Chapter 115 Party A and Party B (Part 2)

The tone set by the Mohist school is to cooperate with the princes and nobles of Zheng State, rather than directly overthrow.

Because the time is not ripe, doing so will only consume power and is easily strangled by the Wei, Chu, Han and Zheng nobles.

Furthermore, even though they know that they will definitely fail, they will do it, that is, to transfer disasters and arm the defense of Si Shang, which makes Wei Han and Zheng consume their energy here. This is a great advantage for Si Shang, which at least does not need to worry about defense.

Once the united front is in force, you have to compromise and make concessions. The result of the concession is that the people of Zheng State sing love songs such as "Feng" and "Crying the Rooster" on the city wall, waiting for Wei Han to break the city - they fought for no reason.

For the ancestral temple and country? The ancestral temples are not the ones who offer their own ancestors, but Zheng Jun’s family. What does the Zheng family’s ancestral temple have to do with the common people?

For the sake of national justice? Not to mention whether there is this thing now, Zheng, Han and Wei used the same words, the same habits, and the same customs. This is a fight between nobles. Where did the national justice come from?

In the end, even his own interests could not be done, so the Zheng people were of course unwilling to fight.

Once the propaganda of the Mohist school is bound, its power will be far worse than that in Si. If you don’t let it be said, how can you mobilize the people?

Several Mozhes complained and couldn't help but curse a few words. Several people complained: "It cannot involve the fundamental interests of the people, but they want the people to fight to the death. I think the princes and nobles of Zheng should invite Gao Ming to another one. Even if the giants come in person, they can't do it."

The leader of the Mozhe comforted: "That is not what we say. We know the people's demands, but we must let the people know that their demands can be met through various means."

"It is a trivial matter whether Xinzheng can defend it or not. The important thing is to let the people know that they have the strength to ask for something."

Xu Ruo snorted: "Divide a house and give money. This is not the principal and interest of the people. You and I know what the people want, but if the people really want it, will those princes and nobles give it?"

"It is said that everything in the city is ours to mobilize, and we were given a Huang Talisman, but is this Huang Talisman the same as Zi Mozi's hands back then?"

"What do we have to do when Zi Mozi's Huang Fu was able to directly seize the noble family members as hostages so that they would not escape?"

"Zheng Jun is a big deal. Si family will not give us power at all. The people are not only interested in Zheng Jun Gong's clan. Those land loans and land deposits are related to all the nobles in the city and the merchants who depend on them."

"We can't touch any interest without interest, and it's useless."

The man in charge of propaganda also sighed: "Yes, yes, the people just asked me, how is defending the city beneficial to him? How can I answer?"

"When the city was killed in battle, will the Si family reduce his interest on rent and taxes? The city struggled to defend the Si family and guarded the family. He was not a doctor and didn't even have a family. If he kept the land and wealth for the princes and nobles, what would the princes and nobles give them?"

Speaking of this, the person in charge of the publicity took off his fur hat from his head and threw it hard on the ground and said, "In Si Shang, Huaibei has never had such a problem! Even if someone asks, we can solve it."

"What about now? How can we solve it? If we can't solve it, how can I tell the people?"

"In recent years, more and more people know the truth in Xuanyi, and it is understandable that people ask themselves about their profits... The more difficult it is to deal with this."

The leader of the Mozhe nodded and shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that he doesn't want to be a four-horse pioneer, but that he is both a four-horse pioneer and a broker."

"What do the people want? People know, but can you expect to get the people to sort out a series of content that can be negotiated in a short period of time?"

"cannot."

"So, we must first sort out what the people want, form an entry, and then ask the people if they want it. Then we will take these things to find Zheng Junsi and tell them that this is what the people hope. When the external besieged Zheng Junsi is in urgent need of the people's strength, let the people know that they have strength."

"If the people want to have strength in normal times, Zheng Junsi will definitely be vigilant and suppress it first."

"But now it's different, they need the people to have the strength to defend the city."

"I have to thank the giant for inheriting the gunpowder used by Dayu Tushan to control the water. Otherwise, the city wall would be tall, and they would stick to it for a month or two, even if they did not borrow the power of the people, but it would not work now!"

There were a few more cannons outside while he was speaking, as if he was praising what the Ink Master had just said.

An ink master who had been active in Xinzheng City for a long time heard this and said, "It's not difficult to say this. We have organized, market activities, mill craftsmen's associations and even iron shops in the big city. They are places where people want to do so. They ask what they usually want when gathering and telling stories, but..."

Xu Ruoqi said: "It's just what?"

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "It's just that... our policy on Si Shang is enough for the people to like it, so we just need to describe what should be done. But now we can't follow Si Shang's policy completely, so it's a bit difficult."

"But it's not difficult. Some things are something that the people are eagerly looking forward to should be easy to know."

This is indeed a problem.

Since Si Shang began to rise and become stronger and stronger, and after winning the two battles between Mo Yue and Mo Qi, his attitude towards benefiting the world has actually been extremely firm.

In Si Shang, there is no longer the idea of ​​restructuring the old rules and then repairing them. Instead, since it can be completely transformed, why should we compromise on the premise of becoming a hot old rules?

The humiliation and the Xia people were still strong and civilized around them, and there would be no external threats for at least two hundred years. Since this is the case, no external contradictions could become the main contradiction, which forced the Mohist school to compromise and unanimously to the outside world.

Without compromising, we gradually lack the intention to reform and repair the old rules of the world. As the Mohist said, if the various policies of Si Shang are implemented in the world, it would be excellent. Why should we put the best before and not think about the same?

As everyone discussed it in a verbal way, the core of the problem became clearer. After the way of thinking had become more and more profound, the way these people discussed and considered problems was completely different from the old days.

Soon, after grasping the key to the problem, these people came up with a solution.

First, we will give money by demolishing houses to achieve the effect of building a letter of trust, and then mobilize the public to reason, but do not make promises, and then ask the public what they want.

The people must be in a mess and want to do it in their hearts but cannot speak orderly. In this way, the ink-speaker will come forward and write a "transaction" in the name of the people entrusted.

The Party A of the transaction is a self-cultivated farmer, a land-securing farmer, a small handicraft maker, a small vendor, a down-and-out scholar, and a small landlord in Zhengdi.

Party B of the transaction was the Gong clan of Zheng State, the Si nobles, the great merchants who depended on the nobles, and the great landlord who transformed the nobles.

Party A uses blood as payment and city as payment in exchange for Party B to sell part of the land, reduce rent and interest, reduce taxes, etc.

If the agreement cannot be reached, the Party A will sing love songs and wait for Wei Han to break the city, and then do whatever it should be done, and by the way, it will not only reduce the military tax without repaying a part of the usury. Now that the non-attack is just a means rather than an end, it is impossible for the Mohist school to force the people of Zheng to defend the city and become the tyrants of princes and nobles for the sake of non-attack.

Anyway, if the city is broken, some of the Party B will die, it depends on whether they are willing to exchange wealth for their lives.

If the negotiations are reached, the people will work hard to defend the city and organize it. Party A will serve as the supervisor of the contract at the same time. Today, Wei and Han can defend the siege of the city, and tomorrow will also be able to restrict the execution of the contract.

Of course, there was such a contract before. The emperor divided the throne into the territory, and the monarch loved the people with kindness and righteousness, and the people would be loyal to the emperor.
