Chapter 400: The Ruthless Years of the World (1)

In the third year after Meng Zhuze's alliance, that is, the ninth year of King Zhou An, 393 AD.

In the past three years, a lot of things have happened in the world, many people have died, and many battles have been fought.

But the sun still rises and sets, and the moon waxes and wanes.

The changes of time are the most ruthless to people.

Yuedi, Hangou, the canal dug in order to compete for hegemony in the past, is now in a hurry, boats and boats compete with each other, communicating the river and Huaishui.

Thirty miles ahead, is Guangling City.

On a boat, an old man sat in the bow of the boat, holding an object in his hand, made of brass, which looked like a straight log, and was inlaid with expensive crystals on both sides, which was the clairvoyant mirror made by the Mo family last year.

The old man raised it from time to time to take a look, with many smiles on his face, and nodded from time to time.

There was a young man about thirty years old standing next to him, and he said in a loud voice: "Giant, it's easy to get dizzy when you look at this thing, so it's better not to look at it too much." ”

Whoever speaks is suitable. And the one he called Juzi was naturally Mozi.

Mozi didn't take back the clairvoyant mirror, and said with a smile: "Changsangjun said that I can't survive the end of this year." People are born to die, and I have seen the dawn of benefiting the world, so I am not afraid of death. If you are not afraid of death, why are you afraid of dizziness? ”

Behind Shi, there are still five strong men with swords, who are the five of the thirteen swords about Shi at the beginning, and now they are in a high position in the Mo family, but this time Mozi said that he went on a last trip before he died, and he still wanted these people to follow and accompany him.

In addition to this one ship, there are several ships in the back, followed by many characters of the Mo family.

Of course, Mozi didn't care about what he said, but everyone present was saddened, Changsang Jun's medical skills were unparalleled, and he said that Juzi couldn't survive this year, so I'm afraid he really couldn't survive.

Mozi played with the clairvoyant mirror and sighed: "This thing is so good." It's a pity that I can't see the moon, so I can only blur. ”

Shi Lian said: "Sir will work hard to live for a few more years, and he is grinding, and the craftsmen are becoming more and more skilled......"

Mozi laughed and said, "I can't stay up!" I can't make it up! ”

"The three things I wanted to see the most back then, now I've seen one and a half things. There is no news from Solushen so far, but he sent back a few good horses from the West, which are indeed miraculous horses, and if they are improved, they can help with farming and warfare. ”

"Returning from the far north with the nest, the world is shaking, proving that other families are at least wrong, our statement about heaven and earth may be right, and that's enough."

"I wanted to benefit the world since I was 20 years old, and now I am more than 70, I really want to live a few more years, but unfortunately I can't live."

Everyone on the boat was saddened when they heard this, and many disciples wept softly.

Seeing the boat passing by, many disciples pointed to a boat in the distance in order to make Mr. more happy: "That's our ship, which is transporting copper ingots from Lingyang." ”

"And that one, which transports sugar and salt from Hai Duong. Chudi Yunmeng has sugar cane, let's squeeze it for frosting. and boiled salt in Hai Duong. This is all a great measure for the benefit of the world, and now some wealthy farmers can drink a pot of sugar water with 'tea' in the afternoon, and the salt is enough......"

Mozi just nodded and said, "Okay! Good! Okay......"

He stood up tremblingly, and the people next to him hurriedly supported him, Mozi watched the bow of the boat break through the waves, stared at the water for a long time, and said abruptly: "Old man, wise man happy, water." ”

"The joy of the wise is like flowing water, reading all things in the world, leisurely, and indifferent. Judging from his words, I am not a wise man, the more I have read all things in the world, but I am not leisurely and indifferent, but the more I want to hold a sword for the benefit of the world! ”

Everyone is silent, knowing Mr.'s temper and status, he has long been free from the opinions of other families, he has become his own family, has his own rules, and never overcomes the old system, but the heart of "ambition for the world".

Mozi looked at it for a long time, and said to the person behind him: "Gao He, you go to the back and get some of the things I have written in the past few years." ”

Hearing this, Gao He hurriedly stepped back and took out a huge wooden box.

If this wooden box is filled with bamboo slips, it may not be more than 10,000 characters. But if it were a book bound on straw paper, it would probably have to be more than a million words.

Only two people on board knew what was written in it.

Mozi and Shi.

In fact, it was filled with blank bound paper, with Mozi's signature and seal every few pages, but there was not a single word inside.

This time, before going out before his death, Mozi talked with Shi Mi and told Shi about it.

After Gao He brought this wooden box, Mozi called the high-level Mo family leaders on the ship to come over and said, "This is the study of Tianzhi that I have studied over the years. ”

"There is no system of government, personnel, or opinions on how the Mo family will go in the future. Yes, it's just about the geometry of nine numbers, the sun, the moon and the stars, and the hundred crafts of the crops. ”

"Do you remember?"

Everyone said, "Remember." ”

Mozi asked again: "What do you think if someone says from here that I Mo Zhai wrote some personnel and political arrangements?" ”

Those people said, "It will be a lie." Not credible. and usurped the words of the giant, he should be punished! ”

Mozi nodded, looked at Shi, the only one who knew the truth, and said, "These Tianzhi learnings, Shi is the most able to comprehend. Everyone else is worse. These things, just hand them over. In the future, if I have sorted out one article, I will send one out to learn from my Mohists. ”

It is appropriate to understand that Mozi believes in his views on all things in heaven and earth, and also understands that Mozi knows his status in the Mo family, so before he dies, he hopes to do something for the world in the end.

