During the Spring and Autumn Period, the so-called six state responsibilities were: princes, literati, employed, businessmen, farmers, weaver.

In an era when official handicrafts were the mainstream, there were few private handicraftsmen and it was easy to manage them.

What handicrafts are directly responsible for the official business and food officials. From wheel bows to copper and tin weapons, and even luxurious jade glass beads and crystal cups, special craftsmen are responsible for the manufacture.

However, as this system gradually disintegrated, social productivity developed, and many private handicraftsmen appeared in big cities.

The brother of Shi belongs to a typical private handicraft industry, which is not directly under jurisdiction, but still needs to pay various taxes. He did not have land rights and did not have military power, but since the scale of the war expanded decades ago, handicraftsmen also needed to serve in military service.

This is a great test for the governors of various countries. The systems of the old era cannot be copied, and the systems of the new era have not been improved. Management and taxation are never an easy task.

City cities, cities and cities.

A city may not be a city, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is developed by absorbing agricultural products from nearby Jingtian Villages and communities, concentrating the surplus social wealth in the city.

The emergence of handicraftsmen, the construction of roads in various countries, the emergence of currency and the exchange of surplus products, finally transformed the city from a full-time ruling castle to a real city.

But new problems also arise. When handicrafts were profitable, a large number of people "changed industries" and changed from farmers to handicraftsmen and merchants.

This problem has already appeared when the Five Hegemons were born, so countries hope that "fathers and sons will follow one after another and work for generations."

On the one hand, because war requires a large number of farmers.

On the other hand, it is also because private handicraftsmen are not easy to manage. Taxation, military taxes, military service, and labor are not as easy as farmers trapped on the land.

Managing self-cultivated farmers and handicraftsmen requires more officials and higher governance levels, while managing farmer-teachers does not require such high levels and so many officials.

The State of Song did not have such comprehensive management skills, so while collecting monetary taxes to various handicraftsmen, they also received physical military taxes.

For example, a carpenter who makes a wheel may need to pay one wheel every year; a leather-making cobbler who makes a leather may need to pay a portion of the leather every year.

This is all for the needs of war, whether it is a tax or not. When necessary, these people will be recruited to make special productions.

This is not a comprehensive tax, but a professional tax, so it is difficult to promote the development of commodity exchange.

Guan Zhong's policy in Qi was to collect physical taxes on wealthy businessmen and nobles. For example, those who hold hundreds of bonds in their hands had to pay a carriage. In this way, wealthy businessmen and nobles could not do it themselves, but would buy it. This not only increased military taxes, but also promoted the development of handicrafts, but also promoted market prosperity and commodity exchange.

The Song State was completely different, but it was just a professional physical tax. The carpenters who made wheels could not buy a wheel and handed over it, and the craftsmen who made leather could not buy some armor and handed over it. Although the military tax was also collected, the development of handicrafts was curbed.

Song Gong should not be stupid either, but Qi Huan Gong has the power and ability to have the army to collect taxes and adjust taxes from young nobles and wealthy businessmen; Song Gong even asked Chu for help even if he had a firm seat, and he dared to collect taxes from nobles and wealthy businessmen, and was driven away by someone.

Of course, the consequences of Duke Huan of Qi Guan Zhong's actions were also cruel. Not only did the Tian family give favors and fights to attract farmers to flee, but the policy of official mountains and seas and adjustments were not implemented at all in the fiefdom of Tian family. They borrowed the power of the merchants and small nobles to strangle the Duke of Qi's money bags, and also received the support of the little nobles and wealthy businessmen. As a result, many coups gradually seized power, and Jiang Qi had finished it.

It was a dream to expect Song Gong to reform.

It’s not good to dream, so you have to face reality. The problem Mozi said is indeed very serious.

Without solving physical responsibilities, it is impossible to hire handicraftsmen to do certain things specifically.

There are seven kinds of wood attacks: wheel, carriage, bow, hut, craftsman, car, and zi. If you are a private handicraft, you should be competent for carpenters and mills, but if the types of jobs are too scattered, it will be difficult to complete the payment of physical tuition.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "I have heard that sir is a good player in carriage?"

Mo Zi didn't be humble and smiled and said, "For example, when making a car, although the old man is stubborn, no one in the world should be faster than me."

