After the emperor and Concubine Hui left, the remaining four people had nothing to do, so they went to the empty martial arts field to chat about some things, knowing who they were and who they were, just in case the walls had ears.

Jun Xiangru led the three people to stroll to the martial arts field. Except for two brothers, Qianjun and Wanma, who were standing in the distance, there was no one around.

There is also a nine-story building in the distance, which looks very abrupt.

Jun Xiangru introduced: "That's where our princes and grandsons usually study. It contains the royal family's collection of books over the past thousand years. We practice martial arts here in the early morning, and then we go there to receive the teachings of Confucius."

Musk understood as soon as he heard it. The huge martial arts field here is a playground, and that is a school.

I took out the coffee table and teapot from the storage ring and planned to drink tea and chat to pass the time.

The four of them sat on the ground.

Musk directly used his spiritual power to turn into fire to boil water. In five breaths, the water boiled.

This exposed hand was so show-stopping that it made everyone on the side jealous.

"It's better for you immortal cultivators to live a wonderful and carefree life." Jun Xiangru said with emotion.

"People's struggles are not due to comparison with others, but due to their own inner paranoia. Most of the time, they live in a dream weaved by themselves, so they can't see the world clearly. You! You are like a leaf that blinds your eyes and cannot see the mountains! "

Musk said a lot of meaningful words.

"I know it all, but it seems... It shouldn't be like this, it won't be like this, but it can only be like this."

Jun Xiang lowered his head and picked up the teacup as if drinking wine, drinking it all in one gulp to vent his inner uneasiness and hesitation about the future.

The experience he had brought to him during his trip a year ago overturned his knowledge of the past ten years. He came into contact with the environment of the people at the bottom and realized the suffering of the people.

It is not at all consistent with what is written in the book. It is a bit like the peaceful and prosperous age that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty boasted about every day.

"There is no need to be so depressed. Let everything take its course. See your own situation and follow your own path. Think of others' good and cultivate your own mind."

Musk also knew Jun Xiangru's current situation and could only comfort him.

"Have you ever thought about getting out of this vortex? You can no longer stay in this palace. You have to get out of this power center, otherwise I will have to collect your body next time."

"Don't think that your brothers won't do anything to you. Just because you don't fight for it doesn't mean they won't fight for it. Only a cold corpse is no threat."

"Don't overestimate people's hearts, don't underestimate human nature too much. Power will make them crazy. The royal family has no family affection."

Musk told him about some remarks he saw on the Internet, because there is only one throne where one person can dominate all living beings.

"Either you kill all your competitors and ascend to the high throne to overlook all living beings, or you become their stepping stone."

"Your mutual fate was determined the moment you were born. It would be easy for you to jump out while your father is still alive."

"When he is gone that day, you will have no choice. With your current power and strength. There is only one ending. When I come next time, there will definitely be a tomb of yours next to your father's mausoleum. , and then I was there, holding a wine glass and drinking with the stone tablet inscribed with the tomb of the ten princes."

"I don't want to see this end. You are one of my few friends, Musk, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

"As an immortal cultivator, I cannot participate in the change of dynasty power in the mortal world. We also have prohibitions and bottom lines. I really don't want to see your tombstone next to your father's mausoleum next time I pass by Daqian. . That’s all I’m saying, it’s up to you to make your own choice.”

As a disciple of the royal family, he still understands all Musk's principles. However, the ideological logic instilled in him since he was a child can only accept the arrangement of fate.

What can he do? In the past, there were no ministers such as civil servants and military generals to help, and in the future, there were no powerful people such as aristocratic families to back them up.

He could only look at Musk and smile sadly, saying that there was really no solution.

Seeing this, Musk said indifferently: "In war, what is fought is money, not people and rights. When you have money, everything is within the palm of your hand. Many things cannot be changed. But there’s not enough money.”

This time, Jun Xiangru seemed to understand something but not quite. He understood all the words, but he really didn't quite understand the meaning of the words.

Musk simply gave an example.

"Look at the sword on the martial arts field. We regard it as your family's ancestral sword. It is placed there within easy reach. If I offer one tael of gold, some people may not take the risk to steal it and sell it. Then I offer five taels, and it will be very easy. Maybe some people will start to be interested. Then I directly add ten taels, and probably many people will start thinking about how to get it out and sell it."

