The king of Chu first questioned the Mo people with the benefit of the world, and then asked the Chu people with personal interests, because he knew that since the king of Chu had considered the words of benefiting the world, it was impossible for him to say what he had prepared.

The Chu people in the tent looked at each other, silent, and didn't know how to deal with themselves.

The words that are unwise to say to the nobles are very straightforward.

The aristocracy present may have relied on the instincts of that class to do something against or support, without a clear goal.

However, the appropriate words made them detach themselves from their instincts, and made it clear that the nobility and the monarchy were contradictory, and the strengthening of the monarchy meant the decay of the power of the nobility.

The ministers could not refute it, and they did not know how to refute it, so they had to remain silent.

The King of Chu was expressionless, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

If it is appropriate, it is in the mind of the king of Chu, or this is the change that the Chu people will do more than ten years later: most of it is the content of Wu Qi's reform.

The king of Chu knew very well that the biggest problem of the Chu State was that the feudal monarch was too many, and since the second military meeting, all kinds of problems in the Chu State were basically caused by the feudal monarch.

The king of Chu did not care about the fact that the wealth and glory of the king could come from the people, and he could think of it as a matter of course, but the result of that it was that the throne was just an ornament.

There are many problems in the state of Chu, and the king of Chu also had the idea of change, but the resistance is too great, and there is no one who can coordinate the overall situation to preside.

And the words that seemed to accuse the ministers of being unwise were heard by the king of Chu: Our Mo family can help you change, we have ideas, the overall situation, and a certain military strength......

The king of Chu seemed to hear such a meaning, but he was just tempting the king of Chu to do what he liked and what he best.

In fact, Shi has no idea about Xiong Dang, this is a monarch who will die in two years, and there is no point in forming a good relationship with such a person.

The king of Chu thought a lot, and he had to consider the mentality of the nobles in the account, and said in his heart: "What this person said is very good, it can be said that he has pointed out all the problems of Chu, some of which I thought of, and some that I can't think of......"

"But when all the people in the tent heard it, if I rejoiced, I feared that they would be angry. Is it so direct when the Mo family speaks? ”

As soon as his heart moved, he wanted to break the embarrassment at this time, and he didn't say whether it was good or bad, let alone say anything about letting the armor set up an oil pot and fry the inker, but asked: "You said that Chu Fei was not single-minded, and that the people in the account were not wise." I am in the tent and a man, and I wonder what is wrong with me? ”

Xiong Dang's tone was a little angry, but in fact it was to hide the joy in his heart, and this anger was for the nobles in the tent.

It's not good to say happily things like "Mr. is talented, and he has a secret business in the account", in that case, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny tonight.

It's just that this question didn't come forward to answer, but let the rest of the ink writers answer it on their behalf, and they mostly used the principle of "saving use" and the like.

The original principle within the Mo family is very useful in itself, and the benefits obtained by a large country like Chu are far more advantageous than going out to fight for hegemony, especially when the monarchy is not yet stable.

The state of Chu is vast and sparsely populated, technologically backward, its internal laws and regulations are not in order, and there are many barbarians in the south, so as long as it does not fight for 20 years and strives to develop internal affairs, it is actually far more than what can be gained by fighting 20 years of war.

These truths are all facts, and even the King of Chu agrees, but in fact, they are in the same vein as the unwise feudal lords and nobles mentioned before.

If you want to develop domestic affairs, you must touch the interests of the aristocracy.

These two words seem to be saying that the nobles and the monarch are not wise, but in fact, every sentence is for the king of Chu, and the more the nobles in the tent listen to it, the more they feel that the ink is instigating the internal contradictions of the Chu people.

It's just that this kind of instigation has no conspiracy component, and what is said is straightforward and honest, so straightforward that it is like saying that the grass is green and the flowers are red, and the truth that is difficult to refute at all is often full of power.

The King of Chu was already moved, and the Mo Shi didn't have a word of additional words, but what the King of Chu heard was: The Mo Man has the ability to help you change, as long as you agree to the conditions of the Mo Shi to benefit the world, we have some scholars, culture, and knowledge......

This vague hint made the King of Chu drink a glass of wine to hide the joy in his heart.

But the nobles in the tent can't sit still, as the surname of the royal family, what they hate most is the change of the law, especially the content of the changes proposed before.

Everyone knows that if you change the law, the Chu State will become stronger, but what does it have to do with the feudal monarch when the Chu State becomes stronger? If the state of Chu is the state of Chu of the king of Chu, why does the feudal monarch want to cut his own flesh to make the state of Chu strong?

This is a simple truth, and because of its simplicity, it is impossible to refute it head-on.

Zuo Yin finally asked: "You ink scholars only say that you want to benefit the world, so you want to help the weak and defend the weak, I only ask you, is it possible that the Chu people will withdraw today, and tomorrow the three Jin troops will arrive, what will happen?" ”

"You say we're not wise, don't the Three Jin soldiers attack the Song Dynasty? Even if they don't attack the Song Dynasty, if there is another struggle for hegemony in the future, won't the Song people not produce food for labor? ”

"If the Sanjin also does this, what are you defending the city for? Could it be that the Song people themselves could defend the city? What is the difference between the morning and the twilight? I think you ink people are unwise! ”

Gong Stable Yin also asked: "You ink scholars say that the world is set in one, and you want to choose the Son of Heaven, just ask if today, which country can be called a holy king?" ”

Shi shook his head, indicating that he was nobody.

