Chapter 292: The Eve of the Great Chaos (1)

The gentleman smiled indifferently, didn't say more, and continued to inquire about the family.

She didn't want to talk about it.

When Yunzhong received a few books from her husband, she also received a letter from her husband, who was one of the first children who grew up with Shi, and there were a lot of complaints in the letter.

The two corresponded so closely, not because the teacher and student had any romance, but because her husband was a woman, one of the few who followed the former girl who was suitable for school, and the current woman.

The complaints were too heavy, too profound, and some too sensitive.

There are indeed some aspects of Sishang's current policy.

This problem lies in the three words "benefiting the world".

There are many factions within the Sishang Mo family, no matter what faction, there is no difference in the purpose of the three words "benefiting the world".

The difference is in the process.

In his letter to her, the husband said: "Benefit the world? Now the big industrialists and merchants want to profit the world, because they feel that the goods sold to Chu, Yue, Song and other places are too small, and too many farmers cannot afford to buy them, because they have no surplus grain to exchange. Therefore, the big industry and commerce in Sishang wanted the land reform of Chu Yue and Song, because they needed more people who could buy things. ”

"Small businessmen want to benefit the world, because they feel that so many people in Chu and Yue Song are trapped in the land, but they can't go to their workshops to work and can't be hired to farm for them, making it difficult for them to invest their accumulated money and make more money. What they want is for the land to be owned by the people of the world, and then the one with the highest price will get it. ”

"The benefit of the world is good until now, and the farmers of the Song Kingdom of Li are more miserable than before the world; The serfs of the Yue Kingdom of Li were even worse than before Li Tianxia. ”

"How many people really want to benefit the world? How many people just worship money as gods, want to make more money for themselves, and hope that the world will change according to the rules that they can make money? ”

"It's good for Sishang, but what about the world? Saying that the world is Kyushu and the world is Kyushu, is it possible that Song, Yue, and Chu are not the world? Why is it that the people there are becoming more and more miserable? ”

"It is said that the people's system of laws seeks the benefit of the world, and I think the world is changing towards the appearance that those big industrialists and businessmen want! Gu is cheap and hurts farmers, can the school introduce it? Can the city dolphin be unclear? ”

"But the valley is cheap and profitable. Is this law of industry and commerce the law of industry and commerce? Or is it the farmer's law? ”

"The price of grain is getting cheaper, and the more commodities are increasing, the more money the princes and nobles need, and the more weapons they want to buy, the more they drive the farmers in their fiefdoms to plant and mine in the way of Sishang Farm. Cotton cloth destroyed the hemp spinning of the Yue Kingdom; Iron tools ruined the stonemasons and bone builders of the Chu State; The few people who granted land in Chu Yue and Song were decreasing every year, so that they went bankrupt and fled in debt. ”

"Sishang is rich, but what about the world?"

There were still too many complaints on the letter, and the gentleman could see the bitterness in his heart, but he didn't know what kind of letter to reply.

Saying that Tianzhi and knowing Tianzhi will be, under Tianzhi, what will the world look like in the future?

She thought about benefiting the world, and the benefit of the world in her eyes was just to wait until the clairvoyant mirror that could see the moon of the Tai Sui Star was polished and made, and she and her classmates drew a complete map of Kyushu with accurate latitude and longitude.

There are some things that seem to be running away from her and not wanting to think deeply.

The divergence of routes in Sishang has existed since 20 years ago. Is it to first enrich Sishang and then use force to change the world, not hesitating to let the rest of the world suffer and bleed, and even use the dumping of Sishang industry and commerce to make the contradictions elsewhere more serious?

Or do you use the technology in your hands to spread it to the world, change the system, make a large number of officials, and reverse the trend, so that even if you are still a noble and eat meat, the people can drink soup, but you can make the people have more soup?

Or is it full of arrogance, directly starting a war with the old system of the world, and omitting this process of getting rich first?

Or maybe it is Sishang not attacking the country, forming its own system, formulating the non-offensive Zhuxia righteous law, meeting the princes of the alliance, maintaining the division of the world and benefiting the people of Sishang?

The battle of the four routes, running through Sishang after Mozi's death, is not only within the Mo family, but also about the people who are gradually awakening to pursue their own interests.

