"Since the world is judged, then the Mohist school will support those who progress in everything. If they do not advance but retreat, they will fight to make them progress. This is a righteous war, and there is no distinction between countries. The Mohist school is not the ink of a country, but the ink of the world."

Wu Qi said nothing and lowered his head to ponder.

At this time, the countries in the world did not hide the talk of annexation and war, but the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period was still there. Things like South Korea taking advantage of the alliance to attack Zheng State to destroy Zheng State can only happen in the Warring States Period.

However, at the beginning of the Warring States Period, countries at least had some "face" and would ask for a teacher to be famous. Since they had to be famous, this name would have a foundation, that is etiquette. Without etiquette, there would be no right or wrong, and it would be impossible to say that it was a famous teacher or an unknown teacher.

When the Three Jins attacked Qi, it was just to borrow the rebellion of Gongsun and Suns. The Tian family was suspected of killing their brothers. The Three Jins and Qi also had to follow the form of the Emperor of Zhou.

However, what the Mohist saying clearly means: The Mohist family has its own rules and logic, and etiquette means rules. The Mohist family abides by its own rituals and does not adhere to the rituals that are already there at this time. As long as it is not in line with the righteousness, the Mohist family may fight it.

And righteousness... Only the Mohist school can now hold the right to interpret righteousness. The world debates, and each family was defeated. Confucianism has not yet integrated the theory of destiny with Huang-Lao's learning, and it is even more difficult to spread among the kings and lords. The material basis of the feudal system brought by iron gunpowder and ox plowing is no longer there, and the trend is becoming less and less.

The Legalists first emerged, but they lacked the description of the future and had a fundamental connotation. They were just art rather than Tao. They only gave reasonable support for reform, but did not explain the root cause of reform.

Although Wu Qi complained that the Mohist schools could say that war was so "in line with justice", he recalled the booklets of the Mohist schools criticizing the policies of various countries over the years, and nodded secretly.

Since the Mohist school published a pamphlet about the source and increase of the sum of wealth in the world, the economic policies of various countries have always been based on that pamphlet and have never been surpassed within the rules.

The same words and deeds are true, and the ability to explain and judge properly is shocking and terrifying.

The Mohist school also criticized and supported the changes in Qin. For example, Solusan's criticism was a debate on whether agriculture was the only means to increase the total wealth of the world, or whether industry and commerce could also increase the total wealth of the world.

As for support, the Mohist school also believed that the situation in Qin was special. No matter what, compared with the previous well-field and the nobles' exile of land, the reform of Qin still liberated productivity, especially if it was combined with the ox plowing and ridges, this was definitely higher than the original system.

All of this originated from joining the Mohist school twenty years ago and gradually forming a complete system of the morality of the Mohist school.

Just like the Confucianism before, Confucius had "ritual" to follow, so he could measure the right or wrong of this matter according to the etiquette. If it is in line with etiquette, he would support it, and if it is not in line with etiquette, he would object.

Twenty years ago, the Mohist school talked about profit and righteousness and ambition, but what should the world that conforms to the ambition of heaven look like?

Mozi did not point out, or pointed out that it was too far away, which could not be achieved within hundreds of years, "so that people can obtain their strengths and the world should do the best; that they can divide their duties and get the world's affairs; that they like, and that the world's affairs are prepared; that they have the best and weakness, and that the world's affairs are all in place", and the ultimate "love" of the world.

It makes people's strengths and the labor they do will be liked by themselves... This is too far away for the Warring States Period, and this is the ultimate dream of freedom for mankind.

However, after the Mohist school, it was said that the nine-level paradise was integrated into the world's wealth, one of the three appearances of the Mohist school, and pointed out what kind of system should be used to pursue the paradise that we are pursuing now.

Confucianism and Mohism competed with each other, and Confucianism was originally polite to follow. This was already in ancient times. Compared with what was already there, it was right or wrong, so Confucianism could be more likely to gain a foothold.

This is looking back, the path you have experienced is so easy to accept, and people prefer to accept intuitive things.

The Mohist ambition is to look forward. When the theory is not rich and the internal system is not perfect, it is difficult to understand because it is difficult for people to accept unintuitive and logical affairs.

However, when the Mohist system gradually formed a unified state and evolved into what it is today, the only advantage of Confucianism was gone.

Although there are politeness to follow, it is more intuitive; but the Mohist school now has a paradise of heaven and happiness to discuss, which is also intuitive.

The Legalists, who are in full swing nowadays, pay attention to "unprecedented the ancients", but their purpose is to strengthen their troops to fight for the world. As for what happens after the world is stable, they only leave a sentence "unprecedented the ancients". With the world's determination, the policy of fighting for the world is "unprecedented". Unfortunately, they did not describe what should be like in the future, and lacked a "ism" for reference.

Under the basis of the fact that the king's words are the law, the idea that "the king and the minister are all following the law" is beautiful, but it is contradictory. The king's words are the law, so how can the king follow the law? This is the law followed the king rather than the king follow the law, because the Mohist school believes that this is not feasible in logical debate.

Twenty years ago, the gathering of Mo families under Shangqiu City focused on solving the problem that Mozi said, "What is above must be true; what is wrong must be false. If the superior has mistakes, he will advise him; if the subordinate has good deeds, he will recommend him."

If these words only take half a sentence, they are completely different meanings.

