Chapter 280: You Shi's Pei Salvation (End)
Different people have different pursuits. They were originally unable to understand them. Until he came to this troubled time and saw a person like Mo Zi, he finally understood the difference between this pursuit and demeanor.
He didn't know who the old man was in front of him, but he heard that he was skilled in medical skills.
If a doctor seeks fame and profit, he will not come here at this time.
Even though the Mohist school is very utilitarian, fame and fortune in the eyes of ordinary people are meaningless to such people.
Being famous in history is also a kind of pursuit of fame, and exploring and puzzling is also a kind of pursuit. I feel that it is difficult for such people to impress them with the principles of ordinary people.
Just like Mo Zi, as one of the two ten heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what he pursued was something that ordinary people could understand but might not be so persistent.
Shi didn't brag about anything. The way he called was just a combination of empiricist summary and rational inference, which was universal at this time when the natural discipline was developed.
Changsangjun read some articles by Shi and knew that what this person said was true. After thinking for a while, he thought that he already had a disciple like Qin Yan and could teach everything he learned throughout his life.
And the more things I want to get seem far away, but it seems that it is not out of reach here in the Mohist family, which is constantly creating amazing legends.
Seeing Shi say this, he smiled and nodded, and finally said, "The old man is called Changsang Jun. This is my disciple Qin Huan, whose courtesy name is Yue Ren."
He held his own identity. Although he had never met Mo Zi, the two of them had a reputation for each other. Shi was Mo Zi's disciples, so he introduced Qin Wen to Yu Shi.
When I looked at Qin Yan who was beside me, I muttered in my heart, and couldn't help but feel excited.
Qin Yue people?
Of course, he had never seen this person who was named Bian Que in later generations, but he always felt that this person should be an old man with a long hair and a young face in the books he had read.
Unexpectedly, he was a young man who was almost the same age as him. After saluting him, Shi hurriedly returned the gift, suppressing the excitement in his heart and not daring to show it.
He had seen or heard of many people. This excitement was only due to the fact that the Mohist family finally attracted the talents that the Mohist family was in urgent need by relying on the sayings of benefiting the world.
After a few years of experience, I was no longer the boy who was filled with joy and anger. I just looked at the Qin Yue people who could not be called Bian Que at this time.
The records of "Records of the Grand Historian" are mixed with many myths and legends. According to the records of the Grand Historian, the Qin Yue people obtained Changsangjun's magic medicine. After taking it for a month, their eyes were like magnetic resonance, which could intuitively visualize the internal organs. The diagnosis seemed to be just to cover up the secrets of the eyes.
Shi felt that this might just be a fantasy of the ancients about medicine. Uncle Ma said that myths are an art of using imagination and the help of imagination to conquer natural forces, dominate natural forces, and visualize natural forces. Now, the myths about Bian Que are probably also a direction of development of medical skills at this time.
It originated from witchcraft and from the sutures and dissections needed by nobles' funerals. In the end, people wanted to explore the mysteries of the human body and know the movement of internal organs, so they had the eyes of Bian Que in the myth.
Naturally, he didn't believe in words such as taking medicine and taking bright eyes. Therefore, he believed that Changsang Jun's methods must be superb. He was not an immortal, but a famous doctor who traveled all over the world, passing on all his life to his disciples.
At this time, he could not show his shock to the Qin Yue people, but he could express his shock to the Changsang Jun. After all, this is a person mentioned by many people in the Mohist school.
After the salute, he said, "I have heard your reputation be mentioned by my husband and fellow disciples, saying that you traveled to Cangwu, Beihai and saved people and benefit the world. We are a person that our Mohist family has always admired."
Changsang Jun also replied: "Mo Di works righteousness in the world, strives to love both without attacks, and die without regrets, and I admire it."
After praising each other, he said: "I once heard from people who are good at fishing that carp must use fragrant bait, and catfish must use smelly bait. This time, I don't know which bait attracts you?"
In terms of fishing, Changsang Jun was extremely proud of his identity. Changsang Jun smiled and said, "The saying of benefiting the world has always been my favorite bait. It was only when Shangqiu fought against the Central Plains to stop the war, and the Mo family placed the fishing hook."
"There is only a bait but no hook. Even if some fish want to get ashore, they don't know how to get on."
Hearing this, he smiled, said a few more words, and invited Changsang Jun to get on the car and headed to Peiyi together.
…………
By the time of wheat harvest in May, in addition to the Mohist organizations in various parts of the Central Plains returning to Peiyi, there were also more than 2,000 travelers, down-and-out nobles, commoners, farmers, industrialists and commercial people who came from all over the country intermittently, totaling more than 2,000 people.
Among them are people like Changsangjun who are already famous all over the world, and many farmers and workers who are poor and rely on the support of the Mohist family to become a member of the country.
Before his death, King Xiong of Chu also fulfilled his promise to the Mo family and moved five hundred craftsmen to Peiyi.
In addition, in the past few years, there were three to five thousand people who came to Peiyi with various purposes.
