This time, the topic of debate is whether the Mohists should change the law, and why it is such an issue must be related to the recent trend of calling for law change in Jicheng that I don't know where it has risen.

It's just that because it involves the court, the students still maintain a little restraint. You must know that it is not an easy sin to discuss the government in vain in any country in the world, and in serious cases, it may even be arrested by the government.

However, the transcendent status of the Jixue Palace makes its students have a heart that is more open to learning than any country in the world, they are not afraid of power, and even dare to speak out about justice, even if they will fall to the ground, they will not take half a step back.

And the beginning of all this is not only because of the centuries-old inheritance of the Ji School Palace, but also because on the day when the last emperor of the Ji Dynasty took the initiative to abdicate, the Mo family giants refused to be the emperor in order to continue to maintain the vitality of many schools, and still led the national government as a giant, which opened a precedent for a generation, and also inspired the students to study in their hearts.

Since then, the Jishang School Palace has long become the most magnificent palace in the hearts of scholars in the world, and there is even a saying that "not entering the Jishang is not a celebrity".

Qin Ke is also the first time to see such a magnificent scene, in comparison, although Jing Wu Tai School has the style of learning, but the purpose is still to cultivate talents for the imperial court, a little more restrained, a little less skilled.

It seems that what Gao Yishui said about the cultivators in the world, and the words that Ji Xuegong monopolized half of them, are not necessarily big words.

"In my opinion, it is imperative to change the law. Since the previous dynasty, the world has been disputed, although my Mo family now has the largest land in the world, but now the government decree is not compatible, the center of the court and the local appearance are separated, the decree is half new and half old, and it has long been a sign of decline. ”

At this moment, in the center of the hall, a student wearing an old cotton coat who looked a little shabby was standing in the center and explaining, his voice was like a tide: "If we don't plan to change the law earlier, how can we complete the great cause of the old giant in the future, help the world, and restore peace to the world?"

"Alarmist. "Some people say yes, and naturally some people say no, and the debate in the school palace is for everyone, not to mention the students sitting in front of the table in the center.

As soon as the words fell, a student wearing a high crown had already stood up, but even if he did not agree with the student's words, he still stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Afterwards, he cleared his throat and said: "What does the great cause of the giant have to do with the change of the law? Could it be that without the change of the law, the great cause of the old giant's unification cannot be accomplished? You must know that although the change of the law is a sharp sword, it is easy to hurt others and oneself. Back then, when the Mo family was not as big as it is today, the neighboring countries used to try to change the law, and in the end?"

The high-crowned student said coldly: "Not only did it cause turmoil in the court, the military was chaotic, and even the lord of the Bin Kingdom died in a mutiny, which was wiped out by my Mo family in one fell swoop." If the change really works, how can we explain the loss of the country?"

That's not true. At this time, another person stood up and said: "Brother Taizhi is not biased to say that the law reform of the country has failed, but not to mention the success of the law reform in other countries? Today, the Tang State in the west, from the beginning of the previous dynasty to the present, has gone through three generations of law changes before it has the solid national strength it has today, and in the Canghai Sea in the north, the laws and regulations implemented by Cao Meng have long been very different from those of the previous dynasty. Just talking about his Tuntian strategy, I don't know how many people have rich food and clothing, coupled with strict military law, this has raised those hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves. ”

This student walked all the way to the high-crowned student and sneered: "Even if it is Jingwu in the south, it has been established for the shortest time, but under the control of that Zhuge Wanling, it is also a vibrant scene to cut the fiefdom and establish a new law. In the past ten years, there has been a flood in the south and a drought in the north, and the government has not been able to come up with enough food to provide relief, and it is a bit ridiculous that it has been spread out. ”

This is why the disciples of the Ji School Palace dare to say such things, and if they change to other countries, they are afraid that they will be arrested by the government a long time ago.

It's just that the high-crowned disciple still didn't think so, and snorted: "The two things you said are still not enough to talk about. You must know that the Mo family has at least 450,000 troops, and counting the scattered troops, there are 600,000, which country in the world can have such a huge army? And those years were when the war was fierce, the war required food and grass, and the families of the soldiers who died in the war also needed to be compensated, and there was only one treasury, where could it cover everything? Not to mention that later the giant did not appoint Zhongfuzi to provide disaster relief and lead the people back to the countryside?

"Return to the countryside?" It sounds like that, but how did I hear that in those two famines, at least tens of thousands of people starved to death and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.

"How do you say that......?

Qin Kezheng listened attentively, but suddenly felt that the position of his sleeve was being pulled hard, and then he turned his head and saw Cai Yan giving him a look: "Don't stand here stupidly, let's find a place to sit first, this is just the beginning, but it's just a few leading battles, and there are still wonderful things to see behind." ”

Qin Ke was stunned, he didn't expect that in his opinion, it was already a very fierce debate, and it was just the beginning, but they came late, and the place where they should sit was already full, except for the place where they were standing, where else could they sit?

Qin Ke looked at Cai Yan who had been giving him a look, and finally raised his head and looked at the seat upstairs.

The debate hall is divided into three floors, which is not small, and today's debate is probably not just those students who are paying attention, the heavy straw mats on the upper floor cover the faces of those nobles, and their bodies are hidden in a shadow, listening attentively.

But Qin Ke saw a somewhat familiar silhouette in the gap between them.

Qin Ke went straight up to the second floor, and finally determined that the silhouette was really an acquaintance, but it was not a nobleman, but an inkman dressed in inky black.

That's right, Jicheng is where the Moji Hall is located, after Jinzhou is goodbye, it is normal for Bai Qi to appear here, but compared to Jinzhou, Bai Qi at this moment seems a little idle, the long sword is placed on the table, and he is holding a teacup in one hand and looking at the debate, as if he is listening.

"Brother Bai!" Qin Ke laughed, and the call woke up Bai Qi, who was in a trance, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and exchanged pleasantries.

"I thought you were still in Jinzhou, but I didn't expect that you would come to Jicheng in a blink of an eye. Bai Qi eagerly poured tea for a few people, and then beckoned them to sit down on the couch, "When did you come? This winter is colder than usual, and the road is not easy to walk, right?"

"Not really. Qin Ke smiled and knelt down on the couch, although this kind of couch didn't make him very comfortable, but it was not annoying, "We came by boat, from the dry river all the way to Jicheng, the speed was quite fast, and it didn't delay much." ”

Bai Qi patted his head, then remembered that there was such a thing, and said self-deprecatingly: "Look at my brain, I have forgotten this stubble, now thanks to the blessing of Xiang Chu, the dry river has been refilled with water, and it will be much more convenient to travel from Jinzhou to Jicheng in the future." ”

It's just that this is also a kind of irony for the Mo family.

In the early years, some people in the Mo family also proposed to build canals to divert water and reopen the dry river waterway, so that the time from Jicheng to Xingzhou would be greatly shortened, and it would be much easier to transport grain and grass or use troops to assist in defense.

However, there are many courtiers who think that the reason why this dry river dried up is because the faint king of the previous dynasty hurt the heavens and reason, and the heavens sent down heavenly punishments, which shook the mountains and intercepted the flow of the dry river.

As a result, now the dry river is tossed in the hands of Xiang Chu, the invader, and the original intention was to take advantage of this road to go straight down and attack Jicheng, but this has become an important passage for the Mo family.
