Chapter 26 Change
The small Handan, at this inconspicuous moment, can be regarded as the destiny of the Qin State in the next few decades.
After each of the three of them prepared, they came forward to start activities in their official identities, dying the king of Zhao, fighting openly and secretly between the young men, and the muddy waters that were both resentful between the new and old men, were even more turbid.
Solusan, who was temporarily staying in Handan City, had received a letter from Si Shang and also learned about the news that the rebels appeared in Handan.
He thought that these people must have a different purpose in coming to Handan, but he didn't know for the time being, because the short man met him when he was young, both from Lu and studied in Qin Huali, and they were descendants of the six surnames of the Shang Dynasty whom Zhou Gong migrated.
Because the head of the Mohist family in Handan hopes that Solusan can talk to these people first and ask more things in his private capacity.
Both sides wanted to meet, so they met.
It is said to be an old friend for decades, but after meeting, there is no joy of meeting the old friend.
After meeting these people, Solu asked with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard that you are arguing with a new Mohist, and he is just in a rough passage. I am afraid that it is impossible for us to express the morality of our Mohist family. Come today, should we argue these?"
What we talk about here is "the morality of our Mohist family", which is to remind these people that they have rebelled against Moh, but they are just old friends and there is no more gay friendship.
The tall man smiled slightly and said, "How can I argue with you in the great cunning of the East? You don't have to say that the truth is right and can be undefeated and has nothing to do with people. Today I won't talk about right or wrong, nor about morality, but just talk about it casually."
He had already admitted that the Mohist principles were correct and completely blocked the way Solusan might argue with him. Solusan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then drink, not talk about morality, but only talk about something else."
"I heard that Shengchuo has reformed in Qin? Let me tell you, I don't judge right or wrong based on morality, just talk about whether it is beneficial."
The shorter man nodded and smiled when he heard this. He was about to speak, but the taller man stopped him.
The tall man looked at Solusan and smiled and said, "Whether it is beneficial, this is what the Mohist school said. The key is 'whether it is beneficial to whom'. Don't omit who it is beneficial to whom. If it is beneficial to whom, there is no way to judge right or wrong. The Mohist school said that it is beneficial to all people. The profit we say is different from what you think. So, I still want to hear the evaluation of whether you think it is beneficial to Qin Jun and us."
When the short man heard this, he was shocked and thought that he had not argued with his fellow Mo family for the past twenty years. This method was indeed much worse. If he hadn't added this sentence, I'm afraid that Solu Chan would have to seize the opportunity to criticize us, and it would be embarrassing at that time.
I also thought that it was indeed the first person to go to the West, except for the right person. This person has a delicate mind and a changeable language, so he cannot be unaware of it. Although he is not a top figure in the Mohist school, he is far better than ordinary people and should not be careless.
When Soluchan heard this, he just smiled slightly and said, "Then I will listen to you and discuss whether it is beneficial to you."
The tall man then said: "Speaking of this, there are three steps in the transformation in Qin."
"The first step is to move the capital and change the land... This is how it is to move the capital and change the land, seven years ago..."
When this person talked about the four words "moving the capital and changing the land", he started from the beginning when Mr. Qin Lian returned to the country.
Nie Zheng stabbed Qin Jun to death. Qin Jun was just adult and had no children. The nobles fought against each other. Qin Gongzi seized the opportunity to get rid of the surveillance of Wei Hou. With the help of Shengchuo and others and old acquaintances in Qin, he successfully ascended the throne. He recruited one faction to fight another, and first dealt with a group of political enemies on the grounds of coups, rewarded the nobles who supported him, and relied on the empty fiefs of those political enemies to allocate interests.
Then, in the name of not forgetting the hatred of taking over the Xihe River, he aroused the emotions of the nobles in the country and used this excuse to move the capital.
If the slogan is shouted, it is difficult for the nobles to directly object. They will move the capital from Yongcheng, which is further west to the clear intersection of the Wei-wei, and build a new city.
The nobles opposed it and attacked them to collude with the Wei State. Such a big hat was taken down, and the nobles were not good at opposing it.
In fact, the reason for moving the capital was not to seize the Xihe River at all, at least not now, because the Wei Kingdom is now at its peak and it is impossible to take it back. The fundamental reason is to avoid Yongcheng, where the old nobles were crowded, and they could not be used at all and were constrained everywhere.
After moving the capital, Qin Jun changed the land and exchanged the lands that had previously dealt with political enemies with the nobles. Instead, he directly deprived the nobles of the nobles near the Xindu City, he used exchange methods to turn the land hundreds of miles near the Jingshui River into the Qin Jun's direct jurisdiction.
In this way, lay a solid foundation for change.
When it comes to it, it is easy to say. But behind these easy words are countless conspiracies, deaths, coups, the Yi tribe, and the people are booming.
After hearing the first step of moving the capital and changing the land, Soluchan nodded and said, "If you look at the benefits of Qin Jun, this step is very good."
The tall man smiled and said, "This is also thanks to what the Mo family did before. Before Si Shang, although the giant had moral integrity, no one was willing to listen to the king. When the king of a weak country guarded the city, he thought of us, but it would be impossible to change after defending the city."
"However, after I went to the Mo family, I had a foundation in the Mo family on Si Shang. After the Battle of Shangqiu, my words became more important, and the princes listened. You see, aren't you relying on Peixian Pengcheng and occupying... No, I'm doing justice to the fifteen countries on Si Shang?"
"It's not the same when it comes to Qin? Qin's great-grandfather was forced to kill by ministers. He was worthy of the nobles. If you want to change, it's better to leave first and accumulate strength."
"A bird in the forest is worse than a bird in his hand. If a bird in his hand, he will not starve to death, so he can only make a bow and cut arrows and catch thousands of birds."
"It's good to say, contradictions and interests. After you catch this, you can analyze it. The contradictions cannot be eased. In the future, you will always have to fight each other. Instead of being a monarch who can be forced to kill by nobles, it's better to be the largest monarch in Qin first..."
Soluchan nodded and said, "If you can think of this, it seems that you have learned the morality of the Mohist school a lot over the years."
The tall man nodded and said, "The truth is right, the key is how to use it. When the people know, they can seek their profits; when we know, they can also seek our profits."
Since I have said it before, if I don’t judge right or wrong by denomination, Solusan couldn’t say anything else. After asking for some details, the tall man started the second step.
"This move to change the capital and change the land is the first step. The second step is to establish a county reform."
The reform of establishing a county was the next goal of moving the capital and replacing the land.
Because after the land change, there were no great nobles in the land near the Xindu City, so hundreds of miles of land nearby were built in three counties.
The households are all registered, and five households are divided into horses or plowing oxen, and there are iron tools, but they only have the right to use, and the policy of installment redemption and personal purchase in Si Shang is not implemented.
