warring states careerist

Chapter 18
In September, field gardens are built, and in October, crops are harvested.Millet is heavy millet, hemp, soybean and wheat.Sigh, I am a farmer, my crops are the same, and I will work in the palace.In the daytime, you are in Mao, and in the evening, you are in the middle of the night, and you are eager to take a house, and you start to sow a hundred grains.

In a blink of an eye, it is August in the Yin calendar and September in the Zhou calendar.

People in the village community have already begun to prepare for the harvest after a busy year.

Those who dare to deal with private affairs after finishing official duties, they need to harvest the grain in the public fields before they can take care of their own family affairs, otherwise they will be punished.

After the fish soup that night, the people in the village drank the fish soup a few more times, and were also indoctrinated with more sayings about heaven's will and heavenly ghosts.

Shi said that the cycle of all things in the sky and the earth remains unchanged, so people have to shit after eating food, but they can't grow well without food.This is like digging a well. Wells are dug for water, but a few feet without water is indispensable; people grow food for corn, but without leaves, there is no corn; so composting to increase production is in line with nature. Zhi's.

The people in the village took advantage of the slack before August to dig a large communal cesspit, and dumped the plant ash from each family on it.

More than 20 households got together and bought eight piglets. Those children who followed Shi's buttocks all day went to cut pigweed every evening, and then cooked them in a large clay pot used for sacrifices to feed the pigs.

These pigs are kept on the top of the cesspit, and pig manure and the like will be discharged into the pit. In front of the pit, there is a special hemp rope used as toilet paper to rub back and forth for cleaning.

In mid-July, Shi returned to Shangqiu with a few fish and two hares, and carried firewood for several days.

The sister-in-law scolded him for not coming home, but seeing that he was tanned, she still made a delicious meal with distress.The elder brother didn't say anything, and quietly gave him more than a dozen copper coins before leaving, but he didn't want to have two extra coins in the corn and rice balls wrapped by his sister-in-law before leaving.

Mozi hasn't come back from Qi, and he doesn't know what's going on there.

However, infighting has already begun within Song State. Duke Song used the power of Chu people to suppress powerful vassals in the country. Had to participate in the activities of meeting the emperor led by Sanjin.

It was inevitable that Song State was besieged by Chu.Song Gong was cornered by the civil strife among the vassals. If it wasn't for the help of Chu people, this son would have been usurped by others. Now he wants to rebel against Chu and Jin. It is impossible for Chu not to be angry.

Moreover, Chu State is now aggressive and has penetrated into the Central Plains. The right wing has a great advantage. The left wing Qin State is still a friendly state for the time being, and it also relies on the Great Wall and Xionger Mountain in Pingdingshan, Zhumadian and other places.

The State of Song was an important support point for the State of Chu to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, and abandoning the State of Song meant that the right wing was exposed.

Unless the state of Chu completely abandons the comprehensive strategic contraction of land in the Central Plains such as Yuguan and Daliang, the state of Song must be close to Chu, and if they don't, they will beat him.

But now Shangqiu is still happy and harmonious, and no one has made the slightest preparation for it.

During the time when Shi returned to Shangqiu, a small-scale malaria outbreak occurred outside the village. The reed flowers he taught by himself learned the method of twisting Artemisia annua juice with cold water, and spread those things while practicing medicine.

At this time, there is no alcohol and ether, and low-temperature extraction is not possible, but the method of squeezing juice is still useful.

With the means of curing diseases and saving lives as the main body; relying on techniques such as fish baskets and composting as the auxiliary; using "Bin Feng Qiyue", which is adapted for a better life in the future, as the prophecy, with the village community as the center, more and more people come to listen to the lecture story.

There are more and more people participating in the fish soup sacrifice and food sharing ceremony held every month. This sense of ritual that can be created, combined with the temptation of food, develops very rapidly.

The sense of ritual in the early stage is very important, and the things that are suitable to talk about are all existing words, but he has tampered with the meaning.

It is one of Mozi's means to connect with the feelings in the village and spread ideas through rituals such as dinner parties.

"Ming Gui" once said: "Now I am a sacrifice, and I don't just throw it directly into the gutter and abandon it. The upper level is to make friends with ghosts, and the lower level is to gather people in a carnival to get close to the village."If there are ghosts and gods, they will eat my parents and brothers.So isn't this a good thing for the world?
What Mozi means is that whether there are ghosts or not, we do sacrifices, not to waste everything and throw it away.Instead, after the sacrifice is completed, everyone will share the food together, and the Mohists can spread the Mohist philosophy while eating.

If there are ghosts, it is considered to be a sacrifice to the ancestors; if there are no ghosts, everyone will eat without wasting, and they can gather together and increase the organization of the village.This is better than re-burial. If you bury all the good things, you might as well take them out and let the living eat them.

Coupled with the Shiwu system in "Shoucheng", the purpose of Mozi's sacrifice is obvious.

This Mohist is a self-proclaimed and forged one, and he doesn't know exactly how the Mohism conducts sacrifices. Sacrifice is the job of Confucian scholars.

According to my own changes, it became nondescript, and the worship before eating was nothing more than three.

Although the heaven and the earth are ruthless, they give the warm sun, the water to quench thirst, the soil to cultivate, and the rain to moisten things.

Although the ghost of heaven is dead, he dedicates everything to the world.Those who accept the sacrifice together with the ghosts are those who uphold the will of the ghosts to understand heaven.Suiren who made fire, Fuxi and Nuwa who made people multiply and defeated wild beasts, Shennong who tasted grass, Younest who built houses...

The ancestors, although dead, would not have had the chance to fight for the fifth paradise if they hadn't drank blood and slashed and burned.They are the foundation for building a house, the walls of a well for digging, and the first three bowls of rice for a full stomach.

