50,000 Immortal Pills, part of the reward was given to his subordinates, and Zhou Ming himself took more than half. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Returning to the central island with these immortal pills, Zhou Ming took them at a frequency of one pill every two weeks, and only three or four months passed, and the effect was extremely significant.

After giving this pill to his mother, who was already half gray, Cui Shi, a month later, all the white hair on her mother's head turned jet black, and the wrinkles on her face also dissipated a lot.

There are also a few wives and concubines who are over forty years old, have dark yellow skin, and crow's feet at the corners of their eyes, take a few pills of Immortal Pill, and soon after they often smirk in the mirror, muttering to themselves: Is the eighteen-year-old woman with beautiful snow skin who seems to be back in the mirror really herself?

Looking at Zhou Ming, who includes himself and his relatives who are constantly rejuvenating, he has never had this kind of novel game experience, and for the first time, he feels that although the system in his brain is very tricky most of the time, the occasional surprise prepared for himself still makes him very surprised.

For example, this Immortal Pill may be a shocking easter egg hidden by the system in this copy.

This easter egg is really unbelievable and unbelievable.

However, Zhou Ming also slowly got used to it, like "Hehuan San" and "Guigu Gate", these kinds of things have already made him realize the power of this copy, and there is nothing unusual about one more "Immortal Pill...... At least, this is a good thing that can greatly extend his lifespan, one hundred and fifty or sixty years old, he doesn't dare to expect himself to live so long, but do the math, more than a dozen copy experiences, as if he has not lived at the age of ninety, this game, even if he only lives a hundred years old, Zhou Ming is also sure that he will use this extra one or two decades to earn tens of millions of achievement points.

So, in the following ten years, Zhou Ming began his new strategic layout:

On the one hand, he continued to increase the development of Penglai Immortal Domain, frantically recruiting immigrants and buying slaves from the mainland to fill the barren islands.

Most of these immigrants are low-income and extremely poor people from Datang, and most of these immigrants have left their hometowns with the purpose of having enough to eat, make a lot of money, and go to the island to pan for gold, and have taken a boat to overseas cultural countries, and since then, more than 98% of them have chosen not to return to the mainland, but to live in a stable and prosperous overseas cultural country, and take root and settle down.

As for those slaves, it was also Zhou Ming who privately cooperated with the slave traders in the Tang Dynasty, and exchanged the rich gold and silver resources of overseas Wenguo for the foreign slaves, a strong slave, who bought them at a high price with 500-800 silver coins or 50-90 gold coins, and the slave traders, the cost of capturing these slaves was less than one-tenth of the purchase price.

Therefore, seeing that it was profitable, the number of slave traders in the Tang Kingdom increased dramatically, and they frantically arrested foreign races from home and abroad, and in more than ten years, there were a total of 6 million slaves who were loaded and trafficked to overseas countries.

This evil slave trade happened under the nose of the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible for the upper ruling class of the Tang Dynasty to turn a blind eye, especially the empress Wu Cao, who heard the official report: Even many of their own people were cut off by those slave traders, cut off their tongues, pretended to be foreign slaves, and sold them to the overseas country, they were furious, mobilized a large army to search for them, severely beat a group of slave traders, and killed more than 1,000 people, and announced the closure of the port and the country...... It only had a certain effect for a period of time, but today, the old state has recovered, and the phenomenon of private slave trade has become rampant again.

Later, Zhou Ming took the initiative to send diplomatic envoys to conduct interviews and consultations with Empress Wu Cao, and laid out a list of goods demand, saying that overseas countries should establish free exchanges, equality and mutual benefit diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and said that today's overseas countries are most lacking in immigrants, slaves and silk, and in China, precious metals such as gold, silver and copper, how much or how much, if the two countries can sign a trade agreement, trade exchanges, each take what they need, exchange what they have, and have a lot of benefits for the economic development of the two countries.

For this proposal, Wu Mei didn't think about it at first, so she categorically refused, overseas Wenguo, a remote and barbaric country, if you don't come to pay tribute and call yourself a barbarian, forget it, and she also said that she wanted to establish "equal and reciprocal" diplomatic relations with Datang?

It's just that...... In order to crack this mystery, several far-sighted officials stood up in the Tang Dynasty to persuade Wu Cao that it was better to pretend to agree to the establishment of diplomatic relations, and take this opportunity to send capable and meticulous workers to penetrate into the interior of the overseas cultural kingdom and spy on the core secrets of those divine soldiers!

