Chapter 401: Time is ruthless, Tiandihuan (2)
I helped Mozi up, and had nothing to say, and I didn't know how to carry the heavy weight of seeing all the vicissitudes of the world.
His shoulders were a little unbearable.
The rest of the people went to the wine shop first, and Mo Zi and Shi walked behind and suddenly said, "Zhongni once said: Taibo, his greatest virtue is gone. Third, the world is given, and the people are not able to win."
"You said, why should the people praise him? Is it because he made the world happen? Or is it because the final result proved that Ji Chang made the people profit?"
Shi said in a deep voice: "This makes the people profit, so the people are not worthy of their talent and talent. If King Wen is not kind or righteous in the end, he is a monarch like Jie, Shang and Zhou of Xia, I am afraid that the people will curse Taibo for giving up his throne."
Mozi nodded and said, "Yes, so the Mo family wants utilitarianism and wants to talk about the consequences. I still say the same thing. In the rebellion of Baigong of Chu, Wang Zilu insisted on learning from Taibo to give way. He was called "benevolence" by those Confucian scholars, but what should the people of Chu do? So I said, he is a nonsense. If you ask for a benevolence, you will not care about the world. What's the use of the Mo family? You don't have such benevolence."
Shi knew that Mozi was reminding him that when talking about Taibo, Mozi was actually talking about the matter between him and Shi.
Although Shi's rise to power was the result of his own efforts, it was extremely important that Mozi gave up the position of Giant Zi three years ago and let Qin Huali be the giant Zi, leaving a place for Qixiu and even allowing Shi to subsidize it.
Taibo felt that Ji Chang was talented, so he fled, cut off his hair and tattooed, and sweared that he would not be involved in the position of the marquis again.
Mozi used this story to make Shi understand that in the end, those who take on all this will be evaluated, whether the people in the world will benefit.
Will the people praise Mo Zhai for knowing people? Or will they regret that Mo Zhai gave up his position and gave up the Qixie to the death?
The Mohist school talks about utilitarianism, and the Mohist school also kills people. Now there are many names of "unkind". Pengcheng rebellion, killing; Si Shang rebellion, killing... Some people have begun to pick on the Mohist school these two killings and accusing the Mohist school of being unkind. It seems that in the eyes of some "gentlemen", the Mohist school should let go of their hands, let others kill, and then earn a few tears of sympathy and make a "manner" evaluation, but Mozi doesn't want these.
Mo Zi took a few steps forward and suddenly said, "When I was young, I met Zeng Shen. He said that scholars must not be broad-minded and resolute, and have a long way to go. Isn't it too heavy to think benevolence as his own responsibility? Isn't it too far after death?"
"Actually, this is very good, but it is because the benevolence of Confucian scholars is not the same as the benevolence of our Mohist family."
"Dividing between the inside and the outside, Confucius said, benevolence, love, benevolence, benevolence and righteousness are all inside. Feeling love and feeling profit, this is the outside. Since it is internal and benevolence is our responsibility, there is no standard for evaluation. Moreover, love and profit are unified and people feel profit, which is the standard for evaluation."
"Monnie also said that self-restraint and rituals are benevolence. If this standard is used, then a scholar should take self-restraint and rituals as his responsibility, and only after death?"
"There is a long way to go, and it will last until death. This is very good. But the key is, what is the responsibility of oneself and then until death?"
"I said, we should take righteousness as our responsibility, and die before we die. So there are hundreds of thousands of righteousness and unity of righteousness and profit. Some people say that if I do this, I will benefit the people of the world. Some people say that if I do this, I will benefit the people of the world... After all, I will check it out with my Mohist three table."
"If the world is poor, can it be rich? If the people are few, can it be crowded? If the people are in chaos, can it be governed?"
Speaking of these three forms, Mo Zi smiled and said, "From now on, our Mo family's path is right. Therefore, for this reason, we should die before we die."
Shi Gang was about to nod and said that he would remember it, but Mo Zi sighed again: "It's just that these three things are done, is it enough?"
"I say that people have three dangers: those who are hungry cannot eat, those who are cold cannot wear clothes, and those who are tired cannot rest. The three are huge dangers for the people."
"When the total wealth of the world increases, the population of the world increases, and after the world's great stability... the three troubles of the people are what our Mohist family wants to do."
"The world is rich, but not everyone is rich. What you said about the sum of wealth and the theory of national wealth is correct. However, when the world is rich enough for hungry people to get food, cold people to get clothes, and labor people to get food, don't forget to do this."
"In short, things have a sequence. First make the world rich, and the people are determined to solve the 'three problems' of everyone in the world."
"The latter is more difficult than the former, so don't forget it. If one day in the future, everyone will only remember the former, remember to remind them that there are still three problems. If you can't remind them... you will leave the Mo family and make your own words! I don't blame you."
"I left Thirteen Swords to restrain you, but in the end I could only ask you to restrain the future... Don't regard this as a giant's conversation. Just treat it as... a gentleman, and a conversation with your disciple."
