After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 449 Straightforward
Meng Di smiled, with admiration on his face, and said directly.

"Master Gongsun said that you have improved a lot of the utensils in the workshop recently. I also heard that you were a nobleman of the Song Dynasty before. It seems that you should have read books. I don't know which sect or sect you are from, or own theory."

When Mo Di heard the question, he didn't rush and replied calmly.

"That's true. My ancestors of the Mohist family belonged to the royal family of Yin and Shang. It was only later that the family became poor and became craftsmen. However, the family education is still there. I have been literate since I was a child. Now I am studying Confucianism in Huaicheng Academy, following Confucian scholars. .”

Hearing this, Meng Di understood in his heart that the present Mo Di did not create his own theory, and even later directly founded the Mohist School, the biggest opposition of the Confucian school. .

Now that Mo Di has not established his own theory, Mengdi is determined to exert influence in this area, at least to make Mohism develop in the direction he wants, so he pondered for a while before speaking.

"I heard from Lord Gongsun that you are not only able to read and write, but also have a good conversation. Then I would like to ask, what do you think about the Han State attacking Wu State and defeating Jin State?"

Hearing this, Mo Di pondered for a moment, without changing the expression on his face, and spoke directly.

"The Han State attacked Wu State in the south and resisted the Jin State in the north. It was nothing more than wanting the Han State to obtain a larger territory. On the one hand, it was used for self-protection, and on the other hand, it was ambitious and wanted to annex other vassal states. So start some senseless wars."

"In my opinion, the best way should be to rely on the strength of Han to submit to other vassal states. You can choose to send the conceived Emperor Zhou to Luoyi to set the world. is the best choice."

Sure enough, it was an anti-war tone, Meng Di smiled slightly, and then spoke directly.

"It seems that Mr. Mo is also a knowledgeable person. If that is the case, why only study the words of Confucianism? It happens that Huai City has collected a lot of opinions from various schools. This king intends to let Mr. Mo study in it. I don't know what you mean. How about next?"

After Mo Di heard this, his face showed longing, and he nodded without hesitation.

"It's exactly what I want, thank you King of Han for your kindness."

Judging from the current situation, Li Kui and Wu Qi are still young, and Bu Shang is also planning to start from the grassroots. It will take a while to gradually become the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, but the Mo Di in front of him is very different.

This is a professional talent. If Mo Di is allowed to stay in Han to work, not to mention anything else, the output and quality of the workshop alone will be greatly improved.

Meng Di also put a lot of thought into this, Mo Di was free to look at the book collection in Huai City, and at the same time he began to prepare his troops for battle, because according to the news sent back by the secret agents of the Yue Kingdom.

Recently, the State of Yue is preparing to attack the State of Wu, but now the navy is still in training, and Guoyuan has not stabilized for the time being, so Meng Di will not attack the State of Yue at this time.

But he doesn't mind expanding his territory at this time. As for Gumi City, which will be the focus of the two sides' contention in the future, it is obvious. Whoever makes the first move depends on who is the first to lose his temper.

Half a month later, the army had been reorganized, and before Mengdi left, he called Mo Di over again and asked.

"Mr. Mo should have gained something from studying recently, right? Now I'm going to lead the troops to the south, because there is going to be a war between Yue and Wu. I don't know what you think of Mr. Mo at this point?"

After thinking for a while, Mo Di spoke with his calm expression still on his face.

"There has always been animosity between Yue State and Wu State. This time the war must be endless. The king of Han led his troops to the south at this time, obviously wanting to continue to expand the power of Han State to the south. But in this way, it is Bully the small with the big."

"Even if the land of Wuyue is won in the future, the local Wuyue people will not be convinced. If someone provokes it, South Korea may fall into a quagmire and cannot extricate itself."

This kind of thing will definitely happen, not to mention that Zhao Yang, who is now in the state of Jin, will not miss such an opportunity. Meng Di nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then spoke.

"Mr. Mo's words are all against starting a war. The world is already in conflict. If Han does not launch a war, it will not be able to maintain its current strength. It is far from enough for us to rely on hegemony."

But Mo Di did not give in at all, but confronted each other tit for tat, he cupped his hands and said loudly.

"There is no vassal state to set an example. If the Han State sets the rules by virtue of its current strength, then other vassal states will definitely follow suit. As long as they can uphold justice, the world will surely be peaceful."

"Since the Zhou royal family established Luoyi as the capital, there have been constant disputes in the world. However, at the very beginning, Qi and Jin ruled the hegemony, and the princes of the world all followed each other and went around to fight for disobedience. It has been nearly three hundred years."

"To this day, the selfishness of the monarchs of various vassal states is increasing, and they continue to fight abroad for their own interests. It is because of this that there is today's chaos. Han has now become the largest country among the vassals."

"The strength has already surpassed all heroes. At this time, we should cultivate good governance internally and temporarily threaten external forces to force those vassal states to obey the rules established by the Han State. The people of the world have justice in their hearts. In this way, the unstoppable Han King can be achieved The name of the world."

This is a proper way to dominate but it is not to Mengdi's appetite, he smiled lightly and said.

"What you're talking about is just domineering, but have you ever thought about unifying the world and letting Li Ming live, so that you can enjoy the good governance of Han from now on? Wouldn't it be a great achievement?"

Speaking of which, Mengdi stood up slowly, holding the hilt of the sword, with a look of contempt on the world on his face.

"Since the Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the feudal vassals, for the convenience of management, the public houses and nobles were derived. For hundreds of years now, many people have remembered their rights and interests, but neglected their responsibilities."

"The people who suffer are all the people in the world. They are driven by these nobles like pigs and dogs. This situation cannot continue. Today, the monarch of our Han Kingdom, Meng Di! We must sweep the Liuhe with the people in the world in mind."

"From now on, end the situation where the feudal lords are all at the same time, let the world be unified, and let my Huaxia no longer have the scourge of separatism!"
