Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hundreds of Crops and Hundreds of Workers Are Not Villains (2)
In winter, I saw the green wheat grass, and I was already curious.
At this time, I saw that the horseshoe pits and tripping horse hemp ropes were arranged in an orderly manner, and my curiosity was even greater.
The disciples behind the bird slippery all came over and looked at those wheat colors in amazement.
Many of them set foot in the Central Plains for the first time, thinking that Chu was different from the Central Plains, and they suddenly felt eye-opening and asked one after another.
The king of Chu once regarded himself as a barbarian, but now he is vassalized with several countries, exterminates several concubines, and has the potential of Xiaoxi Zhou, so he has long ceased to call himself so.
But after all, it is not the Central Plains, and there are many things that are not as good as Wenhua, and this question is inherent.
Yu Huali thinks that he is knowledgeable, and he has followed Mo Zhai in Qilu Chuyue for thirty years, but he has never seen such a scene.
The ink man loves the world, and thinks that there is no constant cheapness, so he can't directly greet the child with a bow and sword, so he can only walk over to greet him and ask.
The boy immediately looked at him with alarm, but then asked something that made Bird Slipley laugh.
"Old man, is your bronze sword real?"
As he spoke, the boy raised his wooden sword and swung it a few times.
The bird slipped and unsheathed the bronze sword and flicked it.
His fingers were strong, and with just a flick, the long sword buzzed.
It was a good Yue Guo sword that made a tiger roar, and there was a slight chill on the sword, and I don't know how many people I had killed.
"Listen, it's true. Yours can't make a sound, right? Child, if you ask me a question and I answer it, then I will ask you a question and you should answer it. ”
The kid nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Shi said that one is equal to one, and the equivalent is exchanged, and it is mutually beneficial, as it should be." ”
When she heard what the boy said, she guessed that this person might be the cause of these winter wheat and horseshoe pits.
When I heard something equivalent and mutually beneficial, my head buzzed.
On the one hand, how can a village child understand these words?
On the other hand, he doesn't know how many times he has heard this kind of mutual benefit, since he rebelled against Confucianism and returned to Mexico thirty years ago, how can he not be shocked?
Even Meng Sheng on the side asked in a low voice, "Sir, is this...... This kid is also our ink maker? ”
Meng Sheng looked at the child, about thirteen or fourteen years old, not yet grown, and the hand holding the wooden sword had an extra finger.
This dress is obviously not the short brown that he deliberately wears like him, but it is clearly what he wears on weekdays, but he carries a short bow with a string behind him, which is not something that a child from such a family can have.
Hearing Meng Sheng's question, he completely forgot the question he wanted to ask before, shook his head and was about to ask, when the child suddenly said, "Old man, are you ink masters?" ”
Bird Slippery smiled, but didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you say that we are ink masters?" ”
The child pointed to Meng Sheng beside Yu Huali and said: "Brother Shi said that some people wear short brown because they can't afford to wear straight and curved skirts, and some people wear short brown because people in the world can't afford to wear straight and curved skirts, so they don't wear them themselves before people in the world can't afford to wear curved skirts." Some inkers are people who can afford to wear but don't. ”
Hearing such a sentence, Yu Huali clapped his hands and praised: "Good! Your brother is very good. ”
The ink master only said that he wanted to wear short brown, but only a few people understood why he wanted to wear short brown, and Yu Huali felt that even those disciples behind him might not be able to understand as this kid said.
Xin was even more curious about this young man named Shi, and said in his heart, Could it be that Mr. has accepted another disciple in Shangqiu?
This young man named Shi Shi is actually my classmate?
So he asked: "Then didn't your brother tell you how to tell who can't afford to wear it, and who can afford to wear it but doesn't wear it because people in the world can't afford it?" ”
The kid laughed, stretched out his finger and said, "Brother Shi said, just look at your nails." People who can't afford to wear it don't keep their nails, and their nails are full of mud, and they can't be washed clean. This little brother has his nails and is clean, but he wears a short brown, which he can obviously afford to wear but does not wear. This is our Mohist technique of reasoning, even though I am young, I understand it. ”
At a young age, he said that he was talking about the art of knowledge, and he couldn't help but get close to him when he heard that he and the disciples laughed.
