Chapter Fifty-Eight: Killing
When these merchants passed through the city gates, a slight bribe was allowed to pass, ostensibly loaded with some wheat flour or wine, and this was the goods of the Mo family's "grocery store", and the soldiers defending the city were not willing to inspect it, so they let it go at will.
Tian Rang is a secret inkman, and his identity cannot be disclosed.
However, the Mo family is in Fei country, and there are also some ink artists who are active in public identity, and they never shy away from their identity as ink artists, without covering.
Mills, grocery stores, and artisan skills exchanges...... There are many of these clear organizations in the country.
For example, the people who run the soy products shop may not all be ink makers, but they must have participated in the artisan guild, which divides the city into several districts in a manner similar to guilds, each selling in its own district.
If you want to find ink, go to the tofu shops in major cities, and most of them will be able to follow the vine.
In addition, there are some mills for water conservancy machinery and grocery stores selling small loans for salt and iron tools, which are basically the "dens" of the Mo family.
One is that the people need to grind and come and go often, so they can naturally promote something; Second, grocery stores can make small profits, so that the people can benefit, so as to gain more favor.
The horse-drawn wagons loaded with gunpowder slowly drove into a grocery store in the commercial area that was clearly the stronghold of the Mo family, which was a large area of shops, as well as mills and other equipment, and was also a place where the people's market gathered as a "village school".
In the past, Zheng Guo's children did not destroy the township school, and Zhong Ni was more famous. The Mo family was founded here, and the force was strong, and it was difficult for Fei Guo to oppose it directly, so he could only turn a blind eye.
After the carriage drove in, the people in the car walked into the store and shouted at a middle-aged man in his thirties: "Xu weak, I have received the goods!" ”
The middle-aged man named Xu Miao only glanced at it, saw that it was an acquaintance, knew that it was someone from the family, and saw that there were local people next to him, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a cup of tea first......
As they spoke, the two of them walked into a secret room at the back, where they were guarded.
Xu Miao is a native of Sishang, and he also joined the Mo family early, and he can be regarded as a figure who can leave a name in history if he is not suitable.
Originally, because of Wu Qi's dying plan, Meng Sheng and other ink people were all wiped out in Yangcheng, and before this, Xu Miao had asked Meng Sheng: If you do this, the Mo family will be extinct!
At that time, Meng Sheng was a giant, and to be a giant, he had to be reasonable, and he had to grasp the right to interpret ideology, so he told Xu Weak: Although we are dead, when the world thinks of loyalty, promises, strict teachers, and good friends, they will first think of our Mo family. In this way, there will be more princes and ministers who use the Mo family, and they can subtly influence them, so that it is possible to let them do the righteousness of the Mo family. If we don't die, then no one will use the people of the Mo family, and the righteousness of the Mo family will not be able to continue!
At that time, there was no idea of "armed struggle", and due to limitations, Meng Sheng's idea could not be said to be wrong, so he persuaded Xu Xiao.
Xu Miao sighed because of this: "That's the truth. Since this is the case, death can make the righteousness of the Mo family flourish, so when defending the city and counterattacking the assault, please let me die first, let me be righteous first!
So sure enough, Xu Miao took the lead in counterattacking in the battle to defend the city, and died under the city first, and he must have been relieved before he died, because he believed Meng Sheng's words, and the death of his own people was for the righteousness of the Mo family and for the better benefit of the world.
But the reality of this time, the present of this moment...... Meng Sheng is not a giant, a giant is a fowl; It is not those who have the right to interpret righteousness and how to do righteousness, but those who have been in charge of the Xuanyi Department and the compilation of the "Book of Ink" for more than ten years.
Xu Weak can practice Meng Sheng's line of sacrificing his life to take righteousness so that the princes and nobles can use the Mo family to benefit the world, and now he can also practice the appropriate route of using violence to eliminate the princes and nobles to build a happy land to benefit the world.
