Chapter 202: Immortal Master is so willful
Then the old man quoted the words of the sage, a lot of it, Zhang Cheng also understood a little, in short, it is necessary to convince people with virtue, and to convince people by force will fall into the inferior and unworthy of the gentleman.
In the face of such a slap in the face, without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Zhang Cheng took out a coin, closed one eye and aimed at the old man, and then a white light flashed over the old man's head and body, and he was divided by the scientific electromagnetic cannon - the electromagnetic cannon was castrated, and a inclined pit more than one meter deep and more than ten meters long was smashed outside the main hall.
After Tu Shi killed the old man in the main hall, Zhang Cheng said loudly: "The one who spoke just now can't help it, oops, I forgot to say it, you probably don't know that I am a violent person, and I never quarrel with people - I am better at fighting." Who else wants to fight??? ”
Zhao Ji almost applauded on the side - no wonder everyone wants to be an immortal, it turns out that an immortal can be so willful, it's too happy. That old man every time he moved out of the sage cloud how to teach Zhao Ji how to be a man, Zhao Ji has put up with him for a long time, but this old guy is too hard, he can be said to be one of the spokesmen of the local wealthy family in the imperial court, even if Zhao Jigui is the honor of the Ninety-Five, he can't be moved lightly.
But Zhao Ji also knew this old man's personality in private, not to mention that he married a thirteen-year-old sixteenth-room wife a few months ago at such an age, the old man's family also relied on his power in the court and local to occupy hundreds of thousands of good fields, and of course he did not do anything less to bully men and women.
But the court is filled with a large number of such officials, who use the standards of saints to demand the emperor and political enemies, and how to come happily themselves.
Facing Zhang Cheng's call. There was a silence in the court, although it is a very glorious thing for Wenchen to die, but the emperor may not really die - maybe he will have a good reputation in the history books, but there are examples of just dead in front of him and the immortals, and there will really be no corpse.
When faced with the choice of life and death, the spokesmen of the landlord class still chose to keep silent. After all, there are only a few people who can still be officials after reading and reading stupidly, and the guys who can really stand tall in the court are all people like people - let them practice their mouths and make official articles, and one can be used by ten officials of the Jin Kingdom. As for the professional governance of a strong army and a rich country, there is no need to expect too much - if he is in a hurry, he will cry and shout "The concubine can't do it!" to respond.
Except for a few powerful founding emperors, the ones sitting on top of the Jinluan Hall are basically the marionettes of the wealthy families. In fact, Zhang Cheng is very familiar with this set in ancient China. Wealthy people pass guò indirect means to control government policies - is it not very familiar. True, the United States has been following this path since its founding.
The difference between ancient emperors and American presidents is not so big - you say that the problem of three houses and six courts, the White House is only one Lewinsky? Of course not.
If the wealthy (chaebol) are not satisfied with the emperor (president), they can just kill and replace an obedient one. Anyway, that position is more of a target in everyone's eyes - the difference is nothing more than the use of high-poison elixir by ancient wealthy families or the bullets used by modern chaebols directly in the army. Flipping through the history books, there are many emperors (presidents) who were killed by the wealthy (chaebols) in history.
In the end, Zhao Ji, who was still very happy, made a round: "The immortal master atons for his sins." These disciples of Confucius and Mencius thought that they were the children of saints after reading some scriptures, and they were used to being arrogant on weekdays, and today they collided with the immortal master......"
Zhang Cheng also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "That's it." Let them first think about how the master behaved between Chen and Cai. ”
"Immortal Master, the palace is depressed, why don't you go to the back garden with me." After all, there was still a lot of blood splashed on the main hall, and Zhao Ji wanted to talk to the immortal master in another place, lest the group of people below vomit and lose the dignity of the court.
Zhao Ji remembered that he had begun to learn Taoism at a young age, and he didn't know how much he had taken to break a virgin Yuan Yin every few days, but he didn't have the magic power of the immortal master in front of him. Of course, the effect of the elixir that Zhao Ji takes on weekdays is still good.
"It's fine."
When the two of them went out, the guards of the forbidden army immediately removed the body of the old man in the palace. The civil and military ministers went home one after another to bathe and change their clothes, well, maybe even the sedan chair had to be changed.
