Chapter 330: Leveraging the Power to Restore the Country Is Not as Good as Before (9)
Teng Shuyu and the two youngest companions bowed down to everyone on the city wall, and soon left, jumped off the city wall less than two zhang high, rolled on the ground a few times, and then jumped into the Jing River and waded away.
On that day, the gates of Tengcheng were closed, and the Yue people hunted and killed according to the information provided by those who participated in the oath. Except for some people who lived outside the city, and Teng Shuyu and three others who escaped, all the participants in the oath who did not participate in the whistle-blowing were killed and several families were slaughtered.
The Yue people came prepared, and many were killed before they could resist.
But Teng Shuyu escaped with gunpowder and some partners, and killed and injured more than twenty or thirty Yue soldiers along the way, which made the Yue nobles in Tengdi very uneasy.
He knew that those terrible weapons were from the Mo family, and he had only heard about it, but many Yue people today had indeed seen it with their own eyes and knew the power of this thing, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Originally, it was just to send someone to inform King Yue and send troops to rescue as soon as possible, and the number of people in the thousands was enough. Looking at it now, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy, so I hurriedly sent someone to Langya, only saying that I needed to raise a large army to go.
After slaughtering those who responded in the city, he hurriedly prepared to defend the city, just waiting for it to be able to hold it, and then the prince of Yue led people to come to himself It would be a great achievement.
It's just that his means of defending the city are not high, so he can only send scouts to investigate the situation near the Song Dynasty, and concentrate the people to prevent them from going out of the city easily, and the city gate is closed, and they are only allowed to go out in the morning to cut firewood and grass.
He also asked the Yue people to confiscate the grain in the city, but the city did not dare to resist, and the people were resentful in their hearts, and there were many dissatisfied people. The Yue people killed the disgruntled as a deterrent.
…………
When Teng Shuyu fled to Pei County, it was already mid-March, his face was haggard, his clothes were tattered, and he had long since lost the appearance of a sword traveler when he first came to Pei County.
As soon as he came, he found everyone in the Mo family crying, only saying that the incident in the city was leaked, and the Yue people were wantonly hunting and killing, and he could only flee.
Mo Shi sighed a lot, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, he knew that among those people organized by Teng Shuyu, there would definitely be some people who were righteous and reckless.
It's just that the righteousness they value is not the righteousness of the Mo family, and the Mo family's occupation of Tengdi is not at all for the purpose of restoring the country and restoring the original system, but to promote the righteousness of the Mo family itself.
Those who "value righteousness" are worthy of admiration, but their emphasis on righteousness is wrong, because the "righteousness" they think is to restore the rule of the old nobles of Teng, and such people will definitely oppose the Mohist family's reform in Tengdi in the future.
Shi came forward to appease Teng Shuyu, and the ink person informed Shi that Juzi convened the committee to discuss the matter of sending troops.
In fact, the preparations for the dispatch of troops had already been prepared, and the people who had food and ordnance and even the people who had followed the expedition to transport supplies had already begun to mobilize and organize, but there was no reason to go to war.
There are many reasons, such as drills, such as digging canals, etc., which have been done all these years, and the people are very well organized, and they can organize enough people in a few days.
The division of the Third Brigade has always been training on a full-time basis, and it can go to Tengdi at any time, and the distance between the two places is not far.
What is missing is only propaganda, and finally a form to get the "public opinion" of the people.
Because the Mo family has not completely turned against the old aristocracy and old rules, and directly shouts that they want to overthrow the old world and establish a new world, they really dare not do it at this time, so they need to change the way of propaganda.
It can not only get the permission of the people, but also will not be shocked and opposed by the princes of the world.
This kind of propaganda fell on the body of the Xuanyi Department, and also on the Ji Te, who was brought back by the ink to "study".
It's not that the Mo family still values "bloodline", but if there is no "bloodline", it is to declare war with the princes of the world.
The king of Yue can destroy Teng, the princes can fight, the doctor can ascend the throne, and the secretary can divide the Jin, but it is not allowed to "choose the Son of Heaven" and "choose the king".
Therefore, this bloodline is not for the people, but for the princes of the world.
Jite, who has a fairly pure bloodline, has been here for more than half a year and is studying at the village school.
In the morning, I learned the basics of writing with some children or some of the inkers or wanderers, and in the afternoon, it was usually appropriate to reason with him......
After talking about it every once in a while, it lasted for half a year, and Ji Te also understood what kind of thing he was - it was a tablet found by the Mo family, which was used to block the mouths of the princes of the world.
Kitt felt that he was like a cow, a cow in the Peixian cattle and horse farm, and when he talked about it, people would always talk about whether the bloodline of this cow was the most majestic bull...... Except for cattle and horses, the people of Pei County do not talk about blood.
But he feels that he is a human being, and he feels that he is like a cow and a horse in Peixian, because many people will point out behind his back: "This person's grandfather is Teng Guokao Gong"...... Just like those who instruct the cattle and horses in the cattle and horse farms.
He pondered the thing that was suitable for a while, and found that even if he returned to the country, he was really just a tablet.
It is impossible to give him the power at all, but it is said that it is necessary to gather the "public will" to elect a hundred officials and order Yin, and formulate the law, and the position of Tenghou ...... He was only responsible for the ceremonial rites or finally signed some decisions - and he did not have the authority to make those decisions, and in the end he just went through the process of stamping the seal.
No real power.
If you say that you are the king, Ling Yin is the Duke of Zhou? It still doesn't seem right, it's a bit like, but if you listen closely, you know that it's not like that at all.
If you follow that rule, there will be no power struggle between the monarchy and the government.
