The official income of the Qi State is very low, as long as they rely on their own fiefdoms.

The Marquis of Qi couldn't take out so much money to pay his military salary, and the environment of the Qi State did not allow him to do something like Sishang, neither receiving enough money, nor being able to buy whatever he wanted, and the officers preferred to have their own fiefs as long-term income, so these officers of the Xuanyuan clan mainly relied on the income of their own fiefs.

1,400 acres of cotton is not much, but it is not much compared to an officer commanding about 300 people.

This time, the Mo family has already carried out land reform in Jiaodong, and the methods are extremely brutal: the privileges of any aristocratic fiefs have been abolished, the people have been encouraged to harvest the land that "does not belong to them", and a large number of family members of the low-ranking nobles have been arrested, and they have been publicly insulted and judged.

The parents and wives of this nobleman who was worried about his land income were both in Linzi, he was born in black and became an officer only last year, and his wife's parents had been in Linzi before, and the fief was taken care of by his distant relatives.

But there are also people whose parents, wives and children are in Jiaodong, and an officer sighed, took a sip of stuffy wine and said: "The people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining." The Mo family is doing this, and sooner or later it will make the morals of the Zhuxia in Kyushu corrupt. Everyone seeks profit, and humanity is annihilated. ”

"Such a person, even if he wins the world, will not last long, right?"

"In the past, Mizi ruled a single father, our army crossed the border, and the wheat in the public field was ripe."

"It has been suggested that it is better to encourage the people to harvest the wheat, and whoever cuts it will be his, so as to prevent our army from using the wheat from the public fields as military rations."

"But Mi Zibei thinks that letting the people harvest the grain that does not belong to them belongs to them is to encourage the people to steal and be immoral, even if they win for a while, they lose for a long time."

So he strictly forbade the people to cut wheat, after our army passed, cut wheat for food, although the Lu people were defeated, but the name of Mi Zi was spread in the world, that is, there were many people in Linzi at that time who called them real gentlemen. The country of Lu was defeated, but the rules of the world's public and private fields were preserved, and the people abided by the rules, this is the real gentleman of the world. ”

Speaking of this, he took a sip and scolded: "But look at the Mo family again, what did they do?" The whole world is not the king's land, the Son of Heaven divides the princes, the princes divide us, etc., those lands are obviously not the people's, but the Mo family encourages the people to cut the land that does not belong to them. ”

"This is to encourage the world to be thieves. If such a person wins the world, I'm afraid the world is going to end, right? ”

At this moment, the aristocratic officers miss a gentleman like Mi Zibei very much, and miss those true gentlemen who will maintain the system and rules.

Another officer drank a little too much and scolded loudly: "The truth of the Mo family is that it is not reasonable. When my ancestors followed the king to fight, where were those common people? What is wrong with my ancestors who were given a share of the land by virtue of their military exploits and passed it on to their descendants? Those common people didn't fight back then, but now they want land? Why? ”

The more he talked, the more angry the aristocratic officer got up, slammed the wine bottle to the ground, and said angrily: "In the past, Taigong wanted to establish a country in Qi, and the chariot was only one hundred and five, and the chariot was only seven hundred. ”

"Our ancestors fought bravely and expanded a mere hundred miles to one hundred and twenty cities and a radius of thousands of miles, why did our exploits become silverfish in the mouth of the Mo family?"

"What were those common people doing? How many are the original Leys? How many are just pawns following chariots? Is it up to them to fight the war? ”

"My ancestors made war exploits, as a descendant, they should have enjoyed all this, this is the principle of heaven and earth! What's wrong with us? ”

"The untouchables want land?"

The officer laughed loudly, stretched out a finger and made an insulting gesture: "When I go back, I will definitely kill those who followed the Mo family to harvest the land and return it to private ownership, so as to deter them." The untouchables don't know kindness, they just fear force, and I think these people in Sishang deserve to die. ”

"Do you see the eyes of these people in the village community looking at us today? Ha...... Hatred, resentment, malice, but there is no fear. ”

His words struck a chord with everyone.

In their opinion, they are not wrong, whose wealth is not passed on to their children?

Even if it's yourself, it's the same, fight bravely, what is the picture?

Aren't you still letting your children and grandchildren own land, fiefs, population, status, wealth?

Some people were originally nobles of Jiang Qi, and some were also of Chen Tian's lineage, but they were all the same.

They felt that when their ancestors followed King Wu to fight the war, what are the ancestors of those common people doing now?

Want land now? Why give? Why should the land belong to everyone in the world if it is a thing that belongs to nature?

Some aristocratic officers who were still sober tried to explain their reasonableness with reason, so they said: "Isn't Sishang still the same? Land does belong to man, but land can be bought and sold. Money can indeed be passed on to children and grandchildren, so what is the difference between that and directly passing on a fief to children and grandchildren? ”

"And those workshops in Sishang, according to the Mohists, wealth comes from labor, and the looms and jacquard machines in those workshops are made by the owners themselves? No, but it belongs to them, according to the Mohists, it should belong to the craftsmen who make the machines. ”

"I think the Mo family is no different from us, but they talk about them being good for the world, but we are harming the world?"

"Shit! I think it's just the big businessmen who want to buy our land, but they can't buy or sell it because of the closure of the land; Those workshop owners want farmers who have closed their fields to do things for them, but the people are not allowed to change their industries and not to move! ”

There was even an officer with a kind of indifference as if he had seen through everything, and sneered: "The untouchables are unwise, and the people only know the immediate benefits, but they don't know that after the land is private, can they be able to compete with those rich businessmen?" One day, they will have to pay for their short-sightedness and insolence! ”

"When the time comes, thousands of people will lose their land and go to work in the towns and towns, or to work in the powerful lands."

