Chapter 46 Seduction
The essence is the most difficult to find.
Wu Qi saw the difference, but because he was controlled by the times, it was difficult to think clearly about the inner difference.
The only thing I thought in my mind was: "Adapt to local conditions. Qin is different from Si Shang. Although the Si Shang's policies are good, they cannot be used for Qin."
Keep this idea in mind, and think that as today's Warring States Period and in the chaotic times, one must be the same as the top and bottom in order to dominate.
But the Mohist family was so strange that it was a question of grain prices, which attracted everyone's discussion. In the eyes of the Mohist people, it was actually a good thing and did not hinder, so that everyone could express their ideas that were beneficial to them and form a clique.
This discussion of politics should be the business of the Shangqing. The people are ignorant and want to continue to discuss politics. Will there be no chaos in Si Shang? Did the Mohist school even understand this principle?
With this question in mind, Wu Qi brought the topic to the issue of grain prices and talked about the responsibilities of this representative of public opinion.
Shu Qingwang said: "There is nothing strange about this. Everyone needs to know their own interests in order to know what kind of world is in line with their own interests."
"That is, everyone knows how to seek profit, and the world can change. Everyone knows how to benefit, and the world can be cured. Nowadays, there are more people who do not know their own interests, and it is far from the time for great governance in the world."
"It is strange that our Mohist family has caused chaos in the world and people are interested in profiting... Isn't it a good thing for everyone to benefit? It's just that the system under today makes the nobles and nobles profit, but the people are not. So when they hear that the people want to benefit, they exclaimed that the world is about to be in chaos, which is really ridiculous."
King Shuqing thought about the things he learned in the village or county over the years and said it casually.
Wu Qi listened to these words that could cause sensation elsewhere casually, and looked at the words that were said here, and thought to himself: "In the past, Duke Zhou made rituals and passed on them for hundreds of years. There were no less than hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died of rituals. Now the "rituals" of the Mohist school have been completed, and there are no less than hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can die for them."
"It is said that profit is also true. The nobles who follow the Zhou rituals and gain profit; the people who follow the rules of the ink can benefit. If the two benefits are contrary, one will die, it depends on who is more willing to die."
"Let's see in the future...whose rules are passed down to the world?"
As the saying goes, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles.
Although Wu Qi's trip to Si Shang was less than a thousand miles away, his sights and hearings far exceeded the times, and the impact it brought can be imagined.
I said goodbye to this village community, and walked around and watched the customs of Si on the way.
After seeing it for too many times, he had to stop the car on a mission and asked in surprise what it was. But when he was about to arrive in Pengcheng, Wu Qi was no longer surprised, thinking that even if he saw something strange, he could accept it.
In Peiyi, he saw a hot cloth bag that could carry people in the sky. Even if it could fly in the nine heavens, what could be enough to cause shock?
Outside Pengcheng, a place covered with smoke and dust stands. It is the world at this time, and it can be said that the largest group of furnace and iron workshops in the world at this time.
Charcoal workshop, crushed ore workshop, cast iron farm tool casting workshop, cooked iron mixing furnace workshop, mold workshop, military workshop...
The entire Si Shang, Chu and the Yangtze River coast, and even the part of Qilu used iron, were produced from here, borrowing the benefits of water transportation, and the scale was growing.
Just by watching from a distance, Wu Qi estimated that with the people working in the mines, there were at least 20,000 people in this huge workshop group.
Water is spread all over the river, either for crushing ore or for drawing water.
Thousands of sails compete and river boats transporting coal and iron are traveling back and forth. I heard that people in Pengcheng City use less woodcutters and more charcoal, which consumes a huge amount every day.
On a critical road, there was also a wooden road. In Wu Qi's eyes, it looked like two side-by-side chopsticks. The wheels were stuck on two woods. The horses pulled them several times that could be pulled by the cargo on the flat ground.
Looking at Pengcheng from a distance, Wu Qi sighed with the people around him: "Dan, Si's wealth, all return to Pengcheng."
Danshui and Sishui meet here and flow down to the Huai River. They can also communicate the Yangtze River through Hangou. They are very close to the advantageous trend, and they are rich in coal and iron. They have a fertile soil and a vast terrain. The Yellow River has not changed its route. For more than ten years, the prosperity here has been no less than that of the Central Plains.
Even more than that, Taoqiu is prosperous, but it is mostly transported goods. In the end, ironware, glass, mirror, gunpowder and other items will eventually be purchased in Pengcheng and Peiyi.
Wu Xing said, "In the past, Yan Zi sent Chu to Chu and said that the people of Linzi were sweating profusely. In the past ten years of Pengcheng, Linzi was also in the glory of Linzi. The Mohist genius was indeed difficult for ordinary people to reach."
Wu Qi nodded and said, "Peng's land connects to the three rivers and is close to the five lakes, and it is also beneficial to coal and iron. Linzi can only use the benefits of fish and salt to become a big city in the world. Pengcheng will also be the capital of the world in the future. Just look at the workshop group, if you can manage this workshop, you will be a doctor and a town can be managed."
He knew that mining was the most difficult to manage. If he could manage the operation of a workshop group of more than 10,000 people or even more, it would be easier to be a doctor in the past.
But now, I am afraid that those who are in charge of this large workshop group may not be the highest-level figures of the Mohist school.
Seeing that the merchant ships carrying iron cargo left on the river channel, and the cargo ships filled with grain and cotton arrived, Wu Qi sighed.
