Chapter 345: Tian Yuan Forced and Cornered Teng (5)

Shi nodded, dipped his hand in some water, and casually drew two lines on the wooden table: "Surabaya and Heshui are too good from Lu." Danshui passes through Pengcheng from Meng Zhuze. ”

"Nowadays, iron cattle ploughing and composting for two seasons and improved varieties are used in the Song Kingdom. It is not easy to transport grain, so it can only be transported along the river. ”

"The Taoyi of Heshui is down, and the grain is continuously concentrated in Pei. The iron and cotton cloth of Peidi went up the river to exchange for food. ”

"The Songdi city in the Danshui Valley is the same."

"The grain that Peidi is accumulating now, I am afraid that a county official like Luyang will know about it and will be scared to death. Within three to five years, even if there is a severe drought in Peidi for three years, it will be enough to ensure that no one will starve to death. This is what has been achieved in the past ten years of promotion and ten years of absorption. ”

"Is 30,000 catties of grain for a cannon of copper? Not much! But ......"

Shi Feng changed his words and said: "But in Peidi, in Songdi, where can corn be sold for thirty yuan?" Now the price of grain is supported by the means of exchanging iron tools for grain, and once the repayment is completed, the price of grain in Song Land will suddenly be low. ”

"Casting cannons requires copper, and there is no way to use iron to cast a cannon that is suitable for field warfare, not to mention me, and I don't have that ability."

"Although there is a lot of grain, I want to exchange it for copper, but how can I change it? Transported by land, everyone knows that there is a great hunger in the year, but how much do you have to eat on the way when the grain is transported? What price do you need to sell grain from Peidi to Kwai and Yong so that the merchants will not lose money? ”

"Making Xuanlin pearls and spirits is several times more profitable, and it is easy to transport and store, so that we can continuously obtain the raw materials that the righteous teachers urgently need."

"Only when a righteous teacher is strong can he change the world."

"Change the world, the world can be everywhere with the Surabaya River."

"Now those farmers from all over the world may be more exploited by the greed of the princes and nobles, but one day we will let those princes and nobles cease to exist in order to achieve the Promised Land."

"The root is not the liquor of Xuanlin, but the feudal land system. If we don't solve this root, we should have mercy on the people of the world on the basis of retaining this root, which is not what a writer should do. ”

"Don't I have compassion?"

"I have it too, but I know how the world can be so profitable. Now, can you find a way to show the compassion of the Mohists and change the world? If you can't, you have to support me and agree with me! ”

"The city dolphin is here, and there are a lot of gold and copper needed for reality, can you solve it?"

Gao Sunzi's tone also became intense, and he muttered: "I'm not against changing the world, I'm just saying that in the process of changing the world, can we be more benevolent?" ”

"It's not just Xuanlin Spirits, there is already some dissatisfaction with the means of selling gunpowder and spreading gunpowder to break the city. Gunpowder was exchanged for copper and gold and jade, but it also made the wars in the world more frequent and the people of the world more suffering. ”

"If you don't solve this matter, how can you get everyone to be unanimous? How can we convince the world that we are both offensive and loving? Isn't this fueling the warlike kings of the world? ”

Shi Leng said in a cold voice: "As you said, iron tools and the like should not spread to the world. Iron oxen ploughed the harvest and spread it all over the world, so that the people could produce more food, and the warlike king would organize more soldiers, and the fighting would be more tragic! ”

"The root cause of chaos in the world is that the disputes in the world cannot be synonymous and stable. Not gunpowder, iron, and the like. ”

"You support the use of righteous teachers to change the world, but you are also uneasy about these cruel realities. You'd find a way to get the best of both worlds! ”

"If you have a way to get together in September, you can propose it at the meeting. If it makes sense, how can it not convince everyone? ”

"You can't think of a way, but you blame the available way, aren't you hurting the world?"

The quarrel between the two has already smelled of too much gunpowder, and this is the first time that everyone has seen Shi get angry, but it is not the first time that Shi has seen Shi argue with others and will not back down.

Never back down, that is in the face of giants will not back down.

But the previous argument with the grandson was still smiling, even if it was intense, but it didn't come to this point.

When the grandson heard Shi directly accuse him of harming the world, his face showed displeasure, he didn't eat, he left angrily, and went to the side of the house to rest.

Shijia Dolphin looked angry and wanted to say something, but he heard Shi sigh himself, didn't eat, and went aside.

Everyone felt that Shi's reaction today was very wrong and excessive, but they didn't know that in Shi's opinion, the Mo family had reached the juncture of the route dispute.

Mozi is already old, and the bird slippery is also old, and the bird slippery is more like a transition.

What should the Mo family do after that? This gathering in September this year will be completely resolved, and once it is not resolved, the Mo family will face divisions and doubts.

This seemingly ordinary gathering is a turning point for the Mo family in Shi's opinion.

The organization of the Mohists determines that the synonym between the upper and lower is extremely important.

When it is done, the whole organization reaches a consensus and becomes a person, a behemoth with countless hands, feet, ears and eyes. Any one of them who acts on consensus will contribute to the achievement of the ultimate goal.

Many things before were not considered issues of principle, and even when he argued with his grandson in the past, there was Mozi pressing, and it could always be resolved.

He didn't want to quarrel with his grandson like this, and it seemed to be because of something that he had already quarreled with many times.

But today we have to show an attitude, in the past we could have given in a little for the sake of unity, but today we absolutely can't.

Not only is it not possible, but it is also necessary to convince the grandson so that he can gain his support and unite against those who disagree in the general direction.

Mozi is old, and even if he becomes a giant, he can't suppress internal disputes, but he will maintain a form that does not divide because of his feelings.

