The big man has a living father

Chapter 168 (Long Chapter) Dong Zhongshu's Enlightenment to Heaven
Changan.

Stock trading hall.

Zheng Antai and Ying Gong met in the stock trading hall.

Zheng Antai was a palace official in the Prince's Palace, and Ying Gong was a disciple of Dong Zhongshu, and was also responsible for teaching the Prince classics.

The two of them were half colleagues, so when they met here, they naturally greeted each other warmly.

Lord Ying smiled and said, "Lord Zheng, are you taking a day off today?"

Zheng Antai laughed and said, "Today is a holiday. I finally have the chance to visit the stock market."

As he was talking, several people came over and said, "Master Zheng!"

Ying Gong: “Huh?”

Zheng Antai enjoys being in the limelight in front of his colleagues, but he also said: "Keep a low profile. There are so many people in the world who understand stocks. I am nothing."

A man who was mostly a businessman spoke with a Luoyang accent: "Hey! Master Zheng, being too low-key is high-profile! Master Zheng has never lost money so far, and he has been soaring all the way. If he is not a master, then what is he?"

The people around him chimed in: "Yes, yes, if this isn't a master, then who can be called a master?"

Zheng Antai stroked his beard, very satisfied, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Hey, I heard from God of Wealth Huo that heroes are everywhere in the world, just like the number of carps crossing the river."

The person next to him whispered: "Master Huo holds wealth because he holds the new policy in his left hand and the powerful in his right hand. With a lot of capital, he can do anything. In the stock market, Master Zheng is the real master!"

Zheng Antai felt doubly satisfied at this moment.

the reason is simple.

Zheng Antai has been unhappy with Huo Hai for a long time.

The cause was that Huo Hai used Zheng Antai as an example to make a proverb, and the sentence "Mr. Zheng married Mrs. He - Zheng He" made Zheng Antai be beaten by his wife.

Zheng Antai was henpecked and had no way to vent his feelings, so he felt a little resentful towards Huo Hai.

Recently, Zheng Antai made his fortune in the stock market with just one secret.

Whatever stocks the Huo family bought, he would do the opposite.

At first, when Shang Fu, the general manager of Huo's Trading Company, was selling a small stock, Zheng Antai became rebellious. "You, the Huo family, are not optimistic about it, so am I? I want to buy it."

As a result, Zheng Antai bought one for fun and it actually made money. Although it fell for one day at the beginning, it continued to rise sharply afterwards.

After that, Zheng Antai became fascinated by this operation.

He sold whatever the agents of Huo's Trading Company bought, and he bought whatever stocks the agents of Huo's Trading Company sold.

As a result, Zheng Antai did this repeatedly and saw huge increases every time!

Zheng Antai discovered that after he did this, the stock price would definitely rise in two or three days at the shortest, or a little over a week at the longest.

"What a bullshit God of Wealth, what a bullshit maker of new business reform rules, they are nothing but trash!"

The reason he was able to take off was purely because he had a lot of capital and no one else could do it to him.

I, Zheng Antai, will go against you in the stock market, and I will win every time!
The character setting of "Huo's Trading Company" being full of good-for-nothings seems easy to break, but Zheng Antai has repeatedly operated and found that the people in Huo's Trading Company are really all good-for-nothings.

How do they always manage to go against the market?

It’s a good thing that it’s the Huo family, which controls half of Chang’an’s wealth. If it were any other family, how could they afford such losses and such nonsense?

However, Zheng Antai did not tell anyone this secret, he just made money from it.

More than half a year had passed, and the money in Zheng Antai's hands had increased countless times!
Moreover, many people have discovered that Zheng Antai will make money every time he makes a delivery, and he will make money if he makes a short-term delivery instead of a long-term holding, so they all follow Zheng Antai, and then a group of people follow Zheng Antai.

So he became a stock recommender.

The only thing that bothered Zheng Antai was that the big men of Huo's Trading Company came to the stock trading center less and less frequently, and they were less likely to do things themselves. He was unable to make more operations to continue to double his wealth.

