The external environment is only for the sake of striving for more favorable conditions, and since it is a condition, it naturally has a purpose.

This time, borrowing Wu Qi's fame, the technical and academic advantages of the Mo family, and the chaos of Zhao will undoubtedly bring a great sense of oppression to Wei.

Nations are divided, nations distrust each other, suspicion of each other.

In particular, there have been many contradictions between Wei and Zhao before, and Wei Hou has always been secretly communicating with Zhao Hou and Gongzi Chao.

Zhao Hou was about to die of illness, and in such a short period of time, Wei Zhen and Zhao Zhang had no time to communicate at all, and there was no other way to ensure the safety of Wei except armed intervention.

Once this created alliance of Zhao, Mo, Qin, and Chu that did not exist at all was formed, Wei would fall into total passivity, which was unacceptable to the Marquis of Wei.

Qin and Chu have been marrying each other, Wei and Chu have been competing for hegemony in the Central Plains, and Qin has also been instigating Chu to make trouble in Xihe to help Chu share the pressure. Although the armed forces of Zhao are not strong now, they have also undergone the reform of the Gongzhong Company, and once they jump back against the Three Jins, the situation of Wei will be very ugly.

There was also a lack of trust between Wei and Qi, although now the Qi Guotian clan had just asked Wei to attack, and relied on his strength to obtain the title of marquis.

However, the previous three Jin Dynasty invasions of Qi, the demolition of the Great Wall, the competition for Weiguo, a buffer vassal state, the Qi State once sent troops to rescue the Yuguan Liang of Chu State, and the Wei-Yue Alliance suppressed Qi State, all of which will make Wei State have many doubts: once Zhao State rebelled, would Qi State take the opportunity to bite itself instead of forming an alliance with itself.

This kind of suspicion and suspicion, the Mo family left Wei Qihan and other countries to win time for a major event that they had always wanted to accomplish internally.

…………

Fifty miles northwest of the Tan Kingdom, where the Mo family was in charge, a small river meandered through it.

On this side of the river, there is the state of Tan, which completely implements the policy of the Mohists, nominally the state of Tan, but in fact it is a county under the rule of the Mohists.

On the other side of the river was the Fei country, which had joined the non-offensive alliance but maintained its independence and sovereignty.

After the Battle of Huangshui, Fei, Xue and other countries joined the non-offensive alliance, and compared to the hegemony that needed to pay tribute to the Yue country, the Mohists organized these small countries together in the form of a non-offensive alliance, and did not collect tribute silk and the like.

There is no reason for the internal affairs of various countries to "act on their behalf", because Fei, Xue and other countries still have monarchs for the time being, while Tan, Xuan and other countries were "liberated" from the hands of the Yue State by the Mo family, and they can no longer "find" a direct heir who can inherit, so they take over their government.

Geographically, the forces north of the Huai River in the Yue Kingdom were lost, and the first battle of the water shook the foundation of the Yue Kingdom, and the drama of father and son cannibalism did not happen because the Mo family needed to keep the Yue Kingdom disgusting the Qi State and sent troops to intervene, but the Yue Wang Peng could not stay in the north.

The righteous teachers of the Mo family were stationed near Langya in the name of helping to suppress the rebellion, and the king of Yue had already begun to repair the old capital in the hometown of Wuyue in the south of the Yangtze River, with great intentions of abandoning Huaibei and moving back to the south of the Yangtze River.

In this case, except for a few cities, they basically became the territory of the Mo family, or relocated people to build cities, or built coastal cities to dry salt......

As a result, the situation of a small country like Fei that still maintains sovereignty has become extremely closed, except for some exchanges with Lu in the north, the rest of the directions are completely blocked by the Mo family, becoming a country within a "country".

Although the power of the Mohists rose sharply after the First World War, in order to prevent Qi and Wei from interfering and causing a shock in the world, they did not completely solve the problems of small vassal states such as Fei Guo, but waited for the opportunity, accumulated strength, developed production, and changed the foundation.

Fei also has a righteous teacher, and the composition of this righteous teacher is sent by Fei Guo, and the Mo family provides weapons, as a non-offensive alliance military force, while ensuring that it does not interfere in the internal affairs of Fei and other small countries to maintain their own system.

Most of the members of Fei Guoyishi are homesteaders in the national capital Dayi. Because the money and equipment of this righteous master were all from the Mo family, and had nothing to do with the people of Sishang, the Mo family funded some of the iron tools of these yeoman farmers, and at the same time vigorously promoted some radical remarks of the Mo family.

A few years later, these yeoman farmers who had returned from service began to organize themselves under the leadership of Mozhi.

Some changes were made to the system of the country, such as the initial tax system, which led to the emergence of many yeoman farmers.

However, the taxes are extremely high.

Originally, each family collected tithes for their share of the land, but after the formation of the system, because of the original low productivity, a part of the "land" was needed, that is, the idle fields were fallow, and the fallow part also needed to be titheed.

Fallow was originally necessary, so it was equivalent to the May Day tax. With the spread and development of soybean, corn, wheat and cotton rotation technology from the farmers who returned from the righteous masters, these fallow fields also began to be planted, and the nobles and rulers of the Fei country also rose, forming the originally fixed "May Day tax" into a system.

In addition to the land-owning yeoman farmers, a large number of aristocratic fiefs still existed as the basis for the rule of the aristocratic families.

