Chapter [359] History Of Qin, Jiuzhuan Pill
The autumn harvest is coming.
On the Guanzhong Plain, countless people use cattle and horses to pull the harvester developed by the supervisor, and quickly harvest mature crops on the plain.
Where the harvester passed by, the mature wheat fell on the ground neatly in pieces.
Those who follow the harvester tie up the wheat in bundles, put them on carts and drive them home.
Although it is still a human-powered harvester, it needs people to step on it constantly to drive the blades, coupled with the traction of cattle and horses, to complete the harvest.
But compared to harvesting with a sickle while bowing your head and bending over, the work efficiency has been greatly improved, and the common people can complete the harvest very easily.
"It's only been ten years. It's really unimaginable that the warehouses are full and the food and clothing are sufficient." Zhuge Liang stood in the field, looking at the busy people, and couldn't help expressing emotion.
"I don't have any feelings." Guo Jia shrugged.
"Maybe it's because you go to the streets every day, and you can't feel a little change every day." Zhuge Liang continued: "I haven't gone out for a long time, and it's a bit abrupt when the people change so much. .”
"Old man, how much is the yield per mu now?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help asking when he met an old man.
The old man grinned, stretched out a slap to Zhuge Liang, and turned twice triumphantly.
"Five stones per mu is really a good harvest!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"Hahaha~" The old man couldn't help grinning when he heard the words, showing his jagged teeth and laughing loudly, "The younger generation is joking."
"What do you mean, old man?" Zhuge Liang was a little confused.
"Five stones per mu? How many years ago did that happen?" The old man shook his head and said, "Your Majesty built a keel waterwheel in Guanzhong to irrigate the land and crops. At that time, he had already produced five stones per mu!"
Zhuge Liang was surprised when he heard the words. The time the old man mentioned may have been less than twenty years ago. At that time, it was not long before Lu Bu entered the Guanzhong.
"I didn't expect that Guanzhong could produce five stones per mu. No wonder Lu couldn't have the last laugh." Zhuge Liang couldn't help sighing, and then immediately asked: "Then how much is it now?"
"You young man, didn't you see the old man, I turned it over twice?" The old man smiled and said, "Now the yield is fifteen shi per mu!"
Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard the words. As Liu Bei's confidant and adviser, Zhuge Liang was in charge of internal affairs. Zhuge Liang knew best how much crops an acre of land could produce.
Normally, an acre of land yields three grains, and if there is a good harvest, it will be four grains. Only when there is a good harvest can it reach five grains, and it is very rare. It may only happen once in more than ten years.
And Lu Bu was able to achieve five shi per mu more than ten years ago, and now he has reached the "terrifying" yield of 15 shi per mu, which is enough to shock Zhuge Liang.
Ask yourself, can the Han Dynasty allow the people to live this kind of life? The answer is obviously no.
For a moment, even Zhuge Liang was confused. If he really helped Liu Bei defeat Lu Bu in the end, let Liu Bei win the world, and let the Han Dynasty continue, would it be a good thing for the people?
Zhuge Liang compares himself to Guan Zhong, but Zhuge Liang also has self-knowledge. Even if he came to be the prime minister, five stones per mu would be the limit of grain production.
Compared with the current fifteen stones, it is obvious that Lu Bu has done better.
Ten years later, Zhuge Liang couldn't let go of the fact that Lu was not in the world, and kept himself paralyzed, immersed in history books, deceiving himself and others. Fantasy has been living in the room should.
But at this moment, after hearing that the yield per mu was fifteen shi, Zhuge Liang was relieved.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the people and the harvest scene, Zhuge Liang no longer had any hatred for Lu Bu or Daqin.
"Feng Xiao, let's go back~". "
"good."
There is no need to look any further, just by seeing this harvest scene, you can get a glimpse of the whole leopard. The people under the rule of the Qin Dynasty must have lived a very good life [much better than they lived under the Han Dynasty at the beginning.
The two returned to Xianyang together and returned to Cai Yong's mansion.
Cai Yong was lying comfortably on the bamboo chair, with a stove next to him making tea.
As Lu Bu's father-in-law, even though Cai Yong is a remnant of the previous dynasty, he still lives a very comfortable life.
Regardless of basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation are the best, and there is never a shortage of people to take care of me.
"Are you back? How are the people doing now?" Cai Yong asked after seeing the two.
"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the people today are doing very well, ten times better than under the Han Dynasty." Zhuge Liang sighed.
"Then are you two willing to compile the history of Qin?" Cai Yong asked, and then said to himself: "I heard that he started to be obsessed with alchemists' techniques, and the movement of the past few days was caused by alchemy."
"Fortunately, he no longer interferes in the affairs of state, and now he is the crown prince supervising the country, which is a blessing in misfortune."
The news of the battle between Lu Bu and Ge Xuan was sealed inside the palace. Neither the court ministers nor the common people knew that Lu Bu was seriously injured.
"Anyway, if you have nothing to do, it's better to pass the time by editing history books, so that you don't have to eat and drink for free in Ming Gong's mansion." Guo Jia joked.
Zhuge Liang on the side heard the words and did not object.
"Hahaha~" Cai Yong couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "The imperial court is responsible for the food and clothing of the old man, you can't eat me poorly."
