Etiquette is ruined by the nobles themselves.

And the last illusion of the people about the monarch is also up to the monarch himself to destroy.

Otherwise, the people will always think that some of the radical propaganda of the Mo family may not be right, and they have to be slapped in the face by the monarch to understand that there is no good monarch in the world at all.

Just like the later generations of Russia, the tsar is the "little father" of the people, and when the "son" holds the portrait of the little father to petition for change, they are greeted not by the love of the little father, but by the hot bullet, and then those who have illusions wake up.

Now the monarch of the Fei country is too highly praised by the Mo family, it is no longer as simple as his father, it has simply become an illusory entity of a country's sovereignty, and it seems that the meaning of the monarch's existence should be to seek benefits for the people.

If you can't do it, you're definitely not qualified. This is the right to speak.

The disgusting thing about the killing is that the monarch and nobles cannot stand up and tell the people directly: "We just want to eat your flesh and blood, and the purpose of our existence is not to seek profit for you."

So, it's a dead end.

When Meng Sheng and the others walked into the palace of the monarch of Fei Guoguo, the ending was already doomed.

Of the more than forty conditions for change, the first of them alone was a complete force for the monarch and the nobility to oppose it.

Article 1 states that it is necessary to distinguish between taxes, levies, and servitudes, and to clarify the distinction between taxes and servitudes, requiring the nobles to pay taxes uniformly, to pay military contributions according to the number of fiefs they occupy, and to be exempt from servitude but to pay servitude fees.

This is only the first point, and it is only a symptom, and it does not touch the fundamental issue of land ownership.

The next dozens are even more stringent than the first.

It's like saying to the nobles, "Die for the benefit of the people."

This death is the death of a class, not the death of the flesh. However, they apparently did not want to die.

But the populace, who still harbored a glimmer of illusion with the monarch and the nobility, still believed that they would be willing to die on their own initiative.

After Meng Sheng and the others entered the palace, thousands of people waited for news in front of the palace.

They carried their own simple meals, nibbled on sweet potatoes and potatoes, and waited for news that would allow them to rejoice from the palace.

Xu Miao did not go to the palace, but stood on the top floor of the mill, looked at the city, and pointed at the map that depicted the important places in the city.

Behind him, several ink artists were waiting for news, gearing up.

Tian Rang went to the gate of the palace and organized dozens of hired workers to drive the carriage, which carried some food and drinking water, and distributed it to the people waiting for news.

Over the years, Tian Rang has been doing some good deeds as a non-Mo person, and he has a very high reputation in the capital of Fei Kingdom, probably second only to the Mo family.

When the people saw Tian Rang coming, or called Tian Xiangzi, or called him a gentleman, Tian Rang asked people to distribute food by the carriage and asked some people what they thought.

As a businessman, if you don't look at it as a secret inkman, Tian Rang is actually full of expectations for this change.

Merchants were of humble status, nominally not noble, and were required to pay a large amount of taxes. Unless it is a big businessman who can achieve "Su Feng", it is actually another way to become a partner of the monarch and nobles.

But apart from the big merchants, the small merchants and craftsmen were not less taxed than the peasants, and they were required to pay military levies, and were forced to join the army if necessary.

If you are a big businessman with a political sense, you may be ready to riot with the people at this time, in order to accumulate a good name and become a "sage who can govern".

Tian Rang did not take this opportunity to make a name for himself, but told the people: "These foods are all distributed to everyone by Gongziluan." ”

In the past, Taikang lost his position, and his five sons sang songs, saying: The people can be approached, but not down. The people are only Bangben, and Bengu Bangning. To see the foolish men and fools of the world, one can win, one person has three losses, how can the grievances be clear, and the picture is not seen. To Lin Zhaomin, if the six horses are driven by the decaying rope, why is it disrespectful? ”

"Although Gongziluan has a humble status and is only a concubine, he remembers such ancient precepts clearly. He asked me to tell everyone that he agreed with the people and the country. He supported this change. ”

In the past few years, Tian Rang has been secretly helping Gongziluan accumulate fame, but Gongziluan himself does not pay attention to it and has no ambitions.

However, because of the secret support of the Mo family, Gongziluan's appearance can be much better than that of the rest of the nobles.

The workshop is in hand, and the Mo family is helping to carry out changes in his fiefdom manor, Gongziluan actually doesn't understand it at all, but he is humble and prosperous, and his development depends on Tian Rang's friend, and many things also think that Tian Rang is helping himself with the righteousness of a friend, so he lets go.

When everyone heard Tian Rang say this, they thought that during the great famine the year before last, the Mo family provided some food support, and among the many nobles in the capital, only Tian Rang distributed some to the people in the name of Gongziluan.

