"Seize the wealth of the world and enrich a village!"
When the Confucian journal was published, the whole world was in an uproar. The Mohist village was the richest in the world, and everyone in the Tang Dynasty envied it. However, after being provoked by the Confucian journal, the people all over the world immediately felt that the wealth made by the Mohists was theirs, but the Mohists used the wealth they created to feed the Mohist village without taking them into account.
Although the Tang Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, ordinary people are still poor. Compared with the Mojia village, the first village in the world, it can be described as a heaven and a hell. Not to mention ordinary people, even the people in Chang'an City envy Mojia village!
Qiu Fu!
No matter in any era, let alone under the influence of the Confucian concept of not suffering from oligopoly but suffering from inequality, the people of the Tang Dynasty immediately attributed their suffering to the Mohist school. For a moment, the reputation of the Mohist School declined sharply, the goods of the Mohist school were boycotted one after another, and there were even many acts of hostility to the Mohist school.
In particular, some workshops that use Mohist patents no longer pay Mohist money for this reason. At the same time, a large number of workshops began to steal Mohist ink technology, and they were unscrupulous.
"Hahaha! The Confucius family really made an extraordinary move. They began to criticize the Mohist School in terms of righteousness. This time, the Mohist school was doomed." in the Confucian journal, Wei Si'an laughed loudly. He hated that the Mohist school had cut off his career. Originally, he had the opportunity to become a son-in-law. Finally, because the Mohist family could only live in the Confucian journal, now he relies on the Confucian journal to ruin the Mohist school.
"Confucius offered wine wisely. If the Mohist school wants to prosper, it must need financial support. However, if the Mohist school has money, it will be hated by the people all over the world. Such a contradiction, I see how the Mohist family can resolve it." editor in chief Ma said proudly.
"Boss, it's not good. The ink magazine has been published!" suddenly an editor came in a hurry.
"The ink magazine has been published, so what? I don't believe that the Mohists can turn the sky." Wei Si'an snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to take a look at an ink magazine, and was stunned there.
"Getting rich first drives getting rich later!"
Editor in chief Ma also took over an ink magazine. He couldn't help but look at it again. No one thought that the Mohists had launched a theory that could compete without being few and suffering from inequality.
Ink magazines directly compare the living standards of Chang'an people since the revival of Mohism. Ten years ago, the ordinary labor money in Chang'an city was about 100 Wen a month, but now Chang'an city is generally 300 Wen a month, and some can even reach 500 Wen or 1000 Wen. This price is far higher than that in other places in the Tang Dynasty, including Luoyang.
The Confucian journal even asked whether the people all over the world would like to live 100 Wen a month, 300 Wen a month, or even more wages in the future. It even directly criticized that Confucianism had not led the people all over the world to the road of prosperity for thousands of years.
Editor in chief Ma and Weisi settled in silence. Although Confucianism claimed that there was no shortage but inequality, which won the hearts of the people, to be fair, no one likes to live a poor life. Although the concept of Mohism is uneven between the rich and the poor, even the minimum standard is higher than Confucianism, let alone the future children will be better.
After the publication of the ink magazine, the people in Chang'an were in an uproar and talked about it one after another.
"Neither oligopoly nor inequality!"
"Getting rich first drives getting rich later!"
These two ideas collide with each other in Chang'an city. Chang'an city is the place where the gap between the rich and the poor is the largest. However, this gap is only relative. Compared with other places, Chang'an city's life is much better,
If we say that Mohist revival benefits the most from Mohist village, the people of Chang'an city are the second largest beneficiaries of Mohist revival. Relying on the advantage of being close to Mohist village, Chang'an City has developed rapidly in recent years. Whenever advanced Mohist products are born, Chang'an city can always benefit first. Merchants in Chang'an city seize the first opportunity and make a lot of profits.
Although Luoyang City keeps catching up, Luoyang city relies on convenient transportation to gather wealth from all directions, while Chang'an city relies more on Mohist ink technology, so it can be in a stalemate with Luoyang, otherwise it would have been overtaken by Luoyang.
The people in Chang'an city are not blind, and Chang'an City has a strong business atmosphere. They naturally tend to the concept of getting rich first and driving the later. Moreover, Mohist village does not make empty statements. In the villages around Chang'an City, many people benefit greatly from Mohism.
For a while, although the Confucian concept of not suffering from oligopoly but suffering from inequality prevailed throughout the Tang Dynasty, the concept of getting rich first and driving the rich later was also spreading. Even in Chang'an City, the concept of Mohist getting rich first and driving the rich later was better than Mohist concept of not suffering from oligopoly but suffering from inequality.
"What a Mohist, he openly criticized Confucianism for its vegetarian diet for thousands of years and failed to lead the people to live a good life." in the Confucius house, Kong Yingda looked at the contents of the Mohist magazine and puffed his beard and stared angrily. In his heart, the supreme Confucianism became a sinner hindering the prosperity of the world in the mouth of Mohist.
"The Mohist school is full of nonsense. In all dynasties, there was no prosperous era and no resurgence. These are not the credit of my Confucianism for governing the world." Yu Zhining snorted coldly.
Kong huisuo can't help sighing. The past dynasties are indeed the time of resurgence and prosperity. However, each dynasty is a reincarnation and returns to the days of poverty and emptiness. According to this understanding, what Mohist Zi criticized is not wrong, but he just wants to think about this idea in his heart. After all, he is still a child of Confucius and must safeguard the interests of Confucianism.
Kong Yingda sneered: "the success of the Mohist Debate saved the Mohist son from a disaster, but he should not be happy for too long. This remark is right in my plan. The Mohist son doesn't mean to get rich first and drive the rich later, so he encourages the workshops all over the world and requires the Mohist school to open its ink skills."
"What Kong Jijiu said is very true. The Mohist school didn't say that he should get rich first and drive the rich later, so let him take it well." Yu Zhining sneered. As long as the Mohist School loses the advantage of ink technology, the Mohist school is not afraid at all.
"There are also doctors who need to speed up, and the alliance between doctors and Mohism must be disintegrated." Kong Yingda thought.
Yu Zhining confidently said: "Confucius offered wine at ease. Not to mention that Mo Wu was not a doctor, he said that he was young and in a high position. There had long been dissatisfaction from highly respected doctors. In addition, there was no harmony within the doctors. Many doctors believed in the doctor's five element theory. Mo Wu and doctor Hua advocated Mo medicine. There had long been a quarrel. The Taiyi order has assured Xu that Mo Wu can be expelled from the doctor in a few days."
Kong Yingda sneered: "OK! Doctors have been attached to Confucianism for thousands of years. How can they turn to Mohism in just ten years? Once doctors return to Mohism, there is only one vein of Taoist external elixir. I see how Mohism can compete with Confucianism in terms of literature and science."
As long as we can win over the doctors, we will break the arm of Mohism and increase the strength of Confucianism.
"Kong offered wine and planned strategies. This time, Yu believed that he could certainly surpass Mohism." Yu Zhining complimented.
Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda looked at each other with a smile. They couldn't help feeling complacent. Although Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda had different political views, they were consistent in dealing with Mohism.
