Heavy snow covers many, including beauty.

After the woman died, she was rolled in a mat and buried in accordance with the Mo family's "festival burial" method.

The tragic death was rumored to be the vulgarity of "being a silverfish is used to it, and I can't stand it if I do this little work, if we had died before".

What's more, it was also rumored that she might be pregnant with someone, but they were just playing and didn't promise her, so she committed suicide.

At least that's what the women workers who came here on the run and were slaves who were asked to come.

Soon people forget about it, and they have to learn to read at night and work during the day, so where is the time to take care of these things?

The merchants of the city spent the day discussing how to transport grain to the clouds in order to obtain a stake in the Prairie Monopoly Mutual Market Chamber of Commerce; The peasants in the city spent the day discussing what would be the most profitable thing to plant when spring was about to begin; The craftsmen in the city discussed whether to recruit workers in the Xuanlin workshop or whether to go in and do things; The soldiers in the city discussed what to do if the Hu people were so frightened that they didn't come to loot this year, and that there would be no military merit without the Hu people......

After the heavy snowfall, spring is approaching.

News came from farther afield, in June, the princes were to meet in Heze of the Song State, because the Song State was one of the few states that had not been involved in this war that affected the Central Plains countries, and it was also a place for the alliance that could be accepted by all countries.

The newspaper said that many matters should be discussed, including the law of war of the states, the righteousness of prohibiting the slaughter of cities, the exchange of land between Wei, Zhao and Han, the treaty of Qimo, the peace treaty of Chu and Wei, and so on.

Some people in Takayanagi are full of expectations for peace, but some people are full of dissatisfaction with peace: there is a shortage of labor in Takayanagi's workshop, the Mo family has reclaimed land on a large scale in order to maintain the military population, but there are still many people in the fiefdoms of the nobles of various countries.

In addition to this news, the newspaper also said another thing, many schools of Zhuxia came to Sishang together to discuss the three realms of heaven, earth and man.

This news was lively in the market for a while, but it was quickly overshadowed by the fact that a large number of local ink artists in Takayanagi moved south.

As soon as spring arrived, many ink artists came from Sishang, and the original work had been handed over, and those who had received the order began to set off.

The dependents were escorted by cavalry from two companies, and they took the road from Yan to the sea, from the sea to the Yellow River, and from the Yellow River to Sishang.

Those who were transferred away took Zhongshan to Juluze, and then inserted the road from Juluze to the western line of Qi.

Not only from Gaoliu to Sishang, there are columns of walking teams, from Southern Zheng, Chu, Qi, Sanjin, Zheng, Song...... There were a lot of people flocking to Sishang, and Sishang was like a huge whirlpool, and people of different purposes were converging in this direction.

Alliance's.

Forensic.

Transferred.

Studying.

Fugitive.

Transporting "long-term workers".

Trade in silk, porcelain, ironware, tea, cotton, Xuanlin, cane sugar.

Many, many more.

…………

Sishang, Peiyi.

In a spacious and bright room, the Xuanlin windows, which were divided into many small lattices because of poor processing technology, still let in more light than the window paper.

The warm sunlight of early spring shines through the green panes and sprinkles on the carpet of woven wool brought from Handan on the floor.

In the northernmost corner of the room, two people sat on their knees, facing each other.

In the middle of the two people, there is a table with two porcelain cups fired from the Sishang kiln, on which are written eight red characters in glaze.

"Profit the world, life and death".

There were two cups of green Haiyang tea brewed in the porcelain cup, one was already halfway drunk, and a woman dressed in cotton modified short brown was carrying a copper kettle to refill the water.

Behind the desk, there is a row of small square tables, and behind the small square tables sit six stenographers peculiar to Sishang, who are dipping their quill pens in ink and quickly recording something with more simplified shorthand characters.

At the bottom of the case, there are more than 20 people kneeling, and on the left is the master of Sishang, people from various departments of the Mo family, all dressed in standard Sishang short brown; The person on the right is also wearing short brown, but the style is different from that of Sishang.

On the left side of the case, it is suitable.

On the right side of the case, there is a representative figure of the Chu State peasant family, the leader of the Chu State of the peasant school, and the grandparent of Xu Xing, who later had a conflict with Mencius, Xu Xi.

All the princes and hundreds of schools of thought gathered in Sishang, and the Mo family needed to come forward to receive them, and before the big debate, there were some things that needed to be resolved first: forming an alliance.

Although the Mo family is now in full swing, it has just finished the civil war of Qi and intervened in the succession of Zhao.

But as a school, when the leader of the school comes, the Mo family must be received by the giant.

After a few decades, Xu Xi's grandchildren would spread the doctrine in Tengguo, pulling away the younger brother and disciple of the great Confucian Chen Liang, and returning to the peasants.

It was a one-sided debate, because Mencius did not debate directly with Xu Xing, but Xu Xing came to Teng and used his reason and personality charm to conquer Chen Xiang, causing Chen Xiang to rebel against Confucianism and return to the peasantry, while Mencius debated with Chen Xiang, who had just come into contact with the peasants.

In the records of Mencius's disciples, Mencius won a great victory, because the concept of the peasant family seems to be simply mentally retarded.

Just like the strange debate between Mencius and Gaozi recorded by Mencius's disciples, the Mohists had already solved the concept that the colors in the two words white and black were the same before they went...... Magical.

What's even more amazing is that, for example, in Mencius's records, such a brain-disabled and mentally handicapped peasant family, Chen Xiang, who was taken away as soon as he went to the Song Kingdom, was the younger brother of the great Confucian Chen Liang, and it was when Chen Liang had just died, and his disciple rebelled against Confucianism and had to bear great moral pressure.

