Chapter 477
On the eve of turmoil, there is chaos.
It's like the darkness before dawn, with no moon and no sun, it's pitch black, everything has become unrecognizable, and no one can clearly distinguish it.
Perhaps one day he was an executioner proposing to massacre the people, and the next day he turned into a pioneer seeking profit for the people.
If this was just a coup, it would be normal for the nobles to unite vertically and horizontally, just like in the coup of the Song Dynasty, Taizhu jumped against the coup and the winner of the coup became Duke Song.
Like Zhe Yangzi and Ji Sunluan who were kept in the dark, the deeds of these people are indispensable factors for a coup d'état.
The Mohists value the virtuous, which is one of the core theories of the Mohists.
But before Shi appeared in this world, agricultural reforms and technological changes began in Sishang. The Mohists used most of the workshop monopoly technology income to start education, and sent a large number of people who received basic education to Sishang Village by force. Before the society, who can become a virtuous person?
At the very least, only the lowest-ranking nobles can become talents.
Because reading and literacy requires a certain amount of off-duty work. Without wealth, blood, and land, it is very unlikely to become a "virtuous" talent.
A person like Zhe Yangzi can become a "virtuous talent", because the Mohists say: if you are not righteous, you will not be rich, and if you are not righteous, you will not be expensive.And the Mohist also said that in ancient times, ten people had ten righteousness, and a hundred people had a hundred righteousness. This wealth and honor are related to righteousness, but this righteousness is not fixed.
The Mohists spent a lot of money and hibernated a lot of time on Si, all in order to make the word "Shangxian" become a real "Shangxian", otherwise it is just a continuation of the theory of blood—farmer It's not that you're not virtuous, but how can you be virtuous if you don't have money and enough time to study?
If there hadn't been Sishang's more than ten years of dormant and forbearance education, and these years of turning the barracks of volunteers into enlightenment schools, what happened in Feiguo today would not have escaped the core of a coup d'état.
It's just that the Mohists' sages provided a "justifiable name" for such a coup. In the end, the "sages" who came to power were still nobles, because only they could obtain enough knowledge.
But this time, it is different from the past, the difference lies in the Chinese people waiting for the news in front of the palace gate.
This is the first time in the history of the world that Chinese people actively pursue their own interests, because those people wearing short brown rags and holding sweet potatoes in their hands stand in front of the palace gate, so everything has become different, it is no longer a coup d'état.
When Ji Sunluan, an unpopular, half-initiated and half-induced to change his economic class, was planning with Wei Rang how to buy weapons and launch a coup.
For an old aristocratic careerist like Zhe Yangzi, in order to always be able to ride others without being ridden by others, when two days ago, the executioner who spared no effort to bleed the country for a decade was ready to transform into a standard bearer for the people and pondering the details.
When Fei Jun was hesitating whether to launch a "holy war" against the Mohists and uphold the ritual system, he was worried that the nobles would oppose because of the Mohist attacks that were close at hand.
When the nobles of the Fei Kingdom believed that this matter could be evaded by the people of the country by relying on "the ancient law is infallible, and the etiquette is innocent. The ancient system is like this and cannot be changed; the etiquette and law are respected and cannot be abolished".
The real force of this revolution was silent in front of the palace, and the silence was so long that the nobles who were good at coups had forgotten their existence.
The nobles always feel that the people can use them, but they can't rely on them, so they turn their hands around and turn their hands into rain, and one after another regicide and coup d'état just keep changing the soup without changing the medicine.
But this time, some of these silent people decided to change both the soup and the medicine.
Therefore, the incident in the capital of the Fei Kingdom was quite different from those in the past.
Among the crowd gathered in front of the palace gate, there was such a very ordinary person.
In his 30s, he has a square face, black face, short brown, and straw sandals, and his forehead is covered with wrinkles left by the sun that moisturizes everything.
Generally speaking, the people gathered in front of the palace gate looked like this.
Perhaps this person was called Kui, the sunflower of sunflower, which is a vegetable that farmers often use to replace the insufficient corn, and it is also a common name among farmers.
Or because of the local dialect, because there is no surname, people occasionally call it Aoi.
At this time, Aoi was holding a black cornbread with sweet potato noodles in her hand, and while chewing, she cursed at the people next to her: "I don't think the monarch has any intention of changing, even if he is giving birth, he is not so slow. When the wife gave birth to the third child, she pulled it out after working hard, how many days has it been?"
"If you ask me, what Xu Ruo said is quite good, but it doesn't make sense. Isn't the Mohist school reasonable and not polite? I don't think Xu Ruo has made it clear. It's not as clear as our Lian representative when we were in the righteous teacher."
"Believe in the king? Hmph... It's better to believe that tigers don't eat people, wolves don't eat meat, dogs don't eat dung, and cows don't eat grass!"
