The almost transparent beef and mutton changed color as soon as it was scalded in the pot, and Li Kui immediately couldn't wait to go down with chopsticks, sandwiched half of the plate, and then dipped some sesame paste and swallowed it into the blood basin.

"It's delicious."

Li Kui chewed it twice, swallowed it, shouted hello, and stretched his chopsticks into the pot again.

When everyone heard this, they immediately started to move.

Chao Yong was reserved for a moment, and then saw Lin Chong looking at the empty pot in a daze.

The hot pot is delicious, but it is a bit slow for a group of big men who can eat a few catties of meat in a meal, and they are dried up before they get out of the pot. The vegetables put in were all half-cooked and cleaned by everyone.

Even so, everyone was full of praise and asked about the method of sesame paste.

Now they are all big households, there are dozens of people in the family, and if they want to eat hot pot, they can make it at home, as long as there is a recipe.

Chao Yong was not stingy, and asked the imperial chef to copy the recipe at the bottom of the pot and give one to each person.

Twenty or so people ate a few cows and sheep before putting down their chopsticks.

Chao Yong's steamed liquor has also been liked by most people, and a fierce person like Wu Song can no longer drink a bowl of water. However, the amount of alcohol of Wu Song and others was still much more than Chao Yong's surprise, and Chao Yong originally thought that people who drank spirits for the first time would be able to eat a pound.

Unexpectedly, Wu Song, Li Kui, Liu Tang, and Ruan Xiaoqi all ate more than two catties before they got drunk, and Ruan Xiaoqi and several others also ate more than one catty.

When the banquet was dispersed, most of the people at the two tables had already been emptied, so Chao Yong asked his soldiers to send back all the drunk people.

After the banquet, Chao Yong only left Lin Chong, Xu Guanzhong, and Zhu Wu.

Chao Yong was eating the sobering soup while telling him about his preparations to destroy the Ten Thousand Sects and go down to the south of the Yangtze River one by one.

When Lin Chong heard that he wanted him to lead his troops to destroy Wang Qing alone, he immediately said: "As long as 50,000 soldiers help, it is enough to wipe out Wang Qing." ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "The crown prince has swept away the Western Xia, and he has already shocked the world, and as soon as General Lin's soldiers and horses arrive, many people will think of surrendering." The combination of suppression and appeasement should be able to exterminate Wang Qing with fewer casualties. ”

Lin Chong nodded and said, "Wang Qing's subordinates are all Han Chinese, and I will not kill them all for the sake of military exploits." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "The heroes see the same, Ningxia Road needs a large number of Han people to assimilate the party members, and those who are held hostage by Wang Qing can move them to Ningxia Road to reclaim fields." ”

Zhu Wudao: "The Southern soldiers have always been weak, and the Southern Song Dynasty has not been able to organize the army for a long time, so it is easy to sweep away the Southern Song Dynasty. Only Na Lu Shi has engulfed hundreds of thousands of people, and among them there are Manichaean elites, I am afraid it will take some effort. ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said: "The people are willing to follow Manichaeism, but it is because compared to the Song Dynasty. Manichaeism was less taxed. However, my Daliang is exempt from all agricultural taxes and forced labor, which is more attractive than Manichaeism, and the people who are willing to follow Lu Shilang to fight against my Daliang should not be too large. The remaining Manichaean cultists can also use Fang Jie and Shi Bao to divide the Manichaean cultists, and it will not be too difficult to dominate the world. ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "I want to wipe out the Ten Thousand Sects, if I use Fang Jie and Shi Bao to divide the Manichaean sect, it will be difficult to deal with this part of the people at that time." ”

Xu Guanzhong heard Chao Yong say this, and he didn't want to say anything more.

Most of the heroes throughout the ages are black-hearted, and they won't blink their eyes when they cross the river and tear down the bridge. Chao Yong was reluctant to break his promise. There is no workability in this matter. Although he does not believe in any religion, he knows that Manichaeism is definitely more demagogic than Buddhism and Taoism, and if he openly and honestly says to the Manichaean followers, he will ban the inheritance of Manichaeism in the future, even if they all know that Lu Shisang has harmed the Holy Aunt. Nor will the girder be surrendered.

