Chapter 249: A New Strategy (1)
When another farce of Zen Rang in Linzi of Qi State was about to be staged, several people in the Shihe army left the army and rushed back to Sishang non-stop.
The information from the ink people in Linzi was accurate, the success of the coup d'Γ©tat of the Qi State was a foregone conclusion, Tian Wu fled without a trace, and the Qi State had no ability to resist.
All this made the Mo family finally breathe a sigh of relief, and began to deal with the problem that the Mo family has not had a real giant after the serious illness of the bird.
Actually, it doesn't matter.
Something is a foregone conclusion.
Importantly...... A new era is coming, and the beginning of this new era will have to face a series of major events related to the basic strategy of the Mohists for more than ten years, such as the alignment of peace talks, the new law on Sishang, and the alliance of princes.
The rules of the Mo family make it necessary for all the high-level leaders of the Mo family to return to discuss together.
As the strategists around Tian Yan thought, Tian Wu and the Mo family have no personal enmity, Tian Wu is not important, the important thing is that Tian Wu who slaughtered Wucheng must die in front of the world.
Therefore, the news that "Tian Wu hid in the palace and was arrested" from the fugitive Tian Wu and Qi State, whether true or not, proves that the general trend of the Qi-Mo War has been decided.
The only possible contingent of unexpected forces are now busy fighting, changing, and licking their wounds.
It's time to return to Sishang to discuss big things.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In a house somewhere in Sishang, the crooked and slanted bird who was seriously ill smiled hard at Shi Shi, and said in a slurred voice: "Don't forget the ambition of benefiting the world. β
Then he stopped talking, but nodded at the man next to him, who took out a thick letter that had been written down by the man next to him.
When he went out, he asked Qin Yuedao: "...... of Juzi's condition?"
Qin Yueren shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the end of the year." β
The two of them sighed in unison, they had both witnessed the death of those ancestors of the Mo family, after the death of Mo Zhai, the characters of the Mo family who followed Mozi back then left one by one, and the seven enlightenments under Shangqiu City back then, even if Wei Yue, who was squeezed down, there were only a few people left.
There are more and more new faces, comrades with one heart and one mind, Shi is not alone, but he is a little sad.
Life in Sishang is still like that, thriving, noisy, and the people in the market are in a hurry, showing vitality.
However, Mo Zhai's words before his death have always been pressed on Shi's heart, Mozi saw the beauty of the new era, and also saw the ugliness of the new era in the last month of his life, he once asked Shi if he could put an end to it, Shi deceived Mozi and said that he could jump to the final paradise in one step and sent Mozi away.
Few people knew about those words, and Shi also knew that he was lying to Mozi, who was seriously ill back then.
Now, the bird slippery is about to pass away again, the things that were dictated on the hospital bed before his death, he glanced at it hurriedly, the bird slippery is full of hope for the future, and does not talk about how the Mo family should develop and grow in the future, but focuses on the new suffering that did not exist when the feudal system was divided into feudalism in the new era.
There are many things in front of the Mo family, and the road is very long.
In the afternoon of the second day, more than 50 people from all over the Mo family who had been selected as Wuzhi and alternate Wusheng members gathered, and although there were still about a dozen Mo scholars who could not return, they could already hold a synonymous meeting.
The grandson who was seriously ill and presided over the daily work was no longer the host of this meeting, and his status determined that he must preside over it when he returned.
Among the more than 50 people, Shi saw the figure of Gaozi, although he was ranked low, but this person who was called by the comrades in the Mo Zhai era as "professing benevolence and righteousness and acting in benevolence and righteousness, and not being expelled" and was evaluated by Mozi as "wanting to be more prominent than doing righteousness, and his own contradictions have not been resolved and peace talks have resolved the contradictions in the world", which can be regarded as a microcosm of the Mo family today.
The group of rationalists who joined the Mo family before King Zhou An were old and dead, and a new group of people grew up, and many of them were speculative, which everyone knows.
The first battle after Mencius completed his studies was a question of debating "human nature", and he unilaterally declared the victory by means of stealing concepts.
Gaozi is talented, which has to be admitted, but the internal reputation of the Mo family is not very good, and he was also criticized by Mozi by name, but later because the Mo family gradually grew, he also "changed his face".
Regardless of the heart, it is always those old inkers who know the traces of the heart before the confession are gradually withering, and the confession is also in accordance with the rules of the Mo family, and now it has also been selected into the core outer layer of the Mo family.
The main reason why Gaozi was ostracized by the comrades within the Mo family was that he loved to be high-profile, and shouted the slogans of benefiting the world and benevolence and righteousness louder than anyone else, but it was not the case when he did it himself.
This can be changed, and it is better to say that it is better to benefit the world than to disagree with the world, plus his own talent, as for what he thinks in his heart, no one knows.
Now that he "knows that mistakes can improve Mo Dayan", according to the organizational procedures of the Mo family, Gaozi really can't find any fault over the years, and it's not good that Gaozi's political career was broken because of Mozi's evaluation back then.
There are some things that are not problematic at all to follow the rules, but there are too many things that are difficult to understand and difficult to deal with outside the rules.
