When Qin Huali saw Mo Zi thinking of others when he saw something, he also expressed his regrets about the old man he had never heard of. He sighed at his husband's age and couldn't help but feel sad.

He didn't know that Mozi had a regret of old age half a year ago. After he got sick, his disciple questioned the ghosts and gods, he realized that he had to integrate the Tianzhiming ghosts and the benefit of the world and love without attack before he died.

But time is getting less and less, and he has to deal with these things about the Mo family himself, which is really ineffective.

Qin Huali didn't know this, and thought to himself that since the gentleman wanted to accept a man named Shi as his disciple, he talked about this matter again.

But Mo Zi shook his head and said, "This matter is not urgent. As you said, this Shi is also a person with a strong mind. Didn't it take you several years to hesitate when you rebel against Confucianism and Mo? This person, even if Confucius was resurrected, it would take several years to change his mind."

"The matter is serious. The first major thing at this time was that after the rebellion of Gongsun Hui in Qi, a group of Mo people could not distinguish between big and small righteousness, and were corrupted by their salary and generous enjoyment. After finishing these things first, go to his house to ask about his daily life. His family always knows him best."

Qin Huali asked, "Sir, have you said something clearly about Shengchuo before?"

Mo Zi smiled bitterly and said, "Na Shengchuo asked me yesterday that he believed that he was right. He didn't know that he had heard some of Yang Zhu's knowledge under Xiang Ziniu, so he was very generous."

"He said that he earned his salary through his abilities. Could it be that the ink person should eat coarse rice and wear short brown? If so, he would rather not be the ink person. He also said that although his abilities are taught by me, I am not qualified to control his choice. People should be their own decisions, and even the ink person should not be the master of the giant."

"I think this way, not only him, but many people think so. It's a lot of people who have to wear short brown foods and eat corn after learning. How many people are willing to do that?"

Qin Huali didn't understand why this matter developed to such a point, but Mo Zi knew it in his heart.

A few years before this, even if Shengchuo was recalled and deprived of his authority as an official, the disciples had no resentment.

But after Mozi's illness last year, things finally became uncontrollable.

Many people just want to do justice in the world, while some people want to do justice in the world because they believe that ghosts and gods like this.

These two seem the same, but they are completely different.

Before Mozi's illness last year, the two people could not see the difference at all.

Those who truly practice righteousness are practicing righteousness and abide by the Mohist righteousness; they have learned the ability but believe that doing so is because ghosts and gods like it, and they are also practicing righteousness, and because ghosts and gods like it, they abide by the Mohist righteousness.

After getting sick, many people have become convinced that ghosts and gods may not exist at all. Otherwise, if we talk about ghosts, who in the world can compare with Zi Mozi’s sincerity?

Since Mozi has not received protection from ghosts and gods, who still believes that ghosts and gods like to do this? Since ghosts and gods cannot protect them, why do you still have to abide by the Mo family’s righteousness?

Mo Zi understood the root of the matter, so he was eager to sort out his principles and integrate them into them, hoping to plug this loophole.

Qin Huali didn't know the problem of faith collapse caused by this incident, so he thought that fitting this matter was as important as the Mozhe Conference that was about to be held.

"Sir, I'm thinking that Shi is the opposite of Shengchuo. He has the ability, but he doesn't use it for a generous salary. Even if he is not Mo, he still practices the Mo family's righteousness; while a person like Shengchuo is in the Mo family but does not abide by the Mo family's righteousness. Isn't this an opportunity? This person can shame those people!"

Mo Zi thought to himself that it seemed that Qin Huali was very satisfied with this Shi, so he said, "This person is true or false, and he still needs to check it out. There is no rush to do so, but he can tell you about the matter that he is not Mo and still sticks to the Mo family. When the matter here is straightened out, then deal with the matter."

Qin Huali responded: "Disciple understands."

…………

Shi, who was far away in Binshan, didn't know that Mozi had returned to Song State, nor did he know that his Mozhe's disguise would be exposed soon.

