Chapter 392: The administration and administration seek a thousand miles (5)
Shi did not lie. Everything he said was true. It is true that the centralization of the Mohist family requires everyone to discuss, but once the result is agreed, there is no change and it will do its best, and it will not conflict with the idea of centralization of the Mohist family.
At this time, the senior executives of the Mohist family in Pei County were really discussing this matter.
However, unlike the shock and excitement of Wanmin of Pei County who received the news of a great victory, the senior Mohist leaders present did not have many surprises about the outcome of this victory.
Before the decisive battle, Shi had submitted a general idea of this war and had reported it to the Mohist Central Committee a few months ago.
Everyone present knew that the Yue people were forced to fight to the decisive battle with strategic intimidation until the final battle was encircled and annihilated.
Moreover, many people defended the city within the Mohist family, and although many people could fight in the field, they knew the new tactics of gunpowder weapons and stirrup cavalry to cooperate with each other, so he was the commander of this decisive battle.
Although the result was not shocked, everyone was still conveying the statistics of the results they sent and was very excited.
Things that are too far away need to be discussed.
And what is nearby, after this incident, the situation in Si is unstoppable, and the Mo family will obtain several times the land and population of two counties and one country today.
The previous debate about "stop wars in the Central Plains" or "development of Si Shang" has temporarily disappeared with this war.
Many of the suggestions in the letter of advice that were sent need discussion and time.
But after these things were agreed by the majority in principle, Mozi immediately issued several orders as the head of the township school and the master.
The township school in Pei County has always been the school introduction and the deputy, and the real principal who is named has always been Mo Zi.
With the release of these orders from Mozi, some travelers in Pei County received a strange invitation.
A few years ago, the Mohist school invited the world's scholars to Pei to study. With the spread of "Shan Hai Jing" and the "Tang Wen" books that debated with Liezi, many scholars were very interested in the "strange" view of the world of Mohist school.
Just like those who came to Pei County with Changsangjun, many people may not be interested in things like benefiting the world, but they are not interested in whether the earth under their feet is round and what is the sun? Are there really strange countries like the "Shan Hai Jing" outside the countries?
After they came to Pei County, they learned the Mohist writings and read a lot of books from the Mohist family. Many people joined the Mohist family and became Mohist people. However, some of them were still not used to the Mohist family's extremely disciplined organizational model and did not join.
But they did not leave, because Peixian is indeed different from other parts of the world, and many new things can only be learned here.
After the Battle of Shangqiu, after these wandering soldiers came to Pei County, some Mozhes did some investigations and registrations: Why did everyone come to Pei County for? What do they want to learn? What are they most interested in?
In line with the household registration system under the jurisdiction of the Mo family, the Mo family also knew the residence of these people.
About 150 Youshis who received these strange invitations were invited to go to Peixian Township School in two days, and Mo Zi invited him to invite him.
Everyone already knew that the Mohist righteous army had captured the King of Yue in the Hanshui army, but these things seemed to have nothing to do with them.
In addition, these people also knew that the Mo family was busy at this time, and their busyness about the post-war affairs had just begun.
But at this time, the more than 150 people were surprised when they received the invitation from Mo Zi.
Mo Zi is old and no longer accepts disciples. He rarely meets and invites people alone. Although these people have seen Mo Zi from afar, few of them are really talking.
Not to mention Mozi's invitation, even if Shi was able to come forward to invite them every few months, they would feel great honor. What's more, the person who invited them this time was Mozi, the principal of the township school. Most of the Mo family's knowledge began with Zi Mozi's words, and most of the people thought that Mozi's knowledge was far better than Shi.
Two days later, 150 people gathered at the Peixian Township School, but none of them were absent.
When the old Mozi met them, everyone performed the etiquette of disciples. This was a respect for knowledge and respect for the old man.
According to everyone's habits, after each kneeling, Mozi sat opposite everyone, accompanied by several disciples.
The orders or invitations issued by Mozi were discussed with him a long time ago, so this seemed absurd scene: When the Mo family was busy with Si Shui affairs, the Mo family giant took a long time to meet some wandering scholars who were not Mo people, which shows the Mo family's importance to this matter.
Mo Zi asked all over the audience, "You are invited to come today. I think you must have read "Shan Hai Jing" and "Tang Wen" and other books. You must be full of doubts and don't know whether it is true or false. You must have many questions in your heart, right?"
When he asked this, more than a hundred people present suddenly felt that they were being slutty and couldn't help asking questions in a slight manner.
"Mr. Mozi, is the earth under our feet really round? Shi once explained why the people under our feet did not fall behind by the relationship between Cishi and Tie, but we still find it difficult to understand."
"Mr. Modi, is it true that there is a country that has built a fifty-foot tower tens of thousands of miles away? It is like gold in the shape of a character, and is built with stones? Which country is the Queen Mother of the West, where Emperor Mu traveled in the past?"
"Mr. Mozi, if the earth under my feet is round, I keep walking north and reaching the extreme north, but I have not changed direction, but in the eyes of the rest of the people, I am walking south. Can the north and south also change?"
