prosperous national teacher

Recently, Qingzhou is almost overwhelmed by myths and legends.

For Su Yi, Qingzhou has been almost flooded by rumors recently.

Su Tianshi suddenly rose into the air and stood up with a golden light. His eyes were lightly closed and he pointed at Balabala. All the legends of apotheosis begin with this sentence pattern.

According to the folklore, Su Tianshi seems to have the great power to move mountains and fill the sea, so that the common people in the Qingzhou prefecture began to secretly bow down to the governor's mansion just like the common people in the capital when Su Yi first showed his "magic power". .

Fortunately, he has already experienced it once in the capital, and Mu Yan is quite familiar with handling this kind of thing. After several prohibitions and explanations, the number of worshipers disappeared, but Su Yi's reputation has also risen to a higher level.

An immortal who doesn't care or even likes the people to worship and worship him is different from all monks and Taoists, and even the hermits can't help but sigh with emotion after hearing about it.Although Su Tianshi is in the mortal world, doing many things that benefit the common people, but for Su Tianshi, he himself is still outside the world.What he did was only what he wanted, and only for the ideas in his heart.He did these things, and even paid a huge price, not for the sake of fame or gain, and he did not even accept the gratitude and respect of others. He just chose to do so simply and from his own heart.

Compared with Su Yi, those reclusive people are inferior.

It can be said that she does not seek fame and fortune, but it also has the meaning of escaping.The so-called Xiaoyin hides in the wild, but that's all.

The small hermit hides in the fields, the middle hermit hides in the city, and the big hermit hides in the court.Those who live in seclusion in the mountains and old forests can only use the external environment to achieve the expectation of not being disturbed by the outside world.However, since they rely on the external environment, it shows that they can only achieve inner peace by relying on the tranquility of the external environment.This kind of tranquility is obviously not real tranquility, but self-deception.

Hiding in the middle of the city, a person with a truly strong mind is not disturbed by the environment.They live the same life as the world. From the outside, they are no different from ordinary people. They walk in the bustling market without pretending to be noble, but they are calm inside, with a sense of returning to the original.

As for the people of great hermit, they entered the court as officials, kept their inner ideals, and acted promisingly, but their hearts were inactive.This means that what they do may benefit the common people and have a far-reaching impact.But they are not interested in fame and fortune, they just follow their inner will.They are indifferent to all praise or criticism, no matter what others think of them, but the people of Great Hermit are as leisurely and content as ever in their hearts.

Isn't Su Tianshi a real hermit who even hides the truth?

In the eyes of outsiders, Su Tianshi is well-known and respected by the whole country.But as far as Su Tianshi himself is concerned, his words and deeds have not changed at all from the beginning to the end.He can live in his own Tianshi's mansion, and if he wants to relax on a whim, it doesn't matter if he lives in the governor's mansion as a guest.He can show off in front of others, discuss with others, and outwit others; he can also thank guests behind closed doors, and be happy at home alone.

When Su Tianshi's name came from the capital, everyone in Qingzhou respected Su Tianshi's name only for a powerful person. Although he had heard a lot of rumors, but had never seen it with his own eyes, there was always a trace of disbelief in his heart. meaning.

But now, Su Tianshi has not really shown his face in front of the people of Qingzhou, so he doesn't need to give up his reputation compared to being in the capital.

With a few folklore and the emotions of a few celebrities, the fire of Su Yi's reputation in the capital was ignited, and it was out of control in an instant.

To this, Su Yi just wanted to say, what?What are you talking about?

Does it have something to do with him hiding in the court?

"But your actual actions are indeed like this." Mu Yan said, "So it's not wrong."

Su Yi frowned: "Really? I didn't find out."

Mu Yan sighed: "Because you are ignorant of this, it can better reflect your true heart?"

Regarding this, Su Yi could only hehe.Heart?What is your heart?An immortal rice bug heart?

Anyway, I just don't want to make progress, I'm super afraid of trouble, and I don't want to communicate too much with people.In the past, it was a last resort in exchange for Mi Chong's life, and he had to be well-behaved in front of his elders and bosses. Now that he has the confidence, he is a little willful, and he can live as he pleases.

What fame and wealth, what scenery, in front of the house, is just a headache for socializing.

"Okay, let's not mention this." Su Yi said, "It's finally time to dry the salt. I hope the weather will be good recently."

The biggest factor affecting the drying of salt is the environment.But even so, compared to setting up a small pot to boil salt, the output is still much larger.

"More than that." Mu Yan said, "The glass is made, do you want to take a look?"

Su Yi didn't interfere much with glass and shipbuilding.He gave the blueprint, talked a few words about how to manage the craftsmen, and then focused all his attention on drying the salt.

