Inevitable cause and effect always make people think.

The merchant guard who had been talking to Wu Qi for a while had already left, but Wu Qi was sitting in the grass pavilion and did not move for a long time.

He didn't have a deep understanding of the Mohist doctrine, but he also knew that the Mohist propagation of the "inevitable Tianzhi" was about the happy land of the iron and gunpowder age, and there should be a new kind of world to combine the heavenly will of the happy land, which was a change unseen in a thousand years.

His thoughts on Song Guoshiqing's future were triggered by himself.

He once said that there are five types of soldiers: one is to fight for fame, the second is to fight for profit, the third is to accumulate evil, the fourth is to fight for civil strife, and the fifth is to fight for hunger.

Under the current situation, the Song State will always have civil strife and military disasters.

Prior to this, he had summed up hundreds of years of historical experience in the world and divided the origins of war into these five types.

However, in recent years, the doctrine of Mohism has spread all over the world, always saying that it is necessary to explore the "origin" of all things.

But what is the source of these five kinds of military disasters?

For example, what is the root cause of the civil strife that he expected the Song Kingdom to be in turmoil?

Is it just the instigation of the Mohists?

If so, then what is the root cause of the Mohists' incitement?

He once said that if you are not at peace with the country, you cannot go out into the army; If you are not in harmony with the army, you cannot go into battle; If you are not in harmony, you cannot enter the war; If there is no peace, there can be no victory.

Now this situation, but looking at Taoqiu, you know that Song is not in line with the country. So if Taoqiu, Shangqiu, Pengcheng, Ningling, Chuqiu and other Song cities are not in line with the country, then what is the country?

Before the world is unified, it is difficult to define the concept of a state. Wu Qi is a defender, but he became famous in Lu, but Qin Chu is in Wei, and now he wants to go to Qin, which makes him start to think about what he is pursuing.

The rebel said that man is inherently dead, and he cannot not live because he is inherently dead. So even if what the Mo family said is right, the world will eventually go to the happy land that the Mo family said, but it can't stop doing nothing because of this. Because the Mo family is also doing it, it is not waiting there because of this necessity.

Wu Qi thought to himself, he was seeking fame, but what was the origin of his fame? What is the ultimate?

Some people seek fame for money, sex, and profit, but they understand that all they want is to display their ambitions.

But what about this ambition in the end?

After thinking for a long time in the grass pavilion, the guards beside him did not dare to scream, and they were speechless for a long time.

Not far from the exchange, under a large tree, a man of ink was lecturing, surrounded by many kneeling people listening to the lecture, many of them sword-bearers and craftsmen of short brown straw sandals.

Taoqiu is full of ink scholars lecturing, and the atmosphere is extremely strong, Wu Qi did not come close to listen, but at the moment of passing, he heard such words.

"Why was Kim able to buy something? Or why is it just so much food that can be bought? Why not buy 10,000 catties, why not buy 10,000 catties? ”

This is because a slave digging for gold can mine so much gold in a year, and if the slave were to plough the fields, he would harvest exactly that much grain. So the gold can buy just that much food. ”

"The market is measured, and the measure of gold and grain is the ...... of labor."

After these words, there were bursts of applause, Wu Qi knew that this was also part of the Mo family's doctrine, and the whole world was talking about it twenty years ago, and he knew in his heart that these words were the root of the Mo family's saying that the nobles of Shiqing were silverfish.

These words are endless, and they cannot be refuted, so there is no basis for the existence of the nobles of Shiqing. The name is not right and the word is not right.

But will these words be extinguished? There are many people working in the world, and these words will probably not be extinct in the world, and there will always be people who believe that someone remembers.

Wu Qi thought of the word "origin" again, thinking that the Mo family was indeed explaining the origin of many things in the world, and the more people who knew the origin, the more difficult it would be for the nobles in the world to maintain.

The lecturer was still talking, but Wu Qi did not continue to listen, but walked slowly to the bazaar.

Look at the bustling crowds, the cries of bargaining, the brokers who broker the deal, the merchants with gold and silver on the ridge and break off......

"It's all for profit."

Wu Qi thought to himself, these four words are always not wrong, he trained martial arts in Xihe, aren't those martial arts also for profit? If it is not profitable, how can you be willing to fight to the death?

Or there was the case of Qin Gong being besieged and 300 heroes desperately rescued, and those who released the wild people who killed his horses and gave wine because of Qin Gong's righteousness, have this feeling. But after all, this is a minority, if you want to rule the world, you still have to use Yili Daozhi.

Looking at the goods in the market that are far better than those in Xihe Anyi, Wu Qi sighed even more, especially many traders who are not in Xihe and have long been accustomed to it here, which has given Wu Qi a new understanding of the sum of wealth in the world.

Vegetable oil, greens, wood, pottery, carts, hoes...... Between the shouting and selling, Wu Qi walked to the side of an old man selling vegetables.

The old man raised his head and looked at Wu Qi, and also noticed the saber on Wu Qi's rise, as well as the saber of the guards beside him, but there was no panic on his face.

Twenty years ago, such an apparently aristocratic figure appeared around the peasants, who were all fleeing from panic, but here it was as common as seeing rain in spring and thunder in summer.

