Taoism believes that to retreat to the most perfect natural state, it should be: "A small country has few people. You can use the tools of a man without using them; you can make the people die more and not move. Even if there are boats and carriages, there is no place to ride them, and even if there are armor and weapons, there is no place to display them. You can use them with ropes and use them with them. You can enjoy their food, beautify their clothes, live in peace, and enjoy their customs. Neighbors look at each other, and the sound of chickens and dogs are heard, and the people will not interact until they die in old age."

The Mohist school believes that it is wrong to retreat. There is nothing wrong with the country and the law itself. Whose country is wrong? Whether the law is in line with the will of heaven and the way of heaven is to "select the wise men as the emperor, and gather all righteousnesses to the law of the world. All righteousnesses are the benefits of the people, and the law is in line with the benefits of the people. The good and evil of the law are measured by the will of heaven as the rule."

Today's trial is actually the continuation of the moral level of the dispute between Feiguo and Guodu and the capital that day.

The so-called limitation is that the previous laws were all secret laws of the nobles. Under the rules of etiquette and law, the laws protect the interests of the nobles.

Therefore, it is easy for the people to have an idea: the law itself is wrong, and it is precisely because of the breeding of laws and regulations that lead to the large number of thieves.

The Mohist school believes that the wrong thing is not the sword, but the wrong thing is the person who holds the sword. There is nothing wrong with the Dharma itself, but the wrong thing is the content of the Dharma.

Because the previous law was formulated by the nobles and it can be proved that it harmed the interests of most people in the world, this law is not in line with the way of nature, so rebellion is correct.

Whether the law is a good or an evil law, we must use rationality to infer whether it is in line with nature and the will of heaven. Similarity is good and good; not close or not, it is evil. For man, the biggest point of heavenly ambition is human nature itself, and it is born of all people. Since human nature has no good or evil, it is just human nature, then it means that human nature itself is in line with heavenly ambition, so everything that people seek benefits and avoid harm is the basis of natural law.

If the Mohist school wants to overturn the old rules and the old era, it must use the natural law.

Natural law is the law of "rebellion".

The Mohist school discovered the "Tianzhi" and found that in the era of iron gunpowder and ox plowing, the difference between the feudal system was different from the noble and the low, and all this was in line with the interests of the people; it was discovered that human power and obligations were relative to this natural way... Therefore, the Mohist school was not "rebelling", but was just returning to the country and the true meaning of the law, which was in line with the nature of the heavenly aspirations.

However, if the Mohist school wants to establish a country that is united by the world, it must be established by humans, because in the definition of Mohist school, the country is synonymous with people, and the transfer of part of the power is authorized to public power, and the part of the transfer includes the law enforcement power. Otherwise, everyone has their own "righteousness" and their own law enforcement power. In the case of uncertainty that everyone can rationally understand the "way of nature", the law enforcement power must belong to public power.

Based on the fact that people have established a statute, Mozi put forward the saying "only harm is not guilty", which means that you have caused harm to society, but if there is no law prohibition, then you are not a crime. Crime must be violated after the law is enacted, which is considered a crime.

Therefore, Meng Sheng could listen to the lawyer with Zheng's accent talk with relish because all this is in line with the morality of the Mohist family.

The Mohist schools could not abandon the natural law because it was the basis for the reason of rebellion. Just like Shang Tang and Zhou Wu, they did not rebel. Although Xia Jie and Shang Zhou formulated laws to prevent rebellion, because Xia Jie and Shang Zhou's laws violated the will of heaven and nature, this was an evil law and could not be recognized, so they had the right to raise an army to overthrow the evil politics.

But the Mohist school cannot abandon people to establish a statutory law, because this is the power of ruling. If you commit a crime, everyone has the right to enforce the law, which will inevitably cause chaos in anarchy. You cannot expect that everyone can understand "Tao follows nature and the will of heaven" now, and it is impossible to abandon "strange skills and tools" to return to the "perfect" natural state. Then it is necessary for people to establish a statutory law.

The key to the problem is that Deng Xizi reminded Meng Sheng later.

There must be a outline and a command.

What is applicable to natural law, what is applicable to written law, and what is required to measure whether written law is reasonable and what is needed to measure. This is the top priority of the problem.

Si Shang is starting to solve this problem. Once this problem is solved, then the rationality of rebellion and the rationality of governance will also be found. The rest is to see whose fist is hard.

The Tang and Wu Revolution was right.

It is good to know that the person is a bad person and the ranger who has no law enforcement authority to kill him with a sword, but it is illegal. Those who need to kill others will be sentenced to death and injury.

Good things are not necessarily illegal, and bad things are not necessarily illegal.

How to measure, how to distinguish, what applies to natural law, and what applies to human-definitioned written laws, is the meaning of these things today.

If the Mohist and Taoism can reach some consensus on some issues, then the hostility between them and Confucianism cannot be lifted.

The Mohist school believes that human nature has no good or evil, and human nature is unchanging forever. It is nature itself, and it contains the principles of nature. It is human nature for everyone to seek profit and avoid harm. Based on this, the Mohist school's righteousness is profit. On the basis of acknowledging human nature, we must introduce a perfect world system so that everyone's interests can be protected to the greatest extent.

