Chapter 21: The squire's money is returned in full, and the people's money is divided into three and seven
"Let's go, as far as I know, these big investors also pay money. Large investors also need to pay money for water thieves. Therefore, when these big investors mention water thieves, they often hate them. How could they have any tacit understanding with these water thieves?"
"Besides, the big families in the town are all scholars, they are all polite people, and they often talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality. How could they be such a person?"
"Take the juren of the town, Mr. Li, as an example, a stone bridge in the town broke last year. It was the money paid by Mr. Li on his own initiative, and his private school. He only collected three dou of rice to enter the school. Who doesn't know what Mr. Li is good in the whole town?" Confucius retorted directly.
In his opinion, Mo Zi was already a little extreme!
Perhaps there are some scholars with corrupt morality who take the initiative to collude with the thieves, but most of the gentry are good and moral. How could they do such things as collusion with the thieves when they are repairing bridges and roads on weekdays?
"hey-hey!"
"On the surface, it seems that when a large family is busy with farming, they also need to pay money for water, but who knows whether the gentry's money is returned in full, and the people's money is 30% off?!!"
"Building bridges and roads, it is not just the wealthy families who pay for money. Who doesn't pay for money in every household in the town? Who doesn't contribute? But why do you remember only those masters when you come to Confucius?"
"Oh, I understand. Because those masters are rich and related, as the initiators, this matter can be recorded directly in the county annals. As for the common people who contribute money and efforts, in the eyes of the gentry, they are just two-legged sheep. Naturally, the county annals will not record their information!"
"In this way, after eternal eternity, later generations checked the county annals and concluded that those who built bridges and roads were all kind gentry masters. The men took the initiative to pay money to benefit their hometown. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
Speaking of this, Mo Zi sneered disdainfully.
This is just a small town, and I don’t know how dark the Ming Dynasty outside is!
There seems to be no need for such a Ming Dynasty to exist!
At this moment, Mo Zi had the idea of getting a tripod!
"Fellow Taoist, you are too extreme, it's not good to do this." Mozi insisted on his own view, and Confucius also insisted on his own view.
"Forget it, let's skip this beforehand. After breaking the water village, the truth will be clear. Now let's talk about the water conservancy project first. I don't hide it. The entire project is well operated, and the total profit is at least one million taels of silver and 180,000 mu of paddy fields, which is absolutely worth this amount!"
"But our biggest enemy is the big family in the town, the gentry! The big family is greedy, the gentry is short-sighted, and the meat eaters are despised. Otherwise, Taoyuan Town would have had 180,000 acres of paddy fields, but they would rather not build water conservancy projects and would rather have less income every year than squeeze the last son in the farmers' pockets!"
"A coincidence, I have been eyeing the group of water thieves since I came in, and I just happened to kill them. The plan was almost done." As he said that, Sun Wu stroked his beard.
"That group of water thieves were mainly strong men. The bottom-level water thieves mainly live in fishing, selling fish, and middle-level water thieves, mainly collecting water money. During the busy farming period, there was still a lot of money. The top-level water thieves, that is, the three big leaders, each of them is an extraordinary man who has cultivated extraordinary power."
"These three big leaders are also the real trump card of the water thieves. Over the years, there have been not been no tenants resisting, but even if the rebellious tenants defeat the water thieves under the leadership of the village chief, they will face the ruthless suppression of the three big leaders."
"So, my plan is like this. In a few days, Mozi and fellow Taoist Daoist will be able to achieve extraordinary results in this world. At that time, fellow Taoist Modi took the initiative to dig a well, while fellow Taoist Zhongni was responsible for revealing this news to the gentry inadvertently."
"Hmm? Why is this?" Confucius asked directly.
"It's very simple. I believe that the gentry and the thief collude, so as long as the Taoist Zhongni accidentally leaks the news, the thief will definitely get the news, and then they will send the thief and the thugs to find fault. At this time, the Taoist Mo Di is very good at fighting, and his strength is at the limit of the ordinary person."
"In this way, after defeating the spy of the pirate, one to two of the three major leaders can be attracted. If only one comes, Mo Zi and fellow Taoist join forces to ensure that he can't escape! If they are more cautious and come directly, we will lead them into the trap prepared in advance."
"Slow down, what if all three of them come?"
"Then let's change all the tactics, take the opportunity to sneak attack the water camp, rob their money, and destroy their water camp!" Sun Wu said without hesitation.
"Qiu can inadvertently reveal the plan of fellow Taoist Modi, but Qiu still doesn't believe that these gentry will really collude with the thieves." Confucius said.
...
In Taoyuan Town, Xuanmen reserves are working hard toward their goals. In the manor outside Yingdu, Xiong Yan is working hard to learn the knowledge from the various scholars.
Xiong Yan has always been very self-aware. He is not a genius like Lao Tzu or a genius like Mo Zi. His personal spiritual qualities are far from comparable to Confucius and others.
But he has one advantage, that is, he knows himself well enough!
Since I cannot innovate, I will encourage everyone to innovate and learn from everyone!
As soon as the thought moved, a projection appeared on the Book of Heaven, which was the change in the power of the Xuanmen uploaded by Mozi.
"My fellow Taoists, I am Mozi. I divided the changes in the power before the extraordinary into three categories, namely Ming Jin, dark Jin, and transform Jin."
"It is Mingjin to be able to effectively exert the strength of the body! This level is not difficult. As long as you study hard and have a teacher to give it a personal guidance, you can learn it in a few months at most."
Speaking of this, a wooden sword appeared in Mozi's hand: "I exchanged this wooden sword from the Heavenly Book. It is very cheap, only 100 cents."
With a light stab, Xiong Yan heard the sound of the sword breaking through the air.
Seeing this, Xiong Yan also took out a wooden sword from his side and stabbed it hard:...
No sound!
Use greater force to prick!
Still no sound!
After scratching his head, Xiong Yan continued to look at the projection.
"The wooden sword is relatively soft, so if you want to make a sound of breaking through the air, you must learn to use your body effectively. Let's learn from me below. The left foot is in front and right foot is behind, lift the hips and tighten the hips, separate the five fingers of the left hand, hold the hilt with your right hand tightly, and pay attention when stabbing..."
"By the way, before you exercise in reality, it is best to change into tighter clothes first, otherwise the clothes will be easily torn, and you will be injured if you are not careful."
"At the beginning, you just learn this posture. Don't think about innovating as soon as you start, and don't think about Modi being like this. I can't learn from him."
Chapter completed!
