Chapter 251 The Heart of King Mi Bing of Jing and Song Dynasty (9)
Although the King of Chu thought that Mozhe's words made sense, he was still cautious.
After hearing what happened, the King of Chu thought for a while, and felt that it was quite beneficial to him and seemed to see nothing wrong.
And as he heard what he said, it seemed that the Mo family was preparing to sell the weapons that were like thunder-torn power used by the night attack last night to him. This was an unexpected surprise.
In the camp, he saw with his own eyes the chaos caused by the elite Mohist army with gunpowder, and also saw with his own eyes the shock caused by the moment when he broke through the camp, and he cared about this thing very much.
Originally, he had no idea about this possibility.
In the eyes of the King of Chu, this was like some secret methods passed down by the Mo family, or the secret weapons used to defend the city, and it was impossible to show it to others easily.
The unexpected surprises that Shi brought him made him more careful while being surprised.
But he was going to join Song Cheng to sack the army. It seemed that the matter of Pengcheng, Pei County, did not need to be discussed at all, because the King of Chu knew that Pei Yi was not granted to the Mo family, but still belonged to Song Gong.
Thinking of this, he seemed to understand the meaning of the Mo family and asked, "Now in the battle, is Song Gong going to enfeoff your Mo family's land of hundreds of miles?"
Shi shook his head and said, "Mr. Song cannot use the righteousness of his master, so the gentleman will not sell his righteousness with the land of a hundred miles."
"It's just that Pei County has iron smelting gunpowder and other workshops. The implication of your failure to move troops is that you can tell the world that if Qi, Han, Zhao, Wei and other states have the possibility of sending troops to Pengcheng, Pei County, you will definitely send troops to support the people of Pei County."
It is not without precedent to occupy a special place in the covenant as a city, and this is not a shocking world.
The first military sanctions were attended by monarchs from all countries themselves.
But the second military meeting was attended by powerful doctors from various countries. However, at that time, Jin and Chu were too strong and the rest of the countries were too weak. The second military meeting was a gathering of the Cold War of Jin and Chu that was demarcated by the sphere of influence.
A small country sandwiched between Jin and Chu may either belong to the sphere of influence of Jin or the sphere of influence of Chu.
However, the Song State, which promoted the Suppression Association, had the kings in Jin, and the ruling officials in Chu, and neither side dared to offend them.
Today is different from that of the past.
Back then, the Song people were besieged so much that they could not hold on, so they were considered as asking for peace, so they could not be equal to the Chu people, so they could only choose to ask questions.
This time, the Song people relied on their own strength to capture the King of Chu and forced the Chu people to form an alliance to sign a contract. The relationship between the two sides was an equal recruitment, not an unequal court, so this matter must be made clear.
Shi hopes that the King of Chu will inform the world and use the attitude of the King of Chu to declare the particularity of Pei County: it is nominally affiliated with the State of Song, but it is diplomatically independent of the State of Song.
At the same time, it was actually selling the State of Song: If the King of Chu said that anyone who attacked Pei County was equivalent to going to war with Chu, then if Pei County was attacked by Doctor Song, the King of Chu could also be given a reason to send troops.
In fact, if it is appropriate to the Song people, then this matter can be regarded as "respecting foreign powers", which has given Song Gong and the Song State doctor a clearer understanding of the status of Pei County.
Shi realized that he was not from Song at all, so he sold Song for granted.
After thinking about it, the King of Chu asked, "If you say this, what benefits can the Chu people get?"
"Of course, there are endless subways, food, and gunpowder that can be sold to you. If you don't even agree to this, then obviously in our Mohist family's opinion, you are not willing to benefit the world."
"So if you do not agree, we will strictly prohibit any iron and gunpowder from flowing into Chu State on the grounds that you have no desire to benefit the world."
"I think if you don't agree, the Jin people will definitely be very happy. I am happy that you don't agree and they agree."
The King of Chu was extremely helpless by Shi's improper words and laughed: "Can a small Pei County be related to Li Tianxia?"
Shi was extremely skilled in the quibbling of the arguments and asked back: "You can't even benefit a Pei County, so how can you benefit the world?"
The King of Chu laughed and said, "Aren't your Mo family mortal enemies of Confucianism? As you said, Confucianism will first cultivate oneself and then manage the family, and finally restore the world's rituals and music. What's the difference?"
Shi Xiaoxiao said, "The truth is the same. The difference is that the future world they see is not the same as the future world we see."
Shi calmed down his smile again and asked, "Are you really going to listen to the truth?"
When the King of Chu heard the sound, he said for a long time: "Sir, let's talk about profit. I like profit, which is better than righteousness."
Shi nodded and said, "Then isn't this profit? If you declare that the world is attacking Pei, it is equivalent to fighting with Chu. We will guarantee that we can provide you with iron gunpowder, etc."
"The Mo family has a will, just like the craftsman has rules, so whether it is beneficial to the world and whether it can cooperate with it is in our hands. You can accept it or not. But the rules remain unchanged, and we can also use rules to measure everything you do, whether it is beneficial to the world or harm to the world!"