However, Zheng Antai said to those who invested with him: "Money is something outside of one's body. What's the point of me making so much money? Stock trading is just my hobby, not my job to make a living. I won't indulge in such a side business."

Others could only admire: "Master Zheng is amazing, no wonder he makes so much money, only those who don't take money too seriously will truly gain wealth!"

Zheng Antai was actually extremely anxious: Why haven’t these managers of Huo’s Trading Company been active in the stock market recently?

Aren't you philanthropists? If you don't come out and do it, where can I make money? !

A group of people complimented Zheng Antai to be Master Zheng, of course it was not for anything else but because of money.

They also wanted Zheng Antai to take action and then make some money.

Zheng Antai came here today just to try his luck and see if anyone from Huo's Trading Company would come today.

Seeing that no one was present, Zheng Antai exchanged a few words with Ying Gong and prepared to leave. Isn't the wine and flowers fragrant? It would be a waste of time to stay here...

"Nowadays……"

Just as he was about to withdraw the ticket, Zheng Antai saw people from Huo’s Trading Company coming!

And not just one came, but many!
There are usually many people doing transactions in the stock trading hall of Huo's Company. Zheng Antai has identified the identities of thirty of them at the moment!
And there are four managers from Huo’s Trading Company!
Four!
Even the general manager Shang Fu is here!

Zheng Antai was ecstatic and couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "I kind of want to choose a stock to trade today, but I have to short it and look around to see which stock has good fortune."

The people next to him immediately said: "Master Zheng! We understand!"

"Brothers, disperse and let Master Zheng get inspiration!"

Zheng Antai: "Don't disturb me during the process. I will come here half an hour before the market closes today to tell you how to operate."

After the group of people dispersed, Zheng Antai followed to observe.

Since Shang Fu came in person today, of course he had to talk to Shang Fu secretly.

At this time, Shang Fu was talking to several other managers of Huo's Company: "Today we are not here to practice, nor to practice trading. Today is the official delivery. We have to acquire a large number of shares of Xiongnu Company at the lowest possible price in a short period of time. Do you understand?"

One of the managers whispered, "We are not novices, we won't make any mistakes, let's get started."

Shang Fu nodded: "That's right. In the past six months, I have tried so many methods with you guys in order to write a book. What can be wrong with the most basic operation of increasing the position now?"

More than a year ago, Huo Hai promised to help Mehef publish a book.

Mehef was literally writing books on the science of coal mining and the various kinds of knowledge required to manage a large enterprise like a coal mine.

In fact, the internal structures of large companies are similar. After Mehef wrote this, Shangfu had nothing to write about.

However, Mehef wrote books and became the first person in the new era to leave his name in a book. How could wealthy businessmen not be envious?

So Shang Fu turned his attention to the stock market.

Logically speaking, all kinds of stock and financial operations are prohibited. Huo Hai had already reminded Shang Fu and told him that His Majesty was practicing in the stock market, and asked him not to manipulate the stock market. If he ran into His Majesty's hands, he would be beaten.

Huo's Company has always been investing in the stock market by holding stocks for a long time.

But after coming up with the idea of ​​writing a book, Shang Fu used the resources at hand to conduct experiments.

These experiments are not aimed at making profits, but rather at manipulating the market in various ways to observe the phenomena that arise.

With such a large tool in hand, Shang Fu only needs to press the switches one by one, and then observe and record the phenomena, and it will become the best economics and finance books in the world.

However, Shang Fu did not dare to use the money of Huo Hai and Huo's Company to do this, because wouldn't that make him the "dealer"?
Therefore, Shangfu used his own money to conduct experiments.

However, although Shang Fu does not use Huo Hai's money, the Huo family is here. He uses the Huo family's framework to mobilize the market and use his own money to make money. Isn't this abusing power for personal gain?
Any piece of information that others don't know can make a wealthy businessman extremely wealthy. How can he seek personal gain when he has such information in his hands every day?

