Guanqin clenched his fists: "Lord Yi Zai asked so, Guanqin didn't dare to say." Mozi once taught that the way of governance in one country and one city should not be taken lightly, and the method of government decrees is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wuxing was even more overjoyed, which shows that Guanqin is not the kind of person who pursues fame and fortune vainly, but is a down-to-earth person. It was decided on the spot to appoint Guanqin as the doctor of Yewangyi, and he took office immediately, and the family would deal with it himself.

At the beginning of Guanqin's tenure, it has not yet been sown in spring, and it has been found that the whole city of Yewangyi is really rich, and the merchants and customers come and go frequently, and there are countless restaurants, inns and shops, and most of the local city residents do it by doing the business of these merchants to support their families, and this way has a long history, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is very peaceful.

With this investigation, this Guanqin has a number in his heart. On this day, Guanqin handed over the sorted out strips to Zhao Wuxing, saying: "Lord Yizai, after these years of investigation, Guanqin also knows that this Yewang Yi is very rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which shows that the adults are well governed, and Guanqin feels honored to have such parents as adults for the people of Yewang." ”

Zhao Wuxing was very useful after hearing this, but these were not what he wanted, so he took the strip Chen, and without looking at it for the time being, he said: "The monarch will hand over such an important city to the subordinates, and he will not dare not be unwilling. Doctor Guanqin, tell me your point of view. ”

Guanqin replied: "Because of this, Guanqin also found some hidden dangers. I don't know if you have ever heard of Guanzi's 'Qi Lu Min' strategy back then? ”

"I know, someone has explained to me in detail before, that is, that Guan Zhong made Lu Min in large quantities through means, and Qi Guo purchased Lu Min in large quantities, causing Lu Min's agriculture to be wasted, and then refused to purchase Lu Min, resulting in a shortage of unsalable food in Lu State, falling into economic distress, and slumping. But what does this have to do with my Yewangyi? Zhao Wuxing was puzzled and asked.

"It's not like it, but it's like it. It doesn't matter if this city is not Yewangyi, but if it is Yewangyi, it should be thought-provoking. Yewangyi, a strategic city, is the gateway to the north and south of the Jin Kingdom. Guanqin has a question for your lordship, if there is a war, and the princes of the south of the river invade the Jin Kingdom, what will happen to Yewang City? Guanqin threw another question.

Zhao Wuxing thought for a moment: "Once such a war happens, the city will naturally be chaotic, and the merchants will retreat. ”

"Exactly!" Guanqin took over, "At that time, all that was left in the city were the soldiers defending the city and the people in the city. If the war ends in a day or two, but if it lasts for a few months or even a year or two, Guanqin wants to ask, is there enough food and grass in the city? ”

When Zhao Wuxing heard this, he stood up, frowned and wandered left and right, and after a while, Fang said: "If this is the case, Yewangyi will have no problem resisting for half a month, and beyond half a month, grain and grass will definitely become a problem." ”

"Then do these grains and grasses come from the government's storage, or the people's storage, or are they both?" Guanqin asked again.

"Mainly stored by the government, the people of Yewangyi are now mostly engaged in business, and are very little engaged in agriculture, and the family has more money and less grain storage, and the land is not planted." At this moment, Zhao Wuxing was already in a daze, his face was pale, and he was holding the bookcase.

"In peacetime, money is enough for food and grass. In times of war, from whom? The city is besieged on all sides, and even if there is grain and grass, it will not be able to enter. Guanqin said.

"Indeed!" Zhao Wuxing said weakly as he collapsed on the couch, but in his mind, he remembered the civil strife of the Zhao clan back then, and the Fan, Zhongxing clan and others took the opportunity to besiege Jinyang, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Suddenly, he stood up with his hands propped up, tidied up his clothes, and gave Guanqin a deep bow, "Thank you, Mr. for the prompt!" Since Mr. raised this question, there must be a solution, and I hope that Mr. will guide you through the maze! ”

"Don't be like that, adults!" Guanqin turned to one side and hurriedly helped Zhao Wuxing up, "Adults don't have to be too anxious first, this is just a hypothesis put forward by Guanqin in advance, and it can't be taken seriously." Now it's just a matter of improving the strategy of governing the city! ”

That Zhao Wuxing held Guanqin's hands, and those hands trembled a little: "Please also ask Mr. to give advice, set a strategy as soon as possible, and be afraid to carry it out." From today onwards, Mr. will be the doctor of the Zhao family, and he will enter the Yi Zai Mansion at will! ”

