north and Simo in the east. This is really according to your wishes. Since your lord is unwilling to do this, it is useless to ask for peace of mind. Seeking profit."

"Qin Chu Jin, the country is big, the king can seek power without self-interest. Song Xiao, the king should seek profit and think that his descendants are the only ones."

"The so-called equality of the Mohists is the inequality that is concealed under the guise of money. Your lord will see it earlier, and seek benefits for his descendants earlier. This is the right way."

Zitian sighed and said nothing for a long time.

If you take this step, it is impossible to turn back.For example, if these money and jewels are invested in the South China Sea, if there is a war in the South China Sea, it will be a matter of Sishang, but I have to care about the war and my own interests.

Zitian felt that he was like a grain of sand in the Sui River, tossed invisibly in the waves and waves, with no choice, and finally flowed into the vast East China Sea.

For the benefit of future generations, Sishang is the best choice. Investing in industry and commerce and the development of the South China Sea, the profits are guaranteed. As long as Sishang does not fail, it seems that those properties can be guaranteed to belong to individuals.

Marquises like Tenghou Xuehou did the same thing, giving up their titles in exchange for industrial and commercial equity.

The profit that originally relied on the labor rent on the land has become another kind of industrial and commercial profit.

What is lost and what is gained, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is extremely difficult to choose.

After a long time, Zitian waved his hand and said, "Let me think twice about this matter."

…………

Almost at the same time, He Zitian received reports from the Mohists and schools of thought on the strategy of building the country by non-offensive attacks in the Song Dynasty, as well as Dai Cong.

Dai Cong looked at this strategy, and after sending away the Mo family's envoy, he became furious.

He slammed this strategy on the table and scolded: "The Mohists bully people too much! They force people too much! In this way, what am I, the Great Yin of the Advisory Council? What rights do I have? What benefits do I have? A few years later, why should I still be the Great Yin of the Consulting Council?"

According to the content of this strategy, Dai Cong knew very well that he was nothing more than a transition.

Five years later, he will be re-elected. Unless he has done a great job and won the support of all parties, how can he be elected as the Great Yin of the Consulting Yuan?

The Mo family didn't participate in the affairs of the Song Dynasty on the surface, so it led to the fact that he was the leader of the Shenzhengyuan acceptable to all parties. If the Mo family participated, the other hundreds of schools would probably not be able to give him a chance.

At first, he thought very well, drive away the imperial father's family, use the power of the Mohists to get rid of the rest of the nobles of the Song Dynasty, become the "elected Duke of Song" himself, and issue some policies that invite the people's hearts, so as to rely on public opinion to become the elected prince. Hou.

But now, what's the matter?

In terms of jurisprudence, all government orders must be reviewed and formulated by the Senate and the Senate. If it is his policy, will the people believe it?
In reality, hundreds of schools of thought have divided up the government affairs of the Song Dynasty, each local school has its own schools, and Dai Cong is not the father of all the decisions made by the central government. The policy of benefiting the people designated by Yin?
Each school of thought needs to publicize that it is working for the benefit of the people, so as to win the real election five years later, how many people will publicize his achievements of Dai Cong?
Seeing this, the trusted retainers around him cautiously persuaded: "If you don't sign, I'm afraid the Mo family will be angry. It's not like you haven't seen the end of the emperor's father Yueling. The princes have never sent troops so far. They have their own thoughts and dare not provoke the Mo family , what can you do?"

"If you don't sign, you have to flee. Besides, even if you flee, where can you escape? Sishang righteous teachers are all over the main roads of Song Dynasty, even if you are afraid of fleeing, it will not be easy."

"And...according to this strategy, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I can still govern without you. After all, the emperor is still here...you are just consulting the Great Yin of the Political Yuan."

This is ugly, but it is not ironic, it is just stating a fact.

Whether Song Gong is present or not, the Mohists have a solution.

If not, choose wise men to be princes.

If it is here, Da Yin of the Xunzhengyuan was not elected this time. If he cannot be elected now, the Mo family can use Song Gong's name to introduce another one.

