On the way back, on the side of the ditch between Qianmo, the children were either looking for black sweetness, or competing with turtledoves for sweet mulberries, and their mouths were either black or purple.

The smoke of the cooking stove between the castles dared to waft before the sun set, and most people could not afford to use the lamps and candles at this time, so they could only eat dinner while there was still a faint light.

Push open the creaking firewood door again and put the firewood and grass away.

The mushroom was handed to the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law pinched a few, but I don't know if the mushroom was sweet or felt that the uncle had finally done something, no longer had a cold face, and said "eat"!

When I returned to the house, I finally saw my eldest brother with my own eyes, who was about the same size as himself, but his waist was a little bent early, and he left traces of making shoes all year round.

The elder brother, named Muntjac, held a piece of tanned animal skin in his hand, as if wondering whether to use it on the upper or the sole of the shoe.

The sister-in-law passed a mushroom from the back of his neck and found the location of the mouth tacitly and accurately. The muntjac didn't look up, and obediently opened his mouth to swallow the clam.

After chewing a few bites, he threw the tannin aside, looked up and asked, "You went to collect firewood and grass in the afternoon?" ”

"Well, I thought I would do something for the family."

Muntjac nodded, and only said the same thing as his wife.

"Eat."

After speaking, he put away all kinds of shoe-making tools and wiped his hands.

Shi felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and in his memory, this brother rarely spoke, and today he always felt as if he wanted to stop talking. It's like a drop of water on a tree's leaves in the morning, no matter how you look at it, you can't wait until the sun rises high and evaporates clean.

The smell of rice wafted from the side, and Shi didn't think much about it anymore and began to eat the first meal in this world.

The corn cooked in the three-legged clay pot is probably not carefully washed to retain the fragrance of the corn.

There is a small piece of salted fish on it, naturally without oil. Next to it is a pot of soup boiled with green cabbage leaves and salt water, and the vegetables in it are the mainstream vegetables at this time, okra.

In the house of the Shuren, corn is rice, and bean leaves are soup.

Next to the clay pot are a few very beautiful spoons, and civilians rarely use chopsticks, even if they use chopsticks, they must be very particular.

Nobles should have forks, spoons, chopsticks, knives, etc., each tableware has its own purpose, which is a kind of aristocratic etiquette.

For example, when eating corn and rice, you must use a spoon instead of chopsticks, and you must use chopsticks to eat soup according to the situation: if there are vegetable leaves, you can't use a spoon, you must use chopsticks to pick them up and eat; On the other hand, if there are no vegetable leaves in the soup, you must not use chopsticks.

The so-called soup with vegetables should be used, and no vegetables should not be used; Don't use rice with a chopstick.

This is also doomed, even if you get a surname in the future, you will not be able to enter the upper class, and the rules of eating a meal will be laughed to death and become the laughing stock of the upper class.

There were so many things to do, he didn't have time to spend a few years learning etiquette.

Even if it is in your own home, there is not so much etiquette, so you can pick up the spoon and eat, and use the spoon to scoop up the salted okra and use it for the following rice.

After a busy afternoon, Shi was also hungry. The corn has no taste, the salted fish is a little smelly, and the vegetable leaves are watery, but they can also be eaten.

Halfway through eating, the muntjac suddenly said, "Brother, I'm not happy that you went to collect firewood and grass." ”

Shi was stunned for a moment, the spoon stopped at his mouth, and he didn't know why his brother was unhappy.

"My parents went early, so I'd be glad if you learned to make shoes or help with something else in the morning. You should remember that you said that you didn't want to make shoes and wanted to do something big, and I only advised you once, and I haven't persuaded you since. ”

Shi recalled for a while, it was true, I didn't know what the eldest brother meant, and he didn't reply, just nodded.

"Yes, this is like making shoes."

"A piece of leather, what kind of shoes to make, before cutting the skin, must be set. If you're halfway through it and want to change it, what's the use of this piece of skin? ”

"Now Mozi is lecturing in the city, but you don't cherish it, at this time, or thinking of home, isn't it like a piece of leather that has been made into half of the shoes? If you want to do something, just do it, otherwise what you did before will not be useless? ”

Shi quietly glanced up at his sister-in-law, thinking that his sister-in-law was going to say something like "it is natural for him to do these things" at this time, but he didn't want to look up and find that his sister-in-law was just eating there, and he didn't say anything, and his expression didn't change much, just pulled a piece of salted fish into her husband's crockpot.

"Brother, I didn't change my mind, but Mozi didn't give a lecture in the afternoon, so I went to pick up some firewood and grass. Besides, in the morning, Mozi also said that I can carve jade, which is true, if you don't believe it, ask those people. ”

"Really?"

He couldn't believe it, what kind of character was Mozi? Even if his younger brother is smart, it is impossible to get a beautiful evaluation in such a short time.

Shi scratched his head and told the story of the morning, but the source of the story was hidden, and this joke about buying shoes, which was not funny in Shi's opinion, drew bursts of laughter from his brother and sister-in-law.

After a while, the muntjac said again: "That's good." Know what you're going to do, don't change it halfway through. By the way, your sister-in-law made you a new dress, and you can wear it when you go to the lecture again, and then try to see if it fits. ”

Shi Yi smiled: "I am a scholar of ink, not a scholar, so I don't need to wear new clothes." Mozi all wear short brown. However, thank you, sister-in-law, when I have money in the future, I will definitely make you a piece of brocade first. ”

The sister-in-law snorted and said, "Excuse me, I'm afraid of wearing hot skin." ”

The muntjac also laughed a few times, but he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't mention the rest of the things.

After eating, and there was no light to light again, I went back to my room while it was still a little dark.

