Chapter 806 Humiliation
"Then Song Ruo Dazhi, is it ruled by action? Or is it ruled by inaction?"
Dai Cong was puzzled by this point, he didn't understand the twists and turns.
The doorman asked back: "Young master, do you think that Sishang is governed by action or by inaction?"
Dai Cong didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Should it be regarded as governance by action? All policies, from top to bottom, can't be said to be governance by inaction."
"However, the Mohists and the Taoists are on good terms with each other, praising Taoism to follow nature and conform to the will of nature... I don't understand this again."
It's not just that he doesn't understand, many of his disciples and even many scholars in the world don't understand the difference between Sishang's inaction and action.
The guest smiled and asked by comparison: "For example, Surabaya eventually flows into the East China Sea. If you do nothing, will the water flow into the East China Sea?"
Dai Cong agreed, "Naturally."
The doorman asked again: "The current Mohists, based on the will of heaven, believe that Surabaya will eventually flow into the sea, so they float on the raft, beat the water hard, and head eastward all the way. Is this considered to be doing or not?"
"Water flows from east to east, and I try my best to let the water flow into the East China Sea. Is it promising? The water flows from east to the east, but I am reactionary and strive hard to let the water flow into the west of the wilderness. Is this considered promising?"
Dai Cong took a deep breath and seemed to understand something.
The doorman said with a smile: "Water goes east, inaction also goes east, and action also goes east. So the key is not whether inaction or action, but whether the way is east."
"The Mohist certainly recognizes Taoism's way of following nature, but that's because they feel that everything they do is the result of Tao's following nature, and they just hit the water hard in order to quickly obtain the way."
"As for doing nothing or doing something, that's just a form. For example, from Shangqiu to Pengcheng, you can get there by car, horseback, or on foot. The important thing is not to ride a car or walk, but to arrive."
Dai Cong thought of what Menke said just now, "Be a qualified lackey". clear.
The doorman said again: "I think so, if the Sishang Mo family needs cotton, then they only need to lower the price of harvested millet and reduce the tax for cotton customs clearance. Then in the next year, will those people who use farming as their occupation in the Song Dynasty want to grow more varieties?" What about cotton?"
"Then, is this action or non-action? If we talk about action, the Mohist school did not ask the village community how much cotton to plant like Sishang in the Song Dynasty; if we talk about inaction, the Mohist school actually did something. "
"If you can figure this out, you will be one step closer to being a lackey. What the Mo family wants, they will find a way to get it, but what you have to do is to rule by doing nothing, and don't ask."
Dai Cong also read a lot, and he thought that this method seems to be the Guanzi School's light and heavy learning, which uses price manipulation to guide production.
At this time, the distinction between inaction and action lies in the fact that action is strict law, and the importance of the Guanzi School...is included in inaction.
Dai Cong already understood what the disciples meant. The Mohists' control over the Song State was a new method, which had never been done before, but this attempt may not be ineffective.
In the past, the control of countries was nothing more than the support of agents, support of inheritance rights, etc., but in the end it was the prince who was supported who gave orders.
The Mohists seem to support Dai Cong as an agent, but actually require Dai Cong to do nothing and not allow him to have enough power. This is different from the previous succession wars of agents.
Dai Cong asked: "It is different from the past, why is this? Why can the Mohists do this and make it happen, but no one did it or even couldn't do it before?"
The doorman said seriously: "My lord, do you think there is a distinction between Song and Sishang? In fact, Sishang and Song have already merged into one, but there is only a distinction between the titles of Song and Sishang."
"The grain and cotton of the Song State; the ironware and linlin of Sishang; the landless people of the Song State; the businessmen of Sishang; the copper of the Song State and the money of Sishang; the clay and ash of the Song State in exchange for Sishang from Sea salt from the East Sea; charcoal and saltpeter from the Song Dynasty in exchange for the hoe and sickle from Sishang..."
"Except that it is divided into Song and Sishang in the eyes of the world, in fact it has long been one and inseparable."
"The Mohists once said that in the past, a city, a city, and a village with a hundred miles were a market. The market in Taoyi is the market in Taoyi Baili; the market in Shangqiu is the market in Shangqiu Baili."
"Nowadays, the scope of the market has expanded, from hundreds of miles to thousands of miles. The state of Song cannot be self-sufficient without the salt and iron of Sishang; the grain and cotton of the state of Song cannot be produced without Sishang..."
"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Sishang and Song Dynasty are bustling and bustling, and they are all for profit. They combine for profit, even though there are differences between Song and Sishang on the surface, they are actually one."
"Since we are one body, it is useless for you to do something or not. Every decision made by Sishang will affect Song State, and Sishang's government orders are more useful than yours, even if Sishang's government orders are not applicable to Song Dynasty. more than ten villages."
Dai Cong praised: "Be kind, and be taught."
…………
Peng Cheng, who Dai Cong thought was the emperor's father, Yue Ling, silently picked out a few garlic cloves from the food with a spoon.
He was not given chopsticks, not because he wanted to respect the nobles' habit of eating forks and spoons, but because he was afraid that he would commit suicide, so he used a very bulky wooden spoon.
This is sort of a prison cell.
There was a person standing opposite him, who was the "thief who betrayed the Lord" who caught him when he was about to die generously in front of the princes and envoys.
Seeing each other half a month later, the emperor's father Yueling was calm and ruthless, without hysterical abuse or ridicule.
The emperor's father Yueling pointed to the garlic he picked out calmly and asked, "What is this?"
"The Thief Who Betrayed the Master" said: "Gourd. Solucan brought it back from the land of China and the West when he traveled westward. It tastes spicy and can cure all kinds of poisons. It is very beneficial to use in summer."
The oldest name of garlic in history is gourd, the gourd of gourd, but not the gourd of gourd.
