Chapter 266: To Righteousness, To Your Own Righteousness (II)
"Agriculture, industry and commerce, each has its own meaning. Righteousness is profit. It's just that the righteousness of farmers only cares about farmers, and the righteousness of merchants only cares about business, but there is always only one kind of agriculture and industry in the world. ”
"There are always some meanings that are the same among the four of agriculture, industry and commerce, and they can make concessions to each other. Only the righteousness of princes and nobles is different from that of sluts and cannot be reconciled. ”
In the city of Handan, Hu Feizi was bowing his head and writing some words, which were not written to Sishang, but to Handan and the upcoming Mohliu Mo, who was going to preside over a meeting of the Mojia north of the Yellow River.
He and Qu Jiangzi, the person in charge of the Gaoliu Mo family's righteous teacher, have known each other for a long time, when Qu Jiangzi wanted to compete with him, Hu Feizi used the five brave words to make Qu Jiang give up the previous murderous and revengeful market rangers, and devote himself to the Mo family as a gentleman's bravery.
The two have not seen each other for many years, and they still have some expectations in their hearts when they think that the siege of Handan will be lifted soon, and the two can see each other again.
The relationship between the two can be regarded as that of a husband and a disciple, and the feelings of longing are not deep.
However, compared to the content of the speech to be prepared for the layout of the Mohists in the entire north, and compared to the hundreds of comrades with one heart and one mind, who were willing to devote themselves to this huge cause together, they would always be ranked behind.
The door was pushed open, Hu Feizi stopped writing, and after several liaison personnel who entered the city first outside the city came in, Hu Feizi motioned for them to sit down first.
After sorting it out, he first asked: "It is a foregone conclusion that Ximen Leopard will retreat, and after Qu Jiang enters the city, he still has to take a look at Ximen Leopard's movements." If he does not withdraw but waits nearby, he is afraid that the battle will continue. The Zhao Dynasty will not die so easily, if Wei and Zhao want to kill the soldiers, we have to come forward to preside over it, but mediation is not just based on words. ”
The messenger of contact nodded: "That's the case, but we are in one place, and Ximen Leopard is also powerless." ”
Hu Feizi knew something, and knew that the battle between Wei and Zhao was already a certainty, but because of this, he had to be prepared to fight.
The Sishang side will put pressure on the Wei state, and the Chu side will also put forward the Wei state's demand for the return of Daliang and Yuguan, so as to force the Wei state to focus on the southern front, and if necessary, the Mo family may use the arms trade with the Chu state to exert pressure on the Wei state.
Now that the siege on Zhongmu's side has not been lifted, a decisive battle can only happen unless the Wei army comes to Handan, but the Mo family does not need to fight a decisive battle, because Handan cannot be lost to Zhao Gongzizhang, but it may not be impossible to give up for the Mo family.
Even if Wei and Zhao reconciled, Gongzi's side would need to be defeated quickly and not given them a chance to surrender, otherwise the fiefs of those nobles and the peasants, slaves, and slaves in the fiefs would not be able to be redistributed.
The layout of the Mo family in the north of the entire Yellow River should be based on the first line of Gaoliu, Yunzhong, and Jiuyuan, and Hu Feizi came to preside over the affairs of the entire Zhao Land this time, and it was precisely to do this matter well.
Relying on him alone to preside over it will definitely be difficult to complete, and the Sishang side will definitely continue to send people to enrich the north.
Once the goal is achieved, it will be difficult for Qu Jiang to preside over such a big situation, Hu Feizi doesn't know who Sishang will send to preside over here for the time being, but some previous statements may send Meng Sheng, this is a suitable candidate, and it is also weighty, of course, Hu Feizi himself may also stay and partner with Meng Sheng.
After talking to those people about the army again, Hu Feizi said again: "Tell General Qu that before entering the city, tidy up the army's appearance, not to mention the matter of military discipline." There are not many opportunities left for us, so we should do as much propaganda as possible now, so that the people will recognize and believe, and some people will ...... Feel like we can be a choice. ”
What he said was naturally a businessman who was unlikely to share their minds.
Merchants actually have a lot of choices, and relying on the nobility is also a choice, but once the merchants feel that they have another kind of support, they will be the first group of people to rebel, because they don't have too much fixed land property, and they like some of the Mohists' righteousness about "people" and "property" more.
But they are also weak and weak, and they do not have enough strength, so they can only choose to cling to one power, and this power must be seen enough for them to cling to.
Of course, this power is not limited to the Mo family, just as the merchants of Wei can finance the restoration of Zhongshan State, if the power on the grassland is strong enough, they will also choose to rely on them, as long as they can get enough benefits.
The most suitable for the propaganda of the Mohists is the stage of defending the city, when the external contact is cut off, and the Mohists can legitimately organize people together, and the effect of propaganda is excellent.
Now that the siege has ended, and Gongzizhang's power is still the rightful owner of Handan, the entire propaganda and development strategy of the Mo family must be changed.
In fact, it was also an exchange, the Mo family gave up the anti-aristocratic propaganda in Handan and obtained the nine plains in Gao Liuyunzhong, which was the bottom line of the negotiation with Gongzi Zhang.
In the future, the development of the Mohists in Handan should be based on the Chamber of Commerce, rather than adopting the method of publicizing the people, and should focus on the overall situation.
