The house is luxurious, with rosin and cypress green.

On the table is a porcelain cup that has just appeared in recent years and is quite sought after by the nobles of Fei country, which is full of crystal rice wine.

The dishes on the table are also quite affected by the technological changes in the world over the years, all kinds of seasonings that did not exist before, and all kinds of cooking dishes that have not been available but have long become a habit among the rich merchants and aristocrats in the world.

On the opposite side of the desk, there was a gorgeously dressed son, not anyone could call him a son, and not anyone was qualified to be a guest of Tian Rang under the identity of a sage and a famous businessman.

This son's name is Ji Sunluan, who is the prince of Fei Kingdom, but he is a concubine, and his mother is just a concubine, and his status is low.

Ji Sunluan is not a virtuous person, so he has the identity of a princess, his mother died early, and his status is low, so he was originally one of the people who could be bullied in the office.

A few years ago, a "fortuitous" encounter, Ji Sunluan and Tian Rang became strong and soon became friends.

Because Ji Sunluan's fief was too small and too poor, Tian Rang funded this "friend", and after surviving the difficulties, he and Ji Sunluan did some business together.

Most of this business is maintained by Tian Rang, in fact, it is mainly some business on Chu Yue's side, transporting some goods from Sishang to those places, and then transporting some urgently needed goods there.

After making some money, Tian Rang and Ji Sunluan partnered to open a workshop, the Mo family secretly supported and helped contact many craftsmen, and Ji Sunluan had a small fief, and the farmers above were also under his jurisdiction, Tian Rang recommended another "friend" to help Ji Sunluan carry out some reforms, so that Ji Sunluan's income increased day by day, and he was no longer the disgraced appearance of the year.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Ji Sunluan sighed with emotion through the strength of the wine: "If it weren't for you back then, where would I be where I am today?" Now the windows in my house are made of glass, there are dozens of servants, and there are a lot of profits and dividends every year...... How could I have thought that a few years ago? ”

Tian Rang smiled on his face, but said in his heart: "You naturally don't dare to think, if it weren't for the organization to let me get close to you, how would you know the skilled craftsmen needed for the construction of the workshop?" ”

Ji Sunluan didn't think about it so much, raised his wine glass and said in a mocking tone: "They say that my son is a businessman and a worker, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. Hahaha, I'm afraid that they just can't drink the wine and say that the wine is sour. How can my little fiefdom support such a life? They say it well, but they only talk about etiquette, not for profit? ”

He is naturally qualified to say this, after the workshop is established, the annual income is far better than the rent income of the fiefdom, and now Ji Sunluan is thinking about whether he can use the money in his hand to expand the workshop and expand the industry.

I leave this fief to future generations, and I am afraid that it will not take three or five generations to become a scholar who travels with a sword.

Nowadays, everything is false, only money is real.

As long as you have money, what can't you buy? Beauty, wine and meat, pearls and jade, there are more good goods in the world, but there is no money, but you can only watch.

Ji Sunluan was already a little drunk, so Tian Rang borrowed a reason and asked, "Do you know about the Mo family's book a few days ago?" ”

Ji Sunluan nodded and said, "Why don't you know?" It's being discussed in the city right now. Many people in the city have served in the Volunteer Division, and after returning, the Mo scholars have given lectures here. In recent years, taxes have increased again, and everyone has long been full of anger. Now that something like this has happened to Zhuhu again, the Mo family asked to save the people from the three troubles, and to send Meng Sheng as an envoy...... Hey ......"

Ji Sunluan laughed gloatingly: "I'm not afraid of anything." As far as the income from my fiefdom is concerned, it is okay to want it or not. If it really changes, they will be miserable. But it can't change, how Meng Sheng came, how to go back. ”

Some news, although Tian Rang has a reputation and fame, it is not as easy to know as Ji Sunluan after all.

Listening to Ji Sunluan's meaning, it seems that the nobles will definitely not agree to this matter, which is also expected.