It is also difficult for him to persuade Chao Yong to be a black-hearted person, not to mention that the general trend of the world has been decided, and the prince does not have to do anything that is not good for his reputation.

Chao Yong said with a smile: "The main force of Manichaeism has been annihilated by the Western Army, and Master Lu is only a partial division. It won't take much effort to wipe them out. The armies will rest for half a month, and at the beginning of next month, the two soldiers and horses will go out together, and maybe they will be able to dominate the world this year. ”

The three of them didn't have much objection. Thinking of the speed at which the beam swept away the world, I was also very proud.

After exchanging views on the military affairs, Chao Yong asked everyone about their views on the extermination of the religion.

Lin Chong said: "Over the years, there have been a lot of scum in both Buddhism and Taoism, and various illusions have been constantly performed in Tokyo, and many of the techniques of the two Buddhism and Taoism in the past have also been exposed, and there will be no big chaos if you want to destroy the Ten Thousand Sects." ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said: "There have been many times of Buddha destruction in previous dynasties, as long as the foundation of the imperial court is solid, religion will not be able to set off any storms." Although my Great Liang has just opened the country, the preferential treatment of the people has never been seen in previous dynasties. Even if those religions wanted to make trouble, there would not be many people willing to follow them. When the people's livelihood is not difficult, who wants to rebel with those religions. ”

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "The crown prince is now the only true god in the world, and when it comes to choosing between true gods and false gods, few people should choose the wrong one." ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "If the prince can get some miracles, no one will question the prince's decision." ”

"What miracle?"

Xu Guanzhong thought for a while and said: "Now everyone believes that the prince is a god descending from heaven, mainly because the prince is invincible and has invented gunpowder with amazing power. But these are still a little less shocking to the people, in their hearts, the prince is more like a god of war than the kind of omnipotent god. ”

Chao Yong also knew that Xu Guanzhong was a little unconvinced, so he asked him to bring the dictionary and mathematics that he had finished, as well as some physics books he had written.

Hundreds of finished dictionaries and mathematics have been printed, so Chao Yong asked He Yong to send a dictionary and mathematics to each of the three of them.

Chao Yong smiled: "There is nothing new in the dictionary, but there is an additional phonetic method, which I think is more accurate and simple than the current reverse tangent." Mathematics uses new numbers and symbols, as well as new arithmetic methods that make calculations easier. ”

Xu Guanzhong opened the dictionary and math and looked at it, and he couldn't help but doubt in his heart, he didn't believe that the prince was a god in the past. But after reading these two books, he couldn't help but waver. Since the prince dared to write a book, then pinyin and mathematics are a mature knowledge, at least there will be no mistakes in it, otherwise once it is discovered, it will be difficult to justify itself, then it will be difficult to promote these things. And a mature knowledge often takes many generations to perfect, he has never heard of these things before, and it is impossible for the prince to create them whimsically.

Could it be that these things really come from heaven?

Chao Yong looked at Xu Guanzhong's shocked look with satisfaction. He handed some physics books in his hand to Xu Guanzhong, and said, "This is another science I have written, called physics, which reveals the laws of all things in the world. ”

Although Chao Yong is a college student, he can't systematically remember the textbooks of his previous life, so he can only get a physics book with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and wait for the books that will be plundered from the West in the future to be filled. He wrote mathematics and physics with a beginner in front of it. It is also to tell people that there will be intermediate and advanced levels in the future. Of course, if Chao Yong can't get the follow-up knowledge, the intermediate and advanced levels can only wait for future generations to complete it.

All Chao Yong has to do is to bring science to China, let it take root, and it will naturally grow slowly in the future. Instead of completely teaching a profound science to the world, there are no conditions to verify advanced science at this time, and many things cannot be explained at all. It can only be that the disciplines develop slowly and push each other forward.

Xu Guanzhong took the physics book written by Chao Yong and skimmed at it, which contained a description of the principles. There are also designed experiments that can be verified, and it seems that this knowledge can be verified by experiments. But those conclusions seem to be a bit unreliable, and this experiment is actually to verify that two objects of different weights fall at the same speed.

He subconsciously felt that the heavier the thing should fall faster, but he also felt that the prince dared to write something that was so easy to verify right or wrong. You should be absolutely sure.

