Shi said two strange names.

Mozi chattered for a long time, convinced that he had never heard of these two men.

That Tang Han is still understandable.

The kingdom of Tang Yao did not fall until the time of the son of King Wu.

When King Cheng was a child, he joked with his younger brother with a piece of paulownia leaves, saying that he would definitely seal a piece of land for you in the future, and Zhou Gongdan thought that the Son of Heaven had no jokes, and sealed Shuyu to Tang Yao's homeland, which was the later Jin Kingdom.

The original ancient Tang Kingdom was moved to Dudi in the south, and later generations may take Tang as their clan.

This Sainth is strangely tight.

Seeing Mozi frowning and thinking, he hurriedly said, "I don't know the origin of the two of them. At that time, I asked, and they said: There is only one choice for the world's knowledge and personal selfishness, what do you choose? ”

What exactly was chosen, whether it is appropriate or not, does not need to be said.

Mozi understood that if these words were true, then he must choose the world's learning, not personal selfishness.

Mozi no longer wondered whether these words were true or false, but asked, "Were those words created by these two people?" ”

Shi shook his head and said, "It was changed by Mr. Tang Han, not created." Mr. Tang Han once said that Cangjie made words, and the ghosts and gods cried, so they could only change it and not create it again. ”

Mr. Tang Han also said that taking the Tang character as an example, the original meaning was the earthen pond where Tang Yao burned pottery, and later Tang Yao became a holy king and governed the world, so this Tang character led to the meaning of grandeur, heroism and faithfulness. These great meanings, hidden in history and hidden in words, cannot be abolished, but can only modify the characters themselves. Don is still Don, just not so written. ”

Mozi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "So, the books you read from the two gentlemen are all written in this way?" ”

"Yes. That's why I was able to know the "Poems" and the "Rites". Only then can we know the name of Xi Zhong and the poem of "July". ”

It's not seamless, but it's self-justifying.

Mozi was very satisfied with everything he had done before, but he didn't know where he came from.

Although he often talked about ghosts and gods, he never believed in such things as destiny or destiny, and therefore he did not believe that a shoemaker's son could know such things.

Those few words half a year ago can be said to be smart; But these things after half a year are by no means explained by a smart person.

Mozi put his hands behind his back, looked at Su Mai in the distance, seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked: "The theory of "Promised Land" was also taught to you by him?" ”

Shi shook his head and didn't answer directly, but said, "Mr. Sai once told me about one of Mr. Sai's things. ”

When Mozi heard that this person had mentioned himself, he was also a little curious, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

He said that a disciple once asked Mr. if the future can be known. Mr. said that if a man's mother was seriously ill and dying, and he wanted to go back and see, then there were now two cars. One is a horse, and the chariot is a round wheel; The other is an inferior horse, and the rook is a square wheel. So which one is more likely to see your mother? ”

Mozi nodded and said, "Yes, this is the story I told. So I think the future is predictable. ”

Seeing that Mozi agreed, he said: "Common sense is that you must choose a horse and a round wheel. But the horse may die, and the wheel may shatter. Therefore, the future can be predicted and cannot be predicted. Mr. Sai said that the predictable future is called inevitable; The unpredictable future is called accidental. The inevitable future is predictable, but the occasional future is not. The poem "Promised Land" is the inevitable future that I predicted after seeing those things, but whether it can be realized or not is an accidental future. ”

"Mr. Sai finally understood many truths after a hard time, and he also taught me the knowledge of predicting the inevitable future. I have also seen many of the things in "Promised Land", and they were made by the two of them after they understood the origin of things. ”

When Mozi heard this, he imagined the demeanor of these two people and sighed leisurely.

He nodded for a long time and said, "I believe this." I also admire the intelligence and skills of these two people. However, these two people are so talented, seeing the chaos in the world and the strife of the nations, and knowing the inevitable future, why don't they stand up and do great righteousness? ”

Shi knew that Mozi was a doer, so he squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand from the cold ground, held his palm weakly, and let the sand gently fall through the gap left.

After a while, all the sand flowed out, forming a small cone of sand on the ground.

"Sir, it is inevitable that the sand will fall like this, and that such a pile of sand will be formed. A thousand times, ten thousand times are such piles of sand. ”

Mozi nodded, lowered his head again, grabbed the sand pile just now in his hand, and fell back and flowed out.

