There was silence for a moment.
Although Qiang's official position was the governor of Xinzheng County in Qin State, he was truly an important minister. But in front of the master and two nicknamed guests, he felt that he was not worthy of arguing.
Although Gui Guzi was qualified to participate in this discussion, for some reason, he still did not express his opinion after being deliberately pointed out by Ying Chengyu.
After the Confucian Xun Qing, the Legalist Han Fei, and the miscellaneous scholar Lu Buwei were sent to the outside world to govern, there were not many disciples left who could discuss how to govern the country with Ying Chengyu.
The Mohist giant looked directly at his master, with disappointment in his eyes, as if he had just met Ying Chenglong.
"Do you want to sit on your chair, or should you leave it to the public?"
The scientist who asked this question didn't even want Ying Chengxuan to answer, and gave his own answer without any pause.
"Your chair has been placed by a noble!"
The Mohist giant, who is not good at words, is so loud that his beard and hair are spread out!
"There are still peasants who are not allowed to eat bread, but your Majesty says four dishes and one soup? One stone of wealth in the world flows into the great officials, princes, eight dou of emperors, one dou of businessmen, and one dou of common people. Are the people who can eat four vegetables and one soup still the common people? Your Majesty? What you said is absolutely ridiculous! Your Majesty, the place where you want to keep your feet firmly on the ground is Danchi!"
"Those who can eat four dishes and one soup are not common people, but those who want to eat four dishes and one soup are common people."
"No, he is a doctor! The common people have no money, and it is a blessing to have enough food. Why do they think about the daily eclipse, four dishes and one soup!"
"Let me ask you, what do people think when they have a full stomach? Are they satisfied with this? Is it better to live without desire?"
“Those who are not worried about food and clothing should think about how to use them sparingly, so that those who have no food and no clothing will have food and clothing.”
"Why?!"
Ying Chengyu, who had always been in a good voice and was talking slowly on the chair, stopped shouting angrily, slapped his palms on the armrests of the chair, and stood up.
"Why should I give my food to others to eat and my clothes to others to wear?"
Wow~
As soon as his butt lifted off the seat, the chair made of hardwood beneath him immediately fell apart and collapsed into pieces.
Sheriff Qiang stood up immediately without thinking.
Guiguzi saw Qiang getting up and followed him.
Not pursuing stories, the Mohist giant, who is usually very discerning, showed no signs of exerting force on his feet and sat calmly.
"Because this can make the world unified and bring great order to the world! There are only two words that can save the world.
“Jianai!
"One cannot treat his wife as starving and with no clothes to cover her body. This is love. If you love others equally and treat other people's wives as your own wives and children, you should not treat them as one's own children! Love has no closeness, alienation or closeness. What is private is temporary, and what is public is public. Forever!”
[Young Master, go away safely. I will take care of your wife? I didn't expect that you, the scientist with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is also a thief. ]
Ying Chengyu, who was pretending to be angry, almost blurted out, trying not to laugh out loud. I was afraid of opening my mouth and breaking my skills, so I kept a straight face and said nothing.
When the scientist saw that Yingcheng was as silent as a dragon, and his face looked better, he thought that his Majesty had been rendered speechless by him, so he immediately pursued the victory.
When Ying Chengyu left Xianyang and came to Xinzheng, most of his followers were happy, including the scientists.
Xianyang was the territory of the First Emperor and the territory of the Legalists. The Qin State did not agree with the Legalist rule of the country, and did not agree with the Mohist giants who ruled the world today. They wanted a prosperous age where all people were equal and had enough food and clothing to wear.
But now is what he thinks is the best opportunity. He wants to persuade Ying Chengyu, who is currently in a state of hesitation, to govern the country with ink.
"Countries attack each other, families rob each other, and people kill each other. There is no kindness and loyalty between kings and ministers, no love and filial piety between father and son, and no harmony between brothers. Coordination, these are the harm to the world, if you want to get rid of them, you can only have universal love."
The scientist who calls himself Qin Mo has never said so many words at once. He paused slightly, brewed up his full emotions, and said in one breath:
“The princes only love their own country and not other people’s countries, so they have no scruples in mobilizing the power of their own country to attack other people’s countries.
“The family leader only loves his own family and not other people’s families, so he has no scruples in mobilizing the power of his own family to plunder other people’s families.
“People only know how to love themselves but not others, so they use all their strength to harm others without any scruples.
"Therefore, if the princes do not love each other, there will be wild wars; if the family heads do not love all, they will rob each other; if people do not love each other, they will kill each other.
“If the king and his ministers do not love each other, they will certainly not be willing to benefit and be loyal to each other; if the father and the son do not love each other, they will not be loving and filial to each other; if the brother and the younger brother do not love each other, they will not be harmonious and harmonious with each other.
