The emperor's father Zang carefully understood the meaning, and finally understood it and said, "Then according to what you said, leave a part of his private relatives to protect the king."

The emperor's father Yue Ling said that, and that night the Emperor's clan of Binsi City summoned private soldiers, awarded gold and jade, and said many words to inspire everyone.

The soldiers and soldiers were turned into three points, one point guarding Zitian, and the other two points were then returned to the commander of Modi, and used to guard the Chu people to attack the city.

…………

After leaving Sicheng Imperial Mansion, he smiled.

This time it was not his own actions, but part of the entire Mozhe plan, which was to mobilize the private soldiers and dead soldiers in the hands of Si Chenghuang, so that the "snakes" felt that the opportunity was ripe.

Sicheng Emperor is not a good bird, and Liuqing Dayin is not a good bird. This is easy to see clearly, so he would not think about helping Sicheng Emperor kill those "snakes", but just wanted to take the opportunity to expose all contradictions to the surface.

After leaving Sichenghuang, Shi took people to the craftsman association in Shangqiu, which was the closest organization of the Mohist family in Shangqiu City.

These handicraftsmen are different from farmers. They have some enthusiasm, but whether the Chu people siege the city won or not has much impact on them. They even do not have the resentment of the farmers that "the Chu people siege the city and cannot be planted."

As soon as they arrived, the people in the craftsman association asked one after another.

"Shi, what's the matter now?"

"Yes, there are a lot of rumors in the city now, and we don't know who to listen to."

"You should tell us what to do!"

"We are like sheep driven away by two shepherds, one saying north and the other saying south... I really don't know what to do..."

All kinds of strange problems are summarized as those who gradually become self-aware and gradually understand that they have the desire to pursue their own rights, and are now confused.

It was seen that all the top figures in the Craftsman Association were present. Some of the technological innovations of the Mozhe over the years have also made the Craftsman Association profit a lot, so they sat with everyone.

Shi asked, "What do you think of the rumors in the city?"

At the beginning, hesitated to join the craftsman association and liked many of the ideas of the Mozhe, but he also hoped that others would help him to fight for it and enjoy the carpenters who were able to enjoy it. He asked: "There is a saying in the city that the Chu people besieged the city this time because the emperor was rude to Chu. Some people said that if they could make a good relationship with the Chu people, the Chu people's besieged will naturally be untied."

The craftsman did not think so by one person. Many craftsmen in the craftsman association had similar ideas to him.

They were very dissatisfied with the Chu people besieged the city, but they were always hesitant about who the dissatisfied person was.

Are you dissatisfied with the siege of the Chu people?

Or are you dissatisfied with the siege of the Chu people because of the mistakes of the king?

Both of these are dissatisfied, but the dissatisfied objects are very different.

They are different from farmers, but they are somewhat similar when defending the city.

They were forced to make various equipment to defend the city, and their living standards in the city were greatly reduced due to the Chu people's besieging the city.

Not only does food need to be rationed, but it also involves labor and guarding the city. This was originally just an obligation, but craftsmen will continue to publicize the unity of obligations and rights over the years, which will make them begin to think about where the obligation to guard the city comes from?

Now Mozhe said he would defend the city, so they defend the city.

The Messenger said there was a ban, so they abide by it.

Some people think that this is a righteous act of benefiting the world, helping the weak and scaring the warlike kings in the world. Even if the person who thinks like this is not a child of the Mo family, his ideas are already very close.

Some people think that they don’t think of anything. They originally needed to defend the city, but now they still need to defend the city. As for the reason? It seems that this has been the case since ancient times, so there is no need for reasons.

But some people began to think about why we should defend the city? What did we get from the king? What would we lose after the Chu people conquered Shangqiu?

So, it seemed that some people began to wonder why they wanted to defend the city: for their own interests, there was no need to defend the city, and they did not want to benefit the world, scare the warlike kings in the world.

The third type of people are liked by the first type, no less than the first type of people. Because after all, there are more people in the world, and changing the world can only be the first type of people who drive forward and the third type of people who follow the disciples.

These craftsmen from the Craftsman Association are extremely dissatisfied with the siege: originally with the promotion of Sumai, they could sell a lot of new agricultural tools and machinery, but with the beginning of the siege, their means that can make life better have no chance to be used.

This kind of dissatisfaction, coupled with the rumors in the city, they urgently need to know who they should be dissatisfied with?

Is it to Duke Song?

Or to King Chu?

Or... the rules of the whole world?

It's because of this.

Faced with the doubts of Ning Zhuo and others, Shi Xiao asked, "The siege is only a special time. I just ask you, if the Chu people broke the city, would it be different from the past? Do you no longer need to pay your military tax? Do you no longer need to join the army to go to war?"

