Chapter 76 The New King

Meng Sheng said it easily, but Xu Ruo couldn't let it go. This was ultimately related to the lives of thousands of people.

He looked at Meng Sheng again and said solemnly: "Since the name is justified, what is the name? Our righteousness, our benevolence, and our world are fundamentally different from the old benevolence and righteousness. Do we have to respect our original name?"

Meng Sheng likes passionate young people like Xu Ruo very much, as if he could see himself when he was young. If he was young, facing such a situation, he would be afraid that he would be the same as Xu Ruo thought.

But now it's different.

Xu Ruo asked again: "What are you worried about?"

Meng Sheng whispered: "I am worried that the people will shed more blood. If this uprising is successful, the people may choose to only demand their own profits and cannot care about things a hundred miles away from the capital. At least most people will do this. However, if people from a hundred miles away are not mobilized, they can also benefit. The benefits obtained by the people in the capital will eventually be taken away by the nobles and will eventually fail... If we had not intervened, the king could treason, would the nobles not lead the soldiers of Wei and Qi to slaughter the people of their country?"

Xu Ruo clapped his hands and said, "That's the reason, so we should come forward now and guide the public to explain the truth clearly. Do you have to wait until the public knows that they are wrong and regret it before we intervene?"

Meng Sheng nodded and said, "It's true that there is no regret medicine in this world. But Feiguo is too close to the Mo family in Si Shang, so there can be regret medicine."

"Feiguo is too small, and the world is too big. You have also watched the drama performed in Pengcheng, Sishang, and you always have to perform it in a rehearsal before you can perform it. Feiguo... just treat it as a preview of the world's drama, so that the people know who they should believe, what they should do, what they should be wary of, and who they should be executed... Troubled times are the stage, and the people of the world are actors."

Xu Ruo sighed: "Then we can only watch? Let's regret it when we see the people choose a path of myopia?"

Meng Sheng waved his hand and said, "It was the people of Fei who chose a path of myopia. People in the world will not regret it in the future. The road... is still long. What we need to do now is not to watch, but to make some reasonable suggestions. For example, the security in the city, the price of grain in the city, the distribution of land, and the formulation of tax rates... As for whether the people of the capital will abandon their best allies... the farmers above the aristocratic fiefs... that was decided by the people of Fei."

"Si Shang is very strong to Fei's country, so you can take it slowly. Si Shang is not strong to the world, so you have to plan ahead. The one who plans is not Fei's country, but the people of the world know what to do when they face such a choice."

Xu Ruo pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "So, you convinced me. I hope this time is not a wrong judgment."

Meng Sheng nodded and understood in his heart that under the internal system of the Mohist school, if the judgment of this matter is wrong and the situation in Feiguo is unfavorable, someone will always come out to take the blame and take the responsibility.

The Qiwuhao and the Juzi are collective resolutions, representing the will of the Mohist school, so the Mohist school cannot make mistakes, and only individuals can make mistakes.

The situation in Si Shang was dominated by Shi, and it convinced everyone and received support from everyone. Once something went wrong, Shi might completely stay away from the position of Giant Zi. So far, Shi's judgments are basically correct. The Mo family has a trust in him that is second only to Mo Zi during his lifetime, and this trust always needs to be maintained.

Meng Sheng received much more information than Xu Lue. He knew that Shi was dancing on the tip of a knife. While fighting for a bigger situation for the Mohist school, he was also delaying the time to become an enemy of the world. Once this balance is not well mastered, it may be that both of them will be lost.

As a senior executive of the Mohist school, he expected that the right judgment would be correct, so he could tell Xu Ruo the truth with a smile, but he was also worried.

After all, the affairs of Fei State are not the affairs of Fei State, but the affairs of the Central Plains.

In the end, the uprising of Fei State turned into a preview and experience of the world, and the Mohist family could completely control the countries on Si Shang; or was the uprising of Fei State eventually a tragedy, and Wei Qi and other countries did not interfere in accordance with the situation that was arranged in advance and drag the Mohist family into the quagmire of troubled times in advance?

This is unknown, and can only be judged by the art of reasoning, which is dangerous and dangerous.

Before Mozi passed away, his expectations for the Mo family were divided into two places, one was the Tianzhi and the other was the Mo family's rules and systems.

Whether it is the trust that has always judged the correctness of the correctness or the persuasion one by one before the synonym, there is no problem with the rules in the procedural world. Then, even if someone opposes it, once it is decided, it must follow this method, even if it is failure as a price.

