Liuqing can think of the food problem, which is the foundation of Shangqiu City after the Mo people participated in the defense of the city.

As Shi, who has never been afraid to speculate on the behavior of the nobles with the greatest malice, he will naturally think of it, but he will not say it when he thinks of it, just like when the public loser class thought of not saying it in front of the King of Chu: I don't know if Mozi can think of it, but he will never say it.

Sending charcoal in the snow, the people of the country rioted, persecuted the Song Duke, and divided the aristocracy...... This is a tool that Shi has been thinking about since three years ago.

The Song State could not change the law, the Song State could not centralize power, and the Song State needed the nobles to divide power and check and balance, so that the fledgling Mo people had enough room to survive.

This will kill a lot of people, or a lot of innocent people, so it is impossible to share his thoughts with the rest of the Mohists: many of them are too idealistic, and what the Mohists need is someone who knows the cruelty of reality to be the secret promoter.

If a series of nobles monopolize power and thus centralize power, then the Mo people will lose their space for survival - whether it is Magna Carta or the Estates-General, they all originated from the era of feudal division, and it was the result of the struggle between the royal power and the aristocracy, and without a strong aristocratic royal power, it was impossible to rely on the help of yeoman farmers and burghers to confront the aristocracy.

As the one who controls the Xuanyi Department and the secretary of the book, there are craftsmen in Shangqiu who will act as eyes and ears, and he also knows all the news that the ink master knows, and the nursery rhyme that is surging in Shangqiu City is itself made up by him.

The conspiracy between the six kings is not known, but they know that under the persecution of the form, these nobles will definitely choose to fight to the death.

Except for the top of the Mo family, no one knew that the Mo family was ready to fight back against the Chu people on their own and lift the siege of Shangqiu.

Because they don't know and don't dare to imagine, everyone thinks that the Sanjin army is the only way to break the siege, and it is doomed that the contradictions between the pro-Jin Sicheng Emperor and the rest of the Liuqing are irreconcilable.

As soon as the Jin people came, the rest of the Liuqing had no chance at all.

Shi even looked forward to the early chaos in Shangqiu City, and the Xuanyi Department had already mastered the public opinion propaganda in the city.

Knowing that there is no chaos in the city, the Xuanyi Department and the Craftsmen's Association will use an unprecedented way to grasp the initiative of the people's hearts and public opinion, so they are looking forward to those nobles launching a "rebellion".

Of course, the Mo family must be neutral, not only to be neutral, but also to watch the fire from across the strait, and when necessary, to help the Song Duke of the third party as a third party and balance the internal forces of the Song Kingdom.

In the entire Song Kingdom, the power of the ink is so fashionable that it cannot be three-legged.

But in the besieged Shangqiu, the strength of the ink is enough to be one of the three-legged peaks.

Grain was the only possibility for the pro-Chu faction to win, especially after the Mo Scholar demonstrated sufficient skills in defending the city.

With this in mind, after finishing the tasks of those surveying staff officers, Shi took a few swordsmen to obtain a warrant from Mozi and went to inspect the granary of Shangqiu's treasury.

The grain in the treasury itself was not too much, but before the siege of the city, the Moshi organized a forced grain requisition, using some small nobles as chickens to kill chickens and monkeys, and then using clear accounts to return and other excuses, and collected enough grain to support eight months.

Saving a little food and carrying out the rationing system in the later stage should be able to barely support a year.

One year is the limit of the Chu people, they besiege the city for a year, if they can't get food according to the land, they will also face the dissatisfaction of the county soldiers and the food shortage in Chu.

Among the guards of the treasury, there are no ink people, and the number of ink people is not large, and they are basically assigned to guard posts.

Those ink people who will fight to the death in the future are not the army at this time, but more like the death squad of a grassroots officer corps, they can't do this kind of guarding, it's a waste.

However, Mozi also attaches great importance to the guarding of food, and there are many people stationed here, some of them are guards, and some of them are specially used to deal with firefighting and other things.

In the rules of the city, even if there is a fire in the city, the people on the city wall cannot fight the fire at will, even if it is out of good intentions, they must be beheaded, so there must be a team responsible for extinguishing the fire in some critical places.

The soldiers guarding the granary of the treasury are not old and weak, but they are not elite, and there has never been a situation where the grain in the city has been burned before, so they are not strict about this kind of thing.

Shi walked around the warehouse for a while, and found that many places were not rammed earth but logs, so he asked the swordsman beside him seemingly unintentionally: "In your opinion, if the ink master raises a fire in the city and suddenly burns the granary, may it succeed?" ”

The swordsman smiled and said, "Xuan Yishi, in my opinion, if you prepare for the city gate, you can burn the treasury with only a few dozen people." Even if not all of them were burned, half of the food in the city was eaten. ”

He didn't know why Shi asked this, Shi didn't say anything, and turned around a few more times.

The guards also knew the name of the suitable, and when they saw that he had Mozi's warrant, they did not stop him.

After going out, when I was about to go to the workshop in the distance, I met Gongsun Ze on the road, and the two were also in a relationship, but at this time they were not on the city wall, so they had to say hello to each other.

