There were almost no small nobles in Pei County who could see the situation in the world clearly, which was destined that they did not expect Mozhe to suddenly turn against each other.

The first news of the change finally came back to the ears of the local nobles in Pei County.

He grabbed the merchants in Peiyi, liberated the industrial and commercial officials under the industrial and commercial officials, reduced taxes on the industrial and commercial workers, and slightly increased the farmers' taxes. But at the same time, he took the opportunity to deal with local officials. In the end, the Mo people who made up their minds to oppose were only the old nobles whose interests were greatly damaged.

In the luxurious mansion in Peiyi, several old nobles were full of anger and scolded the evil deeds of the Mozhe.

The first article reform seriously hurts the interests of these old nobles. Taking money is like killing parents, and damaging people's interests is like *** women. This kind of hatred is irreconcilable.

The great truth is for outsiders to hear. Nowadays, no one gathered here is outsiders, so there is no need to talk about nonsense such as "bad ancestral law", "breaking the well field", and "not good for the world". Just explain clearly how to deal with the Mozhe.

More than twenty local clans and nobles gathered together, just like when the Mozhe dealt with those witches.

But this time, compared to the last time, it is obvious that everyone's hearts are uneven.

Xia Qi, who had a blood relative to revenge, then quietly sat on the west side with a few people; the rest sat on the east side.

The more people said first: "Mozhe endured for a long time and finally did such a thing. I asked me to say that if you should ignore the consequences and fight to the death, how could there be the disaster today?"

Everyone thought, what you said was easy, and the fight against the Mo people on the same day... Not to mention whether they can kill them, they can beat them. Even if they kill all the Mo people in Peidi, what should they do if they take revenge from other places in the future?

These Mo people are all forces that can resist the siege of a country. How can we touch them with us?

The person who spoke also knew that he was just enjoying his mouth, but his dissatisfaction really needed to be vented.

He has his own fiefdom, and he can collect taxes from small fiefdoms and provide military obligations to the number of land within the fiefdom category.

The farmer in his fiefdom needs to fulfill various labor obligations to him.

There is also a part of nominal public land that can also drive serfs to work free of charge.

The Mozhe changed this way, which was equivalent to dividing the public land, not admitting that the land tax rights in the fief belonged to the nobles, and exempting the serfs from the labor obligations to the nobles...

This is something he can't accept anyway.

What's the use of leaving only the land? Should I go farming by myself?

If you don’t cultivate yourself, what is the difference between those land and wasteland?

Xia Qi, who was kneeling on the west side, did not think so. The people behind him were all a group of people who might make profits and suffer less damage from the Mozhe reform system.

He waited for a moment and said slowly: "In my opinion, the transformation of the Mo people may not be impossible. The Mo people have iron tools and various good varieties. The land that originally required a hundred people, but it may only take ten cattle and ten people to complete it."

"If cotton, ink corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other new grains can be sold, we can grow these. We have both land and cattle and horses, and we can hire people to help with the farming as long as we pay."

"The strong liquor made from cotton cloth and sweet potatoes are now profitable for merchants. I think they have gained a lot of benefits in growing these..."

After Xia Qi, it was not a local aristocrat, but a fleeing here after the collapse of Qi Kingdom. It was also a side branch, which was difficult to integrate into the Song Dynasty. Only in Peiyi, as a small aristocrat, relied on those following tribe members to reclaim a lot of land and benefited from it.

The well-field system did not collapse in one day, and the private ownership system did not emerge in one day. The tribe members of that year gradually became rented farmers and hired farmers. In fact, some changes have taken place in a long century.

Most of the people behind him were nobles in this situation. The number of fiefs themselves was not large. They originally accumulated a lot of private land by relying on the privileges of theocracy, clanship and other privileges.

In their opinion, it doesn’t matter how hard the Mozhe has to do it.

Just talk about Shangxian. In the future, they will have a lot of land and their children can study for their profession. Even if the world is Shangxian in the future, they will not be afraid.

Maybe the world is really virtuous, and they can still climb up.

They are low-level nobles, and it is difficult for them to climb to the upper circle under the patriarchal system. Although they are privileged, in their opinion, even if they are virtuous in the future, their privileges can still exist. After all, their children have more opportunities to learn.

The superior hopes to practice the concept of "everyone who is the minister of the Emperor of Heaven is equal to everyone"; the subordinate hopes to practice the distinction between "there is a difference between high and low, and the effort is hard work."

This completely contrary theory is not impossible to be used as a principle, but it needs to be won and suppressed by the top and suppress the bottom, so reality cannot make their principle a principle.

After considering it, they still felt that the principles of Mozhe could actually be equal to the superiors and oppressed the subordinates, and they still liked them very much.

This is also a contribution from the Xuanyi tribe of the Mohist Master, which clearly explained many truths and disintegrated the nobles within Peiyi.