"Lord Xie, Guanqin will do his best to help the Lord govern the Yewangyi!" Guanqin thanked him. Then he helped Zhao Wuxing to sit down and said, "Now, before the spring sowing, the adults can issue an edict to let the people restore the abandoned fields and cultivate, and at the same time give a certain subsidy policy. At the same time, the people are encouraged to store grain according to the number of people, which can be actually verified, and those who meet the storage standards will be given certain rewards. In this way, in a few years, the wealth can be hidden from the people, and the grain can be stored from the people, and there will be wars, and it can also be supported for a long time. Guanqin has written many plans in the article, and adults can see it at a glance. ”

"Sir, Guan Zhong is really alive!" As soon as he heard Guanqin's strategy, Zhao Wuxing's worries were finally resolved, "These words make Wuxing clear the clouds and see the light of day, tonight, I will write to the head of the family and ask for credit to Mr." Then he ordered his subordinates to arrange a sumptuous banquet to entertain Guanqin. This shopkeeper Zhao is also among the invitees to accompany him.

On the second day, Zhao Wud's order was to encourage the people of the city to resume farming, and to reward them according to the policies established by Guanqin.

Besides, Zhao Wuxian of the capital received a letter from Zhao Wuxing, and after reading the content of the previous paragraph, he was also as frightened as Zhao Wuxing's face was pale, his hands and feet were weak, and he looked down at the solution with trembling. It wasn't until I read it all and thought it carefully in my mind that I breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it for a long time, he wrote a reply, asking Zhao Wuxing to treat Guanqin with the courtesy of a national scholar and not to slack off. If possible, you can ask Guanqin to recommend more of his fellow students to Zhao as officials.

It has been two and a half years since this policy was carried out, and it has indeed achieved the goal of storing grain for the people and wealth for the people.

After the shopkeeper Zhao finished speaking, he took a sip of wine: "Look, can't this political achievement be said to be the talent of Doctor Guanqin to govern the world!" ”

Mozi nodded: "Yes, Guanqin will apply what he has learned, and he is not bound by dogma, and has a certain insight!" ”

"So, you admit that you are Dr. Guanqin's teacher, Mozi?" Shopkeeper Zhao stood up and rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

Mozi nodded with a smile: "Exactly!" ”

Hearing Mozi's admission, the shopkeeper Zhao grabbed Mozi's hand and laughed: "I have made a great contribution this time, I didn't expect to meet you, Mr., please be sure to promise to meet Yi Zai with me tomorrow." ”

Mozi thought for a while and said, "Okay, then there will be a shopkeeper." ”

"Good! Good! Good! You rest first, I'll tell you first, so that Lord Yi Zai can be mentally prepared, and also inform Dr. Guanqin that he will be very happy. This shopkeeper Zhao was very excited.

The next day, the golden crow came out of the nest to catch the jade rabbit.

Bird Slippery was ready, and was about to prepare face wash for the master, but when he opened the door, he was startled. There were three people standing at the door, one of them knew him, the shopkeeper of the inn, and the other two, but they were strangers.

"Shopkeeper, why are you?" The poultry slippery is slightly unhappy, how can there be a block of people's doors early in the morning.

Before the shopkeeper Zhao could speak, one of the young people stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted: "I don't know what this senior brother is called, the junior brother Mo's Academy Guanqin, I don't know if the teacher can get up?" ”

"Senior Brother Guan is from the Mo Academy? The younger brother is slippery, and he has seen the crown brother. As soon as he heard that it was the same door, he hurriedly and politely.

Mozi also heard the noise at the door, and asked, "Slippery, what's so noisy?" ”

Hearing Mozi's voice, Guanqin signaled to the lower fowl slippery, and the fowl slippery also nodded, and then Guanqin bowed at the door, "Teacher, disciple Guanqin heard that the teacher is coming, come to visit!" There are also Yi Zai Zhao and Zhao shopkeeper. ”

"It turned out to be Guanqin and Lord Zhao, you first ask Lord Zhao to wait downstairs for a while, and I will wash up and come down."

Yu Huali made a request with his hands, motioned for a few people to go downstairs first, and hurried to fetch water himself.

After a short time, Mozi went downstairs, nodded to Guanqin with a smile, nodded to the shopkeeper Zhao, and bowed his hand to the other one with a fist, "This must be Lord Zhao of Yewangyi, Lord Lao Zhao came in person early in the morning, Mo Zhai is ashamed to be ashamed!" ”

"It's Zhao's rudeness, I got the shopkeeper to tell me last night, I learned that Mr. was coming, I wanted to come that night, or Zhao's shopkeeper said that Mr. was tired all the way and needed to rest, so I came here this morning, and please forgive Mr. for the inappropriateness."

