Chapter 364: The Golden Drum Hand of the Pawn Gentleman (5)
There is no need to mention the training. At the beginning, it was nothing more than the queues, marching, flutes and drums that King Shu Qing was familiar with.
During the October, when the autumn wind was cool, in addition to training, Shu Qingwang was busy with a series of organizational construction in the company, and he had to hold meetings and study every few days.
Most of the time, they are in the brigade and sometimes they will organize them to explain some content by senior officials who are waiting for the metropolitans.
After the gentry was organized and did not want to be familiar with it, he, the company representative of the Mo family, first formed the Soldiers Committee according to what he learned.
And this strange-sounding soldier committee quickly integrated into the company's daily training and life because it involved the "public supervision of food expenses".
Eating is a big deal.
This system was established when King Shu Qing served before, and now this system is more perfect.
Because before, when King Shu Qing served for the first time, there was a word called "partner", which was a word unique to the Central Plains Army and was later introduced to the market. But now this word is gradually dying among the righteous army.
Originally, they had to cook rice in pots. When the princes and nobles conscripted their disciples, they ate corn or wheat most of them, and most of them were wheat. Originally, wheat was eaten cheap, and wheat that could not be removed from bran was several times harder than corn.
The clay pots were not too big, and the sects did not have tents at night. When camping, they would cook rice in clay pots together around the campfire, which was for the "fire companion".
But now, iron pots that are difficult to buy in Peixian City have appeared first in the army. They are all bulky cast iron. One company has two big pots, and one special army is responsible for cooking, which is directly affiliated to the brigade rather than the company.
The word "partner" gradually disappeared from the righteous teacher.
The logistics system of the Yishishi has an extremely special feature, that is, it only provides enough staple food, and all the other things such as vegetables, oil, meat, fat are distributed to the company.
An important reason why the Soldiers Committee was established in the army and was soon promoted was because of the issue of eating - the Soldiers Committee has the right to supervise and discuss how to spend the food this month.
Many people think that this is a matter of taking off your clothes and farting. This is a waste of time. King Shu Qing once thought about it this way.
But during a study in mid-October, Shu Qingwang finally understood the significance of this matter.
At that time, the representative of the Mohist in the voyage, Liuzhi, told a story to Shu Qingwang and others, saying that it was just for him to tell him.
The story is very simple. It is said that there is a man in Chu who raises an elephant. When the elephant was small, he tied a rope to a pillar.
As time passed, the baby elephant grew up slowly, as big as six or seven cows, but the elephant was still tied to a very small pillar.
When the two masters traveled south to Chu, they asked the elephant in confusion that the elephant-raising elephant could easily be broken with such a small pillar, why did the elephant never break free?
The elephant-raising person at that time said, "You can't get rid of me when you are young, so you're used to it, so it's natural."
King Shuqing had never seen an elephant. Before Mozhe came to Pei County, he had never heard of this thing, such as ivory, or something. Many princes and nobles had it, but they had no intersection with him, so naturally they didn't know it.
Nowadays, many people from Chu in Pei County, some of whom were in the south of Yunmeng. They had seen elephants. King Shuqing also knew that this thing was a strange and powerful animal with "pig ears, as big as three or five cows, and a long nose that could hang to the ground."
After Liuzhi told this story, he told Shu Qingwang and others, saying: It is natural to take it for granted. This sentence is terrible.
Those who are accustomed to the feudal system, working in public fields and working for free will take this as a matter of course.
But those children who studied in Peiguo Township School believed that it is natural for all to be equal to the ministers of heaven, both old and young, and noble and humble.
Since the Mohist school wants to "gather public opinion and choose the emperor, and to argue good morality and form a system", the idea of everyone being equal must be cultivated from an early age and so accustomed to it.
The Yishi and the School are the two places that the Mohist school can master best, and they are also the places that the Mohist school regards as the future. Therefore, these two places must be exposed to concepts such as "supervision", "public opinion", "discussing centralization" from an early age.
Shu Qingwang remembered that Liuzhi solemnly told everyone present to study that this was not an extravagant move to take off his clothes and fart, but a kind of execution and pursuit of the Mo family's morality.
It is also based on the most common food and drink, so that everyone in the righteous teacher can realize the importance of "gathering public opinion and supervision" - the vegetable money is paid every month and spend it casually. The Soldiers Committee not only needs to supervise whether the buying personnel are corrupt, but also be responsible for their own decisions.
The soldiers of each company can choose to eat meat at the beginning of the month and lick salt at the end of the month. That is their freedom, but they must understand that after everyone's "public intention" is gathered, everyone must be responsible for the consequences of this "public intention".
At the same time, it is also to avoid fighting in the future, those who return to their hometowns will take it for granted by the fact that they are accustomed to this system of equality, supervision, and consultation and discussion.
King Shu Qing was completely enlightened and understood the importance of this matter. Soon after, he came again, summoned them to hold a meeting, and also talked about this issue.
King Shu Qing remembers that what he said was more lofty than what Liu Finger said.
He said that those who do not plan for all realms are not enough to plan for a corner; those who do not plan for all generations are not enough to plan for a while.
Those who are determined to be rich in the world must plan for all realms and eternities, even if the world is so big, and the current Mohist rules are only in the Sishui River Basin, and such long-term plans must be made.
Since we have to do it, we need to start from many small things, so that everyone can familiarize themselves with what the possible paradise of the future will look like, so that everyone can personally feel that the Mohist morality of equality and love and non-aggression can be realized, and it can also subtly make them take things like equality and public opinion for granted.
To plan a corner, you must be clear about the future realms; to plan for a moment, you must be clear about the future world. Every Mohist must do it and understand the world's ten thousand and ten thousand and all the worlds introduced from the Tianzhi. What is left is to constantly chase the ten thousand and ten thousand and all the worlds that seem not far away now.
King Shu Qing remembered clearly that he told them more than once that day that war was to stop fighting, and the Mohist warned with the righteous army to change the world and the Tang and Wu revolution, not to be like Bi Wan of Jin who started from a common man and became a prince and noble under the old rules.
The representative of the Mo people among the righteous teachers should solve the important doubts of the soldiers.
That is: Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Why am I fighting?
What is the difference between me and when I was a disciple?
What kind of world do I fight now for?
Does this world include me?
This series of problems, reflected in the normal life of the company, starts with the most basic soldier committee.
The Soldiers Committee has many responsibilities, but eating is something that everyone should pay attention to. Starting from this small thing, it is easy to promote the rest of the aspects as the basis of the Soldiers Committee in the Volunteer Division.
For example, laws, military orders, uninfringement, avoiding war and fleeing, and other problems.
Just as King Shu Qing did not know how to use muskets, the army's soldiers committee did not exist since the founding of the world, but it appeared now and soon received widespread support from the soldiers.
In addition to being the representative of the company Mozhe, Shuqing King was elected as the representative of the company's soldier committee member by the soldiers. This system was also easy to implement during local training in Pei County.
Unlike elsewhere, Pei County's commodity economy is very developed. In addition to the Mohist goods such as salt, iron, and spirits, with the development of the agricultural revolution, many commodities can be bought with tokens issued by the Mohist family.
