Chapter 442 Caliber
The Mohists needed Suo Lushen to stay in Handan, and use the shock of his return from the far west to spread a wave of thought and at the same time arouse conflicts in Zhao.

The people of Qin hoped that Suo Lucan would stay in Handan, so that they would have enough time for their activities in Wei, and take away the man known as the No. 1 soldier in the world.

But now that he has entered the Middle Earth, Solucan is the Solucan of the Mohist school. His actions are no longer decided by himself, and he must abide by the organization's assignment.

This issue could not be discussed further, the three talked about some other things, and the two left immediately.

On the way back, Suo Lucan saw a row of riders galloping towards the Mo family's office in Handan.

There were about forty or fifty people, and they were all good horses. Although Suo Lucan didn't see clearly who was coming, but the special clothes of the Mo family were very conspicuous, and he recognized them at a glance.

Seeing these 45 people coming, Solu Cang suddenly felt happy, as if he was facing the wind and waves in the sea, waiting for a group of trustworthy captains and sailors and a big boat that could accommodate him.

He was sure that those people must have been sent by Sishang for this series of things.

Sure enough, when he went back, Hu Feizi, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, greeted him from a distance, held his hand, and shook it again and again.

When Suo Lucan left Zhongtu, Hu Feizi had already been sent to Qi State, so he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, not ten years.

The two had known each other for a long time, and after another round of greetings, Hu Feizi began to talk about business.

"It's just in time for you to come back. Let's have a fraternity meeting together. There are a few things to convey."

Suo Lushen showed a smile on his face. Although he had been hosting the Westbound Mohist Association for more than ten years, after returning to Gaoliu, he could not participate in the meeting at Gaoliu and could only attend.

This is the rule.

Now Hu Feizi let him join the fellowship, that is to say, he has finally returned home.Going back to Gaoliu, it was at the door of the house. The family members there recognized him, but he had to go through a procedure before he could re-enter the house, and now he was finally home.

Sishang sent Hu Feizi to set up Sishang's attention to Zhao Guo's matter.Hu Feizi himself was an old Mohist in the era of King Wei Lie, and Hu Feizi had dealt with some missions of negotiating envoys all the year round, so he was the best candidate for the envoy to Qi State.

At the meeting, Hu Feizi conveyed Sishang's instructions and set up a special committee in charge of the dispute between Mr. Zhao.

Hu Feizi read the two letters first.

One was written to Solucan and all those who followed Solucan as a central collective of the Mohist school. The letter was full of praise and praise, and highly praised the significance of Solucan’s westward journey and his contribution to the world .

The second letter was written by Qin Huali and Shi to Suo Lushen alone.

After Suolu accepted the two letters, Hu Feizi looked at the nine people present and said, "You all know about Que and Jun, and you also know the direction of our next move."

"This time, Shi over there specially selected more than 20 old people from the Propaganda Department to come here together. The Propaganda Department is mainly responsible for how to publicize and public opinion, but we must also be synonymous and clarify the relationship between Que and Jun. Where is the problem?"

"Evaluating any matter must have Dao and righteousness as the basis. This Dao and righteousness must be grasped, and must be evaluated with the morality of our Mohist school."

"Before I came, Shi deliberately found me and explained this matter. In other words, there are many mistakes in the matter between Que and Jun, but what is the point? This must be clarified."

Solu thought about it for a while, and he probably understood a little bit, but he still didn't think it through, so he asked.

Hu Feizi said with a smile: "You said, the matter between Que and Jun is not a betrayal of the State of Zhao for personal gain? It is definitely wrong to betray the State of Zhao, and it can also stir up public opinion, but... we cannot publicize it like this, or it is not focus."

"Because our Mohists talk about the world and judge right and wrong based on benefiting the world, we must keep in mind that the point of the publicity about Que and Jun is not that he betrayed Zhao Guo, or even betrayed Zhao Hou's laws. , but to harm the world!"

"Before coming here, Shi said that this is the direction of explanation. If this point is not clear and the tone is not set, then there will be a series of problems in the follow-up."

"Zi Mozi once said that in ancient times, ten people had ten righteousness, and a hundred people had a hundred righteousness. Today, our Mohist school also has its own righteousness, and other schools in the world also have their own righteousness. This righteousness is the standard for doing things and judging right from wrong."

"We have many righteousness, but the most important thing is to benefit the world. This is the first among all righteousness of Mohism."

"This head of righteousness is like the root of a tree and the core of a lamp."

"This... "Zhou Song, Zai Xun" once said, Hou Lord Hou Bo, Hou Yahou Brigade. The master, the head of the family, the original meaning is the heart of the lamp and the root of the tree."

"Therefore, the foundation of each school's theory of righteousness can be called doctrine. The doctrine is the root, and the rest are branches and leaves; the doctrine is the heart, and the rest are candlelight; the doctrine is the long, and the rest are all side branches."

"Our attitude and evaluation on the matter of Que and Jun must conform to our doctrine."

Just as the term "comrade" was borrowed from the "comrade with one heart and one mind" in Jinwen's marriage to Yingnv, it does not violate harmony when used in Mohism."ism" is a word that can be traced back to the "Book of Songs". When Hu Feizi said a little bit, everyone present nodded, thinking that this word was used very well.

For example, Suo Lucan, he could sing the "Book of Songs" when he was young, and the original meaning of the Lord meant torches and wicks. When Hu Feizi said "Hou Lord Hou Bo, Hou Yahou Brigade", he understood What is the purpose of this doctrine.

