Chapter Three Zero
The purpose of appropriateness is naturally to allow the Mohist family to penetrate the country of Chu, take advantage of the opportunity of change to control some of the bureaucrats in the Chu State, and at the same time, to use the opportunity of reducing titles and savings to cultivate a group of emerging classes.
Of course, the real purpose cannot be told to the King of Chu, but it can be controlled and penetrated secretly.
The reasons that can be explained must make the King of Chu feel that this is really considering him, and at the same time, it appropriately makes the King of Chu feel that the real purpose of the Mo family is to benefit the people.
Some political wisdom is not that the monarchs are not smart, but that they have no experience in dealing with the means of rebellion and seizing power in later generations.
Just as the donkey in Guizhou is not afraid of a tiger, it is not that he can win, but that he has never seen it.
Sui Shi said: "I have already told you the crux of Chu State when I was in Shangqiu for the past year. I just saw the pain I had to face in the secret room."
"Then if the reform is successful, the king needs to have the ability... when the nobles oppose and rebel, they can stand up and defeat them. Thus, they can implement legal policies that benefit the people of Chu, which is exactly what the Mohist school is looking forward to."
"Then, with the help of these Mohist cities to defend the city, defend Fangcheng Lu Pass, so that the prince must not enter Chu, this is the first step."
"The Mo family mines in Nanyang, which can not only enrich your treasury and give you money to fight against the rebellions of the nobles, but also make the people profit. I think you also know that the Jiahe reform in Pei County has doubled the wealth of the people."
"Only by planting changes in the people, you can recruit soldiers and train soldiers. Otherwise, the fields will be deserted and the people will be dissatisfied."
"Learn from the Xihe River, either the Mohist and Pei County, recruited people to join the army, or ordered the reclaiming of the land of the monarch in the future and allocated it to those who have made meritorious services, so that they can be willing to fight for you."
Xiong Yi is also a wise king. He understands the meaning of Shi, which is a necessary means to strengthen centralization.
There is no need to talk about the benefits of weakening the nobles. Xiong Yi seems that if the nobles' fiefdom can be reclaimed, then the land belongs to the farmers, and the taxes they pay can be directly concentrated in their own hands.
In theory, because the exploitation of aristocrats can make farmers less exploited, and with the technology of the Mohist school, this improvement is obvious.
The farmer of course hopes that he has a piece of his own land and liberates from the heavy feudal dependence relationship.
However, Xiong Sui thought this matter...is hard to say.
If you directly attack the nobles, will the people support themselves? Do the people trust themselves? Can the people help themselves win the counterattack of the nobles?
He did not consider the deeper problems of Mohist infiltration, but these simple problems were already difficult to do.
After hesitating, he said, "This is exactly what you said just now. Only if the people can make a change can the people benefit and know the benefits of the laws. But before the change is successful, the monarch still controlled the people. They were dull and did not know the benefits and benefits, and they were afraid they could not borrow them."
Shi nodded and said, "That's why we need to build Yan Ying."
Xiong is even more surprised, and he can't think of any connection between these two things.
He said: "Yan Ying is well-connected, it is the important place of Chu, and it is also the old capital of Chu. However, was Yan Ying really just to prevent the invasion of the Three Jins? If the Three Jins have arrived in Yan Ying, then the prince must be able to expel you."
"So, in name, the construction of Yan Ying was to prevent foreign enemies, but in fact, it was to prevent the nobles and princes from fighting back in the future."
"As long as you defend Yan Ying, you can gradually defeat those counterattacking Fengjun. Yingdu, Yan Ying is under your control. This is the essence of Chu State, and most of it is your direct fining land. If the transformation here is successful, you don't have to worry about the counterattacking Fengjun."
"Therefore, the construction of Yanying and urban defenses is just for the sake of the future. Some changes can be initiated in Yanying first."
"You know the talents of the Mo family nowadays. The world is also famous."
"If the attacks of Zheng, Han and Wei were resisted in Luguan, the iron smelting workshop built in Nanyang, and gained the trust of the people in Yanying, then the reform could be successful."
"If... the Mo family master recommends one person, can you appoint the county magistrate, and can you change first?"
The Mohist family has lost its talent, and the development of Pei County has long been spread all over the world during the Battle of Shangqiu. If the Mohist family could be the county magistrate, Xiong was sure that this could make a big county government harmonious.
This is a real surprise.
Mozi has been lobbying monarchs from all countries all year round, and has the ability and precedent to recommend people as officials.
Moreover, Mo Zi wanted to recommend someone as an official, and his methods were extremely high, which was also the reason why many disciples defected before.
At that time, Mozi first sent Guan Qian to Weiguo and spread Gao Shizi's reputation. He also praised him for his reputation in Weiguo.
The king of Wei appointed Gao Shizi and granted him the title of nobles.
Gao Shizi, who had passed away at this time, was a stubborn Mo family disciple. He advised Wei Jun to implement the morality of the Mo family, but he did not expect Wei Jun would not listen at all.
