Chapter 33 Ghosts and Gods Are Born Without Punishment
Seeing Mozi seeing things and thinking about people, he said the regret of being old and unheard of people, and sighed at the age of Mr., and couldn't help but feel sad.
How did he know that Mozi had a regret of old age half a year ago, and after the disciple questioned the matter of ghosts and gods after that illness, he understood that he had to integrate the ghosts of Tianzhi Ming with the love of the world and the non-attack of the world before he died.
But time is getting less and less, and he has to deal with these things of the Mo family personally, which is really a bit inadequate.
Yu Huali didn't know this, and said in his heart that since Mr. meant to accept the person who was called Shi Shi as a disciple, he talked about it again.
Mozi shook his head and said, "This matter is not urgent. According to what you said, this Shi is also a person with a tough mind, didn't it take you years to hesitate when you rebelled against Confucianism and returned to Mo? This person, even if Zhongni is resurrected, I'm afraid it will take a few years to make him change his mind. ”
"There is a lot of importance, and the first major thing at this time is that after the rebellion of the Gongsun Association of the Qi Kingdom, a group of ink scholars could not distinguish between the great and the small, and the matter of being corrupted by the good and the good. After finishing these things first, I went to his house in my free time and asked him about his usual life, and his family always knew him best. ”
Fowl Slippery asked, "Sir, didn't you say very clearly about the victory before?" ”
Mozi smiled bitterly: "That Shengqiu asked me yesterday, I think I am reasonable, and I don't know that I have heard some of Yang Zhu's knowledge under Xiang Ziniu, and I have a good word. ”
He said that he relied on his ability to get a fortune, could it be that those who don't write ink should eat coarse rice and wear short brown? If so, he'd rather not be this inker. He also said that although his skills were taught by me, I was not qualified to control his choices, and everyone should be their own masters, even if the ink master should not be the master of the giant. ”
"That's not just him, many people think so. It's a matter of learning, but you still have to wear short brown and eat corn, how many people are willing? ”
Yu Huali didn't understand why this matter had developed to such a point, but Mozi knew it in his heart.
In the years before this, even if Shengqiu was recalled and deprived of his power as an official, the disciples did not have any complaints.
But after Mozi's illness last year, things finally got out of control.
Many people just want to do the righteousness of the world, and some people do the righteousness of the world because they believe that the ghosts and gods like this.
These two may seem the same, but they are completely different.
Before Mozi's illness last year, there was no difference between the two kinds of people.
Those who truly do righteousness are practicing righteousness and abiding by the righteousness of the Mohists; I learned the ability but believed that I did it because the ghosts and gods liked it, and they were also doing righteousness, and because the ghosts and gods liked it, they obeyed the righteousness of the Mo family.
After getting sick, many people have been convinced that ghosts and gods may not exist at all, otherwise if ghosts are discussed, who in the world can compare to Zi Mozi's sincerity?
Since Mozi didn't have the protection of ghosts and gods, then who would believe that ghosts and gods like to do this? Since ghosts and gods can't be sheltered, why do you still have to abide by the righteousness of the Mo family?
Mozi understood the root of the matter, so he was anxious to straighten out his reasoning and integrate it, wanting to plug this loophole.
He was unaware of the collapse of faith caused by this incident, so he thought that fitting it was just as important as the upcoming Ink Maker Conference.
"Sir, I'm thinking that this person is the opposite of Shengqiu. has skills, but does not use it in exchange for rich money, even if he is not a Mo person, he still practices the righteousness of the Mo family; And a person like Shengqiu, who is in the Mo family, does not abide by the righteousness of the Mo family. Isn't that an opportunity? Let this person disgrace those people! ”
Mozi thought to himself, it seemed that Yu Huali was very satisfied with this suit, so he said: "Whether this person is true or false, we still need to check again." is not in a hurry, but he can say that he is not a Mo person but still adheres to the righteousness of the Mo family. Wait for the things here to be straightened out, and then deal with the appropriate things. ”
The bird replied, "The disciple knows." ”
…………
Shi, who was far away in Binshan to make stones, did not know that Mozi had returned to the Song Kingdom, and did not know that the disguise of his ink artist was about to be exposed.