With the vigilance of the changes in the Qin land and the fact that "up and down Tongli's external expansion, everyone is warlike", Hu Feizi conveyed Shi's words, which made him immediately understand Shi's meaning.

While nodding in agreement, he was also sighing in his heart, thinking that the root of Zi Mozi's recognition of suitability was probably because he was able to form a system of Mohism's morality in some matters, and had a fundamental criterion to judge right from wrong.

He also wanted to look at this matter alone, although he was vaguely aware of the problem, but after all, he didn't think so deeply as Ru Shi did.

Indeed, the caliber of the Propaganda Department must be in line with doctrine, and it cannot be said casually and reformed day and night for the benefit of the moment.

While Suo Lucan admired it, he also felt that after returning to Sishang, he still needed to learn more.I have been away from Sishang for too long, and the knowledge on Sishang is far from what it was ten years ago. After all, there are too few people in my thoughts along the way.In the splendid land of Middle-earth, there is a little guidance, so the thought perfected by gathering all righteousness and goodness is far beyond what he can think alone.

After thinking about it, Suo Lucan felt that he hadn't had such a feeling of being enlightened for a long time, and his soul was so clear that he suddenly became enlightened. After carefully savoring the words that Hu Feizi relayed, there was a feeling of "death can be died in the morning". happy.

After Hu Feizi said a few more words, he took out another piece of paper and said: "The doctrine has been determined, so we must rely on the doctrine to evaluate the right and wrong of Que and Jun."

"For the prairie tribes, what Que and Jun smuggled over were weapons such as stirrups and iron swords. They could neither let the people of the prairie tribes mow the grass, nor dissolve their greasy milk food, nor could they change the production of the prairie so that the people On the contrary, he is encouraging the leaders of the grassland tribes to plunder, and most of the cattle and sheep spoils of the grassland tribes belong to the leaders. Instead, you have to endure the pain of fighting. This is not right."

"In the middle-earth world, the system and production of the middle-earth are far superior to those of the grassland. It is in line with what the paradise is at this time, or at least it is closer. The system of the grassland is contrary to the interests of the world at this time, so making the grassland strong by force is a violation. The foundation of benefiting the world."

"For everyone in Zhao, if these barbarians go south, they will plunder people and food, which is not good for them."

"Besides, once the Hu people become powerful, in order to guard their own food and relatives, they need to join the army and perform military service. This is a heavy burden and it will harm the world."

"It's okay to say that, and it's in line with our doctrine. But you can't say that Que and Jun betrayed the State of Zhao. Otherwise, I'm from Qi, Suo Lucan is from Lu, and you also have people from Chu, Zhao, People from Song Dynasty, people from Yue... Then according to our judgment, aren’t we all traitors?”

"The root of this matter is the contradiction between the Hu people and the Middle Earth. However, you said that if the Hu people occupy the city, they will not collect taxes, plunder, burn and kill, develop production, study the will of heaven, and do not change sacrifices. Don’t change the customs, barbarians are like the Mohists, everyone is benefiting the world, and they don’t follow each other, self-suffering and dedicating Dayu as a saint...why do you think we should oppose it?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed, and several of them laughed and said, "How can there be such a barbarian in the world? This does not exist at all. It is like walking to the edge of Mount Tai. One person has already climbed halfway. You say I am If he could fly, he must have climbed to the top of the mountain earlier than him. This is impossible."

Hu Feizi laughed and said: "Yes! But you can't say that if I can fly, I will go up the mountain earlier than him. It is wrong. Because they can't do it, they are wrong, so we have to oppose them. You can't say, because they It was the people of Zhao, Qin, Hu, and Yue who opposed them."

"Now, there is a trend in Sishang. We are from Sishang. What do people from other parts of the world have to do with us? As long as we can continue to sell ironware, glass and cloth to get rich, then we don't need to worry about them. We will do well in Sishang. Wouldn't it be better to live? Some people even say, now that we are rich, have more ironware, more cattle and horses, why not plunder the people of Yue and Qi and make them slaves for farming?"

"This kind of trend must be stopped, otherwise, when will the world be stable? How can it be possible to fulfill Zimozi's last wish to make the world one? Sishang is now rectifying this trend of thought. Make no mistake."

"Just like this time when Suo Lucan came back from Gaoliu, some officers and riders from Gaoliu could go south to Sishang with one order. What is the reason? It is the righteousness of benefiting the world, otherwise, they are from Zhao. Why shed blood for Sishang?"

"In Sishang, especially in the homes of small rich and small farmers and small handicraft industries, this kind of thinking is even more serious."

From Hu Feizi's few short words, Suo Lucan heard that Sishang must be unstable now, and there must be a lot of ideological struggles and internal line struggles.

Thinking about it, now that Sishang is rich and prosperous, some people may think that this is the way it should be, and there is really no need to shed blood for people elsewhere, which is also human nature.

Suo Lucan thought about his previous vigilance against Qin's changes, and finally understood why the Propaganda Department would come over with more than 20 experts at once. It seems that the meaning behind this event will still be classified as "harming the world" after all. .

Under this caliber, Zhao Gongzizhang pinched his nose to agree with the Mohist propaganda caliber in order to seek support.Words are not spoken casually, especially for a person who is about to be a monarch. If there is enough external force to oppress what is said today, it will be the shackles of tomorrow.
