The appropriate opposition is to directly oppose the giants.

But when he said that he objected, he didn't even look up at the laughing student who was copying there, and calmly recorded the words that Mozi had said before.

He had followed Shi Ji before, and had already seen many disputes within the Ink Maker.

Mozi is synonymous, but the internal controversy has never stopped, even when the time comes, there are often disciples who accuse Mozi of doing something wrong or saying it wrong, but most of them will eventually be convinced.

And since the reorganization of the ink artists in the autumn of the previous year, this kind of internal controversy has become even more common.

Last time, there was a debate about whether the wine shop and the like would benefit the world or harm the world in the future, and it was suitable to fight with the grandson.

But after the fight, it was settled, so I gave up those red-faced and red-eared people, and did what I had to do.

It is appropriate to speak now, and not to speak on purely theoretical issues of interest and harm, but to discuss the future path of the Moxican scholars.

Mozi waited for Xiao Sheng, who had not finished copying, and saw Xiao Sheng stop writing, before he said, "I know what you mean, but this can be tried, isn't it?" ”

Shi shook his head and said, "Trying can't benefit the world." Because the ink man is understaffed. ”

He used this topic to talk about the future of the Mozhi.

The meaning of Shi is very clear, if this is done, then the Mo who is an official in various countries will definitely rely on the power of the king.

The king and the nobles are both man-eating tigers, and now that the two tigers are fighting, what they should do is to profit from it, not to help one of the tigers, hoping that the tiger will listen to the helper.

Are tigers vegetarian? This obviously won't.

Therefore, the contradiction between the king and the nobility is real, but it cannot be exploited in this way.

Shi said: "If you want me to say, the number of ink people is insufficient, and it is still a little stretched to run Pei County according to the policy of ink people." If some more people are sent out to Wei and Chu, I am afraid that the number of people will be even smaller. ”

"If these people don't go to Wei Chu, they can do a lot of things."

"Measuring the land, digging canals, building iron-smelting workshops...... It takes people. ”

"Teach crops, teach literacy, and teach righteousness...... It also takes people. ”

"I still stick to what I said six months ago. Continue to practice righteousness in Pei County, take advantage of the opportunity of the struggle between Chu and Wei, and develop and grow. ”

"Teng, Xue, Ni, Fei, Zou, Pi and other countries are all small countries. Once Qi is weak, Yue moves, and Chu is defeated...... These places can easily be mastered by the ink man, and the righteousness of the ink man and the rules of the ink man will be implemented. ”

"The manpower needed in these places is still insufficient, so how can they go to Wei and Chu as officials on a large scale? Even if they say it nicely and agree, once they get stronger, they can tear up the agreement at any time. At that time, if the ink artist is still only in Pei County, don't say that there is no sword in the world, even if there is no sword for self-protection! ”

"Sir, you must know that when the Soldiers Alliance signed the treaty, it was not the Fourteen Kingdoms Doctors Covenant outside Shangqiu City that maintained the treaty, but the two injuries of Jin and Chu, and no one was powerless!"

"I still say the same thing, the sword of the world must be held in the hands of the ink man, and the ink man's sword cannot be faked by others, and it must become sharper and sharper."

"I am now a village school agent, and there are not many disciples who can teach. But if after five years, the first batch of disciples grows up, and more people can be taught. Fifteen years later, Peiguo Township School can train 5,000 to 10,000 people. ”

"There's a lot we can do when the opportunity comes."

"How many nobles are there in the Chu State? Counting the sergeant, is there 10,000? If the state of Chu can rely on less than 10,000 nobles to rule and raise unrighteous wars, then why can't 10,000 ink scholars replace them? ”

"Pei County has proven that it is possible to govern without feuds, nobles, ministers, doctors, and scholars, so why do we have to have those who don't need it at all?"

"When the time comes, do you still need to ask the King of Chu for permission? I believe in us, in the rules, in the will of heaven, more than in the promises and covenants of the princes and nobles. It's best if he agrees, and if he doesn't, force him to agree. ”

"If Wei and Chu really agree, Mr.'s method is not impossible. However, it should be made clear that all the ink masters who are officials must first obey the orders of the giant, and then they can obey the orders of the prince without disobeying the orders of the giant. Is this acceptable to Weiss and Xiongdang? ”

"Besides, it's good for the world...... Of course. But in order to benefit the world more in the future, the means to benefit the world must be initiated by the Mo. Whether it is to spread crops or improve tools, you can't do it as an official, but as a writer. This is the bottom line that must be adhered to, otherwise we are just feeding a tiger, and when the time comes, it will eat us all when we get stronger! ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Or, the Marquis of Wei and the King of Chu completely appoint your rules and worship you as the prime minister and Ling Yin, then it is not impossible." However, if the king of Chu was worried about the powerful nobles, wouldn't he be worried about the organized ink people? ”

This is the future plan that has been discussed internally, and when the bird slipped the arrow and shot Teng Shuyu, it was out of the general consideration of the original design.

It's just that at that time, it was only a rough outline, but now it is more detailed: that is, taking advantage of the contradictions between Jin and Chu and the weakening of Qi and Yue, to control the grassroots of those small countries from Peixian to the east. Use the cultural knowledge of the ink scholars, break the cultural monopoly of the aristocracy, and cultivate some disciples who can replace the old nobles at any time once they have the opportunity.

When the kingdom is weak, it is always attacked, and the king will hope that the people will be strong. However, the people's strength is often the starting point of change.

Under the feudal system, which country loses the most, and which country is most likely to break out in change.

Roughly decided, not only must the detailed rules be implemented, but also need to seize the opportunity to select a country, so that he will become weaker and weaker, and when he is so weak that if he does not change, he will die in the country, and he will regard the ink man as a life-saving straw, and he will not hesitate to drink to quench his thirst when the time comes.

