Chapter 96 Everyone can be a scholar
Wei Rang is not the kind of person who sounds like thunder.
But after he recited the contents that were being discussed in Si Shang one by one, each sentence seemed to have the power of thunder.
The envoys sent by nobles who still wanted to bargain, every time they heard a sentence, they were struck by lightning, and they could not believe that these words could be said from Wei Rang.
Meng Sheng knew that this was the highlight of today. These remarks were already a bit radical, which was equivalent to completely cutting off the possibility of reconciliation with the nobles after taking advantage of these few days.
Once the things Wei Rang said were passed, many things became different.
This time, the Mohist family secretly used Ji Sunluan behind their backs. Now the power of the Chinese people to discuss politics is equivalent to Ji Sunluan's giving it to him, and Ji Sunluan itself is the biggest variable.
No one can predict whether it is reliable or whether it is changed.
Once these things of Weirang are passed, it is equivalent to this: Ji Sunluan came to power through a coup allowed by the old rules and rules, and granted the power to discuss politics to the people. After discussion, the people came to the conclusion that the meaning of the existence of the monarch is not sacred, and the people have the right to overthrow under specific circumstances.
Working creates wealth is itself an anti-feudal theory. From this theory, it can be concluded that the wealth of aristocrats is not in line with the will of heaven, and people like farmers, industry and commerce should obtain wealth.
Those explanations of heavenly ambitions, heavenly ways, and nature are equivalent to completely rejecting the statements such as the sacred emperor, the sacred princes, and the differences between noble and humble.
These things are not science. Just as the world is born of human beings, people should be equal and have the right to life?
Why do you say that there is a natural way?
Why do we say that the reason for the emergence of the country is that in ancient times, ten people and ten righteous people and hundreds of righteous people and people elected common righteousness for common benefit?
The nobles thought to themselves, I also said that the origin of the country originated from the destiny of heaven, and was ordered by heaven. The emperor was granted the title of princes, the princes were granted the title of the doctor, and the doctors raised the scholars.
It was just because most people wanted this and believed that this was beneficial to them, so this idea became popular after the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period. After the Mohist school began to spread morality, iron tools, ox plowing, fire potion, water and machinery began to transform the material foundation of the world.
After all, the matter here in Feiguo is just a revolution disguised as a coup, which is to change the "righteousness" of a country, rather than a change of a monarch based on the principle of not changing the rules and righteousness.
The oral debate on this matter and the argument of truth can only be reversed back to the original starting point: Is it right for everyone to be equal? Is it right for labor to create wealth? Does everyone have the right to pursue a better life?
Only by rejecting these foundations from the source can different conclusions be drawn. Otherwise, it would be impossible to refute the "reasoning" mentioned by Wei Rang on the basis of acknowledging that everyone is equal and labor creates wealth.
As long as you want to refute, there will be a complete separation between the nobles and the farmers, farmers, industries and commerce, and it will become two different "righteous" classes. However, it will live to the death and make your righteousness firm and become the righteousness of the world.
Once this kind of separation occurs, even if the nobles win for a while, they will eventually lose.
At this moment, after Wei Rang finished reading all the thirty items, the taxi sent by the nobles did not choose to directly refute from the most fundamental starting point.
The scholar who had just been besieged by everyone and asked him to go down, facing Wei Rang and everyone, and asked, "Even if you are right, even if this makes sense, can something reasonable be done?"
"I said that winter is too cold, and it makes the most sense. The best solution is to pull the sun closer, so that it can protect the cold and unclothed people in the world to have a happy face."
"Is this a mistake?"
After he asked, he replied, "The truth is not wrong, but it cannot be done."
"So, we must settle for the second best, choose to wear clothes, create fire, and seal windows to survive the cold winter."
"Maybe all you said is correct, but you have to do it, just like pulling the sun closer."
"Maybe the blood relationship between the sects of the world's sects may not be correct, but it's like people cannot pull the sun closer and have to choose to wear clothes and seal the windows."
"Just talking about morality, ambition, and absurdity will cause chaos in the world! At that time, everyone is hungry and eat each other, and seek profit and kill each other. Can such a thing be solved by reason?"
Wei Rangqi said: "How did you come to know that what we are going to do is equivalent to bringing the sun closer?"
The scholar sneered and said, "How can everyone do governing the country and governing it? First, there were princes, and the princes were granted officials, and there were scholars under them."
"This is a choice made for the stability of the world. Scholars join the army, manage government, and get fiefs as salary. Without these, the country will be in chaos..."
Before the man could finish his words, Wei Rang laughed and said, "Can you not be a wise man who is the one you are talking about?"
"Besides, in the battle of the storm, the Yue warriors challenged their troops and were bombarded by the Hannong, and the saying that no soldiers were not in the army has been proved to be wrong."
