Chapter 46: The people of the Mo family
Granny Yu thinks about it, the Mo family has been treated coldly before, as long as there is a chance, she must always try it.
She said: "Juzi's eldest disciple is in Qi Kingdom, and the second disciple went to Quyang a few days ago, and I don't know the whereabouts of Juzi himself. ”
Granny Yu's status in the Mo family is not high, and she generally has no right to participate in important matters of the Mo family.
Mohist is an organized, leader, and academic school, and each member has a strong spirit of social practice. Everyone is hard-working, strict with themselves, and is a worker with ideals, ambitions, and knowledge.
The leader of the Mohist school is called "Juzi", and the next generation of Juzi is selected by the previous generation of Juzi to serve as a sage, and it is passed down from generation to generation. Juzi has absolute authority within the Mohist school, and the children of the Mohist family must obey Juzi's orders and sacrifice their lives to implement the Mohist ideas. The disciples of the Mohists who were officials in various countries had to implement the political ideas of the Mohists, and they would rather resign when it didn't work.
In addition, the ink practitioner who is an official must donate money to the group to achieve "wealth sharing", and Juzi, as the leader of the school, must also set an example and implement the "law of the ink man".
Zhao Qian is happy, the second disciple is in Zhao Kingdom, as long as he can find and convince him, it is possible to meet Juzi.
At this time, Zhao Xie finished talking with Li Zuoche.
"My lord, the queen's nurse has arrived, and she is in the study!"
Zhao Xie walked briskly towards the harem.
In the royal palace, there is a study room used to deal with court affairs and belongs to King Zhao, and there is also a study room in the harem.
"King, this is the nurse of the concubine!"
Zhao Xie came to the harem study, and Zhao Qian immediately made an introduction.
After Granny Yu saluted, Zhao Xie said: "I have long heard Qian'er talk about her nurse, and I finally saw her today." ”
Granny Yu said: "I'm just a commoner, how dare I have King Lao's arms!" ”
Zhao Xie smiled: "If there is no Granny Yu, how can the widow be so good, thank you!" ”
Listening to her husband talk about the good of the nurse and herself, Zhao Xie was happy.
After a little politeness, let's get down to business.
Granny Yu first asked: "Wang, you also understand the Mohist thoughts, dare to ask if you agree?" ”
Like all Mohist disciples, she was concerned about this first.
Zhao Xie nodded and said: "Your Mo family is diligent and thrifty, cares about the people, and the widow appreciates it very much. As for your claims, the vast majority of the widows agree with them. ”
Granny Yu asked again: "The grass people dare to ask the king, what else do you disagree with?" ”
Zhao Xie said: "This internal factor is very complex, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words. ”
He can't be so clear, first vague response, try to be flexible.
He said again: "Your Mo family is diligent in research and has superb skills, which is very good. The widow has obtained the guidance of Haotian God, and he also has superb skills, and papermaking is one of them. ”
Mohists not only have their own ideological propositions, but also are technical researchers. In modern terms, the Mohist organization not only has its own organizational ideas, but also has a large number of scientific researchers, integrating political ideology, scientific research, and practice.
When dealing with strangers, you need to have an entry point and a common topic from the perspective of communication, which can also be said to be what you like, and try to avoid talking about the positions and disagreements of both parties.
As for how to deal with the Mo family, Zhao Xie has his own methods.
The scientific research, inventions and creations of the Mohists, and the technology they have mastered are advanced in this era, but Zhao Xie comes from modern times, and although his science results are not top-notch, they are at least passing.
Zhao Xie wants to use technology as a starting point to attract the Mo family, have in-depth exchanges with the Mo family, and first establish a good relationship with the Mo family through this aspect, and then solve it in terms of political propositions, at least it will be much less difficult.
"Papermaking?" Granny Yu read it in her mouth.
The Mo family likes to study and invent and create, and Granny Yu was overjoyed.
Without waiting for Zhao Xie's instructions, Zhao Qian took the initiative to explain what "paper" was, and Granny Yu was even more excited.
Granny Yu took the initiative to ask, "King, how to make paper?" ”
Zhao Xie said: "This is a secret, and in a few days, you will be able to see the true face of Lushan on paper." The widow also knows a lot of technology, and there will be many inventions in the future. The Mo family is also good at this, and I want to meet the Mo family and discuss with him. ”
Granny Yu said: "King, I don't know where Juzi is, and there is no way to find him. However, the second disciple is still in Quyang, he will definitely be able to contact Juzi, and I can go to Quyang to bring him over. ”
Zhao Xie said: "There is Granny Lao." You rushed from Quyang, rest for a while, stay in the palace for one night, and set off tomorrow. ”
At this time, all three of them were very happy.
——————
Since Zhao Xie issued the order to recount the population, the household department acted quickly, and some officials in the capital went down to various counties and counties to recount the population.
For the population of Zhao, there is a household registration file, the original population of Zhao was 2.07 million, and Jingcheng lost more than 30,000 people in the first war.
The point of recounting the population is to check the rich and powerful, who have a certain number of slaves, who have been largely concealed in order to pay less taxes.
Julu County on the east side of Xiangguo, on the outskirts of Julu City, there is a large piece of land purchased by the wealthy merchant Lingqi, as well as a large mansion that has been built.
From ancient times to the Republic of China, human trafficking was legal to a certain extent, mainly reflected in the fact that parents have the right to sell their children and individuals sell themselves.
Lingqi has a large population, and no one knows exactly how many servants there are, except for himself and the main personnel.
On this day, the people from the household department came here, and they came together with the staff wailang and the corresponding officials of Julu County.
Outside the gate of the house, there were more than ten family members guarding, and no one dared to embarrass when they saw the arrival of the official house.
At this time, Ling Qi was in the courtyard of the house, and after learning that the official was coming, he hurried out.
Wai Lang Zhengse said: "Treasurer Ling, the new policy of the imperial court has been announced, re-check the population, adjust taxes, you should be clear?" ”
Ling Qi's expression was gloomy, and he nodded helplessly in response.
In addition to the salt industry, Ling Qi was also engaged in other businesses, and he was also a big landowner, and he was the richest man among the people of Zhao. Of course, he is not the only rich man in the world, but the rest who can reach the level of Lingqi are in other countries.
"You need to report the number of people you own truthfully, and from next year, taxes will be paid according to the amount of land." If you conceal fraud or evade taxes, you will be fined at the least, and your family property will be confiscated and imprisoned! ”
Lingqi had to comply, and the good days were over.
