Chapter 284: The Smoke of Gunpowder Comes to the End of the Saddle and Stirrups (4)
As for attracting landless people to help farmer from some cities, it is completely like recruiting mercenaries.
If we take the world, the Mohist family can be very rich. As long as the Mohist family agrees to let go of their hands and feet, they can concentrate on this place.
"Biography of Merchants" records the huge wealthy people who often accumulate tens of millions of dollars.
Under the conditions of unification, the power of wealth may not be revealed, but if there are really tens of millions of wealthy people at this time, it can shake the whole country.
Mengchangjun earns 100,000 yuan a year by lending usury, and with a little income from fiefdom, he can afford 3,000 yuan for his disciples.
If we let go of our hands and feet, and take advantage of the more than ten years when the battle for hegemony in Jin and Chu will begin, not to mention the annual money of 100,000, it will not be a problem to double it several times.
However, the difficulty lies in the theory that the Mohist school loves non-aggressiveness. Some things cannot be sold, but they are not considered "the warlike king who helps the world."
This is appropriate for Xuanyi Department, who has already started to make excuses in advance, but just want to convince these firm-minded senior officials that they cannot only talk about purpose, but also about ideals and morality.
Gao Sunzi once had a debate over the reason for the strong wine, believing that this was to consume food in the world for a few people to enjoy, and that it was beneficial to the princes and nobles rather than to the world.
Lin is a glass thing, and she has ideas. Even if the wind blows three years in advance, it is still very difficult to convince everyone.
Pei County is not along the coast, but the Salt Si River descends to the estuary of the Huai River. There is a large amount of aquatic plants there. After burning, it is high-quality alkali ash, which is also the best alkali source in the glass manufacturing industry before the emergence of Lublan Method.
It is inseparable from the Mo family. Without the Mo family organization, he can't do anything.
But if you want to accomplish something in the Mohist school, you must be reasonable and make it clear that this is beneficial to the world, and then you can only achieve it by getting the support of the Mohist school.
In addition to Hu Lin, there are many other things, all of which are like this.
If you can only choose one of the two, Shi would rather choose a disciplined Mohist school than choose an opportunity to be a wealthy businessman.
Nowadays, muskets, cannons and stirrups have been displayed to everyone.
The corresponding military system reform has also been stated.
The rest should be made clear about the future route and purpose of the Mohist school, and at least the short-term purpose should be made clear.
Peixian and Pengcheng have already obtained it, and the Mo family now needs a goal within five or ten years.
Everyone heard the implicit meaning of Shi's words before, and Shi also understood that some of them must be said today.
If even these people cannot convince them, some things will really not be able to say when the Mo family gathers together.
Because if some words are clearly stated now, the Mo family will soon be trapped in the siege of the kings of the world.
He looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Gianzi, my fellow disciple, I have heard of the plans in the world, and there are two types."
"One is a conspiracy, such as a trap set by a hunter, which requires insight into the movements of all beasts in order to succeed."
"A kind of plot for the open, like the warm sun in spring. It does not want to melt the ice and snow, but just comes out to shine on the earth without any worries, and the ice and snow will naturally melt."
"Now the firearm has been released in the saddle stirrup, and the iron crock has been changed. Just like the warm sun in spring, it will melt the ice and snow."
"But, this process may be a bit slow, and what we have to do is to use the help of this spring as warm sun to do what makes all this faster."
"On the end, we can benefit the world. Otherwise, if all firearms, iron tools, good varieties, and compost methods are available now, our Mo family will die. Anyway, it will benefit the world after a long time..."
He has long talked about the relationship between productivity and production, the relationship between military system and agricultural production level. Everyone is convinced of this. In the long run, as long as the world will benefit one day.
However, in the long run, everyone will die, so it is meaningless to say this, so it is naturally impossible for the Mo family to do this.
The meaning of appropriateness is to develop technology, and then when the technical level is enough to support the "paradise", let the world's political affairs, laws and morality meet the corresponding technical level.
This is taking advantage of the situation.
In the eyes of the Mo family, they are good at taking advantage of the situation. From the previous battle in Shangqiu to the later attracting the world's scholars, and the almost-promoted military resolutely, they are all taking advantage of the situation.
And this time, the momentum that needs to be taken advantage of is not the balance of the power of various countries, but the hidden but truly influenced the world.
If this situation can be borrowed well, it can be considered as a change that has not been encountered in a thousand years. All countries' reforms are all taking advantage of this situation, but they do not know it, but rely on their keen instinct to do so.
After hearing Shi's conspiracy and conspiracy, Mo Zi smiled and said, "Since you talk about conspiracy, you might as well say it more clearly."
He took a step back and said with a smile: "Then ask the Giant to be the nobles of the fiefdom. All rights reserved 'profit' first, and not benevolence and righteous. If you, the nobles of the fiefdom, talk about benevolence and righteousness, why should we Mohist and Confucianism promote benevolence and righteousness in the world?"
Mo Zi nodded and smiled, "Listen to you. I am now a nobleman in the fiefdom."
Shi said to the public again: "Then please ask the farmer who has born on the private fields for the nobles."