Xu Guanzhong secretly decided to do an experiment after he went back, and then what he translated later was actually buoyancy, water has buoyancy, and qi also has buoyancy.

The buoyancy chapter has just begun. Experiments were also not designed.

Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but be curious: "The water has buoyancy, we can swim in the water." But if qi also has buoyancy, why can't we float? ”

Chao Yong smiled: "If the air is not buoyant. How did Kong Ming lanterns fly? ”

When Xu Guanzhong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Everyone in the world knows that Kong Ming lanterns can fly, but the reason is not very clear.

Xu Guanzhong couldn't say why, and when he heard Chao Yong use Kong Ming lanterns to explain the buoyancy of the air, he also felt that there was some truth. But after thinking about it, he said, "Then why can it only be raised after the fire is lit?" ”

Chao Yong smiled: "The stone can't float in the water, but the stone can float when you put it on the boat, this is because the buoyancy is greater than gravity, so it can float, and if you keep putting stones on the boat, it will sink the boat." Before ignition, the gravity of the Kong Ming lantern is greater than the buoyancy, so it naturally cannot float. When a fire is lit, the nearby air expands when heated, decreases in density, and rises to squeeze out the cold air from the Hung Ming lantern. When the gravity in the Kong Ming lantern is less than the buoyancy given to him by the air, the Kong Ming lantern will also rise. ”

Although Xu Guanzhong is smart, he is still confused by a series of words such as thermal expansion and density.

Chao Yong looked at Xu Guanzhong with a blank expression, and knew that he didn't understand, so he said with a smile: "When I compile the book, you can read it slowly, in fact, it is not difficult to understand." ”

Zhu Wu suddenly said: "The ship can carry people, so can Kong Ming Lantern carry people?" ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Of course you can, as long as you make a larger hot air balloon to carry people." ”

When Zhu Wu heard this, he immediately said: "If the hot air balloon flies higher than the nest car, then you can use the hot air balloon instead of the nest car to watch the enemy." ”

Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "A hot air balloon can fly up to a few thousand zhang, but we may not be able to make such a hot air balloon. ”

Zhu Wu was thinking more about the battle formation, and said with a wild look: "If we can control the direction and take-off and landing of the hot air balloon, and carry some fire and thunder on it, then we can bombard the enemy from overhead." ”

Lin Chong and Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.

As soon as the army was assembled, a thunderbolt suddenly fell overhead, and in the loud explosion, the people around were torn apart, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the flying pieces of iron killed and injured everyone in the distance. Under the bombardment of fire and thunder, the soldiers and horses that had just assembled fell into confusion and even collapsed.

This is the real divine thunder.

Just thinking about it, the two felt that such a combination was enough to influence the situation on the battlefield.

Chao Yong had ridden in a hot air balloon when he traveled in later generations, so he knew some knowledge about hot air balloons. The direction of the wind at different altitudes in the air is different, and the hot air balloon changes the direction by adjusting the height of the hot air balloon with the help of the wind in different directions. But knowing doesn't mean you can do it, everything needs to be experimented to know how far you can do it now.

Chao Yong smiled: "Theoretically, it can be done, but all of this requires a lot of experiments. But it's easy to get a hot air balloon to fly. ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "If you can fly with people, it will be much easier for the prince to destroy the sect." As long as the prince announces the principle of hot air balloons later, the people will definitely think that this is the prince's god-man method when they see people flying into the air. No religion can make people fly. Only the crown prince can make people fly. The prince said that they were all fake, and the people would naturally think they were fake. When the ten thousand religions are destroyed, the prince will explain this principle, and then no one will remember those religions except for a few people. ”

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "The prince doesn't need to say anything, so he pretended to be an experimental hot air balloon in the military department, and accidentally ran out of the camp and let the people see it." As long as the prince didn't explain, they would naturally regard it as a miracle. ”

Chao Yong has decided to popularize science, so naturally he doesn't want to pretend to be a god anymore. Hearing that Zhu Wu could free him, he also nodded secretly.

