This kind of ability to borrow flowers to offer Buddha is suitable for mastery. borrowed the interest of Lu Yanggong to spread the reputation of the Mo family.

Lu Yanggong has to agree if he doesn't agree now. Because this time it was his fiefdom that was threatened, not elsewhere.

If the rest of the cities of Chu were attacked, Duke Lu Yang would naturally not give up his interests, but now he was helpless.

According to the interpretation of the word "right" in the Mohists, this is a small harm compared with a big harm, and taking a small harm and sacrificing a big harm is a benefit.

As for the means of Ximu Lixin, although there was no Shang Yang at this time, Wu Qi in Xihe had already used similar methods.

This is to win the trust of the people.

And this method can win the trust of the people, and it also proves that the aristocracy at this time has no credibility in the eyes of the people, and the contradictions are so acute that they can't find a way to resist and can only be dissatisfied and distrustful.

After a few more words, Meng Sheng and Hu Feizi praised one after another: "It is indeed a good policy." It's just that we have to defend the city, and we can't defend it unless we take action ourselves. ”

I understand what Meng Sheng meant, the Mo family said before that they would not participate in this dispute, but they said it to the people in the world and those travelers. Let them be convinced that the Mo family still had hope for the end of the period of the Soldier Defeat Conference in two years. Wei Han and other countries also did not participate in the Mo family if they came forward to help the Chu people directly, and they would come to blackmail the Mo family, or they wanted to put the hat of the world's strife on the Mo family.

If there were no figures from the Mo family presiding over Niu Qi, no one could implement this planned new city and the new city law.

After pondering for a while, he said: "I have a way, this matter is related to the future of the Mo family, so I have to have the consciousness of not turning my heels." ”

Meng Sheng and Hu Feizi were not afraid of death, and they didn't take life and death seriously at all, so they asked directly.

"As long as the city is not broken, we cover our faces and manipulate behind our backs, even if Wei Han knows that it is our Mo family who makes the move, there is nothing we can do. And it can also show the reputation of my Mo family for the future. ”

"If the city is not broken, then there is nothing."

"It's just that you don't expect to be born, you need to die first. If the city is broken...... You and I can only self-destruct our faces, burn our bodies, and not give Wei Han the truth. ”

This kind of thing is common in the Spring and Autumn Period, and when many rangers take revenge for others, if they are bound to die, they will eventually do it in order not to affect their families.

If you want to achieve great things, you must have the consciousness of sacrificing your life, Shi is no longer the unknown person, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the Mo family, even if you are afraid of death in your heart, you can't let others think that you are afraid of death.

If they don't do this, the Mo family will not be able to have enough prestige in the Chu State for the King of Chu to settle, nor will they be able to control a county in the Chu Kingdom, let alone let the princes look sideways again.

Meng Sheng sighed and said: "Death is not enough to be afraid, but I am afraid that things that benefit the world will not be successful." ”

Shi sighed, nodded and said: "If you agree, write these contents, and ask someone to pass them back to Pei County and report to the giant." ”

Hu Feizi and Meng Sheng also agreed, and the three of them signed a joint letter and handed it over to a credible person to go to Pei County overnight to pass on the decision here.

A few days later, the Ink Maker had already arrived in Niuqiyi.

Lu Yang Gong handed over Niu Yan's loan deed and Niu Yan's city defense talisman to suit, which can be regarded as a helpless choice, after all, this is related to Lu Yang Gong's own fief, and it is enough for him to show enthusiasm that is impossible to show on weekdays.

Niu Yan Xiaoyi is not a big city like Luyang.

And the location is relatively remote, the Mo family basically has no influence here, and it is on the border as a fief of the nobles, so it is impossible to use the same propaganda methods as in Peixian and other places.

This small town is the only way for the Jin and Zheng coalition forces to attack Luguan, unless you take the direction of Yecheng, you have to pass through here anyway.

Moreover, the purpose of this war is to enter the prince's decision, and the Jin-Zheng coalition army will have to consider the follow-up logistics and transportation problems, and they will not be able to bypass here and break the city directly along the country roads like elsewhere.

The population of the city is about seven or eight thousand households, and the city walls are naturally not as majestic and tall as Shangqiu. There is no news about the coming war, and the people here live as usual.

The small town is backed by a river, a tributary of the water, which is not wide and does not pose a risk of flooding, but it is still difficult to cross the river and attack the city.

The city wall of the city is a non-standard square, which is considered a standard system, but it is not in line with Mozi's planning of the defense system of the city wall.

Shi went around the city wall, considered the population that could be mobilized, and the approximate amount of earthwork, and felt that it was necessary to rebuild it and completely become a city suitable for defense and could bring great damage to the besieging side.

There is no need to defend against enemy shelling, which reduces the amount of work to be extremely large.

After roughly drawing the diagram and calculating it, it is necessary to carefully use a ruler to draw the diagram when you go back, and give full play to the advantages of long-range firearms and crossfire as much as possible.

…………

In the city, the inkers who came to Niu Lang took the seal of Lu Yang Gong and completely took over the civil affairs and city defense of Niu Lang.

