Chapter 391: The administration and administration seek a thousand miles (4)
Three days after that battle, the army was still stationed in the camp. Shi never went to see King Yi of Yue, but there was no humiliation. However, there was absolutely no attitude towards the princes and princes as in the ritual system.
After defeating the Yue people that day, the cavalry followed him and raided the Yue people's camp seven miles away from the battlefield, captured some Yue people who were stationed in the camp, and regained a large number of spoils carried by the nobles with their army.
All these spoils must be registered and privately stored. Due to military discipline, no one dares to move them, and there is no need to serve as a warning to others.
Among these spoils, there are many valuable items, but at this point, the sword of King Yi of Yue is the most precious.
The sword body is three feet long, and the two sides of the sword grid are inlaid with glass, and the six words "Yue Wang Yi uses his own sword" are written on it.
The inlaid glass is blue, which is the extremely expensive potassium and calcium glass in Zhuxia. Craftsmen from Yue Kingdom can already burn potassium and calcium glass, but the quantity is very small and it is not passed on.
The Goujian sword in Yue Kingdom is also inlaid with glass. The Yue Wang Yi's own sword is similar to the Goujian sword. It is extremely beautiful. The potassium and calcium glass inlaid on the copper sword makes the sword worth nothing more.
After looking at the spoils seized, he did not care about the priceless sword captured by King Shu Qing, but stared at a crystal vessel in a daze. At this time, the crystal was either called Shui Yu or Yuying.
Most people in Yue use pearls and jade as coins, and they like jade and crystals very much.
Several people in charge of registration were curious when they saw Shi staring at a very smooth and transparent crystal utensil.
They knew that people like Shi, or most of the senior officials of the Mohist school, rarely use pearls and jade as treasures, and then they are buried in small quantities after death, and they need to be used for saving money. Moreover, the Mohist theory is the one to accumulate investment and development. Shi is said to have seen many amazing things when he was studying with the two masters, so when he saw Shi staring at the crystal, he couldn't help but feel strange.
While playing with the exquisite crystal vessel, I couldn't help but think of the crystal cup of anti-divide artifacts unearthed from the Wu and Yue land in later generations. I thought for a while and said to the person who was in charge of registering next to me: "Remember it, come and take this one and I'll ask Wang Yi of Yue for something."
The guard next to him went over to pick up the crystal vessel, stepped forward and signed the name on the registration form, and asked someone to inform him, calling someone to accompany him to see King Yi of Yue.
At this time, Peixian had not made a decision, so he could not negotiate with Yue Wang Yi alone, because he had to abide by the resolutions discussed collectively by the Mohist high-level officials as the bottom line before he could summon the talks.
No one had thought that he could capture King Yi of Yue before, and it was hard to say whether this battle could become an annihilation battle, so he had not discussed it before.
In recent years, I have learned some elegant and elegant voices with many noble people. I am afraid that King Yi of Yue would not communicate well with him, so I even called a Mo person from Yue.
After the group entered the room where King Yi of Yue was imprisoned, the somewhat haggard King Yi of Yue stared at Shi and asked, "Are you Shi? The commander of the Mohist charity master in this battle?"
Shi nodded and found that King Yi of Yue was just haggard and did not have any miserable symptoms such as white hair all night. At this time, in the war, except for the Korean who had killed Zheng Bo, there were few cases of killing the other king directly. King Yi of Yue was not worried that the Mo family would kill him, but was just worried about the domestic situation.
King Yi of Yue looked at Shi and snorted: "You are just a son of a shoemaker. The Mo family said equality again. You can be the commander. This shows that the Mo family has no tradition and does not talk about etiquette. Those who are noble will always be noble, and those who are cheap will always be humble. Your Mo family wants equality in the world? How is this possible?"
