Chapter 102: The First Bloom of Sunflowers (4)

The real rulers of Peiyi gathered to discuss what the ink collector was doing here.

"I've sent someone to Shangqiu to ask what's going on. These writers said that they did not reduce the amount of money but the people were sufficient, and they paid a certain amount of taxes every year, and they also practiced righteousness to make the people rich. ”

"I've been looking at these inkers for the past six months, and that's probably the case. The world says that those who do righteousness do not hesitate to live or die. They used gold to buy salt from Shangqiu or the Yue people, and then sold it to the village community at a reasonable price, but this was only for the sake of righteousness. ”

"As for Wu Zhu, I think these ink artists just want to stop using human sacrifices. I've heard people say that the ink people value ghosts and gods, maybe they think that these witch sacrifices will anger the ghosts and gods, so the ink people are extremely dissatisfied? ”

It is an old man who speaks, his surname is difficult to say, and the family has avoided trouble a hundred years ago, which can also be said to have a long history.

When the warrior Nangong Wan of the Song Kingdom was captured during the war with the Lu people, Song Min Gong ransomed it, but when hunting, Nangong Wan and Min Gong competed for prey, and Min Gong talked about his capture. It is said that scolding people does not expose the short, and the cheap-mouthed Min Gong was immediately twisted off his neck by Nangong Wan with a trick.

The Song State Office fled to Xiaoyi, and finally used the power of Dr. Xiao to restore the country and kill Nangong Wan, Xiao was upgraded from Dafuyi to a vassal state, and was later destroyed by Chu, and the descendants took Xiao as their surname.

At this time, the etiquette law is still strict, and the three families divide the Jin Tian clan to take the Song Dynasty and so on, so that the etiquette law has not yet happened, and the old man can not take Xiao as his name, and the surname may be popular in the future.

Chu died Xiao, but he couldn't defend it, and some of the nobles of Xiao's vassals brought their clansmen to avoid disaster to Peidi, and gradually multiplied here.

The old man's family has been avoiding trouble here for a hundred years, and they don't care too much about Wu Zhu's wealth, but they just care about whether the ink man will make moves such as checking the acres of land.

Another said: "A few days ago, I also hosted a banquet for a few ink masters, and they were all of noble origin. What exactly do they want to do? If it's just doing righteousness, it's not about us. I'm afraid they have other plans. ”

Everyone present thought about it for a while, but they really couldn't understand what the ink master was going to do.

In addition to the sacrificial things, there are only two things that can touch the interests of the Moji.

One thing is that even though these families are officially recognized as feudal nobles, the fiefs of different levels of nobles are different, and the fiefs of these families exceed the number under the Ida system.

Another thing is to check the private mu, the private mu needs to pay taxes, but the private mu that pays taxes on the surface is not the real private mu of these families.

Whether it is the Confucian government that wants to be fully retro, or the reformers who want to centralize the power and change, they all have to be cleaned up.

But they couldn't figure out what the Mo's political ideas were, so they were a little worried that the Mo's would really take the opportunity to do something different.

Any change will encounter great resistance, especially since the big clans are deeply rooted in the local area and have the right to interpret, it is easy to agitate a large number of people who do not know the truth.

In the past, the children were changed in Zheng, which made the big clan angry, created public opinion, and made everyone sing: "Take my clothes and store them, take my fields and join them, who will kill the children?" I am with it".

It can be seen that a slight change can develop to the point of singing nursery rhymes, preparing to hire assassins, and having a coup d'Γ©tat.

It's just that these ink artists are acting very strangely, and they don't show the slightest idea of change.

According to their understanding, the Mozhi only want to open source, and increase civilian use in an open source way on the premise of keeping the obscenity unchanged. It's like a bunch of saints who cut their own flesh to feed others, at least as others seem.

This seems to be a kind of change, but this change has nothing to do with these big clans, on the contrary, if some advanced technologies can be learned, they can increase the income of their own estates.

