Chapter 17: Tian Zhiming, the Ghost Gathering the Rogues (End)(1/2)

The fish that was cut open scraped off the scales, took away the dirt, and fell into the large pottery jar of the public and rural communities.

Zhanqing's water escapes from the bottom of the well, sacrifices to heaven and earth, and cooks nine fish together.

The hot and clean stones were thrown into the pottery tank that was difficult to heat, which exacerbated the umami flavor of the fish and made a thick white soup.

The last handful of coriander that never affects the fruiting of seeds and the broken garlic leaves give this simple fish soup a taste of future and hope.

All kinds of sunflower vegetables, leeks and pickled gourds were placed in front of the villagers, and the millet rice and millet porridge brought from their homes were intertwined.

The most delicious soup means the most unpalatable fish, but even if it is unpalatable, the villagers are still reluctant to give up the fish that tasteless to chew, and are very satisfied.

In addition to satisfaction, there is also infinite hope and hope for the future.

A paradise that can attract everyone is always filled with milk and honey without getting anything, so it is destined to be impossible to build on earth.

It can attract the lowest heaven, without getting something for nothing, just getting something for work, and sometimes it is just hidden in the peach garden, just like the traffic between the streets and the dogs. Therefore, this is destined to not attract aristocrats.

After listening to the fifth paradise that the farmers in these villages and communities talked about, they finally realized that everything is relative, changing and moving.

When you are hungry, the paradise is a bite of millet rice; when you are thirsty, the paradise is a well of water; when you are tired, the paradise is a house of wheat straw...

So they understood why there was a nine-story paradise.

When eating raw meat and drinking blood, slash-and-burn farming is a paradise; when slash-and-burn farming is a paradise, Dayu controls floods; when clan disputes, Xia Ding Tian is a paradise... As for whether this is true, they have never read "Mandarin" anyway, and they don't even know the words, so what does Suishi say?

The paradise at that time was not the paradise at this time, and the paradise at this time would not be the paradise at that time.

For them, the Nine-Level Paradise is too far away to even be imagined.

So they learned what the fifth level of paradise looks like, and it sounds so beautiful and worth doing for it.

Such a picture appears in people's minds in the umami taste of fish soup.

From Sushen in the extreme north to Baiyue in the wilderness; from the coast of the East China Sea in Penglai to Kunlun where Emperor Mu drove, the Xia Dynasty was unified and there was no competition.

To do its best to the land, as long as it is cultivated, it belongs to each family. Tax exemption for the first five years, and one for fifteen years later.

This tax was not for unjust struggle for hegemony, but for building river embankments and resisting Rongdi who came to loot, and for supporting officials.

At that time, officials took the wise, so that the noble ones would not always be noble, the lowly ones would not always be humble, and they would like to be virtuous.

The ink man draws the essence of grass and trees and condenses it into a kind of silk that can write, which is as cheap as hemp and as light as a cicada's wing. Therefore, everyone reads and reads and reads, is familiar with the ambition of heaven, and chooses the most virtuous and the most capable of understanding the ambition of heaven.

At that time, every family had a cow. Behind the cow was a plowshare made by the ink mastering the will of heaven, and they could cultivate dozens of acres of land a day.

As long as you have the strength, you can reclaim those deserted wastelands. The officials selected in five years will measure these lands and issue a contract taken from the essence of grass and trees as thin as cicadas' wings to determine their ownership.

At that time, officials were familiar with the calculation of heaven. Even if they were round and had more angular land, they could accurately calculate the number of acres, which was no good.

At that time, a crop called ghost cloth was planted in the fields. When the fire broke out in July, the white flowers bloomed like flying snow.

These white flowers can be woven into cloth and do not need to be soaked and peeled. The most diligent woman can spin a new yarn in a few days.

The cloth is as white as snow. Although it is not as good as silk, it has a high yield and can have two clothes a year for common people.

At that time, there were three new grains in the field.

It looks as big as a child's arm, and the grains are arranged densely on it, as crystal clear as jade, like the cleanest teeth of the noble girl, which is adorable.

This new valley can be planted on barren mountains, and now the land that is not available is also useful. This new valley can rub two small liters of grains in one.

The other two grow underground, each of which is as big as a woman's feet. The taste is like the kind of jujube sent from Chu that princes and nobles eat, and it is glutinous like cooked millet.