Thinking of seeing Gongsun Ze on the city wall before, he said strangely: "Didn't the giant let you guard the city wall in a noble place?" ”

Gongsun Ze raised his head and said: "Your giant son obeyed the king's order to defend the city, so I obeyed your giant son's order to defend the city." The Chu people did not attack the city, and today they are resting, and there are some things. ”

He is a righteous person, but it is the same, shaking his head and saying: "It was the Duke of Song who asked the giant to defend the city, not the Duke of Song who ordered the giant to defend the city." The giant is not a Song person. ”

Gongsun Ze laughed and said: "Even if Mr. Mo Zhai is not from the Song Dynasty, your suitable name is known to everyone that you were originally a shoemaker in Shangqiu. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; The shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Aren't you a Song person either? ”

"You ink people always say that they love the world, and they often say that ink people are people from the world and Kyushu, but they are not from Song and Chu and Jin. I don't know something, so I'm asking for advice. ”

Shixin said, it must be no good for you to ask for advice, but the other party has already bowed, and it is difficult for him to refuse.

Gongsun Ze asked, "If one day, the order of your giant prince conflicts with the order of the king, who will you listen to?" ”

Without thinking about it, he said: "Naturally, it's a giant." I am not a Song person, but a person from the world, a person from Kyushu, and a person from Zhuxia, why should I listen to the king? ”

Gongsun Ze's face turned red, half mocking and half annoyed: "Rebels and thieves, it's people like you." Are there no farmers among you? ”

Shi nodded, of course there were farmers among the ink makers, and there were quite a few of them.

Gongsun Ze seemed to have found a breakthrough point, and said loudly: "In this way, the farmer's field is not the king's land?" Isn't it a betrayal that the whole world is full of royal land, and the Son of Heaven divides the princes among the princes with Kyushu, and you peasants among the Moshi cultivate the land, but do not obey the orders of the princes? ”

This question was asked sharply and harshly, and the swordsman beside Shi was quite dissatisfied, and Shi said indifferently: "The ink master never thought that this land belonged to the princes of the Son of Heaven, so he never thought of betrayal. This land belongs to the people of the world, so don't we betray it? ”

Gongsun Ze laughed and said, "Ridiculous! You are the last class of morality in the world! Do you say that the leaves are red, and from then on the green is red? ”

To Gongsun Ze's surprise, Shi Ji nodded indifferently and said, "Yes, that's what I thought." As long as we make our truth the moral upper class in the world, then we are not considered a betrayal. Is there anything strange about this? ”

Gongsun Ze said angrily: "In your "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is said that the earth under your feet is round. So from Jin to Chu, in fact, you can reach it from south to north, will you choose to go north? ”

"The easiest way for you not to rebel is to obey the king's orders, and not to let your doctrine become the doctrine of the world. What is the difference between you doing this and the Jin people going to Chu and the north? ”

After shaking his head and sighing, he sneered: "But we don't want not to betray, we just want their truth to become the truth of the world, and not betraying is only incidental." Just as you pull the bow and cause your thumb to form a callus, is it difficult for you to form a cocoon or to learn to shoot? ”

"When you learn to shoot, you naturally form a cocoon; And if it's just to form a cocoon, of course, there is an easier way. The Mohists never conceal their own opinions, we just want to let our truth pass the world, and the rest is just incidental. ”

Gongsun Ze looked up to the sky and laughed: "This is the ink man without a king and a father!" Not only are you not ashamed to say this......"

Shiya laughed and said, "That's right, I'm proud." You see, at the beginning, I used the Mohist method of knowledge to protect the benevolence of King Wu; Now that the giant has used the Mo family's city defense technique to protect your king, what else do you have to say? ”

"You have to remember that it was the Duke of Song who asked the giant to defend the city, not the Duke of Song who ordered the giant to defend the city. If he dares to die, hum, I'm afraid that this Shangqiu won't be able to defend it! ”

In Gongsun Ze's view, defending the city is a matter of course, and he has never thought about a question: he has enough reasons to defend the city, but is the reason for the ink man to defend the city different from him?

As a low-level nobleman, he still enjoys the privileges and land under the feudal system, so as long as the truth that the whole world is not the king's land is correct, then the privileges and obligations of the feudal system are reasonable.

He is a direct subordinate of the Duke of Song, not a subordinate of the doctor who is re-divided, so he can only be loyal to the Duke of Song. And those taxis under the doctor are not loyal to the Duke of Song, but to the doctor above their heads, but the doctor is loyal to the Duke of Song, so the taxis under the doctor also participate in the defense of the city, in order to complete the feudal obligations to the doctor rather than to the Song Duke.

In essence, Gongsun Ze is different from Mo Shi and those doctors under him.

Gongsun Ze thought that defending the city was an obligation, so he thought that the people who defended the city at this time were out of obligation, so he was dissatisfied with the lofty attitude of the Mo people.

And Shi Ze clearly told Gongsun Ze that it is not an obligation for the Mo to defend the city, but out of the morality of the Mo family that benefits the world, so not abiding by it is not a violation of the obligation, but a violation of the morality of the Mo family.

With this confidence, it is extremely harsh to speak, and it makes Gongsun Ze extremely dissatisfied, it sounds like a person like Gongsun Ze who guards the city out of obligation, should be grateful to the Mo family for the mobilization and garrison.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Ze said angrily: "Since you are defending the city, even if it is not your obligation to defend the city, why do you not have the permission of the Duke of Song to form an alliance with the Chu people?" This matter is known to all the merchants, and the gentleman starts from the beginning, did you ink people make peace with the enemy first? ”
