Shangqiu was a place of worship left by the princes after the fall of the Song Dynasty. The rest of the cities mainly belonged to Wang Ji and Luo Kingdom.
In the east corner of Shangqiu, there is a very simple wooden and stone house with thick thatch on the roof.
The courtyard wall is very tall, and the courtyard is filled with all kinds of strange-shaped utensils. Many people are piecing together the scattered objects, and from time to time they burst into cheers.
There are many people writing and drawing on the ground, and those symbols are full of a regular beauty.
There were five or six people arguing with each other in the corner. Someone was holding a piece of cracked glass and shining it in the sun.
There are also wooden mannequins one after another, and many strong men wearing only short cloth clothes and straw sandals are practicing swordsmanship and fighting skills.
A series of shouts could be heard in the courtyard from time to time. No matter who came to see them, they were a very strange group of people.
"Dong dong dong."
This was the sound of horses stepping on the ground and rolling axles, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the courtyard. Those who practiced martial arts, like soldiers who had been tested for a long time in battle, had a look of vigilance on their faces. Looking closely at the outside of the hospital, many people have already begun to prepare those strange equipment.
Then I saw a handsome-looking man driving a car. He was dressed very simply, with a short cloth coat and straw sandals. Perhaps shabby is a more appropriate description.
But he never gives off the slightest hint of cowardice. He has a resolute face and a calm and persevering temperament between his eyes and ears.
He wears a sword on his waist, like a warrior ready to draw his sword at any time, completely different from the traditional scholars from other countries.
The most eye-catching thing is the holy mark between his eyebrows. His identity is known to everyone in the world.
"It's Huai Chen!"
The crowd burst into cheers. It was obvious that Luo Huaichen had a high prestige among this group of people.
Some people walked up directly and said: "Huaichen, you are finally back. The giant has been waiting for you."
Luo Huaichen got out of the car, greeted everyone, and walked directly into the house.
Pushing the door and walking in, this is a very clean and tidy room. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say it is simple, because apart from the items necessary for life, there are only books.
There were more than a dozen people kneeling in the room, all with swords on their waists, and their attire was almost as simple.
Sitting in the middle is an extremely resolute man. His face is scratched by wind and rain, like marble. His figure is like a mountain. Just sitting there makes people look up to him. His expression His eyes are always calm, like a lake.
His name is Mo Zhai, a Mohist giant, a well-known person in Shangqiu, and a person who Luo Huaichen admires very much. He thinks that he is a sage like Laozi and Confucius.
"Huai Chen."
Seeing Luo Huaichen push the door open and walk in, everyone in the room smiled. Mo Zhai said: "Just come back and sit down."
When Luo Huaichen sat down, Mo Zhai looked at the people in the room and said in a deep voice: "Now that the world is in turmoil, Wei has defeated Qin, and wars have broken out in other countries, Mo Zhai is guarding the world to stabilize the countries.
Now that the Mohist school is growing stronger, the system is complete, and there are many and talented Mohists, it is time to serve as officials in other countries and promote the Mohist ideas. "
The establishment of the Mohist family was naturally not just for the purpose of keeping together for warmth, but also had its own political opinions.
When Luo Huaichen heard this, he said: "Big Master, if you want to spread the knowledge of Mohism, you still have to go to the Luo Kingdom Academy, where all the heroes from the world gather.
The Mohist method completely refutes Confucianism. Confucianism is the world's leading learning. Although the kings of various countries do not use royal methods, the talents of Confucian disciples are recognized.
The Luo Kingdom Academy was the headquarters of the Confucian scholars. If the Confucian scholars were defeated there, the power of the Mohist school would immediately be revealed to other countries.
Mohists understand the law and uphold justice, and are skilled in craftsmanship. They are not inferior to the Gongshu lineage. No matter which country they enter, they can be strong. Mohists are loyal and not afraid of death. This is what the monarchs of all countries need.
The Mohist school was a prominent school in the world. "
The fastest way to become famous is to find a stepping stone that is already famous. If this stepping stone is also your opponent, so much the better.
It just so happens that Mohist theory basically refutes Confucianism in every aspect, and it is best to use Confucianism as a stepping stone.
Luo Huaichen's words made everyone in the wooden house very emotional, and going to Luo Country was also their wish.
The Mohists mainly lived in Shangqiu. Most of them were not out-of-work nobles, but craftsmen. Although they were not as hard as the farmers, they still needed to work every day.
Naturally they knew the reputation of the Luo Kingdom Academy, especially since Luo Huaichen himself was a royal official of the Luo Kingdom. When Mo Zhai and others were compiling Mohist classics, Luo Huaichen often talked to them about the policies of the Luo Kingdom, which made them I yearn for Luo Kingdom.
