In fact, there are many people in the world who ask Xu Xi about it.

At least twenty years ago, there were hundreds of Mohists who died in the wind and rain to benefit the world, and then thousands of them later.

At least now, there are more than a thousand people in the farmhouse who are full of ideals, truly equal and compassion.

It looked a lot, but Zhu Xia was too big, and more than a thousand people were inside, just like the stone that Jingwei threw into the East Sea.

Therefore, what the Mohist school has been doing is not simply rebellion, but changing the material foundation and class attributes of the world, increasing the number of people in the vanguard, and more and more people fighting for their own class interests.

The Mohist family is not a farmer, because the Mohist family has been a theory of interests of urban handicraftsmen and businessmen from the beginning.

Until now, Xu Xi looked at the "social investigation" given to him by the Mo family about several villages that the farmers would be under the jurisdiction of the future, and Xu Xi seemed to understand why the Mo family gave them gifts here.

Xu Xi took the gourd to fill water from his disciple, took a sip of water, and suddenly asked his son Xu Xing: "What do you think is a farmer?"

Xu Xing didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "The farmers were very hard and poor, and they were the most affected by the world's labor, food, military service, and wars."

Xu Xi smiled, put down the water-filled gourd, looked at the yellowed fields and cultivated land in the distance, and sighed: "You have learned the numbers on Si, those strange but easy-to-use counting symbols."

"What is a farmer? The farmer is the zero of the strange number used in Sura."

"One hundred zeros, one thousand zeros, ten thousand zeros, or zeros."

"Zerosum is important, but more importantly, the one, two, three, four, five in front of zero."

"Otherwise, no matter how much zero, it will still be zero."

Xu Xing has learned the nine numbers in Si, and also learned the strange numbers that are different from the previous nine numbers, but are more convenient to calculate.

Zero is a magical existence among those numbers.

What his father said seemed to be right. No matter how many zeros are, it is still zero. What matters is the number before many zeros.

Xu Xing asked: "Does my father still think that what farmers in the world need a wise man?"

Xu Xi nodded and said, "Yes. The monarch is one, two, and three in front, so the zeros behind will make the monarch stronger; the true sage is one, two, and three in front, so the zeros behind will have meaning."

"This is true for farmers in Song State, and so for farmers in Wei, Chu, Han Qi. We are compassionate and have the intention to make farmers live a better life, so we can make farmers live a better life. In fact, if the monarchs in the world have this heart, it will be the same."

"I have been wondering if the path Mo family is taking is right? If there is no monarch in the future, or if the wise man is chosen as the emperor, who will restrict those merchants and workshop owners?"

"Rely on one zero after another? No matter how many zeros are, they are still zero, nothing is."

"The number ahead can be zero, either one or two. I hope there is a power to suppress those profit-oriented businesses."

Xu Xing has been in Si Shang in recent years, reading many books from the Mo family, and has also heard many speeches from the Mo family. He has read too many Mo family newspapers, but he is a little opposed to his father's words.

Even if the father is right, the farmer is indeed one zero after another, but Si Shang’s approach is based on reason and the will of heaven. Instead of human beings, but using the will of heaven as reasoning, we can draw which one, two, three, four, and five in front of zero is.

Xu Xing believed in the Mo family's words that there may be Dayu and Shang Tang in the world, but there may also be Xia Jie and Shang Zhou. Only the will of heaven is eternal. People should follow the way of heaven and follow the way of heaven, and follow nature, rather than placing the hope of the world on the holy kings of civil and military affairs.

If there is a heavenly ambition, if it is in line with the heavenly ambition, everyone can become a saint king. The difference between a saint king and an ordinary person may be just because the saint king’s way of nature is in line with the heavenly ambition.

But Tianzhi's rational inference is exactly what the farmers lack, and it is also the main reason why the Mohist criticized the farmers for saying that they were fantasies.

After hearing what my father said, Xu Xing asked: "Father, if we try our policies in these townships and truly make the land of ploughing people and the market is not a second price, then we are actually still subject to Si Shang."

"For example, iron tools are not something that can be produced by one person during the slack season."

"Even if you can produce during the slack season, even if Jia Bu Erqian in our city, even if there are too many huge profits in Si Shang, it is still cheaper than what we produce ourselves."

"What should we do? Should we use it? Or not?"

"For example, even if the people are assigned to the land, they need the help of Si Shang."

"The Mohist family said that they would repay the food in the future. So don't we still need a government that the Mohist family calls for, and they must have?"

"The Mohist school has always said that our ideas can only be realized in a small country with few people. Without everything outside, it is possible that even if the chickens and dogs hear each other and never interact with each other until they die.

"But the world is the world after all, we can't jump out or escape."

Xu Xi shook his head and said, "Child, you are wrong. The world is the world. If the world is divided into thousands of countries, small countries have few people, chickens and dogs will not interact with each other when they hear each other when they die, wise men from all countries will farm and eat together, and the market and merchants will not communicate with each other. The thousands of countries will choose wise men. There is no center of the world or the four directions of merchants. Isn't this the world?"