Originally, the famous debate took place in Teng, but now there is no Teng in Sishang, Teng originally relied on the successful restoration movement of the Yue country to the south, and the Teng country that was made by the Mo family is now just a Sishang city.

Peiyi is not far from Tengguo, which is precisely the reason for this sense of chaos in time and space.

He has studied the doctrine of the peasant family over the years, and understands that Xu Xi on the other side is not an idiot, but he is afraid that it is not as simple as Meng Ke defeating Chen Xiang.

The two of them just talked about the kung fu of a cup of tea, and Shi had already heard that the other side had laid him three traps, and now Xu Xizheng was sincerely giving him a fourth trap, a trap that he had to drill.

"Now, in the warehouses of the princes and nobles, there are piles of grain and cloth, they don't have crops, they use the world to support one person, the Mo family opposes their behavior, calling them silverfish, which our farmers also agree."

Hearing this, Shi raised his teacup and pretended to drink water, his mind spinning rapidly. This trap is too obvious, and the previous debate has revealed a lot of clues, and it is appropriate to consider how to take his next sentence.

Now Xu Xi is praising the Mo family, so he can't help but answer, put down the cup, and said with a smile: "Zi Mo Ziyan, benefiting the world, naturally wants to benefit the people of the world." If you support one person with the world, how can it be beneficial to the world? ”

Xu Xi praised again: "I heard in Chudi that you are one of Mozi's most important students, and you are the one who can inherit Mozi's knowledge." ”

"So I have a question that I want you to answer for me."

I was nervous, and my heart said that it was coming, and this hat was also buttoned up for me, and I had to drill a hole after digging it.

In my heart, my mother sold batches, smiled and grinned, and made an attitude of please speak.

Xu Xi said: "Nowadays, merchants sell, buy low and sell high, the rich have 10,000 gold, even if there is no fiefdom, it is also the same as the grain and cloth piled up in the warehouse, accompanied by the dancing girls in the courtyard, they are not prosperous, is this considered to support a person in the world?" ”

"Many industries of the Sishang Mo family used labor to produce cloth, ironware, and xuanlin in exchange for grain, cotton, and oilseeds. According to the Mohist "Wealth of Nations", labor creates wealth, but why is Sishang getting richer and richer, while the farmers in Chu and Yue are getting poorer? Does this count as a farmer supporting business? ”

"Since the Mo family says that it is beneficial to the world, isn't Chu Yue the world? Since the Mo family says that it is beneficial to the people of the world, is the farmer not the people of the world? ”

"Please answer this doubt."

Unlike Sishang, the peasants of Songchu and other countries have really had a hard time in recent years, and they have suffered unspeakably.

On the one hand, they had to endure the exploitation of feudal kings and nobles, and bear military endowments, labor and so on.

On the other hand, they were exploited by the new bourgeoisie in Sishang, and the dumping of industrial and commercial goods and the depressed price of grain caused the feudal lords to increase their land rents in order to support their luxurious life.

The few yeoman farmers went bankrupt one after another, the handicraft factories dumped a large amount of cotton cloth, the price of grain fell again and again, and the taxes were high and high, all of which made them unbearable.

The Song State was even more miserable, the development of industry and commerce in Sishang brought about the commodification of large-scale plantation, and the small nobles annexed land and drove out tenant farmers—those small nobles were not stupid, according to the previous standard of tithes, only a few catties of corn were collected per acre, and the progress of agricultural production technology, the reduction of grain prices, and the abundance of commodities made them drive away those farmers who paid tithes according to their original output for profit, so that they could concentrate on planting cotton, oilseeds, indigo, wheat and other commercial crops.

In addition to Sishang, the merchant increased his strength, and all kinds of commodities were sucking the blood of the farmer, and the farmer really couldn't bear it.

Many people think that although nobles are not good, they are at least better than merchants; It is better to be a serf than to starve from the freedom of the land.

It is appropriate to know that this is an unavoidable topic, especially with the development of industry and commerce, accompanied by the intensification of the feudal system in various countries, which makes the life of the peasants outside Sishang really ...... I didn't get much good from the Mo family, and all I saw was the bad of the new era.

Xu Xi dug a pit that had to jump down.

Shi decisively did not answer positively, immediately turned in, and asked rhetorically: "I heard that the peasant family also tried in Chu State, and it was also for the benefit of the world, so what did the peasant family do in Chu State?" ”

Xu Xi said: "I waited in Jianghan Land, gathered more than 1,000 people, most of them were fugitive farmers, living in the mountains and rivers, cultivating the land by themselves, and the local feudal monarch wanted to expel him, but was persuaded by me. ”

"More than 1,000 people plough and eat together, and the sages and the people plough together. In their spare time, they weave straw mats, build houses, and weave linen together. ”

"Gather grain, exchange it for iron and other necessities, and distribute it under the auspices of the sage. When I looked at the Mohist doctrine of "The Wealth of Nations", I thought that money is just the currency of the people, which can be manipulated by merchants, but can't labor also be used as the basis of exchange? ”

So I set the exchange price according to the amount of work required for linen and straw mats, and I was not allowed to increase the price or reduce the price, so that the market could not be the second price. Everyone's labor is exchanged for full wealth......"

"No one takes away the fruits of other people's labor, and no one cheats the fruits of their labor, which is the real benefit of the world."

"The Mohists say, synonym, equality, and love. In my opinion, the equality of Sishang is a false equality. As a giant of the Mo family, don't you think that the iron tools you produce in exchange for food are far better than their labor? Sishang is now benefiting from the industrial and commercial people, but the farmers and farmers in the world are suffering, is it really heaven and earth, can this be called equality? ”

"Your equality is false equality, and we are the real equalizers."
