Chapter 364: The Gentleman's Golden Drum (5)

Needless to say, the matter of training, at the beginning was nothing more than the set of queues, marches, flutes and drums that King Shuqing was familiar with.

Throughout the autumn breeze of October, in addition to training, King Shu Qingwang has been busy with a series of organizational construction of the company, and he has to go to meetings every few days to study.

Most of the time, it is in the brigade, and sometimes it is organized, and some content is explained by the senior level of the appropriate ink.

After the scholars were organized and didn't want to get acquainted with it, he, the company representative of the Mo family, first formed a soldiers' committee according to what he had learned.

And this strange-sounding soldiers' committee was quickly integrated into the daily training and life of the company, because it involved the matter of "public supervision of food expenses".

Eating is a big deal.

This system had already been established when King Shuqing had served before, and now it is even more perfect.

Because before, when King Shuqing served for the first time, there was a word for "partner", which was a unique word in the Central Plains Army for a long time, and it was later introduced to the market. But now the term is gradually dying out among the righteous teachers.

Originally, they all had to use clay pots to cook rice, and in the conscription of princes and nobles, most of the time they ate corn or wheat, wheat was the majority, and wheat was originally a cheap food, and wheat that could not be bran was several times more difficult to eat than corn.

The clay pots were not too big, and the apprentices did not have tents at night, so when they set up camp, they cooked rice in clay pots around the campfire, as a "fire companion".

But now, the iron pots that are still difficult to buy in the wells of Peixian City have appeared in the army first, they are all bulky cast iron, and a company has two cauldrons, and there is a special unit responsible for cooking, which is directly subordinate to the brigade rather than the company.

The word partner gradually disappeared from the righteous teacher.

And the logistics system of the volunteer division has a very special place, that is, only enough staple food is allocated, and the rest of the vegetables, oil, meat, fat and other things are all sent to the company.

One of the main reasons why the Soldiers' Council was established in the Army, and which was quickly promoted, was because of the issue of food, which had the responsibility to oversee and discuss how to spend the month's food.

Many people think that this is a matter of taking off their clothes and farting, and this is a big move, and King Shuqing once thought so.

But during a study in October, King Shuqing finally understood the significance of this matter.

At that time, the ink master of the brigade represented Six Fingers and told a story to King Shuqing and others, saying that it was suitable for him to hear.

The story is very simple, it is said that there was a man in Chu who raised an elephant, and when the elephant was small, he tied it to a pillar with a rope.

Over time, the baby elephant grew to the size of six or seven oxen, but the elephant was still tied to a very small pillar.

At that time, the two masters swam south to Chu, and asked the elephant keeper in confusion, why did the elephant never break free from such a small pillar elephant that could easily be pulled off?

At that time, the elephant keeper said: "You can't take off your childhood, you are used to it, so it is a matter of course."

King Shuqing has never seen an elephant, and he has never heard of the existence of this thing before the ink man came to Pei County, ivory or something, many princes and nobles have it, but they have no intersection with him, so naturally they don't know.

Nowadays, many Chu people in Pei County, some of whom are in the south of Yunmeng, have seen elephants, and King Shuqing also knows that this thing is a strange and powerful animal with "pig's ears, the size of three or five cows, and a long nose that can hang down to the ground".

After telling this story, Six Fingers told King Shuqing and others, saying: Take it for granted, this sentence is terrible.

Those who are accustomed to the feudal system, public land labor, and unpaid labor will take the system of the world for granted.

But those children who have studied in Peiguo Township School since childhood think that everyone is equal regardless of the old and the young, and that everyone is equal, which is a matter of course.

Since the Mohists want to "choose the Son of Heaven and debate the good and righteousness to form a system", then the idea of equality for all people must be cultivated from an early age and become accustomed to it.

The righteous teacher and the school are the two places that the Mo family can best grasp, and they are also the places that the Mo family regards as the future, so these two places must let everyone be exposed to the concepts of "supervision", "public opinion", "consultation and centralization" and so on.

King Shuqing remembered that at that time, Six Fingers solemnly told everyone present to study that this was not a superfluous move to take off his shirt and fart, but a kind of implementation and pursuit of Mojia morality.

It is also from the most common and ordinary eating and drinking, so that everyone in the volunteer teachers understands the importance of "public opinion and supervision" - the food money is distributed every month, and the soldiers' committee is not only responsible for whether the purchasers are corrupt, but also responsible for their own decisions.

The soldiers of each company can choose to eat meat at the beginning of the month and lick salt at the end of the month, which is their freedom, but they must understand that after everyone's "public will" is concentrated, everyone must be responsible for the consequences of this "public will".

At the same time, it is also for the sake of not fighting in the future, between the villages, communities and cities, those who have returned to the countryside will take it for granted and accustomed to this kind of equality and supervision, as well as the system of consultation and public discussion.

King Shuqing came to his senses and understood the importance of this matter, and soon after, Shi came again, called them to a meeting, and also talked about the matter.

King Shuqing remembered that what was suitable for saying was more lofty than what the six fingers said.

He said that those who do not seek all regions are not enough to seek a corner; Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment.

Those who are interested in the world must seek ten thousand domains and ten thousand generations, even if the world is so big, and now the rules of the Mo family are only in the Surabaya Valley, this long-term plan must also be made.

If you want to do it, then you need to start from a lot of small things, so that everyone is familiar with what the possible paradise will look like in the future, so that everyone can personally feel that the Mo family's morality of equality and love is achievable, and it can also subtly make them take things like equality for granted.

To seek a corner, we must be clear about the future of all domains; For a while, we must know the eternity to come. Every ink artist must do it, understand that the ten thousand domains and ten thousand worlds of the world launched from the Heavenly Will, and the rest is to keep chasing after the ten thousand domains and ten thousand worlds that seem not far away now.

King Shuqing remembered very clearly that he told them more than once that day: the war is to stop fighting, and the war between the Mo and the righteous master is to change the world and the Tangwu Revolution, not to become a prince and nobleman under the old rules like Bi Wan of the Jin Dynasty.

The representative of the ink in the righteous teacher must solve the important doubts of the soldiers.

Namely: Who am I?

Where do I come from?

What am I fighting for?

How am I different from when I used to be an apprentice?

What kind of world am I fighting for now?

Does this world include me?

This series of problems, manifested in the normal life of the company, began with the most basic soldiers' committee.

There are many responsibilities of the soldiers' committee, but eating is something that everyone should pay attention to, and starting from this small thing, as the basis of the soldiers' committee in the volunteers, it is easy to generalize to the rest of the aspects.

For example, a series of problems such as the law, military orders, no offense in autumn, avoiding war and escaping, and so on.

Just as the king of Shuqing did not know how to use muskets, the soldiers' council in this army did not exist since the beginning of the world, but it appeared now, and soon gained widespread support from the soldiers.

In addition to being the representative of the company's ink scholars, King Shuqing was also elected by the soldiers as the representative of the company's soldiers, and this system was easy to implement during local training in Peixian.

Unlike other places, Pei County has a well-developed commodity economy, except for goods exclusively owned by the Mo family, such as salt, iron, and spirits, with the development of the agricultural revolution, many goods can be bought with the tokens of the Mo family.

Oil, vegetables, meat, fish...... These had to be purchased from the company's vegetable money, and the soldiers decided their daily life after deliberation. You can choose to eat a good salt at the beginning of the month and lick the salt at the end of the month, or you can choose to improve the water from time to time.
