Chapter 145: Hundreds of times the gold and jade return (thirteen)

A wall and a line separate the Jin and Chu who had fought for two hundred years.

Gong Zaoye and Mo Chengzi crossed those two lines and asked what these people really wanted. Based on their own inferences and guesses, they guessed the ideas of the people of Jin and Chu, and then summarized them and returned them to Mo Zi.

The Wei people wanted agricultural transformation technologies such as crops, compost, good seeds, ridges, rotations, etc., and also wanted to get new handicraft products such as grass, silk, and carts.

The Chu people wanted more because they didn't know what Mozhe had here at first, and after seeing it, they knew all kinds of benefits, so they hoped for more.

The opinions of these two parties were summarized by public and imitated, and submitted to the high-level discussion of the ink master.

After hearing the two of them, Mo Zi couldn't help but feel "fantasy" in his heart again, thinking that this was really an opportunity to benefit the world.

After hearing the two of them say, Shi was filled with vigilance, thinking that whether it was Weis or the newly succeeded King Xiong Dang of Chu, they were all heroes. When the two heroes competed, there would be another chaos in the world.

In fact, the two people had similar ideas, but Mo Zi still had a little fantasy about the princes and nobles.

It is also possible that he is just that he is old and even if he proposes a way to make a contribution to the world, he feels it is too long. Mozi may hope that he can see the world's great magic before he leaves this world and wraps the body with a three-inch coffin.

The top figures of more than 20 Mohist selected from more than 400 Mohist masters have their own thoughts. It is not the seven enlightenment. They only have the right to propose but no voting rights, so they are waiting for others to express their ideas.

After a while, Mo Zi said, "The Wei people ask for us, and the Chu people ask for us, and the things they ask for benefit the world. So... I was wondering, is this an opportunity to benefit the world?"

He glanced at the disciples sitting next to him and suddenly asked, "Shi, what is the wealth of the king?"

After thinking about it, he replied, "This is divided into public and private. In terms of private theory, it is beautiful girls, pearls and jade, land, and palaces. In terms of public theory, it is this country. The foundation of a country is the people, and as the symbol of sovereignty of all people, the prosperity of all people is the wealth of the king. In terms of public theory, the wealth of the king can only be the wealth of the people."

This is a sovereignty statement that has stripped away reality, and has changed the concept and turned the king into a symbol of sovereignty. It is not a specific person.

However, Mozi and the other Momen agreed with this statement and nodded one after another.

The difference between public and private is the difference between a king as a symbol of sovereignty and a family individual. This is easy to understand for Zhu Xia, who has always been very clear about public, private, political affairs, and family affairs.

Mozi asked, "As you said, should the king be a public or a private?"

"In theory, it should be public."

Mo Zi nodded and hesitated for a moment: "Then what is the purpose of expeditioning war and hegemony? If it is for the prosperity of the people, there is no need for unjust wars. As long as it can develop production as appropriate, the country will not increase, but wealth can always double to double within twenty years."

This is the Mozhe's always proposition, and to some extent it is also the same proposition.

However, in order to achieve this goal, Shi and Mozi's opinions were different.

I felt that if you unify it, there would be no need to fight. Even if you cannot achieve complete unification of counties and counties, you can have the strength to completely crush the relatives of each family at the beginning of the feudal period of the Zhou emperor. You can use the sword of the world to force the kings of the world to attack.

Mo Zi felt that perhaps it could be explained clearly to the king. As long as the truth was explained clearly, this was actually an easy choice. In terms of interests, non-aggression brings more benefits than unjust wars. As long as the interests are explained clearly, when encountering a smart king, you should not do those harmful and unprofitable things.

When Shi heard Mo Zi say this, he knew that Mo Zi might still have fantasies in his heart, at least they have been hiding in his heart. Even though it has proved that this road is not working for many years, he is still looking forward to trying it.

After all, this seems to be a shortcut, a shortcut that can quickly benefit the world.

Moreover, according to the Mohist logic deduction technique, there is really no reason why we can develop productivity but we have to go to war.

A sage governs a country, and a country can be doubled; a great ruler in the world can be doubled. If it is a big ruler, the world can be doubled. If it is a double, it is not a foreign land acquisition, because the country has lost its useless expenses, it is enough to doubled. The sage king governs, and he makes orders, promotes affairs, and uses the people, and uses money. He will do everything in addition.

If the policy of governing the country cannot double the wealth of the country, it should not be done according to logic and principle.

But some of the Mozhes never figured out a problem. Not everyone in the world is logical and reasonable.

In fact, even Shi himself didn't understand what the purpose of the current war was.

The emerging landlord class has not yet taken power, and it is not for land; the inheritance law of Zhuxia is not that complicated, and the nobles are not for inheritance rights; the only Mo people who are interested in benefiting the world, conquering the world, and have their own political programs and representative classes are still in their infancy and cannot fight; the reasons for bourgeois wars such as monopoly and dumping for markets are not even exposed; Zhuxia is a small family slavery, not a large-scale slavery, and it is not right to fight for slaves; the reforms of various countries have not been successful, and the self-cultivated farming class and the emerging military merit landlord class have no driving force, which is not a reason...

