Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

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

Of course, this is 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 perfect teacher! With the addition of Mo Huai, his future workload at Yanhuang Academy will be greatly reduced~!

After Li Zexuan said, both Mo Zhong and Mo Yun's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of hope on their faces. They said that they sounded better as the core disciples of the Mo family, but they did the same job as a farmer. They also need to do farming. Otherwise, what do they eat? What to drink? Only during the slack in the farming will they return to the Mohist school and receive organizational training or other arrangements.

They are all capable, but because of the identity of the Mohist, they must stay in a desolate place and engage in hard work. It didn't matter if they continued like this, but they came here with Mo Huai for the appointment and saw the city of Chang'an. After the prosperity, their hearts were shaken~!

The suffering of the Mohist is something that disciples of other schools can't realize, but now Li Zexuan's words make them start to think about things, why can't they rely on their own ability to let their family live a good life~?

However, even though they thought so in their hearts, they would not easily say it. The organization discipline has been deeply engraved in their hearts through the years of the Mohist career~!

Mo Huai frowned, he straightened up and stared at Li Zexuan seriously:

"Lord Li’s kindness, the old man took it with my heart~! But as an ink person, you must wear fur as your clothes, and you must wear fur as your clothes, and you must wear it all day and night, and take self-sufferment as the ultimate~! What's the point of blindly coveting human enjoyment~ Eligible to become a Mohist~? The old man promised you to become a teacher at Yanhuang Academy, which violated my Mohist law. I will no longer be qualified to lead the world Mohist and carry forward Mohism~! Therefore, the old man must resign as a giant~! As for the other ink artists, I advise Lord Jue not to waste your efforts~!"

After Mo Huai said, the faces of the two young men, Mo Zhong and Mo Yun, showed seven points of shame and three points of regret in an instant. They lowered their heads and said nothing.

Li Gang frowned and said, "Brother Mo, you're confused~! The Mo family has grown from hundreds of thousands of people in the pre-Qin heyday to less than a hundred disciples today. You didn’t think about the reason for this~? Do you think the decline of the Mo family was just Is it caused by the suppression of the emperors of various dynasties~?"

Mo Huai was a little uncomfortable: "Isn't it~? If it wasn't for Emperor Wu to ban the hundred schools and dominate Confucianism, why did my Mo school end up like this?"

When Li Gang heard the words, he said with great pain: "Absurd~! I didn't expect that you have not seen the real reason for the decline and fall of the Mo family~! Not to mention, the old man will wake you up~! The authorities are fans, the bystanders are clear, although the old man has learned It's Confucianism, but today, the old man doesn't help Confucianism or Mohism. The old man will analyze it with you as an outsider~!

You said that your Confucianism declined because of the suppression of the emperors of various dynasties. But since Emperor Wu ousted hundreds of schools and dominated Confucianism, why did the Mo School, which is also known as the most prominent school of Confucianism, decline rapidly, while the Taoism and the Law can Surviving in the cracks of Confucianism so far~? Have you ever thought about the root cause of this~? "

Li Gang’s remarks directly revealed the root cause of the decline of the Mo family. Mo Huai couldn’t help but suffocated, and his face paled for a while, but Li Zexuan listened carefully to these old things. Obviously Li Gang knew better than him. This opportunity to learn is also good.

Li Gang didn’t wait for Mo Huai’s answer, and continued: “In the eyes of the old man, the reason why the Mo family has fallen into this situation is because your Mo family’s requirements for the children of the family are too demanding~! Not tired of being fine", but you ink artists can only "dress in fur, wear stumbling as clothes, day and night, and take self-suffering as the ultimate"?

Perhaps at this time because you have your beliefs, but who says that people with beliefs cannot rely on their own hands to live a good life with plenty of food and clothing~? Could it be that living in dire straits and hot waters every day can make you ink artists superior to the world~? "

I have to say that Li Gang's remarks pointed to the point, and Li Zexuan couldn't help but clap his hands~! It makes sense~!

Among the hundred schools of pre-Qin scholars, the four schools that have the greatest influence are naturally Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Law. But after the Qin and Han dynasties, their fate began to diverge: Confucianism became the orthodox and mainstream of Chinese culture; Legalists, because of their special nature, dominated the temple politics of the authoritarian court for two thousand years; Taoists accepted believers and occupied Civil society has become the spiritual home of Youren hermit.

Only the Mohist school, after a glorious moment, whether as a doctrine or as an organization, disappeared and disappeared in the long river of history.

Why did the Mo Family end up so sad? Is the Mohist's thoughts not clever enough? Certainly not, the Mohist ideological system is full of great humanitarianism and scientific spirit~www.ltnovel.com~ Even from the perspective of modern people in the 21st century, it is still so brilliant.

Apart from the external cause of "removing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism," there is an inherent reason for the demise of the Mohist school: if a person wants to become a faithful believer of the Mohist school, he must have a strong spirit of sacrifice and dedication, and he must have fraternity for everyone. Heart, and can't talk about personal feelings.

Therefore, "Zhuangzi·Tianxia" criticized Mohist school: "He is also diligent in life, and his death is thin, and his way is great; it makes people worry, makes people sad, and it is difficult to act. I am afraid that he cannot be the way of a saint and oppose the world. His heart is unbearable in the world. Although Mozi can do his job alone, how can he be in the world! Leaving the world, he is far from the king!"

In contrast, being a Taoist disciple is much happier. The goal of Taoism is to become immortals. This is a beautiful wish that can attract a large number of believers. And for Taoism, especially the long history of Zhengyi, there are not too many regulations on abstinence, and Fangzhongshu is even a kind of fairy family secret technique.

As a religion from the world, although Buddhism requires abstinence, monks can enjoy spiritual satisfaction while abstinence, and thus regard all suffering as a boat to the other side of happiness. Because of this "chicken soup for the soul", devout Buddhist disciples can ignore the physical hardship and pursue the metaphysical joy of Zen.

But the Mohist thoughts of universal love, non-attack, valorism, loyalty, non-fate, non-music, festival, and burial... these thoughts are not enough to become the foundation of Mohist disciples' soul belief. And if it is not based on a firm belief, the life of bitter asceticism will not attract fresh blood to join the Mohist school, and the number of Mohists in the world will only decrease~!

This is the inner reason for the decline of the Mohist school~!
