Chapter 67: Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period (6) The National Team of Farmers (Second update…

The slaves continued to work.

Ye Mo led a long line of guards and walked around the farm. He had a brief conversation with the steward about the remaining grain in the warehouse.

Two survivors had no time to hide their jealous eyes and almost caused trouble again. They were suppressed by the slaves working with them and were thrown out. The steward was almost scared to death and apologized to the young lady repeatedly.

Ye Mo was very angry. Ye Mo did not respond. She asked and wrote down the names of the two men. They were still making trouble out of jealousy at this time. They were stupid and vicious. The Chuyang City Army was definitely not suitable for them.

Finally, she stopped in front of the agents.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the agents were in good physical condition and had good work efficiency, and each of them performed very well.

Ye Mo asked the survivor reserve with a birthmark on his face, "What's your name?"

"My lady, I'm Zhang San."

This name was even more perfunctory than hers, so perfunctory that the survivor knew it was definitely a fake name as soon as he heard it.

Ye Mo praised him, "Zhang San, you're doing a great job on the farm, and your arms are very strong."

"Thank you for the compliment, young lady."

Zhang San could also see that Li Jing was a smart person with a calm and composed personality. No matter in which field in the world, he must have been a leader and possessed certain leadership skills.

At the moment, he also recommended two people to Ye Mo, one named Li Si and the other named Wang Wu.

It is said that they like to think when they have nothing to do. They have new ideas in agricultural tools and have worked together to develop a sowing tool called a plow that can help farms with farming.

After saying that, a thin man and a woman with red phoenix eyes knelt forward half a step at the same time. The latter was called Wang Wu, and what she held in her hand was the one that she and Li Si rushed out last night. The bamboo carving of the plow that Ye Mo brought.

In less than a day, a complete plan has been designed, and no one needs to worry about the next steps. This is a team.

The guard checked the bamboo carving before handing it to the maid, who checked it again and handed it to the young lady.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Ye Mo knows very little about farming, and she may not be able to identify the crops in the field clearly, but she can tell the design principles and basic functions of the plow with just a glance.

Compared with manual sowing, the plow is of course more time-saving and labor-saving, and the quality is higher. This is a typical example of the role of wooden mechanisms in life. Taking it out in advance can indeed benefit farmers.

"Mr. Li Zhuang and Miss Wang are really talented, but I still have some questions about this picture. Please help me solve them."

"Thank you for the compliment, young lady."

Ye Mo suddenly seemed to remember that it was almost lunch time, and it was not too early, so he asked Wang Qi, Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu if they could go to Yangcheng Jun Qu's house, and naturally got a positive reply.

During this time, Li Si also exchanged glances with a lady named Zhao Liu, as if they were handing over something. They had a pattern for naming, with the surnames of the Hundred Family and numbers, from Zhang San to He Shisi. After

a quick glance, Ye Mo mentally estimated: ... Only 12 agents have exposed their identities, and the remaining 3 have other tasks to do?

Before leaving, in addition to instructing the spring plowing again, Ye Mo also hinted to several farm managers with the task that this year's spring recruitment will be held soon, and asked him to take care of the young and strong resources.

...

Since the departure of Chuyang Jun, the biggest thing that happened in Chuyang City was the mourning for the deceased King Chu Dao, but that was the business of the relevant officials, and the people didn't care about it.

Ye Mo's trip this time was as cool and eye-catching as her convoy.

It suddenly became a hot topic among the people.

Performing arts + people with ulterior motives guided these things to be filial and close to the people, followed by loyalty and righteousness. The people praised the young lady endlessly, and some even took her as a model of filial piety.

In this way, the news spread quickly.

Not surprisingly, it was heard by the officials and also caused heated discussions. Unlike the heated discussions among the people, the officials strictly abided by the Zhou rituals. They believed that it was wrong for the young lady to go to the farm to care about spring plowing.

