Chapter 79: A New Mode with Mud

The four questions asked by Wei Yang, who was nervous and excited, made Xu Xi speechless, and many people here also thought deeply about these four questions.

If the people are the Lord of God, then how should we calculate the incident that Ximen Bao experienced when he was governing Ye?

If the people benefit, this is the will of God, or this is the cornerstone of the people being the Lord of God, then Ximen Bao cultivates Zhangshui and that is the Lord of God.

If the people's opinions are divine will, and what is important is this form rather than the interests behind it, then Ximen Bao's cultivation of Zhangshui is against the people as the gods.

So is Ximen Bao's rule of Ye a manifestation of the people being the Lord of God?

This incident is also a disagreement between the Mohist and the farmer. The Mohist talks about utilitarianism, effectiveness, and justice of the result, and the interests of most people who can be killed by killing one person in the world. Therefore, the Mohist thinks it is, and greatly appreciates this incident in the books of the Ming Dynasty.

It is difficult for farmers to answer because the biggest problem of farmers is that their ideas are fantasy.

For example, when it comes to dividing land, the farmer’s idea is to equalize the land and the people benefit, so it is emotional.

The Mohist school proved through systematic theoretical arguments that it was unreasonable for land to belong to the emperor and princes, and dividing the land was conducive to the increase of the total wealth of the world. By the way, it was divided because the people were happy to do so, and if the people were not happy to do so, they also got points.

Because the Mohist school now has its own system, the Mohist model is: let the people recognize this system, and then isn’t the Mohist resolution recognized by the people? This is what the best is, what the best is, and what is wrong is synonymous with the world.

If there are contradictory situations, such as if the people demand the restoration of the feudal system and requested a emperor, then the Mohist family will naturally oppose it and will use the ultimate veto power and the violent machine of the Si Shang Yishi to maintain all this.

The biggest problem facing farmers now is that farmers cannot prove whether the fantasy of small farmers, market enterprises are not worth 20% or equal labor parity exchange can make the people rich and powerful.

Because the Mohist family criticized the farmers all day long, saying that they were a paradise of fantasy, under this criticism, the farmers were unable to provide effective refutations, and could not have a program that could be implemented throughout the whole process. They used a populist attitude and hoped to rely on the advantage of the number of people to achieve their fantasy.

These questions raised by Wei Yang hit the life of the peasant Xu Xi. Under this extreme idea, without a program that implements the entire program, should populist opinions be abide by?

This simple question seems to be a practical question, but in fact it is a theoretical question, so it is extremely difficult to answer.

The farmer chooses the saying that "the people are the master of God" to prove that their idea of ​​a small peasant in the whole nation is in line with the will of heaven and gods and will be beneficial to the people, but in the future, they can still fall into a situation where they are not profitable or even harmful to the people.

Wei Yang asked this question, which was Xu Xi, is the greatest public opinion? Or is the greatest public interest? What is the purpose of public opinion?

Many of the people present are famous figures all over the world. They have been immersed in this kind of thinking for decades. How could they not hear the implicit sound of this disciple of Zijiao?

Shi was also quite surprised. He looked at the young man standing behind Zijiao, and whispered to the secretary beside him, "Who is this person?"

The secretary and the secretary were very knowledgeable. He had a list of people present and was prepared for it. He also whispered: "The Wei people are named Yang."

Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Wei Yang involuntarily a few more times, and said in his heart: "So it's him?"

Wei Yang also felt the look of the right person, and he was secretly happy. He understood that if he could get a few praises, he would become famous all over the world, and it would be enough to use these few words to be a stepping stone and enter the court.

He avoided the look of his eyes, and still had a calm attitude of questioning, and asked a few more questions in a loud voice.

Xu Xi was silent for a long time, and he was still the leader of the school after all, so he naturally had a demeanor, so he said, "I can't answer. In your opinion, the monarch has unlimited power, is that the best system?"

Wei Yang nodded and said, "Nothing is wrong."

In one sentence, many people in the entire venue made a buzzing sound. This was the poison that was expelled in the old world after more than 20 years of correction by the Mohist school. It was so poisonous that it could no longer be eradicated. No one thought that the unlimited power of the monarch was a correct one, and more people began to mention the saying that the people were the Lord of God.

Wei Yang's words were shocking.

Of course, if you say this thirty years ago, it would not be shocking, it would just follow the mainstream of the world.

Today's noisy opposition and booing sounds are like fairy music when I hear them.

Wei Yang said calmly with these booes: "If there is a lord who knows the will of heaven and all the decisions he makes are beneficial to the world, then is it the best to have unlimited monarchy power?"

Someone immediately retorted: "If there is a monarch who does not know the will of heaven and everything he does is like Zhou Zhou and Jie of Shang, Xia and Jie, then the unlimited power of the monarch is the worst."

Wei Yang said calmly: "Yes, but what I said is not wrong."

A famous scholar in the Song Dynasty smiled and said, "You are changing your concepts. Unlimited monarchy may have the best result or the worst result, but in itself it is not the best. It is a fallacy to change the result to your real name."

Wei Yang was young after all, and there were people from all schools of thought here, especially famous scholars who were able to fight with the Mohist school for a hundred years in debates, and were even more good at finding logical loopholes.

Shi smiled in his heart, knowing that it was time for him to come forward and mix up, so he said, "Today is not an eloquent meeting four years ago, so I won't talk about this in advance."

