Seeing that Shi had finished reading it, Gao Sun said: "Before coming this time, everyone in Pei County discussed it. You and I will arrange the rest of the business here, and in September there will be an enlarged synonym meeting. This time, about 100 people participated. ”

"Not only Peixian, but also Pengcheng and Tengdi who can participate in the meeting. There are two main things. ”

"First, it's still synonymous. Jin and Chu will not participate in the Soldiers' Meeting, and there are still many people within the Mo family who believe that our first task is to try our best to promote the Central Plains' Soldiers. Do you need Jin Qiang to help Chu, and Chu Qiang to help Jin? Or will it continue to expand in Surabaya and ignore the dispute between Jin and Chu for the time being? ”

"Now everyone has a lot of ideas, and some people are wondering, we seem to have the ability to attack the Central Plains now, why don't we go to the Central Plains?"

Although he is in charge of the Xuanyi Department, the ideas within the Mo family are diverse, and the divergence of ideas has led to the split of the Mo family in normal history.

This is to be expected.

Now that the Mo family seems to have some family background, many people have begun to have illusions that they can let the Mo family continue to be a weight to balance the disputes between major powers, so as to avoid the possibility of a full-scale war in the Central Plains.

This kind of thinking is very dangerous, and it is estimated that there should be a certain disagreement within the high-level within the Mo family this time, so Mozi will choose this way of expanding the meeting to carry out the final consultation.

The more it expanded, the more favorable it was for the idea of adapting to this faction, on the contrary, those early ink masters with high prestige were subject to the times and still had the idea of fighting the Central Plains.

Shi secretly admired that this method was used well, and Mozi's current prestige could be suppressed, and at the same time, it was necessary to follow the normal procedures and rules to completely determine the future path of the Mo family.

If it is only a high-level discussion, the final result may not necessarily be an overall advantage.

Gao Sun Tzu said: "The second is that the Yue people may retaliate, which requires the mobilization of all the forces of the Mo family. How to integrate? How to prepare? And how to convince the crowd? This needs to be decided as soon as possible. ”

"You are in charge of the Xuanyi Department, and this matter still has to be left to you. The meaning of Juzi is to let you make some preparations in advance and do more publicity. ”

"Can you win? What are the benefits to the people after the victory? It is not only necessary to convince the ink people who benefit the world, but also to take into account the opinions of the people......"

"After all, we have something we have now that we can't say. If you say it, you will incur the wrath of the princes of the world. ”

Shi agreed, frowned, and said, "I can only say that this year is very important." There may be some hardships to endure, and there may be comprehensive mobilization preparations. ”

"Many people's thoughts also need to be spoken out and discussed, after all, only the same sense can be successful, and only then can we be comrades with one heart and one mind. What do you think? ”

The difference of opinion within the country is inevitable, and the Mo family has already experienced a victory incident before, so it is appropriate to know what Mozi's attitude is towards this matter.

Gao Sun Tzu said: "The giant said that this matter is different from the thing that is contrary to righteousness. In this matter, everyone still has the idea of 'benefiting the world' in their hearts, but they have different ideas about 'how to benefit the world' and 'how the world will be'. ”

So, after the end of the synonym, these different ideas are still allowed. It's just that you have to make it clear to them, and occupy the upper class morally, thinking that it is the righteousness of the Mo family. ”

"It can be different, but it has to be followed."

Back then, he was closely concerned about his grandson and Shidu.

Before Shi joined the Mo family, it was the grandson who went to Mozi to make a "small report", and any Shengqiu betrayed righteousness, and he should be punished and deprived of Shengqiu's power.

After Shi joined the Mo family, the first thing he did was to assist Mozi in reorganizing the Mo family, and characterized the matter of Sheng Xuan as a bad behavior of "stepping on everyone's bones for personal gain", and eventually led to Sheng Xuan and others betraying Mo and leaving.

The grandson is jealous and hateful, and he is extremely concerned about some things, and he has always had his own thoughts about the purity of the Mo family.

He still wears straw sandals and rags, and he suffers to the extreme.

And there were several conflicts and arguments with Shi later, especially in Shi proposing to produce some spirits and Xuan Lin in exchange for the money of the nobles to develop the Mo family, Gao Sun Tzu thought that Shi was "a corner of the fat world, and harm the four corners of the world".