Zhang Cheng and the official Zhao Ji walked for a while in the pavilion and water pavilion in the harem garden, and Zhao Ji asked, "Immortal Master, I don't know something. I also learned the Tao since I was a child, and I didn't know how many pills I had eaten in the Taoist scriptures, but I didn't know how many pills I had taken when I saw the immortal master today. Please ask the immortal master to solve the doubts, the real immortals can eat and drink, and the sun will not rise. ”
Zhang Cheng patted the gourd, there was an extra piece of bone-in beef in his left hand, and an extra bottle of red wine in his right hand, Zhang Cheng bit a piece of meat, poured a sip of wine, chewed and ate it before saying: "Who said that the immortals eat and drink dew, it is good to be killed, it is a liar." If I don't eat a meal, I'll be hungry and eat people if I don't eat for a day. ”
After Zhang Cheng threw the wine bottle and beef bones into the pond in the courtyard of the palace, and the two sat down in a pavilion, Zhang Cheng said, "Let's put it this way, not everyone can become an immortal in cultivation. The purpose of a qi practitioner is to discover the qi in the body, and to strengthen the qi in the body, and finally control the qi in the body.
If a cultivator wants to achieve something, he must first have such a trace of the Five Elements Aura in his body, and then absorb the same attribute aura between heaven and earth little by little to strengthen himself, and even cast spells. But this first level is one in ten thousand. ”
Zhao Ji hurriedly asked, "Immortal Master, then do you see that I have five elements of spiritual energy in my body?" ”
Zhang Cheng shook his head: "I don't know, but I can't see this." Even immortals are the same, if you have an immortal fate, you will meet your own master, but it is not me. In the past 100 years, I have not had the idea of accepting disciples. ”
Zhao Ji: "Then the immortal master, you are ......"
Zhang Cheng: "I am a wood reiki, and the descendants of our lineage are the best at regulating the body and prolonging life, and cultivating flower medicine garden alchemy. ”
Seeing that Zhao Ji was about to open his mouth, Zhang Cheng said first: "Don't worry, it's not a problem to give you some elixir, of course, even immortals don't have any immortal elixir." If there were, I would have eaten it in one bite a long time ago, and I could not save it until now. ”
"Thank you Immortal Master for your generous kindness." Zhao Ji asked again: "I heard that the immortal master's accent is different, I think it's because of living in the fairy world, right?" ”
Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice: "I have attained the Tao since the Jin Dynasty, and after three hundred years, I became an immortal. There is a change of dynasties in the middle, and there are also differences in the accents of the vicissitudes of life. ”
Saying that, Zhang Cheng smiled himself: "Forget it, forget it, say what he did." It's all old things. Come, I'll show you some elixir, the elixir in this yellow bottle. It is a kidney-strengthening water. What about the elixir in this white bottle? It is to increase the body's qi, especially the strength of the waist and legs. The elixir in this red bottle is amazing, and it can make the finch develop a second time. ”
Zhao Ji, who had long known that there was no immortal elixir, listened to the explanation, and Zhao Ji, an official who was forty years old and not confused, said with his eyes lit up: "Not bad." Good stuff. ”
Man. Don't worry about power and money. In addition to the rest of the few things with women, there are not many things left, Lao Zhao himself, thousands of beauties in the palace, and often nostalgic for the Qinglou Chu Pavilion - otherwise, how can I know Master Li and Zhao An Song Jiang.
And one of the remaining important things is self-realization, and the best thing that the Chinese emperor did was Zhao Ji in front of him, arguably one of the most outstanding calligraphers, painters, and poets in the Song Dynasty and even in Chinese history. Later, the Ming Dynasty also had a skilled carpenter emperor. Russia seems to have had a locksmith tsar, which can be regarded as an exemplary figure of the emperor's self-realization.
After solving the problem between the men, Zhao Ji asked, "Immortal Master, I don't know how many semi-automatic rifles there can be?" ”
This Zhang Cheng had already prepared: "There is a way to teach people to fish is better than to teach people to fish, I brought two assembly lines of the immortal family over, one is to produce semi-automatic rifles, and the other is to produce bullets." Find an open place and put it down. Both lines are only used during daylight hours (solar-driven).
On a sunny day, it can be used for four hours, and on a sunny day, it can produce 500 semi-automatic rifles and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. When it's cloudy, it can only be used for an hour or two. You only need to put the copper, iron, lead and nitrate into the material port according to the proportion of the need. ”
Zhao Ji: "Thank you so much to the Immortal Master." ”
Zhang Cheng: "Don't be busy, I didn't give it away for nothing." ”
Zhao Ji: "This, I don't know how much it costs?" ”
Zhang Cheng: "I don't lack gold and silver, I actually came here to ask for a few calligraphy and paintings from the officials." There is an aura in the official family's paintings, and I admire it very much even if I am a successful cultivator, and I want to take some back to appreciate and collect. ”
"It's easy, I'll ask people to pack up some fine products and send them to the immortal master." Zhao Ji was very happy, his calligraphy and painting were appreciated by the immortal masters in the fairy world, which must be more real than the group of sycophants of the ministers and hundreds of officials - what good is it for the immortal master to shoot the emperor's sycophants!
