Chapter 249: The Heart of King Mi Bing of Jing and Song Dynasty (7)

The ambition of the King of Chu will inevitably lead to death and disaster for him, just as the ambition of Prince Tian of Song brought him siege and coup: the ambition needs to be based on strength.

Shi hoped that the King of Chu would reform, or that he would have the idea of ​​reform, because he hoped that the bear would die.

If Xiong Dang is not dead, Song still cannot live in peace. The nobles of Chu cannot die in large numbers within ten years, and Wei cannot be strong and triggered the Central Plains War.

So he wanted to talk to the King of Chu about something that the King of Chu would be moved when he heard it, but if he did it, he would die.

So he stood up and said to Mozi: "Sir, I can tell the truth myself, and I can't tell the truth even if I shouldn't say it. Only the same is true. This time, the King of Chu will definitely hope that we will work hard to help Jin and Chu stop the war."

"But it is definitely not a matter between Jin and Chu. We can take advantage of this opportunity to shock the kings and princes in the world to make this war more formal."

"Jin and Chu compete for hegemony, and small countries pay tribute, which is also unfavorable to the world. If it can be motivated to the Song, Zheng, and Wei countries, strictly adhere to neutrality, and maintain balance with the help of the conflict between Jin and Chu: our Mo family will help defend it, the Chu people will seek Jin when they break the contract, and the Jin people will seek Chu when they break the contract... If this matter can be facilitated, many things will be more to say."

"At least, it will be in exchange for a twenty-year truce, spreading farmland, ox plowing, good seeds, textiles, iron tools, etc. to all countries in the Central Plains, so that the people of all countries can live a better life. This is in line with our desire to benefit the world."

Mo Zi asked, "What you mean is that if you can stop the war and alliance, some techniques can be taught to the Chu people? But some things are different after all, just like gunpowder, that is, you can defend the city, but isn't it the same to attack the city?"

Shi smiled and said, "We can sell it to small countries. It will make it convenient for them to defend the city. We exchange it for gold, then buy oxen and horses, and continue to develop. Building iron can also allow countries to have more surplus grain and money to buy."

Mo Zi glanced at Shi and smiled and said, "You are not stupid. Did you not expect that if you can get it by selling it to a small country, Jin and Chu? Even if that's the case, what's the difference between selling it directly to Jin and Chu?"

Shi laughed and said, "Sir, smart, so what I mean is that this thing can be sold."

Shi held a circle with his hands and said, "If the thing made by the public casting is made, there may be other means of siege. But, sir, don't forget that if you want to bomb the city directly with gunpowder, you must first dig tunnels to get close to the city wall."

"You have seen it with your own eyes. If you don't dig the tunnel and bury the gunpowder, then the other party will not be able to blow up under the city wall."

"So, with gunpowder, their means of siege also need to dig the 'crypt'. As long as they can guard the crypt, they can defend the gunpowder to blow up the city wall."

"And if this thing is just thrown, it will always be more beneficial to the defending of the city. Even if Jin and Chu have it, both sides will worry that the other party is sharp in defending the city and it is extremely difficult to attack the city, so it is easier to maintain balance."
