Chapter 318
The tea on the table was a bit cold, Ying Chengxun raised his eyes and glanced at Sheriff Qiang who was standing still.

Strong, the scientist Xindao Junshang has made a decision, and they have concentrated their attention to show that they are ready to listen to the orders that will affect the people's livelihood and politics in South Korea.

Ying Chengxue raised his arm and pointed to a wooden seat in the hall, and the eyes of the two followed him.

"What are you doing standing? Are you not tired? Sit and wait."

He opened his mouth forcefully and lowered his head slightly.

"……only."

Go straight and sit on the chair.

"Your Majesty."

The scientist couldn't help but speak.

"At this moment, can you still think of such trivial things?"

Ying Chengxi tilted his head.

"If you think it's a trivial matter, you stand and wait?"

Without hesitation, the scientist got up and stood with his arms tied.

There is one thing about Mohism, which is different from all other schools of thought. Mohism is a completely idealized theory, which completely violates the human heart and human nature.

There is a saying in "Zhuangzi": He is diligent in his life, and thin in his death, and his way is great.It makes people worry, makes people sad, and their actions are difficult to do.I am afraid that it cannot be the way of a sage, and it will be against the heart of the world, and the world will be miserable.Although Mozi can do it alone, what is the world.It is far away from the world, and it is also far away from the king.

It is said that the theory of the Mohist school is too deviant to be accepted by the world.

All the theories of various schools of thought exist either for the ruling class, or for the aristocracy.Only the Mohists stand among the people.

Mozi, who has seen all the sufferings of the people, admired the virtuous, and in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty of the hereditary system of officials, he proposed that the capable should live.

It is also because of the hardships of the people that the stomachs are hard to be full, and the frugality is highly valued. Everyone should not enjoy other things except the most basic living guarantee.King, the food and drink of the people should be the same, there is no difference in life except for the division of labor.

The scientist is the richest guest of the Chang'an Emperor's Mansion, but he always wears a set of close-fitting bunts. Except for the pistol Ying Chengxun gave him for self-defense, he has no valuables on his body.

The help of Ying Chengxun was half of the reason why he was able to integrate the three inks and become a giant of the Mohist school.Leading by example and firmly implementing Mozi's philosophy is the other half of the reason.

Mohism has never been a theory that is strict with others and lenient with oneself.It is a theory that is strict with others and stricter with oneself.In such an organization, only selfless scientists can convince the public.

"I have always thought that my thinking is biased towards Mohism. After all, it is really cool to be able to shout out the word equality in the slave society 2000 years ago and put it into action. Heart, there are always a group of people sitting in high positions, it's really sad to see."

The scientist has a happy expression on his face. He is willing to be a pure craftsman because he feels he is good at tools but not good at words. In fact, he really wants to carry forward the theory of Mohism.

But this is not for the sake of fame and wealth, but if the Mohist theory is implemented, then the world will love each other and benefit each other, and everyone can live well, have enough food and wear good clothes.

Seeing the happy expression of the scientist, Ying Chengxi sighed secretly, and shouted loudly to the outside of the hall:
"My lord, eavesdropping on people's words is not the work of a gentleman."

"The old man who sent his disciples to the jaws of tigers and wolves because he was afraid of death can't be called a gentleman."

Wang Chan, who had four fleshy moles on his forehead and looked like a ghost, walked in from outside the hall, glanced at the scientist standing in the hall, and praised with a smile:
"Scientists are the best in the world."

The scientist didn't show Wang Chan a good face, but a cold face, with undisguised killing intent in his eyes, and said:
"You are the source of disaster for the world."

Guiguzi Wang Chan's nickname in Chang'an Junfu is the source of disaster.

Wang Chan didn't take it seriously, he found an empty chair and sat down, fingering the slender fingers of a man in his 30s or [-]s one by one.

"Miscellaneous Lu Buwei, Confucian Xun Qing, Legalist Han Fei, military strategist Li Mu, Mohist scientist. Your Majesty, are you going to..."

Ying Chengxi smiled and said:
"Why did the prince forget about himself? The Zongheng family used to be full of power and prestige. If they move, the princes will be afraid, and if they are safe, the world will rest."

Guiguzi didn't care.

"I have learned so much in my life that it is difficult to belong to which family. Although I am the originator of the vertical and horizontal lines, I can't describe my knowledge in the vertical and horizontal lines. This is not important. The important thing is which one the king chooses to govern the country. The whole world can Apart from this old man, the only one who has a deep knowledge of the various universities is the king."

The scientist still stood in the hall without taking his seat, and said contemptuously:
"Arrogant and conceited, I have never seen someone as arrogant as you... Haven't you heard that the emperor agrees with Mozi?"

