Qin Jun thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind, and said: "In the past, the Martial King was defeated, and if he didn't win, he would be destroyed. The same is true of today's affairs, if the middle strategy is taken, it is nothing more than the risk of delaying the destruction of the country for 20 years. The power of the Mo family is growing, and it is difficult to have civil strife, so we should not hope that the Mo family will make mistakes. ”

That being said, there are still great difficulties in doing so.

Now the Qin State can gather troops, go down the Danshui, and storm Danyang in business.

In this way, it can be close to the rear, the grain and grass can be easily transported, and more troops can be gathered.

But the premise of doing this is that you must first meet with the alliance to resolve the dispute over the Xihe, so that Zhou Tianzi can come forward to uphold the righteousness of respecting the law of humility and humility, and let Wei, Han and Zhao send troops together.

Otherwise, the Qin State fought with the Mo family in Danyang, but the Sanjin sent troops to recapture the West River, then everything the Qin State did was really to make a wedding dress for others. It's not that Wei Han can't do such a thing.

…………

Sishang, Pengcheng.

In the banquet hall, the high-ranking members of the Mo family and the captured nobles of the Chu State gathered together, with a wine banquet and no music and dance.

Everyone knelt on the ground, divided the meal and ate, the only case.

The good man of Chu had no color, but he was not afraid, he just drank sullenly, and the nobles next to him were also dull.

Suitable for the head, push the lamp remotely, take a sip slowly, and say leisurely: "More than twenty years ago, I went to Ying, when Zi Mozi was still there, and you were only in your infancy. ”

His words made the captured Chu monarchs and ministers a little dissatisfied, and it sounded like a tone of chatting with juniors from the perspective of their elders.

But he has this qualification.

The people of the previous generation basically died of old age, and there are really few people in this world.

Wei Si, Zhao Ji, Han Qian, Xiong Su, Mozi, Bird Slippery...... Many people have been old these years, but they did go to Yingdu more than 20 years ago, and they did have a face-to-face interview with the King of Chu.

But in these words, the Chu people faintly heard a trace of sarcasm.

Chu Guozuo Yin snorted and said: "This is a state banquet, not a hometown drink." The villagers are rude, so they respect their teeth; The nobles are courteous, and they are divided into kings and ministers. In the past, the Marquis of Yan sent Qi Huan, and Qi Huan sent Wucheng and Yan ...... on the grounds that he was not the king of the Son of Heaven and did not leave the country."

Only the rural untouchables who don't know the number of etiquette will choose whether to respect or not by age, and the nobles who really have the number of etiquette pay attention to blood.

Shi didn't bother to refute the other party's words, shook his head with a smile and said, "In the past, the Imperial Kou once talked about such a thing. ”

It is said that when the former Kong Zhongni visited Mount Tai, he met the ninety-year-old Rong Qi period. The old man was very happy to 'play the harp and sing'. ”

"Jonny asked, 'Why is the gentleman so happy?'

The old man replied, "There are many reasons why I am happy!" Born with all things, people are the most noble, I am fortunate to be born as a person, it is the first happy thing; People are divided into men and women, men are superior to women, and I am fortunate to be born as a man, which is the second pleasure; Some people die in infancy, but I have lived for more than 90 years, which is the third happy thing. ”

"Our Mo family does not talk about the inferiority of men and women. But we are convinced that all things are born with a human being, and that you have lived longer than many people now, and that you drink and have fun without gain, so why should you be unhappy? ”

He didn't expect the monarchs and ministers of Chu to say something like "I don't want to think about Jing Chu here", but wanted to take this opportunity to talk to them about something.

King Liangfu of Chu also sneered: "This is all the truth of the rebirth of the royal court, I never knew that the giant of the Mo family actually respected the study of the prince without desire. ”

"If there is no desire...... Hmph, before you went to Yingdu in the past, you were just the son of a shoemaker. There is a difference between the noble and the low, the respect and the lowly are orderly, and the son of a shoemaker can talk and laugh with his father, which is already a violation of the rules of etiquette. ”

"The chaos in the world is chaotic in the disorder of dignity and inferiority, which makes people ambitious. The son of a shoemaker can also be a prince, how can the world be determined? ”

Shi raised his head and laughed, and said after a long time: "The word ambition is the most rare." ”

"When I was a child, I studied with my second master, who once told such a story. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't know the truth of the world. ”

The two masters who didn't exist at all were the mysteries of the world, and as soon as he said this, even the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State who hated the death of the country looked at him and wanted to hear about it from him.