Merchants, handicraftsmen, large landowners, small farmers, the Mohists, the largest owners of capital, craftsmen, hired workers in coal and iron mines, outsiders who fled to Sishang......

When "righteousness is profit" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there will naturally be different demands, and no one can change them.

Which way to take is good for the world? Who is the most profitable person in the world? These are all problems, and this is the reason for the internal controversy in Sishang.

Takayanagi is a paradise, at least for now, because it is dominated by yeoman farmers and industry and commerce have just developed.

The pains of the old times have just faded.

The pain of the new era is yet to come.

Many people in Sishang can personally feel the turmoil and changes, but they don't feel it deeply, and they still carry the most beautiful fantasies.

If you want the next paradise, you have to bear the next weight.

There are not only good, but also bad.

The Mohists were not the spokesmen of the small peasants, but the spokesmen of the burghers.

It's just that the previous propaganda about the Promised Land has only said that it is good, and that is because the bad ones are still not revealed due to insufficient development for the time being, and when the bad things appear, how many people would rather go back than go forward?

When the peasants and businessmen stood together against the aristocracy and the feudal system, they were close. But now it seems that the aristocracy and the sub-feudal system have not been completely eliminated, and the contradictions between them have already arisen.

The gentleman didn't dare to think down, and he didn't want to think down.

Under the times, everyone has their own choices, she can't change her husband, she also knows that she can't change her brother, no one can change it, she can only let the waves overturn.

I thought of "Fate" in a daze, and couldn't help but think, is this a kind of ups and downs of fate?

Shu Prisoner Mi saw that her sister was a little stunned, and said strangely: "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

The gentleman hurriedly smiled: "It's nothing." By the way, how is Uncle now? ”

She naturally knew that the uncle who also studied with the school was now very good, and he entered the Xuan order to become a doctor of mathematics, a doctor, a scholar who was erudite in ancient and modern times, and originated from the Qi country.

She just didn't want her brother to see that she had a lot on her mind.

Not only did he know, but he also knew that his uncle's classmate and his husband were very dissatisfied with Shu Qinghou in the letter.

Her husband is likely to be her little aunt, but now it seems that it is only difficult.

said that he hid in the attic of the Xuan Xuan to study the nine numbers, and no longer asked about the affairs of the world.

Of course, there is still respect for his knowledge, saying that it is a great talent of this person, or it is really possible to solve the equation of one yuan and three powers in twenty years.

In the letter, Mr. also said that he himself has been stargazing too much recently, his eyes are very painful, and his neck is a little stiff when he looks at the stars and the moon all day long, but he seems to have vaguely felt some laws for the movement of the moon, and hopes that he can realize the laws of the movement of the sun and the moon and even the eclipse of the sun and the moon before he dies.

In addition to this, he also informed her of two recent calculations that might overturn some conclusions that the world thought were unchangeable at the time.

At this time, the whole world believed that the Zhou metric system ceremony passed down the study of nine numbers, one of the six arts of the gentleman.

Moreover, at this time, there were a lot of rumors circulating in the Nine Numbers Realm, which naturally appeared a long time ago.

It is recorded in "Da Situ" that the silhouette of the Zhou Gonggong pole, on the summer solstice, was eight feet and got the shadow of one foot five, so it was determined to be in the world, so the Xingdu Luoyi was called China.

There is also a long-standing saying, the so-called sun shadow is one inch apart, and the theory given is that there is a summer solstice day with eight feet of gui and the sun shadow is one foot six.

These two statements have been in place for a long time at this time.

The Mo family does not adopt it, because according to the teaching method in the Mo family's school, the earth under your feet is a ball, and when the gentleman went to school, he knew that the length of the meridian of the earth was 40,000 li in the Sishang unit, as for how to measure it?

The school introduced that it was measured by his two gentlemen, and gave a verifiable method. Whether it can be tested or not, whether it can be tested at this time, then he doesn't care, just tells them that this is not made up casually, but can be repeated experiments to falsify.

Naturally, the female gentleman's letter will not be entangled in the statement that the sun and shadow are thousands of miles apart, and in the letter, the gentleman gave a guess, or inference, that may shake the world......

In the previous measurement, Mr. calculated the latitude of the so-called eight feet of Gui and obtained one foot and six shadows, and then followed this latitude, and it was easy to find an easy inference - this place of eight feet and one foot and six shadows was probably measured by the fiefdom of the ancient saint king Tang Yao.