Since he, Dai Cong, is fighting a big family with a small family, anyway, he is not hurting his own interests, so there are naturally people from smaller families who are willing to stand up and take advantage of the waves of the times.

Dai Cong smiled helplessly.

Another confidant said: "Reforms have changed, and the more changes have become more chaotic. If you look at the Song Dynasty, this reform is not as good as the feudal system."

"Under the feudal system, even if the officials have the heart to cause chaos, they still know that if there is no skin, there will be no hair. Only those who have a permanent property can have perseverance."

"A doctor has a family, a prince has a country, and invading the country is invading the family."

"Nowadays, schools of thought govern. They have no family or property. How can they have perseverance? Besides, for them, if there is no skin left, there will be no hair. The skin is the world."

"They only need to flatter the people in Song State, and they don't need to consider the future of Song State. Because Song State is not theirs, the world is theirs. They don't need to consider Song's sacrifices to the society and the country's peril."

"If the Mohists do this, isn't that forcing the schools of thought to learn to flatter the people?"

"When the feudal system was established, the rulers were flattered; now the people are God-lords, and the people are flattered. In the end, it is all about power, and there is no difference."

"For example, if a king likes pearls and jade, there must be courtiers and high officials who will offer pearls and jade to tie the knot; if the king loves beautiful girls, then there must be courtiers and high officials who will offer beautiful prostitutes to make a good relationship. Nowadays, schools of thought form cliques to make profits, to lure the people, and to flatter There is no difference between princes and lords. It is just that what the people want, land, property, less tax, and no labor, are not the same as the king."

"I'm afraid that from then on, everyone will flatter and make it difficult to carry out state affairs."

Dai Cong snorted and sighed bitterly: "I can also flatter the people, and I want to flatter the people, but the Mohists don't give me a chance."

"I originally wanted to flatter the people and benefit them. Based on the public opinion of the people, I was promoted as the real Yin and the pillar of protecting the country. It's not that the Mohists don't know, but why can't they give me such a chance?"

"do you know?"

Asked a word, someone in the crowd replied: "It's nothing more than the death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of the lackeys; the death of the high birds and the hiding of the good bow."

Many people nodded, thinking that the Mo family is too utilitarian, and they don't show affection at all.

However, this cunning sentence caused a burst of laughter among the followers of the diners.

"The cunning rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking? The high bird is doing his best to hide the bow? Hahahahaha! Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

"A radish that lures a sly rabbit out of its lair, but thinks it is a running dog; a sparrow that lures a tall bird, but one of them thinks it is a good bow?"

"As a human being, you need to understand who you are."

"As a loyal minister, you need to let the lord understand what you are, so that you can make a down-to-earth decision that is beneficial to the lord."

"My lord thinks that you and I are good lackeys?"

These words sounded quite ironic, and Dai Cong's face became angry. It is impossible for anyone not to be angry when his subordinates say that he is not strong enough, not even a lackey, but at most a carrot to lure rabbits.

However, the confidant disciple looked at Dai Cong with burning eyes, and Dai Cong suppressed the anger in his heart, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid we really can't be regarded as good running dogs."

"In terms of people, the Mohists can use my name to stabilize the state of Song, or they don't need it. Even if I die, it will still not affect the government of the Song Dynasty. A man with a high bird and a good bow can assist Goujian in destroying the language of Wu, and we are not comparable."

"If there is no language, the Yuejia cannot swallow Wu; if there is no us, the Mohists can interfere in the Song Dynasty."

"You're right. You should recognize yourself, so you can understand what you can do in the future, and how to make profits. If you don't have the talent for writing, but don't ask for the position of writing, you will easily die. "

The confidant Shi Ran saluted and said: "If the young master's words are sincere, then the young master will have no worries. On the contrary, he will gradually increase his benefits. He will no longer be the radish and sparrow today, or one day the sincerity will be the good bow of the running dog. It is unknown."

"If the son's words are just to show the magnanimity of the virtuous, the son will be worried. If you don't have the strength to be a running dog's good bow, but you want to bite back before the lackey cooks; if you are a good bow before it breaks, you will be killed. of."