The number of people is not large. For Mo Zhai, who is "one person in the city of 30,000 households can control", this number of people can be clearly allocated.
As for the grain accumulated by Peiyi in recent years, there will be no food crisis even if there are three or five thousand people added.
From the west to Wancheng in Danyang and to the east to Gaomi in Jimo, people from different places gather here and speak dialects from various places. In time, a tone based on Song local dialects and integrating dialects from all over the world will gradually emerge.
This is something that can be expected and predicted.
There have been so many people coming, but the number of people in the Mo family has not increased much. In recent years, the conditions for entering the Mo family are still harsh. From more than 400 people when they first came, it has now increased to more than 600 people.
Those newcomers are not real Mo people, but can only be regarded as some people who admire Mo family. If they make good use of it, they can join the Mo family.
The Mohist school needs to develop and grow, fresh blood, and even more, while strictly abide by the rules, appropriately relax the conditions.
But this matter is not something that can be decided by oneself, and it must be approved by Juzi, the Mohist Qi Wulai and others.
When the Mohist school is no longer a secret organization, it means that the Mohist school must clearly explain its political purpose and become a political group with clear purpose.
What to do?
How to do it?
Who should be defeated?
What kind of rules and regulations should be implemented?
They must no longer hide their ideas, and they must be known to the world, and they must be developed through the 20 years of the chaotic war in the Central Plains.
I feel that it is time to put some things on the surface, and at least some short-term goals can be put on the surface.
Only by putting it on the surface can the scale and number of the Mo family be expanded, and the Mo family can still be united under a fixed goal after Mozi's death.
Thousands of people came to Peiyi. It seemed that the gathering of Mozhes was about discussing the fact that these people joined the Mo family. In fact, they wanted to determine the ultimate goal of the Mo family and to shout out the Mo family's views to the outside world so that these people could join.
What exactly is the Mohist family going to do?
In fact, many people who came here did not know it, and even some of the ink masters did not know it.
Love both, not attacking, and advocating virtuous are the ultimate goal.
But the process of achieving the "Perfect Land" has not been explained clearly.
In other words, if we eliminate the superficial things in the "Perfect Land", what kind of system should the world be? What kind of land belongs? What kind of basis for the regulation?
This is a compulsory practice that must be clarified, and it also means that once it is clarified, the enemies of the Mo family will also understand who their enemies are.
But in the same way, those who are determined to do so will flock to you without fear of difficulties.
Between choices and trade-offs, there is adaptation, not others.
Because he wanted to clarify the problem at this Mohist gathering, and other people might not necessarily clarify the problem except him.
Many Mo people thought that the Mo family gathered this time was just because the battle for hegemony in Jin and Chu again and what should the Mo family do after the Central Plains's resolute wars died?
In fact, the failure of the Central Plains to stop the war is to pour cold water on some of the Mo people who are addicted to fantasy; the resurgence of the Jin and Chu battle for hegemony is the perfect external environment after the Mo family no longer fantasizes.
This time the gathering is not that simple.
Mo Zi could vaguely notice something, because the publicity direction of Xuanyi Department these days seems to be fine, but if you read it carefully, you will always feel something is wrong.
He did not doubt the situation, but was just reflecting on some of his previous thoughts.
The almost successful Central Plains quarrel was the closest to realization of all the ideals of Mozi's love and development.
I was just happy for less than half a year and everything turned into a bubble.
In recent years, I have mentioned the combination of fists and principles many times. Looking back on all this, Mo Zi also faintly realized some smell.
I have been practicing righteousness for fifty years, and have been talking about the principles for thirty years. I have met Kings of Chu, Kings of Yue, Duke of Song, Duke of Lu, Duke of Qi and other monarchs, and guarded the big and small cities of boiled jujubes in Kaiyang, Pinglu, Shangqiu.
But in the end, no monarch listened to his ideas. Even those monarchs felt that what they said was reasonable, and they were impressed by their knowledge and abilities.
However, in the battle of Shangqiu, the King of Chu was captured by force, and the power of the Central Plains was balanced. The gunpowder and the ink help defend the city, and the balance of the great power was maintained stable... It almost led to the dream of stopping the war in the Central Plains, Mo Zi's wish to think of for decades.
This is not something that is said by talking about the princes and nobles... Xuanyi tribe did not talk about the princes and nobles, but only talked about the common people, industry and commerce in Shangqiu.
His dream has never changed, it is to save the world, save the chaotic times after the collapse of rituals and music.
There are two ways to save you. You either go back to everything in the old era, or you can kill the old and establish the new, replace the old rules with new ones that conform to the times, and achieve great governance in the world.
This is the fundamental difference between the Mohist and Confucianism, and it is also the reason why the two sides finally forced a special branch in the Huang-Lao School to reconcile the conflict between Confucian and Mohism.
He wanted to save the world, and after seeing so many people from all over the world gathered in Peiyi, he recognized the saying "This is the beginning of saving the world."
But the end is the starting point.