Tian let himself be a secret ink master, and naturally thought that he was afraid that many people in the city were also secret ink people, and those farmers who had returned from the righteous master also had many clear ink masters, who often gathered to listen to lectures.

It can only be said that Fei Guo is too close to Sishang and too far away from Luoyang, the morality of the Mo family has spread rapidly in recent years, and coupled with Fei Guo's policy, it is already in an extremely delicate balance.

Because of the introduction of improved seeds, technology, and iron tools, the living standards of the people in the national capital have actually risen in recent years compared with the past, even if they have to pay the May Day tax in the past, the living standards are still stronger than before.

However, when they were in the army as a volunteer teacher, they saw the life of Sishang and listened to a lot of Mohist propaganda, and under this contrast, they had an extremely subtle way of thinking.

It's better than before, and what they want is not to be satisfied, not to be content with the status quo, or to thank the ink maker.

But I feel that my life is better than before, then it proves that I can definitely live better than I live now, Sishang is rich, and I am also a human being, why can I live well there, and I am just slightly better than before?

Under this dissatisfaction, they had to pay double the tax, and they also had to continue to bear the labor of repairing the palace and the city walls, and their hearts became more and more resentful.

Originally, repairing the city wall and the palace room was an obligation under the feudal system, which was a matter of course, but they had already heard too much propaganda that was not taken for granted, and when something was not taken for granted but was forced to do it, everyone had accumulated dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Across the house, no matter how much preaching and anger there was on the street, Tian Rang couldn't hear it.

But at this time, he felt that what was ringing in his ears was the sound of the roar of the fire, and the suppressed roar in the hearts of those who could not see it would probably be released soon.

And this opportunity for release is that Meng Sheng sent an envoy to Fei Guo this time, hoping that Fei Guo will reform the system to benefit the people of Fei Guo.

Of course, this is only a suggestion, and the monarch and nobles of the Fei Kingdom naturally have the right to refuse, but with the propaganda and incitement ability of the Mo family, these rejected reform clauses will soon cause a sensation in several cities of the Fei Kingdom.

Tian Rang has heard about the scene of slash-and-burn farming and setting fire to the mountain.

Once the grass and trees are yellow, the slightest spark will ignite the fire of the prairie fire, but the difficulty is how this fire can be controlled by the people who burn the wasteland.

If it's just to start a fire, it's actually very simple, Tian Rang has been in Fei for many years and knows the situation in Fei Guo.

Once the Chinese people riot, it will soon sweep through the Zhuyi of Fei State, and Tian Rang knows that it is impossible to stop Fei Guo to make arrangements.

It is not uncommon for the people to riot and kill the monarch and establish a new monarch, even in a country like Lu, which is a country of etiquette, it has happened a few times.

But if there is such a thing as a riot in the country, it will be completely different from the past.

In the past, it was a coup d'état led by the aristocracy, and the people of the country also recognized the identity of the aristocratic princes.

And now, in the eyes of the Mo family, all the words of heaven can be chosen, but what about the princes? The bloodline is completely meaningless, and Fei Guo is the most deeply influenced by the Mo family and is slightly out of control...... Tian Rang felt that the consequences were imaginable.

When the time comes, those anger and hatred, accompanied by the call to choose a wise man as the Son of Heaven, are likely to burn the king, cut off the heads of the nobles, and even declare that the country of Fei will "negotiate with all the people and rule with all the people" and practice the government of the republic.

This is nothing, Tian Rang didn't feel anything to regret about the possibility of the nobles dying and the monarch being killed.

It's just that when he returned to Pengcheng in the name of buying and selling before, he said this possibility, and he quickly replied to him.

Tian Rang understood the worries of the high-level of the Mo family, if it was really so intense, and it was meaningless to directly declare the hereditary monarch bloodline in the form of a republic, I am afraid that the world would be shaken.

Now that the Mo family's arrangements in various places have not yet been completed, once the matter here is resolved in the most drastic way, it is not as good as the Mo family finding an excuse to annex the Fei country by force, and it will not make the nobles of the world panic.

