In order to wait until the day when conflicts broke out in Chu, the Mohist family has spared no effort in penetrating the Chu State in recent years and invested a lot.

This infiltration and investment in turn intensified and gave rise to many contradictions within Chu.

The original technology spread very slowly. Chu land had to know how to plow oxen, and it would not be implemented on a large scale until two hundred years later.

The progress of new productivity catalyzes the disintegration of old production relations, and the ruling class can no longer rule in the past, which will lead to big problems.

The disintegration of the clan system, the disappearance of the differences between the country and the country, the insufficient effective ruling ability caused by the excessive expansion of the Chu State, and the continued expansion of the aristocratic power caused by the progress of productivity, actually made the Chu State face more difficulties than the Wu Qi reform in history, which was destroyed by the political rebellion.

More than ten years ago, the Mohist family began to gain the power to mine in Chu State and share the accounts with the King of Chu. This was one of the economic foundations for the King of Chu to form a new army, King of Kings and Che Guang.

The iron smelting workshop was opened in Nanyang more than ten years ago. With the help of water transportation and upstream convenience, iron farm tools were quickly promoted in Chu State. It was still a while before it became popular, but some self-cultivated farmers in some cities have "only recognized the Mo family but not the king."

In some cities, banks opened by the Mo family sold ironware by borrowing and repaying them in installments. While a large number of agricultural tools were sold, it also made the people of Chu very familiar with the Mo family and were no strangers to them.

The Mohist family controls a lot of capital, but in some things, it is not for short-term profits. Although in the long run, this monster is forcing the Mohist family to transform the world, at least a powerful organization can not be too short-sighted in pursuit of short-term profits.

The craftsmen's associations in several big cities were also organized.

The Chu State's ruling ability was not enough to reach the grassroots level, because the King of Chu did not even have the ability to directly reduce the land of the feudal monarch directly under the feudal monarch, let alone those grassroots level?

The policy that the Mohist school of Chu has always been a "uncrowned government".

For example, today's princes' understanding of the "government" is basically still on the "collecting taxes, levying taxes, and conscription of troops". As for "benevolent people", in the princes' view, this is "benevolent government" rather than "obligation".

That is, if I have done benevolent politics, it is morally noble.

But if I don't do it, that's right, because it's not the obligation of a regime to benefit the people.

But the theories that the Mohist school has been promoting, such as "benefiting the people, benefiting the world, and resolving the three difficulties of the people", actually made many people take it for granted that the meaning of the government's existence is what the Mohist school said rather than what the monarch hoped.

The monarch believes that collecting taxes and military taxes and being able to organize soldiers is the whole of a regime.

But the people don’t think so. On the contrary, what the central government of Chu did not do, the Mohist school was doing quietly.

This made the Mohist activities in Chu State like fish in water.

The best way to deal with this infiltration of the Mohist family is to "take the Mohist family's path and leave the Mohist family with no way out."

For example, the Mo family clamored that the land belonged to the people all day long, so the King of Chu and the ruling class of Chu State themselves reformed their own land and reformed their own lives. Is there anyone who listened to the propaganda of the Mo family?

For example, the Mohist family clamored to relieve the people's three difficulties all day long. For example, when the middle reaches of the Huaihe River were affected, if the Chu State could efficiently transport food to save the famine, would anyone still listen to the propaganda of the Mohist family?

For example, there are many, but the idea of ​​taking the Mohist family's path makes the Mohist family have no way out cannot be implemented at all.

Is the New King of Chu a reformist or a conservative? This is a question that the nobles must consider, and it is also a question that the scholars must consider.

This is not a stable era of unification without real power and fiefs, and a mechanism for inheriting the throne without inertia.

Coups, brothers kill each other, and usurp the throne happen from time to time.

The Prince Ding incident is an example, and the earlier Bai Gongsheng rebellion, the real powerful nobles will not tolerate a monarch who continues to reform.

Because if they continue to change, these Chu nobles all knew that everything they would be destroyed, and they would even be more powerful than the original Wu Qi reform in history.

More literacy classes, the advantages of warriors destroyed by muskets and gunpowder, and the desire of people to live a better life brought by the high-yield crops of new agricultural tools...

This destined that the Chu State's regime would be more turbulent than the coup before Wu Qi died in history.

The prince Zang had no fertility, which was also a big problem. His younger brother, good husband, had a good relationship with the nobles, which laid the groundwork for the coup.

Now the ambition and firmness of the reform of the King of Chu have made this contradiction more and more intensified.

The Qu, Jing and Zhao tribes firmly controlled the Chu regime system, and the new army of the Chu king and the Mo family's loans and tariffs were barely suppressed.

The spread of the doctrines of the world's great power and the pervasive infiltration of the Mohist school actually made the King of Chu understand a problem.

It is impossible to go all the way to the Mo family so that there is no way to go, but at least a few steps will be taken. Otherwise, the people of Chu will sooner or later be influenced by this trend of thought and burst out with the power to destroy the world.

This is precisely because the King of Chu was eager to reform. In fact, what he wanted to save was the Duke of Chu and the nobles of Chu. Unfortunately, the people he wanted to save stopped all this: these nobles were full-time revolutionaries, and they created the most perfect foundation for the revolution, and the role of a noble resisted 200 members of the Xuanyi tribe.

In order to allow the nobles to have the ability to balance the King of Chu and to raise an army when the King of Chu harmed their interests, the meeting mainly hoped to convince everyone: to increase the smuggling of the State of Chu. Selling guns, cannons, gunpowder, and armor...

The reasons for persuasion, in addition to these issues about balance of power and political direction, have always said that the weapons are not the weapons themselves but the people, and the muskets are not the nobles but the people. The nobles should drive the people as animals that can shoot, so that they can not only be confident enough to fight against the centralization of the King of Chu, but also be swallowed by these "farmers" who can shoot when necessary.

Large-caliber copper cannons are definitely not sold, but small-caliber hemp rope cannons can be sold if they can.

Muskets not only sell muskets, but also flint guns when necessary.

On the one hand, it will continue to stimulate the expansion of the military industry production capacity in Si, and on the other hand, it can earn more money to increase penetration into the State of Chu.

Every time the nobles of Chu bought a musket, they would exploit the people more cruelly. The Mo family could use their profits to increase a doctor in witch suit to save a person in Chu, and they could provide a few more kilograms of food to help when Chu was in disaster.

By the way, we can stimulate the economy in Sishang. After all, the military industry involves coal and iron, supporting minerals, charcoal, agriculture, transportation and other industries.

Not only do they have to sell, but they also have to sell them very well. Many people in cities have had the experience of joining the army with guns instead of spears, which is more fierce than before.

At the same time, we will increase the funds for "subversion" activities in Chu State, and continue to send Mo people to Chu State, especially to strengthen activities in Xiangyang, Xinyang, Dabie Mountains and other places.

To be a village that does not recognize the King of Chu, you must recognize the ink; to those who have a grudge against the nobles, you must be close to the ink; to allow the horizontal and vertical words that are more suitable for paper writing after simplification of Si Shang to replace the Chu seal script in the city and cities...

Not only should it penetrate, but it should also penetrate from all directions.