Because the grandson thinks that these spirits and other items are similar to Zhuyu. Once it appears, the princes and nobles will inevitably like it and loot the people more, which is contrary to the Mohist morality of "non-pleasure and thrift".

The conflict of ideas between him and Shi has always existed, but the two also respect each other.

It is suitable to respect the life of the grandson who suffers from himself, and also praises the principle of the grandson who does not rub the sand.

Gao Sun admired Shi's methods, and recognized that Shi did not use these things for personal gain, and indeed always adhered to the morality of the Mo family.

In this regard, after the eldest grandson finished talking about the giant son's thoughts, he looked at Shi with a little resentment and said, "This matter is because of you after all. ”

"Do you still remember when Gongsun Ze died in the Battle of Shangqiu, you commented on the many gentlemen in Shangqiu, and talked about Gongsun Ze and Song Xianggong back then? You say that these rules and etiquette are just used by the princes to control the allegiance of the soldiers, and Xianggong is stupid because he believes in it. ”

Shi Waner smiled, remembering that this was indeed said with his own big mouth, in order to say, "The peasants, industrialists and princes should not use a set of morality."

The high grandson sighed and said: "I know what you want to do, but you don't dare to say what you want to do, because once you say it, the Mo family will shock the princes, the nobles will be alarmed, and the nobles and princes of the world will be enemies." This fashion is not the right time. ”

"Therefore, the Mo family must also say things like attacking and killing soldiers, so that everything the Mo family does can be 'famous' in the Mo family's morality."

"It's just that you've been hiding too much, and many of you have believed it. So much so that some people think that we should promote the destruction of the army in the world, and we should check and balance the princes......"

Shi Wenyan smiled bitterly, there are really advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it will not cause panic and opposition from the princes, and it will win a space for the Mo family to use the contradictions of the princes to survive.

The disadvantage is that this kind of normal Mozi idea that will appear after the death of the Mo family has appeared, and it has intensified.

The problem is that at this time, some people within the Mo family who are sufficiently sober, influenced by the suitability, and have given up their illusions, like him, dare not say the true purpose of the Mo family, resulting in different interpretations of the program as the strength of the Mo family increases, and they are all interpretations that conform to the program.

But there is no way, it is impossible to shout out a new program at this time: overthrow the aristocracy and stabilize the world!

If you dare to shout like this today, tomorrow Jin Chu will put aside the dispute between the two sides and kill the Mo family first. For the time being, there is no strength to compete with the princes of the world.

The divergent, ambiguous, but plausible interpretation of the programme has led to this dispute over morality and the future course, which is normal.

The eldest grandson looked at Shi Zai and smiled bitterly, and knew that he said that just now, and he didn't blame him, he firmly distrusted the princes and nobles in this matter, but for the sake of the long-term development of the Mo family, he also knew that he could not formulate the program too sharply at this time.

However, there are some things that Gao Sun Tzu still wants to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss with him, and it is something that he thinks will happen in the future.

He added: "In one, after the first battle of Shangqiu, the Mo family was famous all over the world, and the travelers who had the world in their hearts went to Pei County one after another, thinking that the Mo family would save the world. This gives rise to the word you said...... Well, the good and the bad are mixed. ”

"Those wanderers, some of them are for Tianzhi."

"Some are for non-attack, thinking that the Mo family wants to kill soldiers in the world."

"Some of them are from agricultural and industrial backgrounds, and they recognize the idea that everyone in the Mo family is equal."

"Others, I think that it should be said that the princes and nobles should be moved, or the Mo family should be appointed as officials, so that the princes and nobles can be advised to carry out the benevolence and righteousness of the Mo family."

"There are also for the sake of being famous, just for the sake of fame......"

"The Mo family has expanded several times, Pei County is the place with the most scholars in the world, and some of the new Mo people are good for persuading the princes and nobles to practice the benevolence and righteousness of the Mo family, and for the people to go out as a Mo person...... There are a lot of such thoughts. ”

"There are pros and cons to everything, and this matter needs to be resolved......"

