The departure of those people did not cause a sensation to the Yang Zhu School. At this time, it was very common for scholars to change their sects. The views of the Yang Zhu School and the Mohist School on "sacrifice" were also an unsolvable knot.

Meng Sunyang then spoke a few words to the disciples who stayed behind and continued to move forward. When he arrived at a manor, it was already noon, so he could rest and have lunch at this time.

The owner of the manor heard this and greeted him. Meng Sunyang and others were all scholars. After greeting each other, the owner of the manor quickly asked the servants to prepare meals.

The owner of this manor is actually a man who knows the heroes of the world. He kept asking: "Is it because he is the Meng Sunyang who is unlucky with Qin Zi? Is it because the cocoon silk is the moon, the needle is the hook, the Jing Xiao is the rod, and the pellet is the bait? "

The owner of the manor came up with the most proud things in his life among several figures of the Yangzhu School. His surprise was praise, and everyone enjoyed it and answered it.

Zhan He is also a well-known figure in the Yang Zhu School. He is as famous as Meng Sunyang and Zi Huazi among the disciples of the Yang Zhu School. He was praised by Zhuang Zhou in later generations.

He is good at reasoning and logic, but he likes to pretend to be profound. Therefore, Han Feizi later made up a story about Zhan He sitting at home and there was a cow outside. Zhan He didn't even look at it, but after hearing the cow called, he said that the cow outside had a black cow and a black horn. His disciple went to see it and said it was a white horn. Zhan He said that it must be wrapped in white cloth with a cow. You saw it wrong, and his disciple saw it as if it was indeed.

Han Feizi used this story to criticize Zhan He for not observing everything and guessing it intentionally. Of course, it is also because Zhan He's reputation for reasoning is left in later generations, which is extremely magical in the eyes of people who don't know reasoning.

The owner of the manor praised Zhan Heshan, which was another story.

After Meng Sunyang and others were entertained, they talked to the owner for a few more words and learned that the owner of the manor was also a scholar, with a surname of Zi and a family of Dongxiang. Several ten generations were also a prince. Because his ancestors were named Dongxiang doctors, the descendants of later generations regarded Dongxiang as their clan.

His single name is Kuo, whose name is Ziqi. He cannot call him directly when his peers meet, because the names are generally cheap at this time. When he grows up, scholars and scholars have identities and cannot call each other like this, unless the elders and teachers can call him directly. Therefore, the Yang Zhu School can call him Ziqi, and when he retells, he calls him Dongxiang Ziqi.

The lunch prepared by Ziqi of Dongxiang is no longer full of traces of etiquette, or it is already very serious because of the silent influence of Si Shang.

After a brief conversation, Dongxiang Ziqi talked about her experiences over the years.

He is one of the top gentry here. He has more than 6,000 acres of private land at home, and dozens of people work with him. He has a lot of cattle and horses. He grows cotton, wheat, rapeseed, etc. every year and sells it on Si, making countless money.

The huts are all made of bricks and tiles, and there are two hulin windows outside the Si Shang, which can be regarded as symbols of identity.

During the Song State coup more than 20 years ago, his father was still a scholar, but he was not affected. The central government of Song State was completely destroyed, and the grassroots rule outside the city was almost completely lost. The Mo family took the opportunity to infiltrate all parts of the Song State and basically banned the Song State's rule in villages and communities and cities in some places.

At that time, his family had about a thousand acres of land, which were actually obtained by public to private. At that time, the State of Song had already had private land, but the public land system, private land system, village and community system, and the land seal system, and the serf system were very chaotic.

Not long after, cruel land annexation began in this area near Sishang. Because of the development of industry and commerce and agricultural technology in Sishang, the land management is profitable. Over the past 20 years, Dongxiang Ziqi has used various means to continuously annex the land.

Either occupy public land or borrow money from famine in the past year... Some self-cultivated farmers, because this place is not Si Shang, without the support of cattle, horses and ironware, and the price of grain has dropped for two years, making their lives very poor, or they were sold out of debt and bankruptcy and were exiled to Si Shang; or they were sold out of the land with the dream of making money in Si Shang.

In the villages where people are not self-cultivated farmers, Dongxiang Ziqi gradually occupied the land that originally needed to be redistributed every twenty years; or directly occupied the land, and the farmers who originally had a little bit of land gradually became servants.

Until now, Dongxiang Ziqi has owned 6,000 acres of land, and has a huge annual income.

He is considered a rich man, but he is no longer aristocrat.

Most of the nobles are rich, but wealth is not necessarily a noble. The basis for the existence of aristocrats is divided into feudal systems and personal dependence.

The nobles own the land and the dominance of the people on the land. When the emperor and the princes were fiefs, they were granted land bound together with the people. Otherwise, a large amount of land was distributed to the nobles but no one was left. Could it be that the nobles would let the nobles go to farm themselves?

In addition to some economic reasons, the situation like Dongxiang Ziqi also caused great changes in the political structure of the Song State.

