At noon on the second day, the Wei envoy and the Chu envoy appeared in the house together, kneeling on the reed mat very casually.

There are not too many rules of etiquette, because this is Pei County, so it is necessary to follow the rules of the ink man "pitching around, the ceremony of majesty, and the holy king Fuwei".

The Mo scholars did not pay attention to etiquette, and thought that it was a waste of time to bow and circumstance, and that this was not something that the holy king should advocate, so they could only sit down at will.

The appropriate people also sat beside Mozi, and Yu Huali came forward to introduce these ink people one by one.

Shi was the youngest of the attendees, and the last of the Mo's to be introduced.

Ren Ke may not have heard the names of many ink artists, but he was extremely impressed. In addition to those things about Jiahe wheat flour, many of the Xiongwen on the straw silk that was handed down to Wei were written by this person.

After a careful look, I found that Shi Ye had not yet reached the age of the crown, and his face was green.

The ink man is also dressed similarly, without a crown and wearing short brown, and the origin and status of this person cannot be judged from the clothing, but it has long been rumored in the market that this person is the son of a shoemaker.

There are many nobles among the ink artists, but after giving up the aristocratic clothing, they cannot be distinguished from those craftsmen and farmers in the ink artists.

Ren Ke didn't look at the Chu envoy, and when the bird slippery was introduced, he turned his mind and said with a smile: "It seems that this is 'blue out of blue and better than blue'." Wei Hou greatly appreciates this sentence, if you talk about it, the Qing of Jin in the past, and now the Hou of Zhou, the destruction of Zhongshan and the chaos of peace, this is exactly Wei out of Jin and better than Jin. ”

Suitable to understand the elegant language, but it is not good to speak, and there is some dissatisfaction with Ren Ke's praise in his heart, although this blue out of the blue is better than the blue, although it is interesting, but it is a little inappropriate.

However, perhaps Mozi knew that the appropriate Yayu was not good, and he also heard some provocative meaning in this sentence, so he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Mozi does not live in people's work, this is what Zhongxing did later." In the past, the Bank of China Wenzi asked for bribes from Zheng and besieged Zhao Handan with unknown interests, and finally perished. Later generations can write such eloquent writings, although they are no longer kings and doctors, but they can persuade people to learn, and they are indeed better than blue. Whatever can benefit the world can be victorious. ”

These words are reminding Ren Ke that such a thing as blue does not necessarily have to be an official. The administration of the Bank of China is unclear, and the descendants can make such eloquent writings, which can benefit the world, which can certainly be praised.

Hundreds of works and crops and even civil and military affairs, as long as they can benefit the world, can be better than the blue, and they can all be appreciated.

But now that Weiss is the marquis, he is in an unjust war, and I am afraid that he will follow the old path of the Zhongxing clan again.

Ren Ke was speechless for a while, his heart had long heard that Mo was good at arguing, and Mo Zhai was a giant of the Mo family, and one sentence was mixed with many sharp thorns.

I thought it would be best not to use those small means today, otherwise I was afraid of losing face.

He restrained his thoughts, saluted Mo Zhai again, and praised: "Sir has benefited the world by weathering the wind and rain, and I also know it in Wei Di. After the grass silk Xiongwen was introduced to the Wei land, I also heard the dispute between the Mo family and the Lie Yukou about the beginning of all things in Taoyi on the way, and the single sentence was 'the four directions of heaven and earth, and the ancient and modern universe was said to be the universe', and I suddenly felt the firmament of heaven and earth. ”

The summary of the universe as a continuum of space and practice, and the appropriate copy of the discourse of the corpse that is born immediately, can be said to be extremely comprehensive, and a simple sentence can give birth to infinity and human insignificance.

After Ren Kezan finished, he said: "I have heard that the ink man seeks the will of heaven. However, the universe of heaven and earth, ancient and modern, is infinite, and the will of heaven will be infinite. Mr. once said that what is in line with the will of heaven is right, so can the Mo family grasp the exhaustion of the universe? ”

Mozi was calm, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Ren Ke said: "I know and admire the methods of Mr. and the ink masters. But I don't think the truth of the ink will work. If Mr. wants to benefit the world, he must rely on means rather than reason. ”

"Without the righteousness of the Mo family, it can also benefit the world. For example, the new valley, the columb, the ploughshare, and other things of the Mo family, could it be that because they did not use the righteousness of the Mo family, they could not increase the output of the land and make the people rich? ”

"Now the Marquis of Wei seeks talent, just like a person who travels far away and thirsts for water. Isn't it right for the ink to want to benefit the world? Don't talk about the righteousness of the ink, it can also benefit the world. What does the Mo family want to convey the righteousness of the Mo? Or do you want to benefit the world? ”

He skillfully separates the righteousness of the ink and the benefit of the world, as if these two things are not directly and necessarily related.

And the various technological innovations mentioned above seem to prove his point: there is no need to change the system and change customs, just to spread the technology. It is better for all ink writers to be technical officials, so that they can also benefit the world.

This is a question for all ink practitioners, Shi glanced at Mozi, signaled that he wanted to come out, and Mozi nodded slightly.

It's not that he doesn't want to answer in person, but because Mozi feels that this kind of thing should be handled by a special person.

Although Shi can't speak Yayu very fluently, there are many people in the Xuanyi Department and the secretary who can speak Yayu and are from a down-to-earth aristocratic background, and they will speak to Ren Ke.

