Chapter 52: Idle Chess and Cold Waiting for the Sky (I)

Emperor Sicheng saw that Mozi said solemnly, and also saluted Mozi, although he felt that Mozi was too stupid, he still couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Although he had agreed in his heart, he had not let go of his mouth, and only said that he wanted to ask Yu Junshang, but in fact he wanted to discuss it with his family.

But he still asked the city to stay, and once this matter was decided, he could let the city count the number and sign the contract.

only said that there would be a reply within seven or eight days, and Mozi also promised to give Sichenghuang a pair of corn, two sweet potatoes, and two potatoes, all of which were huge.

After the banquet was over, Emperor Si Cheng immediately called his son to inquire about this matter, and expressed some hesitations in his heart.

Huang Yueling asked rhetorically: "Father, can the ink be trustworthy?" ”

"A word from the ink man, it is difficult for a horse to chase his tongue."

"Father, can the ink be righteous?"

"If you talk about doing righteousness, go to the soup and go to the fire, and die without spinning."

"Father may use ink?"

"It's meaningless, it can't be used."

"Is the ink man talented?"

"Great talent, but he prefers to do righteousness."

"Father, if one day, Song Zheng belongs to us, and my father is willing to be hired by the Sanjin Dynasty?"

"Sanjin is no different from Chu. It can be used to take advantage of the situation but not to be relied upon. ”

"Father, are you ambitious?"

"You and I are both the veins of the Xuanniao and the queen of Shang Tang. Blood from heaven is not ambitious? ”

"Father, do you believe that the Mo's method of reforming cultivation is not reduced, and the taxes and fees are not reduced and are used sufficiently?"

"Mo Zhai said, who doesn't believe it?"

"Father, if Chu comes to attack, the three Jin soldiers have not arrived, and if there is no ink, can they hold for a long time?"

"I can't."

"Father, the endowment of Pei and Liu, can be compared with Tao and Shang?"

"All fifty times small, like the lake of the city than the Ze of He. It also needs to be prevented, but it is better than nothing. ”

"Father, is there anyone in Peidi who is willing to be a fief?"

"The east is close to the tiger and wolf, the south is adjacent to the big county of Chu, and the people of the hometown of Yang are fierce. If you want to sacrifice for a long time, you don't want to use it as a seal. Just like Chu Zhilu Yang is not subject to the girder. Land of the Four Wars. ”

"Father, if Pei and stay in Dazhi, the king may use Mo Zhai's righteousness?"

"Mo Zhai has already been famous, I can't compare, there is no need to use it as a credit. But if the king does not want to use Mo Zhai's righteousness to govern the country, Mo Zhai will not accept it. ”

"Father, if the Song Dynasty is returned to us one day, can I hope that the ink will govern the Song Dynasty?"

"Don't talk about righteousness, don't talk about non-attack, don't talk about non-fun, don't talk about funeral, don't talk about thrift, who doesn't want to use? Even if you don't talk about these things, if you use it, you will be jealous. Shang Xianzhi said that although the monarch is happy, he does not dare to use it, so as not to cause resentment and anger against Xiao Wall. ”

"Father, if you don't take ink as a minister, would you like to use ink as a general official?"

"The ink is trustworthy, a change in a few years, and the civil use is sufficient, such as the Ze of the fishing for several years, and after a few years, the number of poppies enters the net, and its harvest will be abundant."

"Father, who will cast the net in a few decades?"

"Hey ......"

"Father, the king will not go to the alliance in the future, there will be changes in the city, is my father willing to let Mo Zhai's people be in the city?"

"I don't want to see it unless I have to. His great righteousness is like a scorching sun, cold and piercing ice, and he cannot be disrespectful, lest his disciples be ashamed of it and do five steps of blood splattering. ”

Huang Yueling didn't ask anymore, bowed down and said, "In this case, the son is stupid, and I really don't know what the father has to hesitate about." ”

The doubts in Si Chenghuang's heart disappeared, and he laughed and said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have hesitated for a few days." That being the case, I will go out of the city to-morrow to meet the king. ”

According to the ancient system of the Song Dynasty, when there was no siege or special circumstances, the Song Duke built a palace two miles southeast of Shangqiu City, not living in the city, in order to show the difference of status.

After laughing, he talked about following Mozi to the banquet, only saying that the Mo family had another person who could take charge of himself, and said that he didn't know what he could do.

