What's more, it works well? Yan Fu is really shocked now, Li Hui's words sound ridiculous at first glance, but after careful consideration, there is nothing that makes no sense, but it can really explain many historical mysteries on Wang Mang, "Could it be that what Dongyang said is the truth?" ”

And if it's really apocryphal, why make it so absurd and affect credibility? Although Yan Fu had never heard the phrase "history is often more bizarre than fiction", he was familiar with history books and had this concept in his heart, and unconsciously he had gradually believed Li Hui's lies

"Wang Mang's lesson made the Mo family act more cautiously, Zhuge Kong Ming's steps were significantly smaller when he ruled Shu, and the effect was much better than Wang Mang's, but unfortunately when he died, he would die soon", Li Hui casually brought in another big celebrity, but at this time Yan Fu was no longer so fussy, but nodded and sighed that he finally understood Kong Ming's strict punishment but benevolent policy and where his ability came from.

"I've finally fooled you!" Seeing Yan Fu's reaction, Li Hui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he then adopted a more abbreviated record, so as not to say too much and show his feet

"The demise of the Shu Han Dynasty made the Mo family hurt again, and the Wei and Jin dynasties' Jiupin Zhongzheng system only focused on the background but ignored the actual talent, even if the Mo person concealed his identity, it was difficult to use, and the development of the Mo family was more difficult, coupled with the continuous war in the Central Plains since the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Mo family entered the darkest period", Li Hui skipped hundreds of years in a few words, and soon talked about the Sui and Tang dynasties, "After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the world finally settled down a little, but the imperial examination system appeared, After the Song Dynasty, it was further refined and matured, and became the main way to elect officials. Since Moxue does not involve the content of the examination at all, and there is even a sharp conflict with it in concept, even if you are reluctant to take the imperial examination, it will never be possible to be admitted to the Jinshi, and the Moxue has no hope of becoming an important minister from then on."

"In such a difficult situation, the Mo family has not completely disappeared, it is entirely because human beings have an innate strong interest in exploring the world, so even if science and technology are denounced as strange and ingenious by scholars, there will still be people who are interested in it. It's just that there are too few people who don't have to worry about food and clothing and can 'not do business' after all, and even fewer of them can accept the Mohist concept and strictly abide by discipline, and the scale of the Mohist family has never exceeded 100 people in the following hundreds of years, thanks to the loss of the hope of becoming a scholar and then turning back to the lower route, and greatly reducing the requirements for the talents of the disciples", Li Hui briefly stated a few words, and finally said the next key point, "Although the situation is difficult, the Mohist family has never given up the hope of becoming a prominent scholar in the world again, Therefore, he has been persevering in the Central Plains, and has never had the idea of avoiding overseas, until Meng Yuan used the counterweight trebuchet invented by Hui scholars to break through Xiangyang City, and the Mo family realized that the original overseas science and technology also have a very high level, so that some people began to travel overseas, and at the same time, the eyes were opened, and the Mo family began to pay attention to the research of navigation technology."

Although the rule of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties was cruel, due to the significant decline in the status of Confucianism and the great importance of science and technology among the Mongols, the road to the emergence of the Mo scholars was opened up again. Under the temptation of the officials, some of the Mo people chose to go out of the Meng Yuan, and the other part insisted on the anti-Mongolian struggle, treating the former as traitors and traitors, and the Mo family was divided again", Li Hui's words made Yan Fu's heart twitch, this Mo family infighting is too ruthless, right?

"After decades of bloody slaughter, the 'Zayi faction' finally won the victory, and the Mo family was once again greatly injured by the brutal infighting in these decades, and once only one Mo man was left (not counting the disciples who did not leave the school), and a large number of techniques were lost, and many classics, including historical records, were also damaged or lost, so I can only talk about this history in generalities. However, such a sacrifice is not meaningless, and it is precisely after this that serving the alien race has become the biggest taboo of the Mo family. Although Yan Fu always believed that the rule of the Manchu government was at least better than the chaos in the world, the national sentiment deeply rooted in his bones still made him subconsciously shout good, but he also immediately had a question, "Then why did you enter the Tianjin Machinery Bureau in the first place, Dongyang?" Later, I accepted Li Hongzhang's employment, and I remember that you still have an official position, right? ”

"I went to the Tianjin Bureau and later served as a staff officer for Lao Li to help deal with Japan, compared to the Manchu Qing, they are more out-and-out aliens, and they have their own civilization, once the Japanese conquer China, the consequences will be more terrible than the original Mengyuan and Manchu Qing." , Li Hui replied with a smile, "What's more, although the Mo family is disciplined, it is not stubborn, as long as there is a good reason, it is also allowed to work for hostile forces temporarily, such as being a spy, or dealing with more important enemies."

But Yan Fu's doubts were not completely eliminated, he immediately remembered the five impressive Haitian-class armored cruisers, and immediately frowned, "With your strength, are you still afraid of the Japanese?" Six Haitian-class cruisers, even the British don't have to be afraid, right? ”

"Because we didn't have a full understanding of our own strength at that time!" Li Hui had been prepared for this, and immediately laughed self-deprecatingly, and replied, "For more than 2,000 years, I have been failing and never succeeded, how can I still maintain enough self-confidence?" ”

Yan Fu nodded when he heard this, but the question was not completely eliminated, "The strength of the army is indeed not easy to judge simply, and there are few of you, but the combat power of the navy can be roughly estimated just by looking at the performance of warships, right?" ”

"The problem is that the construction of the Haitian-level patrol has not started at that time, uh, let's finish the history first, otherwise you may not understand." , Li Hui spread his hands and replied, and by the way, he turned back the obviously crooked topic

"After the civil strife subsided, it took decades for the Mo family to recover a little, but at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the heroes rose together, they chose the wrong object of support", Li Hui's words deliberately highlighted the weakness of the Mo family's lack of understanding of politics, which is not only consistent with the deeds of the Mo family in the pre-Qin period, but also matches the characteristics of those biochemical soldiers who are rational, serious, brave, selfless and proficient in business, in fact, it is precisely because of the latter that he will think of explaining the source of his great strength with the Mo family that mysteriously disappeared in history
