Without turning their heads, Meng Qi and the others naturally appeared in their senses.

He is about forty, his face is yellow and beardless, he is dressed as a doorman, with a long sword tied around his waist, and his breath is connected to heaven and earth, just like a famous exterior scene.

"Brother Tai, what's the matter?" Meng Qi asked puzzled.

The yellow-faced bearded man smiled and said: "In Xia Zhao Bai, Bole Jun's Mansion is a guest." ”

He explained his identity clearly in two simple sentences, and then arched his hand: "Suitable for the right person to be on duty outside the hall, I heard Mr. Gao's argument, I empathize, and I came to visit." ”

"Brother Zhao is from Hanwei?" Zhao Heng next to Meng Qi interjected and asked.

Qi Zhengyan is not a person who is good at words, Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu don't like to debate, so they have discussed it before, and Meng Qi and Zhao Heng will take the lead when they encounter things that need to be spoken.

Zhao Bai nodded and sighed: "In the lower Qin, the commoners have had an adventure, and with today's cultivation, it is a pity that the Qin State has a strict hierarchy, the nobles are rotten, and there is no hope for advancement. ”

The monarch chooses the minister, and the minister chooses the king, which is worthy of the era of the collapse of etiquette and happiness...... Meng Qi bowed slightly, but this was good for the preaching of himself and others, at least the theory of "Shangxian" had already sprouted in the hearts of many knowledgeable princes and nobles.

After a few words of greeting, Zhao Bai said enthusiastically: "There are still many friends in the next place, and the experience is similar, and I also ask Mr. to come to the cold house and give advice." ”

He expresses a thirst for insight and opinion.

This was beyond Meng Qi's expectations, and when he was in the Bole Monarch's Mansion, he only spoke a few empty words, explaining the importance of today's accumulation of disadvantages and meritocracy. Before he had time to peddle the core doctrine, how could he be treated as a sage?

Seeing that they were silent and hesitant, Zhao Bai said eagerly: "The world has accumulated evils for a long time, the people are not allowed to live, and the soldiers are not allowed to live. And I heard that Mr. still had unfinished intentions, so he was cheeky to ask for advice. ”

For the class he represents, this is indeed a dazed and confused era, and it is inevitable to sigh, although Bo Lejun recruits customers regardless of identity and is famous, but he is not a monarch after all, and there may be changes at any time, which makes Zhao Bai always feel unsteady. I have no confidence in the future, and I am very pessimistic about the situation in the world.

They have repeatedly tried to change this situation, but because of their knowledge, they can only sell the nobility with martial arts. After failing again and again, frustrated and depressed, a little spark can make them firmly grasp, so even if Meng Qi only talks a few empty words about Shangxian, thrift and festive funeral. He seemed to be quite inspired, and hurried to ask for advice.

Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei and others made eye contact, and they could vaguely understand the situation and current mentality of Zhao Bai and others. So I couldn't reach my head, and I intended to try it and understand more about the reality, just like I had just lobbied Bo Lejun, so as to accumulate experience and prepare for the formal lobbying of the princes of small countries in the future.

From the very beginning, the three-month deadline allowed them to target smaller, more remote countries that could not afford to attack the outside world!

Anyway, we have a secret treasure, and we are afraid that you will not succeed if you have a trap? Meng Qi said secretly and said to Zhao Bai: "Brother Zhao, please." ”

With Zhao Bai's current strength, even if he didn't use the secret treasure, Meng Qi believed that he and Jiang Zhiwei could beat him, and his companions couldn't all be on the outside, otherwise they would already be a decisive force under Bo Lejun's sect.

Zhao Bai's face was delighted, and he was busy leading the way, got off the rammed earth platform, turned a few alleys, and turned into a big house.

He asked Meng Qi and the others to wait outside the hall for a while, and went in to recruit his companions, after a while, he changed into a wide robe, walked out of the hall, and arched his hand: "A few gentlemen, please, everyone is waiting for you." ”

Meng Qi's face remained unchanged, and he walked in slowly, the hall was covered with straw mats, and there were twenty or thirty people kneeling on both sides, except for Zhao Bai, there were two people with an exterior scene, one in a black robe was cold, a long sword in his knees, a short beard under his chin, his face was sad, and his clothes were old.

Seeing Meng Qi and the others coming in, they bowed one after another, with a respectful attitude.

After introducing Meng Qi and the others to their seats, Zhao Bai repeated the previous words to arouse the topic, and finally said: "What Mr. said about Shangxian, we all agree, but there are very few monarchs or nobles in various countries who can ignore their status and reuse talents.

