warring states careerist

Chapter 482
The person who refuted said: "From ancient times to ancient times, there were sages such as Chao and Shennong, and the people learned to build houses, make bows and arrows, and grow food. Everyone can survive without gathering the crowd for the sake of self-interest. The world It’s the next stage.”

"This is what Mozi said, one person has one righteousness, two people have two righteousness, ten people have ten righteousness. There are as many people as there are people, and so-called righteous people are also many. People are righteous, and non-humans The righteousness, so friendship is wrong."

"For my own self-interest, I thought I could have the whole world; for my own self-interest, you also thought I could have the whole world. In terms of the world, everyone is the enemy of others; everyone's enemies are the people of the world except themselves. "

"In this case, people must choose a 'righteousness' in order to give up part of their power in exchange for not being violated by others."

"It's like being in the jungle. Everyone has the possibility to become a tiger and eat others at will. In fact, most people are just rabbits and mice. Although they have the right to become tigers, they allow themselves to be tigers at any time It is unwise to be eaten by a real tiger, and it is also a big harm but a small benefit."

"So people began to choose righteousness and formulate laws to protect the interests of all people in the world."

"The people in the interests of the people of the world are concurrent people, not specific people. Mohism has the theory of combined and specific people. If you seek the benefits of the world, you are the people under the concept of concurrent, not a specific person. For example, you are powerful. Infinity, no one can kill you by himself, and killing is not a crime, then you have to kill to seek profit. Now everyone is enacting the law, saying that killing is a crime, you say it violates your interests, but you have won the world Benefits. When everyone is equal, use the interests of the majority for the benefit of the world, and the minority must obey the interests of the majority.”

"That's how the law came into being, and the selection of virtuous people as the son of heaven. This is an inevitable process."

"It's just that people didn't fully understand the will of heaven at that time, and they couldn't restrain the emperor institutionally, so the emperor turned the public weapon of the world into a private weapon for self-interest. From that moment on, the emperor was no longer the emperor, but violated Individuals who have violated the righteousness of the people and the covenant of the world. Private individuals cannot become sons of heaven, and those "sons of heaven" who have betrayed the righteousness of all people only continue the name of sons of heaven, but they are not sons of heaven."

"It's like a cow who always says he is a horse. Even though everyone in the world calls him a horse, he is still a cow in nature. This nature is the will of heaven, which can be inferred and sorted out. The Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven today, only have the same name, but there is no similarity at all."

When this person said this, he had already aroused the voices of many fans of the Mohism, gradually covering up the influence brought by the man with the sword.

He also said: "In ancient times, righteousness was collected into the law. However, the law has no mouth, no hands and feet, and cannot be punished. The law is illusory and cannot enforce the law on its own."

"That's why there are Si Kou and Xing Jia, who use this to exercise the will of the law, which is also one of the wills of the people. That's why there is the Si Kong, who builds walls, houses, and markets to exercise the will of the people and benefit the people; thus there is Sima was recruited, and the army was assembled to train the people, to exert the will of the people, to prevent the people from being slaughtered, this is to benefit the people..."

"In this way, the state was born. At the beginning of the state, it was only to protect the interests of the people, but in the end it was stolen as a private weapon. This is the root of the chaos in the world..."

"Since the Mohists say they want to choose the Son of Heaven, in my opinion, this can be used to establish laws and regulations, choose Sikou, Sikong, Sima, Situ and other six officials. Those who are in line with the interests of the people will be appointed; those who are not in line will be replaced. This is how right!"

"It is said that all affairs in the world are governed, and there is a saying that treats the symptoms and treats the root cause."

"If changes are made, they will only treat the symptoms. If we can benefit the people today, what will happen tomorrow?"

"If you follow the ancient righteousness, you will cure the root cause. Those who can benefit the people will go up, and those who cannot benefit the people will go down!"

"As for the natural state that the man said just now, if you want to go back, I'm afraid you didn't listen to Lao Dan who also said: If you abandon sagehood and wisdom, the people will benefit a hundred times; if you abandon benevolence and righteousness, the people will return to filial piety; ;These three are thought to be insufficient. Therefore, they have their own affiliation, and see Su Baopu, less selfishness and few desires."

"The Mohists say that the Promised Land must be compatible with the production capacity of the world. If you want to return to nature, you have to give up farming, all kinds of crafts, skills; …Let the land in the world belong to the public, and no property can be inherited, divide the world into thousands of small states, the people in the state will self-govern, and the property and land in the state will belong to the public.”

"It's like giving up an acre of corn for a single bean. Isn't it ridiculous? If not, how can you go back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people shouted: "If you really want the land to be returned to the public and the property not to be inherited, it may not be a bad thing. Everyone starts from scratch and uses fair labor in exchange for fair benefits. What's wrong with that? ? Why do you have to abandon your sages and wisdom?"

As soon as the few supporters finished speaking, a farmer who granted the land shouted: "Get out! You group of migrant workers have nothing. We still want to have land!"

"They're just a bunch of hairless chickens, and they want all the chickens in the world to be hairless!"

"The servants have nothing, they can only work for others to make a living. Of course, you hope that the land will be returned to the public, and the property will not be inherited."

"Go to the south of Jingchu. Didn't the Mohists say that there are big rivers to the south, and the land where it flows into the sea is fertile. Why don't you go to that small country with few people!"

"We want land, farming skills, writing, books and paper, and gunpowder for weapons, bows and arrows. We just need to formulate laws so that we can get them!"