He bowed to Ren Ke, and Ren Ke also returned the salute and said, "It seems that you want to tell me the truth of the Moji." I don't think I can compare with Mr. Mo Zhai, so please say. ”

Shi Dao: "What you said doesn't make sense. If we want to benefit the world, even if there are oxen and iron tools and new grains, if the peasants are called up to fight in the unrighteous wars, even if these new things appear, can the land grow crops on its own? ”

"If you want to forge a sword, you need both copper and molds. So do you think that all you need is copper to forge a sword? ”

The scribe who sat next to Shi Shi relayed the words in elegant language very smoothly, and Xiaosheng only recorded it on the side, copying it quickly.

Ren Ke shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Now that there is a mold, and the ink artist just wants to change a mold, I think this is not necessary, and it cannot benefit the world. ”

Shi asked: "You have passed through Pei County, can't Pei County be governed?" ”

Ren Ke said with a smile: "Pei County has been governed, which is what I admire." However, the governance of Pei County is related to the art of the ink man, not to the righteousness of the ink man. Could it be said that if a soldier wears leather armor and kills someone with a sharp blade, can it be said that the credit for the killing is attributed to the leather armor? ”

Shixiao asked: "If you want to prove that the righteousness of the ink can benefit the world, you only need to keep the original technology unchanged, and you can know." Is that the case? ”

Ren Ke nodded yes, and said: "If the ink man did not use the techniques of new grain, cattle ploughing, ridge farming, and composting in Pei County, but remained unchanged and only the righteousness of the ink practitioner, and Pei County was governed, then I would admit that the righteousness of the ink man can benefit the world." ”

Shi Haha smiled, and said after a while: "Then in today's customs, it is a thick burial and a long mourning." Ink is used sparingly, and the funeral is not increased, but it can still benefit the world, please let me tell you, is it okay? ”

Ren Ke made a gesture of asking for advice, and the two sat opposite each other, and the ink artist in charge of relaying sat beside him.

The scene was silent, and the ink scholars were all watching this argument between Shi and Wei Envoy, which was about the morality of the ink masters, and it was extremely important.

Although he is suitable as the head of the Xuanyi department, this kind of thing should have been done by him, and since Mozi nominated him as the head of the Xuanyi department, he also thinks that he has a keen mind and can take on such a responsibility.

Although there are many truths, the ink artist knows it in his heart.

However, it is not easy to tell the truth in your heart in words.

Many ink practitioners can be clear in their hearts, so they behave in accordance with the rules of the ink masters, but if they are asked to express what they think in their hearts, they will always feel that the words are in their mouths, but after they say them, they do not mean that at all.

Moreover, during the debate, the opponent cannot just listen to you, but find a way to grasp the loopholes or mistakes in your words to investigate deeply, and if you can't deal with it in time, you will definitely be frustrated.

Ren Ke's reputation is not obvious, but since the Wei people sent him, he must also have certain means, otherwise it would be impossible to send him to deal with the Mo who is known for his good arguments.

may not be as good as Yang Zhu, Meng Sunyang, Lie Yukou and others, but the reputation of the ink artist before was too bad, which made many people who came to fight for fame on their own lose face, not only did they not win the fame but became a laughing stock, so there are very few people who have taken the initiative to debate with the ink man over the years.

It is impossible for this person to have not heard of these things in Weidi, and now he dares to come, which is obviously also confident, and should not be underestimated.

And it is also excellent to come forward in time, after all, everyone in the world knows that Shi is only the son of a shoemaker, and he is the youngest among Mo Zhai's personal disciples, and he has not joined the Mo family for a long time.

In this way, even if you lose, you can always recover, and you can just do a temptation.

Ren Ke naturally also knows that the ink is good at arguing, doing righteousness and being good at arguing, which are the two labels of the ink man that cannot be ignored.

He was a guest under Zhai Huang, and this time he took the initiative to ask Ying, and Zhai Huang agreed that it also showed that he had the ability to do so.

Since he knew, he didn't dare to choose to directly argue with Mo Zhai, who was famous all over the world and retreated from the army of Chu State with one mouth, and he was refuted by Mo Zhai with more spikes in his answer after just a little careful thinking, of course he didn't want to.

However, it is suitable for the youngest, and Yayu is not good, maybe this is a point that can be broken through.

As long as you win, then even if you lose to the rest of the ink makers, you can be regarded as fighting for the reputation you want.

Moreover, it seems that Shi is also an important figure among the ink masters, if he can win the debate, even if Mo Zhai comes forward in person, I am afraid that in the future, there will be many ink people who will be shaken by their minds.

As long as the mind is shaken, many things will be easy to do.

Before coming, Zhai Huang, Li Kui and others told Ren Ke that there was no need to win over those ink people who had the talent to control the government, but to use this time to let those ink people who had the ability to implement government decrees know that Wei Hou was seeking talent, and also let those who were not firm should be properly shaken.

Mo scholars can continue to practice righteousness in Pei County, continue to use township schools to spread technology, and train batch after batch of disciples, but these disciples may not all be as strong as iron. As long as three out of ten people are like this, then it is equivalent to providing a steady stream of talents for Wei - it seems that only Wei is the only one who seeks talents and gives scholars enough room to rise, and at the same time has the potential to dominate the world.
