Chapter 99 Sunflower First Blossom Golden Crow's Habitat ([-])

Autumn is a very important season for Mohists.

Many things need to be resolved when the Mohists get together after the incident in autumn is over.

But for that matter in autumn, Mohists are not worried.

If it wasn't suitable for persuading everyone, they would have to wait until the time when the Chu people attacked the Song Dynasty before making drastic changes, and the Mohists would now adopt extremely radical methods.

Those obstacles in the little Peiyi have no deterrent to the gathered Mohists, and what they care about is only the power outside Peiyi.

Before autumn comes.

The sunflower seeds planted all over Peiyi have flower buds, and the strange crops planted have also stretched out their graceful bodies to reveal attractive fruits.

A group of Mohists came from Shangqiu, and arrived in Peiyi in July with more than 30 members of the Craftsman Association who were close to the Mohism.

In addition to bringing some wooden tools, he also brought [-] sets of leather armor for defending the city.

These were originally accumulated in the Mohist workshop in Shangqiu, but now they are all brought over.

The spirits transported to Qi State were first replaced by cattle and horses, and they were driven to Peiyi.The cattle and horses that Wu Mabo and others bought in Sanjin are already on their way.

Mohists from Qi, Lu, Wei and other places who did not participate in the last Mohist gathering, all gathered in Peiyi before August this time, and those who did not arrive after the deadline were all treated as quitting Mohist.

Different from the Mohist gatherings before, this time the Mohist have some money, and they will give those Mohist who come to the big gathering a small sum of money for their families, or teach their families how to grind soybean milk and wheat flour, and use handicrafts Support family expenses.

In the villages outside Peiyi, those Mohists who have penetrated into the villages use methods similar to those in Shangqiu Village, use more abundant resources, and use their hearts of universal love as Mohists , with the help of the last witch blessing incident, pretending to be a god and playing ghosts won the trust of everyone, and gradually usurped the central position of the self-governing power of the village community.

Every village is different, and everyone uses it in their own way.

For example, the bone maker who was asked about the word "cake" by Shi before he left, it was much easier for him to go deep into the village community than it was for him to start in Shangqiu.

At the very least, when he came to the village, he had money in his hand, and he didn't need to depend on anyone to survive starvation.

Not long after, the Mohists brought salt in a wheelbarrow or a double-wheeled carriage, and the bonesmith followed the previously agreed statement, grouped together five and ten households of the village community, and went deep into each household to check The population of each family.

The inkman who sent the salt left behind the one-wheeled ink cart, and the bone craftsman started his career of "doing little righteousness and gathering people's hearts" with this ink cart.

Or if someone’s farm tool is broken, he uses his excellent bone-grinding skills to make a new one; or if someone needs to repair the house, he uses an ink cart to help push the soil; He sent some food.

Learn how to behave, tell stories at night and gather everyone to listen; plant those strange seeds, talk about Tianzhi Paradise; share the simplest dozen or so of the two hundred characters I learned to teach those children.

Toilets have to be dug, originally just to keep from getting sick and clean.In the art of defending the city, the Mohists also attached great importance to the toilets. Those who committed crimes that were not enough to beheaded had to clean the toilets as a punishment.

However, with the loud noise in Pei Ze's life one day, the toilet is no longer just for composting and cleaning, but has become the first purposeful and necessary task for Mohists who go deep into the village.

Fortunately, in the previous Wu Zhu incident, the identity of the Mohist usurped the trust of the village community in Wu Zhu. In addition, Lu Hua and others shuttled around the villages to show the villagers some diseases that could be cured. finished.

The bonesmith obeyed the order of the giant, and never mentioned any sacrifices in the village community, but only talked about the future life, the seeds that changed life, and the righteousness of the Mohist.

"Mozhe is a group of good people."

This is probably the evaluation of the Mohists by the village community.

"The Mohist wants to let everyone build a paradise in the world."

This is probably the village community's perception of the Mohist's purpose.

But the process, no one knows.

The Mohists brought them hope, or those seeds brought them hope.

This kind of hope, along with the seemingly insignificant things done by the Mohists in various villages, is transformed into trust day by day.

A very small thing, but no one has done it.

This is an era when a soldier who sucks abscesses will give his life as a gift, and it is also an era when a glass of wine can make people promise to kill.

So such a small thing has made the Mohist's name in the village.

People in the village often go to see the crops planted by the bonesmith, listen to him talk about the wonders of these crops, and carefully watch the sunflowers that are growing here for the first time, hoping that one day the golden crow will be able to live on them .

One day when the sunflowers were blooming, the bonemaker was practicing calligraphy with a stick in his small thatched hut, when a double-wheeled carriage came from a distance.

The bonesmith put down the stick, thinking what's the matter?

After welcoming them out, the ink man driving the car first took out three pieces of paper, and said with a smile: "This is grass silk. The master said that each ink man who goes deep into the village will have three pieces of paper, and there will be three pieces after returning. You can write. "

The bonesmith took the thin paper with both hands and put it away carefully. The ink man who drove the cart took out another black bamboo slice, let the bonesmith inspect it, and said: "The giant has an order, and each village community prepares hay."

After speaking, he took out a piece of paper with writing on it, the bonesmith couldn't read it all, but he recognized the seal of the giant below, and said happily, "The cows and horses are coming soon?"

"It's almost the same when I think about it."