"I remember someone once said that since the Mohist school talks about putting test first, then the cost of testing the world may be tens of millions of corpses."

"Our Mohist family is convinced that everything we do is in line with the will of heaven, but some people do not believe it, and some even think that their ideas are the most beneficial to the world."

"Since that's the case, I think it's better to try it in Song."

"The farmer has the righteousness of the farmer, Yang Zhu has the righteousness of the Yang Zhu, Taoism has the righteousness of the Taoism, and Guanzi has the meaning of the Guanzi... Each person has a different opinion, and the world is in chaos and different."

"Since that's the case, it's better to try each of you."

"Of course, even if Confucians are gone, I don't think they are willing to come. After all, what we have to do is to break rituals and music. Confucians will not come, and we are not inconvenient to invite them."

Many people guessed this result, and many people were inexplicably excited. This was not only an opportunity to be in power, but also an opportunity to verify the morality of their own school to stabilize the world.

Shi said it very sincerely, but he looked at the people from the hundreds of schools in his heart and thought to himself that you can jump down this big pit.

Just like the place close to Si Shang, you will rule without doing anything. If you will rule without doing anything in Si Shang, which is close to the developed industry and commerce, and you will not become a place of origin of raw materials and a place of dumping goods, I am afraid that this heavenly way will really make no sense.

Just like the blueprint of a farmer's dream land, the idea of ​​small farmers' deep-seeding labor exchange, if it can develop a world, the way of heaven is really unreasonable.

You will lose sooner or later, but you have to understand that it is not because the world chose the Mo family, but because it gave you the opportunity. The world tried all the possibilities, but it failed in the end.

Moreover, this matter itself is more like a reward from the Mohist family, because all this was not won by their blood. Many of them still lack the experience of governing. In contrast, if they are not convinced, that would be a strange thing.

The fate of Song State cannot be decided by Song State. This is the sorrow of a small country, and it has been and has been accustomed to it since Duke Xiang of Song.

Today, the Mohist family can divide the Song State into many counties and districts with a big pen, making it a loose federal country, just like cutting fish on a chopping board.

But it cannot be said so bluntly. Even if you cut fish, you have to talk about what these fish should be placed in the future.

Shi smiled and took out a blueprint that had been unanimously planned by the top leaders of the Mohist school to completely destroy the cultural concept of Song State.

This blueprint is a result of a mixed relationship, but it is not a mixed relationship under the struggle of strength, but a mixed relationship under the uncompromising moral dispute. The Mohist school stands outside and uses force to ensure that the people who can be mixed.

The situation in the Song State was just a matter of trying to be mixed, because the princes would not allow the Mo family to annex the Song State. At this time, the full war was not conducive to the Mo family, so it was the best way to be mixed, and it was also a consistent continuation of the strategy of first and then north that had been decided since the Mozi era.

Now Song Gong has no power and Dai is powerless, but the same is true. The nobles who hindered the centralization of power in Song were wiped out by the Mo family. Most of the old nobles of Song were captured during the battle of Dangshan, a few committed suicide, and not many fugitives.

The Mohist school has learned from the lessons of Chu.

In the battle of Daliang City, Wu Qi killed and captured Chu Youyin and many kings holding Gui. A large number of powerful Chu nobles were weakened. Chu instead became a blessing in disguise and opened up the opportunity for reform.

Now that the old nobles of the Song State were wiped out, the Mo family could not directly control them, and they had to guard against the intervention of various countries. They were very worried that the Dai family or Song Duke would really become a centralized trick like elected dukes. They relied on the hundreds of thousands of farmers in the Song State to complete the centralized unification of the Song State.

After all, the biggest internal obstacle to centralization is gone, and now seemingly powerless people may seize the opportunity.

The old nobles had no restrictions on centralization, and they had to introduce new people who decentralize power.

The fiefdom became a county and a district, the fiefdom became a sect leader, and the ruling family became a disciple of the sect.

The Song State is still the same state, and the centralization of power is still the same dream. Dai's dream of taking the emperor's father can help him realize it; Dai's intention to inherit the emperor's father's will and carry out centralized reforms to strengthen the country, so Shi had to break his back and put shackles on his body just in case.

Shi just said a few words, but Wei Yang thought in his heart that the State of Song will be destroyed from now on.

What he saw was that Si Shang seemed to be participating in politics and actually had been centralizing power and re-centralizing power, while the neighboring Song State, Si Shang was always advocating decentralization and re-decentralization.

The gentleman's courtyard and common people's courtyard that were founded last time made the Song State not do anything for twenty years without looking around the great country. Every day, the nobles and nobles, the great nobles and the small nobles, the nobles and the merchants were busy quarreling, and they were ineffective. That is, the Si Shang guaranteed the independence of the Song State, otherwise the Song State would have died long ago.

Now some people have shown some signs of wanting to do big things. The Mo family demolished the Gentleman Courtyard and the Common People's Courtyard, ruining the families of those who want to make a strong country, and then creating a large number of districts and counties that are independent.

Wei Yang thought to himself, the great imperial concubine of the Song State Dai family... is not the great imperial concubine of the Song State, I am afraid that even the doctor of Shangqiu is not considered a doctor.

And what about the Song State? I’m afraid there is no longer the concept of Song State that can gather the hearts of some people.
