Build a field in September, and harvest in October. Millet is heavy, and wheat is wheat. I am a farmer, my crops are the same, and I have entered the palace. Day in the grass, the night of the Suo, the house of the house, its beginning of the sowing of a hundred grains.

In the blink of an eye, it is August of the Yin calendar and September of the Zhou calendar.

The people in the village community have already begun to prepare for the reorganization of the yard in preparation for the harvest after a busy year.

After finishing their official business, they dare to deal with private affairs, and they need to harvest the grain in the public field before they can busy their own household affairs, otherwise they will be punished.

After the fish soup that night, the people in the village community drank the fish soup a few more times, and they were also instilled with more sayings such as Tianzhi and Tiangui.

It is appropriate to say that the cycle of all things in heaven and earth remains unchanged, so people have to when they eat food, but food does not grow well without. It's like digging a well, digging a well is a place to take out water, but a few feet without water is indispensable; Man grows grain for corn, but without leaves, there is no corn; Therefore, it is in line with the will of heaven to increase the yield of compost.

The people of the village community took advantage of the slack before August to dig a large public dung pit and dump the ashes of each family's plants and trees on it.

More than 20 families got together and bought eight piglets, and the children who followed the buttocks all day long had to cut the pigweed every evening and then cook it in a large clay pot for the sacrifice and feed the pigs.

The pigs are kept on top of the manure pit, and the pig manure and the like will be discharged into the pit, and there is a common hemp rope in front of the pit as toilet paper to rub back and forth to clean.

In mid-July, Shi returned to Shangqiu with a few fish, two hares, and carried firewood and grass for a few days.

The sister-in-law scolded him for not going home, but when she saw that he was tanned, she still made a delicious meal in distress. The elder brother didn't say anything, and quietly gave him more than a dozen copper coins when he left, but he didn't want to leave that his sister-in-law had wrapped two extra corn balls.

Mozi hadn't returned from Qi yet, and he didn't know what was going on there.

But the Song State has begun to fight internally, Song Gong was using the power of the Chu people to suppress the domestic powerful vassals, and now once the Three Jin Dynasty is strong, the domestic strong vassals will definitely take the opportunity to exert pressure, forcing Song Gong to participate in the three Jin Dynasty led by the Son of Heaven activities.

The siege of the Song Kingdom by Chu is inevitable. Song Gong was cornered by the civil strife of the vassals, if it weren't for the help of the people of Chu, this son would have been usurped, but now he wants to betray Chu and Jin, it is impossible for Chu not to be angry.

Moreover, the state of Chu is now aggressive, deep into the Central Plains, the advantage of the right wing is great, the left wing of the Qin state is still a friendly country for the time being, and the Great Wall and Bear's Ear Mountain in Pingdingshan, Zhumadian and other places to rely on, strategically is to defend the left and attack the right.

The Song State was an important support point for the Central Plains hegemony of the Chu State, and the abandonment of the Song State meant that the right flank was exposed.

Unless the state of Chu completely abandons the comprehensive strategic contraction of the Central Plains lands such as Yuguan and Daliang, the state of Song must be pro-Chu, and if it is not close, it will fight him.

And now Shangqiu is still happy, and no one has made the slightest preparation for this.

During the period when he returned to Shangqiu, a small-scale malaria occurred outside the village, and the reed flowers he taught learned the method of twisting artemisia annua juice with cold water, and spread those things while practicing medicine.

At this time, there is no alcohol and ether, and it cannot be extracted at low temperature, but the method of juicing is still somewhat useful.

to treat diseases and save people and other means as the main body; Rely on fish baskets, composting and other skills as auxiliaries; With the prophecy of "July of the Wind", which is adapted to be rewritten for a better life in the future, more and more people come to listen to the story, centered on the village community.

More and more people are participating in the monthly fish soup festival and the ritual of sharing food after the sacrifice, and the sense of ritual that can be created is growing rapidly in combination with the temptation of food.

