Chapter 650 New Strategy ([-])

When another farce of abdication in Linzi of Qi State was about to take place, several members of the Shihe army left the army and rushed back to Sishang without stopping.

The information from the Mohists in Linzi was accurate, and the success of the coup d'etat in Qi State was a foregone conclusion. Tian Wu fled without a trace, and Qi State had no ability to resist.

All this made the Mo family finally heave a sigh of relief, and began to deal with the problem that the Mo family did not have a real giant after Qin Huali became seriously ill.

Actually it doesn't matter.

Some things are foregone.

The important thing is...a brand new era is coming, and at the beginning of this new era, we will face a series of major events related to the basic strategy of the Mohist school for more than ten years, such as the alignment peace talks, the new Sishang law, and the alliance of princes.

The rules of the Mohist School make it necessary for all Mohist high-level officials to return to discuss together.

Just as the counselors around Tian Shan thought, Tian Wu and the Mo family had no personal enmity, Tian Wu was not important, the important thing was that Tian Wu who slaughtered Wucheng had to die in front of the world.

Therefore, the news that "Tian Wu hid in the palace and was arrested" from the fleeing Tian Wu and Qi State, whether true or not, proves that the general trend of the Qi-Mo war is set.

The only possible unexpected forces are now busy fighting, changing and licking their wounds.

It's time to return to Sishang to discuss major issues together.

…………

In a house somewhere in Sishang, Qin Huali, who had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes due to serious illness, tried his best to smile at Shi, and said in inarticulate words: "Don't forget the ambition of benefiting the world."

Then he stopped talking, but nodded to the person next to him, who took out a thick letter written by the person around Qin Huali.

After leaving the door, Shi asked Qin Yue humanely: "Juzi's condition..."

The Qinyue people shook their heads and said, "I'm afraid I won't make it through the end of the year."

The two sighed in unison. They had all witnessed the death of those Mohist ancestors. After Wei Yue squeezed out, there were only a few people left.

There are more and more new faces, comrades with one heart and one mind, Shi is not alone, but it is a bit sad.

The life in Sishang is still the same, flourishing day by day, hustle and bustle, people in the market are in a hurry, showing vitality.

However, those words of Mo Di before his death always weighed on Shi's heart. Mo Zi saw the beauty of the new era, and also saw the ugliness of the new era in the last month of his life. He once asked if Shi could be eradicated. He lied to Mozi that he could jump to the ultimate paradise in one step, and sent Mozi away.

Not many people knew what he said, and Shi also knew that he was lying to Mozi who was seriously ill back then.

Now, Qin Huali is about to pass away again. I glanced at the things dictated on the hospital bed before his death. Qin Huali is full of hope for the future. He didn't say a word about how the Mohism should develop and grow in the future, but focused on talking about it. Under the new era, those new sufferings that did not exist during the feudal system.

There are many things before the Mo family, and the road is long.

In the afternoon of the next day, more than 50 Mohists from all over the Mohists who had previously been selected as Wuhai, alternate Wuhai, and committee members gathered together. Although there were still about a dozen Mohists who could not return, they could already hold a fellowship meeting .

Grandson Gao, who was seriously ill and presided over the daily work before, is no longer the presiding officer of this meeting. His proper status determines that he must preside over it when he returns.

Among the more than 50 people, I saw the figure of Gaozi. Although the ranking was low, he was called by his comrades in Mo Di's era as "speaking of benevolence and righteousness, acting benevolent and righteous, and not expelled" and evaluated by Mozi as "who wants to win an official position". The situation of people sitting here who have done righteousness, and their own contradictions have not been resolved and negotiated to resolve the contradictions in the world, can be regarded as a microcosm of Mohism today.

The group of rationalists who joined the Mohists before King Zhou An became old and dead, and a new batch of people grew up. Many of them were speculative, and everyone knew that.

Gao Zi can be regarded as a veteran Mohist, who entered Mohism earlier than Shi Shi, and lived a long life. The first battle after Mencius completed his studies was a debate on "human nature", using the method of secretly changing concepts Unilaterally declared victory.

Gaozi is talented, and this must be admitted, but the internal reputation of the Mohist school is not very good, and he was criticized by Mozi by name, but later because the Mohist family grew stronger, he also "changed his appearance".

Regardless of the heart, those old Mohists who knew Gaozi's previous thoughts were gradually withering. Gaozi also followed the rules of the Mohist school, and now he has also been selected into the core outer layer of the Mohist school.

The main reason why Gao Zi was rejected by the comrades in the Mohist school was that he liked to be high-profile, and he chanted the slogans of benefiting the world and benevolence and righteousness louder than anyone else, but when he did it himself, it was not like that.

This can be changed, and it is better to say that it is beneficial to the world than to be unfavorable to the world. With his own talents, no one knows what he thinks in his heart.

Now that he "knows his mistakes, he can improve a lot." According to the organizational procedures of the Mohist school, Gaozi can't find any faults in these years.

For some things, there is no problem at all if you follow the rules, but there are too many difficult things to understand and deal with outside the rules.

