Chapter forty-ninth

"But if the Mo family's benevolence and righteousness will be passed down to the world in the future, thinking that the world is superior rather than a vulgar, I don't think this is a bad word. I may not be a bad word. Someone may be proud of this and claim to be without a king or a father, so as to demonstrate his own righteousness of benefiting the world and become a pioneer of the Tang and Wu revolution."

Speaking of this, I have just really commented on this matter as the No. 2 figure in the academic group of the Mohist school. Even though Zhong Ni has passed away and Mo Di has passed away, the Confucian and Mohist school still have a mortal enemy. I can praise Zhong Ni, but the Confucian theory must be criticized from the perspective of Mohist school. This is a matter of principle.

You cannot tolerate mixing with others, and you cannot pretend to be a "customer" unless you don't want to be a giant.

The Confucian and Mohism struggle, in normal history, reached an extremely sharp level by the later period after Modi's death.

Originally, both sides had launched a comprehensive personal attack. Mo Zi survived in a fashionable way and could praise Zhongni rather than discuss Confucianism. But when he passed away, the conflict between the two sides was like water and fire.

So it is a straightforward personal attack, especially in "False Confucianism", which set a precedent for derogating Confucius. It is not called Zhongni or Confucius, but is called "Kong Mou". This title with a hint of personal attack and contempt has been passed down to later generations.

Shi looked at Wu Qi and said half-jokingly: "The dispute between Confucianism and Mohism is actually very related to Yu Gong. If Confucianism's benevolence and righteousness are the mainstream of the world, your later generations will probably have bad evaluations. Unkindness and justice, unfaithfulness and filial piety, greed for fame and lust, these twelve words will probably take full advantage of the evaluation."

Wu Qi was not angry when he said this, and laughed: "That's true."

"As you said, if I know Yiquyu, open trade routes, teach all the people, share the same words, laws, change customs, benevolence and righteousness, and promote water conservancy, in your Mohist family's evaluation, can I still have a good reputation?"

Shi also laughed and said, "Zi Mo Zi said that only the harm is not guilty, and the crime of violating the forbidden one is a crime. Before the correct judgment of benevolence, righteousness, courage and wisdom came out, he made a mistake, and that was nothing but helpless actions under the limit."

"For example, before entering Mohism, Sulu Shen, was unparalleled in his cunning, proud and unbearable, and deceitful to help the poor. However, with the development of the Mohism morality, he finally knew what to do to benefit the world."

"Before the morality of the Mohist school was summarized, he might have been resentful of the injustice of the old world and wanted to change, but could not find a way out. This is called limitation."

"If the Mohist family's righteousness is in the world in the future, and evaluating you, you can add a sentence of historical limitations to the things you do that the Mohist family thinks are not beneficial to the world, that would be a great praise."

Wu Qi smiled and nodded, "I hope this is the case. It is not easy to get praise from the Mo family."

"Wenhou asked Li Ku who I was. Li Kui replied to Wenhou and said that Wu Qi was greedy and lustful, but Sima Rangju couldn't get it. What you call limitation is that?"

"If those things are done, I, Wu Qi, have done a lot of things that are beneficial to the world, but have also done a lot of things that are harmful to the world?"

Shi shook his head and smiled, "Yes...but because of the limitations of history, he did a lot of things that harmed the world."

Wu Qi was overjoyed and said, "This has some meaning. For example, when Li Kui discussed politics, he said: carving and carvings are harmful to farming; Jinxiu Group is harmful to female workers. Farming is harmful to be the foundation of hunger. Female workers are injured, which is the root of cold. Hunger and cold come together, and they can avoid being evil. Men and women are beautiful and proud of each other, but they can never have any. Therefore, the best skills are the poor and the people of the country are extravagant."

"I look at the Si Shang government, the people are abundant and hunger is rare. I once thought that Li Ku's words were correct. So, from your perspective, what are the limitations of these words?"

