Chapter 262 The public opinion of the nobles, business, government and the people (6)
Such a historical trend is the biggest reliance, and everything I did before is accelerating the process of this historical trend and has not changed the overall situation.
As long as the King of Chu dies, the situation in the whole world will inevitably be like this. The three Jins will join the prince, and only Han Wei will participate, and the people of Zhao will then prepare to stab the knife in the back.
If the Wei people got Daliang and moved their capital to the Central Plains, it would inevitably lead to various countries conquering Wei together, and would never allow a Wei who was aggressive in the Central Plains.
The decline of the Chu people and the migration of the Yue people to the south were all for sure. For the Mohist family, they were bound to win the management of Pengcheng.
If it were in the past, there might be many doubts.
But now, with the Battle of Shangqiu, his vision has been approved by the Mo family, and his "grasp" the general trend of the world is also believed by many Mo people.
He said it and everyone agreed after discussion.
After all, the battle in Shangqiu gave the Mohists the hope of "Sword of the World", and of course the longer and sharper the sword, the better.
Now the conditions are ripe. In Peiyi for three years, Peiyi was not far from Pengcheng. The two places can communicate with languages, have similar climates, and have iron tools to open up, so everything is ready.
The matter in Shangqiu is too complicated. Even if the founding of the Inquiry Yuan, the Mohist school can only have enough influence within a few years. Then, the influence will gradually weaken over time.
At least it will not be as good as it is now, with full support from the army of defeating the Chu, borrowing food and other things. Therefore, it is extremely important for the Mohist school to have a foundation that is sufficient to support its own development.
As Shi said, the mos also believed that Peiyi was too small and could only make appointments with Shangqiu but not the world. Therefore, if you follow Shi's path, you must manage Pengcheng.
Now it seems that the method of contributing the world as mentioned is still useful and does not conflict with Mozi's concept.
Mozi's philosophy is to reason and let the king take the lead.
Shi absolutely did not express his opposition to reasoning, but just said that in addition to reasoning, he would add some other constraints appropriately, such as an army controlled by the Mohist school.
The truth needs to be coordinated with the fist, and Mo Zi never objected to this: when he entered Chu alone to reason with the King of Chu and Gongshu, Mo Zi did not forget to let Qin Huali lead the Mo family disciples to guard Shangqiu. In the end, the reasoning was convincing, but the three hundred disciples were still the ones.
Mo Zi looked at the simple map with interest, nodded for a while and said, "From this point, if Pei and Pengcheng can be dyed into ink, the Central Plains will be more confident to stop the war. The warlike kings in the world will not dare to move lightly."
"Today, our Mo family can join the King of Chu with hundreds of elite troops and within five steps. If there are more than 10,000 troops in the future, and cooperate with gunpowder, it will really allow the warlike kings in the world to stop and wait and see."
"It's just... if this matter is done, it will not only be agreed by the common people, but also be approved by the Gentleman Court, which is considered to be within the rules."
When Mozi was thinking about whether he had sent someone to explain the significance of this incident to Song with the nobles and Duke Song, a Mo person rewarded him, saying that his father Yue Ling asked for a meeting.
The disciples were very happy and knew that the emperor's father Yue Ling was here, so they must have something to ask for.
Mozi looked around the disciples, lit up his name and said, "Since that's the case, follow me to see the emperor's father Yue Ling."
When he received the order, the other Mo people discussed it for a while, and then went to busy the affairs of Shangqiu City and continued to build momentum to continue to prepare.
…………
This is not the first time that the emperor's father Yue Ling has met Mo Zi, nor is it the first time that he has negotiated with the Mo family.
But when he saw Mo Zi appear with Shi, the emperor's father Yue Ling still felt a little nervous. He knew that many changes in the Mo family were from this person, and things today were probably not that easy.
He doesn't like dealing with Shi very much, and actually doesn't like dealing with Mo Zi either.
In the eyes of Emperor Yue Ling, this person was a little unsightly and didn't know what this person was thinking. Many of his thoughts were unexpected and were not the ones he should have at this time.
Mo Zi is a confident and proud person. It is difficult for others to convince what he insists on.
These two kinds of people gathered together, and the emperor's father Yue Ling didn't want to face them, but he had to face them.
After the two sides met, Shi also looked at the emperor's father Yue Ling carefully. There were many rumors in Shangqiu City that this person's deeds were closely related to the person's son.
The Dai family’s acquisition of Song cannot be completed overnight. By the time they truly capture Song, it will definitely be a natural thing, which shows how capable this person is.
Furthermore, some of the things that had been guarding the city before made Shi full of vigilance against this person.
After sitting down with Mo Zi, I heard the emperor's father Yue Ling say something complimented and thanked, and said words like "Preferring to the World".
Mozi smiled without saying anything, and did not answer. He knew that this person's purpose was not like this, so he could only wait.
After the emperor's father Yue Ling finished his polite conspiracy, he finally talked about the important matter and talked about the Peiyi Autonomy.
He has read the articles of the Mohist school and has read them thoroughly. Although he absolutely does not agree with some of the rules and principles in them, he understands the logic.
So after explaining it according to the logic inside, Mo Zi was a little surprised and praised: "You are not wrong in this matter."
The emperor's father Yue Ling said: "If we can set the annual tax payment, it will be beneficial to the public and the Song Dynasty."