Shi Gang wanted to say something, but the high grandson said gloomily: "The body of the giant is ...... Something seems to be wrong. Chang Sangjun went to see it, although it was still tough, but it was not as good as before. Juzi was anxious, if this matter was not resolved, he was worried that after his death, the Mo family would be like Zhongni's learning, and each would insist on its own words, and the Mo family's learning and the great cause of benefiting the world would be frustrated......"

Everyone present, except for the already known Gao Sun Tzu and Shijia Dolphin, was surprised, and many people asked in surprise: "How is the giant?" ”

Most of these people present were disciples of Mozi, and a small number of them belonged to the late Mozi who were suitable for the lineage. But the feelings and concerns for Mozi are the same.

Although Shi knew that Mozi was also a mortal, not a god, and there would always be a day when he would pass away, he didn't expect that this day would really seem to be coming.

Seeing that everyone was panicked, the grandson sighed: "There is no need to panic, my Mo family uses funeral festivals, although I worship ghosts and gods, I don't seek immortality, and I am not afraid of life and death." How can a man not be born, grow old, sick and die? ”

"The giant said that he Mo Zhai died, but the giant can be inherited. He Mo Zhai died, and the righteousness of the Mo family is still there. What is there to be sad about? ”

"Besides, there is the world-famous Changsangjun, the giant is in good health, so there is no need to panic. Juzi just hopes that the gathering in September can discuss how the Mo family should go in the future and where to go...... If this matter is not resolved......"

Shi nodded, the people present were all people who were going to participate in the expanded synonym meeting in September, and the eldest grandson was not unaware of the severity, since he said this matter directly, I am afraid that he also had his own plans.

In the general direction, there is no disagreement between Shi and Gao Sun, otherwise Mozi would not strongly advocate that Gao Sun Sun cooperate with Shi, I am afraid that it is also for the two of them to be able to communicate with everyone first.

The differences between the two people mainly focused on the economic aspect, focusing on the "non-happiness" of the Mohists, which led to a series of economic reform policies of the Mohists.

Mozi's attitude towards non-happiness can be derived from a variety of meanings.

In later generations, there is a so-called, I note the Six Classics, and the Six Classics note me.

This matter is similar within the Mo family.

Mozi Says:

Now the princes, although they have not made them into musical instruments, think that the matter is the country, not the direct water, and do it frankly, will be generous to the people, thinking that the sound of the big bell, the drum, the harp, and the sheng. The ancient saint kings also tried to take generous measures to attract all the people, thinking that they were boats and cars. After thinking that it was done, he said: "I will use it for evil?" He said: "The water used for the boat, the land used for the car, the gentleman rests his feet, and the villain rests on his shoulders." "Therefore, all the people give it with wealth, and they dare not think that they are haters, why not? With its anti-Chinese interests also. However, the musical instrument is against the interests of the Chinese people, and if this is the case, that is, I dare to do it; However, we should use musical instruments, such as the holy king's boats and cars, that is, I dare to do it.

The people have three plagues: those who are hungry cannot eat, those who are cold cannot be clothed, and those who work cannot rest. The three are also the great troubles of the people. Then, when we hit the giant bell, beat the drum, play the piano, and play the flute, and raise the relatives, the people's food and clothing will be safe? That is, I thought it was not necessary. Meaning this, now there are big countries that attack small countries, there are everyone that is to cut down small families, strong robberies and weak, tyrannical widows, deception and foolishness, arrogance and cheapness, chaos and thieves, can not be forbidden, and then should be for it to hit the giant bell, beat the drum, play the piano, play the flute and raise the relatives, the chaos of the world also, will be safe and governed? That is, I am not necessarily. It was the old son Mozi who said: "I tasted the thick measures of the people, thinking that the big bell, the drum, the piano, and the sound of the sheng." In order to seek the benefits of the world, in addition to the harm of the world, there is no supplement. ”

Roughly speaking, the sound of bells, drums, pianos, and shengs has an egg?

Boats and cars can benefit all the people in the world.

But can you beat the giant bell, beat the drum, play the piano, and play the flute and sheng, and solve the problem of "the hungry cannot eat, the cold cannot be clothed, and the laborer cannot rest"?