These nobles still had the power to control the peasants of their fiefdoms, but because of the topography, it was completely different from the series of operational estates that appeared along Danshui and Surabaya in the Song Kingdom.

A small aristocracy and landlord class of the Song State were closer to Sishang, and there had been an incident of Chinese people interfering in politics in Shangqiu before, and they obtained certain political rights.

Second, transportation is difficult nowadays, roads are not repaired, and water transportation is still the best mode of transportation. The development of industrial and commercial cities such as Peiyi and Pengcheng made grain and raw materials a profitable commodity, but limited to transportation, and this spontaneous transformation of production relations also occurred in the plains along the rivers of the Song Kingdom. Fei is a mountainous country, and there is no river that can directly reach Pengcheng Peiyi, so this kind of change has taken place very slowly in Fei country.

After the First World War of Gangshui, the Mo family was bounded by Jiashui, a tributary of Yishui, in the southeast of Feiguo, and did not explicitly interfere in the internal affairs of Feiguo, but the Mohists could give lectures and propaganda in Feiguo, set up mines and metallurgy, and sell salt and iron.

In addition, one of the most reluctant conditions for the Fei nobles was the demarcated border...... Once a fugitive serf escapes to the border, the Fei State will not be able to recover, and the Mo family will organize them to cultivate the land.

Under this policy, a large number of people fled from Fei to cross the border every year and entered the territory of the Mo family in Sishang.

In addition to this, there was an influx of goods and luxuries, and the income of the aristocracy was obviously not enough to maintain their higher standard of living, and strategies were urgently needed.

In this case, Fernandes has finally begun to "force change", but this change is against the trend of history.

The nobles and Fei Jun promulgated the "Prohibition Decree", declaring that the nobles had absolute control over the farmers on the feudal fields, and that they could only manage their own land after completing the "obligation" of the feudal landowners.

It is forbidden to hide a fugitive farmer, and once caught, to help the fugitive with the same crime.

Once the fugitive has fled, if he resists, the pursuer has the right to kill him.

Under the impact of Sishang commodities and the comparison of the Sishang system, the internal contradictions of the country have become more and more serious.

Because of the feudal system, the nobles continued to expand their land after obtaining iron tools and horses. Expanding one's land increases income, but it also requires more labor. This, in turn, required an increase in the degree of "official" labor, doubling the burden on the peasants above the fiefdoms.

The land system and reclamation status along the river in the Song Kingdom were different from those in the Fei Kingdom.

Especially in the vicinity of Taoqiu, where the economy is developed, private ownership of land has long appeared, and a large number of private fields are rented and cultivated. The advent of coal also made the firewood and grass mountains meaningless, and the textile industry in Sishang, which was dominated by cotton, and raising sheep was not so profitable, so the non-arable land in the fiefdoms of the small nobles was not worth developing.

Therefore, some landlords and petty nobles along the rivers of the Song Kingdom took back their rented fields because of the development of productive forces, drove away the excess labor, and let them go to Sishang or cities to make a living.

In Feiguo, because of the emergence of iron oxen ploughing and ridge farming, it led to another situation. The aristocracy took advantage of patriarchal relations and domination over the fiefdom of the peasants to expand the amount of "exploitation of servitude in the commons", increasing their own land and the working hours of the peasants on the commons, so as to make another way of profiting to increase their income.

This situation will inevitably lead to the flight of a large number of farmers on the sealed fields, and the Mo family is eyeing the Mo family, and they can't beat the Mo family, so they can only adopt stricter laws and strictly prohibit farmers from fleeing, so as to safeguard the interests of the nobles.

The more time it takes to "finish official work", the less time there is for "private affairs", the lower the income of the farmers on the closed fields, and the Mo family only adopted the method of buying iron tools in installments and renting cattle and horses after the land reform in Sishang.

Precisely:

Big rat big mouse, no food for me! Three-year-old girl, don't care about it. The dying woman is a paradise. Paradise and Paradise, I have what I have.

Rats and rats, no food for me! Three-year-old girl, Mo I Kende. The deceased woman is suitable for the country. Happy country, happy country, I am straight?

Rats and rats, no food for my seedlings! Three-year-old girl, Mo I am willing to work. The deceased woman is suitable for the suburbs. Le Jiao Le Jiao, who is the eternal number?

As soon as the rat was sung, "Promised Land" was naturally circulated, and for the serfs in the southeast, the Promised Land was only a river away.

Flee to the past, and it is a happy land.

If you can't escape, you will be eaten by rats for a lifetime.

If caught in the process of escaping, he may die, may be punished as a slave, and may have his labor increased.

But hope, always triumphing over the threat of death.

Every year, a large number of farmers on the fields will flee across the river, once the river is crossed, the noble private soldiers chasing behind will not dare to cross the line, and there will be a righteous teacher affiliated to the Mo family to guard the river.

Now stationed near Tanyi along the river is the expanded Sixth Division of the Righteous Division, which was expanded from the Sixth Brigade of the Battle of Lushui.

At least a few months ago, the 1st Division, which was mainly composed of wealthy yeoman farmers from Peiyi, was stationed in Tanyi, but a few months ago the 1st Division was transferred to the vicinity of Huling, and the 6th Division, which was composed mostly of former Yue slaves, fugitive serfs, and fugitive cultivators who had just received a share of the land.

If the soldiers of the original 1st Division were full of sympathy for the peasants who fled to the river, most of the soldiers of the 6th Division, in addition to sympathy, also carried a kind of sympathetic hatred for the nobles that had just passed.