"In the past, people of Jin cast a punishment cauldron, and Zhongni said: Jin State will observe the laws and regulations of Tang Shu, and use the rule of the people to be governed by the rule of the people, and the ministers and officials will follow the order. The people can respect their nobles and honor them, and the nobles and nobles will respect their careers. The nobles and humbles will not be wrong, which is called the rule of duty. Duke Wen used the official who held the order and was the rule of the hut, and he thought it was the leader of the alliance. Now he abandoned this rule and became the punishment cauldron. The people are in the tripod, so how can he be noble? What kind of career is the preservation of the nobles and humbles? How can he be the country in the disorderly order?"
"You Mohist family uses the law of all people, and they say that there is no nobleness, no humbleness, so that people in the world are ministers of heaven. Let me ask you..."
"If people are equal, if there are laws and regulations, the nobles and the humble are disordered, how can they become the country?"
"You Mo family always say that you want to benefit the world, but all you do is to destroy the world, harm the world, but to make the world chaos! Without the noble and humble, how can you call the world?"
"I saw a woman again in the camp. I was afraid that the Mo family would not be able to last long."
He had to say a few more words, but found Shi staring at him with a look he had never seen before, as if he was looking at a fool.
Yigui was the King of Yue and grew up in a polite environment in his life. How could he have seen such a look?
Shi was too lazy to pay attention to King Yi of Yue and was talking nonsense here. He held the crystal device and asked, "So you own this thing?"
He was not polite tone, and he had no respect for his bloodline at all.
King Yi of Yue looked at it and saw it was a jade utensil and smiled and said, "You are not as far away as Mo Zhai. Back then, the former king hired Mo Zhai with a fief of 500 miles, but Mo Zhai refused but refused to accept it, and took righteousness as treasure. Unexpectedly, there were people in the Mo family who used jade as treasure?"
Shi shook his head and said, "The jade is buried underground for thousands of years, and no one is just a stone. In the past, Bian He cried jade in Jingshan. Later, King Wen of Chu sent jade craftsmen to cut off the purplish to obtain the Heshi Bi. The Mo family did not regard pearls and jade as treasures, but regarded the skills of those craftsmen who cut off the jade as treasures."
"I just want to ask, do these Yuying craftsmen have Langya? Where did this thing come from?"
What is suitable for attention is that the surface of this crystal vessel is extremely smooth and obviously processed, but the traces of processing cannot be detected by the naked eye. They are smooth and transparent, and look like a piece of glass without bubbles and no variegated colors.
Those who can grind crystals can definitely grind glass. He can try to burn glass, or use crystals directly, but the technology of grinding crystals is not something he can master. And glass can be regarded as the mother tool of modern science, and it is the most easily intuitively sacred object that breaks the mystery of heaven and earth.
But after hearing Shi's words, King Yi of Yue said disdainfully: "After the Xuzhou alliance, the emperor sent an envoy to confer the title of the former king Goujian as Yue Bo. Yue is no longer a barbarian. He practices Chinese politics and promotes Chinese rituals... At this time, the emperor is still there, and the Zhou rituals are the rules. You are a commoner. When you see the king, I don't know how to talk to you."
Shi smiled and knew that Wang Yi of Yue was asking for trouble, or was testing what the Mo family was doing to him.
He laughed a few times and said, "I'm afraid that you, King Yue, will end here. Your father Zhu Gou killed his father and came to power, and everyone in the world knows that you have been captured and the gentleman army has been destroyed by the righteous army. Do you have no sons and brothers? Will your sons and brothers rise to power on the grounds of "severing the Mo family's expectations"?"
King Yi's face changed. Shi's words were what he had always been most worried about, and Shi was more "scandal" than he thought. He used a reason to "stop the Mo family's expectations". If it was spread, it would give his sons and brothers a legitimate reason to take office.
At that time, for the benefit of Yue State, if you change the monarch and use the Mo family to threaten the king's life as a threat, there is no better reason than this.
King Yi of Yue couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do with the Mo family?"
Shi spread his hands and said, "Zi Mo Zi said that everyone in the world is the minister of the Emperor of Heaven, no matter whether the old or young or the noble or the low, they are all equal. Therefore, I can make a deal with you with an equal identity. I will ask you and answer you, and then you can ask me, and I will answer again. What do you think?"
