After a short meeting, a meeting with an intermediary as Party A's representative was held in Xinzheng's palace room amid the roar of cannons.

Many of the people present had ugly faces, just like Zheng Jun's close attendants said that day, the Mo family was loyal to the people of the world, and they obeyed the orders of the giant, and they defended the city not for Zheng Jun and the Si clan to defend the city, but for the morality in their hearts.

In terms of true etiquette, it was a political system and military system that was in line with the previous productive forces, and the nobility did not have much power near the capital.

The monarch has the direct jurisdiction of the capital, and the fiefs of the nobility are outside the capital, and the people of the capital exist as a kind of colonizer and have certain political rights.

After the reform of the child's property, the distinction between the country and the wild began to disappear, and after being a Qiu Fu, the savages were given the same obligations and rights to serve as the people, which made the political power of the people gradually disappear and became the people at the bottom in the real sense.

When there is a difference between the country and the wild, the Chinese people are more like the people of the "country", and it is easier to produce the concept of the country, but with the expansion of the scale of the war, the savage soldier loses the original privilege of the country, which is the best choice.

After this change, the aristocracy gradually gained influence in the capital, and after the land could be bought and sold, the nobles quickly occupied the economic upper echelons of the capital by virtue of their power, wealth, and the gains from the initial violence.

After a series of coup d'état, the Siziyang clan purged the rest of the nobles, and inherited the wealth and fiefs of the rest of the nobles.

This makes it impossible to talk to Zheng Jun if you want to change in Zheng Guo, and these nobles must make compromises and concessions.

Wei and Han besieged the city, and the people did not give up their lives to resist but took advantage of this opportunity to ask for land and reduce taxes, which in the eyes of some nobles was really a wolf's ambition to take advantage of the fire to rob.

But the Mo family put the robbery and wolf ambitions on the surface, and there was a look on their faces that should be like this at this time, and these nobles could only be helpless.

At this time, it is useless to talk about those big truths, and it is useless to curse the people for not being grateful and not knowing how to be patriotic and loyal to the king, the only useful thing is to consider how to make the people stick to the city.

The fugitives of the Liumu family who were killed are about to come back, and once they come back, they will kill the whole family, Zheng Jun can also say that he was forced to become the monarch by the remnants of the Si Ziyang party, but the remnants of the Si Ziyang party can't say that, and the political enemies who have the hatred of exterminating the clan will not give them a chance to say it.

Now that the terms of negotiation were in front of these nobles, the Mo family was not as radical as Sishang, and adopted a compromise, warm boiled toad.

There are so many solutions.

The people of the capital were allowed to organize themselves to elect sages, and additional taxes were required to be levied with their consent, which was a condition for the city's merchants and merchants to defend the city.

The interest rate of the loan sharks owed by the people will be reduced, and if the interest has been repaid in excess of the principal, the interest will not be repaid, but the principal will be repaid directly.

If the private land sold to the nobles due to usury or other reasons, the nobles will return it, and the redeemed farmer can pay the principal of the usury borrowed that year.

These two items were mainly for the conditions on which the yeoman farmers and the former yeoman farmers in the city were willing to defend the city.

The fiefdom peasants who participated in the defense of the city were to be abolished from the obligation of public land, and their share of the land was granted to them personally, which could not be bought or sold or forcibly recovered for twenty years, and the taxes were paid to the original landowners: the princes or nobles.

This item is for the peasants in the city who are subordinate to the fiefdom to be willing to defend the city, and it is also to avoid intensifying the contradiction with the monarch - if all the land grant system is adopted and the land division system is abolished and the public land obligation is abolished, then it is equivalent to all the farmers becoming the farmers of the state, which is impossible for the nobles to accept, so the land rent must be handed over to the nobles in order to be accepted by the nobles.

All slaves who participated in the defense of the city would be exempted from the status of slaves, including various types of people such as sons-in-law, servants, and subordinates, as well as some slaves under the small family slavery system unique to Zhuxia under the feudal system.

The time of labor was reduced, and only ten days of labor were allowed to be conscripted each year, and no agricultural hours were allowed, and the part of the excess time was paid by the Zheng government for a certain amount of money; Aristocrats, wealthy merchants, and wealthy people were exempt from servitude by paying their wealth.

All these should be quite compromising conditions, and they are also the best choice for not falling into a stalemate in the short term and being able to quickly transfer Zheng Guo to a state of defending the city.

But even so, the nobles expressed considerable dissatisfaction after seeing these conditions.

These conditions of change, which were already quite compromised compared to Sishang, were considered by the nobles to be even more serious and unacceptable than the reform of the birth of the year.

At that time, the law of the birth change did not touch the foundation of the old system of the entire Zheng State, but only tinkered, which made the nobles oppose and forced the child to sigh "to make profits and live and die".

At that time, the policy implemented by Zisan was to clear the field, which was actually to appropriately rein in state power without touching the old rules.

The nobles only have military obligations to the monarch, and the land of the nobles does not need to pay taxes, and the more land the nobles occupy, the weaker the power of the center of the Zheng State.

According to the Zhou rites, if strictly implemented, in fact, the amount of land that the nobles can own is not much, how many people were there in Zhou at the beginning?

Under the colonial feudal system, land is not the problem, population is the problem, and the population is bound to the land is the foundation of the feudal system.

At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, there were too few people, so with the actual etiquette law formulated at that time, it was impossible for too many people to belong.

