warring states careerist

Chapter 880 Influence
The moment I stepped out of the venue with proper feet, many possibilities were cut off.

It cut off the fantasy of the League of Nations that Mozi envisioned at that time, "all the three hundred kingdoms of Xia, all of which are ministers of heaven and have equal sovereignty, both love and non-aggression, new definition of the world, and Mohist is the sword of the world".

Cut off the federal fantasy of inter-provincial self-government, which was slightly possible at this time, "containing the meaning of feudalism in counties and counties".

It also cut off the last naive fantasy of the people of the Central Plains who had been enlightened by Mohism for more than [-] years and began to feel disappointed.

The real troubled times are finally coming, Shi has no hesitation or regret, just looking forward to the end of the troubled times soon.

The soldiers guarding outside didn't know what happened inside, so they could only watch as they got into a carriage.

This is the territory of the State of Wei, and most of the guards are Wei people. The State of Wei dare not touch his hair, because the State of Wei is too close to Sishang.

As for the words "the world is set to be one", this is not shocking. Many people in the world have already seen the general trend, but they don't know why.

Stepping into the carriage, through the frosted Qinlin window, Shi waved his hand and said, "Go back."

The guard soldiers escorted several carriages, but not all of the Mohist carriages left, and finally there were some left.

…………

Three months later.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, which is the season when Sishang rape blossoms bloom.

Hidden on the post road among the yellow flowers, Xu Ruo and others who had been under house arrest in Xinzheng for half a year sat on the carriage, swaying on the way back to Pengcheng.

The post road is very wide, according to the rules when defending the city, it has continued to this day, and it is already a traffic rule for cars on the right. Although the weekly system has long been regulated, it is Sishang that is so strict at this time.

Xu Ruo saw a lot of people pushing unicycles in front of them, they were not in a mess, and there was a path left, with soldiers on horseback maintaining order.

Looking at the red armbands on the arms of the horsemen, Xu Ruoxin said, "This is the Internal Guard Brigade of the Inspection Department."

After Xinzheng left, Xu Ruo heard a lot of news. It was said that Sishang Volunteer Division was about to change its name. It seemed that it was going to be changed to Jiexuan Army, which naturally meant Jieminzhidangxuan.

I don't know what the name of the Internal Guard Brigade of the Inspection Department will be changed to, maybe new uniforms will be issued, right?
Thinking this way, Xu Ruo asked curiously, "Where are those people in front going?"

The driver of the carriage didn't know, so he stopped the carriage, and several people got out of the carriage to ask.

The inner guard on horseback said: "They are all people who migrated from Chengyang, Linqiu and other places to Huaishui. This is the last batch."

Xu Ruo immediately understood that they were supposed to exchange Chengyang, Linqiu and other Wei kingdom cities, and he knew this.

It's just that I don't know about the local relocation.

After leaving Xinzheng, there were naturally people to meet them, but they told them about some important things along the way, and this kind of thing is not considered a big internal matter.

Xu Ruo and the others will rush back to Pengcheng before April. There will be a lot of things to do after they go back, because an enlarged Mohist meeting will be held. The number of participants will be nearly 500, far exceeding the normal number of committee members, basically covering the entire Sishang area. The township-level Mohist organization, and almost all officers of the deputy brigade commander level in the army.

These days Xu Ruo also knew something, knowing that this enlarged meeting must have originated from the meeting that had no results.

The Mohists synonymously mean that the upper and lower are the same, and the lower and the upper are the same. This kind of special enlarged meeting is rarely held, but it must be held when special circumstances arise.

Everyone in the world can see that after the Fengchi meeting, the world will be in chaos, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

Not long after the Fengchi meeting, Wei Han ordered the Mohists to be strictly prohibited from giving lectures in the whole territory of Wei and Han. However, the weak control ability at the grassroots level made it impossible for the Mohists to give lectures in the big city, but the secret dissemination of books cannot be prohibited.

Historically, even the Qin State, which "far surpasses the six countries in its organizational capabilities", has initially controlled the township level in Qinchuan and other places, and in newly conquered areas, "everything in the county depends on Xiang Liang", Chen Shengbing raised the situation that the nobles of the six countries could restore their country in an instant.At this time, the grassroots control capabilities of various countries can only be said to be better than nothing. Wu Qi and others killed people and left. Many people in the Mo family who had murder cases or even noble murder cases were nothing.

With Wei Han's order, Xu Ruo felt that smiling was enough.In addition to being ridiculous, we can also see Wei Han's attitude, and perhaps a few princes reached an initial agreement at the Fengchi meeting, otherwise Wei Han would not dare to be this early bird.

Relocation is also a manifestation of grassroots control and organizational capabilities.

Xu Ruo knew that there would be no scenes of thousands of families crying together in the relocation this time, but he still couldn't help but want to ask.

It's just that it's going on now, so it's not easy for him to ask more questions.

Fortunately, after walking for a while, the people pushing the carts stopped, and it was near a village.

There are several cauldrons there, and the women are boiling water. It seems that the notification along the route has already been made, and each village community needs to undertake some tasks such as boiling water.

