Chapter 41 Help Qin
Wu Qi, who was sighing at Taoqiu's ambitions and the Mo family's governance, did not know that the people in the Si Shang Mo family were also talking about him.
In fact, shortly after he stepped on the carriage and left Wei, the Mozhe in Wei noticed it, and after the Wei people intercepted the "fake" Wu Qi of the empty carriage in Xihe, the news was sent back to Si Shang.
The strict deployment of traffic information has made the Mohist school far more confident in the world than those princes.
Four years ago, the Mohist family had moved the "capital" to Pengcheng. At this time, in a large house in Pengcheng, the sunlight shot into the house through small pieces of light green glass, and the dust rolled into a beautiful column of light, as if it was also in another way to demonstrate Mo Zhai's definition and conjecture about the light spreading in a straight line during his lifetime.
It was early autumn and the house was a little hot. Several senior Mohist leaders gathered together and were discussing many things.
Wu Qi was very powerful, and he was the best in the world to know the best soldiers. He was known to all generals and prime ministers. He followed those who rebel Mo into Qin and would definitely cause shock to the world.
However, such a major event was not discussed more in the discussions of the senior Mohist schools as the ones who were Solu Chan's coming back.
After all, the Mohist family focused on the world and the ambitions of heaven were somewhat grand.
However, although I talked less, I couldn't get around it.
The giant birds were as smooth as the sky, and the seven enlightenment gathered together.
These eight people are the power center of the Mo family, but the age difference is somewhat obvious. Except for this person who is thirty-five or six years old, the remaining seven are all old.
Age is a big problem. Perhaps for the Mohist school, which has "ism" and constantly absorbs fresh blood, the death of a man does not mean the death of a man. However, for Wu Qi, who was just mentioned, who is already fifty or sixty years old, he would inevitably talk about the eight words "The demise of a man and the political situation is difficult to cause trouble."
Gong Zaoye and Wu Qi are of the same generation. The two also dated in Zhengcheng back then, so they are old friends.
The people who presided over the Qin reform were all rebellious against Mo, so this matter still needs to be discussed.
Gong Zaoye talked about Wu Qi's talent and said: "The changes in Qin are beneficial to the king but not to the people. If the king is a country, it is a rich country and a strong country. If the people are a country, then there are two more words. After all, it is still the question of who the country's sovereignty lies. Since those of Shengchuo rebelled against the morality of the Mo family, they think completely differently about these basic issues."
"Wu Qi has the talent of becoming a general and a prime minister, but I think this is not a big deal. He is old and similar to us, and he has no idea how to determine right or wrong by setting rules. Why can't he figure out the government clearly? Then he will easily be confused. In the end, people will die and the government will not last long."
Shi heard the four words "Political Rest" by the man who died, but shook his head and said, "Political Rest is not necessarily the case."
"Confucianism says that the policies of civil and military affairs are distributed in the field of policy. If a person exists, his or her politics will be promoted; if a person dies, his or her politics will be resolved."
"If you look at Duke Zhou, it may not be necessary. Duke Zhou has compiled etiquette and divided his relatives into ceremonies. Now that the etiquette has collapsed and the music has become worse, it is also considered political recession. However, this policy has been continuing for hundreds of years."
"Why? Because there were no iron tools before, the grain output was too low, and the nobles divided the feudal world to build the world, which was indeed suitable for production at that time."
"But now...the Qin land reforms will eventually harm the nobles of Shiqing. If the technologies such as iron and ox plowing can keep up with each other, and the emergence of a new military class, the power will be so great that it is difficult to say that the people will die. It is just how long it will last, it will be unknown."
"Since we say that we should adapt to local conditions, some of our Si Shang policies will be difficult to apply without the Mohist organization, technology, money, and the benefits of Heshui Hangou water transportation, which will be copied to Qin."
"In short, since you have given land to the people and lacking aristocratic exploitation, it is considered good governance compared to the past. Today, the lower heads are the nobles of the clan, which is contrary to the meaning of "respecting virtuousness" and "equality" of the Mohist school."
The old Qin Huali said calmly: "Hu Feizi sent a letter and said that Shengchuo and others wanted to exchange iron technology for our small towns north of Nanzheng and south of Baogu. In my opinion, since they are all people of Xia, it would be better to teach these iron skills to them, and they will ultimately benefit the people."
"Baogu is steep and Nanzheng is in hand, so the Qin people cannot easily cross the valley and attack. Although Wu Qi is talented, he may not be able to win even if we guard Nanzheng, Baogu."
Shi stood up and smiled and said, "I mean that too. In one case, if you get iron tools, the transformation of Qin can be maintained and the total amount of iron tools in the world will increase, which will also be beneficial to the future of the world."
"Besides, Baogu is difficult to cross, and the three Jin dynasties are separated by each other, so the Qin people cannot argue with us for the time being."
"Since I say that I must benefit the world in the future and make the world settled, I can't say that it is too rigid. As long as it is not in line with us, it will be hostile to it, and it will harm the world. I will still reasonably use the contradictions between the princes to accumulate strength for us."
