Zhao Hou hurriedly explained: "Do you think I'm angry because of these profits? No."

"Have you ever seen a river breaking the dam? When autumn water pours in, if there is a gap like an ant cave on the dam on both sides of the river, then the gap will expand as the river water washes, and eventually lead to a break."

"Now, these demands from the people are just profits, but this is like an ant cave on a river bank, which looks very small. However, over time, it will grow bigger and bigger until the dam breaks."

"What I'm angry about is the possible consequences of this cave on the river bank. Do you think I'm just angry at that little ant cave?"

Gong Zhonglian sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the times have changed."

"The people all seek profit, know how to seek profit, and dare to seek profit. The river embankment in the hearts of the people has been dug, but it is just a small ant cave in terms of its performance outside of the heart."

"You can't stop it anymore."

"In the past, Gun controlled the flood, blocked but did not spread, so that the rivers destroyed and overflowed, and the world suffered from its harm. Yao ordered the fire to be killed by Zhurong in Yushan."

"His son Dayu is worse than a shun. After twenty years of hard work, he was elected as the emperor. Emperor Shun gave way to Dayu, and then passed on the Qi period and made a foundation for the thousand-year Xia."

"What you want to block now is the desire of the people in the world to seek profit. Is this possible? I just finished telling you that there are four ways to do the best in the world. Do you have to choose the best way?"

"I have already advised you. You cannot achieve synonyms between the top and the bottom, and the top and the bottom are profitable. So please do transactions between the top and the bottom, and seek the best of the top, so that you can maintain the foundation of Zhao's family!"

"The times have changed... Master, look at the world, it is no longer the past. If you still can't understand, how can I feel at ease even if I die?"

The letters Gong Zhonglian saw included the requirements of both farmers, the requirements of hundreds of labourers, and the requirements of merchants.

In addition to these actual material interests, there are also some political demands. Because of the public opinion controlled and incited by the Mohist work, the time is well grasped and hidden very deeply. It may not seem that it cannot be agreed, but there is a trap hidden behind it - as Zhao Hou said, it is the ant cave on the river bank, which seems very small, but will expand in the future.

The farmers demanded land, all workers demanded equal rights and reduced taxes, and merchants demanded profits. All of these were actual material interests.

People of all labour are willing to provide enough armor, weapons, and equipment, but they need to buy it with money. They firmly oppose the direct collection of excess military taxes without the consent of the people.

The merchants were willing to provide enough money to support Gongzizhang to the top, but the money would not be given directly to Gongzizhang, but instead traded through the Mo family as an intermediary, with the Mo family as a guarantee.

What the Mohist school requires is the monopoly management rights of grassland trade north of Gaoliu in the future. The interest provided by merchants in this part of the money can be used as shares that monopoly management and trading in the northern grasslands in the future.

Everyone is taking advantage of the situation to rob. From the Mo family to the merchants, to the workers and peasants, all of them have begun to organize "taking advantage of the situation to rob" under the organization of the Mo family.

Mr. Zhao was angry, but once he woke up, he knew his current situation very well.

Without food, money, armor and weapons, it will be difficult to win this battle for the throne.

The army is no longer the past, no longer hundreds of sergeants and corporals, who bring their own chariots and slaughtermen to the battle. The victory or defeat of the chariots determines the victory or defeat of the battle. It is not like the Battle of Chengpu and Liangtang, which can determine the victory or defeat of one of the three armies by putting dozens of elite chariots into battle.

The intensity and scale of the war have increased much more than a hundred years ago.

The emergence of gunpowder, stirrups and disciplined military formations led to the rise of infantry composed of civilians, stirrups composed of wealthy self-cultivated farmers raised up to replace chariots, and artillery replaced archers.

As before, we have brought together a team of tens of thousands of people, and with hundreds of chariots and thousands of elite scholars, we want to dominate the outcome of the battle... The Battle of Hanshui, the Battle of Daliang, and the Battle of Aidu, have given shocking answers.

Food, money, weapons, armor, all of which become indispensable to the increasingly fierce and cruel war, and it can even determine the outcome.

Therefore, the people can persuade the Mo family to "take advantage of the situation and robbery."

The Mohist family's robbery has a tougher background and background:

There was no Mo family in Handan City. Zhao Hou dared not bet whether he could defend the siege of Ximen Bao and Zhao nobles in the joint army.

Gaoliu guards against the northern Yishi of the Mohist country who were in the even more backward Hu people in the grassland. If they could join the dispute between the princes of Zhao, they could quickly control Dai County, attack cities and capture villages, and dismantle the forces that rebel against the nobles of Zhao.

With these two confidences, Hu Feizi could sit high in Handan, let the middle son go there five times in a row, and finally forced him to agree to the Mo family's conditions before agreeing to help defend the city.

Now, Gao Liu's soldiers... belong to Zhao State in name, but under the Mo family's military system, if the Mo family members do not nod, Gao Liu's soldiers will not go south. Zhao Hou is very clear about this. In terms of reason, it is not the Mo family. In terms of control of the army, the representatives, committee members, etc. that the Mo family infiltrated the army, even if Gao Liu's general Qu, the Gao Liu's soldiers, Zhao Hou could not be transferred.

Just because he could not be transferred, the Zhao Hou did not have much complaints. Under the feudal system, the land that Zhao Hou could control seemed to be the entire Zhao State, and in fact, it was the directly under the jurisdiction of Jinyang, Handan, Zhongmu and other cities.

Not only Gao Liu can't move, but the same is true for others. Otherwise, why would the young master rebel?

What Zhao Hou is thinking now is that once he agrees to these things, he will break the rules.

