Chapter 823 Good Governance
After finishing this report, the more than ten people present did not unanimously approve of the appropriate idea.

They agree with the overall strategy, but there are some complaints about the use of selling weapons and smuggling goods to intensify the contradictions between the nobles and the king of Chu, and between the nobles and the landed peasants.

If you clearly know that doing so will cause people to suffer, should you do it?
If it is for a long-term goal, then the justice of the goal and the result does not need to consider the process?

After all, the righteousness of the Mohist school is there.

In the end, Appropriate passed the plan with a not-so-obvious advantage. Those who hold opposing opinions just respect the rule that the minority obeys the majority, but it does not mean that they approve of Appropriate opinions.

As for continuing to increase infiltration in Chu State, it is not difficult.

Mohism’s way of spreading outside of Sishang is a combination of some religious experiences. Historically, the Xias have always suppressed religions. In the Three Kingdoms period, the Yellow Turban Uprising had a large-scale uprising. ** regime.

But at this time, the princes of the world have no way to fight against "religious conventional means".

Including giving medicines, seeing a doctor, forming associations and helping each other, etc., these are all common methods outside of Sishang, and they are also experiences that can be learned from the means of religious communication.

In addition to religious methods, Shi also used methods similar to some purposeful NGOs.

It is impossible to sincerely help the development of Chu State. It is also impossible to help the establishment of iron smelting workshops, glass handicraft industry, sugar extraction industry, textile industry, etc. It is also impossible to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to support the construction. possible.

For the people, on the contrary, those methods that cannot solve the problem at the root, such as sending some medicines, helping to give some ironware, and helping to fight against the tyrants of the village, are more likely to attract the people and gain their support.

For example, if the Mohists provide a large number of craftsmen to help Chu State establish its own iron smelting and handicraft workshops, the people will get more benefits, but the people will not know how much manpower and financial resources the Mohism has spent. Instead, they will spend less It is easier to win the approval of the public if you donate some medicine, borrow some iron, and talk about it.

Take future penetration as an example, where does the money come from?Take a small part of the profits from the arms trade with the nobles of Chu.

Where did the money of the nobles of Chu come from?from the hands of the people.

Who do the people hate?It is the nobles, not the Mohists who engage in arms trade; who do the people like?It is the Mohists who use part of their profits to be good people, but actually engage in the arms trade.

The two are the same Mohism, but they are different.

Reality is always so magical, Shi Shi has been used to this method over the years, and it works.

After voting through these strategies, Shi decided to go to Song State as a Mohist tycoon to express Mohism's attitude towards Song State's coup.

If it were not within the Mohist family, it would be inappropriate to go to the Song Dynasty in the current situation where Sishang is counted as a vassal, and it does not conform to the international law and etiquette under Zhou Li.

The international law and international etiquette under Zhou Li have an order of superiority and inferiority. For example, small countries such as Teng and Xue can go to Linzi to "see" the Marquis of Qi, but it is impossible for the Marquis of Qi to go to Tengxue to meet the Marquis of a small country.Even if they form an alliance, they will choose to be in the border area.

Another example is that when Duke Huan of Qi fought against barbarians and defeated Di, Duke Huan of Yan was able to stabilize the situation with the help of Duke Huan. When sending them off, Duke Huan of Qi was sent outside the border to show respect, and Duke Huan of Qi immediately ceded the Marquis of Yan and sent him to Qi The land of Yan was sent to the Marquis of Yan, because unless he was the Son of Heaven, the princes could not leave the country when they sent each other.

All kinds of etiquette, not just food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, have formed a complete system within the world.

It's just that this system has collapsed now, and the Mohist school has never recognized this system. It is suitable to go to Song State as a Mohist tycoon.

Everyone has no objection to this matter. Now that the grand strategy has been set, the Song State is the key link to attract the attention of the princes to the Central Plains. Going there as a Mohist tycoon is precisely to let all countries pay attention to it. In the Central Plains, a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources will be placed in the Central Plains to prepare for the future Mohist strategy of Huai River and Xinyang by "clearly repairing plank roads and secretly darkening Chencang".

Because he is in the middle of his life, the position of deputy superintendent is not for a young man like Qin Huali when he was a superintendent, but for an old man who has made great achievements but is already old. He stays in Pengcheng to preside over the daily life Work.

…………

In mid-October, Shi, who had been away from Shangqiu for more than ten years, once again saw the city wall of Shangqiu.

Along the way, too many people lined the road to welcome.

It is appropriate to think of a poem that does not fit the style at this time.

Xiao Se Qiufeng is here again today, changing the world.

However, it is already winter in October at this time, and in some places that use the old calendar, the New Year will be celebrated in this month. Moreover, even though the spirit of the people in Shangqiu has changed completely from that of more than ten years ago, there is still a bloodline of Song Gong after all. He has no shame in thinking that he has changed the world.

In the distance, the "fake" Yin Dai Cong came to the outskirts to greet him. This fake is not the other fake, and he intends to act on his behalf. Dai Cong, the great Yin of the Consulting Yuan, has not yet completed the formal process.

After meeting, Dai Cong insisted on being a pioneer to show respect.

"In the past, when Mozi was alive, he saved the Song Dynasty to save Lu, and his righteousness was close to the blue sky. The lord of ten thousand chariots and the king of a thousand chariots, when seeing Mozi, he did not hesitate to stand up against him and respect his righteousness."

