Hearing what Chen Yuan said, Xu Fu suddenly looked ugly.
"Why, are you going to break your promise?"
Chen Yuan smiled: "I'm not breaking my promise, I just feel that the immortal is wasting his talents here."
Xu Fu snorted coldly: "Whether it's a waste or not is my own business. It has nothing to do with you. Give me the peach wood sword quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."
Chen Yuan looked at Xu Fu: "I wonder how the immortal can be so rude?"
Xu Fu looked at Chen Yuan: "I only swore not to hurt you, but I didn't say I wouldn't trap you. How long can you hold on if I trap you here?"
"By the way, don't think that people outside can save you. Although this cave is not the spiritual treasure space you mentioned, it is definitely not in reality. As long as I don't agree, no one can enter."
"So, I advise you to give me the peach wood sword, so that you and I will be well, and everyone will be well. Otherwise, don't blame me for ruthlessly destroying such a genius like you."
Although Xu Fu was confined here, he was not incommunicado with the outside world.
Sometimes he would go out to see the world, so he also knew about Chen Yuan's affairs.
Jingzhou Farewell Chen Zichu's reputation is known even to children in Jingzhou. It is conceivable that Chen Yuan is now famous.
Seeing Xu Fu showing his vicious thoughts, Chen Yuan didn't panic at all.
"I said Xu Fu, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Xu Fu was unmoved: "You just controlled part of my soul in the sword. At worst, I don't want it anymore. Even if I can't become an immortal, I, Xu Fu, will not be controlled by you."
Chen Yuan was immediately impressed by this guy.
"I said, Lao Xu, if you have such ambition, why did you refine the so-called elixir for the First Emperor in the first place? Isn't it also made by others?"
"Also, the elixir is real. I think it's probably fake."
Xu Fu glanced at Chen Yuan: "Nonsense, of course it's a lie. If it were true, I would have used it myself. I made elixirs for the First Emperor, just to use the method of making elixirs to seek the method of flying to immortality. It's a pity that Tianmen doesn't Open, what can I do?"
Chen Yuan clicked his tongue twice: "Since you can serve the First Emperor, why can't you serve my elder brother Liu Bei?"
Xu Fu burst out laughing when he heard this.
After laughing for a while, Xu Fu stopped laughing: "Your elder brother Liu Bei? How can he be compared with the First Emperor!!!"
Speaking of this, Xu Fu seemed to fall into some kind of memory.
"The First Emperor went from being a mediator to becoming the King of Qin after going through many hardships. He abolished enfeoffments, established prefectures and counties, unified writings and chariots, unified currency, and unified weights and measures. He attacked the Xiongnu in the north, conquered Baiyue in the south, built the Great Wall, built the Ling Canal, and destroyed the Six Kingdoms. The country, unified the world, the virtues of the three emperors, the merits of the five emperors, and he can be regarded as one emperor through the ages. What achievements does Liu Bei dare to compare with the First Emperor?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "The First Emperor, with the remaining heroes of the sixth generation, vigorously pursued his strategy to control the inner world, swallowed up the princes for two weeks, acted as the supreme ruler and controlled the Liuhe, beat and beat the world, and was powerful throughout the world. He took the land of Baiyue in the south. , thought Guilin, Xiangjun; the king of Baiyue, bowed his head and tied his neck, and commissioned his subordinates. He ordered Meng Tian to build the Great Wall to the north and guard the fence, but the Huns were more than 700 miles away; the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses, and the scholars did not dare He bent his bow and complained. So he abolished the ways of the previous kings, burned the words of hundreds of families, and used foolishness to lead Guizhou. He made the city famous and killed the heroes. He collected the soldiers of the world, gathered them in Xianyang, sold Feng Dy, and cast them into twelve golden men to weaken the world. The people. Then practice Huahua City, because the river is a pond, occupy the city of hundreds of millions of feet, and think it is solid in the face of unforeseen abyss. Good generals guard the key points with strong crossbows, trustworthy ministers, elite soldiers, and sharp soldiers. Who is it? He is indeed an emperor through the ages. .”
At this point, Chen Yuan's words suddenly changed: "The world has been settled, and the First Emperor's heart was that he thought that the Guanzhong was solid, the golden city was thousands of miles away, and the inheritance of descendants and emperors would last forever. However, the First Emperor was gone, and the second generation died. This is
Why?"
Xu Fu said disdainfully: "This is the crime of Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and Li Si. What does it have to do with the First Emperor?"
Chen Yuan shook his head: "No, no, the three people you mentioned are certainly guilty, but is the First Emperor not guilty?"
Xu Fu said flatly: "Of course the First Emperor was not guilty, and his merits will last forever."