He said in a convenient way: "Then this matter is not unsolvable. For the work of attacking wood, we only use craftsmen related to making cars. Many people work in division of labor, help each other to gain profits. The tuition that could have been completed in one month could have been completed in ten days.

"In the name of a gentleman, the sound of axe and a pounding, it is not difficult to gather the three craftsmen around Shangqiu. People seek profits, so we build mills with a hundred times the profits, so that they can get more money than at home, so they can."

Among the seven craftsmen, carriages are carriages, wheels, and bows. Needless to say, craftsmen are construction engineers; huts are concrete houses; zizi are made by carpenters.

The three-work of cars, cars and wheels are enough, and the rest are basically useless.

Shi explained a little more. Now the Mo family has some gold in their hands and its own machinery workshop.

No one cared for the Mohist machinery workshops, and no one collected taxes. They just produced all kinds of weapons to defend the city in a noble place. In the past, when there was an agreement between the Song Dynasty, Song Gong did not care; the great nobles were unwilling to provoke; the small nobles and officials could not afford to provoke them.

The machinery workshop has a complete range of tools, which is far more efficient than those small handicraftsmen. Moreover, the Mohist school also has the ability to manage production, and concentrating people on production can improve efficiency.

Mo Zi thought for a while and said, "They are not Mozhes, so what should they call them?"

"Craftsmen's Association. Those who are of the same kind gather together. "Chegang" once said that there is a remark. I originally wanted to use the name of the peer association, but the word "College" cannot be used together, so I used the name of the craftsmen's Association."

In different eras, whether the same thing is progressive or reactionary is completely different. Before the productivity develops so much that the guilds hinder the continued progress of productivity, the guilds are progressive; when the productivity develops to the free-to-hire factory system, the guilds are reactionary again.

At the current level of productivity, the Mohist school can organize carpenter guilds or other craftsman guilds.

It can not only improve production efficiency, but also serve as the reserve army of the Mozhe. Before joining, the main force of the Mozhe was urban handicraftsmen.

When iron tools appear, new technologies can be quickly spread through guild organizations. The speed of technological innovation is faster than the speed of guild decay to form interest groups.

With Mozi and Axe and Jujin's appeal in the carpenter industry, it is easy to form such a guild. Unless the public sending class is reborn, no one can compete with it.

As for the next step of infiltration into the guild organization after forming the guild, that is another thing.

It also happened to give Moji, a public cover to the secret operation.

The fragile management ability and centralized power level of Song State could not control the Mo people at all. If the Mo people had not had the discipline and strictly prohibited from interfering in the coup of the nobles' power seizure, Mozi's wooden door might have been squeezed out by the nobles in three or five days, and gifts could have piled up into mountains.

It doesn't matter to the State of Song, but it is difficult to go to those states that have begun to try to reform and centralize power, and then directly use the identity of the Mohist.

This matter is not related to the great righteousness of the Mozhe, so according to the procedures, there is no need to discuss it. As long as the people who are specifically responsible for the mill production decide.

After reporting on the pros and cons, Fu Jujin said: "I think it's OK. Let's get together and divide the labor. The entrusted tasks of these people will not be completed soon. After completion, we can build a mill with us, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to do it if we don't have enough manpower."

"Besides, if this vocation is formed, you can also communicate skills. Mr. Husband is very good at benefiting the world and let more people learn it. Although I am not as good as Mr. Husband, I have some methods, so I can teach these people."

Mo Zi calculated and said, "Zhong! Then do it like that. But this matter is still right for you. Fu Jujin and I are busy making utensils. Although you are clever, you can say you can't do it. You secretary seem to have no specific job, but you have to be busy with everything."

Shi hurriedly said, "If Xingyi wants to build a city of Parliament, I will be a piece of clay for Xingyi, and I will use it wherever I can move it. Since the disciples choose to stay in the Mo family, they will naturally have no regrets. The more they do, the more they can do it."

Mozi heard the words wherever he wanted to use, and smiled and shook his head slightly, asking Shi to bring the bamboo slips and write down the order of the giant to let Shi take charge of this matter.

Sign your name under the bamboo slips and leave it to Zaomiqisui to keep it in mind, and let it go, no matter how you are drawing or talking on the ground, you can benefit the world.
