Shi looked at Gongsun Ze with an angry look, and it took a long time before he smiled: "We are connected to the Chu people as the ink man, and we have nothing to do with defending the city. The city is broken, or the Chu people retreat, the ink man's business is finished. ”

"We are not subordinate to the Duke of Song, so we can naturally ally with the Chu people."

The Mohists pay attention to the righteousness of the name, and the Confucian scholars also pay attention to the righteousness of the name, but the foundation of the "name" of the two sides is completely different, and in the end it can only be said by the chicken and the duck.

When Gongsun Ze heard this, he was even more dissatisfied, and asked rhetorically: "Now we all know what you are doing in Peiyi, Peiyi has no slaughter, you are Peiyi slaughter." However, Peiyi belongs to the Duke of Song, since you are the ruler of Peiyi, how can you not belong to the Duke of Song? ”

When Shi Yi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense about this matter, why are we Peiyi Zai?" We only do righteousness in Peiyi, and all the people of Peiyi choose the county government by law. It's just that the elected county government happens to be the ink person, but the real Peiyi Zai is the people of Pei County, and the county government is just a collection of the will of the people to represent, just like the oath signed by the princes and nobles at the time of the alliance, don't they also represent all the people? ”

Gongsun Ze gritted his teeth and said, "This doesn't make sense! ”

Shi Zhan said: "The land belongs to all people, so it makes sense." ”

Gongsun Ze scolded back: "You say that the land belongs to all the people, and it belongs to all the people? I only say that the land belongs to the Son of Heaven, and the rewards are given to the princes, and the princes are given to the doctors, and the doctors are divided between the soldiers and the farmers......"

Shi laughed and sighed, "So, there is no way for the two of us to argue." All the debates boil down to the fundamental question: to whom does the land belong? Where does wealth come from? Is this something that can be argued with in a short period of time? ”

"In this way, if this matter is to defend the city, you are still alive, you can travel all over the world to find hermits and celebrities, if you can argue the truth of the Mo family in this matter, my Mo family will admit its mistake, how about it?"

Gongsun Zexi said: "Are you serious? You are not a giant, how can you make the Mo family admit your mistake? ”

Shi said solemnly: "The giant must also conform to the rules of heaven and gather the righteousness of all the inkers." If you argue with the morality of Tianzhi and Mo, then the truth of the Mo family is wrong, even if the giant is wrong, then you can naturally admit your mistake and apologize. It's not that I made the Mo family admit their mistakes, but the Mo family will naturally admit their mistakes. ”

Gongsun Ze felt that although he was cunning, he didn't seem to be lying after all, so he pondered the meaning of Shiren, and then thought about the meaning of the people of Peixian County before, nodded and said: "If the defense of the city is finished, I am still here, and I will complete this matter in this life." ”

After that, he saluted again and said goodbye to Shi.

He met Shi by chance this time, for his own reasons, originally he was guarding the city wall, but yesterday suddenly changed people, and some small nobles were called to the palace.

Most of the family members of these minor nobles were secretly guarded by the Mo family before defending the city, so as to prevent them from defecting to the enemy, and the Duke of Song personally ordered permission.

Gongsun Ze was quite dissatisfied, feeling that this was not believing in everyone, he only felt that his family was not guarded, and he would definitely die in the city and never turn his back, and he couldn't help but be even more disdainful of the Mo family's methods.

"If the monarch is righteous, why should he use such means to restrain the people? The ink only understands the system, but does not understand benevolence and righteousness, which is like paying attention only to the branches and leaves of a tree and not to the foundation of the tree. ”

"If you can persuade the monarch to be benevolent and righteous, then the scholars must use their lives and the people will obey, the doctor will not have two hearts, and it will be difficult for the secretary to have different ideas, so that the world can be stable."

"But the ink man wants to use the means of guarding his wife and daughter to defend the city, which can be used today, but what can he do tomorrow? Doesn't it chill everyone? ”

He couldn't stop slandering, and he knew that this time to recruit them must also be the meaning of the Mo family giant, so he sighed but had to go.

He has his own morality and cognition, even if Confucianism and Mo are mortal enemies, but before defending the city, the Duke of Song has handed over the responsibility of defending the city to Mo Zhai, so Gongsun Ze can only obey the orders of the Mo family: he knows very well in his heart, but because the Mo family has the orders of the monarch, his compliance with the orders of the Mo family is actually just obeying the orders of the monarch.

When he entered the palace wall and entered a mansion, he found that there were already many taxis dressed like him.

All the people present were low-level nobles, who wore swords, had a small fief or a fortune since childhood, practiced martial arts on a full-time basis, and became full-time samurai.

Use force as a feudal obligation, in return to their superiors.

It's just that the taxis in the courtyard are not all directly under Duke Song, and there are some doctors and Qing's subordinate soldiers, but they all seem to be sergeants, and many people also recognize Sun Ze.

After asking around, I don't know what the purpose of summoning these people here is, and now it is the period of defending the city, and if there is a convocation, it can only be observed.

There is food and drink in it, although it is rough, but it is still much better than in the city.

After a few days, more and more people were called into the courtyard and were not allowed to go out.

Guarding the door were Song Gong's henchmen and several ink scholars, and the young Song Gong accompanied Mo Zhai to come forward in person, only saying that these people should wait a little, and that all matters of defending the city were handed over to Mozi, so that they must obey.

