warring states careerist

chapter 114
General Qu listened to Teng Shuyu's words, looked at the mohists who were discussing something in the distance, and said calmly: "Mohism thinks that people are equal regardless of their age. I am Qu The prominent generation of the family; among the Mohists, there is only one... um, one person. People, that's all."

"Common peasants, businessmen, and virtuous ones should be promoted. My sword is not as good as public making, shooting is not as good as poultry, Xiaotian's ambition is not as good as fitness, debate is not as good as 54, punishment is not as good as imitation, and craftsman is not as good as an axe. I really don't know why I can't be an ordinary ink. By."

Teng Shuyu was truly convinced this time, and sighed: "Isn't Luo Xiaoli really the number one warrior among Mohists?"

When Qu Jiang heard the word "warrior", he smiled helplessly, looked at Hu Feizi behind him and said, "Sir, it seems that he still doesn't know what bravery is."

Hu Feizi also smiled, and said to Teng Shuyu: "If you don't know what courage is, then you will think that what I praised you just now is insulting you. So please let me explain to you what courage is."

Teng Shuyu nodded, Hu Feizi glanced at Qu Jiang, and nodded at him.

Qu Jiang said to Teng Shuyu: "Ten years ago, I understood courage as well as you. But sir, let me understand what courage is. Please treat this moment as ten years ago."

After finishing speaking, he helped his high crown, and Hu Feizi knelt on the ground, half-closed his eyes, recalling what happened ten years ago.

Qu Jiang took a step forward, suddenly drew out the Chu sword, and pressed it against Hu Feizi's neck. Hu Feizi suddenly opened his eyes, but he was not afraid, but stared at Qu Jiang.

Without shaking his wrist, Qu Jiang slashed Hu Feizi's face with his sword, and said with a smile: "I am Qu Jiang, a warrior of the Chu Kingdom. I heard that Mohists are not fighting, and I think it is not brave for knights and warriors to fight. That's why I came here to ask for advice." , if you can’t tell me what bravery is, I can only kill you because you insulted me, because I’m exactly the kind of stupid warrior you mohists call you.”

Hu Feizi recalled the conversation ten years ago, and asked without changing his face: "In your understanding of bravery, am I a warrior?"

General Qu stabbed a few more times with the sword in his hand, and said, "You are considered a warrior. If you weren't a warrior, you would definitely piss out of fear at this time, and your face doesn't change, so you are a warrior."

Hu Feizi laughed loudly, as if he didn't care about the sword blade wandering near his throat at all, and said loudly: "This is called the bravery of Tao Fou among the four braves defined by Zi Mozi."

Qu Jiang wondered, "What is Tao Fou's courage?"

"Landslides in front, face does not change color, looks down from a height, legs do not shake, body is not affected by the external situation like a clay pot, even if a sharp knife is in the throat, it is still laughing, to be able to do these is the bravery of Tao Fou gone."

Qu Jiang said: "I can do it, and you can do it too. Then why do you mohists criticize those who like to fight? Please tell me what the remaining three braves are. If I don't like it, Then I will kill you and then kill Mo Di who said this."

Ten years later, Hu Feizi still had a look of disdain on his face, and said: "To kill tigers and leopards, to fight bears with bare hands, to kill dragons, this is the courage of fishing and hunting."

"When others look at you, you will stab someone with a sword, and when others glance at you, you will kill the whole family. This is the courage of the five punishments, and the stupid courage that seeks to be punished, is talking about people like you."

"For example, Cao Mo, when he joined the alliance after the Changshao war, hid a sharp knife in his body, hijacked Qi Huan, and said: "Please retreat and stop attacking Lu, or I will cut your neck open and let your blood drain." , Qi Huan then joined the alliance and retreated. With the strength of one man, he retreated from the country of ten thousand rides, and preserved the weak state of thousands of rides. This is called the courage of a gentleman."

"Another example is Yan Ying, who was five feet tall. Duke Zhuang of Qi had an affair with Cui Wuzi's wife, and gave Cui Wuzi's hat to others as a mockery, and was finally killed by Cui Wuzi. Yan Ying, five feet tall, went to the Cui Wuzi wept bitterly for Duke Zhuang in the mansion, and after crying, he fled away, but he did not dare to kill Cui Wuzi because all the people supported him, this is also the courage of a gentleman."

