Chapter 162: Execution of Injustice (Part 2)
He finished writing the letter, folded it, and handed it to the messenger beside him.
Looking at the broken walls, Shi didn't think about the murder of Wucheng, but was thinking about the way the Linzi Legion would be dealt with after being defeated.
If you say publicly, and his reply, this should be the consensus of the Mohist school, and no one can change it.
The letter from Public Chuangye has already stated that he has suggested discussing the issuance of the "Punishment Order".
From the perspective of personal feelings and moral standards of being a human being, it is suitable for support.
From the theory of love and love, the meaning of the world must also be supported.
Wucheng was slaughtered, and this matter must be attributed to the person who ordered it and must be tried.
As for the result of the disposal, the Mohist school's righteousness decided that it would not "cut the weeds and remove the roots", but it was more decisive than cutting off the material basis for such things.
From the perspective of utilitarianism alone, perhaps this matter can be attributed to "a small unbearable situation will cause big plans."
Shi knew in his heart that the solution to the massacre of Wucheng would inevitably shock the world, because what we would deal with would be the descendants, relatives, and real nobles of the king of a country.
It is not that the monarch was killed. Even the Emperor of Zhou was shot by someone, let alone the monarch?
However, killing the sons of the princes with the "unrighteousness" convicted by the Mohist family may directly push the Mohist family to the forefront.
How to deal with it?
Shi rubbed the bridge of his nose under his eyes, pinched it hard to make his mind clear, and called the commander to say, "You should go to Wucheng quickly and inform Gong Zaoye, and I would like to suggest that he be careful about Tian Qing setting up an ambush and not pursue him because of his anger."
After the messenger took the order and left, Shi sat on the earth again, took out paper and pen to write a letter to the center of the Mo family, which was the propaganda for the slaughter of Wucheng this time.
The hatred between the Qi people and Si Shang cannot be incited, and this is the top priority that needs to be resolved at present.
In addition to put forward his own opinions for the unified proposition of Xuanyi Ministry, at the end of the letter, he also wrote down his extreme concerns about the future situation.
"As for today, we must be wary of two trends."
"First, it is the Qin-style change."
"Shengchuo and others assisted the young master Lian to enter Qin to reform. The way they walked was something we must be vigilant about."
"The theoretical basis of the reform of Qin State was that land farming was the only means to increase value, which we must criticize. Moreover, in this matter, the fact that food requires gas, fertilizer, water and the total amount of food remains unchanged can be refuted, so we should take this opportunity to completely overturn this incorrect remark about wealth."
"The essence of the Qin State's reform was to strengthen centralization. This strengthening was based on the talent of Shengchuo and others, the trust of Gongzilian, and the construction of Gongzilian's fiefs in recent years."
"With Wu Qi entering Qin, Yiqu was defeated, and we entered Nanzheng and other matters, the Qin State's changes will be extremely fierce. The result is that the Qin State's old nobles were completely subdued, and Shengchuo and others were awarded military merits and received land. The means of receiving land will make the people of Qin State consistent with the Qin State's expansion interests."
"Not only that, even if the old nobles of Qin were defeated, they might still be in charge of their positions as officials, generals, etc. They will strongly support Qin's expansion."
"The Qin State values agriculture but neglects business. The land prohibited from being sold can only be granted. The laws are strict, and there is no way out for the people to make meritorious service in the army."
"Qin State also left such a way out for the people, which will make the people of Qin State, old nobles, foreign tourists, and lords all keen on expanding and fighting."
"In the long run, the Qin people were Qin people and the Wei people were Wei people, and all living beings in the world would have estranged."
After a quick pause, he wrote: "The second is another possibility besides Qin State."
"It's like Qi State."
"The rule of the Tian family relies on the Tian family and many nobles, and Tian He has no power to make a thorough change."
"This incomplete change may create another possibility."
"A compromise was reached between the nobles and the monarch. The monarch has military power and real power, but the nobles have their own fiefdoms and can maintain the state of the country in their fiefdoms."
"All generals, officials, and bureaucrats all come from relatives and nobles of the same clan. Although the monarch is centralized, he is not able to make a complete change in a time of great struggle, just like Qin invites Wu Qi to Qin. If not thorough changes are compromises."
"At that time, the expansion of Qi State will be the expansion that the nobles benefited from."
"The newly expanded land and population will become the fiefs of the nobles of Qi State, and the fiefs will be scattered to ensure the strongest power of the monarch."
"The monarch can recognize the rule of the nobles on their fiefdoms, taxes, labor obligations and other conditions. However, the nobles must fulfill their military obligations and pay military taxes. The monarch relies on gunpowder, iron and other weapons to organize an army belonging to the monarch."
"The State of Qi has no danger of Luoshui, and its doors are wide open. It cannot be violent internal changes like the State of Qin. Relying on the talents of Wu Qi and others, it will completely cut off the old nobles, making Qin the king the king of Qin people."
"But the power in Tian He's hands makes it difficult for the nobles to resist. If Qi changes after the Nanji River War, it will definitely form a new army. At that time, the nobles cannot resist the army of the common people in the hands of the monarch, and Qi Jun is not able to completely abandon the relatives of the nobles and become the king of the people of the Qi people. A balance will be reached: every expansion requires more officials, and these officials will be selected from the children of the nobles. Only by capturing more land can more nobles be enfeoffed, and the nobles can also get the most benefits."
