Chapter 74 Fighting Violence with Violence

Merchants have always been like this. When their country's industry and commerce are strong, they are enthusiasts in expanding the market; when their country's industry and commerce are weak, they are the main force of comprador smuggling.

The biggest businessman is thinking about making profits that it is easy to make money, and it is also the highest reward for a stake in a stake.

In the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, there were Lu Buwei's extraordinary goods, and there were Luoyi merchants investing in the war bonds of the Zhou emperor. During the rebellion of the Seven Kings of Wu and Chu in the Han Dynasty, there were also merchants investing in the Han central government or rebelling princes.

War can be profitable.

Horses, land, food, pearls and jade... these can be realized. The biggest reason why the Zhou emperor was in debt in later generations was that he lost without spoils to repay the war bonds.

The reason why Zhongshan Kingdom has successfully restored its country and has temporarily stabilized its country is that the Mohist school has made the country successful in restoring its country and has the ability to repay the loans of those merchants.

Things are similar in the Song State.

Si Shang gathered merchants from all over the world. There were also many merchants who had previously given loans to the emperor's father Yue Ling and the nobles of the Song State. Today, I would like to mention merchants in the hope of using this matter to teach those merchants a lesson.

Some merchants were a little clear-headed. Even if they borrowed loans to those nobles or royal fathers, they would also implement the laws of Si Shang through intermediaries and have loan notes for paying stamp duty: this loan notes for paying stamp duty means that tens of thousands of troops in Si Shang can arm the debt for this.

Another group of merchants were a little clever, bypassing the economic controls in Si Shang and directly taking out loans. Only each other's contracts did not have stamp duty deeds.

Now that the emperor's father Yue Ling has been captured, many nobles have been captured, fled or died in battle. In addition to part of the land to be allocated, the money owed still has to be paid back.

Even if there is no cash, the mountains, rivers and the like in the fiefdom will still have to be paid back.

The Song State is different from the Si Shang. The "natural law and morality" that "natural things belong to the world" is destined to be fully implemented in the Song State for the time being. At least the Song State has a duke now, and Si Shang's attitude towards the Song State is more like hoping that the Song State will become a buffer zone, a vassal state and an economic colony.

In other words, the legal principle of land reform in Si Shang is that natural things belong to the world. The land workers after labor reform have priority possession. The aristocratic fiefdom does not have legal significance, which is unreasonable. Why is this piece of land your fiefdom?

The legal principle of the land reform of Song Dynasty was "the nobles fled and rebelled, the fiefs were revoked, and the Song Gong and the Grand Duke of the Inquiry Yuan gathered public opinion and decided to auction or divide them with the people." This was a legal principle of people's law, which was essentially inherited the feudal system, but the people who were sub-finished fell from the scholarship class to the common people.

Part of it is because the situation in Si Shang and Song State is different, the second is that the economic development of Song State has sprouted in recent years, many small nobles have transformed into commercial landlords, and third is that this matter involves the attitudes of various countries.

Based on this situation and in order to win the hearts of all the industry and businessmen, he was prepared to admit that he had a stamp duty stamp and would repay the land of those nobles.

However, there is no IOU for Si Shang stamp duty, and it will not be recognized and will not be repaid.

This is also a deliberate act. In the future, even if the Mo family and Qi, Wei and Han went to war, the merchants would have to pass through Si Shang. At that time, whether to take care of it or not, or punish it, it would be a matter of the National Congress passing a decree. If you don’t pass through Si Shang, you will lend it to them privately. In the future, the ancestral temples that they lose or lose will collapse. Si Shang will not recognize this loan note.

In the end of the Song State, what Si Shang planned was to mix sand and form a loose autonomous alliance, use the Song State as a test field, tie the hundreds of families to the forefront of the battle with the princes on Si Shang. Some of the things here need to be operated.

Near Si Shang, the economic germination of Song State was already very strong: the land that should be annexed was merged, and those who had no land ran to Si Shang to work for farmers or became workshop workers. In this case, there was no need to move for the time being.

Far away from Si Shang, the aristocrats exploited severely, and the so-called "true equality" fantasy of the farmers can use the most violent means to clear away the remnants.

The future plan of the Song State is to be divided into several major regions, each with the respective school schools in power. There is the central government of Song Gong and Xunzhengyuan in Shangqiu, but the centralized ability of Song State was weakened as much as possible. The Mohist school wanted to control the military power and standing army of Song State, and each autonomous region paid a certain amount of military taxes and taxes according to population and land conditions, and the rest were tossed at will.

The notes marked with stamp duty were mainly concentrated on some noble fiefs in the central and western parts of the Song Dynasty. The number was not very large. The Mohist family could borrow some money to the farmers to repay their debts where they wanted to be "really equal", and then slowly repay the Mohist family with agricultural products.