It turns out that the balance of aristocratic politics requires the balance of power in the aristocratic fiefs, and the balance of power in the fiefs is closely related to the number of serfs in the fiefs.

For the nobles, the farmers in the fiefdom were not just tools for cultivating public fields, tools for daily labor, but also soldiers. The nobles without soldiers had no say in the feudal system, especially the three surnames of the Song Dynasty, so the nobles needed to tie the farmers firmly to the land.

After the coup in the Song State more than 20 years ago, all the places were in chaos, and several major nobles could only control their fiefdoms, while the nobles near the Si Shang area turned one after another.

It is not possible to turn around. The exploitation is too strict. Next to it is Si Shang. The farmers in the fief are running towards Si... Even if there is still a fief, no one can work, and the nobles cannot work by themselves. No matter how big the fief is, it is equivalent to nothing.

Si Shang carried out the most violent land reform, and these places near Si Shang took twenty years to move into a merger model of forcing and robbing.

This kind of robbery is accompanied by the advancement of production technology. Many people who are servants feel that their living standards are stronger than they were twenty years ago, so many people stayed to serve in servants. In addition, Si Shang as a pressure relief valve for this change did not lead to large-scale peasant uprisings and resistance incidents.

Dongxiang Ziqi hired a man who was proficient in farming to manage his own land and reformed his planting technology. In addition, Si Shang urgently needed grain, cotton and oil crops in the past few years, which made him earn a lot of money every year.

This time, Si Shang sent troops to Song State, but he was not affected because Si Shang's policy was very clear: the land of the fleeing nobles was taken back to the people's ownership, and the fiefdom was not against private land.

However, he was still a little worried. What he was worried about was not that his own land would be divided. Si Shang's policy was very clear, and he would not be divided in such land.

What he was worried about was the poor and cheap people who were employed in his manor, whether they could distinguish between land or not?

Especially when I heard that the "truly equal" farmer families also had to participate in the rule of the Song State, I was actually very panicked.

If the culprits in their own manor also divide the land, then... even if the 6,000 acres of land are my own, who will plant it?

Today's technology of cropping, iron ox plowing, high-yield crops, ridge rotation and crop rotation and other technologies, a family of nine people will not be hungry if there is no famine in the family.

If he really had the land to those people, or if he had organized production and land reclamation like Xishang, or if he had divided the fiefs of the great nobles to the people, including the tillages in his manor, then his 6,000 acres of land would be no different from ten acres of land.

There are many things to say now. Today, when I saw the Yang Zhu School and others passing by, Dongxiang Ziqi finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. As long as I was not a farmer, it would be easy to say anything.

The population here is dense, but relatively speaking, there are still a lot of land or land that can be reclaimed in the Iron Age.

What Dongxiang Ziqi is afraid of is that the ruling schools such as the farmers or Mohists with the ability to execute and organize. Reclaiming land requires capital and organizational level. Otherwise, the people would be content with the status quo and would rather continue to work and farm. After all, there is no money, no cattle, no iron, no farm tools, no seeds, no spare money to spend the previous years.

He sincerely hopes to come a group of "governance by doing nothing", don't care about anything, don't organize people to cultivate, don't organize people to farm, don't provide loans and support to the people, and let everything go with the flow and everything is self-contained.

During the meal, Meng Sunyang mentioned the incident of "The Two Beautiful and Ugly" when Yang Zhu stayed in a hotel and said, "Yang Zi said, do good deeds, and do not act like a virtuous person. We are about to rule this place. In the past, Mi Zi was accused of governing Shan’s father and played the piano to govern. That is because he is good at listening to the ideas of everyone and knowing what the people want, instead of thinking that the policies they implement are virtuous politics. This is an example of how to learn from experience."

"I wonder what Ziqi wants most?"

Dongxiang Ziqi looked at everyone. He was also a frank person, not fake, and said bluntly: "If you talk about the truth, I want to have a private property system for slaves."

Several disciples of the Yang Zhu School suddenly hissed, and Meng Sunyang waved hissing: "Don't be confused, everyone has ideas, and may not do it. Besides, this is just saying something from the bottom of their hearts, don't quarrel."

After all the disciples were quiet, Dongxiang Ziqi said, "If the person who employed me as a slave and my private property, that would of course be the most beneficial to me."

"First, now there are few people and many lands, and there are many cultivations on the Si River. Whether they are employed by me or the people of my fiefdom, once I suffer here or can live better elsewhere, they will run away."

"If he is a slave, he will be my private property. Then even if he runs to Si Shang and the South China Sea, as long as he is captured, it will still be mine. My private property belongs to me. Isn't Si Shang also recognizes private property, and there is also the law to protect private property."

"But what can I do if I run away if I run away for the stewards and land-sealing people?"

"You also know that Si Shang respects private property. When Mo Di defended the city in the past, even if he demolished houses and built buildings with wood when he defended the city, he would need to register and repay them later. If these people are not slaves, they are not my private property. If they escape or leave Si Shang, they will not send them back to me..."
