When the village community heard the news of war, they had no intention of doing things.

This time, in addition to King Shu Qing, there were four other people in the village, all of whom had fought the Battle of Shangqiu, or later became the commander of the sergeant or Sima Chief in the army.

Seeing this, King Shu Qing simply asked everyone to stop and sat down by the pond where the paper was soaking, and told him about his going to Peiguo this time.

There are 120 villages and communities, and now there are twenty in the army, twenty returning farmers, and eighteen are going to go to the charity army to serve in the winter.

There are four people who are going to Peiguo together tomorrow.

Since they said they wanted to fight, they might return to farming and those who returned to work in the country would return to the construction, and those who would need to serve in the training this winter may also participate in transportation logistics and other matters.

This is not a small battle like the restoration of Teng Kingdom in spring. There was no general mobilization in that battle, and the people in Pei County basically did not feel any changes.

But now, judging from the rumors from the riders, this battle may last for a year, and the young labor force in the village and community will basically be drained, so we have to discuss it.

Shu Qingwang was not only a representative of the Mozhe's village and community, but also a representative of public opinion elected by the village community. These two identities are integrated, but the matters that are responsible cannot be integrated.

Most of the villages gathered by the pond, and no one said anything. Those who had returned who had served in the righteous army looked at Shu Qing and waited for him to speak.

King Shu Qing stumbled for a long time and looked at the people in the village and said, "I think this battle will definitely start. I think I have to fight. In short, life is good now, and I can't forget the foundation. The Mozhe said that we have to work and create wealth, but we used to work endlessly, but we didn't live such a life... Now, the world is not the same except us? The princes and nobles don't have to do anything, so we live a good life. We don't want to go back to what we used to be."

"Why is that... what's the song? The river is dry, the river is clear and ripe. It's not crops or crumbs, and it's three hundred grains? Right?"

The 100 people said one after another: "I can't forget my true nature. Since others don't recognize the rules here, I have to fight. It's nothing to fight a war. In the past, when the Mo family didn't come, they could serve in the army and had to do labor... but..."

A few people wanted to speak but stopped. Shu Qingwang smiled and said, "If you have anything, just say it. Since I am a mourner who is determined to benefit the world, isn't I also the village community representative you selected?"

One of them saw that the rest did not say anything, so he had to stand up and said, "A lot of it will be taken away by Qingzhuang in this war..."

King Shu Qing hurriedly said, "Didn't this principle be said long ago? Now the war is to not fight in the future. If all the princes and nobles in the world are willing to let us live such a life, why do we need to fight?"

The man said that, "I don't mean that. Everyone understands this principle. I mean, if you take away most of the land in one go, you will definitely not be able to grow it. What I mean is that if you lack Peiguo, will it mean that the village will say whether the tax will be exempted next year? This tax is levied according to the land, and I didn't say it, but I guess the village will not be able to grow so much land next year."

He was right. If there were 120 households in the village, if they really wanted to fight, there would be fifty or sixty people transferred to the army to serve, and there would be civil servants who followed the army. Most of the strong laborers in the village were emptied.

Based on land, half of the labor force is collected, and many arable land is simply too busy, especially some labor-intensive crops.

A few young people in the village started to make a fuss and said to the middle-aged man with a little ridiculous sarcastic moment: "In the past, when princes and nobles were there, they were recruiting military service, but I didn't see you bargaining like this. Who dares? Now they dare..."

This speech is a bit ridiculous. Young people think less and listen more. They often listen to some propaganda of the ink masters, and they can't help but think more simply.

The middle-aged man was a little worried, knowing that this was right. In the past, the common people had no power to speak. The noble lords asked you to do whatever they asked you to do, and they needed public fields in spring, weeds in summer, repair huts in autumn, and perform martial arts in winter... No one dared to say anything, at most, just sing a few lines of "Shadow Sandalwood" and "July" and so on, and complain.

King Shu Qing looked at the young people and smiled and said, "That's not what he said. The Mo family is for the benefit of the world. This is for the benefit of the world, and there are big profits and small profits, long profits and short profits. But after all, it is for the benefit of the world and the people. We are all the people in the world. We have to say what we want, which is normal."

When the middle-aged man heard what Shu Qingwang said, his face finally recovered and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. Just like my family, two people served, the land at home must be less than twenty acres before he could get busy. But the taxes still have to be collected according to the number of acres in the past..."

He just said that, trying to win. After all, when the Mo family was in the village and community, they asked each village and community to select representatives to make public wishes, they once said that they could put forward their own ideas.

