From Mozi's expression, he read a hint of relief, which he had seen before.

Just when he was young, he finally won the approval of Mozi for three years without saying anything, and when he climbed Mount Tai and drank together to teach the art of defending the city, Mozi once showed such a look, and at that time Mozi said that "there are successors to the Mo's learning to defend the city".

Compared with today's evaluation that the Mo family is no longer afraid of the world, it is still lower after all.

Bird slippery but not jealous, he has no wife and children like Mozi, he is also old, and all he thinks about is the inheritance of the Mo family.

Mozi sighed and said slowly: "I am over seventy, and you are old. In the past few years, I have felt weak and tight, and I will be buried in less than a few years. ”

The Mo family does not shy away from death, and after death, they ask for a thin burial, and they don't care about life and death.

After listening to Mozi's words, he also nodded and said, "I'm afraid my life will only be ten or eight years." How many people in the world can live past fifty? I'm 60 years old, and I'm already a long-lived person. ”

Mozi said leisurely: "I was worried about one thing. ”

After Chungni's death, Confucianism was divided into six, each of which believed to have inherited Chungni's teachings. I've always been worried that after you and I die, our Mo family will also suffer this catastrophe. ”

He had been worrying about it.

Confucianism and Mo's sworn enemy, although Mozi slandered and insulted Confucianism, he praised Zhongni a lot. After the death of a figure like Chungni, the disciples passed on their own legacies and recognized themselves as orthodox.

Zi Xia, Zi Zhang, Zi Si, Yan Hui, lacquer carving and so on their own inheritance of knowledge.

Now the Mo family has not yet been divided into three, each of which thinks it is orthodox and chooses a giant, so many things of the Mo family have not changed.

For example, among the six famous Confucian schools today, the Confucianism of the Qidiao clan and the Mo family are the closest, and the Confucianism of the Qidiao clan pursues "no expression of submission and obedience on the face, and no cowardice and evasion in the eyes; If you are wrong, you must avoid even your slaves; I did the right thing, and I dared to fight even against the princes."

Nowadays, many Confucian students of the lacquer carving clan have also come to Pei County to study, or want to join the Mo family, or cooperate with the Mo family as a traveler.

Mozi didn't know himself, after his own death, Yu Huali was too old, and then Meng Sheng was difficult to completely convince the public, coupled with Wu Qi's plan to fight back to the death, the Mo family was completely divided.

Even the Mohists who remained in the Song State had completely abandoned Mozi's doctrine of violent struggle of "attacking an unrighteous country and drumming the people into war", and developed into the most heterodox pure pacifists.

For example, Song Rongzi, the fourth generation of the Mo family, advocated "no struggle, no revenge, no shame, no humiliation".

In other words, don't fight at all, never take revenge, sit in prison without feeling ashamed and resentful, be bullied without feeling shame and shame, and create a better world with love and tolerance.

This is a school that completely contradicts Mozi's original intention, but it still became a prominent school at that time, and it was named after the Mohists.

Mozi did not know what his scholarship would be misinterpreted in the later period, but he felt the potential crisis of the Mohist family from the Confucianism that was already six points.

He looked at the bird and said solemnly: "We and Confucianism are all said to have been inherited from Yao Shunyu's lineage. Yao Shunyu's lineage is divided into Confucianism and Mo because of the ambiguity in their understanding of the truth. Just like the Confucian Six Points, it is an ambiguity in the understanding of Zhongni's morality. ”

In fact, how is there no ambiguity in the knowledge of the Mo family? Even if we want to pay attention to the synonym of the upper and lower nowadays, how many people can understand the connection between loving and not attacking and attacking an unrighteous country and loving oneself and others? ”

"Some people think that if they don't attack, they will lay down their arms and not fight, and some people will find out from what they have said that if they attack the unrighteous country and use the drum to make the people go to war, this is a disagreement."

"Some people think that love means not loving themselves and loving others, but some people know that I am talking about loving others as I love myself, so as to get the reward of others and get several times the love."

"Some people think that the synonym of centralization should be the dictatorship of the princes and nobles, but some people think that this synonym of centralization is to integrate the public will into one."

Mozi took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "These differences still exist among the ink scholars even now, don't they? ”

Where can the bird slippery not know? It's just that because Mozi is still there, he is still there, and the right to interpret is in the hands of Juzi, so it can't be said that Juzi himself doesn't know what he means.

But Yu Huali also knows that outside of the Mo family, everyone's understanding of the morality of the Mo family is gradually approaching the latter as Mozi just said.

Because Shi is in charge of the Xuanyi Department, the Mohist righteousness of external propaganda is interpreted according to the appropriate understanding.

So Fowl Slippery asked, "Sir, is it agreeing with the appropriate interpretation?" ”

Mozi shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't completely agree with his interpretation, but his interpretation is the interpretation that can best guarantee that the Mohists will not have the Confucian six-point situation." ”

With that, he took out a piece of paper, randomly dotted a lot of ink dots on the paper, and said, "These ink dots are like what I usually say." I know why I ordered these ink dots, and I know why they were there, but ...... Many people can't find the connection, and they have to look for the answer to anything they encounter in the ink spots. ”

"Will these ink dots of mine solve everything? No, we can't let future generations look for similar ones from these ink spots when they encounter things. ”

He lifted the pen and sketched a few times, connecting these ink dots together, and Yu Huali found that a few ink dots that seemed to be drawn randomly were a figure after being sketched, and the turns had their own rules.