But since two hundred years ago, I was fighting, and it was a huge fight between my relatives, nephews and uncles, and my mother tribes were having a lot of fun.

If you are just reasoning, you won’t even understand what the purpose of the war is at this time.

The man talks about reasoning and logic, while being rational and logic often seeks the root cause in a depressed manner.

Mozi has been seeking the truth for half his life and feels that logically, the only thing that makes sense is that "unrighteous battles can gain benefits."

So I came up with a logical idea: as long as I can give a proof, it is possible to obtain benefits without an unjust war, and the benefits obtained are more than the unjust war, and it seems that the war in the world will perish.

Mo Zi was somewhat of a change in thinking by what he had been talking about in the past two years, so he was extremely hesitant.

Looking at the disciples sitting on the left and right, he said for a long time: "What are people making clothes and furs? They are used to keep warm in winter and prevent heat in summer. All the principles of sewing clothes can increase warmth in winter and increase coolness in summer. If they meet, they will gain it; if they cannot increase it, they will be removed. What are people building houses? They are used to resist wind and cold in winter, and in summer, they will be used to protect against heat and rain. If they have thieves, they will be improved; if they do not meet, they will be removed."

"Everything must have a purpose. What is the purpose of the king?"

"I think he has to know his purpose first, and then formulate appropriate policies for his purpose. People know the purpose of clothes, so the clothes are getting better and better; people know the purpose of houses, so the house is getting better and better."

"The king may think, I want to fight for hegemony. But is fighting for hegemony the purpose of being a monarch?"

"Just like clothes, you can want to make clothes hot in summer and cold in winter... You can, but this is not the purpose of making clothes. If you explain the truth clearly, will the king understand..."

He glanced at Shi and said solemnly: "I understand that the king is only the sovereignty of the state, and his wealth and glory can only come from the wealth and prosperity of all the people."

Mozi could even think that Shi would object, so he took a look at Shi first.

After hearing this, Shi stopped nodding and thought to himself: "Sir, what you said is so reasonable... The problem is that you think the king is just a symbol of sovereignty of the state, but the king is unwilling. This requires using a sword to force them to be willing, but it is not something that can be explained clearly."

Mo Zi nodded a little strangely and asked, "Shi, do you think these principles are correct?"

Shi said repeatedly: "Mr. What is the truth of me? I think so too."

Anyway, I am just talking about reasoning now, and I have not talked about the practice yet. It is impossible to directly oppose the possible practices based on reasoning.

Mozi asked the other disciples again, and the other disciples agreed, no matter how they thought it was, they felt that the truth seemed to be true.

Since everyone does not object to this principle, it is even synonymous with the highest and lowest levels.

Mo Zi said, "Now, the people of Wei and Chu have something to ask for us. All kinds of new and strange skills can benefit the world."

"I used to think that it might take thirty years to double wealth. But now many things that are introduced by Tianzhi make me think that it only takes three or five years to double wealth. What kind of war can double wealth within three or five years?"

"So, I think this is an opportunity. With the opportunity they have to ask for us, promote the various morals of the Meghan. If possible, I can even come forward to meet Weiss and Xiong Dang in person."

"Wei and Chu do not fight, re-establish and resolve the war, develop their own ways, and increase the wealth of the people... Perhaps it is possible. Isn't this more beneficial to the world?"

"Since Shi said that there is a natural contradiction between the monarch and the nobles of the feudal division, I agree with this point. So can we Mo people use this contradiction and cooperate with the monarch to suppress the nobles of the feudal division? In this way, the king needs to rely on our strength and can only accept our proposition of benefiting the world."

"We have seen the governance of Wei and Chu in Pei County. So as long as we Mozhe can help the king to let him see that according to us, we do not need an unjust war and our wealth can also increase. Will we be able to gain the world faster?"

"Mo can continue to train those who are officials, go to Wei and Chu to support the reform of the king, and at the same time uphold the spirit of benefiting the world... As long as the king uses Mo as officials, isn't Mo's righteousness the world's righteousness?"

After hearing this, Shi was shocked and said to himself: "Sir, you want to lean right... Qin Mo has proved that this method is not possible..."

Mozi also talked about the remaining many things, which roughly means: Can we continue to send Mo people to benefit the world while maintaining the foundation of the Mo people in Peixian while constantly sending Mo people to use the conflicts between kings and nobles... This seems that we have not given up our independence, but once implemented, it will never be so simple.

It is not only Qin Mo who has proved this way, but also other things have proved this way. Once the king's power is enough to suppress the nobles, he will immediately join forces with the nobles to eliminate the overly radical Mo people.

At that time, I am afraid that I will lose my independence and my armed forces are not strong enough to protect myself... the body of the Mozhe who will hang from the snow-covered Yan Zi Bamboo to the Chenyang of Chu, which is spring all year round.

Most of the time is the time, and it is supported by Mozi's decision, and to be a good student and a good disciple perfectly.

This time, this was the first time he participated in this meeting of the Mozhe high-level meeting as the Xuanyi radical.