Li Ku's words are regarded as the "ism" of the reform of Wei State, which is the foundation that affects the content of the reform of Qin State on a normal historical line. After all, Shang Yang once became the son of Gongshuzhu, and his thoughts were greatly influenced by Li Ku.

This means that the root cause of people's hunger is because of construction; the root cause of people's cold and unclothed clothes is because they all spin silk to benefit from it and do not weave cloth. These are the root cause of national poverty, so skills must be banned and only let the Chinese men farm and weave small farmers run.

What Wu Qi was puzzled was that he thought Li Ku's words were reasonable, but the facts he saw on Si Shang also felt that the Mohist school did not implement such a policy at all, but Si Shang's wealth was far superior to the Xihe, which had the deepest reforms in Wei. He wanted to know the root cause.

After thinking about these words, he solemnly said: "Because labor creates wealth. The carvings of carved texts is because the nobles of the clans occupied the labor of the people for free; the nobles of the Jinxiu Group did not buy the linen, but only the nobles could afford the linen and brocade, so the people naturally had the brocade. The root cause is because the nobles of the clans of the clans plundered the labor of the people."

"It's like stabbing someone and killing him. Ji Chongjun thinks that the killing is a weapon, but he just sees the surface. The Mo family thinks that the killing is a human."

"Everyone seeks profit. If the nobles of the clan do not make worms, then if the money obtained from carving in the carving of the carving is better than farming, it proves that the food is abundant, and people seek convenience. If the money obtained from carving in the carving of the carving is far less than farming, if there is no mandate, how can anyone do it?"

"The root cause is not understood, but it changes the appearance. The times have changed, and iron ox plowing has already flourished, but the per mu yield of the nobles of the Shiqing period is considered. Isn't this the Chu people crossed the river and fell swords and carved boats? This is a mistake."

"For example, Si Shang, the grain prices are getting cheaper every day, and farmers want to change their careers. If you are doing a beautiful life, you will benefit several times the profit. Why? Because the grain is enough every day."

"Therefore, Zi Mozi said: Eat must be full and then seek beauty. Clothes must be warm and then seek beauty. Households must be peaceful and then seek happiness. It can be long and long. First, be concise and then write. This is the task of the saint."

"The nobles of the generation have always been full, so they seek beauty; the kings and lords have always been warm, so they seek beauty; the princes and lords have always been peaceful, so they seek happiness. This is nothing wrong."

"The wrong thing is that the world has a population of tens of millions, why are there always full and warm and so few talents in Chang'an? This is the root cause. If this problem is solved, people in the world can seek beauty, beauty and happiness, which is the only way to benefit the world."

"Zi Mozi suffered from the extreme because people are not full, so they hate seeking beauty; people are not warm, so they hate seeking beauty; people are not at ease, so they hate seeking happiness."

"But he never thinks that seeking beauty, beauty, and happiness is wrong. He just thinks that there are only a few people in the world who can seek beauty and happiness is wrong."

"If you don't solve the problem of the few people in the world who can seek beauty, happiness, and beauty, but you hope that people in the world who are not full to seek fullness, not warm to seek warmth, and not worry to seek peace. This is the second mistake of Ji Chongjun."

"First quality and then text, demand has levels, material satisfaction is the basis for pursuing higher satisfaction. This is the will of heaven, and it cannot be violated and followed without error. Is it quality and then text, or is it not the quality and quality, not the world? Please think about this remark."

Wu Qi muttered the words "First" and then text, and suddenly said, "Buzi once asked Confucius: "The clever smile is beautiful, beautiful eyes are long, and it is always gorgeous. What does it mean? Confucius said: "The painting is simple after the event. He said: "Is the etiquette after the time? Confucius said: "I am the one who raises me is Shang."

"In this way, we should first look at the text and then draw the truth. It is like the words in "Xi Cixia": the world is the same but the path is different, and the same but the same but the same but the same."

I don't want to answer, I can't answer, and I dare not answer.
