Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 228 The new Mohist talker, the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education! (seeking subscription)

The introversion situation in Jixia Academy is very serious. Every school wants to make a big news every day. If it is not a big event, it is difficult to attract the attention of others.

It is precisely because of this introversion that the contention among a hundred schools of thought is particularly heated.

Even if it is a humble school, they think about doing something every day.

Mohism, as a famous school in the world, although it has not been recognized by those princes and kings, it has always had a market among the people.

Nowadays, the Mohists in Jixia Academy continue to study in various disciplines, and even gradually forget the Mohist's political views.

This is also normal.

After all, Mohism's political views have never been recognized.

In this era of ceremonial collapse and joy.

Confucius felt that everything should follow the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, and advocated returning to the state where the feudal system was intact in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Laozi advocates going back to an earlier period, when the clan society was "a small country with few people".

Mohism, on the other hand, represented the interests of handicraft merchants and advocated entering an era of industrial and commercial civilization.

Compared with other sages, Mozi's philosophy is really a bit out of date and too advanced.

That sounds like a great idea.

But sometimes, this is not a good thing.

The productivity of the society cannot keep up, and entering the era of industrial and commercial civilization prematurely will exacerbate the collapse of the society and lead to the complete division of the society.

Su Che deduced this scene in "Ink World".

Similarly, in "New Ink", he elaborated on the concept of productivity.

What is productivity?
Productivity is social productivity, also known as "material productivity".

It is the final result of people's practical ability, and it is also an aspect of the production method.

It is the basis for the existence and development of human society, and it is also the decisive force to promote the progress of history!

Why can't the era of free trade of handicraft merchants appear?
Because productivity is not enough!
If commerce is excessively promoted, it will inevitably lead to a reduction in food production and severe land abandonment, which will lead to a food crisis in the country.

Once a disaster occurs at that time, the country will inevitably be destroyed.

There were such precedents in the Spring and Autumn Period.

And many more.

Many powerful strategists like to use commercial trade to achieve the effect of winning without fighting.

in short.

Without commerce, people would not starve to death.

Without agriculture, people would literally starve to death.

This is also the reason why many emperors in the past dynasties liked to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.

When the Qin State implemented the "Shang Yang Reform", it was clearly stated that "the food in the territory of a rich country must be expensive, the levies for non-agriculture must be large, and the rent for market profits must be heavy...then the people have to go without their merchants and skills." But the location is favorable. The strength of the people lies in the favorable location.” The idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.

Liu Bang also put forward the idea of ​​discriminating against businessmen: "Jiaren should not get clothes such as brocade, embroidery, Qi, valley, rice, rice, rice, rice, horses, and soldiers."

Could it be said that "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business" is simply a contempt for the benefits that the commodity economy can bring?
of course not.

Just as Shang Yang said: "Farming is the hardest work, but the profit is small. It is not as good as merchants and skilled people."

This is obviously also clearly knowing the huge benefits that the commodity economy can bring.

But Shang Yang still pursued the idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.

Because the basis of the commodity economy is the natural economy.

And the essence of all this is still not enough productivity.

In his article "New Ink", Su Che elaborated on the connection, and at the same time restructured Mohism's political ideas.

This article is really a blockbuster.

The natural sciences studied by Mohist scholars cannot be understood without a certain foundation. Even if they are researched, they need to be paid attention to before they can play a role, otherwise it will be useless!

From the perspective of other schools of thought, these Mohists have already entered the dead end.

But now, Su Che has reconstructed Mohism's political ideas, and even the new Mohism's sect rules!

The original Mohist.

The sect rules are notoriously strict, and the moral requirements for disciples in the sect are particularly high.

As a Mohist disciple, one must have a strong spirit of dedication and must accept a hard and simple life.

Such a person can be called a moral model, but the Mohists require all disciples to meet these requirements.

Although China has always regarded thrift as a virtue, the Confucian view of thrift is "thrift without stinginess", which means that the money that should not be spent should not be spent, and the money that should be spent should not be saved.

The Mohists are more extreme, "clothes with brown fur and slender legs, day and night."

This is no longer frugal, it is a kind of "ascetic" approach.

People's living needs can be divided into material and spiritual. Confucianism attaches great importance to the role of art in spiritual life, and believes that art can not only cultivate sentiment, but also educate the people.

The Mohists are more disgusted with most art forms, do not recognize the social value of art, and believe that everyone should focus on how to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, and should not enjoy the beauty of art. Wealth" is a matter of "the benevolent do nothing".