Chen Yuan continued to shake his head: "Although the First Emperor had merits, he was not a perfect emperor. He was also guilty. His biggest shortcoming was that he was too anxious and used the people's power too much."
Xu Fu sneered: "Are you trying to say that the corvee is too heavy and the people are too burdened?"
"Isn't it true? Chen She is the son of Weng and Shengshu, a gangster and a migrant. His talent is not as good as that of the middle-class people, except for Zhongni, Mo Zhai, Tao Zhu, and Yi Dun.
Stubbornly rose up in Qianmo, led the exhausted soldiers, turned hundreds of people to attack Qin, cut down trees as soldiers, raised poles as flags, and the world gathered to respond, winning food and scenery. The heroes of Shandong then rose up together.
The Qin tribe will be destroyed."
Xu Fu sighed: "I thought you, Chen Zichu, were not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to say such a thing. It seems I misjudged you."
After a pause, Xu Fu continued: "What you said is what ordinary people say. However, in my opinion, the First Emperor was still too kind. If the First Emperor had not shown mercy to the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, how would the Second Emperor of Qin be able to do so?"
How can a mere Cangtou overthrow our Great Qin hegemony? It’s just the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who are working behind the scenes.”
"As for what you said about using the people too much? That's ridiculous. Did you know that when the First Emperor was there, the people's lives were far worse than when the world was unified? The root cause of the chaos in the world was not that the First Emperor used the people too much, but because of the restoration of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms.
The heart of the country does not die, otherwise, why would no one dare to cause chaos when the First Emperor was still alive? It is simply because Hu Hai was unable to intimidate the world."
After hearing Xu Fu's words, Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel moved.
Although Xu Fu's words are inevitably mixed with his admiration for Qin Shihuang, I have to say that what this guy said makes some sense.
If the people really went too far, then why didn't anyone dare to rebel when Qin Shihuang was around?
Even the so-called prophecies must state that the First Emperor will die and the land will be divided.
This shows that everyone in the world was frightened by Qin Shihuang. As long as Qin Shihuang did not die, no one would dare to rebel.
Of course, assassination is nothing.
Chen Yuan admitted that what Xu Fu said was reasonable. Since Qin Shihuang had no way to undermine him, he could only promote Liu Bei.
Chen Yuan nodded: "What you said makes some sense, but how do you know that my eldest brother will not be able to reach the level of the First Emperor in the future?"
Xu Fu sneered: "The First Emperor has already been the leader of a country at Liu Bei's age. Liu Bei is just a Jingzhou shepherd now, not to mention that a year ago he was a white man. If it weren't for your help, Liu Bei would be the most powerful now."
It’s just a county order.”
Otherwise, let’s just say this guy is mature.
This Xu Fu has lived for hundreds of years and is simply a ghost.
His eyesight is indeed extraordinary.
According to history, if it were not for Chen Yuan's interference, Liu Bei would indeed have been granted the title of Lieutenant of Anxi County after the Yellow Turban.
Note that he was not awarded the title of County Lieutenant because of his meritorious service in suppressing the Yellow Turbans.
The reason why Liu Bei was granted the title of Lieutenant of Anxi County was because of his meritorious service in suppressing Zhang Chun's rebellion.
Therefore, in history, although Liu Bei was instrumental in suppressing the Yellow Turbans, he was not even granted the title of official.
It was not until he participated in the suppression of Zhang Chun's rebellion that he got an official position.
It can be seen that Liu Bei's fate was rough.
Chen Yuan nodded: "Maybe you are right, but the reality is that my eldest brother is now the Jingzhou Shepherd. With my help, it is not impossible to take that position in the future, and my purpose is to make my eldest brother the emperor of the ages.
!”
Xu Fu felt that there were enough madmen at that time, but when he heard Chen Yuan's words, he suddenly felt that those madmen were scum compared to Chen Yuan.
Do you listen to what others say?
Want to send Liu Bei to the height of being an emperor for eternity?
Is this what a minister can do?
If you want to be an emperor for eternity, the key is to look at your own structure.
Without this pattern, no matter how awesome the minister is, it will be nonsense.
Xu Shu didn't want to talk nonsense to Chen Yuan. He felt that Chen Yuan was talking nonsense.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, give me the mahogany sword quickly, and I will let you out. From now on, we will never see each other again."
As he spoke, Xu Fu stretched his hand forward.
Chen Yuan pressed Xu Fu's hand: "Old Xu, don't worry, do you think I'm lying?"
"Since you know you are lying, why do you say anything?"
"Old Xu, I am really not lying. I have full confidence."
Seeing Chen Yuan being so unyielding, Xu Fu didn't want to break up with Chen Yuan.