"If you want to hear why doing this is a benefit to the world, I can tell you. But are you willing to listen?"
The King of Chu was speechless again, thinking that it was beneficial to the world or not, and it was up to you to measure it, so this was naturally the final say.
But if it is replaced by Zhou Li, isn’t it the same? There are rules to follow whether the Zhou Li was violated back then, but if you violated it before, you would be attacked by the emperor and the princes.
Now the Mohist family seems to have no power to restrain the world and protect its own rules, nor to make the Mohist rules the power of the world's rules, but they have the advantages of technology and weapons, and use the situation of the world's numbers to maintain this rule.
If you think about it carefully, it is no different.
The King of Chu thought for a moment and sighed: "I understand that you must have a reason, and it is not that you cannot agree to this matter. If you just agree, what other benefits will there be?"
"If I agree, then Sanjin and Qi will definitely agree. You will also sell iron tools and gunpowder to Sanjin and Qi, but I did not get any more benefits."
Shi smiled and said, "You still don't understand the word "true" mentioned by our giant. Now that you agree, you will get a piece of jade bi. If you don't agree, you won't get a piece of it."
"So, can't you tell the difference between what is profit and what is harm? What you shouldn't think of now is not to get two jade bis, but to hold the first jade bi in your hand first."
This is already extremely shameless, and it means the ruler of the world.
The King of Chu pondered for a long time and finally said, "In the alliance, I will swear to the Emperor of Heaven and the Ghosts and Gods, and talk about the affairs of Pei County."
After saying that, the other Mo people present in Gong Zaoye nodded at Shi to show their appreciation, and understood that Shi had gained enough benefits for the Mo family itself and also won a good diplomatic situation for the Mo family.
The King of Chu made a statement, so he could use this statement to force the Three Jins and Qi to express his statement, and at the same time, he also added a lot of pressure to the doctors and ministers of the State of Song who were dissatisfied with the affairs of Pei County.
After the King of Chu agreed to this matter, he asked again: "If you want to benefit the world, Chu is also one of the world. Is there no other means besides providing iron tools?"
Shi was already ready and hurriedly said, "Of course."
"You can choose five hundred craftsmen to fill in the Pei family."
"In addition, from your treasury, we will support some young scholars to study in Peidi."
The King of Chu was stunned and smiled for a moment, "I can only see this matter benefiting you Mo family, but I don't know how to benefit me? Pei is in Song, not Chu, and I can't see this matter benefiting you Chu!"
Shi also smiled and asked back: "Do you think Chu State does not need change?"
The King of Chu replied: "The State of Chu naturally needs change, but what does the change have to do with what you said? I am interested in the matter of moving the lord and strengthening the law and monarchy. But I have not seen any connection with what the lord said now."
The so-called equal negotiation is a result that both parties believe is beneficial to them, otherwise the negotiation will not continue.
Even though the King of Chu was temporarily captured, the Mo family did not dare to touch him, so there was no coercive treaty.
After all, it is still driven by interests.
What is the benefit of the world when talking to the king is often the same thing, and what really can touch them is the benefit.
Shi stood up and said, "Now if the clans such as Qu, Jing, Zhao, Xiang, Mo Ao all declined, and the Chu State did not have foreign nobles such as Han, Zhao, Weizhi. So in this case, can you change?"
"How do you implement your decree? Who should you discuss with the formulation of decrees? Where are the wise men who control the people? Who can fight for you when you are in danger?"
"Nothing this is true, so even if you want to change, you will have to wait for a while, waiting for you to have enough talented people who can replace those with the nobles inside and outside the country."
"If you have hundreds of people who are as talented as ink now, but are not a man of ink, do you think it will be so difficult to change?"
The King of Chu was silent.
Shi said again: "Besides, before I learned Mo, my two masters had traveled all over the Jiuzhou and knew that there were iron ore in Chu, so they could mine it, right in Wanyi!"
"You filled in with five hundred craftsmen in Pei. After you have finished your studies, can you mine it yourself?"
"Smelting iron tools is just one of the means by which the Mo family benefited the world. The Mo family has few disciples and cannot spread all over the world. And even if the local Song people have learned it, are they willing to go to Chu thousands of miles? They can't speak well and have different habits. In the end, the Chu people you filled in will be able to return to Chu State to mine and smel.
The King of Chu thought for a long time and finally said, "As Mr. said, if Chu changes, wouldn't it take more than ten years to wait?"
Shi nodded and said, "It's like boiling water and boiling cocoons. Do you think it's meaningless to burn firewood in advance without the time for water to boil?"
"King Wen and Wu Kings, two generations of times attacked Zhou of Shang. The Chu people's fiefdom was fifty miles away, and they were struggling for hundreds of years before they could reach the title. Han, Zhao and Wei fled with Jin Wen, and after several generations, they could be granted a title. Even King Zhuang would take three years to accumulate strength and rise."
"Your current situation is that you have nobles and nobles inside and strong Jin Dynasty outside. Do you still hope that the transformation will be successful in three years?"
"In the third year of King Zhuang, you can soar into the sky. In the third year of your life, you can only turn into powder."