Even Zhuangzi of Taoism couldn't help objecting to this point.

Zhuangzi said: Yellow Emperor had Xianchi, Yao had Dazhang, Shun had Dashao, Yu had Daxia, Tang had Dalu, King Wen had Piyong, King Wu, Duke Zhou For "Wu".

In ancient funeral ceremonies, there were ceremonies for the noble and the humble, and the upper and lower ranks. The emperor's coffin had seven layers, the princes' five layers, the doctor's three points, and the scholars again.

Today, Mozi lives alone and does not sing, and he refuses to accept death. The three-inch tung coffin has no outer shell, which he thinks is the French style.If you use this to teach people, you may not love others; if you use this to teach yourself, you will definitely not love yourself.

Mozi said, though, singing is not singing, crying is not crying, joy is not joy, is it fruit?

His life is diligent, his death is thin, and his way is greatly changed; it makes people worry and sad, and his actions are difficult. I am afraid that he will not be able to follow the way of a saint, and he will go against the heart of the world, and the world will be miserable.

Although Mozi is capable of doing things alone, what is the world like?If you are far away from the world, you will be far away from the king!

Zhuangzi's point of view is very simple. No matter how good Mozi's proposition is, if it cannot be accepted by the world willingly, it will be far from the kingly way!

The same is true of Su Che's thoughts.

Even a saint would have worldly preferences and desires, let alone those in the world?
In "New Mohism", Su Che recasts a new Mohist school based on the original Mohist ideas.

For many Mohist conservatives, this is absolutely unacceptable.

These people firmly believed that it was definitely Xunzi who sent his disciples to harm the Mohists!
Xunzi once described Mohism as "deceiving the fools", and believed that Mohism's advocacy of "non-joy" would lead to "chaos in the world", and Mohism's advocacy of "frugality" would make "the world poor".

Now Xunzi’s disciples have only studied Mohism for a few years, and they want to overthrow Mohism’s political views and various school rules, and even recreate a new Mohism. How can a teenage boy accomplish these things alone?
If there is no shadow of Xunzi behind this, who would believe it!

Mohism and Confucianism have always been at odds, so Su Che, a follower of Xunzi, naturally cannot be accepted by Mohist conservatives.

No matter how good his article is!
It is quite normal for these conservatives to think so.

They have endured decades of suffering, and they have been exposed to the rain themselves, and they don't want others to hold umbrellas!The hardships I have suffered, you new disciples of the Mohist family must also endure hardships!

But this is different for those Mohist students.

These students saw hope and saw the dawn!
These people even hoped that Su Che could become a Mohist tycoon and be the Mohist's boss!

These incidents caused constant turmoil, which also reached Xunzi's ears.

Xunzi didn't support or object, but felt that Su Che was really interesting, and he really didn't miss it at the beginning!

……

Su Che didn't back down directly because of the opposition from those Mohist conservatives. He really united with those Mohist students to form a new Mohism!

Since these veterans are unwilling to follow the times, then just abandon them!

A few years ago, Su Che made a new textile machine. He had a part of the original stock and made a lot of money in these years, so he is not short of money now. What he lacks is fame and influence.

So, it's time to expand your influence.

If you wait any longer, it's time for Ying Zheng to ascend the throne!

When Su Che handles these things with his own hands.

There are not many people who see his jokes.

After all, his age is too young.

Some things cannot be achieved with money and ideas.

It's so naive to be in a hurry to start a new Mohist school!

However...these people really underestimated Su Che's ability.

Not to mention a small Mohist organization, he can manage even the whole world.

Organizing a new Mohist school is not easy at all.

In the blink of an eye, several years later, the influence of the new Mohism gradually expanded.

The original Mohist school is divided into three parts, one part is the students who are inclined to the new Mohist school, the other part is the scholars who concentrate on academics, and the last part is the conservatives who adhere to the Mohist political views.

These conservatives are not accepted by the princes and kings, and their influence is only at the level of the people.

But when the political ideas of the New Mohism were accepted by the princes and kings, the gap gradually widened.

Over time, this gap has been widened.

During this period, there were also some Mohist swordsmen who were not convinced. They thought that Su Che had blasphemed Mozi's knowledge, so they came to assassinate Su Che!

There are not too many chivalrous men in this era.

For his ideals, even his dignity, he willingly died.

These people are simple-minded, and if they provoke them a little, they will get ahead.

Facing the assassin, Su Che suddenly raised the cauldron used for cooking meat and threw it directly, killing the Mohist swordsman on the spot!
The moment the huge tripod came crashing down——Mohist swordsman Jin Yi's mood was extremely complicated!

