Chapter 188 Revolutionary old and new strategies are endless (11)
The King of Chu first questioned those who benefited the world, but asked the people of Chu with personal gain, because he knew that since the King of Chu had considered the argument of benefiting the world, it would be impossible for him to say something prepared.
The people of Chu in the tent looked at each other in silence, not knowing how to deal with themselves.
Shi said these unwise words of nobles were very straightforward, and every sentence was very heart-wrenching.
The nobles present may have relied on that class instinct to do things that oppose or support, and have no clear goals.
However, the words of the right made them transcend their instincts and clearly pointed out that the aristocrats and the monarchy are contradictory, and the strengthening of the monarchy means the decay of the aristocrats' power.
The ministers could not refute it, nor did they know how to refute it, so they had to stop talking.
The King of Chu had no expression on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
If it is right, it is exactly what the King of Chu thought, or it is the change that the Chu people will make in more than ten years: most of it is the content of Wu Qi's reform.
The King of Chu knew very well that the biggest problem of Chu was the throne of the king. Since the Second Military Rescue Meeting, all kinds of problems of Chu were basically caused by the throne of the king.
The king's wealth and glory can come from the people's statement. The King of Chu did not care. He could think this way or not, but the result was that the throne was just a decoration.
There are many problems with the State of Chu, and the King of Chu also had the idea of change, but the resistance was too great and no one could coordinate the overall situation presided over it.
And what seemed to accuse the ministers of being unwise, the King of Chu said: Our Mo family can help you change. We have ideas, overall situations, and a certain amount of military power...
The King of Chu seemed to have heard this, but Shi was just tempting the King of Chu to give his preferences and best to his own interests.
In fact, Shi had no idea about Xiong Dang. This was a monarch who would die within two years, and it was meaningless to have a good relationship with such a person.
The King of Chu thought a lot, but had to consider the mentality of the nobles in the tent, and thought to himself: "This person said very well, and he pointed out all the problems of Chu. Some of them were what I thought of, and some of them were something I could not think of..."
"But, everyone in the tent heard it at this time. If I am happy, I am afraid that they will be angry. Is the Mo family's speech so direct?"
He felt aroused in his heart and wanted to break the embarrassment at this moment, not saying good or bad, nor did he say anything about letting the armored man raise a pot and a cauldron to fry the ink. Instead, he asked: "You said that Chu Feiyixin and that everyone in the tent is unwise. I am in the tent and a person, so why are I not wise?"
Xiong Dang's tone was a little angry, but in fact it was to hide his inner joy, and this anger was for the nobles in the tent to listen to it.
It is always hard to say things like "Sir, great talent, and secretly traders in the account". In that case, I am afraid there will be mutiny tonight.
It was just that this question was not answered, but asked the rest of the ink to answer it on their behalf, and most of them used the principles of "saving and using it".
The original principles within the Mohist school are very useful in themselves. A great country like Chu State can gain benefits from internal cultivation than going out to fight for hegemony, especially when the monarchy is not yet stable.
The Chu State had a vast land and sparse population, backward technology, and internal laws and regulations. There were still many barbarians in the south. Therefore, as long as you don’t fight for twenty years and work hard to develop internal affairs, it is actually much more than what you get from fighting for twenty years.
These truths are all facts, and even the King of Chu agrees with them, but in fact they are in line with the unwise and unwise nobles mentioned earlier.
If you want to develop your internal affairs, you must touch the interests of the nobles.
These two words seemed to be saying that the nobles and the king were not wise, but in fact, every sentence was for the King of Chu. The more the nobles in the tent listened, the less they felt. They felt that the Mo was instigating conflicts within the Chu people.
But this kind of instigation does not have the element of conspiracy. They are all direct truths, so straightforward that it is just like saying that the grass is green and the flowers are red. Truths that are difficult to refute are often full of power.
The King of Chu was already moved, and the Mo Ze did not say anything extra, but what the King of Chu heard was: The Mo Ze has the ability to help you change, as long as you promise the Mo Ze to benefit the world, some of us have scholars, culture and knowledge...
This obscure hint made the King of Chu drink a glass of wine to hide his inner joy.
But the nobles in the tent could no longer sit still. As royal family members, what they hate the most was reforms, especially the contents of the reforms proposed before.
Everyone knows that the reform of Chu will become stronger, but what does it have to do with the power of Chu become stronger? If Chu is the Chu State of Chu, why would the throne cut off its own flesh to make Chu State powerful?
This is a simple truth, and it is precisely because of the simplicity that it is impossible to refute positively.
Zuo Yin finally asked: "You Mozhe only said that you want to benefit the world, so you want to help the weak and defend the weak. I only ask you, would the Chu people withdraw their troops today and the Three Jin soldiers will arrive tomorrow, what will happen?"
