In fact, there is no shortage of such people in the world who ask Xu Xi rhetorically.

At least 20 years ago, there were hundreds of pure Mohists who worked for the benefit of the world, braved the wind and rain, and died without whirling, and later there were thousands.

At least now, there are more than 1,000 people in the peasant family who are full of ideals, true equality, and compassion.

It looks like a lot, but Zhuxia is too big, and the large more than 1,000 people in it are like the stones that Jingwei threw into the East China Sea.

Therefore, what the Mohists want to do and have been doing is not simply rebellion, but to change the material foundation and class attributes of the world, so that the number of people in the vanguard increases, and the number of people who fight for the interests of their own class is increasing.

The Mo family was not a peasant family, because the Mo family was a theory of interest for urban craftsmen, industrialists and merchants from the very beginning.

Up to now, Xu Xi looked at the "social survey" given to him by the Mo family about the townships that the farmer would govern in the future, and Xu Xi seemed to understand why the Mo family sent them here.

Xu Xi took the gourd filled with water from his disciple, and after taking a sip of water, he suddenly asked his son Xu Xingdao: "What do you think, what is a farmer?" ”

Xu Xing didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "The peasants are very bitter and poor, and they have undertaken the labor, food, and military service in the world, and they are also the most affected by the war in the world. ”

Xu Xi smiled, put down the gourd holding water, looked at the yellowed fields and cultivated fields in the distance, and sighed bitterly: "You have learned the numbers in Sishang, those strange but very useful counting symbols. ”

"What is a farmer? The farmer is the zero of the strange numbers used in Sigami. ”

"A hundred zeros, a thousand zeros, ten thousand zeros, or zeros."

"Zero-sum is important, but what is more important is the one-two-three-four-five in front of zero."

"Otherwise, no matter how many zeros there are, they will still be zeros."

Xu Xing has learned the nine numbers in Sishang, and he has also learned those strange numbers that are different from the previous nine numbers, but are more convenient to write and calculate.

Zero is a magical presence in those numbers.

His father seemed to be right, no matter how many zeros there were, it was still zeros, and what mattered was the number in front of many zeros.

Xu Xing asked, "Father still thinks that the farmers in the world need sages?" ”

Xu Xi nodded and said, "Yes." The monarch is one, two, three, and those zeros in the back will make the monarch stronger; The real sage is one, two, three, in the front, then the zero itself in the back also has meaning. ”

"This is true of the farmers of the Song Kingdom, and the same is true of the farmers of Wei, Chu and Hanqi. Those of us who have compassion and a heart to make the farmer's life better, so we can make the farmer's life better. In fact, if the monarch of the world has this heart, it is the same. ”

"I've been wondering, is the Mo family the right way to go? In the future, if there is no monarch, or the selection of a wise man as the Son of Heaven, who will restrain the merchants and workshop owners? ”

"Relying on one zero after another? No matter how many zeros there are, they are still zeros, and they are nothing. ”

"The number before zero can be one or two. I hope that there is a force that can suppress the mercenary businessmen. ”

Xu Xing has been in Sishang for the past few years, has read many books of the Mo family, listened to many speeches of the Mo family, and read too many Mo family newspapers, but he has some objections to his father's words.

Even if my father is right, the farmer is indeed one zero after another, but Sishang's approach is to rely on reason and heavenly will, not based on human will but on heavenly will as a reason, to figure out which one, two, three, four, five are in front of zero.

Xu Xing believes in the words of the Mo family, there may be Dayu Shangtang in the world, but there may also be Xia Wei Shangxuan, only the will of heaven is eternal, people should follow the way of heaven, follow the sky, and the Tao is natural, rather than pinning the hope of the world on the holy king of civil and martial arts.

If there is a Heavenly Will, if it is in line with the Heavenly Will, everyone can become a Holy King, and the difference between the Holy King and ordinary people may only be because the Holy King's Dao Law is naturally in line with the Heavenly Will.

But Tianzhi's rational reasoning is exactly what the peasants lack, and it is also the main reason why the Mohists criticize the peasants and say that they are utopian.

Hearing what his father said, Xu Xing asked: "Father, if we try our policy in these townships and truly realize that the cultivators have their own land and the market has no price, then in fact, we are still subject to Sishang." ”

"Iron tools, for example, are not something that can be produced by one person in his spare time."

"Even if it can be produced when the farm is slack, even if our market is not at a second price, even if there are many huge profits in Sishang, it is still cheaper than our own production."

"What are we going to do? Is it used? Or not? ”

"Even now, even if the people are allocated land, they still need the help of Sishang for farm tools, ploughshares, horses and cattle."

"The Mo family said that they would repay it with grain in the future, so don't we still need a government that the Mo family called and must have?"

"The Mo family has always said that our ideas can only be realized in the state of a small country and widows, without everything external, chickens and dogs do not get along with each other, maybe it is okay."

"But the world is the world after all, we can't jump out, and we can't escape."