[If your lord really agrees with Mozi's remarks, Zen will not be allowed to enter. ]
Wang Chan arched his hands to the scientist, looking more respectful than he was to Ying Chengxu.

"What the scientists say is that I am too old to hear."

The scientist snorted coldly, and looked at Ying Chengxu, with a glimmer of hope in his lonely eyes.

Ying Chengxun looked sideways slightly, avoiding the eyes of the scientist.

"We came to Handi from Xianyang. Brother Huang did not place any officials in Handi. This is to leave Handi to me to manage. Brother Huang wants to see how I can manage Handi by myself. If there is any What an accident, the Guanzhong army that is close at hand can also quell the turmoil in Handi within ten days.

As early as when Uncle Lu's report to the Korean officials was not approved, I knew that there would be such a day sooner or later.I have never taken this seriously. As for how Qin will develop in the future, I prepared 20 years ago.Reform the law, run schools, open up the wisdom of the people, set up imperial examinations, recruit sages..."

If Ying Chengxuan said these words outside, no matter how advanced his knowledge was, he would not be able to fully understand what he said.

But the strong ones present were the first group of hidden guards, Gui Guzi, and the scientists were the most powerful disciples in the house, and the three of them could understand what Ying Chengxun said.

The governor of Xinzheng looked respectful and didn't think too much about it. No matter what the king said, he would do it.

Guiguzi was smiling, and kept opening and closing his fingers hidden in his sleeves, no one knew what was going on in his mind.

The scientist forced a smile and said:
"Dare to ask your lord, may you give me one hundred thousand gold?"

He didn't want to listen any more, and he couldn't hear what he wanted to hear.

Being able to become a Mohist tycoon cannot be achieved by relying on the nepotism with Ying Chengxue, overwhelming force, and excellent hands-on ability. These factors can only be a good Qin Mo.

Mohism is a theory of ideals, and most of its disciples are idealists who can die for their ideals and only know how to contribute without asking for anything in return.All Mohists must take "promoting the benefits of the world and eliminating the harm of the world" as their own responsibility.

It is the only organization among the hundreds of philosophers that has its own armed forces, leaders, and discipline.As a leader in such an organization, scientists may have less critical thinking ability than practical ability.

But if you don't know that Ying Chengxiu won't use Mohism to govern the country now, then the Mohists will never recognize him as a giant.

"can."

Ying Chengxi nodded.

When the scientist thanked him and his footsteps tended to move backwards, he said:
"If you are not in a hurry, you can sit and listen to me first."

The scientist was silent, nodded and sat down.

"As the prince said, there are many people from various schools of thought gathered around me. I have a little understanding of various theories under the generous teaching of each school. But because of this, I have overlooked one thing. Our group of people, What we think is too noble, we are not down-to-earth. Including scientists, and you are the same."

To say anything else, scientists may just let it go.But Mohism is rooted in the poor and speaks for the people.Ying Chengxuan said that he is not down-to-earth, which involves a problem of philosophy.

Just sat down, the scientist who usually knows the word flexibility cannot be flexible this time.

"I don't have any long-term possessions. The gold bestowed by the emperor is used for research, and I have never kept it privately. The pursuit of my Mohist school is to plead for the people. I have never been away from the people in my half life. I often work with craftsmen and farmers to create Equipment, let’s plow the fields. I absolutely do not agree with what your Majesty said.”

Ying Chengxun nodded and affirmed what the scientist said, these are all true.In Chang'an Junfu, scientists are the poorest people.Self-expenditure is less than two shiliang per month, and less than 24 shiliang a year.

"This is the problem. Do you know what the people are after?"

Scientists don't think twice.

"equality."

"I don't think so."

Ying Chengxun shook his head, and the shaking scientist frowned.

"Do you think that if you don't drink alcohol and eat, wear and live like ordinary people, that's what the people want?"

The scientists wouldn't budge.

"Isn't it? Everyone in the world is like this, the king is like the people, and the world is equal, and it is a prosperous world."

Guiguzi, who no longer counted with his fingers, said with a smile:
"People in the world can tell right from wrong about the Mohists, but no one can tell right from wrong about the giants of the Mohist schools. The first giant, Mozi, is the best in the world, and there is no one better than him in the world. The last giant's belly, his son killed people, and King Qin Huiwen wanted to forgive him because of his old age. son.

"I refused to listen to King Qin Huiwen's persuasion, killed my own son, and abided by the law of the Mohist that kills the murderer and punishes the wounded. The one who can be the Mohist giant in the world is also a person of great kindness. It’s better to be cautious about what you say.”

The world has different praises and criticisms for the Mohist school, but there are few detractors for the Mohist giants.

