The woman seemed to be aware of Yang Fan's mentality and chuckled: "It seems that my father-in-law doesn't understand everything either!"
As she spoke, she stared at Yang Fan with shining eyes and said slowly: "The little girl has lived on an isolated island since she was a child. The people there have been pursuing the way to immortality all their lives. Even if they don't have the opportunity, they all study all kinds of magic.
Techniques, in pursuit of being more in line with the way of heaven, the words of the Grand Governor just now gave the little girl some insight..."
"The way to immortality? Is there really a way to immortality in this world?" Yang Fan frowned, a little unbelievable.
The woman nodded unequivocally: "I don't know if people can live forever, but it is certainly possible to prolong life. Have you ever heard of the "Mo Family"?"
"heard about it!"
Yang Fan paused and then added: "The Mohist School is one of the hundreds of schools of thought. Its founder is Mo Zhai (Mozi). The Mohist School is a well-disciplined academic group, and its leader is called Juzi."
"It is said that Mohism was a philosophical sect during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and was a school among hundreds of pre-Qin scholars who specialized in the study of natural sciences."
"According to historical records, Mencius, the representative of Confucianism, once said: "The world's speech belongs not to Yang (Yang Zhu, a representative figure of Taoism), but to Mohism (Mozi)." This proves that Mohist thought has been brilliant for a period of time."
"The main ideological propositions of Mohism are: equal love between people (universal love), opposition to aggressive wars (non-offensive), advocating thrift, opposing extravagance and waste (frugal use), and attaching importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of our predecessors (minggui)
), grasp the laws of nature (the will of heaven)..."
As he said this, Yang Fan listed out all the evaluations and records of the Mohists in his mind by later generations.
When she heard Yang Fan reciting some information about the Mohist family as if reciting literature, the woman's eyes widened and she seemed a little unbelievable.
You must know that since the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Mohist family has retreated to the mountains and forests and traveled to overseas islands.
But I didn't expect that a young man like Yang Fan would know so much about the Moh family.
Although a lot of the content is hearsay, being able to understand so much is enough to show that Yang Fan paid special attention to Mohism.
At this moment, the woman hesitated.
She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to come to Yang Fan today.
Seeing the woman's hesitant look, Yang Fan was not in a hurry. Instead, he poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
After a while, the woman glanced at Yang Fan with an unclear expression and said, "Since the father-in-law knows so much about the Mo family, I don't want to explain much."
"However, my uncle has misunderstood one thing. Everyone thinks that Yang and Mo represent the two factions of Taoism and Mohism. In fact, this is not the case. Not only Yang (Yang Zhu, a representative figure of Taoism), Mo (Mozi, Mohism)
Representatives) "School, almost all the hundreds of schools in the pre-Qin period originated from the priests of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period... It's just that the later Taoists and Mohists inherited more inheritance..."
Through the woman's narration, Yang Fan had a certain understanding of the origin of Baijia.
It turns out that in ancient times, gods were entities that the world feared and respected.
During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, in order to maintain contact with the gods in the sky, the emperors communicated through sacrifices.
Priests are clergy who communicate with heaven and are the only kind of existence other than emperors.
As dynasties changed, hundreds of schools of thought evolved within the priesthood.
Mohism and Taoism inherited most of the inheritance.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, in order to prevent these clergy who knew how to practice from disturbing the national order.
As a result, Qin Shihuang cast twelve golden men to suppress the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, making the environment increasingly unsuitable for the survival of Qi refiners.
Due to changes in the environment and the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer Qi practitioners, and clergy have long become legendary figures.
This also caused Qi practitioners to quickly disappear from the stage of history.
And some of the priests who pursued immortality had to stay away from the Central Plains to find a suitable place to practice, which also caused the Qi Refiners to almost disappear from the world's sight.
Those left in the Central Plains are actually just some disciples of the Mo clan who research equipment, elixirs and the like!
On the contrary
Those priests who danced to the great gods, relied on their inheritance and became the officials who prayed for the emperor and performed sacrifices... Instead, they established a firm foothold, which is the so-called Taoist sect.
Yang Fan was shocked when he heard the woman's story.
I didn't expect that the real Mohism and Taoism have such a connection.
According to historical records of previous generations, Mohism is divided into three schools: Xiangli's Mohism, Xiangfu's Mohism, and Dengling's Mohism.