You must know that when Shang Fu was serving Huo Hai, he heard Huo Hai personally tell His Majesty that using inside information to make profits in the stock market needs to be cracked down on, as it is an economic crime.

Officials of the Han Dynasty can play with stocks, but they are prohibited from playing with stocks that are related to their own rights and information.

Shang Fu certainly remembered this.

He used to be a middleman, a broker.

Now he has become a professional manager, and the most popular one in Chang'an City.

Working with Huo Hai, the salary is already high enough, and you are respected and have great power. The rich businessmen have no interest in private property, especially since it is an illegal property.

Therefore, Shangfu’s practice has always been to benefit and flatten.

Be determined not to make money that you shouldn’t make in the stock market, and throw away all the extra money you earn from experiments.

Therefore, Shangfu would always divide the money among several managers and let them come to the stock trading center to spend the money.

These guys are old hands at fishing.

Let them scatter money, and they do it just like scattering bait, often causing a stir in the fish pond.

After many people discovered that they often lost money in the pool, they lamented, "It seems that Huo's company is so big, but it can't even play the stock market?"

In fact, apart from buying stocks themselves and handling stock information related to the Huo family, they all came to help Shang Fu spend money.

I don’t know why Zheng Antai is so lucky. He has never kept up with their own operations, nor has he kept up with Shangfu’s operations to make money. Every time they come to spend money, Zheng Antai happens to see it.

So, Zheng Antai, the survivor, thought he had found the code to wealth.

Zheng Antai is not the only one in this market. There are also other people who want to make money by relying on inside information, and some are eyeing Shangfu.

After they found out that Shangfu himself made profits and losses, they lost interest in following him.

When Shang Fu does experiments, some of them are used by traders for remote control, so that they will not attract other people's attention when they operate themselves, so they are all simple operations, mainly to verify preliminary guesses. Most of the time, these guesses are just random thoughts, and of course they will not show any impressive performance, so they look like ordinary people.

The Huo family itself relies on capital and time to obtain stable returns in the stock market.

So after everyone found out that the Huo family didn't make that much money, no one wanted to do business with Shang Fu and his team anymore.

In other words, Zheng Antai is lucky and he encounters counterexamples every time.

At this time, Zheng Antai strolled around and found Shang Futai was signing an order to acquire the shares of Xiongnu Company, and he wrote it down.

After a while, Zheng Antai discovered that another manager of the Huo company was also buying shares of the Xiongnu Company and listing shares of the coal mine for sale.

Zheng Antai no longer hesitated and directly sold the Xiongnu Company stocks that he had accumulated with great difficulty when he made his fortune, and at the same time began to purchase coal mine stocks!
After completing the transaction, Zheng Antai was greeted by several admirers.

After seeing Zheng Antai perform these two operations, the group of people were a little hesitant.

Normally, Zheng Antai makes money from small stocks and rarely deals in large stocks.

This time it involves Xiongnu Company and Tongguan Coal Mine, and the nature is different.

Zheng Antai hadn't traded stocks for a long time. After investing this time, he felt refreshed. This feeling of being in touch with gods made Zheng Antai feel that his operations had replicated the previous glory.

Zheng Antai also explained proudly: "The stock of Xiongnu Company is certainly worth holding for a long time. Everyone knows that it will rise in the future."

“However, we who are engaged in short-term delivery do not look at long-term growth trends, but short-term fluctuations.”

"It is because the stock price of Xiongnu Company is stable that it is easy to settle and get the money to buy stocks!"

The person next to him was a little hesitant: "But... selling the shares of Xiongnu Company... Xiongnu Company's shares have been rising in price. If you sell them now, you won't be able to buy them back at this price in the future."

Zheng Antai shook his finger: "In one week, I can earn 30%. If I buy back the shares of Xiongnu Company a week later, won't I get more back?"

A fan next to him also looked at the man with doubts: "Those who admire Master Zheng, please follow him. Those who question Master Zheng, please shut up!"

"Short-term delivery is about high risk and high return. How can it be confused with long-term holding? Besides, when has Master Zheng ever missed a chance?"

