Chapter 168: The Life of the Red Buddha (10)
Li Weigong and Hongfu escaped from Luoyang City and fled north, while the bearded man chased after them. www.biquge.info Li Jing said that he had some friends in Taiyuan City and could settle down. So they walked on the road that was crushed by the wheels, and the passing cars kept pouring muddy water on them, so they didn't walk long. They became like the clay models made by the sculptor, tired of walking and resting for a while, and they were covered with cracks. This is because it had rained not long ago, and if it hadn't rained, it would have been a different sight: dust everywhere, and passing cars were sowing dust so that every pedestrian looked like a flour worker who had not left work. If I had been born in the Great Sui Dynasty, I would have chosen a rainy day to go on the road, because the dirty spots are nothing, but I don't want to get silicosis. It rains or not, one thing is the same, as long as the fugitive escapes to the road, you never want to get him back. So Wei Gong and Hongfu were very relieved, and they didn't expect that there were still people following them. Walking on the road, the world is in chaos. The two of them went to Taiyuan to join the army. And the bearded man followed him to Taiyuan, but he didn't get the opportunity to get close to the red whisk, so he felt bored, so he went to Jisang. That's how the three of them left Luoyang.
Leaving Luoyang City means the end of their previous lives for the Three Heroes of Wind and Dust, which is no different to anyone. But each of them had a different content in their previous lives. When Li Jing left Luoyang, he could no longer see those muddy streets, the tall and short pedestrians on the streets, and he could no longer go to the winery street covered with wine lees to find the small and delicate Li Erniang. He no longer had a taxi house of his own, and he could no longer smell the smell of urine in the house. It's all over. The old game is over, and it's time to start a new one. But Li Weigong has always been reluctant to give up on Luoyang City, because he has not won in this game of Luoyang City. No matter what game you're in, it's fun to win one game and then start the next. And only those who lose their bets will cling to the old way of gambling. If he was admitted to the doctorate here, was in charge of the project, embezzled the engineering fee (the doctorate was to be in charge of the project, and the project was to embezzle the engineering fee), and then asked a small family of jasper as his wife, he might be more proud when he escaped. Li Weigong had to leave Luoyang City, and at this time his heart was full of the feeling of being eliminated. So he started a new game with a sense of chagrin. He had long forgotten what kind of game he had escaped from - here he was almost crushed and made into a bun. If he had remembered this, he would not have worked so hard to build Chang'an City in the future.
The bearded man trudged hard in the muddy water, his whole body was cold, and he thought about the noodle soup in Yang's mansion. When I was a guest under Yang Sumen, if the weather was humid, I would eat noodle soup at night. The soup contains noodles as wide as a child's belt, and contains not only white noodles, but also buckwheat noodles. The soup is made of shredded seaweed, shrimp skin, coriander, etc., and with pepper, it is very delicious. Later, when he wanted to eat this kind of thing in Fusang, he couldn't eat it, because he couldn't speak Fusang, and the Fuso cook had a very bad temper, so when he heard him say a few words, he shoved the kitchen knife into his hand and said, "Do it yourself!" and then ran out and committed suicide. So he will never be able to eat this food again. When he was eating noodles in Yang's house, he held an oak barrel in his hand - porcelain was used by nobles, lacquerware was used by women, so the doormen used wood, and people like him who practiced martial arts had a large amount of food, so they used a small bucket, so they were ridiculed as rice buckets, but it didn't matter, the capacity of the barrel was large, and the things that were filled could be eaten. There are rules for eating in Yang's mansion, and women are not allowed to make noise when eating, because they may eat at the same table as nobles, and the guests must smack their lips when they eat, because they are not nobles. So they were ridiculed as a herd of pigs. But none of that mattered, he could eat what he wanted anyway. When he was staring at the tip of the red breeze, he was so half-hearted, and he wanted to go forward and go back to Luoyang. But he continued to move forward in the muddy water, staring at Hong Fu and Li Jing, who were also in the muddy water. Anyway, he didn't want to go back to the garden of the Yang Mansion, chewing bast shoes and sitting on the ground, sneakily peeking at women. At that time, he wanted to snatch the red whisk into his hand, but for some reason, he later forgot about it. The reason for the bearded man to leave Luoyang may be jealousy, or it may be desperate love, no matter what it is, this kind of strong feeling appears in the almost wooden bearded prince, which is really strange enough.
