It’s not that there are no good nobles, but nobles also have to eat and drink, obey rituals, and have a noble lifestyle. Where does these expenses come from?

Of course, I can only rely on the people on the fiefdom.

Iron oxen plowing is not needed here, and the unit output is too small. If the nobles want to maintain their lives, they must obtain labor rent as much as possible.

The more polite aristocrats are, the more fierce this kind of exploitation is, because observing polite means not wanting to rebel, and not wanting to rebel means there is no need to win people's hearts, and there is no desire to change on their fiefdoms.

The great nobles may have made some changes in their fiefdoms, allocated land, and made the people loyal, so that they had 8,000 private soldiers like Ji Sun's family back then. This change was not for the benefit of the world, but for the purpose of gaining more power and fiefdoms, and used their basic "benevolent government" to maintain their power, and the deficits were made up for the increased land.

Because the productivity is not developed enough, the combined physical tax and labor land rent can maintain the aristocratic life of ordinary little aristocrats.

Sun Pu is not the kind of person who doesn’t know how miserable the world is. If you see it too much, you won’t be moved. This is the norm in the world.

After hearing the complaints from everyone, he just sighed and said to himself: "This is a good start. Finally, he began to talk about his own suffering."

After everyone talked a lot, Sun Pu said: "A man must live. He must have clothes to wear and food to eat."

"People have one mouth, so it's not like a nobleman who has ten mouths, right? He has just one mouth, but he has more than 10,000 acres of land. Is this reasonable?"

"The Wei people sang, "Don't crops or flies, and you can take three hundred grains and eat them? Why do you think this is?"

Asked, it is actually difficult to answer.

But this issue itself is what everyone in the village is concerned about.

The same problem is different for different meanings.

At this time, the theory of "Destiny" is very popular, and there are many sayings in the world. The so-called "If you are rich, you will be rich, if you are poor, you will be poor; if you are numerous, you will be numerous, if you are few, you will be few; if you are governed, you will be governed, if you are chaotic, you will be chaotic; if you are alive, you will be young, if you are young, you will be young."

This is what the Mohist school strongly refuted in "Farelessness", believing that one's own destiny can only be controlled by one's own control.

But the Mo family's righteousness is the vulgarity of the world's righteousness, and there are not many people who believe in it outside Si Shang and some big cities.

Because the logic is too difficult, life is the best explanation for "rich and poor, noble and humble", and it is also the favorite of the nobles.

Sure enough, Sun Pu quickly heard his expected answer.

Someone sighed, "This is all fate."

"As for the sake of the nobles, they have good ancestors, and they can be found in the territory after the war with the ancestors. Our lives are not good. Without good ancestors, we do not have these lands, we cannot be noble, but can only be low."

Sun Pu smiled and shook his head, asking, "Even if that's the case, then why should I seal the land?"

The farmer said: "The world belongs to the emperor and the prince. No matter how you divide other people's things, you can do it."

Sun Pu looked at others, and others nodded. Sun Pu asked again: "Then why is the land in the world belonging to the emperor and the prince?"

Once you start asking too many reasons, something can easily happen.

Many people think that this question is like someone asking why the sun rises from the east. Is this a problem?

This is the rule of the world. It’s like people need to eat and drink water while living, there is no reason.

But when I think about it again, I feel that I really should think about why. Yes, why is the land in the world belonging to the emperors, princes and princes?

Even though the village community was blocked, everyone knew about King Wu's attack on Zhou, so someone said, "King King Wu defeated Zhou, so the land of the world returned to Zhou."

Sun Pu laughed and said, "This is interesting. Who did the land before the Shang Dynasty belong to? Who did the land in the world belong to before Yuxia? Who did the land in the world belong to Shennong and Taihao belong to?"

"Did the emperor always have it? Is there a person who has always owned the land in the world?"

Asked in one sentence, only the sound of the bonfire was left, and no one answered it. Many people were bowing their heads and thinking about this very difficult question.

If the land does not belong to a certain emperor from the beginning, then from whom will the first emperor who has the destiny inherit the ownership of the land in the world inherited by the destiny?

Everything has its beginning.

If there was no emperor who owned the world in ancient times, then...

Many people think of this and can't help but tremble, and dare not continue to think about it.

Because if you think about it, I am afraid that you can only think of one possibility: the first emperor snatched the land from the people of the world... Because before King Wu defeated Zhou, the Shang Dynasty had the world, and before the Shang Dynasty, Yu Xia had the world, what about Yu Xia? Then before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?

Did the first emperor inherit the ownership of the land in the world from his hands? If it were the people, did they have the consent of the people? What would be the things that were taken away by disagreement? If you ask the world, who can agree to give his land to the emperor?

