Chapter 211: The Thing That Changed the World
At noon, the sun was shining overhead.
The whole Xianyang City is hot.
The people on the streets of Xianyang looked a little less numb and more smiling.
The end of the year is approaching.
During the Qin Dynasty, the calendar used was the 颛顼 calendar, and the specific rules of this calendar are ignored here.
Viewers only need to know that the calendar begins with October, and the first day of October is the new year every year.
At this time, the New Year season is in autumn, and there is no winter New Year's slaughter in the future, and the cold - many old people and poor people will be frozen to death by the wind and snow.
In the autumn when the average temperature is in the more than 10 degrees throughout the day and may reach more than 20 degrees at noon, no one will be killed by the weather, and there is no saying that the year is difficult.
During this time period, everyone is happy and waiting for the New Year.
The poor prayed that the Qin State would start a war next year and join the army to kill the enemy and change their fate.
The wealthy pray that the situation will remain the same, and that every year will be smooth and prosperous.
The Shangjun War was far, far away from the people of Xianyang, and the gambling fight in Korea had nothing to do with the people of Xianyang.
Compared with these major events, the people of Xianyang are more interested in things that can be seen.
For example, on that day, the crown prince Yingfu Su led a large group of soldiers and horses to Shangjun, the first emperor was still so majestic, and the prince was also very heroic.
Although these are not actually relevant to them, this is the topic of conversation, which is what they talk about at home and get together with friends.
Xianyang has lived for ten years.
Nothing new.
Until now.
In the words that the people of Xianyang talk about among their peers, there will also be the shame of staying, and the words "Ruzi" and "Wang Di".
Occasionally, I would talk about heavy rain and heavy rain when I was a child, and the water on the road would not cross the threshold.
Now, no matter how heavy the rain is, it all seeps into the ground, and there is no overflow.
This kind of miracle can only exist in Xianyang City, which shows that Daqin is loved by heaven and blessed by ghosts and gods.
A man dressed as a ranger was outside Xianyang City, marching towards the gate of Xianyang City, and heard the words of pedestrians outside the city.
His face under his hat was full of mockery, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of sneer.
"There are no ghosts or gods in the world."
Walking with the rangers, the heroic posture is cool, and the beautiful and extraordinary woman stops and stops.
He looked sideways at the ranger, his eyes were cold, and he said, "You are not the Mo family giant, where is the real Mo family giant?"
The ranger then stopped and said with a smile: "The heir of the Yue Nu Sword is also a master of distinguishing the true from the fake?"
As he spoke, the ranger took out an object from his bosom and handed it to Yue Nu.
"This thing should be enough to prove my identity."
Yue Nu looked down, and her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinpoint.
It was the size of a palm, with a handle to hold, and a hollow iron pipe on it.
It's the gun held by Ying Chengcheng!
Yue Nu's mind was racing for a moment, and she wanted to snatch the gun.
At such close range, she was absolutely sure that she would be able to do it.
With this artifact, whoever she wants to kill will be the easiest thing to do, including Ying Cheng.
The ranger didn't seem to see Yue Nu's impatience, so he naturally had to take the gun back into his arms.
Yue Nu's body trembled, but in the end she didn't make any movement and gave up.
did not grab a gun, and had basic loyalty to the king. But judging from its performance, it cannot be trusted. I have to be careful with her, so that I don't get killed and don't know it.
The self-identified Mo family giant secretly thought, continued to march towards the Xianyang City Gate, and the Yue Nu quickly followed.
"Ming ghosts are one of the main ideas of the Mo family, since you are a giant of the Mo family, why don't you believe in ghosts and gods?"
"Hundreds of years ago, whether Mozi and his old man believed in ghosts and gods or not were two things. If you don't see Mozi himself, who can know that the Ming ghost said that it was Mozi's means to do good and eliminate evil in the world. ”
He is still convinced that there are really ghosts and gods in the world. In fact, the Yue Nu sword is the same, do you think this sword is really a gift from God? I don't believe it, it's supposed to be the creation of amazing people. ”
Ming ghost is one of the ideas put forward by Mozi, the founder of Mojia, and it is also one of the titles of the book "Mozi".
Mozi thought.
The cause of chaos in the world is because he doubts the difference between the existence and non-existence of ghosts and gods, and does not know that ghosts and gods can reward the virtuous and punish violence.
Therefore, if you want to prosper the world and eliminate the harm of the world, you must distinguish whether there are ghosts and gods.
That is, the reason why there is chaos in the world is that people wonder if there are ghosts and gods, and wonder whether ghosts and gods can reward good and punish evil.
Therefore, if you want to carry forward the good side of the world and get rid of the bad side, you must believe that ghosts and gods exist.
In "Mozi Ming Ghost".
Mozi devotes an entire article to enumerating ancient rumors about the importance that ancient holy kings attached to sacrifices.
and the relevant historical examples of ghosts and gods in ancient books, so as to prove the existence and efficacy of ghosts and gods.
The protégé of the Mohist family questioned the existence of ghosts and gods, which was equivalent to questioning the Mohist doctrine and questioning Mozi.
This behavior of the Mohist giant is equivalent to a Confucian protégé saying that the Analects was written incorrectly, and questioning what Confucius said was wrong.
"You are so deviant, how do you integrate the three inks into one, so that they can respect you as Mozi."
"It's okay to admit to them that there are ghosts and gods."
"The Mo family, which is the most popular among the people, has now become like this. Confucianism and ink are of the same origin, and the two major scholars were destroyed by the hands of Ying Cheng, and it is sad and lamentable. ”
The Mo family giant stopped and squatted.
Under the inexplicable gaze of Yue Nu, she picked up a handful of dirt from the ground with both hands.
"What is the highest yield crop in one place?"
"Five stones."
Yue Nu replied quickly, she was very familiar with the land of Baiyue.
"What about the Qin State?"
“…… Twenty. ”
Yue Nu replied a little slowly, not that she didn't know the answer, but that she roughly knew what the deviant Mo family giant next to her was going to say.
And she can't seem to argue with it.
"Is this the act of God who gave Yue Nu the sword, or is it the act of the ghosts and gods who reward good and punish evil."
The Mo family giant got up and let go, and the dust fell, and some flew away.
Under the veil of the hat, the face that was not outstanding exuded a golden brilliance, and the piercing Yue Nu did not dare to look directly.
The Mo family giant said proudly: "No, this is what Chang'an Jun did, it was done by my Mo family's protégé, and it was also done by the farmer's protégé." The soil of Qin was raised by us with manure, weeds, straw, and silt. ”
"The core of my Mohist family advocates 'mutual love and mutual benefit', and I want everyone in the world to love each other and develop in a good direction. Whether it is the 'Ming Ghost' who believes in ghosts and gods, or the 'Heavenly Will' that preaches the will of the heavens, they are all for the benefit of the people and the peace of the people. ”
"Chang'anjun can make the land grow more food, let the people cultivate the land more labor-saving, let the people eat more, and let the Qin State have fewer deaths. Mozi's resurrection can only applaud and rejoice in the realization of his ideals. Where is the change of the Mo family sad? Where is the sigh? ”
The Mo family giant, codenamed a scientist in Chang'an Junfu, was originally born in Qin Mo and most admired hands-on creative ability.
Deying Cheng Cheng pointed out and opened up his thinking, and created one thing after another that changed the world.