Therefore, the top level of the Mo family hopes that the matter of Fei Guo is best resolved in the form of a "coup d'état" within a controllable range.

The coup d'état, however, is also an informal means of transferring power in accordance with the original rules.

And if it really develops into the most uncontrollable step, the world will inevitably be in chaos, and the Mo family needs to use Sishang, which has not yet been fully integrated, to fight against the nobles and princes of the whole world, which is not the most favorable choice for the Mo family.

Tian Rang didn't know why the Mo family chose this time, and he didn't know how the situation in the world would change, but he believed that since he had received the order, he must do it well.

This person, who has been in contact with him a few years ago, is the key to the Mo family's intervention in the Fei country this time.

Tian Rang looked at Ji Sunluan and said with a smile: "You say, this time Meng Sheng came, if it was unacceptable because Shi Renzheng's persuasion could not be accepted, no one would hate him for taking advantage of others and assassinate him, right?" ”

Ji Sunluan shook his head, which was already a little drowsy from drunkenness, and said, "Who dares?" Don't you hear about Shenzhou's envoy to Song back then? ”

"When the king of Chuzhuang heard of Shenzhou's death, he threw himself up, and his entourage rushed to the front yard to send shoes, chased to the door of the dormitory before sending a sword, and chased to Puxu Street Market to let the king of Chuzhuang board the carriage."

"The Song people thought that there was Jin as their aid, and they dared to kill Shenzhou in anger. Fei, small countries also, who can help? If the Mo family is here, it is still possible to attack, and the more Qilu dares to swallow it. If you anger the Mo family, kill Meng Sheng...... I'm afraid that the Mo family will be able to break the city in a few days. ”

Ji Sunluan said with a smile: "But it seems that the Mo family does not mean to be tough. It is just for the Mo family's ideas of benefiting the world, asking for change for the people to apply for the suffering of the three tribulations. ”

It sounds like this should be the conclusion between the nobility.

Tian Rang smiled and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Ji Sunluan waved his hand and said, "The teacher is famous. The covenant is still there, the Mo family is trustworthy, and it cannot be said that they are innocent. ”

"Again, you and I both know that Meng Sheng is to the Mo family, not Shen Zhou to Chu. For a small fee, it is not enough to let a character like Meng Sheng take risks. If the Mo family really has a conspiracy heart, they can follow the story of Shenzhou. Even if Meng Sheng comes, there is no intention of being tough. ”

"This ...... This is the problem of the Mo family itself. All day long, I want to benefit the world, and I always say that as soon as this tiger building thing comes out, I heard that hundreds of fleeing Fei people petitioned, if they don't send people, they are afraid that they will not be able to get over on the face, so they are like this. ”

Ji Sunluan thought that the head of the analysis was the Tao, and felt that it must be like this.

That Shen Zhou's envoy was obviously a trap, and the King of Chu was looking for an excuse for Shen Zhou's death. Because Shen Zhou insulted Song Jun many years ago, and the King of Chu deliberately did not ask Song Guo to borrow the road, so the King of Chu would happily "throw himself up" when he heard the news of Shen Zhou's death.

Ji Sunluan doesn't know much about the Mo family, but he has also heard a little, and knows some of the internal systems of the Mo family, Meng Sheng's identity is not comparable to that of Shenzhou in Chu back then, and the Mo family is a collection of righteousness, and it is definitely not one person who can be determined.

In this case, it is obvious that the Mo family is not prepared to use anyone's death as an excuse, and the level of the envoy is so high, it is obvious that he really wants to admonish with good words, take a formality, and give an account to those petitioners: We have already sent people, but they don't listen, and we can't do anything......

Ji Sunluan said that, he applauded his cleverness again, and said with a smile: "The people are ignorant, and the Mo family just asked Meng Sheng to stop the mouths of those people on this trip." ”

Tian Rang's tone revealed a tone that seemed to be praise, and he raised his glass and praised: "Reasonable!" I didn't know that it was so. ”
