"Due to the purpose of Mohist thought, the energy of the Mohists is generally focused on transforming the material world, even if they deal with people, they are mainly to serve the lower class of people, and they have never produced talents who are good at political struggles, and Qin Mo is completely unprepared for the first emperor's turn of face and does not recognize people, except for a very small number of lucky escapes, the rest are all wiped out", Li Hui was still a little nervous at first, but the more he spoke, the more fluent he became, and the purely apocryphal pseudo-history was said by him as if it were true, "Although at the critical moment of life and death, Qin Mo rejoined with the remnants of the other two branches, but it was no longer the same as it had been in its heyday. However, the Qin Emperor unloaded the mill and killed the donkey also paid a heavy price that he did not expect, because the Qin State's grasp of the grassroots level was largely achieved with the help of the vast number of ink people who went down to the bottom, after the eradication of Qin Mo, the Qin State's control over the grassroots was greatly reduced, and the officials lost their supervision and quickly corrupted, making the people miserable, and after the death of Ying Zheng, the traitorous ministers came to power, these problems became more and more intense, and those nobles of the Six Kingdoms took advantage of the situation, and the Qin State perished within a few years,"

"The chaotic times at the end of Qin are a good opportunity for careerists, but for the Mo family that has just completed the integration, it is another catastrophe, because the vitality has not recovered and has been hit hard, the Mo family has almost broken off the inheritance", Yan Fu frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but interrupt Li Hui's talking.

"Didn't you say that the Mo family has a tight organization and is also talented in military affairs? Such an organization should be like a fish in water in troubled times, how can it be so downcast? Yan Fu's question hit the nail on the head, and if Li Hui couldn't give a convincing explanation, he would definitely not believe it.

Fortunately, Li Hui had already prepared for this, and he replied unhurriedly, "This is because the ink master is first of all a scholar or a craftsman, even if he is very talented in military affairs, he rarely has a trick when fighting, and he is better at breaking the enemy head-on with a dignified array." If you have your back to a big country and have enough time to train an invincible strong army in the world, this route can also be invincible, but the problem is that the war at the end of Qin is short and intense, so it is far from being able to quickly pull the pole of the rebel armies from all walks of life, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, there is no chance of victory in the face of hundreds of times thousands of times the enemy. And if you insist on accelerating the expansion, it will only lead to the deterioration of the team, and in the end, the ink maker will be purged by the authorities, and the situation will be worse."

"In the final analysis, there are too few ink people, according to the rules of the Mo family, fresh blood must go through a long period of education and many tests to become an ink person, especially at that time before the invention of paper and printing, the font is still difficult to recognize and memorize the seal characters, the cost of education is frighteningly high, so the training cycle is extremely long. In peacetime, the Moshi had to be chivalrous and take the lead in wartime, and the mortality rate was always high, so once a large number of people were lost, it would take at least a few generations to recover. The formation of the situation of great unification made "stability" overwhelm the "rich country and strong army" as the top priority of the imperial court, and the Mo people who were good at practice but did not understand the struggle of the court were completely abandoned, and there was no hope of becoming an official, and the talents who were willing to become Mo people naturally plummeted, and the harsh laws of private assembly and association regarded as rebellion made it extremely difficult for the Mo family to develop its organization among the lower classes", Li Hui became more and more involved in the play, and he was completely immersed in the history he had fabricated, "and as the old rival Confucianism gradually gained power, The Mohists were even strangled in all respects, hunting down the Mohists, banning the destruction of the classics, and even the traces of existence were erased by the Confucian disciples who had been in charge of the official history books for a long time, and the Mohists were forced to go completely underground."

In order to cope with this predicament, the Mo family team has become more elite, no longer selecting and cultivating disciples according to the standards of ordinary talents, but aiming for outstanding talents who can take charge of themselves, and for this reason they have even turned their focus to those big families, looking for young children with sufficient qualifications, character and requirements to teach secretly, because their identity can obtain enough resources for growth, and at the same time, they are safer than ordinary children. Although the size of the Mo family has shrunk more and more because of this, after the requirements have been raised and the number of people has been limited, first of all, the secrecy has been better, and then the disciples have become more reliable, which is of great significance to the Mo family, which will die at the sight of light. In addition, since they are elites, they can no longer die as easily as the previous ink masters, so the mortality rate of the ink scholars has been greatly reduced, and the chivalrous tradition has been interpreted as 'the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people.' However, the Mo family also lost for a time 'the road was uneven, and drew a sword to help; Go to the soup and go to the fire, and death will not spin. But no matter what, the Mo family still stubbornly continued after all", Li Hui said this, Yan Fu couldn't help but interrupt the conversation

"Where are those elites cultivated by the Mo family?" , Li Hui smiled when he heard this, "In such a harsh environment, who dares to reveal their identity as an ink artist?" Not to mention the identity of the Mohist, as long as the Mohist proposition is promoted, it will immediately become the target of public criticism, even if it is only a small part, even if it is borrowed by other names, even if it has become an emperor"

"Emperor? Dongyang, which one are you talking about? Yan Fu was frightened at this time, and he was even more suspicious that Li Hui was talking nonsense.

Li Hui smiled and threw a bombshell, "Wang Mang, the twenty-seventh generation of the Mohist family, the inventor of vernier calipers and the pioneer of surgical medicine, is strict with himself and selfless, and his policies such as nationalizing land, prohibiting human trafficking, and stabilizing prices are all good governance in line with the Mohists' advocacy." Unfortunately, due to the lack of foundation, the Mo family at that time was unable to provide a sufficient number of middle and lower-level officials to support him, and as a result, the powerful and officials resisted and could not be implemented smoothly. In the end, Wang Mang's reforms were a complete failure, and the Mo family suffered another heavy blow."

In the historical records, Wang Mang's various behaviors and measures that were seriously inconsistent with the traditions of the time, but more like modern people, were jokingly called "traversers" by later generations of netizens, and if carefully analyzed, it was surprisingly consistent with the political ideas of the Mo family
