It's not that there are no good nobles, but nobles also have to eat and drink, have to be polite, and have to have a noble lifestyle, where do these expenses come from?

Naturally, you can only rely on the people in the fiefdom.

Iron oxen were not used here, and the quantity per unit of output was too small, and the nobles had to obtain as much labor rent as they could if they wanted to sustain themselves.

The more courteous the aristocracy, the more ferocious this kind of exploitation becomes, because observance means that they do not want to rebel, and not wanting to rebel means that there is no need to buy people's hearts, and there is no desire to change in their own fiefdoms.

It may be possible for the great nobles to make some changes in their fiefdoms, allocating land and making the people loyal, so that they can have 8,000 private soldiers, as the Jisun clan did back then. This kind of change is not for the benefit of the world, but only to gain more power and fiefdoms, and to maintain power with the "benevolent government" of its own base, and the deficit is made up by the increased land.

Because the productive forces were not developed enough, the tax in kind and the rent of labor were combined to maintain the aristocratic life of ordinary small nobles.

Sun Pu is not the kind of person who doesn't know how bitter the world is, and when he sees more, he doesn't have much emotion, which is the norm in the world.

After listening to everyone's complaints, he just sighed and said in his heart, "This is a good start." Finally began to talk about his suffering. ”

After everyone said a lot, Sun Pu said: "People, you have to live." You have to have clothes to wear and food to eat. ”

"People have one mouth, so you can't say that nobles have ten mouths, right? He is just a mouth, but he has more than 10,000 acres of land, is this reasonable? ”

"The Wei people sang, no crops, no crops, three hundred hundred? Why do you say that? ”

It's hard to answer a question.

But the problem itself is exactly what everyone in the village community is concerned about.

The same question can be interpreted differently for different meanings.

At this time, the "Mandate of Heaven" theory was popular, and there were many sayings in the world, the so-called "life is rich, life is poor; If you live in the crowd, you will be in the crowd, and if you are outnumbered, you will be outnumbered; If you are in trouble, you will be in trouble; Life is longevity, and life is death".

This is the content that the Mohists strongly refute in "Non-Life", believing that without life, their own destiny can only be controlled by themselves.

But the righteousness of the Mohist family is the indecent of the righteousness of the world, and there are not many people who believe in it outside of Sishang and some big cities.

Because the logic is too difficult, and fate is the best explanation for "rich and poor, noble and low", etc., which is also preferred by the aristocracy.

Sure enough, Sun Pu soon heard the answer he expected.

Someone sighed, "It's all fate." ”

"Speaking of which, the noble people's lives are good, they have good ancestors, and they followed the former king and the Son of Heaven to conquer the land. Our life is not good, without good ancestors, we will not have these lands, we cannot be noble, we can only be lowly. ”

Sun Pu shook his head with a smile and asked, "Even if that's the case, then why do you want to seal the soil?" ”

The farmer said: "The whole world belongs to the prince of heaven, and other people's things are good to divide." ”

Sun Pu looked at others, and everyone else nodded, and Sun Pu asked again: "Then why is the land under heaven owned by the Son of Heaven?" ”

Once you start asking too many whys, it's easy to get into trouble.

Many people think that this is like someone asking why the sun rises in the east, is this a problem?

This is the rule of the world, just like people live to eat and drink, there is no reason.

But when I think about it again, I feel that it seems that I really should think about why. Yes, why is the land of heaven owned by the princes and princes of the Son of Heaven?

Even though the village community is closed, everyone knows about King Wu's war, so there is a humane: "King Wu is warned, so the land of the world belongs to Zhou." ”

Sun Pu laughed and said, "That's interesting." Who did the land before Yin Shang belong to? Before Yu Xia, to whom does the land of the world belong? Before Shennong and Taihao, who did the land in the world belong to? ”

"Could it be that the Son of Heaven has always existed? Is it true that the land under heaven has always been owned by one man? ”

One sentence was asked, only the sound of the bonfire remained, and no one answered, and many people were looking down and thinking about this difficult and difficult question.

If the land did not belong to a certain Son of Heaven from the beginning, then from whom did the first Son of Heaven inherit the ownership of the land under heaven inherited by the Mandate of Heaven?

There is always a beginning to everything.

If it is said that in ancient times, there was no son of heaven who owned the world, then ......

When many people think of this, their bodies can't help but tremble, and they don't dare to think about it.

Because if I think about it any longer, I am afraid that I can only think of one possibility: the first Son of Heaven snatched the land from the hands of the people of the world...... Because before King Wu fell, Yin Shang had the world, and before Yin Shang, Yu Xia had the world, what about before Yu Xia? What about before the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of Antiquity?

The first Son of Heaven's ownership of the land under heaven was inherited from his hands? If it is the people, then is it with the consent of the people? What is taken away without consent, what is it if it is not robbed? When asked about the world, who can agree to give their land to the Son of Heaven?