According to Yang Fan's understanding, Xiangli's ink and Xiangfu's ink actually represent the hands-on and theoretical schools of handicraftsmen.
The ink of Deng Ling's family represents the Qi Refiner who pursues immortality, which is what people call the Ranger.
Obviously, the woman's tribe had actually emigrated overseas before Qin Shihuang unified the country, and it can be said that they have retained the most complete inheritance.
It's no wonder that a weak woman can have such strong fighting power. She can be said to be a true Qi practitioner.
In the words of later generations, women and those who immigrated overseas use the method of dialectical materialism to understand.
These people are equivalent to the ancient architects, physicists, chemists, astronomers, medical scientists, prophets, metaphysicians...proper high-end talents.
No wonder the woman just looked at her rocking chair for a while and then explained all the reasons behind it.
The Mo family is a hands-on family, a practical family...
In short, these people even represent the best talents in construction, physics, chemistry... in this era!
But Yang Fan felt a little pity.
These people wasted their talents and did not use the knowledge accumulated and passed down from generation to generation to improve people's lives. Instead, they spent their entire lives exploring those illusory immortal ways.
Is there really immortality in this world?
Yang Fan once again had such a question in his mind!
But he didn't dare to deny it.
After all, his own system and traveling to the Tang Dynasty are not things that science can explain.
Apart from theology, Yang Fan really can't think of any force that can promote all this.
Seeing the unpredictable expression on Yang Fan's face, the woman was very proud.
In her opinion, Yang Fan was shocked by their identities.
The woman became more confident about what she was going to say next.
It’s just a pity!
This father-in-law has too many fetters in the world of mortals and cannot devote himself to seeking immortality.
Otherwise, Yang Fan, who has become the governor of a party before he has even reached the throne, will definitely be the target of their recruitment.
According to the investigation during this period, the governor in front of me not only has extraordinary wisdom and insight, but also has an innocent heart for the country and the people.
If you step into the immortal path, you are very likely to get a glimpse of the supreme heaven!
The woman was waiting for Yang Fan to explore the way to immortality.
After waiting for a long time, Yang Fan made no movement at all. The woman was a little dumbfounded!
This is a little different from what she expected!
It stands to reason that when these ordinary people hear the secret of immortality, shouldn't they be eager to ask for advice on how to achieve immortality?
Why is Yang Fan not anxious at all?
How did the woman know that Yang Fan had already noticed that the woman in front of him obviously came to ask for something.
If you speak first, wouldn't you lose the bargaining chip?
Yang Fan was very greedy for the tribesmen the woman mentioned. They were free labor!
In his political planning, building Jiangnan into a prosperous land is what he should do most at the moment.
Cultivation of immortality and seeking Taoism are too far away from him, so there is no need to be so anxious.
What's more, if the other party really wants to teach him how to cultivate immortality, he doesn't need to ask for it himself, and the other party will come to his door.
The woman seemed to have noticed that Yang Fan was playing deep, but she just smiled indifferently and said, "It seems that the father-in-law came to visit me because he knew that the little girl wanted something, so I won't go around in circles."
After saying that, the woman's beautiful eyes stared at Yang Fan through the gauze and said: "The little woman also said just now that we are a group of pursuers.
Qi practitioners who practice the way of immortality immigrated to an overseas island in the pre-Qin period."
"As time goes by, the seawater gradually rises. Now the usable area of the island is less than 2/3 of the previous one, and it is becoming increasingly uninhabitable."
"Ever since I saw the Grand Governor's new-style sea-going ship, not only the ship's huge hull, but also the steel body that is not corroded by the sea water...everything, the little girl has been really shocked!"
"Therefore, the little girl wants to ask her father-in-law for the skill of forging immortal steel so that the tribe can build a safe place on the sea so that the tribe can continue to survive on the island. I wonder if the father-in-law can tell me?"
After hearing the woman's words, Yang Fan felt that this guy was simply cute.
Who would spread the knowledge of forging steel at will?
More importantly, Yang Fan was shocked by the woman's unbridled ideas.
It's incredible to want to build a steel fortress on the ocean.
Even in future generations with advanced technology, no one dares to regard the ocean as a livable place.
However, according to this woman, her people are all skilled craftsmen, and some of them are superhuman Qi practitioners.
If there were advanced steel-making methods, it would really be possible to build a Great Steel Wall on the sea.
But Yang Fan is definitely not a philanthropist. If he wants to get the steelmaking method from his own hands for nothing, of course Yang Fan will not do a loss-making business.
