Wang Yao's plan to deal with the Mohist school is very simple. He diverted his attention and took the initiative to create something to attract the Mohists in Xiuyan mansion and keep them busy with other things. He has no time to help the poor people in the drought, or to pay attention to the wind and rain of big grain merchants like them.
He can't compete with the Mohist school. Even if it's just an ordinary hundred collar in the Mohist school, he can't carry it, because every hundred collar may pull out groups of hundred collar, 500 long and so on at any time.
Even if he killed Wang Yao, he knew he had no ability to resist the big flag of Mohism.
But it's different to divert attention. It's not difficult to find out what the ink makers like and pay attention to, create similar events to attract them away and lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Mo Nong is the best at farming in the world. Basically, everyone likes farming and is keen to study various advanced methods of intensive cultivation, promote and promote, or study better varieties for the benefit of all the people. This is the ideal of every Mo Nong.
Well, if you want to attract Mo Nong, just say where there are excellent varieties that can double the yield per mu... There is a certain probability to attract Mo Nong.
For those idealists, which is more important than the people of Xiuyan mansion, the whole world, the Shang and Tang Empire, Qi Wei, Zhou Zhao and other countries? This is obvious at a glance. It is true that there is an improved seed that has doubled the yield per mu. It was discovered by the Mohist School and then popularized all over the world, benefiting hundreds of millions of people. It is far from comparable to the people of Xiuyan mansion.
Of course, Wang Yao didn't know where to double the yield per mu, but he could spread rumors.
The more realistic and true this rumor is, the more likely it is to attract the farmers.
What do you like to do most? When the road sees injustice, he shouts. When it's time to do it, do it! Mo Xia is a hero who upholds justice and runs around the world, just like Xu Jingyang, a hero in the east of the big business river. When they encounter injustice and people are bullied, they will help with their blood.
Well, if you continue to spread rumors, for example, Xiuyan prefecture or Yunzhou next door are running around with a group of big thieves who poison the people, you also have the probability of attracting the ink Xia. That is to say, you are outside the city and send someone to invite the ink Xia Wu bailing... Wu bailing himself has been fighting with the pirates in the coastal area of Xiuyan Prefecture? They didn't kill pirates for wealth and fame, just because those pirates often plundered caravans or went ashore to invade the border, harming many innocent people.
It's a rumor that there are large-scale bandits in the next state. One disaster is to turn a county into hell. Then even if a group of ink heroes come to Xiuyan mansion, they will go away.
Lu, are there any rogues? In fact, there are. They appear quite frequently, mainly gentry and Haozu. If they toss the people around, the thieves can't live. It's easy to cheer up and rob the four sides.
But the kind of rogue thieves often can't stir up trouble and waves, and are easy to be suppressed by the gentry. After all, the great gentry, servants and private soldiers are also very powerful.
Take Xue Cheng as an example. The Li family can pull up hundreds of thousands of servants. The soldiers are complete. The Lu family in Lu Zhennan can also, and the Xu family in Xu Jiqian can also. These are only three. Once there are rogues in Xue Cheng's house, there are tens of thousands of soldiers without weapons, they will also be easily suppressed by the gentry group.
At this time, as long as you spread rumors and exaggerate, you'd better get more intelligence evidence. Then the Moxia in Xiuyan mansion won't sit idly by. You know, in disaster years, people sell children and women, sell themselves as slaves, and just serve as slaves. It's easy to avoid death, but the rogue's poison is different, killing and wounding hundreds of innocent people.
The two are fundamentally different in nature.
"You guys, we can't compete with the Mohists, but we can spread rumors and lead them away..."
There were Countermeasures in his heart. When his status was affirmed by Zhang Yiwen, Wang Yao quickly spoke out the idea.
His words have aroused the recognition of many grain merchants.
"Brother Wang is right. Use rogue to lead away Moxia and double the yield per mu to lead away monong. Tut, wonderful!"
"Well said, but how do these rumors ferment? And how can we be the most realistic? If we want to have a good harvest of slaves this disaster season, we must last at least a month or two. We must attract the Mohists far enough to be safe."
"Ha ha, there is no shortage of smart people here. Even if one person is short, we can come up with perfect countermeasures after discussion. Moreover, each of us is short of money and manpower. What we lack is brother Wang's idea."
…………
On the side of Wang Yao's body behind him, there were large, medium and small grain merchants dominated by him. At the moment, they all flattered one after another. On the opposite side, several grain merchants around Zhang Yiwen also brightened up and wanted to say something. It seemed that they were afraid of Zhang Yiwen's presence and dared not speak clearly.
Wang Yao was happy. "Well, you guys, the plan has been put forward and we need to brainstorm. I estimate that before long, the Mo farmers of the Mohist school will visit our families one by one. We will have to serve them at that time. On the surface, we can promise them anything. When they leave, we will turn our face and refuse to admit it."
Is it hard to fool around with superficial Kung Fu? It's not difficult at all.
All the people present are human spirits. What they are best at is this kind of Kung Fu. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to this day.
Let's say that the whole Xiuyan mansion can't rank among the top ten in the two families of Zhang Yiwen and Wang Yao, but that's enough. Do you really think it's so easy to earn tens of thousands of mu of good land in Zhangjia? Do you think it's so easy to open many brothels and casinos in the Wang family?
Zhang Yiwen and Wang Yao themselves, like the old gentry such as Li Wangjiang, Xu Jiqian and Lu Zhennan, can take charge of such a great cause. They are also part of the scholars.
Let's say that Zhang Yiwen and his two sons are still officials in other places. One is the magistrate and the other is the magistrate of the county.
Without such status and power, they can't keep this huge family property.
As for fooling the Mohists on the surface, fooling around, and later turning around and refusing to admit, are you afraid of being bothered by the Mohists and liquidating them? This is not a big problem. It's like Lishui built by ink workers. Originally, some good fields of self-employed farmers or small landlords on both sides of the Strait were swallowed up by Zhang Yiwen and Wang Yao. Will the Mohists settle accounts? It is unlikely that even without Zhang Yiwen and Wang Yao, other aristocratic families will soon appear to take over their positions.
Grass people are like leeks, cutting and growing one crop after another, but the gentry and rich families are not like this?
In the early Ming Dynasty in normal history, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, how amazing was the killing? The gentry and local tyrants were killed as casually as pigs. However, after killing for so long, he had just died in the Yongle Dynasty, and the gentry and nobles appeared in clusters and developed greatly.
In tianyuxing, the kingdoms of the two empires, the gentry did not encounter tyrants with sharp butcher knives. However, after killing a stubble and surviving that period, they began to wave again.
The Mohists have long been used to such an environment. They will settle accounts afterwards, which is unlikely. In addition, as long as they accept those slaves and treat them a little better, if they lose them, the Mohists will come to settle accounts and let the slaves plead, which is also a powerful weapon.