Xu Guanzhong said: "We can do both. On the one hand, he created a god and made the image of the prince and god deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, he exposed some common religious deceptive spells and made the people doubt religion. Gongsun Sheng knew a lot about those Taoist techniques, and asked him to say some deceptive spells that Buddhism and Taoism used to make people in the world doubt Buddhism. ”

Shi Qian jumped down from the beam of the house and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that directly exposing them will startle the snake, so it's better to catch a few deceitful monks and Taoist priests out, and then publish their ghost tricks in the Di Bao." It won't be too noticeable that way. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "It seems that you have found a lot of deceitful monks and Taoist priests. ”

"There are a few of them in Tokyo, and after I heard their teachings, I was very curious and secretly followed them a few times. also figured out their tricks. In fact, they are the same as Taoist priests who perform illusions, if they don't prepare the props in advance, they can't deceive people. ”

Chao Yong didn't expect that just after he fell asleep, someone brought a pillow. Xidao: "Okay." Then take these people down, and then publish an issue of the Di newspaper to expose their deception. Plus some common charlatans. ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "Since the prince's mathematics has been written, why not take advantage of this time to go to Taixue to give a lecture." As long as this mathematics is really practical, it is bound to cause a sensation. If you do some physics experiments, everyone in the world will wonder if these knowledge comes from heaven. ”

Chao Yong really has no other suitable answer to this question except that it comes from heaven. If he is from the Hereafter, it is obviously more difficult to believe than from heaven. The people of this era believed in ghosts and gods, but they did not yet have the concept of traveling through time and space. If it is the knowledge of the world, Chao Yong has no face to say that he has researched it, and no one will believe it. I want to find a school, but I'm afraid of being exposed. The safest way to say it is from heaven.

Chao Yong is also very helpless about this matter, on the one hand, he wants to open his eyes to understand the world and destroy ghosts and gods, but on the other hand, he wants to spread science under the guise of gods.

These two were originally opposites, but Chao Yong also had to admit that spreading science under the guise of the gods would get twice the result with half the effort, and even if he didn't bother to promote, there would be people who would try their best to obtain the knowledge of the gods.

"Okay, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will start a lecture in Taixue. I have printed five hundred books, and I will send them out, lest they become moldy in my place. ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "I will definitely go to listen to the lecture then, and I will not return this book." ”

Zhu Wu and Lin Chong also said, "We'll go too." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "For you." This mathematics is very useful, and all the accounts of the royal ticket number are made of mathematical numeric symbols. ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "I'm afraid it won't be long before all industries will use the knowledge in mathematics." ”

Everyone chatted for a while, and when they saw that the prince had no other orders, they got up and took their leave.

Lin Chong and Chao Yong were also not polite, and said with a smile: "The steamed wine I ate today is strong enough, when will the prince steam it again and send some to me." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Steaming wine is also simple, I'll go back and ask someone to make a still and send it to your house, you can steam it yourself and drink it." ”

The Great Liang and Song dynasties generally forbade the people to brew and sell wine privately, but this law is not unreasonable, and the people can still brew some of their own drinks. It is not difficult to make wine, many people do, but the sake made by themselves is naturally not as good as that made by professional brewers, so most people do not make their own sake and eat it. Of course, many powerful people will still brew their own wine, and the people who make wine for them are also professional winemakers, and many powerful people made wine in the Song Dynasty not only for their own consumption, but also for sale.

Lin Chong was about to laugh, but Xu Guanzhong next to him suddenly said, "No." ”

Chao Yong inherited Chao Gai's generosity, so everyone in Liangshan dared to speak. Otherwise, no matter how good the friendship is, when you meet a stingy person, opening your mouth can only destroy the relationship with each other.

One asks for it, and the other is willing to give. No one expected Xu Guanzhong to jump out to stop him, and couldn't help but look at Xu Guanzhong strangely.

Xu Guanzhong hurriedly said: "Spirits can bring huge income, and people in the north love to eat spirits. In the past, they didn't buy a lot of our wine because they could make it too, but the wine they made was just as strong as the wine on the market today. If they were given a taste of the spirit, they would buy it in large quantities. As long as they can't make spirits, they can sell them as much as they want, and in the future, they may earn more than tea. ”

Chao Yong frowned and said: "But this steamed wine is not difficult, as long as you leak some rumors, you can find out." ”

"It's not that far from Kong Ming Lantern to the hot air balloon, but if the prince doesn't say it, no one thinks about it. It's the same with this steamed wine, as long as you keep an eye on everyone who knows, I'm afraid that no one else will think of it in a short time. (To be continued......)
