Shi did not lie, what he said was true, it is true that the centralization of the Mo family needs to be consulted by everyone, but once the result is agreed, it cannot be changed and goes all out, and it does not conflict with the idea of the Mohist centralization in the slightest.

At this time, in Pei County, the high-level Mo family was really discussing this matter.

However, unlike the shock and excitement of the people of Pei County when they got the news of the victory, the high-level Mo family leaders present were not too surprised by the result of this victory.

Before the decisive battle, Shi had already submitted a general idea for this big battle, and had already reported it to the Mojia Central Committee a few months ago.

The use of strategic intimidation to force the Vietnamese people to fight a decisive battle, until the final battle turned into a battle of encirclement and annihilation, this is known to everyone present.

Moreover, there are a lot of people in the Mo family who can defend the city, and although there are many who can fight in the field, they still know the new tactics of gunpowder weapons and stirrup cavalry to cooperate with each other, so the commander of this decisive battle will be him.

Although the result was not shocking, everyone was still excited to pass on the results of the sent.

Things that are too far away are the ones that need to be discussed.

And nearby, after this incident, the situation in Sishang has become unstoppable, and the Mo family will obtain land and population several times larger than the current two counties and one country.

The previous controversy over "fighting soldiers in the Central Plains" or "developing Sishang" also temporarily disappeared with this war.

Many of the comments on the letter of suggestion still need to be discussed and time.

But after these things had been agreed by the majority in principle, Mozi immediately issued several orders in his dual capacity as the principal of the township school and the giant son.

The township school in Pei County has always been the school introduction, and it is the vice-president, and the real nominal principal has always been Mozi.

With the issuance of these orders from Mozi, some travelers in Pei County received a strange invitation.

A few years ago, during the Battle of Shangqiu, the Mo family invited scholars from all over the world to come to Pei to study. With the spread of the books "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and the "Tang Wen" debated with Liezi, many travelers were extremely interested in the "strange" view of heaven and earth of the Mo family.

Just like the people who came to Pei County with Changsangjun, many people may not be interested in such things as benefiting the world, but they are interested in whether the earth under their feet is round, what the sun is, and whether there really exist a strange country like the one in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" outside the countries?

After they came to Peixian, they learned the Mojia script, read many books of the Mohist, and many people joined the Mohist and became Mo, but there were still some people who were not used to the extremely disciplined organizational model of the Mohist and did not join.

But they didn't leave, because Peixian is indeed different from other places in the world, and many new things can only be learned here.

After the Battle of Shangqiu, after these travelers came to Pei County, some ink writers did some surveys and registrations: Why did everyone come to Pei County? What do you want to learn? What are you most interested in?

With the household registration system under the jurisdiction of the Shang Mo family, the Mo family's residence of these people is also clear to everyone.

About 150 travelers received these strange invitations, and invited them to go to the Peixian Township School two days later, and Mozi invited them.

Everyone already knew the news that the Mo family Yishi had captured the king of Yue by breaking the Yue army in the water, but these things didn't seem to have anything to do with them.

In addition, these people also know that at this time, the Mo family is very busy, and the busyness for post-war things has just begun.

But at this time, they received Mozi's invitation, and more than 150 people couldn't help but be surprised.

Mozi is old, no longer accepts apprentices, and rarely meets and invites people alone, although these people have seen Mozi from afar, but few of them can really speak.

Not to mention Mozi's invitation, even if they are able to explain to them every few months, they will also feel very honored, not to mention that this time it was Mo Zhai, the principal of the township school, who invited them, and the Mo family's knowledge mostly starts with Zi Moziyan, and everyone thinks that Mo Zhai's knowledge is far better.

Two days later, 150 people gathered in the Peixian Township School, and none of them were absent.

The old Mozi met with them, and everyone gave them the gift of disciples, which was a respect for knowledge and respect for the elderly.

According to the custom of everyone, after each kneeling down, Mozi sat opposite the crowd in the company of several disciples.

These orders or invitations issued by Mozi were discussed with him a long time ago, so there was such a seemingly absurd scene: when the Mo family was busy with the affairs of Surabaya, the Mo family giant took half a day to meet with some travelers who were not Mo, which shows that the Mo family attaches great importance to this matter.

Mozi was all over the audience and asked: "You are invited to come today, and if you think that you must have read books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Tang Wen", you must be full of doubts and do not know whether it is true or false. There must be a lot of questions in your mind, right? ”

As soon as he asked like this, more than 100 people present suddenly felt that they were being tickled, and they couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Mo Zhai, is the earth under our feet really round? Shi once used the relationship between Cishi and Iron to explain why those people under our feet did not fall, but it is still difficult for us to understand. ”

"Mr. Mo Zhai, could it be that tens of thousands of miles away, there is really a country that has built a tower of fifty zhang? The shape is like gold, all made of stones? That country is the country of the Queen Mother of the West where Mu Tianzi traveled in the past? ”

"Mr. Mo Zhai, if the earth under my feet is round, I have been walking north, to the extreme north, I have not changed direction, but in the eyes of the rest of the people, I am going south. Could it be that the north and the south can also be transformed? ”

"Mr. Mo Zhai, could it be that tens of thousands of miles away, there are really some countries whose culture is no less than Zhuxia? Do they really have a truce of nations once every four years, while racing, wrestling? ”

"Mr. Mo Zhai, is there really a situation in the southern part of the Arctic where the sunrise does not set in March and the sunset does not rise in March?"