Although the differences such as long-term profit, short-term profit, large profit, and small profit need to be answered by the people of the Xuanyi tribe of the Mohist school, it does not hinder everyone from coming up with any ideas before the answer.

Shu Qingwang was the one who was a man of the Mo, and he thought of what he said to him before returning home: "You are a man of the Mo, and you can spread the concept of the man of the Mo, but you cannot ask those who are not a man of the Mo to benefit the world."

He is the representative of public opinion selected by the village community, so he still has to listen to this. As for whether it is possible or not, it is not his concern. Besides, even if he wants to manage and reason, he has to wait until he has gone to Peiguo for a meeting and understand what the truth is before he can tell everyone.

So he took out a small notebook from his arms, took out a charcoal stick, wrote a few words and said, "Then I will mention this matter. What else is there? Everyone is thinking about it, and when I go to Peiguo, they will also say it."

After asking this, everyone calmed down and said, "There is nothing else. There is another small thing, that is, the iron pot we heard can produce a lot of it every day, but it is not sold in counties and townships. Most of it is transported away by merchants along the river... Go and ask, when can we buy it? Money is not a problem..."

Many people in the village community have the confidence to say that money is not a problem. King Shu Qing nodded and said, "Sure, then I'll ask too, mention this matter. If everything else is fine, let's break up today."

"If you return, it's time to go back and prepare, just prepare. I guess that all villages and communities will agree to fight this battle."

"Military uniforms, food, and charity masters all give it. But I also prepare some lard, wheat cakes and other foods, and I also bring some money. I only need to fight in one or two days, and I am still in the camp..."

He has rich experience and knows that fighting is mainly about training and walking. He can only decide the outcome in one or two days if he really fights to the death.

Everyone responded, said something else, and dispersed.

King Shu Qing returned home and teased the child for a while. His wife and mother prepared supper and went to buy some wine. The family had not separated and they were eating at the table.

The wife didn't say anything, and my father took a sip of wine. The atmosphere on the table was less joyful than usual and more sorrow of separation.

King Shu Qing thought about his family affairs and said, "I am studying in Peiguo, and I am going to go on a war again. My brother may have to transport grain with the army. I will really have to plant less land next year."

"I think the more than 30 acres of land near the river will be flooded with water. One can stop the fields and the other can't plant them and wait for me to come back and put them in water, and there is no grass."

"The foal asked my younger brother to let him go and let him go and do his job as long as he should. Don't be too spoiled. How can there be cattle and horses who are born to be able to work? They are all practiced since childhood..."

After giving a few instructions, my father nodded and said, "I know, I'm going to do this if you don't say it. Hey, you go to the village to study and hold a meeting every two months, and you know a lot. Look at how long it takes to fight with Yue Kingdom? You can't... keep fighting like this, right?"

King Shu Qing shook his head and said, "How could I know. But if I beat them all, I have to fight them and don't need to fight them later. The master and Qi Wulai knew it in my heart. I know this truth, how can they not know it?"

The old father yelled and said, "That's true. I have never seen your giant, but I have been to our house before digging the canal a few years ago. I think those of you Mo family are all wise men, so I should understand this."

"But if you really want to fight, then fight. Isn't your Mo family arguing? I understand that this unrighteous country must be beaten with righteousness."

"You said, what you said in "The Paradise of Promising" is that the world is stable and there are few wars. When will it arrive?"

King Shu Qing listened to his father saying "You Mo Family", and couldn't help laughing. He held his mouth for a long time and said, "The days in "The Paradise" were enough to be consistent with the rules of our Mo Family. Last year, I went to study in the village and said that the Tangwu Revolution... What did you say? The revolution is to force some to accept the will of another part of people."

"That is to say, you see our rules, the princes and nobles are definitely not willing to accept them. They are unwilling to accept them, so they have to find a way to let them accept..."

When he was about to talk, his father waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to tell me this, I understand. Just like when you were caught and punished when you escape, you were caught. Isn't this the princes and nobles forced us to accept it? I'll ask you, do you say that the world is so big and Peixian is so small, can everyone in the world accept our rules?"

King Shu Qing said solemnly: "How can you, why can't you? If it were before, who would believe that I could push the spear within five feet of the King of Chu?"

Speaking of his most proud heroic work, the atmosphere at the dinner table finally became lively, but his wife kept her head shut, occasionally smiling but soon showed a sad look.

At night, King Shu Qing went around the stable and habitually added fodder. When he came back, his wife had already prepared the burden of leaving tomorrow.
