Xiao Qiao raised his eyebrows and said, "The world is doing it, it is indeed doing." ”

The tone was sarcastic.

He only saw: Before the Tang Dynasty, the sect was hidden, the Taoist system was not easily spread, and the family could not enter the clouds because of the lack of practice, and at most cultivated to the peak of the day after tomorrow. To the Tang Dynasty to unify the world, because of the help of the sect, in return, it is also too. The agreement between Emperor Zu and the sect, the Tang Dynasty changed the previous dynasties' containment of the sect's propagation, and issued an edict to the world to encourage the practice of martial arts and allow the sect to spread the law. The three great sects of Sanqing Palace, Sword Pavilion, and Fanyin Temple gradually changed from the secluded world to the world, and the innate cultivation exercises were also passed on, and the first to benefit was the royal family and the family. A few decades later, the royal family and the family had their own innateness. Another hundred years later, Tiance Academy became the fourth largest sect of Taoism. Many of the court's major decrees and policies have the influence of the cloud behind them. And the real master who determines the direction of the family is also the cloud in the family that "ignores mundane affairs".

Xiao Qiao saw it thoroughly: when it comes to the clouds, secular power and wealth are no longer important, and what is pursued is greater power and longer life. But such a pursuit is likely to sacrifice the interests and development of the human race.

"Let's not talk about the big one, let's just talk about this transportation, the wheels of the carriage-"

Xiao Qiao patted the carriage seat, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Two hundred years ago, we Datang discovered that the sap of the rubber tree in Nandongzhou can be used to make something very useful, elastic, flexible, and able to isolate water and air, and this new invention was named rubber, which is used in scientific research, instruments and military industry. Later, Moxingsha came up with the idea of using this rubber in horse-drawn carriages to create new wheels instead of wooden wheels. But today, 200 years later, two-thirds of the world's carriages are still made of wood. Only military vehicles, stagecoaches, government buses, and private cars of the powerful and wealthy can afford to use very expensive rubber wheels. Ordinary people still have to suffer from the friction and bumps of the wooden wheel. Whose fault is this? If it weren't for the hindrance of the sect, rubber would have been in the world long ago. ”

Why is the sect obstructing? Because the purification cost of rubber refining is high. Only large factories can make rubber products, and first of all, they are used for military, scientific research and industry. As for the daily use of the people? It doesn't matter if it's back, back, back, back.

Not to mention ordinary people, under this kind of plan, the royal family and magnates also have to step aside.

"Let's just say that we wear them on our feet," Xiao Qiao raised his boots and stomped on them, green felt boots, mille-feuille soles, "The cloth bottom is comfortable to wear, but it is not good on rainy days." Moxingshe created rubber-soled shoes and rubber rain boots, which was originally intended to facilitate people's travel, but now? On the side of Hehe, the rich wear rubber-soled leather boots on rainy days, while the middle-class rich can't buy them if they want to, and as for ordinary civilians, the total annual income is less than a fraction of that of rubber-soled shoes. The inventions and creations of the Moxing Society failed to benefit the daily use of the people as they wished, but a very small number of rich people enjoyed it. ”

In the Tang Dynasty, even His Majesty the Emperor still wears cloth bottoms, leather soles, and wooden soles. Want a soft stretch rubber soled leather boot? Wait, it may be possible in thirty years.

Xiao Qiao said with a sigh: "Our Tang Dynasty, the family is popular clogs, and its name is called the legacy of the Shi clan, this is the 'sinister' intention of the imperial court, anyway, everyone has been wearing this for hundreds of years, how elegant it is, don't think about other shoes." ”

Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard the "sinister intentions", and said sincerely after listening: "I think it's good to wear clogs." ”

Xiao Qiao glared, "The point is not here. ”

Xiao Yan nodded and smiled, "Yes." Or is it a question of purification. ”

Purification technology is not achieved overnight, but some toxic and polluting things have not been completely purified but it is necessary for the national economy and people's livelihood, not to mention the drive of profit chasing, the imperial court can not afford not to produce, can only limit production, especially for non-critical daily things, there are strict production restriction orders, and there are additional high natural taxes. The cost of purification plus high taxes means that the factory traders have to earn high profits at all levels, and ordinary people certainly can't afford it.

The imperial court also has guidance in morale, taking the emperor himself as an example, and does not advocate the family magnates to "chase new" on daily production restrictions - other families Xiao Yan does not know, but Xiao Liangguo Mansion of the Xiao family has never worn rubber-soled shoes and boots from top to bottom, and has always worn clogs or clog-soled boots in rainy and snowy weather.

