I felt that this was the second day of a strange event, and compared to the war between the Qi State and the Mo family, a major event actually happened.

More than 50,000 Qi captives were also escorted to Guyi, where they built thatched huts in a vacant lot outside the city, and it was said that Qi captives whose families were in the valley could be released and returned to their families as long as they came to the camp every three days.

The sappers in the army began to measure the land area of the fleeing nobles, especially the fields of the nobles near the city.

However, such a big event, it doesn't matter to the wage sellers.

He has no sons and relatives in the army, whether Qi Hou wins or loses, whether these prisoners are imprisoned or released, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care.

On the contrary, it is the fact that those who went to transport grain returned from Beijishui and everyone who went received money is worthy of attention for wage sellers.

Even if it is rumored one day that the capital Linzi is breached, it may not be as important as this matter.

As for the rumors that it was going to distribute the fiefs of the nobles, the wage sellers didn't care.

One allotment, which has nothing to do with him, is said to be mainly distributed to the peasants who cultivated the fiefdoms.

He is the part of the people whose vital interests have the least impact after the Mo family entered the city this time.

But still, the vital interests have the least impact, not without impact, for example, the safe return of the grain transporter to receive the money is very big for him.

He turned around, and he was not embarrassed to go home, the foresight of the previous days seemed to have become a joke today, thinking that if he went back, he would be nagged by his wife and ridiculed by his son.

So after walking a few laps, he went to the neighbor's house and the house of someone he knew well, the family went to Beiji three days ago to transport grain to the water and returned today, he wanted to ask for clarification.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that the woman of the house had wrapped an indigo cotton cloth around her body, and was happily comparing how to cut a garment.

When the salaried seller arrived, the neighbor met him, and the woman who was happily fiddling with cotton cloth said, "My beloved told you to go with you that day, but you did not go." If you go, it's time to change your family's clothes. Look at the cotton cloth in Sishang, but it is much thinner and a few inches wider than the linen cloth we have here, you ......can touch it."

The wage seller stretched out his hand and touched it a few times, and praised: "It has also been common in recent years. Just where are you willing to buy? The family made some linen on it, kneaded it into threads when they were free, and knitted it themselves. I bought it for less......"

The woman had obviously just heard her husband talk about what happened in Sishang on the way, so she said, "Oh, how can people spin their own linen cloth over there?" A family of 100 acres of land, planted two seasons of grain, paid taxes and was their own, all to buy cotton cloth from the workshop. ”

"The ink man who went to the north to transport grain with my family planted hundreds of acres of cotton together in the village, and when it was time to harvest cotton, they picked and sold it together for money......

It is easy for wage sellers to understand this kind of cooperation, because there is a system of dividing public land in the world, and this kind of thing that is difficult to understand and think that the sky has fallen in the era when private land is busy hundreds of years later, is simply common today.

It is nothing more than that the income from the labor of the public land belongs to the lord, and the income from that side belongs to everyone in the village community. However, there is no difference in the mode of labor, and it is true that it is more efficient than planting alone, and there will be no situation where you will not be overwhelmed on a rainy day.

After a few words, the neighbor also knew what the wage seller was doing, so he said, "I said, you didn't go this time, it's really a loss." The Mojia Yishi is different from other armies, people talk about it, they have a song of three disciplines and eight rules, which says that from the time when they Mozi defended the city, they borrowed from our farmers and had to pay back. ”

"On this trip, a man's horse stepped into a vole hole and broke his leg. The family registered directly, and when they came back, they compensated a horse. ”

The wage seller was even more surprised, exclaiming, "Is there such a thing? ”

"Is that still fake? I saw it with my own eyes. ”

The wage seller looked up for a long time, unable to believe it, and said for a long time: "This is really a hell of a collision." Is there still such a person in the world? Eh, I heard that Sishang uses straw as money, and the money he gives you is not that kind of straw, right? ”

The neighbor took out a string of knife coins from his arms and said, "Do you see if this is straw?" We don't accept the Mo family's straw, but the big businessmen here do collect it, and the Mo family directly exchanges the money here. They exchanged money, and then went to Sishang to buy ironware and cotton cloth and resell it? ”

The salaried seller took it and weighed it a few times, and the neighbor said that the amount he had given was a lot, and he regretted that he had not gone.