Count the treasury, count the food and weapons, and organize them into a book.

The people on the street were curious about the inkers who came to the cow house, dressed as if they were just peasants, but they could enter and leave the treasury, and they actually had cars.

When there was a lot of discussion in the market, there was an explosive news that these fellows who called themselves ink men had erected a log near the city gate, saying that those who could carry it from the south gate to the north gate would be rewarded with twenty gold yi.

As soon as the news came out, it was a sensation.

Many people helped the old and the young to go to the south gate to watch.

A few people stood next to the log, and although there were many onlookers, none of them stood up.

Even if the twenty taels of gold were placed under the city gates, many people thought that this might be a joke.

Many people like to watch such jokes, especially some aristocratic sons, when they are really bored, they will come up with such a temptation, ask people to do something stupid, and then look at the person who does the stupid thing and laugh.

Twenty eridium gold, a huge sum of money that these farmers would never dare to think of in their lifetime, was so clearly placed in front of everyone's eyes, and it seemed to be within reach.

It's just that no one will move, and no one even asks.

In the face of this situation, it is reasonable to feel appropriate. Relying on such means to enforce laws and regulations shows that the credibility of the ruling class has been completely bankrupt and completely lost the trust of the people.

He wasn't in a hurry, he just sat there and waited.

After a long time, an old man came forward, and after greeting him, he asked, "You call yourself the Mo Scholar, but you are the disciple of Mo Zhai who traveled to Luyang twenty years ago?" ”

was stunned, he arranged for it, but it was not this person, and he couldn't help but be curious, so he said exactly.

The old man nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I can believe it." I am a native of Luyang, I met Mo Zhai in Luyang twenty years ago, I am also a carpenter, I learned some methods from him, and I have also heard him talk about some knowledge. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and said to the people who had gathered: "Since you are Mo Zhai's disciples, you can believe their words. These people are not those princes and nobles, they will do what they say. I'm old, I can't move anymore, otherwise where would I talk to you? ”

This person seems to have some reputation in the market, and as soon as his voice fell, the surroundings became lively and inquired.

The old man stepped back and said, "Just ask him if you have anything to say." ”

pointed to the suit, and immediately a few strong men said, "Can you really do what you say?" ”

Shi hurriedly said: "Naturally, do it really." As long as you can move from here to the North Gate, the Golden Twenty Eridium is yours. ”

While the rest of the people were still skeptical, a strong man came forward and said, "I'm coming!" ”

A group of coaxing shouted: "Don't sweat, in the end, the gold didn't arrive, but it made people laugh!" ”

The strong man was also a cool man, and said loudly: "It's nothing more than a handful of strength, a little sweat, you can exchange it for gold, what's the point?" For example, today, even if you want to exchange some copper coins by sweating, you can't do it! ”

After complaining, he walked to the side of the yuanmu, everyone cheered, the strong man lowered his body and put the yuanmu on his shoulder, and slowly moved towards the north gate.

The people behind shouted, and Shi also followed.

The wood is not sinking, and it is not too tiring for the farmer at this time, so he carried it and left, and did not stop halfway.

When he arrived at the north gate, the strong man had just put down the wood, took out the gold, and shouted: "This is twenty eridium gold, our Mo family does what it says!" ”

The strong man didn't care about wiping the sweat on his body, and hurriedly took the gold.

But it wasn't until the heavy gold arrived in his hand that he felt that he was in a dream, and it took a long time to reflect on it.

The rest of the people were either remorseful, or applauded loudly, or asked the old man who these ink masters were.

No matter who they are, the fact that the wood bounty alone proves that these people's words can be believed.

After everyone was quiet, Shi said: "Now that our words can be believed, then please rush to tell us." ”

"After three days, anyone who owes money to Luyang, regardless of whether they can repay it or not, please come here with the deed."

Shi paused, showed a smile and said, "Good thing! ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, and regardless of other people's inquiries, he took someone away by himself.

The people who were watching the matter there couldn't help but be a little nervous, many people here owed money to Lu Yanggong.

At this time, there was no very developed commerce and handicraft industry here, and Luyang Gong, as the largest local aristocrat and landowner, and the advantages of not having to pay taxes, was naturally the largest money lender in the area.

The contract in the Spring and Autumn period was already very perfect, and there were officials who were in charge of the contract.

There are many kinds of taxes, and sometimes the surplus money earned each year cannot even pay interest. In particular, they have to be conscripted for service, or military service, or hard labor, which are feudal obligations, and they will not be given a penny during the period, and they will be delayed by their own work.

In this way, even if you don't want to borrow, you have to borrow, and if you don't borrow, you can't live, let alone pay taxes.

Many people are in more and more debt, so much that they can't even pay the interest, so they choose to flee and live in the mountains and wilderness.

Debt Collection ...... Nothing good is ever good.

However, Shi said that something good would happen in three days.

If someone else says it, they don't believe it.

However, with the matter of Ximu Lixin, everyone is already skeptical, after all, there is such a thing as debt collection...... It seems that if you don't need it, you need to gain trust first.

Just, what kind of good thing is it? One can only guess.