At this time, he was driving an ox cart with several men from the village community, and the cart was pulling several stones that could be used as grinding discs.
The tools you buy with the gold you win, and the stones you make for grinding discs are easy to get.
Large stones, draw ink lines, and make wedge holes. Take a chisel and knock a hole in it, stuff it into the wood and use water to rise, and it will naturally crack neatly.
If there is an iron tool, it does not even need a wooden wedge to swell, and the hand is slightly accurate, and the stone can be broken in unison with only seventeen or eighteen holes.
The section is neat, and it doesn't even need to be deliberately polished. Of course, the grooves on the stone mill used to drive the wheat flour out still have to be carefully carved.
Shangqiu is located in Henan, although the Yellow River has not been diverted at this time, but the land is fertile and fertile. Since the soil was abundant, it was difficult to find suitable stones, so I had to come so far to pull a few pieces back.
Normally, winter is the time for military exercises, and the degree of autonomy of the village community at this time is very high, and the feudal obligations need to be fulfilled, so it must be practiced.
It's just that the Song State doesn't want to rise, and the Song Duke is forced to hang himself by the vassals, and the civil turmoil is terrible.
The outside is sandwiched between Qi, Chu, and Sanjin, it's okay if you don't rise, but if you rise, you will die, and there is no chance to break the situation at all, so you can only go to the Jin Dynasty and Chu to mess around.
Rather than using military force to arouse the vigilance of other countries, it is better to act as harmless to humans and animals, and only seek to become a weight for all countries to compete for hegemony, and the north and the south are dependent.
Winter martial arts exercises are rarely organized, so there is an opportunity to organize people to hit stones.
This trip to pull stones is also to investigate the population density at this time.
After more than half a year of accumulation in the village community, as well as this trip to pull stones, he became more and more convinced that his judgment was correct.
There are few people and a lot of land, so there is no need to engage in intensive farming, and the main contradiction is not at all that the bottom cannot survive due to land annexation.
At this time, what we need to do is four words: do our best to the land, and definitely not land reform, and it will not be possible to get the main contradiction wrong.
At this time, the land in the hands of a farmer in a well-field village was about the same as the land of a small landowner after the population explosion.
The 100 acres of land in the well field is a kind of "people do their best" under the condition of backward tools, and no matter how much they can't plant.
The yield does not need to be too high, one acre of land can produce one hundred and twenty catties, if Kyushu is unified, coupled with the use of these seeds and annealing pig iron tools, it is easy to create a prosperous world.
Therefore, it is appropriate to give those seeds strange names, just to deceive an advocacy of such an evaluation as "Kangqian Prosperous Age" - "Prosperous Age" does not originate from the ruler Shengming Jun, but from new crops and technologies, and the name is made up that the ink man created the prosperous age.
He is skillful and thoughtful in this kind of greedy for the best of the world and the place.
At this time, if you want to succeed, you still have to follow the path that Mozi once walked.
The grassroots officials who rely on paper and knowledge to monopolize a certain country are good at borrowing the contradiction between the aristocracy and the monarch, so that the monarch thinks that the ink is a sword in his hand, but the ink artist also uses the power of the monarch to survive in the early stage, and stabs back when necessary.
A situation of balance of power was formed: the sole husband of the monarch, the nobles and the feudal monarchs, the officials at the grassroots level, and the autonomous village communities at the bottom.
The monarch wants to centralize power, the first enemy is the aristocracy, and against the aristocracy, it is necessary to rely on the power of the bottom, and to use the power of the bottom, a large number of grassroots officials are needed, and the grassroots officials and nobles are mortal enemies but also absolutely do not like absolute royal power.
Once iron ox farming and new farming techniques were popularized, the power of the aristocracy would grow faster, and they had land, cattle, horses, and capital in their hands, and they would develop several times faster than the bottom.
If the king wants to fight, he can only increase his own power, and the power of the king can only come from the bottom, so the king at the bottom who fights against the nobility must also let them grow.
Once the bottom grows up, there is money but no power, talent and no blood, and it is not for anyone to control it.
This kind of three-way balanced seesaw can have a lot of room for movement if played well.
Politics is a continuation of the material base, so it is necessary to create a group of capable but powerless classes in order to maintain this balance.