Although Chen Yuan can be trapped, his soul will inevitably be severely damaged. This is a lose-lose approach. It is better not to do it.
So Xu Fu had no choice but to be patient again: "You said you have confidence, how can you prove it?"
What can you use to prove it?
Chen Yuan thought for a while: "How about papermaking? How about printing?"
"What are all these things?"
Fortunately, Chen Yuan carried a document with him and took it out from his pocket.
This document is the official position granted to Liu Ba by Liu Bei.
As long as Liu Ba agrees to leave the mountain, Liu Bei will grant him the title of Xiangyang Order.
Obviously Liu Bei still values Liu Ba very much.
Now all documents in Jingzhou are printed, and you only need to fill in your name and official position.
Chen Yuan handed the document to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu took it and took a look, and was immediately surprised.
Xu Fu also knew about paper.
But he had never seen such smooth and supple paper.
This kind of paper can completely replace bamboo slips.
Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh: "If the First Emperor had had this kind of paper, he wouldn't have had to have people carry thousands of kilograms of bamboo slips for review every day. His hands would be sore at the end of the day."
Chen Yuan said calmly: "Look at the words on this document, what mystery can you see?"
Xu Fu looked carefully at the words on the document and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is the handwriting of that master. It's really good calligraphy."
Nonsense is of course a good word.
This is Zhong Yao's regular script.
Chen Yuan spent a lot of favors to get Zhong Yao to write a thousand-character essay, and then used his characters as a template to make the mold needed to print the book.
Chen Yuan: "This is the regular script of Zhong Yao, Zhong Yuanchang, the minister of Jingzhou. How about it? I think my writing is very powerful."
"It's really good. This handwriting is superb. It's really a waste to use it for writing documents."
Chen Yuan shook his head: "This is not written by Yuan Chang, this is the printed text."
"What does this mean?"
Chen Yuan gave Xu Fu a general introduction to the principles of printing.
After finishing the popular science, Xu Fu fell silent.
With Xu Fu's intelligence, how could he not see the changes these two technologies would bring?
But there is still a problem.
"What is the cost of the materials used in this papermaking process?"
"It's not worth mentioning. A piece of paper costs only a penny."
Yes, Chen Yuan's papermaking technique was just made of some wood, bamboo, rags and linen, which are all very common and cheap things.
Xu Fu was shocked when he heard that the cost of making a piece of paper was less than a penny.
These two technologies will inevitably bring huge changes.
The cost of knowledge monopoly is higher, and the threshold is also higher.
It can even be said that it will be impossible to achieve a monopoly on knowledge in the future.
To be precise, some basic knowledge can no longer be monopolized.
What can be monopolized is just some high-end knowledge.
This is also the reason why Xueyuan was born.
Because basic knowledge can no longer be monopolized, only high-end things can be monopolized, and learning and application came into being.
Xu Fu was silent for a while and said: "These two technologies are indeed extraordinary. Although they are not as good as the same text in the book of the First Emperor, they can still be regarded as a move that will benefit the ages. However, it is not enough to compare with the First Emperor alone.
of"
Chen Yuan nodded: "Of course, I also have the gunpowder book, the two great skills of guide, and even the two supreme skills of physics and chemistry. Learning them can change the world, mix the nine states into one, and turn the world into a village. You
Do you think if I can do this, can my eldest brother be as good as the First Emperor?"
Xu Fu expressed disbelief in Chen Yuan's bragging.
Chen Yuan also knew that Xu Fu didn't believe it now, but Chen Yuan still said: "I know you don't believe it now, how about this, I can let you see the changes in just ten years, how about?"
"Immortal Chief, you only need to serve in Jingzhou for ten years. If I can't do it after ten years, it's up to you to stay or go. If I do it, then I ask the Immortal Chief to stay in Jingzhou and be a Qintian Supervisor."
Bar."
Yes, Xu Fu's best position is the Qintian Supervisor.
Someone will definitely fill this position in the future. Instead of letting others do it, it is better to let Xu Fu do it.
At least this guy's astronomy skills are excellent.
You must know that as an alchemist, astronomy and geography are basic skills, and you even need to be proficient in some physics and chemistry knowledge. Otherwise, how can you make elixirs?
Alchemy requires careful attention to the right time, place, and people. The right time is astronomy, the right place is geography, and the right people are even more important.
You also need to pay attention to the ratio of various medicines.
You must know that gunpowder was something these guys accidentally invented when they were refining alchemy.
Therefore, this guy Xu Fu is a treasure.
Not only can you be a supervisor, but you can also become a good scientific researcher.
As for ascending to immortality?
What a waste.
So what if I become an immortal?
Maybe the world after ascension will be more cruel than the current world, and it is not impossible to be fucked to death as soon as you ascend.