A group of people immediately decided to take action.

Mr. Ying was not familiar with the stock market. He heard that his apprentices were all investing in stocks, so he came to watch and have fun.

After discovering that his colleague Zheng Antai was very capable, he just watched from the sidelines.

Now, Lord Ying is confused: "Master Zheng, what is the basis for your operation?"

Zheng Antai turned around and was also confused: "Basis?"

Ying Gong: "I mean, what is the reason for you to do this."

"Everything has a reason, and any phenomenon has a reason to support it. Since you have chosen to do this and think that you can make money by doing this, then what is the reason?"

Duke Ying had followed Dong Zhongshu for a long time and had already learned his principles.

Zheng Antai waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ying, to be honest, I can't tell this to anyone else, but I can tell it to you."

Who is Ying Gong? A descendant of the Qin Dynasty royal family!
To this world, Ying Gong is a super illegal person.

Lord Ying cannot be an official and cannot have a political status. Now that the role of the economy is booming, Lord Ying cannot become a wealthy businessman.

And except for those who were engaged in academics, his teacher Dong Zhongshu, and his disciples, everyone else stayed away from Ying Gong.

It's not about keeping a respectful distance, it's about staying away from them directly.

Zheng Antai knew very well that if he told Ying Gong his secret, Ying Gong would not use it to make money, nor would it affect his stock market operations or his ability to stir up trouble.

The only catch is: “After I tell you, you can’t tell anyone.”

Lord Ying hesitated: "Well...if His Majesty or the Crown Prince asks, how can I dare to hide it?"

Zheng Antai: Your Majesty and the Crown Prince would never be interested in these trivial things.
"What I mean is that you can't tell others that I discovered this, and you can't let others use this method to make money. As for powerful people asking, of course you can tell them, but you have to be careful with your words so as not to offend them."

Mr. Ying nodded, still thinking: Why would this truth offend people?
Zheng Antai whispered: "I found that when I came to the stock trading center, if the managers and general managers of Huo's Company were also there, then every time they operated, they would be the opposite indicator. As long as I followed their opposite operation, I would definitely make money."

After saying this, Zheng Antai was very proud.

But Mr. Ying was confused.

What kind of truth is this?
This is a phenomenon.

But what is the reason for this phenomenon?

Why do the managers and general managers of Huo's Company lose money every time Zheng Antai comes to the stock trading center? What's going on?

Ying Gong: “Ah?”

"You mean, if you don't come to the stock trading center, their managers won't lose money when they operate the stocks? Or even make money?"

Zheng Antai whispered: "It's not necessarily that there will be no loss, nor that there will be a profit, but there are many situations, but as long as I come and meet them, they will definitely lose money, and I will do the opposite, so I will definitely make money!"

“It’s God’s will.”

Zheng Antai was excited: "Confucianism is so profound, so profound!"

Mr. Ying was silent.

God willing?

Isn't this something the teacher made up to fool people?

This system is not real. It is made up to make people believe it, not the truth...

Back at the Prince's Palace, Dong Zhongshu was working with a young man to put iron sheets on the roof tiles of the palace.

This young man was Fadi.

Dong Zhongshu and Fadi have been studying static electricity and lightning in the past year and finally discovered the secret of the lightning rod. They are now arranging lightning rods in the Prince's Palace.

As for why lightning has this characteristic, Dong Zhongshu and Fati are still studying it. Seeing that Dong Zhongshu was taking a break, Ying Gong told Dong Zhongshu what had just happened in the stock trading center.

After hearing this, Dong Zhongshu said directly: "Impossible, what is God's will? There is no reason for this. He is just lucky as a dog."

Ying Gong: "Teacher, is it possible that there was an accident?"

Fadi, who was standing next to him, took a sip of water and said, "People often say that being struck by lightning is an accident, but after our research, we found that being struck by lightning when it rains under a tree is inevitable. It's just a matter of when it happens that it's an accident."