As soon as Xia Qi finished speaking, the nobles on the other side who had suffered the most benefits in this change cursed in unison.

The same front line was now clearly distinguished without realizing it.

The old nobles cursed: "Not whether the principles of the Mozhe are right or wrong, nor do they say that they will inevitably lead to chaos in the world. Just talk about this private tax. Do we really want to pay taxes?"

"Which county magistrate, who can't be the first to be friends with us before he can govern the county?"

He also scolded Mo Zhu for his shameless behavior, lost all his conscience, and was angry with both man and gods. After the chaos in the world, these old nobles finally talked about the most substantial problem.

"Acknowledge the private acres, why should we ask those farmers to farm for us?"

"Where do we get the military taxes after we divide the public land? Do we use our own money, silk, grain and grass to raise chariots and horses?"

"Is it tolerant that we are going to compete with those of low-born people for the position of officials?"

"Encourage grass cultivation and provide agricultural tools and iron tools. How many rented farmers are unwilling to own their own land?"

"No one cultivates it, what's the use of land there?"

After hearing this, Xia Qi smiled and said, "Even if that's the case, what can we do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a thunderous sound coming from outside, followed by bursts of cheers from the people.

Needless to ask, I know that the Mozhe is showing those terrifyingly powerful weapons.

Xia Qi later said, "Listen, this is the sound that the Mozhe wants us to hear! Everyone is convinced, what can we do?"

"Two or three years ago, we didn't know the depth of the Mozhe, and thought that only a hundred people might not be able to compete with it. If we still think like this now, it would be ridiculous! Even if the people do not accept Mozhe, how can we deal with Mozhe and those righteous masters with us?"

Speaking of the most practical violence problem, the faces of the people on the other side became much ugly.

Most of the Mo people are considered "scholars", while the Yishi is the "scholars" after expansion. If any great nobleman has three or four hundred "scholars" with strong military power, they can have enough voice in places like Shangqiu.

Even though these nobles in small places are skilled in chariots and horses, they are really not rivals to Mozhe if they really fight.

After hearing this, the person on the opposite side said for a while: "Now Mo has already dealt with those officials, using the name of raising money and harming the world with Wu Zhu back then. Wouldn't they come to deal with us?"

Xia Qi then stood up and said, "Wu Zhu was killed by the Mozhe, and the rest of the people were all working. Those officials didn't have much real estate, so they couldn't afford it. But we can afford it."

"If Mozhe really forces us, he will pay back the money. Mozhe is still reasonable after all. Except for those Wu Zhu who were hanged by Lei Jue and hanged, most of the rest will be paid off and will not be investigated."

"But if we go against Mo, we will have to exchange our lives. You have seen all the murderous murder of Mo!

Speaking of killing, these people couldn't help but think of the Wu Zhu who was sentenced to hang and thunder, and the corpses hanging outside the city, and knew that Mo Zhu would never consider the punishment of the doctor, just like the Mo Zhu who stood up when Wu Zhu was executed that day, they were crazy people who even the monarch wanted to go over and assassinate.

Under the tide of the times, these old nobles were already behind.

Not to mention the Mo people with more advanced ideas, they will not even be able to fight against the monarchy in some countries in a few decades, let alone the Mo people who have never taken the bloodline seriously.

What the Mos was worried about was not the rebellion of these nobles, but the aristocrats inciting those rented farmers who "do not know the truth" to oppose them, which could solve the problem of rented farmers. The Mos was actually not afraid of these people's rebellion at all, and even wanted them to rebel quickly so that they could solve it at one time.

But these people can also know that their power is weak, and now they have differentiated internally, and the reputation of the Mozhe has spread more often, so there is no way to do anything about it.

After a long silence, an old man said, "We cannot deal with Mo, but Mo wants to make the world turmoil, which is something that the princes cannot tolerate."

"Now that the Mo people are powerful, we should not provoke them for now."

"But each family needs to raise some money and go to Taoyi to hire eloquent people, and make a lot of money to make it lobby for the emperor and let the six ministers come forward to solve the matter."

"The Mo did this, and he was afraid that the six ministers and officials would not know about it. He only had to report the matter and then persuade him with the advantage of words and words. This matter would be accomplished."

"As long as the emperor has orders and the six ministers have their own decrees, once the Mo people leave, we can deal with local affairs ourselves."

They did not know why Mozhe chose this time to take action, nor did they know that the Song Dynasty was now in chaos, so they still placed their hopes on the upper level to oppose it.

After all, the Mohists could not fight against a country. Even if they defended the city, they only played a catalyst to increase the power of weak countries, so they believed that this was a feasible solution.

The people present had never learned about the relationship between productivity and production relations. They just felt that once the Mohist left, even if the people had iron tools, they could still return to the original old system of patriarchal feudalization with oppression.

From this point of view, it seems to be feasible.