The little child also let down his guard and said, "Brother Shi said, some people pretend to be rich, some people pretend to be expensive, some people pretend to be brave and some people pretend to be benevolent, but no one pretends to be ink. ”
"Yes, yes, no, no, the ink maker wants to jump in the sea of swords, and if you want to be buried in a non-happy festival, the ink loader is not good in the eyes of the world. In this way, then you are really ink masters? ”
Fowl Slippery looked down at the child, nodded solemnly, and said, "You're right, we are the Ink Masters." ”
When the child heard this, he put the wooden sword aside with a smile and said, "The ink in the world is a family, you must be thirsty when you travel far away, go drink some hot water and eat a bowl of paste." Otherwise, when Brother Shi comes back, he has to say that I can't. ”
Fowl was about to ask a question about suitability, when the boy heard that it seemed that this person named suitability had left.
The heart said that he had already gone to Shangqiu?
It is said that when they see Zilu, Ran You and others, they know how tall the person behind them is. Now in this village, community, and countryside, he can meet such a quick-thinking child with a strong answer, so what is the person standing behind him?
Thinking of this, he thought about going to Shangqiu earlier to meet this new disciple that Mr. had adopted.
Anyway, if the matter of winter wheat comes from that person's hand, just ask that person directly.
So he asked, "Did your brother go to Shangqiu?" ”
The child shook his head and said, "No, Brother Shi took a lot of people to Binshan to pull stones, and he has been there for a long time, not to Shangqiu." ”
"Pull stones? Didn't go to Shangqiu? What do you do by pulling stones? ”
The kid laughed and said, "You are also an ink master, why haven't you heard of "Promised Land"? Pulling stones is to make something that separates the skin of the wheat from the inner flour, so that the wheat tastes better than corn. Brother Shi said that after making it, it was like a snowflake-like color, and it didn't hurt at all when swallowed. In "Promised Land", it is said that it is called grinding. ”
Of course, I haven't heard anything of "Paradise", so I have the heart to ask more, but I feel that something is wrong.
"The ink man doesn't talk about food and clothing, why does he still have to eat and not get tired of being fine?"
He was born in Confucianism, and later rebelled against Confucianism, but some words still came out of his mouth.
The boy thought that Yu Huali was teaching him, just like when he was learning words in the evening on weekdays, and replied respectfully: "Brother Shi said that if everyone in the world has money that does not get tired of eating, then of course the ink man will not eat brown rice." It's the same as wearing short brown. Mr. Mo Zhai hopes that the princes and nobles will eat less and save a little, while Brother Shi is responsible for making more of the farmer's products eat better. When everyone in the world can eat wheat flour and rice, it will be a happy land. ”
When the bird slipped into the air, he couldn't help but clap his hands and say, "Well said! Well said! The world says that Zi Mozi likes to wear torn clothes, where is he willing to wear them? It's that most of the people in the world can't afford it! ”
The ink masters behind him also nodded one after another, feeling that the truths they had learned in the past were not as good as the understanding of this thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.
All thought: After all, this is the hometown of Yin Shang, and it is a disciple taught by Zi Mozi himself, which is really different.
Yu Huali already believed that this young man called Shi Shi must be a Mo man, and if these things could be taught clearly even to a child, I was afraid that in the eyes of Mr. would be no less than that of Gongshang.
But I heard that this person called Shi did not go to Shangqiu, but went to Binshan to pull stones, and when he saw that he was happy to hunt, he was itchy and wanted to know more.
Originally, I wanted to arrive in Shangqiu sooner, but now I was not in a hurry, and I was about to understand it well, so I said: "As you said, the ink in the world is a family, so I went to drink a bowl of water and eat a bowl of paste." ”
The child hummed, and was about to lead the way in front, and turned around and said: "You came just in time, a little pig choked to death when eating, Brother Shi said that after castrating the pig, it won't be fishy to eat, you just drink a bowl of soup." ”
When she heard this, she said that the child had mentioned this person many times, but unfortunately he couldn't see him today.
I also thought that Zi Mozi once said that the will of heaven is infinite, all things are connected, some people can't learn too much in a lifetime, and some people can draw inferences from each other after understanding the will of heaven.
At the beginning, Gongshang had received such an evaluation from Zi Mozi, saying that he had comprehended the origin of truth and affairs, so that he didn't need to read some more books.
