Chapter 882 Enlightenment Doctrine

Before leaving, the "tiger disaster" and "tiger disaster" that Shi and Xu Ruo said seemed to be a joke, just a few short sentences.

But when Xu Ruo set foot in Yunmeng a few months later, he realized that the words "鼍灾" that seemed like a joke were so real.

The crocodile is also the crocodile.

At this time, the climate is warm and humid, and there were many crocodiles and tigers in Sishang originally, but the tigers on Sishang have become extinct in recent years, so that Xu Ruo has already forgotten those terrible animal disasters.

In the past few years, Sishang has organized a lot of tiger hunting teams, and even directly dispatched active soldiers to hunt, and usually recovered tiger skins with high rewards.

With the power of firearms, the secret organization, and the advantages of iron weapons, tigers have disappeared from every village in Sishang in just over ten years.

As for the crocodile, although there are still a lot left, the crocodile skin is a good leather armor material, and it has been chased and killed by all kinds of people who want to make a fortune.

It was difficult for Xu Ruo to feel the pain and horror of these disasters that had disappeared on his body.

However, when he arrived at Yunmengze, he didn't realize that Sishang's administration had made him forget what kind of world was beyond Sishang until he saw the tragedy with his own eyes.

Not long after he and the dozens of people who came by boat arrived in Yunmeng and contacted the local Mohists, they heard crying in the barren Yunmeng.

The story is just like Confucius’ exclamation that tyranny is fiercer than a tiger when he climbed Mount Tai. The child of the weeping man has just been eaten by a crocodile, but the weeping man is not going to leave, because there is no tyranny here, and he can escape from labor and military service. Public land cultivation evades cloth tax and silk tax.

Xu Ruo didn't say much for the time being, bypassing the weeping people, followed a road that was not even a road at all, and entered Yunmengze, where there was a swamp among the vast waves.

There are herds of elk, and the roar of tigers resounds through the sky.

The people around him are not afraid. Many of them have been to the South China Sea, and even veterans who have participated in the 800-person extermination of Fulou. There are plenty of weapons and firearms around them. Many people only think that the cry of the rhinoceros means the skin of each wealth.

When the boat passed through a small lake, the local Mohist introduced: "About [-] people from the Anlu uprising withdrew into Yunmeng. Some of the rest stayed there. Those who did not listen to us The chiefs who advised the nobles to listen to their angry rebellion remained, all beheaded."

"Thousand Five Middle School is mostly the ones we preach and obey in the local area, and the leaders are all our people. There are many fish and shrimps in the lake, and there are herds of elk, but they don't go hungry, they just hide in it."

Recently, a lot of people have come here one after another. Through merchant ships, or some noble relationships, bribery and other means, those Mohists transferred from Sishang gathered here through various means.

The higher authorities appointed Xu Ruo as the special commissioner of Yunmengze, and he is already the number one figure among the Mohist here. The local Mohist organization is functioning normally, saving a lot of trouble.

After Xu Ruo roughly understood the situation, he asked, "There are no vicious lake robbers here?"

The local Mohist smiled and said: "You have also seen it. The most vicious people must have means. If they kill someone in the city, or have enemies, those who have the means can hide elsewhere. How can there be a few hiding in Daze?" Among them are those who are in constant fear?"

"There are some people who occasionally rob people who are hiding and fleeing here in the great swamp, but they really can't get anything."

"Fleeing here, most of them live on fishing and hunting. That is to say, some people can plunder some rhinoceros skins, crocodile skins and the like. However, there are not many people, and they hide in the big swamp, so it is difficult to find them."

"The rest are mostly people who have fled. They live scattered in the big lake in small groups. They also seldom plant, but mostly live by fishing and hunting. They either pick lotus seeds, white couples, or wild fruits, and they have no iron tools. There are no tools, and there are a lot of people.”

Xu Ruo thought to himself, maybe the giant thought about Sishang's situation here, Sishang has frequent business exchanges, and there used to be many robbers in Lin Ze.There is really nothing to plunder here, and the people who want to attack the city are not people like Bandit Zhi, let alone.

He also knew that the local Mohists did not have many activities here, and there were not enough manpower. They must be mostly active in the city and the densely populated villages around the city, and it is unlikely to go deep into it.

When going deep inside, I occasionally pass through several villages, and the people in the villages are quite alert to outsiders.

Most of these villages were formed by the fleeing people, and there are still strong remnants of the villages. The villages are self-governing, and the land is allocated to the public on a regular basis. The village atmosphere in the Spring and Autumn Period is very strong.

After spending a day in Daze, Xu Ruo probably understood what Lin Shi said before leaving.

The focus of work here is completely different from that of Xinzheng.

Xinzheng is the issue of land redistribution, which is of concern to the people.

And here... I'm afraid it's not the issue of land distribution, but the most basic political power is not there. It's difficult to gain a foothold here... originally.

But if the Mohists can support and deliver goods, they can imitate the model of Sishang when it was first built, focusing on construction.

First achieve self-sufficiency, then rely on mountains to eat mountains and water, rely on merchant ships to communicate with the outside world, win the trust of the people, build a basis, and then seek other things.

