Chapter 259: The public opinion of the nobles, business, government and the people (3)
While the funeral was still in progress, the young servant who Gongsun Ze wanted to fight with Shi was brought to Shi in a garment.
Shi looked at this young man, or he was qualified to call him the young man's older child.
I have to admit that Gongsun Ze, who has received samurai education since childhood, has a good eye for picking people. This child is a good seedling for archery. He has a burly figure and the muscles on his back can support the wide Mai.
The two had met very early. If they had added the six fingers standing behind Shi, it could be said that the three of them had met long ago.
In just a few years, the six-finger archery technique has not made much progress, and it is probably surpassed by this young man. The three-finger archery technique used at that time was the mainstream of thumb archery. It would be overtaken after a little time.
Before Gongsun Ze died, he asked Shi to find a Confucian scholar to teach the child to complete the bet for the next ten years, and by the way, he would have to extend it for three years due to mourning.
Of course, this also means that before Gongsun Ze died, he admitted that the child was his disciple, not just a servant, otherwise he would not have to be mourned for so long.
Before he could speak, Liu Fingers behind him were still a big child, so he spoke, "You have to stay mourn for so long and can only drink porridge. Wouldn't you be hungry? Is it considered to be full of etiquette only when you are hungry?"
The attendant said with a stern face: "I can only eat coarse corn and sunflower, and later I can eat meat. This is given by a gentleman. I should do it when he is happy."
After saying that, he hesitated again, glanced at me for a long time, and said, "The gentleman asked you to find me a master and continue to teach the art of archery and archery. Ten years later, what should I do after the competition?"
"At that time, I was still a commoner and had no identity as a scholar. With only archery skills, how could I continue to eat meat?"
The attendant was not ashamed, and after a while, he said, "A gentleman asked me to keep politeness. He could die for the king. And I am not a monarch's soldier. If I want to die ten years later, who should I die for?"
This simple question made the six fingers standing behind scratch their heads and suddenly feel that it is really a very happy thing to know why they can die.
Liu Finger Thinking, I can die for the benefit of the world. Just say, if I don’t die, I won’t be able to do it.
Let’s look at the servant who competed with him in the first place. He wanted to say something, but Shi said first: “Where is the matter now? After you mourn, go to Peixian first and go to find me there. I will arrange for you to learn the text first. I will fulfill Gongsun Ze’s last wish. Maybe you will know why you can die at that time.”
The attendant bowed three times to Shi, took out a silk silk from his arms and said, "This was what the gentleman gave to me before. When he decided to go down the city, he knew that he would die. Even if he didn't die in the chaos, he would commit suicide or go to your Mo family's executioner to ask for death to protect Duke Song's order."
"The gentleman said, please keep it for you. If one day the rules of the Mo family become the rules of the world, please sacrifice this silk to his tomb so that he knows that he is dead well."
I reached out to take it, and the servant thanked him and left first.
Liu Finger asked softly: "Shi, do you really want to compete with him in the future? I learned swords with public success. He said that you need to be dedicated to your work. Before you have never learned swords well, don't spend your energy to learn ejaculation. If I lose at that time, I will always be afraid of falling into my reputation as the Mo family."
Shi shook his head and smiled, "You won't lose. You don't say you have to use a bow," he said. At that time, Gongsun Ze said that you can use anything. Don't worry about this, just learn what you want to learn."
"Besides, my reputation for Mohism is not based on this. In terms of shooting, the Giant Monkey cannot be compared with Zhongni. By the way, you can create a sword with the public, so don't leave those words behind."
Liuzhi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I have learned a lot. I can write a lot of words."
After saying that, he crouched on the ground and started writing a few familiar and familiar words with the bronze sword he had obtained in Peixian.
Shi Xin said that now I am a literate person: I don’t have to learn to learn, but I can teach you if I am a literate person.
Cangjie was not literate before the rest of the people knew about literacy.
…………
Many people in the Mohist school know how to write, and they know exactly the kind of words they know. Many people in Peixian can write that kind of words.
The common people were originally illiterate, and the characters that they knew were not originally written, but as many people knew, they became characters.
The characters are very important, and this is the basis for the synonym of the world to be determined by one and the world, so the people of Shangqiu have to learn this kind of characters.
Just as they were busy electing representatives from various companies, they also selected some young people to follow Mohist people to Shangqiu to learn the nine numbers and fields, etc. The planting of these people requires the help of others.