The temporary victory and failure are not worth mentioning compared to the rules and procedures that Mozi believes can be used to survive forever.

…………

All rules are set by people, so they can always be changed when necessary.

The chaos in Fei Country, after Ji Sunluan stood up and said that support the people, actually turned into a chaos in changing the rules.

Victory in the capital is inevitable, which is the remnant left by the clan era and the system of the people discussing politics, the difference between the country and the country and the people's service.

Unlike scattered villages and communities, the people in the capital can be effectively organized. In the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period, the king had to allow the people to organize themselves to maintain their own military strength.

Under this kind of self-organization, for the monarch of small countries with city and fief structure, the backlash is powerful enough. The Chinese people can decide to a certain extent whether the monarch can hold a firm seat. However, the former master of the lord was an open noble, and this time it was a hidden Mohist school.

The difference in the people standing behind it determines the differences in the rules. What changed in the past was the monarch, not the rules.

This time, it seemed that it only changed the monarch as before, but in fact it changed the rules.

Ji Sunluan, who had never been hidden, finally appeared under the protection of the "guard" after being occupied by Zhe Yangzi and his soldiers in the palace.

The first thing that happened was to reiterate Wei Rang's words when the people gathered.

He had no choice. If he went back on his word, the people who were still excited were likely to drive him away - everything was different from before. Now some people think that people are equal to their old age, young and old, and some even learned from the Mohist school a series of systems of monarchs without "bloodiness".

If the people had no choice in the past, Ji Sunluan might have been able to abandon Wei Rang. But now, the people have another choice, so Wei Rang has become what Ji Sunluan believes to be a "favorite friend".

Now, he is already the monarch of Fei State, as long as he is willing.

However, the king of Fei State could nominally manage the size of the capital. In the past, Fei State had four realms in terms of rules and etiquette, but now Ji Sunluan only has thirty miles of the capital.

Whether the coup can be firmly held as the monarch is just the prelude, and it is far from the time to really decide.

Many things need to be dealt with.

What should those captured nobles do?

What should those doctors far away in the fiefdom do?

Can the system of granting farmers to public fields in Feiguo's capital be implemented outside the capital?

What if the nobles disagree and rise up and resist?

What kind of military system should be implemented?

How to collect taxes?

How to select officials?

How to pay the salaries of officials?

How to maintain it?

How to make the method?

All of these things seem to require the monarch to consider, but at this moment, nothing has to do with Ji Sunluan.

The people have elected their own wise men. The people need to consider the formulation of the system themselves. The people do not even need a monarch, but out of past habits and the need for someone who can explain the situation to various countries.

Ji Sunluan felt that his king was like a tablet.

If a pig has the blood of a male tribe, I am afraid that this pig can also be regarded as the king.

This may not be tolerated by those who truly want to be the king.

But for Ji Sunluan, he betrayed the nobles, the princes, and the old rules. The "sages" of the old era could not be used by him.

These "sages" in the new era are either passionate and energetic, or are determined to be extraordinary in strength, and no one is willing to let the king truly take power.

After experiencing so much, Ji Sunluan has already felt that Wei Rang's role in these things is not important.

What’s important is that the two people are still friends on the surface, and the income from the redemption of public land is still from Ji Sunluan. What industries will be available in the future? Ji Sunluan can still invest with a large amount of income and the status of the king. This is the most important thing.

Ji Sunluan is not a wise young man, but he is not a fool.

Judging from the performance of Tian Wei Rang, if Wei Rang really wants to be the king, he can support the common politics of the people. Moreover, what he said in front of the people that day was enough to make Wei Rang impossible to learn the process of being a wise minister first and then abdicating, and that would be unnecessary.

So Ji Sunluan quickly figured out his situation: the policy was agreed upon by the people, and the rulers were actually elected wise men.

What you have to do is to say, stamp, collect money, and run your own industry, consider how to spend the redemption fee for the public land you collected, and what to do if something is wrong when you run to Sishang...

So the first thing he thought after finally showing up was that once he stabilized, he would invest the income he had obtained from public fields to the gold shop on Si, or exchange it for Mohist banknotes to prepare for the future.

"If it doesn't work, I'll run away. Maybe they won't allow me to escape, they insist on letting me be here, but prepare in advance and run away if the wind is not good, or if you give way to the wise, you can leave."

"The income money cannot be invested in the workshop industry in Feiguo, as it is not stable here. It is best to invest all the money in Si Shang. If you can invest in some industries in Si Shang, it is best. If it doesn't work, be a rich man, which is the same as before and even better."