Previously, Meng Qi was interrupted by Bo Lejun as soon as he talked about the festival and funeral, so Zhao Bai was eager to hear the following.

Meng Qi groaned and said: "A festival is used for funerals, the nobles build a large number of buildings, build a palace, the cost is huge enough to teach thousands of people, and in order to seek the way to survive after death, the tomb is built as if in front of him, luxurious and wasteful, and the treasures are hidden, which is even more than the palace platform, but throughout the ages, how many people can come back from the dead and become immortals and gods? If you can control these two aspects, why worry about having no money to teach people?"

He considered that there were no nobles here, so he did not change the funeral for the time being.

At this time, the man with a short beard under his chin arched his hand and said: "Mr. Su, ghosts and gods are not nonsense, the princes and nobles of various countries are either descendants of immortals and seedlings, or descendants of gods, and they can reach the sky after death, so that their funeral is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

This is the difference between the world of gods and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period in his previous life...... Meng Qi's mind turned, and he slowly spoke: "Throughout the ages, who can become an immortal and become a god? Or can be taught Dafa, diligent cultivation, transcend the ordinary, or in the benefit of the world, when the harm of the world is removed, he has made great contributions, and has been praised by immortals, saints, ghosts and gods. ”

"In particular, it can be seen that if you want to ascend to heaven after death, become a god and become an immortal, and survive in the world forever, what you cultivate is not an ancient tomb, but a merit, which is to follow the will of heaven!"

"The princes and nobles value the tombs, do not care for the people, and do not have the virtue of living in heaven, so they want to live forever after death, no less than wanting to go south, but the car goes north. ”

Similar arguments had never appeared before, and Zhao Bai and the others looked at each other when they heard it, both shocked and thought-provoking. It seems that this is the right way, the principle of heaven and earth!

Otherwise, if you are not diligent in cultivating yourself, and you are a wrongdoer, as long as you can build a luxurious ancient tomb, you can become a god and live forever after death?

Just thinking about it doesn't fit the ancient doctrine of good and evil!

"The benefits of the world are the benefits of the world, and the harm of the world is eliminated...... Tomorrow's Chronicles, Worship Ghosts and Gods......" The man with a short beard under his jaw muttered to himself, and the rest of the people all showed thoughtful expressions.

Meng Qi let out a sigh and saw Jiang Zhiwei's thumbs up to him and Ruan Yushu and the others nodding to commend him for his on-the-spot performance.

So far. "His" Mohist doctrine is more in line with the world of ghosts and gods, but what Meng Qi doesn't know is that his origin is getting closer and closer to the views of the medieval sage, rather than a simple and concise explanation.

Without waiting for them to ask again, Meng Qi continued: "Second, the cost of ordinary people is actually not huge. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Bai looked at Meng Qi in surprise.

"If the teaching of the exercises can be opened, there is no need for natural materials and treasures under the exterior scene, as long as the population is sufficient, the grain is abundant, and there is no shortage of herbs to be planted. That is to say, the kingdom and the fiefdom are prosperous, and it will not cost too much to select and teach ordinary people...... "Meng Qi completely regarded this as a drill, "and those who can pass the initial assessment and select the Fa will not be able to succeed only one person in ten thousand." ”

"Selection...... Open exercises to teach ......" this completely unheard word made Zhao Bai and others refreshing. I felt that a new door had opened in front of me.

In the era when low-level talents are mainly recommended and inspected, the assessment and selection are simply contrary to common sense! The black-robed swordsman thought silently, in the south, in the country of Wu. Something similar seems to be happening......

At this moment, the man with a short beard under his chin said: "The rivalry between princes is the source of turmoil and darkness in the world, and what they fight for is nothing more than hegemony, fiefdom and population. According to the gentleman, is not the strife even greater?"

He is a little worried about the country and the people.

Here comes the main topic...... Meng Qi kept his back on his back: "Rest the sword soldiers, persuade the peasants, do not raise an unrighteous war, so that the people will not die unexpectedly, why worry about the country is not prosperous, why do you need to plunder other countries?"

His tone became "painful": "In today's world, the conflict between the princes of Mingli is the source of chaos, in fact, they only know self-love, do not know both love, have no mercy and mercy, use their own interests to harm the interests of others, countries do not love each other, then disputes continue, bullying the weak, destroying cities and destroying villages, ambushing corpses for thousands of miles, white bones and wilderness, people do not love each other, then they bully the noble and the cheap, use treachery to fool, expropriate tyranny, and the people cannot survive!"