Leaving Luoyang City meant that she would never see the stone roads in Yang's Mansion again, the verdant pine trees without trunks, the bedroom on the stone upper floor, and the big oak barrel in the corner of the house. She didn't feel any frustration at all. This incident reminds me of leaving home at the age of sixteen to cut in line. Cutting in line is bad enough for fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, because it means not having enough to eat, not getting medical care, not adapting to the climate, and so on. Soon after they went, some people died. In any case, a condition that allows a part of an experimental animal to die is bad enough for a living animal. But those of us left home to cut in line without any sadness. We thought we had left the north and gone to the tropics, and that something interesting was going to happen to us. This shows that we are all too young. When Hongfu left Luoyang, it wasn't much older than when I went to cut in line. For someone her age, leaving a city that she has lived in for a long time is not like aborting an old game and starting a new one. Because for her, the old innings didn't start either.
This part of the book is about Li Weigong. I said a long time ago that I am not the same person as Wei Gong. He was much more energetic than I was - even though we were both mathematicians. After escaping from Luoyang City, he fought in the Tang army and was known for his energy. At that time, Red Whisk fought side by side with him, but he was not as famous, although Red Whisk killed no fewer enemies than he killed. In battle, Red Whisk wears a leather armor, rides a pony, and sits on a side saddle, - it is not possible to ride a horse like a normal warrior, and a woman who straddles her horse with her legs apart will be laughed at by the enemy, and - holds a small bow and arrows in her hand. In this way, the horse could not fight the enemy head-on, and it was easy to twist the neck, so the horse moved forward with dance steps on its side, and the red whisk sat upright to meet the enemy head-on. Such a horsemanship enemy will also applaud when he sees it, and before he knows it, he is within the range of the bow and arrow. Red Bend the bow, fire, pose wonderfully, then wave goodbye to his targets and return to his own formation. The other party unknowingly fell down in the applause, because she shot very accurately. This style of combat is very feminine, and although it is very effective, the enemy is not afraid. The way Wei Gong fought was male, he was dressed in iron armor, standing on an eight-horse chariot, like a god, dancing with iron wolf teeth, roaring like thunder, charging into battle. In particular, it should be pointed out that at this time, Wei Gong's male roots are directly exposed, very conspicuous, and very presumptuous. No matter who sees it, they can't help but want to slash up. It should be noted that it is not only the enemy who cuts up, but also his comrades, because not everyone admires him. After a slash, there are always sparks and cracks, and if the knife is not bent, it will be considered a good fight. As for the blade, it is naturally a mess. But to put it bluntly, it's not so great, because it's not actually Wei Gong's male root, but a solid iron rod, the shape is exactly the same as the male root, and the outside has been painted with color. As long as you don't use electric welding, no one can do anything. He wore an iron painted mask on his face, which also resembled his face, but not as intimidating as the one below. On the battlefield, an arrow shot at him in the face and was bounced back, but he exclaimed: What a thick cheek! If a knife slashes at that place and breaks the knife, he will be terrified and flee in the wilderness. Because of this, he has the reputation of the first strange man in the army. Someone always asked: General Li, aren't you tired of standing up all day long? Wei Gong replied: When there is a war, it is like this, and I don't know why. Therefore, Li Jing is respected as the god of the army (it is better to say that Li Weigong's **** is respected as the god of the army), and the clouds are straight up. Therefore, he felt very proud, and he did not take off the guard at night when he went to sleep. But when he was camping at night, Hongfu often fought with him in the tent, yelling: "Pharmacist Li, you devilish guy! This incident not only shows that people at that time had male genital worship, but also shows that Li Weigong is the best at pretending to be a god and a ghost." The so-called pretending to be a ghost refers to this aspect: when others are fighting, they are frightened and sweating, but they can stand upright, as if they are a human Rui - but they are a dummy Rui. In contrast, I am an honest person, soft is really soft, hard is really hard. It would be good if I could prove that I was a human being, but I wouldn't pretend to be not. When Xiao Sun saw this place, he quarreled with me: Do I think you are soft?
Chairman Mao taught us that the world is afraid of the word serious, and there is some truth in this. Xiao Sun fought with me over a hard word, leaving me speechless. Li Weigong has a mask on his face, and he has no expression at all, which makes people think that he has no sense of humor, and he can beat your little report for a joke; For a little fart to be able to entangle with you for three days and three nights. Together, these two looks make the leaders feel that he is a person who can be trusted. Later, he became an official, and after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he was entrusted with the important task of building the capital. And that's exactly what he dreamed of. And after these things were known to the bearded man, he said: Pretending to be a god and a ghost is not a real skill. This is not said in vain, the bearded man's face is like dead, not to mention that there is no smile, not even a crying face. As for staying the course, it's in his nature at all.
