Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 692 The Mohist Comes

  On the lobby of the Pingyang government office, Fei Qian sat in the hall, and three people sat below him.

   I have to say that the Mohist's sizing is still very precise. Fei Qian was a little unhappy when he came before, but he disappeared after seeing the Mohist's personnel list.

  A total of 30 people from the Mo family came, including three from the poor family, ten craftsmen, and the rest were martial arts practitioners.

  Among the sons of the gentry, one is from Zhongdu, Sun Zi, named Yanlong, looks like a big Kansai face, single eyelids, straight nose and square mouth, about twenty years old, but still young.

  The other one is Jing Wei from Lou Fan, whose name is Ji Dang, with a serious face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his age is about thirty.

  The last person is Ma Ye from Fufeng, whose name is Decheng. He is the oldest. He looks about forty. Maybe his real age is not that old, but his skin is dark and thin, and he looks old.

Most of the craftsmen have no names, or have surnames but no names, while most of the warriors don't even have a surname. According to Sun Zi, most of them are orphans, and they were not with him in the first place. I just came together after receiving the orders from Tomoko...

  In this way, Fei Qian pondered, the Mohists probably have some secret strongholds in this area, where could it be? In later generations, one hundred thousand soldiers were hidden on the Taihang Mountain, so that the bald man could not enter the mountain and cut down the forest...

  But it may not be in the Taihang Mountains, maybe it is also possible in the Qinling Mountains...

  The east-west and north-south mountain ranges in this area are large and small. Zhongtiao Mountain, Luliang Mountain, and Funiu Mountain are really too numerous to list. If you hide thousands of people, you may not be discovered.

   But it shouldn't be too far away, otherwise it wouldn't come so fast.

   But the strange thing is that the three sons of the gentry seem to be headed by the youngest Sun Zi. What's going on?

  Fei Qian asked: "I don't know what kind of relationship the three... have with the Mohists?"

  Sun Zi cupped his hands and replied: "The family has received favors from Juzi, and there is no way to repay them. Therefore, when Zi was young, he traveled with Juzi for three years."

  Jing Wei cherished the words like ink and said: "The ancestors have old stories with the Mohists."

  Ma Ye put on a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said: "Fufeng was once hit by a barbarian, thanks to Juzi's rescue, the whole family was able to survive, and the Jing family also had to help, so it was safe."

   Oh, I see, Ma Ye is a guest in Fufeng who suffered a disaster from the Hu people and moved here. He is a guest in Jing Wei's Jing family. People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

   "Excuse me for being presumptuous, I don't know what the three of you can do well?" Fei Qian still has to ask, he can't make random arrangements without knowing everything.

  Sun Zi cupped his hands and said: "Judgment, action, calculation, policy, Zi dare not lie and be professional, but he knows a thing or two."

   Fei Qian nodded. Although Sun Zi said that he did not dare to speak carefully, but most of them were modest words, so Sun Zi's main direction is politics and strategy.

  Jing Wei still didn't speak much, he just said the words "slightly good at military affairs" and then kept silent.

   There are many types of military affairs...

   Ma Ye was honest, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm good at arithmetic and making weapons..."

   Feiqian nodded, and after pondering for a while, he said: "So, Yanlong, I worship you as the secretary of the Shangdang Party, and stay in Pingyang to assist Wenzheng and Zijing in compiling the household registration of Pingyang Tunmin..."

  Now there are more farmers farming in Pingyang, and they must be properly managed, otherwise they will not know where they belong and sooner or later there will be chaos. Fei Qian now asked Du Yuan and Zaoyi to compile the household registration of the villagers first using the Baojia model, but the workload is still very large, so manpower is also needed to assist.

The farmers in Pingyang used to have no food and clothing, and most of them were people who used to carry their bags. For example, some of them were from Yong'an City. Now most of the farmers from Yong'an City have returned to Yong'an. The others stayed in Pingyang.

Most of these people's families are incomplete, widows, widows, orphans and children. In the past year or so, some people have spontaneously formed new families because of their close relationship, but this relationship has not yet been established. I got the official, that is, the official household registration here in Feiqian, so the main job now is to improve these.

  Sun Zi bowed his head and said: "Follow Zhonglang's order."

   Fei Qian turned his head to look at Jing Wei and said: "Ji Dang, since you are in charge of military affairs, I will worship you as Pingyang Breaking Bandit Cao, and temporarily help Yuan Zhi train recruits."

Huang Cheng was transferred to Huguan, and Xu Shu took the place of military training. However, military training still takes a lot of time, so he was a bit busy. He sent Jing Wei to be the deputy of the military training. Because this serious face also has a certain deterrent effect on recruits.

  Jing Wei said: "I obey the order."

  As for the horse industry, Fei Qian was in a bit of a dilemma. He is proficient in equipment. Well, there are some things in his workshop that should not be known casually. After all, the horse industry is still new, so it is hard to say what will happen in the future...

   "Decheng, I worship you as Pingyang engineer... Today Pingyang needs to be plowed deeply, equipment and livestock need to be allocated, so you will help Zijing plan this matter..." Fei Qian thought for a moment, then said to Ma Ye. It is better to send them to the field of agriculture first. As for the field of industrial technology, we will wait and see.

  Ma Ye bowed his head and bowed down: "I would like to obey Zhonglang's order."

   Feiqian smiled and said: "Today, the three of you will rest for a while, and you will come here again at Chenshi tomorrow. I will personally worship the seals of the three of you."

  The three of Sun Zi responded in unison, and retreated first.

  The three gentry children have settled down, how will the craftsmen be settled?

  Warriors are easy to say, after all, they have practiced martial arts, so it is most suitable to put them in the army. As long as they are not scattered too much, and then controlled, they are also a very powerful force on the battlefield.

  The artisan is the same as the previous arrangement of the horse industry. It is a little troublesome. To be cautious, you still need to observe for a while.

   Otherwise, Fei Qian suddenly thought of an idea. Since Huang Yueying is considered an elder of the Mohist family, he might as well transfer some warriors and those ten craftsmen directly to Huang Yueying to toss about...

   Give a topic, such as the improvement of farm tools? Or movable type?

   Let’s do both to see what the effect is, and you can also refer to the situation of these personnel.

  The land near Pingyang is fairly flat, suitable for intensive use of agricultural equipment. No matter what is researched, as long as it promotes productivity, it is the result that Fei Qian is happy to see.

   And the output of bamboo paper is still good now, maybe we can put movable type printing on it, and then print a batch of books before the school starts to exchange for a sum of money, um, a sum of supplies?
