Chapter 314: Confession (1)
That day was a great day for the confession.
Before dawn in the morning, the confessor woke up.
The young wife, who was a teacher at the Peiyi Martyrs' Primary School, was dissatisfied with the fact that the quilt had been snatched away by him, and muttered in her sleep and rolled over.
The confessor got dressed, took out his "ink card" from the drawer of the table next to him, and looked at the number 904 on it, feeling inexplicable.
Soon after the invention of papermaking, the Mohists began to purchase certificates for the official inkers, numbered according to the time of joining.
The earliest batch had no year, only numbering, and that group of people was called the Old Ink Insider, and then the later ones needed to be numbered by year, so as not to be too big.
Ninety-four is to say that the confession began with Mozi founding the Mo family, including those who had died in the great cause of benefiting the world before the certificate was made, a total of 904 people joined the Mo family.
Judging from the numbers alone, the ranking of the proclamator is higher than suitable, and it is 1,137 when the certificate is properly first formulated.
In fact, when the certificate was made at that time, half of the first 1,000 people had already died or died, and the confession was really considered an old seniority.
Up to now, there are not many so-called "old ink scholars" left, and Xuazi finally climbed into the post of a member of the Central Committee of the Mo family, and there are many young people with the year on the ink card alongside him.
People change.
At the beginning, the confession was very clear about the reason why he joined the Mo family.
Because of Mozi's reputation, the Mohist family's reputation everywhere, and the relationship between the monarchs of various countries, all made this the easiest way for the Mozi to become a prowess.
At that time, it was impossible to be recommended by no one. At that time, the Mo family could use the relationship in all aspects to recommend people to become officials, and even become the secretary of a small country such as the defense of the country.
It's just that at that time, even if he was an official, most of the money he obtained needed to be paid to the organization, and when he was an official in the Chu State, in addition to leaving basic expenses, he brought all the gold back to the organization, which was the organizational discipline that existed before the reorganization of Shangqiu, and it was also an important source of funds for the maintenance of the Mohist academic group - otherwise Mozi would have to take his disciples to work, repair cars, and make wheels to sell money for a living.
More than 20 years have passed, and I can't help but sigh when I think of those days.
He knew that he didn't care about those things at all, he wanted to display his ambitions and give full play to his talents, which was a kind of power that transcended the pursuit of a higher level for the sake of him.
At that time, he was in his prime, and he often said that he wanted to become a leader, and his classmates, now called comrades, mocked him all day long, and gave Mozi a small report, saying that the sue had no heart to benefit the world, and this person was a speculator as a whole, and he joined the Mo family just to become a leader, so he had no heart to benefit the world, and he was expelled.
At that time, the confession was still a thorn, and some of Zimozi's words were unreasonable, and some were not benevolent at all. The classmates went to make a small report again, and Mozi said that this person can say that my words are not benevolent, so my nature is not bad, but there are some mistakes in understanding, and I can still educate it.
After some education, Gaozi felt that if he wanted to become a scholar, he had to be a person who looked like he was interested in Tianxiafen...... However, at a young age, this change in practice was still a bit too formalistic.
Xuzi felt that he could, so he took the initiative to go to see Mozi again, and said Mr., you see that I have talent, and now I am also interested in the world, you quickly recommend me to be a scholar? You see that we have a relationship in Chu State, Wei State, Yue State, Qi State, and Song State, whether I can be out of office is not a matter of your words?
Mozi just said that you are a person, your own contradictions have not been resolved, how can you solve the contradictions in the world? You keep studying, and when I think you can get out, I'll let you go.
Soon after this incident, Shi joined the Mo family from Shangqiu, and then experienced the defection of Shengqiu, who denounced Shengqiu at the Shangqiu reorganization meeting as "using the bones of many Mo people who sacrificed for the benefit of the world as a ladder to climb up".
At that time, the first was that he really respected Mozi, the second was too harsh, and the third was that he felt that Shengqiu's idea was too far away, and the ghost knew if Gongzi Lian could return to China?
So he continued to stay in the Mo family, and then he had a little disagreement with Shi, but at that time, Shi relied on "cute", "erudite", and "determined...... And most importantly, it greatly improved the financial situation of the Mo family and the average standard of living of the Mo family, which quickly became popular with many people, and the special status of the Mozi secretary made the confession decide not to provoke him.
Sishang Caochuang, the confession saw a trace of hesitation and hazy hope, why did he have to go to the princes? Isn't it the same with our own armed secession?
At that time, Gaozi didn't think too much, when it came to talent, he had it, but it was not too prominent in the Mo family, where there were many talents; When it comes to qualifications, it can't be compared with the core figures of the first batch of Mo families and the suitability who entered the inner circle because of the special identity of the secretary, and it can be regarded as calm.
