Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

Ying Zheng nodded. He was very grateful that God brought Li Yang, a man from the future, to Daqin to help him realize his Daqin ideal in his heart.

However, thinking that I am already 50 years old, it is impossible to build an ideal country that is as prosperous and advanced as Li Yang's mobile phone, so I can't help but sigh: "My Daqin really needs to speed up to become stronger. I want to see Daqin dominate the whole world."

Li Yangdao: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it is only a matter of time before Great Qin achieves the status of world hegemony. As long as the internal state of Great Qin is rich and the people are strong, it will be able to rule the world in both military and economic directions."

Ying Zheng still trusted Li Yang's guarantee, nodded, and suddenly asked: "By the way, people... really can't live forever?"

Li Yang has black lines on his face, why does this guy still want to live forever?

After pondering for a while, Li Yang shook his head: "Since ancient times, the art of longevity has been deceived by sorcerers. Even when I came here, medical technology was so advanced, and it was rare for human beings to live past a hundred years."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was still a little disappointed.

Seeing Ying Zheng's disappointed expression, Li Yang decided to have a good talk about life with him, so he said: "Your Majesty, have you thought about it, if people can really live forever, it might not be a good thing."

"Oh? Why do you say that." Ying Zheng was a little surprised by these words.

Li Yangdao: "If a person lives forever, he can taste all the ups and downs, come and see all of them in spring and autumn, and go back and forth between the stars and the stars. There are so many joys and sorrows, so that it is commonplace, and the color is empty. Snake gallbladder entrance does not know bitterness, beautiful woman does not know pity, farewell is not far away, and reunion after long separation is not known Difficult. There is taste in the world, but you don’t taste it; there is snow in the world, but you don’t appreciate it; there are times in the world, but you don’t hesitate; there is love in the world, but you don’t realize it. So far, everyone is indistinguishable, no different from a tree, no different from death, what’s the point of living?”

"This……"

It was the first time Ying Zheng had heard Li Yang's words, so he couldn't help but be at a loss for words.

If a person lives forever, he is no different from a tree, and everything is commonplace, there will be no waves in the heart, life will become tasteless, and the world is not worth it...

Ying Zheng muttered, as if thinking about this philosophical question.

Li Yang saw that Yingzheng was finally thinking about this question, so he said again: "The life span of a person is only a hundred years. There are times of spring and autumn, times of sweet and sour, times of sorrow and joy, and times of reunion. There are laughter, tears and heartache. Only a person is alive. Really alive, this kind of living is interesting and tasteful."

Ying Zheng didn't speak, but thought deeply again.

Li Yang smiled: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can live forever, how can you have the motivation to make Daqin stronger? Because you are immortal and live as long as the world. You are not in a hurry now, not in a hundred years, not in a thousand years. You have no motivation, no rush There is no concept of time, such Your Majesty, you are not the current you. You will become like the heaven and the earth, without desires and desires, because in your eyes, everything is just the scenery of the Ganges River in time, and the world becomes How, you don't care at all, just like this day, this earth, it will not urge us to finish one thing quickly. Your Majesty, although human life is limited, as long as it is within this limited life, it can be realized as much as possible. With the ideals and aspirations in your heart, no matter how short your life span is, this life is still extremely meaningful.”

Ying Zheng frowned tightly for a long time, then his eyes lit up, he looked up at Li Yang in surprise, and said, "Why are you so reasonable?"

Hearing this, Li Yang smiled, knowing that Ying Zheng must have listened, so he said: "Because I died once, but after I died, I came to Daqin. So, when your majesty dies, maybe It’s possible to go to the future, maybe the future at that time will no longer be the future that I had at the beginning, because we have been changing history and the world now, maybe the earth after 2000 will be a Qin Qiu named by His Majesty , an ideal country in the true sense.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Is this really going to happen?"

Li Yang shook his head: "How can I be sure, but no matter whether we can travel to the future or not, people in the future will definitely know us, know His Majesty's great achievements, His Majesty's name and His Majesty's life will be forever live in this world."

Ying Zheng nodded and laughed: "You're right. Immortality is an unattainable delusion. Cherish this life and try your best to realize your ideals. That's the most meaningful thing."

Li Yang was overjoyed: "Your Majesty can understand a little. There is no doubt that the Great Qin is strong."

Ying Zheng smiled, and then he became much more free and easy, and turned to say: "Let's not talk about longevity, what are you going to do next?"

Li Yang thought for a while, and said: "The New Year is approaching, and after the year, we will start to promote compulsory education. Now, it has been realized that the tiller will have a field, and next autumn, the people's livelihood will be greatly improved and improved, so the development of the handicraft industry It will also be put on the agenda. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the judicial system as soon as possible to realize the rule of law as soon as possible.”

Ying Zheng nodded, and said with great ambition: "Okay, as long as I'm here, Daqin will let you change freely!"

