In the capital of the Song Kingdom, there were already a lot of ink writers gathered from all over the country.

The Song people in the city did not think it was different, and the ink people saw a lot, so they were not surprised.

Mozi has been back for a few days, dressed exactly the same as more than half a year ago, but he is not in the mood to teach his disciples under the tree more than half a year ago.

The matter of victory, the matter of Xiang Ziniu, and the ink people of Qi who gave up their righteousness for the sake of Yulu...... All kinds of incidents made his heart heavy, and he also knew that this matter would trigger a new round of battles for hegemony in the Central Plains, and the Song State sandwiched in the middle would inevitably suffer disasters no matter how he chose.

Before the night was deep, he was looking at a few pieces of bamboo slips in the house, and the bird pushed the door in and called sir.

"You're just in time."

Mozi smiled and asked the bird to sit down.

Bird Slippery wanted to ask about the suitability, but when she heard that the gentleman said that he had come just in time, she did not speak.

Coming just in time means that Mozi has something to say.

"Li, in the battle of Liqiu, the Qi country will be defeated. The soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasty are not the ones that can be stopped by the Qi State. At this time, the Tian family was busy with infighting, and they had no intention of resisting, and the defeat was irreversible. ”

When I was learning Confucianism, there used to be words, and the words were cautious. After the traitor returned to Mozi, everyone called him by his name, and Mozi was Mr., so they called him directly.

Mozi sighed, shook his head with a bitter face, and said: "Song Gong was driven away by Sicheng back then, and he borrowed the power of the Chu people to restore his position, and he also wanted to borrow the power of the Chu people to suppress the six families. Yesterday I went to see Song Gong, and he said that Sanjin Sheng would go to Luoyi for Hajj; Chu Guoqiang went to Yingcheng for the Hajj, and when he traveled like this, the Song Kingdom was worry-free. ”

"Hey, I told him to prepare in advance, but he didn't listen, besides, the oath of the year is still there, and the affairs of the Song Kingdom are not up to the Duke of Song alone, but need to be decided by the three families of Dai, the emperor, and the prince."

"Li, do you remember the last time Chu attacked Song?"

Bird Slippery nodded and said, "Remember, I understand what Mr. means." Be prepared to be attacked, so that you may not be attacked. What made the king of Chu withdraw was not the tongue of the gentleman, but the three hundred ink warriors in the city who could fight with Chu and a large amount of grain prepared in advance. ”

Mozi smiled and nodded, the disciple who knew his mind best said what he wanted to say in one word.

The conquest is like this, and the basis for not being beaten is that you have the ability to fight others. This is a simple and strange corollary, but many monarchs do not think so.

"Jin and Chu since the battle of Chengpu, a hundred years of hegemony, a few years ago Jin civil strife six Qing contended, Chu is strong. Now that the three Jin Dynasty are working together, if the Song State goes to Luoyi for the Hajj, how can the Chu State be willing to rest? When the time comes, what should I do if I besiege Song again? ”

"There was a great hunger in the previous year, and the Duke of Song repaired the palace room in the last year, and there was not much food in the city. If there is not much food in stock, it will not last long, even if you want Sanjin to come to the rescue, where can you have time? ”

Hearing this, Yu Huali also sighed: "Yes, Mr. understands this kind of truth, but Mr. is unable to do it." In the great famine of the previous year, many people died of famine, but it is a pity that the black jade, sweet potato, ghost finger and other things did not appear earlier, if they appeared earlier, not to mention that they could overcome this famine, everyone could have more food in their hands, and they could also keep it longer. ”

When Mozi heard those strange words, he thought it was a kind of grain in the Chu country, and when he heard the poultry slippery words, he knew that it must be a thing that can prepare for the famine and save the famine, or a transliteration that has existed but has not been heard, or a certain crop in the Chu land.

He wasn't thinking about it, so he didn't ask much.

The prophecy of Chu is different from that of the Song State, when the Chu State ordered Yin to sleep with his own cousin, and the cousin gave birth to a baby and threw it into the field to cover up the ugliness, but the baby was raised by a tiger and gave it a strange name Gu Yusu.

