Chapter 351
Tian Yuan Forced and Cornered
Chapter 351
Some of these tourists fully agree with the morality of Mohism, but some are pure speculators.
There are also some people who are dissatisfied with the cumbersome rules within the Mohist school and are unwilling to join the Mohist family.
Among the many tourists who flocked to Pei County, only a fraction of them actually joined the Mohist school. Most of them were just "friends" of the Mohist family, and it was difficult to be regarded as a real Mohist.
Moreover, there are also some people in the Mohist family who are eager to become officials.
These people are different from Shengchao. They will not betray the righteousness of the Mohist school, but they think that they can be an official to dissuade the king.
If the Mohists adopt methods such as cooperating with the king in an all-round way, helping reforms, building the Great Wall and fortresses to promote non-attacks, etc., these Mohists will greatly support it.
Some tourists who went to Pei County were blocked from the Mohism by the cumbersome rules and assessments of the Mohists, which also made Wei Yue think that the Mohism's policies were a bit too strict.
He believes that under the current situation, it is not necessary to have so many rules, but to expand the scale of Mohism by taking advantage of the current technical and academic advantages of Mohism.
As long as you are a traveler who recognizes the morality of the Mohist school, you can be counted as a Mohist, and you don't need so many rules to restrain you.When it benefits the world in the future, they can all be counted as one of their own.
In this way, if they can become officials on a large scale in the future, these tourists who recognize the morality of the Mohist school, relying on the technology and knowledge of the Mohist school to take the lead, must be "talented", filling the officials of various countries, gradually influencing the king, making them "Practice the righteousness of Mohism and govern politics."
However, in terms of economic policy, Wei Yue supports a series of appropriate policies.
Therefore, when choosing an ally, I chose Gao Sunzi's faction, and resolutely opposed Wei Yue's faction.Economic policy, at this time, is a small disagreement; whether it is an armed struggle to attack an unjust country or an official to persuade the king to maintain peace, is a big disagreement.
As for the rest of the factions, they are irrelevant at this time.
"The sages and the people work together to eat and eat, and eat and drink to rule"; "the price is not equal to the market", the utopian group who work equally and exchange the same amount of labor has a small number of people, and the internal influence of Mohism is small, only externally. have a certain impact.
The absolute peace faction that "do not fight, do not follow enmity, do not be ashamed, and do not be humiliated when insulted" has little influence within the Mohist at this time.Mozi is not dead yet, the giant with his left hand who is neither attacking nor fighting, and his right hand a Mohist force interfering in the wars of various countries is still there, and this faction has no right to speak.
The school of "Jiuzhong Paradise is inevitable and related to mechanical tools, so it is better to concentrate on learning to investigate the origin of the world and develop production" is basically harmless, and given the appropriate knowledge, they are generally suitable friends.
The school of "abandoning suffering, pleasure and six desires and self-cultivation" is different from Gao Sunzi's school of self-suffering. This school recognizes the school of pure spiritual construction that "love each other is the only basis for mutual benefit". , is completely different from Gao Sunzi’s faction that “Mohists should suffer themselves to benefit the world and not enjoy it”, but recognizes that “Mohists are different from the people”, and their influence is not great...
The faction that "respects the heavens and respects the ghosts", "respects the hearts of the world", and "ghosts and gods observe the good and evil of the world" has fewer people at this time.The suitable theory of heavenly ghosts abolishes the foundation of ghosts, gods and heavenly emperors having a view of good and evil. Mozi's attitude is ambiguous and he does not object, which in itself is meaningless.
Then there is the remaining group of "If you don't raise an issue, announce to the world, abolish the old system, reform the system, and attack injustice", they belong to the radical faction, and you can explain the truth clearly, and you can get them to continue to endure for the time being.But at least it is impossible for this faction to merge with Wei Yue's.
None of these branches of Mohism can be said to be wrong. Their theories all originated from Mozi.
However, it takes a process for a person's theory to mature. Many of them are the thoughts of Mo Zi when he was in his 20s, some are the thoughts of 34 years old, and some are the thoughts of his old age.
The ages of the disciples are also different, and they have different emphases, which has also created many differences in thinking.
This kind of disagreement had already appeared before the reorganization of Shangqiu, but Mozi could completely suppress it with his prestige.
After obtaining the support of Gao grandson, he began to prepare for this big event in September.
In addition to normal tasks and teaching every day, I light up the lamp and read at night. I carefully recite the remarks of "Mozi" compiled by myself as a secretary, and find arguments that conform to my own set of logic, and find chapters and excerpts. .
…………
At the time when Tengdi was looking for chapters and excerpts, Mozi was also studying in Peixian County.
A slight cough shattered the silence of the night, and the dim yellow stagnant candlelight seemed to be shaken by the cough.
In Mozi's hands, he held the second half of "Mojia's Paradise Land A, B, C, and D". The previous volume only talked about some superficial and simple issues, and the latter volume was the truly terrifying content.
If it spreads out, the princes of the world will all exclaim that the Mohists want to change the old and reform the world completely, and they will definitely be tolerated by the nobles of the world.
This volume is suitable for writing, and it has not yet been printed. Only a few people have read it, and Mozi is currently reading it.
After integrating his lifelong pursuits, dreams, and experiences, he read this book extremely thoroughly, and kept nodding his head to confirm that what he thought was right, there was a complete system.
The things depicted in it can be completely understood and imagined by Mozi, because he stands at a higher level than the current era.
