Eternal Country

Chapter 916: The Mohist School in the Eyes of Yi Tianxing

"Dabai can't come out, so I came out this time because Dabai asked me to go out and gain some experience. It doesn't matter where I go. It should be fun to follow you guys." Ah Qing blinked and said with a smile.

Apparently, it didn't matter where she went. She had no real destination.

"Sister Aqing, if you can come, we can have a companion together. I heard from my husband that there are many beautiful scenery in Dayi, and each fairy city has its own unique characteristics. I think you will not be disappointed."

Yao Yue spoke up.

There was a sense of kindness in his expression and words.

Since they decided to follow Yi Tianxing, they began to consider Yi Tianxing and wanted to recruit all kinds of talents for him. Every human cultivator here is a genius. This time, they also received the luck from the Eternal Night Pride. There is no doubt that they will rise faster. Those who are not geniuses will become geniuses. This luck is enough to help them rise.

Therefore, they are all the backbone of the future human race. If it is possible, not taking one of them will be a huge gain.

Money is easy to get, but talent is hard to find.

Everyone else is like this, let alone Ah Qing.

Until now, no one knows Ah Qing's strength, and it is impossible to uncover his true strength. He has only made two moves, but each time was shocking, but no one can reveal his true strength.

This is an unfathomably powerful person.

If she could be won over, or even brought to the Great Yi Dynasty, even if she didn't join the Great Yi and only lived in the Great Yi, it would be an invisible foundation, and at the critical moment, it would be a trump card. No one could really ignore her existence.

This is also the reason why Yao Yue showed her goodwill without hesitation.

"Okay, then thank you Sister Yaoyue."

Ah Qing heard this, blinked, smiled softly and said.

I accepted the invitation naturally and directly, without any hesitation.

"I wonder if King Yi Huan welcomes Zhang to be a guest in Sunset City."

At this moment, Zhang Shun stood up and spoke to Yi Tianxing, with a hint of expectation in his words.

He made no secret of his intention to seek refuge.

"If Fellow Daoist Zhang is willing, I will be honored. How can I not welcome you? The gates of my Sunset City, and even Dayi, are always open to ambitious people of the human race. No matter who they are, I will gladly accept them."

A smile appeared on Yi Tianxing's face.

Zhang Shun is a top-notch naval talent. He has a great talent for naval warfare. Otherwise, he would not be able to occupy the position of naval commander in Liangshan Water Village. The saying "white shark in the waves" is not just empty talk.

How can you sit firmly without real ability

In the Great Yi Dynasty, land and air battles were possible, but there was no suitable candidate for naval battles. It was not that the navy could not be established, but to establish a navy, a general familiar with the navy was naturally needed to lead it. Such talents were even rarer and Zhang Shun was obviously one of them.

Next to Xuanhuang City, there is a huge Changqing River. This river allows a large number of warships to travel on the river and form a navy. With the Changqing River running through a large area, the area near the river can be completely controlled. With the Changqing River as the center, the area will be within the influence of the Great Yi Dynasty. The only thing to worry about is how to build warships suitable for sailing in the Changqing River.

This river is not peaceful at all, the piranhas in it have never been extinct.

If an ordinary warship goes in, maybe even the bottom of the ship will be eaten through.

It is not an easy task to build a warship that can travel on the Changqing River, not to mention that there may not only be piranhas in the river, but also some terrible aquatic beasts that may be hidden.

Therefore, the matter of forming a navy had not been on the agenda, but now it can be put on the plan.

"Sorry to bother you then."

Zhang Shun heard this and said with a smile.

Expressed willingness to go.

"I wonder what King Yi thinks of Mohist thought."

At this moment, a young man dressed very simply stood up from the crowd and asked Yi Tianxing, with a look of nervousness and anticipation on his face.

"Mohist?"

Yi Tianxing took a deep look at the young man and also felt a strong aura of cultivation from him.

This level of cultivation naturally cannot pose any fatal threat to him, but it strangely has a faint aura of danger.

And he asked about Mohism again.

What is Mohism? It is one of the top schools of thought among all the schools of thought. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was very popular and even had the ability to influence a country's national policy and the situation on the battlefield. It is conceivable how powerful it was.

The Mohist school was born in the Warring States Period. Its founder was Mo Di, who was later honored as Mozi.

The Mohist school was a strictly disciplined academic group, whose leader was called "Juzi". Its members had to promote Mohist ideas when they served as officials in various countries, and their salaries had to be donated to the group. The Mohist school can be divided into the early and late periods: the early period mainly involved social politics, ethics and epistemological issues, and focused on contemporary wars; the late period made important contributions to logic and began to move closer to the field of scientific research.