He also asked Shi if he would be willing to let his knowledge be signed in Mo Zhai's name? If it is for the benefit of the world, this matter will be deserved, and there will be no two words.

What Mozi said before is really restrictive. There are factions, disputes, disputes, and even many factions that are out of place.

In the gathering three years ago, Mozi stepped down as a giant, and Yu Huali became a giant, and Shi squeezed Wei Yue away and became the youngest Qiwu harm.

Mozi didn't want to leave anything for Shi to play, he didn't trust Shi, but he didn't want any possibility.

Therefore, he said, there is no opinion on personnel and politics in it, and there are only cold "theorems" and knowledge that explain the objective world.

Mozi always felt that Shi knew far more than he showed, and Mozi knew that as the founder of the Mo family, there were some things that he wrote and what he wrote, and the meaning for future generations was completely different.

Shi stretched out his hands to take the wooden box, and Mozi told everyone again: "These things are very slow to organize. Don't be in a hurry. Moreover, what I write is always easier for the people to understand than this one who has done a radical of Xuanyi...... The right thing to do is to sort it all out in a language that most people can understand. ”

Shi bowed his head and said, "I respect Mr.'s order." I will not dare to forget. ”

Mozi waved his hand and said, "Put it away." I don't talk about political affairs these days, just look at the scenery, look at the changes over the years, and see how much we have benefited the world. How far is it to get to Guangling? ”

Gao He said on the side: "I must arrive before evening." ”

Mozi smiled: "Then rest in Guangling for a day." ”

In the evening, the slanting sun reflected the red river, and the group got off the boat, and there were already people here to greet and wait.

A carriage, Mozi rides, and the rest of the people ride horses, along the way to the city of Guangling.

This is Yuedi, but not far away is Haiyang, which is occupied by the Mo family, and the Mo family has infiltrated a lot, and it is almost the same as in Sishang.

After entering the city, it was easy to see the Mo family's stronghold here.

The houses made of red bricks are inlaid with a few pale green windows that were very sensational when they first arrived, and now everyone in the city is accustomed to them, which the Mohists call glass.

Next to this, there is a wine shop, next to which a wooden board is placed, where every once in a while, an inkman teaches and teaches calligraphy. On the wooden board, there are still traces left by the last Muslim characters, which have not been wiped clean, and it can be vaguely seen that there are a few simple words such as "rice", "salt" and "sugar" written on them.

The sunset shone on the glass, a little dazzling, Mozi blocked his eyes with his hands, turned around and asked, "Sui, you say, two hundred years...... Is there enough glass that everyone in the world can use to replace window paper? ”

Shi smiled and said, "It should be, right?" Didn't you go to the glass workshop on the island on the lake last month? Actually...... Fortunately, it is the seaweed ash that is needed, which is a little difficult to get. ”

That small island is in Peize, and it is all some secret workshops of the Mo family, and the defense is extremely strict.

Mozi knew that this seaweed ash was a necessary thing for making glass, and in addition to having its own workshop, the Mo family also purchased it by the sea, and there were already some workshops specializing in making these things on the seaside.

Some of them are the nobles of the Yue Kingdom who directly use the serfs of their own fiefs as workshop workers, because the grain has become more and more worthless in recent years, and all kinds of luxury goods of the Mo family have emerged in an endless stream, and the nobles of the Yue Kingdom rely on the income of the original fief, and it is really difficult to maintain a luxurious life.

Others have glass, so you have to get one yourself, this thing is bright, and it is comfortable to live in.

If someone else has porcelain, they have to get some of it themselves, otherwise they will lose their aristocratic temperament too much.

Other people's private soldiers have muskets and iron swords, so you have to buy some yourself, otherwise your strength will not be good, and you will have no power to speak.

Others have iron pots, mirrors, and cotton cloth, and they must always have ......

But only relying on the income of the fiefdom Lutian, the grain is getting cheaper and cheaper, and the Mo family does not accept grain, as long as the money, if you want to maintain such a life, you have to use your brains.

There are those who learn from Haiyang and use their own serfs to grow sugarcane; There are those who set up workshops for boiling grass ash by the sea; There are also ...... who grow cotton in their own fiefdoms

It's not a lot, but at least it's been done.

Mozi looked at Shi Shi and asked, "Didn't you say that this algae ash can be made from charcoal, gallium juice and salt?" And the bile-alum water, can't it also be burned out with sulfur or something? ”

Shi Hehe said with a smile: "The world is changing, Mr. said to weigh the big and small benefits, but I'm afraid I don't have the heart to do this." But my disciples have grown up, they have learned a lot, and in a few years, they will be able to take charge of these things on their own...... We'll talk about that then. If it does, it may be possible in 200 years. ”

"Sir, don't worry about that. As long as our Mo family's Tianzhi learning is passed on, even if they can't do it, there will always be someone behind them. That's why I said at the beginning, Mr. walked into the grass and incarnated thousands of people, just for these things. ”

Mozi sighed and said, "I'm in a hurry...... I'm going to die soon, but I'm more anxious than ever. When I saw the glass, I was anxious to make it available to all the people in the world; When I saw the sugar, I was anxious to make it available to all the people in the world; When I saw the iron, I was anxious and wanted all the people in the world to buy it...... I'm in a hurry for everything, you don't understand that when you're going to die, you see all this right in front of you, but you can't see the mood of more people benefiting......"
