Age of mythical princes

Chapter 417

"In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people suffer." Meng Ke said directly after a long silence.

As for the two major camps, Meng Ke did not comment much.

Xun Kuang shook his head: "Compared to the past, it has made great progress."

"You should look more at your feet and stop thinking about the stars in the sky. Ideals are very important, but without reality, no ideals can be realized."

"The two major camps are stronger than the chaos in the world in the past. After one of them wins in the future, the world will not be far away from unification."

After a while, a third person came to the courtyard.

This person is Zhuang Zhou. Although Zhuang Zhou usually doesn't care about this or that, this time Li Sheng specially told him, so he came over early.

Soon, Guiguzi, Liezi, Guan Yinzi and others also arrived one after another.

Obviously, among Li Sheng's disciples and Li Sheng's junior disciples, there are still many Da Zhenren.It seems to be no inferior to Confucianism.

It's the great master of the Mo family, which is a bit missing.

Moreover, there is no one who is not a swordsmith (Ou Zhizi), or a real person from the physical sainthood sect derived from practicing 72 heavenly skills, or a real person who inherits the philosophy of Mo Sheng.

There is no successor. This is the most serious problem facing the Mohist family.

Look at Confucianism, the question of who is the heir is almost breaking their heads.

Looking at Taoism again, Zhuang Zhou said that actually I was very reluctant to be the heir, but Li Sheng kept pushing Zhuang Zhou to this position, and Zhuang Zhou had nothing to do.But even so, Zhuang Zhou also said that when he meets the right person, he will run away immediately.

Zhuang Zhou not only thought so, he actually did it.For this reason, Zhuang Zhou has trained many outstanding young people over the years. When he meets outstanding young people, he takes the initiative to give them a chance.The purpose is to cultivate the third generation as soon as possible, so that he can bypass the second generation and directly let the third generation take charge of Taoism. How great!
There is only the Mohist family, and there is no successor to the Mohist sage.

Some people have inherited Mo Sheng's ideas, but if they don't have the strength of a real person, it's not enough.

There is no way that the second-generation saw of the Mohist family in the future could be the first-generation or real person.With such strength, it is difficult to convince the public.

Some people have inherited Mo Sheng's strength. They have mastered the 72 heavenly skills, and under the rule of their ancestors, they are no longer weaker than Duke Huan of Qi.It's just that although these guys are very strong and can support the Mohist family's appearance, and are not far behind Confucianism and Taoism, their inheritance of Mohist philosophy is basically zero.

There are also many people who seem to have inherited Mo Sheng's ideas, but in fact they don't last long at all.Just pretending to be this way for some purpose.

As for the more disciples, they don’t even bother to show off their superficial skills.

There are also a large number of outstanding young people who have come to listen to the teachings of Sheng Mo.I listened for a while and then ran away.I am not going to criticize a certain military strategist by name. Back then, he first went to Luoyang, then to Qufu, and finally to the East China Sea. In the end, he ran away directly.

This is just like Han Feizi, who studied under Confucianism but eventually ran away and started his own business.

There were not just one or two people who learned a lot from the Mohists and eventually ran away and became powerful military strategists!
The Confucian family has a strong foundation, so it doesn’t matter if the Legalists take advantage of it. Many Confucian scholars said: Today you Legalists take advantage of our Confucianists, but someday we Confucians will swallow up your Legalists!

But the Mo family didn't have the confidence, and they were almost bald!

So much so that some people even say that the Mohist orthodoxy lies in the military strategist. What are you talking about?What is this word?

Does Mohist orthodoxy only include war?

What about Mohist philosophy?

What about Mo Sheng’s philosophy?

In fact, Mo Sheng's concept is quite good, but the personal requirements are extremely high, and most people cannot stick to it for a long time.Theoretically speaking, the handicraftsmen in the cities and the farmers in the countryside were the basic base of the Mohists.

The basic base of Confucianism is small and medium-sized landowners, small and medium-sized nobles, and a small number of large nobles.

The basics have decided that Confucianism and Mohism must be divided into life and death, the kind of life and death!In this world, there can only be one talker. If Confucianism has the final say, then Mohism will be dead.If Mohism has the final say, then Confucianism is not much better.

In order to prevent embarrassment and to reveal some strength, Xiao He, Wu Qi, and Lin Er all came.

Coupled with Han Xin and Zhuge Liang outside, everyone discovered that in less than a hundred years, Yancheng already had at least six great immortals. What if Yancheng was given another 100 years?
Finally, under the spotlight, Jiang Hua also arrived here.

When Jiang Hua came over, his subordinates designed two sets of clothes for him: one was made of coarse linen, with Jian'ai on his back and Fei Gong in his hand, showing him the image of a Mohist disciple.

The advantage of this image is that you can use the identity of a student and the disciple of Mo Sheng to interact with people. This identity is more cordial and approachable than the identity of Yan Gong.