Sitting aside casually, King Yi of Yue sighed and said helplessly: "That jade artifact is the palace object of the partridge when the former king destroyed Tan."
Suddenly, he heard the name of a bird, and looked puzzled on his face. A Mozhe, who was a nobleman following him, hurriedly explained: "That is the name of the last Tan Zi."
Shiqi said: "Bird's name?"
The Mozhe nodded and said, "Tan State is the descendant of Shaohao. Shaohao regards phoenix birds as his clan and later becomes emperors, and they all use birds as their official positions. The descendants also use birds as their names."
He didn't explain much, but in fact, there was an allusion involved.
Later generations Han Yu wrote "Talks of Teachers", saying that the sages had no permanent teachers. Confucius taught Tan Zi, Qian Hong, Shi Xiang, and Lao Dan.
Tan Zi was the king of Tan at that time, Viscount, and descendant of Shaohao.
At a banquet, someone asked Tan Zi, why did your ancestor Shaohao make the names of the six officials all have bird names?
This is like the evolution of Zhurong who was originally an official position but eventually became the God of Fire. It is a very complex change. After experiencing the Xia and Shang dynasties in ancient times, many cultures have gradually lost their evolution.
However, Tan State retained part of the history of ancient times. Tan Zi told that in the past, Huangdi used clouds to record events, so his officials were named after clouds; Yandi used fire to record events, so his officials were named after fire; Gonggong's family recorded events, and his officials were named after water; Taihao's family recorded events with dragons, and his officials were named after dragons.
During the time of Emperor Huang, the six tribes had already taken shape, but they were not titled "households, officials, soldiers, rituals, punishments, labourers, or Situ, Sima, and Siko". The tribes used the titles of "yellow clouds, black clouds, green clouds, white clouds, etc.".
When Shaohao was about to be a phoenix, Shaohao respected phoenixes and was in the form of tribal alliances, so he used the different bird emblems of each tribe as his official titles.
For example, swallows, shrikes, pheasants, pigeons, etc., are actually equivalent to those of Situ Sima in the Zhou Dynasty, and their responsibilities have not changed, but their names have changed.
Monarchs of all dynasties have also been named after birds, and partridge is the name of the last monarch when Tan State was destroyed by Yue.
At that time, when the young Confucius heard about this, he sighed: "The emperor lost his official position and learned from the four barbarians." He believed that some knowledge actually needed to be found in the four barbarians. In fact, it was also a breaking of the monopoly situation of "official studies monopoly knowledge" - these knowledge were originally learned by the emperor's official studies, but Confucius could even ask for advice from the four barbarians, which was even far better than the monopoly content of official studies.
The Tan State was one of the nine countries where the Mo family wanted to govern in the name of "restoring the country". The Mo people explained it slightly, so they felt relieved.
The country of Tan was destroyed only twenty or thirty years ago. I think those craftsmen did not die, and some of their techniques were not lost.
He asked again: "Does Langya have these craftsmen who can carve Yuying?"
King Yi of Yue nodded and said, "Hidden by the worker, it is not out of the way."
Shi was even more happy. He thought that it seemed that the transaction with King Yi of Yue had to be added. These craftsmen will be priceless in the future. Combined with the principles they know and combined with the techniques of these craftsmen, many things can be solved easily.
With craftsmen with the skills to grind crystals and those who know what to do with grinding crystals, those things that originally took thousands of years of evolution to be discovered "inadvertently" can appear earlier.
When King Yi of Yue saw that he showed joy on his face, he thought to himself: "Does this person like Yuying?"
But I didn't ask what I thought in my heart, but asked: "I have answered you two questions, but I also need to ask you two questions."
"How will your Mo family treat me? And how will you treat my Yue Kingdom?"
Shi said solemnly: "The method of Mo is that all major events must be gathered together and discussed, and it is determined to be synonymous, and things can only be feasible. Before this, I don't know what to do to you, nor how to treat Yue."