In terms of morality, the Mohists do not respect etiquette and do not need to observe filial piety when parents die.It is more moral than Confucianism, which advocates the rule of law and the rule of law, and observes filial piety for three years after the death of parents.The Mohist giant is the most virtuous of the Mohist.

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and everything is a humble dog. This is a Taoist saying. But the person who practices this saying most is not Taoism, but Mohism."

Ying Chengxuan pointed at the scientist.

"The equality you pursue is that everyone in the world eats the same food and wears the same clothes. Kings and nobles do not have delicacies from mountains and seas, good wine and delicacies. Eating like the people can fill their stomachs. There is no taste or taste, but food to sustain life. King, the nobles don’t have silk and satin, Shu brocade and su shirts, and wear the same coarse linen clothes as the common people, just like the bunt woven of linen on your body.”

He pointed to himself again.

"And what I mean by equality is opportunity. I will give them a chance to succeed. Eating food that can only sustain life and wearing uncomfortable sackcloth. This is not what the people want, but the Mohist thought that the people wanted."

Anger lit up the scientist's face.

"Your Majesty's words today are too absurd. Mozi walks among the people, and his pursuits are all peasants. Craftsmen say it themselves, not subjective conjectures. Of all the schools of thought, only my Mohism wins the hearts of the people. Ask the people what they want!"

Ying Chengxi pressed down with both hands, using real actions to suppress the scientist's false anger.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."

The scientist has a gloomy face, the good gentleman who usually doesn't get angry, and the Mohist giant with a flexible bottom line, today he got really angry.

[It would be nice to let the scientists go down just now, why bother to get stiff.It doesn't matter to refute the Mohist theory in front of the Mohist giants, but to say that the Mohism is not people-oriented in front of the Mohist giants, this...]
Guiguzi, who had already reminded Ying Chengxiu, shook his head secretly, dissatisfied with Ying Chengxiu's performance.

"Mozi lived in troubled times. The people he asked were refugees who couldn't eat enough and couldn't wear clothes. They were hard-working people who might lose their lives at any time, who could eat grass roots and bark, and struggled at the boundary between life and death. People who are all problems, their needs are of course very simple.

"But it doesn't mean that these people are still willing to live such a life after eating and wearing clothes. After the Qin State ruled the world, the war in the Central Plains stopped. Living in this era is no longer a problem. There are almost no such people. , Mohism should change."

The scientist said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty's eyes only fall on Xianyang, not on the countryside and fields. In that place where no one can see, there are still many households with three children and only one clothed body. They only see water but not rice when they eat. Your Majesty One Day The money needed for gourmet food and delicacies can allow this class of households to eat corn for a month. The luxury clothes they wear are enough for their three sons to wear their own clothes for a year. With the king’s food and clothes, the world’s people can wrap their stomachs What's wrong with getting dressed?"

Ying Chengxun rubbed his cheeks twice.

"But why?"

The scientist's eyes immediately became angry. He originally thought that Ying Chengxun cared about people's livelihood, and that the things he invented and created would help the people a lot, so he was his follower. He didn't expect Ying Chengxun to say such a thing.

[Isn't this going to force the scientists to leave?Even if you really think so, you can't say it. ]
Qiang, who had been silent all this time, was anxious for his master, and hurriedly winked at Ying Chengxue.

Ying Chengxu continued talking on his own, as if he didn't see the scientist's face or the strong wink.

"I was born in the royal family, but the Ying family is not a royal family that doesn't have to do anything. The children of the royal family who are incapable cannot get rich clothes, fine food, food, wine and delicacies, and the Ying family does not support idlers. Everything I have, not to mention I work hard to get it, at least half of it?"

The scientist retorted angrily.

"No one does things for your majesty, can you do everything with your majesty alone?"

Ying Chengxi said seriously:
"But I didn't pay those who work for me what I deserve? Oh, you are an exception, but you are poor because you want to be poor, not because I exploit you."

The scientist opened his mouth. Knowing that he was not good at words, he didn't know how to refute Ying Chengxu.

"How many people in the world want to live a life of poverty under the premise of ability? Not many, this is human nature. I kept thinking about Marxism-Leninism on the way back. His depravity is also human nature. But he thought Is it wrong to pursue a better life? No, what is wrong is the method. It is okay to be greedy for money and lust, but why not use formal means? Everything has two sides. If you make good use of it, human nature can also promote progress. There is not much human nature That one, what do you think?"

Guiguzi smiled stiffly and did not speak.

Ying Chengxi turned to look at the angry and speechless scientist, and said sternly:
"Common people don't care whether the emperor's brother eats the same food as they eat, it's all rice. What they care about is whether they can have four dishes and one soup for a meal."