At this time, he was driving a ox cart with several men in the village, pulling a few stones that could be used as millstones.

It is easy to use the tools you bought with the gold you won, making the stones of the millstone.

For a large stone, draw ink lines and make wedge holes. Use a chisel to knock the holes around it, stuff the wood into it and use water to swell it, so it will naturally crack neatly.

If there are iron tools, you don’t even need wooden wedges to swell, and you will have a little accuracy on your hands. With only seventeen or eighteen holes, the stones will be able to be broken.

The cross section is neat and does not even need to be deliberately polished. Of course, the grooves used to drive out wheat flour on the stone mill must be carefully carved.

Shangqiu is located in Henan. Although the Yellow River has not yet been changed to the route at this time, the land is fertile and fertile. Since the soil is fertile, it is difficult to find a suitable stone, so I had to come so far to pull a few pieces back.

Normally, winter is the time for martial arts exercises. At this time, the degree of village and community autonomy is very high, and the need to fulfill feudal obligations is necessary, so drills are required.

However, the State of Song did not want to rise, and Duke Song was forced to hang himself by his vassals, and the domestic chaos was extremely strong.

The outside is sandwiched between Qi, Chu and Jin. It would be fine if they don’t rise. Once they rise, they will die. There is no chance to break the deadlock. They can only live a gangster in Jin and Chu.

Instead of acting martial arts to alert other countries, it is better to act like a harmless person and animal, just to become a bargaining factor for various countries to compete for hegemony and to rely on the north and south.

There are few things like doing martial arts in winter, so I have the opportunity to organize people to beat stones.

This time, this stone-pulling trip is also to examine the population density at this time.

After more than half a year of accumulation in the village and community, and this trip to pull stones, he became more and more convinced that his judgment was correct.

There are few people and many lands, so there is no need to do any meticulous farming. The main contradiction is that the underlying class cannot survive due to land annexation.

What we need to do at this time is four words: do our best, but it is definitely not a land reform. If you make a mistake, it will be impossible to achieve anything.

At this time, the land in the hands of a farmer in Jingtian Village was similar to that of a small landlord after the population explosion.

The 100-acre land in the well field is a kind of "people do their best" under the condition of backward tools, and no matter how many it is, it cannot be planted.

The yield does not need to be too high. One acre of land can produce 120 kilograms. If the nine provinces are unified, and the use of these seeds and annealed pig iron tools will create a prosperous era.

Therefore, the seeds were given strange names in order to deceive a evaluating the "Kang and Qianlong Prosperity" that advocated - "Prosperity" does not originate from the ruler's wise king, but from new crops and technologies. If the name is made up, the ink master created the prosperous era.

He is skilled and thoughtful about this method of greed for the right time and place for himself.

At this time, if you want to accomplish something, you still have to follow the path Mozi once took.

Relying on paper and knowledge, he monopolized grassroots officials in a certain country, and was good at borrowing the contradictions between nobles and monarchs, making the monarch think that the Mo is the sword in his hand, but the Mo also used the power of the monarch to survive in the early stage, and counterattacked when necessary.

A situation of balance between power: a state of monarch, aristocrats, grassroots officials and lower-level autonomous villages and communities.

If a monarch wants to centralize power, his first enemy is the nobles. When fighting against a noble, he must rely on the power of the lower class. To rely on the power of the lower class, a large number of grassroots officials are mortal enemies of grassroots officials and nobles, but he definitely does not like absolute royal power.

Once iron ox plowing and new farming technologies are popularized and promoted, the power of the nobles will grow faster. They have land, cattle, horses and capital in their hands, and develop several times faster than the bottom.

If a monarch wants to fight, he can only continuously increase his own strength. The monarch's strength only comes from the bottom, so the monarch who fights against the aristocrats must also increase them.

Once the bottom layer grows up, with money but no power, talent but no blood, then no one can control it.

If you play this kind of seesaw that balances the three, you can have a lot of room for activity.

Politics is a continuation on the material basis, so a group of capable but powerless classes must be created in order to maintain this balance.

