Chapter 246: Jing Song's Soldiers' Hearts Shake (4)
A few sentences of very life-like scenes have narrowed the distance between the peasants in the world.
The Mohist theory of concurrent love is similar to fraternity, but it is completely different, because concurrent love evolved from the love of relatives, and does not exclude intimacy, but only proves that loving others and others love you get double the love, so as to prove reasonable.
The aristocracy did not love the peasants.
Why should the peasants love the aristocracy?
Since relatives are not excluded, it seems that it is not inappropriate for the farmers to love the farmers first, and then after loving the farmers, they have the spare strength to love the nobles and princes.
Shi solved a question of the people of Shangqiu: Why did the volunteer teacher of Pei County help Shangqiu defend the city?
It seems that this explanation is the most reasonable, just because everyone is a farmer, so they are close, so there is love.
Just as the Shu peasants were reluctant to fight and were forcibly conscripted every time they fought, the people of Shangqiu easily understood why the Chu people outside the city would come to attack Shangqiu.
It is extremely piercing: even if Shangqiu City is breached, the land will not be able to take the turn of the peasant soldiers of Chu, and even if it becomes the food of the prince of Chu, it is no different from the past.
After everyone was silent for a while, they said, "Sui, you're right." Who of us wants to fight? Isn't the princes and nobles warlike? For profit? ”
"That is, your Mo family said that there are many warlike kings in the world, so these warlike kings get the land, and they can't take the turn of those apprentice peasant soldiers!"
"We are not nobles, and we don't have fiefdoms, which is why we don't want to guard Shangqiu. If the Chu people come and say that they will recognize the private mu and reduce the tax, I am afraid that we will sacrifice the king to the king of Chu! ”
I don't know who said this, everyone laughed, and they knew that although this was a joke, it might not be impossible to really make it one day.
After all, the Chu people were no longer Yidi at this time, and the Song people were in the world, and they had never felt what Yidi was, so it was easy to accept the concept of the Mohist world.
Shi Yin smiled: "You see, it is because of this love, and it is precisely because everyone is a farmer and a businessman, that it is impossible for Peixian County to charge the same interest as the nobles for the grain lent to you." ”
"This friendship, you need to write down. If one day the farmers of Pei County suffer a famine, you must also remember today's events! ”
One of the people is moved by the right words, and the other is that the biggest problem they are facing now is the food shortage, where can they still consider whether to do it or not?
just agreed again and again, and said: "The matter of borrowing grain, even if it is so decided." ”
"When the time comes, the craftsmen will organize the production of ink cars, and you will be responsible for cutting down the trees, and at that time, each family will have one, and it will not be impossible to repay it later. The Mo family can still pay you this little money in advance. ”
"When the ink truck is ready, we will go to Peixian to transport grain, and we may need to build roads along the way, which is also to be done."
"When the time comes, our Mo family will organize you, just do it. You do your best, and we organize. ”
Everyone agreed again and again, thinking that this was not the same thing as repairing the palace room, after all, it was for themselves.
We can't live in the palace and delay the agricultural time, so we are naturally unwilling.
Shi Chong waved his hand to everyone and said, "If you borrow something, it's done." However, the matter of repayment has not yet been discussed. ”
"Our Mo family talks about faithfulness, so we can guarantee you the grain of Pei County. But you can't let our Mo family lose their faith! ”
"If we lose our faith, how can we survive in the world?"
"So, how to pay it back, this matter needs you to fight for, and you also need to know how to fight for it in the Inquiry Yuan."
He said that, and finally got to the point.
An alliance with the Chu people? This kind of thing, there is no need to talk about it so much, and even how to form an alliance with the Mo family has been finalized, which is nothing more than the withdrawal of troops and the strict neutrality of the Song State, the Song and Chu mutual assistance treaties, and the Chu State guarantees the independent status of Pei County in exchange for Pei County's export of iron tools and technology.
Once the siege is over, these people will have less opportunity to organize, and they will become small peasants, and it will be difficult to organize.
The Inquiry Yuan is the real big thing to do, and he has to take advantage of the opportunity that is still organized together to get a lot of things done.
After everyone quieted down, Shi finally began to talk about the question of "how to repay".
To repay, you need to have it yourself.
If you have it, you need to produce it yourself and subtract your own food, drink and tax obligations.
The rest is considered a surplus to be able to repay those loans.
In addition to one's own food and drink can be changed, production, taxes, and obligations can all be changed.
Originally, the people of Shangqiu did not have the capital to discuss politics, but now that they are organized, and the Mo family has terrifying force behind them, they naturally have the qualifications to discuss politics and fight for interests.
What is appropriate is nothing more than a few things that have been preached before.
Taxes can only be levied with the permission of the Inquiry Council. This includes the tribute of the nobles' fiefs and the taxation of private land, and the people must be able to obtain a fixed amount of tax, and they cannot add a Qiujia tax today, a wheat tax tomorrow, and so on.
In terms of production, it is necessary to reform the public land system in Shangqiu City, completely destroy the public land, and set up a mutual aid group of three or five households to maximize the use of cattle and horses to complete the cattle farming reform.
In order to absorb a large amount of aristocratic funds to invest in the handicrafts of Peixian, it was necessary to borrow the expectations of the people to set the highest interest rate, and ensure that the profits from the handicrafts and manor agriculture were higher than those from lending.