Don’t talk about Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, even God Haotian, I’m afraid everyone will not agree.

Could it be...Is the first emperor the biggest robber in the world?

The simple question attracted terrifying thoughts. Many people were so scared that they shook their whole body and shook their heads and did not dare to follow this idea to continue thinking.

The emperor is a robber? How dare you continue to think about it? This is simply a thought that the world is inverted, how is it possible?

But it seems that there is no other reason to explain except this explanation.

Sun Pu added another fire and asked, "Now, a robber has robbed someone else's pearls and jade. Another person said that this was a robber, so he killed the robber and left the pearls and jades for himself. So can this person be called benevolence and righteous?"

"Isn't the same reason for land? Think about it, why should land belong to the emperor and the princes? Is it fate?"

This is naturally not fate.

After a long time, a farmer finally said, "That...is it because they can fight? So they can steal other people's things, but others can't steal their things?"

Sun Pu laughed in his heart and asked again: "Then why can they fight? Why can't you beat the nobles? Is it fate?"

"If you can fight too, then can we say that kings, princes, generals and ministers are better? It depends on who can fight? If this is true, the truth in the world will be simple."

"If this is the case, is it wrong to have a king, prince, general and minister? Or is it wrong to have a king, prince, and prince itself? Is it wrong to have a robber's son or a robber's robber's son or a robber's robber's robber's robber's robber's robber's existence itself? Or is it wrong to have a robber's existence?"

A series of questions made everyone's minds mess up.

Finally someone said, "You know a lot of truths, tell us. We can't figure it out."

The others also echoed, "Yes, yes, tell us, what's going on?"

"Robbers are wrong. But how can we not have robbers?"

"In ancient times, who did the land in the world belong to? How did it run into the hands of the first emperor?"

"Tell us."

More and more people gathered around to listen to these things they had never heard before. Sun Pu smiled and walked to the bonfire, recalling all the things he had learned in the past few years, and naturally began to tell the "forged" ancient things.

It was not like that in ancient times, and the emergence of private ownership was not the case. However, it was the easiest to understand and the easiest to explain why land belongs to nobles and princes is simply unreasonable.

As the bonfire flashed, more and more people were immersed in those simple and easy-to-understand principles and exclaimed from time to time.

Those correctness that originally thought it was taken for granted and did not need to be justified, but according to Sun Pu's explanation, were all unreasonable.

Everyone was so intoxicated that they were drunk and drunk.

On the other side of the bonfire, those young people who have accepted these principles since childhood, as if Sun Pu was talking nonsense, were like telling others that the direction of the sun was east, gradually getting a little sleepy.

Shu Guitian scratched his head and thought to himself: "How come anyone thinks it is natural for the emperor and the princes to own land? Shouldn't this be a mistake for everyone in the world to think of?"

Just like these young people have felt since childhood that equality under the Emperor of Heaven is a truth that does not need explanation.

Not many of them have the ability to explain why equality is, unless they have studied in the Xuanyi Ministry, but they think this principle is natural, just as ordinary as having to eat when they are hungry. Where can I explain it?

After listening for a while, these young people became even more sleepy. The school always talked about these things in monthly "politics" classes. They listened too much, and Sun Pu was too brief, and he really felt that there was nothing to listen to.

They will not have to do this work in the future, as Mozi said: If you want to benefit the world, everyone will be united in heart and comrades. It is like building a wall that can build a solid soil, and those who can enjoy it will be happy, and then the wall will be formed. This is also true for the sake of justice and benefit the world. Those who can talk about debates talk about debates, those who can speak about writings speak about writings, and those who can engage in doing it will be fulfilled.

After all, these young people were just dispatched to serve as staff, and they had to deal with all work by measuring geometric measurements. Moreover, these young people who have not grown up with such work are probably not able to do this.

Several people yawned and got up to go to bed.

Shu Guitian folded his clothes and thought to himself: "It's better to go to bed early. Get up early tomorrow and go to the river to take a bath. Although the water is cold, you have to wash it."

"I have to measure tomorrow, but I'm afraid I don't have time these few days. What is the reason Mr. Sun told them? I just divide the earth directly, turn all the unreasonable things in the world into conforming to the will of heaven, and then the world will be well-managed."

"If the old nobles object, the company will arrest him directly. Why bother? Is it boring to benefit the world?

He muttered a few times in his heart, and suddenly felt that his previous passion was a little cold. The things he thought about benefiting the world should be vigorous and vigorous, fighting among the troops, and seeing the vastness of the world above Yang Fan and Bitao...