Su Yi didn't care about things that could be done by others, including the cultivation of corn and fruit trees, which was also handed over to officials of Secretary of Agriculture.Only the drying of salt involved too many advanced things for this dynasty, so it had to be presided over by Su Yi himself.

However, because it is too advanced to be understood by people, so many myths and legends have been derived.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Mu Yan said that glass has been manufactured, and although Su Yi is used to glass products, he still has some interest, and wants to see what level the current glass manufacturing is compared to the craftsmanship of later generations.

After Su Yi came to the glass workshop, he was not very satisfied with the glass that had just been made, to be honest.

The glass has a cloudy hue, mottled color, and large and small bubbles inside, so it can only be made into small utensils.In the eyes of modern people, these utensils probably have a natural beauty.But from a technical point of view, the technology is crude and unqualified.

Mu Yan was amazed at the fired crystal-like utensils, but seeing Su Yi's frowning, he swallowed his praise.

Seeing that Su Yi quickly summoned the craftsmen, inquired carefully about the glass-making process, and then asked them to demonstrate on the spot and teach them step by step, Mu Yan thought to himself, it’s a good thing he didn’t say what he said, otherwise he would appear to be too ignorant up.

Su Yi was obviously very dissatisfied with this batch of items. He bluntly said that they were crudely made, but he regarded them as treasures. Isn't he ignorant?

But Mu Yan also has deeper confidence that these things can be sold for a lot of money.As Su Yi said, information and technology are not equal.In my own eyes, something crudely made may be fine in the eyes of others.

Just like the glass products that Su Yi despises are amazing to Mu Yan, to those overseas people who have never seen or rarely seen the items produced in China, the rough-made porcelain that he despises may be It is also a treasure that is willing to exchange a lot of treasures, right?

It seems that it is not a risky move to ship the "bad" defective products of official kilns and sell them overseas in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver to fill the treasury.

Under Su Yi's personal improvement, the glass products that come out are much better than before.More importantly, according to Su Yi's guidance, these craftsmen have figured out how to improve the quality of glass.

According to the traditional craftsman's practice, these defective products should be smashed.However, Mu Yan was influenced by Su Yi, and also thinking of maximizing the benefits, he ordered people to take away these glass products and planned to sell them directly.

When Mu Yan came to Qingzhou to be the governor, he not only bought Zhuangzi's house, but also set up shop and everything.Not to mention that people in this era did not actually discriminate against merchants much. Even in the late feudal period, officials would collude with merchants, because gold and silver were too useful, and that little salary was really not enough.

While the land was the foundation, necessary commerce was a sure source of gold and silver.Although they will not expand their business, they must have it to ensure the continuous inflow of gold and silver.

The shop opened by Mu Yan, although with his threat, no one will be embarrassed.But the business has long been divided up by the wealthy families entrenched in the area.The business of Mu Yan's family's shop is indifferent, and it looks like it won't die of hunger.

After all, there are only those shops that can sell at this time.

Mu Yan originally planned to seize the market by selling salt after the salt was released, but now he might try selling glass.

Su Yi looked at Mu Yan with a strange expression on his face, asking people to count the first batch of glass products produced, even the broken glass pieces were not spared.

Forget about those shoddy glass products, just sell them as a rarity.But those fragments are also collected, isn't it a bit...too boring?

Mu Yan smiled and remained silent.

Then Su Yi saw the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen.

Those broken glass shards were polished into the shapes of various gemstones, embedded in gold and silver, and the grade was greatly improved in an instant.

Because the current gemstone polishing process is the same, and pure gemstones are even rarer.Those "gemstones" polished from glass shards are a bit brighter than real gemstones.

This reminded Su Yi of something, "rhinestones".

Everyone knows what the so-called rhinestones are, so there is no need to say more.Su Yi hesitated for a while, and finally overcame the already weak moral concept in his heart, and finally embarked on the road of no return to selling fakes, and told the craftsmen the relevant theories of rhinestone cutting with great interest.

Swarovski was the first to discover that glass, like other gemstones, can show excellent brilliance through the concentrating of facets, and then derived the "diamond cutting" technology. The more facets, the more brilliant the gemstone's brilliance.Eventually all gems will be processed like this.

Due to the hardness of the stone and the skill of the craftsman, the maximum number of facets that can be cut is naturally different.After faceting, the brilliance of the gemstone is also closely related to the texture of the gemstone itself.

But just like ordinary people seeing mixed rhinestones and real diamonds at first glance, they must not be able to tell the difference between the two.This failed glass shard, after cutting, has a more brilliant brilliance than traditional gemstones.

