The State of Chu and Song are different. Both the domestic situation and the vastness of the territory are very different.

Different national strengths and kings have very different mentalities. If the Mohist families want to achieve the goals they set, they will not be able to reproduce the means of the Song Dynasty.

He does not believe in the monarch, but now he can use the monarch's power to weaken the nobles and first break the boundaries of bloodlines. He can cooperate at this moment.

Xiong Yi looked at Shi who was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not know the various thoughts in Shi's mind, so he said, "I have read some articles from the Mo family, and the former king also vowed with the Mo family. It's just that he didn't attack... I have some thoughts."

"If you want to determine the world without attacking, what you need is that the monarchs in the world agree with the concept of non-attack. If Chu agrees but Wei does not agree, then will Chu State be beaten? So this principle is not like this."

"I have also heard that you have said that the world must be one, and the king who benefits the world can be determined. What is the benefit of the world? Since the world has Chu, can't the Mo family benefit Chu first?"

The profit he mentioned was not just the loans and weapons that the Mohist school now agreed to, but a deeper profit.

Hundreds of men, the Mohist school has many skills, abundant funds and complete weapons. If this can be helped by the State of Chu, it would definitely be something that the King of Chu dreamed of.

After all, the Mohist philosophy talks about centralization, but this centralization requires "synonyms from top to bottom" and concentrates power on "carriers of public will".

The Mohist school does not believe that the carrier of this public will must be a king with noble blood.

But in the eyes of the monarch at this time, he seemed to be the "carrier of public will" chosen by God.

It is clear that things that are too radical will only make the situation out of control when they are told: the wise men who are brought out of the outside world can be said, because at least the monarch listens. But there are other principles within the Mohist school that cannot be explained at the banquet.

Just as when Mencius met King Hui of Liang decades later, the other party asked, "Will there be a benefit to our country?", the monarchs of great powers talked about the "benevolence and righteousness" of Confucian scholars, and they did not have any interest at all.

Now it's just a banquet, so you can say some empty and vast words.

He said: "In the past, the king of the Sang clan cultivated virtue and abolished the martial arts to destroy the country. The king of the Hu clan relied on his people to be brave and lost his country."

"At that time, the master first learned from Chengsang clan, lobbying Yingdu, and stopped attacking Song, but was not obeyed. Fortunately, there were still 300 disciples of the Mo family, all of whom were as brave as Hu clan, and finally convinced King Hui not to attack Song."

"The Lord of the Tao will use his people to be harmonious first and do great things."

"If you don't have a good relationship with the country, you can't have a military force; if you don't have a good relationship with the army, you can't have a good battle; if you don't have a good relationship with the country, you can't have a good battle. If you don't have a good relationship with the country, you can't have a decisive victory."

"So if you want to win, you must first be harmonious with the country. If you are harmonious with the country, you must first benefit the people. If you are beneficial to the people, you can call it beneficial to the world."

Shi said again: "War is a continuation of the court. If the government orders are not in harmony and the people are not favorable, how can we win? Zheng Xiaoguo was also changed, and Si Ziyang inherited his politics, so he seized Chu Wuyang last year. This is something we must observe."

"In the battle of Shangqiu, Songdu almost had civil strife. It was precisely because the interests of the people were violated, so he went to defend the city."

"If the king could clear politics and make the people profit far better than before, how could the people be willing to accept the rule of the Three Jins?"

These broad words did not arouse refutation from the nobles.

The King of Chu heard the meaning, and it was obvious that he was telling the King of Chu to change.

However, how to change must not be said at the banquet.

So the King of Chu stopped the chorus and praised, "It's such a truth. If I had heard this truth in the past, I would have to ring the bell to congratulate you. But the Mohist school is not a music festival, so I think these rituals and music don't need to be played. It sounds pleasant to me, but it sounds to you that people are all spending their efforts..."

After changing the topic, he said something else. At the end of the banquet, he only said that he hoped that the Mohist would continue to talk about the principles of how to benefit the country, so he asked someone to go to bed and have a secret talk.

This is not a military formation, and the nobles have no choice but to do anything. Although they hate many of the principles of the Mo family, especially after Shi Ming said something like that, they still cannot stop them.

Shi and Meng Sheng didn't drink much wine. The two followed the palace servants into the bedroom. The King of Chu had already driven away the attendants, leaving only three people.

When I said: "The Mohist family rules, when we talk to the king, there will be a second person present."

The King of Chu smiled and said, "There are so many rules in the Mo family, which is a pity that there are still hundreds of people in the world who join the Mo family to benefit the world, so many of the Mo family's principles are correct."

"Now, there are only you and me, and the words are gone, and they are all the six ears."

After saying that, the King of Chu bowed to Shi and Meng Shengyi and said, "I would like to ask for advice on how to benefit the country and strengthen the country!"