After asking a few more words, the neighbor said, "I will go again tomorrow, and the money will be calculated by the day, so don't you not go this time." ”

The wage seller said, "That's going, that's going." Eh, isn't there food in the city treasury? The armor and tithes collected only this year are in the treasury. Why do you have to go to the Northland to transport grain? The north side also fell? ”

The neighbor smiled and said, "Doctor Ah has already run away, and the Mo family only sent three hundred riders to take Ah Yi." The nobles all ran to Pingyin. But we didn't go to Adi to transport grain, but in a warehouse. ”

"I heard that Xue Ling is even more so, there are only fifty people from the Mo family, and the doctors and gentlemen over there have all run away, and the carriages that transport the family's belongings have lined up for a long time, but the Mo family has not chased them."

The salaried man snorted and said, "Those who eat meat are afraid of death. This Mo family is really good, if this time it can directly defeat Linzi, it will be good. ”

The neighbor also nodded, "I think so, too." Even if you don't lay down Linzi, it's good to cut us over. By the way, tomorrow morning, we will go to transport grain again, not all the captured people have come, and they also have to eat, and now the army of 100,000 will need a lot of food to eat and drink every day. There are some in the local treasury, and I heard that they are going to be returned to us after a while, saying that this endowment is unjust, and it is all our blood and sweat......"

The salary-seller listened with even more fascination, and nodded: "If only our doctor Yi Zai could know this truth." Okay, then I'll go first, go back and get ready. ”

The neighbors did not stay behind, but said, "Then you should go back quickly." Tomorrow morning, don't forget. ”

The wage seller never thought that he would deal with the Mo family earlier than he expected tomorrow morning. He still wondered in his heart, when he went tomorrow morning, would anyone laugh at how his leg was good, or deceive the Mo family, and whether they would punish him.

As soon as he arrived home, he didn't want to ask him if there were cows and horses in his house the day before yesterday, and the wage seller subconsciously wanted to pretend to be lame, but he could see the man's smiling eyes, and finally his legs were weak and he couldn't pretend to be weak, but he didn't know how to walk.

The ink man didn't look at his legs again, but smiled and said, "Folks, I'm here today to buy some firewood." Just sell it to us at the price of winter, at a fair price, who is it not to sell, you say? ”

Even after counting the amount of firewood, the Mo family did not do anything to tie a cow's head to the value of the salary, and only paid copper coins.

When the inker was gone, the family weighed the copper coins with infinite joy and smiled, and forgot to talk about his far-sightedness that day.

Early the next morning, he did not eat, so he drove the carriage to the vicinity of the barracks.

The neighbor said that if you take care of the food on the road, you will have enough to eat, but you will not eat breakfast, and you can eat more at noon, and you can save a meal of food.

When they arrived near the barracks, some young neighbors laughed and said, "Oh, I say, your legs and your horse's legs, good but fast." ”

The wage seller blushed and said, "How do you know that they are really teachers of benevolence and righteousness?" ”

A person who usually tells jokes said in a melodious voice: "He is going to see if we can get the money first." If we can't get it, he'll call us stupid. If you get it, then it is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, can you really break his leg? Therefore, it is still a good person to bully, if it is really a noble doctor, he has to break his leg today to dare to come......"

In the midst of everyone's laughter, the wage seller was not angry because he was ridiculed for his cunning, but blushed and embarrassed, and said to himself: "That's nature." If it were the nobles and doctors, I would have broken my leg today. Otherwise, when they see that my leg is not broken, they will punish me, or maybe they will actually break my leg......"

After a few days of silence, he went to follow everyone to Beiji Water to transport grain.

For three meals a day, I eat fried rice with wheat flour, and the dishes are salted fish or some fried soy beans, which are very fragrant and full.

In the past few days of transporting grain, the army in Guyi has been much smaller, and I heard that it is going to fight Pingyin.

Yesterday, the wage sellers also saw another group of volunteers by the Beiji water, and they went down by boat and went ashore in Ayi.

