I thought that this matter would be pulled down, but I didn't expect that the next day, the two boys actually came to the door, carrying a piece of pork, saying that they were apologizing for yesterday's incident, and at the same time they were willing to make friends with Ziqi, but there was a small request, that is, Ziqi needed to tell them what he had learned. Ziqi's father thought that there was no harm in this, so he agreed to let them associate with Ziqi.

After that, every once in a while, Gao He and County Zishuo brought meat and asked Ziqi to consult Yi Zai, Ziqi's father was very curious, where did these two bastards get the meat, and inquired, but they robbed it from others, and then sent it to Ziqi, and Ziqi sent it to Yi Zai. How can there be such a way of giving gifts, if others know about it, wouldn't it be bad? So Ziqi's father persuaded Gao He and County Zishuo many times not to act like this again, Ziqi went to send the items to Yi Zai, and he would prepare them. But what he said was the same as not saying it, so Gao He and County Zishuo still went their own way. Seeing that persuasion was useless, Ziqi's father simply ignored him.

Whenever Na Ziqi gained new knowledge, he would always call Gao He and Xian Zishuo, talk to them, and after coming and going, they became good friends. It's not a coincidence, today, these two people are looking for Ziqi with the meat they have robbed.

After telling this story, Mozi secretly exclaimed that it was strange that he could come up with such a method in order to learn knowledge.

"Gao He, County Zishuo, let me ask you, is this story true?"

"Real! What Uncle Yin said is true! ”

"Why do you love to hear that knowledge so much?"

"We have heard my father read since we were children, and we like it very much, but since our parents met with accidents, no one has read them to us anymore, until Ziqi appeared, so that we had the opportunity to contact again."

Mozi nodded: "Then why did I ask you to tell your life experience just now, and you two didn't keep silent?" ”

"This, this, the main reason is that the two of us acted incorrectly before, and I am embarrassed to say it, for fear of polluting the master's ears and eyes." Xian Zishuo said in a low voice.

"That's how it is!" Mozi said, "It's very good to have such an upward heart, but with my practice, I have to endure all kinds of hardships, and we can't rebel for the rest of our lives, so it's possible to do it?" ”

"Since Master has told these things in advance, that is a trustworthy person, and trustworthiness is virtue, and following Master will be able to obtain all kinds of results, we are willing!"

Mozi smiled, thinking that these two young men were human spirits, and they could analyze seven or eight in one sentence, "Okay, then I'll accept you!" ”

After receiving Mozi's answer, the two danced happily, kowtowing five times in a row, but Mozi stepped forward to pull them up, otherwise I don't know how many more kowtows.

"This is your elder brother and poultry slippery, the name is in the clouds, and they will get along well in the future and learn from each other!"

The two of them hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit, and this fowl was also happy to have two junior disciples, and said in a low voice, "The two junior disciples are really blessed, do you know, the master has two schools, and there are more than 70 disciples, but there are only three of us." ”

"Ahh Why is that? Aren't disciples and disciples almost the same? Gao He asked.

"The disciples can only get the way to govern the country and the country, and the disciples can not only get the way to govern the country and the country, but also other aspects, don't worry, you will know slowly."

"Thank you, big brother!" The two of them were overjoyed and secretly grateful to Master.

These three people are in a row, and they are twenty-one senior brothers; The county is the fourteenth son, the birthday is the second senior brother, and Gao He is the third senior brother.

That Yin Ziqi saw that his good brother worshiped the master, and was very envious, that county Zishuo and Gao He were a lot more sensible in an instant, stepped forward to comfort Ziqi, and went to Uncle Yin, hoping that Ziqi could apprentice together. But no matter what he said, Uncle Yin disagreed, and in the end he had no choice but to look at the master for help.

"You don't have to be like this, Ziqi is at home, as long as you work hard, you can also become a talent, then "Political Suo" is a strange book for governing the world. Besides, when Ziqi grows up in the future, you can also go to Qufu or Yique to find me, and at that time, I will say that you will still have the opportunity to be in the same door. Mozi comforted, "After dinner, I will give Ziqi another lecture, you can also prepare, tomorrow morning, we will set off for the west, this departure I don't know when to return." ”

This night, Mozi explained the annotation of "Political Suo" again, and this explanation was interspersed with some historical cases, which made Ziqi understand more thoroughly. Mozi didn't know that his actions today had created a "doll slaughter" in history.

