After thinking about it for a while, I heard the grocery buyer complaining there, saying that the hired workers are hard to find now, and although vegetables are enough to eat, they need to put some oil, which requires some oil. What did you say that when there was no iron pot back then, but it was just like that, and the Son of Heaven still ate pickled leek flowers, but now the hired workers don't like to eat Yunyun.

Wu Qi nodded secretly, and said in his heart that this vegetable is linked to vegetable oil, and the iron pot is out, and the Mo family sells the iron pot, which also allows many people to make a living by growing vegetables, and can also make some people get rich by opening oil mills.

Those who used to be only able to farm can now choose to grow vegetables and work in oil mills, and there is still so much land that can allow more people to survive.

Hearing that the man was still muttering there, Wu Qi smiled and accosted: "Didn't the Mo family say that they were love?" The hired man does not love the hired man by giving him good food, but in order to make the hired man do more work for profit. In turn, hired workers work hard, not to love their masters, but to get money. There's nothing wrong with that. If your master can't make a profit, he doesn't need to treat his hired workers like this, does he? ”

When the man heard this, he smiled and said: "That's the truth, but the Mo family also said that if you sit on the ground and start the price and pay back the money on the spot, after all, you still want people to pay less and work more." Hiring a worker is like collecting more money and working less, this is the spear and the shield. ”

"That's what I heard a lecture the other day. Don't say it, when you think about it, it's really like that. ”

Wu Qi asked, "What does your master do?" ”

The man said: "This is the season for picking cotton, and if it rains, you will lose it, and it is the time to employ people." ”

"But usually, you also need to have oil, water, vegetables and vegetables, and these people who work with human servants have nothing but strength. But in the past few years, eating, drinking, and wearing have been even better than when they were originally farming...... It really doesn't make sense. ”

Wu Qi said with a smile: "Everyone seeks profit. I have heard that it is necessary for cotton picking not to rain, and when it comes to employing people, it is natural to treat those helpers well. Can be ...... on weekdays Even if they ask for profit, they have nothing but strength, but I'm afraid it doesn't have to be like this, right? ”

Speaking of this, the man snorted and said, "That's not the case. These servants had already said that the food here was not good, so they went to Sishang to suffer for a few years. There can be organized to cultivate together, or enter the workshop to work, the first few years are harder, if you don't give better food, send more money, people go to Sishang, who will cultivate the land of the head of the family? If there is no one to cultivate, how can you profit? ”

"The head of the family has long sighed, this place is too close to Sishang, and it is not good. The good thing is that the Mo family has any good things, you can know it here, and planting can be profitable. ”

"It's not good, it's that the hired workers are expensive, and the Mo family is recruiting people over there, if they can't make the hired workers enough to stay, the hired workers will have to leave."

"These truths are preached by the Mo family in the market all day long, and everyone knows them."

Wu nodded and smiled, and said in his heart: "Although the Mo family does not explicitly manage Taoqiu, in fact, it is still in charge, and those ordinary people also benefit from the Mo family, which is the truth that they have been preaching and lecturing." If there is no Mo family in Sishang, I am afraid that the income of this hired worker will be less...... They have no land, but they have nothing to spare, and when the time comes, they will give them some food, and they will have to work, and if they don't, they will die......"

Thinking of this, I thought about the actions of this Mo family, and I really couldn't learn it. In this way, the people at the bottom are more interested in the Mo family, and they know in their hearts that if Sishang does not fall, their lives will be better. If there is no Mo family in Sishang, their life will be hard.

However, the Mo family did not hinder the profits of merchants and the operation of landlords, and these merchant landlords, compared to the nobles of Shiqing, would rather support the Mo family, at least not extremely opposed.

In this way, how many people in Taoqiu are not in the same place as the Mo family?

Taoqiu is like this, and the Song land is close to Sishang for thousands of miles, what does it look like?

