Chang'an City Yong'an Fang.

"Tuk Tuk!"

Merton took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the house in front of him.

"Who!" An old voice came, and I saw a white-haired porter open the door, and when he saw Merton outside the door, he asked.

Morton solemnly bowed and said, "The Mo family Murton came to ask to see the great sage of the Legalist family, and please interpret it together." ”

"Mo family, Mo family!" The porter was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Merton in surprise.

Of course, he had heard of Merton after living in Chang'an City for a long time, and he also knew that Merton was now a student of Guozijian, and his master was a doctor of Guozijian before.

What shocked him even more was that Murton used the name of the Mo family as a prefix, not a student of Guozijian, and the porter did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Morton.

After a while, I saw a doctor of law in civilian clothes come out, his face was unusually pale, and he obviously did not recover from the blow.

"How dare you let the master come out to greet him? Students are ashamed! Merton hurriedly stepped forward.

The doctor of law shook his head and said: "In the Guozijian, you call me a master, I naturally deserve it, and at this moment you are a Mo family, and I am a Legalist, and there is no difference between high and low status. ”

The two entered the living room and sat down one after another, and Merton looked around, only to see that all the items in the doctor's house were in order, like the order of the Legalists, and he couldn't help but nod his head and praise secretly. Moreover, the doctor of law is a good cloth for both the master and the servant, but there are very few jewelry, which is just in line with the Legalist concept of emphasizing quality and not heavy decoration.

"Ah Tong! Prepare tea! The Doctor of Law commanded to the porter.

"Yes, sir!" The porter immediately left.

After Merton sat down, he hurriedly handed over a stack of books and placed them in front of the doctor's desk: "This is the code of the foreign lawyer, due to the rush of time, the students only collected some fragments, and in the future, the Silk Road will definitely send more codex, and then let the master read it." ”

The doctor of law looked moved, nodded and said: "You have a heart, but it's too late, it's a pity that among the hundred schools of thought, the two schools of Mofa are both prominent schools, and now the Mohist family has risen again although it has experienced underestimation, and the Legalist family has really declined." ”

The pardon of the 390 death row prisoners made the last sage of the Legalist family really sad and truly realized the end of the Legalist family. However, the Mo family has made a strong recovery under the leadership of Merton.

Merton persuaded: "Master's words are wrong, with a sage of the Legalist family like Master, how can the Legalist family really decline." ”

At this moment, the porter named Ah Tong made tea and brought it in, and the doctor shook his head and said, "There is only one old man, and the rest are mostly vassals of the powerful, who wantonly distort the law." The Mohists wanted to cooperate with the Legalists and fight against the Confucianists, and I am afraid they would be disappointed. ”

Merton smiled slightly: "Master's words are wrong, from ancient times to the present, the only way to become the ideology of governing the country is Taoism, Confucianism and Confucianism. The Mohists have long given up their political ideas and are concentrating on doing a good job in Moxue. ”

The doctor of law couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Merton and said: "So Confucianism is already the trend of the times, and even the Mohists don't want to compete with it. ”

Merton smiled wryly: "According to the current trend, it is true. ”

In an era when material conditions were extremely scarce and transportation was blocked, Confucian indoctrination was indeed the best choice for rulers. It is impossible to shake it in a short period of time, and it can be said that in this era, Confucianism conforms to the trend of history and is fundamentally unstoppable.

The Doctor of Law wondered, "Then what is the reason why you are here today?" ”

"The students want to ask the master to go out of the mountain and govern Mojia Village." Merton said solemnly.

The doctor of law hesitated for a while, shook his head and said: "The Mo family doesn't have its own doctrine, how can the Mo family village need the Legalist family to govern the old man!" ”

Morton said: "The Mojia doctrine governs the Mojia Village, but it is still poor, and now the Mojia Village is moving forward, and it is impossible to govern nature without doing anything, and Confucianism is not compatible with the Mohist philosophy."

At the same time, most of the people in Mojia Village are people in the same village, and there are many people in the world, and they may be able to work together in a short period of time. Coupled with the increase in the number of foreign populations, contradictions will inevitably breed, and Mojia Village will inevitably fall into internal and external troubles.

From this point of view, only the Legalist doctrine is the most practical way to govern Mojia Village. ”

The hidden worries of Mojia Village have long been revealed, but they have been covered up by the rapid development, and Merton has already had a plan to govern Mojia Village, and there happened to be a pardon for death row prisoners, and Merton just took the opportunity to invite a doctor of law to go out of the mountain.

"Ink by law!" The doctor of law asked solemnly with a fixed gaze.

"Not bad! It is to use the rule of law. Merton nodded,

"It is rumored in the world how the Mo family is so intelligent, according to the old man, no matter how high the intelligence in the world is, it can't compare to the insight of your kid. The rise of the Mo family is not lucky! The doctor of law couldn't help but sigh.

The hidden worries of Mojia Village have just emerged, and Mo Dun can detect it in time, and he can think of a solution.

"It's a pity that the old man is already disheartened, so you should hire another talent! With your knowledge, I'm afraid anyone can do it well! The doctor of law said disheartenedly.

Morton said: "The master has been lamenting the decline of the Legalist, but I don't know why the Legalist has declined, now the whole world is shrouded in Confucianism, only the Mojia Village is a pure land, if the Legalist can take this opportunity to make the Mojia Village prosperous, will be able to show the Legalist doctrine in front of the world, this is not an opportunity for the Legalist." ”

The Doctor of Law's eyes flashed, and he suddenly sneered: "Merton, you have a good idea, you are not only here to govern Mojia Village, I am afraid that with the prestige of the old man is also one of them!" ”

Doctor of Law has taught Guozijian for many years, and most of the officials of the Criminal Department are his protégés, if he joins Mojia Village, he will definitely be able to reduce a lot of trouble for Mojia Village.

Mo Dun said without any guilt: "The Mo family is prosperous, the more it can show the ability of the Legalists, and the Legalists in the Mojia Village can have independent adjudication power." ”

"Independent adjudication?" The Doctor of Law was shocked in his heart and suddenly looked at Merton.

"Yes, in Mojia Village, once there is a violation of the village rules of Mojia Village, it will be handed over to the Fajia for adjudication, and no one will interfere with it, including me! The ruling could only be overturned if all the villagers objected. Merton said solemnly.

The heart of the doctor of law was turbulent, and at this moment, he seemed to see the future of the Legalist family, and he did not expect that when he was at the lowest point of his fortune, the hope of a Legalist re-emergence appeared in front of him.

"If you want the old man to join Mojia Village, you can also do it, the old man heard that you have to participate in the year-end assessment of the Guozijian, if you can write a Legalist law that satisfies the old man during the year-end assessment, the old man will naturally agree to you." Doctor of Law said loosely.

Merton smiled slightly, and said confidently: "I will definitely not disappoint the master." ”