The book revealed in advance that after Yin Ziqi received Mozi's guidance, he studied hard day and night, and when he was eighteen years old, that is, in 449 BC, his talent was known by King Xuan of Qi.

As mentioned above, this Acheng (where the ancient city of Dong'e County is located today) is located in the southwest border of Qi State, which is an important town, where there are many years of war and chaos, and there are endless troubles, and the later Jin people often cross the border to rob the people's property, so that the people of Li are in dire straits. Seven magistrates were changed in a row, but they did not govern Acheng well. This is sad for King Qi Xuan. After being recommended, it was said that there was an 18-year-old Yin Ziqi in Acheng, who was very talented and had a talent for governance, and King Qi Xuan was ready to call him to Acheng as a governor.

On this day, Yin Ziqi was summoned into the palace, and King Xuan asked: "Where is the foundation and essentials of governing the world?" ”

Yin Ziqi replied: "Director Jun uses officials, does not follow personal feelings, gets close to sages, and rewards meritorious people; that the government may be right, that the people may be happy, and that all men may have their place. In this way, heaven and earth will naturally obey me and become normal, and evil disasters will naturally leave us and be destroyed. If Director Jun uses officials, he is either a relative or a private favorite; I love either a beautiful woman or a person who specializes in shooting horses; Those who agree with oneself are considered good, and those who disagree with oneself are regarded as bad people. When he rejoices, he rewards as he pleases, and when he is angry, he uses punishment indiscriminately. All day long, they only care about eating, drinking, and having fun, and they ignore political affairs, so that the common people are wrongly harmed. Then, even if the seasons are smooth, and no good crops can grow in the fields, there will be no peace in society, and failure and chaos will inevitably come. ”

Yin Ziqi's words were very appreciated by King Qi Xuan, and Yin Ziqi took office soon after.

But in less than three days, there was a lot of discussion in the court, saying something: Ah Cheng has always been difficult to govern, and the king must know that Yin Ziqi is just a teenage hairy child, as the saying goes, if there is no hair on the mouth, the work is not firm, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to clean up.

The ministers of the book were one after another, and King Qi Yi couldn't make up his mind after hearing it. At first, I was moved by Yin Ziqi's words because of the sentence "If Director Jun uses officials, he is either a relative or a private favorite", the Qi State during this period was controlled by Tian Xiang Tianpan, and the monarch had no power, and King Qi Xuan also wanted to work hard. But now he is a little uncertain by the ministers below. So, he hurriedly sent a messenger to chase Yin Ziqi.

The messenger was a middle-aged man who was able to write and be good at martial arts, he was taken aback when he caught up with Yin Ziqi, looked from a distance, did not continue to step forward, turned the horse's head and hurriedly returned to the court to report to King Xuan: "Your Majesty saw Yin Ziqi, but did not come forward, I saw that he had invited five or six old men with gray hair to discuss the matter together. The old people are resourceful, the young people are energetic, and they are decisive in their work, so the subordinates judged that they would be able to govern Acheng well by combining them and brainstorming. ”

King Qi Xuan was relieved when he heard this.

After Yin Ziqi took office, combined with his understanding of Acheng over the years, and accepted the lesson that the previous Yizai did not cure Acheng, and respected the opinions of the elderly, rectified the people's customs, eliminated bandits, reassured the people's hearts, and went to various places to inspect the people's feelings; Relief for the poor people, recruit talents, and discuss the great plan for governance.

Soon, production was restored and developed. The Wei clan of the Jin Kingdom, which is adjacent to Acheng, heard that this Acheng sent a doll to be the ruler of the city, so they sent troops to attack, wanting to swallow Acheng and encroach on the territory of Qi. Yin Ziqi mobilized the people of the county to pick up knives and guns, rose up to resist the enemy, and killed the corpses of Wei soldiers all over the field, fleeing in embarrassment.

The news spread quickly as if it had grown wings, and the whole Qi country praised Yin Ziqi. King Qi Xuan wanted to pass on a decree to this "doll Yi Zai" to make a big contribution, but the ruling Tian Pantian Xiang actually agreed and approved the reward.

