Chapter 50: Each Takes Needed Lifei Gold (Part 2)
Shi has already made the truth very clear. In addition to the last bold statement about the sword of reward and punishment in the world, Mozi also understood Shi's meaning.
This is based on facts, but this fact happens in the future. Shi can learn from history, but Mo Zi cannot, so he can only listen to Shi's analysis.
After the Qin State reforms in later generations, the taxes were received up to one-fifth to one-third. If I were to concentrate on promoting the new farming method now, the Sicheng Emperor of Song State would definitely increase the tax revenue, and maybe I would even commit suicide and provoke various countries.
The State of Song had the heart to be a strong country, and his ancestors had a wealth of wealth. Back then, they really had a peaceful and stable capital.
Even before being divided up by Qi, Chu and Wei, Zeng Xiong had a period of time, attacking Liang and Wei in the northwest, taking the city of Qi in the east, and taking the land of Chu in the south. He was so arrogant that he felt that he was too powerful that he was invincible in the world, so he asked someone to put the blood of the three animals in a leather bag and shoot with a bow, which was called Shooting the Sky.
Of course, the result was also instantly crushed by various countries.
I don’t want these things to be used as wedding clothes for others, and they are also the clothes of the Song Kingdom that will die.
It is better to use the most inadequate tax licensing method to control a place first, because Mozi does not accept fiefdoms.
The village where he has authority is still too small to be the Mengchang Xue who is suitable for him, but he cannot be the Mengchang Xue who is the Mengchang Xue who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the
Later generations of Taishi passed by Xue Di. Mengchangjun had been dead for a long time, but there were many evil young men who were in the air of heroism.
I feel that if there is such a place, it is not difficult to make it all "troubled people". The Mohist is the pioneer, and a group of "troubled people" are disciples, there is great potential.
Mo Zi also felt that there was some truth to say. Four hundred Mo can defend a city, but not punish it. Mo Zi himself also felt that the theory of rewards and punishments of ghosts and gods was difficult to support, and he also wanted to try it or solve the rewards and punishments that he had pursued throughout his life but could not get.
The momen was excited about the idea of the right thing, and Mozi hesitated and agreed, so he came to see the Sicheng Emperor today.
At the banquet, after Si Chenghuang said a few words to Mozi, Mozi introduced his disciples who followed him.
Let’s talk about the city Jiatong first, and the emperor of Sicheng asked someone to give him wine and praised him.
"I have heard of this person for many merchants in Taoyi. I don't know who the other one is?"
"It is a newcomer, and that corn is passed down by this man's ancestor. This man's name is Shi."
Si Chenghuang also guessed Shi's identity. After asking, he asked someone to pour wine. Shi took the opportunity to talk about Zishen's neighbors back then, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
The wine was very light at this time, but the soul was his own, but the body was originally comfortable. It turned out that I rarely drink light wine, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I put it in my mouth.
Shixin said that with the current alcohol content of this wine, if I had my body in my previous life, I would never get drunk after drinking a jar. The wine is quite sweet, is this considered wine?
I complained a few words in my heart, and I was a little drunk and didn't dare to drink it anymore. I just poked the bowl of corn rice with a spoon, which was quite rude.
Seeing this, Emperor Sicheng laughed at him, but there was still a smile on his face, thinking that he was indeed polite to the common people.
After talking a few more words, Mozi finally asked, "I wonder what the purpose of Sicheng wants this grain?"
Emperor Sicheng was actually not willing to deal with Mo Zi. In his opinion, Mo Zi had too many people and asked him if he wanted to do righteous things.
But he also knew that Mozi was a Fiery Horse, and the things he believed could not be changed at all. He also knew that Mozi's methods and the abilities of the Mo family's disciples were not good enough to tell lies.
"I think I know the fact that the Three Jins invites the alliance. The Three Jins are powerful and unstoppable. King Chu is insatiable, and the number of people in Jing is surrounded by Song. If wars break out in the future, the people of Song will be affected by weapons. Song is weak and Chu and Jin are both strong. You must accept it and must not bribe it. I want to use grain as a ritual to bribe the Three Jins. If the people of Jing surround Song again, they will lead the Three Jins as a helper."
"Although grain is expensive, it is still worse than tens of thousands of Song people. Not to mention one gold, it is ten gold. As long as the Song Dynasty can avoid disaster, why can I bear to bear it?"
This is beautiful, and Emperor Sicheng thought Mo Zi would be speechless and could not refute it. Every sentence he said was Mo Zi's truth, but it seemed that he would be praised.
But Mo Zi said seriously: "Borrowing the Three Jins with materials as a helper is not a long-term method. Could it be that the King of Chu is insatiable, and Han, Zhao and Wei are not greedy? If you do not practice politics and govern the country, how can you last? If you can cultivate and clarify the laws and regulations on political reform, and the country is rich and the people are strong, the people of Song can defend the Song Dynasty, so why should you bribe the Three Jins?"