In addition, Shi himself is not opposed to speculators entering, because there are too many people in this administrative system of the Mo family, and idealists alone really can't make up so many people.
These are all potential problems, the Mo family has gone too smoothly along the way, and there has not been a catastrophe that has allowed everyone to show their true colors.
In addition, more and more Sishang locals have become Mo scholars, and a gradually large force has been formed, so that the contradictions between the groups within the Mo family that used to "gather the world" and the groups that "Sishang is not attacking the country" also need to be resolved.
The contradiction between the development of industry and commerce and the peasants is also a problem, and it can even be regarded as a microcosm of the previous problem. The peasants were too conservative, and the benefits of the expansion of industry and commerce were not very tempting to them, because the Mo family was not awarded land for military merit, and the land reform had already been completed; Industry and commerce need a vast market and foreign conquest, expansion, and colonization, especially when the level of handicraft of the Mo family is better than that of the princes of the world.
The reward of military merit will stimulate the enthusiasm of the farmers, but the question is what to do after that? Got rid of the nobles, and then made a bunch of new military landlords? Moreover, Qin's military merit system is also semi-serfdom, and the land granted must be cultivated, otherwise a family of nine cannot hire someone to give him 10,000 acres of land, can he cultivate it?
This issue needs to be addressed.
The gray-haired grandson still stubbornly wears straw sandals and short brown, and the contradiction between the self-suffering extremists represented by him and the newly grown faction that believes that self-suffering should be properly enjoyed without self-suffering must also be resolved.
There is also a huge contradiction between the wandering class, which believes that the Mohist regime has been stabilized and regards the Mohist family as a place where they can become famous, and the spirit of "righteousness first, Lu first, and death for the benefit of the world" within the Mohists.
A few years before that, there was a big joke in Sishang that became a street joke.
Because before the Battle of Huangshui, the righteousness propagated by the Mohists was mainly "non-attacking", "stopping the war", "Shangxian", and "killing soldiers", coupled with the policy of the Mo family to serve without distinction between the noble and the lowly, so that many scholars came to Sishang with a rather subtle mentality after the end of the Battle of Lushui and the Mohist hegemony in Sishang.
The scholar class is considered the cultural class of this era, but the quality is uneven.
Naturally, there are capable people like Wu Qi, but there are also people who think they are superior to others.
And the Mohists are hindered by another problem - the culture of the Mohists is a fusion of Mo, Dao, Fa and those things that are known to the people and then start anew, which leads to an embarrassing problem - some scholars are actually not cultural people in the eyes of the Mohists.
When it comes to nine numbers, the study of nine numbers is in Sishang, which is known all over the world.
When it comes to crops, crops are the strongest, which is also known to the world.
When it comes to the Six Books, the characters and princes of Si Shangmo's family are different, and they are simplified and simplified, which is quite Qin-flavored, but different.
When it comes to ritual music, to put it mildly, the Mohists themselves used to be superstitious, and the means and objects of sacrifice were different from the mainstream of the times.
When it comes to morality, the righteousness of the Mohists is self-contained and self-improving.
This led to the fact that the Mo family could leave the nobility alone, because the Mo family did not need the nobility as officials of the ruling class.
However, it has also led to many people who think that they are unparalleled in their talents, and it is difficult to locate them accurately after arriving in Sishang.
And the mentality of some people who come to Sishang is really ridiculous.
For example, the joke a few years ago originated from the sigh of the two scholars in the wine shop after drinking.
First of all, a taxi who felt that he had a good talent and would be reused when he arrived in Sishang borrowed the strength of wine, and in front of the wine shop, he played his sword and sang "Clothes".
Zihui thinks of me, and the clothes are wading. If the son does not think about me, will there be no one else? The madness of the mad child!
Zihui thinks of me, and wades in clothes. If the son does not think about me, is there no other? The madness of the mad child!
This song is very emotional, but it is actually a song about a woman flirting with a man coquettishly.
Translated, it is:
If you really love me, come to me across the landscape. If you don't look for me, I'm going to run away with someone else, and some people are chasing me. You stupid fool.
Singing is a song, playing a sword and singing love, of course, it is not love.
Besides, if a woman is coquettish, it is very beautiful, but if a man is so coquettish, it will be a little disgusting, this is singing that he has talent, Sishang does not keep the master, and the master goes to vote for the princes.
After singing, a fellow taxi next to him also sang along.
However, he sang a little more tactfully than this partner, singing "You Mei".
There are plums, in fact, seven xi! Ask me to be a gentleman, and I will be lucky.
There are plums, in fact, there are three Xi! Ask me to be a gentleman, and I will be in the future.
There are plums, and it is a basket! Ask me to be a gentleman, and I will say it.
This is more euphemistic than the previous one, he didn't say such a straightforward thing as "I'm going to run away with someone else", but said that I am asking for marriage now, come and marry me......
After singing, it reached the ears of some ink writers.
Some ink writers laughed and said: "Lu Shengyi is also unusable, and it is not necessary." β
Let these two people study, but not study, thinking that their talents are enough to be officials, and they are known for their madness.
Then he was speechless when asked in public by several young military cadets, his face was ashamed, and he never entered the soil of Sishang again.
