Chapter 42: Listening to the Ink (II)

When he saw Ying Zheng sitting, he was happy in his heart: "People can be strong because of the strength of all people, and they can be rich and noble, so Zi Mozi said: Love is that people should love others." ”

"And when a man stands in the world, he will receive the benefit of man."

"The king and grandson live in peace, and they are benefited by their parents, the prince Chu lives in peace, and they are benefited by the king of Qin, and the king of Qin lives in peace, and the people live in peace, and they receive mutual benefits."

"From the knowledge of oneself comes from others."

"Fine wines and delicacies, fine clothes, and weapons of soldiers all come from the truth."

"Therefore a man should love himself, love others, benefit himself and others."

"This so-called: love each other, mutual benefit."

"So, can Wang Sunzheng understand?" After the inquiry, he asked.

Ying Zheng did not have the slightest confusion and confusion on his face.

He looked at it with interest: "In that case, then why do people have a distinction between high and low rank, high and low?" ”

Inquire about breathing stagnation.

He opened his mouth: "What does Wang Sunzheng mean by this?" ”

"The fact that people can survive in the world because of the help of others is a truth that everyone in the world must recognize."

"However, sir, since all people survive and help each other grow, then people should be equal, right?" Ying Zheng smiled playfully: "People help each other, there is no distinction between high and low, and people are "mutually beneficial", so it is natural that a "villain" is always benefiting the "gentleman", "prince and grandson", "prince" and "king", and it is natural that the "gentleman" should also benefit the "villain". ”

"But why...... Does politics need to benefit "villains"? ”

Ying Zheng's eyes burned and he looked at the inquiry.

The Mohists are really more interesting than Confucianism!

Ying Zheng is already excited.

The theoretical basis of "mutual love and mutual benefit" is that people rely on the help of others to survive in this world.

Translated into Ju Zizhou's words, it is: the social division of labor contributes to the survival and development of people themselves.

Helping each other and loving each other are all derived from this principle.

And from this, it can be derived that among the truths, "everyone is equal" is the most rooted.

What Ying Zheng is questioning is also this derivative truth.

"According to the principles of the Mo family, people are equal, right?" Ying Zheng looked at the inquiry.

Xun took a deep breath and stared at Ying Zheng who was full of excitement: "Wang Sunzheng is a talent for learning, and he only sees it in his life!" ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Not bad!" Inquire sigh.

He didn't want to tell Ying Zheng about the foundation of these Mohist theories so soon - Ying Zheng is a nobleman, a surname given by birth, and the grandson of the Qin king of the Yin Tuming clan, who is naturally superior.

Telling Ying Zheng that "everyone is equal" is to damage Ying Zheng's legitimate interests as a "prince and grandson" in front of him.

I was already desperate in my heart.

"People who are built into the world because of their help should love each other and help each other."

"If you are human, you are equal! There should be no distinction between high and low because of their origin! ”

Ken sighed, pressed his hands on his knees, and wanted to get up and leave.

Mo, although the righteousness is not accepted by others, they themselves will not turn their backs on the truth of their beliefs!

Ying Zheng looked at the action of the inquiry and slowly spoke: "What Mr. said is right. ”

"But sirβ€”if the reason is right, then why is there a distinction between the noble and the low?"

Xun looked at Yingzheng in surprise, and his heart was full of disbelief.

Wang Sunzheng, agreed with the righteousness of the Mo family?

He recognized the principle that "all men are equal"?

How is this possible?

I feel the absurdity that I can't dissolve.

But he couldn't answer Ying Zheng's question immediately.

This question is also something that their Mo family has been unable to answer by relying solely on their own righteousness.

Because of this, the Mohists are often ridiculed by Confucianism as "utopian".

- The principles of the Mohists do not correspond to the reality of the world.

Of course, others can say: That's because the righteousness of the Mohists is wrong.

But the Mohists themselves are wrong not to believe in their own righteousness.

However, they could not find a way to explain reality.

The Mohists, in this area, lack a "realistic foundation".

"Virtue is uneven." Ying Zheng's fiery gaze urged him to be a little impatient.