The initial sense of ritual is very important, and the things that are suitable for talking are all words that are already there, but he has tampered with the meaning.

The means of connecting the feelings of the villagers and spreading ideas through rituals such as dinners are one of Mozi's methods.

"Ming Ghost" once said: Today, I am also sacrificial, not directly injected into the ravine and abandon it, the upper is to hand over the blessing of the ghost, and the lower is to gather the crowd with joy, and take the relatives in the township. If there are demons and gods, they will be eaten by my parents and brothers. Isn't this a good thing in the world?

What Mozi means is, whether there are ghosts or no ghosts, we engage in sacrifices, not to waste everything and throw it away. Instead, after the sacrifice is completed, everyone eats together, and when they eat, the Mo can promote the concept of the Mo family by the way.

If there are ghosts, even if they sacrifice to their ancestors; There are no ghosts, everyone eats and does not waste it, and it can also gather together and increase the organization of the village community. This is better than heavy burial, you have buried all the good things, it is better to take them out and let the living eat them.

Combined with the Shiwu system in the "Defending the City" chapter, Mozi's purpose of sacrificing in this way is obvious.

He didn't know how to make sacrifices for the Mohists, and the sacrifices were the job of Confucianism.

According to his own changes, it has become a nondescript appearance, and the worship before eating is nothing more than three things.

Heaven and earth, though merciless, give warm sun, thirst-quenching water, cultivated soil, and rain to moisten things.

The heavenly ghosts, although they are dead, give everything to the world. Along with the heavenly ghosts, there are also those who uphold the heavenly ghosts and know the will of the heavens. The Suiren clan who makes fire, the Fuxi Nuwa who allows people to multiply and defeat wild beasts, the Shennong who tastes grass, and the nest who builds houses......

Although the ancestors are dead, if they did not drink blood, slash and burn, they would not have had the opportunity to fight for the fifth paradise. They are the foundation of the house, the wall of the well for digging, and the first three bowls of rice to eat.

In the ghostly and ignorant countryside, a simple sense of ritual can allow more people to participate. At first, some people may just be attracted to this kind of gathering fish soup and the like, but gradually the ideas contained in this ritual will be more important than the ritual itself.

It is said that it is a sacrifice to ghosts, but in fact, it is just an ancestor of the ancestors of the blue wisps of the road to enlighten the mountains and forests.

More and more people are participating in this ritual, accompanied by Artemisia annua's treatment of malaria, which is similar to "applying water".

is also like this, suitable for this kind of careerist who talks about the righteousness of the world all day long but actually has a purpose; There were some small contradictions with people like Lu Hua and Six Fingers who really believed in doing the righteousness of the world, promoting the good and eliminating the bad, and not turning their heels.

Shi doesn't want to provoke those little nobles for the time being, and doesn't want to lead the contradiction out now, Mozi doesn't come back, he has no backing, in case of such a thing as Zhu Shaozhengmao, there is no place for him to cry.

Therefore, as far as possible, it should only be spread among the autonomous village communities, and do not enter the fiefdoms of the nobility to contact those people.

But Lu Hua asked rhetorically, aren't the people in those places people? Is it just going to give up on those people? If that is the case, how can it be called doing the righteousness of the world? Someone in that place is sick, and you can go and treat it, but you don't allow me to go, what is that?

Luhua, who has always trusted Shi, had a quarrel with Shi for the first time. The children who were educated by him all day long were also a little puzzled.

At dinner, Lu Hua ate a few bites with a cold face and was about to leave.

Wei persuaded: "He has his own plans for doing things, how can there be a mistake?" Just listen to it. ”

Lu Hua put the spoon down and snorted: "It was he who said all day long that everything makes sense, and the ink man should practice faithfulness." It was he who said all day long that in the future, we should choose saints, gather the will of the people, and all the laws must have a solution and a basis for action. It was he who said that he was the treasure of doing righteousness, and he also said this to me, to the children of Six Fingers, and to you. What's wrong with me? If there is a fault, he is also at fault! ”

Shi lowered his head and didn't speak, Lu Hua seemed to be leaving, but he was still standing there, deliberately poking Shi with words.

