Soon after that drunkenness, the delegates from all over the country who returned to participate in this Mohist Tongyi meeting basically gathered, and the Tongyi meeting was held in September as planned.

There were one hundred and seven people in the synonymous meeting, and there were people from all over the country.

The first three days of the meeting can be regarded as semi-public, basically each head or person in charge to report on the development situation, and roughly inform the current Mo family.

After the Battle of Shangqiu, the Mo family began a large-scale expansion, and now counting the alternate Mo masters, there are more than 4,300 people in the register.

It's not much, but in this era, it's already an extremely terrifying force.

Now the Mo family controls Peixian and Pengcheng, infiltrates some of the villages near Liuyi, helps Teng to restore the country, and develops extremely violently within the Song State, and has a very high influence.

At the same time, Niu Yan in Luyang, in the name of helping Luyang Gongzhiyi, controlled power there.

In Wancheng, Nanyang, the first iron-smelting workshop of the Chu State has also been built, and some agricultural tools and ironware have begun to be produced.

The salt pond in Badi, Zaomei Qisui and others also controlled part of it there, and they had a lot of contact with the ink people in Chudi.

In the land of Wu Yue, some of the nobles of Wu also had frequent contact with the ink scholars there.

The real essence of the Mo family now is Pei County, which has expanded to Huling and infiltrated most of Liuyi.

There are more than 56,000 local homesteaders in Pei County, and this is the statistics after the grassroots village communities have been completely controlled, and a large part of Huling and Liuyi are close to Pei County, as well as those who have fled from various places to arrange for cultivation.

In addition to the registered yeoman farmers, there are more than 25,000 "government-run" handicraftsmen, mining and metallurgical workers who belong to the Mojia workshops, village teachers who eat Mojia money, and full-time soldiers who are not conscripted.

The village communities in Liuyi have basically completed their organization, and the population that can be basically controlled is about 60 village communities, with nearly 9,000 households.

The number of people in Pengcheng is about the same as in Pei County, but the number of handicraftsmen and non-yeoman farmers is much smaller.

After the restoration of Teng, the population statistics were being compiled and naturalized, and there were about 30,000 households. For the aristocracy, the population of a Chengyi depends on how many people there are in the city, and for the Mo family who can penetrate the grassroots, it is all statistics.

At this time, the city of more than 30,000 households was considered a big city, and now it can be counted as a big city, that is, the newly built Peiguo, which is the gathering place of the Mo family's handicraft industry.

There are two iron-smelting furnaces in Pei County, and each furnace can produce 4,000 catties of iron per day, which is the number of two tons, which is not much.

One in Pengcheng.

Supporting wrought iron mixing furnaces, annealing furnaces, casting molds, sand turning, agricultural tools, military industry, pots and other workshops are also basically concentrated in Peiguo.

There are also a series of workshops such as primitive porcelain, papermaking, and winemaking.

These workshops relied on handicrafts to support the Mo family's increasingly large expenses, accumulated enough food, and allowed the Mo family to support a group of "public servants" who were much higher than the proportion of the times.

Peixian has been in a state of "high accumulation" in recent years, and in the early stage, the Mo family used iron tools, cattle and horses to redeem and redeem, so that most of the surplus grain in the hands of the farmers entered the Mo family's warehouse.

In addition, the people were organized to build water conservancy and dig ditches, so that in Pei County, there are 800,000 acres of fields that can be irrigated by ditches.

The planting methods of potatoes and corn in spring and autumn, wheat and soybeans in winter and summer have also maintained the farmland yield of Pei County at a level that is best in the world.

The average yield of irrigated land per mu is 120 catties of wheat per season.

Some can be irrigated, and the average yield per mu is 180 catties of wheat per season.

The newly cultivated land, the farmer's own compost land, etc., can reach a terrible amount of 250 catties per mu, which is terrifying for the times.

As for sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots, etc., which replace some of the staple grains, the yield is higher, but most of them are used to make wine.

Last year alone, Pei County's annual agricultural tax revenue reached 3 million stones of the weekly small stones, but this is the weekly small stones, and the average burden of each household is 40 stones, which is equivalent to about 100 catties on the head of each agricultural population.

If this were elsewhere, it would be tyrannical.

In later generations, Meng Weijun worked hard to put usury, and there were 60,000 households in Xueyi, with an annual interest of 100,000 yuan...... In exchange for grain, it is only a pitiful 30,000 stones, and with this income, plus the income of its own Lutian fiefdom, it provides for 3,000 guests.

In Qi, Chu and other places, the price of a stone of corn is basically 30 yuan, which is converted into one penny for one pound of corn, and each coin is equivalent to half a tael of copper, because the agricultural productivity is underdeveloped, there is simply not so much surplus grain to exchange for commodities.

Under the planting technology of bone tools, stone tools, copper and other tools, even if they are converted into a large mu of Mojia weights and measures, the yield per mu is only a few dozen catties, and after deducting what they eat, there is very little left.

However, in Pei County, with the support of 120 acres of land per household, iron cattle ploughing and water conservancy, as well as improved varieties and ridge crop rotation, taking the classic rotation of winter wheat and summer soybeans as an example, if the year is good, a household can earn 20,000 catties of wheat and 15,000 catties of soybeans.

The forty small stones paid by each household are about 1,200 catties, which is about 15 taxes and 1, which can indeed be regarded as good governance rather than harsh government in Pei County.

However, in other countries, it is really strange that this county can earn so much grain into the warehouse without a large-scale exodus.

