Chapter 300: The Defeat of the Golden Jade (4)
The appropriate purpose is naturally to let the Mo family infiltrate the Chu State, take advantage of the opportunity of change to control a part of the Chu State bureaucracy, and at the same time use the opportunity to reduce the lord and reduce the Lu to cultivate a group of new classes.
Of course, the real purpose cannot be said to the King of Chu, but it can be secretly manipulated and infiltrated.
The reason that can be said must make the king of Chu feel that this is really for his sake, and at the same time, it is appropriate to make the king of Chu feel that the real purpose of the Mo family is to benefit the people.
Some political wisdom is not that the monarch is not smart, but that they are not experienced in dealing with the rebellious seizure of power in later generations.
Just as the donkey of Qianzhi is not afraid of the tiger, it is not that it can win, but it has never been seen.
Then he said: "The year before last was in Shangqiu, and I have already said the crux of the Chu State. In the secret room just now, the pain to face is also clear. ”
"Then if you want the reform to succeed, you need the king to have the ability...... When the nobles rebelled, they could hold out and defeat them. In order to implement the legal policy that is beneficial to the people of Chu, this is exactly what the Mohists are looking forward to. ”
"Then, with the help of these city-guarding equipment of the Mo family, guarding Fangcheng Luguan, so that the prince will not be able to enter Chu, this is the first step."
"The Mo family's mining in Nanyang can not only enrich your treasury, but also give you money to fight against the rebellion of those nobles; It can also benefit the people, and I think you also know that the crop reform in Pei County has doubled the wealth of the people. ”
"Only when the people plant and change can you recruit and train soldiers, otherwise the people will be dissatisfied with the war and the barren fields."
"Learn from Wu in Xihe, or Mojia and Peixian, to recruit people into the army, or in the future to order the recovery of the feudal land, and distribute it to meritorious people, so that they can be willing to fight for you."
Xiong Su is also a wise king, and he understands the meaning of suitability, which is a necessary means to strengthen centralization.
Needless to say, the benefits of weakening the nobility were to be discussed, and it seemed that if the nobles' fiefs could really be recovered, then these lands would belong to the peasants, and the taxes they paid could be concentrated directly in their own hands.
Theoretically, because there is less exploitation of the aristocracy, the farmer can be subjected to less exploitation, and with the technology of the Mo family, this improvement is obvious.
The peasants, of course, wanted to have a piece of land of their own, freed from onerous feudal dependencies.
It's just that Xiong Su thinks this is ...... Hardly.
If you say that you will directly attack the aristocracy, will the people support you? Do people trust themselves? Can the people help themselves win the aristocracy's counterattack?
He didn't take into account the deeper problems of Mohist infiltration, but just these superficial problems are already difficult to do.
After hesitating, he said, "This is exactly what you just said, if there is change, the people can benefit and then they will know the benefits of the law." However, before the success of the reform, the feudal monarch still controlled the people, and they were stupid and did not know the benefits and harms of evil, but they were afraid that they would not be able to borrow them. ”
Shi nodded and said, "That's why Yan Ying was built." ”
Xiong was even more suspicious, and couldn't think of any connection between the two things.
Shi said: "Yan Ying extends in all directions, it is an important place in Chu, and it is the old capital of Chu. However, is Yan Ying really just to prevent the invasion of the Three Jins? If the Three Jin Dynasty has already arrived in Yanying, then the prince must be afraid that he can already expel you. ”
"Therefore, nominally, Yan Ying's construction is to guard against foreign enemies, but in fact, it is to prevent the nobles and feudal lords from being dissatisfied with the change and fighting back in the future."
"As long as you hold Yan Ying, then you can gradually defeat those feudal monarchs who counterattacked. Yingdu and Yanying are under your control, this is the essence of the Chu State, and most of them are your direct fiefdoms, and if the reform is successful here, you don't have to worry about the counterattack of the feudal monarch. ”
Therefore, the construction of Yanying's city defense is only for the future. And some changes can be initiated in Yan Ying first. ”
"Now you know the talents of the Mo family. The world is also famous. ”
"If you can resist Zheng Hanwei's attacks in Luguan, build an iron-smelting workshop in Nanyang, and gain the trust of the people in Yanying, then the change can be successful."
"What if...... The Mo family giant recommends one person, can you be appointed as the county yin, can you change first? ”
The talent of the Mo family is not said, and the first battle of Shangqiu and the development of Peixian have long been spread all over the world. If the Mo family can be used as the county Yin, Xiong Su is sure that this can make a big county government harmonious.
This was a real bonus.
Mozi lobbied the monarchs of various countries all the year round, and also had the ability and precedent to recommend people as officials.
Moreover, Mozi wants to recommend people as officials, and the means are extremely high, which is also the reason why many disciples have taken refuge before.
Back then, Mozi first sent Guan Qian to defend the country and spread Gao Shizi's reputation loudly, and he also praised it because of his reputation in Weiguo.
The monarch appointed Gao Shizi and conferred the title of secretary.
At this time, Gao Shizi, who had passed away, was a die-hard disciple of the Mo family, and advised Wei Jun to practice the morality of the Mo family, but he didn't want Wei Jun to listen at all.
