Chapter 450: Guard against death

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Sun Bin listened to Yunyao's deception, and he took it seriously. Looking at the world, everyone puts blood ties first and puts their family before the country.  So what proposition can replace blood relationship and make everyone agree with it and be willing to sacrifice for it?  This smart military strategist is also thinking about whether it is the benevolence and righteousness of Mencius or the universal love of Mohism?

    It seems that universal love is more suitable and is deeply loved by the general public, but it is suppressed by princes and ministers.  As for benevolence and righteousness, although Mencius proposed the existence of righteousness that transcends benevolence, it is still difficult to promote Mencius's ideas in Qi State.

    So what about the Legalist method?  It is said that the Qin State's martingale reform was implemented, and all the princes of the Qin State gave up their own land to inspire the people.  No Qin prince is allowed to snatch land from the people. At the same time, the people can only do two jobs: war and farming.

    Sun Bin thought of Wei Wuzu of Wei State again. Wei State was the first to reform and succeeded. The combat effectiveness of Wei Wuzu was once unparalleled in the world.  Unfortunately, things began to decline in the era of King Wei, and the combat effectiveness of Wei soldiers was not as good as before.  Sun Bin had fought against the state of Wei and had a deep understanding of the development and decline of Wei soldiers.

    "Landlord." Sun Bin suddenly said: "Although the farmers who cultivated the land in the past were barbarians or Chinese, the land belonged to the emperor, but now the land belongs to the farmers, that is, the landlords. At that time, Wei Wu's soldiers were unparalleled in the world, because  The Wei State encouraged landowners to join the army and receive noble rewards. Now Wei Yang's reform has the same purpose. It encourages small landowners to participate in the war and distributes profits to domestic landowners. This is the way to break the blood ties and strengthen the country."

    Sun Bin figured it out on his own. He thought about why the blood relationship would become a backward relationship.  Obviously in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the nobles were all blood relatives, and even the princes were relatives. At that time, wars were based on who had the most relatives.

    "But the princes and nobles are relatives to each other, what does it have to do with the landlords in the world?"  During the Western Zhou Dynasty, all the landowners in the world were ordinary Chinese, and most of them were even savages.  Nowadays, when the nobles fight, the landlords have no benefit, so why should they help the nobles fight?

    The current landowners are all barbarians and nobles of the same lineage, but they are not related to each other.

    So Confucius¡¯ benevolence is towards the nobles, while Mencius¡¯ righteousness is towards the landlords.  Sun Bin was very excited because Yunyao provided him with a new perspective on history.  In the past, Sun Bin, like everyone else in the Warring States Period, believed that people had only a few simple identities, such as good guys and bad guys, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, friends, teachers and students.  But now I look at it from the perspective of interest groups, and I realize that the world is not just about countries, but also landlords and nobles.

    In the past, the game was a game between nobles, but now it is a game between nobles and landlords, so how to mobilize the landlords is the key to a strong country.

    In fact, it is to give up profits, to give up the profits of the nobles to the landlords, and to give up the ascendant channels of the nobles to the landlords.  The Wei State divided profits through war and robbery, while the Qin State in the early days tightened its belt and distributed gifts.

    "So righteousness is to let landlords and nobles gain the same status and break the bloodline of nobles." Sun Bin said excitedly.

    Are all people in wheelchairs so powerful?  Yun Yao was thinking about getting a wheelchair herself to see if her IQ would be able to gain high ground if her feet were off the ground.  Seeing Sun Bin draw inferences about other cases, Yunyao felt inferior.

    In fact, the main reason was that Sun Bin had studied Wei Wuzu and had laid a solid foundation. So when Yunyao talked about breaking the bloodline, he immediately thought that Wei Wuzu soldiers came from landlords, not the previous nobles. Although the soldiers were different, the treatment was the same.  of.  Whatever the nobles could gain from fighting, the landlords could also gain from fighting. Therefore, the landlords were very active in fighting, so that Wei became the most powerful country in the early Warring States Period, only to begin to decline decades later.

    Li Kui¡¯s reform in Wei State was to suppress the hereditary nobility, and internal affairs and military affairs were taken over.

    Qi State has not inspired the landlords, but the landlords have indeed become stronger and stronger.  The question was how to get both nobles and landowners to believe in one rule?  A rule that landowners would be willing to work for.

