In later generations, there are clouds, and the spring river plumbing duck prophet.

The first thing that the ink master will be able to perceive is the wiser of the old aristocracy.

As early as when a "businessman" like Jiao He was learning the art of harvesting in the township school, some of the small nobles who were originally against the ink artist had already begun to contact the ink master.

In particular, some small aristocrats with a lot of private land, in fact, they did not oppose the policy of the Mo people to break the well fields, recognize the private fields, and spread the public fields to the army to give private acres of tax.

Former enemies can be friends in the face of interests.

For example, during the Wuzhu incident, after Xia Qi, who wanted to take revenge on the ink man, he saw the ink man's methods and power with his own eyes, and after hearing some ideas about the future, he consciously and secretly contacted the ink man.

At the time of the Wuzhu incident, he gave advice to those little nobles, if the Mo people wanted to change their private acres, don't try to fight, but find a way to get the most benefits from this irreversible trend.

Unfortunately, the rest of the people may not understand it, and they may not be willing to listen to it.

Xia Qi didn't care about those people anymore, and took the initiative to meet with the ink collector as early as this autumn when the beans were harvested.

When the cast iron and iron farming tools were boiling in Pei County, Xia Qi's clan came into contact with the ink master again.

In fact, Mohe and this kind of person can really cooperate.

Old aristocrats like Xia Qi, who have more private acres but less power, can easily be transformed into new upstarts.

They had money and could buy ironware.

They have land, and what the Mo people want is to break the well field and recognize the private mu, not to divide the land when there is less land and more people.

Once iron tools began to spread, their land did not need to be cultivated by so many people, and if they wanted to obtain the most profits, they would take the initiative to drive out some of the people who had already leased the land, and turn to their own land management, planting cotton, oil and other crops.

As the innovation of agricultural technology spreads beyond Pei County, and even the Mo people take the initiative to spread it outside Pei County, a more developed exchange economy based on agriculture will allow the development of handicrafts and cash crops.

The key to this lies in the policy of the Mohists, if the Mohists co-opt those hired peasants and serfs in the fields to provide loans, iron tools, and a five-year tax exemption policy for newly cultivated land, these people who originally lived on the land will soon flee to the Mohists.

However, if the Moji did not provide these people with loans, iron tools, etc., and the policy changed slightly, those who were originally dependent on the land could still easily become "cultivators", that is, agricultural workers.

The difference between a slight policy swing is support and resolute opposition.

Considering the development of the handicraft industry in the near future, he actually did not want Peixian to be all wealthy yeoman farmers, and he even ...... I hope there will be a group of landless people who are extremely poor.

Therefore, in fact, there is room for cooperation between the Moists and the old aristocracy who have more private acres and do not rely on a large amount of public land, as long as they are willing to give up the exploitation of personal dependence, which has hindered the increase in productivity after the advent of iron cattle farming.

They can be business landlords, they own cattle and horses, land money, they can grow some new crops and make a fortune.

And those old aristocrats who still counted on the personal dependence of the serfs in the well fields to profit from their dependence, they were unwilling to go into the garbage heap by themselves, and they were unwilling to change their identities spontaneously, which made the Mo people very helpless, so they had to give them a ride.

At this time, I feel that the time is almost over.

After explaining these truths to the Mo people present, Mozi said: "There is news from Chu that the king of Chu has dispatched the division of Wang, the division of Yangxia, and the division of Chen. According to the news from Meng Sheng and Qu Jiang, the king of Chu should now go to Anling. ”

I recalled it, and it was about the same time.

King Chu Sheng will either die this year or next year, and this time it is inevitable to send troops to besiege the Song Dynasty.

Immediately, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han, and Qin will all die monarchs, and King Chu Sheng will die about a year earlier than them, so it can be said that all countries will be in chaos for a while.

If you don't take advantage of such favorable external conditions to make some big moves, you feel really ashamed of the memories of the early years of the Warring States period in your mind.

What exactly should the ink artist do in Pei County, in fact, most of them are suitable ideas.

But now, this matter may cause some controversy, so these words cannot be said by Shi, Mozi chose to speak on his own, in order to suppress the internal controversy.

Mozi agrees with Shi's opinion, but also knows that Shizi is still young after all, and many things after the internal reorganization of Mozi have to be discussed to reach the same sense of the top and bottom.

In the same way, Mozi and Shi will not receive exactly the same support within the Mozi.

When Mozi said those opinions that had already been discussed at the top level, many of the Mozi who had just known about it were secretly surprised.

At the end of April and the beginning of May, the wheat harvest will be harvested, and the cadres of the ink scholars and the volunteers of Pei County will go to Shangqiu at the end of March.

Before going to Shangqiu, he first recognized the private mu in the six townships, abolished the Jingtian Gongtian, and apportioned the military endowment, Qiu Jia endowment, and cattle and horse endowment in the Jingtian Gongtian into the mu tax.

Before the wheat harvest, according to the principle of one out of ten households, several canals in the six townships were dug in advance that could be completed by the end of summer.

This required the full cooperation of the iron-smelting workshops to produce iron tools for digging trenches.

It is better to dig the mobilization of the ditch, which is completed by February, and if all goes well, just dig the canal; If it doesn't go well, divide your weapons and prepare to fight those petty nobles.

The Moshi did not completely control the Pengzhi in Pei County before, and there was only the Ink Craftsman's Guild and some farmers who joined Peiguo Township in Pei County, and there was no real effective rule.

Therefore, before March, the ink people need to clean up the Peng officials in Pei County at one time, and replace them with their own people with the standard of "Shangxian" of the ink people, so as to completely control Pei County.