Seeing that the people kneeling in the hall more or less showed compassion and heaviness towards these words, and seemed to feel something, Meng Qi said in his heart: "Have you ever had a similar experience?"

Although empty talk can give people a sense of being knowledgeable and thought-provoking, it cannot only rely on it to penetrate people's hearts!

Meng Qi asked suddenly, and the scene was a little calm and embarrassed for a while, either reminiscing about what he had just said, or reluctant to speak.

Fortunately, the person with a short beard under the chin was quite interested in the saying of "and love", and said in a deep voice: "In Xia Baisong, born in the Tang State, he was originally just a farmer in the field, and his family had parents and brothers and sisters, and that year, in order to seize the nearby land, the Chu State recruited a lot of exterior scenes to attack the Tang State, and the aftermath of the battle spread, causing the house to collapse and the flames to burn......"

Speaking of this, his expression gradually became a little sad: "Although our family is not rich, but we can barely survive, there is often laughter, but in our sleep, the fire spread, igniting the hut, my parents were the first to wake up, picked us up, tried to rush out, but the fire was very big, it was difficult to succeed, later, later, my father stripped me and wrapped me, regardless of himself, forcibly rushed into the fire, threw me into the well, and waited until dawn, I climbed out with difficulty, only to see four charred corpses, my father held my brother and sister, only ten steps from the well......"

The atmosphere in the hall became sad, and everyone seemed to have touched something, remembering their own tragic past.

The black-robed swordsman said: "I am the king of Wu, and I am valued by a nobleman, and I have to teach the exercises and become a subordinate, but his son is tyrannical and insults my wife and children, I am not angry for a while, and I killed him, and after that, my parents, wife and children died, and I was very difficult to get rid of, and I went away......

He said it simply, trying his best to be plain, but he couldn't hide his depression and hatred.

As they recounted, the others slowly let go of their hearts, and talked about their own experiences one by one, and they couldn't help crying in the desolation, don't look at them now they all have good strength and a certain status, and they basically had their own sadness and difficulties at the beginning.

In this era of hierarchy, civilians often have to pay a great price if they want to get ahead.

Hearing their choked voices, and hearing their hatred of the nobles for the war caused by their own interests, Meng Qi couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhiwei and the others, and they couldn't hide their surprise on their faces.

The results of this assertion were so good that they had not expected!

Meng Qi originally thought that a few of them must have had a painful experience, and they could strengthen their empathy in the form of telling each other's suffering, and improve their recognition of mutual love and mutual benefit and non-aggression, but he didn't expect that the masters who grew up from commoners would have complaints in seven or eight out of ten, and only a few were ambitious and wanted to take advantage of such troubled times to achieve a career, but their jealousy and hatred for the nobles and princes would not be less!

No wonder the Mo family can become a prominent scholar, and the people below the nobility are desirable...... Meng Qi sighed secretly.

By the time they finished telling their sufferings, the eyes of Meng Qi and the others were completely different, and the person who could tell the problem and propose a solution seemed to be the hope of this world, allowing himself and others to see a path in a daze!

Don't look at these concepts, these ideas are very simple, but that's because there are predecessors who have explored and summarized, and latecomers feel that it's just so, just think about it, but in the hearts of those who hear it for the first time and empathize with it, this is the meaning of the words!

When Meng Qi was about to talk in depth about "love and mutual benefit" and "non-attack", the white pine with a short beard under his chin turned over and bowed down, and said loudly:

"Mr. is talented, has insight into the world, knows the disadvantages of the world, and is willing to follow Mr. to end this chaotic world!"

"I am not talented, I am willing to follow Mr.!" Most of the people in the hall followed and bowed.

"The world is thirsty for a long time!" Zhao Bai finally spoke.

It's too easy, isn't it...... Meng Qi was a little stunned, but he could understand the mentality that Zhao Bai, Wang Qi and others had been suffering for a long time, and wanted to get rid of it and couldn't find a way.

"I think we should accept them, when lobbying the princes of small countries, the stronger we are, the greater the help we bring, and the easier it is to succeed, as long as they can survive for three months, the task will be completed!" Zhao Heng said.

Meng Qi nodded, this is also what he thinks in his heart!

But do you really want to preach secretly first and develop into a tightly organized community?

But this will be feared by others and bring unexpected dangers......