Migrant servants are also a class in the city. They are handicraftsmen with free labor, not workers, because at this time only Sishang has a large workshop that requires cooperation and division of labor.

They also have their own demands and fantasies, which is not wrong, although it is just a fantasy, but it is a fantasy that will inevitably appear.

The few servants who supported the small country with few people, the return of the world to the public, and the abolition of inheritance sneered back and cursed: "If this is the case, what is wrong with the nobles inheriting their land?"

"You don't have the world in your heart at all, only your own interests. Today the king said that your taxes will be exempted, and the land will belong to you, so you won't care about the poor people in the noble fiefs!"

"Bah! You are a group of chickens who only love their own feathers! What is the difference between your granting land and those nobles' granting land? It's just that they have more and you have less!"

Kui and the others were a little confused by what they said, but when they heard the servants say this, they couldn't help cursing back: "You fart. How do you know that we will ignore people from other parts of the world? Even if we are looking for profit, we know The mainstream of the people in the world will not object, even if we help those people for our own benefit, as long as we can achieve success, there is nothing wrong!"

"Why should the land of the nobles be theirs? The Mohist said that labor creates wealth, but they didn't cultivate it. Why should it be theirs? We cultivate our land, and it is ours!"

After several people scolded at the end, some people began to push and shoved, and then some people shouted: "Fuck it, they are going to make the world chaos! They will kill the world!"

The person who was scolded like this also immediately criticized: "Shit! You don't understand anything. You people, as long as the king says to protect your self-interest, but does not change other places, you will feel at ease like dogs. Are you against the world? Waiting unevenly, I just hate myself for not being the one who benefited under the old system!"

After cursing, someone yelled loudly: "These are all mysterious truths, beyond the grasp of ordinary people. Let's only talk about profit, and talk about what will become of this little Fei country?"

Then someone shouted: "In my opinion, we should let son Luan be the king and expel the current king. Let him formulate laws, reform and progress, for the benefit of the world."

Someone else shouted: "Even if the son Luan is the king, he must be restrained by the law. If he can't agree with the people's righteousness, let him go down, put the law first, and the king is vain."

Someone else shouted: "Everyone is equal. How can he be the king? Just because his grandfather was the king? Let me tell you, there are too many sages in this world. If you don't choose a sage as the king, you will rule the law." If one can seek benefits for the people, he will be the king, and if he can’t, he will be the king. As long as a person is a virtuous person, he can be a king! It’s better to let the giant of the Mohist be the king for administration. Are you more virtuous than the giants of the Mohist school? Isn’t it stupid to ask for stones when you have jade and don’t use it?”

Some people even shouted: "As long as the individual has a system of personal consent, why should the interests of the majority follow it? Those who are willing to follow will stay, and those who are not willing to follow will have a small country with few people. Those who are willing to centralize the law will centralize the law; those who are willing to return to nature will return to nature... Separate Fei and the country, and each will conduct its own affairs."

Several people shouted and fought in a melee, unable to tell who supported what. The depression of these years and the depression of disillusionment in the past few days all broke out in this small wine shop.

I don't know who spoke first and cursed the ugly words, and the supporters of our own side fell into chaos. They finally knew the severity and didn't use weapons, just relying on fists and kicks.

A lot of beatings for an innocent man.

One person rushed over and asked, "Do you support the election of the emperor? System of laws? Administrative republic of the people?"

The innocent people said that I agree with the rule of law, but I think it is okay for the son to be the king, so I shook my head and received two punches immediately
Another person rushed over and asked, "Do you support the abolition of inheritance and the return of the world to the public?"

The innocent man thought again, abolishing inheritance is not good, if it can be reformed, he might actually become rich through hard work, and have property to pass on to his descendants, so he shook his head again, and immediately received several punches.

After finally getting up, someone came over and asked, "You..."

Before the question was finished, this innocent person learned from the previous experience and nodded immediately: "Support! I support!"

However, I don't want that person to fight against each other, the means are superb, no one needs support from others, all I need is to know who is against, and when I hear that this person directly supports what I am against, I immediately throw a few more punches...

In the chaos, there was still a person who had not spoken all this time sitting calmly in the corner, with his sword across the table, drinking tea alone.

When a strong man approached the case angrily and wanted to ask something, the man just dodged and hooked the strong man with his scabbard, and fell the strong man into the crowd. Zhang took a sip of tea and leisurely spit out the thick tea stalk.

Hearing the chaos around him, the man shook his head and sighed: "Forming a party for profit, forming a party for profit, saying that it is for the world, all for oneself. It is ridiculous, but forming a party for personal gain."

"Hey! Don't honor the virtuous, so that the people will not fight. Don't value hard-to-find goods, so that the people will not be robbers. If they don't see what they want, so that the people's hearts will not be disturbed. It is the rule of the sage, empty their hearts, fill their stomachs, and weaken their ambitions. Strengthen its bones; often make the people ignorant and desireless, and make the wise dare not do it. If you do nothing, everything will be cured."

"The world does what it wants, but I don't do it. I am self-deprecating, and the world is chaotic, so what can I do? If you don't fight, you will have a great fight, and if you don't rule, you will have a great rule."

"The world is so big, what does it matter to me? I don't feel sad when there are few people in the world who hear the Tao, and I don't like how many people in the world hear about it. If I have few desires, the world will belong to me."

This man smiled and looked at those who were fighting for righteousness, profit, law, and system, as if he saw the chaos in Zhuxia land decades later, he put away his long sword, got up and left, leaving no name or surname, and no words , Walking freely, the greatness of the world seems to be in his heart.