He stopped writing, carefully considered the vocabulary, and said, "It seems that there is a difference between these two, but in fact, the essential difference is not very big."
“Both of these may be something we must be wary of.”
"There is only one way to solve the problem from the root: redistribute the land, cancel the fiefs of the nobles, and revoke the nobles' rule over the fiefs."
"What divides the land of the nobles and disintegrates the basis of these two possible things, which determines that we must be prepared to die."
"If the land system is not broken down, this foundation will always exist and may rekindle at any time."
"The collapse of this land system will mean that we will be enemies of the nobles in the world and will be irreconcilable."
"If the giant issued the order to punish the unjustly in Wucheng, then these issues have to be considered in advance."
"With this power, we can join the princes, just like the Qihuan alliance of Kuiqiu, when someone dug up the Yellow River embankment and attacked the princes in the world: we can also determine a small part of our righteousness, at least to massacre the city and burn the city, and to fight against the whole world, if the world does not, our Mo family will come to fight against it."
"But with the power, we made some fangs and claws, and our bodies were revealed. The princes and nobles in the world must have begun to nervous about the rest of our righteousness."
"The war in the future is inevitable."
"It's not a day that freezes for three feet, and I really think that the wheel is not a single exposing effect."
"For the future war, we must now make publicity and preparations. Some things that have to be hidden for the sake of the situation can no longer be hidden. Only in this way can the people know why they are fighting and how to completely eliminate the cruelty of the world."
"Associated princes, like Kuiqiu, is to treat the symptoms."
"The disintegration of rituals and patriarchal laws, the opening of fields and the cancellation of noble privileges and noble fiefs is the root cause."
"If not, today our Mo family is strong, the Wei people suffer from the rebellion of Zhao Zhongshan, the Chu people are forced by the Chen and Cai changes, and the Qi people are trapped in the dispute over Feidi, or have to form an alliance, and follow the Mo family's righteousness that the Mo family will not massacre the city."
"In the future, our Mo family will not conquer the world, or if the Marquis of Wei quell the rebellion, the King of Chu will change, and the Marquis of Qi will cultivate, and no one will follow the alliance. Just like the first time and the second time to stop the war."
"If you want to benefit the world, you must treat the root cause. The root cause is solid and the standard is self-governing."
"It has been more than 60 years since Zi Mozi founded the Mo family. It has been twenty years since Shangqiu gathered rules and established rules."
"I have been in charge of Xuanyi's Ministry for nearly twenty years and have been careful."
"From the gathering of rules twenty years ago to the public building of Pengcheng to suppress the rebellion and killing hundreds of tribes, the Xuanyi tribe's caliber was: to move the righteousness."
"From the Battle of Hanshui to the Battle of Nanjishui the day before yesterday, the Xuanyi tribe's caliber was: to make the world."
"This statement of contributing to the world may continue to be applied until the alliance after breaking the qi."
"But after the alliance, the propaganda of the Xuanyi Department must change. It is no longer a righteous act, no longer a conscript to the world, but a righteous act to become a righteous act to the world."
"Appointing the world will at most restrict the princes not to massacre the city, kill, or unjust wars. These are all symptoms of treatment."
"Only the righteousness of the world can be achieved. Our purpose is to change the rules of the world and dismantle the foundation of cruelty and unjustness, so that the world can be ruled. This is the root cause."
"The Xuanyi Ministry must understand these three stages of Xuanyi in our Mohist family and make quick adjustments to adapt to the new world situation."
"If otherwise, if we don't make changes sooner or later, the Si Shang clan will appear in the world. Should we stand together with Qi, Chu, Qin and Jin tribes, how can we talk about love between the world?"
At the end, Shi said again: "I agree with the order to punish the unjust."
"However, before issuing, all kinds of problems that may be faced in the future must be solved. The entire Si Shang needs to be prepared and the Mohist school needs to be unified from the bottom up."
"I'm not saying that a little bit of tolerance will cause chaos. If the order to punish the unjust order is not issued, then what is the difference between the Mo family and the princes who compete for the world to win the stakes?"
"It's just that if you issue it because of momentary anger or indignation, the consequences will be unpredictable."
"After this battle, Qi State could not walk on Si Shang for five years. The Three Jins were in trouble, and the Wei people could not go south for five years. Chu changed a new land, and many nobles rebelled, and they could not visit Huaibei for five years."
"This time, the order to punish the unrighteous order can be issued, and the words of the sword of the world can be used to express the relationship with the princes."
"But for the people of the world and for tens of thousands of people, it is necessary to make it clear that the brutal disputes in the world do not depend on whether the princes are cruel or unrighteous. The root cause is that the nobles of the world have a system of sealing land to expand and expanding land to the outside world. To resolve it, it is not possible to rely on the sword of the world to resolve it, but to eradicate the soil for such disputes."
"Cut the weeds and roots, and the soil will be there. Next spring breeze will rise, and the grass seeds will grow again with the wind."