Originated from the gourd, it was named after the grass.
The gourd is a typo between the market and the orthodoxy. The original gourd should be called Hulu, and Hulu is a container.
The emperor's father, Yueling, had never eaten garlic. He stared at the garlic cloves he had picked out, and suddenly said, "Do you believe that Mr. Kai Zhishi has really been to the Far West? I have been to the east, if such a person is a hermit like Peng Zu, it will be fine, hidden in the mountains, the world does not know, he is pure himself."
"But those two gentlemen clearly have the ambition of the world. Otherwise, how could there be a disciple like Jia Zhishi? But the two great sages with the ambition of the world have never left a trace in the world. Isn't it strange? ?”
The thief who betrayed his master solemnly said: "I believe in the principles taught by the Juzi. If what the Juzi says makes sense, I will listen to it, and if there is no reason, I will object. As for where the Juzi learned it from, what does it matter to me?"
"If this gourd can drive away diseases, why don't you eat it because it is produced outside Kyushu?"
The emperor's father Yueling laughed and said: "There are thousands of principles in the world, you are nothing more than being bewitched by him, even if it is wrong, you still think it is right."
"Thief Who Betrayed His Master" said coldly: "Right or wrong, what can be verified can be verified, and what cannot be verified is useless."
The emperor's father Yueling nodded, and sighed: "I thought I was captured, at least Kai Zhishi wanted to come and see me. Didn't I think that in his eyes, I was not worth mentioning?"
At that time, the scholar who suddenly revealed his identity and captured him shook his head and laughed: "You think too highly of yourself. Don't say that the giant thinks you are not worth mentioning, and you are also not worth mentioning in my eyes."
"You think you are very smart, but in fact everything you do is childish and ridiculous. You consulted the Great Yin of the State Council for the State of Song, and the huge legacy and power your father left you has not even reached the level of the people in the State of Song. The primary and secondary contradictions are not clear.”
"If you really have great talent, or have a general plan, you won't be where you are today."
"And your followers are all dead bones. The giant said that he looks down on people who have the will to die, because the most important thing is to solve the problem, not to die. If you have the will to die, in fact, it is incompetent. Unable to turn the situation around, escape under desperation."
"Do you think that dozens of scholars died generously in the face of siege?"
"In my opinion, it's just showing their incompetence."
The emperor's father Yueling sneered and said: "I have heard that the Mohist family is righteous, and they will die without hesitation. But I didn't expect that the Mohist family has no respect for those who die generously."
The scholar laughed and said, "I really don't know what to respect them."
"At that time, our army was attacking the city, the tunnels were extended, and the artillery was ejected... The truly talented people should have thought of digging and piling up trench parapets behind the salient fortress, so that the iron bullets that had been bounced could not kill the soldiers on the opposite side. When charging, go out and fight back."
"If you die from exhaustion due to similar digging or hand-to-hand counterattacks, maybe we can still respect it."
"But they... have no means, there is no solution other than death, and I have waited for so long, but no one came up with this simple solution, just clamoring to go to justice... If this happens in our The Mo family will be captured by the inspection department and exiled for the crime of killing soldiers and disregarding their lives."
"What do you want me to respect them for? Respecting them for being ignorant and ignorant, who will die in repayment when something happens, and make people cry?"
"This is the world, not a theater in the city. If they die, who are they going to play for?"
With a few words, the emperor's father Yueling was speechless. At this time, recalling the original city defense, the simple reverse-slope parapet instead of the simple suggestion of sending all the soldiers to the top of the city to eat artillery shells, seemed like a slap in the face. Hit him hard in the face.
The imperial father Yueling smiled wryly and said, "You know about soldiers?"
The scholar said indifferently: "I understand a little, but I dare not claim to know it. It's just that Juzi asked someone to tell the summary of the siege of Dangshan to the world, telling you about your stupidity, and discussing what a real scholar is by the way."
"Emphasis on righteousness and despise life, that is a beautiful virtue, and the Mohists also recognize it. Don't talk about right and wrong, just talk about life and death. When you are alive, you don't have a plan or work hard for righteousness. When you finally push yourself to a dead end, The only thing left to do is to tell others that I am not afraid of death, because I can’t find any other meritorious deeds for righteousness, such people... at least our Mohists don’t want them, and I hope that there will be fewer such people in the future Xia.”
The emperor's father Yueling sighed: "Your Mohists not only want to turn the world upside down, but also change customs and establish virtues...I underestimated you. I thought that Kai Zhishi would come to see me, and even if he didn't, he would preach the great victory of Dangshan .”
"But I never thought that the Battle of Dangshan, in your eyes, was just a small matter to change customs and establish virtues."
"I used to think that after hearing about the dozens of men who braved the lead bullets to die, he would say that there are so many people who are not afraid of death, and justice is so hard to shake..."
The scholar laughed loudly and said, "The Juzi only said that if all the righteous people in the old days were like this, the world would be settled soon. The Juzi also said that it's a pity that not all the princes are people like the emperor's father Yueling. There are some smart people."
This obviously sarcastic words made Emperor Yueling's face turn red, and all his previous self-confidence and pride made him shout angrily: "You underestimate the heroes of the world, such people will suffer!"
The scholar shook his head and said, "You are right, but the problem is that you are not a hero in the world. Do you know why I joined the Mohist school?"
Before the emperor's father Yueling could answer, the scholar pointed to the emperor's father Yueling and said: "As far as your talent is concerned, if you are on Sishang, you are just a village official; if you are in the army, you are just a company commander and Sima commander. But Just because of your blood, you can occupy a high position... This should not be how the world should be."

"Then Song Ruo Dazhi, is it ruled by action? Or is it ruled by inaction?"
Dai Cong was puzzled by this point, he didn't understand the twists and turns.