The agricultural revolution is the basis for the great development of the exchange economy and handicraft industry. After doing its best, the development of handicraft industry will not be able to emerge.

When you have 200 acres of land, iron tools, and oxen in your hand, no one is willing to stay up late to spin and use it for your own use. It is too tiring.

When you only have two acres of land in your hand, if you don’t spin and use it for yourself, the whole family will have no clothes to wear. It’s a very simple truth.

A template that learns from history does not require too detailed farming techniques, and everything is based on the rough planting techniques of large plots of land.

This is a simple arithmetic problem. If intensive farming can produce 200 kilograms per mu, the limit of each labor force is twenty acres of land; rather than intensive farming to the extreme, the yield per mu is 120 kilograms per mu. As long as each labor force can cultivate 34 acres of land, it can be kept equal. If it is higher than 34 acres, it can be surpassed.

Can a labor force have 34 acres of land at this time? If you observe near Shangqiu, you are sure that if the iron tools are used and developed, they will definitely be higher than this value.

There are few people and more land, this is reality.

The sudden increase in yield will inevitably lead to a large number of people becoming cities where handicraftsmen live, and eventually forming a subtle balance after chaos.

I don’t know if the Legalists have done similar statistics, but he determined that the Legalists’ statement of “doing their best” is absolutely in line with the situation at this time, and it can be said that they have grasped the main contradiction.

These people who came with him to pull stones are not lacking in strength, courage, and the motivation to pursue a better life.

I believe that as long as they are given an iron plow, five or six families can share a cow, these people can quickly reclaim a large area of ​​land.

There are actually many such barren lands that have left those big cities and the vast plains that have been developed for hundreds of years.

But whether it is planting, measuring, teaching simple words, or going deep into the village and community to spread technology and win trust by using the means of using talismans and water samples, it requires a large number of people.

How can we ensure that these people who have learned knowledge are willing to go deep into these places? We are willing to work hard in the village community for a long time just like we disguised ourselves in order to win Mozi's trust?

He is a hard-working atheist, so he cannot adopt the temptation of ghosts and gods who like it. Ghosts and gods will bless you, and even after doing so, you can ascend to a land of no effort after death.

He has always believed in one sentence, that since ancient times, Zhuxia has had people who work hard, those who work hard, those who ask for the people, and those who sacrifice themselves for the Dharma... Although it is equivalent to writing the so-called "official history" of the genealogy for emperors and generals, it often cannot hide their glory. This is the backbone of Zhuxia.

There are many such people, and he feels that there is no need to have an unknown, personalized god to guide, intimidate, the temptation of heaven, the pain of hell...

None of these needs to be done, and they will continue to survive.

If there is no God in the world with personality, there will be no God’s preferences and dislikes, and there is no need to consider God’s preferences and dislikes in emotional personality.

Villages and communities help each other, not for mutual benefit, not for ghosts and gods to like.

He firmly believed that this would be possible, and there would always be people who would have great governance in the world and shine with the glory of ideals to join in.

Therefore, he never talks about the punishment of ghosts and gods and hell.

…………

…………

"Since what I did wrong, ghosts and gods would not punish me, then what am I afraid of? Isn't it easier to get rich than farming? Even if what I said is right, it would not be better than those noble men? It's okay, it's okay, and ghosts and gods would not punish me, so I will definitely not..."

In Shangqiu City, a farmer named Sang Sheng in a village community kept muttering to himself, as if he wanted to convince himself.

Whenever I talk to myself like this, I have been convinced by myself in my heart, just worried about the price afterwards, so as to firmly believe in my choice.

In his hand, he was holding six corn kernels and two peanuts.

This was something he hid quietly after seeing those gains with his own eyes.

The harvested seeds were hidden by Shi and a few of the most trustworthy people, leaving only some samples for display in the big house.

At the time of harvest, Sang Sheng had already planned what he wanted to do now in exchange for wealth and reward.

So he held these seeds and wandered in front of the Dai courtyard that dazzled him, wanting to find an opportunity to offer treasures.