The bonesmith clapped his hands overjoyed, and said, "Excellent! With oxen and horses, these people will believe it even more. It's just that there are so many villages and communes, what should we do without the matching plowshares?"

The person who delivered the message smiled and said, "That's not your business. Many carpenters have come from the craftsmen's association, and Bian 54 has also returned from Chudi, and the disciples of the Gongshu class are already on the way. If you talk about carpenters, the whole world You can't find a better place than here."

After joking, the person who sent the letter said: "The giant said that preparing hay is no small matter. With so many cows and horses, if you don't prepare in advance, one horse will starve to death in winter and one less horse will be lost."

The bonesmith nodded and accepted the order.The Mohist who sent the letter whispered: "It's suitable, at most half a month, the sunflowers everywhere will bloom. This time, the witch wishing matter will be resolved on August [-]th, and you will notify the villages and communes on August [-]th. Five gatherings. People from each village must go back to Peiyi before the tenth day of the eighth month. Take control."

The Mohist who sent the letter carefully instructed: "For each village controlled by the Mohist, select those young people whose hearts are attached to the Mohist, who have been cured by the Mohist, who believe in Paradise, who are the least angry in chatting on weekdays, and who have received salt from poor families. People, go to Peiyi together before the tenth day of the eighth month."

The bonesmith wrote down one by one, and the Mozhe who delivered the letter put down a bag of salt, said a few more gossips, and then drove away by himself.

The bonesmith left his hut, and casually called out a child who was learning calligraphy, poetry, and grinding bones from him on weekdays, and said, "Go and tell the villagers that we will all come here tonight to discuss things. .Everyone who can come will come."

The child ran as fast as he could, and by evening, most people in the village community had arrived, including men, women and children.

Many people muttered that the sunflower was about to bloom, and some people talked about the ghost fingers and sweet potatoes dug out of the ground that they saw with their own eyes a few days ago...

The bonesmith sat there and said, "I have something to ask everyone to do."

Everyone said: "That's right. You Mohists always do righteousness, and you can't do wrong."

The bonesmith said: "The giant has an order in the afternoon, and it is the season for mowing and drying grass. The weather is good these few days, and it is best for each village to prepare some hay in advance."

As soon as the words fell, the villagers shouted excitedly: "Could this be the cattle and horses that you Mozi said you would rent to us?"

The bonesmith didn't dare to say such things too early, and he didn't tell the villagers until the news about the cattle and horses was finalized.

Firstly, the Mohist is trustworthy and does not speak out loudly, but the bonesmith here already has trust in the village community, and the village community members have already cheered up once when he said this, but this time he directly talked about preparing hay, where are the people? Can you still sit still?
One by one shouted loudly, thinking of the plowshare mentioned in the paradise, the smoothness of plowing more than ten acres of land per person a day, thinking of the successful attempt of the wheat mentioned by the Mohist, plus those weird and high-yield crops, fermented The dung accumulated in the end has deepened the trust in Mo Zhe a little bit.

The bonesmith just hoped that everyone would listen to him, and he pressed his hands in a casual manner. He didn't want the whole crowd to quiet down immediately, and those who didn't notice that they were still shouting loudly were also pulled by their clothes.

He really didn't expect that he would have such prestige one day, and he said to those villagers who were looking forward to a better life and were extremely quiet: "What the giant means is that there are not many cows and horses, and the money of Mozi is limited, so... um, Five or ten households help each other and share one horse. If it is leased, the cattle and horses are ours after all, so it is paid in five years, and a foal is born halfway. "

Where has everyone in the village encountered such a good thing?Nowadays, the interest rate for borrowing is extremely high, and this Mohist doesn't seem to care about interest rate at all.

They still don't understand what righteousness is, but they feel that it is righteousness.

Some people calmed down and asked, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay back in five years."

The bonesmith said: "Didn't I tell you? At that time, there will be ink masters to guide you in planting, and ink masters will harvest what you plant. Don't you still trust us? We say five years, which means that after five years you will Not only can we have our own cattle and horses, but our life will be better than it is now. Otherwise, what kind of righteousness will we do? What kind of world will we benefit? But there is one thing, if you don’t listen and insist on coming by yourself, you won’t be there in five years. It will be taken back."

Everyone said: "Stupid people don't listen to Mohists."

Seeing that the crowd was in full swing, the bonesmith said: "That's it, according to the pre-compiled bundle, let's mow the grass while the weather is good. There is only one thing, if you don't mow enough, you won't be able to receive cattle and horses this year, otherwise you won't be able to get the grass." Starve to death. Remember, this is not mowing the lawn for the government and the army, it is mowing for yourselves, work harder, don’t wait until the sky is cloudy and rainy.”

Someone couldn't help asking: "Your Mo Gu, doesn't he have the blood of Zhu Rong and the wings of the Golden Crow? Could it be that he can't know when it rains? Besides, you said that if you know the will of heaven, you can know why it rains." Damn it, can’t you know this?”

The bone craftsman smiled and replied: "When the Golden Crow rests, I will know about it. Busy mowing the grass first."

　After reading a lot of pre-Qin classics, it seems that only the Mohist school solemnly included the matter of digging toilets. "Mozi, Orders": Fifty steps below the city, there is a toilet, and the toilet is the same as the upper one. If there is a crime that cannot be judged, let the toilet be more convenient.Well, even what kind of person to send to clean the toilet has been written...the whole set of management regulations.As the source of Qin's military industry, you can probably feel the complexity of its management.
