Chapter 61 Kidnapping

Etiquette and law are destroyed by the nobles themselves.

The last fantasy of the people about the monarch is also to be destroyed by the monarch himself.

Otherwise, the people will always believe that some radical propaganda of the Mohist school may not be correct. Only after being slapped in the face by the monarch, can they realize that there is no good monarch in the world at all.

Just like in later Russia, the Tsar was the "little father" of the people. When he was the "son" holding the portrait of the little father to petition for change, what was greeted was not the care of the little father, but the warm bullets, and then he woke those who had fantasies.

Now the king of Fei is praised too highly by the Mo family's strategy of killing. It is no longer as simple as his father. It has become an illusory entity of the sovereignty of a country. It seems that the meaning of the existence of a monarch should be to seek profit for the people.

If you can't do it, you will definitely be unqualified. This is the right to speak.

The disgusting thing about beating and killing is that the king and nobles cannot stand up and tell the people directly: "We want to eat your flesh and blood, and our purpose of existence is not for you to make profits."

So, this is a dead end without any solution.

When Meng Sheng and others walked into the palace of the king of Fei Kingdom, the ending was already destined.

Among the more than forty conditions for reform, the first is to completely force the monarch and nobles to oppose it.

The first article says that we must distinguish between taxes, taxes, and service, and clarify the differences between taxes, taxes, and service, and require the nobles to pay taxes consistently and pay military taxes according to the number of fiefs they own. We may not serve labor but need to pay labor costs.

This is just the first one, and it is just a symptom treatment and does not touch the fundamental problem of land ownership.

The dozens of items below are more stringent than the first one.

This is like saying to the nobles: Please die to benefit the people.

This death is death as a class, not a physical death. However, they obviously do not want to die on their own initiative.

However, the people who still have a hint of fantasy about the monarchs and nobles still think that they must be willing to die on their own initiative.

After Meng Sheng and others entered the palace, thousands of people were waiting for news in front of the palace.

They carried simple meals themselves, chewing sweet potatoes and potatoes, waiting for news that they could be jubilant from the palace.

Xu Ruo did not go to the palace, but stood on the top floor of the mill, looking at the city, and pointing at the map that carefully depicted the important locations in the city.

Several ink masters behind him were waiting for the news, ready to go.

However, Tian Rang went to the door of the palace and organized dozens of hired workers to drive the carriage, which carried some food and drinking water on the carriage, and distributed it to the people waiting for the news.

In recent years, Tian Rang, as a non-Mo man, has been doing some good deeds. He is extremely famous in the capital of Feiguo, and may be second only to the Mo family.

When the people saw Tian Rang coming, they called Tian Xiangzi or gentleman, Tian Rang asked people to distribute food next to the carriage and asked some people about their thoughts.

As a businessman, if not as a secret Mozhe, Tian Rang is actually full of expectations for this change.

The merchant has a low status and is not a nobleman in name, and he has to pay a lot of taxes. Unless he is a big merchant who can achieve "simple seal", it is actually another way to become a partner of the monarch and nobleman.

But apart from those big merchants, small merchants and handicraftsmen do not bear less taxes than farmers. They need to pay military taxes and will be forced to join the army when necessary.

If a great businessman with a sense of political smell, he may have been prepared to riot with the people at this time, so as to accumulate talent and become a "ruling wise man."

However, Tian Rang did not take this opportunity to gain fame for himself, but told the public: "These foods are all sent to everyone by Gongzi Luan."

"In the past, Taikang lost his position, and his five sons wrote a song and sang, saying: The people can be approached but not inferior. The people only have the foundation of the country, and the country is peaceful. I regard the foolish man and wife in the world as one can defeat me, and one person will lose three losses. How can I be clear about this? I will not see this picture. I am obsessed with the people and stolen the six horses that are like a rotten rope. How can I be disrespectful to those who are the best?"

"Although Gongzi Luan has a humble status and is only a concubine, he remembers these ancient teachings clearly. He asked me to tell everyone that he agrees that the people are the foundation of the country, and that the country is the foundation is the foundation. He supports this change."

In recent years, Tian Rang has been secretly helping Gongziluan accumulate reputation. Gongziluan himself did not pay attention and had no ambitions.

However, because of the secret support of the Mo family, Gongziluan's eating habits were much better than other nobles.

With the workshop in hand, the Mo family helped to carry out reforms in his fiefdom manor. Gongzi Luan actually didn't understand it at all, but he was born in a low and humble state and was full of development. Tian Rang's friend was also considered to be Tian Rang's helping him in his friend's sense, so he let go.

When everyone heard Tian Rang say this, they thought that during the Great Wilderness two years ago, the Mohist family provided some food support, and the many nobles in the capital were only Tian Rang distributed some to the people through the name of Gongzi Luan.

After distributing the food, Tian Rang said, "I don't think there will be news in a day or two, so everyone doesn't have to wait here. Why not go back?"

A farmer smiled bitterly and said, "A gentleman is worry-free, but a farmer is suffering. This matter is just a small matter for you, but for farmers, it is related to the survival of the family. How can you not wait in a hurry?"