After Li Weigong began to pretend to be a ghost, he told Hongfu: I can be regarded as having found the way to be a man. This is not self-proclaimed, since discovering this doorway, Li Jing has been smooth sailing, and has been a Wei Gong, and he is only under one person, but above ten thousand. This doorway is fraud. On the battlefield, the golden drums are ringing, the swords and guns are raised at the same time, and the flesh and blood are flying; when the man sees this scene, he is like a silkworm, but he is like a **** like a solid iron. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, everyone was drowsy, but his eyes were like brass bells, and it was no wonder that he could be used by the leaders. After doing this, he can still get a kind of pleasure of deceiving everyone, because of this, he can persist for decades. Later, I found out that in addition to pretending to be energetic, he was also a good hand at pretending to be sick and dead.
When Li Weigong designed Chang'an City, she also retained her imagination and invention-loving nature. This nature is the reason why Red Whisk loves him. At first, he wanted to build Chang'an in the area of Laizhou on the seaside, because the sea was windy and there was an inexhaustible source of energy. If this plan is approved, Chang'an City will be a mass of stacked stone towers, topped by countless windmills. So that those who are inside rely on the power of the wind to carry water and grind powder, and even when they go out, they have to sit in a cart with sails and move forward on a stone-paved road. Li Weigong also designed the wind lamp, which is a pair of flint wheels driven by the wind, which are illuminated by friction to produce sparks. When it was windy, everyone went out to work, and when there was no wind, they lay down and went to sleep. It's the same as we do here: work when the call comes in, sleep when the power doesn't work. In addition to energy considerations, Li Weigong also likes the sea very much, and wants to swim in the sea with Hongfu in summer to tann his body. However, this plan was rejected by the emperor on the grounds that "my capital should be different from the wind mill", and in addition, the emperor did not like the sea, and as the king of a country, he was naked on the beach, which did not look good, and it was unsightly to get a tan. Later, Li Jing designed Chang'an on the mountainside of Emei, so that Chang'an City was composed of various waterways, which passed through the sluice gates and drove countless water wheels, which in turn drove the cable car for mountaineering, the rice mill, and the hydraulic lamp. The whole city is built of wood, and there are water tanks made of wood and wooden water wheels everywhere, so Chang'an City is like a Venice in the middle of the mountain, constantly rotating. Li Jing also likes to climb mountains, especially the lush mountains. He wanted to go hunting with Redwhisk. But it was again denied. The reason is that "my capital city should be different from the water mill", and the emperor did not like mountains, especially mountains with grass and trees. In the end, Li Weigong proposed to build a Chang'an city out of earth, driven by manpower, like all cities in China throughout the ages. In order to prevent manpower from thinking about what is wrong, all necessary measures have been taken. The emperor was satisfied this time, and did not say that "my capital should be different from a pigsty", but said that "Li Aiqing has a smart head, but he doesn't know how to use it". That is to say, after his reminder, Li Weigong finally knew how to use his head, that is to say, although Li Weigong was smart and world-famous, he didn't know what kind of person he was.
As I said, Wei Gong is a mathematician, just like me. A true mathematician does not believe that he is a program, he thinks he is a person who learns to derive programs.
Li Weigong designed Wind Chang'an because he likes wind, especially sea breezes. When he reached the seashore, he sat down on the stone and smelled the smell of the sea breeze. The wind can literally blow people's ears off, but it's lovely. The sea breeze is blue, white with a hint of cloud. He said to Hongfu, "I must build a city on the sea in the future!" but this determination was not in line with the emperor's wishes, so it was in vain. He also loves water, especially the water that runs down from the mountains. The water was cold and biting. Although it is transparent and colorless, it always has a yellow-green tinge tinge. I just haven't heard that he likes people. Although Hongfu said that Li Jing has always been very likable, even when he pretends to be a ghost, he is a little cute. But at the beginning, it was no longer likable when it came to the matter of human Chang'an.
Li Weigong designed Chang'an, adopting the principle of permanence. That is to say, to make the city never go wrong. He is very familiar with this aspect, because he has destroyed Luoyang City, and he knows that the key to keeping a city is to let the people inside never think about it, so he built this city to be boxy and earthy. This point is actually very important, as evidenced by the statements of the sages -- Master Russell said: How could the ancient Egyptians know that the earth was round? The Greeks were so clever that they didn't know that the earth was round? The reason for this is this: the place in Egypt was bare, and they could not see anything but the round horizon around them, so they were dumbfounded; when the Greeks looked up, they saw that there were seas and mountains all around, and the scenery was picturesque, so they were full of strange thoughts. But in Greece it is difficult to see the horizon, so I don't know that the earth is round, but think it is a big sand plate. The camel is on the back of the whale, and the whale makes an earthquake when it tickles. Fortunately, the Fuso people didn't know about this, otherwise they would have beaten this whale to boil oil, and they didn't care where we would all sink. Li Weigong studied both China and the West, and designed Chang'an City for everyone to live in, not only dumbfounded, but also did not know that the earth was round. In this way, Chang'an City was built on a very solid foundation. We all looked at the square city around us, and we only knew that the sky was round and the place looked like a thatched pit. Therefore, I am very unconscious, and I defecate everywhere I go.
