The inevitable cause and effect will always attract thought.

The businessman guard who had talked with Wu Qi for a while had left, but Wu Qi sat in the grass pavilion and remained motionless for a long time.

He did not have a deep understanding of the Mohist theory, but he also knew that the "necessary natural aspiration" advocated by the Mohist school was about the paradise of the era of iron and gunpowder. There should be a completely new world to combine the paradise of heaven, which is a change that has not been seen in a thousand years.

His thoughts on the future of Song Guoshiqing were triggered by himself.

He once said that there are five things that arise from soldiers: one is to fight for fame, two is to fight for profit, three is to accumulate evil, four is to internal strife, and five is to cause hunger.

Under the current situation, the Song State will always cause civil strife and cause trouble.

Before this, he had summarized hundreds of years of historical experience in the world and divided the origin of war into these five types.

However, in recent years, the Mohist theory has been spread throughout the world and always said that it is necessary to explore the "original origin" of all things. Wu Qi suddenly realized for a moment that five of the ordinary soldiers he summarized were the source of war.

But what are the sources of these five types of riots?

For example, the Song Dynasty was expected to be in chaos, what is the root cause of this civil strife?

Is it just an instigation from the Mohist school?

If so, then what is the root cause of the Mohist school’s incitement?

He once said that if you are not in harmony with the country, you cannot go out; if you are not in harmony with the army, you cannot go out; if you are not in harmony with the formation, you cannot go into battle; if you are not in harmony with the war, you cannot go into battle.

Nowadays, if Taoqiu looks at Taoqiu, you will know that Song is not in line with the country. So if Taoqiu, Shangqiu, Pengcheng, Ningling, Chuqiu and other Song cities are not in line with the country, then what is the country?

The world has not yet been unified, so the concept of a country is difficult to define. Wu Qi was a native of Wei, but became famous in Lu, Qin and Chu, and Wei, and now he is going to run to Qin again, which makes him begin to think about what he is pursuing.

The rebels of Mo said that when a person dies, he cannot live just because he dies. Therefore, even if the Mo family is right, the world will eventually move towards the paradise of the Mo family, but he cannot do nothing because of this. Because the Mo family is also doing it, and there is no waiting there because of this necessity.

Wu Qi thought to himself that he was seeking fame and fortune, but what was the origin of his pursuit of fame and fortune? What was the ultimate goal?

Some people seek fame and fortune, for money, sex, and profit, but they understand that all they want is to display their ambitions.

But what will happen to this ambition in the end?

After thinking for a long time in the grass pavilion, the guards beside him did not dare to be surprised and speechless for a long time. Wu Qi stood up and went with doubts.

Under a big tree not far from the exchange, Yimo was giving lectures there. There were many people kneeling on the ground to listen to the lectures. There were many sword holders and handicraftsmen with short brown straw sandals.

Taoqiu is full of scholars who teach in the world, and the atmosphere is very strong. Wu Qi did not approach and listen, but heard such words as soon as he passed by.

"Why can gold buy some things? Or why can we buy more food? Why don't we buy ten thousand pounds, and why don't we buy one pound?"

"This is because the slaves who dig gold can mine so much gold in a year, and if the slave goes to plow the fields, they can harvest so much food. So the gold can buy so much food."

"There are measurements in the market, so the measurement of gold and food is the labor..."

After these words, bursts of cheers came. Wu Qi knew that this was also part of the Mohist theory. The whole world was talking about it twenty years ago. He knew in his heart that these words were the root cause of the Mohist saying that the nobles of the Shiqi are all worms.

These words cannot be refuted, so the existence of the nobles of the clans will not be based on the principles of nature. Their reputation is not right and their words are not smooth.

But will these words be lost? There are endless people working all over the world, and these words will probably not be lost in the world. There will always be people who believe that someone will remember them.

Wu Qi thought of the word "original origin" again, thinking that the Mo family was indeed explaining the origin of many things in the world. The more people knew the origin, the more difficult it would be to maintain the nobles in the world.

The lecturer was still talking, but Wu Qi did not continue to listen, but walked slowly into the market.

Looking at the bustling crowds, the bargaining hawking, the brokers who facilitated transactions clashed with each other, and the merchants with gold and silver broke into the throne...

"It's all for profit."

Wu Qi thought to himself that these four words are always correct. He trained martial soldiers in Xihe. Didn’t those martial soldiers also seek profit? If there is no profit, how can he fight to the death?

There may be the case when Duke Qin was surrounded and 300 heroes fought to save him. Those who released the wild people who killed his horse and gave him wine because of Duke Qin's righteousness. But after all, this is a minority. If they want to rule the world, they should still benefit them.

Looking at the goods in the market that are far better than those in the Xihe River and Anyi, Wu Qi sighed even more, especially many vendors who do not have Xihe and who have already become accustomed to it, which has given Wu Qi a new understanding of the total wealth of the world.

People who sell vegetable oil, vegetables, wooden utensils, pottery, carts, hand hoes... Hawking sounds one after another, Wu Qi walked to an old man who sells vegetables.

