Chapter Seventy-Seven: Rising to the Top
Speaking of which, in fact, it has already been said crookedly, and it is about to start arguing again.
On the question of who should own the land, the attitude of the Mo family and the peasant family is basically the same, and from the inference of Tianzhi and Fa Nature, it is concluded that there was no Son of Heaven in ancient times, and Shennong was not born and planted, and the land did not belong to anyone at that time.
The difference between the Mo family and the peasant family was what to do after the land was taken back from the aristocracy?
Is it an equal distribution of smallholder farmers? Or do you want to find a way to let the land merge and operate? Is it a merger? Or do you not suppress the merger? Or is it possible for the world to directly learn from the model of Si Shang from the aristocratic feudal field and the village community public land system, skip the merger stage, and directly enter the cooperative village community system?
Now in front of the peasant family and the Mo family, there is a deep pit. The Mo family believes that although this pit is dark, it is better than the old system of princes and nobles, and if you want to go to the other side, you have to walk into this pit and climb out again.
The farmer thinks, you see there is a rainbow in the sky, that is the remnants of the Spring and Autumn Village and the public field, although this rainbow is virtual, but we can directly follow the rainbow to build a bridge to cross, no matter how bad we are, we are just this pit, on this side of the pit to divide the world into small farmers to live happily, don't you want to go to the other side?
The Mo family thinks that it is not okay not to go to the other side, the other side is the real paradise, so in order to go to the other side, they must jump off the deep pit in front of them, not only to jump, but also to pull the people of the world to jump together and push them to jump.
The land system of the Song State must be changed, but what kind of morality should be used to reform is a big question.
The Qin state's system of granting land, which was a system of ploughing and warfare, in which land could not be bought or sold, could only be granted, and without a strong ruling group and a material and technological base that allowed for the full development of industry and commerce, and the ability to systematically requisition the population into industry and commerce, it would hinder future development.
What the peasants want to engage in is also the utopian fantasy of small peasants who are not allowed to buy and sell land, everyone is a small peasant, who values agriculture and suppresses business, and who wants to exchange the same amount of labor, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Mohists.
However, the land system of the Song State must be changed, and it is inevitable that the fields of the nobles will be divided, because the aristocratic feudal system has seriously affected the development of the productive forces.
At least in terms of the interests of Sishang, the Song Kingdom did not divide the land, and only one-tenth of the people could be regarded as people, how could one-tenth of the people be able to buy more cloth, ironware, and other industrial and commercial goods than all the people?
But at the same time, if everyone is a small farmer, where will the industrial and commercial development in Sishang get enough cheap people? Where can we get enough raw materials and food supplies? Sishang's population was already stretched thin, and it was destined that Sishang would not allow land annexation to cause turmoil and lose the support of the peasants, the largest soldier, in order to ensure the number of soldiers and the development of industry and commerce.
Then you can only find a way to get people from elsewhere, the more people the better, relying on life, it's too slow.
If this balance is not grasped well, it will affect future development.
As a result of the uneven development of the eastern and western parts of the Song Kingdom and the different degrees of development of the budding commodity economy, the Mo family hoped that the peasants would go to the west to sweep away the remnants of the old era, but the eastern part of the country should ensure the budding development, which was destined to make the situation of the Song Kingdom present a scene of "autonomous cities and each county has its own legal system".
Shi Shi hoped that the people of the Daoists, especially the variants of the Taoist school, such as Yang Zhu Guanzi and other schools, would be in charge of the situation in the eastern part of the Song Kingdom.
If industry and commerce are developed, ruling by doing nothing is spontaneous outward expansion; But if, on the other hand, industry and commerce are in a position of a semi-colonial supplier of raw materials, then inaction is itself a policy of pushing the country into the pit of fire.
In this original history, one of the factions of the Huang Lao School has been reconciling the contradictions between Confucianism and Mo, and this time it is inconvenient for the Mo family to come forward to sing against the people of the peasant family, so they hope that people from other families will stand up and talk about this matter.
It was silent, and the rest of the Mo family did not speak, and Xu Xi's words occupied the righteousness, which made the scene a little embarrassing.
When he was embarrassed, Tian Wuxian of the Guanzi School got up and said, "Xu Zi, don't worry. ”
"Don't you hear it, the sky does not fall, the earth does not sink, and the husband or the husband is also the husband! What about people? People have a rule, and they are also moved by the drums. The husband cannot shake himself, and the husband may shake it. Husband or what? If so, too. If you see, you don't see, you don't hear, you can't see it, and you can't see it. This location is also a road. ”
"The Taoist turns a blind eye, hears but does not hear, like a breath, sprinkled all over the world. There is a way in everything, that is, the economy of the world, and it also has its own way. ”
"This way is like a hand, controlling the city, but I can't see it."
"If cotton is expensive, there will be many cotton planters tomorrow; If grain is expensive, there will be many people who grow grain in the next year. If you peasants want the market to be the only price, it is against the grain and will not last long. ”
Therefore, Zhong Niyan said: Those who rule by doing nothing, their Shun is also the same? What is a husband? Gong Ji is just to the south. ”
"Shun's politics is obtained by doing nothing."
Xu Xi glanced at Shi Shi and said in a deep voice: "Zhong Ni said that Shun is the ruler of inaction, but the Mo family says that Shun's government can be called good in the present and in ancient times, and if Shun is ruled as today, it cannot be called good." ”
Shi originally didn't want to come forward, but hoped that someone from the Taoist school would elaborate on this issue, but now Xu Xi talked about what Mozi talked about back then, and Shi also had to say it.
