Chapter 157: Meeting the Pool (6)
A few days later, the disputes in Fengchi's hut had reached the most intense level.
For several days, the Mohist family, who should be the protagonist, did not say a word, but only let the stenographers keep recording the content of the conversation.
Talk and talkative, and tense.
Qin wanted Xihe, Chu wanted Daliang, Wei "fighted according to reason", Zhao was sarcastic and instigated by Qi.
In the evening, a sound came from the round table sitting around.
"I have something to say, please listen quietly!"
In this alliance, the four families of Wei, Chu, Han and Mo should have played the lead role, but they did not want Qin to win over the main character.
When they spoke, Wei hit Han Youxiong and others without saying a word.
Shi stood up with his legs, looked around, and whispered: "I've listened for two days, verbally, but what did I hear?"
"What I hear is the selfish interests of the king, but there is no word for the benefit of the people."
"Qin seized the Xihe River, and Wei guarded the Xihe River. I just want to ask, did Xihe belong to Qin a hundred years ago? Did Xihe belong to Wei thirty years ago?"
"With Wei seized the Xihe River, has there ever been a strategy to benefit the people? Qin wants the Xihe River, but can there be a way to make the people profit? If not, then what's the difference between the Xihe River belonging to Qin and Wei?"
"You have heard a lot of the words of the Mohist family. I only ask, can the people benefit and prosperity? Can the population increase? Can the total wealth of the people increase? If not, it is all for personal gain and unjust disputes."
Because Qin State valued the use of rebellion against Mo, he was already familiar with the Mo family's words. He was so happy that he heard this sentence.
He said intimately: "This is what the Mo family calls dog biting dogs! It seems that the dispute between Xihe is unrighteous, Wei is unrighteous, and I am unrighteous, and the Mo family will not care!"
The Qin State understood very well that the dispute over the Xihe River was at this moment, and the Mohist family believed that this was "dog biting dogs" and that it was the greatest support for the Qin State.
Because Qin does not need allies, all they need is enough without anyone to interfere. In Yinyang, Wei has already exposed his bottom, strong outside and attacked the fox and fake Wenhou's power!
But the State of Wei heard another meaning.
Since Qin occupied Xihe and did not respect the so-called three formulas of the Mo family, and neither did Wei, then both families were unrighteous.
Under the premise that it is unjust, whoever attacks first will lead to the disaster of war, which is even more unjust. Isn’t it said that the Mohist school supports Xihe to maintain the status quo?
However, Xi didn't care at all who belonged to Xihe. Xihe belonged to Wei and Qin, but it was ultimately unified by the Xia.
He was just looking for an excuse to turn the table up.
Faced with these princes and powerful officials and ministers, Shi Shi had seen many people, and he was no longer the immature appearance he had been more than twenty years ago.
He shouted loudly, his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Our Mo family is sitting here today, not here to share the spoils, but to benefit all the people of the world and seek benefits for all the people of the world!"
"This is our bottom line. Otherwise, what is the difference between us and you princes and nobles who seek to serve the world and support one person in order to seek their own interests?"
"In the Xihe incident, you are only arguing about who you belong to, but no one has ever talked about what to do after belonging to make the people profit."
"In the affairs of Zheng State, you are competing for cities, but no one has ever talked about the contracts of the people in Xinzheng City."
"Today's meeting is to stop the war. But why stop the war? It's not because all countries cannot fight and have to stop the war, but because the matter of stopping war is beneficial to the people of the world!"
"The way is different, and we don't plan for each other."
"This time, the meeting of the Chi meeting, my Mohist family has already made it clear that the meaning of tens of thousands of people is above the book "Letter to the World".
"The affairs of Zheng State began."
"The State of Chu retreated three times, and Wei and Han retreated a hundred miles to restore the land of Zheng a year ago."
"Mr. Zheng can exist, and the people elect wise men as representatives to discuss major events."
"The land belongs to the people, and the land is allocated so that every farmer has an untransferable portion of land that can make a living."
"The subject of the law is an individual, and everyone has private property, industrial and commercial taxes, and the amount is calculated and agreed upon by the public."
"Select wise men as ruling officials and formulate policies and regulations."
