    Sun Bin looked at Yunyao and said: "People in the Western Zhou Dynasty studied history until King Wen and King Wu of Zhou founded the country. When we study history, we have to read the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Book of Songs. We need to learn not only before the Western Zhou Dynasty but also after the Western Zhou Dynasty.  The content has increased, and it is like training soldiers and horses. It is very simple to command one chariot; it is difficult to command ten chariots to fight together; it is difficult to command a hundred or a thousand chariots.  Only a few people can do it, and these people are all famous generals of great countries. The same is true for learning. Learning one school of thought is equivalent to commanding a chariot. Learning three schools of thought is equivalent to commanding a hundred chariots. To master it, there are few in the world.  have."

    "Awesome, Yunyao has to admit that Sun Bin is indeed very smart. Is this the return of all methods to the sect?"  Although Sun Bin was best at commanding operations, through commanding operations he was able to see through the nature of other aspects of society.  Such people have truly applied what they have learned to all aspects, which can be said to be enlightened.

    Nowadays, everyone is illiterate, and there is no systematic and efficient cramming education. Learning a school of thought already requires a lot of energy and financial resources. Learning Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism at the same time can only be done by smart people with extraordinary talents.

    Geniuses like Sun Bin are rare after all.

    Therefore, religions are opposed to writing books and establishing biographies, because it is useless if they are written. For illiterate people, they still have to pass it on orally and tell the story to everyone.

    Nowadays, those who can learn culture are all nobles. Even the down-and-out nobles are still nobles. Landlords still have relatively few studies.  They don¡¯t even give the landlords access to ascending paths, so they naturally won¡¯t share their knowledge with them.

    Mohists here basically do not spread their ideas through teaching. Instead, like religion, they treat diseases and administer medicine to accumulate reputation, and then gather everyone to tell stories, which is considered education.

    There are too many illiterates and too few scholars to support the integration of the three studies.  Therefore, the way Wei and Qin mobilized the landlords was to take them with them to grab money and territory, instead of teaching them how to read and write, and teach them etiquette and morality.

    So the idea is great, how can we get everyone to learn it?  Not to mention the core ideas of Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism, even the laws of the Qin State are said to be harsh because they are too difficult to learn.

    After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, a large number of Qin officials were decentralized and went to the grassroots level to popularize the law. They basically read sentences to everyone, and there was no hope that these people would learn to write.  At that time, the Qin State had unified its writing system, and it was still so difficult for the world to accept unified laws. Not to mention that now different countries have different writing and different languages. It is basically impossible to unite the nobles and landlords in the world, let alone let them  They all understand the difference between Huayi and Huayi, benevolence, righteousness and universal love.

    Yunyao¡¯s idea is very good, but Sun Bin pointed out the most difficult point to the point.

    "Since Wei Wuzu can allow the landlord's family to support the food and drink of a soldier, then it is also possible to allow the landlord's family to support a scholar." Yunyao said.

    Sun Bin shook his head: "Studying is different from fighting. A war can end in a year and a half and go home, and if you win, you will receive a reward, so the family only needs to provide rations for a year, and you can also get rewards in return.  And what about studying? A year of study is just an introduction, and a few years of study may not necessarily yield results. In the past few years, it has been just expenses and no income. I don¡¯t think there are many families that can support it. Landlords don¡¯t have any surplus food. "

    The landlord here refers to the owner of the land, not the feudal big landowners in the future.  As long as you own a piece of land, it belongs to the landlord. As for the amount of output, it is completely unfixed. It will definitely not be too much. Otherwise, there will not be many landlords to borrow money from the feudal nobles.

    But having landlord families participate in the war at their own expense is indeed a very economical approach to national expenditure.  A Qin landowner's family may have to provide one or two soldiers with expenses, including food and clothing.  When the Qin State fought annexation wars, they would last for two or three years, so the burden on the family was very heavy.

    But this is the tradition of Chinese farmers. Generally speaking, a family supports a person who leaves the farmland. From a craftsman, to a scholar, to a soldier, and finally to an intellectual, the pattern has not changed for three thousand years.

    Sun Bin is indeed very powerful. He thought that the cost of studying is much higher than going to war. Studying takes several years and is completely unproductive. Soldiers who go to war for a year may even bring back rewards when they return home.  Therefore, it is too difficult for landlords to support scholars, even harder than supporting soldiers.

    ¡°As long as we collect less taxes, wouldn¡¯t every landlord¡¯s family be able to support a student?¡± Yunyao said.

    Sun Bin smiled bitterly and said: "We made a big circle and came back. The original intention of our discussion was that Qi State has encountered a problem now, that is, Qi State is unwilling to give benefits to the landlords, and the reason for not giving benefits is because the nobles and landlords do not have a unified transcendence  The rules of blood. Now we say that we need to popularize education, cultivate scholars, increase the influence of landlords, and make both nobles and landlords accept the new rules. ButIn a circle, the prerequisite is that the nobles give away profits first and collect less taxes?  Isn't this like a wheel that spins around and solves nothing?  "

    Let everyone accept the new rules before giving up the benefits. To learn new rules, you must first give up the benefits.  Isn't this endless?

    How was the landlord problem solved in history?  It is very simple that some landowners get rich first, break the knowledge monopoly of the nobles, and then appoint more landowners, just like during the Han Dynasty.

    During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, every family with two boys had to have a soldier, and every family with only daughters needed to raise horses. It was because of this that the feat of attacking the Huns in the north was achieved.  The landowners were willing to support Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty because of their filial piety and integrity, which allowed them to select talents from among the lower-level landowners. Every family could have the chance to honor their ancestors. After all, all they had to do was give birth to a good, filial son. Moreover, productivity exploded again in the Han Dynasty.  In one wave, every household had a car and iron farm tools.

    During the Warring States Period, iron farm tools were not yet fully popularized. Most landowners owed money to their lords, had to pay taxes, and had to send their children to fight, and they themselves had to endure the intrusion of war.  Landowners during the Warring States Period lived in dire straits, so how could they possibly become wealthy?

    And even if a small number of landowners became wealthy during the Warring States Period, they would spontaneously integrate into the aristocratic class after being enfeoffed into the nobility, and spontaneously become a force to protect the hereditary nobility.  Unlike the Han Dynasty, when enfeoffment was abolished, landlords could no longer become members of the nobility.

    ??During the Warring States Period, hereditary nobility was still a coveted circle for everyone in the world. If you kill the old nobility, new nobility will always appear, just like leeks.

    Therefore, the Warring States Period was not the Han Dynasty. The landlords who got rich first would also become nobles and would not cheer for the landlord class, unless the landlord class in the Warring States Period was as powerful as the Han Dynasty.

    But if the landlords in the Warring States Period were so powerful, it wouldn¡¯t be the Warring States Period anymore. The productivity lies here.  The Song Dynasty was actually the country with the best chance of wiping out the nobility. However, the giant was taken away by Taozu. Since then, the Mo family has been maintaining stability and lost the ability to innovate. In the end, it split into several parts and could no longer lead the landlords to surpass the nobility.

    How to promote equal education between landlords and nobles in the Warring States Period, an era of limited productivity?  Either follow the example of the Qin nobles and give profits to the landlords. The long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain.  Either it is to rely on the prestige of the Mohist at the bottom and raise his arms, there is no other way.

    Yunyao said a lot but then went back to the original place, because she didn't really want to help Qi to reform. Her goal was Sun Bin. This military strategist was so smart that he would definitely be able to resist Western religion. He was really the best choice for the Heavenly Official.