Yu Shishi smiled and said: "This is true." Zi Mo Zi Yan, Zhong Ni Yan , can also be called a good person. ”
"For example, Surabaya, from Huling, it is also to the south; From Pengcheng view, to the east also. Shun's government, if there is no sail ship, flows with the water. At the time of Shun, if the ship is in Huling, to the south; At this time, if the ship is in Pengcheng, to the east. ”
"What Zi Mozi said about Shun's politics is not about inaction, but about the specificity of following the way of heaven. They are all laissez-faire, in Huling to the south, in Pengcheng to the east. If you are in Pengcheng, you have to learn from Emperor Shun to send the ship to the south, then you will have to touch the shore and cannot move forward. ”
This is equivalent to saying nothing, just making peace with the mud, Xu Xi asked rhetorically: "As you said, then if the princes and nobles have fiefs today, and the common people are poor and have no shelter, can it be regarded as ruling by inaction?" ”
Shi shook his head and said: "It's not right to be the king in the whole world, it's like a ship sailing in the water, and you have to go upstream." Isn't it ridiculous that the boatman and the sails are gone, and that the boat should continue to sail against the current? ”
Xu Xi said: "Then what else is there to say? I just want to ask, does the Mo family support the common people of the Song State to be allocated land and break the well fields to open up a strange place, right? ”
When Shi was about to answer, the corpse said, "I have a disciple who has quite an idea about this, so I might as well let him talk about it." Since it is a big matter to discuss together, anyone who can be called a sage can talk about it. Although my disciple is not as good as the crown, he can also be called a sage. ”
Everyone understood that the corpse leader was taking this opportunity to praise his disciples, and many people thought, even if this young man is talented, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, what insight can he have?
But then I thought about it, when I became famous in Shangqiu, I was only fifteen or sixteen years old, which is not easy to say.
Everyone didn't say much, and behind the corpse stood a disciple who was not as weak as the crown, who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, tall, but his shoulders were still a little slender because he was still underage, and he had the temperament of a noble child, and after bowing to everyone, he said: "Martingale has a word." ”
"In the past, Ximen Leopard ruled Ye and dug canals, and the people complained. Ximen Leopard said, the people can be happy, not to worry about the beginning, a hundred years later, the villagers and elders began to think about my words. ”
"Now it is less than a hundred years, only 20 years, Zhangshui is under great control, the people can be irrigated, and the rich land is the head of Wei."
"The people who complained about Simon Leopard's digging of the canal in the past are now ashamed of what they said."
The young man glanced at Xu Yi generously, and said: "Xu Zishi said that the Song State should truly achieve the common government of all the people, the Inquiry Yuan is elected by the people, and all government decrees are elected by the people. I just ask, if there is a matter of Simon Leopard's rule, will the people agree to dig the canal? Is the digging of the canal good or bad for the people? ”
Shi didn't look at the list this time, he only knew that the leaders of the various schools came with their favorite disciples, and he didn't know that the person who was speaking at this time was the famous martingale of the Wei Zhi Gong clan, and he didn't know that the articulate young man in front of him was a famous person in history who had influenced Zhuxia for more than a thousand years.
In Shi's view, the young man's remarks are interesting, avoiding the "great righteousness" that he has been talking about, and instead talking about the most basic interests, and bringing the question back to democracy, populism, or Mohistism, a form of democratic centralism.
The idea of the people directly participating in politics and formulating national policies that Xu Xi talked about before, no matter how much it is said, is also a utopian dream at this time, a complete utopia, a utopia without a material basis and material conditions.
Just one sentence, Xu Xi couldn't say anything for a long time.
The story of Ximen Leopard's rule of Ye is widely spread in the world, and the Mohist saying is that at that time, Ximen Leopard read two lines of poetry and sighed that even if he was not understood by the people, he had to do things for the interests of the people; And the real version circulated in the Wei State is that Ximen Leopard said that the people are ignorant and can only enjoy the results, and will not think too far ahead.
At this time, the young disciple of the corpse was using the version circulated in the Wei State, and this question was indeed asked by Xu Xi who could not answer.
The young man took advantage of the moment when Xu Xi was stunned, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue and said: "Xu Zi thinks again: If the Song Dynasty is governed, the east of the Song Dynasty will be a famine, and the west of the Song Dynasty will have a bumper harvest, if you ask the people of the Song Dynasty, can you be willing to send the grain collection to the Song Dynasty, will the people of the Song Dynasty be willing?" ”
Xu Zi thought again: If the people of Song Dong are unwilling, and the people of Song Dong are willing, half of each. If it is a grain levy and adjustment, it will obey the will of Song Dong and go against the will of Song Xi, so is this in line with the will of the people or against the will of the people? ”
"Repeatedly, if Meng Zhuze of Danshui is reclaimed, it can get hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and there will be no floods and droughts downstream. The people in the Danshui basin must be willing, but the people in Suishui, Surabaya, Shashui and other places may not be willing. If according to public opinion, there are many people in Suishui, Surabaya, Shashui, and few people in Danshui, and they do not agree to govern Meng Zhuze at that time, then is this matter to obey public opinion? ”
If these four cannot be solved, then what Xu Zi said is not a fantasy? Let's not mention the matter of opening the Qianmo and breaking the well field, but only talk about national politics, the government of Xu Zi, which is applicable to small countries and widows, but not to the country of thousands of times. Moreover, even if a small country has a widow...... Jiang Han Zhuji is innocent and Chu died, in the world, where are there real chickens and dogs who don't get along with each other? ”