…………

One question after another was asked.

Some are real problems.

Some of them belong to the problem of "dialectic", such as the question of the north and the south, which actually involves the relativity of space, which Mozi can answer, and there are many people in the world who can answer it in addition to the Mohists, and the corpse and the column can actually answer this question from the dialectic.

What Mozi is concerned about, or hopes the world will pay attention to, is not these problems of dialectic, but those practical problems.

Mozi thought of the first thing he did after he first joined the Mo family and got out the paper: he drew many villains fighting with swords, turning over the paper, and those villains seemed to have survived.

At that time, Shi did not just say that it was similar to "shadow does not migrate", but said that "Tianzhi should take the test first, and the test and the argument are contradictory, and the test shall prevail".

Over the years, the Mohists have been practicing these words.

So Mozi waited for everyone to calm down, retold the story and said, "Many things will go against common sense. The eyes may even lie to themselves. On that day, if the paper can't be stopped and can't be flipped through by a single sheet, I'm afraid that many people will think that there are really two living villains in it, right? ”

Everyone nodded, and Mozi said again: "So, there are some things that need to be verified." ”

"Suitably, there is such a country thousands of miles away, because his master has been there. So, those countries are thousands of miles away, and if there are any, can't you go and see them? ”

It is appropriate to say that in the far north, the sunset and sunrise often take months, which is in line with the explanation of the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon in the "Tang Wen". If it is true, at least it proves that those explanations may be true, and that some of today's interpretations are necessarily wrong. ”

"This is what the Mohist dialectics can argue, there is only one kind of Tianzhi, so if there is a reason that does not conform to the 'Tianzhi', then this Tianzhi must be wrong. As for the combined, it can only be proved that it may be true, but until a second explanation is found that satisfies all the previous explanations, it is at least better than those that are necessarily wrong. That's right? ”

Those people all nodded, but some people heard something else, and said in their hearts, Could it be that the Mo family wants to organize them to verify this matter?

Although there were rumors when I came, there has been no movement for many years.

Now the power that can organize a verification of more than 100 people, in addition to those few princes, only the current Mo family has this ability.

Connections, prestige, and wealth are all indispensable, but how can the princes of various countries have such thoughts?

At this time, the world is not very peaceful, and these travelers who can travel and even come to Pei County separately are not proficient in swordsmanship. Because the people in the village community are not so good, the grassroots control of various countries is basically empty, and there are often things like robbing people and stealing goods.

But it's impossible for them to do it alone, but if there's an organization that can organize these people, even if it's still difficult, it doesn't necessarily mean it can't be done.

Mozi said again: "In a few days, the Mo family will send envoys to Wei, Zhao, Yan and other places. This time, I invite you to come here to take advantage of this opportunity to let you follow and set off. At that time, in addition to the matter of Surabaya, the envoy will also persuade the kings of various countries to send three or five people to follow, and with the joint efforts of Zhuxia, the Mo family will pay to verify the matter. ”

"You want to know, and I want to know, after all, a person's words need to be verified. Since it exists, let's go and see if it's true! ”

"If you are willing, the Mo family will subsidize your horses, money, food, and muskets. And you will be trained in how to use muskets and how to ride horses. ”

"When the time comes, there will be two teams."

"A team followed the envoys to the Yan Kingdom, twenty of you and ten of the Mo family, all the way to the north, through Korea, Su Shen, until the north. They will carry cotton clothes from cotton wool and various foods to verify one thing: in the far north, the days are extremely long in summer and short in winter. Even, if you have the spare strength to continue north, can you really see the sun that never sets? ”

"The other team, you will send out 130 people, and the Mo family will send 80 people, led by people who are good at fighting and arguing. Among the eighty were healers, stonemasons, coppersmiths, boatmen, and so on, and if there really was such a kingdom, they could also learn something. ”

"This team passed through Wei to Qin, and from Qin to the west, to see if there was such a country in the extreme west. It is limited to three years, and if there is no news in three years, you can return. If there is, then you decide to continue to the west after three years, or you can return to the finishing route, and our Mo family will send someone to it. ”

"The horses, money, gold and silver, or goods that could be exchanged along the way were all provided by the Mo family. If you will, then prepare now. ”

"At most, on the tenth day, my Mo family will send envoys to the countries to tell the story of the non-attack on Surabaya, and I think it will be decided today. Let me first explain that on the way to the far west, there are thousands of mountains covered with snow, thousands of miles of yellow sand with unbearable hunger and thirst, and barbarian tribes who intercept and kill property, so you can only decide for yourself. If you want to, that's the best. If you don't want to, my Mo family will also send someone there. ”

"In the eyes of the Mo family, Tianzhi is a treasure, and the world is 80,000 miles, and these money are still willing to be paid, and these pains and dangers are also willing to be borne."