The old man, who had already sent someone to Shangqiu to inquire about the news, said: "I have heard some things about the ink people, if there are really people in the world who can commit suicide to benefit the world, the people who do such things must be the ink people." They may just want to do good deeds, and I don't think there's a need to provoke them. ”

As a large family with a large amount of land, Wu Zhu's income from collecting wealth is only a part. Now that things are gone, you can withdraw at any time.

However, some local officials are a little dissatisfied, Wu Zhu's accumulation of wealth is their important income, and these people who own a lot of land can not do without it, but they can't do without it.

If the ink artist shows the attitude of checking the acres at this time, then the attitude of the big clan and the small officials will also be inverted, and interests determine the attitude.

The vicious fangs of the ink masters have not yet been revealed, and these people can only guess what these ink masters who are beyond the times can do, but they can't guess anything.

After arguing for a long time, someone said: "In the past, the three seedlings were in turmoil, and Shun ordered people to dance with their relatives, and there were seedlings to serve." Now the ink man moves the witch wish first, although he has not moved us, but he also needs to dance with his relatives, and tell these ink people that if they want to stay in Peiyi, they must surrender. ”

"If this matter is not taken care of, in the future, the ink will be fully embraced by the people, once we do the things of clearing the fields and checking the private acres, what will we do?"

"The book" says: Be prepared for danger in times of peace. Thinking is prepared, prepared and untroubled. "Poems" also said: mulberry soil preparation. That's exactly what I'm saying. ”

"I have a plan to make the ink man retreat."

This man quoted scriptures, and it was obvious that he was also from a noble background.

This person was born in the nobility of the Qi country, and he was the Qi country where the people were worried, and as one of the three gods of Zhou, it was used to continue the sacrifice of Xia.

A few decades ago, the Chu people were wiped out, and part of the Qi clan fled to the Lu State, and some avoided Pei, Zou, Teng and other places. Because it has Xia Yu sacrifice, it was once Zhou Sanke, so the descendants mostly take Xiahou as the clan.

The real Xiahou clan is still in Lu, this clan is only a small sect, and this fashion cannot be used as a clan.

The man also said: "Now the ink man has admitted that he poisoned and killed the witch and wished for it, but the poisoning of the witch and the witch is because of obscenity, and the sin of the ink person cannot be convicted of it." ”

"But the "Rite" says: The enemy's hatred is with the sky, the enemy's hatred is not against the army, and the hatred of the friendship is not from the same country."

"Blood revenge, no one disapproves, you can use this excuse to let the ink people know about Peiyi, they had better leave it alone."

As soon as he said this excuse, everyone present suddenly woke up and praised it repeatedly, which is indeed an excellent way.

At this time, there were a lot of dead rangers in the market, and some people made a living by avenging others, earning 100 gold a year.

The same is true of the social atmosphere, the law is not perfect, the clan era has just passed, blood revenge, civil private fights and other things are generally irrelevant.

There was an official among the autumn officials, who was subordinate to Sikou and was named Chaoshi.

The main job of the courtiers is to register personal feuds.

If someone's father or brother is killed, then they can register with the courtier. As long as you register it, you will not be guilty of killing the enemy in the future if you hire someone or kill the enemy yourself.

The autumn officials are in charge of punishment, and the local officials are in charge of the people.

Among the local officials, there is also an official named "mediator", whose main responsibility is to mediate civil disputes, especially personal feuds, blood feuds and the like, which require the presence of local officials in the city.

Either the two are separated and not allowed to meet, or they wait until the revenge is completed before registering: blood revenge is limited to one time, others kill their blood relatives, and they can take revenge in turn, but it is forbidden for others to kill back.

This atmosphere continued until the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and even in the Han Dynasty, there was still a strong atmosphere, and it intensified.

Su Buwei's father was killed by Li Hui, and Li Wei became the official of Dasi Nong, and it was not easy to take revenge. Su Buwei dug tunnels for a month, dug the wrong house, and only killed Li Wei's wife and concubine and youngest son. Still angry, he went to dig up Li Hui's ancestral grave, cut off Li Hui's father's head and pasted a note, and made Li Wei angry to death. In the end, however, the man was acquitted, and the people only criticized him for digging up the grave, but praised him for his revenge.