The wealth of the Song Kingdom can be seen from Taoqiu, Wu Qi thought to himself, if he governed the Song Dynasty by himself, would he be able to do this?

After thinking about it carefully, he finally shook his head, knowing that if he governed the Song Dynasty by himself, he would never be able to make the Song Land so rich and the people would be wise.

If you govern Qin by yourself, I'm afraid it will be impossible, if the Mo family governs Qin, what will happen? Will Qin Rusi be on it? Or will they also choose the means of Katsuki and others?

If the Mo family rules the world, they can make the world prosperous and the people healthy, and they can't do it when they enter the Qin administration, so what is the purpose of doing all this? Isn't it against the will of heaven? Moving against the riches of the world?

Thinking of the "inevitability" mentioned by the Mohists, what is the meaning of everything I have done to seek fame? In the end, it is harming the people of the world and the wealth of the world?

Wu Qi believed that if the world wants to be stable, it must rely on war, and finally achieve the unity of the world, and there will be no military disasters.

The former Mo family stopped the unjust war and helped defend the city.

And the current Mo family talks less about injustice and more about injustice, and there are righteous teachers and ordnance, so I think I also have such thoughts.

So, what is the purpose of what you are doing?

What about when the world is settled? Even if the world is set to be one, and you are the face of the world, not the appearance of one country and one place, if you can't make the world rich like the Mo family, what will future generations say about everything you have done in this world?

From the vegetable farmer who could sell vegetables for a living, to the handling of the conflict between those hired workers and the owner of the hired laborers, it was a very small matter.

But Wu Qizhi is going to be in and out of the phase, and these little things cause him to think, that is, if he is the prime minister, what kind of means will he use?

Will you allow those fields to be concentrated in human hands? Can you ensure that the fields are concentrated in human hands, and that the hired workers can survive without suffering? Can you make these people feel sorry for themselves and not resent them?

If you can't do it, how can you be unparalleled in the world? Everything you ask for and do, in the end, under that "inevitability", will eventually become the "harm to the world" in the mouth of the Mo family.

All this is because he has been influenced by a lot of moral propaganda of the Mohists over the years, and inevitably recognized the concept of "sum of wealth", and recognized that things can only be done well by following the origin of heaven, so he has such thoughts.

A few trivial things seemed to him to be difficult problems that he could not solve.

He has been seeking fame all his life, and when he was neglected in Wei and invited him to Qin by the Qin people, after seeing the wealth of Taoqiu, he finally began to think about the meaning of his fame.

He once thought that he had talents that could be displayed, enough to shock the world, and he only wanted a place where he could display his talents, because he firmly believed that he could do a lot.

At least, it can be done to "make the three armies happy to death, and the enemy country will not dare to plan; Govern hundreds of officials, pro-people, and ...... the treasury"

He feels that if he doesn't do it, others can't do it, so everything he does is meaningful.

He liked the feeling of being in charge of a country's reform and seeking prosperity and strengthening, but in Taoqiu, he felt that what he had done was meaningless.

When he was a child, he traveled and killed those who mocked him, and he didn't go back in order to make Shangqing's mother seriously ill, all in order to fulfill his ambitions.

Perhaps, it is a kind of thinking that confronts the rules of the world: why are those Shiqing nobles born as Shiqing, and they can gain power after the crown ceremony, and they have no ability.

If you can't be the general of the three armies, you can make the soldiers happy to die, the enemy country doesn't dare to plan, you can't govern hundreds of officials, be close to the people, and the treasury of the government, but because of the bloodline, you can be called the prime minister.

This kind of unconvincing brings that kind of ambition, the kind of ambition that can stabilize the world after being displayed, but this kind of ambition is just this kind of ambition...... In the face of the changes brought about by the Mo family, it has become a little ridiculous.

Wu Qi thought to himself, he also felt that this world was unfair and should not be like this, but everything he had done before was to make himself a Shangqing and resist these unfairness within the existing rules of the world.

