readx;
This is a group, Li You sincerely admires, especially Li You knows very well that he can't be such a mind-setter as the ink master. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Along the way, Li You did not forget to ask Tian Chun for secrets about the Mo family. For a descendant, this group that has been annihilated in the long river of history has too many questions and curiosities.
However, the secret that Li You asked was not a secret to the Mo family. All he asked was how the Mo family had survived for thousands of years.
Tian Chun's answer also made Li You feel a little gloomy. In the eyes of the world, the most prosperous period of the Mo family was the war-torn Warring States, but in fact, the peak of the Mo family's power was the decades when the Qin State dominated the world. Although the Qin State governed the country with Legalist ideology, at the technical level, it relied on the Mohists. Therefore, the influence of the Mo family in the Qin court is also huge. Whether it is the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the Afang Palace, the Great Wall or even the Chidao and other huge projects, the engineers who are in charge of the construction are basically from the Mo family - to be precise, from the branch of Qin and Mo. However, in the Qin Dynasty, in addition to Qin Mo, other branches of the Mo family basically disappeared, and their influence was not great.
With the collapse of the Qin Dynasty, the elite of the Mo family also suffered countless casualties in the tide of the late Qin Dynasty, and fell into a low ebb, and then the first decades of the Han Dynasty implemented the Taoist inaction, to Dong Zhongshu put forward the idea of great unification, the unity of heaven and man, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established a national policy of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", the blow to the Mo family was even more serious, and the situation was getting worse day by day. There is no record of this even in the history books.
However, it is not that the Mo family was inactive during this period, but during this time period, the members of the Mo family were no longer called ink scholars by the world, but were contemptuously called "rangers", and some ruffians, Jiangyang thieves and others were collectively referred to together.
Although it is different from the "way for heaven" preached by the heroes of later generations, it is still rejected by the ruling class, and the living environment is becoming more and more difficult, and finally has to choose to live in seclusion and ignore the world; It's just that the disciples are secretly absorbed, and the torch has been passed down from generation to generation, and the strength has been so weak that it is not like words, not to mention anything else, the Mojia group stipulates that there are 180 ink masters, and only after the official ink people die, will they select qualified ones from among the disciples to fill them. From the Warring States period to the Qin Dynasty, the Mo family was basically full and had countless reserves, but now, all the Mo family, including Tian Chun, only forty-nine qualified Mo people remain.
After understanding the difficulties of the Mo family, Li You looked up to the sky and sighed, the demise of the Mo family has become a foregone conclusion in history, although from later generations, Li You has seen the operation strategy of many organizations, but no matter which strategy, it cannot save the decline of the Mo family. It's not that there is no good solution, it's just that the Mo family has declined precisely because they stick to their beliefs, and they will not and disdain to do it if they want to change their living habits and beliefs in exchange for the continuation of the group.
But Li You thought about it carefully, if the Mo family could survive to his era, could it give him other help? Li You was very hesitant in his heart. Although his goal was to obtain nine Yin Talismans, he had determined after some calculations that if he was only sent back to the nineties of the twentieth century, he would be able to do this with at most three Yin Talismans.
But the collection of each Yin Talisman is extremely difficult, and it is even more difficult in this era than in my own era, mainly because the distance is too far and the carriage and horse are too slow. Ordinary people may not be able to set foot in these areas in their lifetime, but in later generations, there are various convenient means of transportation to get people to where they want to go. So in Li You's plan, after he got the three Yin Talismans, he returned to his era. Find the whereabouts of the rest of the Yin Talismans in that era. The reason why he has such an idea is because Li You occasionally remembered a question that he hadn't thought about recently. His soul has traveled to this period, so what is the situation of his ** in the era to which he belongs?
Li You had speculated based on the literal theories that came to mind that the soul was not active in this era at the same time as in another era, and that a day here or there might only be a second or two that passed. He threw away all unfavorable thoughts and imagined that when his soul returned to **, it should be not long after he fell into the ice river...... It's just that in fact, Li You suppressed the fear in his heart, and what he imagined was that after crossing back, his soul was attached to a rotting corpse or white bones, and after standing up tremblingly, he became a zombie, and he was frightened by such dreams many times in many dark nights......
Soon Li You found that he had lost his mind for a long time. Fortunately, Tian Chun didn't care about this, just when he was digesting what he said. People who have had amnesia, receiving so much information, need to digest it for a while.
Li You took a breath, thought about it, and said after straightening out some of his assumptions: "I didn't expect that the Mo family's survival situation had reached such a difficult point. After a pause, he continued: "This is not the way to go. ”
"yes!" Tian Chun also sighed, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone. As the son of the Mo family, the pressure on the survival of the Mo family is basically on him, but in the past hundreds of years, the Mo family has not worked hard, but they have failed.
The 400-year history of the Han Dynasty is not without turbulent periods, the end of the Western Han Dynasty and even the Eastern Han Dynasty princes rose together, and the Three Kingdoms were established. Since the exclusive respect for Confucianism, other doctrines have been difficult to find the soil for survival, Confucianism and Taoism have gradually become the mainstream, and now Buddhism has begun to show vitality, basically talking about metaphysics and reasoning, and the doctrine that is not beneficial to the people's livelihood and the country is full of the world.
"The Mo family still has a certain space for survival, but some things must be abandoned and transformations need to be transformed." Li You frowned, thinking about every word he was about to say: "Learn from the Gu Clan, the Gu Clan has existed at least since the time of Mu Tianzi, or even earlier, but they have survived to this day and still have great power. Li You said as he observed Tian Chun's reaction.
Although he has a natural affection and trust for the Mo family. But Li You knew very well what he was talking about. Every word he said might be contrary to the core values of the Mo family, and he was very worried that if he said these words, the friendship between each other, mainly Li Bojin and the Mo family, would come to an end.
"Sir teach me." When Tian Chun heard the word Gu Clan, he frowned at first, as if he didn't like it, but he quickly endured it and stared at Li You with clearer eyes.
Li You didn't know that Li Bojin had a great relationship with the Mo family, and even had a very high status in the Mo family. Otherwise, the Mo family would not have stupidly come to Shanyi to wait for Li Bojin to make an appointment because of an agreement thirty years ago.