After returning the favor to Meng Sheng, Shi said, "Didn't the previous king tell me what I said under Shangqiu City?"

Xiong Yi nodded quickly and said, "Of course, these words make sense. But... if a person is sick, you say what the disease is, but the key lies in how to treat it. What I ask for is how to treat it."

"I can also abide by the ancient kings even if they have a vow with the Mo family to benefit the world and not to attack the people."

Shi nodded, but said in his heart: "You are not following it, but because you can't beat others now. You can say these statements yourself, maybe you believe them, but I don't."

He thought about this, but said something different.

"The prince is determined to flee to Zheng State now, and the king's throne is unstable. The nobles are changing. Can they change at this time?"

After several conversations, Xiong Sui already knew that the two Mozhes on the opposite side were sharp and straightforward. In addition, the Mozhe who had previously received the response from Zhaozhi's past, the King of Chu did not hide his analysis of the world and said directly: "At this time, there will be another change in the Bai Gong Rebellion. If there is no change, Chu may also have the disaster of Quwo Daiyi!"

Shi said again: "The Mo family also knew that to benefit the people of the world, there was a need for reform. To change, we must first stabilize the situation. To stabilize the situation, we need to defeat the Zheng, Wei and Han coalition forces. We must fight against the Zheng, Wei and Han coalition forces, and then we will do a policy of benefiting the people at this time. Therefore, the Mo family can first borrow money from the king and assist the guards."

"But in the end, if Chu wants to be strong, it still needs a policy that benefits the people. If it benefits the people of Chu, it will benefit the king of Chu, because the Mo family believes that the glory and wealth of the king are the sum of the wealth of the entire nation. When the king goes out to join the alliance, it can be regarded as the entire country."

This is just like playing tricks, and this king... may not be a king of blood.

The King of Chu felt it was quite reasonable, because there was no king with low bloodline at this time.

Then he said, "It is like this. Since I am king, the land of Chu, thousands of miles and the people belong to Chu, and they all belong to me. Therefore, the luxurious palaces are only my place, not all my wealth and glory."

Shi laughed and said bluntly without fear when facing the King of Chu: "But you dare not change now, nor dare to say that. Can you control the power of the county magistrate? Can you collect taxes in the land of the throne? So, all you have now is the small Yingdu."

"And, if you change, your lord will be dissatisfied. Your younger brother can say that he will not change, so that he can gain the support of the lord and nobles."

"And he fled now, proving that the monarch who supports him is not as good as the one who supports you. So, the key is, after the matter of the prince's determination is calmed down, do you want to make the Chu State strong in the future? Or simply want to hold your own position?"

This was arousing the King of Chu, because Shi knew that Xiong Sui finally launched an incomplete reform with the help of Wu Qi. Wu Qi was in power for only two or three years, and then he was shot to death because Xiong Sui died of illness, and the government was over.

Xiong Su raised his hand and sweared: "I naturally want Chu to be strong. How could I be willing to be the king of success?"

Shi asked again: "If one day you change the laws and cause dissatisfaction among the nobles, can you ensure that you defeat them?"

"This is not the rebellion of Bai Gong, and Bai Gong was in chaos. The nobles only needed a new King of Chu, so if someone wants to be loyal people, they will oppose Bai Gong and quell the chaos."

"But if you change, you want to be enemies with all the vassals of Chu. Do you think you can fight these vassals now? If you gather their power, why do you think they will not choose a 'wise monarch' who is "Fagu's vassal"?"

"If you want to change the laws, then where are so many people obeying you? Or who will implement the decrees you issued?"

"Now, many nobles and scholars have fiefs, and they are also written, so they can become ministers. Now your decree is to deprive these ministers of their rights and fiefs. Can they enforce it?"

"Before the government orders were changed, the people did not get any benefits, so how could they support you when the princes and nobles were in chaos?"

Xiong is young after all and never considers these profound contradictions. These things hidden deep and unconsidered in daily life are the real resistance to change.

He sweated down, and secretly took a chance and said to himself: "The knowledge and contradictions of the Mo family are outstanding. They said it clearly, so I could know the root cause as soon as I heard it. Since they said it, there must be a way."

Now they are all in the secret room, so don’t worry about these words being heard by others.

And it is impossible for the nobles outside to think that they would directly point out the words to this level.

The King of Chu hurriedly said, "I'll ask for advice!"

"This time, the repayment conditions for the city-defense loan proposed by the Mohist school are hard to say, but now only six ears are available, so these methods can be said to be the basis for the future reform of the king."

The King of Chu suddenly realized that after all, he realized that this was for the loan repayment conditions.

However, he still didn't understand what these things had to do with what Shi said about future changes.

After thinking about it, I couldn't think of the connection, so I asked again.