Although the entire court now knows that the official Zhao Ji's calligraphy and painting are unique, but they are not economic and social, they still don't understand that this Zhao Ji is actually a big gold mine. Any calligraphy and painting he passed down to later generations will cost tens of millions in the Chinese antique circle, and the fine works will cost more than 100 million yuan - not to mention that money is so vulgar, it is also a national treasure-level artwork, and it is also qualified to hang it in the Palace Museum. If the painting Zhang Cheng bought had not been auctioned in the United States, I am afraid that the price would have been higher.
Needless to say, Zhang Cheng's second purpose here is to collect porcelain in the Song Dynasty, and there is no doubt that the Song porcelain of the five major kilns in the collection industry is undoubted, and Zhang Cheng has collected some of the Ming blue and white porcelain, but the value of the Ming blue and white porcelain is far less than the Song porcelain in terms of technology and artistry and even the value of later generations.
However, there are few Song porcelain fine products handed down - Japan has such two Song porcelain fine tea sets and national treasures for the same, after all, after the Song Dynasty, the land of China has experienced so many years of war, porcelain is broken and not easy to preserve.
Of course, the official kiln of the Song Dynasty was sent to the palace, but the people of the Song Dynasty obviously did not realize the potential value of the fine porcelain of the official kiln, so they just asked for some casually.
And although this arms business is a production line that teaches people to sell fish directly, it may not be done once - the Great Song Dynasty also has more than one million regular troops, although it is unlikely that they will all change their outfits, but thinking that China will also retain more than one million active troops in later generations, the surrounding Song Dynasty, which is not at peace, has no reason to play a big cut, and the laid off soldiers accidentally bump into a few Li Zicheng like that is enough for the court to drink a pot.
And it seems that the ratio of one gun to forty rounds of ammunition is normal, but that is to see, once the live ammunition training and even the actual combat, the bullets will be splashed out like running water - in addition to the absence of light and heavy machine gun artillery, the firepower density of the army equipped with 20-round semi-automatic rifles is not much worse than that of World War II, when the most advanced US officers and soldiers, including the famous brothers who have made countless TV movies, only used eight-round semi-automatic rifles.
If 20,000 people are equipped with semi-automatic rifles, then there will be one bullet left for live ammunition training per person per day - and the Song Dynasty has a population of more than 100 million troops and hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops alone, even if they can't all change their equipment, 100,000 should be there, and there is no one under a point.
When the time comes, Zhang Cheng will naturally beg for himself, and Zhang Cheng is very relieved about this - such a good weapon is not afraid that the Great Song army will not be addicted, and without sufficient ammunition supply, the rifle will become a burning stick.
In the end, Zhang Cheng got his wish and left with a bag of Zhao Ji's calligraphy and paintings and more than 100 pieces of official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty used by the imperial palace - if it is an ordinary person who uses the imperial porcelain, it is disrespectful, but the immortals are obviously not in the ranks of ordinary people. Before leaving, Zhang Cheng was still very kind and left an ambiguous sentence: "In October, you might as well send 3,000 new troops with different weapons to Hangzhou to garrison." If you're in a hurry, just call me before the painting. ”
Of course, Zhao Ji didn't understand when he heard this, Hangzhou was neither the front line of the Jin and Song wars nor the capital, but the most prosperous place in the rear except for Bianliang, and the new army had to be stationed and defended. But what the immortal master said is to do it, there is a way that cannot be revealed, and the immortal master has his own reason for saying this.
There is also that after Zhang Cheng left, the red wine bottle he threw in the pond was salvaged, washed and sent to the official Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji couldn't help but praise when he saw this beautiful bottle and said: "All the glassware is thrown away, which is worthy of the fairy family." ”
The Central Plains has always imported glassware from Hu merchants through the Silk Road, so before modern times, glassware has always been synonymous with luxury goods. Zhao Ji's palace also has a few pieces of glassware, but none of them are as beautiful as the pond wine bottle that Zhang Cheng threw away after drinking it all.
Zhang Cheng must have sold Fang La clean this time, but then again, Zhang Cheng's surname is Zhang, Fang La's surname is Fang, everyone can't play together, and this Fang La's calligraphy and painting are not sought after - even whether Fang La knows words is still a problem, and there is no official kiln porcelain at home.
After Zhang Cheng came back from the Great Song Dynasty in the painting this time, he first replaced all the utensils at home, hung the calligraphy and paintings of Song Huizong and Tang Bohu on the walls of each house, and the tableware and tea sets were also replaced by porcelain from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, and a Xuande furnace was placed on a cabinet in the hall - the incense burned on weekdays was made by Zhang Cheng with a trace amount of agarwood, ambergris and some sandalwood bark.
These appliances worth millions of dollars and tens of millions of dollars are placed at home for daily use, although there is a risk of damage and loss, but for Zhang Cheng, these things are not impossible to get and the cost is not so high, so it is relatively easy to accept.