"Of course, there may be people who still insist on the bottom line and not sell it! Well, even if he doesn't sell it, I will continue to increase the price. When someone hears that this knife is worth a thousand taels or ten thousand taels, will they get it for me? Get it from me Such a generous reward.”

A capable person will not keep focusing on the small things in front of him, but will use his greatest advantages to achieve the ultimate goal.

As soon as these words came out, Jun Xiangru suddenly became enlightened. Yes, isn’t that the truth in the world?

"The king wants to hold the power of the world, and he lies drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman."

"What the princes want is to divide the territory, split the land, draw circles and encircle the land, and create a free and easy title that is independent of worldly affairs, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, and it is hereditary and irreplaceable."

"What the civil and military officials want is more rights given to them by the imperial power, but what the ordinary people want is just a wife and children who are warm on the kang, a field to farm, clothes to keep out the cold when they are cold, and food to eat when they are hungry."

"These are all differences in their positions, and the egoism they think of is not important as to who will really be the emperor."

"These are the rules of the game. It seems that no one can change it. If you have enough strength one day, you can just tear everything down and start over."

Musk continued to indoctrinate him unhurriedly. His history teacher once told him a summary of the feudal dynasty.

"Ah! This..." Jun Xiangru was dumbfounded after hearing this. This was an unvarnished and naked truth, and there was nothing wrong with it. Isn’t that what it is?

"Then, what's the solution?" Jun Xiangru, whose brain had been idle for a while, finally regained consciousness and asked.

"Yes, but it depends on whether you have determination and courage!" Musk said lightly about an issue that made it difficult to make a decision.

"Yes! I definitely have it!" Jun Xiangru expressed his opinion without thinking.

"Courage is a good thing! Just be quiet and listen to me tell you a story about the legendary Wang Mang. I saw this man's deeds in the Fengyun Sect's library."

Musk didn’t attack Jun Xiangru too much, he just wanted him to have more choices from his heart.

Many times, the answer is not the only one, but it depends on making the best self-interested choice based on different perspectives and different stages of cognition. Rather than the gains and losses of the final result, what can bring people more growth is the experience itself of trying, exploring and experiencing.

Wang Mang rose from an official to the emperor directly. This is amazing! He spoke without any hesitation and told Jun Xiangru about the life story of this legendary figure.

?????

"After Wang Mang came to power, he first formulated the national economic policy, established the well-field system, private ownership of slaves, five-level credit, and six-management policy, that is, nationalizing salt, iron, wine, currency, mountains, forests, and rivers, and using public power to control the market economy. Balance prices, prevent businessmen from seeking huge profits, and increase treasury revenue. These are good ways and means."

"Down to the common people's health care and marriage, official offices and feudal states, punishments, etiquette, fields, houses, cars and clothing and other ceremonies are all in accordance with the law. There is no problem with this. There are laws to follow, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be punished. This is "Rewards and punishments are clear"

After hearing and evaluating Wang Mang's decree, Jun Xiangru felt that there was no big problem and he quite agreed with it.

"This series of reforms is very good and full of ideals. However, the people at the bottom suffer from it before benefiting from it. Moreover, the reform progresses too fast, and orders are changed day by day, so that the people and officials do not know what to do. "Wang Tian", "Private Property" ", which also affected the interests of big landowners, bureaucrats and businessmen. In addition, the former royal relatives lost their positions, which naturally caused dissatisfaction and resistance. He eventually died in the hands of a group of armed men composed of the Green Forest Army."

Musk shook his head and replied.

Wang Mang is a very legendary person, and many scholars say that he is a time traveler. For example, vernier calipers, miniskirts... and other items with great modern culture.

?????

"The story I tell you is not to make you repeat the same mistakes, but to learn lessons. Everything must be planned slowly and not in a hurry." Musk concluded with one sentence.

"In fact, all wars are a distribution of benefits. When the war comes, the king from above just shouts and it is over. The noble families donate generously and provide swords. The landlords and gentry donate money and materials, and provide food. And the common people at the bottom , I can only provide my nephew."

"After the war, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the aristocratic families swept the battlefield to pick the fruits of victory. The landlords and gentry obtained more land to grow food, while the common people at the bottom were only rewarded with a period of rest and recuperation, and they had to search for the bones of their descendants. Everyone has a bright future.”

