Chapter 45: The Penalty Ding has not yet been cast (Part 2)(1/2)

After the sun sets, the people in the village walk in groups of three or three to the place where they listen to stories on weekdays.

There is no insect wax in the village.

There is a little oil that is better to keep and eat, so you can't let it be used for lighting. Not to mention the bright oil lit in the Imperial Palace of Sicheng, from the Qi State Sea.

Mozi and Yiren walked over together like spectators, wanting to know how to deal with Sang Sheng's affairs at a time.

Those who walk with Mozi call him Mozi.

Mo Chengzi was from Zheng. Before he became a man of Mo, he admired the former ruling Zichan, who was proficient in the criminal books issued by Zichan.

Zichan was named Cheng, so he copied Cheng Zi named himself this, which means that people who want to be Zichan were responsible for rewards and punishments among the Mo people.

Before Zichan issued the criminal code, all countries used secret laws that nobles had the final right to interpret.

The so-called "the punishment is unaware of, but the power is unpredictable."

If the gangster knows the law, then it will not be unpredictable, and the nobles will lose the final right to interpret and judge. There may even be "disguised people" who take out the provisions in the criminal letter and say that the aristocrat's judgment is wrong. This is absolutely absolutely necessary.

Mo Chengzi was also a low-level aristocratic family, but he supported the law of writing against the secret law. After becoming a Mo, he believed in the rules of the three forms mentioned by Mo Zi, and he had to formulate laws according to those three forms.

After knowing about Sang Sheng, he also considered some things, but he could not find the best solution. He could reward him and punish him for mistakes.

Even if Mo Zi doesn't ask him to go with him today, he will come with his husband to see what he will do about this matter.

The two walked together, came to the bonfire outside the dirt house, greeted the people in the village, and sat aside to cook the fire.

The villagers were working hard for a day and were discussing Sang Sheng's affairs. Several people even had an argument about this, and some of them were blushing.

Mozi suddenly asked Mo Chengzi and said, "What do you think here looks like?"

Mo Chengzi smiled and said, "I don't want to say it, but I want to say it too. This place looks like the village schools near Xinzheng back then."

This is exactly what Mozi wanted to say, nodding slightly.

Back then, there were many village schools near Xinzheng. In the evening, people from the city gathered, singing or drinking, discussing national affairs, discussing the king's and the gains and losses of government.

Doctor Zheng Ranming was very dissatisfied with this and once suggested that Zichan destroy these village schools, believing that people would be restless if this continues, and that some radical ideas will always be spread among these village schools, and they will often evaluate the policies formulated by Qi Mu Shangqing or Zheng Bo.

Ranming's opinion was rejected by Zichan, and he believed that this could tell the gains and losses of the governance.

However, after Zichan passed away, all the village schools in Zheng State were destroyed, and such similar things were forbidden.

Mo Chengzi listened to the discussion by the bonfire again and commented: "Sir, this place is different from the former Zheng Township School. Zheng Township School discusses the East and the East, and argues endlessly. Although there are also disputes here, the principles they follow in their words are all the morals that I and my husband are familiar with. Zheng Township School, the East and the East, and the East have their own meanings; here, the gathering of the West and the East are all under the same meaning."

Mo Zi seemed to have not heard these words and did not answer, but stared at the burning bonfire.

Looking at the flames lit in the bonfire, thinking about what I saw and heard in just two days, I sighed for a long time: "From yesterday to now, this rural gathering place is the fifth thing that surprised me."

He didn't know what Shi said to him accidentally, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Cheng, how many people are there today?"

He is a giant, so he knows naturally.

Mo Chengzi knew that the teacher would have a deep meaning in this question, and replied: "A true man of Mo, even if he is not considered a person like Shengchuo, has more than four hundred."

Mozi asked again: "If there are more than four hundred people who act like this, and with his ability, how many places can such a village gathering be affected?"

Mo Chengzi replied: "Sir, if you don't care about the prince of the office, you can let the people of Yidian gather in this way. You have talent and wisdom, you can understand the heavenly ambition, have good seeds and money from gambling, as well as millstones and shackles and other things. It took you half a year. People's intelligence is born, but wisdom and heavenly ambition can be learned, and good seeds can be harvested. Therefore, if you follow the teacher's words, it can affect four hundred deities in three or five years."

Mo Zi nodded, picked up a wooden stick and threw it into the fire, and asked another question that seemed to have nothing to do with this matter.

"In the past, Taigong hoped to be granted the title of Qi, how broad was the land?"

Mo Chengzi didn't think about why Mr. Suddenly asked this, and then replied casually: "It's less than five hundred doughs."

When Mozi was about to continue asking, someone shouted by the bonfire: "It's time for you!"

He was a loyal and righteous man. Since he had said that he would only read and not speak, he would really only read and not speak. He nodded at Ji Chengzi and signaled that Ji Chengzi would not speak either.

As we came here in dust, I had already seen Mo Zi.

But he knew Mo Zi's nature. Since he said that he would only read and not care about it, he would really only read and not care about it, so he did not deliberately say anything.

After spending a long time with the village community by the campfire, Mozi has a great reputation, and after all, it is better to be closer to the familiar Shi.

When everyone saw Shi coming, they shouted, "Shi, Sang Sheng's affairs must be resolved."

"That's right, can't Liu Finger be beaten for nothing?"

"If Mr. Mozi hadn't come to him yesterday, you would have been beaten, and those seeds might have been stolen."

As soon as they arrived, everyone made a way and naturally let Shi go to the bonfire.

