Chapter 393: Politics and Action (6)

On the occasion of this great victory, the Mo family had to send hundreds of capable forces to devote themselves to the affairs of thousands of miles away, which shows the importance that the Mo family attached to this at this time.

Money is not an issue.

Gold is not a problem either.

Even the diplomacy needed along the way, befriending clan leaders to gain support, and exchanging trade to keep up with what you need along the way.

Shi had already told Mozi before that under the pretense of the two masters, it was enough to pass by carrying silk, iron pots and other goods along the way.

Manpower alone is the biggest problem.

In fact, there are also many opposing voices within the Mo family, thinking that it is too hasty.

But ordinary ink people have the consideration of ink people, and as a giant son of the Mo family, there are considerations of a giant son.

Mozi knew very well how important this "verification" of the world was to the Mo family.

Because the Mohist worldview is incompatible with the mainstream of the world at this time, it is self-contained, and the internal logic is self-consistent, but many things will be deduced to a source according to the Mohist reasoning technique, but it is precisely this source that cannot be proven.

The basis of Mohist thinking today can be summed up in three words.

Synonymous, equal, and love.

All people are created equal, and it cannot be proven, so even if there is no Heavenly Emperor, Mo Zhai himself may not believe it, but he must create one.

Because this equality, in the Mohist argument, was given by the Emperor of Heaven.

The Mohists said that they held the Heavenly Will, and from the natural state of the Heavenly Will, they deduced equality, so the right to interpret the world must be held in their hands.

The synonym other than equality, according to Mozi, is "the king, the general covenant of the subjects", this king is a real person, but it is a virtual monarchy.

Mozi's Shang Tong is the foundation of the standard Enlightenment philosophy, and according to later generations, it is called "historical idealism".

That is, in the ancient state, people were in a state of no fixed morality, ten people, ten righteousness, hundreds of people, and chaos.

The Emperor of Heaven is nature, existence is reasonable, and the existence of man proves that man's "survival", "reproduction", "abundance" and "property" are all the will of Heaven.

Because the ancients did not have the same meaning, everyone in order to survive would lead to "all the losses of water, fire and poison." to have spare strength, can not work together; The surplus wealth of the rotten beetle is not divided into parts; Hide the good way, do not teach each other. Chaos in the world. If the beast is like a beast", the state of natural chaos.

And this state is contrary to the rights granted by the emperor of heaven such as "survival", "reproduction" and "security".

In the end, the people chose the "righteousness" that the majority of people can benefit, and based on this, they formulated laws and decrees, elected the Son of Heaven, and elected representatives from among the people as the "Three Princes", "Doctors", "Township Chiefs", "Lizheng", and so on.

"Whoever hears of goodness will tell it; Those who hear that they are not good will also be sued", forming a "democratic and centralized" system.

For "whoever hears of goodness will tell it; If you hear that you are not good, you will also tell it: "This is democracy."

And "what is above will be what is; What is not above will also be not" is also a concentration.

How to operate, after the emergence of the suitability, a later method is given, which solves the problem of operability, and also draws some boundaries between "public opinion" and "upper discussion".

This leads to the fact that within the Mo family, the giant must have the right to interpret the ideological "Tianzhi" in order to be able to serve as the giant.

In addition to the Mo family, the Mo family's giants must be able to criticize the rest of the doctrines, making other people's interpretations of the rules of heaven and earth meaningless.

This was the basis for the reorganization of the Mo family according to Mozi's doctrine after Shi came to the Mo family.

But even if it didn't appear, Mozi's "Shangtong" chapter was also a big hole.

The history of the Mohist worldview is from the ancient electoral system to the current hereditary system. Hereditary lineage has not existed since ancient times, but "I don't know what the hell has become what it is today."

Mozi did not follow Shang Tong to argue "on the origin of human inequality", but fictionalized the evolution process from the electoral system to the hereditary system.

However, the "Shangtong" chapter has disintegrated the hereditary foundation from the foundation, that is, the noble is not eternal, everyone was equal in ancient times, and the Son of Heaven and the righteous were elected.

The first characteristic of the Son of Heaven is not bloodline, but "virtuous righteousness".

All this is completely different from today's mainstream view of world view and history.

This burying pit is extremely scary for the nobles to think about. Since the Son of Heaven, the princes, and the three princes were not hereditary in ancient times, but elected, is this situation reasonable now?

In addition, Mozi said, "I have a heavenly will, such as a craftsman's rules", and the "righteousness" of the Son of Heaven must be in line with the "heavenly will", so ...... Is the giant of the Mo family qualified to criticize, educate or even replace the unrighteous sons of heaven, princes, three princes, and even township chiefs?

In the final analysis, the method of Confucianism and Mo contending with each other and killing each other is to grasp the right to interpret ideology and the world of heaven and earth.

Is there constancy or impermanence?

Is the Son of Heaven chosen or hereditary?

Is righteousness predetermined by man or can it be rationally deduced from the will of nature?

