Chapter XXVIII

From beginning to end, Solu Shen has never talked about benefiting the world.

But the last remark is actually telling those on the other side that what they are doing is harming the world, because the basis of their "benefiting the world" - that agriculture is the only means of increasing the total wealth of society - is wrong.

The foundation is wrong, and all the inferences above are wrong.

Since there is no possibility of benefiting the world, we can only talk naked and dirty about whether the policy itself can benefit Qin Jun and the rebel Mo clique.

The two blushing people finally had no place to be ashamed in front of the truth, and no longer thought about the naΓ―ve idea of being a bitch but still building an archway, and finally talked about the third step of Qindi's transformation after a few embarrassing drinks.

And when it came to the third step, Solu almost squirted out a sip of wine.

Because the third step that the other party said is called "up and down synonymous".

The tall man bowed his head and said: "Mozi once said that if you want to succeed, you must be synonymous with the upper and lower. Therefore, to do what is above, it must be all; What is not, it will be not. ”

When Solu heard this, he couldn't help but say: "You and I have known each other for more than 30 years, and I only learned today that your original surname was Lu!" ”

The tall man naturally does not have the surname Lu, but since he is from a noble background, the sarcasm in Suo Lushen's words is naturally understood immediately, which is an allusion taken out of context in "The Twenty-Eighth Year of Xianggong".

He said: "The wisdom of the people has not yet opened, and Qindi is different from Sishang. Sishang can do the right and wrong of the people, but Qindi cannot. ”

Solushen didn't refute either, and asked again, "Then how did you do it?" ”

The tall man took out a small book from his bosom, the title of the book was in the Mojia cheap characters, the title of the book was "Cultivation Law", and then asked, "Do you recognize the words on this?" ”

Suo Lushen looked through it, and the words in it were all in the cheap characters of the Mo family, and nodded: "Of course I recognize this." ”

The tall man smiled, "So, I still have to thank you for the words and paper that you can make." Qin seal is complex and difficult to write, it is not easy to learn, and the people rule the grassroots level, and a large number of literate officials are needed, so Sheng Xuan borrowed this word and this paper to compile the law. ”

And stipulates that these words are the books of the officials of the Qin land, which are called the books of officials. With paper and words, there is a basis for synonymous top-down. ”

"We have compiled decrees, laws, how to harvest crops, how to plant, how to plough oxen, all these things can be learned from you, and then we will determine how to do it, and the officials will teach the farmers compulsorily, and the yield will be multiplied."

"The people benefited and supported them even more, so they recruited small officials, learned the language, and copied the laws, and the books were the same and the laws were the same."

"We made a decree with Qin Jun and taught it to the junior officials, and after the junior officials learned it, they taught it to the people. Cutting off any person who lectures in the Qin land, and any knowledge that violates the law and order is burned, then naturally the top and bottom are synonymous. ”

"This "Cultivation Law" is a must for farmers to learn, and it stipulates what kind of land to spread and how many seeds, how to pile up and ferment manure, and when it is best to irrigate, all of which were copied from you, and I asked the farmers to change it in Qindi according to local conditions."

"If the peasant officials are like that, then don't mention the lawyers."

"Within the three counties directly under the jurisdiction of Qin Jun, one voice, one tax rate, one law, one weights and measures, and one righteousness and benefit, this is what we understand to be synonymous."

Solushen casually flipped through the book, saw that it was mixed with some Sishang number symbols, and asked, "You even use the same version of this?" ”

The other side nodded and said: "Zhong Niyan, choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good." We choose those who are beneficial to us and learn from them, and burn those who are not good for us. Can't we do what we do to enrich the country...... Belch...... Can't you rule it by all? ”

He wanted to say that the rich country is strong and the army is strong, but in the previous debate, Solushen comprehensively criticized his view that the total wealth of the world is only increased by agriculture, so the rich country choked back without finishing the word.

Suo Lushen sneered and said, "But you forgot, the giant said back then that the righteousness is unified. Righteousness, profit. You have the same sense of righteousness, and you must benefit from the top and bottom in order for this righteousness to be practiced. If it is not profitable, it is not righteousness, and it cannot endure. ”

When the tall man heard this, he laughed and said, "Well said! It's a good one up and down. I still have to thank the appropriate contradictory interests, we went to Qindi, so who do you say you can rely on? Some people benefit, and other people's interests will be harmed, and if you want to change, you must know who will benefit? Whose interests are at stake? Who can support us? Who can oppose us? ”

"If we don't even know this, we're rebelling. Therefore, the truth is right, the key depends on who uses it! ”

"Then you say, who is our enemy?"

Suo Lushen said indifferently: "You move the capital and change the land, change the decree, this enemy is naturally the old nobles of Qindi." ”

The tall man nodded, "That's right, so we need to use the power of the people to fight against those old nobles." As you said, it is necessary to achieve the same benefits from the top and bottom, so as to be able to synonymous with the top and bottom, but the benefits can only benefit a part, and it cannot be said that it benefits both the old and the people. ”

"Therefore, our policy is to reward ploughing and warfare, and the merits of war are related to the number of land and domestic slaves."

"Under such a policy, businessmen can't make profits, and most of the work is in the workshop, so there are only two ways for the people to make profits."

"One is to learn the written word, to memorize the law, to be the same as above, to become a official."

"The other is military exploits. Gongzi Lian has been in Wei for many years, and he knows very well why the Jin people are good at fighting, and the root of it is Zhao Jianzi's military exploits. ”

"In the past, Zhao Jianzi faced Sanqing, and said before the war: Those who defeat the enemy, the upper doctor is subject to the county, the lower doctor is subject to the county, Shitian is 100,000, the people are industrially and commercially, and the people and ministers are exempted! So the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and it was victorious. ”

"Under the nobles of Shiqing, the people can't profit from the war, why do they want to fight? As you say, they don't know why they are fighting, how can they fight well? ”

"So reward the merits of war, so that the people dare to fight, and the courage is rewarded, so that the people can benefit, so that the upper and lower can be synonymous, and they will benefit together."