Champion Hou beat his uncle and shot Li Kang to death with an arrow, and public opinion in the world was not in an uproar and took it for granted.

Because his mother was insulted by officials, Yang Qiu rushed into the official mansion with more than a dozen people to kill the officials, and the whole family was not left.

This ethos was not formed overnight, but stemmed from the remnants of the clan era and the tradition of the Warring States period when all the people were soldiers, and at this time this idea of revenge was taken for granted. Qin changed the law for a month, and hundreds of people were beheaded because of this kind of thing.

The death of the murderer and the punishment of the wounded are eight words that sound extremely simple, but they are enough to stabilize a country, but at this time they are out of reach.

When the people heard the man speak of such a plan, they knew that there was a great way to do it.

Now Wu Zhu has lost the support of the people, the public opinion is surging, and the accumulation of money, drug killing, and pseudo-rituals are not in line with the righteousness of the people.

However, if the lost righteousness is secretly exchanged for revenge, and the reason for clashing with the Mo is not only to disturb public opinion, but also to warn the Mo to not try to meddle in Peiyi's affairs.

This can be regarded as a precautionary measure, in case one day the ink man really does the things of clearing the fields and checking the acres.

After everyone discussed, they immediately came up with various details.

"When the villagers gather on that day, let Wu Zhu and his believers, disciples, heirs, and invited rangers and dead soldiers of each family wear mourning clothes."

"Carry the coffin away, cry bitterly, and take the lead. At that time, he knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, never mentioning the poisoning and murder of the day, only talking about the touching things such as love and family affection on weekdays. ”

"After all, we are just collecting money, and there are not many daughters who kill sacrifices. People may be saddened by the murder of blood relatives by the ink man, and even feel that the ink man is cruel. ”

"At that time, the subordinates and clans in the city will be here, and these dead soldiers and warriors will ask for revenge and register it on the bamboo slips in public, which will be recognized by our and other clans, and they will also force the ink to accept it."

"Take this opportunity to kill a few ink masters, and the ink masters can't take revenge, so that they can know that we and other means don't dare to do such a thing again, or maybe they will leave Peidi."

"If they don't accept it, they will make a public noise, saying only that they are revenge for their relatives and that the ghosts and gods are also allowed."

"The people's will is changeable, and it is the most useless!"

"They may have hated Wu Zhu before, but then they will sympathize with the filial piety of these sons and disciples."

"The gangsters are ignorant, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and the Moshi wants to use the gangsters against us, but we can also use the gangsters against them."

"This is the execution of Qi Wu and shocking, and it can also make people forget the injustice of Wu Zhu, and only let people stare at revenge."

"You and I have dead soldiers in our families, although this ink man has many swords and reputations, but he may not be good at solo combat. As long as you kill more than ten of them, you can make the ink master know the difficulty and return. ”

After discussing all kinds of details, everyone present laughed loudly, thinking that this would not only turn things around, but also muddy the waters of Peiyi and change public opinion.

Anyway, it wasn't his own daughter who died, how many people could really care about the things Wu Zhu did? On the contrary, such a thing as blood revenge is exciting, and it is easiest to talk about those loving relatives on weekdays, and it is easiest to shake right and wrong with human nature.

These people didn't know what the methods of the Inkmen were, and the Inkmen rarely showed up in Peiyi City, so they thought that they could scare the Inkers away in this way.

It sounds like a perfect scheme, but it's also a viable one.

So he sent Wu Zhu away, secretly contacted, and prepared separately.

Home-raised dead soldiers, local rangers who depend on the big clans to survive, clansmen who are proficient in swordsmanship, and armor warriors who are good at fighting......

All kinds of people are gathered, hiding the rumors, preparing all kinds of liters of linen, just waiting for the time of Jin Wuqi, acting a bloody revenge scene, making people forget the evil of Wu Zhu accumulating wealth and doing evil, and only remember the love of revenge for relatives.