In addition, Shi itself does not object to the entry of speculators, because the Mohist administrative system has too many people, and it is really impossible to gather so many people only by idealists.

These are all potential problems. The Mohist family has gone so smoothly all the way, and there is no catastrophe that makes everyone show their true colors.

In addition, more and more Sishang locals became Mohists, and formed a gradually growing force, which made those groups in the Mohism that "gathered the world's people" and "Sishang as non-aggressive and established the country" groups Conflicts also need to be resolved.

The contradiction between industrial and commercial development and farmers is also a problem, even a microcosm of the previous problem.Farmers are too conservative, and the benefits of external expansion of industry and commerce are not very attractive to them, because the Mohist school does not grant land with military merits, and has completed land reform; industry and commerce need a vast market and foreign conquest, expansion, and colonization, especially at the handicraft level of the Mohist school When it is better than the princes of the world, what is needed is the market.

Rewards for plowing and fighting by military meritorious lords will stimulate the enthusiasm of farmers, but the question is what to do next?Get rid of the nobles, and then create a bunch of new military meritorious landlords?Moreover, the military merit system of the Qin State is also a semi-serf system, and the land granted must be cultivated, otherwise a family of nine cannot hire someone to give him [-] mu of land. Can he cultivate it?

This problem needs to be solved.

The white-haired Gao grandson still stubbornly wears straw sandals and short brown. The contradiction between the self-suffering and extreme faction represented by him and the newly grown faction that believes that self-suffering should be enjoyed properly also needs to be resolved.

There is also a huge contradiction between the Mohist regime that has been stabilized, and the Mohist class as a place where they can become an official, and the Mohist internal morality spirit of "righteousness comes first, salary comes later, and death for the benefit of the world does not follow".

A few years before this, there was a big joke that became a street joke in Sishang.

Because before the Battle of Lishui that year, the Mohist propaganda mainly focused on "non-attack", "stopping the war", "respecting the virtuous", and "removing soldiers", and the Mohism's policy of honoring the virtuous regardless of high or low made the Many scholars came to Sishang with a rather subtle state of mind after the Battle of Lushui ended and the Mohists took control of Sishang.

The scholar class can be regarded as the cultural class of this era, but their quality varies.

Naturally, there are capable people like Wu Qi, but there are also people who think they are superior to others.

And the Mohist side is hindered by a problem-the culture of the Mohist side is a fusion of Mohism, Taoism, Law, and those things that are known, which leads to an embarrassing problem-some scholars in the eyes of the Mohist , In fact, it is not a cultural person.

When it comes to Nine Numbers, the study of Nine Numbers is in Sishang, which is known all over the world.

When it comes to Jiarong, it is well known that Jiarong is the strongest in the world.

When it comes to the Six Books, Sishang Mohist’s writing is different from that of the princes, and it is simplified and has a Qin flavor, but it is different.

When it comes to rites and music, to put it bluntly, the Mohists themselves were once superstitious, and the methods and objects of sacrifice were different from the mainstream of the times.

When it comes to morality and righteousness, Mohism's righteousness is self-contained and self-improving.

This led to the fact that the Mohists could do it alone without the nobles, because the Mohists did not need the nobles as officials of the ruling class.

However, it also led to many taxis who thought they were unparalleled in talent, and it was difficult to locate them accurately after they arrived in Sishang.

And the mentality of some people coming to Sishang is really ridiculous.

For example, the joke a few years ago originated from the exclamation of two scholars in the restaurant after drinking.

First, a man who felt that he was talented and would be reused when he got to Sishang, used his strength to drink, flicked his sword and sang "Shang Chang" in front of the wine shop.

Zihui thinks about me, and wears clothes to wear Qin.If you don't think about yourself, don't you have others?Crazy child madness also!
Zihui thinks about me, and clothes are involved.If you don't think about yourself, don't you have others?Crazy child madness also!
This song is very emotional, in fact, it is a song about a woman coquettishly flirting with a man.

Translated, it is:
If you really love me, come to me across mountains and rivers.If you don't look for me, I'm going to run away with others, some people are chasing me.You stupid stupid you.

Singing to sing aspirations, playing a sword to sing about love, of course it is not about love.

Besides, if a woman is coquettish, she is beautiful, but if a man is so coquettish, it is a bit disgusting. This is singing that I have talents, and I will not leave my father behind, and I will vote for the princes.

After singing, a fellow taxi next to him also sang along.

But he sang a little more tactfully than this partner, and sang "摽 Youmei".

There are plums, but they are actually seven!Beg me, a common man, to be lucky.

There are plums, but they are actually three!I beg my common man, let me go now.

There are plums, and they are all in a basket!Ask me to be a common man, let him call it.

This one is more euphemistic than the last one because he didn't say "I'm going to run away with someone else" so bluntly, but said that I'm going to marry you now, come and marry me...

After singing, it spread to the ears of some Mohists.

Some Mohists laughed and said: "Lu Shengyi is also unusable, and talented, there is no need for it."

Let these two people study, but they don't study, thinking that their talents are enough to be officials, and they are famous for their madness.

Then he was speechless and ashamed when asked in public by several young military cadets, and he would never enter the land of Sishang again.
