Chapter 339 Once you enter the Mohist family, you will be a Mohist for life
"...Most of the people in Yiyang have joined the Mo family?"
The scientist nodded slightly and said with some confusion:
"Why are you so surprised?"
Why are you so calm? How did you do it when all the people in the county were attracted to your Mohist family? You are not a giant of the Mohist family, you are the leader of a pyramid scheme... Ying Chengyu held it in for a long time. If he had a calculator at hand, he could
Knock out the 6 key.
"Cheng Yu came from a humble background and has never seen much of the world. I really can't understand what my husband did.
"Farewell!"
With his hands clasped in fists, Ying Chengyu immediately stood up and walked towards the shabby wooden door.
Seeing the county magistrate's office in such shabby condition, Ying Chengxuan thought he had found the problem in Yiyang:
First, the rich see that the county magistrate's office looks like a poor man's house, and are worried that scientists will always sit on the side of the poor and cannot be treated fairly.
Second, the rich live in high-rise mansions, and have better food and clothing than scientists. Scientists appear to be poor people, and rich people have no respect for scientists.
After initially understanding what happened in Yiyang recently, Ying Chengyu realized that his thinking was too simple.
No wonder all the rich people want to move away from Yiyang, no wonder I will definitely leave Yiyang... Ying Chengyu has figured everything out.
"Your Majesty!"
Scientists hurriedly chased after him.
"Don't go, Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"I don't want to hear it."
Ying Chengyu put on his bamboo hat, pushed out the door, and walked along the main street without stopping, observing the pedestrians and vendors.
When I found out that these people were all disciples of the Mohist family and officials in Yiyang.
Seeing these people's innocent smiling faces and shining eyes, Ying Chengyu felt a creepy feeling.
Everyone is a royal guard, and Lao Zhu has to say 6 when he comes. Safety is safe under the rule of the Mo family, but the pressure is even greater than Qin Lu... Ying Chengyu said with a dark face.
Qin's laws add severe penalties to crimes such as harboring, thereby forcing people to report each other, supervise, and maintain order within the territory.
Because of the strict laws of the Qin Dynasty, those who violated the law were often punished by having their heads cut off.
When Ying Chengxuan first learned the Qin Code, he felt that this punishment was extremely unreasonable, and he once questioned Han Fei, the main compiler of the Qin Code.
"A murderer who kills someone should be executed according to the law. He is harbored by his brother. Although his brother is guilty, his crime does not lead to death."
Han Fei nodded.
Upon seeing this, Ying Chengyu immediately said:
"Since you agree with my point of view, then the Qin law of harboring and other crimes is unreasonable and should be revised."
Han Fei picked up his pen.
[It is reasonable and should not be changed.]
"You have agreed before that the younger brother who kills someone should die, but the elder brother who harbors his younger brother should not be punished with death. Why should it be different before and after?"
【To achieve reasonableness through unreasonableness.】
[Most of the people who are shielding have the same idea as the king, and this imbalance can make him hate the lawless people even more. 】
[The laws of the country are primarily to safeguard dynastic rule and social stability, rather than personal interests. What is unreasonable about sacrificing some personal interests to make the country strong? 】
[If murderers are not punished, more people will be killed. If those who protect people are not banned, more murderers will appear. In this way, the people will not be stable, and the country will be in chaos.]
[Human nature is inherently evil and must be restricted by laws and regulations.]
Ying Chengyu thought about the public security situation in the Qin Dynasty and was persuaded by Han Fei. He was once again amazed by the wisdom of the ancients.
The times have limited the vision of the ancients and also blinded his eyes.
China's current homicide detection rate is as high as 99.9%, but that is based on modern technological means and the Sky Eye system composed of ubiquitous surveillance.
In the Qin Dynasty, there was no such thing as DNA or cameras.
Under such circumstances, Qin was able to become the only country among the seven countries with no bandits in its territory. The proportion of government power in this was very low, and most of it was the power of the people.
If a thief commits illegal acts by robbing and killing people in the middle of the road, and passers-by within a hundred steps of the road sit idly by and do not step forward to stop the thief, they will be fined with two sets of armor.
Two pairs of armors from the Qin Dynasty were very expensive. For an ordinary family, they were equivalent to their entire savings.
With such a strict legal system, few people would choose to sit idly by.
This punishment is indeed somewhat unfair, and this is an undisputed disadvantage.
But compared to after the decree was promulgated, many violations of law and discipline have been prevented, and society has changed very peacefully.