The agricultural revolution was the basis for the exchange economy and the great development of handicrafts, and the development of handicrafts could also make the emergence of a small-scale peasant economy without doing its best.
When there are 200 acres of land, iron tools, and ploughing cattle in their hands, no one wants to stay up late to spin yarn for their own use, it is too tiring.
When you only have two acres of land in your hand, if you don't spin yarn for your own use, the whole family will have no clothes to wear, which is very simple.
The template for learning from history is that there is no need for too detailed cultivation techniques, and everything is subject to the rough cultivation techniques of large plots.
This is a simple arithmetic problem, if intensive cultivation can yield 200 catties per mu, but the limit of each labor force is 20 acres of land; Instead of intensive cultivation to the extreme, the yield per mu is 120 catties, as long as each laborer can cultivate 34 acres of land, it can be flat. If it is higher than thirty-four acres, it can be surpassed.
Can a laborer own thirty-four acres of land at this time? Observing the vicinity of Shangqiu, I was convinced that if iron tools were used and developed, they would definitely be able to exceed this value.
Fewer people are more, that's the reality.
The sudden increase in production led to the low price of food inevitably led to the creation of a large number of people living in cities inhabited by craftsmen, and finally formed a delicate balance after chaos.
I don't know if the Legalists have made similar statistics, but he is sure that the Legalists' statement of "doing the best of the earth" is absolutely in line with the situation at this time, and it can be said that it grasps the main contradiction.
These people who came with him to pull stones did not lack strength, nor did they lack courage, nor did they lack the motivation to pursue a better life.
Shi believes that as long as they are given an iron plough, five or six families can share a cow, and these people can quickly reclaim a large piece of land.
Such a barren land, as long as you leave those big cities and the great plains that have been developed for hundreds of years, there is actually a lot more.
It's just that whether it's planting, measuring, teaching simple words, or going deep into the village community to spread technology and win trust by means of applying water, it takes a lot of people.
How can we ensure that these knowledgeable people are willing to go deep into these places? Are you willing to toss around in the village community for a long time like you disguised in order to win Mozi's trust?
He is a die-hard atheist, so he can't use the temptation that the spirits like, that the spirits bless, or even that if he dies, he can ascend to a place for nothing, and so on.
He has always believed in a sentence, believing that since ancient times, there have been people who have worked hard, people who work hard, people who ask for their lives for the people, and people who sacrifice their lives to seek the law...... Although it is equivalent to the so-called 'official history' of the genealogy of the emperors and generals, it often cannot hide their glory, which is the backbone of Zhuxia.
Such people abounded, and he felt that there was no need for an unknowable, personal God to guide and intimidate. The temptations of heaven, the pains of hell......
None of this is needed, and it's still alive and well.
If there is no God with personality in the world, there is no God's likes and dislikes, and there is no need to consider God's emotional and personal likes and dislikes.
The village community helps each other for mutual benefit, not for the likes of ghosts and gods.
He firmly believes that this can be done, and there will always be people who have the great rule of the world and shine with ideals to join in.
Therefore, he never talked about the punishment of demons and gods, hell and anything like that.
…………

"Since I didn't do it right, the ghosts and gods won't punish me, so what am I afraid of? Isn't it better to get rich than to farm? Even if what he said is right, it can't compare to those noble sons? It's okay, it's okay, if you say that the ghosts and gods won't punish, you won't ......"
In Shangqiu City, a farmer named Sangsheng in a village community kept muttering to himself, as if trying to convince himself.
Whenever he talks to himself like this, he has already been persuaded by himself in his heart, but he is just worried about the price of doing the next thing, so as to firmly believe in his choice.
In his hands, he held six corn kernels and two peanuts.
This was what he had quietly hidden after seeing the harvest with his own eyes.
After harvesting, the seeds of the crops were hidden by a few of the most trustworthy people, leaving only a few samples to show in the big house.
At the time of harvest, Sang Sheng had already planned what he was going to do now, in exchange for a wealth and reward.
So he pinched the seeds and wandered in front of Dai's dazzling courtyard, looking for an opportunity to offer treasure.
He thought that the ghosts and gods would not bring disaster anyway, so it would be stupid for anyone to be like the Ink Maker. I'm not stupid.