Prime Minister Di Renjie also said: The treasury of the Tang Dynasty is empty, and there is an urgent shortage of gold, silver and copper.

Wu Cao thought about it for a while, and then agreed to the two countries, send diplomatic envoys to each other, and establish formal diplomatic relations.

As a result, since the fifth year of the country, after the two countries formally established diplomatic relations, the Tang Dynasty and overseas countries, personnel economic and trade exchanges, in just a few years, there has been an explosive development, the total trade between the two countries, only official statistics, in five years, has increased more than 500 times, reaching the scale of more than 60 million silver coins.

In the following years, Wu Cao's later life, more and more extravagant and corrupt, in order to meet the enjoyment of personal life, she acquiesced to her family, colluded with the border generals, took the initiative to provoke several large-scale foreign wars, captured millions of foreign captives, all sold to overseas countries, and made a lot of money, although Wu Cao knew very well in his heart that this was a move to help the enemy and harm himself, but the ultimate enjoyment of life, is more than eighty years old, knowing that Wu Cao, who has not lived for two years, does not want to think about him at this moment: after she dies, no matter how big the flood will be in the world。

On the other hand, Wu Cao also chose to turn a blind eye to Tian Zihua's various actions in the Tang Dynasty by using Zihua's bookstore to make in the Tang Dynasty, and even wanted to observe with great interest, what kind of thing is the truth and holy way that Tian Zihua explained to her in that letter, "Supreme Science and Education, far better than Qu Meng"?

It is said that this thing called the "Holy Way of Science" is a way that the person who reached middle age and found that he had reached the end of the road of literature and Taoism, and could not go any further, and could not reach the height of the two saints of Qu Meng.

After embarking on this holy path, Tian Zihua quickly made a lot of achievements, and published them through Zihua Bookstore, the newly added "Science" journal platform.

For example, in the first issue of the journal Science, Tian Zihua published "The Three Laws of Force", using the three classical laws of mechanics of inertia, acceleration, and action and reaction to point out that all motion phenomena in this world can be anatomically analyzed by these three laws.

The second issue of the "Science" journal published "Principles of Chemistry", which contains more dry goods, introducing countless chemical reaction phenomena, and putting forward the atomic theory, Wu Cao even saw in it, she sent countless fine works, can not find out the proportion of black powder, in which it is very clear, put a reaction equation where, Wu Cao immediately ordered someone to find charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur, according to the "Principles of Chemistry" After several experiments, several masters who were responsible for solving the mystery of black powder burst into tears, and the mystery of black powder, which could not be solved for several years, was solved so effortlessly.

The third issue of the journal "Science" published "The Effect of Light", in addition to a comprehensive introduction to the phenomenon of direct light, refraction, scattering and diffraction, but also opened up people's new understanding of the microscopic world, because the use of these effects of light, the use of glass lenses, the production of telescopes and microscopes, can see a lot of things that cannot be seen with the naked eye, such as the cells in the body of animals and plants, the microorganisms in a glass of water, are clearly visible and vivid.

There are also astronomical telescopes with extremely high magnification, which are used for stargazing, and many mysterious celestial objects that cannot be seen or distinguished by the naked eye can be seen in front of you and are extremely clear.

Wu Cao received these two, Tian Zihua personally gave her a high-powered microscope and a large astronomical telescope, the microscope she was old and dizzy, she couldn't see what the cells looked like, but through that astronomical telescope, when she saw the surface of the night moon full of pits, and other planets, the desolate star catalog, Wu Cao was horrified, and the world view in her mind was almost completely subverted.

Since then, every issue of the "Science" journal, not only Wu Cao's period has not fallen, but also frowning and pondering, that is, when the civil and military officials went to court, they can also hear the sound of discussion, and some officials also played it to her, saying that "Science" is too novel, subverting common sense, shaking the way of Qu Meng Ersheng, disturbing people's hearts, when all of them were sealed, Wu Cao just stayed in the middle and did not take action.

Wu Cao understands in his heart that things like "Science" are harmful to the rule of the dynasty, not to mention some of the ideological views of Qu Meng Ersheng, which have indirectly been corrected and subverted, and some of the physical and chemical phenomena in nature that have been scientifically confirmed have broken many theistic views, and the more truths it reveals, the closer it is to the essence of this world.

