"Until Yang Jian's founding of the country, the family still has an absolute advantage in controlling the entire country. Yang Guang, who aspires to be the first emperor of the ages, naturally can't bear to be an emperor, but he still has to look at the face of the family. So Yang Guang went to Goryeo three times, even if he was infamous through the ages, he had to break the net with the family. When Yang Guang went south to conquer Chen, he scolded Fang Xuan, commanded Ruo Ding, and the art of war was strategic, all of which were selected. As a result, when the three expeditions to Goryeo were made, chaos was frequent, and in the face of a situation where it was almost impossible to fail, three times in a row, forcibly failed. It is to bury all the sons of the family who were recruited in the army. In order to do his best to weaken those families. ”

Among Yang Guang's many black materials, the failure of the Three Expeditions to Goryeo is the most incomprehensible. The others can be said to be arrogant and lascivious, but it is clear that as long as tens of thousands of troops can push Goryeo, Yang Guang has to pull hundreds of thousands of troops to go, and he is so idle?

After thinking about it, the women only felt that all the previous explanations of Hei Yangguang did not make sense in this matter, and only Hua Xue was the reason, although it was absurd, but there was really no flaw.

"In fact, at this time, the advantage that the family relied on to form a huge strength gap has gradually disappeared, but at that time, no one has noticed it."

"You mean the gradual scarcity of elixir? Why didn't anyone find out about such an obvious problem? ”

"The gradual scarcity of elixirs has been discovered by many people, but at that time, people were not aware of the difference in strength between the family and the people, which was related to the gradual lack of these elixirs. What they see is that the gap in strength between the family and the people is gradually increasing, so they are convinced in their hearts about the family's right to rule over the people. Some people even said that 'there is no thousand-year-old dynasty, only a thousand-year-old family'. Just like Qin Shi Huang back then, he thought that their rule would last forever. ”

"You mean, the scarcity of elixirs has made the gap between the strength of the family and the common people even more significant?"

"Yes, on the surface. With the gradual scarcity of elixir, the price of elixir naturally rose. And the higher the price of the elixir, the fewer families who can enjoy the elixir. The family without the elixir gradually became a poor family, and the power was taken over by the remaining wealthy families. There are fewer families that can afford the elixir, and the sphere of influence of each family will naturally increase, and on the surface, the power of each wealthy family is growing. But if we compare history, we will find that the individual strength of the people has not increased, but the number of the people has increased; In fact, the strength of the sons of the family has not increased, while the number of powerful people among them is declining. In this way, when the family faces the individual people, it has an advantage. But the family as a whole, when facing the entire group of people, the gap in strength between the two has begun to decrease, and even subvert.

"Take Datang as an example, any of the five surnames and seven families alone are all behemoths, even if they are royal, they can't please them alone. But when the emperor unified the whole world and coerced the whole world, even if the five surnames and seven families joined forces, they had to compromise.

"When the Maisons realized the problem, the advantage they relied on was suddenly gone: the price of the elixir gradually climbed, until one day, the price of the elixir was still high, but there was no longer a market. The family is still powerful, but they can't buy elixir even if they have money. Without the advantage of elixir, the advantage of inheritance has long been lost with the popularization of some poor families. In this way, the bonus of money to cultivation is no longer enough to surpass the bonus of talent to cultivation. With the population base of the family, compared to the vast number of people, the number of geniuses is insignificant. As a result, heroes started from recklessness, and many heroes who were not from the family stepped on the stage of history. They fought fiercely with the family in order to unite more friends and spread knowledge widely throughout the world. ”

"What are you talking about about the civilianization of the poor family? Hanmen is not a civilian? ”

"Hanmen is still an aristocracy, but it belongs to a failed aristocracy, a declining family. And when these cold families continue to decline, they are no longer nobles, but common people. In the whole process of decline, the power is gone, the wealth is gone, and only knowledge and inheritance are passed down from generation to generation. The original people who had the inheritance, except for those who were scattered by Confucius in those years, basically belonged to this kind. ”

"The family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the elixir is insufficient, don't you know how to cultivate? As long as it lasts for a hundred years, there will be a new elixir? ”

"So, do you think the spirit of the elixir is only because of the year?"

"Isn't it?"

"As I said before, when Lao Tzu was cultivating, he didn't need to worry about the lack of qi at all, but Confucius needed to take it from grains, but when it came to Mencius and Zhuangzi, the replenishment of external materials could not keep up at all, and he needed to find ways to practice qi by himself. Between heaven and earth, the aura suitable for cultivation is constantly dissipating, while plants can retain a part of the aura in the body to a certain extent, and continue to nourish it with the years. The reason why the elixir of the year is spiritual, the year is only a process of nourishment, first of all, the plant itself has intercepted a part of the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and that is the elixir. Otherwise, without that little bit of aura, no matter how old it is, it is just a medicine. ”

"I see. The aura between heaven and earth has long since dissipated, and only those elixirs that are old are still left, so the elixir that has been re-cultivated is not an elixir at all because it was born in an environment without aura. That's what it means, right? ”

Bian Min's mind opened up, and he suddenly asked: "You only said that plants can intercept a part of the aura from heaven and earth, will there be some gold and stone as well?" The original Wushisan was originally a special material that contained aura. But future generations don't know that if a material without aura is used, only toxicity remains? ”

Hua Xue was stunned for a moment, he didn't think about this guess, and communicated with the system before saying, "As far as I know, there are indeed some gems that contain aura." However, the conditions for formation are positive and special, and do not have universal significance. And most of the time, it is not that the gem itself can intercept the aura, but that a layer of material isolating the aura is wrapped around, so that the aura between heaven and earth escapes, and it does not affect the aura in this part of the gem. ”

When Bian Min heard this, he said to Hua Xue: "I'll just say how can there be an emperor who believes in such a thing as alchemy." When you say this, as long as the materials used in alchemy contain aura, the alchemy is actually peculiar. Let the emperor see such a sample, and he can naturally win his trust. In the real large-scale alchemy, the aura should have been forced out of the gold stone by the alchemist in the process of alchemy, so in addition to the samples at the beginning, the pills that were later presented to the emperor were just dregs without aura. ”
