The open income of the officers of Qi State is very low, as long as they rely on their own fiefdoms.

The Duke of Qi could not afford so much money to pay military salaries, and the environment of Qi was not allowed to be as good as Si Shang. He could not receive enough money, nor could he buy whatever he wanted. In addition, the officers hoped to have their own fiefdoms as long-term benefits, so these Xuanyuan officers mainly rely on the income from their fiefdoms.

One thousand four hundred acres of cotton is not much, but compared to an officer who commands about 300 people, it is not much.

This time the Mo family has launched a troops in Jiaodong, and the land reform has been implemented in Jiaodong, and the methods are extremely cruel: the privileges of any noble fiefdom are all cancelled, and the people are encouraged to harvest the land that does not belong to them, arrest a large number of low-ranking noble family members, and publicly conduct insults and trials. This is an irreconcilable hatred.

The parents and wives of the noble who were worried about his land income were both in Linzi. He was born in a black-clad imperial guard and was only transferred to an officer last year. His wife and parents had been in Linzi before, and the fief was handed over to his distant relatives.

But some parents, wives and children are in Jiaodong. An officer sighed and took a sip of wine and said, "People's hearts are not old, and the world is getting worse. Sooner or later, the Mohist family will make the morals of the Jiuzhou summers corrupt. Everyone seeks profit and their human nature is destroyed."

"Even if such a person wins the world, he won't last long, right?"

"In the past, Mi Zi was accused of governing Shanfu. When our army passed by, the wheat in the public fields was ripe."

"Some people suggest that it is better to encourage the people to harvest wheat. Whoever cuts it will belong to it. This will prevent our army from using the wheat from the public fields as military rations."

"But Mi Zijian believes that letting the people harvest food that does not belong to them belongs to him. This is to encourage the people to steal and immorality. Even if they win for a while, they lose for a long time."

"So he strictly prohibited the people from cutting wheat. After our army passed by, they cut wheat for food. Although the Lu people were defeated in the battle, Mi Zijian's reputation spread throughout the world. Even Linzi was often called a true gentleman at that time. When Lu State was defeated, the rules of public and private fields in the world were preserved. The people abide by the rules. This is the real gentleman for the world."

Speaking of this, he spat and cursed, "Look at the Mo family again, what did they do? Is the king's land under the world? The emperor enfeoffs the princes, and the princes enfeoffs us. The lands are obviously not of the people, but the Mo family encourages the people to cede land that does not belong to them."

"This is to encourage people all over the world to be thieves. If such people win the world, the world is probably over?"

At this moment, the noble officers missed gentlemen like Mi Zijian and those real gentlemen who could uphold systems and rules.

Another officer was a little drunk and scolded loudly: "The reason of the Mo family is that there is no reason. When my ancestors followed the king to fight, where were those common people? My ancestors were assigned to the land with great military achievements and passed on to their descendants. What's wrong with them? Those common people did not have the power to fight back then, but now they want land? Why?"

The noble officer who became more and more angry the more he spoke, stood up, threw the wine bottle to the ground, and said angrily: "In the past, Taigong hoped that the country would be established in Qi, with only 15 chariots and only 700 chariots. The surrounding barbarians lived in mixed places, and Laiyi and Huaiyi were threatening many threats."

"Our ancestors fought bravely and expanded the 100-mile yard to 120 cities, with a radius of thousands of miles. Why did our merits become the sycamore in the mouth of Mojia?"

"What were those common people doing at the time? How many were the original Laiyi? How many were just the disciples who followed the chariot? Do you have to rely on them to fight in war?"

"My ancestors made military achievements. As descendants, they should have enjoyed all this. This is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth! What are we wrong?"

"The untouchables want land?"

The officer laughed loudly, stretched out a finger and made an insulting gesture, saying, "When I go back, I will kill those who follow the Mo family to harvest land and return to their private ownership to shock them. The untouchables are ungrateful and are just afraid of force. I think these people in Si should die."

"Did you see the eyes of these villages and communities today? Ha... hatred, resentment, viciousness, but there is no awe."

His words resonated with everyone.

In their opinion, they are not wrong. Whose wealth is not passed on to their descendants?

Even if you are yourself, what are you trying to fight bravely?

Isn’t it that your descendants can own land, fiefdom, population, status, and wealth?

Some people were originally Jiang Qi's nobles, and some were from Chen Tian's lineage, but they were all the same.

They felt that when their ancestors followed King Wu to defeat Zhou, what were the ancestors of the common people doing now?

But now I want land? Why should I give it to it? Why should land belong to nature and belong to everyone in the world?

Some aristocratic officers who were still sober tried to use reason to explain their rationality and said, "Isn't Si Shang still the same? The land does belong to people, but the land can be bought and sold. Money can indeed be passed on to descendants. What's the difference between passing on the fiefdom to descendants directly?"

"There are also the workshops on Si. According to the Mohist school, wealth comes from labor. Are the workshop looms, jacquard machines, etc. made by the workshop owners themselves? Not, but they belong to them. According to the Mohist school, they should belong to the craftsmen who make machines."

"I think the Mo family's arrangement is no different from us, but they talk a lot about them benefiting the world, but we harming the world?"

"Bad! I think it's just that big merchants want to buy our land, but they can't buy and sell due to the seal of land; the farmers who want to seal of land will do their jobs, but they can't move because the people cannot change their careers!"