A group of people sat down to rest and drink water, Xu Ruo walked over, and could see that the people next to him were still not used to drinking hot water, so he frowned and muttered: "It's such a hot day, but it's still salty to drink hot water. "

"There are quite a lot of rules in Sishang, and they are also quite strange."

Xu Ruo could understand the dialect there, leaned over and said with a smile: "This rule is for everyone's benefit. Drinking hot water will not make you sick, and drink some salt because you will always sweat after walking such a long distance."

The person who was muttering was obviously a little nervous. He felt that what he just said was a bit like a complaint, so he quickly said, "Yes, yes, I don't understand."

But looking at the women in the local village who were boiling water next to them, they didn't show any fear or uneasiness at all to these people who were wearing military soldiers and these obviously Sishang officials wearing woolen warm shirts, but chatted chatteringly. There are bursts of laughter from time to time, which makes a big difference.

Xu Ruo looked at the family in front of him, a family of ten, a man and a woman were husband and wife, there was an old lady sitting on the wheelbarrow, there were three younger brothers who were supposed to be men, and the rest were children.

There are still many scars on these people, such as cotton clothes instead of the original linen, such as the wheelbarrow they are pushing, such as the sweet potatoes that the children are gnawing.

Looking at the family, the wheelbarrow was probably prepared in advance by Sishang. Other than that, there were only a few unsightly stone farming tools, a rusty iron farming tool, and a few pieces of clothes.

Other than that, they have nothing else.

Xu Ruo sat beside him casually, took out a few pieces of rationed cane sugar from his arms, and gave them to the children next to him, and asked, "My countrymen, is this migration going well?"

Seeing Xu Ruo's behavior, the man said, "Shun. There was nothing at home, except for some sweet potatoes and potatoes. Those who had food at home also exchanged money there. Isn't Sishang able to buy food as long as they have money?"

This is indeed the case. The farmers who originally carried the bronze and stone farm tools on the land suddenly crossed over to the iron ox farming age, so that there was no shortage of grain on Sishang, and the situation of cheap grain hurting farmers frequently appeared.

The man said again: "Hey, the relocation is good. We were supposed to divide the land. We are by the Jishui River, and we have heard the morals of the Mohists. But later they said no, and if we want to evacuate, then we will follow. "

"A few years ago, grain and cotton were expensive, so the gentleman took back the land. The family only had three acres of land to grow some potatoes and sweet potatoes for food. On weekdays, they cultivated with the gentleman, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes in their own fields were also used as food. The gentleman sells food. If we sell cotton to Sishang, we will not starve to death."

"It's still as good as before."

Xu Ruo smiled and asked: "It was good before? How do you say that?"

The old man said: "I heard that before, they were all well fields, with a family of one hundred mu. After plowing the public land, they could manage their private affairs. If there were a hundred mu of land, I would have iron cattle. But now, gentlemen have turned all the land into theirs. The private land made us farm with them, and we only had a few acres of land to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, so we would not die of starvation. There is still an old mother in the family, otherwise he would have fled long ago.”

Xu Ruo sighed, knowing that this matter had something to do with Sishang.

In the area around Jishui, affected by the development of Sishang handicraft industry, nobles in many places began to enclose the land and occupy the public for private.

The emergence of potatoes and sweet potatoes has greatly improved the situation where a family can only live on a hundred acres. A few acres of potatoes and sweet potatoes are not enough to eat, and they rely on working as servants for those small nobles to survive.

In this way, the nobles can sell grain and cotton to make money; some unbearable farmers fled to Sishang, and the workshops on Sishang have people; a large amount of grain and cotton poured into Sishang continuously, making Sishang accumulate more and more. .

But Xu Ruo is on the right side of this point. He thinks that in this way, the output of the land is indeed more, and the concentrated land can also be repaired for water conservancy. What is wrong is not the concentration of land, but who the land belongs to, and distribution problem.

Sishang is also consolidating land to use all kinds of cattle and horses, which is convenient for the village community to build water conservancy projects as a whole. However, the Mo family has been operating in Sishang for 20 years, and there are only enough cadres. It is impossible for the entire Xia Dynasty to use Sishang. way.

Surrounding Sishang, there is the situation around Sishang, and there are also national conditions in the distance, which cannot be regarded uniformly.

Along the banks of rivers such as Jishui, which is close to Sishang, the most industrially and commercially developed area, this economic model has become widespread.But in places farther away, the aristocratic enfeoffment system is still the main system, and the situation there is different from here.

Xu Ruo didn't talk about the deeper things with this family, but just asked, "Are you happy to move away this time?"

The farmer immediately nodded and said, "Happy. Very happy."

"After going to Huaishui, several households will form a commune. You can rent cattle and horses for use, and you can also borrow ironware first. After reclamation, you can live well."

"Originally, it was considered fleeing. Many soldiers and guards who fled to the Sishang River saw it and wanted to arrest them. If they fled elsewhere, they had nothing. How could they cultivate the land to live?"

"Plus there is food and drink along the way, this is what you call the paradise."

With hope for the future, and being alive at this time, for some farmers, it can be called a paradise.