"Under the fiefdom cadastral system, at least the peasants still have their own land that cannot be sold, and at least we need their work instead of starving them to death."

"But they chose the Mo family, and in the end, they will have nothing! At that time, even a few acres of land where he grows potatoes will be lost. ”

"It's a pity that they are still waving the flag and shouting for the Mo family, how is this different from shooting geese after they are completed and the geese take the initiative to take off their wings and send them off?"

Several of the aristocratic officers shook their heads, feeling that the people were too stupid to reason with them.

All the systems in Sishang not only brought panic to the aristocracy, but also a kind of disillusionment of the aristocracy.

An orthodox officer of Jiang Qi's family, with a mournful tone, said with a wry smile: "The prince has a doctor, the doctor has a scholar, and the scholar has a subordinate people, and this is an inseparable whole." ”

"When the Mo family talks about contracts, in fact, only untrustworthy people use contracts, do real gentlemen use contracts?"

The gentleman said: If you can't believe it, the quality is useless. Forgiveness and courtesy, although there is no quality, who can do it? Gou has a clear letter, the hair of the stream and the swamp, the vegetable of the apple and the algae, the vessel of the basket and the kettle, the water of the filthy line, the "wind" has "picking the sa" and "picking the apple", and "Ya" has "Xing Wei" and "Zhu Xu", and Zhao Zhongxin is also. ”

"Only propriety can educate all people, even if there is no contract, it cannot be broken."

The Mohists don't talk about etiquette, but think that etiquette is difficult to do, so they simply don't do it, and release the evil of human nature, saying that there is no good or evil in human nature, but in fact, they have always believed that human nature is evil. Otherwise, how can we think that the strife in the world does not stem from insufficient education, but from the wrong rules? ”

He shook his head and said, "Therefore, originally, the monarch, the king, the minister, the doctor, the scholar, and the common people, this is a whole without a contract but like a contract. ”

"This is a kind of family for everyone, and the family has to separate parents, brothers, children and grandchildren, but in this big family, some people are parents, and some people are children and grandchildren."

"As the princes and nobles of the Son of Heaven, they uphold the will of God and care for the poorest common people with benevolence, so that the poorest common people also know that the king does not want to care about them, but does not know their suffering."

"They believe that if they have been wronged and humiliated, in the midst of distress, they will still believe that the king and the doctor will uphold justice for them, and that there will be a true and upright gentleman who will care for them with compassion and love."

"What did the Mo family do?"

"By making written laws, they are instigating people to find loopholes in the law in order to gain wealth. As a result, those who are truly well-behaved become victims of the law, and those who are unruly, cunning, and able to find loopholes become wealthy. ”

"They make the love between people disappear, and only the straightforward relationship of interest remains. Those mercenary cultivators go to cultivate the land just for money; And when the servants are sick and afflicted, when they are afflicted, those who have a lot of land do not take care of them like patriarchs, but let them die of sickness, because there is no so-called contract between them. ”

"They preach equality for all, and everyone is ambitious. You can be on top, why can't I? In this way, the people below always want to make trouble, and the people above must beware of the people below. As a result, there is no trust between people in the world, and only vigilance and deception remain. ”

"Merchants are ruthless and unjust, those cold merchants and workshop owners, who use stinking money to get everything they want, take advantage of the loopholes of the law, hoard goods that may make a fortune, and let their children no longer learn the six arts and etiquette but learn arithmetic and geometry and navigation to make a fortune, and they are full of the stench and vulgarity of getting rich."

"They used thin burials, so that the ancestors could not get enough sacrifices, so that people could not get enough utensils to use after death, and when they sacrificed to God, they tried their best to be simple, so that God was angry with all the people in the world, which led to the chaos in the world and the blood flowed like a river."

"Some of you haven't been to Sishang, but I have. What I saw was the damp and noisy workshops where the hired workers were working hard every day, fearing that they would be given up when they got sick, and they had nothing left, so what could they do if they were fired from the workshops? Sishang ridiculed us, saying that the peasants on our fiefdoms only had three or five acres of land, but I have to ask, what do those hired workers have? ”

When the aristocratic officer said this, his eyes were already a little red, and he said abruptly: "I almost became an ink master, but I found that Sishang is not a happy land, but even more sinful. ”

"I'm not fighting for myself, I'm fighting for the world, for the rules, for the real good of the world."

"Perhaps, our rules still have many deficiencies, and it is true that there are some people who are not enough to be called gentlemen, but all of this can be edified, compared to the kind of sin in Sishang, I would rather everything remain the same."

"I hope to be able to return to the era when the neighbors did not buy land, the princes and doctors settled in their places, the world was like a family, and the gentlemen were benevolent and caring. There are no decrees, everything depends on the true gentleman to judge right and wrong, and does not give those who are cunning the opportunity to exploit loopholes; There is no currency, the people do not change their jobs, they abide by their duties, farmers are farmers, workers are farmers, merchants are businessmen, people have no ambitions, etiquette and law are prosperous, the night is not closed, and everyone is healthy. ”

"If so, why should I die?"

When he talked about his feelings, he played his sword and sang.

Pondering the other side's deeds, and the other side of the note can be fed. The younger brother is a gentleman, the parent of the people.

If you think about what you do, you can make a difference. Brother and gentleman, the people are at stake.

If you think about it, you can irrigate. Brother gentleman, the people are at stake.