Gong Zaoye also smiled and said, "Although I don't understand Jiahe, I don't know Jiahe, except Jiahe, there are other cities for farmers."
After thinking about it, he said, "Great Master, you now have tens of thousands of acres of private land, renting it to a farmer, and paying rent acres every year. This has been the case since your grandfather. In addition to these private lands, there are still land sealed."
Mo Zi nodded and said, "There are many such people in the Song Dynasty. Many nobles use the benefits of public land to use private goods and use public land as their reputation to force others to cultivate private acres."
Shi nodded and said to Gao Sunzi on the side: "You are now a businessman who has studied in Pei County. You are not a disciple of the Mo family, nor do you talk about benevolence and righteousness, but only about interests. Merchants value profit and neglect separation, which has been the case since ancient times."
Gao Sunzi also nodded and said yes.
"Now, wars are everywhere, Jin and Chu are competing for power, and those who can get huge profits are food, cloth, copper and iron."
"No matter whether it is copper or iron, Gao's grandson has learned from Pei County and has obtained the method of plowing oxen with good cotton seeds and ridges. He has money, so he bought a plowshare to plow oxen."
"Then, the Giant Zi had 100,000 acres of private land on the ground. He originally needed thousands of households to work hard to rent the plant and pay the rent acres. The annual payment was 100,000."
"There are more loans. After farmers pay the rent, they will find it difficult to make a living. The remaining money in their hands cannot buy iron tools for plowing cattle, let alone the method of using ridges. They can only use stone tools and bone tools to cultivate, and they become increasingly poor year after year."
After saying that, he glanced at Gao Sunzi and said, "Gao Sunzi now has the school of Jiafeng in Pei County and has money to buy oxen iron tools. After careful calculation, the Giant's 100,000 acres of private land only needs to hire 300 households to plough."
The ploughing and farming had already appeared in the Warring States Period, and they were agricultural workers who worked for others to farm.
Chen She, who was in the Houdaze Township Uprising, "had a man of farming with others."
When Han Feizi commented on the "seeking profits" of the world, he also said: those agricultural workers work hard and their masters will entertain them well. It is not because agricultural workers love their masters, nor do they love their masters, but they just get what they need. When they entertain them, they will work hard, and vice versa.
Shi looked at Mozi with a smile and said, "Gao grandson wants to make a profit now, so he asked the Giant Zi that your private land is only 100,000 yuan a year, and the farmer cannot repay it at any time. So, he pays 150,000 yuan a year to rent your private land, will you agree?"
Before Mo Zi could answer, he said, "I am the Mo family in Pei County. Now I, Xiaotianzhi, have done many things."
"If you can pass through light but isolate the wind and rain like ice, like white snow and porcelain like gold and copper sounds... etc., these are all expensive. Others have it, but you don't have it. You feel that you are short of money."
"As the popularity of iron tools, the rent you collected remains unchanged, but the grain you collected is more expensive than it is. The Mohist family only collects money to sell you u Lin ceramics and other utensils, so you are even short of money."
Mo Zi glanced at Shi, thought of the words "Practice first" that Shi said before playing this role, and said, "Since my grandson paid 150,000 yuan, it was another payment, how can I not rent it?"
Gao Sunzi also thought about it from the perspective that Shi said, and asked, "Can I really benefit from this 150,000 yuan?"
Shi nodded and said, "Yes, it can benefit. Iron ox plowing and rotating can increase or even double the yield."
"You have obtained the cotton varieties from Pei County again. There are great disputes among countries and urgently need cloth. Cotton can be woven into cloth in Pei County, and its efficiency is several times higher than that of hemp, so cotton is urgently needed. You will definitely make a profit."
Gao Sunzi thought for a while and said, "If so, I will rent the Giant's private acre. It's just..."
He glanced at Gong Zaoye on the side and smiled, "It was just that the 100,000 acres of private land needed to be rented and planted by thousands of households. Now I have iron oxen plowing carts and other items, and only 300 households need to support them. Gong Zaoye... Don't farm, go do something else."
Gong Zaoye knew that he was a farmer who rented aristocratic private land. After hearing Gao Sunzi's words, he said to the giant, "Giuzi, please be kind and righteous. If I don't farm, how can I rely on to live? Even if I reclaim wasteland, I am not in Peiyi, and I don't have money to buy iron tools..."
Mo Zi shook his head and said, "You can't give me money, I'm afraid that if you don't leave, I'll send private soldiers to drive you away in order to rent it to Gao Sun. "
Gong Zaomi said bitterly: "But where can I go? How should I live?"
Shi Shunshu pulled out the bird slide beside him and said, "The birds are fake weavers and get a new loom in Pei County. When iron tools are popular all over the world, farmers have surplus grain and exchange them for a prosperous day. When countries urgently need cloth for war, they accumulate money and buy twenty new looms, but they are short of manpower."
When Qin Huali heard this, he looked at Gong Zaoye and said, "Your Maiye, since you have no land to cultivate, you might as well enter the city and weave cloth with me. For the sake of profit, I will only care about your two meals a day and give you less money."
Gong Zaoye thought about it and smiled bitterly, "Even if I just have two meals, I will go. Is there any other way?"