"At that time, Mr. Tang Han told me such a story. It is said to be an unknowable country overseas, and there was once a rich family, ranked among the doctors. There is a servant girl in the family, and this servant girl is a slave, but she is the personal maid of the son. His son did not like to be humble, but treated the servant girl like a sister, and over time, the servant girl thought that she was equal to the son. ”

"One day, the handmaid fell to pieces......"

Speaking of this, he remembered that there was no fan before, so he replaced the fan with a jade pendant, and said, "This maidservant girl broke the son's jade pendant." Childe was in a bad mood at the time, so he counted a few words. If in the house of others, such a servant girl must have been beaten to death and insulted, but this son has been a servant girl like a sister since he was a child, so this insult made this servant girl angry and retorted. ”

When he said this, many of the nobles of the Chu State present sneered, and they all wanted to complain that those two old masters could teach such an ambitious person who did not know how to respect and inferiority, and he had told such a story since he was a child.

This servant girl is not grateful, and if she had been elsewhere, she would have been disposed of long ago. She actually retorted angrily, which was really rude.

There are even more nobles who think to themselves, sure enough, sluts are like this, only afraid of power and not virtue, the more you treat him, the more he kicks his nose in the face, and he has to the point of not knowing dignity and humility; If you have been beaten and scolded since childhood, don't say that after being reprimanded, you actually reprimanded, that is, you have already hanged yourself after breaking the jade pendant, why is there anything later?

Shi did not continue to talk about truths such as "the existence of things is to benefit people", but stopped abruptly, and said on this unfinished story: "At that time, I was still young, and since I was a child, I also thought that dignity and orderliness were taken for granted, and being a servant girl has treated you well, and you still don't know how to be grateful?" ”

A few people looked at him, thinking to themselves that you had thought the same way, but I hate that the two masters actually met you, otherwise you would also be a person who knows the order of dignity and inferiority, why is there today's chaos?

Shi seemed to be recalling something, and only after a long time did he say: "This story is very long, and later the master told a lot, and I also listened to a lot. Originally, I didn't like this servant girl, because this servant girl relied on the child's liking and being equal to the child, but she despised those who were lower than her. ”

But after a long, long time, it dawned on me. It was a strange woman, who went from being ignorant and dazed to feeling that people should be equal to their masters, to feeling that the world was inferior and orderly, and was born unequal, and she wanted to rise up to break this inequality...... It's a long road, and it's not something that one person can comprehend. ”

"Under the limitations of the times, if you can vaguely feel that you are qualified to be equal to the master, then you are a strange woman."

After a pause, he added, "Later, the Master told another story, and the people in this story were all men. It is said that one day a king parade, a farmer looked at it, saw its luxurious momentum, and sighed, the husband should be like this. Later, this person went to the border, encountered rain on the way, and was cut off on the wrong time, so he drank highly, and the prince would have a kind of Xiangning? Chop wood for soldiers, uncover the rod and rise. ”

"When I heard these two stories, I always thought that the woman and the man had the same temperament. You can be a prince, and I can be a prince, can it be that after the man becomes a prince, he will be equal to the people below? In the end, like that woman, she is also looking forward to being equal to her superiors and humble to her subordinates. ”

Actually, it's the same thing. wants to be equal to the master, which itself has a faint feeling that the rules of the world are wrong. However, it will take a long time to go from vaguely feeling that we should be equal to the master to feeling that the system is unequal and orderly, and we can't demand too much. ”

"When the system is to be respectful and orderly, it is a matter of course, and the ambition to be humble and supreme is in line with the will of heaven."

"The Mo family, on the other hand, wants to open up a new world, not to make those of us who were once humble become new princes and generals, but to hope that there will be no more respect and humility between the world, everyone is equal, their duties are equally divided, everyone is happy, there are many capable people, and the sage governs."

At that point, ambition, which was once called ambition, no longer exists. Don't say that we are all ambitious, we are the ones who really make the world no longer have such ambitions. ”

"Kong Zhongni ran all over the world, thinking that etiquette was broken, and the doctor would kill Shangqing if he was ambitious, and Shangqing would kill the king if he was ambitious, he wanted to end this troubled world."

"Zi Mozi runs around the world, thinking that etiquette is ignorant, if the sages of the world are the best, and the princes and sons of heaven are elected as servants of the people, they also want to end this troubled world."

After all, Kong Zhongni's road is not going through, but under the dignity and orderliness, he asks everyone to be a gentleman and abide by his duty, which is the opposite of the opposite. Our way is clear, so you are here to feast today, but it is not my right to be torn apart by your chariot and die. ”

The monarchs and ministers of the Chu State couldn't listen to such a truth, but they couldn't refute it, they were just silent.