This is very straightforward and has no "morality". The craftsmen present remained silent and thought carefully.

After a long time, Dong Gong said, "I think there is no difference. The military tax that should be paid must be paid, but should we go to the army or go to the army."

Shi laughed and said, "Yes. You are not a doctor or a minister. You have no salary, no fief, no rights and only obligations. What does this Song State have to do with you? If you change your name and call it Shangqiu County in Chu, what is the difference?"

Wang Zhuo thought for a while, and asked with a smile: "As you said, this Shangqiu City doesn't need to defend?"

Shi shook his head and said, "Is Shangqiu City alone? Of course, they have to defend the doctor and Shangqing, because they have a salary and fiefs in the State of Song."

"Of course, Mozhe wants to help defend the city, in order to restrain the warlike kings in the world. After all, if the warlike kings in the world are no longer wary and no longer cause unjust wars, it will be considered as a benefit to the world."

"Even if you don't want to benefit the world, you should think that if you no longer have an unjust war, wouldn't you pay less salary? You can do less military service? After all, you have a reason to defend the city."

"The so-called mutual benefit means that everyone is beneficial to defend the city."

This is a reason to give the first type of person to listen to. It is sufficient to say it, but it is not enough to impress other people.

Shi didn't care about defending the city at all. It was not that he didn't care whether the city could be defended, but that it was not that everyone needed to have the awareness of "guarding the country is an unshirkable responsibility"... The country at this time was not the country he understood. It was absolutely wrong to think so at this time, and he definitely did not want the Chu people, Qin people, Song people and other statements in the world.

At this moment, what he needed was incitement, inciting some special flames called "fighting for one's own interests."

And this kind of incitement cannot be expressed directly, but requires constant temptation.

The one who seduces is only the third type of person.

Sure enough, after hearing Shi's reason, a craftsman like Dong Peng sneered and asked, "Shi, you're right, but... we still don't like to listen."

"We benefit the world, but why are craftsmen from Yingdu, Anyi, Luoyang, Linzi and other places not beneficial to the world?"

"If we can help you scare the warlike kings in the world, then the craftsmen in Anyi Luoyi and other places don't need to pay so much military taxes, but why should we help them? I don't recognize them..."

"You men always say that if they love both love and love, if they can love me, I will naturally love them. But they have never loved me, why should I love them both?"

"I also know that what you said is to benefit the world, and the ultimate benefit is the people of the world. But why can't people from other places benefit the world and benefit us? Why do we have to pay?"

The Mozhe formed a craftsman association and moved for a long time. After the establishment of the Xuanyi Ministry, he has been in charge of the conscious dynamics of these people.

Do you want a pure Mohist school, but you want an interest alliance group.

Even if it is full of ambition, selfishness, etc., because the times can only reach this point, the pure ascetic group that Mozi wanted will inevitably fail at this time.

Therefore, within the craftsman association, there was a mixture of fish and dragons. The mentality of the first group of handicraftsmen who grew up was more inclined to be self-interested, and this pursuit was precisely the basis for overthrowing the nobles' feudal rule in the future.

Selfishness is the idea that nobles fear the most, because they need to use the opposite of these four words to demand farmers, serfs and craftsmen, and they do not need to comply with them and no one will blame them.

After hearing the words of Dong Peng, Shi slowly guided him: "So, isn't everyone able to benefit the world? You are also part of the world."

Dong Zhuo smiled shyly and said, "So, if I do something, I can get a lot before I die. Even if it is true, I don't want to do it. Is there no way that I can get within a few years?"

"I also know that the ultimate benefit of each of us is to benefit the world. But I cannot do it if I suffer for the most part and cannot benefit until death."

"How many people in the world can do it? Isn't there only a few hundred people in Mozhe?"

Shi Haha laughed, and many people present also knew that Shi was able to speak in a friendly manner and could get along with them. They would definitely not be angry about these words from Wang Yun. The laughter must be a real laugh.

After laughing, he asked Dong Gong and others: "The Chu people have not yet broken the city, so it is hard to say what they will do after the city is broken."

"If you force double the military tax after breaking the city, all the craftsmen will belong to Gongyin... This will be harmful to you after all."

"The giant once said that power is the right thing, and the right thing is to take the least, for the benefit of taking the advantage. If you say that this is the case, will you defend the city?"

This question is not necessary to be considered, and everyone said, "Of course we have to keep it. It may not be so."

Shi nodded and said, "We may not know what the Chu people are. But..."

When he said, he spoke with a little bit of insult, "But if Mr. Song promised you that if you could defend the city, your military tax would be reduced by half, and the labor you were serving would be given money, and you owe the office interest exemption from usury..."