The vulgar words in his mouth did not affect Kui's appetite. This dark sweet potato noodle steamed bread tasted a little bitter, not very tasty, but it was better than his name, Kui Cai.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes were introduced to Fei country many years ago and became an important food to survive the famine years.If you want sweet potatoes to be eaten like food, you need to dry them in the sun. The dried sweet potatoes are not the bright yellow ones after they are cooked, but they are dried in the sun when they are raw and then ground into powder for storage. In rainy days, they will Moldy, and then on the tip of the tongue, the bitter taste that nobles can't swallow.
The existence of such food allowed Aoi to stand here now, otherwise he would have chosen to flee long ago.
Those words that are being cursed in his mouth now, some people who knew him in the early years may hear those words that Aoi used to say many years ago, but they are completely different from these.
Many years ago, when the name and morality of the Mohist School had not been passed on to Fei Country, Kui Jianren would always say something "respectful".
At that time, he would tell others that he was also the descendant of Boqin, and that he was the same ancestor as the monarch Liuqing.There is no such word as Benjia at this time, but the general meaning is not bad.
Boqin was the successor of Duke Zhou and the nephew of King Wu.Ji You was born of Wen Jiang. Although Wen Jiang and his elder brother were known to have committed adultery, there is no evidence that Ji You is the son of Marquis Qi.
Furthermore, whose seed is not important, it is important who is recognized as the father under the patriarchal system, just like the concubine of the Tian family who is a guest and keeps the seed, but these sons will not find their own father but only recognize the patriarchal father Therefore, it is not bad for a "common farmer" like Kui to say that he and the monarch belong to the same family.
At this time, I don't know how many generations have passed since Boqin. Under the patriarchal system, the prince gave birth to a doctor, and the doctor gave birth to a son of a commoner, and the son of a scholar was born as a commoner.
At that time, Kui's words often attracted admiration. What kind of person is a nobleman?
At that time, Aoi would often tell stories about Boqin's suspension of government, and whenever she told them, her face glowed as if she had drunk sour wine. After all, it sounded like she was her ancestor.
If this kind of story is told too much, people who listen to it will get tired of it, and no one will listen to it after a long time.
A few years ago, after the First Battle of Lushui, depending on the alliance of the offensive alliance, Fei Guo also had to train volunteers.
The person in charge of labor and military service did not exempt Kui from corvee service just because Kui was an uncle. Kui went to serve in the volunteer army cursing, only cursing the ancestors of those who made him serve in his heart.
When she arrived at the Volunteer Division, Kui thought it was hard work, but she didn’t want to eat food, wash her face with soap, and distribute clothes as a military tax. The soldiers’ committee was in charge of food subsidies, and then she learned to read and write, and learned a few "idioms" ", learned how to plant properly, learned how to weave reed mats from my partners, repaid the loan by virtue of being a volunteer member, and knocked down two iron sickles, a shovel, an iron plow, and many sweet potatoes, potatoes, and carrots Seed.
Officers and soldiers in the volunteer army were equal, and corporal punishment was rare. Kui was dealt with one after another. She was punished by squatting for three days and carrying feces for ten days in the nearby village community.
That punishment was in his third year in the volunteer division, that is, half a year before he was able to retire and go home to take the food and vegetable money he had accumulated on a daily basis, and borrow an iron plow with his neighbors and partners.
It was not a big deal, but the neighbor who served with him once made a joke, saying: "You used to say that you are Boqin, and you are the same ancestor as the king. Didn't even give you a bone? You are his relative, why don't you eat as well as his dog?"
This is also something that volunteer teachers often say, or it is the mission of representative Lian and the content of the declaration every ten days, which arouses the laughter of the people in Lian.
There is a saying that beating people is not slapping face, if this matter is for others, they might just smile shyly, but Kui has served in the volunteer army for two or three years, and every time he recalls the "stupid things" he said in the past, he will She blushed, wishing that she had never said those things that made her feel sick before.
He also heard his neighbors laughing at what he thought was a "scar of shame", his face flushed, but he didn't scold him, relying on the skills he had trained in the volunteer teacher for two years, he did it.
As a result, he was smashed open by the company commander with two fists, and he squatted for a few days without saying a word, and then went to pick up shit to reflect.
Fortunately, after he came back, Representative Lian sent him a sentence, which was "be aware of shame and be brave".Representative Lian also told him: "Knowing the shame of the past is a good thing. It means that you can distinguish between glory and shame, and you will not do things that make you feel ashamed in the future. What is terrible is not knowing shame, terrible What is more important is not to be ashamed but to be proud.”
Others also talk about shame and courage, and the Mohists also talk about shame and courage. The difference lies in what is shame and what is courage.
After three or four years of service, I go home and grow crops to live a better life, but taxes are raised. Most of the wheat flour I grow is paid for by taxes and labor, and I can only eat dried sweet potatoes. This family uses another kind of slap Way slapped him hard.
Fortunately, he is not limited, the experience of serving in the big ink-colored dyeing vat of Yishi, he has changed from the Kwai who often ruddy and talked about himself as the queen of Boqin, to the one who often meets at the mill and can talk about the ancestors of the monarch. Eight generations of Aoi scolded all over the place.
