Seeing that the Qin people did not answer, he said: "Suo Lu Shen returned from the extreme west, and he saw and heard along the way, and knew that he could trade profitably. Zi Mo Ziyan "Festival Funeral", once said, "There is a righteous canal country in the west of Qin, and when his relatives die, he gathers firewood and burns it, and smokes it to be called Dengyao". Its customs are not the same as those of the Central Plains. ”

"This time, Suo Lu Shen returned, Xinglin Hu Lou was annoyed, and returned to Middle-earth through Zhaodi, and I heard that Qin and Yiqu were at war."

"If you don't talk about benefiting the people, it is said that it is beneficial to Qin Jun, in my opinion, Qin Jun's interests and public ambitions are in the west and not in the east."

Yiqu is an ancient state that has existed since the Shang Dynasty, and over the years it has had dealings with the Qin state, and began to move from nomadism to farming, which is a major stumbling block to the expansion of the Qin state in the west.

In later generations, it was rumored that the place where the Yellow Emperor and Qi Bo sat down to discuss medicine, that is, the place where Qi Huang's hometown was located, was the capital of Yiqu today.

After occupying the land of Longdong, according to Suo Lushen's observations, this Yiqu has begun to turn to agriculture and learned to build a city.

In a battle between Qin and Yiqu twenty years ago, Yiqu actually used a very formal "farming" tactic, relying on the defense of the city, exhausting the Qin army, and then mobilizing heavy troops to counterattack the Qin army under the city.

Mozi has been active in the Central Plains for a long time, and has never entered the Qin, but he also knows the funeral customs of Yiqu, which is also a state with some presence in the Central Plains, a bit similar to Jizi Joseon, there are few people who have been there, but there are many people who have heard of it.

The places occupied by Yiqu are all land that can be farmed, and originally the Qin State did not have much advantage over Yiqu.

It's just that the times have changed now, and once the Mo family gives the Qin State technical support in terms of iron, with the benefit of gunpowder and the strength of iron, the balance of power between Qin and Yiqu will change dramatically in just a few years.

There is no Great Qin complex, but considering the conceptual scope of the world in the future, cultural transmission and other factors, now that the world is in chaos, it is better to take this opportunity to let the Qin State assimilate the Yiqu and expand to the west.

Although those people who are victorious are rebelling against Mo, although the changes they carry out cannot last long, they use the Mohist official scripts, compile Shiwu, and unify culture; Second, they are more or less progressive than those feudal nobles.

In terms of Mohist morality, the world should be determined to be one, and it should be synonymous. At the beginning of synonym, it must be the same text. This alone was enough to support Qin's westward expansion.

The strength of the Wei State is unknown to others, but Wu Qi knows.

Although Yiqu has the convenience of riding, after the change, the Qin State has won successive battles, and the rebellion with Wu Qi is also known.

Therefore, when it was said that Suo Lushen and others could make a hundred times more profit in the extreme west by carrying silk and other things, these people's eyes lit up.

The Qin State still implements taxes in kind, and also suppresses domestic merchants as much as possible, but trade between countries is still necessary.

Whether it is some novelty goods of the Mo family, or copper and tin of the Chu State, etc., they require a lot of money.

If this trade could be monopolized by the state, it would greatly increase the revenue of the government treasury.

What is the west of Yiqu, what is it like, they have only heard about it, and they have also heard Suo Lushen and others roughly say that there are still tens of thousands of miles of land west of Yiqu, and there are even large countries that are not weaker than the princes of Middle Earth, with a lot of gold and silver.

Originally, in the eyes of the Qin people, the West was already a bitter cold land, but now after hearing this statement, I didn't expect that after the extreme west land crossed those bitter cold thousands of miles, it would be a bright willow.

After thinking for a while, Wu Qi asked with some puzzlement: "For example, today, the Warring States are in turmoil, and the princes are competing for power. The Mo family is far away from Sishang Huaibei, although there is no name of the princes, but the pressure is more and more pressing, and there are the princes. The world must be one, and in the troubled times of the Warring States, helping others is to weaken oneself. ”

"The reform of Qindi, the Mo family has criticized a lot, how to help Qin?"