Pei County cannot intercept all taxes because there is no ancestral temple in Pei County, so according to previous rules, taxes must be sent to Shangqiu as part of the expenses for sacrificial temples.
If Peiyi does not serve as a fief of a doctor, then all taxes cannot be retained because the doctor himself also needs sacrifices.
After the emperor's father Yue Ling finished his taxes, he said: "As for Fu, what the Mo family imagined was exactly in line with the interests of the Song Dynasty. With only three hundred righteous teachers, they could penetrate the formation and break Chu. Such Fu was like a hundred chariots."
"But I'm just afraid that Da Yin and others will not agree to this matter."
He glanced at Mo Zi, then looked at Shi, and said softly: "When he was defending the city, the granary was burned. It was said that the Chu people did it in detail, but it is unknown. A few days later, there was a coup. Does anyone have any doubts about this granary burned by the dead soldiers?"
"Thinking of this, they burned the granary, and the people resented the city and resented the Mo family who guarded the city. Da Yin and others have always had good friends with the Chu people. This time, the Chu people besieged the city, and they were afraid of being happy in their hearts."
"But their actions may lead to famine in Shangqiu and starve thousands of households to death, which is something I can't stand."
After saying that, he sighed, as if he was worried about the people in Shangqiu City.
Shi glanced at Mo Zi, who was still looking at him and laughed in his heart. He had long said that the two nobles' plans were bloody and dirty. In the discussions within the Mo family, Shi never avoided thinking about these nobles with the most vicious attitude.
Therefore, the earliest version of the burning of the granary that Mo Zi heard was a guess made by Shi: not only speculations about what Da Yin and others did, but also what Si Chenghuang and others did.
After all, if reinforcements from the Three Jins arrive when the city is in trouble, the Sicheng Emperor clan can also gain greater benefits.
Now that the emperor's father Yue Ling first put the blame on Da Yin, Mo Zi had preconceived ideas in his heart. He had long heard of Shi's vicious speculation, and just sneered in his heart, looking at the emperor's father Yue Ling's performance without expression.
The emperor's father Yue Ling couldn't see Mo Zi's thoughts. He wanted to see Shi, but saw that there was still the indifferent smile on his face that made him a little dissatisfied. He knew that he could not observe his expression today.
So he said again: "Da Yin and others tried to make Gongshu the king, but they were obstructed by the Mo family. Wouldn't they have any resentment in their hearts? Wouldn't such resentment be blocked what the Mo family had to do?"
"So, in the Junziyuan, I am afraid that Da Yin and others will never agree to the affairs of Pei County to retaliate."
Mo Zi was silent for a moment and said, "Can you understand how to operate the rules of the Zhengyuan?"
The emperor's father Yue Ling nodded and said, "The Xuanyi Department of the Mo family preached all day long. Even if I am not as smart as a saint, I can understand it earlier than the common people. Since your Xuanyi Department wants the common people to understand it, how can I not understand it?"
The rules have not yet been decided at this time, but they have only borrowed some experience from their previous lives to prevent the nobles from being difficult to accept as much as possible to avoid some irreconcilable contradictions.
Therefore, the power of the Gentleman Court is still very large, because they will never agree because they are too small. Even though the rules have not been formally established at this time, in fact, they have basically settled their communication with each other secretly.
According to the Mohist idea of "choosing the emperor", the ruling ruling of the founding of the founding of the founding of the People's Court was elected by the common people's court.
However, because of concern that the nobles would unite to strangle and oppose the Mo family, the Mo family would not become the first imperial magistrate of the Song State under this circumstance, but decided to give it to the nobles.
Because there are conflicts between the nobles themselves, the Mohist family must use the conflicts between the Emperor of Sicheng and the Six Lords, and they cannot stand up at this time to let both of them bridge the rift and deal with the Mohist family.
Compared with the slightly more powerful Ling Yin and the old nobles, the Mo family itself was also preparing to choose the Sicheng Emperor group to increase the rift between the two sides and heat up their struggle.
The saying "choose the emperor" is not intended to target all the people, but is essentially monopolized by the nobles.
Ordinary people do not have such fame and sufficient ability, at least it is impossible to have it at this time.
And the only Mohist school that can compete with is absolutely impossible to make a comeback at this time.
However, the power and responsibility of the inquiry of the Chief Minister's Order could not be great enough at this time, because in the previous three oaths, Song Gong also had to guarantee the interests and official positions of the nobles within ten years.
All of this is the result of the desire to make the Mo family a messenger: no matter who becomes the Lingyin, he has to use the power of the people to suppress another faction, and thus has to give up some of their interests above the bottom line.
According to the basic rules of the enquiry of the Zhengyuan Yuan that will be held for the first time, it is necessary to order the enquiry of the Zhengyuan Yuan Order.
If you want to be the chief magistrate of the Zhengyuan, you must be elected by the people. If you want to be elected by the people, you must trade with the Mo family, because the Xuanyi tribe of the Mo family controls the public opinion in Shangqiu: even if the Mo family is not qualified and has no intention to be the chief magistrate, you can not allow others to be the chief magistrate until it becomes a mess.
The emperor's father Yue Ling's meaning is already very clear: the Mo family cannot let Da Yin and others become the chief ministers of the Inquiry Yuan, because they have grudges with you, and they will inevitably oppose your wishes.
And if your Mo family can help our Emperor's Father clan get to power, we will become the imperial court, and in return, we will definitely support your Mo family's requirements for Pei County.