So he resigned in anger and gave up his high-ranking official and generous salary. Mo Zi also praised: "The world is unjust, and benevolent and righteous people should not be in a position of generous salary. Now that Wei Jun is unjust and is greedy for his salary and title, he is only trying to eat other people's rice and grain. So you do a good job and deserve to learn from the Mo family disciples."
This incident has been widely known through the Mohist articles that have been spread among the market. It is also known that Mozi wants to recommend his disciples, either to persuade the monarch to practice the morality of the Mohist family, or to think that this is still a "monarch with Tao" and can be saved.
The King of Chu never thought that the Mo family would make a request to be a county magistrate. He was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "What's wrong with this?"
Over the years, the Mo family became famous and even fought with some nobles in the Chu State. Xiong felt that the Mo family could only rely on themselves at that time.
Moreover, the reputation of the Mohist family spread too much and was too high in publicity. He only asked the people recommended by the Mohist family to be county magistrates, and everyone would not object. He could do this power.
Xiong Yi looked at Shi and said repeatedly: "Do you want to be the county magistrate? You are known to everyone in the world."
Shi shook his head and said, "It may not be me. Moreover, although there are hundreds or thousands of people in the Mo family, there is actually one person. One person is the county magistrate. He wants to benefit the world, but he will definitely not be one person, but many comrades assist him."
"If I were the only one, could I do something?"
The King of Chu was even more happy that it was either one person, it was a group of people... If such a person came to Chu State, these future changes might really be realized.
As long as you defend the area of Fangcheng first and prevent Zheng, Han and Wei from entering the prince's decree, then what happened next... the King of Chu felt that there was great potential.
The State of Chu is not the State of Song, and the King of Chu is not worried about the situation like Song, and the matter with Song... the Mo family appeared as a mediator.
As for Pei County, it is not Yan Ying. In the eyes of the King of Chu, it is impossible for Pei County to have a semi-independent situation: there are no strong enemies around Pei County, and the number one enemy of the Mo family is the nobles. If you want to change, it seems impossible to use the power of the king. If you really want to rebel against the nobles and the monarch, you can kill them.
This seems to be the dead end of copying the road to Peixian.
Since the King of Chu was moved, he took the opportunity to express some good strategies that sounded extremely beneficial to the King of Chu but were actually extremely favorable to the Mo family... or in other words, the King of Chu's view was good strategies.
The Mohist school should monopolize education and cultivate follow-up talents.
The Mohist school must master the armed forces and infiltrate the armed forces.
The Mohist school needed to activate the wisdom of the people. With the idea that the king wanted to centralize power, he first attacked the nobles of Chu.
These points, to the King of Chu, were another statement that was very beneficial to him.
The king's army of Chu was the elite force of the King of Chu, but it was appropriate to believe that these forces were not enough and a group of new troops should be trained.
In the Battle of Shangqiu, the Mohist school's infantry battle became famous, and the firearms and gunpowder were even more powerful.
The King of Chu naturally hoped that he would also have a "Pei County Yishi" who obeyed his orders, and could be a strong army with hundreds of people running through the formation.
If a noble becomes riot, he can not only control the capital, but also lead to a decisive battle with the nobles.
The Mohist school has the skills to train military forces, and can be borrowed.
Shi said that these new troops should not use aristocratic children, but a part of the industrial and commercial people. At the same time, in the future, the Yanying reform will be successful, and a part of small peasants can be recruited to join.
Since it is nominally intended to be used by the King of Chu, the King of Chu needs to pay military pay, and the quantity does not need to be too much. If the money is not enough, the Mo family can borrow it.
At the same time, a part of Yan Ying's tax revenue can be left as the training fee for the new army in addition to being paid to the state treasury.
The Mohist school can provide some grassroots officers and trainers, and the training site is in Yanying for the future.
What the King of Chu heard was for the future, so naturally, if he completely turned against the nobles in the future, this new army could defend Yan Ying and prevent the nobles from directly breaking the capital of Ying; and when necessary, he could also bring Ying to control the situation.
Whoever takes charge of the troops means that the King of Chu can issue tiger talismans. After the army is formed, the tiger talismans can be issued to those who are trusted by the King of Chu. I think the soldiers will obey the orders of the holders of the tiger talismans.
This sounds extremely beautiful.
A method of monastic soldiers was used to impress the Chu people in Shangqiu.
Second, the new firearms of the Mohist family are only taught by the King of Chu, such as those gunpowder thunders that shine under Shangqiu City. How can the rest know how to use them?
Moreover, it seems that the Mohist school does not control military power, and it seems that it is just training the army, for the purpose of future reform.
Furthermore, if you lack money, the Mohist family can also provide loan support, which is obviously an additional use for defending the city this time.
As for monopoly education, it is even more exaggerated and it makes sense.
I don’t talk about teaching anything, I just say that if the King of Chu wants to make changes in the future, it will inevitably require a large number of capable officials to succeed.
And today, it seems that the Mohist school is the best, or even the only choice, to teach capable officials.
These two things are beyond the previous negotiations.
The King of Chu also understood that these things were too confidential and could not be known to the nobles in advance.