"In the past, countries raised scholars and divided land. The scholars were plundered by their subordinates, but did not farm themselves. It was because the salary was enough to replace them and practice martial arts, so as to assist the princes."
"In the past, the above soldiers took a car to fight with one hundred, so no soldiers would not be in the army."
"But now, you will select the best warriors of Qin, Jin, Chu, and Qi, and let them fight in a car. Can they defeat the charity army composed of the saviors, industrial and commercial commerce and guns and cannons?"
"In the past, countries raised scholars and immigrated land. Scholars were plundered by their subordinates, but did not cultivate themselves. It was because their wealth was enough to replace them. Their father learned a lot and passed on them to their sons, so that scholars could read and read for generations and general history."
"But now, the grass on the Si area has been released, the paper is cheap, and the printing is skilled, so both farmers, industry and commerce can learn it to inherit knowledge."
"So, did scholars who were able to assist the kings rely on their men's bloodlines? Or did they rely on their knowledge?"
"In the army, but in terms of the benefits of a country, it is no longer necessary for men of blood who were originally worthy of their farming. It is purely a waste. There are so many scholars, but some scholars can raise a hundred thousand people, which is better than those of shoemakers' origin?"
"When governing and assisting the country, when it comes to Jiaxiang, all labourers, merchants, and industries, who can be defeated by the wise men of Si Shang?"
When the scholar heard this, he was scattered and roared, "Are you going to kill the people in the world? Are you not necessary for the existence of people? Are you going to let all the people in the world splash blood for five steps to resist the humiliation?"
Wei Rang laughed and said, "We want everyone in the world to become scholars, respect the principles of virtuousness, and everyone can be virtuous, not from their bloodline. We just want to return to the essence of scholars, so that scholars can be revived as civil and military officials, and not these worm-fish men who are now in corpses!"
"In the past, King Wen defeated Zhou, Duke Zhou was granted a country, and divided the princes of the world, and the princes were divided into officials, not to let them live in a place, but to allow them to govern one area, so that the people could benefit and the industries flourish. This was the intention of being granted a prince and a doctor back then."
"But nowadays, in the name of a doctor, embezzles land, accumulates wealth, and seeks fame and fortune, and has forgotten the intention of a doctor."
"In the future, the country of Fei will not only have scholars, but also officials. It is just that these scholars and officials will live in it, and they will make the people profit and prosper the industry as their own responsibility. This is the way to return to civil and military affairs. It is just that the fiefdom is abolished and the salary is granted, and no longer inherited!"
Wei Rang stared at the scholar, but in fact he almost cursed: "You are not for the glory of the scholar, you are just for the fiefdom of the scholar and the power of the servants to cultivate the fields."
However, he did not scold, because it was meaningless.
The emergence of gunpowder, the rise of infantry, and the light of dawn of cavalry made the original chariot and warrior class lose their meaning of existence, and also made them insufficient to resist the resistance of the common people, farmers, industries and commerce in the world.
The emergence of paper, printing and simplified characters has made the original literati class lose its meaning of existence, allowing young people who have received education in Si Shang to beat these family-borne taxis at the cultural level.
This is the reason why the Mohist school has been huddled in Si for so long.
More advanced culture and more advanced knowledge allow the Mohist family to gain the world, and they no longer need people in the original aristocratic system, or even cooperate with them. They will crush them if they dare to object, and there is no need to worry that no one will become an official.
Otherwise, even if they can win the world, the sons of scholars who came to power will not let go easily, nor will they take the initiative to implement the strategy of removing the firewood from the Mohist family by revoking the fiefdom - individual people may destroy themselves for justice, but one class will not destroy themselves.
The scholar class is the inheritor of world culture.
But Si Shang has created another culture and spread it in a simpler and more convenient way to destroy the original culture and shape a new culture.
Just as Zhe Yangzi's previous opinion on Fei Jun, the matter of Feiguo should be turned into a "holy war", a dispute over justice in the world, and an "holy war" that swept the world with old rules, old culture, old systems and new rules, new culture, and new systems, and can only win.
The moment when Fei Jun rejected it was the moment when Zhe Yangzi decided to join the new meaning.
Now, the situation in Fei State is difficult to change, but the princes in the world have been slow to move, and have not let go of their disputes. They have all been extinguished when the flames just rose. So today Wei Rang made such a call in Fei State.
He can say, dare to say, and can say these words unrestrainedly because the Mohist inferred that from a macro perspective, the material foundation of the land of Si Shang has changed, and everything in the old era can be pushed down without fear of no one being the grassroots officials. Every year, there are so many self-cultivated farmers and employees from Si Shang, who are from industrial and commercial backgrounds, they will line up for a new vacant seat, and the old nobles and scholars will not fall, so how can they get up?