Xu Xing shook his head and said, "My father's words make sense, but they can't do it. The world should not be like this, nor can it be like this. The iron on Si, the salt on Huaibei, the cotton on Song land, and the seaweed ash in Yue land... The world can no longer be a small country and a small people who are old and desperate to interact with each other."

"What Taoism calls to eliminate saints and wisdom and restore natural state is nothing more than a kind of escape. What is escaping is the war at this time, and what is escaping is also the so-called inevitable pain of the Mohist school in the future."

"As for now, we are in charge of several townships, we can actually do it well, but my father has never thought about why we can do it well?"

How could Xu Xi not know what his son meant and sighed: "Don't I know it? Four years ago, I debated Shi Zi and I talked about my attempt at a farmer's house in Chu. Shi Zi said that it was because of the special care of the vassal of Chu, and there was no need to pay taxes or military service, but it was just better than elsewhere in Chu."

"It's actually the same now. The Mo family has military strength to guarantee that they can lend us money, iron and agricultural tools. We only have to manage a few towns instead of the vast world. Maybe we can do it well... But I always feel that the world should not be what the Mo family described, or do some roads have to be taken to cross that unfathomable abyss?"

Xu Xing sighed, "Father, we can do nothing. Without industry and commerce, we can only be controlled by the Mo family. We are not qualified to talk about the market Jiabu Erqi. When the farmers get the land and want more, they will plant the things they want in Si Shang... We can market Jiabu Erqi, but Si Shang will not allow it. What should they sell or what price should they sell? What can we do?"

He pointed to the "social survey" and smiled bitterly: "Father, look at the survey above. Apart from the land, except for wheat, cotton, corn, and corn produced in the land, what do we have?"

"No iron tools, no jinglin, no paper, no silk... nothing, we can't live without Si Shang."

Xu Xing looked at his father's face, hesitated for a long time, and said cautiously: "Actually, all this is not impossible to solve. We can start our own workshop and learn everything in Si Shang, but in that case, what is the difference between us and Si Shang? The money for starting and the craftsmen and hiring workers required for starting are not the same as Si Shang?"

"But if we don't start it, we will not be able to achieve the small country and the people who are old and die, and it is inseparable from Si Shang. We cannot live without Si Shang. The people who sent us here just dislike us for being noisy and just want us to understand this truth..."

Xu Xi looked at his son and asked, "What's the reason?"

Xu Xingdao: "The world that is inseparable from the world is the definition of the Mohist country. A small country with few people is not the world that the Mohist family wants. The same text, synonyms, synonyms, and profits, trade between the north and the south, and interests between the east and the west, and the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit, commodities are spreading, and trade is ubiquitous, which makes Zhao unable to be Zhao, and Chu unable to be Chu... This is what the Mohist family always wants to do."

"My father thought that the Mo family really wanted us to realize our morality, realize our expectations for the world, realize our wise men and the people, and the ideal of being a common farmer, and that the market and the family are not worth the price, so that we could send us to try in Songdi Village?"

Xu Xing bowed and said solemnly: "Father, no. The Mo family just wanted us to be their officials, borrow our hands, do what they wanted, and their people were freed up to use them elsewhere."

Xu Xi laughed loudly, looked at his son, and asked back, "Is it important? What the Mohist family wants us to do, what we regard us as, and even uses us... Are these important?"

"Even if we are just a few towns, we can at least realize our morality - making farmers live a better life. Although we cannot achieve the right of the city, it is at least better than before. Even if we die here, we can sacrifice our lives for justice, and we can also be regarded as our own righteousness."

"As for the future, it is still unknown. Most farmers in the world are ultimately the most. When one day industry and commerce hurt the benefits of farmers, our righteousness will eventually be remembered."

"Not now, but I believe that one day, the world will be the world of small farmers."

"One day, the wise and the people will plough together, and all the ploughs will have their own land, no taxes or taxes, and the market and the merchants will not be given equal value. The equal amount of labor will be exchanged for equal amount of goods. Merchants cannot benefit from farmers, and handicraftsmen cannot benefit from farmers, and achieve true fairness and equality in Jiuzhou of Xia. I have worked for a year, and I have earned a thousand kilograms of grain; you have worked for a year, and made a hundred feet of cotton, so one foot of cotton is exchanged for ten kilograms of grain... Unlike now, the weaver in Si Shang produced hundreds of feet of cotton in one year, but exchanged two thousand kilograms of grain, and removed the cost of a thousand kilograms, but bought spinning wheels to produce more. Is this fair? Is this equal?"

When Xu Xi said this, his eyes were shining with luster and his tone became more and more excited. Many disciples stood beside him, with a fierce heart. Even though he understood that this time the Mo family was just using them, it still didn't matter. What's important is that like the Mo family, they were working hard for their own righteousness, and doing everything.