Xiao Qiao snorted at her, "You are from a wealthy family, and you don't know the hardships of the small people." You can't wear clogs when you walk in the countryside, and the soles of your feet are full of blood blisters for half a day. If you go barefoot in the water in the cold weather, you will suffer from the problem of old cold legs, and you will accidentally freeze your feet. ”

Xiao Yan didn't smile this time, his expression was narrow, he nodded seriously, and said, "Yes." ”

Xiao Qiao patted his knee, "Look, this is the sacrifice of interests." The daily use of the people is always after the great use. What is the great use, Mozi said well, love the people, improvise the world's great benefits. However, under the big plan, the interests of the small people are always the last to consider. ”

Xiao Yan didn't refute it, because it was true.

Xiao Qiao raised his eyebrows and said: "After talking about daily use and people's benefits, let's talk about the great use of the national economy." Let's talk about energy crystals. Take coal spar as an example, we all know that the cost of directly burning raw coal is definitely much lower than purifying carbon and coal spar. A hundred years ago, our Datang invented the steam boiler to transmit power, why didn't it be popularized, but only used for small fights such as mine pumping? Because this kind of boiler is small, the power consumption is small, the purification carbon is less needed, and the cost is low. As soon as the big boiler moves, it is thousands of catties of purified carbon, who can afford it? As long as the pure technology is not solved, in order to develop a steam engine with a greater power output, it is necessary to save fuel, and the difficulty of this research must be multiplied. ”

Xiao Qiao sighed again, "There are many examples!" Because of the high energy consumption, it is determined that the research has failed, and how many achievements have been re-researched or even hidden by the Imperial Scientific Research and the Second Institute of Technology Research? It's all in the way of this 'purification plan'. Otherwise, how could the development of Datang end today? How can the national economy and people's livelihood be comparable today? Not to mention a hundred, ten times more. ”

His voice was a little excited, and his eyes were shining, making his face even more vibrant, as vigorous and passionate as the rising red sun.

Xiao Yan's eyes were still calm and calm, and he said, "What you said is the truth. It makes sense. ”

But......

Her long river of thinking flows quietly and deeply, and her voice is clear and clear, "There are pros and cons in everything in the world, and there are always trade-offs." The human race was nurtured in heaven and earth, and it must also be protected by heaven and earth. Yi said, the earth is virtuous. To be virtuous, in order to bear. Man claims to be the spirit of all things, but he is also the killer of all things. Every step of the Terrans is a load on the earth. If you load too much, you will be negative. People have no virtue in the earth, how can the earth carry people? According to geographical chronicles, before the Great Qin Empire, there were dense forests in the Guanzhong Plain; By the time the Tang Dynasty was founded, there were few forests on the plains; By the time Gaozong ascended the throne, the Guanzhong Plain was full of fields. The population multiplies, the land is reclaimed and the forest is wasted, and the sediment enters the river; The progress of the human race is all at the cost of the degradation of soil, rivers and atmosphere. ”

She said: "If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty's 'clean nature' as a national policy, how could the Guanzhong Plain have today's return of farmland to forests and replanting grasslands? It was already a bare loess field - the great rivers that had been yellowed during the reign of Emperor Gaozong must have been silted up, turbid waves were rolling, and floods were frequent. This is the case in Guanzhong, Shandong, Huainan, Huaibei, Hebei, Hedong, Jiangnan, and Jiangbei. The pottery kilns, porcelain kilns, brick kilns, coal kilns, cement kilns, and smelting fields all over the north and south have indeed promoted the people's livelihood and strengthened the national strength, and they have contributed to the glory of the human civilization. However, the charcoal fire is blazing, the soot is billowing, the dust is all over the sky, if there is no imperial court to close the small kiln, limit the production of the large kiln, there is no purification, today the north and south of the Tang Dynasty, the clear sky will not be visible, the rain will also be toxic, the doctor does not dare to say 'with rootless water into medicine', the soil will also be eroded, the river water is filthy and rotten due to the inflow of waste water and waste residue, and the crops in the soil, the fish and shrimp in the river will have more impurities because of this. The more impurities there are in the food, the more diseases will arise. ”

When Xiao Yan said this, he shook his head slightly, and paused, now that the aura of the earth is thin, and the human race wants to use external forces to advance, this kind of destruction is inevitable. Now it's not ancient, she sighed slightly, and continued:

"At that time, the heaven and earth were full of spiritual energy, and even ordinary people who could not practice bathed in such a heaven and earth were still physically strong, with smooth qi and blood, few diseases, and an average of more than a hundred years old. And now? Not to mention the common people, even the rich and powerful who are not subject to the hardships of labor and have abundant food, how many can live to be 100 years old? ”

