Chapter 111 The real cause of Chinese agricultural civilization
Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how swollen Zhang Tianshi's thigh was at this time. He scratched his beard and asked guessingly.
“At least four kinds?”
"Tell me," Jiang Xinghuo encouraged.
“Southeast wind, southwest wind, northeast wind, northwest wind.”
"I think there are eight kinds." Li Jinglong said seriously, "and you have to add the winds of east, west, south and north."
Jiang Xinghuo smiled and continued to draw two lines on his text map.

Jiang Xinghuo spoke.
"What you said is actually not wrong. There are indeed eight kinds of winds in daily life."
"But the [wind] I refer to here is not the wind you usually perceive, but the 'monsoon'."
"It is the monsoon wind direction that causes different climates and different precipitation on the land of China."
Here, Jiang Xinghuo did not explain to them the more complex concepts of air pressure belts and wind belts, but only talked about the monsoon that had the greatest impact on China.
But even so, it was enough for Zhang Tianshi next door to pinch Zi’s thighs!
"It's really Feng Shui!"
It is completely different from the calmness before, and now Zhang Tianshi's eyes are uncontrollable.
The reason why Zhang Yuchu and Zhang Tianshi's performance was completely different from that of the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi and the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji is that it was not his business that the Little Ice Age led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty!
From Cao Wei to the present, it has been destroyed for countless dynasties. Longhu Mountain is still the same Longhu Mountain, and the Tianshi Mansion is still the same Tianshi Mansion. What does it have to do with me when the Ming Dynasty is destroyed?
So Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji were worried. When they were solemn, Master Zhang could only pretend.
But for Master Zhang Tianshi, "Feng Shui" is a completely different concept!
After all, this is the true secret!
If you master this science, even if you can only master a little bit, it will be enough to change the history of the entire Taoist sect?
From then on, my identity will not only be the 43rd generation of the celestial master of the Zhengyi School of Longhu Mountain, but also the Feng Shui master who was able to establish a sect in Longhu Mountain by relying on this knowledge!
For Zhang Yuchu, the Little Ice Age has nothing to do with him, and Feng Shui is his most valuable harvest!
"Feng Shui?" Zhu Gaochi frowned.
Zhu Gaochi always felt that what Mr. Jiang said was not the same as the Feng Shui mentioned by Feng Shui masters.
Seeing that the eldest prince was confused, Zhang Yuchu quickly explained.
"The so-called Feng Shui theory was defined as Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty. In his famous book "Burial Book", it says: Burial is to take advantage of the vitality. Qi rides on the wind and disperse, and to stop the boundary water. The ancients gathered it and did not disperse, and to stop the action. Therefore, it is called Feng Shui. Feng Shui method. Getting water is the best, and hiding wind is the second priority."
"In other words, Feng Shui is the art of plane and earth."
"Of course, this is just something at the level of 'art' Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a completely different concept, and Feng Shui is 'Tao'."
Zhu Gaochi seemed to understand but not, and there was no change on his face. Obviously, he did not understand the profound meaning of the difference between Feng Shui and Feng Shui. However, Zhang Yuchu knew that the meaning of the real "Feng Shui" in the world was absolutely extraordinary!
Because the Zhengyi School has been passed down for more than a thousand years, since the founder of the Five Dou Rice Sect Master Zhang Daoling, the leader of the Heluo Tu has regarded the incomplete Feng Shui techniques he mastered as a top secret. Only inheritance between each generation of celestial masters cannot be known to outsiders.
And this is just a broken Feng Shui technique.
There are several Taoist schools in the world that have gained their footholds based on their own different Feng Shui techniques.
Feng Shui has a long history and is mysterious and unpredictable, and it even contains many extremely difficult things to understand, which ordinary people cannot understand at all.
But these secret techniques that can support a sect to make a living are in front of what Jiang Xinghuo said.
Worthless!
As the direct descendant of the Zhengyi School of the Longhu Mountain, Zhang Yuchu has been exposed to some Feng Shui techniques inherited from the Taoist Tao of the Heavenly Master since childhood.
However, he knew very little about other parts of Feng Shui.