Everyone did not object to this. At least the current mainstream view of the Mohist school is that "preaching" is not enough to allow the princes in the world to follow the Mohist school's righteousness.
If you cannot trust the princes, you can only believe in yourself. If you believe in the people of Si, you will inevitably be "fighting for the heroes of the world".
When you are weak, you can only fight unjustly without attacking.
When you are strong, you will naturally have to punish unjustly and injustice.
The discussion on the transaction with Qin has been held many times. Since both Jin Huali and Shi agreed, it was basically approved.
But the meaning of moderation is more than that.
Seeing that everyone had no objection to this matter, he said, "In my opinion, in addition to teaching the art of furnace iron, we also need to teach something else."
"Didn't Solusan come back from the extreme west? Silk, glass, and iron ingots from the Central Plains can make several times more profitable."
"As I say that Eli leads people, I see that I will tell them this and let them run the West."
"One of the things, farming is more beneficial to the world than nomads. The Qin people taught the Qin people about technology, and the Qin people benefited, and after all, they made the world rich."
"The second... Shengchuo and others changed their reforms in Qin, and they also used the words of our Mohist family. They spread these words and cultures to the west, and the world we can govern in the future will be bigger."
"Third, transportation and goods, and the handicrafts in Qin are not developed. If they want to trade with the extreme western countries, they have to buy them from the Central Plains. This makes the workers who work and do business profit."
Shi stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Since we have the will to win, we don't have to act like a complaint. The Qin people are strong and cannot last long in the end. We must strengthen our confidence in winning."
"In the broad sense, Qin is thousands of miles away from us, and the nearest Nanzheng is also separated from Baogu. If he goes there, he will not be able to have a great conflict with us. It is better to use their power to spread our writing and culture to the extreme west. The world is in great peace, and we need to maintain the same language. The beginning of the same language is the same."
"I think this is not harmful to the world. If one day the Qin people come into contact with us, we can't calm the world down in one, then we will have no face to see Zi Mozi in the future."
He was full of confidence, and the rest of the people were full of confidence in Si Shang, so the matter was settled.
After Gao Sunzi expressed his support, he said: "The reason is this, but we should also put forward opinions and suggestions, some suggestions that can be more beneficial to the world."
"Since they come to talk to us, Wu Qi may also be hiding during his hiding period, and where he goes to Qin will be valued. Although some of our principles may not be able to be used, there are some places that can be supplemented, which can make the changes in Qin more beneficial to the future unification and benefit more people."
"It's right. Iron smelting, use it early and get better. The Qin land and iron utensils will also help the nobles of the Shiqin cannot rise again."
"There are iron tools, ox plowing, and gunpowder. If the nobles of the Shiqiu can still let Wu Qi and Shengchuo die, then...hey, although Shengchuo is rebellious, if the skills are in the ordinary Shiqiuo, no matter how good he is, Wu Qi is, let alone Wu Qi."
Although Gao Sunzi looked down on Sheng Chuan's behavior of forgetting righteousness, he still had a much higher evaluation than those nobles whom he looked down on even more.
The Mohist school opposed some changes in Qin because the changes in Qin did not conform to the morality of the Mohist school. This is inevitable and at least not supported.
However, while the Mohist school criticized the words, it was not possible to completely "differences and no mutual plan" and had no connection with Qin to keep oneself clean. Instead, it would take advantage of the changes in Qin to maximize the scope that Qin Jun, Shengchuo, Wu Qi and others could accept, and prepare for better benefiting the world in the future.
It is even more impossible to think that the Mohist family is right, just like those young people full of ideals, so they must go to war with the princes of the world without any strategy.
The contradiction that should be exploited can still be exploited, otherwise it is called "benefiting the world", but in fact it is "benefiting the world".
This is an idea that the Mohist school focused on criticizing in the past few years, but too much criticism has encouraged some people in Si Shang to think that "Si Shang lives a safe and secure life, and builds a happy land without attacking or fighting", which is not right.
Qin Huali glanced at Gao Sunzi and said, "I agree with Gao Sunzi's idea. Let's discuss the matters in Qin first, and what else can be beneficial to the world in the future and enable them to implement it."
"When those people come, meet them and have a talk."
…………
A few days later, Solusan and others finally returned to the old place that had been away for ten years, and they took one step ahead of Wu Qi and others.
Before stepping onto the dock on the Sishui River, I saw thousands of people waiting by the river. The leader was Solusan's Master, the current giant of the Mohist family.
After the bird slipped, Shi and others stood side by side, and many old friends were there.
Before the boat landed, a burst of firecrackers came, crackling sounds passed, a burst of blue smoke rose, and thousands of people cheered.
All of this shows the Mohist emphasis on Soluchan's trip. Those who followed Soluchan were even more inexplicably moved. After all, their ten years of traveling are meaningful, beneficial to the world, and are also valued and recognized enough.