Li Yang bowed deeply: "I will let Your Majesty witness a prosperous and powerful Great Qin Empire!"

Chapter 265 The End of the Year

The twelfth lunar month, the end of the year is approaching.

It was freezing cold outside, and the sky was full of snowflakes, but the ultra-luxury bathroom in Zhen Guojun's mansion was steaming and warm like spring.

When the snow is flying, taking a bath is obviously a kind of enjoyment.

At this time, in Li Yang's bathroom, not only were there several large pots of burning charcoal, but also two stunning beauties, Natasha and Yang Zi, who made one's blood boil.

These two women with devil figures and national beauty only wore a thin gauze, which was completely soaked in water at this time, and the gauze was tightly attached to the body, showing the hot and delicate curves to the fullest. .

Li Yang lay comfortably in the specially made bathtub, while Natasha and Yang Zi rubbed his body one after the other.

Natasha is of East Slavic descent, which is the appearance of Russians and Ukrainians in later generations. She has blond hair, blue eyes, tall and plump figure, sexy and hot, and the soaked tulle clings tightly to her body, showing her hot figure.

And Yang Zifang was twenty years old, with a slender figure and a stunning face. Although she was not as coquettish as Natasha, she was extremely lovely.With a slender figure and full of aura, the water droplets on the black hair dripped down the hair, making the mouth dry and tongue dry.

In the bathroom, the room is full of spring colors.

Outside, it was snowing heavily, what a world of ice and fire!

After sweating in the bathroom for an hour, Li Yang just walked out of the bathroom.

When he came to the courtyard, he saw Uncle Wu taking He Zhang and moving a big drum into the mansion.

Li Yang was very curious and asked, "He Zhang, what are you... doing?"

He Zhang had a flattering expression on his face, and said with a smile: "My subordinate heard Uncle Wu say that there is no drum in the mansion, so he specially ordered the general to make a drum for the mansion."

Li Yang was at a loss: "I am the government of Zhen Guojun, not a county government office, what's the use of drumming?"

These words brought surprise to Uncle Wu and He Zhang's eyes. Uncle Wu said, "Master, the end of the year is approaching. How can Wugu drive away the ghosts of plague?"

Since Li Yang married his wife, Uncle Wu no longer called Li Yang a son, but changed his name to a master.

When Li Yang heard this, he suddenly realized.

It turned out that this drum was used to drive away the plague ghosts.In the words of the dead, it is used to drive away the Nian beast during the Chinese New Year.

On New Year's Eve, according to legend, there was a custom of celebrating the New Year in the Yao and Shun period, but the names are different.It is recorded in "Erya Shitian": "Xia is called Sui, Shang is called Sacrifice, Zhou is called Nian, and Tang Yu is called Zai." Therefore, in the Qin Dynasty, there was already a custom of celebrating the New Year.

New Year's Eve is the last day of the year. According to the "Lushi Chunqiu. Jidongji" written by Lu Buwei, the ancients used drumming to drive away the "ghosts of the epidemic" on the day before the New Year. This is the origin of the "New Year's Eve" festival. .

On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household will use peach stalks to carve the statues of Gods and Yu Lei, and hang them in front of the door on the eve of the New Year's Eve to avoid the intrusion of demons and ghosts.

Later, people thought it was troublesome to carve wooden figures, so they directly drew two statues of gods on the peach wood, named Shentu and Yulei, and hung them on both sides of the door on the afternoon of New Year's Eve to suppress evil and drive away ghosts. This is the original Taofu.

The record about peach wood's ability to ward off evil spirits originated from "Zuo Zhuan", which records that the ancients used peach wood as a bow to perform disaster relief ceremonies. "Zhuangzi" contains: "Put peach branches in the house, and put ashes under them. Boys are not afraid of entering, but ghosts are afraid of it." It can be seen that the ancient people's special belief in peach trees originated from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.For example, "Warring States Policy. Qi Policy Three" said that when Meng Changjun planned to enter Qin, Su Qin told him a fable about clay puppets and peach stems, and persuaded him. You think you are a human being." It can be seen that in the Warring States Period, there was already a practice of peeling peach trees to become human beings.

The pre-Qin period believed that the Spring Festival was an unlucky day, and Nuo dances would be held on this day to drive away ghosts and evil spirits.Sweep the dust and have a banquet to worship the ancestors.

He Zhang placed the drum at the gate of the courtyard, and hung peach charms carved from peach wood on both sides of the gate of the mansion. That is incomparable to ordinary peach charms."

Although Li Yang didn't believe in these things, but for the sake of his hard work, he still praised him "Troubleshooting".

However, considering the difficulty of making gongs and drums, and the time-consuming and labor-intensive making of peach charms, Li Yang felt that it was time to change the customs of the Qin Dynasty for the New Year.

For example, the Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers of later generations are very good.

Well, it looks like it's time to invent gunpowder!