He threw out a conclusion that he had conceived: "The actions of the heavenly ghosts are also to see the world's journey in the underworld." ”

"People have the superiority and inferiority of virtue, those who are virtuous, those who are virtuous, those who are virtuous, those who are virtuous, those who are virtuous, and those who are disgusted by heavenly ghosts."

"Those who are blessed with heavenly ghosts can enjoy wealth in the world; Those who are disgusted by the heavenly ghosts will have bad luck. ”

"If you fish, you can't catch it; Hunt, you can't get it. ”

"There is a distinction between rich and poor over the years, and there is a difference between the rich and the low."

In the process of fighting each other, everyone is absorbing each other's advantages to strengthen themselves.

The Mohists really did not absorb much from Confucianism, and the moral narrative was definitely the big one.

Ying Zheng frowned.

This explanation is also reasonable.

But it doesn't always feel right.

"Sir, please continue!" Ying Zheng said again.

……

The victims got to work.

Wang Jian watched the orderly appearance of the ink artists guiding the victims out of the city to cut trees or dig deep ditches, and suddenly felt that it seemed to be a pleasure to watch others work like this.

Doing things in an organized and orderly manner is really comfortable to look at!

He thought so, but he didn't notice that more and more people were coming to work.

Many people took off their shoes and joined in the work.

Wang Jian didn't notice all this, but Ju Zizhou did.

The disaster victims' work all day yesterday was actually seen by the people in Xianyang City.

They watched the victims work, watched the victims eat meat, and watched the victims receive their wages.

After a day of wait-and-see, it was confirmed that Yingzheng fulfilled his promise that he would eat meat and polished rice for those who did the work, and would pay the people who did the work.

So the people in Xianyang City believed in Yingzheng.

β€”β€”The facts are in front of us, and everyone is still willing to believe this Royal Highness Wang Sun, who has never heard of it before.

As a result, some people who did not suffer from disasters but did not live very well-off also joined the ranks of the work.

After working for Wang Sunzheng, these people who are not rich will be able to eat his food and receive his wages.

Ju Zizhou looked at such a scene, and his tense heartstrings were finally loosened.

"Okay, finally laid the "foundation of trust"! ”

After Ju Zizhou's heart settled down, he only felt sleepy, so he went back to his room and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already late at night, the lights in the room were dim, and Ying Zheng sat at the table and looked at the newly written bamboo slips before Ju Zizhou went to sleep, and he was particularly fascinated.

"Ask someone to get me something to eat." Ju Zizhou said.

"Senior brother is awake." Ying Zheng laughed and put down the bamboo slip in his hand: "I've already prepared dinner for you." ”

As he spoke, his voice raised slightly: "Xiong Dang, ask someone to bring the prepared dishes." ”

"No." Outside the room, Xiongdang answered, and then the sound of departing footsteps sounded.

"Today, nothing went wrong, right?" Ju Zizhou asked.

Ying Zheng shook his head: "Of course there is no fork, although my ability is not as good as that of my senior brother, but it is still enough to deal with the current matter, not to mention, the senior brother also left me a bamboo slip silk book." ”

"That's good." Ju Zizhou nodded: "You are in charge of your own business today, do you have any feelings?" ”

"Civil cumbersome!" Ying Zheng replied: "There is knowledge in eating and drowning, and today's book, the number of people who come to receive wages has really increased!" ”

"This group of people needs to be treated differently from those who were inherent yesterday!" Ju Zizhou said: "They are the people who have just witnessed the facts and believed you, and in terms of private property, they should be above the "poor peasants" and below the "rich peasants". ”

"I'm here to help you work, but it's only because the loss of food makes them desperate to find some money from somewhere else, not really need to rely on you to survive."

"So they don't trust me that much?" Ying Zheng asked.

Ju Zizhou nodded: "That's right." ”

"The relationship is still not solid...... Ying Zheng sighed: "But speaking of which, I have two things I want to ask my senior brother." ”

"What two things?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"The Confucian scholars we subdued on the way back to Qin have a fight with the newly recruited ink scholars today."

And ...... I have learned the principles of the Moshi, and I always feel that something is wrong, and I want to ask my senior brother for advice. Ying Zheng said casually.