Rao is like this, these agricultural incomes are still only a small amount compared to the profit income of the various workshops of the Mo family.

Ironware, spirits, primitive porcelain, etc., are strictly forbidden to be privately owned, and the grain exchanged for along the rivers around the Song Dynasty every year is much higher than the agricultural tax of Pei County.

This has caused a very strange situation in the price of Peidi.

With a household income of 30,000 catties of grain, put it elsewhere, it is also a rich household with an annual income of 10,000 yuan, but it is in Pei County...... The vast majority of people have never seen copper coins at all, let alone wealthy people.

The agricultural revolution is the foundation of the handicraft revolution, and the agricultural revolution in Peixian has been completed, not counting the excess profits of iron tools, and will gradually reach an exchange ratio of the average amount of labor.

However, the copper mines in Chuyue and other places have not reached the average agricultural production of Pei County, and the amount of copper that can be exchanged for grain in Pei County every year is extremely terrifying...... Every year, Pei County's agricultural tax can be exchanged for 2 million copper according to the copper grain price ratio of Chu State, and with the gradual change of Chu State's agriculture, this exchange ratio will slowly decrease, but now Pei County can still exchange a huge amount of copper for handicraft value-added products such as ironware, spirits, and primitive porcelain every year.

After the grain production of Pei County increased, animal husbandry and breeding also gradually developed. On the one hand, it can provide more cattle and horses, and on the other hand, cows, horses and pig manure can also fertilize the fields and increase grain production.

The Mo family's policy of high accumulation, monopoly of iron tools and the purchase of cattle and horses in installments implemented by the Mo family in Pei County did not enjoy it too much every year.

The life of a farmer is naturally better than before, but compared with those "10,000 yuan a year" families outside, it is far behind.

Fortunately, there is no problem with eating enough, eating meat a few times a year, and having vegetable oil to supplement fat.

The treasury of the Mo family and the treasury of the Pei County Government are piled up with an astonishing amount of money and grain.

This is a very delicate point in time.

It has been six or seven years since the Shangqiu coup d'état began large-scale changes in Pei County.

Iron tools with excess profits, cattle and horses brought from the north, were handed over to the peasants by the policy of buying them in installments, and by this year most of the farmers were about to completely repay the agricultural necessities that needed to be redeemed in installments.

In other words, all the dividends of the agricultural reform in the past six or seven years were basically concentrated in the hands of the Mo family, and not much remained in the hands of the farmers. The strong material foundation is the foundation for many people in the Mo family to dare to fight against the Yue State with the strength of just two counties.

On the other hand, a large number of peasants were about to usher in their good days: the goods bought in installments were returned to themselves, and after the annual tax of fifteen and one was paid, the surplus grain increased greatly, and more handicraft goods were needed to enrich these purchasing powers, and the population and land controlled by the Mohists were still too small, so the war against Vietnam was imminent.

In addition, at this time, it is the time when the people's will is at its peak, and all the achievements after the reform are close at hand, and it has also survived the early accumulation period.

Coupled with the most important external environment, the Jin-Chu war is imminent, and the timing of the internal turmoil in Qi will cease, once the Mo family is missed, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity.

These things can be directly used as practical grounds for argument.

…………

A few days before the semi-public synonym meeting, all participants had a closed-door discussion, which, as they had done many years ago, lasted for mid-September.

More than 80 out of 107 people supported the idea of Shi, opposing the all-out promotion of the Central Plains to defeat the army, but temporarily put their minds on the corners outside the Central Plains.

In fact, the criticism of Wei Yue's ideas was only three days.

Three days later, it was more appropriate to oppose the radical idea of "solving the problem of Vietnam in World War I, and taking advantage of the victory to take advantage of the victory".

The Mo family has begun to generally distrust the princes and nobles, and some are too optimistic about the strength of the Mo family, so they insist on developing quietly, and don't make such a big move before there are enough ink people, otherwise they will not be able to govern it at all.

And cited the example of Pengcheng in Pei County, saying that the time is not right now, if the Yue Di is captured at this time, one will be panicked by the princes, and the other will not have so many ink people to govern and enrich.

In the end, the appropriate opinion prevailed and a tentative agreement was reached.

That is, taking this battle as an opportunity, a "non-offensive alliance" was formed in the Surabaya basin dominated by the Mohists and composed of seven small states, Teng, Xuan, Ni, Xue, Fei, Tan, and Pi.

The Mohists dominated the restoration of the country and the rest of the small countries, completely squeezed the Yue country out of the Surabaya Valley, and formed a covenant organization in Pengcheng that was only for self-preservation. In fact, under the existing rules, the strength of the Mo family is expanded to the greatest extent.

To achieve this plan, Peixian, Pengcheng, Tengguo, etc., controlled by the Mo family, must prepare for a long-term war that lasts for a year.

The ongoing water conservancy project was halted, and the entire control area was fully transferred to wartime preparations.

All the volunteers who returned home after three years of service returned to the team to reorganize a field force of about 25,000 people, as well as a certain number of farmers with the army to do logistics.

This field force requires 13,000 people from Peixian, 8,000 from Pengcheng, 2,500 from Tengguo, 2,000 from half of Liuyi controlled by the Mo family, and 1,500 troops from the exclusive Mo family.

The Xuanyi Ministry wanted to carry out a comprehensive mobilization, and the slogan was: "Defend the existing Promised Land, the more warlike the more warlike people dare not covet it, and the princes of Surabaya will form an alliance without attacking and stopping the war." ”
