The disciple who was passing the message came from the city, and the city is now discussing the matter of the Rendi Alliance.

Mozi knew that only when there was a situation where there was a need to defend the city, the public would obey their opinions.

However, such a alliance involves the interests of many people. Even if you meet Mr. Song or Emperor Sicheng, it will not change the result.

He heard that Si Chenghuang was going to discuss the seeds, but he didn't know what the emperor's father Zang was going to do, but he knew that it was definitely not because of the interruption of the little noble's arm.

"What else did he say?"

"I didn't say anything else, I just asked the gentleman to see you, and I also said that I had said that the rice seeds were one grain at a time, and he deeply believed that such treasures could be exchanged for such gold, and I was willing to exchange gold for the grain."

Mo Zi thought about it for a while, and he thought that Si Chenghuang wanted to use these new rice to be favored by the Song people, but then he thought about it and it was not right.

These seeds are excellent and have high yields, but it will take at least ten years to spread all over the Song Dynasty.

If you want to be in the market, since you are in the position of the Sicheng and seize the power, you only need to make some changes to make the Song people remember it, so why bother to look far away?

He couldn't figure out why Sichenghuang wanted these seeds, and he spent a lot of money to buy them.

In theory, this kind of child is suitable for ownership and cannot be considered a salary for an official, and can be handed over or not.

He felt that it was better to ask Shi for his opinion on this matter, so he asked someone to call Shi.

After rushing over, Mozi briefly explained the situation.

When I heard this, I thought it would be better to exchange gold, but it would be better if I could exchange land.

The commodity economy of the Song Dynasty had developed in the Taoyi generation, and a large amount of private land could be bought and sold, which was different from the land system after the reform of the Qin State.

Although the Qin State reformed, it emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, and the commodity economy was not as developed as the Central Plains. Even after the reform, the land was still granted land. When Wang Jian destroyed the Chu, he asked the King of Qin to grant more land instead of buying more land by himself, which could also explain the problem.

Because the State of Song is located in the central government of various countries, its military power is not strong, but its economy is still quite developed. Taoyi is a place where merchants gather, and trading becomes a trend. Only with the atmosphere can there be some private land that can be bought and sold, especially the aristocrats have a large number.

Shi didn't know what Si Chenghuang bought it for, but after Mozi said that the other party was willing to pay a lot of money, I think people like Si Chenghuang would not lie to Mozi.

It is easy to do things if you have money, and public land cannot be bought or sold, but some private land is popular. At that time, Wu Qi's family was tired and had a wealth of money and a vast land, and finally sold it for the sake of studying.

When he thought about this, he couldn't help but smile.

When Mo Zi saw him smiling, he asked, "Do you want to sell it?"

"Yes, I want to sell some."

"I don't know what I want to do with this kind of person. In your hands, you can still do righteousness."

"Sir, selling some is for better conduct. Everything you do requires money. As an official, the Mohist needs to pay a portion of his salary to support those who cannot study to eat coarse rice to follow the teacher. Since the salary of an official can be used like this, why can't we make money by ourselves?"

Mozi knew that Shi had just become a Mo man, and the meaning of the Mo man I heard about before was also reposted by others, so he didn't understand some things.

But after saying that selling money is for better conduct of righteousness, a smile appeared on his face and explained: "Being a minister with others is to persuade the lord to do righteousness."

"So, have you heard that Duke Wen of Jin liked the clothes that scholars were not wearing, so Duke Wen of Jin wore furs sewn with ewe skins, hung swords around cowhides with loopholes, and hats made of broken silk to go to the court. Goujian liked warriors, so he set fire to the boats and beat drums to let the warriors board the boat. More than a hundred people were killed by the fire."

"Since the monarch likes what he likes, subordinates will do what he does. If these officials can persuade the monarch to like righteousness, then wouldn't the subordinates have a lot of righteousness? Compared with this, salary is like fish meat and fish bones. After all, we have to eat fish meat, but without fish bones, there will be no fish and no fish meat."

After hearing what Mozi said, I knew that this was an irreconcilable line difference between him and Mozi.

Qin Huali, Meng Sheng, Tian Xiangzi, and other giants are all loyal executors of this route. He does not agree with it, and history has proved that this route is not accessible with results.

However, if you cannot become a giant in one day, you cannot publicly oppose and correct this sentence, especially since he has just become a Mohist, it is even harder to refute it.

So he took this sentence and said, "Sir, has the Mozhe persuaded several kings to enfeoff the king and perform righteousness so far?"

When Mozi heard this, his face was a little dim, and when he thought of Shengchuo, he sighed.

Silence is better than sound, and speech is better than words.

Shi said again: "Sir, then do you think I am in this village and community? Is it considered a righteous act?"

Speaking of this, Mo Zi finally showed joy. He rarely praised his disciples, but once he caught his eye, he was not stingy when he praised them.

"What you do here is of course considered righteousness."

Shi bowed and said, "Sir, there is a man who thinks he can pick up a piece of gold when he walks, so he bows his head every day and walks around. Some people only have a hundred acres of land, and think that he can harvest twenty money every year when he works hard to plant it, so that his descendants will have a piece of gold after ten generations. Of course, gold may be picked up, but planting can also harvest. Shouldn't they do both?"

Mo Zi smiled and said, "This is the truth. You practice righteousness here, and you accumulate subtle meanings to create great righteousness."