But some people pointed out that this costume was too Mohist, and the Mohist family now lacks successors.The advantage of wearing this suit is that the Mohist disciples may become more focused, but the disadvantage is that the Confucian disciples may run away, and the Taoist disciples may watch the fun.

Therefore, the second set of clothing is Yan Gong's dress.

Finally, Jiang Hua came over wearing casual clothes.

It has long been a consensus that Mohist orthodoxy is in Yancheng and Jianghua.

Although Jiang Hua is different from Mo Sheng's ideas in many places, which makes many pure Mohist disciples dissatisfied, at least Jiang Hua can still see some shadow of Mohist ideas in Jiang Hua. "Jiang Hua has met all the senior uncles, senior brothers, and senior sisters..."

After a quick glance, Jiang Hua found that apart from himself, there were only a few young people present.They are all senior uncles, senior brothers, and senior sisters. There is not a single senior nephew, junior brother, or junior sister, so I am the youngest.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Hua began to tell the purpose of today: "Today's world is about to enter a new era."

"At this moment, Young Master Si is also hosting a banquet, but his guests are princes from great countries who own Jiuding."

"In this new era, those who have Jiuding are big countries, those who don't have Jiuding but have Da Zhenren are considered medium-sized countries, and those who don't have Jiuding and have Da Zhenren are small countries."

"Everyone under a big country is an ant, and a big country will definitely take action against other countries."

"If no one stops it, it won't be long before only Yancheng and other big countries are left in the world. This will be detrimental to the development of Yancheng."

"So, the purpose of inviting all the senior uncles and brothers here today is to solve this problem."

"Of course, this trip also has many benefits for you uncles and senior brothers."

"Today, the situation in the world is like this, so the great vassal states in the past, such as Song, Zheng, Wei, Lu, etc., will also understand this."

"Crisis bankruptcy reform!"

"Unless the danger reaches a certain level, even if Song Marquis Luhou and others are willing to reform, the nobles in the country will not agree to the reform."

Why did Qin's reforms succeed in history?
A big reason is that if there is no reform, Qin will be gone and completely destroyed by Wei.

Wu Qi led 50 Wei soldiers and swept across the [-] troops mobilized by Qin. At that time, Qin was the background, as if it was just making up the numbers.

Later, he was almost destroyed by Wei several times.

The whole country was awakened by Wei Guo.

The whole country has a strong desire to reform and become stronger. This is the prerequisite for the success of Shang Yang's reform.

Why are the nobles willing to cut the flesh? Because if they don't cut the flesh, they will have nothing when the Wei Kingdom comes.

The same principle holds true today. Before the birth of the Alliance of Great Powers, people with lofty ideals in countries such as Lu were of course willing to reform, but vested interests were unwilling. To be precise, the aristocrats were unwilling.

However, after the birth of the Alliance of Great Powers, the nobles will clearly realize that if there is no reform, there will be no place for their nobles.

"Nowadays, there will be no resistance for students from the three major universities to enter medium-sized or small countries."

"Those who agree with the concept of isolation can go to Yancheng."

"Those who don't agree with the concept of isolation can take this opportunity to go to a medium-sized country. Or, they can work hard to turn a small country into a medium-sized country."

Having said this, Jiang Hua drew a map and said: "Actually, the large vassal states in the past, such as Song, Lu, Wei, Zheng, etc., have a good foundation and a large population. As long as they are reformed properly, Although a single country is still no match for the big powers, as long as they unite, make good use of the contradictions between the big powers, and unite vertically and horizontally, there is still hope."

Hearing this, a voice came from the scene, and I don't know who said it: "Humph! The words are better than the songs. Will a big country tolerate the reform of a small country?"

"There is a saying in Yancheng that makes it very clear: People who have been exposed to rain always want to tear other people's umbrellas to pieces."

"If big countries succeed in reforming, will they watch small countries reform?"

"Even if the reform is successful, it is no match for a big country and will perish sooner or later. This is just using our blood, flesh and blood to delay time!"

"It's so dark!"

Hearing this, Jiang Hua smiled.

I'm not afraid of being scolded for being evil, but I'm afraid of not getting a reaction.

Calling Jiang Hua black-hearted means that the other party is already interested, but the price has not been agreed upon, so let's negotiate the price with conditions!

"Nowadays, as long as my uncles and senior brothers are willing, it is easy to become the ruler of a large vassal state. Moreover, this is a reform that the whole country supports with gritted teeth. Such reforms will be much less difficult and the probability of success will be higher. , you can better practice your personal philosophy.”

"But in the future, death is still very likely."

"However, personal ideas will always be just ideas without practice. A large part of the reason why there are so many first-generation and real people in the land of twenty counties lies in practice and collision."

"In the future, whether countries can recreate the miracle of twenty counties depends on whether your uncles and brothers have the courage to practice and collide."

"As for failure, as long as you can implement your ideas, what's so scary about failure and death?"

"Furthermore, in order to make your senior brothers' trip smoother. In the future, as long as my uncles and senior brothers can take charge of a country, all products in Yancheng will be discounted by [-]%!"