"Mr. Mozi, are there really some countries whose cultures are no less than the summer? Are they really ceaseless in the four years, and racing and fighting?"
"Mr. Mozi, is it true that in the south of the extreme Arctic, there is really a situation where the sunrise does not fall in March and the sunset does not come out in March?"
…………
Questions were raised one by one.
Some are real problems.
Some are questions that belong to "debating skills". For example, the question from the north and south actually involves the relativity of space, which Mozi can answer, and there are many people in the world who can answer in addition to the Mo family. Liezi can actually answer this question from the debating skills.
What Mozi is concerned about, or what he hopes that the world will pay attention to, is not these debate issues, but those realistic issues.
Mozi thought of the first thing he did after he had just joined the Mo family and made the paper out: he drew many villains who fought with swords and turned over the paper, and those villains seemed to have survived.
At that time, Shi did not just say the arguments similar to "shadows do not move", but said that "the will of heaven should first be based on verification, and verification is contrary to debate, and verification is the basis."
Over the years, the Mohist school has been practicing these words.
So after everyone calmed down, Mo Zi told the story again and said, "Many things will go against common sense. The eyes may even deceive themselves. If the paper cannot be stopped or read in a single piece, I am afraid that many people will think there are really two living villains in it, right?"
Everyone nodded, and Mozi said again: "So, some things need to be verified."
"As far as the saying goes, there are such countries thousands of miles away, because his Master has been there. So, those countries are thousands of miles away. Can't we go and see if there are any countries?"
"It is said that in the extreme north, sunsets and sunrises are often for several months, which is exactly the same as the explanations of heaven, earth, sun and moon in "Tangwen". If it is true, at least it proves that those explanations may be correct, and some of the explanations below today must be wrong."
"This is what the Mohist debate technique can prove. There is only one kind of Tianzhi. If there is one reason that does not conform to the 'tianzhi', then the Tianzhi must be wrong. As for the compatible, it can only prove that it may be correct, but if the second one can meet all the previous explanations, it is at least stronger than the explanations that must be wrong. Is this the truth?"
Those people nodded, but some people heard a different meaning. They thought to themselves, would the Mohist school want to organize them to verify this?
Although there were rumors when I came, there has been no movement over the years.
Nowadays, the only force that can be organized to verify with more than 100 people is the only one in the current Mohist family who can organize this kind of power.
Connections, reputation, and wealth are indispensable, but how can the princes of various countries have such thoughts?
At this time, the world was extremely uneasy. All the wanderers who could travel and even come to Pei County were proficient in swordsmanship. Because the people in the villages were not so kind, the grassroots control of various countries was basically empty, and things like blocking roads, robbery, killing, and robbing people. Those who could travel around must have a good family background. In addition to receiving a lot of knowledge since childhood, they also had swordsmanship education.
But it is impossible for them to do these verifications alone, but if an organization can organize these people, even if it is still difficult, it may not be impossible.
Mozi said again: "In a few days, the Mo family will send envoys to Wei, Zhao, Yan and other places. This time, I invite you to come here because I want to take this opportunity to let you follow. At that time, in addition to the Si Shui affairs, the envoys will also persuade the kings of various countries to send three or five people to follow. With the combined force of the Xia, the Mo family will pay to verify the matter."
"You want to know, and I want to know too. After all, if you are a person, you need to verify it. Since it exists, then go and see if it is true!"
"If you want, the Mohist family will support you horses, money, food, muskets. And they will train you to use muskets and how to ride horses."
"At that time, it will be divided into two teams."
"A team of envoys who followed Yan State, you sent twenty people, and ten people from the Mo family, heading north, passing North Korea, Sushen, and to the north. They will carry cotton coats and various foods from cotton to verify one thing: in the extreme north, are the days that are extremely long in summer and the days that are very short in winter. Even if you have spare energy and continue to move north, can you really see the days that are not falling?"
"Other team, you have 130 people, and the Mo family has 80 people, and they are led by people who are good at fighting and eloquent. Among these eighty people, there are doctors, stonemasons, copper smiths, boat craftsmen, etc. If there is really such a country, they can also learn some knowledge."
"This team went from Wei to Qin, and went west from Qin to see if there was such a country in the extreme west. It was limited to three years. If there was no news in three years, you could return. If there was any, you decided to continue to go west after three years, and you could also return and sort out the route, and our Mo family sent someone to go."
"The horses, money, gold and silver, or goods that can be exchanged along the way are all delivered by the Mohist family. If you want, then you must prepare now."
"At most ten days, my Mo family will send envoys to all countries to tell the story of Si Shui's failure to attack. I see that today I will settle down. Let me first explain that on the way to the extreme west, there are thousands of feet of mountains covered with snow, thousands of miles of yellow sand and thousands of miles of unbearable hunger and thirst, and there are also barbarian tribes that intercept wealth and property, so you can only decide for yourself. If you are willing, then it's best. If you don't, my Mo family will also send someone to it."