"So, those of you who call yourself warriors are all stupid five-punishment bravery, far from real bravery, aren't you stupid?"

After finishing speaking, General Qu took off the high crown on his head, retreated three steps and knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Please teach me the courage of a gentleman who benefits the world, wins the support of all people, and saves weak and small countries."

"I would like to do the bravery of a gentleman like Cao Mo for the sake of the world. Blood splashed five steps, in order to ensure the stability of the world!"

After the two performed, General Qu put away his sword and stood behind Hu Feizi. Teng Shuyu had a strange expression on his face, and he said after a long time, "Is it true that I am only the brave of five punishments?"

Hu Feizi said: "No. Didn't you say that you don't cherish your body, but you want to save it for great things? If the big things you want to do can benefit the world and save the weak, isn't this just the courage of a gentleman? So When I say you are a warrior, I am not insulting you."

"Besides, you are only a scholar. Among the Mohists, if you become an official, there are many who can become high officials, and there are also many people who can be called national swordsmen. Is it something to be ashamed of being defeated by the Mohist? The battle of the long spoon, It is ashamed to be ashamed to defeat ten thousand chariots; the more you destroy Tengbang, the more tens of thousands of chariots suppress a hundred chariots, should you feel ashamed?"

Hearing this, Teng Shuyu felt like the hemp rope thrown by the hemp soaker on the shore when he fell into the water when he was a child, and couldn't help following Hu Feizi's words: "That's right, I just want to save this body to make some It’s a big deal. Although I don’t know if it’s a matter of benefiting the world as you said, but at least it’s not just the courage of the five punishments!”

These principles were originally told to him by Hu Feizi. Of course, Teng Shuyu did not say this to let Hu Feizi hear it, but hoped that those partners and friends around him would hear it.

He felt that the Mohist gave him enough face. After his face was damaged, these Mohist did not come to insult him, but found such an acceptable reason for himself. This thought alone is enough for him in the future. repaid.

He is a lost nobleman and a man in the market. Even if he regrets not making the right choice for a while, he still does not forget the friendship and way of dealing with things in the market, and has become one with his blood.

You don't need to say these words, just keep them in your heart, but Teng Shuyu doesn't know how to repay Mo Zhe.At least he felt that he couldn't do something like becoming a Mohist, and there are so many talented people among Mohist, even if there is sword-blade martial arts, how can it be his turn to do it?

The companions and friends beside him have also been persuaded by Hu Feizi, and they already have a friendship with Teng Shuyu, and everyone who saw Mo said so, so they stopped thinking about those seemingly embarrassing escapes.

Hu Feizi said again: "Those witches collect money and kill people, and Mohists kill them to benefit the world. I don't think you know what's going on here, do you?"

Having said all this, what else could Teng Shuyu say, "I really don't know, I only know now. If I want to know, why would I do such a thing for a mere ten thousand dollars? Although I am not as good as you A Mohist knows the righteousness of the world, but he also has the rules of a street knight."

Hu Feizi said with a smile: "So, please cultivate yourself. I will come to see you again in a few days, and I will also ask you about the important things you want to do."

After finishing speaking, he saluted with General Qu and retreated slowly.

Halfway through, Qu Jiang asked: "Sir, is Teng Shuyu really such a person?"

Hu Feizi shook his head and said: "I don't know. If you run away, you may want to do great things, or you may just be afraid of death. This is the heart of others, so how can you guess it? But the giant has an order, and I will obey it. It may be useful in the future , so it is."

…………

On the other side, Mo Chengzi came to those big clans and officials with a cold face.

These people are like a big enemy, Mo Zhe didn't say to let them go, and he didn't say not to let them go. They saw Mo Zhe's methods, how could they dare to make their own decisions?
Not to mention the shocking words heard in the afternoon, even the hundreds of Mohists holding profits are not something they, the big clans in Peiyi, can deal with.

Mozi has practiced righteousness for decades, and his footprints are all over the world, and the disciples he recruits are all the best in the world. How can the so-called big clan in Peiyi, which has not yet become a place for the wealthy and nobles to migrate, compare with it?
It was originally intended to be used to intimidate Mo Zhe, who would have thought that Mo Zhe didn't care at all, but turned these threats into invisible with a wave of his hand, and even intimidated those who wanted to intimidate in turn.

These people understood what happened in the afternoon, and Mo Zhe didn't take their families seriously at all.