Moreover, the yield per mu of these new valleys is even higher, so high that if people grow hundreds of acres, not only will the whole family be able to eat, but they can also raise some chickens, pigs, dogs, and pigs, or exchange them for money or eat them by themselves.

At that time, every family could eat a chicken or a few kilograms of sheep every year during the winter solstice.

In addition to these three new valleys, many vegetables grow on lands from Sushen to Baiyue, from the East China Sea to Kunlun.

There is a kind of dish that looks like a fire in color, and it tastes like the tip of the tongue is burned by fire. After eating it in winter, it is covered in sweat.

There is a kind of vegetable that looks like a ghost finger, crispy and sweet as honey, color like meat. If you encounter spring frost in the desert and plant three acres, the whole family will be free from hunger.

At that time, each family would have three or five bad gold farm tools. They were much cheaper than gold and copper, but they were better used than gold and copper.

People from the Mohist family would build workshops to smelter evil gold. The evil gold was taken from the ground and was endless and could produce thousands of pieces every day.

At that time, there would be a kind of loss of bows, and the stupidest people could learn it in three months, so those enemies who were greedy for wealth could not support it. The soldiers of the nine provinces should be worth five, so fifteen taxes were enough.

At that time, there would be a kind of stone sintered from clay to build houses, and no longer be afraid of the bites of worms and ants. The window would be covered with cheap silk made of grass and trees, as thin as cicada wings, without fear of wind and rain.

At that time, ditches would be dug, water would be collected during drought, and flood would be discharged during floods. Several canals would be built, including fish from the East China Sea, vinegar from Luoyang, zhe from the Chu area, and wheat from the Song area, which would meet each other. The nine provinces would be circumferenced, and each would be circumferenced. The Youzhou would be steered to cross the sea and transported; the Jingzhou would be steered to the rice from Bashu area and down the river...

At that time, the saint will be chosen as the emperor as Mr. Mo Zhai said. This saint is a person who is well aware of all the ambitions of heaven. If not, the king and the ministers will make the agreement. Only by the law are the emperor, there will be officials under the law, and everyone will be equal. Even if a prince is the prince, he cannot violate the law and act.

If you violate the law, everyone will punish you. If you fight unjustly, everyone will spit on you. If you punish you, you will be determined by heaven and will arrive at the land of happiness. If everyone follows it, the land of happiness can be built in Jiuzhou.

Such a simple description does not have any fantasy of being unearned, but just a feudal dynasty in the so-called "prosperous era".

But even so, it is enough to make the people in these villages and communities fascinate and even feel a little out of reach.

As for what they occasionally heard about in the next level of the Promises, they didn't think about it at all, that was too far away.

Because how could a woman be able to spin ten spindles at a time? How could a black stone replace firewood? How could a colorless and transparent thing like water be installed on the window to block the wind and rain?

Besides, the fifth level of paradise is enough. The rest is left for the descendants. I just want to see the fifth level of paradise in my life. How dare I hope to expect it?

People in the village never thought of what kind of valley can be as thick as a child's arms? What kind of dish can be as crispy as honey and as sweet as meat? What kind of method can make evil gold not easily broken and cheap? What kind of plowshare can make a cow pull it?

But people always have the power to fantasy, and even the most humble people should have it.

While they were fantasizing, they didn't know that some of the grains and vegetables in these fantasies would soon appear before their eyes.

By then, the theory of the paradise is no longer a fantasy, but becomes a possibility - since the three grains of vegetables are real, the rest must be true, and it is also the paradise calculated by the familiar Tianzhi Tiangui.

And the reeds and reeds that have seen corn and carrots, and finally understand that what they have to do is far more grand than they thought. The Mozhe also has some understanding of what he does. They will not say it because they know that they will harvest soon.

The terrible thing about prophecy is that it is half true and half false. When the half truth appears, no one can guarantee that what is left is not true, if not, it just failed.

At this time, no one can make such a prediction except for appropriateness.

And when part of this prophecy is realized, the remaining prophecies become the direction for everyone to work for.

Half true, who can guarantee half false?

When corn, sweet potatoes, carrots, cotton and other things that are only available in the fantasy of the paradise really appear in front of you, who dares to say that ox plowing, iron, paper, and exams are not practical?

If there is a prophecy and is realized partly, then you can grasp the right to interpret the Tianzhi.

At that time, no matter who made it, you can use this prophecy to say that this is the will of heaven.