Xu Xi shook his head and said, "Child, you are wrong. The world is the world, if the world is divided into thousands of countries, small countries and widows, chickens and dogs smell each other and die do not get along, sages and people in various countries plough and eat together, the city is not the same price, do not communicate with each other, thousands of countries choose sages, there is no center of the world, there is no business in the four directions, is this not the world? ”

Xu Xing shook his head and said, "Father's words make sense, but I can't do it." The world shouldn't be like this, and it can't be like this. The iron of Sishang, the salt of Huaibei, the cotton of Songdi, and the seaweed ash of Xuolin in Yuedi...... The world is no longer a small country, and the widows and people will not get along with each other for old age. ”

"The Taoist so-called renunciation of wisdom and restoration of the natural state is nothing but an escape. What he escaped was the war at this time, and what he escaped was also the so-called inevitable pain of the Mo family in the future. ”

"For now, we govern the township, in fact, we can do a good job, we can really do a good job. But did my father think about it, why can we do it well? ”

How could Xu Xi not know what his son meant, and sighed: "How can I not know? Four years ago, I argued with Shizi and talked about my attempt in the farmhouse in Chudi, and Shizi said that it was because of the special care of the feudal monarch of Chu, there was no need to pay taxes and military service, but it was only better than elsewhere in Chudi. ”

"Now it's actually the same, the Mo family has military strength to guarantee, can lend us money, iron and farm tools, we only govern a few townships and not the vast world, maybe we can do a good job...... But I always feel that the world should not be what the Mo family describes, or do some roads have to be taken to cross the unfathomable ravine? ”

Xu Xing sighed: "Father, we can't do anything. Without industry and commerce, we can only be controlled by the Mo family, and we are not qualified to negotiate the price of the market. When the farmer gets the land, he wants as much as he wants, and he will plant what he wants from Sishang...... We can do the same price, but Sishang will not allow it, what price should they sell or what price, what can we do? ”

He pointed to the "social survey" and said with a wry smile: "Father, look at the survey above, apart from the land, except for the wheat, cotton, corn, and corn produced by the land, what do we have?" ”

"There are no irons, no Xuanlin, no paper and straw...... Nothing, we can't do without Sishang. ”

Xu Xing looked at his father's face, hesitated for a long time, and said very cautiously: "Actually, all this is not unsolvable, we can open our own workshop, we can learn everything in Sishang, but in that case, what is the difference between us and Sishang?" The money for the start-up and the craftsmen and workers needed for the start-up are not going to follow the same path as Sishang? ”

"But if we don't open it, we can't do it in a small country, and the widows and widows don't get along with each other, it's inseparable from Sishang, and those people in Sishang sent us here, just disgusted with our noise, just want us to understand this truth......"

Xu Xi looked at his son and asked rhetorically, "What's the truth?" ”

Xu Xingdao: "The inseparable world is the Mohist definition of the world. Small countries and widows, that is not the world that the Mo family wants. Tongwen, synonym, Tongli, north-south business exchanges, east and west interests are connected, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, commodities are passed, trade is vertical and horizontal, so that Zhao must not be Zhao, Chu must not be Chu...... This is what the Mo family has always wanted to do. ”

"Father thinks that the Mo family really wants us to realize our morality, realize our expectations for the world, and realize our ideal of sages and people working together, and the city is not the same, so that we are sent to try it in Songdi Township?"

Xu Xing bowed down and bowed solemnly: "Father, no. The Mohists just want us to be their officials, to lend our hands and do what they want, while their people are freed up for use elsewhere. ”

Xu Xi couldn't stop laughing, looked at his son, and asked rhetorically, "Is it important?" What does the Mohists want us to do, what do they see us as doing, and even use us...... Do these matter? ”

"Even if we are a few villages, at least we can realize our morality - to make the farmer's life better, although we can't do the same thing, but at least it is better than before, then even if we die here, it can be regarded as sacrificing our lives to take righteousness, and it can be regarded as going to our own righteousness."

"As for the future, we don't know what the world will be. After all, there are many farmers in the world, and when one day industry and commerce hurt the interests of farmers, our righteousness will eventually be remembered. ”

"Not now, but I believe that one day, the world will be the world of small farmers."

"One day, the sage and the people will plough and eat together, and the cultivators will have their own fields, and there will be no taxes and no taxes, and the same amount of labor will be exchanged for the same amount of goods, and the merchants will not be able to profit from the farmers, and the craftsmen will not be able to benefit from the farmers, so as to achieve true fairness and equality in Zhuxia and Kyushu. I toiled for a year, and in exchange for a thousand pounds of grain; You have worked for a year and made 100 feet of cotton cloth, so 1 foot of cotton cloth is exchanged for 10 catties of grain...... It's not like now, the weavers in Sishang produced 100 feet of cotton cloth a year, but exchanged 2,000 catties of grain, removed the cost of 1,000 catties, and bought spinning wheels to produce more than 1,000 catties, is this fair? Is this equal? ”

When Xu Xi said this, his eyes flashed with light, and his tone became more and more excited, many disciples stood beside him, fierce and fierce, even if they understood that this time the Mo family was just using them, but it still didn't matter, the important thing was that they were the same as the Mo family, they were working hard for their own righteousness, and they would do whatever it takes.

They believe that one day, the world will be the world of small farmers, and the future is not yet known.