In the ghostly and ignorant countryside, a simple sense of ritual can allow more people to participate.In the beginning, some people might just be attracted by things like this kind of party fish soup, but gradually the thoughts contained in this ritual will become more important than the ritual itself.

It is said that it is a sacrifice to ghosts, but it is actually a sacrifice to the ancestors of the mountains and forests.

There are more and more people participating in this ceremony, along with Artemisia annua treating malaria, which is similar to "shifu water".

That's it, for this kind of careerist who talks about the righteousness of the world all day long, but actually has other goals; and people like Luhua and Liuzhi who really believe in doing the righteousness of the world, promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, and die without hesitation. small conflict.

Shi Shi didn't want to provoke those little nobles for the time being, and didn't want to bring out the conflict right now. Mozi didn't come back and he had no backing. If something like Zhu Shaozhengmao happened, he had nowhere to cry.

So try to spread it in the autonomous village as much as possible, and don't enter the fief of the nobles to contact those people.

But Lu Hua asked back, are the people in those places not human beings?Is Mohist going to give up those people?If that's the case, how can it be called doing the world's righteousness?There is a sick person in that place, you can go to treat it, but you don't allow me to go, what is this?
Lu Hua, who has always trusted Shi, had a quarrel with Shi for the first time.The children who were taught by him all day were also a little puzzled.

At dinner, Lu Hua ate a few mouthfuls with a cold face and was about to leave.

Wei persuaded: "He has his own plan in doing things, how could he make mistakes? Just listen."

Lu Hua put down the spoon heavily, snorted and said, "It was he who said all day long that everything is justified, and Mohists should practice it faithfully. There must be an understanding, and there is a basis for action. He said that he is a Mohist, and righteousness is the treasure. He also said this to me, the children of Liuzhi, and you. What is wrong with me? I am wrong He was also at fault!"

Shi lowered her head and said nothing, Lu Hua seemed to be leaving, but she was still standing there, deliberately poking Shi's heart with words.

It's not easy to mix into the Mohists and become a careerist.It is really not easy. The most difficult part is that if you decide that there is something that can benefit and eliminate disadvantages, you have to go even if there are mountains of swords and fires ahead.

Mixing with any other family, there is room for maneuver in such a matter, but the Mo family has no room for maneuver in this matter.

There is no reason for this matter to convince these people, and the few close people who have been cultivated with great difficulty will definitely have unresolved knots in their hearts.

Shi said helplessly: "It's not that you haven't heard the story about Shaozhengmao I told you."

Lu Hua sneered and said, "You also told me about the unity of knowledge and action! If you were Shao Zhengmao, if you talked about the means of doing righteousness, if you knew that you would be exposed to the sun, wouldn't you talk about it? Yes One day you know what to do is right, but you will be beheaded if you do it, so why don't you do it?"

"If there is such a day, I will die with you! You talk about Miss Qianjin and Qixing Longyuan all day long. It is you who make us feel that it is right and good to be such a person. If you don't want us to do this, Why tell us what is good and what is bad?"

"If you don't want us to know what is good and what is bad, why do you need to make any rules and regulations in the future? When the time comes, the king will say that it is good, and if it is bad, it will be bad. We don't need to know, just follow Just do it. But you let us know that it will not reach the paradise!"

With the simple concept of right and wrong and courage in the early years of the Warring States period, as well as the righteousness and injustice after listening to Shi's talk for half a year, Lu Hua spoke to Shi with anger for the first time.

Everyone has their own likes and dislikes.

The love before was novelty, and after the novelty came worship, and after the worship, there was joy of the same mind, but after the novelty and worship subsided, it was not going well, and this unknown fire finally vented.

Although it's not hatred yet, it's already a bit angry.

Shi is not the leader, but just a guide, so he can make mistakes, so he can be reprimanded, so he can be judged by his fellow travelers whether he is doing right or wrong.

Shi never thought that Lu Hua would have such a temper, but after thinking about it, he realized that what he had done before was right, and of course everything was fine.Just like a volcano, no one knows that it is full of magma before it erupts.

The setting sun outside the door caused the reed flower to cast a shadow over Shi's head, making him look even smaller.

He has long said that he is Ye Gong and a good dragon, and now it seems the same.

He thought he liked the publicity, unyielding, life and death, and faith of the Warring States Period.

In fact, he just realized that he just likes that there are such people in the world, so he doesn't need to be like this.

Under the shadow, Shi clenched the spoon tightly, looked at Lu Hua who seemed a little disappointed, and thought of those children who were eager to be a righteous child like him, and smiled wryly.

He thought that he had influenced others, but he forgot that Baisha was in nirvana, so why wasn't he influenced by these people?

I am white, but if I insist on pretending to be an Mohist, after the people around me turn black, is it possible that I will be unaffected?
Besides, if Mozi came here to ask in the future and found a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, it would be useless to toss so much.

If you want to gamble, you have to dare to gamble with your life, just be careful.

Laughing wildly, he said to his mother, look forward and backward, since he wants to mix into the Mo family, is he afraid that he will be seen by Mo Zi when he dies?

This is a somewhat crazy era, in order to prove that he is brave enough to cut his own leg with a knife to eat meat, Meng Sheng who wants to come to the Mohist family must also have such a charisma, otherwise he will not be able to gather so many people.

In this regard, I am far behind.Don't pretend from the inside out, just make the surface, I'm afraid it won't work.

Thinking of this, she stood up leisurely, raised her hands to Lu Hua who was angry, or a little sad, looked down upon or even looked down upon, bowed her head and said, "I was wrong."

However, he didn't want to understand one thing.

If a person pretends from the inside out, and pretends all his life until he dies, is he really real?is fake?
