Chapter 92: The Divergence of Mo Dao
Deng Xizi's learning is known for his good at finding loopholes. The words of the lawyer with Zhengdi accent also control the rationality of the law everywhere, and there is nothing to refute.
Not far from the audience, Meng Sheng, Xu Ruo and other Mo family figures knelt on the ground, some praised, some pondered their heads and gritted their teeth.
Xu Ruo's lips kept twitching, and he was muttering and cursing something secretly. Meng Sheng, who was beside him, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Ruo's shoulder gently, signaling him not to speak.
Xu Ruo did not disagree with the words of the Zheng Guo accent lawyer, and also agreed with the truth in these words, but when did he think it was time? Still discussing these things?
The "national" government of Fei State has been established for more than a month, but these people have been arguing all day long and have no idea what the current top priority is.
The nobles are obviously delaying the time now, and they explicitly say that the nobles of each fiefdom can come to the capital for discussion, and they also say that the wise men should be elected according to the land division, so that they can become wise men to discuss politics together.
But in fact, judging from the news from all sides, the nobles were delaying their time to prepare for force, and some nobles even visited countries such as Qilu.
The land, tax rates, and labor issues that the people are most concerned about are unresolved.
But these wise people are arguing all day long whether the highest grain price should be restricted, whether the nobles can be elected as wise men to discuss politics together, and whether the policy of the capital of Feiguo can be promoted to fiefdoms outside the capital...
Even today, for a profiteering businessman who stocks up goods, wise people have to discuss whether it is a crime.
Xu Ruo felt that the part where he gritted his teeth was not the behavior of this profiteer. In fact, he had been in the Mo family for many years and supported the judgment that this profiteer had "not guilty".
But he felt that the action and organizational ability of these "sages" were really far from those of the comrades in the Mohist school.
What to do at this time?
What we need to do at this time is to immediately organize the people in the capital, and after completing the harvest, we will use the people's hearts to directly send troops to the nobles' fiefdoms, and forcibly promote the policy of granting land to the people's installment redemption policy.
If you disagree, it means you violate the laws of the Kingdom of Fei, you will take back the fief and expel it.
If you agree, then implement it quickly and start selecting some talents who are familiar with the nine-digit and the field, and prepare for the best teaching of the field.
The ox and horses and seeds in spring plowing; the transaction and transportation of salt goods; the formation of the army and the construction of city walls... These are the top priority at this time.
But now we are arguing day by day, and these top priorities are basically nothing.
Many people still have fantasies that as long as they do not touch the interests of the noble fiefs, their changes in the capital will not be questioned or opposed by the nobles.
At that time, it is actually equivalent to the execution of a law in the capital of Fei Kingdom, and the fiefs outside the capital still implement the Wellfield Etiquette system.
Xu Ruo thought to you, you gave notes, preaching, reasoning, and preaching to the nobles... But did the nobles tell you when they asked you to serve labor and farm the public fields?
Some people who only have fields near the capital are thinking about these things around them, and only think that now Gongziluan has admitted that the palace and public fields are divided into him, so those people outside the capital have nothing to do with him.