"Your Majesty needs to win the war in order to profit. The people need to win the war in order to profit. The benefits of the two sides are different, but if you want to benefit, you need to win, which is the same benefit from the top and bottom. ”

Solu thought for a moment and asked, "How?" What is the reward? Land? How can there be so much land to be cultivated? ”

The other side smiled and said, "It's not a reward for the land that has been cultivated." The land is vast and sparsely populated, and what is lacking is not land, but people. ”

"Under the land grant system, 100 acres per household is the limit. If you suppress merchants and prohibit the sale and purchase of land, then the land itself will not be profitable, but must be made by human labor......"

Speaking of this, Solushen snorted and laughed, it was the man who said that "labor can be profitable", and the man also knew that this was a loophole in his previous words, and he also pretended not to know, and asked: "If a household gives you a thousand acres of land, and you can't buy and sell, and you don't have hired laborers, what's the use of this thousand acres of land?" ”

Soluzan nodded, "You don't have to tell me this truth. What do you reward for those who have achieved military exploits? ”

The man said, "Slave! Granting more land, if there are no slaves, then it is not a reward, because you can't cultivate it, and the land can't be bought and sold, so how can it be considered a benefit? ”

"Slaves, it is only then that two hundred acres of land can truly become two hundred acres of land, not one hundred acres of arable land and one hundred acres of wasteland."

"Obtain the lowest level of military exploits, reward one slave, and grant two hundred acres of land. And so on. ”

After the man finished speaking, he smiled at Suo Lushen and said, "Don't think it's bad to do this, in fact, this is no different from the changes in those places near Sishang in the Song Kingdom." ”

"We are slaves under the law, and you shout that everyone is equal under the Emperor, but you let the rich annex them, and the poor and helpless do not flee to Sishang to grant land and cultivate the famine, and in order to survive, they have to work in the manors of the nouveau riche in the Song Land. You say, is there a difference? Is it that everyone is equal under a heavenly emperor who shouts on his lips? ”

Seven years ago, under the ruins of the Tower of Babylon, he understood the root of many things, and even began to think about the origin of human inequality, but he didn't feel that he could debate clearly with these two people, so he didn't talk about it, nor did he refute it, but asked Zhengse: "Qin Jun Sanxian, how can there be so many slaves?" ”

The man said: "The law is harsh, and those who sin are relegated to slavery; This is one of them. Rebelling against all the slaves owned by the old nobles themselves, and the slaves owned by Qin Jun himself, this is the second. Third, ......"

A smile appeared on his lips, and he said: "Third, if you preach that you are not of my race, your heart will be different!" Since it is said that the upper and lower are synonymous and beneficial, then the Qin State is the Qin State of Qin Jun and the farmers who grant land, not just the Qin State that wins Qin and those Shiqing. In this way, it was possible to preach that the Qin people were different from other tribes, and to plunder slaves. ”

"Don't forget, Qin is located in the west, the Qiang people, Yiqu, Zhai Rong, and Yi ...... Aren't these all sources of slavery? ”

"However, we can still benefit the slaves in our ways. As long as the slave is willing to fight and makes war exploits, he can also obtain the status of a Qin person and grant land and land. Besides, those Yidi survived there, how hard it was, and the Qin people were slaves, and they still benefited, right? ”

Solu Shen was secretly vigilant when he heard this, what the Mo family has been talking about is the concept of the world, and Kyushu is the world. Now that Sheng Xuan and others are doing this in Qin, and the upper and lower are equally beneficial, then one day in the eyes of the Qin people, the east of Luoshui is the Wei people, the Zhao people, the Han people, and the Zheng people......

Once interests are generated, it is impossible to say that they are only degraded to slaves, this is inevitable, not something that can be restrained by reason.

At this time, the other party only said that the Qiang people and Yiqu were not going to be able to really take Luoshui and Xihe in the future?

The tall man did not notice the look of alarm in Solusen's eyes, and finally led to the true purpose of this meeting.

With the words of the previous award for military merits, he said loudly: "In the past seven years, the military formation has been formed, and everyone in the people dares to fight, is willing to fight, and seeks to fight." ”

So Shengyu led 30,000 troops, crossed Ganquan and Shimen, and won two battles in Yiqu, with 10,000 slaves, and the army's spirit was great. He also seized the Wushi Yinmi and the city communist, moved the people to ten thousand five, granted land and land, and rewarded the expedition. ”

"Won all four battles, because the old nobles in the country trembled and did not dare to disobey the order; The people rejoiced and shouted long live, and many of them who had passed the age of time would also join the army; Yidi surrendered and did not dare to look south. ”

"Last year, the king wanted to take Nanzheng in Shu, and he didn't want to change in Shu, so the king of Shu sealed the year in Nanzheng...... The Mo family is stationed, this ...... After all, you and I have old ...... Now the Qin people are profitable, the people are warlike, although the monarch and the victory are nostalgic, but the people want to win the war, this Nanzheng land...... Always convince the people not to fight. ”

"The Mohists said that the people should not take the benefits of Nanzheng, and they always need to exchange other interests. So the king sent me here to discuss first, and then go to Sishang to discuss in detail. ”

"Mozi used to say that there are warlike kings in the world, and they are wars of injustice. But now, it is not the warlike king, but the warlike people, and the people are warlike and gain, and the gain is righteousness, and I think this is a righteous war. The will of the people cannot be violated! ”
