Due to the above reasons, the condition for aligning the peace agreement is the center of the meeting, and it is also an important basis for persuading Gao Sunzi to suppress the non-aggressive faction. It is also the basis for the entire Mohist school to unify its thoughts and prepare for war.

The worry of the tall grandson is not without reason.

After thinking about it when we decided to withdraw our troops, because war is a continuation of politics, we must consider how to end before the war begins.

After laughing, everyone's past thoughts were always weird but always effective, and they had already made three points in their minds.

He also calmed down his excitement, sat down and listened carefully.

Shi Xian said: "Tian Wutu Wucheng ended his political career and ended the Tian family's civil war, which may not be a bad thing for us."

"You must know that this time Qi chose to abdicate the peace talks, rather than Tian Ya killing Tian He in one fell swoop and directly cleaning up Tian He's power."

"The reason is nothing more than two points."

He stretched out his finger and smiled and said, "First, our layout in Linzi scared Tian Shan. The ink masters in Linzi came forward half-light and half-dark, and even half-openly. Many of the secret ink masters we set out in Linzi were exposed to guide the people and let Tian Shan see the power of the people."

"He was afraid. He was afraid that we would work with the people of Linzi. Because we had worked in Shangqiu once, no monarch would like to have the monarchy like Shangqiu."

"Secondly, Tian He has been the Duke of Qi for so many years and has a vast power. Tian Shan can only win by our suppression of Tian He. If he did not succeed this time, even without us, I think Tian Wu can definitely overthrow Tian Shan in chaos."

"Since it is said that this universe is a process of constant generation and resolution of contradictions, then the internal contradictions of Tian's family seem to be resolved, and new contradictions become what Tian has to face."

"Indeed, if Tian and Tian Wu are resolved, the conflict between the people and the nobles, the nobles and the monarchs, the monarchs and the people will become a big problem facing Tian Shan."

"Now we know one thing. Tian Shan was afraid of the power of the people. Our methods in Linzi made him panic, so he chose Hotan and compromise. Then, he had to rely on the power of the nobles. Why should the nobles support him?"

"Just just by shouting a few slogans for the country of Qi, the nobles were yelling and shouting long live and desperately?"

"My comrades, wake up. The era of righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period is over. The true 'nobles' who seek righteousness and respect rituals but not profits are almost dead and have lost their families."

"There must be a benefit! Do he dare to touch all the nobles of Qi? He dare not touch."

"Does he dare to fight for the people of Qi? He can't fight, is he more beneficial to the world than us? If he really does everything for the people, I think he can call him Comrade Tian Shan. What else do we fear if that is true? If that is true, he will not choose Hotan and compromise if the people restrain him."

When they talked about the fact that they could be called Comrade Tian Shan, everyone present laughed, and many people secretly wiped their sweat. Thinking of the blushing face and the red-eared ears of Gao Sunzi, they were also happy to see this not-so-funny joke, hoping to get rid of the situation just now.

Shi stretched out his hands and said, "If the left hand is the people and the right hand is the noble. He is not as good as our left, so he cannot win over the people; he does not want to be right, because the doomed monarch on the right falls, and the Tian family started the coup."

"It is impossible to support both left and right, but it may lead to opposition between left and right, and only some people who do not matter to accept their fate."

"In this way, I see that he can make very few choices."

Some words can be used as jokes, but some words will have a great impact after becoming jokes. In this case, you can use your left and right hands to make metaphors, but you are not interested, but you are afraid that the listener will intentionally give the word "right" to give new meanings.

However, everyone didn't think so much at this time. Gao Sunzi thought about it for a while and admitted the appropriate analysis.

Indeed, I seemed to have really made the problem of carving a boat and seeking a sword as I said.

He reflected on himself and thought that my thoughts were wrong. If the contradictions within the Tian family were resolved, then the new contradictions would replace the old ones, and there would be no contradictions in Qi.

He looked up at Shi and finally said, "What you said makes sense. I did make a mistake of carving a boat and seeking a sword. But, more practical questions, what should we do in the land reform of Wenshui and Jishui? No matter what, the people will suffer, this is something we cannot tolerate, and how can we explain to the people at that time?"

"We withdraw our troops and do not directly govern. The nobles there are equivalent to dealing with us and Tianshan. We are helping Tianshan clean up the nobles, and the people have obtained land. I am afraid that they will not have the ambition to benefit the world."

Shi nodded and said, "Since we have done the Wenshui, Jishui, we must take care of it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be that if we shit and don't wipe our butts? The people support us, and we have emerged. We will not care about it. They will be liquidated. It will be against the people of Qi and the people of the world. We must also love each other, so we have to take care of it no matter what."

"We not only have to help Tianshan clean up the Wenshui River, but also force Tianshan to admit the tax rate there. The tax rate of our Mohist family on Si can be set as Wenshui, and the tax rate of Jishui River is forced to admit the certificate of Tianshan, otherwise we will not withdraw our troops."

Jia Tun, who was in charge of finance, immediately understood what he meant and stood up and said, "This is a good idea. Since we have to be synonymous, then at least the taxes will be the same. Twelve taxes are given one, and labor is given money. As long as Tian Shan agrees, he will have no money in his hands."

"We can make money through industry and commerce, but it is difficult for land. Moreover, the tax on the people is low, so we don't care. But this time we must win the right to exempt tax and let the people there use the remaining money to buy our goods."