The Chronicle of Emperor Qinhuang:
"Qin Huang, a native of Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou."
"Surnamed Lu, taboo cloth, styled Fengxian, after the first emperor Lu Zheng."
Although everyone knows that Lu Bu is not a descendant of the first emperor, it is nonsense, but this is the legal principle of Lu Bu's establishment of Daqin, so even history books have to turn a blind eye
Admit this bullshit lie.
Anyway, the common people don't care about these, and they don't even know what Qin Shihuang is.
Although the scholar class knew about it, they also knew that this was a non-existent thing.
Therefore, in the Great Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor was not well-known, and no one would mention it.
When the Great Qin Dynasty was not established, Lu did not need to claim to be a descendant of the First Emperor in exchange for the legal principles and legal system of the founding of the country.
Now that Daqin has been established, Lu Bu doesn't need this title, so he naturally began to downplay this aspect.
"The emperor of Qin was one foot tall, with a heroic appearance, a resolute appearance, and a natural supernatural power. The world said: 'Lu Bu is among men, and the red rabbit is among horses'."
"When the Emperor Qin came into the world, when the thunder and lightning were dark, he saw a dragon on top of him, and the sky was filled with rays of light..."
Zhuge Liang didn't want to write about this section, but Cai Yan made up this myth and legend about Lu Bu himself.
And Cai Yan is Cai Yong's daughter. Zhuge Liang eats and drinks at Cai Yong's house every day instead of looking at the monk's face.
Lu Bu is still alive now, and Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia are also contemporaries, so it is easy to search for Lu Bu's deeds, and it is not difficult to compile. The two can inquire from many sources, and Cai Yong can even ask people around Lu Bu people.
royal palace.
Just when Zhuge and Guo Jia began to compile the Benji of Emperor Qin, Lu Bu in the palace had already recovered.
First, use milk to strengthen the body's resistance to empty out the toxins in the body, and then take pills to generate true energy in the dantian, and start to practice the "Jiu Dan Jin Ye Jing" dictated by Ge Xuan.
The true qi cultivated by Lu Bu in the past was like a white mist in the dantian, but after practicing the skills provided by Ge Xuan, the true qi turned into a golden liquid.
Only when a dantian was full of true qi before could it be condensed into a drop of golden liquid true qi, which greatly increased Lu Bu's upper limit.
After a drop of golden liquid condensed in his body, Lu couldn't stop practicing. If he really filled his dantian with liquid Qi, it would take many years, and it would be too time-consuming.
Lu Bu didn't like this kind of penance, and wanted to spend more time with his family, so he soon thought of taking a shortcut by taking drugs.
Since Ge Xuan has a systematic way of cultivation and techniques, he must have the art of alchemy. As long as he gets a prescription from Ge Xuan that is more effective than lead and mercury pills, the speed of cultivation will not be a problem.
After all, as the Emperor of Qin, no matter what materials are needed, there will be countless people searching for Lu Bu.
As expected, Lu Bu got the elixir recipe from Ge Xuan, and the sixth sense didn't give any hint, which means that Ge Xuan didn't lie either.
However, the materials needed for the recipe are very precious. In addition to gold, silver, copper, lead, mercury, cinnabar, and sulfur, coral, agate, chalcedony, pearl, rhino horn, ivory, turtle shell, and a large number of old Chinese medicines are also needed.
These things are absolutely unbearable to ordinary people, but to Lu Bu it is trivial.
With one order, all the required materials will be collected and handed over to those alchemists for refining, which makes Ge Xuan very envious.
A month later, the first batch of pills were all released.
Lu Bu looked at the golden pill in his hand, and asked involuntarily, "Does this pill have a name?"
"The name of this pill (Manuohao) is Jiuzhuan Dan." Ge Xuan replied: "It contains a lot of true energy and has little toxicity. It can quickly improve the cultivation level."
Lu Bu put the golden pill into his mouth, but did not swallow it directly, Lu Bu was waiting for the sixth sense warning.
If it is dangerous to eat it, then the sixth sense will definitely remind Lu Bu.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement from the sixth sense, so Lu Bu swallowed Dan directly.
Ge Xuan's words may not be credible, but the sixth sense is absolutely reliable, and Lu Bu is sure of this.
When the pill enters the abdomen, a huge warm current melts in the dantian, and the toxin is far less than that of the lead and mercury pill.
"Nine Zhuan Pills need to be eaten at the same time to have the greatest effect." Ge Xuan took the initiative to remind, this is a very rare thing.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon farmer.
Lu Bu was the one who conquered the world at any rate, so he wouldn't be fooled by an alchemist.
People like Ge Xuan have been cultivating in the mountains and forests in the past, but they don't have much social experience. As soon as he said Lu Bu, he knew that Ge Xuan had no good intentions.
But the sixth sense still didn't respond, so Lu couldn't know that he would not be in any danger if he ate nine pills, and he also knew that Ge Xuan wasn't lying.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Lu Bu followed Ge Xuan's prompt and swallowed eight pills again.
Sensing that Lu Bu swallowed the pill again, Ge Xuan suddenly showed a grin on his face, as if he had succeeded in his trick. .