“No one in the world loves everyone. The strong will control the weak, the rich will bully the poor, the noble will look down on the humble, and the smart will deceive the stupid.
“All the disasters, plunders, complaints, and resentments in the world are caused by the lack of universal love.
"If the princes treat other people's countries as their own, there will be no wild wars. If the family leader treats other people's families as if he treats his own, there will be no plundering. If he treats other people as he treats his own, there will be no killings.
“If a king and his ministers love each other, they will benefit and be loyal to each other; if a father and his son love each other, they will be loving and filial to each other; if brothers love each other, they will be harmonious and harmonious with each other.
"Everyone loves everyone, so the strong help the weak, the rich help the poor, the noble educate the humble, the wise educate the stupid.
"In this way, everyone is equal, the world is in great order, and there is no harm. The world loves each other, and it is natural for us to benefit from each other!"
If these words were not said by a great master of the Mohist family, if they were spoken by any other person, even if they came from such famous figures as Guiguzi, Xunzi, Han Feizi, and Lu Buwei, Ying Chengyu would have thought it was nonsense.
Just say on the spot, don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. Why should you impose on others things that you don’t want to do yourself? Wait until you can do it yourself.
But facing the scientist who was red-faced after talking too much and stubbornly refused to get up from his chair, Ying Chengyu couldn't say these words.
Because scientists are really practicing what they say. Eating simple meals and wearing linen clothes, he could obviously live a more comfortable life than 99% of people in the world, but he still had to live a life that could only sustain life.
Not drinking, not going to the terraces, not eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, this is how scientists have lived for decades.
But most of the Mohist disciples are like him, living like ascetics of later generations.
What is different from ascetics is that enduring hardship is the purpose of ascetics. Most ascetics believe that the suffering in the world is limited. If they suffer more, others will suffer less. They can gain spiritual wealth through this kind of ascetic practice.
This is not the case with the Mohists. The Mohists do not say that enduring hardship means doing good deeds. The purpose of frugality is to save excess money to help the world and save the people, not just to frugal oneself and everything will be fine. The Mohist school never had a theory of benefiting only oneself. The Mohist school could only benefit the world.
To be born in the world, live in seclusion, and not care about worldly affairs is the Taoist theory. All Mohist knowledge is worldly knowledge. If it is separated from the people, Mohism will cease to exist.
After listening to the scientists' discussion, Ying Chengyu had already passed the time to laugh, and said with a stern face:
"From a theoretical perspective, this is feasible, but this theory is just based on theory. I said you are too noble and not down-to-earth because you are divorced from reality and can only dream. Not everyone is as selfless and dedicated to the cause as you are. Gong. Zhuangzi commented that Mozi was good in the world, and that Mohism was bad in the world. This is why Zhuangzi commented on it.
"Marie was born as a slave, and as soon as he gained power, he immediately attacked his concubines who were also slaves. His methods were more ruthless than those of nobles of noble birth. I can't feel pity for people of the same background because of my experience and empathy. How do you want everyone in the world to love each other? The word "universal love" simply cannot be achieved!"
Qiang was very angry when he saw Ying Chengxuan. As a county guard, he knew how difficult it was to resist temptation. As a secret guard, he was pragmatic and disgusted with hypocrisy. After listening for so long, he believed that what Ying Chengxuan said was reasonable, so he spoke out for the first time. :
"Since Mozi founded the Mohist school, no country has ever been governed by Mohism."
Guiguzi nodded slightly.
[Your Majesty said, the difference is inseparable. Mohist giants are good people, and Mohism is a good doctrine. But as long as the Mohists want to change people, they will never be able to achieve it. Those who can fully implement the Mohist philosophy are not regarded as human beings, but as saints. The death of Marxism-Leninism now seems to be a well-deserved death, which has made you see many things clearly. ]
Due to the scientist's face, Guiguzi did not express his agreement vocally, but scientists could also see Guiguzi's thoughts from his performance.
The scientist who always believed that Guiguzi was the source of the disaster didn't care what Guiguzi thought, but he did care what his superior thought.
There are four people present, and Qiang has clearly agreed with the Lord. The scientist was worried about Guiguzi's performance, which made the king more sure of his judgment and sentenced the Mo family to death. He said in a hasty tone:
"This statement is wrong. The reason why the world did not love universal love before was because there was no emperor, and the princes knew the benefits of universal love. The superiors did not implement it, and the inferiors did not follow. The emperor was the first to do it in Han Dynasty, and he will follow. From this point of view, human nature can be changed, likes and dislikes can be changed.