"Tianshan cannot collect taxes, and the tax on the coupons we set is low. What can he do if he continues to organize the people to resist unreasonable taxes reasonably and legally? We are right at the doorstep of Qi State, and all countries are weakening and no one is provoking us. He dare not disobey us, so he can only accept it with his nose. When he wants to resist, the people will object first, and then I think it is time for us to win the battle with the princes."

The Mohist family's taxes are actually not low. The twelve taxes are just nominal, and various industrial and commercial income and indirect taxes are the big ones. The only ones who dare to tax one in the world are the Mohist family, who occupy Si Shang but industry and commerce absorb the blood of the Central Plains. The Mohist family set a benchmark, making it difficult for the princes of all countries to do: if they surpass it, they would be evil politics, and the people think that Si Shang is good; if they don't exceed it, they can't receive money without sufficient industrial and commercial foundation. Si Shang's first-mover advantage locks the path that the monarchs of various countries can choose - forcing them to focus on land taxes, which will inevitably intensify the conflict with farmers.

Everyone also felt a little scent when Shi Jiatong said that.

Since land reform is to help Tianshan stabilize the situation in Qi State, wouldn’t it be enough to turn the subsequent land reform into a new starting point of contradiction?

As long as Tian Shan admits such a low tax, he will not be able to collect money. Recently, Qi State cannot fight, and the Mohist family has gone deeper. When it is time to fight, once taxes and labor service are paid, the local people will inevitably be resentful and miss the "not paying food" Mohist family who stayed for a short time and were not ready to build for a long time.

Tax revenue is only part of the income after the land reform. The real big part is the increase in farmers' surplus grain caused by the land reform and the profits of industrial and commercial development driven by the increase in purchasing power.

Without land reform, pointing to the aristocrats, there are not many handicraft products that can be sold.

After the land reform, farmers had surplus grain and could participate in commodity trading, and industry and commerce were the strengths of the Mohist school.

While everyone was still thinking, they said, "Everyone, where is the Wenshui River? That's it because of Onozawa. Onozawa communicates with Heshui, and Heshui communicates with Sishui. Is the freight in Linzi lower? Or is the freight in our Sishui lower?"

"Qi State relies on the benefits of fish and salt. Well, if we win, can't we open a salt farm in Qi State to sell salt? Which big businessman in Qi State can compete for us now? Will the field of Qi State plus all the principal of those merchants be enough for 10% of all the funds that Jiatong could use in the Shishi? Whoever does it will make him bankrupt and cannot hold on. Either give up the Wenshui market, the Jishui market, to shrink back to the north of the Great Wall to sell, or fight with us in Jiwen, it will make them bankrupt and unable to hold on."

"Let me give you an example. Suppose Tian Shan is going to learn from our business and business to benefit, and build an iron smelting workshop. Our goods in Qi are exempt from taxes, just like Tian Shan's own workshop. In terms of cost, can he be as low as us?"

"He sells 100 yuan, and we sells 80 yuan. He can mobilize funds, so he can't handle it. The more he does, he becomes poorer and poorer. Even if he is really a master of Qi You can have the same skills as us, then we will lose money and sell it. Everyone will pay for each other. It depends on who has a stronger principal and who can't hold on first. Do you think he can survive us?"

"What else can Qi State sell? At that time, what kind of Wenshui and Jishui will be left to Tianshan?"

"It is a land that people have obtained land, thanks to the Mohist school, and gradually understands the demand for profit and resists the 'rebirth tax'."

"It is a land where only one acre of tax can be collected, but the farmers' surplus grain income is exchanged for our handicraft goods."

"It's a land that feels that once the tax is collected, you have to resist, and a land that feels that the twelve taxes are gradually becoming natural."

"It is a land where the farmers who dare not conscript us and will resist first once they start a war with us."

"The Mohist family's income is not just 1 tax, and the purpose of land reform is not just for the plough of land, but for the increase of people's surplus grain, which can purchase handicraft products and promote the development of Sishang's handicraft industry. What can the land get by just 1 tax, just 1 tax?"

"We gave up the Wenshui River, but signed a free import of goods without duty and allowed to open a peace agreement between mining and salt. The Mo family did not fall for a day, and Si Shang was not in chaos. Linzi's handicraft industry could not develop in one day, and Tian Shan could not receive money. If he could not get enough money, how could he become stronger?"

"He wants to become stronger and have money. He can't collect money south of the Great Wall. The industrial and commercial benefits south of the Great Wall are in our hands, so he can only make money north of the Great Wall."

"How can you become stronger if you don't have money? How much does a soldier cost? How much does a bronze cannon cost? How much does an army cost?"

"Whose money can be used to make? The nobles can be used to make it more serious, far better than the farmers north of the Great Wall and Jiaodong, and the private handicrafts in Linzi?"

"So I said that this contradiction not only did not disappear, but would intensify even more. This intensification will lead to the people south of the Great Wall getting along well with us; the people north of the Great Wall, including some industrialists and businessmen, are angry and suffering, and begin to think about the morality of the Mohist school to support us."

"If he doesn't want to become stronger, he naturally doesn't have to make money. Perhaps it can really calm the conflicts between Qi State. Then why should we worry that Qi State will become stronger?"
