The cavalry of the Qi State galloped along the official road of the Song State and went south. Behind the cavalry, in a cloud of dust, were the infantry running desperately.

At the feet of the army, there were green fields of crops, and everywhere the army went, they were trampled into mud.

Then! The Song State Barracks also moved. The five thousand iron horsemen guarding the border pass galloped over, like an army welcoming the Qi State, standing not far away, watching.

"What? Don't fight? Zhuang Zhou asked puzzled.

"What's the fight?" Yu Huali shook his head and sighed: "It must be the Qi State borrowing the way to fight the invading army of the Wei State again!" ”

"Borrow?"

Zhuang Zhou asked puzzledly: "The land of our Song State is so casually lent to the Qi State?" Our crops were ruined by the soldiers and horses of the Qi State like that? ”

Most of the ground that the Qi army passed through was flat cropland, and there were green grass seedlings. Qi soldiers borrowed the road from the Song Kingdom, and how many crops were destroyed along the way? How much food will be lost?

"What can you do if you don't borrow the Tao? Does Song dare to offend Qi State? Once offended, the State of Qi stopped fighting with the State of Wei, and they turned around and fought the State of Song. Can we, the Song Kingdom, compete with the Qi Kingdom? The destruction of the Song Kingdom by the Qi State is simpler than twisting an ant to death! ”

"Could it be? Our crops have been ruined by the army of Qi like this? Zhuang Zhou was not convinced.

"No, it's not! It must be that Qi and Song must have agreed to compensate us! Dai Liu'er said on the side.

"Compensation? Can the country of Qi compensate us for the loss of food? Zhuang Zhou asked suspiciously.

"That's how it usually is! The Qi State will allocate a piece of land for us to cultivate in the Song Kingdom, which can be regarded as compensation. It is to draw a piece of land, not to cede it. What about our Song side? Compensate grain farmers for their seeds, exempt them from paying taxes for one year or several years, and food farmers will not suffer! ”

"But? Food and agriculture do not suffer losses or do not suffer losses, then? Aren't food farmers working in vain? There is no harvest for grain farmers, and there is no grain in the Song Kingdom? If there is no grain in the warehouse, what will we all eat next year? ”

Yang Zhu stood aside, observing the words and deeds of this disciple of his. He is very satisfied with Zhuang Zhou's performance.

It doesn't matter if you learn the Tao! Learn Confucianism! Whether you want to study Mohist thought or the doctrines of other schools, you must have a heart for the country and the people. If you don't serve the country and the people, there is a fundamental problem with your doctrine!

People first! Long live the people!

Taoist! All say that the family does nothing, passive, passive, etc., in fact! It's all a misunderstanding of Taoism!

Taoists are also human! If they are human, they are like everyone else around them, they also need to live and survive! Since you need to live and survive, you must be entangled with the people and things around you. Natural inaction and so on are just a way to deal with and deal with world affairs.

True Taoism is different from later Taoism, and Taoism that pursues immortality. Taoism, as well as Taoism that pursues immortality, they are just a branch of Taoism, they are not real Taoists, they are not orthodox Taoists!

A true authentic person is to enter the WTO first, then be born, and then enter the WTO! That is: practice life, understand life, and then practice life!

Yang Zhu saw the potential of a Taoist from Zhuang Zhou! Very good potential!

Zhuang Zhou has a conscience that worries about the country and the people! Only by worrying about the country and the people, and being selfless, can we understand the true meaning of life! A selfish person, they can't realize the true meaning of life, what they realize is only one-sided, their own true meaning!

"Kid! You don't know the history of the Song Kingdom, you don't know! The Song Kingdom is a small country, and before this, during the period of your Taizu and your grandfather, the Song Kingdom has been oppressed by the two big countries, and it has never been peaceful! The state of Chu in the south was at odds with the state of Jin in the north, and there were frequent wars, and the state of Song was caught in the middle. Whether it is offending the Jin State in the north or the Chu State in the south, any country they can destroy our Song State......"

