Mozi still has too many vagrants. The public merchant said the King of Yue, and the King of Yue said the public merchant said, "Sir, if you can make Mozi go to Yue and teach me, please split the land of Wu for 500 miles to seal Mozi." Gong Shang promised. So for the sake of the public, I still took fifty cars to see Mozi in Lu. He said: "I said the King of Yue in the way of a master, and the King of Yue said that he had said,' If you can make Zi Mozi go abroad and teach me, please take Wu's place 500 miles away to seal his son.' "

Zi Mozi's words are still fair: "What is the ambition of Zi Guan to be king?" The Italian king will listen to my words, and if he uses my words, he will go, feed on his stomach, clothe himself with clothes, and compare himself with a minister. Xi can take the national seal as zai! The more you don't listen to me, the more you don't need my way. I'll just go. This is also in China's ear, so why bother! "

The story tells that the Duke of Yue was sent to promote Mohism, and the King of Yue was surprised by Mohism. The King of Yue said that Mozi should be treated at a price of 500 yuan, which is enough to show that Gong Shang should be the person who got the essence of Mozi's thought more deeply, clearly and appropriately.

Mozi even praised Gong Shang directly, and his words of praise were never used by his great disciple Bird Slip.

Mozi swam south to Weiguo, and the car was full of books. Disciple Xian Tangzi felt very strange and asked Mozi:

"I remember you once taught Gong Shang's teacher, reading just to measure the right and wrong of things. What's the use of taking so many books when you go out now? " Xiantangzi means that according to your meaning, many things don't need to be learned from books to understand, but you have enough books to travel by yourself!

Mozi said: "The truth that all roads lead to the same goal does make mistakes when it is circulated. It is precisely because people can't agree on what they hear that there are many books. And people like Gong have been able to understand the nuances and grasp the essentials of this truth, so there is no need to teach everything in books. What's strange about this? "

Mozi can evaluate Gong Shang in this way, which shows that he has a deep understanding of Gong Shang. Two people who trust each other in knowledge are undoubtedly rare ideological confidants.

Mozi recommended disciple Gong Shang to be an official in Yue, or did Gong Shang travel? When talking about the King of Yue, he highly praised Mozi. The King of Yue said happily, "What if? Mr. Mo Mozi can come to Vietnam to teach me, and I am willing to give him 500 miles of land in the former Miwu country. " Gong Shang agreed to this condition.

The King of Yue prepared fifty chariots and asked Gong Shang to meet Mozi. Gong Shang said: "I used the way of a master to lobby the King of Yue. King Yue was overjoyed and said to me, "If you? Can let Mozi come to Yue to teach us, I am willing to put the original five hundred Li of Wu? The land was sealed to him. Mozi said, "What is the intention of the King of Yue? Suppose you? I think the King of Yue can listen to me. In my opinion, I can go, but I have to. Eat according to my appetite, dress according to my figure, and rank among ordinary ministers? How can I claim his fief on the grounds of street? What about Wang Yue? Don't listen to me, don't need my advice, I didn't go there to seek high? Did Guan Houlu betray Yi? This is also a betrayal. I'd better stay in the countries around the Central Plains, so why go looking for him? " Good for you or good for Mozi? This kind of behavior is more admirable, and he seems to see the image of his master more clearly in front of him? Plus the stalwart, tall, like a mountain standing in front of you? Before. I want to climb this peak and work hard one by one!
