In the temple of the Song Kingdom, the fierce debate has been going on for several days, and the two sides continue to put forward their own opinions around the proposition of the Mo people and the proposition of strengthening the country and enriching the people, and the giant relies on the down-to-earth Mo family, which can always make the other party speechless.

But today's opponents have seized on the flaw in the Mohist theory of ghosts and gods, saying that people are sick as the punishment of ghosts and gods, and at the same time Mohists put ghosts and gods in a very important position, which can be said to be as important as Confucian self-denial. As long as this is attacked, the Mohist proposition will collapse.

Even Song Jun frowned, doubting whether the ghosts and gods' rewards for good and punishment of evil were accurate. If accurate, how could a sage like Juzi get sick? If it is not accurate, then the loopholes in the Mohist claim are too big.

In the face of such questioning, the giant said, "Since you don't believe in ghosts and gods, why do you sacrifice?" ”

"The purpose of the sacrifice is to remind us who are alive to learn from the past and remember the teachings of our ancestors, rather than simply asking for the blessings of our ancestors. The purpose of sacrifice is to 'give the law to the people', 'to work diligently with death', 'to stabilize the country with labor', to be able to resist great disasters, and to be able to defend against great disasters, not simply to pay tribute to gods and ghosts. This is a white-haired Confucian who said that sacrifice is not superstition, but has a practical effect, and through sacrifice is to let future generations inherit the ideas and ideas of their predecessors, rather than strange forces.

After listening to this, the giant agreed with the Confucian sacrifice reason, but unfortunately the Confucian sacrifice was too extravagant and wasteful. Juzi said: "It is indeed possible to use these five methods to sacrifice in a positive way, but many monarchs try to ask the ghosts and gods to bless themselves with peace through fat and strong sacrifices, and pray that they can smoothly annex other countries, which is also an indisputable fact, and there are such things because they do not know that the masters of the ghosts and gods are actually the people. ”

"Huh?" Everyone else was stunned, what is this? How did the masters of the ghosts and gods become the people? The ghosts and gods are gone, who can be their master?

Regardless of the other party's surprise, the giant said eloquently: "The sovereign of the Holy Ming will always do the people's affairs well first, and then carry out sacrifices. The sacrifice is not to bribe the ghosts and gods, but to report the results of one's own governance. The ancestors sacrificed and used fat cattle to strengthen sheep to tell the gods and ghosts that the people were prosperous. The ancestors sacrificed and used the five grains to tell the gods and ghosts that the people were full of warehouses. To offer good wine is to tell the ghosts and gods that everyone is good and not to do anything that violates their conscience. The sacrifice of ancestors is ultimately to let the ghosts and gods know that they are not sorry for the people, and the people will sacrifice whatever they have. And now in some countries, even though the people can't eat enough, they choose huge and fat sacrifices, and the sacrifice is just to ask the gods and ghosts to bless themselves, but they don't know that the owners of the gods and ghosts are actually the people. "Now you know why I'm sick, right? Because I didn't take care of the people, the demons and gods came to punish me. As soon as the giant said this, he immediately explained that he was not sick because he had done something wrong, but because he had not done well enough.

Because the masters of ghosts and gods are the people, the purpose of the sacrifice is to summarize the living standards of the people, and the abundance of sacrifices means the prosperity of the people. But now the abundance of sacrifices is only the personal wealth of the monarch and the doctor, not the wealth of the people, so the gods and ghosts are very angry.

“？？” Is that okay? Juzi spared a lot of circles, but actually criticized the false sacrifices of 'bribing ghosts and gods' that are now common, and on the surface he is sincere to the ghosts and gods, but in fact he just hopes that the ghosts and gods will bless him.

Juzi said that the masters of ghosts and gods are the people, and ghosts and gods will reward good and punish evil according to the actual situation of the people, which established the legitimacy of gods and ghosts in the Mo family. It also explains the reason why good people get sick, and that their illness is not a punishment, but a reminder from the gods and ghosts that it is not time for good people to relax.

"Love has not yet succeeded, and friends still need to work hard." Looking at the speechless crowd, Juzi continued: "Being sick is a punishment for bad people, and a reminder for good people to remind themselves that they are not doing well enough. If you covet comfort before you have completed love, you will definitely get sick. ”

"The masters of the ghosts and gods are the people?!" Song Jun was stunned, in fact, he was also a person who belonged to bribery sacrifices, and the people of the Song Kingdom were not very rich, but in order to let the gods and ghosts bless themselves, Song Jun would still choose fat and strong sacrifices, would use fine wine, and would use food, but he never thought that the ghosts and gods would know that these sacrifices were withheld from the hands of the people.

The ancestor sacrifice is not to ask for the blessing of the gods and ghosts, but to report the work, to tell the gods and ghosts that they have completed their mission and governed the country well, so they are justified and bold when they sacrifice, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Now I know why I still feel weak after the sacrifice." Song Jun can understand why he is so weak and uneasy every time he sacrifices. Because he just wanted to bribe, and the reason for the bribe was that he didn't do his job well at all, so even if the sacrifices were all pure and fat animals, he still didn't feel a sense of security being protected, because he didn't realize that 'the people, the Lord of God'.

Song Jun stood up and bowed to the giant, not knowing if he really wanted to change, or because he finally decided to bring in the Mo family to fight against the doctor. Whatever the reason, this bow is definitely sincere, and it is an admittance to the Mohist proposition.

It's over, and the others know that the Mo family's entry into the temple of the Song Kingdom is unstoppable. The Mo family has even blocked the biggest flaw, although both good and bad people will get sick, but the meaning of being sick is different, bad people are sick is punishment, and good people are sick is a reminder. Good people should be highly demanded by ghosts and gods in order to have high achievements, so this explanation is seamless.

Song Jun introduced the Mo family and ruled the country with the giants.

The influence of the Moshi immediately surpassed that of Confucianism and Taoism, and a series of changes were carried out in the Song Kingdom. First of all, all the people in the Song State were registered, whether they were Chinese people or savages, and the land of the Song State had been surveyed before, so it was impossible for the doctor to evade taxes and evade taxes, and then it was to standardize the taxes and budgets of the Song Kingdom.

With such a scientific system of revenue and expenditure, the tax revenue of the Song State was clear on the books. Even Song Jun didn't want to steal money from it, not letting him pay taxes was already the grace of the giant.

With the weapon of mathematics in hand, Song Guo was all arranged clearly from bottom to top, and every amount of money spent and earned was recorded, and the government of Song State suddenly became clear.

Then the Mozhi implemented new technologies in the Song Kingdom, improved crops, increased harvests, and continuously improved the strength of the Song Kingdom.

At the same time, the famous Lu Ban was already serving in the Chu State, and his job was to build a war machine for the Chu State. I heard that there was a giant in the Song Kingdom, Mo Zhai, who was also proficient in technology, and also helped small countries fight against big countries, so he wanted to compare himself with the giants.

Lu Ban, also known as the Gong Yi Ban, was originally a native of the Lu State, the Gong Yi is the clan, surnamed Ji, is a very powerful craftsman, and has created all kinds of equipment for the Chu State. Originally, he thought that there was no craftsman in the world who could compare with him, but he didn't expect to kill a giant halfway, which suddenly ignited Lu Ban's fighting spirit, and he wanted to find Mo Zhai to make a move to see who was the first craftsman today.

Wen Wu is the first and Wu is the second, and the hatred between peers is Hongguoguo, and Lu Ban, as a craftsman, has a heart that will always strive for the first.
