Chapter 323 The title is too hard to think(1/3)
After lunch, Cheng Xi took the Six-fingered Black Man and Master Ban outside the palace.
"What's the big man's plan?"
Cheng Xi walked in front and asked casually.
"I plan to go back to the city to inform the leader of the Mo family."
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have sent them away, but fortunately, they probably haven't gone far yet."
Cheng Xi smiled and said: "I think you should not rush to inform me, but do your ideological work first."
"Ideological work?"
"Well, that's right. I think you should communicate with the leader of the Mo family alone first."
"This will not only ensure the passage of the resolution, but also avoid the risk of internal strife within the Mohist family."
The six-fingered black man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Hou, you are worrying too much."
"Even if we have different opinions, the Mo family will not cause infighting. I still have some prestige."
"Well... let's put it another way."
"As for the cooperative relationship between the Mo family and Qin State, I think it would be better for the Mo family not to reveal it in a hurry."
"Otherwise, the Mohist family may be targeted by the forces of the six countries. Even if they are not targeted, it will never be as convenient as before."
"This is not good for the Mohist family or the Qin State."
The six-fingered black man said thoughtfully, "Don't let the Marquis' intention be revealed for the time being?"
"That's not true, it's a limited disclosure."
"For example, Juzi, you can still tell someone who you are completely sure will not reveal the information."
"I heard that the prince Yan Dan of the Yan Kingdom and the knight-errant Jing Ke are also members of the Mo family."
"If they knew it, wouldn't the information be revealed?"
Regarding Jing Ke's past, the Six-Fingered Black Man still knew something, otherwise he wouldn't have said those words in the city.
Those words were meant not only for Jing Ke but also for Yan Dan.
"I see."
"But there is no airtight wall in the world. Sooner or later it will be known to the world." The six-fingered black man nodded slightly.
"That's true, but the later it is leaked, the more time it will give the giants and the Mo family to prepare."
"To unify the world, war is inevitable, and the six countries will not directly surrender their cities."
"The more time the Mo family prepares, the smaller the casualties will be in the future."
"If the Mohists are interested, I can propose that Mohist disciples be the supervisors of the army."
"The status is still higher than that of military judges. His main responsibility is to prevent the army from burning, killing, looting, and massacres in all directions."
"What do you think, Master?"
The Six-fingered Black Man was immediately moved when he heard this.
In general, he wouldn't care about status, power, etc. The Mohist family wouldn't care about it, and neither would the Mohist family's disciples.
But it's different if it's a check on the military's power to kill indiscriminately.
It is not said that the death of soldiers in war is inevitable and no one can prevent it.
However, the most miserable people in the war are the civilians. If the casualties of civilians can be reduced, the Mohists are willing to do everything they can!
"The Marquis is very benevolent and righteous, and the Mohist family is willing to be a pioneer!"
The six-fingered black man quickened his pace and walked to Chenglong himself, bowing his hands solemnly, followed closely by Master Ban.
"You two, please get up quickly."
"I am doing this not only for the sake of the common people, but also for the foundation of Qin's rule."
The army of Qin is known as the Tiger and Wolf Army, because they have their heads pinned to their belts.
This head has two meanings, the first one means risking one's life, and the second one means actually hanging the enemy's head on the waistband.
Qin's army was strong in combat power, but its military discipline was not much better than that of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. Burning, killing, and looting were commonplace.
In this battle to unify the world, every time a common person is slaughtered, the accumulated resentment becomes more and the foundation of rule becomes weaker.
Therefore, Cheng Yu did not want to see the Qin army massacre.
In order to prevent the Qin army from massacres, supervision measures must be in place.
People from the Mo family couldn't be more suitable, and they would never collude with people at the military level.
To do this, military morale must be considered. After all, it has been a habit for the victors to burn, kill, and loot the losers since ancient times.
Suddenly asking the army to stop robbing, blocking the soldier's way of making money, the sword may not be aimed at anyone.
To appease the morale of the military, the first thing to deal with is the generals who command the troops.
If the commander-in-chief does not take the lead in making trouble, the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers at the lowest level will not be able to make much waves.
How to deal with the commander-in-chief?
In Cheng Xi's view, it is nothing more than a warning of harsh punishments, killing chickens to frighten monkeys, and corresponding rewards and compensations.
Secondly, we must also compensate the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers. Otherwise, using force to suppress each other will inevitably lead to resentment.
In Cheng Yu's view, no one can make the army resentful, otherwise the consequences will be endless!
Although the wealth of ordinary people cannot be used, the wealth of the nobles of the six countries can be used.
Most of the wealth in this world is in the hands of the nobles. In the hands of all common people, the combined wealth is far less than that.
Using their savings to reward the Qin army can be said to kill three birds with one stone!
One is to dismantle the foundation of rebellion of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the other is to consolidate the foundation of Qin's rule, and the third is to weaken the influence of the generals on the army.
The reward to the army must be in the name of Ying Zheng, which is different from the soldiers taking it themselves.
The soldiers would only thank Ying Zheng and the Qin royal family, not the generals.
Any general who dares to stand up to oppose will have to dig a hole to remove him.
Although it is a huge fortune, Cheng Yu believes that Ying Zheng will definitely be willing to give it up.
As long as you are mentally prepared in advance and do not think that the wealth of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms is your own, then you can be generous to others.
Even if you think it is yours, if you can completely control the army, there is no reason to be reluctant to part with it given the situation of Ying Zheng.
When unifying the world, we must separate the nobles of the six countries from the common people, so that class contradictions are greater than external contradictions!
"When you do good deeds, you don't care about your heart."
"As a prince of the Qin State, it is natural for the Marquis to consider the Qin State. It is very rare to be able to consider the common people of Guizhou."
The six-fingered black man looked serious, and Master Ben looked in agreement.
To be honest, the two of them never expected that Cheng Yu would have such thoughts...
It is rare for a prince of Qin to consider the people of Qin, but he can also consider the people of the world...
He is simply an outlier among the powerful!
But they like this alien so much!
If it weren't for the fact that the throne of King Qin was already occupied, they would really like to find someone else to sit on.
Hearing the Six-fingered Black Man's praise, Cheng Yu felt quite happy, but on the surface he was still modest.
"That's a great prize, that's a great prize."
"Your Mo family is also very good. Ever since the founder Mozi, you have devoted yourself to the people of the world and dedicated yourself silently."
"I have a suggestion for you, the Mo family."
"I would like to hear from you, Lord Marquis."
"It's impossible to talk about high opinions."
"I know that your Mo family doesn't like to kill, and the mechanism technique is more defensive and civilian."
"There is nothing wrong with this. I hope you can go deeper."
"For example, in the future, we will cooperate with farmers and other people to develop practical machinery that is suitable for people's livelihood."
"It would be great if there were machinery that could loosen soil, weed, sow, fertilize, harvest, etc. faster and better."
"It doesn't need to be too complicated or too high-end. The biggest requirement for civilian use is that it can be promoted, the cost must be low, and the applicability must be wide."
"The initial research direction was suggested to be agricultural equipment. Without farming, it would be unstable."
"Unification of the world does not mean peace of mind, but as long as everyone in the world has enough to eat, peace can last longer."
Hmm... I don't know if the Mo family's mechanical skills can create a machine like an automatic scarifier...
Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku Xuanwu and so many black technologies are available, it shouldn’t be too difficult to build a scarifier.
To be continued...
