Chapter 158 Influence
The moment I stepped out of the venue with my right foot, many possibilities were cut off.
It cut off the fantasy of the National League that Mo Zi had imagined at that time that "all the three hundred countries in Xia are ministers of heaven and are sovereign and equal, and love and not attack, and the new meaning of the world is to establish the sword of the world."
The federal fantasy of the federal government of the province that was slightly possible at this time "inclusive of feudalism among counties and counties".
It also cut off the last innocent fantasy of the Central Plains people who had been enlightened by the Mohist school for more than 20 years and began to feel the feeling of disappointment.
The real troubled times are finally coming. Shi did not hesitate or regret at all, but just looked forward to the troubled times ending soon.
The soldiers guarding outside didn't know what was going on inside, so they could only watch as they got on a carriage.
This is the territory of Wei State, and most of the people in charge of the guards were Wei people. Wei State dared not touch his hair because Wei State was too close to Si Shang.
As for words like "the world is determined to be one", this is not shocking. Many people in the world have seen the general trend, but they don't know why it is.
Stepping onto the carriage, through the Hulin window with a layer of window frost, Shi waved his hand and said, "Go back."
The guards escorted several carriages, but not all of the Mohist carriages left, and finally some were left.
…………
Three months later.
The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and it is the season when rape flowers bloom on Si Shang.
Hidden on the post road between yellow flowers, Xu Ruo and others who had been under house arrest in Xinzheng for half a year were sitting in the carriage, shaking on the way back to Pengcheng.
The post road is very wide, and according to the rules when defending the city, it has been the traffic rules among the right cars. Although the Zhou system has long stipulated, the Si Shang is so strict at this time.
Xu Ruo saw many people pushing wheelbarrows in front of him. They were not very confused and left a road, with soldiers riding horses next to him maintaining order.
After looking at the red armband on the arm of the horseman, Xu Ruo said to himself: "This is the inner guard brigade of the Supervision and Inspection Department."
After Xinzheng left, Xu Ruo heard a lot of news. It was said that the Si Shang Yishi was about to change his name, and it seemed that he wanted to change it to Jiexuan Army, which was naturally the meaning of Jiezong.
I don’t know what name the inner brigade of the Supervision and Inspection Department will be changed to, and maybe new military uniforms will be issued?
Xu Ruo thought this way and asked curiously: "Where are the people in front going?"
The emperor of the carriage didn't know, so he stopped the car and several people got out of the car and asked.
The inner guards riding horses said: "They are all people who migrated to the Huai River from Chengyang, Linqiu and other places. This is the last batch."
Xu Ruo immediately realized that he knew that these people were exchanged for the city of Wei such as Chengyang Linqiu.
I just don't know about the local migration.
After leaving Xinzheng, there were naturally people who responded, but they told them some big things along the way, which were not considered big things within.
Xu Ruo and others were going to rush back to Pengcheng before April. After returning, they had a lot of things because they were going to hold an enlarged meeting of the Mo family. The number of participants was nearly 1,500, far exceeding the normal number of members. They basically included the Mozhe organization at the township level in the Si Shang area and almost all the military deputy brigade commander-level officers.
Xu Ruo also knew something these days, knowing that this enlarged meeting must have originated from the unsuccessful Fengchi meeting.
The Mohist school is synonymous with the same meaning as the lower part and the lower part, and the upper part is the same. This kind of special enlarged meeting is held few, but it must be held when encountering special circumstances.
Everyone in the world can see that after the meeting, the world will be in chaos, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
Shortly after the Fengchihui, Wei Han ordered that the Mohist schools should be strictly prohibited from public lectures in Wei and Han, but the weak grassroots control ability made it impossible for the Mohist schools to public lectures in the big city and Juyi, but the spread of books in secret cannot be prohibited.
In history, even the Qin State, which had "organizational ability far surpassed the six countries", was initially controlled at the village level in Qinchuan and other places, and the newly conquered areas could have "county affairs are all determined by Xiang Liang", and Chen Sheng's army was able to restore the country in an instant. At this time, the grassroots control capabilities of various countries can only be said to be better than nothing. Wu Qi and others killed others and left. There were many people in the Mo family who had murdered or even aristocrats. There was nothing wrong with it.
Xu Ruo thought that smiling was enough for Wei Han's order. It was ridiculous that Wei Han's attitude, and the princes at the Fengchi meeting had reached a preliminary agreement, otherwise Wei Han would not dare to be the first to be a leader.
Migration is also a reflection of grassroots control and organizational capabilities.
Xu Ruo knew that this time the migrants would not see the scene of the family crying together, but he still couldn't help but want to ask.
But he is moving now, so he doesn't ask much.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, the people pushing the cart stopped, which was near a village.
There were a few big pots there, and the women were boiling water. It seemed that they had already been notified along the route that various villages and communities needed to undertake some tasks such as boiling water.
