Wei Rang is not the kind of person who is like thunder.
But after he read out one by one according to the contents that were being discussed in Sishang now, every sentence seemed to have a thunderous power.
The envoys sent by the nobles who still wanted to bargain could not believe that these words could come out of Wei Rang's mouth as if they had been struck by lightning.
Meng Sheng knew that this was the highlight of the day, and these remarks were already a bit radical, which was tantamount to taking advantage of the events of the past few days to completely cut off the possibility of reconciliation with the nobles.
Once these things are passed, many things will be different.
This time, the Mo family secretly used Ji Sunluan behind his back, and now the power of the people to discuss politics is equivalent to Ji Sunluan's giving, and Ji Sunluan himself is the biggest variable.
Whether it is reliable or not, whether it changes its mind, no one can predict.
Once these things are passed, it will be equivalent to such a thing: Ji Sunluan came to power through a coup d'état allowed by the old rules and regulations, and gave the power to discuss politics to the people. After the people had the parliamentary power, they discussed it and came to the conclusion that the meaning of the king's existence was not sacred, and the people had the right to overthrow it under certain circumstances.
The creation of wealth through labor is itself an anti-feudal theory, from which it can be deduced that the wealth of the aristocracy is not in accordance with the will of heaven, and that these people should obtain wealth.
Those explanations of Heavenly Will, Heavenly Dao, and Nature are tantamount to completely rejecting the claims that the Son of Heaven is sacred, the princes are sacred, and the noble and the low are different.
These things are not science. Just as man is born from heaven and earth, he should be equal and should have the right to life?
How can we say that there is any way of nature?
How can it be said that the reason for the emergence of the state is that in ancient times, there were ten people with ten righteousness and one hundred people with one hundred righteousness, and people elected common righteousness for the common good?
The nobles thought to themselves, I also said that the birth of the country originated from the mandate of heaven, and it was ordered by heaven, and the son of heaven was appointed as a prince, and the princes were appointed as doctors, and the doctors raised their soldiers.
It is only because most people hope for this and think that it is beneficial to themselves, so this kind of thinking will become popular after the Spring and Autumn Troubled Times, after the Mo family began to spread morality on a large scale, and iron, ox farming, gunpowder, hydraulic machinery and other things began to transform the material foundation of the world.
In the final analysis, what happened here in Fei Guo is just a revolution disguised as a coup d'état, a change to change the "righteousness" of a country, not a change of monarch on the basis of not changing the rules and righteousness.
In the end, the verbal debate and the reasoning debate can only go back to the original starting point: Is it right that everyone is equal? Is it right that labor creates wealth? Does everyone have the right to a better life?
Only by rejecting these foundations at the source can we draw different conclusions, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to refute these "reasoning" of Wei Rang on the basis of recognizing the equality of all people and the creation of wealth by labor.
As long as you want to refute it, there will be a situation where the aristocracy and the peasants and industrialists will be completely separated, and they will become two classes with different "righteousness", but you will live and die, and let your righteousness stand firm and become the great righteousness of the world.
Once this division occurs, even if the nobles win for a while, they will still lose in the end.
At this moment, when Wei Rang had read all thirty points, the soldiers sent by the nobles did not choose to refute directly from the most fundamental starting point.
The soldier who had just been besieged by everyone and asked him to get off stood up, faced Wei Rang and everyone and asked, "Even if what you said is right, even if it makes sense, can you definitely do something that makes sense?" ”
"I said that the winter is too cold, and the most reasonable and best solution is to bring the sun closer, so that the cold and unclothed people in the world can be happy."
"Is that wrong?"
After he finished asking, he replied to himself: "There is nothing wrong with the truth, but it cannot be done." ”
"Therefore, we must settle for the next best thing, choose to dress, light a fire, and seal the windows to survive the cold winter."
"Maybe you're right, but you have to do it like you want to bring the sun closer."
"Maybe the patriarchal bloodlines that divided the world before may not be right, but it's like people can't bring the sun closer, and have to choose to dress and seal the windows."
"Only talking about morality, heavenly will, and heavenly principles will make the world chaotic! At that time, everyone will eat each other and kill each other for profit, can such a thing be solved by reason? ”
Wei Rangqi said: "How did you conclude that what we are going to do is equivalent to bringing the sun closer to this?" ”
The scholar sneered: "How can everyone do to govern the country and govern?" There were princes first, and the princes were doctors, and there were scholars below. ”
"This is a choice made for the sake of the stability of the world. Scholars served in the army, governed the government, and obtained fiefs as a lulu. Without these, the kingdom would be in chaos ......"
Wei Rang didn't wait for the man to finish speaking, and then laughed and said, "Aren't these scholars you said to be worthy of the sages?" ”
"Besides, in the first battle of Lushui, the Yue warriors challenged their divisions, and were bombarded and killed by the Shu peasants, and there were no soldiers and no army, which has been proven to be wrong."
"In the past, the state raised the soldiers, divided the land, and the scholars cultivated with their subordinates, but did not cultivate themselves, and it was Lu who was enough to cultivate on their behalf, practice martial arts, and assist the princes."