"This is not embroidery or textile weaving. It is very inappropriate for a girl to do so. The young lady is a noblewoman!"

"'A girl should be taught by her nanny to be gentle and docile, to weave and string, to learn women's affairs, and to wear clothes. She should get married at the age of fifteen and twenty.' It is really not in line with the Zhou Li for the young lady to do this. Only women's words are trusted. The State of Chu will have the same breakfast as the Shang Dynasty, which will cause big problems."

"'Wang Jiang and Shi Shu served Dabao; Wang Si called Xiji and E Niji to Han; Jiang ordered Zai Yue to enter Youcai and establish Zhongting.' The young lady is right. The Zhou Li does not stipulate that women cannot share the worries of their fathers and husbands. The young lady is a person of great kindness and filial piety."

...

The officials quarreled very loudly, and they did not reach a conclusion after an hour.

This was an era of strict class hierarchy, but also an era of flourishing thoughts. It was precisely because people with lofty ideals could express their opinions freely that it was a period of social contradictions.

Ye Mo really did not expect that these men would go to Meng Sheng, the great master of the Mohist school, for this matter.

Before leaving Chuyang City, Yangcheng Jun trusted Meng Sheng very much, so he gave him half of the jade artifact called Huang and asked him to help defend Chuyang City. This talisman could mobilize Chuyang City’s troops when Chuyang City was in trouble.

With the monarch’s military talisman, Meng Sheng was equivalent to the temporary manager of Chuyang City, the highest official.

When they came, Meng Sheng was discussing with other Mohist disciples about improving the design of the spinning wheel, so he came out in a short-sleeved shirt and long pants that did not conform to the mainstream. This is also a difference between Mohist and other famous scholars.

Most Mohist disciples were born in poverty, and Zhou Li was not really engraved in their bones. They just catered to society. When they were obsessed with mechanical techniques, they often ignored other things.

After Meng Sheng heard the whole series of deeds of the young lady, he did not get angry but praised, "The young lady is very kind!"

Others: "..."

Meng Sheng did not praise the young lady for going to watch the spring plowing, but for the young lady's filial piety, righteousness, talent, and compassion for the people. She is a rare and extraordinary woman, and naturally deserves praise.

At this time, another Mohist disciple Xu Ruo stood up and said, "Yang Chengjun left in a hurry and has not returned yet. You are worried about your father, which is filial piety, you are worried about the country, which is loyalty,

and you are worried about the people, which is righteousness. What's wrong with that?" He said this because he had a daughter who loved to wield swords since she was a child. Last time, she came to his house because of a fight and he had locked her up at home for several days.

Because he doted on his daughter very much, Xu Ruo could understand the daughter.

He even quoted "Mozi": "Men and women guarding the city, ten-six crossbows and four soldiers..."

The ancient sage Mozi did not discriminate against female soldiers at all. Among all the schools of thought, only the Mohists dared to openly compile female soldiers and female generals into the history of Mohism. The Mohist philosophy is equality, not gender opposition.

Meng Sheng thought his words made sense.

Seeing that even the Mohist master Meng Sheng agreed, the opposing officials could only keep their opinions to themselves.

At this time, a disciple of the Mohist school came in with a wooden slip from the young lady Mi Wenjing.

The time of the visit is tomorrow morning.

The wooden slip also contains a long lyrical article, which briefly describes a series of actions today, and then explains it, and even adds "the death of King Dao of Chu, the new king has not been established, and the worry about Chu."

"A year's plan begins with spring. Spring recruitment is the most important thing in Yangcheng. My father has been worried about this matter since the winter solstice. I wish I could share his worries. Now that spring is almost over, the matter of recruiting soldiers cannot be delayed. I will personally visit Mr. Meng tomorrow to discuss this matter." The

above content dictated by Ye Mo still needs to be polished by the literati in the mansion. She wrote three copies and discarded two.

Spring recruitment!