Coughing, he regretted that he had never met those two "Mr. Sai" and "Mr. Tang Han", so he could not have read these theories earlier, otherwise why would he be righteous from the age of 20 to 70? become?
The strong man who used to be able to travel hundreds of miles a day in straw sandals is now very old, and every cough makes him anxious.
Changsang Jun told him that his body had already collapsed, and he might not last for two years.
Mozi is not afraid of death. The Mohist burial festival is very indifferent to life and death, and the rest is just some worries.
September is coming, and this gathering, to put it mildly, is a debate on the internal line of the Mohist school.
On a larger scale, it is the beginning of Mozi's complete abandonment of some previous ideas, and it is also a pavement for how the Mohist family should go after Mozi's death.
When Shangqiu was reorganized a few years ago, Mozi was preparing for his death.
He, Mo Di, can die, but the morality of the Mohist school cannot be broken, so he is not afraid of death, but he is only afraid that the morality of the Mohist school will not be able to achieve "same meaning between upper and lower levels" before death.
Mozi can clearly see the internal factions of the Mohist school, and the discussions in the past few years have never stopped, and internal differences of opinion have always been directly debated in the open.
Shi had argued with Gao Sunzi, Bian 54 had argued with Wei Yue, Wumabo had argued with Gongzaoye...all these are normal in Mozi's view, this is a Mohism full of vitality and can last forever.
Regarding Wei Yue's thoughts, Mozi did not agree with him or not, but he would not personally criticize Wei Yue, but slipped the problem into this expanded gathering.
Just as Shi Shi guessed, the expanded discussion at the gathering this time was to prepare for his own afterlife, and it was Mozi who wanted to give Shi a final push.
Because when the Shangqiu Mohists were reorganized, the system in which Qiwuhai was synonymous with committee members and superiors and subordinates had the function of correcting errors.
Mozi doesn't care about his own right or wrong, and he doesn't want to use his own prestige to quell this matter, but hopes to rely on the internal rules of the Mohist school to correct mistakes, so as to leave a Mohist school that can still function perfectly and purify itself even if Mozi dies .
At the beginning of the establishment of the Qiwuhai, committee members, and layer-by-layer representative system, it was explained.
"Bai Zhou" once said: "Speak quietly and think about it, and you will have a good understanding."Enlightenment, awakening to consciousness, reminding people, and supervising right and wrong. "
Harm, Mozi once said: Harm: gaining what is right and doing evil is harm.Its benefits are not true.It is the thing that Mohist hates the most.
Qiwuhai itself has the responsibility and responsibility of a master of error correction.
And those who selected Qiwuhai also had the right to select the giants they recognized on the basis of the righteousness of the Mohist school.
Mozi understands, and Qin Huali himself understands that the next giant is just a transition, and the hope of the Mo family is that in ten years' time, the group of children studying in the township school in Pei County will grow up.
Mozi wanted to settle some unrealistic fantasies he had before, but he couldn't do it by himself, because he didn't want people to perish, so he had to rely on some internal rules of the Mohist school.
And before he died, let this rule shine with infinite luster, so as to completely stabilize the Mohist rules.
The conversation he had with Qin Huali itself meant exactly this: the Mohist school must rely on the will of Heaven and its logical reasoning system if it wants to be invincible in the world; the Mohist school must rely on the Mohist school's internal perfection A series of rules.
If he came forward to oppose Wei Yue and accuse Wei Yue, he would only come forward when these people were completely defeated, otherwise he still hoped to rely on the rules themselves to perfect the purification.
In addition to the system itself, Mozi also has his own judgments and ideas about the candidates for the Mohists after Qin Huali.
Between Qiwuhai and those alternate Wuhai, Mozi knows everyone's personality clearly.
Shi is the most capable young man, a master of propaganda and agitation, and the only one who can compile his words from "separate words" into a complete theoretical system.He is usually kind and will not give in when encountering problems. He is very principled and is very popular within the Mohist school.However, it is difficult to say that some of his ideas are completely consistent with his own, and there are many things of his own mixed in.
Meng Sheng is too chivalrous, he is absolutely loyal to the Mohists, and sometimes he can't see through the issues of moral theory.He usually has a good reputation, and he was the No. 1 among the third generation of Mohists before he joined. However, he has been in Chu after the Shangqiu reunion, and his reputation for the great development of Mohism in Peixian County is not obvious, and he cannot convince the public.
The public system is rough and fine, and it can govern a party and conquer an army, but its personality is too sharp and its ideas are a bit old-fashioned.He is an excellent performer, but not a qualified guide.
Mo Chengzi is keen on administrative means and the legal system, but he cannot make a decision on the major choices that Mohists will face in the future.
Gao Sunzi suffers from extreme suffering and has the world in mind, but he is too old and too persistent, with clear love and hate, and fierce words.He is an excellent inspector, but he is not suitable to be a giant who can maintain the unity of the Mohists.
Wei Yue's ideas cannot keep pace with the times, and some hope too much for the princes and nobles. This is his theory when he was about 30 years old. Now it seems that the Mohists don't need to take this road at all.
Debating 54 is very talented in eloquence, but too entangled in the technique of ink debate, caring too much about the minutiae, and lacking a grasp of the general direction.
... The appearance and character of each disciple flashed in Mozi's mind, no one has all advantages and no disadvantages.
But Mozi knew very well what kind of advantages and what kind of shortcomings he could tolerate for the position of Juzi.