Although shameless, it is effective.

…………

In front of the village pottery jar, facing the smile, looking at these intoxicated farmers, I knew in my heart that even if I had finished the first step, it would be the most difficult step.

The dreams and laughter of these farmers seemed so cheap to him.

He was not from a high school in his previous life, but even so, he looked down on the fifth paradise he described. No matter how good the feudal dynasty was, he could not keep up with everything that the most ordinary person had in his previous life.

But for these farmers, it was like flies seeing carrion, and they plunged in and never wanted to come out again.

After learning for so many years in his previous life, the most useful thing he learned is to grasp and resolve conflicts.

The contradictions in the world are obvious now, and there are only three things.

In times of great struggle, princes will have disputes, so if you pay more attention to taxes and taxes, you will be destroyed. Unification may not necessarily be lighter in corvee service, but if you don’t have great unification, you will definitely not be lighter in corvee service. This is a necessary and inadequate condition, but it is a necessary condition.

The nobles divided the feudals and bound the serfs, thus bound the productivity of labor. Free farmers, with determined property rights, can reclaim more land when there are few people and more land.

The tools are backward and the iron has not annealed, so the level of productivity is insufficient. The contradiction at this time is not about inequality, but about the lack of trouble. The vast land is everywhere, with less than 25 million people in the Jiuzhou. There is no danger of inequality within two hundred years.

These three things complement each other. Whoever can resolve these three contradictions can unify the world. Whoever can discover these three contradictions can become the most powerful among the hundreds of schools of thought.

But the second seemingly simplest contradiction has already stumped countless people. People like Wu Qi were shot to death, people like Shang Yang were broken up by a car, and the battles between countless nobles and kings, and countless internal power disputes, many of them are just for this.

Wei State only solved a small part of the second point and could become the most powerful country in the early Warring States Period. Even if the Chu State had good conditions for the defeat of Wuyang and the decline of the power of the nobles, and had talents like Wu Qi, they would eventually die in vain.

Shi is not a fan of the dynasty, nor is he a national control.

In his opinion, it doesn’t matter where you go in the future. Whether it is Qin or Chu, just Xia.

But no matter where you go, you must ensure that there are enough people to use it.

Even if it was a reform, he would ensure that after destroying the old nobles, there would be enough people who believed in the Tianzhi of the Paradise and learned to recognize words and arithmetic farming and river repair techniques to replace the old nobles; and there would also be self-cultivating farmers who trusted him and believed in the Tianzhi of the Paradise to withstand waves of aristocratic counterattacks.

He didn't want to be broken by Shang Jun and Wu Qi to be shot to death, so he had to take action without mercy and kill him completely when he had the chance.

After the killing is over, let the emerging landlords and industrial and commercial classes make up for it. Practice has proved that if you don’t read the "Zhou Li" you can govern the country, and if you don’t eat with a knife, fork, spoon, but like the Zhou Li nobles, you can’t die like chopsticks and chopsticks.

This is the general trend, and even using paper and printing techniques well can ensure that even things like Han and Jin clans cannot be released.

This kind of deformed thing can appear because of the limitations of information dissemination technology. They were the priests who had the right to interpret the Bible in the Middle Ages, and paper and printing would blow them to pieces.

The one who destroyed the family was Cai Lunhe's woodblock printing.

The Master did not want to be a saint, but he could not resist the force of his descendants to be a saint. When Confucius was writing the Spring and Autumn Period, he was inevitably wrong in copying bamboo slips, so he accidentally copied Zhongsun He Ji's name into Zhongsun Ji. However, since later generations regarded him as the leader of the saint, the saint certainly could not make mistakes. Even if he was shit, he had a deep meaning. So he interpreted the scriptures with meaning, thinking that this was deliberately copied by Saint Confucius, in order to ridicule those whose names were double-character. The dynamic Confucianism was changed to Confucianism.

The great Confucian successor, practitioner, retro, and the true Confucian idealist Wang Mang, once he was in power, he was completely retro. He was not allowed to name two words in the Han people. In the world, he could not find anyone who abides by the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period more than him. This was the most devout believer, but in the end he was accustomed to the treacherous and became a synonym for treacherous and treacherous. How unfair?

Of course, due to limitations, the Mohist school also has many dregs, and some of them are even powerful, especially in the matter of Minggui.

But the advantage of the Mohist school is that it is easy to change something.