"Select wise men in the exam as administrative officials, collect taxes and repair water and farmers' justice, and those with talented people take responsibility for it."
"Select virtuous and capable people, keep faith and cultivate harmony. Therefore, friends do not only love their relatives, not only their sons, but also their sons, so that the elderly can have a place to live, the strong can have a place to use, the young can have a place to be good, and the widows, widows, widows, orphans, orphans, and disabled sick can have a place to support them. They do not have to hide their goods in their own hands, and they do not have to be self-reliant, and they do not have to be self-reliant. They can make their own strengths, and they can divide their duties and serve their favorites."
"This is an act of benefiting the people. Our Mo family does not care about Zheng's belonging, even without Zheng Jun."
"What we are concerned about is whether we can choose virtuous and capable people, be faithful and harmonious, so that our friends will not only be close to their relatives, not only their sons, but also their sons, so that the elderly can have a place to live, the strong can have a place to use, the young can have a place to be good, and the widows, widows, widows, orphans, orphans, and disabled sick can have a place to support them; they will not have to hide their goods in their own hands, and they will not have to be strong for themselves, so that they can each get their strengths, and they will be divided into their duties and serve their favorites."
"If we can do it, either Wei, Chu, Han, Qi and Qin can do it."
"How can I do it? To do it, I must conform to the will of heaven. How can I be considered to be in line with the will of heaven? I must do it as stated in the Book of Returning to the World."
"A hundred schools of thought and people of Xia, who doesn't expect the world to be harmonious in the future?"
"If Zheng Zhidi can't do it, then the disputes in the world are just dogs biting dogs! This time, the gangsters are just robbers sharing the spoils!"
If I had said this more than twenty years ago, I would have been a death disaster.
But now, he could speak out openly and slapped the round table angrily, and everyone just said nothing.
At this time, one person stood up and said, "I thought that if you were a giant in the Mo family, you would have amazing arguments when facing the princes of the world. But you didn't want to hide your evil intentions."
"If you say, if the officials in Zhengdi are evaluated and selected, wouldn't it be your Mo family members? When it comes to the despised witch doctors and gentlemen, the Mo family is the best at it! Isn't this Mo family's words about the Mo family's giants trying to pursue the selfishness of the Mo family?"
His words attracted some ridicule from the nobles, somewhat mocking.
Indeed, the Mohist family is indeed the best at witch doctors and gentlemen in recent years, and they are inevitably looked down upon by the nobles and regarded as a lowly school.
These words are heart-wrenching, and they are scolding Shi for being a prostitute and claiming that he is a stout woman. If this is the case, wouldn’t Zheng State belong to the Mo family?
Some people also know the Mohist chapter of "Shangxian" and think it is necessary to refute it in a long and long way.
But after facing this problem, he laughed to the sky and said, "Of course! It's for the selfishness of the Mo family."
"The Mohist school upholds the will of heaven and represents the interests of the common people, industry and commerce. The selfish interests of the Mohist school are the selfish interests of the common people, industry and commerce."
"For profit, the party is the party. In order to seek the benefits of the majority of people in the world, the Mohist school did not hide it. We are just to seek the benefits of the common farmers, industry and commerce in the world."
"Have you ever hidden your purpose? Could it be that you only realized it today?"
"What's the matter with me when I die? It's nothing more than profit. But this profit is the benefit of most people in the world, so what's wrong?"
"Can you princes and nobles seek profit, but not the common people, industry and commerce? Since you can seek profit, the Mohist school participated in this meeting of the Chi to seek profit, of course, to seek profit of the common people, industry and commerce."
The nobleman said angrily: "A gentleman is friendly but not a party, and a party is formed for profit, which is extremely ugly!"
Shi Zhengse said, "It's a big mistake."
"Didn't you hear that, the Book of Changes says: Zhou had hundreds of millions of ministers, but only hundreds of millions of hearts; Zhou had three thousand ministers, but only one heart. At that time, hundreds of millions of people had different hearts, so they could be said to be not friends, but Zhou destroyed the country. The ministers of King Wu of Zhou had three thousand members as a large party, and Zhou used them to prosper."
When the noble heard this, he looked disdainful and said, "You Mo family can't tell what friends are and what party are!"
"A person who is a comrade in the great way is called a friend. A person who is a fellow in the interests is called a party."