The Emperor of Sicheng said with a silence for a while, and finally said, "Your Majesty is so sick. I have no talent and the public clan has no talent, so I have to do this worst."
Mo Zi said frankly: "Is there no talent in the State of Song? In ancient times, the sage kings ruled and respected virtue and wise. Even those who were engaged in agriculture or handicrafts and business, they would select him, give him high titles, give him generous salaries, give him tasks, and give him power. Those who are officials will not always be rich and noble, and the people will not always be poor and humble. Those who are capable will use him, and those who are not capable will be dismissed."
"You are a city with a high position and power. Do you think this is a reward? If the title is not high, the people will not respect him; if the salary is not high, the people will not trust him; if the power is not great, the people will not be afraid of him. These three things are given to you, not to reward you, but to make you do things!"
Emperor Sicheng knew Mo Zi's temper and said yes, but he said in his heart: "Who dares to use you Mo? What a talent to Shengchuo? He has made such a big reputation under Xiang Ziniu. If you say he doesn't do righteousness, then recall it. If all righteousness is done, what else can I do in Sicheng?"
"I don't know that there are many talented people among you Mo people? But Mo people only know the great righteousness and only recognize you Mo Di. If you Mo people belong to me, how can I use it?"
I couldn't say what I thought in my heart, but said after calling it: "You have always known that Mr. Husband is a great talent..."
Mo Zi directly refused: "May you use my righteousness?"
Si Chenghuang pretended to be silent.
But I thought to myself, of course I know that if you don’t have the right to do it, you won’t be a doctor, otherwise I won’t talk to you. If you have any requests to you today, I will tell you for a while, which will be rare in the future. If you don’t want to see me, I don’t want to see you, just right.
I was anxious when I was watching next to me, thinking that I said to my husband yesterday, why did I suddenly say so impatient today? What you said is useless, how could Si Chenghuang listen? I saw that you are very smart on weekdays, and you also taught Gong Zaoye the meaning of saying people to speak lies when they see people, what's wrong today?
Unfortunately, he couldn't get in touch, so he could only be anxious.
At this time, Mozi said again: "If we Mo do not practice righteousness, we cannot be ministers and clerks. Being ministers and clerks is only for righteousness, not for salary."
The Emperor of Sicheng toasted again and said, "I admire what Mr. said very well. I don't believe what Mr. said, "Not to say it is me, but the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi, who doesn't believe it? What can I do if I don't use the words of Mr.? Even if I want to do my own righteousness, what can I do? Now that I give me some of the grains and bribe the three sects of Han, Zhao and Wei for the sake of etiquette, I can avoid the disaster of the Song people, which is what I can do."
Mo Zi seemed to hesitate for a moment and asked back: "If I give you that grain, can I really avoid the disaster of the Song people? Is there no movement of the soldiers within a few years?"
When Emperor Sicheng heard this, he felt that Mo Zi was already moved and hurriedly said, "This is natural. Using Jin as a helper to control Chu, the grain of rice can reach hundreds of chariots. So please give me some."
Mo Zi pondered for a while, as if he had been moved by Si Chenghuang.
When the Emperor of Sicheng thought Mozi was about to agree, he didn't expect Mozi to suddenly say, "Since this grain can be used to hundreds of chariots and can not move soldiers within three to five years, then you can reduce the tax for three years. I was famine the year before and I built the palace last year. Even if the emperor is not sure, you will always have your own fiefdom."
When Emperor Sicheng heard this, he cursed himself in his heart that he had been hit by Mo Zi's argument again. The words were already useless and said those high-sounding words, so he sighed: "Sir, I don't know that I have many guests and I don't have enough time to reduce the amount of money. If I don't have money, it will be difficult to gather talents. I am not a wise man like Mr., and those guests are not a person like Mo who only seeks salary for righteousness and do not seek salaries. I really cannot abide by Mr.'s methods."
Mo Zi said aloud, and the Emperor of Sicheng didn't care. Who would be the king who met Mo Zi like this? When it comes to the truth, the true form will be revealed.
After a while, Mo Zi sighed and said, "It's just that, this thing belongs to him, and he got it when he was not a Mo. If I ask you, this gold will eventually come out of taxes and taxes. In the end, it's our Mo who are unrighteous. If we regard righteousness as treasures, we cannot ask for this gold."
When Emperor Si Chenghuang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What sir said is very true."
Mo Zi seemed to be worried, sighed deeply, and sighed leisurely: "Is there any way to prevent you from reducing taxes and practicing righteousness?"
Emperor Sicheng also sighed and said, "The Book of Changes says that everyone gets their own things. This is the wisdom of King Wen. I am stupid and cannot think of a way to get their own things. If there is really such a way, I will definitely use it."
When Shi heard this, a sip of light wine in his mouth almost spewed out, and he said to himself: "Sir! You still said you can't bargain?"
