Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Even if you can just look at him one more time, it would be good.

......

"Flowers bloom and fall in due time, and meeting and gathering are not intentional."

Su Xuan naturally noticed Jingwei's departure. He sighed softly and looked a little melancholy.

He has a straightforward personality and quickly calmed down.

A short separation is for a better meeting next time.

At that time, Jingwei had probably already been influenced by Wuming.

No, he shook his head.

Regardless of whether Jingwei is influenced by Wuming or not, the next time they meet, he will not let Jingwei leave his side.

For some reason, he now wants to kill Lu Buwei more and more.

Compared with the prosperity of Daliang in Wei State, Han State was much more depressed and desolate, especially at the junction of the border between the two countries, where there were broken walls and ruins everywhere and it was a desolate scene.

In towns, most people wore coarse linen clothes that were patched together, and they looked pale and thin, with an appearance of malnutrition.

Compared to Su Xuan's gorgeous clothes, they looked much more shabby.

Su Xuan was not surprised. He knew clearly that in troubled times, this was the normal life of the lower-class people.

South Korea is a country surrounded by enemies and wars happen all year round. It is a blessing to be alive.

At least they still have a home and can make ends meet.

The Baiyue refugees in the original novel were truly miserable. They fled all the way from Baiyue to Korea. It was Han Fei who gave them a place to survive, otherwise they would have continued to wander and live like zombies.

What is even more tragic is that when they had a glimmer of hope for life, their former crown prince of Baiyue slaughtered them all.

In his previous life, he didn't like Tianze.

When dealing with the weak and his own people, he strikes hard, but when dealing with the enemy, he is timid and always fails miserably.

He stopped and walked along the way, and when he met people who were really hungry, he would give them some food to fill their stomachs, but it was not much, and it was not valuable.

Because if you give them too much, they won't be able to keep it, and it may even harm them.

A gentleman, when he is successful, will help the world; when he is poor, he will improve himself.

When you have the ability and spare time, helping others is also a happy thing.

Most of the time, no matter what people do, they will seek the same return.

For example, if I am nice to you, I hope you will be nice to me too.

But Su Xuan doesn't think so. I am good to you and help you just because I want to help you.

If you seek rewards from the very beginning, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of helping others?

"Thank you, big brother." A young child took the food from Su Xuan's hand and expressed his gratitude.

Su Xuan smiled and rubbed the child's messy hair.

You can see that he is very happy.

He did not stay too long, because he knew that what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg of this chaotic world, and the cruelty in it was far greater than what he saw.

He was not discouraged by this, but instead was full of fighting spirit. Isn't this one of the reasons why he wanted to change the world?

He does not claim to be a saint, but he also knows the principle of doing one's job well.

If you are in a high position in the future and have the power and ability to make the world a better place without harming your own interests, why not?

In the next three days, he traveled all the way to Xinzheng, passing through Fushu and Yangdi.

Compared to the desolate and sparsely populated border areas, the closer to Xinzheng, the more developed the economy. He could already gradually see some merchants dressed in silk and brocade, and the streets were beginning to have a bit of a lively atmosphere.

Ding Dong!

As Su Xuan walked on the street, he could hear the sound of iron forging from time to time. The smelting industry here was very developed, and a blacksmith shop could be seen every few dozen meters.

The Kingdom of Korea during this period was known as Jinhan, and had the largest copper and iron production base during the Warring States Period. Its powerful crossbows and sharp swords were the most famous.

The powerful crossbows of South Korea have a range of up to 800 meters, "they can pierce the chest of those far away and pierce the heart of those close by". The swords they forge are also extremely sharp, they can "cut cattle and horses on land and intercept swans and geese on water", and "cut through the enemy's tough armor and iron curtain", and no one can stop them.

The heavy armor used by Wei Wuzu, the bronze spears used by Qin Ruishi, the long halberds used by Qi Jiji, and the strong bows and crossbows used by Zhao Bianqi almost all came from Han.

Su Xuan casually visited several blacksmith shops, where all kinds of swords, spears and halberds were available. Various iron farm tools were placed on the counters. Judging from the paint color on the surface of the tools, they should have been made not long ago.

Was iron smelting technology already so mature during the Warring States Period?

He was a little surprised, and then began to think about whether the mature iron smelting technology could be used for his own benefit.

The first person he thought of was Qu Gengli.

During the Warring States Period, most plows used for farming were straight-beam plows, which were not flexible enough to turn around when plowing, and it was difficult to move the soil, resulting in low efficiency.

The curved plow is light, flexible, maneuverable, and capable of deep plowing.

Once the curved plow appears and is popularized, agricultural production efficiency will inevitably increase significantly, and farmers will have more time and energy to participate in other activities and production, thereby obtaining more food and wealth.

This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. As the founder, Su Xuan will also gain great fame.

Why not?

Chapter 42 Yan Lingji

A dense forest on the outskirts of Xinzheng City.

Crackling!

This is the sound of dry wood burning in a raging fire.

A large pot was placed over the charcoal fire and covered tightly.

Even so, the slight fragrance that emanates from it is enough to make people salivate.

Su Xuan sat on the wooden stool and nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, his cooking skills were top-notch; the tempting aroma instantly whetted his appetite.

And this is just during the cooking process. It is hard to imagine how delicious it will be when it is finished cooking.

Even Su Xuan, who had tasted the highest level of cooking many times, couldn't help but look forward to it.

In ten minutes, you can enjoy the delicious chicken stewed with mushrooms.

During the days of marching, Su Xuan never treated himself badly. When he was in a town, he would go to the inn to eat. When he was in the wild, he would take out the ingredients prepared in the storage space and cook for himself. His life was so comfortable.