Tang Shuyu's fief was in the Tang Dynasty, which was the later Jin, and the Tang Dynasty was the homeland of Tao Yao in ancient times.

Luoyang on the summer solstice, it is not eight feet of Gui and one foot five of the shadow at all, but the Yang City of the Holy King Dayu should be the place of eight feet of Gui and one foot of five shadows.

In other words...... The so-called statement that Zhou Gong personally measured the difference between the sun and the shadow by an inch is not correct at all.

Naturally, it is not to say that the sun and shadow are a thousand miles away, which is not recognized at all in the Mohist family's own system, but to say...... This matter may not have anything to do with Zhou Gong.

These are many measurement methods and results handed down from the ancient Tang Yao era, plus the measurement results of the Xia Yu era have long existed, and it is likely that the Zhou Dynasty borrowed what was already there, but added these things to the color of the Mandate of Heaven.

It is rumored that Zhou Gongyan said: measure the depth of the soil by the method of Tugui. The sun is in the middle of the earth. In the south of the day, the scenery is short and hot; The north of the day is long and cold; The east of the day is beautiful and windy; The west of the day is the Jing Dynasty, and it is cloudy. The view of the sun, the ruler is five inches, and it is said that in the land, the place where heaven and earth meet, the place where the four o'clock meet, the place where the wind and rain meet, and the place where yin and yang are also together.

Therefore, Luoyi is in the world, and this destiny is also located.

On the letter, the gentleman's gentleman believes that there is a day shadow of one foot and five places in the Yu era as the capital, and there is the middle of the world. As a result, many rumors were kept in the ears and eyes of the nobles.

And the Zhou Dynasty just borrowed this long-standing measurement, but added the color of Mandate of Heaven to itself.

The so-called place of heaven and earth is also the place where the four seasons meet, the place where the wind and rain meet, and the place where yin and yang are in harmony...... It's just an explanation of why the sun shadow is one foot five in the world.

He said that it was because the capital of the Holy King Dayu was one foot five of the sun shadow, so there was a saying that one foot five was in the world.

It's not that there is one foot five that is the place where heaven and earth meet, where the four seasons meet, where the wind and rain meet, where yin and yang meet, and then find a place where one foot five is the capital.

In the end, Tang Yao's Zen position was given to Shun, and Shun's Zen position was given to Dayu; Or did Zheng Shun imprison Yao and Yu and defeat Shun...... Nowadays, there are all theories, and there are different opinions.

But judging from some circulating historical materials, Yao and Shun said something similar to Yu, that is, "Yun Zhi is in it".

In this, in addition to virtue, is there any other meaning?

At the time of Tang Yao, in the middle of the world, it was a place where the shadow of the sun was one foot six.

When it comes to Dayu, there is a place of one foot five in the world.

In the world, it is closely related to the destiny of heaven...... Can it be said that there is also a meaning in the world? Tang Yao gave the throne to Shun and passed on the Mandate of Heaven, and Shun's capital is in the world; And Shun passed to Dayu, so Dayu's royal city is in the world?

So...... If there really is a destiny, it is only "the victor is the destiny"?

In other words, there is no mandate of heaven at all, and whoever wins the world is the mandate of heaven; It is not said that whoever respects the mandate of heaven can win the world!

The letter has considered his own idea a lot, one is that the relationship between the Mo family, Zhou Tianzi, and the old system has been tense to the extreme, and as soon as this statement comes out, it can be regarded as pouring cold water directly into the oil pot.

"Destiny" and "Mandate of Heaven" can still be refuted, and the Mandate of Heaven at least makes the princes fearful, and they don't believe in "Destiny".

But if it is launched on the basis of "Mandate of Heaven...... The alternation of the mandate of heaven is only the result of the winner winning the mandate of heaven rather than the victory of the one who has the mandate......

I was afraid of the strife of the nations, and I no longer had any worries. What is the Son of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, those who are strong and strong will get it, and if they get the world, the capital will be in the world, and they will get the Mandate of Heaven!

The world is in turmoil, and it is close at hand. The last bit of theocratic concern among the princes would also be completely destroyed.

The letter said that she had handed over this inference that might make the world completely chaotic, and hoped that he would make a decision on whether this article would be spread to the world.

The world is in turmoil, and it is close at hand.
