Dai Yan then continued: "The craftsmen and farmers who can govern the country are not ordinary craftsmen and farmers, they must also learn enough knowledge and have enough understanding of things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And to get to this point, you have to be taught by science. ”

Hearing this, most of the scholars, except for Zou Yan of the Yin and Yang family, flashed a trace of contempt.

Academia needs to serve the rule, and although the Jixia Academy advocates academic freedom, the various schools are also affected by interests! They accepted offerings from the Qi Kingdom, and they ate chestnut rice given by the King of Qi! Even if they do not agree with the Confucian academic view, they will not oppose the argument that "those who work hard govern people".

And King Qi has no interest in this kind of emphasis on technology. So he directly interrupted Dai Yan and wanted to continue talking about technology, and said: "That's all for today's debate, and I'll listen to Mencius and Ziyan another day." ”

After speaking, King Qi also took the lead in leaving.

The scholar palace priest Jiu Chun Yu also followed to see the king of Qi leave, and the representatives of the official school of Qi Peng Meng and Tian Piao also left.

Prince Tian Bijiang also came to Dai Yan's side and said to Dai Yan: "Ziyan, your understanding of astronomy and geography is really good, but your understanding of governing the country is too poor. Gongzi is a prince of the Song Kingdom, the Mo family and the peasant family, and it can be used as an auxiliary, where can it really be used to govern the country? ”

Subsequently, Tian Bijiang encouraged Dai Yan a few more words, and also left with King Qi.

Dai Yan and Mencius, who looked at each other, were left behind.

Seeing that the king of Qi and the sacrificial wine of the school palace who presided over the debate had left, and the prince of Qi had also left, it was not interesting for Dai Yan to go to debate with Mencius again. So Dai Yan bowed deeply to Mencius and prepared to leave the inquiry room.

Just as Dai Yan was about to leave, the two scholars walked up to Dai Yan and bowed to Dai Yan and said, "Childe, would you mind getting together with me?" ”

The people who came were Song Yu and Yin Wen of the Song Yin School.

At the same time, the Legalist Shen Dao also followed him to Mencius and left with him.

Dai Yan invited Song Yu and Yin Wen to his academy, ordered his entourage to offer good tea, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to the two gentlemen who stopped the boy?" ”

Song and Yin glanced at each other before Song Yu spoke: "I waited for the two of you to come to see Gongzi because I wanted to mediate the dispute between Gongzi and Mencius. As far as I know, the festival between Gongzi and Confucianism was provoked by Teng Geng, a disciple of Mencius. Now that Teng Geng has been driven back to Teng by Mencius, the dispute between Gongzi and Mencius should be put down and over. ”

Dai Yan was a little surprised by the behavior of these two people, and then asked, "Thank you two for telling me the reason for the dispute with Confucianism." But why did the two gentlemen come to mediate our dispute? ”

At this time, Yin Wenzi spoke: "Childe doesn't know, we have today's knowledge, and we have all been instructed by the disciples of the Mo family when we were young. Nowadays, the Mo family and the peasant family have learned from the son, and although we are not Mo scholars, we still have a relationship after all. Song Zi and I studied in the middle of the river, advocating "the fight to save the people". In our opinion, now that there is a dispute between the two schools, if there is no mediation, then there will inevitably be a great dispute in the future! And once the two of you factions are in power in other countries, I'm afraid it's not impossible for you to meet each other in the future! We're just planning ahead to avoid strife! ”

Hearing such a strange reason, Dai Yan was also silent. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered the view of the Song Yin school from his mind, the battle to save the people, this is actually a trivial matter, and the most important point of the doctrine they advocate is actually "forbidden to attack the sleeping soldiers, the battle to save the world"!

The people in this school admire the most Mozi's move to Chu alone to save the Song Kingdom! Later, when Qin and Chu were at war, the two also went to Chu and Qin respectively to lobby to prevent the war, but in vain.

The integrity of these two scholars is admirable, but what they do is not necessarily wise.

Dai Yan did not give a definite answer to their proposal, but only asked them a question: "In the opinion of the two gentlemen, why are there so many wars in the world?" ”

Song Yu replied without thinking: "Of course, this is because the kings of various countries have too many desires and are insatiable!" ”

Dai Yan was noncommittal about this, and then said: "In this way, in the opinion of the two gentlemen, as long as the kings of various countries can be made to have little lust and forbid the attack on the sleeping soldiers, the world can be peaceful?" ”

Yin Wen replied, "Exactly. ”

Dai Yan replied: "The two gentlemen have different opinions. In my opinion, if there are frequent wars today, on the surface, it seems that the desires of the kings of various countries are at work, but in fact the interests of the people of all countries are at work!

Imagine that if there were no wars among the countries of the world, then all countries would be free to develop at will. The land of each country will inevitably be fully developed, and the population of each country will continue to grow. When the population grows to the point that the country cannot bear it, and a country cannot feed enough people, then it will inevitably plunder the land of other countries, and war will inevitably break out!

This is the bottleneck of development caused by the shortage of resources, and the only thing that can solve the bottleneck of resources is war! And this, how can it be solved by the lack of lust and the forbidden sleeping soldiers? ”

When Song Yu heard Dai Yan's words, his eyes also darkened, and then he said: "What Gongzi said makes sense. However, there are things in the world that can be done and things that cannot be done.

In our view, the world is peaceful and the people can live, which is our wish. Even though we know that what we have to do is not to be done, yet we cannot bear to see the common people trapped by the sword. Therefore, I know that I can't do it!

Even if we can't really stop the war, if we can reduce the casualties between the nations and give the people of the world a breather, we will be satisfied. ”

Hearing Song Yu's words, Dai Yan had an illusion, as if the spirit of the true essence of the Mo family had been inherited by the two in front of him!

He then said to the two: "Since the two gentlemen said so, I will definitely not take the initiative to conflict with Confucianism in the future." But if Confucianism takes the initiative to provoke, then it's no wonder I'm waiting! ”

Hearing Dai Yan's words, the two were overjoyed. Then they took their leave and continued to Mencius's residence.

Soon after, Dai Yan received a return from Song Yu, saying that Confucianism was willing to abandon the old suspicions with the scientific school.

Dai Yan couldn't help but be a little impressed by the Song Yin School for getting such a result. However, he agreed to abandon his old suspicions with Confucianism, although he had admiration for the Song Yin school. However, the most important reason is that in fact, the Confucian scribes are actually the most, if there is a great enmity with Confucianism, and Confucianism comes to boycott paper, wouldn't it have a great impact on their own interests?

Dai Yan can't get along with anyone, he won't get along with his own money! Acting in favor is more in line with human nature and the way of nature than acting in righteousness!

Besides, Dai Yan never felt that defeating Confucianism could be achieved by verbal and debate!

The more important ability of the Mo family and the peasant family is actually in the physical object, they are strong in hands, but they are not comparable to the Confucianists who can only play tricks! If he could really take charge of the national affairs of the Song State in the future, and let the Mo family and the peasant family govern in an all-round way, how could he be afraid of Confucianism at that time?

The war with Confucianism is a long-term war, and it is not a big deal to suspend and stop the war for a while!