There are also a lot of huge copper cannons in the army, and he doesn't recognize them, but he has heard of them, so he can't help but sigh a few words, and said in his heart: "These are all copper, how much does it cost to cast?" The Mo family is really rich, no wonder they have to covet the few money in our hands, but these cannons, just take out one and melt it casually, that's enough......"

Seeing those cannons, my heart was even more happy, and I thought that if there were these cannons, the Mo family might really want to shoot Linzi.

This Qi country has changed from surnamed Jiang to surnamed Chen, but there is no difference, the doctor is still a doctor, a nobleman is still a nobleman, whether to accept Qiu Jiafu or Qiu Jiafu, but if the Mo family is changed, it will be very different.

Although I can't get the land, at least I don't have to worry that my industry will be gone. I don't know how to farm myself, if I really take Linzi, with the Mo family's policy, I still have a lot of strength, and my life will be better than before.

If you live well, others will live well, and if others live well, there will be more people who are willing to spend money to buy firewood instead of cutting it yourself to save money, and you will be able to live better......

He thought it was simple, and it wasn't complicated.

He pricked his ears and listened to the rumors of the people who carried the grain together, and he didn't know if Pingyin City had been captured.

After four or five days of grain transportation came to an end for the time being, he received the money and went home, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard his old wife say, "You will go to the market tomorrow." The Mo family announced in the city yesterday that they had paid Qiu Jiafu this year, and no matter how much, each family would return some of the property from the treasury. ”

Wage sellers are accustomed to seeing it, and they have seen more strange things like this in the past few days, but they feel that it is extremely ordinary and not strange at all.

When these unprecedented things are no longer strange, it is the possibility that people will know that there is another possibility in the original world: those strange things that have never been heard of before will be taken for granted in the new world.

Since I will only collect it tomorrow, I can't be idle today, so I thought that the Mo family still needed firewood, so I might as well cut down some trees for money.

As long as the army gives money happily, then the money is still easy to earn.

Thinking that the Mo family won't be here for too long, as long as they live for another month, they can exchange a lot of money for their strength. If you can live for a year, you will have to buy an ink cart, get an axe, and hire one or two people......

With a simple yearning for a new life, I drove to the outside of the city, and in a place where I usually cut wood, I saw a group of soldiers of the Mo family busy on the top of the mountain from a distance.

He was no longer afraid, so he leaned over, and when he got closer, he knew that this was the Mo family's "sapper".

He didn't know what a sapper was, and the pronunciation of Sishang Gong was different from that of Guyi Gong, but he knew that these people had been busy measuring the nobles' fiefs recently.

The reason for the recognition at a glance is that these "sappers" all wore a strange kind of hat and did not have a bottom, but wore something called pants.

When he leaned in, he found that there were quite a few locals there.

An officer in a fur hat was holding a strange cylinder and looking into the distance, next to a couple of people with something in their hands and drawing something there.

He didn't understand, and was about to ask something, when the officer in the fur hat turned around and said in the same language to the locals who were watching the excitement: "You see, Jishui has turned a corner here, and this is the reason why it will suffer when it rains heavily a few years ago." ”

"It's not too high to the north, so you could blow it up. After straightening in this way, Jishui will go straight, and it will be nothing if it rains. And on the south side, you can open up 10,000 acres of fertile land, and without water, the ground is full of silt, which is a good land. Just sow the seeds and you will have a good harvest. ”

When the wage seller heard this, he didn't care much, and said to himself: "I cut wood for a living, and if I don't farm the land, I will be flooded, and I have nothing to lose." However, if it can really be repaired, it will exempt a lot of money for reinforcing the embankment every year, and I am old and my son is lame, although it can be waived, but the money still has to be paid......"

I thought again: "Repair is repair, just don't let yourself work." ”

But how did he know, why did he need him, after the officer finished speaking, the local stakeholders applauded.

If this was done by a local doctor, he might not be able to exclaim a true gentleman, and he would think that it was the blue sky and the scorching sun.

can be placed in the Mo family's righteous teachers, although they also sigh that the Mo family is indeed beneficial to the people, but it doesn't seem to be so weird and incredible.

On the other hand, it would be weird if you didn't do it.

This flood is a big deal in Guyi, and it seems that someone has said this, and these ink writers have taken it to heart.

