I have to say that Li Zexuan's heart is really big enough, he wants to directly bring all the capable people of the Mo family under his command~!

Of course, it's no wonder that he is really Mo Huai's ability, especially in astronomy, physics, and optics, for Li Zexuan, who has just built Yanhuang Academy, he is simply the most perfect teacher candidate~! With the addition of Mo Huai, his workload in Yanhuang Academy will be greatly reduced in the future~!

Li Zexuan said, Mo Zhong and Mo Yun both eyes flashed, and a trace of hope appeared on their faces, they said that they were good to listen to the core disciples of the Mo family, but the work they did was no different from that of farmers, and they usually needed to do farming, otherwise what would they eat? What to drink? Only when the farm is not working, will he return to the Mo family to receive training or other arrangements from the organization.

They all have the ability to do it, but because of the identity of the ink man, they must stay in a desolate place and engage in hard work, and it is nothing to go on like this, but they came here with Mo Huai to make an appointment, and after seeing the prosperity of Chang'an City, their hearts were shaken~!

The suffering of the ink scholar is something that the disciples of other schools can't understand, and now Li Zexuan's words make them can't help but start thinking about what is wrong, why can't they rely on their own skills to let their families live a good life~?

However, although they think so in their hearts, they will not say it easily, and the organization and discipline have been deeply engraved in their hearts for many years~!

Mo Huai's brows furrowed, he straightened up, stared at Li Zexuan and said solemnly:

"Lord Li's kindness, the old man understands it~! But as an ink person, you must use Qiu Brown as your clothes, take your feet as your clothes, work day and night, and take self-suffering as the extreme~! Blindly greedy for the pleasures of the world, what qualifications do you have to become an ink person~? The old man promised you to become a teacher of Yanhuang Academy, which has violated the law of my Mo family, and I will no longer be qualified to lead the world's ink scholars and carry forward the ink science~! Therefore, the old man must resign from the position of this giant~! As for the other ink makers, I advise you not to waste your efforts in vain~! ”

Mo Huai said that, Mo Zhong and Mo Yun instantly had seven points of shame and three points of regret on their faces, and the two of them lowered their heads and did not say a word.

Li Gangda frowned and said, "Brother Mo, you are confused~!" The Mo family has gone from hundreds of thousands of people in the heyday of the pre-Qin dynasty to no more than 100 disciples today, so you haven't thought about the reason for this~? Do you think that the decline of the Mo family is only caused by the suppression of the emperors of various dynasties~? ”

Mo Huai was a little angry: "Isn't it~?" If it weren't for Emperor Wu's deposition of the hundred schools of thought and the exclusive respect for Confucianism, why would my Mo family end up where it is now~? ”

When Li Gang heard this, he was quite sad and said: "Ridiculous~! I didn't expect that Brother Mo, you still haven't seen the real reason for the decline of the Mo family~! Okay, the old man will wake you up~! Although the old man is learning Confucianism, today, the old man does not help Confucianism, nor does he help your Mo family, and the old man will analyze it with you as an outsider~!

You say that your Confucianism is declining because of the suppression of the emperors of various dynasties, but since Emperor Wu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism, why did the Mohist family, which is known as the world's most prominent learning with Confucianism, decline rapidly, while the Taoism and the law can survive in the cracks of Confucianism to this day~? Have you ever wondered why this is ~? ”

Li Gang's words directly explained the root cause of the decline of the Mo family, Mo Huai couldn't help but suffocate, his face turned pale for a while, but Li Zexuan listened carefully on the side, these old things, obviously Li Gang knows more than him, and it is also good to take this opportunity to learn and learn.

Li Gang didn't wait for Mo Huai to answer, and continued: "In the old man's opinion, the reason why the Mo family is in such a situation today is because your Mo family's requirements for your disciples are too harsh~! Why can the Confucian saints "never get tired of eating fine, and never get tired of being fine", while you ink writers can only "use fur brown as clothing, take trampling as clothing, day and night, and self-suffering as the extreme"?

Maybe it's because you have your faith at this time, but who said that people with faith can't rely on their own hands to live a good life of abundant food and clothing~? Could it be that living in dire straits every day can make you ink scholars superior to the world~? ”

I have to say that Li Gang's words can be said to be to the point, and Li Zexuan couldn't help but applaud when he heard it~! What you say makes so much sense~!

Among the 100 sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the four schools with the greatest influence were naturally Confucianism, Mo, Taoism, and Law. However, after the unification of the Qin and Han dynasties, their fates began to diverge: Confucianism became the orthodoxy and mainstream of Chinese culture; Because of its special nature, Legalism dominated the temple politics of the autocratic court for 2,000 years; Taoism, on the other hand, embraced believers and occupied civil society, becoming the spiritual home of hermits.

Only the Mohists, after an instant of glory, whether as a doctrine or as an organization, have disappeared and disappeared in the long river of history.

Why is the end of the Mo family so sad? Is it because the Mohists are not clever enough? Certainly not, the Mohist ideological system is full of great humanism and scientific spirit, and even from the perspective of modern people in the 21st century, it is still so shining.

In addition to the external cause of "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", there is also an internal reason for the demise of the Mohists: if a person wants to become a faithful believer in the Mohists, he must have a strong spirit of sacrifice and dedication, and must have a heart of fraternity for everyone, rather than personal feelings.

Therefore, "Zhuangzi Tianxia" criticized the Mohists and said: "His life is also diligent, his death is also thin, and his way is great; It makes people worried, makes people sad, and its actions are difficult to do. I am afraid that it cannot be the way of the saint, and the heart of the world is unbearable. Although Mozi is the only one who can do anything, he can't help the world! Far from the world, it is far from the king! ”

In contrast, being a Taoist disciple is much happier. The goal of Taoist practice is to become an immortal, which is a beautiful wish that can attract a large number of believers. And for Taoism, especially the long-established Zhengyi, there are not too many rules on abstinence, and the room technique is even a kind of immortal secret art.

As a religion of birth, Buddhism requires abstinence, but monks abstain from sex and enjoy spiritual satisfaction at the same time, thus seeing all suffering as a raft to the other side of happiness. It is precisely because of this "chicken soup for the soul" that devout Buddhist disciples can ignore the metaphysical hardships and pursue the metaphysical Zen pleasures.

And the Mohists have love, non-attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, non-life, non-music, thrift, and funeral...... These ideas are not enough to form the basis of the soul belief of the Mohist disciples. And if it is not based on firm beliefs, the life of hard asceticism will not attract fresh blood to join the Mo family, and the number of ink practitioners in the world will only get smaller and smaller~!

This is the internal reason for the decline of the Mo family~!
