Chapter 5 Towards Unification Section 81

"Since Huan and Ling, the yellow turban has advocated chaos, and the world has been fighting. Reduced to the age of Chuping and Jian'an, Dong Zhuo rebelled, and he was abused by Ji and Yan; Yuan Shu was named Yu Shouchun, Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, and Han Sui Ma Teng devoured Yongliang: thieves swarmed, traitors and eagles rose, the society was in danger of accumulating eggs, and the creatures were in urgent need of hanging upside down. In the middle of the trickle, the eunuchs are in charge, the officials and bandits collude, the people are complaining, and life is miserable. Everyone in the world says: The great man's spirit has been exhausted, and he is about to change the dynasty again. In Guangrao City, Liu Bei faced Cao Cao and Sun Quan and talked eloquently.

Liu Bei's outspokenness made the Son of Heaven on the side shrink in cringe. And Sun Quan was slightly happy, and Cao Cao did not move.

"Why is it that when the political situation in the world is slightly corrupted, people don't think about how to get rid of the malpractices and make great efforts, but they first think of changing the dynasty?" Liu Bei glanced at everyone, everyone's eyes dodged, and no one answered.

"Because after the change of dynasty, I can be the emperor?" Liu Bei had no choice but to ask and answer himself.

"Why does everyone want to be emperor? - Because the emperor's authority is supreme, and all the industries in the world are royal private property, the emperor has supreme rights, but he does not need to bear a spoonful of responsibility for the people of the world. - No one answered Liu Bei's words, so Liu Bei had to continue.

As soon as the regime collapsed, he thought of changing the dynasty, and the theoretical basis for this is the "Five Virtues Always Say", which believes that the entire material world is composed of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and that the development and change of things are achieved through the mutual growth of the five elements and the mutual restraint of the five elements. The dynastic changes and changes in human history, like the natural world, are carried out in the order of Tude, Jinde, Huode, Shuide, and Mude, which is an objective necessity. When a dynasty accumulates too many ills, they don't think about how to get rid of them. But he wants to say: It's time to change the dynasty again.

For them, it doesn't matter who changes the dynasty - Han Chinese, foreign races, Genghis Khan or Nurhachi doesn't matter, even Tufeiyuan or Yamamoto Fifty-six. As long as you seize the opportunity to surrender to the strong - even if you are a traitor, it is also in line with the cycle of five virtues. ”

Seeing that he was talking empty, and the people on both sides lazily didn't care at all, Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Is that really the case?" ”

Cao Cao was silent. The Emperor was terrified. Sun Quan replied first: "What the ancient sages said, there must be a reason. Wude has always said that I have never heard of its fallacy. ”

Liu Bei smiled lightly and said: "The five virtues always say - don't seek to understand, absurd and bizarre; Shirk responsibility and avoid difficulties. ”

Cao Cao was moved: "What the public says, slander the sages." Why? ”

Liu Bei was arrogant and roared: "Okay, let's take a look at how "Five Virtues Always Say" is absurd and bizarre without seeking to understand. ”

"The so-called five elements are: wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood; The so-called five elements of mutual restraint are: gold and wood, wood and earth, earth and water, water and fire, fire and gold, and so on. Liu Bei looked contemptuous and continued: "Wood makes fire, how can wood make fire? Drill wood for fire also. Still, is it wood that can make a fire? Or, can only wood make a fire? Can Kim make a fire? Can earth make a fire? Who can make a fire?

In the era of drilling wood for fire, it is true that only wood can make fire. Come on, first drill wood to make fire for a few princes. Liu Bei then maliciously told the performers that those people were all scholars from Qingzhou Higher School: "Children, be dedicated to your performance." In the era of drilling wood for fire, bronze ware was not yet popular, clothes were not sewn, and actors wore animal skins and simply pierced them. The performance should be professional, and the costumes must be in line with the times at that time. No half of iron or bronze is allowed. ”

Liu Bei's ridicule made Sun Quan angry, he lowered his voice, held back his anger and said, "Xuande Gong, we are not here to watch you drill wood. ”

Liu Bei put away his smile, stared at Sun Quan, and said word by word: "I'll let you see the earth fire right away!" Gold makes fire, and even water makes fire - who said that water overcomes fire, I let water make fire today! ”

"What", as soon as Liu Bei's words came out, everyone was shocked. Cao Cao's face also changed.

"Come, come out of the soil and give me the flint to come out, and show the flint to make fire for the princes."

The flint makes fire, and everyone vaguely knows, but they didn't expect Liu Bei to use it as an example that soil can also make fire. After thinking about it, flint comes from the earth, and it is definitely not considered gold, water, wood, or fire in the five elements, but only earth.

"Jin Shenghuo, how do you say it?" Cao Cao didn't believe it.

"When two swords strike, there will be sparks. It's a pity that this spark can't light firewood. However, after research, Qingzhou Academy finally developed a fire knife and a fire sickle, and the fire knife and fire sickle are used to make fire, which is twice as good as drilling wood to make fire. Liu Bei took the two copper knives handed by the students, and the two knives struck each other, and a ball of fire burned upwards from the handle of the knife.

The production of fire knives and scythes is actually very simple, China has a rich deposit of "monazite", and this "monazite" is a rare earth element. It is crushed, soaked in acid and then soaked in alkali, and the last remaining metal sludge that is insoluble in acid or alkali is a sludge rich in rare earth elements. These muds are mixed with zinc, lead and copper to make modern "flintstones". Liu Bei's two knives were made in this way, but in order to enhance the burning effect, Liu Bei had people sprinkle sulfur powder and charcoal powder on the knives in advance.

"Jin Shenghuo", Liu Bei stretched out his knife in front of everyone and showed them one by one. I also thought to myself: "If the technology permits, I will make a piece of metal sodium, let you see the spontaneous combustion of the metal, and make you even more speechless." ”

"Let's see if water makes fire", Liu Bei chased after the victory: "Ice, out of water and cold in water." There are two ways to make a fire from water. One is to make ice into a convex lens and use it to light firewood; The other makes use entirely of a type of water – a special oil-water (condensate, similar to gasoline). It is clear and transparent, similar to a clear spring, which is produced by our Qingzhou Oil Spring (where the Shengli oil field is located), and we use stirring to speed up its flow and let it spontaneously combust (friction combustion). ”

The student who had previously drilled wood for fire came to report wearing animal skins: "Lord Jun, drilling wood for fire has been completed. ”

Liu Bei waved his hand: "Put it up." ”

Four braziers were placed in front of them in turn: wood for fire, earth for fire, gold for fire, and water for fire. Let everyone be stunned.

"The five elements are born together", Liu Bei kept the four braziers in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Can only wood make a fire?" How can this be explained? ”

In the midst of everyone's stunned, Liu Bei threw a bombshell again, he took a large empty flask, uncorked the bottle, and poured the object in the bottle into the brazier where the wood was drilled for fire. "How can wood make fire? Can wood really make a fire? ”

Amazingly—the fire was gradually extinguished. Everyone was inexplicably frightened, Cao Cao forced himself to calm down, and Sun Quan muttered: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts." The Son of Heaven was slightly happy.