This line struggle was already won when Mozi was still alive; After the expanded Mojia Synonym Meeting, which paved the way for Mozi's death, the influence of the scholars was already weak.
Xu Xiao's task now is to promote business in the capital of Fei Guo, because this is to "benefit the world". Is it okay to die, but so?
After Xu Miao welcomed the man into the dark room, the man took out a jade talisman, even if he was an old friend with Xu Wan, he could only speak after closing it.
After the jade talisman was tightly sealed, the man said: "A total of 1,500 catties of gunpowder, 1,000 guns, and some iron swords and spears." It will be sent in the future. ”
"Cannon...... Not anymore. The gunners of the few cannons defending the city in the city are all our people. This is the picture of the city......"
After speaking, he took out a carefully hidden picture from his arms, and after unfolding it, it was real.
The palace, the commercial market, the fort, the arsenal, the treasury, and the road are clear, Xu was overjoyed, and said curiously: "How is this drawn?" ”
The man smiled and whispered, "Last time, didn't you send someone here to show the nobles the flying orb?" His disciples went up to paint in person, all of them have a geometric foundation, and the group of disciples who have studied with him for more than ten years, if they can't draw this, then can they pay it back? ”
Xu Miao suddenly realized that the flying ball demonstration, which caused a sensation among thousands of people, was also a big deal in the Fei country, and it was only to expand the influence of the Mo family at that time, after all, it was something that happened more than a year ago.
Who would have thought that it would be ready at that time?
The man saw Xu Wan's expression of admiration, and said with a smile: "Take precautions, this is one of the words that the giant commented on back then, which is recorded in the Book of Ink." He should be shocked by this matter, but since he is in charge of this matter, there is no need to be shocked. ”
Xu Miao nodded, with a hint of admiration, and said, "That's right." What else is indicated above? Now the situation in the city is fine, people's hearts are fluctuating, and the resentment is deep. Meng Sheng is coming, shouldn't he publicize the harsh government of Fei at this time? ”
The person who came smiled and shook his head, took out a letter from his arms and said: "Before I came, Shi told me that the affairs of Fei Guo are only based on two words. ”
Xu Qiaoqi said: "Which two words?" ”
"Kill! Hold first, kill later. ”
After that, he handed over the letter, and carefully explained the meaning of the fit to Xu Wan, Xu Wan listened to it, and patted his legs and praised it.
…………
Two days later, a group of farmers were lining up to grind here, and a few people were paying back the money they had paid for salt on credit, complaining there.
Now that the price of grain is not high and the taxes are high, these farmers who have returned from retirement from righteous teachers scolded: "If you really want to fight, don't you have to rely on righteous teachers?" The righteous teachers are all paid by the Mo family, and those silverfish still ask us to collect the endowment, which is really insatiable! ”
A few people next to him also scolded, this tax is different, the tax is for military purposes, and this tax is unreasonable. The nobility did not have to pay taxes, which made people even more angry.
In the open space outside the mill, a group of people sat on the ground and shouted at Xu Wan: "Xu Qiao, read the newspaper from the previous days." ”
Most of these people know a hundred and ten words, but the newspaper is expensive nowadays, and it is generally read by the general public, and few ordinary people buy it, which makes these readers of the Mo family much more important.
After returning from the volunteer service, the people often came in groups to listen to the "reading newspaper" in their spare time.
Some are the situation in the world, some are scandals of the nobility of various countries, and some are very practical farming skills, all kinds of things.
Accustomed to this, this has become one of the daily lives of the people of the national capital, and this grocery store and mill has become a gathering place for the people.
Xu Miao picked up a newspaper, and the people below suddenly quieted down.
They are Chinese and peasants, but they have also served in the volunteer division for three years, and although they have returned, their discipline is still there, which is an advantage that other Chinese people cannot match.
After calming down, Xu Miao said: "What I read today is an article by the Mo family's deputy Ju Zishi, called "The Three Tribulations of the Sighing Waste". You all know what the three troubles of the people are, right? ”
Everyone said in unison: "I know, Zi Mozi said that you can't eat if you're hungry, you can't wear clothes when you're cold, and you can't rest from your work......"