Everyone no longer formed a circle around the bonfire, but formed a fan.

As he pressed his hands, everyone calmed down.

"This matter is related to the people in the village and community. Everyone must discuss the result together. But what can we do? The land belongs to the king, and you are granted land to you. You have no right to drive him away; the punishment is not something we can use; the six fingers are beaten may not be Sang Sheng's original wish, and perhaps he himself does not know that such a thing might happen."

Liuzhi followed Shi and muttered, "He also said you harmed him, and said you were an evil ghost."

Everyone was also dissatisfied with the words, and Shi smiled and said, "He said I am an evil ghost, am I?"

The village community stood up and said, "Then let it go?"

Shi shook his head and said, "That's how I think. Let me ask first, why are we getting together?"

In this case, Shi has been instilled dozens of times.

As soon as I asked, I immediately received a shared answer from dozens of people.

"Of course it is for what you often say about mutual benefit. Now that you only buy a few cows, the villagers and the community cannot get a share of things, and some things cannot be done by the whole family. Therefore, you should benefit each other and help others is for yourself. It is just for profit."

Mo Zi nodded secretly, thinking that even some new Mo people might not be able to figure it out. The people in these villages and communities thought it thoroughly.

After thinking about it again, I realized the result of this difference: the villages and communities are indeed profitable, but after all, they are still the same word for profit.

When Shi heard these people say this, he said, "Let me tell a story. There is such a group of cows in the world, all of which are black. These cows help each other, with their horns outwards, and resist tigers and wolves. Suddenly one day, the fur of a cow turned white... If white is the greatest sin in the eyes of these cows, then how should we punish this cow?"

Everyone thought about it and said, "Then drive him out of the cattle."

"Since this story is the truth, is this matter not resolved yet? Everyone gathers here, in the nearest to help each other and benefit each other, and in the far away, in order to realize the paradise one day. But Sang Sheng does not believe it, so everyone will no longer benefit each other."

"Reclaiming the land is the power of the public clan, so the public clan can punish it by taking the land back. The confiscation of money and corn is no different from the military tuition, silk and millet, so that is also a punishment that the public clan can use."

"For us, mutual benefit, and inability to gain, is the punishment we can impose."

“So, I think I can do this.”

"Sangsheng's cows that were shared by several families are no longer available, but he no longer needs to fulfill his obligation to feed cattle."

"If the village community's millstones and millstones are needed to use them, they need to get money or corn because he has not participated in the millstones and mills, so he cannot use them."

"He can still come to the venue for the party because he once rammed the earth for this, but some new methods of planting cannot be listened to."

"The village and community collected Sumai in the future and prepared the grain for the year of the wasteland that they jointly took out every year. When it encountered the wasteland, Sang Sheng's family could not eat it and could only spend money to buy it."

"The rest of the things are the same. He cannot participate in any mutual benefit. Things like military taxes, martial arts, wars, and millet taxes that are not under the jurisdiction of the village community are as usual, and this is not something we can manage now."

"Everyone think about it. If you can, just do it like this. Follow the discussions between several public oxen companies, and after reaching an agreement, select one person to express their agreement and disagreement, and then make the final decision, and don't mess around."

After saying that, the people around the bonfire separated according to their usual recognition of feeding oxen together, and each expressed their own ideas.

It sounds very messy, but if you look closely, you will find that it is like plum blossoms, although they are petals but they surround a center.

Shi knew that he used a method he didn't like to artificially create cracks in a village and community and divided them into two colors.

Trusted.

Don't believe it.

When those who believe are the majority, those who do not believe will not say that they do not believe but will only say that they believe.

He gave these people hope, and now his power is to cut off someone's hope.

The hope you can see is the most terrible punishment at the moment of destruction.

If you are clear, you will get the results you want, and this result is that Sang Sheng will be completely isolated in the village and community from then on.

Even if he was isolated, Sang Sheng could not leave. He was a farmer under the land system and could not go anywhere without money. Moreover, because he needed to fulfill his feudal obligations, escaping was a crime in the eyes of the nobles.

The application of corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and winter wheat allows these people to see hope that is within reach, and also gives him a punishment that he can perform, called the punishment of shattering hope.

After all, the word "profit" is still a word "profit" and only this word can gather more people without changing it into religion.

Soon, everyone gave a consistent result.

After agreeing to the appropriate practice, Sang Sheng was not allowed to participate in most activities in the village community from then on.

Everyone has no right or need to recruit military taxes.

Those things themselves have only obligations but no rights to the gangsters of the village community, so naturally there is no punishment for depriving them of their rights, only punishment for aggravating their obligations, and this will only cause dissatisfaction, but this dissatisfaction has nothing to do with the Mo, but only with the monarch.

Just as everyone was making a decision, a heart-wrenching cry came from a distance, and Sang Sheng's wife knelt in front of the village community in tears.

"Shi... you are trying to harm me! Even if Sang Sheng did something wrong, what did I do wrong? He told me a few days ago that he would be able to live a good life soon and live a life like that in the paradise. I didn't think much about it, who knew he could do such a thing?"

"Please, please, those cows, millets and wastelands...I'm not wrong."

Indeed, she was not wrong.

A proper decision would mean harming her.

Under the field granting system, land is granted according to households and agriculture is the main force, and it is destined that men are the main labor force, and women are destined to be able to belong to men. In fact, they are essentially attached to land, but it just happens that the owner of the land belongs to men according to the military land tax system and labor level at this time.