Some officers even sneered with a sense of indifference that seemed to see through everything: "The untold people are not wise. The people only know the interests in front of them, but do not know that after the land is returned to private, can they be able to defeat those rich businessmen? One day, they will pay the price for their short-sightedness!"

"At that time, thousands of people will lose their land, go to city workshops to work, or work on those powerful lands."

"Under the fiefdom system, at least the farmers still have land that cannot be sold by themselves, and at least we still need their labor instead of starving them to death."

"But they chose the Mo family, and in the end they would have nothing! Even a few acres of land that they planted their own potatoes will be lost."

"It's a pity that they still waved the flag for the Mo family. How could this be different from shooting geese after completing the work, and the geese took the initiative to take off their wings and feathers and sent them to the death?"

Several noble officers shook their heads, thinking that the people were really stupid and difficult to reason with them.

All the systems in Si Shang brought not only the panic of the nobles, but also the shattering of the ideals of the nobles.

A orthodox, Jiang Qi was an officer of the sage family, with a sad tone, and said with a wry smile: "The king and the lord have doctors, the doctors have scholars, and the sects have subordinates. This is an inseparable whole."

"When Mohist talks about contracts, in fact, people without trust use contracts. Do real gentlemen need contracts?"

"A gentleman said: Trust is not based on the root, and quality is useless. If you do it clearly and forgive, you must use etiquette. Even if there is no quality, who can interfere? If you have clear faith, the hairs in the streams and marsh, the vegetables that contain algae, the baskets and kettles of the utensils, the water that is dirty and sloppy, the water that is dirty and sloppy, the wind includes "Cai Su", "Cai Apple", "Elegant" includes "Cai Reeds", and "Cai Drink", which is a loyal and trustworthy."

"Only politeness can educate all peoples, and even without a contract, they cannot betray them."

"The Mohist school did not talk about etiquette, but instead thought etiquette was difficult to do, so they simply did not do it and released the evil of human nature, saying that human nature has no good or evil, but in fact they have always believed that human nature is evil. Otherwise, how could they think that the disputes in the world do not stem from insufficient education, but from wrong rules?"

He shook his head and said, "So, originally, the king, the minister, the officials, the scholars, and the common people, this is a whole that is better than a contract without a contract."

"This is a kind of family that everyone has to distinguish parents, brothers, children and grandchildren for the family. However, in this big family, some are parents and some are children and grandchildren."

"As the princes and nobles who were granted by the emperor, they uphold the will of God and care for the poorest common people with kindness, so that the poorest common people also know that the king does not want to care about them, but does not know their suffering."

"They believe that if they suffer grievances and humiliation, they will still believe that the kings and doctors will preside over justice for them, and that there will be truly upright gentlemen who care for them with compassion and kindness."

"But what did the Mo family do?"

"They made written laws, which instigated the people to find loopholes in the law and thus gain wealth. Those who truly ruled become victims in the face of the law, while those who do not follow the rules, act cunningly and can find loopholes will become rich."

"They make the kindness between people disappear, leaving only a straightforward relationship of interest. Those ploughing ploughed land only for money; and when the ploughing ploughed and suffered, those who have a lot of land would not care about them like parents, but would let them die because there was no so-called contract between them."

"They advocate that everyone is equal, which makes everyone develop ambitions. Why can't I? In this way, the people below always want to make trouble, and the people above should beware of the people below. This will make people in the world no longer trust, and only guard against the people and deception."

"Businessmen are ruthless and unrighteous. Those cold merchants and workshop owners use foul-stealing money to get everything they want, take advantage of the loopholes in the law, hoard goods that may make money, so that their children no longer learn the Six Arts and Music, but learn how to make money by sailing in arithmetic way. They are full of the foul-stealing and vulgarity of getting rich."

"They used burials and frugality, which prevented the ancestors from obtaining enough sacrifices, and did not obtain enough artifacts after death. They tried their best to be concise when worshiping God, which made God angry with the people of the world, which led to chaos in the world and blood flowing into a river."

"Some of you have never been to Sishang, I have been to. What I see is the workers in the humid and noisy workshops working hard every day. They are worried that they will be given up when they are sick, and they have nothing. What can they do if they are fired by those workshops? Sishang ridiculed us and said that the farmers on our fief only have three or five acres of land, but I want to ask, what are those workers?"

When the noble officer said this, his eyes were already a little red. He said sadly: "I almost became a Mozhe, but I found that Si Shang was not a paradise, but it was even more sinister."

"I'm not fighting for myself, I'm for the world, for the rules, for the real world's benefits."

"Perhaps, our rules still have many shortcomings, and there are indeed some people who are not enough to call gentlemen, but all of this can be taught. Compared to the sins in Si, I would rather not change everything."

"I hope to return to an era when neighbors do not place land, princes, officials and scholars are in their own positions, and the world is like a family, and gentlemen are kind and caring for their kindness. Without laws, everything depends on real gentlemen to judge right and wrong, and not give those cunning people the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes; without money, the people will not change their careers, and they will be content with their duties, farmers, workers, farmers, merchants, and scholars, and people have no ambitions, and etiquette and law will prosper, and they will not close their doors at night, and everyone will be healthy."

"If this is the case, how can I cherish even if I die?"

When he talked about the deep love, he played the sword and sang loudly.

If you drink the poor and pour the money on this, you can eat it. How can you eat it? Is it a gentleman or a parent of the people?

If you drink the road and pour it into the water, you can wash your hair. How can you younger gentlemen be the only one who can return to the people?