Besides, these things are so expensive, which one doesn't need people's fat and people's ointment? The princes and nobles will inevitably exploit the people if they do this, this kind of etiquette is harmful to the world, and these things can't be conjured, right?

Now that the people of the world are still starving, they are still hungry for food, cold and clothing, and they can't rest, isn't it better for the princes and nobles to use the money and labor for ceremonial music to develop industry and agriculture?

Anything that is out of step with the times is wrong.

If in the future, everyone has enough to eat, they can accuse Mozi of "not understanding art", "opposing culture", "populism", and so on.

But at this time, when the average life expectancy was less than forty, and the use of stone tools and bronze tools for cattle farming had not yet become popular, so blaming Mozi was completely looking at the problem from the perspective of the aristocracy.

It's just that the view on "non-music" has also created a contradiction between Shi and Gao Sun, mainly because of its extended meaning.

Is it right to earn the money of the nobility by relying on luxury goods, and then develop the Mo family? Is it against the morality of the Mohists to "benefit the world"?

The development model of Pei County, if it is according to the suitability, is to rely on handicrafts and technology to suck the blood of the world.

For example, Xuan Lin, who has always been opposed by his grandson, is a luxury like bells and drums. The people will not benefit, and the exploitation of the aristocracy will increase.

It is appropriate to grasp Mozi's statement that "if the instrument is against the Chinese people, it is also the benefit of the people, that is, I dare to be wrong; However, they should use musical instruments, such as the holy king's boats and cars, that is, I dare to disagree", and argue with the great grandson.

Mozi said, "However, if the same is true of musical instruments, it is in the interests of the people. I don't dare to object. However, when it comes to the use of musical instruments like the Saint King's shipbuilding and chariots, I dare not object to it."

The extended meaning of this "musical instrument" is a luxury product, or some "handicrafts" that the people cannot use for profit.

Shi believes that his own method is in the interests of the people in the long run, just like the Holy King building a car.

Gao Sun Tzu believes that the result of the appropriate idea is correct, and it is indeed possible to develop the Mohist family and eventually change the world, but this process is problematic. Those nobles have intensified their exploitation, are these luxury goods such as spirits and Xuan Lin of the Mo family in charge?

For example, a certain nobleman of the Sanjin Dynasty, Xuan Lin will really appear in the future, he will intensify the exploitation of the fiefdom, some people die, some people flee, and even the families that are squeezed are ruined, and the Mo family that made Xuan Lin and sold it, does he need to be responsible?

In order to benefit the world, does the justice of the process need to be observed? Is it okay not to think about all the processes for the sake of the result?

Everyone in the Mo family knows that Shi and his grandson have contradictory views on this matter, and everyone in the Mo family knows about the liquor incident.

However, this time Mozi sent his grandson to come, and at the same time asked the city to follow him, in fact, this arrangement is extremely interesting.

The three of them are all high-level, and they also have prestige within the Mo family.

The general direction of the future development of the Mo family is the same, the distrust of the princes and nobles is the same, and they support the Mo family's "armed secession" in Surabaya, infiltrating the "national rebellion" in the Chu State, and thinking that they will "elect the Son of Heaven" in the future.

This is the general direction of the discussion at the big gathering in September, but some small issues also need to be resolved, and it seems that Mozi is not prepared to leave some unresolved disputes before he dies.

Appropriate economic policies and attitudes, the city is absolutely supportive, he is in charge of the Mo family's financial system, and he knows the Mo family's consumption.

Gao Sun Tzu can't rub sand in his eyes, and has always been suspicious of some suitable economic strategies, and is a representative of the "self-suffering" faction within the Mo family.

Sending these two people here, one is that Mozi has already approved the opinions of the Mo family on the future development direction of the Mo family, and the other is that he hopes that under the premise of the same general direction, the pure idealistic faction of "self-suffering" and the faction of some pragmatism and utilitarianism led by Shi can reach an internal agreement first.

In the September gathering, they united against the factions that had illusions about the princes and nobles and idealized that the Mohists should continue to maintain the world's war.

What the city Jia Dolphin represents is the overall reality of the Mo family. Huge expenses, high expenses, this requires him to be a realistic side, with the cruel reality to reconcile the disputes between the high grandsons.