"But, sir, the same sand and the same sand pile, but is the position of each grain of gravel the same? If any grain of sand changes its position, then we don't let the sand flow out naturally, but want to swing each grain of sand, but we may not be able to make the simplest sand pile. ”

Mozi stared at the falling gravel, thought for a while, and asked, "This is what the two of them told you?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Sai said, since the sand will eventually form a sand pile when it falls slowly, then why interfere? A hundred years will not reach the promised land, perhaps a thousand years will be reached. And if there is human interference, how do you know that it will be fast? Or how do you know that there won't be a river of blood? ”

As soon as Shi's words fell, Mozi laughed loudly: "Pedanty! A good piece of jade can be pierced by a drop of water, and it will be perforated after a thousand years. No matter how good a craftsman is, he may damage the jade. But the craftsmen of the Xia Shang period may have broken one piece of jade out of ten, but now they may only break one piece of a hundred. Is it possible to worry that the jade will be broken, so you can only rely on water droplets to wear it? ”

"This is Yang Zhu's idea, the sand is like a person, gathered into a pile of sand; Countless hairs and skin, forming the arms; Therefore, the tiniest hair-like thing should not be damaged, no one can dominate the lives of others, and nature is the most natural, and the world is ...... He thinks well, but if today, aren't those princes who don't understand the will of heaven in charge? If there is no prince who does not understand the will of heaven, it may be so; If there is a prince who does not understand the will of heaven, do not do so! ”

After the laughter, Mozi stared at Shi tightly and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Shi Ye laughed and said: "Sir, look at this Su Mai, listen to the "Promised Land", do you still need to ask? Since we know that this sand will gather into a pile of sand in the future, why don't we do it? Do the righteousness of the world, and the disciples will die without regrets! Please accept me as a disciple, please let me become a writer who helps the world, and please let me use this heavenly will to make the world less hungry! One person is small, but the crowd can be achieved. ”

After shouting a few slogan-like words, it is appropriate to bow down and wait.

Mozi looked at Shi who was bent over, reminisced about the hot words just now, thought about what Shi Shi had done in the past six months, looked at those green wheat, and listened to the disciples in the distance either exclaiming or laughing curiously, and finally put his hand on Shi's shoulder.

"Good. I'll talk to you about something else when I'm back in the city in a few days. You can have the heart to help the world, that's the most important thing. If you can endure hardship for half a year, you must be firm in your mind. Don't mention this beforehand, and then tell me about this method of deduction in the future, and I will listen to it. ”

A burst of ecstasy was set up in his heart, and he understood the suffering, tanning, starvation, offense, and frightening sweat he had suffered in the past six months...... It's all worth it.

This is the first and only way for a shoemaker's son to move up in this troubled world.

At least, I don't have to worry about a random person tying myself to a tree and whipping him, I don't have to worry about a random person killing me for the reason of obedience and misfortune, I don't have to worry about dying in the siege of the city in a year or two, and I don't have to worry about dying of hunger after two or three years.

Survive, these three simple words, until this time can be regarded as really in their hands.

In troubled times, life is cheap, and life is even cheaper.

After rejoicing that his life was no longer as cheap as grass and trees, he felt that Mozi would definitely ask more about Tianzhi.

Unexpectedly, Mozi said: "You squat down, I will read a word, and you write it on the ground in that kind of writing." ”

I don't know what Mozi wants to do, I think it's very unreasonable, and it's very unusual.

Without asking too much, he squatted down, picked up a wooden stick on the ground, and waited on the ground.

"There must be three expressions of words. What are the three tables? Those who have the roots, those who have the original, and those who are useful. What is the origin? The above is the matter of upholding the will of heaven for the ancient saint king; Where is the origin? Shimohara examines the ears and eyes of the people; What is it for? It is abolished as a criminal policy, and the interests of the people of the country are viewed. There are three expressions of this so-called statement. ”

According to his own habits, he wrote this paragraph in familiar words from top to bottom, and also added some vertical punctuation marks on it.

Punctuation is very important, and with punctuation some things can't be interpreted indiscriminately.

Without punctuation, the sentence "the people can make it but can't make it known" will go to two extremes, and people who point out different punctuation will hate each other and denounce each other angrily.

When Mozi finished reading it, Shi also finished writing, carefully tasting this sentence, knowing that Mozi was praising himself.

This sentence roughly says that there are three standards for doing things: there is a source, there is a reason, and there is practice.

The original is made by knowing the universal laws of things; What is inferred is to ask the people after making it, and rely on the feedback of the people to know whether it is good or bad; What is practical is to formulate laws and decrees after giving feedback from the source and the people, and observe whether the country is rich and strong and whether the people are profitable.

In addition, those words such as destiny and destiny are unnecessary. Take these three to judge whether you are doing something right or not.

Is it in accordance with the will of heaven and the universal laws of things? Does it make the people applaud and agree? Can the country be rich and strong, the people benefit, and the people be well-being?

This is the third table of the ink maker.

This is talking about the non-fateful view of the Mo's disbelief in the destiny of heaven, and it is also praising the appropriate in this way.

It is appropriate to say that he has realized some of the heavenly will and the origin of things. It's for the sake of it.

It is appropriate to do, and these things he did in the village community have been recognized by the village community. It's for the sake of the original.

Suitable for teaching, he taught people to plant wheat, plant Moyu sweet potatoes, and teach some children to read and write, which is naturally beneficial to people, and can be extended to the country to become rich and strong. It's for use.

Exactly three tables.

Mozi expressed his appreciation in this way, and also observed the words written on the sand in this way.

He didn't explain why he said this, but stared at the words, and finally saw some doorways.

"All these square characters can be broken down into six or seven small characters?"

After speaking, he picked up the wooden stick on the side and drew a dot, a horizontal and a vertical next to the word......
