Chapter 344: Tian Yuan Forced and Cornered Teng (4)
After arguing for a while, Lu Hua prepared the meal and said conveniently: "Eat first, talk while eating." ”
Gao Sun and the others were also hungry, so they cleaned up the wooden table with Shi.
The game of Go that had never been played was inextricably linked in black and white near Tian Yuan, but there was no forcing and obstruction in the corners, which was just right for moving and flashing.
Putting this game of Go aside, the eight or nine people in the room sat at the table together, and did not talk about some etiquette at this time, and the women could also eat at the same table.
One is that the Mo family is the morality of equality for all, and they will not discriminate against women when defending the city, but think that women can "bear the earth".
The second is because of the cotton cloth, the commodity economy around Pei County is somewhat deformed and prosperous, when they can support themselves without the land, with the equality concept of the Shangmo family and the legacy of the status of women in the clan era, the status of women in Pei County is generally slightly higher than elsewhere.
Moreover, because a large number of women need to bear a series of "Mohist financial expenses" such as medical skills and children's education, the establishment of this model has also led to many changes in many customs in Peidi in the past ten years.
The meal is not special, but compared to what most people eat at this time, it is already considered sumptuous, and it cannot be compared with the nobles.
A bowl of batter for each person, corn and rice, and a jar with vegetable oil, chopped pickled toon leaves, and bird eggs to accompany the meal.
Each person was also cut into a two-centimeter-thick "white noodle roll" to eat.
The outside is a layer of white noodles, and the inside is minced extremely salty salted fish and scallion oil, which is actually a flower roll with a lot of dishes, but because the salted fish is too salty, it can only be eaten as a side dish rather than a staple food.
After seeing it, the grandson smiled and said: "This salted fish roll, at the beginning, it can only be eaten when the wheat is harvested, I remember that when the first canal was dug in Pei County, this thing was delivered to the people. Now I can eat it on a regular basis. ”
is a very simple sentence, but it really speaks of the changes in Pei County in recent years.
When the wheat is harvested, it is hot, and I sweat a lot, and I am about to replenish the salt.
At that time, wheat flour was still a rarity, and vegetable oil with stinky salted fish and wheat flour was a feast.
This strange way of eating began by digging canals, but it was surprisingly popular with the people, and over time it became a custom here.
Nowadays, this habit is still retained when harvesting wheat, but it can be eaten on a regular basis.
Although in Shi's opinion, this is really not a good food, but if farmers outside Pei County can eat this thing, it will be like the winter sacrifice to the head of the family to give wine and food.
As for the toon, it is a special product here, to the south is Pengcheng, Peng Zu is said to have been born under the toon tree, the tree has a long life, so there are many trees here.
Tsubaki sprouts are salted and can be eaten on weekdays, and this pickled vegetable has one benefit: it does not give birth to maggots.
Even if the rest of the pickled vegetables are salted, maggots are often born, including sauce, and the princes of the Son of Heaven may have a special "scholar" responsible for not giving birth to maggots, but the public practical ones will give birth to maggots, and take away the maggots and continue to eat.
Therefore, this simple meal is considered a good meal compared to the vast majority of people in the world at this time. The Seventy can eat meat, even if it is the dream of a benevolent and righteous world, and the standard of living under low productivity cannot be imagined.
There are many low-level nobles in the Mo family, such as the high grandson is an orthodox nobleman. It is precisely in this way that the most of the "self-suffering" faction is the kind of person who can live a low-level aristocratic life by taking a step back.
Shi took the chopsticks, clicked on the jar of Tsubaki sprout egg foam, and said leisurely: "I have heard that in ancient times, there were people who had a big Tsubaki, with 8,000 years old as spring, 8,000 years old as autumn, and this big year is also." The fungus does not know the obscurity, the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn, and this small year is also. Therefore, the small year is not as good as the big year, if you look at it, you will not care about the spring and autumn for a while. ”
The grandson is erudite, although Zhuang Zhou was not born at this time, but Shi's words still won his appreciation, and he also understood the meaning of Shi's strings, and said with a smile: "You and I are both cockroaches, how can you not care about the spring and autumn for a while?" ”
Shi Ye smiled: "Although you and I are cockroaches, the righteousness of the Mo family is endless, and it is the eight-thousand-year-old Tsubaki." Some things have to be seen in the long run. ”
"Looking at it from the perspective of Xuan Lin and spirits, in the long run, are these things not beneficial to the world?"
Gao Sun knew what he wanted to say, but he couldn't refute this question.
This thing is indeed beneficial, and it is appropriate to say that if Xuan Lin is done, it can be transparent and transparent, instead of the straw silk that closes the window, so that everyone in the world can live in a house that is bright and cold and sunny in winter.
In the long run, it will be beneficial.
Shi said: "Besides, don't we make these things and spread them to the four directions through industry and commerce, so that those princes and nobles will not plunder the farmers of the fiefdoms?" These things were originally beneficial to the world, just like swords, which were created by the saints with the inspiration of the heavens and ghosts, in order to fight tigers and leopards and stabilize the world. Is it correct for someone to say that the sage and craftsman should be counted as the sage and craftsman who made the sword? ”
The high grandson looked at Shi and said solemnly: "But you must know that you made these things in order to make the princes and nobles like them, and let them exchange copper, grain, money, gold and jade." It's like when you're making a sword, you want the sword to kill, so that's different from what you said! ”
The tone of the two people became more and more intense, and seeing that they were about to make trouble about the liquor workshop back then, a few people next to them wanted to persuade them, but they didn't know what to say.