Perhaps Mo Zi passed by Yuedi and saw the serfs working on the transformed fields; perhaps Mo Zi passed by Yuedi and saw the workshops cooking grass and ash by the sea... The sum of wealth increased, but those sufferings that had never been seen in the past also appeared.
He didn't know how to solve it, but he just vaguely saw all this and instinctively sensed an uneasy and danger, so he said this.
He is old and tired, and he can no longer find out the origin of all this for decades.
Shi looked at Mo Zi and finally said in an extremely plain and calm tone: "Disciple has written it down."
Mo Zi smiled and said, "Then I won't talk about it. Go and have a meal. I'm hungry."
When I walked into the restaurant, the owner had already prepared a table. The shop belonged to the Mo family, and the owner belonged to Yuedi, but not the Mo family.
The Mo family paid for the construction of these shops, one for the purpose of the Mo family to have a foothold, and the other for publicity. The owner of the shop paid a certain amount of rent every year, and the Guangling was in a very good location, so he could earn a lot every year.
The store naturally has iron pots, vegetable oils, sugar, chili and other condiments.
But Mozi sat for a while and suddenly laughed, "Let's just have a soy milk, tofu and wheat cakes. I remember, that was the first meal I asked me to have when you first entered the Mo family, right?"
In just one sentence, it took more than ten years to turn around.
More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Shi also laughed and said, "Yes, yes. I heard at that time that the Mo family was extremely distressed, and I thought of a reason to let you eat it."
Mo Zi also laughed and said, "It's a pity that I'm not that pedantic. It took an hour to cook your meal, but I think it took a day."
"At that time, I thought that everyone would like you very much in the future. I can't say that you can take over the business of Jiatong in the future. Who would have thought that in more than ten years, you will not only know how to eat, but also make us those who have no money and have to suffer the most. "
Everyone at the table laughed, and the store owner hurried out to prepare.
The people on the table had eaten soy milk and wheat cakes in Shangqiu more than ten years ago. I recalled that the giant was still healthy even though he was old. Looking at it now, I couldn't help but feel sad after laughing.
In more than ten years, the Mohist school has changed a lot, but the obsession with ambition to be the best in the world has not changed. The people sitting around have different factions, but the dispute between these factions is still just a different understanding of "righteousness", but it is never unrighteous.
…………
While the Mo family was having this sad meal, a drunken ranger in Qin State in the northwest was kneeling on the ground and was wiping his sword.
A few years ago, he went to Pei County to help his friends, but after the battle, the friend still talked to him about "the great righteousness of the world", "Don't make private minor righteousness", "Love others not for people, those people love you just for you" and so on.
It may make sense, but he doesn't want to listen.
So after the battle of the Hanshui, the sword cut his cheek, gave the friend the reason for stopping, and quietly left.
His name is Nie Zheng, a city wanderer, and his swordsmanship is incorrect.
Before the Battle of Hanshui, two people made friends with them.
One is Mr. Qin and the other is Yan Zhongzi from South Korea.
Yan Zhongzi asked him to assassinate Xia Lei. But... After hearing Gong Zaoye's words, although he was flirting with Gong Zaoye, those words were like seeds of weeds, which took root in his heart.
Yan Zhongzi just wanted to use him. He only valued his sword skills and had very little communication with him.
These naked words of interest are very consistent with the Mohist way of judgment. Nie Zheng didn't want to listen, but he couldn't help but think so.
It's like a maggot, hiding in the heart and crawling out from time to time.
Mr. Qin…it seems different.
Because he rebelled against Mo Shengchuo, he was also an old acquaintance of Nie Zheng. Some Mo people who followed Shengchuo to join the Prince Lian also had old friends with him.
Moreover, if Shengchuo, there is some meaning to be righteous.
Shengchuo said that the Qin people were barbaric and had little righteousness, and the nobles were sacrificed to the fore. Prince Lian Ruo was the king and should carry out reforms. This is the great righteousness.
Shengchuo's righteousness is no longer the same as the Mohist family, but after all, there is still the shadow of the Mohist family's morality.
Nie Zheng was unwilling to listen to words like righteousness, but his heart was still affected, and he didn't feel any of the effects himself.
He made friends with him, but he couldn't make friends with him, so the young master took out gold and asked Nie Zheng to return it to Yan Zhongzi, giving him a heartless and righteous manner.
Now, we finally waited for this opportunity.
So he entered Qin alone, found the people who were placed here in Chen Cang and the young master Lian, and rested for a while.
That man was the dead soldier of Gongzi Lian. The Qin Gong, who had just grown up the day after tomorrow, was the best time to start his career.
There was no wine in front of Nie Zheng, only a few millet cakes and a large piece of meat.
Next to the table was a wooden box, and the dead soldier took out two iron-shelled gunpowder thunders from it and handed it over and said, "This is obtained by Shengchuo using his old friend. You have participated in the help of the storm, so you should know how to use this thing."
Nie Zheng nodded, after checking, he took out another cowhide package and packed it.
The dead soldier suddenly knelt down and said, "Your righteousness cannot be repaid. If the young master is restored, he may not be able to disclose your feat..."
