Chapter 338 Breaking the city, there is no blood (8)

With years of accumulation, the Mohist school has already had enough cadres to go deep into the grassroots level and can complete top-down control and change in a small area.

Now the power of Tengdi is in a vacuum period.

The young master had no foundation and was completely promoted by the Mohist school. He had already become a puppet who helped others to farm and was completely a puppet.

Teng Shuyu and other local snakes in Teng land were all injured and killed. They borrowed the Yue people's hands to clean up, leaving the Yue people's hands dirty, but the Mo family was clean.

It is completely different from the situation when it was not yet established in Pei County, and the methods used are completely unnecessary.

In Pei County, we first went deep into the villages and communities, and finally gained autonomy in the Battle of Shangqiu.

Here, we can use Jite, the puppet Teng Hou, to directly appoint Mo's master as the Xiangbang, and make a comprehensive reform.

It is said to be reform, but it is actually a revolution, but the blood has flowed through before and now it does not need to flow.

This is not a change that takes advantage of the old nobles and quarrels with the old nobles to deprive them of their interests, but a comprehensive change of customs after the Yue people was driven away and then drove away Yue people.

Land, the most important means of production at this time, is the starting point of change.

A large amount of public land, the wealth field inherited by the Yue people from the Teng nobles, and the private land of the Teng local snakes of the Yue people and the Yi people... All of this is a direct resource that can be mobilized, and no one will object: because the opposition has already died first.

When I was on the land buns, I watched the gathering people and asked someone to hand over three arrows.

Shi pulled out the first arrow and broke it and said, "From then, those who kill people will die, those who hurt people will be punished, and those who steal, rob and rape will be punished."

After the second arrow was broken, he said: "The Mo family benefited the world so that the people of the world could engage in production safely. Now Teng has suffered war and has been robbed by Yue people. This year, the millet tax is exempted, and the millet tax will be discussed in the future."

After the third arrow was broken, he said, "When the Yue people defended the city, they collected food, grass, firewood, but did not register. This is unrighteous. The Mo family was a righteous teacher. If the Mo people guarded the city, they would collect firewood, grass, and food, they would be registered and repaid in the future. Now the Yue people have withdrawn, but the food of everyone has not been returned yet..."

He looked at the people who were already full of expectations, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Seven days later, one person will come out to meet here to tell us how much food and grass they have been forced to collect by the Vietnamese. However, the amount of food and grass in the treasury is limited, so it is hard to say much. Each household will also make up for the near future. If there is a liar, if you are reported, you will be punished."

"As the saying goes, love the world, if you get more food, the treasury will have less food, and others will have less. When the lottery is decided, you may be the last one, so everyone will not make a falsification, and everyone will receive their own."

Shi stretched out seven fingers and said loudly: "Please tell each other that a rally will be held in the open space outside the southwest of the city in seven days. At that time, not only will the grain of each household be returned, but the debts you owed to Yue people before will be calculated and all of them will be cleaned up. No time will be overdue!"

As everyone cheered, Shi said something else and asked someone to promote the morality of the Mohist school.

What he said about the gathering after seven days was not just to win people's hearts, but to gather the people to establish a new regime and improve all political systems in accordance with the same way in Pei County back then.

Let him, the "Xianbang", become the first Xiangbang that Ji Te has the right to directly appoint, and the last one who can be directly appointed.

…………

A few days later, Pei County.

On the road between the countryside, several fast horses were galloping towards Peiguo Township. Many busy farmers stopped their work and ran to the road one after another.

Those who were repairing the irrigation canal also stopped and watched.

Everyone knows that the righteous army goes to the battle. These people who go to the battle may have their own sons, husbands, and brothers, and they want to know the result of the battle.

Several people riding on the horse held the flag of the Mo family. Whenever they passed by a crowded place, they would shout loudly: "Great victory! Shi Shuai's army has broken Tengcheng, and the Yishi's army has almost no casualties! Your family is well!"

The horses did not stay, just a few short words, blew to the township offices and everyone's homes with the wind.

Pei County was in full swing. On that day, more than a thousand people walked to the streets to gather, shouting loudly, drinking and singing, and the wine shops were crowded with people. People were chanting what happened a hundred miles away, and the joy from the heart.

All this also shocked the detailed works hidden in Pei County. The battle record of destroying the city with an immortality, and the city was broken in just a few days. This was simply a miracle created by the Mohist school.

It turned out... the Mo family not only knows how to defend the city, but also attack the city.

In Pei County, the most closely guarded place, the high-level figures of the Mohist family in Pei County gathered, and their faces were filled with joy.

They never thought that there would be any accident in the city of Teng.

However, no one expected that he would almost destroy Tengcheng without death, and the speed of the siege was astonishing.

Although they had known the right plan and knew that this was the first time they tried to attack the city with gunpowder, the results of this battle were really amazing.

Originally, he was good at monasticism, but he was good at promoting propaganda and knew about the ambition. Although he had a wonderful skill in the battle of Shangqiu, he was criticized for being unfair to fencing and unable to pull the bow.

After this battle, no one doubted anything, and his reputation was even better than before, and there were few people in the Mohist school who were dissatisfied with it.

The entire battle process was summarized and written on paper, and sent back to Pei County.

Unlike those who only know the brilliant results of the battle, the senior officials of the Mo family thought about it after circulating the summary of the battle sent back by Shi.

Some people think that muskets are indeed useful and the number of muskets should be increased.

Some people think that cavalry needs to be added to protect the spearman's flanks and to pursue the defeated soldiers, otherwise it will be easy to defeat.