The crowd sat down to rest and drank water. Xu Ruo walked over and could see that the few people next to him were still not used to drinking hot water. He frowned and muttered, "It's so hot, but it's still salty to drink hot water."
"There are so many rules in Si Shang, and it's quite strange."
Xu Ruo could understand the dialect there, and leaned over and smiled, "This rule is for everyone's good. Drinking hot water is not easy to get sick, drink some salt because you always have to sweat when you walk so far."
The person who was muttering was obviously a little nervous, and felt that his words just now were a bit like a complaint, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I don't understand."
But when I saw the women in the local village who were boiling water next to me, I had no fear and anxiety at all for these soldiers and those who were obviously officials in Si Shang, wearing wool-warm shirts. Instead, I chatted and laughed from time to time, which was a big difference.
Xu Ruo looked at the family in front of him. The family was ten, one man and one woman were husband and wife. There was an old lady sitting on the wheelbarrow, and three brothers who should be men. The rest were children.
There are still many traces of Si on these people, such as cotton clothes replaced the original linen, such as wheelbarrows being pushed, and a few sweet potatoes that the children were gnawing.
After looking at this family, I was afraid that the wheelbarrow had been prepared in advance from Si Shang. In addition, there were only a few undesirable stone farm tools, a rusty iron farm tool, and a few clothes left.
Apart from that, they have nothing left.
Xu Ruo sat aside casually, took out a few pieces of rationed sugar from his arms for the children next to him, and asked, "Friends, will this migration go smoothly?"
Seeing Xu Ruo like this, the man said, "Shun. There was nothing at home, only some sweet potatoes and potatoes left. Those who had food at home also exchanged money there. Can't Si Shang buy food as long as they have money?"
This is indeed the case. The farmer who originally carried bronze and stone farm tools in the land suddenly crossed the era of iron and ox plowing, which made the Si shanghai not short of food, and the situation of low grains hurting farmers.
The man said again, "Oh, it's good to move. It was originally a place to divide the land, so we were by the Jishui River. We had heard of the Mo family's morality. But later he said it was not possible and we wanted to withdraw, so we followed."
"A few years ago, the price of grain and cotton was high, so the gentleman took back the land. The family only had three acres of land left to plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes for food. They usually cultivated with the gentleman, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes in their own fields were used as food. If the gentleman sold grain and cotton to Si, we would not starve to death."
"It's better than before."
Xu Ruo asked with a smile: "Hello before? What did you say?"
The old man said, "I heard that in the past, there were all well fields, one hundred acres of a family. After the public fields were planted, I could deal with private affairs. If there were hundreds of acres of land, I would have iron tools and oxen. But now, the gentleman turned the land into their private fields, and made us plough them with them. Only a few acres of land left to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes and they would not starve to death. I still had an old mother at home, but if I had otherwise fled long ago."
Xu Ruo sighed, knowing that this matter is inseparable from Si Shang.
In the areas around the Ji River, influenced by the development of Sishang handicraft industry, aristocrats in many places began to occupy land, occupying public and private.
The emergence of potatoes and sweet potatoes has improved a lot of changes in the situation where a family can only make a living by a hundred acres. Planting potatoes and sweet potatoes in a few acres of fields is not enough to eat, and then relying on serving as a servant for those little nobles to survive.
In this way, the nobles could sell grain and cotton and gain money; some unbearable farmers fled to Si Shang and Si Shang workshops and had people; a large amount of grain and cotton poured into Si Shang and made Si accumulate more and more.
However, Xu Ruo was on the right side of this. He felt that in this way, the land output was indeed more, and concentrated land could also repair water conservancy. The fault was not the land concentration, but who belonged to the land concentration, and the issue of distribution.
Si Shang was also concentrating land to use various cattle and horse equipment to facilitate the overall construction of water conservancy in villages and communities. However, the Mohist family had been operating in Si Shang for twenty years, and the cadres were barely enough, and it was impossible for the entire Xia capital to use Si Shang's method.
There are situations around Si Shang, and there are national conditions in the distance, so they cannot be viewed in a unified manner.
This economic model is already widespread along the rivers such as Jishui, which is close to Si Shang, the most developed industrial and commercial area. However, the distance is still dominated by the aristocratic feudal system, and the situation there is different from here.
Xu Ruo did not tell the deeper things to this family, but just asked, "Are you happy this time you move?"
The farmer nodded immediately and said, "Good. Very happy."
"After going to Huai River, several households were formed into a community, and they could rent cattle and horses to use it. They also borrow iron tools first, so they could live a good life after the cultivation."
"Early, even if you escape, there were many soldiers guards on the Sishang River who saw it and wanted to capture them. If you flee elsewhere, there was nothing. How could you cultivate the land and live?"
"In addition, there is food and drink all the way, this is what you call a paradise."