Today's gemstones are mostly made into spherical or drop-shaped, even if they are in other shapes, the surface is smooth.This is the traditional aesthetics of Huaguo.From a traditional point of view, it is true that the smoother the light, the more concentrated it is.

So when Su Yi said about cutting, the craftsman still hesitated.But hesitation is hesitation, he will definitely do it, and after doing it, he will deeply admire Su Yi again.

Su Tianshi is supernatural and omnipotent.This point of view was once again deeply imprinted in the hearts of craftsmen.

Mu Yan was also joking, even if he knew how to make jewelry, what else could Su Yi not know?

Su Yi snorted coldly: "Others don't know, how can you not know? It's obvious that I will tell when I have seen it."

Mu Yan said with emotion: "In the world you see, some are disillusioned, and some are more prosperous than today."

Su Yi said: "That's nature. Going to the sky and entering the earth, omnipotent, even this earth can't restrain the footsteps of human beings."

Su Yi looked proud. With one hand behind his back, he pointed at the starry sky with the other, and said, "Now, your journey is the sea. In the future, our journey will be the sea of ​​stars."

Mu Yan followed Su Yi's finger and looked up at Haoran Starry Sky.The starry sky has always been called the domain of gods, and it is said that there are gods living on every star.In the future, as a human being, is it possible to set foot on the stars?

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it's hard to imagine." Mu Yan also stretched out his hand, facing the crescent moon, and said, "Is there a fairy on the moon? Is there a fairy palace?"

Su Yi said: "No."

Mu Yan said: "If human beings go to the moon or other stars and find that gods don't exist, will they still believe in gods?"

Su Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Yes. Because the more you know, the more you don't know. Some people want to explore the unknown, while others fear the unknown, and attribute the unknown to ghosts and gods. The fear of the unknown is human beings. Instinct. Many people can’t overcome their instinct, so religion or something will always exist.”

"Compared to exploring the unknown by yourself, or even paying unimaginable hardships, isn't it easier to believe that a grand consciousness affects everything?" Su Yi sighed, "Isn't it easier to beg for gifts from others than to work hard on your own? "

"It doesn't have to be reaping for nothing, it may also be a higher ideal such as fairness and justice." Su Yi thought of the Buddhism that was passed to the Central Plains, and the transaction after the customs of the Central Plains were changed.

Do not practice in this life but in the afterlife.

Although this life does not necessarily repay good and evil reincarnation with karma, doing evil and doing good in this life will always be fulfilled in the next life.

Not only Buddhism, most primitive religions and folk concepts in China are always inseparable from the theory of karma.

Karma is not necessarily true, but everyone is more willing to believe that it is true.

Because good and evil are rewarded only by human beings, it is often too difficult.For example, if a tyrant expropriates and extorts money, it will take the lives of many, many people to overthrow a tyrant, and not everyone dares to rise up.The common people are more willing to beg God to send a thunderbolt to strike the tyrant to death.

Su Yi smiled at Mu Yan: "So He Qing, there are many incomprehensible and unfair things in the world, what do you want?"

"Do your best." Mu Yan said, "Anyway, I will never beg others to enlighten me."

Su Yi laughed loudly: "That's true."

Mu Yan said: "You really look a bit superior today."

Su Yi said: "In terms of what I know, I may really be an expert in the world. Because I stand taller than you and see farther than you. I am not as tall as you, but I stand on the shoulders of giants." .”

With the accumulation of thousands of years, traversers still have an advantage.Although there is no difference between single-round personal abilities, traversers and local residents, they can do whatever they want.But in terms of vision and knowledge, it is indeed a world of difference.

Mu Yan said: "I am thinking about discussing with you again. Speaking of which, didn't you say that it is possible for me to see the real moon?"

Su Yi said: "After the glass technology is improved, there is still a chance."

Su Yi clapped his hands suddenly and said, "Oh, I thought of it."

Mu Yan asked: "What did you think of?"

Su Yi said: "Are you saying that I still have to show up to meet those wealthy and famous people? I was still thinking about how to shock them. I can invite them to watch the moon. I don't think it's more shocking than this."

It is expected that a person with such a firm mind as Mu Yan can't help but be dumbfounded.For the ancients, Su Yi's words were too shocking.

Although Mu Yan knew that Su Yi could do what he said, he still couldn't help but feel agitated.

After a long while, Mu Yan shook his head and said: "If this matter gets to the middle of Beijing, those old fellows will surely come to His Majesty and cry every day."

It was agreed to meet friends with the piano, but Su Yi came to Qingzhou, and nothing happened.