Huang Yueling remembered what she had heard in the past few days, and said with a smile: "Father, that person is teaching people to plant winter wheat in the village community. Not to mention those strange grains and rice, it is the method of lodging wheat, and the land can be harvested twice a year without increasing the land. Of course, the ink can take advantage of this to do righteousness, and do not reduce taxes. Two revenues a year is to turn tithes into twenty-one taxes. ”

It was the first time Si Chenghuang heard about it, and asked, "Isn't it dry in winter?" ”

"The man said it was not withered, or it was not withered."

"Oops! If so, wouldn't he have fallen for Mo Zhai's scheme? In this way, two taxes can be collected every year, one in summer and one in autumn, so why should these ink writers be allowed to do righteousness? ”

When Huang Yueling heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Father, don't do it." Let's not talk about when to plant? When will I receive it? What to plant after the May harvest? These methods are in the hands of those ink people, and now they don't know if they can succeed and raise taxes, and the ink people will be angry. ”

Si Chenghuang snorted: "What about anger? Since they are doing righteousness in the world, if I raise taxes, they should promote this method of harvesting, otherwise wouldn't those scoundrels all starve? If I raise taxes first, how about the ink pressers promote it? ”

"Father, do righteousness in the world, not righteousness in the Song Kingdom. He has this ability, and he has those grain seeds, and there are some whimsical and labor-saving things. Take the seeds to Qin, and the king of Qin will be happy; Go to Sanjin, Sanjin will fight; Go to Yanqi, Yanqi will be strong...... Father can't miss such an opportunity for the sake of temporary gain. Ten years later, Song Zhishu farmers all use this method, and it's not too late to add more! ”

Emperor Si Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Thinking of these grains and not being able to collect them, I am really unwilling." Why does such a character have to be inkers, and he has to do righteousness? How good should it be for my subordinates to like Yulu? Extraordinary people in this world, are they all stupid or stupid? ”

Huang Yueling sighed mournfully: "For such people, it's not that they don't like Yulu, but what they like is righteousness, not gold, copper, and stone." Mo Zhai doesn't have much gold and copper, but Keyi is full of body, he can use these people. Father, I also thought that if hundreds of ink people were all retainers, why did they plan like this? ”

…………

The struggle between the ruling class and the ruled class has never stopped, and both sides are constantly learning and improving, but with the arrival of the right time, the speed of progress on both sides has been artificially interfered with.

Until then, regime change had only circulated within aristocratic circles. Whether it is the rebellion of the ninth generation of the Song Dynasty, the Jin Qu Wo Daiyi, or even the ongoing division of the three Jin families or the Tian dynasty, they are all jokes in the aristocratic circle.

In the 800 years of watching the Zhou, there has never been a prince and a prince who has no kind of thing.

Under the rules, people's thinking has become fixed, and they never think about what they are going to do will be detrimental to them.

And if it is put in the future generations, it will be snuffed out by the mature ruling class as soon as it has just appeared, and it is impossible to have such an opportunity, let alone ask for a land in a grand manner.

The nobles are still advancing at the original speed, but they don't know what they learned in the academy in their previous lives, and they can be summed up in nothing more than three things: the theory of universal rebellion, the compilation of actual battles of rebellion, and the reconstruction of the foundation of the wasteland.

Of course, the first two could have been reversed, but if they lacked the bloodline of reverse refining, they had to go with the flow. Third, if you want to reverse the refining, you need to use the first two books of the reverse refining as the foundation to completely erase and ignorize the crowd.

In Shi's view, what the ink maker lacks is the first one, and the last two are still very basic.

After Mozi's death, the debate of the Mo family debated issues all day long, imaginarily it should be a question of white horses and non-horses. But in reality, it's like this: Is there a length of time? Does light travel in a straight line? Who can decide the origin between the universal and the particular? Is there still volume after dividing an object infinitely? Can the volume be compared to the area? Why is the definition of a circle the same length? Is it possible to define volume, area, time, matter, in the same way that Zimozi defines a circle? Is the universe an infinite unity of time and space? How to explain the imaging of plane mirror and concave mirror with the principle of straight line propagation? The reason why the force form is exciting, so is the force the cause of the motion of the object or the cause of the change of motion of the object?