For example, the idea of "divine authority of kings" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but after the "Science" comes out, people will ask: Where is God? Is it on the moon full of pits? Or is it in the red flames of the sun? Where is the heavenly palace? Where is the place where God lives? Why can't the telescope see it?

Wu Cao understood this truth, and she also knew that it would be better to seal the Zihua Book House as soon as possible, but she didn't do it, because she was a disciple of Guigumen, for thousands of years, this hermit sect has been studying how to fight for dragons and how to slay dragons, thinking that the world is in their control, but as soon as this "Science" came out, Wu Cao found that there were still some avenues in this world, and even Guigumen had not mastered them.

Therefore, Wu Cao and the Guigumen behind her both want to study and study again, learn and learn, how far can the so-called "Science" dig into the essence of this world.

However, with the continuous publication of the journal "Science", especially the ninth issue of "Heliocentrism, the Theory of the Circle of the Earth", and the twelfth issue of "Theory of Evolution and Inheritance", they are like mushroom eggs, which have exploded in the intellectual circles and the court!

Many people cannot accept that the infinite earth under their feet is not infinitely vast, but a sphere with a certain area, and that countless people cannot accept that human beings evolved from monkeys, apes, and not gods, and are the people of God.

Even if many people can't accept these theories, they can't categorically deny them: These inferences with a lot of scientific basis have no truth at all, and although they can't accept them for a while, if they think about it carefully, these reasoning hypotheses of Tian Zihua are all derived from formulas and theorems, and they are not all nonsense.

Especially when the fifteenth issue of the journal "Science" announced that the explorer Yang Yunsong led the steam fleet to complete the round-the-world voyage, discovered the new continent, arrived in the extreme western countries, and proved the "earth circle theory", the entire intellectual circle of the Tang Kingdom, like a ten-magnitude earthquake, countless literati and celebrities, rushed to overseas literary countries, witnessed this steamship fleet, from the mouths of those global sailors, interviewed countless questions, learned everything they wanted to know.

In the end, most of these literati and celebrities chose to stay in overseas literary countries, because this country has built a huge science city, in which there are 100-storey "stargazing towers", "book pavilions" with millions of books, "museums", "botanical and botanical gardens", "physics, chemistry and biology laboratories", "science halls" that can accommodate 10,000 people, and "lecture halls" that can accommodate more than 100 people...... Any intellectual, who has attained the academic qualifications, wants to learn more about science, can become a member of this science city as long as he goes through the admission procedure and does not have to pay any fees.

"Tian Zihua, do you really want to be sanctified by 'science'?"

Putting down the "Science" journal in his hand, Wu Cao, who was frail and sick in his later years and had been bedridden for a long time, muttered a sentence and said that he was very surprised by Tian Zihua's ambition.

Saint, for thousands of years, there have been two births in this land, and future generations cannot surpass it, Wu Cao did not expect that in her lifetime, she actually saw the shadow of the third saint.

However, she will not live to that day to witness that Tian Zihua and truly become holy.

Especially after Prime Minister Zhang Cambodia took his son Li Xian and some remnants of the Li Zhou royal family, taking advantage of her serious illness, he launched a Shenlong coup d'état and imprisoned her in the palace.

Wu Cao remembered again, that Tian Zihua, to her husband Li Zhi, wrote "Ming Emperor Benji", the four-character evaluation of "Inner Sage and Outer King", and then compare herself, if she also called Tian Zihua to write a "Empress Benji" for herself, I don't know if there will be a word of praise?

"Your Majesty, your merits and demerits, future generations will judge that you can ascend to the supreme throne and do what countless women have not been able to do for thousands of years, which is enough to prove that you are great and bright, as for the darkness behind this light, the cruelty behind greatness...... People don't care about these processes and details anymore, because if you do it, you will be enough to go down in history. ”

Listening to these words in his ears, I don't know when or what channel came to his bedside Tian Zihua, when he said these words, Empress Wu Cao's body was shocked, and she turned her head, with crystal tears in the corners of her eyes, stunned and speechless.

After a long time, she opened her mouth and explained: "After I die, there is no need to engrave words on the stele, and the merits and demerits are left to future generations to comment......"

After speaking, she looked at Zhou Ming again, and said with tears flashing: "In this life, I have no complaints, no regrets......

Zhou Ming nodded, seeing that her two tears finally slipped, her body relaxed, and she left this world safely, she couldn't help but sigh softly: This woman is not easy.