This may be an interpretation of the predecessors planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade, first of all, the boatman Brother Yin ferried and accumulated great virtues, attracting Mozi to teach his son, and Yin Ziqi was taught by Mozi to achieve such results.

Let's say that Mozi and the others, the next day, they said goodbye to Yin Ziqi's family, and the four masters and apprentices began to travel west. After inquiry, it was decided that the next stop was Maling Chengyi (now the intersection of Daming County and Shen County in Hebei).

There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and it may be appropriate to use it on people who were in a hurry in ancient times.

Ten miles away from Acheng, the sun was still shining at the beginning, and the hot sweat was dripping all over his body, and Gao He and County Zishuo were looking for a branch with lush foliage to stand on their heads to block the scorching sun. That Gao He couldn't help but shout in his mouth: "Why hasn't this damn sun returned to the nest yet, there is not even a wind on this day." "This year, the weather is a little dry, there has been no rain for many days, and the earth is cracked, so it's no wonder Gao He scolded.

Perhaps this scolding played a role, and the cool breeze gradually rose, and the wind came from the southeast, and slowly the wind blew violently, and then the clouds were thick.

Mozi looked up: "We have to speed up our pace, this is Yuyun was attracted by Gao He's scolding!" ”

Everyone was sweating down at this moment, and they suddenly felt refreshed, and when they heard the master say this, they all laughed, and their steps naturally accelerated. After walking for a while, the county Zishuo felt a big drop of water fall on his body. "Master! The rain is coming! As soon as he finished speaking, raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell.

I don't know when the rain will stop, and there is no good place to go to find a place to shelter from the rain, Mozi thinks about it, and he has to continue to hurry, otherwise he will stop, and the rain on his body will be cold.

"After the slippery break, Gao He and Xian Zishuo are in the middle, I lead the way in front, and they all follow, don't fall behind!" Mozi shouted, casually broke two branches and handed them to Gao He and County Zishuo, "Speed up your pace and strive to get to Maling before dark!" ”

This trip went from the previous heat, to the coolness, then to the cold, and then to the exhaustion. The two of them, Gao He and Xian Zishuo, gradually felt that their legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and their straw sandals had long since fallen off, and they followed the master at this moment, walking barefoot on the muddy mountain road and grass with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the soles of their feet were hot and miserable. The wind and rain hit his face, he couldn't open his eyes, and he couldn't tell the direction, if it weren't for the master handing a wooden stick to a few people to hold each other back and forth, it would not be said that he had been lost in the vast sea of rain at this moment. Master's words kept coming in the wind and rain, "Hold on! Can't stop! Otherwise, you will get sick when you catch a cold, and then you will be in trouble! ”

I believe that Master's words are right, several people gritted their teeth, insisting is victory, and I don't know how long they walked, and finally saw the city wall, gritted their teeth and followed Master into the city. Mozi found a small inn and hurriedly entered with the three apprentices, and as soon as Gao He and Xian Zishuo entered the inn, they sat on the ground, leaning on the table legs, and shouted weakly: "Oh mom, I'm tired, Master, Senior Brother, why aren't you tired!" "The rain quickly soaked the ground.

That Gao He moved one leg with his hand, slowly turned the soles of his feet upward, and removed the half of the straw sandals hanging on his ankles. "Master, all my feet are blistered, how do I walk the rest of the way!"

"It seems that you haven't traveled far, so let's rest and eat something first, and I'll pick some herbs and soak your feet. Slippery, you let Xiao Er have some hot water, and let them take a hot bath later, relieve fatigue and drive away the cold. After Mozi finished his order, he left.

That Gao He and Xian Zishuo sat on the ground, really didn't want to move, and the birds came over and helped them to the table one by one. "Hurry up and eat something, when Master comes back, take a hot bath, and it'll be fine." After speaking, he smiled again, "In the future, I will follow the master, and I will suffer such hardships, so I have to adapt to it quickly." ”

The two hummed and chirped to eat some food, drank some water, leaned on the table, and gradually came up with fatigue, and were about to fall asleep, when Mozi came back, looked at the two apprentices, and said with a smile: "Don't sleep first, and then sleep after taking a bath." After speaking, he instructed Xiao Er to put the herbs in the bath bucket and send them to the guest room. The herbs include Panax notoginseng, safflower and blood-turning medicine, as well as wormwood, ginger and the like.