Shi Langsheng laughed loudly: "A trickle of water eventually converges in the sea." Trickle or the heart of comparison, in order to compete for the majestic. The sea will not fight, let alone be jealous because of the surging water of the river, for fear that the river will compete for the vastness. ”

"Since the Mohists are committed to heaven, they must be confident in theory. Since the Mohists are committed to heaven, they must be confident in the system. In the future, the world must be the appearance inferred by the Mo family. To achieve that, iron, literacy, printing, ox ploughing, and gunpowder were indispensable. ”

"The heart of the Mo family is in the world. The eye of the Mo family is in the world. Qin Di is rich, isn't the world also rich? ”

"The Mo family is not helping Qin, but helping the world. It's not to help Qin Jun, but to let the people of Qin have the benefit of iron weapons; Let the cultural text spread to the Western Regions, so that it will be synonymous in the future. ”

"The world is already in power, and whoever decides the world must use this system. There is no momentum in the world, and using this system is the death of people. ”

"The righteousness of the Mo family, is it in one family, one country, one surname?"

He said loudly, and there was no cunning, and those rebels showed a look of shame on their faces, today they knew that the Mo family was changing the general trend of the world, but they were no longer able to participate in this wave.

Wu Qi knew that the Mojia people were self-confident and proud, and they had a kind of fanatical belief in the Tianzhi they believed in, and they used to promote it to the world.

The words that Shi said made Wu Qi feel a little ashamed.

Under the brilliance, his ambition is the difference between heaven and earth compared to the ambition of the Mo family. The world will change, not to mention whether what the Mo family said is really what they say, but this bearing alone has shamed many heroes.

However, in addition to being ashamed, Wu Qi suddenly thought of one thing, got up and saluted and said: "The heart of the Mo family is indeed like the sun and the moon. It's just that if this trade route is passed, the goods that can be sold profitably are nothing more than glass, silk, pearls and jade, etc., and the Qin land has changed, and the men and women can weave for their own use. Mo Jiali lured the Qin people to expand westward, but wasn't it still those silk workshops and glass workshops in Sishang that were afraid of profit? ”

Shi Qi said: "Could it be that the Qin people can't make a profit from reselling?" ”

Wu Qi was speechless, so he had to say: "You can make a profit, but it's only a profit from reselling." ”

Shi asked again: "Then all the places in the Central Plains, can't they benefit from the smooth Silk Road?" ”

Wu Qi said again: "You can indeed benefit." ”

Shi smiled: "Righteousness, profit." Everyone in the world can benefit, and this is a righteous act. Why doesn't the Mohists support it? ”

Wu Qi asked again: "The reform of the Qin land, the Mo family has a lot of criticism......

Shi Zhan said: "A cow, the coat is black, I can say that this cow is ugly." But because of this, I think the meat of this cow is hard to eat? ”

"The Qin land is changing, and the Mo family is powerless, so they can only criticize more. But Qin Di's actions that are beneficial to the world can't be considered wrong because of these mistakes. ”

"If you take a closer look, right is right, and wrong is wrong."

Wu Qi suddenly figured out one thing and asked: "If the Mo family's right or wrong heroes come to see, if I enter Qin, hollow out the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and make grammar and broadcast texts, so that the East and West trade can be connected, I will also be considered to be in great benefit to the world?" ”

"If I take 100,000 troops to Xihe and go down to Nanzheng in Qin, in the eyes of the Mo family, it will be an unjust war and a move that harms the world?"

"The heroes of this world are right or wrong, will it be up to the Mo family to decide in the future?"