"It's like wearing a sweater in winter, taking it off before going to bed, or rubbing the sweater and then touching metal, there will definitely be static electricity, and this is not an accident."

"People who don't know this will be surprised when they get electrocuted."

Dong Zhongshu nodded: "This Zheng Zhonglang is just lucky. He encountered a low-probability event, but he thought it was fate, justice, and destiny. How could destiny care about a small person like him?"

"What he encountered was an accident, and if he continues to invest in this way, it will inevitably... explode. There will be no accidents."

Dong Zhongshu didn't know how to describe Zheng Zhonglang's situation, and finally chose the word "explosion".

It's like a lightning rod will definitely be struck by lightning, but you just don't know which rainy night it will be.

Dong Zhongshu has experimented with many things, and all of them have proven that truth is truth, and destiny does not exist.

Dong Zhongshu also developed a thought experiment.

Dong Zhongshu assumed that if destiny exists, then what kind of destiny a person has is also a fixed number. So there will definitely be a person who drops a book, and the book will not fall to the ground but fly into the sky.

This is destiny.

So... Dong Zhongshu experimented with everyone in the Prince's Palace, but couldn't find this person.

I looked through all the ancient books at home, but there is no such record.

There is no one who can make books fly in the sky. Even the wooden birds made by Lu Ban and Mo Zi fell to the ground after flying for two days and three days respectively.

Even Lu Ban and Mo Zi did not have this destiny, which proves that destiny does not exist.

To be precise, this thought experiment is not a thought experiment that completely meets your standards.

It’s like, in order to study whether time travel exists, Hawking wrote a letter to a person in the future, inviting that person to visit his home one day.

In the end, there are no people from the future, which proves that in the future, no one from the future has the ability to time travel.

But in fact, it is also possible that people in the future know what kind of person Hawking is, so they don’t want to visit his house, and it has nothing to do with time travel at all?

The same is true of Dong Zhongshu's thought experiment.

Maybe, destiny is that 'Dong Zhongshu can't see a person who can make a book fly', so Dong Zhongshu couldn't find it?
But Dong Zhongshu would not fall into the idealist trap of continuing to prove to himself that "if I can't see it, it doesn't exist", so he designed another thought experiment.

"If it is my destiny not to see a person who can make a book fly, then shouldn't someone else be able to see that among the people I have investigated, there is someone who can make a book fly?"

This Russian doll experiment directly fills the gap.

If there is really someone who can make books fly, and possesses an ability that transcends reason and is different from others, I, Dong Zhongshu, will never see this person's performance.

Since this person couldn't complete the performance when I contacted him, but he could do it openly, then if anyone among the people I experimented with has this ability, then someone around me should have seen it.

But, no one told me this proactively, and no one expressed this after I asked.

That means it doesn't exist.

Although there is another layer to this logic chain, that is, "It is destined that Dong Zhongshu will not see someone who can make a book take off, and it is also destined that someone around Dong Zhongshu can make a book take off, but Dong Zhongshu will never know this news."

Dong Zhongshu was very sure of one thing.

If there really is a great being in the world who controls everything in the world and arranges the fate of everything.

It is unlikely that this great being would have nothing better to do and deliberately design two destinies for me, Dong Zhongshu, at that.

Do I deserve it?
Use the greatness of destiny to prove that heaven does not exist.

This is Dong Zhongshu's thought process.

Of course, this 'someone can make a book take off' can actually be replaced by any mysterious phenomenon.

For example, encountering ghosts, encountering gods, encountering ox-headed and horse-faced monsters, or encountering any form of supernatural creatures unknown to humans.

However, Dong Zhongshu never met any of them.

Dong Zhongshu recalled the reason why he designed the theory of "Harmony between Heaven and Man".

From the very beginning, Dong Zhongshu designed this for his political ideals, to be respected by future generations, and to leave a long-term meal ticket for future Confucian scholars and become a patriarch.