So he resigned angrily and gave up the high-ranking official Houlu, and Mozi also praised: "There is no way in the world, and benevolent and righteous people should not be in the position of Houlu." Now Wei Jun has no way, and covets his money and title, so he just wants to eat other people's rice grain. So you have done a good job, and it is worth learning from the disciples of the Mo family. ”
This incident has been widely known through the Mohist articles that have been spread in the market, and it is also known that Mozi wants to recommend disciples, either to persuade the monarch to practice the morality of the Mohists, or he feels that this is still a "king of the Tao" and can be saved.
The King of Chu never thought that the Mo family would put forward such a request as being a county yin, and under great joy, he said repeatedly: "What's wrong with this? ”
In a few years, the Mo family became famous, and in the Chu State, it was even a mortal enemy with some nobles, which Xiong Su felt that the Mo family could only rely on itself at that time.
Moreover, the reputation of the Mo family is spreading too much, and the publicity is too high, just let the person recommended by the Mo family be the county Yin, and everyone will not object, and he can still do this to some extent.
Xiong Su looked at Shi and said continuously: "Do you want to be this county Yin?" Your talent is known to the whole world. ”
Shi shook his head and said, "Not necessarily me." Moreover, although there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Mo family, there is actually one person. One person is the county Yin, and if he wants to benefit the world, he will inevitably not be alone, but assisted by many comrades. ”
"If it's just me, can I do anything?"
The king of Chu is more happy, not one person, that is a group of people...... If such a character comes to Chu State, these future changes may really be realized.
As long as you hold the area around Fangcheng first, so that Zheng Hanwei can't enter the prince's decision, then what happens after that ...... The king of Chu felt that there was a lot to be done.
The State of Chu is not the State of Song, and the King of Chu is not worried about things like the State of Song on his side, and the affairs of the State of Song are ...... The Mo family appeared as a mediator.
As for Pei County, it is not Yan Ying, in the eyes of the King of Chu, there is no possibility of the semi-independent situation of Pei County: there is no strong enemy around Pei County, and the number one enemy of the Mo family is the aristocracy, and it seems impossible to change without the help of the king's power, if you really want to rebel, the nobles and the monarch can be pinched to death.
This seems to be the death place of replicating the road of Peixian.
Since the king of Chu was moved, he took the opportunity to put some conditions that sounded extremely favorable to the king of Chu but were actually extremely favorable to the infiltration of the Mo family...... Or in the eyes of the king of Chu, the good policy was spoken.
The Mohists wanted to monopolize education and cultivate follow-up talents.
The Mohists must master the armed forces and infiltrate the armed forces.
The Mo family needs to open the wisdom of the people, and with the help of the king's idea of wanting to centralize power, he will first take the nobles of Chu State.
These points, to the ears of the king of Chu, are another kind of rhetoric that is full of benefits to him.
The royal division of the state of Chu is the elite force of the king of Chu, but Shi thinks that these forces are not enough, and a group of new troops should be organized.
In the first battle of Shangqiu, the Mo family's foot battle became famous, and there were firearms and gunpowder, which was even more powerful.
The king of Chu naturally hoped that he also had a "Peixian Righteous Division" in his hands, who could be able to attack a strong army with hundreds of people.
If the nobles become chaotic, they can not only control the capital, but also pull out to fight the nobles.
The Mo family has skills in military training, and it can be borrowed.
Shi said that these new armies should not use the children of the nobility, but a part of the industrial and commercial people, and at the same time, if the reform of Yan Ying is successful in the future, some small farmers can also be recruited to join.
Since it is nominally for the king of Chu, the king of Chu needs to pay military salaries, and the amount does not have to be too much, if the money is not enough, the Mo family can borrow it.
At the same time, in addition to handing over a part of Yan Ying's tax revenue to the state treasury, a part of it can be retained as the training expenses of the new army.
The Mo family can provide a part of the grassroots officers and trainers, and the training place is in Yanying, so as to prepare for the future.
When the king of Chu heard this, he naturally wanted to prepare for the future, so that if he completely turned his face with the nobles in the future, this new army could garrison Yan Ying and prevent the nobles from directly attacking Yingdu; When necessary, you can pull Yingdu to control the situation.
Whoever is in charge of the army means that the king of Chu can issue the tiger talisman, and after the army is formed, the tiger talisman can be issued to the person trusted by the king of Chu, and the soldiers will obey the orders of the tiger talisman holder.
That sounds wonderful.
A Mohist method of training soldiers, the battle of Shangqiu left a deep impression on the Chu people.
Second, some new firearms of the Mo family, it seems that the king of Chu can only teach the Mo family, such as those gunpowder mines that shine under Shangqiu City, where do the rest of the people know how to use them?
And it seems that the Mohists are not in charge of military power, but only to train the army, for the purpose of future reform.
Moreover, if there is a shortage of money, the Mo family can also provide loan support, and this money is obviously extra for defending the city this time.
As for monopoly education, it is even more fanciful, and it does make sense.
Don't talk about what to teach, just say that if the king of Chu wants to change in the future, he will inevitably need a large number of capable officials to succeed.
And today, it seems that the Mo family is the best, even the only choice, if it is able to teach capable officials.
Both of these things are outside of the previous negotiations.
The king of Chu also understood that these things were too confidential for the nobles to know in advance.
For the intentions of the Mo family, the king of Chu did not doubt it, in his opinion, the Mo family still wanted to "benefit the world", and took it as a treasure, and the Mo family did not seem to look down on things like Yulu. If there is a plausible motive, there seems to be no conspiracy. Besides, this time it was not a conspiracy at all.