Confucianism does not have the theories of Mencius and others yet, but it basically believes that morality is eternal. The great rule of law introduced by this is based on morality.

The theory of love in combination is that Confucianism now believes that the Mohism is "no king or father", but it does not object to the great rule of the world after the "love in combination". It only believes that the great rule of the world depends on love in combination, which is a dream.

However, Confucianism believes that the great rule of the world is to have different love, and then the monarch loves others, the difference between noble and humble, filial piety and brotherhood are righteous, the family and country are homogeneous, and rely on morality to ultimately govern.

The Mohist school believes that the great rule of the world is based on human nature seeking profit and avoiding harm. Everyone seeks profit and everyone loves themselves. However, the highest logical level of loving yourself is to love others as if you love yourself, so that everyone can get the greatest benefit and ultimately be reigned.

Benefit is things, and virtue is the heart. This is the biggest difference between the two.

It is also an important reason why many famous scholars failed to reconcile the conflict between Confucian and Mohism for decades in history.

Meng Sheng was not as excited as Xu Ruo because before coming to Feiguo, the senior officials of the Mohist country had already discussed what they would do if Feiguo was completely dominated by the Mohist country.

This discussion was carried out on the premise that the terrifying "national people's common governance" would make the princes in the world unanimously opposed the interference.

The "rebellion" experts who were headed by Jin Huali and Shi, who overturned the old system and determined the new morality as the "rebellion" experts who "wanted to change customs and change the world" seemed to the view that if they were to deal with this matter, it might be as Xu Ruo had imagined.

The people in the capital drove away or killed the monarch, immediately announced the change of the land system, and at the same time told the nobles of the fiefdom. Before the nobles could react, they used the high public opinion to organize the army and force the nobles to immediately express their opinions by spreading the declaration of granting land and dividing land and protecting private property, and forced the nobles to immediately express their views: whether to recognize the new laws, systems, and great righteousness.

If you disagree, you will immediately send troops to defeat the nobles, win the support of the people on the nobles' fiefs through extensive publicity, and end the Fei Kingdom Incident in an extremely violent way.

It will not give the nobles any chance to delay time. The Mo family had already had experience in this regard: the King of Chu clearly stated that he would change and stop the war, but when the situation of Zhao Han's death changed in Niu Lanyi, the situation immediately broke his promise. The senior leaders of the Mo family had no trust in the princes and nobles.

This is the reason why Meng Sheng did not accuse Xu Ruo of the question but felt that Xu Ruo was expected.

But the biggest difference between reality and speculation is that the existence of the Mohist family in Si Shang is that the Mohist leaders have determined that the affairs of Fei State cannot be solved by their own country, and ultimately it can only be a war of interference.

Since the result is destined, you might as well watch it coldly and let Fei stage stories that are strange or laughable in China, using this as an experience to teach people so that future people will not make such mistakes.

Anyway, the final result was only tormented until the end that the people realized that the princes and nobles were unreliable. The Mohist charity master was nearby. As long as they announced that they would join the closer alliance in Si Shang in the way of righteousness of the people, they could quickly defeat those nobles.

Otherwise, this internal bloody storm was inevitable. Once the anger became angry, the nobles in the world would be scared to sleep. However, the Fei Kingdom was too small and it was not worth letting the nobles in the world wake up so early for the small Fei Kingdom and unite to eliminate the Mohist ideas.

Too radical terror against terror will only happen under great internal and external pressure. It is a solution that has to be used when there is no choice. It is understandable.

Now that the Mohist family is confident of its military power, the Fei Kingdom has another option besides relying on its citizens, so they can discuss in a gentle manner whether they are guilty seems not an urgent matter.

Meng Sheng quietly listened to the scholar of Deng Xizi's academic studies who had a Zheng accent talking about the principles of law and nature. The smile on his face was also due to a kind of confidence in the strength behind him.

And he also knew that Wei Rang was his own person, so he was waiting for Wei Rang to do something.

When everyone finally chose to recognize the wealthy businessman who was stocking up on goods was not guilty, Wei Rang finally stood up and looked around and said, "I just said that after the law is settled, I am guilty. Now that the people of the country want to establish the law, then the fiefdoms and nobles should all swear to agree with the laws agreed upon by everyone."

"If you comply, you must obey the laws, investigate the fields, grant the fields to the people, and pay them in installments."

"If you fail to comply after the oath, it is illegal. You should deal with it and take back the fief, and the people will return it to the public treasury before the payment is made."

"If you don't swear to agree with the decree agreed upon by the masses, then you should expel them."

"In the past, Duke Cheng of Wei wanted to rebel against Jin and be close to Chu, but the people of the country refused to follow. After the public controversy, he expelled him to please Jin. The king did not obey the public's wishes and was driven out of the country and lost sacrifices, let alone the nobles? Aren't these doctors from Fei? Since they were from Fei, they still did not swear to abide by the laws formulated by everyone, why could not learn from the Marquis of Wei that year and expel them?"
