Chapter 819 Controversy Difficulty ([-])

Shi Jiao was silent.

Yes, how can it be considered Dazhi?

Is the people rich?Is the army strong?Or enlightenment and prosperity?

What is Dazhi?
If everything is done well, it is considered a great rule, but if you can't do everything and have a trade-off, which one is considered a great rule?In other words, which one is the great governance that can be entrusted with important tasks in the eyes of princes and monarchs?
In this town of hundreds of miles, there is no need to consider survival, military affairs, but only the prosperity of the people. It seems... these are not great governance in the eyes of the monarch.

Wei Yang sighed and said, "Sir, have you ever forgotten about Ximen Leopard?"

"Ximen Leopard hid soldiers and wealth from the people. The Marquis of Wei was very dissatisfied, thinking that Ye was dead. After arriving in Ye, Ximen Leopard beat drums and recruited soldiers. The people won food and followed suit. Wei Marquis was overjoyed, and he knew Ye Earth rule."

"From the eyes of the princes, the great rule they see has nothing to do with the people. As long as the country is rich and the army is strong, it can be called great rule."

"How many people in the world agree with what the Mohists call benefiting the people?"

Shi Jiao and Wei Yang are both from the Central Plains, close to the Three Jin Dynasties, and have heard a lot of stories about Ximen Bao. At this time, Wei Yang explained the situation with the story of Ximen Bao's governance of Ye, and Shi Jiao also understood that this seemed to be the case.

He knew his disciple's aspirations, and hoped to become famous in this troubled world, and seek fame so that no one in the world would know it.After all, the Mo family was not a place where he could realize his ambitions and ideals.

"I am old and you are young, so where do you want to go?"

Wei Yang thought for a while and said: "In the future, Qin, Chu, and Mo will compete in the world. The three Jins are already weak, and the people of Qi may not be able to rise. It can be done."

"It's just that the land of Chu is close to Sishang, and there are many lords... If the land of lords and the power of ministers can be reduced, Chu people can dominate, but it is really difficult."

"I want to enter Qin."

Shi Jiao praised: "This is the best. Qin Jun is thirsty for talents, recruits sages from all over the world, and reuses people from outside Qin. I was in Jin in the past, and I also communicated with Wu Qi. If I enter Qin, I can make a difference." .”

"It's just that even if you enter Qin, there are many sages in Qin now, and you still need to start as a government official."

Wei Yang smiled and said, "Sir, don't forget that although Wu Qi, Sheng Chuo and others have talents, they are... all old."

Shi Jiao nodded, and said: "Actually, I also have the same intention. If that's the case, you can bring some people into Qin. I won't go when I'm old."

This is considered to be an extremely rare opportunity to allow Wei Yang to become an official and use his previous relationship to recommend him.

At this time, there is a difference between a tourist and an orthodox enfeoffer. If you are not from aristocratic background, if you want to get a chance to become an official, you really need a recommendation.

This is also the reason why many people joined the Mohism with various purposes back then. Without the recommendation of famous figures of the school, it was difficult for people of common origin to get a chance to perform.

Shi Jiao is from the Jin Dynasty, and he became famous very early. In the early years, he also dealt with some veterans from the Wei Wenhou era, and Wu Qi had many exchanges after entering Wei.

Now that Wu Qi is over sixty years old, the way Shi Jiao paved the way for his favorite disciple is to hope that Wei Yang can be a guest of Wu Qi's mansion first, or a subordinate official, and give him a chance to show his talent, so that he can take advantage of it. This level of relationship is directly promoted to a higher level.

Sishang’s system is slowly rising from the bottom. Although the Qin State has undergone reforms and most of them are virtuous, the promotion mechanism is restricted by the times. It can only be said that "officials" and low-level military officers can guarantee promotion, but it is really difficult to enter the center. They also need their own recommendations, or lobbying after becoming famous.

In the previous debates about the political affairs of the Song Dynasty, Wei Yang was also famous, because the academic center was transferred from Linzi and Xihe to Sishang, so in some debates in Sishang, he could become famous even if he paved a gilded road.

Being young is not a problem, you can practice more. The biggest problem facing Qin State now is that Wu Qi, Sheng Chuo and others are 30 years younger than Qin Jun. When Qin Jun was a hostage in Wei State, Wu Qi Sheng Chuo had already led the army Qilu fought and became famous.

At the time when he was in the middle of nowhere, it was necessary to prepare candidates for the future administration of Prince Qin, so as to prevent the death of the government. Shi Jiao had to admire Wei Yang's choice of timing and angle.

Shi Jiao also agrees with Wei Yang's judgment that the future competition in the world is nothing more than Qin, Chu, and Mo. Wei Guo has been reverted to its original state since the death of Marquis Wen. Expansion, the other two will inevitably choose to turn their faces, this is an inextricable knot.

Now that the Qin land has reformed and is still deepening, coupled with the age factor, it is really a good place to make contributions and achieve fame in the future.

However, Wei Yang said: "I want to travel to Qin State first."

He took out the "Social Survey" given to them by the Mohists and said: "Like these Mohists, by doing research and knowing the customs of the Qin land, the likes and dislikes of the Qin people, and the geography of mountains and rivers, you can know what to do to make the country rich and strong. "

"It's just that the Mohist's so-called great governance is for the people to have no three difficulties." The so-called great governance of the princes means that the treasury is sufficient and the people are good at fighting. This is different, but the purpose can be different, and their means and methods can be used for reference. .”

Shi Jiao praised: "The stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. If you can resist the temptation of fame and meritorious service, keep your feet on the ground, and you will surely achieve great things in the future."