When she was together with Shen Qingyi in Daomen before, Xiao Yan had browsed the classics and literature she read in Shen Qingyi's study, and there was a box that stored the academic journals of the Imperial Medical College over the years, which contained a classification and statistical topic of the average life expectancy of the Tang Dynasty that the Imperial Medical College had done in the 30 years of Changzhi: the average life expectancy of the "peasant" was forty years old, and the average life expectancy of the "scholar" was fifty-three years old, of course, this did not include the grandmaster. The medical school concluded that the average life expectancy in the Tang Dynasty was significantly higher than that of previous dynasties: according to incomplete statistics, the average life expectancy in the Western Han Dynasty was 28 years. And if it is a disaggregated statistics, the average number of orders of farmers and scholars is much lower than that of Datang.

But in Xiao Yan's view, this life expectancy is very low.

She said: "In ancient times, even if the ordinary human race did not have the witch root of cultivation, and could not cultivate to become a witch, but most people's roots and bones were good, according to today's words, they had the qualification to practice martial arts, and it was called forging the body at that time: in an environment with abundant spiritual energy, they could eventually advance to the realm of forging bones, although they could not enter the realm of building pills without dantian, they could also have a lifespan of two or three hundred years. ”

After the flood, the aura was greatly reduced, and there were fewer and fewer people with witch roots, and the remaining witch clans explored for thousands of years in the difficult way to create a method of entering the Tao without witch roots, among which "entering the Tao with martial arts" was created in the exercise of forging the body, that is, the martial arts inherited by the two sects of Dao and Mo.

"In the past, practitioners said that Bigu refers to the ability to not need to eat, and it is not necessary for practice. However, now the Grandmaster, Bigu has become a necessity for cultivation, because there is no pure spiritual food, and the food on the earth is full of impurities. "The big meal she ate today was to expel the impurities during the evening gymnasium.

"The ancient human race multiplied because of its long lifespan, and the habitat became more and more extensive. However, only a few of the Terran cities were built on the ground, and most of them were suspended in the sky by the power of the Wu Clan, and only the waterways were connected to the ground, and the waste water returned to the earth and rivers after being completely purified; The excretion and garbage of the human race are unified into the purification array in the city, and after purification and decomposition, they are decomposed into nutrients needed by the earth, and then applied back to the fields to maintain the fertility of the soil and not be barren due to cultivation......"

Xiao Yan did not hide talking about the human civilization in ancient times.

She looked at Xiao Qiao and thought of the fourth brother Xiao Cong, before entering the Tao, the fourth brother was also an ordinary person who could not practice. But no one can deny that the fourth brother is a qualified son and an excellent heir of the Lanling Xiao family. For example, Xiao Qiao is also an outstanding son of the Xiao family. There are many such people, there are families, there are not families, they are the elites of the younger generation, the rising sun of the world: well-educated, have read a lot of books, have seen a lot of things, have rich experience, have profound thoughts, have unique ideas, have lofty goals, have the ambition and passion to change the world and make the world better, have faith and fighting spirit - for them, there is no need to hide the existence of the first generation of human race, but should let them know clearly: the origin and history of the entire human race.

Xiao Yan thought to himself, the way of immortality is practice, the way of the world is also practice, and practice is to find the true self and constantly surpass oneself. How can a cultivator of the Tao in the world, who does not know the origin and glory of the human race and the destruction of ancient civilizations, find the true self of the human race, change the world, and surpass himself?

“…… At that time, all human activities were done with hedrons. Ordinary human beings use spar to supply energy gathering array, wind energy, solar energy, water energy, thunder energy, for factory manufacturing and farm soil maintenance, planting and poultry and animal breeding; People also use spars in their daily lives: spar stoves, spar furnaces, spar pots, spar lamps, spar heating pipes, temperature control systems, spar gange houses, spar ground cars, spar flying cars, spar boats, spar air ships, ......"

Xiao Qiao was fascinated by this, and couldn't help asking, "The price of the spar must be very low?" ”

Otherwise, how can people use it every day?

Xiao Yan recalled the records in the jade slips, and after careful comparison, he said: "It is about the same as the price of grain in our Datang, and it is a necessity for people's livelihood. At that time, the spirit stone mine was abundant, and the spirit stone mine would not be a spirit stone completely, there would be a lot of associated ores, although it did not contain spiritual energy, but it was also a secondary energy ore, and the Wu clan did not look down on it as an inferior ore, but the energy in it could be used by ordinary people, and after simple smelting and processing, it became an energy crystal. This kind of associated ore is more than the reserves of the spirit stone mine itself, because it is associated with the spirit stone, there are very few impurities, smelting and purification will not be complicated, and the simple purification formation can be carved into the smelting furnace, and the cost is not high; What's more, the Wu clan will not let the price of the spar be high, which will affect the development of the human race's foundation, and the price will become the price of rice and grain. ”

Xiao Qiao sighed.