The main ideological propositions of Mohism are: equal love between people (universal love), opposition to aggressive wars (non-aggression), advocacy of thrift and opposition to extravagance and waste (frugal use), emphasis on inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors (knowing ghosts), and mastering the laws of nature (the will of heaven).

The Mohist school was also famous for its mechanical arts, and used the power of mechanical arts to influence various countries.

To be honest, for ordinary people, this kind of thought is naturally a kind of protection and love. This is also why many ordinary people at the bottom of society admired and regarded it as a treasure when Mohist thought first appeared. They were willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

But Yi Tianxing had a different opinion. After taking a deep look at the man, he slowly said, "The starting point of Mohist thought is good. The five major thoughts of universal love, non-aggression, frugality, understanding ghosts, and heavenly will are originally good. However, some of them are too idealistic and too beautiful. They do not take into account human hearts, reality and the overall situation, and do not know how to make choices."

There was no excessive praise for Mohism in his words, but instead he expressed his objection to some of its ideas.

Perhaps, the young man in front of him was the pride of the Mohist school, and he said it without hesitation. With his status, he did not need to do such deliberate flattery. It was unnecessary and against his will.

For a monk, the heart is the most important.

"Please let King Yi know!"

When the young man heard this, he did not show any anger immediately. Instead, he bowed and asked with a serious expression.

"The Mohists wanted everyone to be equal. This was a good idea, but it was too naive. People's hearts are ever-changing. Some are rich, some are poor. Whether you are mediocre or have extraordinary abilities, social classes will never disappear. How can we achieve equality for everyone? Do you think it is possible to make the rich and the poor equal? Of course, equality can be achieved in dignity. But how can equality for everyone generate desire and motivation? Without motivation, how can civilization develop? Only desire can promote the development of civilization."

"As for opposing aggressive wars and non-aggression, it depends on what kind of war it is. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the countries fought each other year after year. In the war between the two countries, the Mohists helped the weak country. For the Mohists, this seemed to be a righteous act of helping the weak and resisting the strong. In fact, this was only the righteousness of the Mohists. For the people of the two countries, it was the biggest executioner. The wars between the two countries continued, and the fighting continued. Not to mention the countless soldiers who died in the war, the people of the two countries were even more miserable. What kind of great love is there? This is just a small righteousness, not a big righteousness."

Yi Tianxing spoke slowly and expressed his views.

In his opinion, the behavior of the Mohists was nothing more than a stick to stir up trouble during the Warring States Period. Not only did it not bring stability, but it also plunged the world into more endless wars. It was really unnecessary.

During the Warring States Period, if the Mohists had been strong enough, they could have supported a powerful country, ended the entire Warring States Period, and put an end to the chaotic scene of fighting among countries. You hit me, I hit him, and the fighting went on back and forth, which was the suffering of the people of the world.

Only when the world is unified and only one country exists can various policies be implemented to ensure that the people of the world no longer have wars and can live and work in peace and contentment. And what did the Mohists do? They were just a troublemaker.

If he really encounters the Mohist School, Yi Tianxing will also feel very troubled.

But it must be said that the Mohists are very capable and a group of doers. They are indeed not to be underestimated.

Yi Tianxing only had some objections to the Mohist thought, not to deny their ability. If it could really be put into practice, the effect would surely be astonishing.

"Mohist thought is not suitable for chaotic times, but for prosperous times."

Zhuge Liang spoke and nodded.

If the Mohists had not stirred up trouble during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the time of unification might have been greatly pushed forward. This is certain.

It is just like when Qin Shihuang tried his best to suppress the Mohist school. If it were not for the Mohist school, the unification of the Qin Dynasty would not only have been faster, but the losses suffered would have been greatly reduced.

It would be strange if Qin Shihuang didn't hate them.

"Sister, who is this person? Is he the Mo family's genius? If my husband says this, won't he push this Mo family genius out? The Mo family's ability is still very good for governing the country. Isn't it a pity to do this?"

Lianxing whispered to Yaoyue.

"Whether it is true or not, this is my husband's way of dealing with the world. If you have the wrong idea and accept it rashly, it may not be a good thing. Instead, it may be a hidden danger. It is better not to accept it." Yao Yue said meaningfully.

The Eternal World is now a chaotic era. The various races are fighting for supremacy, and the winner has not yet been determined, and the territory has not yet been demarcated. It is unknown how long the chaotic world will last. Mohist ideas should not be applied to other races.