This matter has nothing to do with him, but he is afraid that he will have to pay for the work, so he cautiously asked sideways: "If you want to repair, you must also rush to the time when the farmers are slack, otherwise you will give money and hurt the farmers......

When he asked, he didn't actually care about whether it hurt the peasants, and he didn't farm.

He asked this because he wanted to know: When will it be repaired? Do you pay for repairs? Or do you want everyone to work?

The question was hidden, and the officer didn't seem to hear his careful thoughts, and sighed: "It's too early or too late." Summer is coming, and the rainstorm is coming...... Hey, this Yi Zai and the doctor are really vegetarian people, hundreds of years of flooding, but no one has taken care of them for hundreds of years. ”

A person next to him sneered: "The nobleman's fief is not close here, what are they cultivating?" And those who have fiefdoms will build walls for their own walls. ”

The officer sighed and said: "Zi Mozi said: In ancient times, if the title was not high, the people were disrespectful; If the accumulation is not thick, the people will not believe it; If the decrees continue, the people will not be afraid. The lord of the ancient saint king, the lord of the heavy gift, let it be done, and the order of the judgment. Shall a husband give to his servants? I want to make things that benefit the people come true. ”

"The granting of titles, titles, and official positions is not a reward for those people, but for those people to be able to do things, which is the obligation of the official title to govern the party. For example, today, but with a high lord, heavy Lu, and Ren as a reward, this is like buying pearls but leaving a beautiful box and discarding the pearls. ”

"The righteousness of this world, the righteousness of this world is taken for granted, if it does not change, sooner or later it will perish in the world."

The officer shook his head, and the salaried seller was finally a little shocked: in the eyes of the Mo family, titles, salaries, and official positions were not rewards, but only a prerequisite for doing things that benefited the people.

The purpose of giving titles, salaries, and official positions is to make the people respect and trust, so that they can lead the people to do things.

It turns out that the origin of all this is to do things for the benefit of the people......

It's horrible.

To the ears of wage sellers, it is said that the sun comes out of the west, the sun and the moon are reversed, and the thunder in winter is thunder and snow in summer.

Being a knight and an official is actually for the sake of "benefiting the people"?

This is a statement that has subverted everything for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and it is terrifying enough to make people sweat.

Wage sellers feel like their heads are going to explode, and there is such a reason in the world?

Originally, what the Mo family did could still be understood by benevolence and righteousness, and he thought that if there was a better doctor or general, he might not be able to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

But now the words spoken by this ink man can no longer be understood with benevolence and righteousness, and this is to subvert everything that has been in the world.

It's like making people feel that it's normal to snow in summer and thunder in winter......

Is this possible?

Originally, he still dared to get close to the Mo family, but he unconsciously took a step back, and thought blankly in his heart: "The Mo family is a group of crazy people, a group of crazy people who take snow in summer and thunder in winter for granted. It's not a normal bunch of people......"

Somehow, he felt some inexplicable fear.

It's not that there are no good people in this world, so the existence of good people won't make people feel too surprised.

But there has never been a person in the world who has considered it an obligation to do everything that a good man, a good man, a good gentleman, and a good doctor does, unless it is a madman.

The wage seller was a little panicked, feeling that there was no normal person in Sishang.

I also think that the Mo family is heavy on the side of the ghosts, isn't he dealing with a group of ghosts?

In a panic, he reached into his arms and touched the few coins he received yesterday, and the heavy feeling made him feel the reality of this world again, so he put his heart at ease, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "It doesn't seem to be a ghost, it's just a group of crazy and stupid people...... It's good if it's not a ghost, it's good if it's not a ghost. I heard that the Mo family is a ghost and a ghost, and their giant son is not a ghost, right? ”

"Otherwise, if you enter the Mo family, you will all become ghosts, this is not a truth that people can think of. Is the knighthood a success for the benefit of the people? This is not the truth of the world, maybe this is the truth of the ghost world, right? ”

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, I didn't cut the firewood, I slipped back home in the car, asked my wife to make a meal, and added a lot of chili peppers to the soup, and I was sweating all over my body.

I was sweating, and then I thought that such a strange thing as chili peppers also came from Sishang, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had seen through something that no one in the world knew: Sishang was full of ghosts......
