Xu Miao asked first: "Do you think that the prince and general Xiangning have a kind of eight characters?" ”

Everyone thinks, of course, isn't this a copy of Shangxian? The Son of Heaven can still be elected, and the princes will be counted as a fart?

Xu Wan asked again: "If the system of the world remains unchanged, what does the prince and prince Xiangning mean?" ”

"It's nothing more than that you can be the Son of Heaven, I can be a prince, and he can be a nobleman. So, in this case, if the Mo family is just for this kind of princely general, what is the difference between it and those princes and nobles? ”

"Under the condition that the system remains unchanged, self-interest will harm others, and becoming a prince means that the interests of thousands of farmers are deprived by you, and your self-interest is to harm the interests of others."

"Because of this, it is said that self-interest is not altruism at this time, but self-interest under the happy land is altruism."

"So, can the princes and nobles take the initiative to change the system of the world, let go of all the wealth and power they have gained, and take the initiative to turn the world into a system of self-interest and altruism?"

If this question had been asked a few years earlier, although everyone would have answered no, they were afraid that they would inevitably feel that this might be propaganda, and maybe there were real gentlemen among the nobles.

However, after the meeting, the princes and nobles woke up almost everyone who still had illusions, and everyone laughed continuously when they faced this problem.

"They are like pots that stick to the pot when steaming rice, and they won't come down without shoveling hard."

"yes."

"They won't give up on their own."

Xu Miao smiled: "Yes, isn't the meaning of the existence of the ink maker very clear?" Because they will not give up their own interests under this system of self-interest to the detriment of others, it will take many people to be willing to sacrifice to pull them down and create a new world. ”

"It is precisely that the people are God, and the will of the people is the will of heaven. Zi Mozi once said that it is necessary to rely on the supervision of ghosts and gods to achieve the will of heaven, and if the people are the gods, then relying on the supervision of ghosts and gods is to rely on the people. ”

"The ink is not only the vanguard of the horse that maintains the will of heaven, but also the envoy of the ghosts and gods, or the messenger of the heavens. The people are the sky, and you and I are the angels, overcoming obstacles and thorns, and truly creating a world where the art of rational knowledge is launched, and mutual love, mutual benefit, and self-interest is altruism. ”

"Only by making the world profitable can everyone be profitable. Otherwise, the system will not change, the world will not change, and if some people gain, more people will lose. ”

"Princes and generals, naturally there is no planting. However, if the system of princes and princes exploiting the people of the world and supporting one person remains unchanged, we cannot be princes and generals. Zi Mozi said that the power given to the officials is to get things done, so the so-called princes and generals are originally just people who are hired by the people to get things done. ”

As for what the world should be like in the future, what kind of thing can make it possible to love oneself and love oneself and altruism objectively without subjective altruism...... This time, it was all said at the meeting. ”

"Before this goal is achieved, self-interest is to harm others, so we need a group of heavenly messengers who are not dedicated to benefiting others for themselves."

"After this goal is achieved, the ink artist will naturally not need to exist at that time. But now, it must exist. ”

Xu Qiao's words were all based on the content of this enlarged meeting of Sishang, at which many problems were resolved, the program was reformulated, and another obscure idea was expressed: once the world was determined to be one, the Mohists would change from the vanguard to the party of the whole people, negating all kinds of injustices that would appear in the new era after the abolition of feudal patriarchy, and seeing it as an era in which each person made a fortune and became rich by virtue of his ability to benefit himself is altruistic.

In other words, once the bourgeois enlightenment revolution was completed, the Mohists would not continue to move forward, but would affirm that everything in the new era was an eternal and universally applicable principle.

The future is pursued by future generations.

Before the unification of the world, the Mohists will mainly absorb idealists, strictly distinguish between the Mohists and the non-Mohists, and borrow the established general trend to form the final blow to the old era.

By the end of this enlarged meeting, it had been hidden in the Mohists for more than 20 years, and the foreshadowing and layout had been laid out for a long time in advance, and the comprehensive revision of the Mohist ideological system had finally been completed.

Mozi's talk of the equality of sovereign equality between countries in "non-offensive" is revised to be the equality of human beings by birth.

The righteousness and interests of Mozi were unified and revised into a class doctrine that opposed the privileges of the aristocracy.

Mozi's mutual love and mutual benefit were revised into the economic jurisprudence of the Enlightenment theory: subjective self-interest and objective altruism after the overthrow of feudalism.

In the new era, the ethical system of self-interest and innocence and justification of wealth will be popular, and taking risks and getting rich will be the greatest respect and respect for Tianzhi, which will be the new ethical subject after unification.

Mozi has been preserved as the budding doctrine of true freedom in the more distant future.

The use of Mozi was revised into the legal doctrine of power seizure under the Enlightenment doctrine that labor creates wealth and increases wealth.

Mozi's Ming ghosts and gods were corrected to become the gods and gods, so that the supervision of the people replaced the supervision of ghosts and gods, and the people were equal to ghosts and gods and equal to the emperor of heaven.