The old man looked up and looked at Wu Qi, and also noticed the sword on Wu Qi's body and the sword on the guards beside him, but there was no panic on his face.

Twenty years ago, such a noble character appeared next to the common people. All the common people avoided panic, but here it was as ordinary as seeing rain in spring and thunder in summer.

Behind the vegetable farmer is a wheel ink car, which contains some dishes that Wu Qi had seen or had never seen before.

Carrots, sunflower, leeks, gourds...a bunch of them are tied together with hemp rope.

Wu Qi recognized carrots. The spies he sent to Pei County brought back many seeds. A few years ago, when Xihe was famine, it was this thing that was used to spend the desolate years with potatoes and sweet potatoes.

He picked up a string and asked, "The old man sells vegetables every year, how much does it cost?"

The old man was talking and replied: "No more or less, no more, and most of the food in his body and clothes will come out from now on."

Just this sentence surprised Wu Qi. It would be difficult for other cities to make a living by selling vegetables.

First, the city is not prosperous enough, and most of them are farmers, and all the families plant some vegetables in front of and behind the house.

Secondly, vegetables are unpalatable and can be bought without planting, so few vegetables are bought.

Wu Qi asked, "Does the old man have children in his family?"

The old man nodded and said that he had two men and one woman, and the woman was married. One of the two men was in Taoqiu Yishi, and the other was following the man to learn from the blacksmith.

If you ask carefully, it turns out that the old man is a local from Taoqiu. He made a living by renting farming many years ago. His family only has six or seven acres of land near the city walls. This was not enough to live, so he had to rely on renting to survive.

A few years ago, the owner who rented the land and took back the land and started to hire workers to operate the land and plant some crops that could make profits. The elderly left only six or seven acres of land near the city wall at home.

Fortunately, my son learned a lot of skills. Relying on the method of fertilizing fields taught by the Mo family, a lot of manure and silt was accumulated early. The six or seven acres of private fields became fertile soil, and they were close to the river to divert water and began to plant vegetables.

Just as things like vegetable oil, soybean, oil and iron pots were introduced to Taoqiu, the cooking of vegetables and vegetables had a new way of becoming an indispensable food on the dining table.

Also, because many people who have recovered the land in recent years have been unable to make a living, they have flocked to Taoqiu to work with others to help farm, and eating meat is expensive, so the owner buys more vegetables and cooks them.

The son used the land as collateral from the Mo family, borrowed money to buy iron tools, and bought a wheel ink car from a special craftsman association, and began his career in selling vegetables.

After a few years, the six or seven acres of land between the city walls that could not be lived had actually supported their family with all their strength.

When the old man said this, he sighed: "Now I wear clothes, cotton cloth, eat corn, and occasionally eat fish last time. People like us can buy some Mohist salt at a low price every year, and their lives are better than when I rented other people's land to farm."

"I heard that some of the best water irrigated land is now based on the method of composting the Mohist ridge. Two harvests a year, and two harvests can be collected 400 kilograms together. This is originally only ten acres of land can be recovered. Hey... Otherwise, the Mohist family would benefit the world, but they would really benefit the world."

"If it weren't for the Mo family, wouldn't I be starving to death now?"

Wu Qixin said, "This may not be necessary. You only see the goodness of the Mo family. If there were no Mo family, how could the land you rented be taken back?"

He had a clear insight and had already vaguely sensed the role played by the Mohist family behind these quiet changes, which was more profound than the old farmer. As he said, without the Mohist family's changes, the old man's land would not have been taken back.

But he didn't say it, and the old man was still muttering, "So my son was in the army and said he wanted to become a Mozhe, so I said let him do it..."

Just as he was muttering, a man came over to sell vegetables. The old man immediately laughed and obviously he was an old acquaintance with the man. After a few words, he bought a cart of vegetables.

The old man cheered up and reached out to take a few "bank notes" that were used in Taoqiu and Si Shang. Wu Qi looked at these notes and couldn't help but think of what he said just now: the relationship between gold and grain.

But what happened to this banknote? The Mo family's money has been used in Taoqiu, and the Taoqiu people actually used it. But if the Mo family is not here in the future, what are these banknotes?

If this is the case, once the Mo family is in trouble, wouldn’t the people who hold this banknote be fought to the death? After all, this is also beneficial to themselves.

The old man pushed up the ink cart and followed the man with a smile, wanting to deliver the dishes.

But in Wu Qi's eyes, if there is any trouble in Si in the future, he seemed to be able to see the old man carrying this squeaking small ink car with his thin arms, carrying military rations to the battlefield.

How can we fight and win if the human heart wants? This kind of person's will not only be what righteousness wants, but also what is beneficial. The Mohist methods are indeed brilliant.

He sighed secretly, thinking that these methods can be learned to use to reform and govern the country? What are these paper moneys?

After all, should I read more books from the Mohist school?

The Mohist family talked about the will of heaven all day long, and it was in line with the will of heaven. In this way, if all the Mohist family did was in line with the will of heaven, it was the reason why the Mohist family could govern Si Shang.

After all, it's still the origin.