Shi Ye said solemnly: "I made these things, not so that the princes and nobles would exploit the fiefdom, but for the benefit of the world!" ”
"Zi Mozi Yan, Mozi does righteousness, and you need to respect the three tables."
"If the world is poor, it will be engaged in the rich, if the people are few, it will be engaged in the many, and if the people are chaotic, they will be engaged in governance!"
"I have not violated these three tables, and all of this is for the sake of the world's wealth, the people, and the government! I am in line with the meaning of the three expressions of the Mo family! ”
"What is wrong is the system of the world, where the farmer is imprisoned in a fief and cannot leave or leave. To solve this problem, it is not said that the nobles can wear straw sandals and short brown! You're treating the symptoms, not the root cause! ”
Gao Sun also said sharply: "You are right, I never object. However, these things did make the farmers in the fiefdoms of Peixian rich and the rest of the world suffered! I am not opposed to reforming the system of the world, but I hope that the Mohists will also have the people of the world in mind in the process! ”
"It is as clean as water, and not as mud."
Shi countered: "Zi Mo Ziyan, the pros and cons need power. It is harmful to be able to get big profits and take small profits! I'm doing this for the great benefit of the world, and you're just doing that for the small profit of the world. It doesn't make sense to reason with the princes and nobles, you have to rely on fighting! ”
"To fight, you need money, you need food, you need copper and iron."
"Only by winning can we solve the silverfish of the princes and nobles at the root! Only then will we be able to benefit the world. ”
"Today's Jia Dolphin is also here, you ask him, how much food is needed to exchange for the copper of a cannon now? Pei County only relies on agricultural land, can it support the current righteous teacher? If you can't support it, why will you benefit the world in the future? ”
The few people present are either from the appropriate lineage or from the faction of the eldest grandson, and some of the things can be said clearly, and there is no need for any cover-up.
The conflict between the two is not only the issue of luxury, but also a series of economic policies in the future.
The faction of the high grandson is not the most extreme.
The most extreme faction of the Mohists is derived, and there is also an extreme small-scale peasant utopian faction that is seriously out of step with the times and hopes that "the sage and the people will plough and eat together, and rule by food" and "the market is not the same as the price" - the value of each commodity is measured by labor, which is equivalent to the price, and the pricing must not be violated, so that everyone's labor can be exchanged for the same labor product, and there is both exchange and no capital appreciation, so the world is under great rule.
Although the elaboration is not clear, the class instinct still gives such an illusion, and it is more and more refined with the emergence of some Mohist theories.
Shijia Dolphin was the first to follow Shi Shi to contact some economic things, and he was also in charge of the Mo family's financial expenditures, so he hoped that Shijia Dolphin could use very realistic things to slightly shatter Gao Sun's overly idealistic ideas.
Shijia Dolphin had long hoped that the two would no longer quarrel, and when he saw the appropriate question, he hurriedly replied: "I will count it as a 600-pound copper cannon, not to mention the craftsman, but only to say the copper used." ”
"Six hundred catties of copper, you can melt 30,000 small coins. Based on the grain prices of Yue, Qi, and Sanjin, thirty yuan is one stone of corn. The corn converted into this cannon is a thousand stone ......."
"Yin of Chu County, the annual salary is no more than 10,000 stones, and the annual income alone is not counted as Lutian Fengtian, and the Yin of Chu County can only fold the copper of ten cannons a year."
"Before the change in Pei County, the cattle ploughed iron and the new grain could not be composted, and the family of nine would remove what they had eaten, and if it was a good year, the income would only be two stones after deducting the rent and tax."
"This cannon, if calculated before, is equivalent to the surplus grain of 500 families of nine for a year. The surplus food of nearly 5,000 people was all collected, which is worthy of a cannon! ”
What the city Jia Dolphin said is naturally a series of agricultural reforms, before the labor production efficiency and unit yield per mu are extremely low.
For a county duke like Duke Luyang, his Lutian may nominally have only three or five thousand households, and the rest belong to the feudal fields under his rule, and of course there are more land that is privately annexed and collected.
Such a number is shocking, and it is also a direct manifestation of the underdevelopment of agriculture in the world.
Gao Sun Tzu was silent, he also knew that many things were expensive, but he didn't intuitively understand that they could be so expensive.
But he then asked: "Now that the crops have changed, a thousand stone of corn is still easy, right?" ”
At this time, the stone is a small stone made by Zhou, which is equivalent to about 30 catties of corn, and 1,000 stone of corn is only 30,000 catties.
In the past, this was indeed a huge amount of wealth, but in today's Pei County, it is really nothing. 30,000 catties of corn or wheat, not to mention 500 households, I am afraid that a hundred farmers are enough to take it out without moving their muscles and bones, which is converted into nine mouthfuls and no more than 30 catties per person.
With today's two-season planting, supplemented by potatoes and sweet potatoes and other foods as supplementary grains, 30,000 catties of grain is just the entire output of a hundred acres of land, and the grandson seems to be cheap.
When Shi Jia Dolphin heard this, he answered: "As I said before, a farmer produces 400 catties of grain a year and 800 catties of grain, which is not twice the difference. ”
"A man is required to eat 300 catties, but originally only 100 catties were left to be exchanged or used as taxes. Now the output is 800 catties, which is actually 500 catties left, and the amount that can be exchanged is five times. ”
"But that's not all. Accompanied by melons and vegetables and other new species, you can exchange even more. ”
"But...... The grain price of Yue and Qi is not the grain price of Pei County. These grains cannot be directly exchanged for copper! ”
"Moreover, we have basically got the local copper......