"The taxes are heavy, and the construction of palaces and city walls is necessary to delay the farming season. How can we not be anxious? This is our own benefit."

"For you, this profit is only one gold. When you see it, you may think it is just a woman who can lose it. For us, the profit of the same gold, and it is explained by the word "Mo family's power", which is great."

Tian Rang nodded and said, "This is the reason, I can't understand."

After he finished speaking, he was concerned for a few words, and then went back on his own, leaving only the hired workers there to distribute food and provide convenient opportunities for the people to gather.

By the way, I asked people to publicize Gongziluan's sympathy for the suffering of the people and to accumulate reputation among the people with real benefits. This is something I have been doing silently in recent years.

But as soon as Qianzuo returned to his mansion, Gongzi Luan came to the house with a hint of resentment and anger. After meeting, he didn't care about establishing it. He asked: "Now there are rumors in the city that I say that people are the country's foundation, and that people are the country's foundation...Are you harming me? You are my friend!"

Ji Sunluan was just a young man, and he was an unpopular concubine and had a concubine. He had no status in the country, his fiefdom was too small, and he had no say.

Ji Sunluan was not qualified to participate in the matter of Meng Sheng entering the palace to persuade him to do benevolent government.

He has no ambitions or political sense. Under the tide of the times, he doesn't even have the qualifications to follow the trend.

Now that such a thing happened, he was only panicked in his heart, that he would become a completely alien among the nobles in the future.

If he is just a business workshop and a stake in a business business, he is ridiculed as "not a gentleman, but does this cheap thing". If he can benefit, he will naturally not care about other people's ridicule.

But now, what Ji Sunluan said among the people today was to push him to the forefront. Because Ji Sunluan heard some rumors, the Six Lords sneered at the Mohist opinions on the reforms put forward by the Mohist family and said, "What is the benefit of the little guy, how about the country?"

No nobles are willing to make a first bird and say it clearly: The bullshit people are the country's foundation.

However, without explicit opposition, no one stood up and said: the people are the foundation of the country.

Although Ji Sunluan didn't know how to say this was equivalent to announcing that he had betrayed his class, he instinctively felt that as soon as this happened, he would completely become the object of hatred in the aristocratic circle in the future.

So when he heard these news, he immediately came to meet his "friend" angrily and asked his friend why he wanted to harm him.

At this time, there was no story about Feng Xi's Mengchangjun Xue Guoshiyi, but Tian Rang said innocently after hearing Ji Sunluan's anger: "I'm getting a reputation for you!"

Ji Sunluan said angrily and said distressedly: "You are kind-hearted. But I dare not ask for a virtuous name. Under a virtuous name, there may be a disaster for death."

"In the past, King Wen had a reputation for being virtuous and was imprisoned and imprisoned; Wen Zong had a reputation for being virtuous and was sentenced to death. Who in the world dared to have virtuous and famous? He was not a monarch, but had virtuous and famous. Isn't this going to be killed?"

"Oh! You really...I know you are for my own good, but you should ask me first. I have always admired you and thought that you, as a friend, adhere to your friend's righteousness, but...but you really hurt me this time!"

Ji Sunluan was anxious and sweating all over his head, but Tian Rang smiled and said, "What you said is wrong. Have you never heard of the story of Prince Bao of Song State?"

When Ji Sunluan heard about Prince Bao, he was so scared that he trembled all over and said, "You are also a person who has read history books. Don't you know what Prince Bao did back then?"

"The prince Bao Li was hungry for the people of the country. When the Song Dynasty was hungry, he used his grain to lend him. He was over 70 years old and was embarrassed and was more shameful and different. He counted all the talents of the country at all times. He was very concerned about all the talents of the country. He personally ate his subordinates and was very concerned about all the people."

This is not just because Gongzi Bao is doing it, but because his grandmother wants to have an affair with him, and he disagrees. However, his grandmother takes the initiative to spread the grandmother of Gongzi Bao's grandmother among the people for love, and uses his own power to support the people in the name of Gongzi Bao. In the end, Gongzi Bao finally succeeded in a coup.

Ji Sunluan emphasized his accent on the words "All day is counted at the Six Lords" and said with a bitter face: "Young Master Bao, there is no day when you don't go to the Six Lords' Gate."

"None of the six ministers in the country is harmed by the changes of the Mo family. You are asking me to support the people now. Isn't this let me cut off my own six ministers?"

"Young Master Bao can become Duke Wen of Song because he counts all day long and is at the gates of the Six Lords. What's the use of you now let me stand on the side of the untouchables? The common people are lowly, and they can use them but not rely entirely."

"Liuqing resents you, you are trying to force me to death!"

Ji Sunluan finished speaking with a bitter face, and felt a little embarrassed. It sounded like the other party had good intentions after all, so he could only be resentful.

Wei Rang looked at Ji Sunluan and suddenly changed his face slightly: "I have some confidential words and want to say them to you. Can you listen? If you don't want to listen, then just pretend I didn't say them."

In the previous exchange, the matter of Mr. Bao of Song was already mentioned, and he mentioned the secret words again. Even if Ji Sunluan was slow, he still understood what Wei Rang was going to say.