Therefore, even if he is a doctor, he has only a little land.

The corporal is like the benefit of the farmer, and the well field system is equivalent to eight taxes and one, and the upper farmer owns 100 acres of land, and the corporal has 800 acres of land to have the same income as the upper farmer - the corporal does not plow the land, he is a full-time samurai, so the upper farmer cultivates 100 acres, and the corporal wants to get the same income as the upper farmer, he must have 800 acres of land, or 300 acres of land and three slaves.

This mu is a small mu of the weekly system, and it is replaced by the current large mu, that is, more than 200 mu.

Sergeant Times, Sergeant Times, Lower Doctor Times...... By analogy, in fact, there are only about 1,000 acres of land in the next doctor.

This rule has long been over, because according to this rule, it may not be easy for the corporal to overcome, but a doctor can be overstepped.

In those years, Zi Chuan used the method of strictly abiding by the old rules to recover the land "encroached" by various aristocratic families and distribute it to those landless countrymen.

Immediately after the death of the child, his policy was liquidated, and the problem of land annexation brought about by the continued development of the productive forces in these years made the problem of the aristocracy's transgression even more serious.

Therefore, this strategy of change after the integration of the policy of childbirth was difficult for the aristocracy to accept, especially since many of the policies obviously made the people more powerful.

Some openings could not be opened, and the nobles were not unaware that if the people were no longer subordinate to the land and the nobles who owned the land, then the serfs in the fiefs of the nobility would be more inclined to flee; On the contrary, if everyone is the same and needs to be tied to the land, then there is not much contrast, and the old means of ruling can continue to be maintained.

However, what the Mo family pinched was when some nobles were the weakest.

Some nobles were unwilling, but some nobles who knew that once the city was broken, they would inevitably be killed, and the whole family had to be willing.

The Mo family used a very simple method to tear apart the interior of the aristocracy first.

Rao is like this, when these opinions were raised, some nobles objected: "Wei and Han besieged the city, and the society was in danger, but the common people still considered their own interests. At this time, we should first work with comrades to defend the capital, and then talk about everything after the city is defended. ”

"Taking advantage of the siege of Wei and Han to ask for these changes, this is all out of selfish interests, and bad public affairs for selfish interests, such people are villains!"

Xu Miao pressed his sword and stood up, sneering: "When the Wei Han army retreats, why should the people let you agree?" ”

The nobleman scolded: "Then you can't take advantage of the enemy country to fight for your own interests, what is this not treason?" What is this not a private affair? ”

Xu Wan said: "King Wen governs the government, and the people believe what he says; Dayu controls the water and orders the world not to disobey. Why can't you people defend the city support it? Isn't that your problem? If you do not reflect on yourselves, but you question the people, then I will tell you for the people, because the people do not trust you! ”

The nobleman said angrily: "The gentleman is righteous!" The villain is in profit! Your Mo family, like those common people, are villains! Defend the city for righteousness, not for profit! ”

"If you can defend the city for the sake of profit today, can't you open the gates of the city and surrender for the sake of profit tomorrow? If the people are allowed to benefit today, even if the city is defended, the society of Zheng Guo will perish in the future. ”

"Don't you hear that when Mi Zi was cheap and ruled his single father, the Qi army attacked Lu, and the wheat was outside the city, and Mi Zi would rather let the Qi people cut the wheat as military food, and did not agree with the people to cut the wheat while the Qi army was in the future, why?"

"Just because once the people are allowed to cut the wheat, then the people will not know etiquette, righteousness and shame in the future, but only profit. That kind of Lu country will still perish after all......"

This aristocrat is quoting classics to refute the Mohists' instigation of the people to take advantage of the siege of the city to fight for interests, the more he talks, the more excited he becomes, he is a cultural class, and he talks about allusions endlessly.

But as soon as he finished talking about Mi Zi's cheapness, one of the remnants of Si Ziyang's party stood up suddenly, pulled out the copper sword at his waist, and stabbed the nobleman in the chest with a sword.

Drawing out the sword, blood sprayed all around, and Xu Wan's face was also full of blood, but Xu Wan saw a lot, and he was unmoved, just stretched out his tongue and licked the blood on his lips and spit it out.

The leader of the remnants of the party of Si Ziyang also ignored Zheng Jun in front, took out his sword and cut off the head of the nobleman with a sword, held it in his hand, looked at the rest of the stunned nobles angrily, and said sharply: "Wei Han is besieging the city, and the society is in danger, but he is still saying these pedantic words, he should be killed!" ”

"The child is in the words, and the society is profitable, and life and death are based on it! I killed this person for the community, who is not convinced? ”

Those aristocrats who had a rather opposing look were silent, and each bowed his head, and the leader of the rest of the party of Si Ziyang held his head and knelt down to Zheng Jun and said: "The minister is guilty, but for the community!" ”

Zheng Jun hurriedly laughed and said: "But for the sake of Sheji, what is the crime?" ”

The rest of the nobles who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak looked at the blood shed and scolded secretly: "What are you high-profile? If the city is broken, you will die, so you can give up those interests, after all, life is the most important thing. Moreover, even if you give up these benefits, the king is already your puppet, and sooner or later you will have to control Zheng Guo, so naturally you don't look down on these small benefits. What should you do if you really want to do it for the sake of the community? ”

scolded like this in his heart, but he said: "This is the society, it is indeed not guilty, I will obey it!" ”