    "It's difficult." Sun Bin couldn't help but look at Yunyao and asked: "I wonder if you have any way to convince the landlords and nobles while transcending the rules of blood relationship? What should be the difference between Huayi, universal love, benevolence and righteousness?  choose?"

    In fact, if you go beyond the bloodline rule, you must kill the hereditary nobles, but Sun Bin is a Warring States person after all, and he doesn't know that "princes and generals have their own kind". He still hopes that nobles and landlords can coexist.

    "Why don't you want them all?" Yunyao said: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the three are not contradictory, are they? There are hundreds of schools of thought contending in Jixia College. In fact, the opinions of the hundreds of schools of thought have their own strengths and weaknesses. They are all blind people trying to figure out the elephant. See  It seems like tit-for-tat, but we can definitely learn from each other's strengths."

    "A blind man touches an elephant? Are you a member of the Mohist family? I heard that Mohists are good at seeking common ground while reserving differences. They not only love all people, but also absorb the strengths of Confucianism and Taoism and use them flexibly." Sun Bin felt that what Yunyao said was the result of the Mohist family.It is a pity that the Mohist's words are the most criticized. The monarch does not like the restraint of the Mohist, and hundreds of schools of thought do not like the Mohist's tolerance, so they all criticize the Mohist.

    "Yes." Yunyao is indeed a Mohist.

    "Mo scholars only exist in the countryside and have difficulty entering the court. If you are a Mohist, I cannot recommend you, otherwise the monarch will be unhappy and you will be in danger of your life, because Jixia Academy will regard you as an enemy."  Sun Bin's words illustrate how unpopular Mohists are among high-level officials. For the sake of wealth, some Mohists can only hide their identity as Mohists and enter the temple, and never say anything about their love for the rest of their lives.

    Yunyao doesn¡¯t care. The world belongs to the common people. How many people are there in the temple?  Only by controlling the people can the world be controlled. Those who fear Mohism in Qi are like savage beasts. No wonder they can't mobilize the landlords. Don't you think that the current landlords all respect universal love?

    Thinking about it on the other hand, it is because Mohists can mobilize the landlords that the princes and nobles are afraid.  The Mohist is already so powerful. If he goes into the temple to raise his arms, won't the Qi country have to change its dynasty again?  Jiang Qi has become Tian Qi, will Tian Qi also become Mo Qi?

    Because the Mohists are really powerful, we must guard against them and not give them a channel to speak out. We block the Mohists in the countryside, lest we be replaced by the Mohists when we open our eyes.

    The fear of the princes, princes and ministers is well-founded, and the strict defense against the Mohist is also well-targeted. It is not because the princes, princes and ministers are confused, but because they clearly realize that the power of the Mohist is far beyond their control, and they will be killed by the Mohist if they are not careful.  Counter.  Hereditary nobles who have been hereditary for hundreds of thousands of years still have this political intuition.

    The reason why various schools of thought are afraid of Mohism is because Mohism is open to all rivers, and their ideas are likely to be absorbed, digested, and improved by Mohists for reverse output. Confucianism and Taoism are the most affected.

    Nowadays, many Confucian scholars and Taoist priests also claim to be Mohists. Their frugal burial practices are exactly the same as those of Mohists, and they have been assimilated.  Mohists are against extravagance, which is also disliked by everyone.  Many people from hundreds of schools of thought went to become princes and ministers, but those who worked as Mohists could only do the most tiring work and enjoy the least blessings, which was thankless.

    "But you can't deny that different opinions can seek common ground while reserving differences, and can coexist. When meeting outsiders, we need to distinguish between Chinese and foreigners. When encountering difficulties, we need benevolence and justice, and our lives cannot be without it.  goal, so the ultimate goal is to love the world and build a country of great harmony where the whole world is for the common good.¡±

    Hearing what Yunyao said, Sun Bin couldn't help but nod, and couldn't agree more.  But he soon discovered the problem and said distressedly: "It is already difficult to learn just one subject. How can we integrate it and apply it flexibly? I think only a few Mohists can be so talented."

    The key question is pointed out, that is, how to do it?  In this Warring States period when most people were illiterate, how to spread complex ideas of integration?