Lian is a relatively large organization in Shangqiu City. According to Guan Zhong's approach, there are four miles in a row, ten tracks in one li, and five tracks in one track, which is counted as two hundred households in one company.
Since Shangqiu is going to establish the Yishi Division, this company is both a basic administrative unit and a basic military unit.
What the Secretary General can do is just discuss the laws, and the matter after discussing the laws is not something that existing officials like Nong Zheng can do.
New planting technologies, new land system, new tax system, and all of these require corresponding cultural knowledge to complete.
Therefore, after explaining the truth clearly, each company has to choose a smart and smart young man who can be trusted and followed the Mo family to Peiyi to study for a period of time.
The Mohist family is rich now, and they can provide food and clothing for full-time education, but their land still needs help from other families to plant it.
The Mohist school promised to dispatch personnel to help the Shangqiu people open well fields, open fields, and divide land after formulating laws and a new land system.
A whole set of things requires a lot of energy. The Mohist family lacks manpower, which has become a serious problem that restricts the development of the Mohist family.
However, people are not crops, they can harvest one after another.
It will take at least three to five years to learn basic words, such as nine numbers.
After a few years, these people from each company will return, they will become positions such as company commanders and village chiefs at the grassroots level.
In addition to these young people, the Xuanyi Ministry also hopes to draw a child from each place to follow the Mo family to Pei County to learn characters. After returning, they will teach the other children to learn characters, and then each family will provide the person's food and accommodation.
If you can learn words at this time, it is a luxury. If you are not a scholar, it is difficult to have the opportunity to learn words.
The original various bird seals are extremely complicated and troublesome to learn, so few people are able to read.
The Mohist family now has iron smelting technology in hand, and the funds are endless. It is not a problem to provide food and accommodation for hundreds of children. This is a major event that will monopolize knowledge in the future, and the Mohist family attaches great importance to it.
The people of Shangqiu also attached great importance to it, saying that they all knew that if they could be their children's turn, they would be like a cake falling from the sky.
As for the common people who are too far away from home and cannot see each other for several years, they do not have so much pretentiousness for children who die young and eat sunflower vegetables and corn every day.
For the sake of fairness, we could only choose to draw lots. After all, even if there are too many children, Mohists, who can afford to support them, do not have so many teachers to teach them all.
In order to improve the status of women, this time the lottery draw will not be distinguished between boys and girls.
All the people in one mile and fifty households, all the children who meet the conditions gather together, and they can draw lots themselves, and those who win the lottery can follow and learn.
In addition to discussing the first meeting of the Zhengyuan Common People's Court, selecting children to study in Peiyi became the number one event in Shangqiu.
Naturally, the people would not care about Song Gong’s mourning the dead, anyway, it had nothing to do with them.
Between the streets, the people were either discussing the upcoming changes or discussing whose children were able to go to Pei County if they won the quota.
The family of drawers was happy and showed their emotions. Those who did not draw could only curse a few times: these children who drawers came back to teach words, but when they came back, they were afraid that five or six years had passed, and it was impossible to teach their average companions at this time, which means that those children were afraid that they would not have the opportunity to learn words.
The list has been decided, and the neighbors will no longer have the previous uneasiness.
Just like the story Zifan told King Gong of Chu back then: a rabbit runs on the street, hundreds of people will chase after it, but when the rabbit belongs to one person, the rest will not chase it.
Drawing lots is not the best choice, but it is an acceptable choice for everyone. Those who are responsible for this matter don’t have time to check which child is smarter in Shangqiu.
The neighbors who had regained their peaceful relationship began to discuss the various things that followed the Session of the Council.
"I heard that after the Inquiry Council meeting sets the laws, we will go outside to cut wood, prepare to make ink trucks, and go to Pei County to transport grain."
"Yes, when he met Shi yesterday, he said this. In addition to transporting grain, he also had to draw some people to level the road. He said that this is for us, not for gentlemen, nobles, princes, and that makes sense."
"At that time, the selected children will be seated in the ink car and sent all the way to Peixian. I heard that this is the case."
A group of people discussed and imagined a scene.
On the yellow road, thousands of people were pushing ink carts, with some children sitting on it, including men and women. People carried simple dry food and went to Pei County to transport food. When they came back, the places where children were sitting were replaced with large bamboo baskets filled with hope seeds...
This is a beautiful scene because it is full of hope, not the despair of escaping famine. Shi and the Mo family have also fantasized that the Moche will never become a standard tool for people to escape famine.