"For example, siege a city, fight in the field, and kill for fame. These are things that are difficult for the common people in the world to do. But if the princes like it, then the scholars can do it.
"Qin conquered the world, and the King of Qin became the emperor from the princes. Isn't it precisely because the King of Qin likes to fight and attack cities and plunder lands that the people are willing to sacrifice their lives?
"In the past, Duke Wen of Jin liked the scholars to wear clothes that were disgusting to the people at that time, so his ministers all wore furs sewn from ewe's skin, with swords hung around cowhide belts, and hats made of cooked silk.
"This dress is not in line with the etiquette. It is not allowed to go to the emperor and go to and from the court. What is the reason? Because the emperor likes this, so the ministers do this.
“In the past, King Ling of Chu liked people with thin waists, so his servants would eat a meal to go on a diet, collect their anger, then put on their belts, and hold on to the wall before they could stand up.
"After one year, all the ministers in the court were so thin that their faces turned dark. What is the reason for this? Because the monarch likes this, so the ministers can do this.
"In the past, King Gou Jian of Yue loved the bravery of his soldiers. When training his subordinates, he would first gather them together, then set fire to the ship, and test his soldiers, saying: 'All the treasures of Yue are in this ship.'
"The King of Yue personally beat the drums to let the soldiers advance. When the soldiers heard the sound of the drums, they rushed to the front and disrupted the team. More than a hundred of the soldiers who died in the fire died, so the King of Yue gave them gold to let them retreat.
"So, eating less, wearing bad clothes, and committing suicide to become famous are all things that are difficult for the common people in the world to do. But if the monarch likes it, then the people can do it.
"Compared with mutual love and mutual benefit, it is completely different. It is something that the people are willing to do, and it is a good thing. Because anyone who loves others will be loved by others. Anyone who is beneficial to others will be loved by others. And it will benefit him immediately. If someone hates others, others will hate him immediately. If he harms others, others will harm him immediately.
"What is the difficulty in practicing this kind of universal love? It's just that the king in the upper position does not need to implement universal love in politics, the scholars do not need to implement universal love in practice, and the people do not need to implement universal love in practice."
Ying Chengyu groaned.
[The Mohist thought is somewhat similar to the original eldest nephew thought, both of which are salvation. But unlike the eldest nephew, Mohism does not think of the Holy Mother. Those who kill will be killed and those who injure will be punished. The Mohist family is the best among a hundred people who can lift a sword. ]
[And there is nothing wrong with this set of logic. It will be quite explosive in future generations. If you want scientists to wake up like me, you can't just say it. If I hadn't experienced the two events of veterans asking for help and the drastic changes in Marxism-Leninism, I would still be stubborn. ]
"You convinced me, I can't refute you. I'll give you a chance, and I'll give my past self a chance. Yiyang, do you dare to go?"
Except for Xinzheng, everything in South Korea is currently very uneventful.
The old aristocracy of Korea and the locally promoted rulers were completely burned by the fire of the first peasant uprising because of their greed.
Under this situation, Lu Buwei, who was originally in charge, successfully returned to Xianyang, but the First Emperor refused to send officials, and the cities in Han were leaderless.
Although there are elites from the chamber of commerce here, they are still okay when the survival of the people is in question. Win over local people with good moral standing, stabilize food prices, and establish schools.
After getting out of the life-and-death crisis, ambitious people in major cities secretly began to stir up trouble with the words "Princes, generals, ministers, would rather have their own kind", hoping to seize power during the power vacuum period in Korea and become a new noble.
This is human nature.
In any group that is made up of people, there will always be people who want to stand out, rise up, and are unwilling to accept the status quo. Fighting to eat the best food, drink the strongest wine, and sleep with the most beautiful women.
Yiyang is the most chaotic place.
Two reasons.
First, under the original rule of a violent family, Yiyang was not as good as Xinzheng, but it was still considered wealthy and ranked among the top three in Korea. Full, warm and lustful, there is soil for the birth of ambition.
Second, this is the place where the first shot of the peasant uprising was fired. The first sentence "Princes, generals, ministers, would rather have seeds" was shouted here. Some people use this to promote that this is the destiny of heaven.
"dare!"
The scientist stood up suddenly and responded immediately, showing no fear but full of joy.
Mohism has never been used to govern a country, nor has it been used to govern a local area.
During the most glorious period of the Mohist school, the first generation of great master Mo Zhai led a group of Mohists to achieve what his generation of scientists had failed to accomplish. This was a big step forward for the Mohist school.
"If you can use ink to rule Yiyang, I promise you to use ink to rule Korea. If you can use ink to rule Korea, I want my brother to make you the prime minister. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will listen to your orders, and I will allow you to use ink to rule the country!"