Gong Stable Yin said again: "Could it be that Mo Zhai thinks he is a holy king? ”

Shi still shook his head and said, "The giant never thinks like this, and he also thinks that even the former Zhongni is not a holy king. ”

Gong Stable Yin laughed and said: "Looking at it this way, this world cannot be determined to be one!" Since it can't be determined as one, what will you ink artists do to benefit the world? Today, you are around the Song, and you are guarding the Song; Tomorrow invades Lu, you defend Lu; The day after tomorrow occupy Zheng, you guard Zheng...... Is it any use? ”

"Besides, even if you defend the city, you can only rely on the three Jin soldiers to break the siege, since you think that there is no king in the world who can be called a holy king, then you can only fight endlessly."

He smiled without saying a word, got up and bowed around, and asked the ink man to take out a picture from his bosom and unfold it in the tent.

This picture is a hand-drawn simple world, and many places are extremely inaccurate, but on the whole, it is the first time that the whole map of the world is displayed in front of everyone.

Yan in the north, Qin in the west, Qi in the east, and Chu in the south.

The winding coastline and the Yellow River in the shape of a few figures...... This is the first time that these things have been visually displayed in front of everyone in the form of a map.

The ink in the tent has already seen a lot, but the Chu people in the tent have seen such a world for the first time, so they can't help but exclaim and get up to watch.

The king of Chu was the closest, staring at the Chu land on the map, looking at the mountains and rivers and the big cities whose locations were not accurate, and secretly praised them in his heart.

"It turns out that the world is like this. The one who drew this map will travel all over Kyushu and see and hear a lot. Those who can focus on the world, except for the king, are afraid that they are characters like the Mo family. ”

Shi Dao: "At this time, there is no holy king in the world, and no one can be determined to benefit the world. But the giant once said that the lesser of two evils is for the sake of profit. ”

"If you are strong today, it is nothing more than Sanjin and Chu."

"In the past, Hua Yuan and Xiang Wu twice prompted Jin and Chu to fight outside Shangqiu City, so that the world was stable for decades."

"If you don't use soldiers, can't the national strength be strong? Can't the people be rich? Can't taxes be increased? Can't the population be doubled? ”

"The Moji has made it clear, and it can be done. It can even double the wealth and population of the world within 20 years, which is exactly the way to benefit the world. ”

"Now, Lu, Song, Wei, and Zheng are all weak, sandwiched between Jin and Chu, and there are successive military disasters, which is what the giants and the disciples of the Mo family do not want to see."

"If the Momo said that there is a way to make countries not use their troops and double their wealth in twenty years, can't they promote the third alliance of soldiers?"

The so-called covenant is the product of the balance of power, he doesn't trust the covenant, and he definitely doesn't want a terrifying balance in the world of Kyushu, he is just trying to deceive the Chu people.

The reason has been made clear, and all that remains is to see if the ink can come up with something that will make the kings of all countries happy, to ensure the so-called doubling of the wealth of the population in 20 years.

After Shi Shi explained the situation, several ink men went out to retrieve a large number of iron farming tools from the wagon, as well as some other iron tools, and threw them on the ground with a clang.

The Chu people have seen iron, but it is either meteoric iron or a piece of iron, which is completely different from these iron tools that are suitable for making.

Even if these people are nobles, they still have to go to the fields to make a show when they farm in the spring.

As soon as these strange iron tools were displayed, they said: "The ink man has a method of smelting iron, so that iron is extremely inferior to copper, and every household can use iron as a tool." ”

"The peasants have ploughs, ploughshares, shovels, and hoes; Carpentry has axes, hammers, planers, and knives; Miners have drills, pickaxes, ......"

"Bronze tools are still easy to break, but iron tools are tougher than bronze tools, and the same farmer holding these iron tools is several times faster than the mussel shells of the bone tools they originally used, and a farmer can cultivate several times the field."

"The ink artist also has the method of composting crops, which can increase the yield per mu by half. There is also the skill of crop rotation and fallow, and the field of 100 miles can be made for 200 miles. ”

"These methods of smelting iron, the ink is the most skilled, and there is no second in the world."

"In addition to iron tools, there are also methods of weaving, farming, and making tools, which can be several times the previous one."

"If the ink is for the benefit of the world, these things cannot be hidden, but if these things are used for war, they will make the world displaced."

"If the Three Jin and Chu can form another military meeting, once the treaty is reached, the Mo Scholar is willing to let these things that benefit the world be transported in the world."

"This is just an iron tool, the Mo family has no words, and there will be more miraculous skills in the future, which can make all countries not go to war and multiply civilian taxes."

After showing these iron tools, he said many things that sounded extremely mysterious, and that ink masters had become commonplace, but that the Chu people had never seen but believed.

And when he said this, he said, "I want to believe in your covenant, that is really naïve." ”
