The development of industry and commerce in Sishang is being scrambled, and the development of Huaibei and Nanhai is being scrambled. Many self-cultivated farmers who can maintain their own lives are destined to be cheap.

Escape, leave, and pour into the city of Sishang... These are all problems that the old nobles who have changed their identities in recent years have to face.

Dongxiang Ziqi opposed the division of feudal system and restoration of etiquette, because if he really wanted to restore the retro Zhou ritual according to Confucianism, he would be a small scholar, and his fiefdom was only one well, and then he could not buy land.

It is precisely because of the effective anti-feudal patriarchal system near Si Shang that he had the opportunity to annex the land and become a land operator with 6,000 acres of land. The money he received from the grain, cotton and oil transported to Si Shang every year made him the lowest level of the emerging "Sufeng King".

However, when his land reached 6,000 acres and as the times continued to move forward, as the reforms in Si Shang continued to deepen and the budding development, he began to miss the patriarchal system.

If there is still a patriarchal system, then the people on the land will be dependent on him and cannot escape at will. Those who escape will be caught or sentenced. As for now, they will be kind to those servants from time to time, otherwise they will leave.

People like him oppose the patriarchal system and the reason is that they are low-ranking nobles under the patriarchal system. What they oppose is that they are not the patriarchal system of the clan master, clan doctor, Shangqing.

When they have benefited but are facing the situation of the disintegration of the patriarchal system and the gradual collapse of personal dependence, they think about retreating.

The Si Shang allowed migration, but the patriarchal system was not allowed. This was a big difference. When Dongxiang Ziqi crossed the constraints of the patriarchal system as the first to oppose the patriarchal system toward him, she began to move towards reaction.

This time, the policy of the State of Song is about to undergo a huge change. Dongxiang Ziqihe hopes to find out whether the slaves are considered private property and whether they are recognized by the law. This is very important.

Although Meng Sunyang often debates with the Mohist school and sometimes makes some Mohists speechless when talking about the truth, he ultimately lacks experience in governing.

In fact, many people can do it by following the steps and the system remains unchanged.

But if the laws and regulations are changed, the system can be reformed, and the aspects can be taken into consideration, and the country can be healthy and prosperous, it can be called unparalleled in the world, such as Wu Qi, Shang Yang, and Li Ku, who were later generations, were all of them.

Faced with the problem of Ziqi in Dongxiang, Meng Sunyang thought for a long time and said, "This matter should not be done. Although all the schools of thought do their own affairs and each township governs each township, there is a need for a Magna Constitution. Although the laws and regulations of each township can be adapted to local conditions and are convenient, they cannot violate the Magna Constitution."

"It is impossible for a slave to be a private property. Even if the Mo family does not interfere, the future system of Song Dynasty will be based on the political system of the past hundred schools of thought and vote for right and wrong. There will be many people in the farmer family alone, and they will inevitably oppose slave to be a private property."

"Furthermore, the saying that everyone in the Mo family is equal, and that everyone is a minister of the Emperor of Heaven has been passed down to the world. Once this step is taken, it will be difficult to turn back."

Dongxiang Ziqi sighed and said, "But it's hard for us. In this way, Si Shang competes with us for profit. If we really recommend wise men in the future, we must select people who can benefit us as local geniuses."

"You know that you used to work with me, and you only need some copper coins a year for two meals a day. How much does it cost to be a person now?"

"Since you said that the land of Song will enforce the policy of electing wise men, I would like to ask you, do those who have no land and no constant property have the right to elect those who have to work with others?"

"This is a big deal, and you must think about it carefully."

Zhan He, who had never spoken, sneered when he heard this, glanced at Ziqi in Dongxiang, and sneered: "Ziqi's words are unaware of the world's momentum, but they are actually the words of the countryside."

"What is the policy of the Song Dynasty depends on the Mohist school. If it is not in line with the righteousness, the Mohist school will come to Shangqiu again in the name of punishing unrighteousness, what can you do?"

"Then do you think that the Mo family spoke equally all day long, and chose wise men as emperors and princes. Do these people without property have the power to elect others?"

"You are here to reason with us, and it is useless. If you can annihilate the 50,000 righteous masters on Si and destroy them, let alone the slaves as private property, it is to return to the clan law and prohibit escape. What's the difficulty of protecting your land?"

"Besides, there are many people in the Song Dynasty who have no land today. Tomorrow, the land will be reformed, and all of them will have land and property. How can we say that there are many people who have no permanent property?"

Dongxiang Ziqi felt a chill in her heart. She was about to ask again, Zhan He said again: "As the saying goes, govern by doing nothing, the world will be transformed by itself. Here, the policy is generally the same as before. There was also a communist farm in Si, so isn't there anyone in your manor left to work with you?"

"You must not be able to benefit, but you just need to give more money to prevent them from leaving. It's just that you can gain less profit. This is greed. Over time, it will definitely harm your body and you will not be able to maintain your health."

"Let me listen to my advice, stop when you are ready, and don't be greedy."

Dongxiang Ziqi thought to himself, what you said is nonsense, but you seem to let everyone distinguish between the six desires and indulgences, so that people in the world know how to be honest with their whole life. How difficult is it? If everyone is a gentleman, Confucianism is not wrong, it is easy to govern politics, but difficult to govern people's hearts.

He also heard a hint of warning, but he finally held it in his heart and didn't say it, and instead asked a more realistic question.

"I heard that all the confiscated fiefs of the fugitive nobles must be taken back and granted to the people. So, can those who plough in my manor divide the land?"

"Even if they can divide the land, how can they cultivate their own land without cattle and horses or farm tools?"

"There is money and iron in Si, so it can support the villagers of the villages. Why do you make the money and buy farm tools and share them with everyone?"

"Besides, if you do this, how can you be considered a treatment by inaction?"

Meng Sunyang was about to refute, and Dongxiang Ziqi asked again: "If you are in political affairs and want to support farmers with iron and cattle, where will the money come from? You must collect it from us."

"As you say, if you don't pluck a hair to benefit the world, then the world will be ruled. Let me ask you, is it against your morality if you pluck my hair and benefit those poor and lowly people?"

Meng Sunyang remained silent, Zihuazi said: "It may not be necessary to use your money. We can borrow money from the Mo family and the farmers will repay it in the future..."

Dongxiang Ziqi laughed and said, "In this way, you are just concubines of the Mo family. It's a pity that Yang Zi fought with the Mo family for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that Yang Zi's learning would be concubines of the Mo family!"

"Further, what is inaction? If you divide the land, you can buy and sell it. My land has thousands of acres, dozens of cattle and horses, and many iron tools. The people who divide the land have no iron, no cattle, no horse, no spare money. Ten years later, the land will belong to me, and the person will be my servants and farms. This is inaction, and this is self-transformation that conforms to the laws of heaven."

"For example, the Mo family's Gongfarm, whoever fled to Si Shang can enter the society. If there is no Gongfarm, and there is no land in the Song Dynasty, many people who have no land will come to our village to serve. But their doing so has many people who have another way to survive, so that the expenses I have spent on hiring people increased day by day. How can this be considered as a rule by inaction?"