However, once the wine is drunk, it is difficult to spit it out.

Now is not the time to force the king to quench his thirst, and there is no point in going at this time, but instead he will be caught in an endless struggle for power with the nobles, which will consume the power of the ink in vain, waste the ink manpower, and use those new technologies as a means of promotion by the king to reduce the reputation of the ink maker among the people.

Nowadays, every ink master is extremely precious, and if placed in the right place, it is like planting a seed in the ground, and in ten years you will reap a lot.

The Xuanyi Department is propagating in various big cities and juyi, which is sowing seeds; When the township school teaches students, it is also sowing; Even Pei County is governing, which is to sow seeds and plough the land, so that the seeds have a more suitable soil for growth.

It is suitable to be sure that the most important task of the ink scholars now is to make a fortune quietly, increase the number of ink scholars, and increase the number of people who have studied in the township schools in Pei, Teng, Xue and other places than the total number of nobles in a certain country, so that they are qualified to do something earth-shattering and benefit the world.

Otherwise, it would be pointless to rely on the power of the old aristocracy to govern.

For the future, for the real benefit of the world, we need to think for a long time.

After Shi's words were finished, Gongzaoye got up first and said, "I agree with Shi's opinion. I can't trust the princes and nobles. Even if it is not a righteous offense now, how can the king obey it when the king will be strong in the future? ”

Ji Chengzi also said: "Unless the king agrees to make a covenant like the law of the people of Pei County, what the king can do, what he cannot do, and what he does need to be agreed by everyone...... Otherwise, it's hard for me to watch. ”

Mozi stood up, walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, and was silent.

Shi looked at Mozi's appearance and whispered, "Sir...... You ......"

Before he could say anything, Mozi waved his hand and said, "I need to think again." ”

Shi stopped talking, and the crowd remained quiet.

Mozi walked around the room with his hands behind his back, stopping for a long time, but instead of talking about this topic, he suddenly asked, "Sui, you are not yet twenty this year." ”

It's not a question, it seems to be just a statement.

Shi didn't know how to answer, so he hummed for a long time.

Mozi stood in front of the window pasted with straw, turned his back to the group of inkers, and said, "Twenty...... How young. How nice would it be if I were twenty years old? This is an age that can be said to be ten years, twenty years, or even thirty years from now. ”

It was rare for the disciples to see Mr. showing such a gloomy mood, and they were at a loss for a while, and they didn't know how to persuade him.

After thinking about it for a long time, he said: "Sir, now that I have straw silk, the price is not as complicated as the bamboo slips." Your people are all equal ministers of heaven, your virtuous, your non-attack, your love, your frugality and burial...... It's like a weaned baby, it grows up slowly. They're younger. ”

Mozi laughed, sighed and said, "I, I'm not a saint, I have my own selfish desires. Since I was 20 years old, I have been looking forward to the stability of the world, the love of everyone, and the benefit of the world, this is my selfish desire, the selfish desire that I have always wanted. ”

"I just had some fame and some disciples at that time, and I followed me for three years without saying a word. I was young at the time, and I could wait three years, or even ten years, to see what the birds wanted. Three years later, I invited him to climb Mount Tai, drink at the top of Mount Tai, and pass on his skills of defending the city. ”

"Gong Shangguo followed me for a long time, let him go to Wuyue, and Zhu Gou was willing to hire me with a fief of five hundred miles. I want to live, if I am the doctor of this 500-mile fief, I will definitely make this place great and benefit the people in this 500-mile fief. But I didn't want to accept it, because I thought, 500 miles is too small, I want to benefit the world, I am in the prime of life, and I still have a lot of time. ”

"But now?"

"Back then, I could breathe with a sword and couldn't fight back, and now I have to hold on to the wall when I go to the toilet; Back then, I was just trying to say that the public loss class was not conducive to people, and I could spend three days making a wooden kite, but now I am afraid that I will miss too much business in three days; Back then, I rescued Song and said that Chu could sleep in the rain at will when he returned, but now I will be in pain because I don't make ham at night......"

"Ten years later, twenty years later...... Some of you can see it, but I really can't see it. Since I was twenty years old, I have been looking forward to the stability of the world, the love of the world, and the ...... of not attacking the virtuous."

"From the age of sixty, I knew that these forty years of righteousness have made me understand that it is impossible for princes and nobles to listen to all this."

"But when I was seventy years old, I saw Peixian Dazhi. I think that those things like rice, ox ploughing, composting, columbians, and iron smelting are spread all over the world, and the world no longer fights wars, that is the happy land, that is the great benefit of the world...... So when I was seventy years old, I saw all this right in front of me, and I forgot everything I had figured out when I was sixty...... I just hope that before I die, I can see the world as it comes. ”

He sighed bitterly, it was rare to show the mentality of an aging old man in front of his disciples, but after saying that he only hoped that the world would be like a flourish, he straightened his body again.

Looking at Shi, who was so young that he hadn't even grown his beard, and at the disciples who were either old or already crying there, he sighed, "As a giant, I agree with Shi's idea. As Mo Zhai, who is old and longs to see everything before he dies, I don't agree with Shi's opinion. ”

"But it is the giant who has the right to deny it, not Mo Zhai. Mo Zhai can die, but the giant is always there. Mo Zhai is a giant, but the giant is the public will condensed by the righteousness of the Heavenly Ink Maker. If the ink man does not die, the giant will always live. ”

He seemed to have made some difficult decision, and restrained the aging aura that had only occasionally been revealed before, and after the Seven Enlightenments had made a vote in favor of the suitable, Mozi said loudly: "In this way, I will invite the Wei envoy and the Chu envoy tomorrow." ”
