Chapter 325: Borrowing the Power to Restore the Country Is Not as Good as Before (4)
When I first met Kitt, Kitt had just returned from the field with a hoe.
The hoe is iron, and the person who hired him to help with the farming bought back a lot of iron farming tools from Pei County, and there are four cows and two horses at home.
Nowadays, the population is not too large, so there is a shortage of labor, and Jite's life with people helping farmers is not bad, at least he can maintain a starvation without dying.
In order to make ends meet, most landless people choose to sell their labor power in different time periods. When they can't sustain themselves, they can only choose to sell themselves as servants and slaves at one time, and Kitt has not been so miserable for the time being.
After looking at it, he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he was only about thirteen or fourteen years old when he destroyed the country, so he could probably recognize words, and he should have received a good education when he was young.
The once noble blood could not prevent his skin from turning black and dry under the scorching sun. The expression was not wooden, and when he saw Shi coming, he hurriedly said hello, and looked at Teng Shuyu, his eyes were full of doubts.
Teng Shuyu hurriedly introduced, looked at the nobleman in front of him more than ten years ago, and said with a smile: "The crops are hard, do you know where the meals when you were young come from now, right?" ”
Ji Te grinned, and his level of speech was still much higher than that of Shi, and he said abruptly: "The sage and the people plough and eat together, and they rule by feasting, so as to rule the world." ”
"If a monarch has a storehouse for storing grain and a treasury for storing money, that is, to provide for himself at the expense of the people, such a king is not worthy of being virtuous."
Luo Qianli on the side was stunned, and felt that this person's idea was very good.
Shi said with a smile: "Being a farmer, busy with crops, it's not bad to have such an idea, after all, it's not a monarch, when you think like this when you hold a hoe in your hand, and when you hold a gold and jade seal in your hand, I'm afraid you don't think so." ”
Kitt didn't take it seriously, he didn't think about returning to the country at all, and it wouldn't be his turn to return to the country, and he still had a bunch of relatives in exile.
He was familiar with Teng Shuyu and knew that it was the Mo family, so he answered: "Can people's minds be changed? If I am king, I will cultivate it myself. If the so-called scholars do not plough in those years, the world may suffer from their hunger. If a woman has failed to perform in the past, the world may suffer from it. ”
Shi laughed and didn't say anything. He can't believe in promises, and he can't believe in momentary feelings, it doesn't matter what he says now, he will definitely find a way to restrain him in the future. It's naturally good to think like this, but if you don't think like this when the time comes, you will find a way to force him to think like this.
After a brief conversation, Ji Te asked Teng Shuyu, "What are you doing today?" Some friends came from afar, and they were very happy, and they should have sold some sour wine and bought a wheat cake, but unfortunately the autumn has not arrived, and the servant has not given me the money for the help, forgive me. ”
He really doesn't have much money in his hands, and autumn hasn't arrived yet, so he eats everything at the master's house, similar to long-term work. It turned out that I still needed to do work like poppy rice to get some quick money.
Shi Shi gave some private money, invited Ji Te, Teng Shuyu and others to the Mo family's restaurant, and casually ordered some wheat cakes, light wine, a small plate of peanuts boiled in salted water, and a few chili peppers that were burned with fire and smashed with salt.
After a few bites of wheat cakes, Shi found that Ji Te had already lost any aristocratic temperament, and when he ate, he devoured it, and the chopsticks that were only used to drink vegetable soup were also skillful and not sluggish.
After swallowing for a while, he said, "I came today, I just want to ask, are you willing to go to Pei County to study?" ”
Ji Te was stunned for a moment, he knew his identity, and he had also heard the Mo family's rhetoric about equality and virtue, which had an extremely interesting effect.
Theoretically he was an aristocrat.
But in fact, he was miserable, his father died in the defense of the city, and he was not a son-in-law, and the real great sects had fled.
He was helped by others and relied on his strength to eat, Teng Guo was dead, and his status as a nobleman on the side was worthless.
In fact, he is not an orthodox nobleman, theoretically an orthodox nobleman would rather starve to death than do such a thing to make a living as a servant, and besides, he doesn't even have a sword, and he may have sold it a long time ago.
So he felt a little strange when he said this, and asked, "I am not talented enough to be called a virtuous man." The Mo family has a high vision, commenting on the world's figures, and I heard that Mo Zhai thinks that unless Zhong Ni is resurrected, no one in the world can compare with him...... It's not that I don't want to study, but I don't know why I'm looking for me. ”
Shi smiled without saying a word, and asked for a while: "Do you just say to go or not?" If you go, the cost of food and lodging will be paid by the Mo family. ”
Kitt said in his heart, is this still worth thinking? Am I willing to work here with servants and toiling every day? It's just that if you don't work, you won't have anything to eat. Now that you are in charge of food and lodging, why don't I go?
Besides, eating wheat cakes, I thought of some rumors about the Mo family, and said that I always wanted to eat more wheat cakes. Although I sighed that I hoped that the sage would plow and eat with the people, at least I had a little bit of my own land.