I thought to myself, is it so prosperous that it is just the right place for Pengcheng? Or is there really ambition that requires understanding the origin to make the world govern?
Qinchuan is thousands of miles away, and Weiluo meets each other. One day, will the Qin land be as prosperous as this day. Will the people live in peace?
After sighing and feeling sad, I finally entered Pengcheng, bypassed the people who were traveling in the streets and were arranged to the museum.
The next morning, the Mo family came to the museum with a letter and made a direct invitation to invite these people to meet. They also said that they heard that Wu Qi, the guard of the West River of Wei, were also there, and they had heard that they had never seen each other before, so they happened to go together.
Wu Qi was not surprised. He knew that his whereabouts could not be hidden from the eyes of the Mo family. They all had obvious eyewitnesses in the giant city and city, and used the channels of merchants to communicate, and the speed of news spreading several times faster than that of the monarch.
Since his identity had been exposed, Wu Qi no longer concealed his wardrobe, put on his own clothes, paired with jade pendant and sword, and went together.
Inside a heavily guarded place in Pengcheng, I sat there waiting for Wu Qi and others to arrive.
When he came to this world, he had met many big names and had talked and laughed with the princes. He was just curious about Wu Qishi.
If twenty years ago, he would like to ask, there are two kinds of rumors in the world, some say that Wu Qi killed his wife to seek generals, and some say that Wu Qi divorced his wife and strictly a law. Which one is true?
However, twenty years ago, I was afraid that Wu Qi would not even look at him, and the two of them were not from the same class at all.
Twenty years have passed since the blink of an eye. This curiosity may still be in my mind, but it is unlikely that I will ask.
He and Wu Qi have never met each other, but they both know their names, which can be considered as having a long history of friendship.
There is no doubt about Wu Qi's talent. However, the cornerstone of the Mohist school is rules and discipline, which is not suitable for the talent of being a general and a prime minister. Therefore, the Mohist school has no intention of attracting Wu Qi, the best in the world, to be the best in the world.
This time the negotiations with the Qin people were hosted by Shi, but the content had been agreed on before.
After Wu Qi and others came in, both parties greeted each other, and each praised each other's reputation and began to talk about the important matters.
The main business is naturally Qin Xiaoyi north of Nanzheng, exchanged for negotiations with the support of the Mohist iron smelting technology. This matter is entirely presided over by those rebels, and this is appropriate, and both sides are inevitably embarrassed.
It was Shi who took advantage of Shengchuo's incident that he reorganized the Mo family with Mozi and expelled these people. In the end, Mozi's death was not allowed to mourn them with his disciples' dress.
These people were Mo people who followed Mo Zi for many years, but Shi had just joined the Mo family for several months. As time went by, Shi is now the second-ranked figure of the Mo family, and these rebel Mo have also gained a firm foothold in Qin.
After the personal grudges and hatred of the past were resolved with a hint of embarrassment, they had to discuss transactions based on their own interests.
He was not in a hurry and looked at Wu Qi with a smile and said, "I have heard of the great name of the Lord for a long time. Today I will be highly valued by Qin Jun. I just don't know, from the Lord, what is the way out for Qin?"
Wu Qi was stunned, and asked again: "Your Majesty trains the military soldiers in Xihe. Since the military soldiers are completed, even if you leave Xihe, the military soldiers system is still there. I am afraid that the Xihe River will be difficult to capture, right?"
Wu Qi nodded, and said with some confidence and emotion: "The strength of the Wushu is far from what the Qin army can do today. The Xihe River has the danger of mountains and rivers and the solidity of the Junhan. If it is easily captured, it will damage morale."
This is not just Wu Qi's confidence in the Wu Zu he cultivated, but the changes in Qin territory involved many issues.
If you want to change, you must have military power and prestige. Now at the beginning of the change, you cannot defeat the war. You can only rely on victory to win over the hearts of those who have given land and suppress the nobles.
Wu Qi knew this very well.
It is precisely because of this topic that Qin State had no ability to retake Xihe for at least ten years.
Ten years were not too long, and the Mo family prepared for twenty years in Si before they could barely rise up with the princes of the world.
However, the Mohist family waited for twenty years because they were only a teenager twenty years ago, so he could afford it.
But what about Wu Qi? He was already sixty years old when Wei and Qin were destroyed, and he couldn't wait for ten years.
Shi didn't know much about Wu Qi. Gong Zaoye had dated when he was young, but he was not a close friend. So Shi didn't know what Wu Qi wanted, and the only direction he could tempt was the four words "making achievements".
He only mentioned Xihe, and the implication was that Nan Zheng. Qin wanted to develop and compete for power, but now it seemed that there were only two ways to go.
One is to regain the Xihe River and threaten the Central Plains. The other is to get Nan Zheng to enter Bashu and continue to have power.
The Mohist family was active in Bashu more than ten years ago, and now they have obtained Nan Zheng. Even if they don’t say it clearly, there are the battle examples of the Mohist family in recent years and the mountains and rivers are separated by them. It is no less difficult to capture Nan Zheng than to regain the Xihe now.
Especially in the past few days, Wu Qi saw the Si Shang area where the Mo family ruled, and knew that once the Mo family took root, it would be like weeds and could not be eradicated. Even if they tried their best to get more Nanzheng, it would probably be more harmful than good.
For a person who is eager to make achievements and spread to the world but can only live for more than ten years, the "Qin's way out" I just asked is a serious problem.
The road to Xihe was his own legacy in Wei State, and he was blocked. The road to Nanzheng was blocked by the Mo family, and it involved transactions of iron smelting.