"The ministers of King Wu, all three thousand of them are righteous, how can they be called party?"
Shi said in confusion: "As long as you say, as long as you are a party who is united for profit, is it a party?"
The man paused and said, "However, a gentleman is righteous, and a villain is profit. If he gathers for profit, he will be a party."
Shi asked back, "What is the purpose of the 3,000 ministers of King Wu? Is it to seize the land wealth of King Shang?"
The nobles were furious when they heard this, saying, "Of course it is for the people of the world!"
As soon as he said this, he felt a chill in his heart and seemed to have fallen into a trap again.
As expected, Shi asked: "For the people of the world! So how can it be considered for the people of the world? Is it not because the people were abused by King Zhou and could not get the benefits, so he opposed Zhou Shang? Since it was for the people of the world, it would naturally make the people of the world profit."
"As you said, as long as it is a party for the benefit of some people, it is a party. Then why are the three thousand ministers of King Wu not considered a party? Or do you think they are not for the people of the world at all, nor for the benefit of the people of the world?"
"You said that forming a clique for profit is extremely ugly. Then isn't it extremely ugly to form clique for the benefit of the 'people'?"
"What is a party? That is, people who represent the benefits of a family of people in the world and gather together for it, are called a party. They can be a party for the sake of serving the world and raising one person; they can also be a party for the sake of the benefits of the people, the officials and ministers for generations... Then why is it ugly to form a party for the benefits of the common people, farmers, industries and commerce in the world?"
"From the beginning of its establishment, the Mohist family has been for the stability of the world and the great way to go. The world is the public and the nine provinces are united! Select virtuous and capable, and keep faith and harmony. Therefore, friends do not only care about their relatives, not only their sons, but also their sons, so that the elderly can have a place to live, the strong can have a place to use, the young can have a place to grow, and the widows, widows, widows, orphans, orphans, and disabled sick can have a place to support them. They do not have to hide their goods on the ground, and they do not have to be hidden in themselves, and they hate them without force. They do not have to be used for themselves. They can each obtain their own strengths, and they can divide their duties and serve their favorites. This is called the land of great harmony and happiness."
"This is all the benefits of the people of the world and has never been covered. What I said about Zheng State is naturally for the benefits of the common people of the world represented by the Mohist school. There is no need to hide it, nor does it need to hide it. Our Mohist school never bothered to hide our ideas."
"So I said, you are right. We came to participate in this Fengchi Club for the benefit of the farmers, industry and commerce in the world, and there is no problem at all."
The nobleman was stunned and could not reply. The other princes were shocked and surprised. Although the Mohist words had never been concealed, they would inevitably be uneasy when they said them on such occasions.
Shi looked around, stared at everyone's eyes, and asked, "I only ask one question, can this world be done as stated in the Book of Returning to the World? If you cannot do it, the Tao will be different, so how can you get along?"
He asked three times, but no one answered it.
Shi snorted coldly and nodded, as if mocking.
One of the people asked angrily: "The Mo family's great son means that is the Mo family's enemies with the princes and nobles in the world?"
Shi said solemnly: "If you give up the lifestyle of the worm, respect the learning of heaven and the aspirations, and do what is said in the Book of Returning to the World, the Mohist school will naturally walk backwards to welcome it."
"If not... it is not that the Mo family wants to be enemies with the princes and nobles in the world, but the princes and nobles in the world want to be enemies with the common people, farmers, industries and commerce! We Mo people, for the benefit of the world, will never go through fire and water."
"Those who have tens of thousands of comrades have the same heart, and those who harm the world must carry a three-foot sword to kill them!"
"The world is no longer a matter of stopping wars; is the world a matter of deterrence? It must be determined. Let's see whose flag is the future Xia Dynasty. I am here to advise you not to forget the Heze alliance in the past, and the world is about to fight, but if there is a city slaughter, the Mo family will sign an order to kill the unjust and destroy it!"
"Since the Tao is different, all the princes are for their own interests. The disputes in the Xihe River are nothing more than dogs bite dogs, and those who have the strength get it; the same is true for Zheng State to divide the spoils, and they do not agree with the policy of selecting wise men and dividing the land. The Mo family does not take any land, and does not divide the spoils."
