Three days later, the people who were in debt from Niu Lanyi came to the market with a contract. The number of people was very large, so they arranged for everyone to sit down.

Those who were not owed money also followed and watched the fun.

Most of the members of the Mo family's secretaries and members of the Xuanyi Department have followed him and handled such matters very quickly, and soon divided the debt into two categories.

One type is that the interest rate is not much. If the harvest is better this year, it can be almost repaid. But generally, you will borrow money next year.

In addition, the interest rate is so high that it can't be paid back at all, and it is obvious that it has been suppressed and cannot turn over.

Everyone was full of expectations and was looking forward to the happening of good things, but they were still worried.

Many old people came forward first and said to Shi: "The harvest has not been good in recent years, and I'm afraid I may not be able to pay it back."

Shi nodded and sighed, "You are pretty good here."

"Some border cities have to go out with the army every year, and their own fields are deserted and cannot be planted at all. As a result, they have to obey the emperor's orders and go out to fight, leaving only the old, young, wife and children at home. How can they be busy?"

"There has not been a big war in Luyang these years, but if the harvest is a little bad, it will be difficult to live..."

After he evoked these words, they immediately resonated with countless people.

Although people were puzzled by what I said when collecting debts, they no longer took it into consideration and complained.

It is said that although there has not been a war in recent years, a series of labor is unbearable. We have to cultivate public fields before we dare to take into account private fields, which often misses the season.

Sometimes when repairing city walls and palaces, they will ignore the farming season. They will repair them in some spring and autumn, and will have to perform martial arts in winter, but taxes cannot be paid less.

After complaining, Shi sighed and said, "This is a situation that is everywhere in the world. The Mohist family wants to benefit the world and the people of the world, so they have to consider such things."

He told everyone to be quiet and said, "This time we met Duke of Luyang, we heard that Jin and Chu were going to war again. The Mohist family emphasized both right and wrong and love, and hoped that there would be no dispute in the world. You said, would it be fine if we would never fight again?"

The important reason why Mozi proposed the theory of love and non-aggression and could have lasting vitality is that people all over the world are tired of war.

Especially... the war where you cannot get benefits. The literati and the nobles benefited, the farmers had to fulfill their obligations, and then they had to pay taxes. The fields in their homes were not time to plant, and they were exploited by the nobles' usury, and their lives were extremely hard.

It is naturally good not to fight. Even if all the problems cannot be solved, they can still solve some immediate problems.

Everyone was not shocked when they heard the news that they were going to fight again. The war was used to it, but they sighed one after another.

After hearing what the Mohist school said, they all agreed: "It is naturally good not to fight..."

"What is the reason for your Mo family?"

"Will the king listen?"

"Hey, you can tell that you have been a hundred miles away from you, you know the truth, why do you have to fight?"

Everyone wanted to know why the world is unstable and why it is necessary to fight.

So I took the opportunity to promote the truth of the Mohist school, and said it very simply, and those who heard it kept nodding.

Meng Sheng and Hu Feizi looked at each other and thought to himself: "Shi is indeed different from us. We must not be able to incite public opinion. Xuanyi's tribe cannot be managed by him! The truth he said is simple and easy to understand, and he often incites emotions when necessary. This is probably born..."

After a circle, he passed on all the matter of Duke Yang's decision not to collect interest to the Mo family.

So after telling the principles of the Mo family, he said appropriately: "I thought, if you say that if Duke Yang fought in battle, he could not defeat the enemy by himself, but the rewards were all his. I couldn't understand the benefits of those peasant soldiers who followed him to fight."

"Sometimes I think, like this Niu Lan's market. In the morning, there are many merchants and handicraftsmen. In the evening, there are no people."

"Do you say... are people who like mornings and hate evenings?"

This is a simple question, but behind this simple question is a truth that can make the world come to a world of chaos today.

After thinking about it, the sitting person replied: "I'm afraid it's not. Just because I want to sell my goods, I have to go early, the sooner the better."

Shi nodded and said, "In fact, what people like is profit, not morning, and what people hate is not evening, but cannot gain profit."

This principle is explained in a lot of popular way, and it also expresses the things hidden behind it, and people nodded one after another.

As he said, "So we asked Duke Luyang, saying... You can benefit from war and be granted the title of Luyang, so you are willing to fight this battle."

"However, farmers, they will die and be injured, cannot farm after being disabled, or the war delays the farming season, and they will not benefit. People hate unyielding, so they hate war. Why do you make the people brave?"

Where did the people present hear such a truth? They looked at Shi in surprise, thinking that this is their own voice? This Mohist principle is indeed something that can be heard.

