Chapter Twenty-Seven: Crops and Hundreds of Workers Are Not Villains (1)
In the twenty-second year of King Weilie of Zhou, the first month.
The group walked outside Shangqiu City, looking hurried, all wearing short brown coarse clothes, but with copper swords around their waists.
A random copper sword can be exchanged for dozens of new clothes, but these people only hold the copper sword tightly, and they don't care about the torn clothes on their bodies.
The first person, in his sixties, is Mo Zhai's chief disciple, who rebelled against Confucianism and returned to Mo thirty years ago, and Mo Zhai is also a teacher and friend.
The people behind him are not very old, and they are all the lineages left by Mozi when he traveled south to the Chu State.
Some of these young people are already officials, and some manage family affairs for feudal monarchs such as Luyang Gong and Huan Dingjun, and they are well-off, not because they can't afford to buy new clothes.
Yu Huali looked up at Shangqiu City, which was close at hand, and her expression was full of worry.
Two months ago, Yu Huali, who was in Yangcheng of Chu State, suddenly received a bamboo slip written by Mo Zhai himself, and the Mo family disciples walked from Qi State in January to send a message, asking Yu Huali to return to Shangqiu quickly with some of the Mo family disciples of Chu State.
The matter is serious.
But it's not the first time it's happened.
A few years ago, Xiang Ziniu of Qi invaded Lu State, and at that time, the disciple of the Mo family was under Xiang Ziniu.
Three unjust invasions of Lu, this victory all participated, did not dissuade at all, and relied on the skills learned from the Mo family to break into a great name, and vaguely became the first retainer under Xiang Ziniu.
At that time, Mozi immediately sent someone to forcibly bring back a disciple like Shengqiu, who did not do justice and did not defend himself, and deprived him of the right to participate in politics and be an official.
Later, Mozi personally came forward to negotiate with Xiang Ziniu, and then met with Qi Gong and the Tian family.
With Zhibo, who was the most powerful in the past, he invaded everywhere and caused public anger, and now he has been made heir by the Han, Zhao and Wei families as a counterexample, after explaining the gains and losses of interests, the Duke of Qi and the people of the Tian family promised not to invade Lu again, and then let the rest of the Mo family disciples go to the Qi country.
This kind of behavior has been learned from the Mo scholars, and Mo Zhai has issued many warnings, severely criticizing Sheng Xuan's behavior of not abiding by the righteousness of the Mo family only for the sake of Yu Lu Ronghua.
But only a few years later, the same situation has happened again, and it is more serious than the last victory.
It was Mozi who strictly ordered the ink people from all over the world to elect representatives of various fiefdoms, counties, and cities and immediately go to Shangqiu.
Yu Huali recalled the message from the disciple, and knew that this time the incident was more serious than the last victory.
This time there was civil unrest in Qi, and many young Mo disciples were at a loss.
Mozi personally came forward to tell them that all Mozi were not allowed to participate in this civil strife.
But there are disciples of the Mo family who ask rhetorically, Mr. let us stick to our faith, if we betray our feudal prince, who will use ink in the future?
Mozi said that this is a small righteousness, not a great righteousness.
Do you want to be loyal to the leaders of the Inujon who broke through the Hokyo and trusted you?
Do you have to be loyal to the Yidi, who is clothed in the left hair, and treats you well, even more than the kings of the summers?
This small righteousness, when it is not clear to distinguish the great righteousness, is easy to be deceived.
When the great righteousness and the minor righteousness contradict each other, the greater righteousness shall prevail.
In the event of a contradiction between the decree of the prince and the gentleman, the decree of the giant shall prevail.
When the order of the giant is contrary to the righteousness of Heaven, the righteousness of Heaven's will prevails.
With this excuse, the Moists from all over the world must return to Shangqiu, listen to the teachings of the giants, figure out the difference between great righteousness and small righteousness, unify their thoughts, and still share the same righteousness.
Whoever does not obey shall no longer call himself a inkman. Otherwise, it will be the end of victory, and all countries will not dare to use it, and the ink will be ashamed, and there is no place for the world to be big.
Thinking of this, thinking of the matter of Qi State, he secretly wiped his sweat, and said in his heart that after all, it is still Mr. Gao Yuan, otherwise this time the Mo family is in danger.
This time the civil strife in Qi, according to the message from that disciple, was actually a coup d'état in which Tian and Tian Hu worked together to kill the head of the Tian family and their elder brother Tian Mourning at this time.
But the key figure in this coup d'état is the Xiang Ziniu who served Shengyu in the past few years.
