Wang Anshi was silent in front of the table for a long time, and finally suppressed the shocking mood, he hoarse voice, looked at the thing with complicated eyes, and said, "What is this?" ”

Li Xiaodao replied with a smile: "It's called a microscope." ”

Wang Anshi recited the name of "microscope" several times, nodded and said: "I can see the end of the dust, a good name." ”

Li Xiaodao knew that just relying on a microscope could not bring anything substantial.

It's just the beginning, the purpose is to make people realize the nature of the world for the first time, and what Li Xiaodao wants to show next is what can really bring about a real change in the country.

Li Xiaodao walked sideways: "There is still one thing in the poor road, but this room is too small to display." ”

Wang Anshi's interest was also aroused, and he was very curious about what kind of strange things this mysterious Taoist priest would bring after letting him witness the nature of heaven and earth.

Come to the courtyard.

Li Xiaodao slapped the gourd with his hand, and suddenly something as strange as a carriage appeared in the open space in the courtyard.

Li Xiaodao said with a smile: "This thing is called a steam engine. ”

Wang Anshi stroked his beard, stepped forward to take a look, and found that there were some things that he could also call famous, and said thoughtfully: "There are such things as gears in this, which can be moved." ”

Li Xiaodao smiled lightly: "Xiangye will know at a glance. ”

As he spoke, a flame lit out between Li Xiaodao's fingers and entered the underside of the steam engine.

Wang Anshi then discovered that there was a small hole under this thing, and there were some dark stones in it.

This is coal.

Coal is not unusual, and there have long been people and workshops that use it for heating, kiln burning, iron smelting, etc.

And when Li Xiaodao lit the coal, the machine stopped there quietly.

Wang Anshi wanted to ask, but seeing that Li Xiaodao was smiling and silent, he simply stood and watched from the side, wanting to see what the role of this thing was.

About half an hour passed, and Wang Anshi heard the sound of "coo-dong" water boiling, and then his eyes widened.

But I saw that the strange thing that looked like a horse-drawn carriage actually turned its wheels automatically.

Wang Anshi immediately cried out: "Why is this? Why does it move on its own? ”

He subconsciously thought of this Taoist priest's spell.

Seeing this, Li Xiaodao quickly extinguished the flames, then released steam, pointed at the gases, and said with a smile: "This is the power of water vapor." ”

Wang Anshi looked at the water vapor that kept coming out, and the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his mind suddenly became blank.

After a long time, he reacted, stared at the machine, and said in a trembling voice: "It...... Does it only need coal and water to function? Can you move on your own? ”

Li Xiaodao nodded and smiled: "Xiangye should understand the meaning of this thing, right?" ”

How could Wang Anshi not understand that although it was the first time he had seen such a thing, the waterwheel used for irrigation in the field, and besides, the ancient mechanism technique was also very similar to this steam engine, but the difference was that the most important thing was ......

This thing doesn't need to be built on the side of a river like a waterwheel, it can work anywhere it moves.

How much manpower would be saved for such a machine, which only needs coal and water vapor to operate.

And only need to mass-produce this thing, and the transformation that this thing can bring to the Great Song Dynasty will be huge.

Wang Anshi couldn't imagine what kind of earth-shaking changes this thing would cause if it was used in the right place.

After all, Wang Anshi is still limited by the times, and time can't think of more.

He was extremely excited at this time, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, prepare to change clothes, the old man wants to face the saint." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Xiaodao excitedly: "Please also ask the Taoist chief to go with me to meet the saint." ”

Li Xiaodao smiled and nodded, this was what he had planned, and he immediately said: "Actually, this is just one of the things that Poor Dao wants to offer to the imperial court. ”

The rest of the things, and the real use of the steam engine, will be explained in detail when he meets the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Anshi was overjoyed when he heard Li Xiaodao's words.

And also?

"Good! Good! It just so happened that the Taoist Elder and the old man were invited to go with him to meet the Holy Lord, and explain the details. ”

Wang Anshi couldn't wait to present this thing in front of the emperor.

If this thing is used well, how much silver can be turned into and what a huge value it creates.

The lives of the people and the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty will usher in unprecedented changes because of this small machine.

The subordinates in the mansion were puzzled when they heard the prime minister's shout of joy, but they naturally couldn't care about the master's affairs, so they immediately prepared the court clothes and other things for Wang Anshi.

After making preparations, Wang Anshi found two carriages, and after the three of them got into the carriages, they went straight to the imperial city.

There was a notice that the prime minister of the dynasty opened the way, and immediately, the Shenzong in the deep palace knew that Wang Anshi had brought a mysterious Taoist priest, and he also claimed to have brought him an incomparably rich gift.

The curious Divine Sect immediately announced that the three of them had an audience.

In this way, the three of them came all the way to the Chengde Hall.

In the main hall.

As Wang Anshi, as the prime minister, Shenzong had already exempted him from worship.

Li Xiaodao then made a joke in the hall and said, "The people outside the square have seen Your Majesty." ”

Sitting on the golden steps, Shenzong was a young man who was similar in age to Li Xiaodao.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty were generally not very old, because none of them lived long, and according to history, this Emperor Shenzong died at the age of thirty-eight.

Shenzong raised his hand lightly and said, "The Taoist doesn't need to be polite, I listened to what the king said, the Taoist has something to offer to me, what is it?" ”

Li Xiaodao chuckled, patted the gourd on his waist, and the gourd spit out several things in a row, and they all fell in this hall.

Seeing that this Dao Sect Master actually spit out so many things from the gourd, for a moment, Divine Sect's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

Excitement appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Dao Chang is really a master in the world. ”

Isn't the scene he saw in front of him the mysterious immortal magic like the immortal spell "Sun and Moon in the Pot" recorded in ancient books.

Li Xiaodao's face was calm, and he said: "Poor Dao, these are just small skills, they can't stabilize the country, they are just small Dao ears, and Poor Dao brings these things to Your Majesty, which is the real road to a rich country and peaceful people." ”

Shenzong was also interested in Li Xiaodao's description, and besides, the people brought by Wang Anshi showed that Wang Anshi had naturally seen the ability of these things earlier.

He trusts Wang Anshi a lot, which means that these things are really that powerful.

Shenzong looked at the many strange things in the main hall, pointed and asked, "What is the effect of these things brought by the Dao Chief?" Let's talk about it for me. ”

Li Xiaodao paused, pointed to the machine in the hall, smiled lightly, and spat out amazing words:

"These things can allow His Majesty to sweep away Liuhe and dominate the world! Kaiyu Inner Yasushi! ”

I was shocked to hear Li Xiaodao's arrogant words.

For a moment, Shenzong's body trembled.

However, this is the person brought by Wang Anshi, and it is naturally highly credible.

He asked in a trembling voice, "When...... Seriously!! ”

And Wang Anshi had only seen a steam engine, but he didn't expect that Li Xiaodao could say such an arrogant thing.

His eyes widened for a while, staring at Li Xiaodao in disbelief, and he regretted a little in his heart, how could he bring a madman to face the saint.