The reason why it was designed as "The Harmony between Heaven and Man" was because Dong Zhongshu himself read a lot of books and was afraid of all kinds of supernatural things recorded in them.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, death has been the thing that humans fear the most. Although no one had proposed the idea of ​​the underworld before Huo Hai wrote "Journey to the West", the idea that people become ghosts after death had long become the mainstream of mystical thought in the Warring States Period.

Therefore, Dong Zhongshu was also afraid.

Dong Zhongshu was frightened when he saw all these things, and he was sure that others were also frightened.

Therefore, he designed the source of the emperor's power, his sacredness, to be connected with heaven.

Now, Dong Zhongshu did not begin to deny the legitimacy of the emperor's rights.

Instead, he was certain that since destiny did not exist, there was no mystery at all about the "communication between heaven and man", and it was simply a tool for him to realize his ambitions!

After thinking about this.

Dong Zhongshu understood.

Dong Zhongshu realized the truth.

Dong Zhongshu longed to understand the way of heaven!
He wanted to find out more clearly.

If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!
Dong Zhongshu wanted to understand the world, and the first thing Dong Zhongshu wanted to understand was heaven and earth.

I, Dong Zhongshu, have talked about heaven all my life. If I die without knowing what heaven is, then what is the difference between me and other ordinary people?
So Dong Zhongshu began to study.

At the beginning, Dong Zhongshu found the astronomer Wang Shuo to study astronomy.

From Wang Shuo, Dong Zhongshu learned that Luoyang Hong proposed the theory of Hun Tian.

After learning the specific theory of Hun Tian Theory, Dong Zhongshu was stunned.

Is the earth beneath our feet the same as the stars in the sky?

To be precise, the stars in the sky should be big stars that shine like the sun or small stars that reflect light like the moon.

The sun, moon and earth are all spheres, rotating in circles on a plane.

The universe is like an egg and the earth is the yolk, but the eggshell of this egg is much larger than that of an ordinary egg.

When Dong Zhongshu learned about the cutting-edge theories in astronomy, he did not believe them.

However, Luoyang Hong had already made an astronomical telescope.

Dong Zhongshu saw the craters on the moon.

Even under Wang Shuo's guidance, I managed to see the morning star and Mars. I saw the morning star in the telescope when there shouldn't be any morning star.

By the way, I learned a new optical theory.

When a small light source and a large light source are close to or overlap, the light from the small light source becomes invisible to humans.

Then I understood why there is only the sun but no stars during the day.

Dong Zhongshu studied astronomy and geography. He was also a scholar who liked to study books. He wanted to see if there were any relevant records in ancient books to see if they could inspire his thinking.

But I didn’t find it.

So Dong Zhongshu began to visit the scholars, intellectuals and cultural figures in Chang'an City.

For example, Han Ying, the founder of Han style poetry.

After Huo Hai and Sima Xiangru created the rules of quatrain and regulated verse, the Han style also became popular and was integrated with folk songs.

After visiting Han Ying and gaining a lot from it, Dong Zhongshu then visited Sima Xiangru.

Here, Dong Zhongshu asked Sima Xiangru all about Qu Yuan.

After all, Qu Yuan had asked the heaven a long time ago, and we are also asking the heaven, so we should look at Qu Yuan.

On this day, when discussing Li Sao, Sima Xiangru discovered that on this hot day, Sima Xiangru's students were walking around in sweaters.

When Dong Zhongshu saw this phenomenon, he was very curious about the reason behind it.

"Hey, are you stupid?"

Fadi: “You are stupid.”

Dong Zhongshu: "My name is Dong Zhongshu."

Fadi: "You are stupid even if your name is Dong Zhongshu... Master Dong, I am here to show my respect!!!"

Dong Zhongshu thought that the first person could still understand the basic rules of human society, so he began to ask: "Why are you wearing a sweater on such a hot day?"

Fati: "I control thunder and lightning!"

Dong Zhongshu was shocked!

Is my thought experiment going to fail? Is there really destiny in the world, a heaven with thoughts? !
Fati touched Dong Zhongshu.

Dong Zhongshu jumped up due to the static electricity: "Hiss~"

"Good boy, you are making fun of me, right?"