"You said we are not wise. Will the soldiers of the Three Jins not attack Song? Even if we don't attack Song, will the people of Song not be employed in the future if there is another battle for hegemony in the future? "
"If the Three Jins do this, why are you defending the city? Can the Song people defend the city by themselves? What's the difference between facing Jin and Chu? I think you Mozhe is not wise!"
Gong Jiyin also asked, "You Mozhe said that the world is determined by one, and you also have to choose the emperor. Let me ask, what king of the country is called a holy king?"
Shi shook his head and said that no one is right.
Gong Xiuyin said again: "Does Mo Di consider himself a holy king?"
Shi still shook her head and said, "The giant never thinks like this, and he also feels that even the former Zhongni is not a holy king."
Gong Xiuyin laughed and said, "Looking at this point, the world cannot be determined by one! Since it cannot be determined by one, what will you do to benefit the world? Today you besiege Song, you guard Song; tomorrow you invade Lu, you guard Lu; next day you occupy Zheng, you guard Zheng... Is it useless?"
"Besides, even if you guard the city, you can only rely on the troops of the Three Jins to rescue the siege. Since you think there is no king in the world who can be called a holy king, you can only fight endlessly."
He smiled but said nothing, stood up and bowed around him, asking the man to take out a picture from his arms and spread it in his tent.
This picture is a simple hand-painted world. Many places are extremely inaccurate, but this is the first time overall, the entire picture of the world has been presented to everyone.
Yan in the north, Qin in the west, Qi in the east, and Chu in the south.
The winding rough coastline, the shape of a few-shaped Yellow River... This is the first time these things have been intuitively displayed in front of everyone in the form of a map.
The ink masters in the tent had seen a lot of people, but this was the first time that the Chu people in the tent had seen such a world. They couldn't help but exclaim and stood up to watch.
The King of Chu was closest to him, staring at the Chu land on the map, looking at the mountains and rivers, and the big cities with inaccurate locations, and secretly praised him.
"It turns out that the nine provinces in the world look like this. Those who draw this picture must travel all over the nine provinces and have a wide range of experiences. Those who can focus on the world are probably people like the Mo family."
He said: "At this time, there is no holy king in the world, and no one can decide to benefit the world. But the giant once said that the two evils are in harmony, and the one who takes the light is profit."
"Like today, the country is nothing more than the Three Jins and Chu."
"In the past, Huayuan, Xiang Wu prompted Jin and Chu to stop the war outside Shangqiu City twice, resulting in the stability of the world for decades."
"If the troops are not in use, can't the national strength be strong? Can't the people be rich? Can't the taxes be increased? Can't the population double?"
"The Mozhe has already explained the truth clearly, and this can be done. It can even double the wealth of the world within 20 years. This is the way to benefit the world."
"Now, Lu, Song, Wei, and Zheng are all weak, intertwined between Jin and Chu, and the wars are endless, which is something that the Giant and the Mo family disciples do not want to see."
"If Mo said there is a way to prevent countries from exerting military wars and double their wealth within twenty years, can't we promote the third alliance?"
The so-called covenant is the product of balance of strength. He does not trust the covenant and does not want a terrifying balance in Jiuzhou. He is just trying to find a way to deceive the Chu people.
The truth has been made clear, and the rest is to see whether the Mohist can come up with something that will make the kings of all countries excited to ensure the so-called doubled population wealth in twenty years.
After explaining the situation, several ink men went out to retrieve a large number of iron farm tools from the carriage, as well as some other iron tools, and threw them on the ground with a jingle.
The Chu people had seen iron, but either meteorite iron was a piece of iron smelting, which was completely different from the iron tools that were made.
Even though these people are nobles, they still have to go to the fields to make a move when they are farming in spring.
Once these strange iron tools were displayed, they said: "The ink has the method of smelting iron, which makes iron extremely cheaper than copper, and every household can use iron as utensils."
"Farmers have plows, plows, shovels, hoes; carpenters have axes, hammers, planers, knives; miners have chisels and picks..."
"Even if there are six different types of bronze ware, it is still easy to break, but iron ware is more tough than copper ware. The same farmer, who holds these iron ware, is several times faster than the bone ware they used to use, and a farmer will cultivate several times the field."
"The man also has the method of composting crops, which can increase the yield per mu by half. He also has the skill of rotating crops and fallow. A field of 100 miles can be made into 200 miles."
"The Mozhe is the most skillful in these iron smelting methods, and he will not be the second in the world."
"In addition to iron tools, there are also methods of textiles, farming, and making tools, which can be several times higher than before."
"Since the Mo wants to benefit the world, these things cannot hide their own personalities. However, if these things are used for war, they will displace the world."
"If the Three Jin and Chu can form another war meeting, once the treaty is reached, the Mohists are willing to let these things that benefit the world communicate with the world."
"This is just an iron tool. The Mohist school has no lies. There will be more magical techniques in the future, which can double the civilian taxes without levying wars."
After displaying these iron tools, he said in a slew of things that sounded extremely mysterious. The Mo people were already commonplace, but the Chu people had never seen but believed in them.