The only pity is that there is no beautiful woman by my side.

He took out the wine, took a sip, and looked at the red flames. He couldn't help but think of the peerless beauty with natural charm, who was known as the number one goddess in Chinese animation.

Where would Yan Lingji be now? Being treated as an ornamental fish in a water tank?

Su Xuan remembered that the secret prison where Yan Lingji was imprisoned was in a dense forest outside Xinzheng.

So, I have a chance to meet her, and then play the role of a hero saving the beauty and win her heart in one fell swoop?

Su Xuan burst out laughing.

How could such a coincidence happen in this world? The prison was hidden, and the forest was so large that the probability of him encountering it was very small.

What he didn't know was that about a kilometer away from him, a red figure was slowly walking towards him.

"Wushuang Gui, do you smell anything?" Yan Lingji asked uncertainly with her nose twitching.

Upon hearing this, Wushuang Gui took a few deep breaths and then pointed in the direction of Su Xuan.

"You smelled it too?" Yan Lingji's eyes moved slightly, and she quickly made a decision, "Let's go and take a look together."

Wushuang Gui nodded quickly and followed Yan Lingji.

It smells so good!

The closer you get, the stronger the fragrance becomes.

This is the smell of food!

Yan Lingji was surprised and felt it was incredible that the fragrance of the food could be smelled from miles away. How could such delicious food exist in this world?

Goulon!

She looked back and found that Wushuang Gui was swallowing his saliva, with saliva drooling from the corners of his mouth, his eyes shining, and he looked eagerly waiting.

She had no doubt that if she had not been with him, this guy would definitely rush over based on instinct.

The two of them walked to a position only a hundred meters away from Su Xuan. Yan Lingji couldn't help but pursed the corners of her lips, with an obvious swallowing movement.

This is?

She looked intently and saw a man in a white robe and red clothes holding the Analects in his hands and reciting softly.

“You never tire of fine food, and you never tire of fine meat.”

Su Xuan nodded in agreement.

When it comes to how to enjoy life, Confucius gave a brilliant summary.

Su Xuan felt a little ashamed. In the past, Confucius traveled around the countries with his disciples accompanying him, enjoying all the delicious food. Compared with him, he was still far behind.

He secretly made up his mind that he must enjoy life better than Confucius in the future.

He closed the Analects and saw two figures slowly walking towards him, and his eyes paused.

The person in front of me was wearing a crimson flame outfit, had skin as white as ice and snow, long and beautiful legs like solid jade, and a flawless face.

She looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a graceful figure, dancing black hair, trembling long eyelashes, and eyes that seemed to be misty. One look at her would make one fall in love with her.

She walked slowly towards Su Xuan. As she walked, her slit black skirt revealed infinite spring scenery, and large areas of snow-white and soft skin on her beautiful legs were displayed in front of Su Xuan.

If he could give a score to this pair of beautiful legs, Su Xuan would give her full marks without hesitation.

He was amazed inwardly and finally understood why Yan Lingji could always sit firmly on the throne of the number one goddess of Chinese animation.

Her beauty is hard to describe in words. You will be amazed at first sight, and when you look at her again, you will find her even more flawless and charming.

"Are you a Confucian?" Just as Su Xuan was looking at Yan Lingji, she had gradually walked in front of Su Xuan. After her eyes fell on the Analects, she asked subconsciously.

"Miss Yan Lingji has good eyesight." Su Xuan smiled slightly and praised.

"You know me?" Yan Lingji was a little surprised and looked at Su Xuan curiously.

Su Xuan nodded, "I have read a few words in the history books. In the past, the former crown prince of Baiyue, Tianze, liked to recruit extraordinary people. He had four capable generals under his command, namely the Hundred Poison King, the Corpse Exorcist, the Peerless Ghost, and Yan Lingji."

Historical records? Fragments?

Yan Lingji was slightly disappointed.

For several years, she and Wushuang Gui and the other two searched for the whereabouts of their master Tianze. They visited various places, spent a lot of time and energy, but in the end they found nothing.

She felt like she was a little crazy, actually thinking of finding clues in a young man.

Ten years ago, he was only the same age as me, how could he know the secrets of the Baiyue people's past?

She shook her head secretly, and then her eyes subconsciously fell on the big pot, because the aroma was getting stronger and stronger, almost bursting out.

"What is this?" she couldn't help but ask.

"This is the food I cooked, chicken stewed with mushrooms." Su Xuan answered truthfully.

It smells so good!

Yan Lingji's narrow eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at Su Xuan again. A ball of flame suddenly ignited on her slender jade fingers.

She planned to use fire charm to spy on Su Xuan's memory to see if she could get any useful information. As for the food he cooked, it would naturally be her spoils of war.

"Meeting is destiny." Su Xuan naturally noticed this scene. He remained calm, put his left hand behind his back, formed into a sword finger, and raised his right hand in the air, making a gesture of invitation, "Miss Yan Lingji, why don't you enjoy it with us."

Yan Lingji paused and hesitated, looking back and forth between the food and Su Xuan. She decided to agree to his proposal for the time being. It would be the same if she used the fire charm on him after they finished eating.

blah blah blah!

Wushuang Gui's eyes were almost glowing green, and he was swallowing saliva in big gulps.

Yan Lingji put her hand on her forehead and when she looked at Su Xuan again, she saw him holding a wooden clip and slowly opening the lid of the pot.

call out!

She seemed to hear an inexplicable sound, followed by a bright light. Countless golden rays shot out in all directions, and the tempting fragrance that gushed out captured her instantly.