As for Luo Huaichen, as a Mohist, he has to think about the Mohist family. As a descendant of the Luo Kingdom, he also has to plan for the Luo Kingdom.
It has been many years since he left the Luo Kingdom. He originally traveled among various countries until he discovered the Mohist family, an organization born from craftsmen.
After a brief understanding, he ended his travels, stayed in Shangqiu, and joined the Mohist family, because he thought this was the most valuable discovery.
Mohism is a completely different school from traditional schools such as Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism.
Mo Zhai was originally a Confucian scholar, but he established Mohism, a school of thought that opposed Confucianism in every aspect.
The Mohist organization's tight organization and strict discipline are not inferior to the best armies. The members who join the organization have a firm belief that is rare in the world.
This is a group of idealists!
After Luo Huaichen saw the Mo family's mechanism skills and logic, the idea of packing the Mo family back to the Luo Kingdom completely arose in his mind.
He believes that such a group of people, who are no less than talented people in terms of theoretical level and practical operation, should not waste their lives in battles between people.
There are already enough people in the world who spend their energy on the art of governance, and there is no shortage of the Mohist branch. Their doctrines should be passed down to all generations.
It is indeed a great ideal to love all without attacking, but even King Su could not achieve it. King Su loved his descendants the most, then the Zhou people, and then the people of the Xia Dynasty, and clearly despised the barbarians.
But this is Mo Zhe's belief. He cannot change it and can only try his best to mediate it.
"Luo Kingdom."
Mo Di pondered, he knew that Luo Huaichen, as a descendant of the Luo Kingdom, had always wanted the Mo family to join Luo.
The reason why he did not go to the Luo Kingdom was just because he believed that the Luo Kingdom did not need the Mohist family, and that the Luo Kingdom had already done a good job, and there was no need for him to persuade the king of the Luo Kingdom.
In the classics of various schools, the Luo Kingdom is often cited as an example, and many of Mo Zhai's thoughts are based on the reality of King Su and the Luo Kingdom.
For example, Tianzhi and Minggui were inspired by the Luo Kingdom. The Luo Kingdom was the only country that had not produced a single tyrannical king for nearly 800 years. Every Luo Hou was able to treat his people well.
Mo Zhai believed that this was because Luo Guogong believed in the existence of King Su, so he was able to restrain his own behavior.
He compared heaven to a personal god with thoughts and would respond according to people's good and evil, hoping to use this to restrain the king's virtue.
Mo Zhai believed in human power, but he spent a lot of examples to demonstrate the existence of ghosts and gods. Essentially, he did not intend to overthrow atheism, but hoped to restrain human behavior through supernatural power.
Luo Huaichen said seriously: "Master, you know that I am a descendant of the Luo Kingdom. For the sake of the world, you should go to the Luo Kingdom.
There are countless annotations on scriptures and biographies in the Luo Kingdom's Tibetan Room. Both Laozi and Confucius entered the Tibetan Room and read all the books in the world, and were eventually respected by the world.
I am willing to recommend you to the king. With your talents, you will definitely be able to enter the treasure room.
Although you don't value false reputations, don't you also care about the thickness of Mohist classics?
Mohism's reasoning is invincible. It is not like the cunning words and deceit of politicians, but factual reasoning. This is where Mohism far surpasses other schools of thought and should be continued to be developed and studied in depth.
After you enter the treasure room, you will be able to see the thinking of the most intelligent people in the past 800 years on the situation of the world, and how the world got to where it is now step by step. This is countless wisdom, as long as you can appreciate it. As a result, Mohist theory can become rich rapidly.
Today's Mohist thought is still heavily influenced by Confucianism, especially the three chapters of "Friends, Self-cultivation, and Sui Dye", which have extremely strong Confucian implications.
This is the remaining habit of studying Confucianism in your early years. You must be dissatisfied. After entering the collection room, you will find that the so-called residue of Confucianism is not worth mentioning. "
The children of Luo Guogong also had their own preferences for theories, just like Luo Li preferred Guan Zhong's studies, Ming Gong Luo Xiu preferred the royal way, and Luo Huaichen was not interested in either path.
He always felt that there was something wrong with Confucian theory. Until he met Mo Zhai, he finally understood that Confucian theory still needed to be reformed.
Living in the Luo Kingdom all this time has made Confucian theory somewhat confusing, but the Mohists will make them down to earth.
What attracted Luo Huaichen the most was the Mohist family's ability in transforming equipment. The agricultural tools transformed by the Mohists and the city defense tools they created were all sharp weapons that could change the situation in the world.
I went into the mountains today. I was too busy and got off work late~
In fact, Mohism has always been my intention to write, and it is probably the longest among all the scholars. However, Mohism is quite special, so I have to think carefully about the writing technique.