This time Mozi was on his side, and he was very sure, because if not, there was no need to expand the scale of this normal committee meeting, and with the scale of twenty-five people, Mozi's influence would be easy to control.

The scale was expanded because Mozi was convinced that the greater the number of people, the greater the advantage, thus laying the foundation for the future route of the Mo family in one fell swoop.

The argument with the great grandson is more like a test of Mozi: if he can't even unite with the great grandson, or even turn against him, or can't get support, then Shi seems to be unsuitable as the next giant.

To be sure, the grandson will not have conflicts with himself because of personal grudges, so he can directly argue with the most fierce words, even if both sides are angry.

…………

Inside the house, the grandson sat alone, looking at the rain outside, still angry at what he said just now, he was harming the world.

He knows that today's debate is not a repetition of the old tunes, but a general eruption of some problems.

He also knew that what seemed to be talking about Xuanlin spirits and gunpowder today was actually discussing a series of policies of the Mo family over the years.

Pei County has developed very well, which Gao Sun Sun knows very well, in less than ten years, it is simply a change of customs.

The people have enough to eat, the appearance of the villages and towns has changed, the habits have changed, there are more cattle and horses, and there is more grain......

Everything was fine.

But the corresponding problems also arise.

The original rotation mining system, with the development of Pei County, the people have been reluctant.

The aristocracy of Pei County was basically eradicated, and with the popularization of iron tools, many lands that were originally unsuitable for cultivation have also become fertile soil.

The people are no longer willing to do the tiring and dangerous work, and who wants to work when they have cattle and horses at home and fields?

However, the number of people in the handicraft industry and iron smelting industry in Pei County is increasing, and it is increasing every year.

As for the way of increase, Gao Sun Sun has already seen it, or he has roughly said it before.

After the coup d'Γ©tat in Shangqiu in the Song Kingdom, changes had already begun in the vicinity of Shangqiu, and a fierce storm was brewing in the rest of the country.

The nobles who owned the fields and the fields would not let go of their control over the peasants. It was not only a source of gratuitous feudal obligations for these peasants, but also a source of military strength that the nobles could control.

However, in addition to the nobles who owned the Lutian sealed fields, those farmers who longed for the private mu system and had their own share of the land supported the Mo.

Those who owned a large amount of private land, and who had no political status and were down-and-out aristocrats, also began to support the Mo.

Their private land is not Lutian, and they have no personal control over the peasants.

The Moji began to work with them, providing them with loans and iron tools, and imparting some cultivation techniques.

Originally, many people rented their fields to grow on their private land, and paid a certain amount of rent and tax every year, so as to obtain food for survival.

These tenants were different from the peasants who had a share of the land, and they were a poorer group of people who were divided into the peasant class. Because of the increase in population, these people do not have their own share of the land, and can only rely on renting crops or working as unscrupulous workers to make a living.

However, there are not many at this time.

After the Shangqiu coup, the common people's court made a rule to keep rents in kind, and the rents in kind were retained before the agricultural reform...... Based on the Mojia mu of every 240 steps, the output per mu of land used to be only seventy or eighty catties, and one mu of land only needs to pay a maximum of ten catties of rent in kind.

If they can pay in full, in fact, for these taxis and petty nobles who have private land, their income has not decreased.

But the question is...... It is true that the amount of grain used for rent and taxation has not decreased as before, but the price of grain has plummeted in recent years, and the grain rent of 10 catties per mu of land is nothing at all.

Today, Pei County's handicraft industry is developing very rapidly, cotton, indigo, potatoes and sweet potatoes for winemaking, corn for military rations and horses, and various oil crops for oil extraction......

Whatever they planted, it was more cost-effective than collecting the original private property rent, and the Mo family provided some iron tools and technical guidance, and these scholars and low-ranking nobles no longer lived on those taxes, but used oxen to plough horses and iron tools, and hired people to manage the land themselves.

The harvested crops, which run down the river in Surabaya, can be far more profitable than renting out in small plots.

After all, the Song Kingdom is not under the control of the Mo family. It's not like the nobles of Teng either fled or died.

And those who rent cultivators, it is impossible to directly organize five households and ten households to rent horses like Peixian, even if there is a large amount of wasteland, but there is a lack of capital tools to reclaim.

Those people collected the fields, and the Mo family was next to them to prepare a boat to pick up the people...... With the advent of the iron ox ploughing cart, the same size of land only required one-third or even one-fifth of the original manpower, and the remaining ones were completely no longer needed, and there were no tools and no one to organize the cultivation, and there was no other way but to be driven away.

Surabaya, Danshui, Heshui, Suishui...... Every month, there is a steady stream of farmers who originally rented private fields, reduced to unscrupulous servants, and were organized by the Mo people to stay in Peixian and Pengcheng.

In order to survive, they either entered the mines to work, or entered the workshops of the Mo family, or participated in the volunteer teachers, or were organized to cultivate......

The cotton brought in upstream is spun into cloth, the potatoes and sweet potatoes are made into spirits, and the seeds are pressed into oil......

A steady supply of labor balances the number of landless laborers at the bottom who are becoming increasingly scarce because of the natives of Pei County.

Paper, coal and coke, crushed ore, oil, cotton cloth, gunpowder, ironware, pottery...... These things were then continuously transported to the Song Dynasty, where there had been a large-scale agricultural revolution, or farther north of Taoyi, where the people had more grain to exchange, so that they could sell these things.

For the kind of behavior of driving out the people who rent the land for profit, it is ...... It was tacitly acquiesced in and even supported this expulsion, and even said that Peidi's handicraft industry would depend on these people to support it.

Gao Sun Tzu felt that this was not benevolence and righteousness, but benevolence and righteousness in the context of the Mohist family.