This kind of good thing that fell from the sky, Ji Te had no reason to refuse, but he still couldn't help asking: "I have heard that the Mo family says that all people are equal regardless of the old, the young, the noble and the lowly, and all the virtuous choose the virtuous as their appointment." I also heard the poems of the Promised Land, and I hope that in the future, children will be able to read and hyphenate words......"
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "But as far as Tengdi is concerned, there are no less than dozens of people who are smarter than me. In the field ridge market, there is a lot of ingenuity...... The Mo family invited me to study in Pei County alone, didn't they care about my noble bloodline? ”
Shi laughed and said, "Your words don't make sense. ”
"In the past, the giant You Lu, the southern contempt of Lu had Wu worries, winter pottery and summer farming, comparing himself to Shun. Zi Mozi heard it and saw it. Wu Xianzi Mozi: 'Righteous ears and righteous ears, how can you use words'? Zi Mozi said: 'The so-called righteous of the son is also powerful to work people, and has wealth to divide people'? Wu Shu said: Yes. ”
Ji Te thought to himself, what this person named Wu Xi was thinking was somewhat similar to what he thought.
If we talk about equality, if we talk about doing righteousness, we should go from top to bottom and everyone should cultivate in winter and summer, then it can be regarded as true equality.
This is how he understands the equality of the Mo family, so he asks this question.
But since this story is applicable, I think the Mo family does not agree with such an average equality, so they wait for the follow-up.
Shi paused for a moment and said: "Zi Mozi asked Wu Xi, saying that he wanted to farm for the people of the world to eat, and he worked very hard, which is equivalent to a peasant's cultivation, distributing the harvest to the people of the world, and everyone can't get a liter of millet." Suppose a person can get one liter of millet, which is not enough to feed the hungry people in the world, it is obvious. I once wanted to weave clothes for the people of the world to wear, and I worked very hard, which was equivalent to a woman's weaving, distributing the cloth to the people of the world, and everyone could not get a foot of cloth. Suppose a person can get a foot of cloth, which is not enough to warm the cold people in the world, it is obvious. ”
"Zi Mozi also wanted to wear strong armor and hold sharp weapons to relieve the troubles of the princes, and worked very hard, which is equivalent to a warrior fighting. It is obvious that the operation of one soldier cannot withstand the attack of the three armies. I think it is better to read and study the doctrines of the previous kings, to understand and examine the words of the saints, and to persuade the people of the world. ”
"The prince adopted the Mohist doctrine that the country would be governed; The common people adopted the Mohist doctrine, and the character must be cultivated. Therefore, Zi Mozi thinks that even if you don't plow, you can give food to the hungry, and you can also give clothes to the cold without weaving. Therefore, I think that even if you don't farm and don't weave, the credit is better than farming and weaving. ”
"If, according to what you said, everyone is equal, everyone should naturally cultivate in winter and cultivate in summer, and do the same thing, right? This is the same as what Lu Nan Wu thought about, but it is not the knowledge of the Mo family. ”
"The knowledge of the Mo family, if the world is like building a wall, you can't let women do the work of ramming earth, you have to say that this is equality. It should not be felt that men are ramming the earth and women are just mixing muddy water, which is unequal. Everyone does what suits their own talents, and this is the great rule of the world. ”
Shi smiled and said: "The Mo family is utilitarian. It is about the trade-off between benefiting the world, big and small profits. Let's ask, what is the merit of teaching people to plow and not teaching people to plow, and not teaching people to plow alone? What is the merit of those who attack an unrighteous country by setting up a country and make the people go to war with a drum, and who does not drum and make the people go to war and go into war alone? ”
Kitt had been persuaded by Shi and replied: "Naturally, it is the person who teaches people to farm and teach people to fight. ”
Shi nodded and said: "That's the case, so the Mo family wants to talk about utilitarianism." Nowadays, it is impossible to say that everyone can read and hyphenate, so it is natural to choose a limited number of these things and invest them in the people who can benefit the world the most. ”
"We don't respect your bloodline, it's just that you have learned the knowledge of the Mo family, which can benefit more people in Tengdi."
Speaking of this, Ji Teden understood, his heart was pounding, his mouth was dry, and he asked in a low voice, "You guys...... You want ...... Want ......"
Shi smiled: "Exactly." The more people oppress and prudence, and the people of Tengdi are resentful and hateful. If you learn the knowledge of the Mohists and become the king, this is to 'teach people to plow' and 'drum and make people go to war', this is the reason why we chose you. ”
Kitt never thought about returning to the country, mainly because it didn't have much benefit to him, and it really wasn't his turn.
The cousins and cousins who have the right of orthodox inheritance are all over Chulu, and it is not his turn. Shi used the phrase "the people of Liteng Country", and said very bluntly that the Mo family wanted him to play.
Ji Te was a little flustered, feeling that the Yue people were invincible, thinking that the Yue people were also fierce tigers, and Qi Shang couldn't stop them.
But think about it again, the Mo family has become famous all over the world in the past few years, and none of the things they have planned have failed, isn't this just an opportunity? The big husband should have something to pursue, if the king of martial arts was worried about the strength of the king back then, how could this world be established?
Between a few thoughts, he had already bowed: "In this way, if it is for the people of Tengdi, I am willing to go to Pei County to study!" ”