Don't say anything about Yu Xia Shang Zhou, even if it is Haotian God, I am afraid that everyone will not agree.

Don't...... Could it be that the first Son of Heaven was the greatest robber in the world?

The simple question provoked terrifying thinking, and many people trembled with fright, shaking their heads and not daring to continue thinking along this line of thought.

Is the Son of Heaven a robber? How dare you continue to think about this? It's a reversal of the world, how is it possible?

But it seems that there is no other reason to explain it than this explanation.

Sun Pu added another fire and asked, "Now, there is a robber who has robbed someone else's pearl jade. Another person said that this was a robber, so he killed the robber, but kept the jewel for himself, so can this person be called benevolent? ”

"Isn't it the same with land? Think about it, why should the land belong to the princes of the Son of Heaven? Is it fate? ”

This is naturally not fate.

After a long time, a farmer finally said, "That'...... Is that because they can fight? So they can rob someone else, but others can't rob theirs? ”

Sun Pu smiled secretly in his heart, and asked again: "Then why can they fight?" Why can't you beat the nobles? Is it fate? ”

"If you can also fight, then can you say that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning? It depends on who can fight? If this is the case, then the truth of the world is simple. ”

"If so, is there something wrong with the princes and generals? Or is it not the princely himself? Is it the son of a robber or a robber, and someone else can't be a robber, right? Or is the existence of robbers inherently wrong? ”

A series of questions made everyone's brains a mess.

Finally someone said, "You know a lot, tell us about it." We don't understand. ”

The rest of the people also chimed in: "Yes, yes, tell us about it, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Robbers are inherently wrong. But how can there be no robbers? ”

"In ancient times, to whom did the land of the world belong? How did he get into the hands of the first Son of Heaven? ”

"Tell us about it."

More and more people came around, wanting to hear these truths that they had never heard before, Sun Pu smiled, walked to the bonfire, recalled what he had learned in the past few years, and naturally began to tell those "forged" ancient things about the origin of the revised Mojia righteousness.

It was not like that in antiquity, nor was it the case with the emergence of private property, but it was the easiest to understand and the easiest to explain why the land belonged to the nobility and the princes.

Under the flickering bonfire, more and more people are immersed in those simple and easy-to-understand truths, and from time to time they let out oooh exclamations.

Those who originally thought that they didn't need to be justified were all unreasonable under Sun Pu's explanation.

Everyone listened to it as if they had drunk and drunk.

On the other side of the campfire, the young people who had accepted these truths since childhood, as if Sun Pu was talking "nonsense", as if telling others that the direction of the sun rising was east, gradually became a little sleepy.

Shu Guitian scratched his head and thought, "How can anyone take it for granted that the princes of the Son of Heaven own land?" Shouldn't this be a truth that people all over the world can easily think of wrong? ”

It's like these young people have felt since they were young that everyone is equal under the emperor is a truth that does not need to be explained.

Few of them have the ability to explain why equality, except for those who have studied in the Xuanyi Ministry, but they take this truth for granted, as common as eating when they are hungry, where is the explanation needed?

After listening to it for a while, these young people became even more sleepy, the school's monthly "politics" class always talked about these things, they listened too much, and Sun Pu spoke too shallowly, I really felt that there was nothing to listen to.

They will not do this work in the future, just as Mozi said: if you want to benefit the world, everyone should be comrades with one heart, for example, if you build a wall, those who can build it will build it, those who can build it will build it, those who can build it will be happy, and those who can enjoy it will be happy, and then the wall will be built. For the sake of righteousness and benefit the world, those who can talk about debate talk about debate, those who can tell stories tell stories, those who can engage in it, and then righteousness will be done.

After all, these young people are just transferred to fill the staff, and what they have to deal with is a nine-digit geometric work, and this kind of work, these young people who are not full of hair are afraid that they can't do it.

A few people yawned and got up to go to bed.

Shu Guitian folded his clothes and thought, "Let's go to bed early." Tomorrow morning, I will go to the river to take a bath, although the water is cold, but I also have to wash. ”

"I have to measure tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have time for these days. What is the purpose of Mr. Sun's reasoning with them? Directly dividing the earth is to reverse all the unreasonable things in the world into conforming to the will of heaven, and then the world will be ruled greatly. ”

"If the old nobleman is against it, the company will arrest him directly, so why bother? Is it so boring to benefit the world? ”

I muttered a few times in my heart, and suddenly felt that my previous blood was a little cold. What he thinks about benefiting the world should be vigorous, fighting among the ten thousand armies, and looking at the vast world above Yang Fan and Bitao......

Who would have thought that when the fathers started their business in Sishang, they were so boring, talking about some tired truths, and dealing with these trivial and passionless little things after the fight.
