Chapter 78: Drink More Hot Water!
The screen continues to play.
First world.
Ying Zheng was playing against Fusu in a palace, and the eunuch hurriedly came to report.
"Report to Your Majesty! Tianzhu monk Sri room asks to see! β
"Sri room? Why is he here again? Fusu! What do you think about this? β
"Back to my father! Erchen thinks that Tianzhu Buddhism is a foreign thing, which is not good for my Great Qin, so it is better to drive it away! β
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Listen to the order!" Drive the demon monks of the Western Regions away! β
"Yui!"
β¦β¦
Barrage in the live broadcast room.
"Hey! Why did you drive it away? In fact, it is good to let the Dharma come in as soon as possible, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought may be even more exciting! β
"Fusu is a person who learns Confucianism, of course he will not accept this kind of strange power!"
"It's hard enough! Hahaha! β
β¦β¦
National Institute of History.
"I didn't expect this show to even appear in the room, it's really interesting!"
"When Qin Shi Huang was four years old, the Western Regions monk Mur Lifang and his party of eighteen people did come to Chang'an to preach, but they should have been driven away by Qin Shi Huang."
"By mistake, now drive them away from Chang'an, and when they arrive in the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang will have to travel thousands of miles from Chang'an to learn scriptures!"
"That's right."
β¦β¦
A historical forum.
"Actually, it's a pity, the ideas are blended, a hundred schools of thought are contending, if there is Buddhism, it may be even more exciting!"
"Yes! The strength of the Qin and Han dynasties is force! And the strength of the Tang Dynasty is cultural self-confidence! If only force and cultural self-confidence were combined! That's invincible! β
"Speaking of the Tang Dynasty! They are not afraid of any foreign ideas and religions, even some evil religions such as Nestorianism and Yuanjiao! β
"I wonder what will happen to the second world? A mighty empire should not be afraid of any flying thoughts! β
β¦β¦
Second World.
Ying Zheng was sitting with Zhao Hui drinking, and a eunuch hurried to report.
"Tell Your Majesty! The Tianzhu monk Sri Lifang asked to see. β
"Why is he here again? Hui'er, what do you think? β
Zhao Hui put down the wine cup in his hand and said, "Father, can you let your sons go and see you, this monk is well-informed, and he may be useful to our Qin country, if it is a talent, naturally he can't turn it away." β
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Hahaha! Hui'er is reasonable, back then, my filial piety of the Qin State used the "Seeking Talent Order" to recruit talents, and the Qin State could be strong if the merchant changed the law. Now I might as well understand Hui'er. Come on! Xuan Tianzhu monk came in! β
"Yui!"
After a while, a Tianzhu monk wearing a monk's robe and a ring on his ear walked in.
"Meet His Majesty the First Emperor!"
"Excuse me! Have a seat! β
The Tianzhu monk folded his hands and sat down cross-legged.
Ying Zheng nodded, looked at Zhao Hui, and said, "Hui'er! β
"Yui!"
Zhao Hui nodded, and then asked, "Master!" I heard that Tianzhu Buddhism emphasizes reincarnation, and I dare to ask the master what was your identity in your previous life? β
Sri Rifang said, "The Buddha said that he could not say. β
Zhao Hui smiled and continued: "I have heard that Tianzhu Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, so dare to ask the master, what we eat every day is life? β
Sri Rifang nodded and said, "A bowl of water for the Buddha Temple, 84,000 insects." Even when we monks drink water, we silently recite the water purification mantra. β
Zhao Hui's expression was complicated, and he said: "According to what the master said, there are so many insects in this bowl of water, wouldn't drinking it make you sick?" β
Sri Room was silent.
Zhao Hui nodded, and then looked at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng understood and said, "Someone! Bring the master to settle down first, and then set up an altar to preach the Fa on a certain day. β
Sri Rifang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Great First Emperor! The Lord will bless you! β
After the room left, Zhao Hui hurriedly said, "Father! It's better to believe what you have than what you don't have! If, according to this monk, there are insects in the raw water, then my people of Great Qin will naturally get sick often after drinking it! β
"What's the recipe for Hui'er?"
"Father! Erchen believes that if the raw water is boiled, the insects in the water can naturally be killed! β
"Makes sense! It's just ......" Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "The laws of Great Qin stipulate that no trees can be cut down except for making coffins, so the people have no firewood to burn. β
"Father! Erchen has improved the paper-making process, and it is also possible to make paper from the bark of trees, even for paper-making, the forest still has to be cut down. β
"This ......"
"Erchen knows that his father is worried that the soldiers and civilians of the Qin State will go to cut firewood and no one will cultivate it."
"Hui'er, don't sell it, if you have any proposals, come and hear about it."
"Father, drinking boiling hot water can keep everyone from getting sick, and this cannot be abandoned. And the paper will continue to be made. As for arable land, it is possible for the people to clear land on the land that has been cut down and exempt from taxes for five years on the new land! β
Hearing this, Ying Zheng kept nodding.
"Wonderful! In this way, the people of Qin can cut wood and cut firewood to sell it to subsidize their families, and the government can buy a large amount of wood to make paper. β
β¦β¦
Barrage in the live broadcast room.
"I'll go! This Zhao Hui is really a talent! Boiling hot water for drinking can enhance the physical fitness of the soldiers and civilians of the Qin State, increase the area of cultivated land, increase the grain production of the Qin State, and a large amount of papermaking can also speed up the spread of knowledge! β
"Talent! From the words of the Tianzhu monk, I can understand the truth of boiling water and drinking! β
"Returning forests to farming? This Zhao Hui is simply a genius! β
"For the ancients, it is already remarkable to be able to think of such a degree!"
β¦β¦
A historical forum.
"Isn't it! Can it still be like this? β
"That's a bit ahead of its time! Returning forests to farming! Interesting! β
"Do not look down on the wisdom of the ancients! The Book of Ink, the work of the Mohist school, contains a wealth of knowledge about mechanics, optics, geometry, engineering technology, and the basic elements of modern physics and mathematics. β
"Yes, yes, yes! The principle of small hole imaging in Mozi optical research is exactly the same as the current theoretical knowledge! β
"Uh-huh! Wang Mang also invented the vernier caliper! β

@ζΌζ³½ζ: Hahaha, drink more hot water! Hahaha!
@δΊδΈηζxy: Interesting! This show is so much fun!
@ε΅ε°ι¨: Let's be honest! The wisdom of the ancients is really more powerful than that of modern people, but most of them can't read classical Chinese!
@ζ½ζΊ―: Yes, yes, yes! The literary foundation of modern people is so poor that they can't even read the four famous works in the vernacular, let alone those ancient books!
@ηι»: Agreed! Our Chinese civilization is contained in classical Chinese and should not be abandoned!