What about the brat that was promised?

Such a large tripod, does this mean that it can be lifted as soon as it is lifted?Did you say you smashed it? !

Jin Yi originally wanted to hear what else this brat had to say?I want to see if what he said before he died can convince me. If what he said is really reasonable, then I don't have to kill him!
But if he can't say one, two, three, four, five, and can't convince himself, then he must kill him with a sword!
If he is really the new sage of the Mohist family and convinces himself with a few words, then it is not impossible to follow him in turn! !
In this era, many righteous swordsmen did this.

It would be a good talk if this kind of thing got out!

Wouldn't it be great to have both fame and fortune by then?
This Mohist swordsman, Jin Yi, is really not a simple-minded person, he has his own little thoughts.

But he didn't expect that just as he drew his sword and was about to ask questions, he saw the big cauldron smashing towards him! !
"I……!!"

Jin Yi's eyes widened, full of panic and despair.

Then it was directly smashed into a meat paste!
"What did he want to say just now?" Su Che clapped his hands and asked strangely.

The Mohist disciple next to him saw this scene, his eyeballs almost fell out.

Many people couldn't bear it anymore and vomited out all the food they had eaten in the morning.

The picture is too bloody.

Some children are not suitable.

Since this incident happened, those Mohist knights who were about to assassinate Su Che turned around and left one by one, completely cutting off this thought.

Who would have thought that a disciple of Xunzi, who had read a lot of poetry and books, turned out to be a fierce man who beat people with a big tripod?
This is a bit outrageous!
As this thing spreads.

Even the current king of Qi couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "This man is really a warrior!"

The current king of Qi is Qi Wangjian, who is also the last monarch of Qi.

This person is not bad, the only shortcoming is that he is too naive.

As a vassal king, this is very fatal.

During the Battle of Changping, Zhao State asked Qi State to borrow food because of lack of food, and Qi Wangjian was unwilling to borrow food because he was afraid of offending Qin State.

Zhao Guo also had to temporarily change generals due to lack of food and under the pressure of attack. He replaced Zhao Kuo, who was on paper, and finally ended up with almost annihilated army.

You must know that only Zhao Guo could directly confront Qin at that time. Once Zhao Guo failed, it would not be of any benefit to the six Shandong countries.

Thereafter.

Under the flicker of Qin State's long-distance and close-attack policy, Qi Wangjian and Qin State have always been very close.

When Qin conquered the Six Kingdoms, he once fooled Qi Wangjian, as long as Qi State did not intervene, then the world would be divided equally with Qi State.

Who would have thought that Qi Wangjian really believed it.

When Qin State destroyed other countries, Qi State has been standing by.

When only Qi was left, Qin said that as long as you surrender, I will give you a fief of five hundred miles. As a result, Qi Wangjian really surrendered without resisting.

After Qi Wangjian surrendered, he was arranged by Yingzheng in a remote common area. Because he was not given food, he was finally starved to death.

But now, this naive King Qi values ​​Su Che's new Mohists very much.

As for why it is so important, the reason is also very simple.

In "New Ink", Su Che analyzed in detail the importance of productivity and its influence on society.

Based on this foundation, Su Che set the new Mohism's proposition - to rejuvenate the country through science and education!
He believes that science and technology will inevitably become the primary productive force. Adhere to science and technology, as well as education inheritance, put these in the most important position, and continue to develop, a country will inevitably become prosperous rapidly.

Based on this theory, Su Che led a group of Mohist scholars to turn many theories into practical operations.

He took the lead in completely perfecting the structure of the straight shaft plow, and at the same time developed a groundbreaking agricultural tool-the curved shaft plow!

Quyuanli was invented during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The application and popularization of Quyuan plow has greatly improved labor productivity and the quality of cultivated land.

The invention of the Quyuan plow opened a new page in the history of traditional agricultural tools, and it marked that the development of the plow has entered a mature stage.

Since then, Quyuan plow has become the mainstream plow type of plow.

Once this big killer is released, the cultivation of the land becomes easier, the burden on farmers is reduced, more land can be cultivated, and it is more refined, and there will inevitably be more food.

With more food, Qi's future will undoubtedly become stronger!
After seeing the real benefits, how can Qi Wangjian not pay attention to this new Mohism?
No matter what the various schools say, if it can't bring benefits, it is meaningless!
at the same time.

The distant state of Qin.

Qin Wang Yingzheng, who had just obtained the power, also saw Qu Yuanli who had bought it at a huge price!