Some people also think that from now on, I am afraid that the methods of attacking the city in the world will be very different. Isn’t this world even more chaotic by the technology of gunpowder breaking the city?

However, Mozi saw it more profoundly.

After he read the battle summary, he finished reading it when Qin Huali also said that just like the expression he had when he taught Qin Huali's city guarding technique on the top of Mount Tai, he asked: "Li, what do you think?"

Qin Huali thought about it and felt that since Mo Zi asked this, it was obviously not so simple to have a level problem, so he thought of a passage he wrote in it.

"The incident of Tengcheng digging into the city in a zigzag shape, and Yu Juzi defending the city through the walls shows that rational ambition and geometry can dominate the victory or defeat of the battle. The rational inference of heaven can change the hundreds of craftsmen and the victory or defeat of the siege. Then for the people of the world, it can be believed that rational inference can obtain the most perfect world system..."

Qin Huali thought for a while and said, "Is this always the thing I care about?"

Mo Zi smiled and said, "Shi once told a story that stood out. I have never heard of this story. I can be sure that he was a manuscript."

"But when he told this story, I first thought of when he stood out. That was when I was teaching in Shangqiu, and I was just talking about the art of knowledge and debate."

"I said that if I knew that something outside the window was white, and I heard that the color inside the house was the same as the color of the object outside the window, I could say that the color inside the house must be white. This is what my Mohist art says about knowing, hearing, and saying knowledge. The so-called saying knowledge is to use the known to come out of unknowns."

"Actually, I have always been aware that what Shi said seems to be the same as what I said, but it is not the same."

Qin Huali thought about Tianzhi who had been talking about all day long. After thinking for a while, she didn't feel any difference, so she asked, "What do you think is the difference?"

Mo Zi smiled and said, "My Tianzhi means... the color in the house is white. The Tianzhi he mentioned is the inference method of the result of white in the house."

Qin Huali thought for a while, as if he understood, and said, "The heavenly ambition he mentioned is an uncertain result, but a certain method. What he mentioned is a method, not a result?"

Mo Zi nodded and said, "That's it. He knows how to plant it most reasonably. I can tell at a glance that he actually knew it a long time ago. But... he clearly knew that he had to divide a few completely different pieces of land to plant it a few years ago to compare it."

"He doesn't want people to just learn how to plant reasonably, but to let the ink learn how to find a way to plant reasonably."

"What he calls heavenly will be a method, not a result. However, the result is inferred by this method, so the result is fixed. My heavenly will be the result I know."

"Just like walking on the wall, I know walking on the wall and guarding the city has miraculous effects. But why is it miraculous effects?"

Mo Zi shook his head and pointed to the book "Mo Shu Cheng Rules" published before, saying: "I have done a question for the nine numbers of geometry. As long as the person who solves this question, even if he doesn't know how to defend the city. When one day he needs to defend the city, he can easily draw a conclusion... Walking on the wall can help you defend more effectively."

"What he wants is not the conclusion, but these methods can spread throughout the world."

"Is the conclusion important? Important. However, if you know the method, you can know the conclusions of everything in the world."

"He said that it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. What he calls heavenly ambition is fishing, not fish."

Qin Huali realized it and nodded, "It's like this. But in the end, what is beneficial to the world is still a conclusion, right? Although you can always draw conclusions when you know the method,..."

He looked at Mo Zi and said, "But he knew a lot of fish, but he never told them all."

Mo Zi shook his head and said, "It's not that he doesn't say it, but that he's afraid that we won't understand these fish. Have you ever heard of the children he personally taught?"

Qin Huali nodded, knowing that Shi had chosen a group of intelligent children a few years ago, and followed him all day long, and he taught them personally. Including those who went to Chu State, these children also followed him. Sometimes he was curious and so he went to listen to them a few times, but he couldn't understand many things... and some things were even too shocked and incredible, but those children took it for granted.

For example, those closed children who are suitable for learning have now begun to say "how lightning is produced" and have begun to show what they have learned everywhere: using wool clothes to wipe out sparks like lightning at night, and swearingly saying that the electricity brought by the clouds in the sky is the flash of the night on those wool clothes...

The world these children know is completely different from others. They have been following suit since childhood, and have believed that the earth under their feet is round since childhood...

Mozi said: "He is teaching all the fish and fishing he knows to the children. You can no longer understand some things, and I can't quite understand them. Mr. Sai and Tang Han are so talented, but unfortunately I can't meet them at first."

"This time the siege was written clearly on it. Ask a question: Attack Tengcheng with the minimum casualties. Analyze the question: How are the casualties caused by the siege? Solve the question: How to avoid casualties from the siege one by one?"

"If you want to capture Tengcheng, how do you change to increase grain production? How do you improve the skills of hundreds of craftsmen? Even how to stabilize the world... This is all possible. As long as you have a method, you can always try it out and infer it."

Qin Huali thought for a while and suddenly asked, "So, what should I do if one day the gentleman thinks something is white and the gentleman thinks it is green? The righteous man mentioned is the conclusion. Now it seems that righteousness recognizes these conclusions, but what if one day he does not recognize it?"

Mo Zi laughed and said, "So he is right. Heavenly ambition is a method, not a conclusion. I once said that I have heavenly ambition, just like a craftsman, it is contrary to what he said. It is nothing more than that, my heavenly ambition is like three, four, and five strings, and his heavenly ambition is the square of the hook plus the square of the string must be equal to the square of the string..."