Mozi said with a smile: "What I have done over the years is to form a system of these ink dots and find out the rules." So, according to his interpretation, there is no need to look at these ink dots, you can ......"

He picked up the pen and clicked on the outside again, and then connected it, not abruptly, but more perfect, and said: "You can guess for yourself where the next ink dot should be." ”

"The times are changing, the world is changing, and the future cannot only look for answers from the words of the past, nor can I list all the situations that the Mohists will encounter in the future. So this requires a system, a system that can guide what to do next within the scope of Mohist logic. ”

After thinking for a while, Mozi said: "The things of light and shadow that I have summarized are appropriately summarized as 'Small Aperture Imaging Principle' and 'Eight Methods of Optics'. ”

This is not something that Mozi is very proud of, but he usually studied it out of boredom and concluded that the plane mirror formed a symmetrical image of the same size, but it was reversed left and right. If two or more flat mirrors are illuminated in the opposite direction, repeated reflections will occur, resulting in an infinite number of images. The imaging of the concave mirror is to form a positive image within the "middle", which is large from the far from the "middle", small from the "middle", and as large as the object at the "middle"; Outside the "middle", it is an inverted image, near the "middle" is like a large, far "middle" is like a small. Convex mirrors only form a positive image, with large near mirrors and small far mirrors.

Mozi continued: "For example, if you give me a bronze mirror, I can know what kind of image it will be with many years of experience. However, the theory of light propagating in a straight line gives the reason why it is like this, and an imaging system is made. ”

"Then in the future, the mirrors that I have never seen, the mirrors that I have not said how to image, as long as they follow his system, they can get the correct results. I can't list all the mirrors in the world and tell future generations how to image them, but his system can ......"

Speaking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Mozi's mouth. When discussing the eight methods of optics with Shi, Shihua told Mozi that the "middle" is not the center of the concave and convex surface, but the focus, and gave the method of calculation and drawing.

Mozi didn't know that there was no one else in this world who could discuss issues such as the propagation of light in a straight line, the inability of shadows, the inseparability of time and space, and so on, except for him in the previous years.

He now talks about the system from the knowledge of the Mo family, and also talks about the eight methods of optics, just to convince the birds to slip one thing.

When Yu Huali heard this, she had already understood, and said solemnly: "What Mr. means is that if one day I am a giant and elect the next heir, I should vote for the second giant?" ”

Mozi nodded and said, "Yes." Because from the reorganization of the Shangqiu Daju Mojia a few years ago, the synonym between the upper and lower levels has changed to a centralized system of joint consultation, and the giant ...... It must be the person who can explain morality, and the giant must also have the right to interpret the 'righteousness of the Mohists'. ”

Nearly ten years ago, Mozi finally understood what had changed since that time.

After the change from the original Giant Righteousness to the current system of centralized resolution and discussion, Shi has become the most suitable person to serve as a Giant.

For nearly ten years, the right to interpret the morality of the Mo family has been in the hands of him, a previously inconspicuous secretary and head of the Xuanyi department, and the lower meaning of the Mo family must be his righteousness.

Otherwise, if he is not a giant, if a person with different opinions is a giant, the Mo family will inevitably split.

Looking at the bird slippery and nodding, Mozi said again: "He is a person who likes to be reasonable, and he is a person who thinks his reasoning is irrefutable. So, he's confident, so he's tolerant of people who disagree. The Mohists will maintain the same level under the system, and at the same time will have different factional ideas. This is important. ”

"And ......"

Mozi smiled and said slowly: "Moreover, according to the current rules and system, he has a great advantage. Therefore, if he becomes a giant, he will not break the rules of the Mo family, and he does not need to break the rules of the Mo family. ”

"But if he doesn't become a giant...... He will not hesitate to use some means to destroy the current system and rules of the Mo family, just for the benefit of the world as he wants. ”

Yu Huali suddenly said: "This is one of the reasons why it was appropriate to say that the commander wanted to settle the land at that time, and Mr. immediately agreed?" In this battle, he had already planned in advance, in fact, any ink artist could take Tengdi according to such a plan......"

Mozi laughed and said, "Exactly. The righteous teacher of the Mo family is not the private soldier of the brigade commander, nor is he a farmer of the fiefdom, and the command belongs to the Mo family giant. The Mo family giant is selected synonymously, and he has the greatest advantage, so he has the most advantage under the system, so he doesn't need to use his brain, so the greater his advantage, the less he will break the rules of the Mo family. Because he didn't need to, because the more he became more and more famous, the more it seemed to be tailor-made for him. ”

"Li, the Mo family can't stop thinking about the world, relying on Tianzhi."

"The Mohists want to do things for the benefit of the world, relying on internal rules and systems. The concentration of the upper and lower synonyms, the division of companies by the Mo, and the selection of the Mo family giants and the Seven Enlightenments are in charge of the righteous teachers without the need to personally lead the troops to make the soldiers surrender. As long as you can persevere, and then supplement it with the will of heaven, why worry about the disadvantage of the world? ”

"In order for this system to continue to become a habit, instead of being broken as soon as you and I die, how about helping him to seize power when he gets out of the rebellion of Zheng Jiu and the coup d'état of Song Shangqiu? It's not for him, it's for the rules and systems of the Mo family, with the rules and systems, we can do things together and benefit the world. ”