The countries of the Central Plains are quite puzzled by this name, but it is actually very simple. The Chu people call the milk they feed Gu, and the tiger Yu, so this name is extremely strange.

But if it is translated, it is a child who grew up eating the milk of a tiger.

Mozi thought that it was another kind of story of Yu Su and Gu, and he was only slightly strange in his heart, so he thought about how to defend the city and how to negotiate with Moshi to prevent the recurrence of such things.

But he had heard Six Fingers talk about the new grains, and knew that it was a big deal, so he said, "That sweet potato and potato yield ten stones per mu." The Chu people will inevitably send troops slowly, and if there are enough seeds, they will rush to plant them. If the wheat can be harvested again, the grain may not be enough! ”

These words finally attracted Mozi's attention, he was well-informed, and knew that there was no grain in the world that could produce ten stones per mu, and ten stones per mu, that is, nearly more than 400 catties per mu, which was a number that even Mozi was shocked by in today's mu.

He immediately asked, "Where did you see this black jade, sweet potato, or something?" ”

Just one sentence, Yu Slippery was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. doesn't know?" ”

Mozi sighed: "Back then, when children debated, Zhong Ni said that the world's knowledge is endless, and that's exactly what happened. I've never heard the names of these kinds of grains. Especially that Mo Yu, is it still related to my Mo family? ”

After saying this, Yu Huali understood that that Shi was not a disciple of Mr. at all, and even whether he was an ink master or not was a matter that needed to be considered.

This person has done a lot of things there, and borrowed the name of the Mo family, could it be that he wants to do something unspeakable?

But when you think about the child's words, what is there to pretend to be in this ink man? The ink man has the will of heaven, the order of the giant, and the rules and regulations, as Mozi said, is it not, the rules. The one who pretends to be ink has to risk the consciousness of the giant to follow the fire at the behest of the giant, so don't pretend.

He couldn't make up his mind, so he recounted all the things he had heard during the day.

Mozi listened all the time, praising from time to time, occasionally clapping his hands for inspiration, and occasionally frowning as if he did not agree with some of the practices.

This story was so wonderful that he told it for a long time, until he had seen or heard about the wheat and the wooden seed spreader, and then asked, "Sir, this is not your disciple, and if he does this, will it be detrimental to my Mo family?" ”

Mozi has an excellent memory, and as soon as he said this, he thought of what happened more than half a year ago, the son of the shoemaker with beautiful eyebrows.

Fowl asked him if he recognized it, and Mozi smiled: "This kid...... I've really seen it, and I've praised him for being a jade carve. ”

Immediately retelling some of the remarks under the juniper tree, Mozi sighed: "At that time, I thought, how could he, the son of a shoemaker, know those things? Now it seems that I have lost my eyes. ”

The bird said again: "Mr. I don't know. That person did great things in the village community, and his name was passed down to several hills. More than 100 people listened to him preach what he said about the righteousness of the Mohists. Since Mr. didn't teach him, did he really realize the righteousness of the Mo family just by hearing about it? Or is he from another family and wants to be unfavorable to my Mo family? ”

I thought of the things that I heard to do, whether it was my mind or my actions, I could be called an ink person.

He asked again, "Sir, if this person is not ill-intentioned, is he considered an ink master?" ”

When Mozi heard this, he laughed and slowly told a story.

"If there is a thing, and its fur is fiery red, and its hooves are four and divided, and its head is horned, and its eyes are large, and it can pull a cart, and it is seven or eight feet high. if it is a female, she can give birth to calves with a bull; If it is male, it can be matched with a cow to give birth to calves. But some people say that this is a pig, so is he a pig or a cow? ”

Bird Slippery laughed, "It's a cow." ”

"If there is a herd of cattle, it is very strong, and it contains all the cattle of the world. And it came to pass, one day, that the herd said, Whatever is in the herd is an ox; Whoever is not there will not be an ox. Is it a cow to the herd that has the thing I have spoken of, but it is not in the herd? ”

Yu Huali frowned and thought about it, shook his head, and seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "What Mr. means, is he asking me, what is our Mo family a cow?" Or a herd? ”

Mozi stroked his palms and laughed: "You are the one who can best understand my truth." We are a herd, not a cow. If there is no herd of cattle, the tigers and wolves cannot resist it, and they cannot succeed in each direction. ”

"Is he an inker? No. Is he doing what the ink is supposed to do? Be. But at the end of the day, he's not an inker. ”

Yu Huali nodded, knowing that Mr. has always asked for a Mo family, a giant, a rule, a righteousness, and a view of right and wrong.