Xu Ruo thought, according to the Mohist theory of contradiction, the main contradiction in Xinzheng is the contradiction between nobles and common people; while the contradiction in Yunmeng Lake is the contradiction between the survival of the people and the cruel nature.

With such a preliminary judgment, Xu Ruo was even more convinced after he actually saw the people of the Anlu Uprising hidden in Yunmeng Lake.

It is said that there are 500 people, but in fact it is much more than 500 people.But there are only a thousand young and strong men, as well as the elderly, children and women.

Dressed in rags, with a haggard face, although the Mohist inside can still maintain it, the Mohist inside obviously has no experience of this kind of escape, and it is already rare to be able to keep people's hearts alive.

After contacting, Xu Ruo only took one day to win the conviction of these people.

He took a large bag of salt and let these people who had been unable to eat salt after retreating eat a very salty fish and vegetable soup.

A meal of salt, and the status of a Mohist who came from his body, gave these people hope again.

There are more than 60 official Mohists in the team, and there are more than ten peasant believers. In this kind of place, there will be no differences between the Mohists and the peasants. The differences between the Mohists and the peasants are affected by the budding of industry and commerce around Sishang. serious area.

After appeasing everyone's emotions, Xu Ruo and the others waited quietly until a month later, all the people sent from Sishang arrived.

A standard Sishang "county party" team, supporting craftsmen, more than 100 Liushui masters, more than [-] regular infantry, plus two warships and even two bronze cannons.

The Bashu salt and Sishang salt of the Mohist basically monopolize the smuggling market of the Chu State salt industry, and the transportation of various materials is not a problem.

This is not an initial creation in Sishang, but a development after the foundation has been established, which is quite different.

The Mohists in the world belong to a family, although there is a slight language gap, but after singing a few songs that everyone can sing, they are familiar with each other.

When Yunmengze's first Mohist internal meeting was held, more than 100 people participated.

Xu Ruo said: "This time, the giant only said that money is not a problem, and supplies are not a problem. The important thing is that we have a firm foothold, so that the fleeing people from all around can gather here, and then develop outside."

"I think our top priority is to solve the problem of clothing, food and housing first. All the cloth is shipped outside, that's easy. Salt, iron, and seeds are not a problem. However, housing, cities, and fields must be resolved within a year and a half. "

"After one and a half years, we must at least be self-sufficient in food; there will be surplus food in the fields."

"Moreover, we can't rely entirely on support from various places. The crocodiles and rhinos here are all high-quality leather materials. At least we must make sure that the leather materials we sell can be exchanged for the cotton cloth we wear. Then... Occasionally looting I don't think it is difficult to get off Fengjun's ship."

"Well, I think in the first year, we have to learn from farmers. The sages and the people work together to eat. Except for some of the volunteer teachers who came over from Sishang to leave their jobs, the retreated ones will be grouped together, and the food will be settled first. For the issue of accommodation, let’s find other things.”

"As long as we stay here safely and securely, I don't think anyone will disturb us within a year or two. We'll talk about other things when the city is first established here."

Since he grasped the main contradiction, he naturally thought of the idea that the sages of the farm family and the people would farm and eat together. Anyway, there will be no war in the short term, and there is still a steady stream of material support on his shoulders. As long as he can achieve self-sufficiency in food , then there is much to be done.

Once the proposal is made, everyone agrees.

So he chose a place in Yunmeng Lake that cannot be flooded by water, burned wasteland and reclaimed land, built houses, and reclaimed land.

Farm tools are coming in continuously, and the Mo family is not short of money now, and these farmers who have retreated to Yunmeng were originally farmers, and they are very familiar with farming, and they have Sishang's technical support and a complete set of county-level Institution, in just a few months, there is a bit of a paradise here.

Unlike when Sishang was first established, there is no need to build a military industry system, no need to consider coal and iron, no need to cultivate talents from scratch, what is needed is to express one thing to the fleeing people around: this place is very good, if you flee, If you don't move here.

The established company from Sishang still remains off-duty, hunting rhinos, tigers, and crocodiles all day long. In the past few months, no tigers have been seen here, and the fur and horns have accumulated a lot.

The pain of initial creation is hard to describe in a single word, but after you survive it, you will see the moonlight.

In the past few months, many people who fled and hid in the Yunmeng Desolation have heard that there is a city in the Yunmeng Desolation, where the sages and the people farm and eat together, the yellow hair is hanging down and the hair is happy, and there are no tigers. In the disaster, there is no shortage of iron, cloth and salt.

There are more and more investors.

Before the summer of the next year, this place has become a small city, and there is a school, and the city has already taken shape.

Only during the meeting, many Mohists murmured in their hearts.

The sages and the people work side by side, all foreign goods are uniformly priced and distributed to achieve the same price, relying on the amount of labor to distribute equivalent goods in exchange for coupons, the people work together, there are no merchants in the entire city, and there is no industry and commerce with a clear division of labor. Is it the same as the one at the farmhouse?
A few people from the farm family in the crowd were also complacent. There were many rumors that the Mo family and the farm family had many disputes in Sishang, but here it proved that the farm family's set was just usable.