Fadi: “Not electrocuted?”

Dong Zhongshu calmed down, and finally admitted: "I was stabbed."

Fardi: “That’s electricity.”

"After wearing a sweater, it is easy to see the lightning when taking off the clothes in a dark environment in winter."

Dong Zhongshu: "I know that after the sweater became popular, everyone called it lightning because it was a bit like lightning in the sky, but it is not the same thing."

Fati: “Really?”

So, on a hot day, Dong Zhongshu walked back and forth in his sweater. Finally, when he touched the copper lamp, he saw lightning when he was still half a centimeter away from it.

The two people began to study how to generate electricity more easily and how to release electricity.

The result was a series of new discoveries.

When you are charged, it is easy to discharge the electricity through air by touching metal.

Once the discharge occurs across the air, you will feel the electricity more strongly in your body.

If you hit a brick wall, you can feel the electric sensation, but it's very small.

If it is wood, it will not be electrocuted.

in the case of……

The two made two assumptions.

Either metal attracts electricity more, while wood rejects it, or electricity flows more easily through metal than through wood.

But when observing lightning, there is definitely something wrong with this assumption.

Because lightning and thunder often strike through big trees!

The two of them made another assumption, perhaps the situation was more like rushing.

A carriage will naturally move very fast when passing through an empty road, and very slow when passing through a populated road.

But what determines electricity is not its speed, but the distance it can cross.

However, lightning does not travel in a straight line. After all, the thunder in the sky is often crooked and forked.

Soon, the two had a whole new theory.

Electricity will choose the path of least resistance!

To prove this, the duo needed a bigger experiment that went beyond sweaters.

So the two of them found Zhang Li.

Although Zhang Li had made great contributions and was about to be named Heavenly Master, he was still honest when facing Dong Zhongshu and quickly revealed the places where many lightning-struck trees were produced.

Dong Zhongshu and Fadi arrived at a place near Yuzhang County where lightning strikes were frequent. While waiting for rain, they installed railroad tracks on a large tree.

If the theory is correct, then even if the lightning strikes the iron, the tree will not be affected, even if the rails are connected to the tree trunk with nails and screws.

Because electricity takes the path of least resistance!
When the thunder struck, the bright flames flowed away from the tree, but the tree was fine afterwards. This scene was repeated over and over again.

Dong Zhongshu and Fadi took the first step in studying electricity.

The two spent half a year completing the experiment, accumulating experience, and then returned to Chang'an.

The two continued their research.

After mastering Thunder, Dong Zhongshu was completely certain of his new theory.

The way of heaven is lifeless; it is just a series of principles.

If people explore these principles, they can understand them one by one.

If you can even refuse such retribution as being struck by lightning, then what is there to be afraid of?
Dong Zhongshu picked up his pen and said, "Then I will start making up stories... creating scriptures."

Regardless of the changes, Dong Zhongshu would still ask, when he encountered anything, what is the reason for this phenomenon?
At this moment, Zheng Antai obviously misunderstood the phenomenon and the truth.

After waiting for a day, Zheng Antai discovered that the people from Huo's Trading Company were still operating and continued to sell coal mine shares to purchase shares of Xiongnu Company!

This time, Zheng Antai sold half of his shares in Xiongnu Company without hesitation and used all of it to buy coal mine shares.

This time, someone followed suit.

Because...the price of coal in the market is falling. If you buy at this time, you can make more money.

On the third day, Zheng Antai was really worried about spending so much money, so he took another day off after his holiday.

"Again?"

The Huo Company is also selling shares in coal mines and acquiring shares in the Xiongnu Company.

"I have seen so many acquisitions, so how much have those traders who hide their identities acquired in private?!!"

But Zheng Antai was relieved: "Huo Hai's idiom book says 'It is hard to defy fate'. I will make a lot of money this time! Huo Hai will lose everything!"

"Sell all the shares of Xiongnu Company and buy all the coal mine shares!"

(End of this chapter)