Of course, we say that Chang'an City is not untargeted, because in addition to adobe and mud, this city is bricks and pottery, which is either yellow or gray. In addition, most people wear khaki clothes, so that they can't see anyone on the other side with their myopic eyes, and they don't know until they bump into their arms. The houses in the city are all exactly the same, with an adobe-walled courtyard and a high gatehouse, and when you enter it is a brick-paved road, with a well on your left hand to draw water from it, and a seepage well on your right hand to pour back the used water, and so on and so forth. Standing in the middle of the well platform and looking ahead, there is a gray tiled roof in the middle of the yellow, which is where the lobby is. When nothing happens, the master and the housewife sit side by side, the man on the left and the woman on the right, and the main axis of this courtyard passes between the right shoulder of the man and the left shoulder of the woman. Every house in Chang'an City is like this. It's just that homesteads are big and small. After Chang'an was built, there was no wind in the city, and even birds did not come. There is an obscene saying that if you live in Chang'an City for a long time, you will become square, and you will come out with a square section of shit. If this is the case, there is nothing to be afraid of, everyone is amazed at the strictness of the city, saying that Wei Gong is really a genius, as if he was born to be a human being. But as far as I know, this is not the case. Wei Gong has never been a real person. He's just as fake as I am. Later, he was slashed and wilted, and the real human Rui would never wilt after being stabbed. Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty raised a bunch of blood droplets, and sent them to cut the person without regard for it. As long as he was not hacked to death, the man would have worked hard and worked until four o'clock in the morning every night. These are the real people.
After Li Weigong built the walls and houses of Chang'an City, he formulated various systems for it. As mentioned earlier, these systems were designed to prevent people from thinking about it, but he did not think that the object of prevention should include himself. In addition to formulating various systems, he is also inventing all kinds of utensils, thinking of doing one thing at a time, and he does not prioritize it at all. The emperor looked at a piece of official music and found that ink was leaking through the back. When I turned it over, it was a design of a wooden woman in a small inn, with an arrow pointing to her pussy on the side of the picture, and a line of small letters that read "Flannel cloth inside". The emperor was at a loss, and Li Weigong broke in from the outside, shouting in his mouth: The minister was busy and dizzy, and he wrote the chapter and drawings together. Wait for the minister to go back and transcribe it again. After saying that, he snatched the piece and ran away. He also made a pair of wooden roller skates under the pretext that he was busy with work, and slid on the brick floor of the palace, making a terrible noise, and even the little eunuch had to cover his ears with his hands when he saw him coming. But the emperor tolerated him and said: Li Qing has a lively temperament and is very cute! But this does not mean that he is completely at ease with Li Jing. According to the emperor's personal eunuch, the emperor did say: Whose money did Li Jing use to build a wooden woman?
There is a reason why the emperor is not at ease with Li Jing. In addition to his upside-down demeanor, this person also has a problem with thinking about what is wrong. His wind power Chang'an and water Chang'an have been denied, but he still doesn't give up and is still experimenting. There are three large sand tables in the lobby of his house, and one on the left has a label "Wind Chang'an", on which there are towers made of pulp, windmills, streets, etc., and there is a person holding a fan and fanning it constantly. The one on the right has a label of "Hydraulic Chang'an", there is a water wheel waterway, etc., and there is a cistern on the top, and there is a person who fills it with a bucket. The middle one is an earthy yellow sand table, it seems that there is nothing on it, and only when you look carefully can you see the houses and streets, which is the model of human Chang'an. The inhabitants of all three models are ants, and each ant has a piece of paper pasted on it that identifies it. Not only are there common ants, public ants, but also three ants have become emperors in a rebellious way. Fortunately, it was the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and various systems had not yet been completed, otherwise even Li Jing and his three ants would have been punished with a thousand knives. Li Jing knew this completely, and he said with a hippie smile: I just took advantage of this loophole. The results of the experiment are that the ants in the wind-powered Chang'an are smarter, the ants in the water-powered Chang'an are stronger, and the ants in the manpower Chang'an are the most self-sufficient. This result proves the emperor's sanctity. The emperor always knew what Li Jing was doing, and he also knew the conclusion he had reached, but he only said one sentence: Why do I need him to prove it!