However, what the Mo family wants to do is to push the world to reshape the world. There are many talented people in the Mo family, and their backgrounds are not high, but they do not recognize the system of this world, but they do not recognize their own identity, and their talents cannot be displayed...... They feel that the rules of this world are wrong, why should I do the best after this rule? How good is it to directly tear down and reshape the world?

When it comes to governance, I can't understand the will of heaven, so I can't make the world rich, and I certainly won't let the world be like Sishang.

In terms of ambition, he just recognizes the rules of the world and then makes himself proud of the world under these unfair rules, but the ink is to overthrow all this, which is a comparison between fireflies and Yuehua.

Everything he has done and will do, there is only one "fame" left? What is this fame? Is it the pleasure of ruling the world? Is it the joy of the world shaking?

He is not loyal, he is not loyal to Wei, he is not loyal to Lu, he is not loyal to Wei, and he may not be loyal to Qin.

I don't know why I have to be loyal, I am talented, I don't need to say anything, I don't need to say anything, I turn around and leave, why should I be loyal to Luhou Weihou?

I am a Wei person, but according to the Mo family, I am also a person from the world.

I am a defender, but what does the defense have to do with me? The defense of the country belongs to the marquis, it is the secretary of the world, it is not my defense of the country, and I have no fief in the defense of the country, so I don't have to be loyal.

I became famous in Lu Wei, but do they love me? It's just to use me, and I'm just to show my ambitions, but my ambitions are so small and ridiculous compared to what the Mo family is doing now, is it still necessary to uphold this ambition? Use each other, why talk about love and loyalty?

If you talk about the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, I have a Yulu in the Wei country, but according to the Mo family, the prince has not done anything, and everything that is produced by the peasants and industrial and commercial workers is done, so there is naturally no need for me to be loyal to the monarch.

and all that he received was given to the soldiers; He lives in the barracks all the year round and shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers; I seek power just so that I can display my talents; When he fled, he didn't even care about his family, and he didn't go to mourn when his mother died of illness......

It's all about ambition.

Twenty years ago, my ambitions could have convinced me that they were so ambitious.

But now, what is left of your ambitions? Small as dust, ridiculous as a child, and even unable to think clearly of his own ambitions, what are they doing for?

For the rich? I have a daughter since I was a child, and the rewards I received when I became famous and guarded the West River were given to the soldiers, not for the sake of wealth.

For women? Yes or no.

Then I pursue power, just for the power itself, or for the power to be able to express my ambitions.

Wu Qi thought of the conversation between himself and Shengqiu many years ago, and that time he said that it was just like what the Mohists said: Let everyone have their own strengths, and the world should be done; Jun his duties, the world has everything; Everything they like, the world is ready.

The power he pursues is nothing more than after eating and drinking, and he sees those who are in charge of the army as a kind of work that loves carving, hunting, and music.

He "likes politics and the army", so he pursues power, because without power, he is not qualified to do what he likes.

But if you like something, you must always have a judgment on whether you do it well or badly.

If you like carving, you should make it lifelike; If you like music, you have to go around the beam for three days; If you like to hunt, you must make sure that the arrows are not missing, and the beasts and birds fall in response to the sound.

I like to govern, but what I can do, the Mo family can also do. What the Mo family can do, they can't do.

What's the point of releasing this ambition? The people of the world asked me, can I make the world rich and the people governed? If before the Mo family ran Sishang, I could be proud of Shiqing, saying that if I ruled, you would not be as good as me, and there would be no match in the world. But now, with the comparison, people in the world will ask me if I can make the world richer than the Mohist rule? Is it better to govern the people than the Mohists?

Wu raised his head and looked at the sky from afar, feeling a little lost in his heart.

What should I do to live up to the word "ambition" this time? In the Central Plains, his ambitions are already a little bleak, what do he have to do after going to Qin to live up to his ambitions?