On the planks was a pile of soft wheat straw, which was his own bed, and beside it lay a sackcloth shirt, which fitted properly.

He carefully collected the small packet of seeds, nestled in the wheat straw, and rubbed his shoulders, although he was tired, it was too early to sleep.

With his hands behind his head and his legs crossed, he pondered what had happened today, and the idea of peace had already been made up in the morning.

The so-called courage or wisdom is never to complain about the unchangeable, it has come to this, and that's it.

Thinking about the conversations I had with the farmers in the afternoon, I felt that even with all the wonderful ideas, with the current level of agriculture, there was no chance of implementing many things even if they were made.

At this time, there are many deep mountains and old forests, and there are many inaccessible places, but they are too far away. These seeds are so important that if you rely on yourself, it will take at least three or two years to watch this bag of seeds turn into baskets of seeds without doing anything, and you have to worry about being snatched away.

You can't do it on your own. Not to mention whether to rob or not, even if you run into the deep mountains and old forests, what will you eat in the past two or three years?

When eating at home, my brother and sister-in-law can raise an idler, but if I go out, the cost is not something my brother and sister-in-law can afford.

After thinking about it, that bag of seeds is still the key to breaking the game, and if you want to protect that bag of seeds to become your own weight instead of being forcibly taken away by others, you must rely on the power of the Mo family and must also become a formal ink person.

In the troubled times, you can't take one step at a time, and you feel that you have to plan where you should go in the future.

Although the Mohist ideology has great historical limitations and many unreliable places, it is still more willing to believe in the Mohists than those meat eaters and aristocrats.

Looking for orthodox Confucianism, the thing about crops is "villain".

It is not possible to find the correction of Confucianism of the Xihe School, the power of the Wei clan is too great, and the Wei State produces talents, but the Wei State rarely uses talents.

Yang Zhu's group of people are liberals and can't do anything.

The Mo family is more like a Leviathan than them, at least they understand that in this troubled era, only centralized power can make things happen, as long as they dig out a few dross and loopholes.

In addition to these cross-border political forces, there are also those vassal states, but if you think about it, you can't count on it.

Even if the Qi State built the Jixia School Palace in the future, it was to prove the legitimacy of the Tian family's generation of Qi, and the real imperialism was only very average in terms of high prestige.

The fame of the Jixia School Palace is made by engaging in the five elements of yin and yang, the good and evil of human nature, and the knowledge that he knows will not be valued by the Jixia School Palace in the future.

When you go to Qin, you can only be a loyal dog, and outsiders who have no power are Qin Jun's favorite loyal dogs, and they are bloodlet to appease the nobles when needed, and the seesaw that the monarch uses to balance the domestic nobility.

South Korea is Wei's follower, and Zhao is also having a hard time at this time, these two countries can only fight with Wei if they want to break the situation, even if Wu Qi leaves in the future, those Wei soldiers left behind are enough for Wei to waste a period of time.

For the rest, the Yan State is too poor, the Yue State is too barbaric, the Chu State is too many Xiaoxi Zhou feudal monarchs, and the Lu State is too conservative......

As for the Song Kingdom, it is simply a dead land, sandwiched in the middle of a big country, and can only pretend to be a grandson, and if he rises slightly, he will be pinched to death by the rest of the family......

No matter where you go in the future, these problems must be faced and solved, which must ensure that you have an independent and independent power in your hands with the monarch and the feudal monarch, otherwise it will be a dead end or abandon it after use, and the Mohist organization happens to be a perfect force that can be borrowed.

Once Mozi passes, the position of the giant will definitely be passed to Yu Huali, whether it is in terms of seniority or prestige, this is inevitable.

But Yu Huali and Mozi are also teachers and friends, and they are too old, so it's just a transition.

After that, Meng Sheng and Tian Xiangzi, Meng Sheng gave up the righteousness and took the small righteousness to die in the game set up by Wu Qi before his death, this is the key, no matter what, Meng Sheng cannot be made a giant of the Mo family.

Now that I think about it, Meng Sheng should be about the same age as himself, or he should be a teenager and limited, and he still has a chance.

Once Mozi and Bird Slippery passed away, he gained Mozi's trust and grasped the power to compile the Book of Ink......

can be the Bernstein of the Mo family, and the Mozi who changed the Mo family doctrine wants to hack himself to the point where he wants to kill himself, then a big thing can be done.

Counting up, Mozi is old and can live for a maximum of ten years; It was still twenty or thirty years before Wu Qi was shot to death and Meng Sheng was deceived and martyred by the nobleman Xiaoyi.

The Mo family is full of talents, and how to stand out is the top priority, and the immediate urgency is to do a few things to let Mozi accept himself as a personal disciple and become a formal Mo master.

Racking his brains to recall the history he knew, and I don't know how long it had passed, and the room was pitch black.

There was a faint sound of haze and babbling from next door.

Shi smiled helplessly, covered his ears and lay in the straw, trying with difficulty to sleep, which was an easy task.

Although the wheat straw is soft, it will sting people after all.

Looking at the world, whoever is in the wheat straw, but thinks about the general trend of the world, I am afraid that the only one is himself.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head abruptly.

Before going to bed, he thought: "After soaking hemp tomorrow, I will find an opportunity to go to Mozi to listen to his lectures, and say a few more amazing words, so that I can blend in with the Mo family earlier." In the future, when Mozi dies, you can come however you want. ”

"First pretend to be a ten-year short brown coat, a soup of quinoa, and a fanatic who will benefit the world."

However, he didn't know that Mozi had left Shangqiu, nor did he know that the major event that had happened in the Qi State had affected the trend of the entire early and middle Warring States period.

So, I had a good dream.