Before Mozi died, when the Second Congress, Meng Sheng, Hu Feizi and a large number of people who were originally in charge of one side outside returned to Sishang, and these people were higher than Gaozi in terms of ability and prestige, plus at that time, more military forces were needed at the beginning of the grass, and Gaozi was not good at it, but he was still calm.
When the three major ones before the serious illness of the bird slippery, Sishang turned into a fast-paced development, from non-offensive to rich country, and a large number of students who were suitable for teaching poured into the cadre circle.
At that time, Shi was shouting "Shangxian" all day long, regardless of the old and the young, the noble and the low, and the talented, and promoted a large number of young cadres, and at that time, he was suitable as a deputy giant, in charge of personnel arrangements, and most of the young cadres grew up reading his books, and the confession took a look again...... It's also a dead heart in the decision-making circle.
Sure enough, after the bird fell seriously ill this time, he was elected as a member of the committee as he wished, but there was still a huge distance from the alternate Wuxiao, and the ranking was not very high.
As early as the three major years, Gaozi had already understood that it was impossible for him to get involved in the decision-making circle of the highest power, but instead he was a blessing in disguise, calmed down and studied carefully, which made him gradually become a solid theorist.
internal penalties for defection; The external environment was incompatible with what he was learning; The thriving development of Sishang has made Gaozi never have the heart to defect.
Within the Mo family, the confession is also not famous.
In terms of military affairs, he is not as good as those old ink scholars who have survived a hundred battles, nor as good as the young academics of the lineage; In terms of finance and economy, he is basically in charge of the appropriate descendants, and he really can't intervene and can't do it; On Theoretical ...... This is another problem.
In the early stage, he was a thoughtful person, and he was good at reading and not seeking to understand theoretical studies and dialectics, and at the beginning of the external debate, he was suitable to preside over the debate with Yang Zhu Liezi and others, and the new theoretical system has people of this school, and he can't compare with the old ink man like Fifty-four in the old system.
It wasn't until the three major ones that he finally understood the situation, and he decided to read books and study theories, which could be regarded as getting through, after all, he was talented, and he was also a figure who left a name in the thousands of years of history of the original Zhuxia...... Although they are all supporting roles and background boards, they are also the number one characters who can complain that Mozi is unkind and righteous, and argue with Mencius about human nature.
After reading the book for so long, I really believe in the theoretical system that revised Mozi, and can be regarded as a person who has changed from a speculator to a person whose original intention is speculation, but who has beliefs and ideals.
In the harsh environment of struggle, Gaozi may rebel, but the situation in Sishang is not harsh at all, but is in a kind of crushing the surrounding area, and Gaozi hopes that the Mo family will continue to win for whatever reason.
Although Gaozi understands that it is hopeless for him to enter the decision-making circle of the Mo family in this life, he still wants to do some big things, to be able to leave a name in history, and to let the world know that the Mo family still has such a person as Gaozi who should be impressed by the three days...... It's not just the one who was beaten up by his classmates and ridiculed for being unkind.
Today's debate with Confucian is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, because the three major ones had no hope of climbing up before, and Xuzi read a lot of books, and he already had the strength.
For today's debate, Confucius has studied many of the doctrines of Confucianism, and he is much clearer about the differences between the various factions than Shi, because Shizi has not much old stuff in his head, and he is a person who has grown up in the old era.
Twenty years with a flick of his fingers, the confession feels that it is really a blessing and a curse to rely on, and a blessing and misfortune are lurking, and after 20 years, he can finally show what he has learned in his heart, how can he not be excited?
Confucianism is still a prominent study, and Yang Zhu, the Mo family three-legged, Gaozi wants to take this opportunity to kill those Confucian students with their own lip and tongue sword without leaving a piece of armor, in the future, in the world, among the travelers, who does not know him Suezi?
Those in charge of finance, industry and commerce, military, and scientific research in Sishang have a great reputation and a very high ranking in the Sishang system, but looking at the world, who knows them?
Swings and roundabouts.
Gaozi felt that he had lost something in the Mo family, but he could gain a lot in the world.
Now the opportunity is in front of me, and I am really ambitious and ambitious.
Brushing his teeth and washing his face, dressing and eating, he was in good spirits.
When he went out, the carriage was already waiting for him, and the guards and the secretary of the clerk followed him into the car, and the secretary said: "Our people have already gone there first, and the garrison has also begun to arrange guards and arrange order." Go now? ”
The venue of this debate is in the central square area of Peiyi, where Sishang is the place where street speeches, art performances, and people's meetings are held.
Gaozi got up and stood in the car, suddenly excited.
"Don't go yet. Go out of the city and take a turn, the spring is good, and the car is running wildly. Zhongni has passed away, the virtuous disciples have all died, and now there is only a young Confucian student, why worry about it? ”