Xu Wei nodded, and read this article that was launched by building a fugitive farmer in Tiger City, hoping for the change of Fei Guo.
As before, it is easy to understand, the difference between the Xuanyi Department and the Ink Debate is that the Ink Debate talks about theories and debates with hundreds of schools, and the audience is high-level intellectuals; The Xuanyi Department, which was set up by Shi Yi, is oriented to agriculture and industry, and the articles are all written in spoken language, which is extremely easy to understand.
These 20 years of training and many experiences in previous lives have made the articles suitable for writing more and more inflammatory.
However, this article, unlike the past, is full of "hope", and while calmly analyzing, it also fills everyone who hears it with a desire for a post-reform life, and even uses a large content to describe the good life that ordinary people can have after the change in a way that is like the poem of "Promised Land" back then.
As Xu Xiao, who has been infiltrated by suitable articles for more than ten years, he can see the difference in this article at a glance.
In the past, most of the suitable articles were because of A, so B may or may not be.
However, this article does not have a possible or impossible argument at all, but is full of "what kind of life will you live if you change".
It is completely based on "if", without too many exclamations, and with the content of the last large white description, it is more incendiary than those handouts.
The effect was remarkable, because after Xu Miao heard that one person listened, he patted his thigh and scolded: "Damn, it's so good." This is the life of man! ”
Another said, "I'm afraid those silverfish won't change." Look at those gadfly and horseflies, are there any who don't drink blood? ”
sighed at the man: "It should be possible, right?" This time, Meng Sheng came in person. Meng Sheng, that's a candidate for enlightenment, there are tens of thousands of ink people in the world, but there are only more than ten people. Back then, he was just the leader of the Xuanyi Department, not even the enlightenment. In this battle, the king should agree. Isn't it all written on it, but it's actually good for the monarch. ”
After finishing speaking, the man looked at Xu Weak and said, "Xu Weak, do you think this time the change can be done?" Although we are still far from it, we are much better off than those who have sealed the fields. I cried when I heard the article a few days ago, it's really bitter......"
Xu Miao smiled, thinking about the word "killing", and nodded: "I think it can also be successful." This change requires an analysis of the pros and cons. In the past, it may be that the monarch did not know how to change, so he could not change. Now that the Mohists have written out how to change, they can do it the same way, which can benefit the country, why not change? ”
"What is a monarch? Isn't it for the benefit of the country? The content of these changes is beneficial to the country everywhere, and I think this truth is very clear, where is there any reason not to change? ”
"I also thought about it, if it was really a change, this day would be really better. You've also been to Sishang, do you say Sishang isn't rich? If the change is successful, the wealth of a country will increase, which will also benefit the king, and it will definitely change, right? ”
People always believe what they want to believe, Xu weak's words made many people who are not so radical nod, and naturally a few people shook their heads and said: "I don't think so, those silverfish are only afraid of change!" ”
Xu Miao thought to himself, these radical people naturally don't need to publicize more. When it really came time to use the gunpowder weapons hidden in the warehouse, these people who scolded the silverfish would only laugh out loud, Lao Tzu had long said that they were unreliable, and then picked up the musket that was already familiar to the righteous master and smashed open the door of the palace.
And those who still hold fantasies are the ones who should be promoted, otherwise they will still hold fantasies when the door is slammed.
The purpose of propaganda is to bring one's own family members closer and let those who are not yet members of their own family become their own family members.
This time, the preaching of hope without handouts is to let the hope of getting better and better be pierced in the future, and to turn those who still have hope into despair.
Therefore, I hope to depict as beautiful as possible, and the beauty makes people feel that it is within reach and close at hand.
It's a hold.
And the enemy will help with the final step of this propaganda and personally set fire to the hay under his ass...... The enclosed, greedy and cruel aristocracy is actually the largest group of "full-time revolutionaries".
