Da Wei Chun

Chapter 319

Divine Wisdom!

This sentence has been widely circulated, even Liu Fang and Cui Guang have heard it, and the emperor has naturally heard it too.

Li Chengzhi expected that the emperor might be curious, but he didn't expect Yuan Ke to ask so formally?
The screen retreated to the left and right, and the expression and tone were still so serious... Is this clearly serious?
No matter how ignorant Li Chengzhi is, he is clear: "Should live forever, be ordered by heaven", "Follow the heavens, and accept the order", "Haotian has an order, and the emperor accepts it", "Follow the sky and carry the emperor"...etc. What does it mean.

God-given, it can only be the emperor...

If I were Yuan Ke, no matter what kind of all-rounder or genius you are, no matter how many achievements you have made, even if you have a hundred heads, it is definitely not enough to chop off...

"Your Majesty, this is a rumor!"

Li Chengzhi's tone was so unsteady, it was like swearing.The sound is like a bronze bell, and Yuan Ke's eardrums itch when it shakes.

Seeing that his face had changed, Yuan Ke laughed immediately, "What are you afraid of, it's just a rumor, can I kill my subjects?

You can ask again, there are nearly a thousand Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the capital, and which one doesn't keep saying: "Nian can pass through the gods" and "Dharma is given by heaven". If I take it seriously, how many of them can survive? "

Of course those monks and priests are lying, but the problem is, I really...

"Don't be afraid!" Yuan Ke said with a smile, "I'm just curious, why do you know so much, and why are you better than ordinary people in everything?"

"Your Majesty, I am just curious and like to delve into novel things, so it seems that I know more than ordinary people..."

Li Chengzhi was sweating, "It's also because I have nothing to do in the past few years, and I want to change when I am poor, so I read a few more books..."

Do nothing, if you are poor, you want to change, or how many years?
Yuan Ke looked at him with a half-smile.

If you haven't heard the rumors, you don't know what these words mean.

There is a saying in Jingzhou: Li Chengzhi is not really stupid, but pretending to be stupid, and he pretended to be five years.

Whether he is pretending to be stupid or really stupid, Li Chengzhi can neither enter school nor leave the village, and has no worries about food and clothing. When he is extremely poor and bored, he can only pass the time by reading...

It can be said, but Yuan Ke is more curious.

What kind of books have you read that can make Li Chengzhi escape to this extent?
It feels like there is nothing in this world that he can't do...

Yuan Kesha said with interest: "Tell me, what books did you study for forging knives, armor, hundreds of crafts, living people, healing wounds, military formations, etc.?"

Realizing that Yuan Ke was really going to snap him, Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

If you ask this question, he is really not afraid, otherwise how would he dare to make so many inventions?
"Let's talk about smelting armor and forging knives first: first, I was lucky enough to obtain meteorite iron, and then I was inspired by the "Materia Medica" compiled by Tao Hongjing in the Southern Dynasty, so I forged a white sword and a white armor..."

"Learn "Materia Medica", learn to forge a knife?" Yuan Ke thought he heard it wrong.

Li Chengzhi, on the other hand, had a stern look on his face: "It's absolutely true. It is recorded in the "Materia Medica Jade Department", which says: Tiejing (steel) is made of miscellaneous refining (pig iron) (pig iron) (wrought iron). It is hard and can be used for knives Sickle... And this book and this method were not created by Tao Hongjing, they were written by predecessors..."

Yuan Ke was a little confused.

What Li Chengzhi said is so firm, and "Materia Medica" is also an ordinary book, one can know it after one test, and there must be something to it.

He just couldn't figure out how the two were connected?How much free time did Li Chengzhi have to learn how to make iron essence from a medicine book?

"Let me find a copy of Materia Medica!"

Shouting to Liu Teng outside the pavilion, Yuan Ke asked very seriously, "If you use this method, can you make good armor and steel knives?"

It's no wonder that Yuan Ke is so caring: one point for the strength of the armor and one point for the sharpness of the knife can reduce the casualties of soldiers by one point and increase the chance of winning by one point.

"Of course it can!"

Li Chengzhi thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "And the folks have already used it... I just don't know why the Ministry of Finance didn't try this method..."

Yuan Ke exclaimed: "How is it possible?"

How is it impossible?

This is actually the steel filling method, which is probably a technology that existed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has been used by the people for a long time.Even the blacksmiths of the Li family used this method to make plow points and hoe blades: the embryo was made of wrought iron, and the blade and point were plated with pig iron.

These smelted agricultural tools have both toughness and hardness.

Not to mention the Southern and Northern Dynasties, after the founding of New China, the famous Wang Mazi scissors still used this method to make kitchen knives and scissors, until the most advanced steel refining technology was introduced in China after the 80s.

As for why the Ministry of Finance does not know that there is such a technology among the people?
Ha ha ha... I have to ask the imperial court first.

Aristocratic families aside, even civilians are divided into ranks, artisans, thieves, and prostitutes are the same as untouchables. Normally, officials will feel insulted if they say a word to such people, even if they research something that benefits the country and the people. Who is willing to take a look at the good technology and good things?
Frozen three feet is not a day's cold. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was suppressed and beaten by the great powers. Most of the reasons were caused by the Manchu imperial family, and a small part of the reason was the dislike of science and engineering in the past dynasties...

I don't know if he is complaining about the inaction of the Ministry of Finance and local officials, Yuan Ke's face is a little ugly.After a while of silence, he asked again: "What about the rest?"

"The art of war and battle formation is a minister who likes to study spells, and then studying military books will naturally get twice the result with half the effort... For wound medicine, I read medical books such as "Golden Chamber Prescription", "Behind the Elbow" and "Materia Medica". There is nothing surprising about it. It's just that the minister is willing to use the good medicine because he is willing to spend money..."

Yuan Ke nodded frequently, thinking that what Li Chengzhi said was true, and the so-called formation method relied on nothing more than mathematics.In addition, the money spent by Li Chengzhi's house, whether it is armor, food or clothing, is not discounted at all.Soldiers not only have tents for lodging, but also medicine for injuries, and even wine to warm them up when it's cold?

How can the morale not be high when the soldiers are treated like this?Naturally, he achieved his invincible reputation...

But this method is not easy to promote, otherwise the court may go bankrupt before the soldiers are trained.

Yuan Ke pondered, and asked again: "What about the art of living the dead?"

When have I ever revived a dead person... Well, the emperor was talking about Hu Baozong, right?

"Your Majesty clearly learned that the art of reviving the dead is pure nonsense. So far, I have revived the case of Hu Baozong by mistake..."

Li Chengzhi's face was full of eccentricity, "The medical skills used are the methods used by ministers and herdsmen to save and treat livestock..."

Yuan Ke's jaw almost fell to the ground in shock.

"Your Majesty, how dare the former ministers speak falsely?" Li Chengzhi said while gesticulating, "It happens that rams and bulls injure the same kind from time to time, and the herdsmen first fill their stomachs and then sew their skins with needles and threads... Therefore, it is not the minister's medical skills. High, but Hu Baozong's life is big..."

Xianbei people have only been Sinicized for a few years, and Yuan Ke is not the emperor who "why not eat minced meat" like the emperor at the end of Jin Dynasty. Why does Li Chengzhi need to explain it so clearly?
This is really the method used by herdsmen...

The problem is, whoever is so bold as to use the method of treating animals to rule people?