Xiang Ziniu, who was held by Tian He as a dagger, was the key person who killed Tian Mourningzi.
It is impossible for Tian He to kill his brother in person, otherwise he will not be the head of the Tian family and the de facto monarch of the Qi State.
If Mozi hadn't sent his grandson back to bring back Shengqiu, with Shengxuan's swordsmanship and city warfare ability, Xiang Ziniu would probably have sent Shengqiu to this coup d'état.
And if Shengxuan is still under Xiang Ziniu's hands, with his complete loss of faith and only for glory and loyalty to personal righteousness, he will inevitably become the murderer who killed Tian Mourningzi.
If that's the case, the Mo family will be wronged, and no one will be able to wash it off.
Now, the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei are once again working together as the three secretaries of the Jin State to fight Qi, which is an unjust war between major powers, and no ink is allowed to participate.
As for the ending, although it is still in the process, even the bird slippery who is far away in Yangcheng of Chu State understands that as long as the three Han, Zhao and Wei families work together as the three kings of the three Jin Dynasty instead of a civil war, the Qi State will not be able to stop it at all.
The three Jin forces are invincible in the world at this time.
The state of Chu wanted to send troops, but the state of Chu divided power.
If the monarch wants to send troops, he must get the permission of the powerful vassal families such as Lu Yanggong, Ye Gong, Huan Dingjun, Pingye Jun, Jing Clan, Zhao Clan, etc., and the monarch's direct troops are not many, so he must rely on these powerful vassals to send troops, and beg grandpa to tell grandma to divide the post-war interests before mobilizing troops.
Ask for help from Qin, at this time, Wu Qi, the first person in the world to know the soldiers, is still in Xihe, and it is still difficult for Qin to protect himself, let alone attack the back of the Three Jins.
Yu Huali thought to herself: "This time the civil strife in Qi, I'm afraid it's not just a matter of the Qi country. Mr. invited us back this time, in addition to sharing the same righteousness and distinguishing between the big and the small, I am afraid that he is also preparing for the defense of the city. ”
Just as he was thinking about it, a disciple behind him suddenly pointed to a green field in the distance and said in surprise: "Sir, look, whose field is that?" How did you plant wheat in the winter? ”
The person who spoke was called Meng Sheng, eight feet tall, unparalleled in bravery, and even more affectionate and righteous, and he was the disciple of Yu Huali.
A native of Yangcheng, Chu State, is also a small nobleman, he has known the son of Huan Dingjun since he was a child, and he has a good background, but he gave up his rich life without hesitation, took off the popular song jacket of the nobles of Chu State, put on the short brown of the Shu agricultural industry and commerce, and became the ink man who helped the world.
This is one of the most favored disciples of Yu Huali, and Meng Sheng is already the second generation of disciples of the Mo family. When it comes to swordsmanship, there are few opponents except for a few people such as Gongzaoye.
When the bird heard this, he looked at it and was also surprised.
Not far away, in a vast field, the grass is green, which is particularly conspicuous in this bleak winter.
He rebelled against Confucianism and returned to Mo thirty years ago, and Mo Zhai thought that he was a national soldier, so he learned whether it was a hundred jobs, crops, swordsmanship, or defending the city. He is not the kind of person who can't tell the difference between wheat seedlings and leeks and doesn't know how to do cheap things.
Just one glance shows that it is full of wheat.
At this time, there was no habit of planting winter wheat, and the theory of Sumai was implemented throughout the country, and it was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a long time later.
Poultry Slip has never seen wheat growing in winter, and said to himself: "What is the field here for?" Didn't he know that in winter everything was sluggish, and that such wheat would not be frozen to death? ”
I was curious, and I heard a child's voice in the distance.
"Pedestrians in the distance, and detours. There's wheat here. In order to prevent wild beasts, we dug traps around the area, so don't fall into them! ”
In the distance, a child beckoned to them. The child carried a small bow on his back and a small wooden sword hanging from his waist, and his face could not be seen from a distance.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but take a breath when she took a look.
Meng Sheng also came over, pointed to the wheat field in the distance and said, "Sir, you see, there are horseshoe pits everywhere, and there are hemp rope tripping horses next to them...... Where is this beast-proof? It is clearly used to prevent the noble son who drives a horse to hunt in winter. The arrangement is in an orderly manner, and if you drive in, you are afraid that the horse's hooves will break, and people will be killed by the wooden wedges next to them. ”
"How can there be such a character between the village community?"