…………

After a month, the preface belongs to Sanqiu, which is already September.

In Pengcheng, I got the news that many of Shijiao's disciples left the Song Dynasty and went to the Song Dynasty. There is a full-time intelligence department on Sijiao, or it is called "Suppressing Harm", which is extremely clearing up those who harm the world to benefit the world. meaning.

This is just a normal report, after all, Wei Yang is only a young man at this time, and he has just overwhelmed the farmer in a debate on Sishang, and has a slight reputation.

Shi Shi looked at it, shook his head and laughed, thinking that this is really entering the Qin Dynasty again, and it is a good choice.

After all, Sishang needs righteousness, even if you are an opportunist who wants to gain fame and fortune, at least you have to do superficial work, at least you must superficially agree with the morality of the Mohist school.

Since these people are going to leave, there is no need to keep them. The general trend of the world cannot be reversed by one or two people. Although the heroes are very useful, in fact, the road of Qin's reform cannot be stopped.

And if they can't stop, they will launch a war, and Xihe will bear the brunt of it. No matter how you look at it, this is a good thing for Sishang.

The leader of the anti-harm department saw that he was casually smiling there, and then said: "Young man, there is another thing, that is, all countries now recognize the students who are in the same order, and what's more, they send secret workers to promise high-ranking officials and generous salaries." Or a fiefdom, so that these people can go."

"Recently, two people have been noticed, intending to escape from Sishang. Some people may say, I am more talented than those nobles and scholars, but I have to start from scratch in Sishang, but I can directly reach more than ten miles elsewhere. Fiefdom...or some people say that there are so many living beings in Sishang, but they can be regarded as different and promising in other places..."

After receiving the report, Shi took a look at some of the conversations above, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, we can't expect everyone in the world to benefit the world."

The person from the Harm Reduction Department asked, "Then how should we deal with it?"

Shi Shi waved his hand and said: "Don't move first, give a little warning, and be reasonable. If you really want to run, catch it back immediately and send it to the South China Sea to build a paradise. That's what I think. I don't know what they mean. When the time comes Mention it."

The person from the killing department frowned and said: "If you really want to run away, it is easy to catch, but what is the reason? They are not Mohist, if they are Mohists, they have family rules. But they are just people, at least they have to have a reasonable reason what."

Sending them to the South China Sea to build a paradise is an internal punishment measure of the Mohists, and it is generally not used on non-Mohists.

There is indeed no way to escape at this time, but policies can be introduced as soon as possible and clearly announced. However, the key is that the Mohists must obey the will of heaven and reason, and this is a bit difficult to do.

The most difficult thing to do is that the Mohists only recognize the world, and it is a taboo to think that Sishang is a country.

Therefore, in terms of legislation, reasoning, and people's emotional dislikes and preferences, we cannot lean in a direction similar to "treason".

Shifan asked: "If Sishang was born as a commoner like 20 years ago, how many people can go to school to read, and even enter a university like Xiangxu to learn the world's scenery, history and astronomy?"

The man shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult. In the past, being able to read and write was enough to be a soldier, but now it's not unusual in Sishang. Soldiers are also literate."

Shi said again: "I'm not saying that I'm doing meritorious service for our Mohist school. It's wrong to think that we saved them, so we have the right to dispose of them."

"Instead, the establishment of schools, teacher training, and off-the-job studies all require money, right? Outside of Sishang, to be able to learn like this, at least it is possible for a sergeant's family? The annual cost is Si From the people above; in the future, the world will benefit greatly, it will come from the people of the world.”

"Now that I have learned it, I want to get fame and fortune? Let's not talk about emotions, but about benefits."

"You can leave, and make up for the taxes that the people have paid for each of them over the years, the money spent on training teachers, and the money spent on building schools."

"Going to be a feudal lord in another country violates the principle of equality, benefiting the people and not being a silverfish. Of course, the people don't agree. Then you have to pay it back on your body."

"If you owe debts and are unable to repay them, you have no ambition to benefit the world, and you even respect the life of silverfish, then Sishang officials must not be able to do it. I think it is best to send it to the South China Sea. At least send it there, There are more various subsidies, and I think it will be paid off in about 20 years."

"We have to be reasonable, we can't be unreasonable."

This is indeed a very normal phenomenon. Although the overall living standard of Sishang and the life of low-level officials are better than other places, it is definitely not as good as those princes and generals. With such a big temptation, how many people feel that their level is enough? Enjoy a better life, that's okay too.

Normal is normal, what should be caught must be caught, and the truth must be explained.

The person from the anti-harm department smiled and said: "What the giant said really makes sense. Then a series of laws and regulations should be issued as soon as possible for this matter. Although there are family rules, they do not apply to the public."

After finishing this section, the people from the killing department took out two more reports and said, "There are two more things. The Great Sima of Chu is already negotiating with Wei Han, but Wei Han shouted and thought about the information sent from there. fight, but Chu people don't want to fight..."

"At present, the princes have not yet acknowledged the coup of the Song Dynasty. Although Song Gong sent envoys, the attitudes of the countries are very cold. It seems that they are waiting for the attitude of Wei, Hanchu. On the Song side, the constitution must be held as soon as possible. Officially replace Dayin and reform the political situation. Should we admit it as soon as possible, and send some people of sufficient level to watch the ceremony as soon as possible?"

After receiving the information about Wei Hanchu's alliance this time, he patted and said: "The biting dog doesn't bark, Wei Han barked so loudly, but never mentioned the emperor's father Yueling's anti-mo call. Violating the righteousness of non-offensive, posing a threat to the peace of the world and eliminating soldiers... until now, I haven't fully prepared, so damn it, I can't fight!"