"Today, Shi Ziqing came out of the blue, saving the people of Song Dynasty from the fire and water, and unraveling the people of Qi from the upside down..."

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and it's not that Dai Cong doesn't understand why he came to be the Great Yin.

He said this to show that Shi is still here as a Mohist giant in terms of etiquette.

Shi Shi chuckled inwardly, thinking that everything needs to be made up for some reason. What Mozi, who was able to stand up to the monarch, relied on was not the righteousness that the monarchs refused to accept, but the hundreds of Mozi behind him who could go through fire and water The martyrs and the strength of the alliance to save Song and Lu.

Dai Cong is a pioneer, which means that he is one level lower than Song Gong, and he is qualified to fight against Song Gong, so it is proper for him to be a pioneer.

Appropriately, I said something about Dai Cong's petition for the people, which is also beneficial to the heart of the people, which can be described as a scene like a comrade.

It is also said that Dai Cong is the great Yin of the Shenzhengyuan, and he is a sage chosen by the people. From this point of view, the leader of Sishang is equal to Dai Cong. The ones elected by the people are one level above.

It is polite to rely on him and Song Gong to fight against courtesy, and it is reasonable to follow him to be equal with Dai Cong.

So the two of them boarded the car and drove forward together.

As the scene has said, the group crossed the city gate that had participated in the defense that year.

After many years of absence, the appearance of Shangqiu City has undergone great changes. The new city defense system based on "walking walls" has replaced the previous four-square city defense that conforms to etiquette and is good enough to defend in the Bronze Age.

The Mohist school has great influence in Shangqiu, its roots are very deep, and there are many people who welcome it. This scene also made Dai Cong, who was traveling with him, understand that he, the Great Yin of the Consulting Council, is just a decoration, at least he can't do things that are contrary to the Mohist school. what you want.

The people of Shangqiu have a special feeling for the Mohist family and Shih. Apart from the morality of the Mohisthism, Shih is a serious Shangqiu person after all. Many elders of the family may also have made boots for Shih's father.

Returning to Shangqiu this time can be regarded as advocating the morality of the Mohist "equality and respecting the virtuous" from another side. The son of the former shoemaker can now be equal to the princes. kind of traditional thing.

When they came to the city, Shi Shi asked someone to stop the carriage, and made a statement on the carriage.

First, I explained the reason for sending troops this time from the moral point of the Mohist school, and then I talked about the heroism of the people of the Song Dynasty who spontaneously rose up and built barricades to resist the unjust royal family, and finally made a few promises.

That is to say, if the countries do not interfere, then the Mohists will also withdraw their troops from the Song State, and will not leave a single soldier, because the people of the Song State already have something worthy of their own protection, and I believe that the people of the Song State can defend it.

If the countries do not recognize and send troops, then the Mohists will still fulfill the previous non-aggression covenant, honor their promises and commit suicide, and will never break their promises.

Second, the Mohists will donate some ironware, cattle, horses, etc. to the new government of the Song Dynasty. In addition to free assistance, they can also use a large amount of ironware and agricultural tools to support the production of the people of the Song Dynasty by means of loans.

Third, I hope that the Song State can cancel all customs duties on Mohist goods, and cancel the toll tax that the Song State nobles have set before, so that the people of the Song State can use various handicrafts that are cheaper.

Fourth, the Mohists will set up a gold and silver commercial bank in Shangqiu, issue currency, and have the same reputation as Sishang, use Sishang's currency, and be able to provide large loans to support the construction of the Song Dynasty.

Fifth, the Mohists will send a group of instructors to the State of Song to help the State of Song build an army that has the right to fight in the Advisory Council and the Senate. This army will protect the people of the State of Song from the invasion of cruel and unjust people. The Mohists could even provide an interest-free loan for the armies and uniforms of this army.

Sixth, the people of Sishang supported the choices made by the people of Song for their own interests and a better life, and donated a lot of money. The money will be sent to Song State in full, and a special committee will be established to supervise the use of the money— —The money of the Mo family belongs to the Mo family, and the money of the people of Sishang belongs to the people of Sishang. Sometimes these two are the same thing, but sometimes they are not the same thing.

As soon as these statements came out, there were thunderous cheers.

Needless to say, the first two items were about military affairs and aid, but the third item, the decision to unilaterally ban tariffs from the Song Dynasty, also received a lot of applause, which meant a lot.

The central government of the Song State is over, the handicraft industry that competes between the Song State and Siyou is over, and the Song State has been completely reduced to a part of Sishang in terms of economic concept.

The competitive handicraft industry of Song Dynasty is silk embroidery industry, and there is no other industry that can compete with Sishang handicraft industry, and the embroidery silk industry is exactly what Sishang has no energy to do.

The private iron smelting workshops that existed in the Song State have long since gone bankrupt; the low-end pottery industry has never been the direction of competition for Sishang handicraft products; ;The cotton textile industry Song State itself has not developed much...

For the people of Shangqiu, cheaper iron, cheaper salt, cheaper cloth, and cheaper pottery are exactly what they hope for and like.Sishang produces more than can be used up, why do you have to produce it yourself?What's more, the emperor's father Yueling, who has the ability and ideas to oppose, has been captured; some industries with interests and motivation to oppose the handicraft industry have gone bankrupt. This is good governance.