In the remaining places, other families do not have such fantasy except for the true equality of farmers. They can take out part of the confiscated land to repay their debts and allow Song State to complete the transformation as soon as possible: a combination of self-cultivated farmers and large-scale business farms, forcing more people to run to Si, making Song State a place for raw materials and agricultural products in Si, and an emerging market for industrial and commercial products.

As long as this can be done well, the State of Song can maintain its existing stability and allow General Si to spend more time on the State of Chu.

The Song State is located in the world, and the world is determined by the Song State. It doesn’t matter whether there is a Song State for the time being. If there is no emperor in the world, there will be no Song State; on the other hand, there may not be no emperor in the world.

Since Si Shang is the largest capital owner today, he has educated merchants in the past few years what "reasonable competition" means, several big merchants engaged in grain speculation and cotton speculation were destroyed by Si Shang's sufficient financial and material resources and the most "compliant with market competition" means. The rest were also opened to know that those things cannot be moved and what things can be moved.

Nowadays, the methods of Si Shang are more pure, and the attitudes of merchants are becoming more and more clear. At least, the laws on Si Shang are based on people and have laws to follow, which is better than those of other princes.

Shi Jiatong understood Shi's meaning and also understood Shi's meaning of asking about the businessman's attitude. It was nothing more than just looking at the businessman's attitude. This was a preview.

The current situation is that Wei State is waving flags and shouting in the distance, calling on the princes to interfere in the joint alliance between Song State; Si Shang has mobilized like never before, shouting the slogan that if all countries interfere with Song State, the Mohist family will sacrifice the last Mohist for justice.

Not many people truly understand the situation. Most people see the prospect of a war breaking out. In this case, as long as the businessman still has confidence in Sisaka, and has the idea of ​​supporting and eager to make profits, then this is the greatest victory for Sisaka.

The basic foundation of the soldiers of Si Shang was the large number of new self-cultivated farmers and good families in Si Shang. The call for the anti-noble system of the Federation of Peasants and Industry and Commerce was implemented only in the attitude of merchants, not only in Si Shang, but also in Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin countries.

The world of farmers is within a hundred miles unless they join the army; the world of merchants is in the south, Chu and Yan, and they are a great help from the Mo family to rely on outside Si Shang.

If the businessmen temporarily support this situation, it can be foreseen that even if the fight really starts in the future, the businessmen will choose to stand on Si Shang.

As for whether it lasts, it does not depend on how desirable the morality of Si Shang is, but only on whether Si Shang can bring the dawn of victory.

Yushishi said: "I think this way, the holders of the loan notes that paid stamp duty through Si will gather together, and the city Jiatong came out to talk to them. Let us tell you about the Song State that their debts will be repaid."

"To sort out the specific location of the lender's fiefdom, please note that the fiefdom cannot be paid back the debt and can only be divided, and only those nobles' private land can be used."

"The rest can be discussed slowly. The matters of Song State can also be resolved slowly. The main thing depends on the attitudes of each country."

"If the princes are determined to interfere, it would be simple. They should directly follow the natural benefits of the world. If Song and Si Shang treat each other equally, there would be no need to have to have two systems."

Speaking of the attitudes of various countries, some people stood up and said, "The news from Chu is that some of our people are detained and placed under house arrest in Chu."

"It's okay in Chen, Cai, Yingdu and other places, but the King of Chu did not give orders. However, in the fiefs of some Chu nobles, our comrades who sent surveying and mapping and public activities were detained."

"How should I solve this problem?"

Shi lamented, "The State of Chu is now undercurrents. The reform of the King of Chu has touched the profit of the nobles' enthronement. The nobles' enthronement actually hope that the King of Chu will go to war with us. If the war is to start, internal stability will be required, and it will be like the nobles' enthronement to compromise."

"I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that the King of Chu will not want to fight, but the King of Feng wants to fight. At that time, kill our people and try our best to guard against our reconciliation with the King of Chu."

"It is not impossible to force the war to start. This matter really needs to be resolved as soon as possible."

Under the feudal system, prototypes and variants above the following always exist, which is exactly what Shi is worried about.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Sunzi, the leader of the extremely distressed leader in the Supervision and Inspection Department, smiled and said, "The giant is too worried, it's simple."

"To benefit the terror of the world, to fight against the terror of the world."

"When any noble dares to take action, let's make some big noise. Children, women and children are innocent and will not kill the whole family, but those who take action and those who give orders will not survive."

"Kill one person to benefit the world, of course we will be able to kill. If he takes action, we will still compromise for the overall situation. This will make the princes in the world forget that the Mo family once violated the forbidden war, and that we also forgot that the reputation of assassinating King Shengheng of Chu back on our backs, and we will be even more scruples when we kill us."