"Whatever is above must be it." If you only mention half a sentence, it will be no different from your words and Dharma.

"Therefore, choose the wise and capable people in the world to be the emperor." If you only mention this half sentence, it will not be able to resolve the contradiction between the slow speed of information dissemination and the insufficient material foundation in the times.

Therefore, the Mohist school needs to have its own system and logic, which can make it "democratic and centralized" within the logic, and at the same time, it can "if the superior has made mistakes, the subordinate has good advice, and if the subordinate has good advice", it can also gather all righteousness and centralize power to govern.

When the material foundation is insufficient, this is the only way to change the "family world".

If one family is a family, then "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" is ultimately an empty word. The Mohist school has always believed that only by guiding people with profit can we make great righteousness, and only by allowing the people of the world to benefit from the world can we finally achieve "the people of the world must be responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

All this requires enlightenment of people's wisdom, and it is a long process.

All this is going on silently. For example, the people in the village who had seen Wu Qi discuss "whether to increase taxes on food imported from the State of Song" is to encourage the people to fight for their own interests and understand what the country should be at this time.

This seemingly meaningless thing can eventually be subtle. When everyone knows their own interests, they will understand what kind of system can guarantee their own interests and will take the initiative to fight for it.

All the policies and comments of the Mohist school so far are closely related to the two issues of "the world" and "benefiting the world", and have not surpassed them. Therefore, they have achieved "whatever you want without breaking the rules", but this rule is not that rule.

Through printing and debate, the Mohist school firmly maintained the right to interpret "righteousness" and "benefit the world". Even the words "hero" have given the definitions of the market different from the past.

No one in the world can compete with the Mo family for righteousness and profit.

With the increase in the total wealth of the world and the development of productivity, the world's system cannot compare with Si Shang.

For the benefit of the general public, the Mohist school has now clearly pointed out that the nobles of Shiqing were worms, united as much as possible in the interests of merchants, handicrafts and serfs, and proposed a concept of a paradise without Shiqingqian aristocrats.

In terms of cultural system, the Mohist school was ultimately the Central Plains school. We competed with Confucianism whether to "durse for three years" or "durse for three days"; whether to "treat death as life" or "conflict and use for festivals"; whether to "Huangzhong Dalu" or "the joy of Xialiba people". At the root of this, it is an internal cultural dispute, not a dispute between the barbarians and the Central Plains.

This kind of publicity and agitation that lasted for nearly twenty years and the technological innovation that lasted for twenty years, can be seen in Wu Qi.

If it had been twenty years ago, Wu Qi would not have any doubts about his ambitions.

If you don’t become a prime minister, you will never return to your hometown. If you said this twenty years ago, it would indeed cause countless people to laugh at you as dreaming.

But now, Wu Qi felt that this ambition... was like a grudge from the deep boudoir: under the old system, the nobles were in power, and scholars could not be the ministers, so they felt dissatisfied, but they were dissatisfied with the final decision, but they wanted to have their own place in this unreasonable situation.

Compared with the Mohist school's idea of ​​a new world, it is ultimately inferior.

Now, even the heroes, like Wu Qi, have been promoted and influenced by these theories of the Mohist school, began to inevitably think about the meaning of their ambitions.

With the rich pearls and jades of Si Shang in the forefront, it is too difficult to surpass the Mo family in politics. Those changes that could have been famous for a little bit of work now need to be done more and the effect is better to be considered to be a display of ambitions.

He was not a noble family, nor had a vast fiefdom and land, and he did not have a natural instinctive resentment to the Mohist policies for class interests.

But he knew that he was old. If the Mo family had been like this when he was young, he would have devoted himself to the Mo family, and he would have shown his ambitions with his ambitions and ruled the world. But now, he is not in line with the rules of the Mo family, and the only thing he can do to fulfill his ambitions is Qin.

When it comes to ambitions, heroes, and cruel reality, it seems that the Qin people's expansion to the west is the only feasible way.

As for whether the Qin reform can be successful and that it can suppress the power of the nobles and nobles of the clans, it seems to be full of confidence.

After all, even if Shengchuo and others rebel against Mo, they still have some skills. Now that Qin Jun has become a powerful force, Shiqing in the three counties can no longer win. If you get iron weapons, Wu Qi will take charge of the troops and the support of the people, the change in Qin is inevitable.

Shi only wanted to tempt Qin to expand westward after the reform. If it were in the past, it would have been impossible. However, now, the iron tools have been released, the stirrups have been used, the gunpowder has been burned, and Soluzan has made the move westward, so profiting towards the west has become another option for Qin.

At this time, we are going west and relying on the organizational techniques and technical differences in the Central Plains is a way to beat children. But when we go east and south, whether it is Wei or Nan Zheng Mo, it is a choice that does not harm more than good for Qin. If we cannot succeed, we cannot be ambitious.

Wu Qi knew that Shi was talking about these things for the benefit of the Mo family, but Shi talked about the benefit of Qin Jun everywhere. Wu Qi's ambition seemed to have only this path to choose from.

When I saw Wu Qi silently, I laughed in my heart.

I thought to myself, this naturally has the generation gap caused by technological development, and it is profitable to expand to the west. But thanks to your years of training martial arts soldiers in Xihe, you have cut off the possibility of the Qin people going east within 20 years and have to go west.