Be polite to each other. At this time, the bird slippery also cleaned up with Gao He and County Zishuo, went downstairs, and stood behind Mozi after worshipping him.

"Sir, are you ready, how about you see my house?" Zhao Wuxing asked.

"Thanks to Lord Zhao's invitation, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, Mo Zhai is obedient!" Mozi laughed.

The master and apprentice and the shopkeeper Zhao followed Zhao Wudread to the Yi Zaifu, and the guests and hosts sat down, Zhao Wudor invited Mozi to take a seat, Mozi couldn't refuse, so he had to sit on the seat politely.

All kinds of rich wines, vegetables, melons and fruits were put on the table, and everyone talked while eating. In this conversation, Zhao Wuxing knew Mozi's origin, and it was another compliment. Little by little, the exchange deepened, and the topic also talked about Mozi's teaching thoughts. Mozi talked about his Mo's thought systematically, which once again led to Zhao Chengzi, who knew that he loved thoughts, great benevolence and righteousness, and made him handsome several times, which not only made the right person do the right thing, but also reflected the virtue of high wind and bright festival, and won the love and respect of all colleagues. During the reign of Duke Wen, Zhao Chengzi ranked first. It is precisely because of its benevolence and righteousness that the world evaluates it as the "winter sun", good causes get good results, and later the Zhao family was destroyed, fortunately Zhao Chengzi accumulated good causes, so that Zhao Wenzi came back the day after tomorrow and created the glory of the Zhao family.

This Mozi's explanation of both love, Shang Xian, and non-attack is far from what Guanqin said at the time, and he quoted scriptures and classics, and he was the ancestor of the Zhao family, so he won Zhao Wud's frequent nods, and he really felt like seeing each other late.

In the end, Zhao Wuxing said: "Mr. is so virtuous, it is a pity to hide the people, and he is not afraid to invite Mr. to join the scholar on behalf of the head of the family and the monarch, as for other official positions, there is no need to worry too much, and he will be the doctor in the Jin Kingdom." In this way, you can also carry forward the thoughts of the gentleman, and ask the gentleman to agree. ”

Mozi smiled slightly, and thanked him: "Thank you Lord Zhao for your love, but Mo Zhai has no idea of entering the court as an official for the time being, and my thinking still needs to be perfected. Mo Zhai wanted more monarchs and scholars to recognize and accept my thoughts, but it was not enough for me to preach on my own, so I was able to effectively teach Kong Zhongni, establish a school, and cultivate more capable people to govern the world, which were used by the monarch and the scholars. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wuxing knew that no matter how much persuasion was useless, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. is really a great person, such a great achievement, it will be passed on for hundreds of generations!" I can't wait! ”

After that, the topic was much lighter and free to talk. During the banquet, Zhao Wuxing also communicated with Yu Huali, and learned that he was the chief true disciple of Mozi, and was very interested. But I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth, I hit a wall. The fowl said bluntly that what he had learned was not as good as Master's Baiyi, and there were still many skills that he had not yet learned, so he did not dare to enter the WTO. It was a pity for Zhao Wuxing.

After that, Zhao Wuxing stayed with Mozi, and since he could not be an official in the same dynasty, he stayed for a few more days so that he could learn more about the essence of governing the world. Mozi agreed. After that, there was a small banquet on the third day and a big banquet on the fifth day, this Zhao Wuxing really cherished his talents, respected Mozi very much, and did not despise him because of his youth.

During this period, Guanqin was also familiar with the poultry slippery, and wanted to call the bird slippery as the senior brother, but was stopped by the fowl slippery, the reason was that the entry was in order, and the guanqin should be the senior brother.

Mozi admired Guanqin very much, and praised it, "You can learn and use it without sticking to the law of death, and use the 'Qi Lu Min' flexibly, and you have obtained the essence of governing the world." Knowledge, tools are also, such as axes and chisels, such as swords, people, inventors and appliers, are good at controlling tools. Very good! ”

Receiving the praise and recognition of the teacher, Guanqin was very relieved and felt happy.

Subsequently, Mozi taught in a deep voice: "Although the achievements are gratifying, we must guard against arrogance and rashness. On the road of life, if you want to continue to be brilliant, you must continue to forge ahead and constantly introspect. At the same time, when governing the world, we should not forget the purpose of 'love and non-attack'. ”

After listening to it, Guanqin carefully chewed on the teacher's teachings, felt that the words were golden and good, full of love and encouragement, and nodded: "Teacher, don't worry, Guanqin will not live up to your teachings, and will make persistent efforts!" ”

Many of these disciples of the Mo family are from ordinary backgrounds, and they are very grateful and respectful to be able to get ahead from Mozi.
