Mohist Tang

The west wind whistles and the cold winter comes. With a heavy snowfall, everything is dormant, like the dormant Hundred Schools of Thought. Generally, they are silently waiting for the arrival of spring and the period of revival.

On the rammed earth official road in Liaozhou, southwest China, a huge motorcade is driving slowly against the cold wind. Although the temperature in Liao person Sanzhou is not low, the cold air is everywhere. People can’t help but sweat.

“Shouldn’t it be warm in the south? Why is it so cold?” Kong Huisuo embraced his hands, his teeth shaking on the ropeway.

Mo Da on the side also trembled his legs and said: “Kong Young Master knows something. I usually wear cotton clothes in the north. There are stoves and heaters in the house, and I dont even wear single clothes when I enter the house. I dont feel the cold, and look at this Liaozhou, although the temperature is not low, the air is extremely humid and cold, and the houses are mostly wood houses, which do not keep warm at all.”

This time a trip to Liaozhou The purpose of the Mohist Family is to make Liaozhou rich, and Mo Da, who has been in charge of the Mohist Family test field, is the most suitable candidate.

“Why is the local Liao person so not afraid of the cold?” Kong Huisuo pointed to the curiously large number of Liao person children in the caravan. Even in such a cold day, the Liao person children are still in single clothes, but still move freely. .

Seeing Kong Huisuo’s gaze, the mother of the Liao person child pulled the child back and stared at the huge Han Chinese motorcade warily. The Liao persons tri-state rebellion has just been put down, and the previous hatred is not so easy to forget.

Mo Da thought about it after seeing this: “There is a little story circulating in Mohist Village that may be able to overcome the confusion of Young Master. According to legend, there was a landlord who loved to tease people. There was a snowy day and a dress Thin, shiver coldly beggar came to the landlords house to beg. Upon seeing this, the landlord couldnt help but aroused a teasing heart, so he said: “As long as you can stand by my door for one night, 2nd day is still there, I will take half of the house. Give you.

Beggar watched the snowy weather and listened to the voice of stomach rumbling with hunger. Clenched the teeth agreed. Soon the night passed, the local lord opened the door again, but saw that Berggar unexpectedly Still staying at his door, although shiver coldly, he was still alive and kicking. The landlord had no choice but to give half of his home to Beggar. The former Beggar became a rich man overnight.”

“This The landlord really deserved it, and in the end he lifted a rock and hit him in the foot!” Kong Huisuo listened to his relief.

Mo Da nodded said: “Naturally, the landlord is not willing to lose half of his family property. One year has passed, and it is the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month. When the landlord thought of another strategy, he found the old beggar way. As long as you stand in the snow for another night, I will give you the other half of the property. If you cant make it, I will return half of my property to me.”

Beggar, hearing this Im overjoyed, isnt this a pie in the sky? He won half of the landlords property last year. Its not easy to get the other half back this time. Nodded without the slightest hesitation agreed, but when he took off his white fur I took off my warm leather hat and put on my old beggar costume, but I found out how extremely cold this winter was. Although beggar tried every means to keep warm, he was so cold before midnight that he couldnt stand it anymore. Half of the property is returned to the landlord. “

Kong Huisuo could not help being silent for a moment: “It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. A year of rich life has completely made Beggar completely lose the physique that resists the cold, just like I have been waiting for a long time. In the north, enjoy the warmth of the fire and heating, but can’t stand the cold wind. “

Mo Da said with a bitter smile: “The saddest thing is in Xia. Four years ago, Xia was like a beggar, unclothed, but in the face of the cold winter, she still lived calmly in light clothes. However, who would have thought that after only four years of good life, A certain Mohist is wearing thick clothes, and he still feels the biting cold wind. “

The two looked at the thinly-clothed children and Laomin on both sides, and then at the thick clothes they were wrapped tightly around, and couldn’t help feeling again and again.

Kong Huisuo said loudly. “To spend the winter without clothing is not what the people want, but a frustration. The purpose of waiting for me to come today is to make the Laomin of the three states wear thick clothes in winter instead of thin bodies. Resist hard and accept His Highness education in a warm house, instead of running around in the cold wind all day long to make a living. “

Mo Da believes that nodded, since Mohist Village can live a good life, other villages can also imitate Mohist Village to live a good life.

The people of Min Sanzhou put on warm cotton-padded clothes, and if they were to take it off, it would be impossible. They could only focus on Great Tang.

Soon, the Mohist Family and the Confucian team came to Liao person Sanzhou Yazhou, Yazhou is the center of the three states. Niu Jinda, who is responsible for monitoring Laomin, is stationed in Yazhou.

Although Yazhou is called a state, it is on the same level as Great Tangs county, with only one dilapidated , The city wall covered with stab wounds and arrow holes is obviously a trace of the last war.

“pay respects to General Niu! “Kong Huisuo and Mo Da are both hands-off.

The Confucian and Mohist family arrived in Liaozhou and immediately came to visit Niu Jinda. The Confucianist and Mohist family wanted to open the situation in the three states of Liao person, and there was no Niu. Jinda’s support is impossible.

“It turned out that the great sages of the Confucian and Mohist families came, but the old man is looking forward to it! “Niu Jinda said loudly. He is responsible for suppressing Laozhou. The situation here is unstable and there are many contradictions between Laomin and Han people. If it is really as enlightened by the Confucian and Mohist two, then he can finally get rid of this difficult place. I’m back to Chang’an City.

“General Niu has passed the award, and I am ashamed of it. “Kong Huisuo politely said. Although Mo Da and Kong Huisuo pass, but there is no good reputation after Kong Huisuo after the Kong family, this trip will be headed by Kong Huisuo.

“Where! where! After Master Kong was Saint Confucius, he inherited Saint Confuciuss ambition to educate the people. Although Niu is said to be a vulgar person, he usually despises the sour Confucian who is full of morals, but for the practical person like Master Kong, that is really good. admire. “Niu Jinda said without cover.

Kong Huisuo couldn’t help but smile wryly, so he had to say: “Everything requires the help of General Niu. “

Niu Jinda said boldly: “Don’t worry, as long as there are any difficulties, even if you open your mouth, Lao Tzu’s 10,000 army can not be trifled with.” “

Kong Huisuo quickly shook his head and said: “General Niu, this is not a time to use force, otherwise the Imperial Court will not send us over. “

Niu Jinda glanced at Kong Huisuo meaningfully and said: “Then you have a hard time, the people here are not so friendly to the Han people!” “

At first, Kong Huisuo didnt know what Niu Jindas words meant. He didnt understand until when he started to teach the people. He didnt understand what Niu Jinda meant by suffering. .