In this way, we can gather all righteousness into one righteousness, and still work together.

However, before that, it was absolutely impossible to do such a thing without the teachings of the Ink Practitioner, so whoever did it would be the Ink Practitioner.

But now this person who is called Shi Shi is an unprecedented situation, claiming to be the one who writes and does the righteousness of the one who does ink, but he is not the one who is ink.

Bird Slippery didn't know what to do for a while, Mozi smiled again: "According to the story just now, there are two kinds of cattle in the world. One is within the herd and one is outside the herd. It would be unwise for the cow not to drive out the horses that were mixed in with the herd, and not to pull the cattle from outside the herd into the herd! ”

"This is suitable, just the opposite of Shengxuan, and the opposite of those 'ink people' who only know the small righteousness and do not know the great righteousness. This person's entry into ink is of great benefit to my Mo family, and it is also very beneficial to the matter of recruiting you back this time. Is it to win? Or do you do it appropriately? This is the choice that all ink makers must make this time. ”

When she heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said that as long as the gentleman came forward to inquire in person, she could know if this person had bad intentions.

He thought about the things in the village community, and said with a smile: "I don't know if this person has bad intentions, but I know that this man is quite bold. ”

He once told the people in the village that when Mr. came back from Qi State, he would come to Mr. and ask Mr. to help make a carpentry tool, saying that he could plow 100 acres of land a day with cattle and horses...... If this is true, he is really not afraid that his disguised identity will be revealed. ”

Mozi was a person who was extremely fond of studying, and when he heard the woodworking tools, he was even more happy, so he hurriedly asked a few words, and the bird recounted the simple gadgets of hammering wheat seeds.

He was extremely intelligent, and after a little thought, he figured out the key, and clapped his hands and said: "It is good for people to be clever, but not conducive to people to be clumsy!" This thing, great goodness! This person, a coincidence! ”

After clapping his hands, he didn't know what he thought, the joy disappeared on his face, and what remained was the loneliness of some indescribable old people.

Mozi is old, but he rarely sighs that he is old, and he rarely makes such a lonely color, and he is very puzzled.

After a while, Mozi suddenly got up, sighed at Nanbian, and untied the belt around his waist.

Yu Huali knew that Mozi would not marry a word, let alone a woman who longed for him, and there was no flower like Zhong Ni seeing Nanzi, so this belt would naturally not be given by a woman.

"Decades ago, I went to Yingcheng to meet with the public loss class and argued about the attack on the Song Dynasty. I took off my belt as a wall and attacked each other, and in the end I won half the way over him. When I left, I gave him the belt, and he gave it to me. Now that the Si people are gone, and I am also old, when it comes to the exquisiteness of the wood at this time, no one can surpass me and the public loss class. ”

Mozi raised his belt and sighed: "I heard you say just now that kind of wooden tools that can be planted by one person for a hundred acres, I can't help but feel something. When I was young, I was aggressive and competitive, and I would respond to what I did in the class. What if he's still alive now, and I'm throwing in the towel? Working together with him, according to what Nashi said, to make all kinds of tools that conform to the will of heaven and save manpower, how many hungry people in the world can be relieved? How many hard-working people in the world can solve the difficulties? ”

"I once said to the public loss class that it is good for people to be clever, but not conducive to people to be clumsy. He thought so, and since then he has not made clever things such as wooden kites, thinking that if he is still alive, he will definitely make this thing the first proud work of his life! ”

Mozi slowly said the old things from decades ago, holding this belt, and found himself old for the first time.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm afraid that this thing will benefit the world, and it's too late to make it and benefit the world.
