Chapter 26: Taoism is different

Twenty days later, in the peasant courtyard, Confucius and others gathered together again.

But this time their identities were very different. The last time they came, they ate rice steamed buns. This time, they ate roasted chicken, roasted whole lamb, and roasted pigs. They no longer drank cold and white wine, but rice wine and rice wine.

As Confucius and others are at this moment, of course, they can directly build a large yard in the town for a meeting, but it is difficult to keep it secret if it is inconvenient.

It’s not like this place. The yard is hundreds of square meters in size, and behind the yard is dozens of acres of land. Whether people can hide people or whether anyone can eavesdrop on it can tell at a glance.

"...This is the true disciple, so I sincerely suggest that you fellow Taoists should try to achieve extraordinary things by relying on yourself. Only in this way can you have a broader development." Mo Zi said seriously.

"It's almost time. If you practice in this world for three days, you can go out for three days. If you are considering medicinal food and someone's guidance, you can go out for ten days in this world. Before the arrival of the hundred days, it will be no problem for Qiu to achieve extraordinary success." Confucius said confidently.

"The old Taoist also had some eyebrows and eyes." Zhuangzi stroked his gray beard and said slowly.

"It's not a big problem to achieve extraordinary achievements before the end of the hundred days." Guiguzi was extremely calm.

"The plan cannot keep up with changes, and no one would have thought that the extraordinary achievement will have such a great future through self-breakthrough. Therefore, the previous plan to suppress bandits and the three-phase water conservancy project plans formulated by fellow Daoist Mo Di are all outdated." Sun Tzu said directly.

After the third phase of the water conservancy project, all 150,000 mu of land in the entire town will be transformed from dryland to paddy fields, and the yield per mu will be increased from one stone to at least three stones.

One stone of grain is in the south of the Yangtze River, and at most one tael of silver can only be sold. But in the Guanzhong land, two taels of silver start, and you don’t even think about it if you don’t want to. As for places further north, such as near the Great Wall, three taels of silver can be sold for one stone. If you don’t buy it, some people will buy it!

"As we are now, we can use some means to get all the land in Taoyuan Town! Then we can mobilize the people of the town to build together, so that the transformation can be completed in a very short time."

"150,000 mu of paddy fields, 450,000 stones of grain, and a full nine hundred thousand taels of silver. This is only one year. Even if we share the accounts with the people, we will have sixty-three thousand taels of silver!"

"And if we reclaim the remaining 30,000 mu of land, it would be 540,000 stones of grain, 1,080,000 taels of silver, and 750,000 taels of 300 cents of the money every year." At this point, Helu happily stroked his beard.

As for whether the gentry here will resist, is it true that the name of the true disciple of the great sect is fake?

They did not have Jinshi, and there were only one juren and few scholars. They said they were gentry and they were all praised. To put it bluntly, they were just a group of country landlords.

The true disciple of the great sect killed the imperial prefect. If he was unlucky and found out on the spot, he would have to become an abandoned disciple.

But if you kill a juren, it is really not a big deal!

As for the landlords and tyrants who killed the countryside, no one would care about this little thing.

Zhao Wuxiu thought about the huge sum of 750,000 taels of silver a year, which was very good even if it could only be used in the Ming world.

"Ahem, from a political perspective, this matter is indeed not worth mentioning. If you think the killing is too much, we can just expel these gentry. As for the people, we will share the 30% and 7% of the accounts." At this point, Zhao Wuxiu glanced at Nanzi.

Nanzi immediately spoke, "Although the 37-cent account sounds like there is no difference between the gentry and the previous treating tenants, from now on, the people here will also be protected by us. The hometown of the true disciples of the great sect is enough to ensure that this place is not exploited by minor officials."

"The people here are only more than 20,000 yuan. Even if they are 30,000 yuan, they can earn 320,000 taels of silver every year. If there is no exploitation by the minor officials, then on average, each person will have 16 taels of silver every year, which is already considered a well-off family."

At this moment, Nanzi, Helu, and Zhao Wuxu talked happily!

Helu tells about the benefits of money!

Zhao Wuxiu told that this move would not have any consequences!

Nan Zi explained how lucky the lives of the people here are after being protected by the true disciples of the great sect, and how wonderful life is in a well-off family!

"A well-off family is really the most suitable for them. If they get more money every year, they will be unwilling to give up. If they are unwilling to give up, they will go to the county town and the prefecture to make a breakthrough. But it is definitely not a place where ordinary poor boys in the countryside can make a living. In the end, 99% of them will fail, so this is also for their own good." Nan Zi said sincerely.

Listening to the words of Zhao Wuxiu, Helu, Nanzi and others, Mozi smiled disdainfully. The meat eaters are despised. These nobles and Mozi can't pee in the same pot in the sky!

Of course, Mo Zi did not despise the three people on the stage. No matter what, everyone can be regarded as pen pals, he despised the entire aristocratic class!

The truth is different and we don’t plan for each other!

It’s not that Zhao Wuxiu and the other two are wrong. On the contrary, in today’s era, as Nan Zi said, 30% of the accounts are provided at the same time to protect local residents from being exploited by minor officials, and it is already a treasure land like a paradise.

Giving them more benefits will not only not make their lives better, but may instead do bad things with kindness.

The greed of officials is infinite. When Mo Zi and others leave, if the local people are too rich, then some officials can do something to trouble the people and can completely make the people lose their money. On the surface, they still have no penny to the officials.

But what made Mo Zi disgusted was the high-ranking superiority between the words of Helu and others: it was all for the people!

I can go to yours!

Become a bitch and want to set up a archway!

If you want money, just say it, no one will feel that it is wrong. But after using the people's labor to earn money, you have to act like I am good for you, which is too ugly!

However, Mo Zi had long had enough understanding of the noble's face, so he just disdained and was not disappointed.

But Confucius felt a little uncomfortable at this moment!

Confucius himself was barely considered aristocratic and a member of the nobles. But this does not mean that Confucius was able to exploit the lower class people just like other great nobles.

Confucius has always had a dream of revitalizing the Lu Kingdom and reviving the Zhou Li.

In his dream, the nobles should be polite and observant. The nobles should be kind to the people, rather than being as greedy as they are in front of them. At least you have to do superficial skills, right?

At this moment, Confucius was entangled between conscience and background. His origin told him that you were also a nobleman, and you should accept all this with confidence. It was just a group of Guizhou leaders who let them live a well-off family and were already good enough for them!

However, life experiences and learning experiences since childhood told Confucius that meat eaters are despised, and it is wrong to do this!

This shouldn't be like this in this world!