But! In the end, he offended the state of Chu in the south, and the state of Chu waged war against the state of Song. Zhuang Zhou's grandfather died in one of the wars, making Zhuang Zhou's father Zhuang Buming and Dai Liuer orphans. When the Jin State saw that the Chu State was waging war against the Song State, not only did they not help, but they also secretly hoped that the Chu State and the Song State would fight to the death in order to consume the strength of the Chu State.

Afterward! The Jin State was divided between the Wei State, the Han State, and the Zhao State, and the Wei State gradually became stronger, and the Chu State reined in and did not dare to wage war against the Song State again. At this time, the Song State, after a series of wars, the national strength declined, the land decreased, the population decreased, and it became weaker and weaker. Other than that! The Song Dynasty had another civil strife, and the Dai clan took over the Song Dynasty, and the upper class of society only cared about fighting for political power, completely ignoring the people's suffering and the country's development.

At this time, although the Song State was still a vassal state, in fact, there was only an empty name left, and it was in that state of existence in name only! So! It's no wonder that Qi Guo borrowed the way!

In fact! Not only can Qi country borrow the way, but any surrounding country can pass by at any time without prior notice!

"This is the Song Kingdom where I live?"

Zhuang Zhou asked in disbelief.

"This is the Song country we live in! Although he is still a country! Bird Slippery sighed.

"If it weren't for the protection of the Mo family, the Song Kingdom would have died long ago!" Dai Liu'er said with emotion not far away.

While a few people were talking, the 100,000 troops of the Qi State were still entering the territory of the Song State and heading south. The entire Songjia Town was filled with dust from the trampling of 100,000 troops, just like a sandstorm in the desert, and the sky could not be seen.

Yang Zhu, Yu Huali, Dai Liuer, Zhuang Zhou and others also took advantage of this time to leave Songjia Town and go to the Mojia branch in Mengxian County.

Since the army of Qi State borrowed the Song State, Zhuang Zhou's heart has been very uncomfortable! Feel like you're living in humiliation! He sighed in his heart, and also hoped that he would grow up quickly, contribute to the Song Kingdom as soon as possible, and change the current humiliating situation.

Our Song Kingdom must be strong! It has to be strong! Our land is not allowed to be trampled on by the armies of any country! We, the people of the Song Kingdom, never live in humiliation! We want to be strong! We want to be strong!

Since the war between Qi and Wei, the armies of Qi and Wei have often haunted the territory of Song, and the people on the border of Song have fled their homes and gone to the central area. Along the way, Zhuang Zhou met countless refugees.

Looking at those homeless refugees, Zhuang Zhou's heart became more and more uncomfortable.

The group walked all the way, and they didn't know how long they walked, and finally returned to the Mojia branch in Mengxian County.

At this time, the Mojia branch altar was larger than when Zhuang Zhou left.

The Mo disciples came back, and the Taoist disciples also followed. The talents of the various vassal states in the Great Zhou Dynasty also came to visit the Taoist Yang Zhu and the Mo family's poultry slippery.

When they learned that Yang Zhu was going to preach here, and that Yang Zhu and Yu Huali were going to have a debate between Mo and Taoism here, they all rushed over.

Suddenly, the number reached nearly 10,000.

And! The number of people is increasing every day!

Outside the Mojia branch altar, there are many more wine shops and inns! Restaurant. There are also many more shops, and there are merchants from all over the world, and goods from almost all countries can be bought here.

Over here! It has become an economic and cultural center!

Unfortunately! Song Guo came to so many talents at once, but he still did not get the attention of the decision-making level of Song State, let alone win over and reuse these talents.

Afterward! Qi Huan Gong of Qi listened to the advice of his subordinates and established the famous "Jixia School Palace" in Qi State. Jixia School Palace is to imitate the model of the Mojia branch in Song Guomeng County, open the palace to run a school, and recruit talents.

This is the most beautiful major event during the reign of Duke Qi Huan, and it also laid the foundation for the strength of Qi State! Let Qi become a strong country, a powerful country that can compete with Qin.