This is the dead hole and root cause of the conflict between Confucianism and Mo.

The seizure of power by force, and the eventual formation of a new one, is a natural approach.

It is also a way to use the situation that the Mohist worldview is incompatible with the mainstream worldview to verify the correctness of the Mohist worldview, so as to achieve a state of "I said one, two, three, and one or two are right, then three should also be right".

Maybe I said one, two, three, there is no direct connection between the fact that the earth is round, and there is still a culture thousands of miles away, and everyone is equal under the Emperor. However, if the opponents of the Mohists have a wrong understanding of what the world is like, how can they say that the rest of the Mohist principles are wrong?

If we cannot grasp the right to interpret "heaven", we cannot argue for "equality", because the equality of all people introduced by the Mohists is based on the "will of heaven". Even if the heavens can't grasp the right of interpretation, how can people be convinced of equality, synonym and love?

And how can a school that knows the "will of heaven" not know whether the earth under his feet is square or round? How can you not know if there is a kingdom thousands of miles away? How can you not know why there are four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter?

The earth is not yet known, how dare you say that you know the sky?

These things must be considered as a giant, and they must also be considered as the top level of the Mohist school.

Therefore, this matter can be said to have been unanimously approved in the previous high-level discussions, including the money, goods, and personnel required, and the governors of various departments have no different words, which is to ask people to give people and money to money.

Pei County's righteous governance proves that the Mo family has the ability to govern, and the Mo family's paradise has the possibility of being realized in the world.

Although the Mo family concluded that the Yue country was no longer the status of the Yue country fifty years ago according to the appropriate analysis, but the mainstream idea of the world is still unknown, with the aftermath of the three seasons of the war a few years ago, the Yue country was still the country of tigers and wolves before the battle of the water.

Pei County's righteousness, and even the restoration of Teng and the Mo family of the Nine Kingdoms of Surabaya on their behalf, all of these are the remnants of the old rules of the Spring and Autumn Period borrowed to the greatest extent.

In the first battle of the water, he directly invited the Sanjin Qi Yue Alliance, which was the maximum borrowing of the new rule that the fist had the right to speak during the Warring States Period.

And now, the Mo family has gained a firm foothold, it is time to seek the world, it is time to verify the will of the Mo family, and it is time to find a way to spread the morality of the Mo family and cause a sensation in the world.

Going west and going north, these two things were done at this time, and the countries regarded it as a joke at most, and a Mohist still had the "naivety" of his academic thoughts. Compared to the battle of the water that the nobles of various countries were about to discuss, this was a small matter.

But once they come back, they really verify all this, and after more than ten years, the world's thinking will inevitably be in chaos, to the point that it is impossible for the nobles to clean it up.

And the facilitation of this matter, Mozi also has his own "selfishness".

He is more than 70 years old, and he has lived a life like a saint ascetic all his life, with no children or daughters, and only one belief in the world is left in his heart.

The "means" of the Mo family to practice righteousness are different from what he thought before, but the "results" of doing righteousness are far better than the decades of running around before. But the Mohists are utilitarian and result-oriented, so Mozi believes that the world will eventually be profitable in the future.

So when he is old, all he wants is a hope that can be seen in his lifetime.

The world is determined to be one, and it may take decades or even hundreds of years to realize synonymology, virtue, equality, and love.

However, the "Heavenly Will" explained by the Mohists can be verified before his death.

Mozi's current "selfishness" is nothing more than three things.

Thousands of miles away from the Western Regions, are there really many countries with similar cultural prosperity to Zhuxia? Isn't the concept of the world this little Kyushu?

Is the earth beneath our feet really round, as Shi inferred, and at an inclination to the orbit that revolves around the sun, so that there are days and nights in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and in the extreme north of the north pole for months?

It is said that Xuan Lin can make a thing, as if he can pull a scene miles away in front of him, so can he see this kind of Xuan Lin mirror before he dies, and be able to see what the moon hanging in the sky is?

Aside from these three things, Mozi didn't have any other worries.

He has chosen the most suitable successor.

After the first battle of the water, some of the controversies within the Mo family will naturally dissolve.

Those who think they should take advantage of this opportunity to rescue the people of the Yue Kingdom will soon be in the midst of all the troublesome things of the Fifteen Kingdoms of Surabaya, and practice will make them realize that building a new world is far from being as easy as they think.

Half of those who believe that the Central Plains should be defeated will be because they are not confident in defeating the powerful country of Vietnam, and the other part will also be weakened by the situation after the First World War.

Mozi's chosen successor has established his prestige in the weakest military affairs, and few can shake it. And the explanation of the world of heaven and earth, that was also the position that his chosen successor had been holding before the Mo family.

At the age of Mozi, who does what he wants and does not exceed the rules, what he is thinking about is no longer a small Sishang matter, and even Zhao Guoshi just smiled faintly, the accumulation of years is nothing more than twenty years, what is it?

What he cares about and considers is not only the original appearance of the world, but the origin of the world.

Ten thousand domains, and ten thousand eternity.