After arriving in Qingzhou, Su Yi showed his great ability of "creating land out of thin air", inviting everyone to listen to the piano, and now he invites people to see the real moon.Such delicious food is cheap for the bumpkins in Qingzhou, how can the aristocratic family in the capital bear it?

Even if it is a wealthy family, the grades are different.Although the aristocratic clans all made their fortunes from the local area, it is well known that only the aristocratic clans with a firm foothold in the capital dare to call themselves "the aristocratic clan".

Beijing is the place where the aristocratic families gather. Except for a very few aristocratic families, such as the Kong family, the rest of the wealthy families will go to the capital after they are capable.Although being entrenched in the local area as the emperor of the earth is also very easy, but if you don't enter the center of the imperial court, you can't get rid of the word "earth".

The magic of Su Tianshi, the Jingzhong family is not as good as the Qingzhou wealthy family, the Jingzhong family must be very depressed.

Although it was to prevent Su Tianshi from going to northern Xinjiang, they made the bad policy of letting Su Tianshi leave the capital, and they were afraid of respecting Su Yi, so they would not do anything to imprison Su Yi's freedom, but the depression in their hearts was inevitable.

"Oh, if they like it, I'll just send the design to His Majesty." Su Yi said, "As long as they don't have to be stupid enough to look at the sun. It will burn their eyes."

"Doesn't the moon also have light?" Mu Yan asked curiously, "Why doesn't the light of the moon burn your eyes?"

"Because the moon reflects sunlight, it doesn't emit light by itself." Su Yi explained to Mu Yan the relationship between the moon, the earth and the sun, and incidentally talked about the astronomical phenomena of the eclipse of the moon and the sun. scientific truth.

Mu Yan was amazed when he heard that.In this era, both the eclipse of the moon and the eclipse of the dog are extremely ominous.Every time it appears, it will definitely cause shocks in the government and the public. The king will definitely go to the altar to pray, and no matter whether there is a mistake or not, he will condemn himself.

Turns out it's just... explainable?

"Not only this, but also comets." Su Yi said, "In the world, whenever a comet comes to the world, there must be a catastrophe in the world. In fact, it is just the orbit of the comet. The comet was named after people in later generations and became Halley's Comet , Every 76 o’clock a year, it will come to the vicinity of the earth and be observed by human beings. So any catastrophe is fake, anyway, it will definitely appear in more than 70 years.”

Mu Yan took a deep breath, and said, "When you say that, I am much less in awe of the world."

Su Yi said: "So I didn't say that the more you know, the less and less things you were in awe of before. But human beings will not stop being in awe because of this. The more you know, the more mysteries you don't know. It just makes me more awed.”

"For example, when human beings have not set foot in the whole of China, people are in awe of people outside the Central Plains. After the people outside the Central Plains are familiar with it, people are in awe of overseas. When the whole earth is controlled by people, what is in awe is the sky full of stars. The solar system, the Milky Way, the universe, what else is there outside the universe?" Su Yi sighed, "It's a pity that I'm stuck here, but I can't see it."

When he left, modern technology was still advancing rapidly.The spacecraft of our Great China has been launched many times, and the moon landing plan is progressing steadily.

In his lifetime, Huaguo can also land on the moon, Mars, or other planets.The detection machines of the countries on earth must also be able to send back more information about other planets and planets outside the solar system.

The earth can no longer satisfy human exploration, and the journey of human beings has expanded to the stars and seas.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see it.

No matter how happy he is in this era, Su Yi still misses the original era uncontrollably.Not only because his first memory was in that era, and there were his relatives in that era, but more importantly, he recognized that era.

In that era, the mind was more open, the materials were more abundant in that era, the era had greater possibilities and more mysteries, which made people deeply fascinated.

What can we do in this era?Even though he has so many achievements, he is honored as a celestial master by everyone, and he has created many myths and legends.But for Su Yi himself, these are very superficial knowledge, and they are very common things in his time.

If he is greedy for fame and fortune, it would be good to use these things that most people in the modern age know to fool his prosperity and wealth.But he is really not interested in fame and fortune.He's a tech geek, he's only interested in technology.

Maybe his experiments didn't yield much, but he just likes to explore and research, like every scientific experiment to be formed in his hands, and every theory to be verified.

However, now he can only do some superficial experiments, which are not so much technology as nostalgia.

He cannot study, only repeat.

For technology geeks, ancient times are really not attractive.

"What's more..." Su Yi whispered to himself, "Even the emperors and rich families in this world can't compare to the well-off families of later generations."

Televisions, computers, lights, air-conditioners, refrigerators, electric water heaters, etc. How can the convenience of modern life be imagined by ancient people?