Thinking again, if I said this, I would be dead. And the young man questioned this way, and he was still alive, and he also took the bond to tell everyone that there was a good thing. Is there any turning point?

Many people asked quickly: "Then... what did the Lord said?"

Shi shook his head and smiled, "What he said doesn't matter. I just said, just follow the method of our Mohist family benefiting the world. Maybe it can't be done now, but at least it must be possible for the people to get a little bit of small profit."

Someone was curious and said, "What is your Mohist family's way of benefiting the world? Tell me..."

It’s not just one person who wants to know, but many people want to know, but they stopped and said, “This is not urgent, you can say it slowly, and today I will only talk about that little profit.”

"I said, according to the principles of our Mohist family, I gave you a fiefdom of Luyang so vast, not for your wealth, but for your ability to manage Luyang well; I gave you a very high title, not for your arrogant, but for your conviction, and to promote laws. All this is to do things well, what can I do?"

"What we do is to make the local area rich and the people have no worries. Now that you can't do this, you will soon fight. The people cannot benefit and are afraid of being unable to win."

"I just said, I heard that you have a lot of money lending. For those who are rich, they will pay off their debts with a limited date. For those who are poor, they will not be able to pay off their debts even if they are urged for ten years. The longer the time, the more interest they have, and when they are in danger, they will use escape to lose their debts. If the urge is urgent, not only will they not be able to repay them in the end, but many people will think that you are greedy for money and profits and do not cherish the common people."

"It would be better to burn out the useless loan notes, abandon the books that are not true, and give the people little profits and let them fight for you."

When these debt-in-debt people heard this, they stood up excitedly. Many people felt that they had heard it wrong. Seeing that others were so excited, they were sure that they had heard it wrong.

What this young man said is really a good thing! This is to abolish these debts!

Although it is said very much, it is clearly stated to exchange small profits for public support, but it is still very touching.

After all, there is no need to buy it with small profits, this military obligation must be submissive. This is the rule between heaven and earth. The emperor grants the title of princes, the princes granted the title of the doctor, and the subordinates all have the title of the farmer under them. This is natural.

But...if it is really so natural, why is the person in front of me talking about it so red?

As he was puzzled, everyone stopped cheering and said, "Actually, based on the principles of our Mohist family, this is not the case."

"You were recruited before, but you could not make any profits. Sometimes you could not afford to repay and became a child servant. Judging from the principles of the Mo family, this is wrong. This is true in the world, so it proves that this principle itself is wrong. Let's talk about it slowly in the future."

"I'm asking you to come today, but it's just to give you small profits so that you can fight for it. You have to benefit everything, and you have to get something."

"Since that's the case, I'll say it."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "There are too much debts in everything and you can't even pay the interest. Each family will be able to do a good job of training the military formation and learn to use weapons."

"If you can learn it, then you can be exempted from interest. If you can not escape in the city, obey orders, and kill enemies, then you can be exempted from principal."

After saying that, he asked someone to take out the bonds and take out the ones that were picked and not paid back, and said, "As long as we agree, we will clear the interest now. During this period, the treasury will supply grain and rice, so we must not leave at will."

"Is there anyone willing?"

Many people have reached the point where only one life is left, and those debts have already been suppressed so that they can't breathe. And recruiting and serving is their obligation, and they cannot resist. How can such a good thing be there?

Benefit? When will farmers still need to be profitable when they fight?

Suddenly, more than a hundred people stood up and said, "We are all willing! Your Mo family keeps their word, we believe you. A piece of wood can be exchanged for twenty taels of gold, so how can we not believe it?"

There are too many people owing debts, and only these heavy debts can be found.

Shi nodded and said, "Since that's the case, don't worry. In addition, the defense of cities and towns needs to be repaired. I have already asked Duke Luyang, which is also a benefit. During the process of repairing cities, if you do well, you will be exempted from half of the rent and tax this year!"

Everyone cheered and calmed down, and said, "You don't have to worry, you just want to defend the city."

"Here, you don't know the reputation of my Mo family, but everyone knows it in Shangqiu Song."

"At the same time before, the King of Chu attacked Song. The Mo family opposed the unjust war and helped the Song people defend the city. Not only was they not captured, but they also forced the King of Chu to form an alliance. Then they would not attack Song Buyi again! You can ask those merchants, they all know about this!"

"If we are here, you will not have too many casualties. Isn't it worth it to use this in exchange for the exemption of these debts? It's like merchants selling goods, and they can negotiate prices with each other and trade them."

After he finished speaking, everyone was surprised and believed in his heart that this kind of lie could not be said casually, but was located in the border and could not be known.

Someone also asked strangely: "Since you helped the Song people defeat the Chu people, why are you here to help the Chu people again?"