"I am the lord of Jiangnan, so I naturally have to plan for Jiangnan. The method of steel forging can build ships and open shipping for Jiangnan, which can bring huge benefits to Jiangnan. These benefits are enough to make the people of Jiangnan live in peace and contentment, and even make the empire prosperous.
, the foundation of such a country, a certain person and the heroine can only be regarded as a one-time relationship, why should I give such a thing to you? "
Yang Fan feels that these people who practice immortality are too ignorant of the ways of the world.
How can there be such a good thing if you just want your own technology patent without paying anything?
Just like in later generations, people abroad have the same advanced technology patents, and they want to hide it and sell it at a high price. How can they spread this technology?
The woman seemed certain that Yang Fan would agree to her, and said calmly: "We can pay, just tell us how much it costs..."
After this period of inquiring, the woman believed that Yang Fan was a money-hungry man, and as long as he provided enough money, Yang Fan would definitely agree.
But what she didn't expect was that Yang Fan not only shook his head in rejection, but even showed a look of contempt.
Seeing this, the woman looked a little surprised, as if she had seen a ghost.
In her opinion, doesn't Yang Fan like money? Why would he refuse without hesitation?
The woman was a little surprised and continued to ask:
"Master, what do you mean? Do you think we can't afford the price?"
Yang Fan said with disdain: "Yes, it's not that I look down on you, I think you can't afford it..."
But I thought in my heart, money can be made at any time, but talent is hard to find!
If you have talents, are you still worried about not having money to spend?
Jiangnan is in a period of great development and is in short supply of talents.
I was worried about having no one, and this guy actually showed up at my door. I would be sorry if I didn't give him a try.
Besides, when the air route opens normally, Jiangnan will no longer be short of money.
Those money are just piles of numbers.
After hearing what Yang Fan said, the woman was a little unconvinced.
Although her people had moved to the island for many years, they took away huge wealth. She didn't believe that they couldn't even buy a piece of technology, so she asked angrily: "You can just tell me the price. There is nothing in the world that we can't afford."
thing."
【In view of the general environment,
Yang Fan chuckled: "The heroine is really happy, so I'm not polite. This steel-making method is the foundation passed down from generation to generation. Naturally, the price cannot be lowered, otherwise it will be an insult to your status. So, you just need to pay
For twenty million guan, I will give you this technology."
Hearing this, the woman was furious. She was startled and asked: "Twenty million yuan, why don't you go and grab it? Even the Tang Dynasty court can't come up with so much money, can it?"
"Isn't it too insincere for the Governor to open his mouth like this? Believe it or not, I will kidnap the people from your steel mill directly so that you won't get a penny."
Looking at the woman's furious look through the hazy gauze, Yang Fan was not afraid at all, and softly uttered two words: "I don't believe it!"
If the other party could do this, the woman would not be so humble as to come to the door.
Although I don’t know the reason behind it, there is definitely some restriction on them doing this.
Seeing that Yang Fan looked like a pig that was not afraid of boiling water, the woman took a few deep breaths and tried hard to calm down the anger in her heart.
If her grandfather hadn't repeatedly warned her not to be violent with Yang Fan, she might have drawn her sword and taught Yang Fan a lesson.
Just when the negotiation between the two reached an impasse, a burst of hearty laughter came.
"Haha... Why would the Governor play tricks on my useless granddaughter?"
Although the voice seemed a bit old, it came from all directions and poured directly into his ears, making Yang Fan's blood boil.
Yang Fan was shocked for a moment, raised his eyes and looked out the door, only to see an old man in green clothes walking like a leisurely cloud.
In a few steps, people had already entered the house, and Xi Junmaiyixin, who was standing guard outside, didn't even react.
Yang Fan's heart tightened, it seems that this old guy is more powerful than the woman!
Seeing Xi Junmai and a group of guards pulling out the pistols from their waists, Yang Fan felt a little safer.
In his opinion, as long as this old guy does not jump out of the human category, he will never be able to escape the power of these pistols.
However, this old guy is really powerful. Just after I saw this guy move a few steps, he had already arrived at the house from dozens of feet away.
What is the difference between this and the legendary Shuchichi no Jutsu?
It seems that this old man is really a great person!
Only then did Yang Fan clearly see the face of the old man in green.
The old man has a slim figure, and his large green robes are worn so that his clothes are flying, and he has a certain charm of immortality.