He himself knew that he had no foundation, and after Teng Shuyu fled back to Pei County in embarrassment, he also knew that his bloodline had no appeal, and it was impossible to fight for power if he didn't have the ability.
Teng Guo's original public land and public office field, according to the logic at this time, must naturally belong to him, the future Teng Hou.
But the ink man told him that this is not taken for granted, even according to the "Zhou Li", the fields of the monarchs of small countries are numbered, and they are nothing more than the fields of Beiqing.
Since they want to borrow his tablet, those will have to block the mouths of some people, and it can't be said that he will invite his tablet over and then really "support himself and the people will cultivate together" as he said, that must let the nobles and princes of the world work together against the Mo family.
Now the Mohists did not want to completely provoke the dissatisfaction of the princes, so they had to find enough excuses from the "rites" that the princes ostensibly followed.
"The Royal System" said: 100 acres of farmland. The 100 acres are divided into nine people, eight people are eaten, seven people are eaten, six people are eaten, and five people are eaten by the farmers. If you are in an official, you think it is bad. The corporal of the princes regarded him as a farmer, and he was able to plough on his behalf. Sergeant times corporal, sergeant times sergeant, corporal times sergeant. Qing, the four great doctors. Jun, Shi Qinglu. The secretary of the second country, the three major husbands, the king, and the ten qinglu. The secretary of a small country, the double doctor Lu, the king, the ten Qinglu.
This kind of study of nine numbers seems to be a little troublesome to calculate, but fortunately, he is suitable to advocate that he is unparalleled in the world of nine numbers all day long, so he helped to calculate and quickly came up with the answer.
Since Teng is a small country, according to this calculation, the "Lu" field owned by Teng Hou should be ten times the Lu of the doctor, that is, twenty wells.
The normal 20 wells are 18,000 mu, but because the Mojia reform wanted to strip away the public land system and the system of serfs binding the land, each well only counted the original public land of 100 mu, that is, the Lutian owned by Tenghou is theoretically 2,000 mu.
And because this mu is a Zhou mu, a mu of manpower, not a mu of cattle ploughing, so the number of mu converted into normal Mojia weights and measures is only one-third, that is, 600 mu.
So after Shi Zai finished the calculation, he happily told Ji Te, saying that these 600 acres of land are your Tenghou's Lutian, and after the restoration of the country, it will be carved out from the public land occupied by the Yue people.
But the public land labor system will be abolished, and the well field will be abolished, which is beneficial to the world and the country, so no one will help you cultivate these 600 acres of land.
As for you, you can either hire the "tillers" you did before to farm, and you run it yourself.
Or, you can lease out the 600 acres of land, let others rent your land to operate, and you can collect the rent.
In any case, after taking Tengdi, only 600 acres of those public fields will be allocated to you, and the rest will be distributed to the people.
Of course, the ownership of the palace that has been built still belongs to him, Tenghou, and as for whether there is money to repair it, it has nothing to do with others.
If the Inquiry Council can pass a decree to repair the palace for you, then it will be fine, but Kitt knows that it is very slim when she hears it.
This can be regarded as giving enough face to the princes of the world, and it is not good to really let this Tenghou support himself.
Shi also made it clear that if the righteousness of the Mo family is used, the Mo family will send troops to help.
Ji Texin said that I didn't want to return to the country, you took the initiative, but this matter is better than me helping people with farming, so of course I agreed.
Besides, it's already like this, what if I don't agree? I can't go back to Teng Di, you let Teng Shuyu preach that I want to restore the country, how can the Yue people tolerate me? I fled to Lu and Chu, and people didn't recognize me at all, and I didn't even have a horse or a carriage, where did I look like a nobleman?
In the end, if I don't agree, I can only study here, and then work in the Mo family's workshop in peace......
Although it was a tablet, and even putting a piece of wood on it to say that this wood had the bloodline of the wrong uncle's embroidery, it didn't seem to affect the operation of Teng Guo at all.
Shi also told Ji Te that there were many farmers in Pei County who had fled from Tengdi, and there were also those who joined the army in the righteous division, so they always wanted the division to be famous, so he hoped that Ji Te, as the heir of Teng State, would read an oath in public to make a request for soldiers.
The content of the oath is nothing more than that he recognizes the morality of the Mojia family and the people of the world, and decides to use the morality and heavenly will of the Mojia to carry out changes in Tengdi after the restoration of the country.
The contents of the reform include breaking the well field and opening up the field, changing the tax system, changing the labor system, allowing private acres, selecting the virtuous, collecting public opinions, changing the law, and clarifying rewards and punishments.
How to change it, everything is based on Pei County, which is nothing more than an extra monarch with a 600-acre Lutian mascot Marquis.
In other words, the first thing he, the marquis, had to do after his restoration was to announce reforms. The second thing is to hire the Mo to carry out the reform for the Xiangbang, and the Mo will concentrate the public opinion of the people, elect candidates to discuss politics, and legislative reform, and then he can rest.
Therefore, when the Mo family decided to send troops on March 23 if it didn't rain, they found Kitte as soon as possible and retold the things they had told him before.
Kitte smiled: "I used to be a son, then a farmer, and now I want to return to the country as a marquis." Looking at the world, there are exiled sons, and there may have been ministers who have been slaves, but they have never seen marquis who has been farmers. Am I unparalleled in the world at this time? ”
Shi was very satisfied with Ji Te's attitude, and replied with a smile: "This is all for Teng Guo, don't you know the Mo family's morality ......?"
Before he could say An, Kitt almost subconsciously recited some truths such as Shang Xian and Li Tianxia to show that he fully understood, knew very well, and would never forget.
Seeing this, Shi laughed, handed over a piece of paper full of words, and said, "In this case, please come forward and read the oath to get everyone's support for your restoration of the country." ”