It is not easy to blend into the Mo family and be a careerist. It's really not easy, and the most difficult part is that if you decide that there is something to do good, eliminate evil, and do righteousness, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of you, you have to go, and if you don't go, you can't get ink.

Mixed into any of the other families, there is room for this kind of thing to turn around, but the Mo family has no room for turning around in this kind of thing.

This matter can't tell the truth that can convince these people, and the few people who are close to them who have been cultivated so easily will definitely have knots in their hearts that cannot be solved.

Shi said helplessly: "It's not that you haven't heard what I told you about Shao Zhengmao. ”

Lu Hua sneered: "You also told me about the unity of knowledge and action!" If you are a young man, if you are talking about the means of doing righteousness, if you know that you are going to be dismembered and exposed, don't you talk about it? One day you know what is right to do, but if you do it you will be killed, will you not do it? ”

"If there is really that day, I will die with you! You talk about Miss Qianjin and Seven Star Longyuan all day long, and you make us feel that it is right and good to be such a person. If you don't want us to do that, why do you tell us what's good and what's bad? ”

"If you don't want us to know what is good and what is bad, why should you make any rules and regulations in the future? When the time comes, if the king says it is good, it will be good, and if it is bad, it will be bad, and we don't need to know, just do it. But you let us know that that is not going to be a paradise! ”

With the simple view of right and wrong and courage in the early years of the Warring States period, as well as the righteousness and injustice that Shi talked about for half a year, Lu Hua spoke with anger and Shi for the first time.

Everyone has their own likes and hates.

The previous love was novelty, after the novelty was worship, after worship was the joy of concentricity, and after the novelty and worship receded, it was not as good as it could be, and this nameless fire was finally vented.

Although it is not hatred, it is already a little angry.

Shi is not the leader, he is just a guide, so he can be wrong, so he can be reprimanded, so he can be evaluated by fellow travelers whether he is doing right or wrong.

Shi never thought that Lu Hua had such a temper, and after thinking about it, he realized that what he did before was right, of course everything was fine. It's like a volcano, before it erupts, no one knows that there is magma underneath.

The slanting sun outside the door made Lu Hua shroud the shadow above Shi's head, making him more and more insignificant.

He has long said that he is Ye Gong Haolong, and now it seems to be the same.

He thought that he liked the publicity, unyielding, light life and death, and faithfulness of the Warring States period.

In fact, he realized that he just liked that there were such people in the world, so he didn't need to be like this.

Under the shadow of the figure, Shi clenched the spoon, looked at Luhua who seemed to be a little disappointed, thinking of those children who were eager to be a child like him who did the righteousness of the world, Shi smiled bitterly.

He thought that he had influenced others, but he forgot that Baisha was black with it in Nirvana, so why wasn't he influenced by these people?

If you are white, you have to pretend that you are an inker, and after the people around you turn black, will you be unaffected?

Besides, if Mozi came here in the future to ask and asked a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, it would be useless to toss so much.

If you want to gamble, you have to dare to gamble with your life, be careful.

laughed wildly, and said in my heart to fuck look ahead and backward, since you want to blend into the Mo family, you are afraid that you will be able to be seen by Mozi if you die?

This is a somewhat crazy era, in order to prove that he is brave enough to cut the meat on his legs with a knife, Meng Sheng, who wants to come to the Mo family, must also have such a personality charm, otherwise he will not be able to gather so many people.

In this regard, I am too far behind. Don't disguise from the inside out, only do the surface, I'm afraid it won't work.

Thinking of this, he got up leisurely, raised his hands at Luhua, who was angry or a little sad, and looked down on or even despised at all, made a big salute, bowed his head and said, "It's me who is wrong." ”

However, he didn't understand one thing.

If a person disguises himself from the inside out, and disguises it all his life until he dies, is he really it? Is it fake?