Shi said, "But Xiaoyi also needs money to do it. Sir, I can gather everyone, not only because of the paradise, but also because of those cows. Just like these farmers, why do they have to serve as a sergeant? They are not scholars and will not receive any reward."

Mo Zi figured out the key points and pondered for a moment: "Because these lands are owned by the emperor, if you don't go to war, you will not only be punished, but also confiscated their land. The cattle are yours, so you can punish him by not allowing Sang Sheng to use the cattle, and he and the people in the village will not think this is wrong."

Shixin said, sir, you finally thought of the issue of ownership of means of production.

If you want to speak, you must have the means of production in your hands. The ownership of the land is nominally in the hands of the king. If the Mohist wants to develop, he can only monopolize part of the means of production that is not the land. Otherwise, no one will benefit, who will be willing to pay for it?

If you want to accomplish things, you must not be without idealists.

If you want to accomplish things, you cannot rely solely on idealists.

If it is just based on hope or speech, it will not last. It must be profitable. He can have such power in the village community, and a large part of it is thankful to Gongsun Ze for the two taels of gold that he lost to him.

Now Sichenghuang wants to exchange money for some seeds, but he doesn’t care about what to do. Not everyone can plant it, and it’s useless to buy it back.

However, the seller can benefit and dig up a larger pot of gold to expand his strength to do the remaining things, gather more and more people to join the Mozhe, and also give the Mozhe organization sufficient operating expenses.

When money appears as a general equivalent, when money can buy land, oxen and other materials, it is difficult to do anything without money, especially the things he wants to do.

When Mo Zi was still thinking, he took the opportunity to say, "Sir, when a group of people saw a rabbit walking, the group immediately scattered and chased and fought for it; and there were many rabbits in the market, unless the madman was mad. This is the truth that everyone knows."

"This principle can be relied on. Why do those bulls think it is the Mohist school, or mine? It is because people have accepted the principle of ownership, which is greater than many other principles.

"So they respect my opinion. In fact, some people only respect the cow, but it just happens that cow is mine."

"Sir, since we believe that what disciples do in the village and community is also practicing righteousness, then we can do more of this, accumulate weak righteousness and form a grand righteousness. Mr., have also heard the rumors about the paradise, if those things are in the hands of the king..."

Shi did not directly say the result, but smiled and said, "Just like the yield per mu of one stone, so ten mu of land has to pay a millet tax of one stone. If those crops that yield two stones and three stones per mu are planted, will the king still only collect one stone for ten mu of land?"

"If sir think it is OK, then I hope sir will give all these seeds to the monarch now, and I am willing to be a saphenous official."

Mozi laughed when he heard this, and didn't know what Shi said meant, and believed that what Shi said was true.

He has dealt with many monarchs, so how could he not know what kind of person the monarch is?

Shi said this and asked a question, and he also laughed as an answer.

After laughing, he said, "Since that's the case, I will follow me back to the city tomorrow and meet Sicheng Emperor with me, Shijiatong, and Qin Huali. Shijiatong was a businessman, proficient in nine digits, and knows how to bargain. I am not good at this kind of thing. After all, this kind of thing belongs to you, or Tang Han and Mr. Nasai. You still have to go. My Mo family is not greedy for such merit, so that the two of them will not be famous."

Although he agreed, Mo Zi said seriously: "But if the Sicheng Emperor wanted these seeds to do unjust things, not to mention a grain of gold, even if it is a hundred gold, it would not be sold. Back then, King Yue and I had a fiefdom of five hundred miles, and I said that if I didn't listen to my words and did not do righteousness, then I would have exchanged the fiefdom of five hundred miles in my heart. Why should I go to Yue Kingdom to sell it? Could it be that if I sold my fairness in Song Kingdom, I could not exchange it for fiefdom?"

When Yue Country has a large land and sparse population, and there are many lands and few people, the highest value is the population rather than the land.

The fiefdom of Yue State is just like the fiefdom of Song State.

Shi was very convinced that with Mozi's reputation, if he really sold his heart for a charity, his fiefdom of fiefdom could still be sold.

When he saw Mo Zi's approval, he was overjoyed.

He leaned on the Mo family's thigh and jumped from a son of a shoemaker to a person who could meet Si Chenghuang.

Although I may not be able to get into the conversation and have no right to decide, and as a representative of everyone in the name of the seed, "Mr. Sai and Tang Han", it is quite different from before I got to this thigh.

It’s not that he was servile to the powerful, but that he had to clarify the powerful ministers and situations within the Song Dynasty before the inevitable incident that the King of Chu surrounded Song and prepare in advance for future events.

However, there is another inconvenience. After hesitating for a while, he finally revealed the truth.

"Sir, the next day is fifteen, the moon is full. Those nearby who have heard the saying of the Paradise will come to meet. I have promised these hundreds of people that it is not good to break the trust. Can you delay the time back?"

Mo Ziqi said, "What are you going to say?"

"Sir, those people asked more than a month ago... Nuwa has a body, a craftsmanship, and she wants to know whether human beauty and ugliness, faces are destined by heaven? Or can it be explained by heaven? Why do people look like parents, but not exactly the same?"

"I want to talk about Nuwa and Fuxi's creation of human beings. This matter is very important. Hundreds of people are very concerned and asked dozens of times. If this matter is explained clearly, the theory of Tianzhi can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the village and community, and no one can shake it anymore. This matter cannot be explained clearly. The theory of Tianzhi can be used as a millet pan to stay in the wheat, but it cannot make people believe in the mystery of Tianzhi. You can know, learn, understand, and explain all things."