Shi glanced at Xiong Liangfu, and said: "The world is full of people, and the people of Li are suffering, only Kyushu can be stable." ”

"The Mo family inherits the ambition of Dayu, and the wind and rain are only for the common people in the world to reach Datong, and love is synonymous, and they benefit from each other."

"When Kyushu is unified, only those who work will get their food, and the sages will do their best and each will benefit. At that time, Kyushu will not raise waste. ”

"After all, the taxes come from the people of the world, and how can the people of the world be willing to use the taxes obtained from their hard work and sweat to feed the silverfish that they do not work for?"

"The people of the world are not your parents, and they have no obligation to support you."

"That's why we have a banquet today, and I ask you to think carefully about the days to come, are you willing to contribute to Kyushu Datong? What can you do? What can be done? What kind of talents do you have? ”

He walked around and saw that no one answered, so he shook his head and said, "I'll show you a clear way." As a gentleman, you must know drum music, as well as literature and history. ”

"In the past, the Mojia was not happy, and Zi Mozi thought that the princes and ministers had exhausted the people's fat and people's ointment, and only enjoyed themselves, but the people were not well fed and clothed, so they were not happy. If one day, the people are fed and warmly clothed, and they still need to enjoy drumming. ”

"If you have a talent for drumming, why don't you teach drumming and entertain the people, so that you can eat your own strength?"

The king of Chu was full of color, and he didn't care about being a prisoner at this time, and shouted: "Shi can be killed!" Don't be disgraced! If I have been captured, and you will kill me, why should you insult me? Let me be in the company of those musicians, or die! ”

Shi laughed and said, "So this is an insult? Self-reliance is an insult, but being a silverfish is not an insult? Anyway, as we said before, you can go overseas in Kyushu. Although the ritual system has hindered the people of Kyushu, the generation of slash-and-burn farming outside is still somewhat progressive. If you think about it again, if you really think that self-reliance is an insult, then it means that the Tao is not the same, and I will send you outside of Kyushu,"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone among the ministers of Chu State stood up and said, "I am willing to stay in Kyushu and support myself." I know music theory, and I would like to work as a drummer. ”

The nobleman got up, covered his face with his sleeves, and did not dare to face the king of Chu and the rest of the ministers.

Shi smiled, raised a toast with a group of ink scholars, and then wished the king of Chu and others: "We have already chosen the place, in the South China Sea, in the extreme west, at the mouth of the river. Facing the sea, it is hot and humid, and many indigenous people hunt in the jungle. ”

"The matter of Kyushu has nothing to do with you anymore. The determination of the world has become inevitable, and we do not need you to persuade those Chu people who are still stubborn to surrender to the feudal king. I would like to use this wine to see you off, the ancestors of the road to enlighten the mountains and forests, if you can't do it, then you are incompetent. Kyushu does not raise waste, compared to when your ancestors were blue, you are much stronger now, I hope you are not waste. ”

"Wherever you go, there is a surplus, and the local natives call it a dense place. The people of Kyushu shall lend you all iron tools, seeds, and firearms, but one thing: in the future, the people of Kyushu will be rescued when they fall into water, and if they live there, they shall not shirk, and they shall be repaired from generation to generation, and shall not be disobeyed. After the banquet, there will be a contract. ”

The remainder, the coconut also. This is the name of Bigan, and later generations of Han Fu once said that "leaving Luoxu Yu, Renpin and Lu", he said that it was coconut and palm, and made coconut in the name of Bigan, probably because Bigan was dissected, and eating coconut was also to be dissected.

Chu Di and Nan have also seen coconuts in tribute, and when everyone heard this, they knew that it would be hot and humid there, but when they thought of the insult they had to bear if they stayed here, after all, no one stood up to hide their faces and wanted to support themselves.

Once the sea transportation progresses, the land Silk Road will be abolished and it will be barren. In the future, it is not too late to slowly develop the development of technological progress, and the direction of development in Kyushu in the future will be the South China Sea and the Northeast, as long as the nomadic fishermen and hunters are not allowed to occupy arable land and turn into a mixed group of farming, nomadic herding and hunting, firearms have been released, and the border is worry-free.

However, outside the South China Sea, the people will inevitably refuse to migrate now, there is a hardship and hardship, far worse than Kyushu, it is better to take this opportunity to throw these Chu nobles out and let them develop in the local area. When it is done, it will be traded; If it fails, it will integrate with the local area, learn to farm, and become a stronghold port in the future; If incompetence dies overseas, it is better than forced eviction.