Xiao Yan also sighed, and then said: "Minerals such as coal and fierce fire oil (oil) were formed after hundreds of millions of years, and in ancient times, didn't the Wu clan discover them?" It's just that it doesn't contain aura, there are many impurities, and the energy density is low, which is far inferior to the spar mine, and the Wu clan is not eye-catching, and ordinary people can't look down on it. ”

Today's world needs this kind of "unsightly" energy to push forward.

Xiao Qiao sighed again, "It's not ancient now. In ancient times, the land was vast and abundant, and now it is ...... Alas, our Datang is a big land, across continents and oceans, but it is rich, this can't be compared, it really can't be compared. ”

As he spoke, the carriage had reached the ring road that bounded the inner and outer districts. On the opposite side, there is obviously more people and vehicles than here, and there are also young people on horseback. The two of them got out of the carriage and changed to the horses of their retinue, and immediately had a wider field of vision. Leaving the carriage and two attendants waiting here, only one attendant was taken across the street.

When riding a horse across the wide road, Xiao Qiao said: "That's what you said. ”

What Xiao Yan said is that people live up to the earth, and the earth will carry people.

Xiao Qiao sighed, "But now it's not ancient. We don't have spars for the price of rice, and we don't have magic circles and runes that can be used everywhere. Heaven and earth don't carry us anymore, and there is not so much aura for us to use at will. ”

He raised his arm and waved it shortly and forcefully, "As you said, there is always a trade-off. How to say that the life of the earth is still a billion years, even if it is tossed by us, as long as it is not the power of the clouds to destroy the mountains and seas, how to say that it can be tossed for hundreds of millions of years, not to mention hundreds of millions of years, as long as we are given 10,000 years in the world, no, as long as a thousand years, high-speed, leapfrogging, the power of the world is strong enough to break the sky, the whole world out of the galaxy, hundreds of millions of stars, will be able to find another earth. Furthermore," he added, "when the technology crosses over to the point where we have the ability to return to the earth, we can make up for it and improve some of it." ”

Xiaoqiao's choice is to take the rapid development of the human race and the long-term continuation of the earth.

Xiao Yan was silent for a while, "You're talking about a kind of journey. ”

If there is no cloud, no sect, no Taoism, and no expectation of cultivation in the world, maybe, no, it is certain, the world will follow this path. After all, there is human interest driven.

"But," Xiao Yan said, "it's not in my way. ”

In the world, the grace of birth and nurturing will be repaid.

Xiao Yan will not turn his back on his mother.

The earth nurtures the human race, how can the human race turn its back.

This is incomparable in the eyes of ordinary people, how can worshipping one's mother be the same as respecting the earth? It is often said that the earth is the mother, but it is only a metaphor. But in Xiao Yan's heart, this is a truth.

She looked up at the sky, her expression and voice sincere, "I think, Emperor Gaozong's Dao must not be this Dao." ”

"What is the way of reconciliation? One and, one together. ”

……

Xiao Qiao was silent.

It's a position, a trade-off.

It is from the standpoint of the Terrans.

Or stand on the side of the human race and the earth.

……

"It doesn't have to be that extreme—"

Xiao Yan looked at the sunshine and smiled again, his eyes were as bright as the sun, "Harmony builds goodness, it's not your life or death." Symbiosis is not a matter of self-interest. This is harmony.

"Aqiao, the path we are taking now is very good, not to abandon the development of the human race with nature, nor to exhaust nature for the benefit of the human race. Although there are still many unsatisfactory things in the world, this is the way of harmony and symbiosis. It's just that we're not good enough. Virtue carries things, as long as people are there, the earth is there, and it always carries forward. Breathing together, sharing fate, this is the harmony between man and the earth. Whether in the cloud or under the cloud, we are born on the same earth and have the same roots. The earth is our root. The rules of our practitioners come from heaven and earth. do, and thou shalt not forsake the land.

"Aqiao, people have a home, only in their hearts can they have ties and roots. The Shaw is our home, and no matter where we are, we are the Lanling Shaw. The Tang Empire is our home, and no matter where we are, we are the proudest Tang people. The earth under our feet is our home, no matter how high the sky is or how vast the galaxy is, the earth is still the root of our soul. With roots, we will not be vain. ”