"Chaos is about to break out in the Daqian Kingdom. As for how to choose, I can't make the decision for you. You can think about it yourself and just give me an answer tomorrow."

For Musk, he didn't want to interfere with this matter, but Jun Xiangru was one of his few friends in the world, so he really felt sympathy.

Regarding the problems faced by Daqian, his brain, which has been baptized by the explosion of information, points directly to the problem itself: the war is actually about money.

Musk is good at both making money and making trouble!

Making money in the mortal world is not a matter of minutes. It is something that can be done easily. A must-have skill for time travellers: making soap!

As a science student, this is easy.

The class representative said: Burn the stone with fire and burn it at high temperature to obtain quicklime. When the quicklime meets water, it releases heat, and the chemical reaction produces hydrated lime. Add water to stir and precipitate. The clear water above is lime water.

Add sodium hydroxide to lime water, and the resulting calcium carbonate will sink to the bottom, and the liquid above is sodium bicarbonate solution.

Lye, sodium hydroxide is commonly known as caustic soda and fire soda. There are trona ores in many places, and it can be purified appropriately.

Since it is simple to get the most important sodium hydroxide solution, pour it into the pot, then add animal fat, such as lard, and then heat it up and start heating, stirring constantly during the heating process.

After the ingredients in the pot boil, continue to heat over low heat to fully saponify the fat. Stir constantly during this period. This process takes a relatively long time, during which sodium, a higher fatty acid, is produced, which is the main component of soap.

After most of the water in the pot has evaporated, you can pour it into the mold and let it cool down to form. It will take about an hour for the soap to solidify.

With the most primitive soap, soap can definitely be improved. Adding salt during stirring can increase the hardness of soap, or adding spices, petals, milk, etc. to soap making to make soap and sell it to the powerful class at a high price. Earn high profits quickly.

If there is money, there will be food, and naturally people will seek refuge. Through a series of purchases, it is easy to arm a well-equipped army.

Musk took out a small notebook, wrote and drew, and wrote down the materials he recalled first. After all, he had wanted to make this soap for a long time, but he never had time to fiddle with it.

Today I happened to meet a person who is trying to make money and is trying to make money, so let me get you involved!

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the sun shines on the earth, making the clouds in the sky colorful.

Anyway, the level of the palace chef is just that, and Musk doesn’t want to taste it anymore.

He directly asked the chef, who had been serving as the background board for a long time, to start working. He took out all barbecue-related items from the storage ring.

Products produced by Iron Hammer must be of high quality. What's more, it's still a low-level spirit and flesh. The fragrance directly makes me cry. Confucius is reading quietly next door.

He really couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so he closed the book, came out of the nine-story tower, and walked straight towards the barbecue grill that Musk and the others had set up.

Although Confucius was old, his body was strong, his steps were steady and vigorous, and his actions were as fast as the wind and powerful.

Musk and others soon saw an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a square scarf and white clothes, holding a folding fan and a ruler-like magic weapon at his waist. From this look, he was an educated Confucian. Monk.

Sure enough, when Jun Xiangru saw him, he quickly kowtowed and saluted: "Student, I have seen Confucius."

"Well, this is not a school, so there is no need to be polite." The old master calmly and calmly supported the king.

"Kong has met all of you fellow Taoists." The old master took the lead in bowing and saying hello.

I originally thought that cultivating immortals meant beating monsters, absorbing spiritual energy, and taking some elixirs, but I didn't expect that there were other methods. Sword cultivation, body cultivation, and Confucianism are the orthodox sects, and there are also evil cultivation, demon cultivation, demon cultivation... and other evil sects.

"I've met Mr. Kong." The three fools are not stupid. The person opposite them can't tell that they are better than themselves.

"Hahaha, I am also tempted by delicious food. I smell its fragrance and look at its desires. Don't mind if Kong comes here to disturb everyone's enjoyment!" Confucius said politely, stroking his white beard.

"I don't mind, I don't mind, come on, Mr. Kong, please sit down."

They couldn't even see through the old man's strength. Who dared to mind? The three of them could only accompany him and carefully greet him to sit cross-legged.

After all, the barbecue is almost ready, so let’s serve some tea to soothe your throat.

But when Confucius saw the glass tea set, he couldn't move his eyes away. Come on, Musk looked at it and thought that after eating and drinking, he would have to send a bag of small gifts to get rid of this big boss.