When Yang Fan was shocked and suspicious, the old man clasped his fists and saluted, "It's really rude for an overseas villager to come to see you and barge in. However, you are a man of great fortune and I don't think he will care about you like ordinary people."
This old man is obviously quite old!
He has a thin face with a charming smile, and the folds on his face seem to be like blooming chrysanthemums, which makes him look like a trace of disgust.
Seeing that this guy had no ill intentions, Yang Fan waved his hand to Xi Junmai and said with a smile: "My father-in-law has given me too much praise. How can I, the governor, He De, get such high praise? My father-in-law is a man of immortal character. He is really a figure among the gods!"
Having said that, Yang Fan secretly thought about it.
Are you blessed with great luck?
Is it possible that these people don’t dare to do anything to themselves?
According to some records in mythology, ordinary monks cannot take action against mortals who have great luck, otherwise it will easily cause backlash.
Your mother!
It seems that I traveled to the Tang Dynasty and became the protagonist with luck.
Although he speculated in his heart, Yang Fan did not dare to go out of his way.
After all, this old man looks weird, who knows if he will fall out soon.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan quickly said: "Master, please sit down, I will pour you tea right now."
After saying that, he directly poured a cup of tea for the old man.
The old man was not polite and directly took the tea and drank it all: "My father-in-law respects the elderly and loves the young so much that he is indeed a good official praised by the people. Well, this tea is good, I like it very much."
"If you like it, father-in-law, I will give you a few kilograms later to try." Yang Fan smiled brightly and quickly tried to please him.
When the enemy is unknown, it is better to lower your posture.
There is no shame in being subdued in front of such a divine figure.
Seeing this scene, the old man laughed and said: "You kid
As expected, Luo'er is so slick, no wonder you fooled her around with just a few words!"
"Grandpa, whoever was fooled by him, if you hadn't allowed me to do it, I would have knocked him down long ago!" The woman on the side stamped her feet and said coquettishly to the old man.
The white little hand rushed directly to the old man's chin, obviously trying to pull out the beard.
"Oh, I can't pull it out... Grandpa was wrong!" The old man avoided the woman's little hand and quickly begged for mercy.
Obviously, the old man dotes on the woman very much. Maybe this is a cross-generational marriage!
This scene made Yang Fan completely relax.
I originally thought that these Qigong practitioners were ruthless and heartless, and as long as they took care of family ties, they wouldn't be so scary.
Seeing Yang Fan watching the show, the old man said displeasedly: "Master, if you don't pull Luo'er away quickly, believe it or not, I will let Luo'er punish you!"
"Uh...??" Yang Fan was stunned.
Sister!
This is weird.
What about playing tricks on others?
Pull this woman away?
Although I may have the strength, I don’t dare to try it!
However, the woman was very considerate, glared at the old man fiercely, and stood quietly beside him.
The old man immediately pretended to be a master, drank another cup of tea, and then said with a serious face: "Master, Luo'er also told you just now, we want your method of making steel.
, tell me the conditions!"
"Why do you insist on my method of practicing steel? Since that island is not suitable for living, just move away. I think with your financial resources, you can definitely find a good place."
Yang Fan didn't mention the 20 million yuan thing again, but was a little curious about these people.
In his opinion, since the island is not suitable for habitation, just move it away.
The world is so big and there are many unowned places. With the abilities of this group of people, it is definitely not a big problem.
After hearing Yang Fan's words, the old man fell silent.
After pondering for a long time, the old man explained again: "To be honest with you, the island has the altar and spirit gathering array built by our ancestors. If there were no altar and spirit gathering array, today when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dissipated,
We simply cannot step into the door of cultivation."
"We also wanted to build in another place. On the one hand, there were not enough materials. On the other hand, we searched many places but could not find an alternative location."
Hearing that her grandfather was not hiding anything, the woman squirmed her mouth several times to stop him but did not speak.
Indeed, if there were other ways, they would not want to build a steel Great Wall on that island.
After all, the cost is absolutely huge.
According to the calculations of the tribesmen, the island will be completely submerged by the sea in less than two hundred years.
If they can no longer find a replacement position, they Qi practitioners will lose their inheritance.
Hearing such secrets, Yang Fan couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there are still limitations to the Qi Master's practice due to factors of one kind or another.
Otherwise, he would be miserable if a group of thugs jumped out at any time and anywhere.