The envoys who entered the city first did not think about this, and one of them said: "When you enter the city, the army will prepare its might, first, for the people to see, and second, for the sake of alarming the merchants who do not hesitate to smuggle all kinds of goods for profit. ”
"Didn't you say it, with three times the profit, the businessman will not care about Zhu Xia Yidi, and the five times the profit is enough for them to risk being torn apart."
"In Takayanagi, every year, people sneak into the grassland with some iron tools and swords and other things. It's too hard to manage. ”
Hu Feizi smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's not a problem. There must be people who seek profit like this, people die for profit, birds are caught for food, and fish are caught for bait, it is natural reason. ”
"But even if you bring in some iron swords, it's useless. If you fight on foot, you need to line up, how can the Hu people line up? If we don't line up, even if they have iron and bronze swords in their hands, they won't be able to beat us. ”
"The Hu people have ridden sheep since they were young and have ridden horses when they grew up, but they have no discipline and military formations. Five thousand warrior knights can always defeat ten thousand Hu riders, even if these Hu people have iron swords and stirrups. ”
"The Hu people need to loot to have money, so they can't loot, and they will soon be unable to hold on. Besides, if you don't plunder them, how can you have gold and brass coins? It is indeed difficult to prevent the transportation of some iron tools into the Hudi, but when you come back, you can drive the horses, which is easy to prevent. ”
"At that time, there will be border forts in Gaoliu and Yunzhong, and five hundred people will be stationed enough to support the siege of tens of thousands of Hu people, where will they attack the city? If you can't capture it, you won't be able to grab gold, silver, copper, coins, pearls and jade, and if you can't grab these, you can only exchange horses, cattle and sheep, and horses, cattle and sheep for ...... Haha, how many merchants will be able to bring them back? ”
"So, the key is whether you can fight or not. If we can't keep the high willow clouds, and the Hu people come and go freely and plunder grain, gold, silver, pearls and jade, then there will naturally be merchants to buy and sell. If you hold on, there will be no great merchant to do that, and if you are caught transporting horses to be put to death, and the journey is far away, how can you not be caught? ”
After a rough analysis, these people also feel that this is indeed the case, and it will eventually have to be solved on the battlefield.
Hu Feizi asked again: "How many people are you in Gaoliu, a border fort?" ”
The messenger said: "It's hard to say, generally one or two companies are stationed, and there are more than a thousand households living around the border fort. ”
Speaking of Takayanagi's matter, the envoy couldn't help but show some pride on his face, and said: "Even if there are only two companies of the border fort, plus the peasants on the side of the fort, it will be difficult for the Hu people to defeat ten thousand people. Their means of attacking the city are not to say that they are compared with us, but they are far from the countries of the Central Plains. ”
Hu Feizi nodded and said: "When Duke Zhou divided the feudal system, he used similar means. The princes and uncles all built the city according to the rules, the people of the country were soldiers, and the savages paid taxes, what did they rely on? ”
He clenched his fists and said: "Relying on the Chinese people to attack in formation, relying on the bronze sword and spear chariot, more than 1,000 people can defeat more than 10,000 savages." This is called armed colonization, and we use similar methods in the South China Sea, which cannot be used in the grasslands, but can be used in places where it can be cultivated. ”
"The problem here in Takayanagi, in the final analysis, is to consider profit."
"Agriculture, industry and commerce, each has its own righteousness, each has its own benefits. The customs of the Hu people are completely different from ours, and they also have their own righteousness, but their righteousness...... In our opinion, there is some unrighteousness. ”
"Zi Mozi said that it is just a custom, just like the Yiqu people burned the corpse for burial."
It is appropriate to say that there are still many beneficial factors within customs, and if we want to solve the problem of profit, it will be easier to change customs. Be good at finding what is hidden behind customs. ”
"Hu is bitter cold, and there is no grain in stock, a heavy snow, plague will make the Hu people have no food, now Zhuxia industry and commerce are developing again, salt, tea, iron, silk, cloth, where is it easy for the Hu people to get it except by robbing?"
"So, I want to settle the affairs of the Northland...... Either all the Hu people must be eliminated, or the foundation of their righteousness must be solved. ”
"Shi means that where you can farm, you will be armed and colonized, and those Hu people will be allowed to farm. Where it is impossible to cultivate, we will strictly guard against it, divide it, and go out from time to time to fight a dozen, and the big ones will fight the small ones, and the small ones will be supported. ”
Seeing the envoys nodding, Hu Feizi added: "You see, the righteousness of Confucianism and the righteousness of Yang Zhu can be spread in the Central Plains countries to become Xianxue. But the Hu people are also human beings, so why is it impossible for them to accept the righteousness of Confucianism? Why did Dongyi in Qi accept the gift of Duke Zhou? ”
"The righteousness of the Mo family is the righteousness of agriculture and industry, which does not distinguish between Zhao people, Qi people, and Chu people, but only between agriculture and industry. It's the same with the Hu people, where they can farm, let them become farmers and businessmen, and then they can accept our righteousness. Otherwise, our righteousness is empty talk, and the grassland tribes will not accept or approve it. ”
"We must remember that the foundation of righteousness is profit. It's hard to talk to a group of people who can't survive without looting about the righteousness of looting. ”
This is a complete set of systems, and it can't be finished for a while, Hu Feizi just tried to see if these people could understand it, so that he could explain it clearly when he entered the city to preside over the meeting of Zhao Guomo.
This is the keynote of the Mojia family in the north of the entire Zhao Kingdom, and it is also the general strategy set by the Sishang side, and it is a guiding opinion, and any means adapted to local conditions must revolve around this tone.