Behind the vegetable farmer was a wheelbarrow cart loaded with some vegetables that Wu Qi had seen or had never seen.

Carrots, sunflowers, leeks, gourds...... Strings are tied together with hemp rope.

Wu Qi knew carrots, and the spies he sent to Peixian brought back many seeds, which he relied on to survive the famine years with potatoes and sweet potatoes during the great famine in Xihe a few years ago.

He picked up a bunch casually and asked, "Lao Suo sells vegetables every year, how much money does he get?" ”

The old man was talkative, and replied: "No more, no less, the clothes on the body and the food in the mouth, more from here." ”

This sentence alone is enough to surprise Wu Qi, it is difficult to make a living in other cities for such a thing as selling vegetables.

One is that the city is not prosperous enough, and there are many farmers, and everyone grows some vegetables in front of and behind the house.

Second, vegetables are unpalatable, and those who can pay to buy them without planting them rarely buy vegetables and vegetables.

Wu Qi asked, "Does Lao Suo have children in his family?" ”

The old man nodded, indicating that he had two men and one woman, the woman was married, one of the two men was in Taoqiu, and the other was studying blacksmithing with others.

If you ask carefully, it turns out that the old man is a native of Taoqiu, and he has lived by renting fields many years ago, and his family only has six or seven acres of land near the city, which is not enough to live, so he has to rely on renting seeds to survive.

A few years ago, the owner of the rented land repossessed the land and began to hire workers to grow some profitable crops, and the old man was left with only six or seven acres of land close to the city.

Fortunately, his son learned a lot of skills, relying on the method of fertilizing the fields taught by the Mo family, and accumulated a lot of dung and silt early, and these six or seven acres of private land turned out to be fertile soil, and they were close to the river to divert water for irrigation, and began to plant vegetables and vegetables.

At the time when vegetable oil, soybean oil and iron pot were introduced to Taoqiu, vegetables and vegetables had a new way of cooking, and gradually became an indispensable food on the table.

And because of the many people who have recovered the land and cannot make a living in these years, they have poured into the pottery mound to work with others to help the farming, and the meat will be expensive, so the host family will buy more vegetables and vegetables to cook.

The son took the land as collateral from the Mo family, borrowed a sum of money to buy iron tools, and bought a wheelbarrow ink cart from the craftsman association with special funds, and began his career as a vegetable seller.

In the past few years, the six or seven acres of land between the castles that could not be survived have been able to support their families with their own strength.

When the old man said this, he sighed: "Now I wear clothes and cotton cloth, eat corn, and occasionally eat fish." People like us can buy some Mo family's salt at a low price every year, and our lives are better than when I rented other people's land to farm. ”

"I heard that now some high-quality watered land, according to the method of composting Mojia ridge, two harvests a year, the two harvests together can collect 400 catties, which can only be recovered by ten acres of land. Eh...... If the Mo family doesn't say that it is good for the world, people will really benefit the world. ”

"If it weren't for the Mo family, wouldn't I starve to death now?"

Wu Qi said in his heart: "This is not necessarily. You only see the good of the Mo family in your eyes, if there is no Mo family, how can the land you rent be recovered? ”

He had a clear insight, and he was already vaguely aware of the role of the Mo family behind these quiet changes, and he saw it more far-reaching than this old farmer. As he said, without the Mo family's change, the old man's land would not have been recovered.

It's just that he didn't say it, and the old man was still muttering there: "So my son is in the army, and he said that he wants to become an ink master, so I said let him do it......"

While muttering, a person came over to sell vegetables, and the old man immediately laughed, obviously with the old acquaintance and customer, after a few words, he actually bought a cart of vegetables.

The old man was full of energy, stretched out his hand and took a few "banknotes" commonly used in Taoqiu and Sishang, Wu Qi looked at these banknotes, and couldn't help but think of what he had just heard someone lecture: the relationship between the exchange between gold and grain.

Can this banknote ...... What's going on? The money of the Mo family has been used in Taoqiu, and the Taoqiu people actually use it, but if the Mo family is not there in the future, what are these banknotes?

If this is the case, once the Mo family is in trouble, wouldn't it be that the people who hold this paper money in this Taoqiu will fight to the death? After all, it's also good for yourself.

The old man pushed the cart and followed the man with a smile on his face, trying to deliver the dishes.

But in Wu Qi's eyes, if there is trouble in Si in the future, he seems to be able to see this old man with his old thin arms to carry this squeaky little ink cart, which is loaded with military rations transported to the battlefield.

How can we win the battle of people's hearts? This person's desire is not only the direction of righteousness, but also the direction of more advantage, and the methods of the Mo family are indeed clever.

Sighing secretly, thinking to himself, can he learn these methods to change the country? What's going on with these banknotes?

After all, do you still have to read more books from the Mo family?

The Mo family says that Tianzhi is in harmony with Tianzhi all day long, so it seems that if all this is done by the Mo family because it is in harmony with Tianzhi, then it is the reason why the Mo family can govern Si.

After all, it's still the origin.

Knowing the origin of gold and silver can buy goods, the Mohists can buy things with paper, if not, the origin is not known, how can it be done?