Shi smiled and said, "I don't know yet." It's just that Zhongni does the Spring and Autumn Festival, in terms of etiquette. If the Mohists do history, they must talk about righteousness and benefit the world. ”

"The great talent of the public is known to the whole world, and my Mo family has heard a lot. This time into Qin, Qin land is thousands of miles away from Si, and there is a risk of Baogu from Nanzheng, how is Qindi, if it is only for profit, it has nothing to do with my Mo family. ”

But the theory of Eli is different. The transformation of Qindi is both good and bad. Collecting Shiqing's field, opening up the Mo Mo and breaking the well field, this Mo family is praised. ”

"Now that iron tools have been produced, farming is far more profitable than nomadism. The Yiqu people are still tribes and slaves, if the Qin people can make the Yiqu change customs and be close to the will of heaven, this is also a great benefit to the world. ”

"Besides, Middle-earth is rich, if the Qiang of the Western Regions still slash and burn, and have no income for a year, only looting, then we must find a way to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Treating the symptoms and curing the root cause and changing customs is the root cause. This is the great righteousness. Why doesn't the Mohists support it? ”

After saying this, he looked at Wu Qi and said: "The public has great talents, but the years are not forgiving." is close to the age of Jiazi, there is ambition, but there is no time. ”

"Xihe soldiers, Gongyi trained him, if he attacks Xihe with his own soldiers, how can he bear it? Moreover, although there are changes in Qindi, the strength of the military force may not be able to win in ten years. ”

"Nanzheng, the state of Shu, the Mo family operates, and is getting richer and richer. It is difficult to move and difficult to operate. The Mo family is good at guarding and is known to the world. Without raising a large army, Nan Zheng can't go down. With a large army, there is no need to mention the difficulty of transporting the required grain and grass, and Han Wei is looking at the wolf in Hedong, how can Qin Jun be willing to get Nanzheng and lose Luoshui? ”

"If you want to be ambitious, you don't want to benefit the world, and you don't want to be evaluated by my Mo family, and you can only expand the land to the west and build a city."

"If you open up thousands of miles, you will carry out the politics of the Central Plains, the same Mojia words, grant land to divide the people, and divide the land to weak Shiqing. Let the things of the Central Plains pass through the Western Regions, and let the gold and silver from the Far West flow into the Central Plains, and each has its own benefits, which is the great ambition and great ambition. ”

"Ten years can be done, and when future generations talk about the benefits of the world, they will never forget your efforts to dig the Western Regions."

Although these words touched Wu Qi, from the mouth of the Mo family, Wu Qi felt that something was still not right.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "I heard that the Mo family is not attacking and stopping the war...... How can you be suspected of inciting war? ”

Shi shook his head and said: "The Mo family is not attacking and stopping the war, it is just an explanation taken out of context." Zi Mozi once asked: What is the merit of those who attack an unrighteous country by setting up a drum and make the people go to war, and those who do not drum and make the people go to war and fight alone? ”

"Suppose to attack an unrighteous country, punish an unrighteous king, and cut down an unrighteous move, the Mo family must not only support, but also strive to be the first, and be a drum to make the people go to war."

"Righteous wars and unjust wars, righteous kings and unrighteous kings, righteous deeds and unrighteous kings, Zi Mozi said, I have the will to be like a craftsman with rules, and there are three expressions and three troubles."

"It can make the world rich, the people wide, and the government governs, which are the three expressions of evaluation and righteousness."

"The people have no food, no clothing, and no rest, these are the three plagues that define injustice."

"Three tables and three troubles are the rules that the Mohists support and oppose. As for the definition of the world's wealth, the Mohists also have a saying that those who meet must be supported, and those who do not meet must be opposed. That is why Solushen had to argue that land was not the only means of increasing the sum of the world's wealth. ”

"The Mo family does not abide by etiquette, only according to the rules of Tianzhi. Although there are injustices in the reform of Qindi, there are also righteous moves. Yiqu Xiqiang is unwilling to take the initiative to attach himself to the Central Plains to carry out the politics of the Central Plains, and to take the initiative to change in line with the theory of the Happy Land of the Iron Age, which is naturally unjust. Injustice should be punished, changing customs, spreading writing, widely placing officials, and implementing written laws and regulations, which of course were supported by the Mohists. ”