The Mohist family has the rules of the Mohist family. For example, the princes today have the current rules, and these two rules are completely different.

It is the Mohist rule that it is necessary to repay the food and horses from the people.

It is not necessary to take away the food and horses from the people. This is the rule of the princes today.

Once this rule is broken, will it have any unpredictable consequences in the future? Will it expand rapidly like a dam collapse, from a demand for material interests to a political demand?

It was not that Gong Zhonglian didn’t understand Zhao Hou’s worries, but he had his own considerations, so he said again: “Your Majesty, I said, “There is no longer a person and a person who is far away from the enemy and attacks near and far away. This is a policy that you need to change constantly. I thought you understand now, but you don’t seem to understand now.”

"You cannot use the meaning of the Mo family, which will cause trouble to the world and make the world rude and reform the rules."

"You must be careful of the soldiers of Wei and Han. Once the young master goes to power, he will be able to seize Handan and bribe Wei, and you can only choose to escape."

"Now, are you worried about the chaos of the Mo family's righteousness in twenty years? Or should you worry about the soldiers of Wei and Han who supported the Gongzi Chao and expelled you?"

"Now that the morality of the Mo family is spread throughout the world, and the Emperor of Zhou has not yet spoken out against it. Do you want to be the first person in the world to oppose it? If you object, Wei Ji may immediately express his support, and the King of Chu will drink and celebrate that day. Do you think the Mo family is still the Mo family that only served a thousand people back then?"

"The times have changed now. You still use the strategy of Jinyang to defend Handan, which is impossible. You also need to use the etiquette of King Zhou Gong to conquer the world, which is not true!"

"I tell you again and again that if you want to merge the world, you must be the king of Zhao people, not the king of Zhao."

"You know, why did I get the news before that I didn't care about Wei Han sending troops; I didn't care about Zhongshan's rebellion against Wei; I didn't care about the young master's uprising? Why did I drag my sick body to persuade you today? "

Zhao Hou shook his head and said, "I thought you felt like Jinyang back then. Even though it seemed that the army was in danger and was in danger, the clouds would eventually disappear..."

Gong Zhonglian smiled and shook his head, "Not."

"When I heard the news that the young master raised an army and Wei Han sent troops, what I thought was that the Emperor of Heaven would protect the Zhao family, and the State of Zhao would rise in your hands!"

Zhao Hou thought for a while and said, "What you are talking about is the "Fourth Year of Zhaogong"? As the saying goes, the difficulty of neighboring countries cannot be aroused. It may be difficult to consolidate their country and open their territory; it may be difficult to lose their country and lose their guardians."

"So, how difficult is it to make a country prosperous?"

Gong Zhong Lian said happily: "Your wisdom means that it is difficult to make a country prosperous."

"The prince's rebellion, and most nobles belong to the prince's court. The fiefs of these nobles belong to the State of Zhao, but can you take jurisdiction?"

Zhao Hou shook his head, and Gong Zhonglian said again: "But if you defeat them, you will send people like Ximen Bao from Wei Ye and Wu Qi from Xihe as officials to govern as officials. You will give them money as salary, let them carry out your will, collect the taxes there and hand them over to the treasury of the capital. Then, you can take charge of the land there."

"What you have now is Handan, Zhongmu, Jinyang and other places. However, once the rebellion of the Prince's Dynasty subsides, you will have the entire Taihang danger and the harsh harem of Dai County. At that time, the soldiers, grain, taxes and cloth you can collect will be ten or a hundred times more than now."

"If you are centralized to the king, there will be changes."

"The reform of Li Ju of Wei was the wisdom of Wenhou. Wu Qi, Tian Zifang, Duan Ganmu, Ximen Bao, and Beimen Ke's virtuousness were just like a star flashing before it was implemented."

"Qin Shengchuo changed and invited Wu to occupy the Xihe River to enter Qin. The nobles were uneasy and chaos in Qin was imminent."

"The King of Chu reformed the law, and asked the Mo to train a new army, the city of Yanying, and even Qu Yijiu defected, and the prince decided to obtain seven more cities..."

"It seems that Qin and Chu are both weak, but once the reform is completed, they will have the power that is no less than that of Wei, Wenhou. Therefore, in the past, it was said that the difficulties of neighboring countries cannot be aware of. It may be difficult to consolidate their country and open their territory; it may be difficult to lose their country and their guardians."

"This is exactly how difficult it is to make a country."

"Now, Zhao seems to have internal and external troubles, but these internal and external troubles are concentrated in one place. As long as they are handled properly, it will be the time for Zhao's reforms!"

"At that time, you have military power, weaken the nobles of the young masters and take back their fiefs. What can you stop you?"

"If the law is not changed, the foundation of Zhao's family cannot be protected. You think Qin and Chu are in chaos, but they are in reform after the chaos. Once they succeed, why should Zhao compete with them for the world?"

"Now, many nobles have opposed you. You are not yet regarded as the protector of the common people at this time. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for those ambitious people, and those who are good at inciting the Mohist family to be the protector of the common people?"

"Now, it is the time when you rely on Handan, Zhongmu, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce to fight against nobles and old clans. You want to be the king of Zhao people, not the marquis of Zhao."

"The land is distributed to the people, and the people pay taxes to the state. Who belongs to the state? Isn't it yours?"

"You are now using the heart of a monarch to be the king of a country. The monarch cares about the people on his fiefdom giving money to him or a state, but why do you still consider this as a monarch? You are the country! The country is you! Can you be the monarch to be the monarch to be the monarch to be the monarch? "

"Now there is a chance to be the king of Zhao, but you choose to be the monarch of Handan. It's like someone gives you a piece of gold and a stone, and you choose a stone. You can't be a good monarch yet."