The people of Qin can completely accept this shortcoming, and no one can guarantee that they will not be robbed in their lifetime.
Yiyang, governed by scientists, is an advanced version of Qin's laws. The people of Yiyang are not forced to act bravely, report and supervise, but do so spontaneously.
Qin Lu's sense of oppression was already very strong, but after knowing that Yiyang was a disciple of the Mohist family and officials, Ying Chengyu felt a hundred times more oppressive than Guanzhong.
"It's like the people around me are all Aunt Chaoyang, and I always feel like I'm about to go in the next moment..."
The same thing, whether forced to do it or done voluntarily, has completely different effects.
"Your Majesty."
The scientist stopped in front of Ying Chengyu. He was so anxious that he didn't wear a hat.
When people on the street saw the true appearance of the scientist, those who bought rice stopped buying, those who sold noodles stopped selling, and they stopped walking quickly without knowing what was urgent...
These people spontaneously stopped in front of Ying Chengyu and stood with their great master.
The Mohist family... Ying Chengxuan looked at the people who came spontaneously in front of him, and stopped silently at the crowd that was still gathering here. This was the first time that he experienced the power of the Mohist family up close.
This is the only doctrine among hundreds of schools that has military strength and strict organization. It only governs one city and can make the entire city full of Mohists in a short period of time.
No matter whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, or Legalism, it is impossible to have as much appeal and appeal as Mohism.
"It's really scary..."
The lips under the bamboo hat moved slightly, and Ying Chengyu spoke silently.
"This is my friend. If nothing happens, I'm sorry to bother you."
The scientist said apologetically.
When the crowd heard this, they all said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll be fine if you have nothing to do." They all went about their unfinished business.
As soon as he said it, everyone dispersed.
More than a few months ago, most of the ordinary people in Yiyang, who had no idea who the scientists were, behaved when they heard the scientists' words, comparable to the elite soldiers of the Qin army who enforced orders and forbade them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ying Chengyu raised his head and looked around, not wanting to continue exploring this county. From the behavior of at least a hundred people just now, he already knew the true appearance of this county.
He turned around, took out his horse, and headed towards the city gate with its reins.
"Go on, before I leave Yiyang, give me a reason not to take you back."
Ying Chengyu said to the scientist.
"Your Majesty, do you think I have not managed Yiyang well?"
"Only the Mohist disciples can survive when Yiyang is governed. Is this Mohist Yiyang or Qin Yiyang?"
“Is the country important to the king?
"If the King of Qin is tyrannical and unethical, and goes against the grain, the people of the world will have a hard time living. Should your Majesty support the Qin State like this?"
"Brother Huang wouldn't be like this..."
"What if?"
"If this is really the case, then change to another king."
The sound of horse hooves was crisp and slow, because Ying Chengyu didn't walk very fast and wanted to give the scientist enough time to talk.
The scientist is also a very special person in his heart, a person who can truly be called selfless. Having lived from the people to the king, he has a natural affinity for the Mohists who stand on the side of the people.
He hoped that scientists could convince him, just like Han Fei convinced him of "covering up and other crimes".
Perhaps, it is inevitable for scientists to do this... he thought.
Only by investigating its roots and understanding its logic can we make an accurate judgment.
"exactly."
The scientist smiled. His original intention has not changed, and he pointed to the way of heaven:
"If it is not a disaster, Yiyang will be Yiyang of Qin."
To limit the power of the king... Ying Chengyu agreed with this statement.
Power needs to be restricted, and absolute power will lead to absolute corruption.
Perhaps after his death, the Mohist family would not be allowed to exist, but now, he, the leader of the empire, felt that the Mohist family should at least not be annihilated for this reason.
"There are maggots in the empire, and it cannot clean itself up. The Mohist family came to do justice for heaven, which is somewhat interesting...
"Why did those rich people leave Yiyang? Did you force them to join the Mo family?"
Joining the Mo family is very simple and there are almost no requirements.
But after joining, the Mohist family had the most demands among the hundred.
One of them is to hand over most of the wealth. This wealth is not to enrich the rich, but to support the poor and maintain the daily needs of the Mohist family.
And this is not a one-time payment, but a long-term obligation.
Many Mohists only kept their daily necessities, and then handed all their property into the hands of the tycoon, who distributed it uniformly.
After working hard for a lifetime, it may even be the wealth that several generations have worked hard for. After joining an organization, most of it is used as membership fees. Who can bear this?