Mo Chengzi was also the one who led people to patrol in the afternoon and led a group of Mohists. These people also knew that this person had a high status among Mohists, so they were trembling.

Mo Chengzi also received the order from the giant, and explained clearly how to do it, so he said to these people: "Since you have come to gather, I wanted to keep you for a few more days, but some officials have to go back to deal with political affairs."

Those officials who are deeply involved in collecting money dared not say a word, so they could only whisper: "We are here, it is these witches who asked us to do the matter of witnessing the revenge of blood relatives. , we can't stop coming."

Mo Chengzi thought, I'm not stupid, didn't you guys take part in this matter?But he didn't say anything at this time, he just said: "Those witches collect money and make living sacrifices, causing great harm to the world and angering ghosts and gods. Isn't it wrong for Mohist to do so?"

The elders of the official clan said one after another: "Yes! Great kindness!"

Mo Chengzi laughed and said: "Exactly. This matter still needs to be investigated, but it has nothing to do with you, please go back to Peiyi. The inkmen are not enough to send them off. Please."

This meant to let these people go, but when they heard Mo Chengzi said that they wanted to find out what was behind those Wu Zhu, how dare they leave?

Even if I leave, I have to figure out what will happen in the future in order to deal with it. At this moment, I want to leave but dare not, so I have no choice but to keep silent.

Among these people, the descendant of Xia Qi who proposed to intimidate the Mo Zhe with blood and vengeance first stood up and thanked the Mo Zhe for his righteousness.

Everyone had no idea, and this person couldn't be blamed for the blood relative enmity. No one expected Mo Zhe's background to be so deep. After hearing this person's decision, they all learned and learned, and left together.

After leaving Mozhe for a few miles, many people stopped sweating.A few old men gathered together again, and asked Xia Qi, "The Mohist said so, how dare you leave?"

Then Xia Qi said afterwards: "The Mozhe is known to be intelligent and cruel, so how can he not know what we are waiting for? Since he let us go, it means not to pursue it. Of course, it is also a warning to us not to hinder the Mohist again. .Although we are not as good as the Mohists, if we really want to rebel and refuse to accept it, it will be difficult for the Mohist to do so."

When he said this, everyone also felt that there was some truth, and asked: "What do you mean by Mohist today? What will happen in the future?"

Xia Qi then said: "It's nothing more than wanting to open up fields for private mothers. I heard the Mohist's handouts in the afternoon, and I didn't care about the edge of the well. It’s better not to hide the private land and the mothers by means of the past. They recognize the private property, and I only hope to write down the bamboo deed to belong to me, and I am willing to pay the mu tax.”

He didn't say why, and the rest of the people just thought that he was terrified by the Mohist, and they all thought that if it was calculated according to the private mu tax, the millet tax paid every year was very high, how could it be done if there were no means?
After the man finished speaking, he didn't explain, let alone other people. After saying goodbye and saluting, he boarded the car and sped away, as if he wanted to escape from this place.

The rest of the people thought that this person might have been frightened out of his wits by the Mohists, and the officials were all in touch with him, so he had a lot of tricks.

What's more, if the private mu tax is used to check the acres of land, this mu tax will also be imposed on those slave farmers who rent or make a living from it, how can they be willing?At that time, it will touch the interests of everyone, even if the Mohists are righteous and righteous, it will be difficult to do so.

Besides, there are so many implicated in these matters, wouldn't the rich and powerful families in Shangqiu be worried?At this time, Wu Zhu may not care about the matter. If the Mohists really carry out the investigation of the private mothers and the bamboo deeds to fix the land, I am afraid that the Shangqiu clan will not be willing.

As long as you go back and make preparations early, why should you be as frightened as that person?
The leaders discussed again, then left, and returned to Peiyi, making their own preparations, but they didn't dare to touch Mo Zhe lightly.Unless it touches the immediate interests, I have been frightened by today's events and dare not use similar methods again, I just hope that they will not disturb each other for the time being.

　I don't know if Cui Zhu's hat is green.I found that the monarch was really willing to die at that time. You said Qi Zhuanggong fell asleep when he slept, and joked about his hat.The woman Dongguo Jiang is also considered a character, because she has three families destroyed by one person, and one monarch is killed... What will she look like?The chrysalis of a butterfly is called a hanged female insect. I don’t know where the dialect is. The story can be traced back to Dong Guojiang who had an affair with Duke Zhuang of Qi.