Modify Mozi's non-attack to a great unification, and the final solution to the non-attack is to have no attackers.

The emphasis of Mozi was revised to a kind of self-sacrificing spirit of the spiritual aristocracy and the sacredness of willing sacrifice, and the fanaticism of the petty bourgeoisie was borrowed as the main driving force for this great change in the world.

Mozi's love was revised into a subjective love based on self-love, and the principle of the unity of righteousness and benefit was borrowed, and the subjective love was the virtue, while the objective self-interest and altruism were the way.

The Shang Tong of Mozi, that is, the above is all and is not, is revised into a democratic and centralized system, and the "Shang" is virtualized into the overall will of the Mohists, and the "Juzi" is the executor of this overall will.

The Shang Xian of Mozi, with the help of the early "sage who gives three gifts, is not for the virtuous, but wants to do things" to revise the meaning of the existence of officials is to be a servant of the people, and it is a special profession to do things for the benefit of the people.

The synonym of Mozi is revised to the inevitability and necessity of writing the same book and the same track after the world is unified.

The Mohist Heavenly Aspirations were revised into rational and objective laws, integrated with the Taoism of Taoism, and converged into natural philosophy and enlightenment sociology.

The self-transformation of all things in Taoism is distorted into a moral lag under the general law of social development - that is, the morality of the old era is not in line with the new era, and if the self-transformation of all things can be achieved in hundreds of years, but it can rely on the rationality of the art of knowledge to shorten the time of self-transformation and set a new morality.

The fantasy of the peasant sage and the people farming and the city is not the same as the market is distorted into the utopian and petty bourgeoisie's utopian fantasy, and the attitude against this utopian fantasy is clearly expressed.

Some of these corrections were made in a righteous and bright manner when Mozi was still alive.

Some of them were done slowly after Mozi's death.

Some of them were difficult to understand at the time, and they were not said until after the development of industry and commerce in Sishang and the emergence of the commodity economy.

Some of them have laid out all the principles needed in advance, and they will be integrated after they really take power.

The reason why the unity of self-interest and altruism has not been completed until now is precisely because this principle did not make sense before.

After joining the Mohists, the overall revision idea is as follows: to benefit the world, it needs to be tightly organized, and after the organization, with the help of the contradictions in the world, the idea that labor creates wealth is propagated within Sishang, and the theory that the land is the only source of wealth and industry and commerce is only turning water into ice, the development of industry and commerce in Sishang, and the establishment of new laws and regulations can allow the people of the world to understand the principle of subjective self-interest and objective altruism with the industrial and commercial system of Sishang. It is unreasonable to introduce the system of the old era, and to come to a conclusion that if you want to love each other, benefit each other, and unify yourself and others, you must overturn the conclusion of the old world.

After going around in a circle, he finally returned to the six words of "love and mutual benefit" in the most essence of the Mohists, but the subjective "love and altruism" was changed into "objective altruism" and "subjective love", thus completing the revision of the Mohist doctrine, transforming it into a standard bourgeois enlightenment doctrine, and laying the foundation for the new ethics in the future - after the destruction of the feudal patriarchal system, the pursuit of profit is glorious, the wealth is justified, the big workshop owner is objectively altruistic, and labor and adventure to get rich are obedient to the will of heaven to benefit oneself and the people.

Let Zhuxia destroy all feudal, patriarchal and pastoral relations.

It is necessary to cut the feudal fetters of all kinds that bind people to natural superiority as quickly and ruthlessly as possible, so that there is no other connection between people except naked interests, except for the ruthless "trading of interests".

It is necessary to drown the sacred attacks of emotion, such as the morality of a gentleman and the enthusiasm of a scholar, in the icy waters of self-interest.

It is necessary to turn human dignity into exchange value, and to replace the innumerable concessions and self-earned freedoms with a freedom of trade without conscience.

Open, shameless, direct, and explicit exploitation should be replaced by exploitation that is concealed by the warmth of the patriarchal system and the concealment of political illusions.

It is necessary to let the big merchants, workshop owners, landowners, and who may degenerate in the future create a new world for themselves according to their own appearance and in the direction that is most beneficial to them, and incubate the new morals and ethics that this new world is compatible with.

It's just that in order to achieve this goal, a group of people with gentlemanly morality and scholarly enthusiasm are needed to self-sacrifice and change the world.

These last gentlemen and scholars, who possess morality, zeal, sacrifice, and altruism, either ...... Sacrifice before victory; Either they will change themselves in the future by drowning in the tide of egoism and profit trading.

Today's ink artists are still a group of subjective altruists, but the world they want to achieve is a nominally objective altruistic world. At least, before the new world has not released its full potential, this is the easiest choice, the road of true synonym and equality and love is too difficult to walk, suitable for that level, and convinced that he will inevitably fail, so he chose to compromise early.