"In the past, the sergeant rode in a car, and one enemy was hundred, so there was no soldier and no army."
"But now, you are to select the best warriors of Qin, Jin, Chu, and Qi, and let them fight in chariots, can they win over the righteous division composed of farmers and industrialists?"
"In the past, the state raised scholars, divided the land, and the scholars cultivated with their children, and did not cultivate themselves, but it was Lu who was able to cultivate on his behalf, and his father learned more and passed on to his son, so that the scholars could be literate and have a general history for generations."
"But now, the Sishang straw silk has been released, the paper is cheap, the printing is skilled, and the farmers and industrialists can learn to inherit the knowledge."
"So, in the past, scholars were able to assist the king, but what did they rely on the bloodline of their scholars? Or do you rely on their knowledge? ”
"Serving in the army, but from the perspective of a country's interests, the bloodline who was originally enough to cultivate for it is no longer necessary, it is a waste. There are so many scholars, but there are scholars who can raise 100,000 people, which is better than the shoemaker's background? ”
"When it comes to the grain and the country, the hundred workers, the merchants, and the industry, what kind of people of blood can win over the sages of Sishang?"
When the scholar heard this, his eyes cracked, and he roared angrily, "Are you here to slaughter the people of the world? Are you human beings and scholars unnecessary? Do you want all the people of the world to come and splatter their blood five steps to resist their humiliation? ”
Wei Rang laughed and said: "We want everyone in the world to become a scholar, the principle of virtue, everyone can be a scholar, not from blood." We just want to return to the essence of the soldiers, so that the scholars can be restored to the civil and military time to stabilize the country, instead of these silverfish people who are now in the position of vegetarian food! ”
"In the past, King Wen and Duke Zhou sealed the country, divided the princes of the world, and the princes divided the doctors, not to let them have a vegetarian meal, but to allow them to govern one side, so that the people can benefit and the industry prosper. This is the meaning of the princes and doctors back then. ”
"Today's doctors, in the name of doctors, embezzle land, accumulate wealth, and seek fame and profit, and have forgotten the meaning of doctors."
"In the future, there will be not only scholars, but also doctors. It's just that this scholar and doctor, the virtuous man lives there, and takes it as his responsibility to make the people benefit and the industry to prosper, which is the way to return to civil and military affairs. It's just that the fief has been canceled, and it has been granted a fortune, and it is no longer hereditary! ”
Wei Rang stared at the scholar, in fact, he almost scolded: "You are not for the glory of the scholar, you are just for the fiefdom of the scholar and the power of the subordinate disciples to cultivate their fields."
However, he did not scold, because scolding was meaningless.
The advent of gunpowder, the rise of infantry, and the dawn of cavalry made the original chariot warrior class lose the meaning of existence, and also made them unable to resist the resistance of the world's peasants and merchants.
The emergence of paper, printing, and cheap characters made the original scribe class lose the meaning of existence, so that young people who had received education in Sishang could beat these family scholars in terms of cultural level.
The reason why the Mo family has shrunk in Sishang for so long is also in its significance.
More advanced culture and more advanced knowledge have made it possible for the Mo family to no longer need people in the original aristocratic system, or even to cooperate with them, and if they dare to oppose it, they will be crushed, and there is no need to worry about no one becoming an official.
Otherwise, even if they win the world, it is still those nobles and sons of scholars who come to power, and they will not let go of everything they control easily, let alone take the initiative to implement the Mo family's policy of canceling the fiefdom - a single person may destroy itself for righteousness, but a class will not destroy itself.
The gentry class is the inheritor of the world's culture.
But Sishang has created another kind of culture, and spread it in a simpler and more convenient way, so as to destroy the original culture and shape a new culture.
Just as Zheyangzi said to Fei Jun before, the matter of Fei Guo should be turned into a "holy war", a struggle for the righteousness of the world, and a "holy war" that swept the world with old rules, old culture, old system and new rules, new culture, and new system, so that it is possible to win.
The moment when Fei Jun vetoed it was the moment when Zheyangzi decided to devote himself to Xinyi.
Now, the situation in Fei is difficult to change, but the princes of the world have not moved, let alone put down the disputes between each other, and unanimously extinguished the flames when they just rose, so today Wei Rang issued such a call in Fei country.
The reason why he can say, dare to speak, and say these things presumptuously today is because the Mohists infer that from a macro point of view, the material basis of the land of Sishang has changed, and everything in the old era can be overthrown, and there is no fear that no one will be a grassroots official - there are so many students from homesteaders, industrialists and businessmen in Sishang every year, they will wait in line for a new vacant seat, and if the old nobles and old scholars do not fall, how can they go up?
The reason why he can say, dare to say, and say these things recklessly today is because with the current situation today, the Mo family has already received accurate news. Chu has sent troops to Chen Cai, Wei has decided to support Zhao Gongzi, Zhongshan has raised troops to restore the country, Zhao civil strife has started, and the dispute between Qin's reform of the law and the old school is about to break out completely with Wu Qi's arrival in Qin.