After Mozi's death, the Mo family's dependent king was a faction of officials and peaceful evolution, and the question they considered all day was as follows: how to maximize the efficiency of the military production capacity? How to make the best use of people? How to divide the Shiwu for easy management? How to plan a battle for the defense of a city in a comprehensive way? How to improve the morale of the defenders? How to prevent the enemy from attacking by digging holes and building platforms? What to do with the enemy with smoke? What to do with the enemy with a rushing car? What to do with the enemy with a hook? How to use pulleys, grinding wheels and other means in the manufacture of weapons? How do you normalize weights and measures to ensure production standards?

After reading the simplest article "Preparing Holes", it is a "Guide to Tunnel Warfare", all kinds of technical details of digging tunnels without collapsing, even the precautions of biological and chemical weapons are introduced, and there are even potions specially used to wash smoky eyes.

The only thing that is lacking is a route that can be implemented, and this is the biggest hidden disagreement between Shi and Mozi.

He should have prepared for the future line struggle now, so after returning from the Sicheng Imperial League, he decided to invite some of the ink masters to dinner.

The life of the ink artist is too hard, and he wants to be the one who improves the overall living standard of the ink scholar under the premise of conforming to the general righteousness of the ink master, so as to become a little secretary who is loved by everyone of the ink scholars, rather than a bitter ink man who only knows how to do righteousness and understands the will of heaven.

Shijia Dolphin is still in the Sicheng Imperial Mansion, and the matter of Peiyi may have to wait for a while, as long as it is before the spring planting.

Mozi told Shi that in ten days, all the Mozi would gather to discuss the issues of victory, great righteousness, and small righteousness, as well as the authority of the giant.

These ten days belong to themselves.

He has just become an ink artist now, and although he has done several amazing things, everyone still doesn't know much about him.

Back at home, Lu Hua and Liuzhi were eating with their brother and sister-in-law, eating tofu, and the brother and sister-in-law ate with relish and praised them repeatedly.

There was a pair of grinding discs piled up outside, and there was a little money left in his hand.

walked to the place where he ate, picked up the spoon and ate a few bites, and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I will be an ink artist in the future." There are too many things to do, and the family may not be able to take care of them. I once said that if I had money in the future, I would definitely buy a silk dress for my sister-in-law, but I am afraid I would not be able to do it. ”

The sister-in-law chewed a piece of soft tofu, swallowed it and teased: "Look, I have long said that I can't wear it in my life." ”

Lu Hua interjected on the side: "It is suitable to say, there is no destiny." ”

Everyone at the table laughed, or laughed at her, or laughed at her, and she was not allowed to be said about him.

Shi smiled and pointed to the old tofu in the crockpot and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I, who have become an ink maker, may not be rich, but I will give you this way to make money." It is often said that it is better to give people a fishing net than to give a fish, and this way to make tofu is a fishing net. There are a lot of nobles in the city, and if you do well, you can have some money in three or five years. ”

The sister-in-law thought of what she said before she went to Hamayama and asked, "That's what you said at the beginning?" ”

"What else could it be? When the time comes, my brother will make shoes, and you will get up early and make some tofu. Now this thing, even the princes and nobles can't eat it, and it's not a problem to sell it for some money. What do you think it tastes like? ”

Everyone at this table nodded and praised, even if Lu Hua Six Fingers had eaten it once, they still felt that it was really delicious in the world. How can those round beans be made like this?

Shi's brother and sister-in-law were relieved, and yesterday they heard that Shi followed Mozi to the Sicheng Imperial Palace, obviously to do something big. These days, they also know that the ink man acts, that is, the ability of Mozi, it is still corn, it seems that the ink man can only do things, and he can't make any money.

Since my brother can think about himself, this is enough to be gratifying. Besides, if there are only seven or eight tofu in the city, you can definitely make some money, who doesn't want to eat it?

is so soft and smooth, with leeks, I think I'm afraid that Zhou Tianzi will eat it like this.

After talking for a while, he finally got down to business.

"I will install the millstone today, and in a moment I will go to the market to buy a donkey, and some beans. There are also some wheat flour brought from the village community, and I ask my sister-in-law to help, and I will have a banquet tomorrow. ”

Mu raised his head and said strangely: "Mo Shi doesn't talk about food and clothing, eat such good things, don't Mr. Mo Zhai think that you are a person who likes to eat and drink?" Isn't it okay? ”

Shi smiled slyly and said, "It's not good today, but I'll promise it tomorrow." ”