Zhang Yuchu also tried to ask several elders from other sects who also studied Feng Shui. Unfortunately, everyone was afraid of Mo Shen and did not want to talk to him too much. These are things inherited by their sects, so how could they share them with outsiders?
Until today, the appearance of Jiang Xinghuo has given Zhang Yuchu hope.
Master Zhang Tian seemed to have found a way out.
He was laughing wildly inside.
"I have learned the Feng Shui of the Immortals directly!"
"You guys, these old people, come into the coffin with their old incomplete Feng Shui techniques!"
"Master Dao, I'm going to be done soon, hahaha!"
Jiang Xinghuo pointed to the text map and said.
"In fact, there are only two main types of [wind] that affect the Ming Dynasty, one is the northwest monsoon and the other is the southeast monsoon."
"And these two winds are also very different because they appear at different times."
"The northwest monsoon, which appears in winter, blows from the north of the desert to the ocean, so it moves northwest."
"The southeast monsoon, which appears in summer, blows from the south to the ocean to the land and passes southeast of the Ming Dynasty."
The map is very simple and can be understood at a glance, but Li Jinglong is not satisfied. As a professional tutor, he must break every question to the end.
"How did these two monsoons come?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at him strangely. The wind is the wind, of course it blows, how else can it come?
He obviously did not understand Li Jinglong's profound meaning.
This is also the answer that Master Zhang Tianzhe next door is holding his breath and waiting.
How did wind, especially such a large scale and regular wind that can affect the entire land of China?
In Feng Shui, what you need to know is not just the superficial historical experience, otherwise it is still at the level of "art". Only by knowing the truth and knowing why can it be called "Tao".
Faced with this problem, Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment.
If you want to talk, of course you can speak according to the script.
But with their cognitive level, 99% are not understood.
If Jiang Xinghuo draws the four pressure points of the four cycles of sea and land, they will probably be confused directly.
Therefore, you have to explain it clearly, but some things can be omitted, and it is best to explain them in a way that they can understand in daily life.
Some concepts, such as "cold high pressure", may not be so serious. Strictly speaking, high pressure or low pressure is the concept of air pressure. They cannot be bound to cold or heat, which will cause misleading. It does not mean that cold is high pressure, and hot is low pressure.
But Jiang Xinghuo decided not to talk about it so dogmatic and rigid at first, and first speak it in a way they can understand. When there is more knowledge added in the future, they will naturally understand it.
So Jiang Xinghuo pondered seriously, sorted out his thoughts and spoke.
"Why wind is formed, the fundamental reason for this problem, is actually what we have already said when the Mongols conquered the world."
Zhu Gaoxu asked hesitantly: "Mr. Jiang said, then, that 'bire-reinforcement'?"
"right."
"Let's talk about the northwest monsoon in winter first."
Jiang Xinghuo pointed to the text map and asked: "In our normal understanding, the land of the Ming Dynasty is already extremely vast and vast, right?"
Zhu Gaoxu and Li Jinglong nodded.
This is naturally no problem, and it is in line with ordinary people's cognition.
Li Jinglong added: "And not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the nearly infinite land to the west of the Ming Dynasty. The Mongols have explored it, but even though the Mongols had tried tens of thousands of miles and it took several years to travel, they still did not explore the end of the world west, but they were in the south. Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty recorded that the southernmost part of Tianzhu was further south than ours, but it was not very far away. The southernmost part of Tianzhu also had an end."
Jiang Xinghuo's fingers drew an extremely large circle on the right side of the text map.
"If I tell you, the sea on the east side of our vast sea is vast and wider than the land we already know, do you believe it?"
The two of them hesitated for a moment, and after looking at each other, they both nodded at the same time.
"In legend, the sea in the east is vast and boundless. Even if Xu Fu and other well-prepared fleets go out to sea, they still cannot explore the end of the sea. The sea in the east is indeed larger than the land in our perception. Otherwise, people will see the end of the sea for generations."
The two people's open minds seemed to be a little higher than those of the ancients in Jiang Xinghuo's concept. They were easy to accept new concepts and things. As long as they were right, they could accept them if they could understand them.
"Just believe it."
Jiang Xinghuo nodded and gave a definition.