"The Mohists never force others. I don't know why those people left. I treat them equally."
"I believe in universal love.
"Humans are social animals and are exclusive. When the entire county is filled with Mohists, no matter how smooth your bowl of water is, those who are not Mohists will be under great pressure."
Ying Chengqiao chuckled.
"For example, I feel a lot of pressure now when I am walking with you, a giant of the Mohist family."
As the two walked together, almost everyone they met paid attention to them.
Scientists are mostly looked at with love and trust.
Most of the people who looked at Ying Chengxuan were exploring.
Although these glances were not malicious, Ying Chengyu still felt uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty is joking.
"Since I entered Yiyang, the number of people in Yiyang has doubled. There are far more people coming than leaving."
Ying Chengyu was not surprised and said:
"According to your Mohist philosophy, only the poor come here."
"……yes."
Mohism treats everyone equally and strives to love others, family and self without distinction.
When poor people come to Yiyang, the Mo family will give them food and shelter.
But as the saying goes, love each other and benefit each other.
I love you, and you should also love others. I give you conveniences, and you should also give conveniences to others.
It's okay to eat Mohist food and stay in Mohist house once, but Mohist won't say anything.
But if you want to live and eat for free for a long time and do nothing, you are prostitution for free, and the Mohist family does not allow it.
The poor should join the Mohist family, and everyone would be a Mohist, and then they would farm, study, and work together.
The Mohist family values frugality, so Mohists are not allowed to live an excessively luxurious life.
If you have any spare money, hand it over as soon as possible, and then use it to help more brothers and sisters - everyone in the world is the Mohist's brothers and sisters.
In Korea, which has experienced violent turmoil, the most common people are the poor who have lost their life goals and don't know what to do next.
In order to survive, they overthrew the nobles. Some lost their husbands, others lost their parents and children. Some lost arms and legs, and some had no place to live.
This vigorous peasant uprising brought not only life but also suffering to the surviving peasants.
They shocked the First Emperor and the whole world, and they didn't know how to go next.
And scientists gave them guidance.
Yiyang, where scientists rule, is a holy place for those who have never experienced a luxurious life.
The Mohist family's rule that they could not wear silk but only linen clothing was like nothing to them. Before they joined the Mohist family, they had only worn linen clothing.
Everything in Mohism is open to the public, such as the art of war, martial arts, various industries, agriculture and so on.
If you join the Mohist family, you can learn whatever you want. We are all brothers and sisters. We eat the same, wear the same clothes, and are controlled by the same laws. How wonderful it is.
"Just look at it, this is just the initial prosperity."
Ying Chengyu, who wanted to understand, looked at the sincere smiling faces on the street and no longer felt creepy - only people with evil intentions are afraid of supervision.
"After a few years, capable people will pursue a better life. When they have the ability to become rich and see a better life, they will leave the Mohist family, which they cannot enjoy, and leave Yiyang."
"Once you enter Mohism, you will be a Mohist for life."
The scientist said solemnly.
The Mohist school is a school of thought among hundreds of schools, and it is also a strictly disciplined organization. It is easy to enter the Mohist school, but it is impossible to leave the Mohist school.
The Mohists who open up everything to others are like-minded people who are committed to realizing a harmonious society, not indulgent people who are greedy for pleasure.
In the Mohist family, all its members are Mohists, and Mohists must obey the leadership of the master and obey the orders.
When Mohists became officials during the Warring States Period, they still could not break away from Mohism. They had to vigorously promote Mohism's political ideas. If they found it difficult to implement, they had to resign and accept punishment.
It is precisely because of these strict disciplines that the Mohists laid a solid ideological foundation and developed good habits of observing rules and disciplines.
Historical records record: Mozi served one hundred and eighty people, and all of them were able to walk through fire and die without turning around.
Leaving the Mohist family is tantamount to betrayal and is not allowed.
Ying Chengyu fell silent, knocked on his horse, and walked with the scientist to the city gate.
Looking at it, it is full of joy and peace, just like Yiyang in paradise.
As well as a steady stream of rich people leaving the city and poor people entering the city at the city gate.
"I can't let you lead Korea. Korea cannot only be poor. Only by pursuing a better life can mankind progress. The poor will become rich sooner or later.
"You can control the people in a county, but you can't control the people in a place. When there are more people, the thoughts become complicated. There won't be so many selfless people, and I am not one of them.
"A selfish person like me has great respect for the selfless Mohist giant, but he can't get close to him."