On the premise of not touching the original landed people in Pei County, the military endowment system was forcibly changed, the fiefs and public fields of the minor nobles were broken, and they were forced to pay the mu tax.

Once the private mu tax began to be paid and the officials of Pei County were replaced with inkers, the rent of the private land of these minor nobles would definitely increase, and the farmers who rented the land would have to face a choice.

If they cooperated, they would not be rude, recognizing the private acres of the minor nobles, and at the same time giving loans and iron tools to the peasants who rented the land, so that the petty nobles were forced to sell the uncultivated land.

If they don't cooperate, then go rough.

Anyway, after the rough move, no force will touch Peidi within a few years - even if the Mo people have a conflict with the Chu State in the process of defending the city, as long as they can reach an alliance to ensure the absolute neutrality of the Song State in the Jin and Chu hegemony competition, then if the forces of the Three Jin Dynasty can penetrate deep into Pei County to attack the Mo people, the Chu people will also abandon their previous suspicions to help.

To sum up, the general process is very clear.

Concentrate the power of the Mo and the righteous master to ensure absolute military and political superiority over the old nobles of Peixian.

At the beginning of February, in the name of building water conservancy, farmers in Pei County were recruited, weapons were distributed, and training was intensive.

At the end of February, the local deep-rooted officials in Pei County were eliminated, and those who replaced them with ink became grassroots officials.

At the beginning of March, the reform of private mu was carried out, the well fields were abolished, and the military tax, the Qiu Jia tax, and the chariot and horse tax were included in the private mu tax, but it was not levied for the time being, but was levied in the autumn.

In mid-March, in response to a possible counterattack, the local iron-smelting and aqueduct farmers were left to recruit farmers, as well as a part of the ink masters, the main force of the ink masters and the righteous masters to go to Shangqiu.

The wheat harvest is carried out at the end of April, and the land deeds are measured at the beginning of May, and continue until the autumn harvest, after which the tax is officially carried out according to the new tax system.

If the efficiency of tax collection can be maintained deep into the land of the old local aristocracy, then by next year, these old aristocrats will definitely pass the tax on to the tenant farmers who lease their land.

The Moji provided iron tools and loans, as well as private acres of acreage, encouraged the tenants who had been raised to rent in kind to flee, organized them to open up the wasteland, and took the initiative to intensify the conflict.

Everything goes well, the main force of the Moshi will return next spring, and get the status of a vassal state recognized by the Duke of Song, and when the contradiction intensifies to the most intense, kill another batch, completely solve the old nobles of Peixian, and completely control Peixian.

This is one link after another, if the Peng officials in Pei County are not ink makers, then there are loopholes in many things to drill.

The Moshi are not locals, and they have nothing to do with the locals, and they can completely control the situation by temporarily serving as the officials of Pei County, coupled with their business capabilities and the support of the military forces behind them.

For this whole set of plans, there are several ink masters who have doubts, even if Mozi said it, but the doubts in their hearts are still asked.

"Sir, the selection of Pei County's subordinate officials...... How can you be considered a shangxian? How can we be guaranteed to be our ink masters? After all, this is related to Shang Xian, and it is also related to the integrity of the ink ......"

Mozi smiled: "Suitable, can you answer?" ”

Shi Da laughed: "It's easy! We have straw and silk, and we need to know how to count nine or something, right? Need to be literate, right? Then let's take the test, those who can go up and those who can't go down. ”

The ink man who asked the question thought for a moment and said: "Although those subordinate officials colluded with Wu Zhu back then, they still understand something after all, but I am afraid that when the time comes, the ink man will have to talk about Xinnuo, I am afraid that it will not be easy to do." ”

Shi pointed to some cheap characters and a few Arabic numerals on the wall, and said with a smile: "What if the questions on the straw silk are all written in such words and numbers?" ”

For a while, many people who already knew couldn't hold back their laughter, while some who didn't know about it were dumbfounded by this "shamelessness".

Shi spread his hands and said: "We are still virtuous, we are trustworthy, and we keep our promises." However, they can't write or count, and they are obviously not virtuous, so what can we do? I estimate that Pei County needs a total of 20 people, and we will only need 20 people. Discuss internally who to let go, and whoever goes. Later, the children in the village school learned, and that was another matter. ”

Someone asked, "Will there be less than twenty?" ”

Shi shook his head and said, "Not a lot." Many farmers in Pei County are from Peiguo Township, and the craftsmen's affairs are led by the craftsmen's association, and everything is normal in the market. These twenty people are just making Peiyi a township, and the real government of Pei County is still in Peiguo Township. ”

The man asked, "What are the ......officials?" If you have nothing to do, don't you resent? What should they do if they make trouble before we go to Shangqiu? ”

Hearing this, he raised his head and laughed: "At the beginning of the Wu Zhu incident, we left three living mouths. Did those officials also collect money with Wu Zhu? I didn't say it at the time, but it doesn't mean we forgot it, and it doesn't mean that this thing doesn't exist. ”

"If you participate, then take it back, and if you count the interest, it will be calculated according to the interest of the big Peiyi family, and you have to repay it after so many years."

"Can't afford to pay it back? Then do hard labor and arrest them all. Isn't the iron mine short of people? If they can escape from there and make trouble, I think they have the ability! ”

Those few people thought of the three witch wishes left over from the Jin Wuqi incident two years ago, and they immediately understood...... Where did he survive only because of the function at the beginning, this was clearly an excuse to wait until the ink man's fist was hard enough.