After all, the king's words can still convince these low-ranking nobles who have been dissatisfied in a few days, and they will only wait for the ink man to come and vent their complaints.

There are also smarter people who think that maybe these people will be gathered together and do something to fight back against the Chu people, and they can't help but feel uneasy.

If it is true, it is obvious that they are prepared to let them fight on foot, because the people gathered here are all soldiers, and they cannot fight without a subordinate master and retinue.

It's not that they can't fight on foot, on the contrary, they have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and their strength in armor and foot combat is much higher than that of those apprentice farmers.

In many cases, when the defense or siege of a city reached a critical juncture, it was these soldiers who wore armor and foot combat to complete the final blow.

When they got into the chariot, they were charioteers, and when they got off the chariot, they could rely on the spear and short sword to charge into battle.

Unlike those apprentices, soldiers who have received military training since childhood, if they are concentrated, can maintain a formation for a longer time than apprentices, but in terms of discipline they are still much worse than those of the well-organized ink warriors, and the ability of a single person is okay.

After another three or five days, there were nearly 100 taxis gathered here, and the high-level leaders of the ink master finally appeared.

Gongsun Ze looked up and found that Shi Ye was with Mo Zhai, standing in front of him, and he was very dissatisfied.

If Mo Zhai stands above him, he can still bear it, how can he say that it is rumored that Mozi is also a child surname and has also been a doctor.

According to the Zhou rites, if the priest was still a doctor when he died, then he could be buried with the rites of a doctor, and Zhong Ni was buried with the rites of a doctor because he was not a doctor before he died.

But Mo Zhai has been a doctor, and he is still at this time, and he can also stand at the head of everyone as a scholar.

However, Shi was only a shoemaker, but he was around Mo Zhai, standing at the head of the scholars, and he couldn't help but feel that Gongsun Ze was really bad and had no rules.

If there are no rules in the world, isn't it chaos?

Just as he was about to make a statement to point out this indecency, the door was pushed open, and several people led the cattle and sheep in, and everyone present suddenly let out a whispering sound.

Cattle and sheep can be used as sacrifices, or as a meal before going to war, to boost morale.

When Song and Zheng were at war, Hua Yuan, who had contributed to the Soldiers' Meeting, was captured because of the lack of chauffeurs for food before the war. But it can also be shown that it was the habit of the Song people to reward cattle and sheep before the war.

Those who guessed that they were going to fight couldn't help but let out a buzzing sound, Mo Zhai coughed lightly, and several ink artists behind him roared in awe, telling everyone present to stop their mouths.

Mo Zhai said: "Now thirty miles outside the city, the Chu people are cutting wheat, and they can besiege the city for a longer time because of the grain. This is not allowed. ”

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted: "The method of staying in the wheat is not made by your ink masters?" If it is according to the art of Nongzheng and the old law of Shennong, where will the Chu people go to cut wheat? They have to wait a long time to harvest wheat, but your wheat is convenient for the Chu people! ”

Shi sneered and came forward: "You are a soldier of a country, but you can't stop the enemy from being outside the border city, but after being besieged by the Chu people, you will accuse the Mo of the method of staying in the wheat, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

"Are you not ashamed? This is like Qi Zhihuan Gong starved to death, hiding his face with his sleeves and thinking that he was ashamed to see Guan Zhong, is it according to what you said, Huan Gong actually wanted to scold Guan Zhong for not killing Yi Ya before he died? ”

"The Chu people have been driving straight in, but you can't fight in the field, according to what you said, the monarch let you plough on your behalf, practice archery and Ge Fa, and now the Chu people are besieging the city, are you worthy of your Yulu?"

Under his angry reprimand, those people couldn't refute it, and Gongsun Ze was also quite dissatisfied with those people, and said in his heart: "What he said makes sense." I don't look down on everyone here, I should be ashamed of the fact that the country is surrounded by money! ”

He is a gentleman, and he is naturally out of place.

opposes the morality of the Mohists, but looks down on these incompetent people, and is in the middle.

If shame is also hierarchical, then it must be related to obligation.

For the peasants, the kingdom is besieged, and they don't need to be too ashamed, after all, there are still meat eaters. And the incompetence of the meat eaters led to the siege of the capital, and out of the power they enjoyed before, they must also be the most ashamed of the group.

After everyone was quiet again, Mo Zhai said again: "Now the Chu people are besieging but not attacking, and there is no counterattack in the city, so you can calmly cut wheat." Therefore, this requires someone to go out of the city to attack the battle, so that the Chu people are frightened, so as to mobilize the wheat cutting troops to defend. ”

"One less Chu person to cut wheat can make one less person support for several months, and in the end it is still beneficial to defend the city."

"Duke Song asked me to defend the city, I am responsible for everything, you have rested here for a few days, and today you will kill cattle and sheep as a reward, and go out of the city to attack!"

There was a mockery from the crowd and asked, "How many people are out of the ink master?" ”

Mo Zhai naturally replied: "Three people lead, and there are no more people." ”

Coax......

The scholars laughed, and a funny man got up and played his sword and sang, only singing: "Zhibi Beishan, the words are clear." With the scholars, engaged day and night. The king is worried about my parents. ”