In order to ensure the implementation of these, or to say that these were not overturned and changed by the Song dukes and nobles at will, they had to win the right to parliamentary power, assemble and organize township communities and township schools.
This right is like the ghost god emperor who supervises the world, and if the Song Duke and the nobles violate it in the future, they must have the organization and strength to explode their dog heads.
Just as the township school was not destroyed in the past, but the "street political café" township school in Zheng Guo was destroyed and forced to close down one after another, the nobles could not trust the monarch, so it was necessary to let the people of Shangqiu maintain sufficient military superiority.
All kinds of needs and rights are linked to each other.
The latter is the guarantee of the former, and the former provides the people with enough surplus money and strength to strengthen the latter.
In the final analysis, this is a major matter related to the entire Shangqiu people, and it is closely related to everyone's vital interests, and everyone listens to it with relish.
As for Pei County's request, Shi didn't mention it at all, or now is not the time to mention it.
Now he just wants the people of Shangqiu to remember that Pei County has paid for them, they owe a debt to the people of Pei County, and when the time is right, they will naturally lead everyone to make the right decision, or the decision he wants.
After talking about the land system and tax reform until the right of association, the sky began to brighten, but the people did not get sleepy, but listened fascinated, and more and more people gathered around to listen to Shi Shi's preaching, and Shi Shi's words became more and more intense.
After everything was almost clear, Shi finally mentioned the most inconspicuous matter of the Song Chu Alliance.
"Although the Inquiry Council has not yet been established, the Duke of Song has sworn that in the future, all major events such as moving the capital, ascending the throne, and forming an alliance must be asked to the public."
"Now that we are about to form an alliance with the Chu people, it is inevitable that the Chu people will withdraw from the army, but what should I do after I withdraw from the army? In the future, if the Chu people don't attack, what will happen if the Three Jin Dynasty come to attack? ”
Shi Dao: "The Mo family is against the unjust war, so the Mo family is always very close to the Song State, why do you say this?" ”
The people of Shangqiu knew a lot of jokes about Shangqiu, and they also understood the meaning of the words, so they laughed one after another.
Obviously, because the Song State has not been qualified to launch an unjust war since Xianggong.
This is not to say that there is no strength at all, if Shi did not appear in this world, Song still briefly rose to prominence a few decades later.
Of course, it was a small country such as Teng and Xue, and then he shot the sky angrily and thought that I was the strongest in the world.
In the end, of course, it was destroyed by Qi, Chu, Wei, Han and other countries, and it was carved up. The Song State, which had once leveled Chu and Zhenqi, was wiped out, so that a few decades later, Huaisi and Western Chu became the last foundation of Chu people like Xiang Yu.
As for now, the Song State has not waged an unjust war for many years.
To the south, the state of Chu could not be defeated, and to the north, the three Jin were strong. There is Qilu in the east, and Zheng Chu in the west, a real place of death.
Coupled with the Yue Zhan Teng, now the Yue people are still fierce tigers, and they have just been brilliant in Qufu once, let the Marquis of Qi take Lu Hou to drive, and the Song people did not even dare to move those small countries in the land of Huaisi.
Shi said conveniently: "Actually, the Mo family's statement of non-attack and elimination of unjust war, the Song State is the most feasible. If others don't come to fight the Song Kingdom, the Song Kingdom really doesn't have the strength to fight other countries. ”
"Since this is the case, Shangqiu City can naturally set up a righteous teacher just like Pei County."
"If other nations come to attack, it will naturally be an unjust war, and you will naturally have to defend it. Of course, this had to be done after the Duke of Song and the nobles agreed to the request for change, otherwise the Chu people would come and pay taxes to the Chu people, which would be no different from now. ”
"If Song Gong has a brain fever and wants to go to an unjust war, I think he can let him go abroad and change the monarch."
"Besides, if you want to plant wheat in the future, you can't use the weekly rites and seasons."
"Winter wheat everywhere, where to go to perform martial arts in winter? Spring and autumn are busy again, how can you shoot and hunt? Peixian Yishi can capture Chu Jun with foot, and it is not impossible for Shangqiu to defend the city with foot. ”
"Therefore, the establishment of the righteous teacher still needs to be considered carefully, and it cannot be the same as before."
"What is a righteous teacher? It is only a righteous war, not an unjust war. This is what Song Gong and Liuqing Sicheng must agree, if they don't agree, then there is no need to form an alliance this time. ”
"Cheng Alliance, you may not know how to discuss, our Mo family has thought of some for you, you can listen to it."
"First, Song Chu is a soldier."
Second, Song has remained neutral since then, neither pro-Jin nor pro-Chu. If the Mo family and the Jin and Chu armies fail, the Jin people will attack and ask for help from Chu, and Chu must agree to this covenant. ”
"Third, Shangqiu set up a righteous teacher, who only helped defend the city, and was trained by the Mo family who were independent of the princes. The required taxes shall be borne by the people of Shangqiu and shall be discussed in the Consultative Yuan. ”
"Fourth, if the Duke of Song launches an unjust war, the righteous master swears to oppose it to ensure that he will not attack the Chu people."
"Fifth, the command of the righteous teacher is authorized by the Inquiry Yuan, not by the Song Duke."
"The rest, but there is no persecution of the Chu people, after all, Chu is a big country, if it is too humiliating, I am afraid that the Chu people will betray the alliance, and it will not be able to end up at that time."
