Chapter 25 Initiative

Ying Zheng has a strong learning ability, which is something Ju Zizhou has always known, but it is a bit outrageous to be so strong.

Judging from his past performance, he shouldn't have been able to think of this at this time.

Unless he has been hiding his weakness from the beginning.

Ju Zizhou drank water, and his thoughts changed.

Meng Yan, who was on one side, finally couldn't help but be afraid. He abandoned his sword and knelt on the ground, his hands, feet and forehead tightly pressed against the ground, forming a "popular" posture, and he didn't dare to move at all.

Ying Zheng did not care about Meng Yan's reaction.

Ju Zizhou had no time to care about him.

After thinking for a while, drinking the water in the cup, Ju Zizhou finally made a decision in his heart.

He put down his cup and looked at Ying Zheng.

With eyes facing each other, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand pressed on his right arm loosened a little.

"According to the theory of our school, the foundations of all "production relations" that are currently in the world are false, a gathering of oppression and deception, and need to be changed and overturned!"

Ju Zizhou continued: "I told you before that a few people rule the majority..."

"Differentiation and provocation, arouse hostility, and lead one faction to fight another." Ying Zheng replied immediately.

Ju Zizhou was stunned for a moment and gained some enlightenment.

He has only said these things once.

But Ying Zheng can still answer immediately until now.

His talent is really beyond his expectations, no wonder he can't control him.

Ju Zizhou pursed his lips and nodded: "There is no other way."

“That’s how the world is now.”

“The production relations are not very strong.”

"There are many reasons for being unstable. The biggest reason is that the court, nobles, and even the officials of the county and county cannot truly represent the interests of the vast majority of those people."

"Confucianism has emphasized "people are at peace" in recent years, but what is "people"? They talk about the needs of "people", but what is "people"?" Ju Zizhou asked.

Ying Zheng shook his head: "I don't know, but it's definitely not those savages, farmers and slaves."

The words "civil" and "people" in the pre-Qin period were not synonyms for all human beings, but synonyms for people with surnames and clans. These groups included "scholars", "merchants" and "nobles".

Other groups such as handicraftsmen, self-cultivators, savages, slaves, etc. will not be regarded as human beings at all.

However, after the emergence of the "Mohist school", the social status of handicraftsmen rose sharply. Over the past 150 or 60 years, the Mohist traveled across the north and south, and traveled among countries. Everyone saw the power of handicraftsmen, so everyone included this group of people in their "personal status".

Other savages, peasants and slaves... Then we can only wait for a few peasant uprisings.

"During Confucius, the categories of "people" and "people" did not include the lower-level handicraftsmen, self-cultivated farmers, savages, and slaves."

"But now all countries recognize that handicraftsmen are also "people" and "people."

"Why is this?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"I don't know."

"Because the Mohist family stood up." Ju Zizhou smiled and tried to seize the initiative in dialogue: "The power that the Mohist family, such as organized and disciplined transnational armed groups, can exert is far beyond the reach of unorganized and undisciplined aristocratic armed forces."

"So the power of the Mohist is feared by all countries."

"So everyone wants to destroy the Mo people and recruit the Mo family."

"Now that the Mohist family has declined, everyone no longer has to be afraid of the Mohist family, but they still need to be afraid of the source of the Mohist family - handicraftsmen."

"So the social status of handicraftsmen has rapidly risen in this just one or two hundred years."

"Even the Confucianism that hates Mohism the most has to recognize the identities of "people" and "people" of those handicraftsmen."

"Even the most extreme ranger in the market, when it comes to the Mo family, they always say praise."

"If the Mo people became rulers and formed the court, do you think the "relationship" between the Mo family and these people will be strong?"

"Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded: "Mozhe has brought real benefits to these people, and has violence as a guarantee. Their trust in Mozhe is far greater than that in other people!"

"Then what about looking at the countries we are now?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"I understand!" Ying Zheng nodded: "Senior brother means that you need to bring vital benefits to others in order to ensure a stronger "relationship" is established!"

"That's it." Ju Zizhou nodded.

"So that is... according to our theory..." Ying Zheng stood up and looked down at Ju Zizhou who was kneeling: "Senior brother, according to our theory, there are actually safer methods of rule, right?"

"As long as I can represent the interests of the most people!" Ying Zheng looked down at Ju Zizhou with clear eyes.

Ju Zizhou said nothing.

He didn't expect that Ying Zheng would still remember these little things.

Ju Zizhou reflected in his heart: It was still that he was too impatient.

When facing a nine-year-old child, I unconsciously let go of my guards, and I was repeatedly slandered by Ying Zheng.

It seems that I underestimated this kid too much - I can't be treated from the perspective of facing children!

"That's what it means." Ju Zizhou shook his head: "But A Zheng, things are not exactly based on the theory!"

"Or it is because the reality is not enough to support the implementation of the theory!"

"How do you say this?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Insufficient productivity!" Ju Zizhou said: "This is the most serious problem."

"Do you still remember how much food can be grown in a mu of land?"

"The average grain yield per mu of Zhao State is 69 jin and twelve liang!" Ying Zheng blurted out.

"So how much food does each person need to eat every day? In addition to food, people also have to consume oil, salt, vinegar, etc."

"The most important thing is firewood. Without firewood, you can't even eat cooked food!"

"The productivity today is not enough to support too many people to break away from actual production!" Ju Zizhou felt relieved as he watched Ying Zhenggui sit down and pour water for himself.

"You have to remember!" Ju Zizhou picked up the water cup: "Performance determines production relations!"

"Productivity determines production relations?" Ying Zheng nodded: "What about human recognition?"

"People's recognition is the "foundation" of the existence of production relations and is the creation of various "production relations", but the created production relations may not necessarily adapt to reality. There have been many production relations in history, but they were eventually annihilated because they did not adapt to the "productivity" at that time."

"Then senior brother... the "justice" of our school actually represents the interests of the "majority", right?"

Ju Zizhou felt a little uncomfortable: "In theory, that's the case."

"So that's it!" Ying Zheng nodded and poured another glass of water for Ju Zizhou.

Ju Zizhou looked at Ying Zheng with an extremely respectful attitude, and felt the illusion that everything that had been before was an illusion.

I hope everything is an illusion.

Ju Zizhou drank a glass of water: "It's time for me to leave. You can live in the palace. It's hard for me to live here."

"Senior brother can live with me as before!" Ying Zheng said respectfully.

He still respects Ju Zizhou like a god.

Although occasionally he would coerce the gods with force.

"It's always inconvenient to live in the palace!" Ju Zizhou imitated another person's tone meaningfully: "It's awful if you don't get down to earth!"

Ying Zheng subconsciously took a step back.

Ju Zizhou smiled, very happy that he finally found a little rhythm; "Let's go, get me some money, and then get an identity."
