After the month, it was August and the weather gradually became a little cold.

Mo people from all over the country who were notified to participate in this synonym returned to Pei County, including Pengcheng, Chu, or from Song and Qi.

Shi Gao's grandson came back a few days ago. Teng land was very close to Pei County. The city walls of Teng land and the three fortresses that guarded the four realms were being built. Everything was done step by step and there was no mistake.

The riders scattered everywhere to reward the Yue people's movements every day, and the Mozhe in the Qi area of ​​Wu and Yue also brought back the required information.

It seems that the Yue people are in contact with the Tian family of Qi, but it is impossible to move troops for the time being. At least it will not be possible until next spring and summer.

Hu Feizi did a good job in Qi State. Tian was repairing the Great Wall of the Bian Yue State, and the Great Wall that was demolished by the Three Jins near Pingyin was also quietly built.

Wei Zheng and Chu fought fiercely. Qi did not dare to send troops directly this time, but it still provided enough help to Chu. He wanted to rely on Chu to restrain the power of the Three Jins. At the same time, he also took advantage of the situation after the Mo family seized Teng's country and prepared for Yue in a planned manner.

Although the Tian family knew that the Mohist family helped the Teng Kingdom to restore the country this time had nothing to do with Qi Kingdom, everything had been done, so Qi Kingdom was naturally happy to see the decline of Yue Kingdom.

There is no need to send envoys to communicate with each other. This matter involves the interests of the Tian family. It still makes Yue unable to understand what the Qi country's attitude would be, and dare not move troops easily.

In this case, it is believed that this year can be fully safely passed.

Nowadays, countries need enough preparation time to send troops. Although Jin and Chu have been fighting for years in recent years, the real decisive battle has not yet begun, and it is a scale of 30,000 to 50,000 people every year. It cannot be larger. No matter how large it is, the logistics of both countries will be difficult to support.

Nowadays, Pei County has not yet made a comprehensive war preparation, and this matter can only be carried out after this synonym meeting, and it must be approved and approved.

After returning to Pei County, Shi did not visit other Mo people or friends, but went directly to meet Mozi.

Mo Zi is sick and is a little thin, but he looks good.

After Ji entered the room, Mo Zi waved at Ji and said with a smile: "You are back early. Needless to say, there will be a notice every few days. Since you are returning early, there must be something else, just tell me."

Shi smiled, knelt down next to Mo Zi, took out several books from the package behind him and said, "You can read these books by Giant Zi."

Mo Zi took it, looked at the book, and saw that the name was taken with the four words "The Essence of Mohist School". He already understood the meaning of the message in his heart, and smiled and said, "You are afraid that I will die of old age and let me see it before I die?"

He lowered his head and said, "The Mo family is not afraid of death, and he respects the heavens. He does not seek to die during the burial. He knows what his teacher thinks, but it is nothing more than benefiting the world. Therefore, the secretary of the book was compiling this set of books before, and the teacher knew it. The disciples thought about the meaning of the Mo family in Teng land and gained something. In order to make more people understand it, they wrote this book "The Essence of the Mo family" in some plain language, and asked the teacher to read it."

Mozi nodded, flipped around casually, and continued on the side: "Zhongni said, "Tell me, but I don't do it. He can do it, but Mohism can't do it."

"Confucianism admires the past, so it can describe the past. Confucianism is conservative, so it will definitely not be done. Since the gentleman said, 'Yao is good at governing, and from now on, it has been in the past. Since ancient times, Yao cannot govern,' then the Mohist school has to do it."

Confucius said but did not do it, and the meaning of this work was to change and revolution.

To describe but not to do means to state the wisdom and experience of the ancients and not to add to one's own thoughts. Not to do means not to change or to one's own understanding.

This is completely different from the Mohist school.

Both Confucian and Mohist schools praised the ancient sage kings, but the Mohist schools believed that "Yao was good at governing, and since the present, it has been in the past. Since the present, Yao could not govern."

It is believed that the "benevolent" heart of the ancient sage kings was to love the world, learn and praise.

However, the "righteousness" of the sage kings in ancient times could not govern the current world.

I knew that Mozi had been a non-Confucian life, and after saying this, I couldn't help but tell a joke about non-Confucianism in later generations, saying: "There was someone from Chu who walked through the river. His sword fell from the boat and immediately set up his boat, saying, "This is where my sword fell from the boat." The boat stopped, and the one who had met entered the water to ask for it. The boat had already gone, but the sword could not work. Isn't it a confusing to ask for the sword if it was like this?"

Mozi laughed and said, "That's the truth. The Confucian scholar carved a boat and sought a sword, but could not govern the world. Yao's political morality could not be considered good politics at this time. Can the morality of Confucian scholars govern the world?"

With a smile, he coughed a few more times, and looked down at the compiled "The Essence of Mohist School" sent by Shi.

He understood Shi's meaning, and he was about to die. If he wanted to prevent the Mohist school from having six points in Confucianism, he, the founder of the Mohist school, had to leave a complete theory so as not to be taken out of context.

In the 28th year of Duke Xiang of Lu, Cui Zi in Qi State rebelled and the Qing clan married the Lu clan. Some people opposed it: Qing clan and Lu clan are both descendants of the Jiang clan. How could you marry Qing Jiang, who is the same clan?

The people of the Lu family replied: "Qingshe does not avoid the same ancestry. He wants to marry his daughter to me. Why should I avoid it? Just like someone cut off the Book of Songs and only picks up the parts they need to express their meaning. I only take what I want, what are the same ancestry and different ances?

It has been a long time since Mozi knew the reason why Confucianism is now six points, so he cares about the book in his hand very much.

Originally, as a secretary, he was just to organize the remarks of the genius. This was decided a few years ago when the position of secretary was first established.

The secretary and secretary kept sorting out, but he didn't relax, so he got the book "The Essence of the Mohist School" that Mozi saw now.

He looked through it and found that the set of books was divided into three parts.

The first part is his daily remarks. After some disciples recalled it, the secretary compiled it out. The genre is similar to "The Analects of Confucius" and a bit like "The Strategies of the Warring States". It can be said to be Mozi's remarks in his life, or it can be said to be a model of debate between Mozi and other schools.

The first part is divided into several volumes in total.

According to the custom of the Analects of Confucius, the first two words of the beginning are used as the title.

The five articles "Gengzhu", "Gong Meng", "Guiyi", "Lu Wen", and "Gongshu" all existed originally.

However, in addition to these five articles, there are two more.

The first two words of the article are "Shengchuo". Although it is named "Rebel Mo", it is actually a private product that is suitable for mixed results.

Since the reign of Shengchuo of Shangqiu, he mainly wanted to write the article Mozi praised him back then, but after all, he was embarrassed to use his name as the title of the book, so he had to borrow the name of Shengchuo first.

The article "Free Destiny" has the same title, and the content also tells the story of "human efforts can change destiny, but there is no destiny in the world." This is to oppose the Confucian destiny, oppose the "hard destiny" of Yang Zhu and Lie Zi and other contents.