After Tian Rang finished distributing the food, he said: "I don't think there will be news in a day or two, and you don't have to wait here, why don't you go back?" ”

A farmer smiled bitterly: "A gentleman is worry-free, but a farmer is bitter." This matter is just a small matter for you, but for the farmer, it is related to the survival of the family. How can you not wait in a hurry? ”

"The taxes are heavy, and the walls of the palace are to be built, which will delay the agricultural time, how can you not be anxious? It's our own benefit. ”

"To you, this is not more than a gold, and you laugh at it, or you think that it is just a smile for a woman. For us, the same is the benefit of a gold, and it is explained by the power of the Mohists, which is the great benefit. ”

Tian Rang nodded and said, "That's the truth, I can't understand it." ”

After saying this, and after a few words of concern, he went back on his own, leaving only the hired men there to distribute food and facilitate the gathering of the people.

By the way, it is necessary to publicize Gongziluan's sympathy for the suffering of the people, and to accumulate the prestige of Gongziluan among the people with practical benefits, which is what he has been doing silently in the past few years.

But as soon as the front foot returned to his mansion, Gongziluan came to the house with a trace of resentment and anger, and after meeting, he didn't care about establishing it, so he asked: "Now there are rumors in the city, saying that what I say about the people is Bangben and Bengu Bangning...... Aren't you hurting me? You're my friend! ”

Ji Sunluan is just a son, and he is also an unpopular concubine, he has no status in the country, his fief is too small, and he has no right to speak.

Meng Sheng entered the palace to persuade benevolent government, and Ji Sunluan was not qualified to participate.

He has no ambitions, no political sense, and under the tide of the times, he is not even qualified to go with the flow.

Now that such a thing happened, he was only panicked in his heart, and he was going to become a complete outlier among the nobles in the future.

He is just running a workshop and becoming a shareholder in a businessman, and he is ridiculed as "not a gentleman, doing this cheap thing", he can benefit, and naturally he does not care about the ridicule of others.

But now, what Ji Sunluan said to the people today pushed him to the forefront, because Ji Sunluan heard some rumors, and the Liuqing monarch laughed at the reform opinions put forward by the Mo family: "The slut is profitable, what is the benefit of the country?" ”

No nobleman is willing to make a bird, so he clearly says: The people of bullshit are the state.

However, there was no opposition, but no one stood up and said: The people are the foundation of the state.

Although Ji Sunluan didn't understand that saying this was tantamount to announcing that he had betrayed his class, he instinctively felt that as soon as this incident came out, he would completely become the object of hatred in the aristocratic circle in the future.

As soon as he heard the news, he immediately came to see his "friend" in anger and asked why his friend wanted to harm him.

At this time, there was no story of Feng Tan for Meng Weijun Xue Guoshiyi, but Tian Rang said innocently after hearing Ji Sunluan's anger: "I'm here to get a good name for you!" ”

Ji Sunluan snorted and said distressedly: "You are kind." But I don't dare to ask for a good name. Under the name of virtue, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of death. ”

"In the past, King Wen was known as a virtuous person, and he was imprisoned and in Jinli; The literary species has a good name, and it is given death. Who in this world dares to have a good name? Isn't it not for a monarch to be killed, but for a virtuous name? ”

"Oops! You're really ...... I know you're doing it for my own good, but you should ask me first. I've always admired you and thought you were a friend as a friend, but ...... But you're really hurting me this time! ”

Ji Sunluan was anxious and sweaty, but Tian Rang smiled and said, "What you said is not right. Haven't you heard about Bao, the son of the Song Kingdom? ”

When Ji Sunluan heard Gongzi Bao, he trembled with fright, and said: "You are also a person who has read history books, don't you know what Gongzi Bao did back then?" ”

"Gongzi Bao is courteous to the countrymen, Song is hungry, and he uses his corn to borrow it. Since he is more than seventy years old, he is all given back, and he is ashamed and cherished. There are no days and no number of people in the door of the six kings, the talented people of the country, all of them, and all of them are sympathetic. ”

This matter is not just Gongzi Bao is doing, but because his grandmother wants to have an affair with him, he does not agree, but his grandmother took the initiative to spread Gongzi Bao's kindness among the Chinese people for love, and used her own power to fund the Chinese people in the name of Gongzi Bao, and finally Gongzi Bao finally succeeded in the coup.

Ji Sunluan accented on the words "Every day is not counted at the gate of Liuqing", and said with a bitter face: "Gongzi Bao Na does not go to the gate of Liuqing for a day." ”

"Now there is no one in the country who has not been harmed by the changes of the Mo family. You are now asking me to support the people, doesn't this make me isolate myself from Liuqing? ”

"Gongzi Bao can become the Duke of Song Zhiwen, that's because there are no days and no number of Liuqing's gates. What's the use of you putting me on the side of the untouchables now? The common people are lowly and can be used but not completely relied on. ”

"Liuqing is resentful, you are trying to force me to death!"

After Ji Sunluan finished speaking with a bitter face, he felt a little embarrassed, it sounded like the other party had good intentions after all, so he could only resent.

Wei Rang looked at Ji Sunluan, and suddenly his face changed slightly: "I have some confidential words that I want to say to you." Can you listen to it? If you don't want to hear it, then I didn't talk about it. ”

In the previous exchange, he had already talked about Song Gongzi Bao, and at this time he mentioned confidential words, even if Ji Sunluan was sluggish, he understood what Wei Rang was going to say.
