Chapter 33: The Secret of the Decline of the Mo Family
"Giggles, why did the Mo family decline? That's a good question....." In her previous life, Yang Rong's major was history, Li Chengzong asked what she was best at, she was immediately happy, this girl picked up the bone china teacup, took a sip of fragrant tea, and then said, "Ah Wei, if a thing wants to rise or fall, the reasons are nothing more than internal and external causes, and the decline of the Mo family is no exception.......
Since his daughter-in-law wants to give a lesson to himself who has poor knowledge of literature and history, Li Chengzong naturally listens attentively and "wants to hear the details......
"Okay, then let's look at the internal causes first, first of all, the Mohists talk about love, in an era when princes are fighting and annexation wars are raging like diseases, it is really difficult to treat people's bodies as if they were their bodies. One of the benefits of the world that Mozi said is also love, love, and mutual benefit, so that the country does not attack, and people do not steal each other, human nature always has desires, it is difficult to achieve everyone and love, and the harmony of the world is the ultimate goal, and it is not so easy to achieve........" After Yang Rong finished speaking, she said, "Even in the previous life we lived in, it was extremely difficult to do love, this is something that can't be helped, you say, right?" ”
"Oh, I see, you're saying that the Mo family's idea of love is too advanced, right?" Li Chengzong said thoughtfully, "Good guy, this is simply the ancient version of communitarianism founded by Grandpa Ma, and the theory is too advanced, the productivity can't keep up with the theory, and it's strange that it will fail and decline......"
"Bingo!" Yang Rong glanced at her man with phoenix eyes, and then said with satisfaction, "Let's talk about the Mo family's 'Shang Tong', this also has a huge problem, in the early days of the Mo family, one person and one righteousness, ten people and ten righteousness, and one hundred people and one hundred righteousness, so that the upper and lower are the same, the upper and lower must be, the early set. The power is conducive to the accessibility of government decrees and the rapid improvement of work efficiency, and Mozi himself is a virtuous person, and the implementation of the giant system has the right to enforce the law on the people of the Mo family, which can form a strict and complete organizational ecology, which is also the reason why the Mo family can rise rapidly. However, after Mozi's death, the Mo family was divided into three, and the later giants were obviously not as capable as Mozi, and the Mojia system was not improved, so in the end, it was difficult for the Mohists to concentrate on seeking political status......"
Li Chengzong listened to Yang Rong's analysis thoughtfully, and did not say anything, which made Yang Rong on the side see it in her eyes and be happy in her heart, she liked the serious appearance of her man thinking about problems.
"There is also Mozi's advocacy of 'self-suffering for the extreme', and the extremely high standard of Mozi discourages many people, Zhuangzi said: 'Although Mozi can be alone, he can only do anything in the world'. The number of ink artists cannot be increased, and once it encounters a major chaos, it is very likely that the Mo family will suffer a major setback........." Yang Rong's analysis one by one, Li Chengzong listened to it with relish.
"This is the internal cause of the fall of the Mo family that I summarized, as for the external cause......... Yang Rong was about to talk about the external cause, when he heard Li Chengzong say, "I know a little about the external cause......
"Oh? Do you still know the external reasons for the fall of the Mo family? Come on, let's talk about it........." Yang Rong smiled slightly, and her sweet smile almost made Li Chengzong fall in.
"Emma, this girl is really good-looking......" Li Chengzong settled his mind, and then said, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Dong Zhongshu proposed to depose the hundred schools, respect Confucianism, the Mo family and other schools have been suppressed by Confucianism, under the ideology, how can he be allowed to learn, and then don't you say that the Mo family giant Meng Sheng took the Mo family to defend the city for the king of Yangcheng, and the Mo family martyred one hundred and eighty people, and in the later period, the Mo family followers suffered too many casualties, and in the later period, they evolved into rangers, chivalrous and forbidden, and were suppressed by the rulers, so far, if it does not decline, I think that's against the sky........."
Seeing Li Chengzong talking eloquently here, Yang Rong nodded again and again, "Ah Wei, what you said makes sense, but I think the most fatal point of the Mo family is that there is no successor." In fact, whether it is an academic organization or a non-governmental organization, just like starting a company, the most important thing in the early stage of a company is the team, and money is really not the most important ......."
"I know that the most important thing is talent, right?" Li Chengzong took over the topic of Yang Rong at once, it is true that in any period, talent is the most valuable, and with talent, there is everything.
"Yes, it is a talent, and the Mo family is no exception, at the beginning, the team led by Mozi overcame all the thorns and thorns, crushed all the schools, and fought one by one, not only to become a prominent scholar academically, but also to have the world in mind, stop Chu from attacking the Song Dynasty, and protect the weak.
Mozi's company was well-configured at the beginning, the team members were elites in various industries, Mozi as the CEO was very leadership and super high-level, the same desire, not the life of the virtuous, the world gathered to respond, so he achieved his peak, successfully raised funds in various countries, achieved academic listing, and with the strength of the company, the vassal states gave the Mozi family three points, and later Mozi died, and the successor giants could no longer reach Mozi's ability, and the company began to decline.
Among them, there are three recorded Mojia giants: Meng Sheng, Tian Xiangzi, and Belly Boss, the ability of these three people should be said to be there, but there is a huge difference with Mozi, to put it mildly, it is difficult for them to even defend Chengdu, how can they inherit and develop or even carry forward?" Yang Rong sighed, her tone full of regret for the Mo family.
"In the final analysis, this is a matter of heirs........." As soon as Yang Rong's words were finished, he heard Li Chengzong say thoughtfully.
"Yes, the most important reason for the decline and fall of the Mo family is that there is no successor, and the second is that after the death of Mozi, the Mo family was divided into three schools, divided into three schools: Xiangli's Mo, Xiangfu's Mo, and Deng Ling's Mo. Zhuangzi. The disciples of Xiang Liqin and the disciples of Deng Lingzi are bitter and self-teeth, that is, two of the three factions. They both practiced Mozi, but they were different, and they both attacked each other as other Mozi.
This is embarrassing, Mozi passed away as the founder, and then everyone began to separate, not acknowledging each other, and attacking each other, how to play, how to engage in academics, each doing its own thing. Without a unified system and instructions, it is impossible to concentrate the power of the Mo family to do things........." Yang Rong drank all the tea in the tea bowl, and then said, "Ah Wei, how do you say that such a Mo family can learn from Taoism, how to check and balance Legalism, and what can you use to confront Confucianism, who likes to change its appearance and is best at catering to the emperor's mind?" ”
"Yes, what to use to fight against Confucianism......." Hearing Yang Rong mention Confucianism, Li Chengzong's brows furrowed, "Confucianism, this hurdle really can't be bypassed..."
Li Chengzong's worries are not unreasonable, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, Confucianism has become a dominant family, and there is gradually a tendency to lose the tail, Li Chengzong wants to sit on the chair of the supreme in the world, how to deal with the relationship with Confucianism, it has become very important.........
