Chapter 439
What does the emergence of pen and paper mean?
It means that human civilization can be passed on in a more convenient and simple way!
Similarly, this means that the spread of civilization will be faster than in the past!
With this thing, there will be fewer and fewer ignorant human beings, and more and more people will be enlightened!
An ethnic group can be destroyed; but if a civilization wants to be destroyed, the difficulty is too high!
Even if only a few words are spread, it is enough to prove that this civilization once existed and was glorious...
"The effect of this thing is indeed good. Sage Taiqing said before that if you are writing a book, even if it has three thousand words, a few sheets of paper will be enough! Moreover, we are developing a printing tool. As long as there are enough fonts, Three thousand words can be imprinted on paper with a snap of your fingers, and immediately spread throughout the world!"
When Di Xin heard what the Supreme Master said, he smiled and nodded, and then said slowly.
Pen and paper!
Typography!
Taishang Laozi's eyes changed slightly, and deep in his eyes, there was an unprecedented expression of intention.
Why did he write the Tao Te Ching? Not only to identify his own way, but also to make his ideas accepted and passed on by more people.
No matter how many disciples you recruit, you can't pass on your ideas to generations of people and educate them.
But what has always embarrassed him is that writing books on bamboo slips is too difficult and the speed of dissemination is too slow.
But now, with the advent of paper, pen and printing, he feels that it may no longer be difficult for his ideas to reach the world.
"Incredible...unbelievable..."
The Supreme Master was speechless and praised him repeatedly, his thoughts changing in his mind.
His way is to have no desires and no demands, but today, I feel that I actually have some desires in my heart!
"Right Prime Minister, how is the food stored in the city now? Is it enough for the people to eat?"
How could Di Xin not know these thoughts in Taishang Laozi's mind? After all, this man took the initiative to show up in later history and taught the world the glorious meaning of the Tao Te Ching. Now, seeing paper and pen, listening to It would be strange not to be tempted to learn about printing, but he didn't make a big offer. Instead, he changed the topic and asked Shang Rong.
Hearing the sound, Yun Zhongzi immediately pricked up his ears and looked at Shang Rong nervously.
Food is the most important thing for the people. Although it seems that the people of Chaoge City are not so short of food at the moment, we still cannot rely on guesswork and must have real evidence.

"Your Majesty, there is no shortage of food in Chaoge City. Our food has been stored and dried in the mines and caves as you said, maintaining constant temperature and ventilation as you mentioned. The losses caused by this flood have been , not too big, it only flooded a granary..."
"Moreover, this season is the harvest season for summer grains. The corn that everyone planted has survived the flood because it is tall enough, as well as soybeans, peanuts, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, potatoes and the like. Grains are now in the season to be eaten. The stored grains can not be used for the time being. With just the grains, everyone is living a pretty good life. Look at that little fat man, after this disaster, not only did he not lose weight, I also gained a few pounds..."
Shang Rong clasped his fists and replied respectfully, then pointed at a little fat man not far away and said with a smile.
"You grow corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and potatoes?"
Yun Zhongzi heard the sound, looked at Shang Rong happily, and asked urgently.
"Yes, Dashang now cultivates corn alternately with wheat. Plant wheat in autumn, plant corn after harvest in summer, and then wait until late autumn to harvest, and so on. When planting corn, we follow the king's instructions and plant soybeans.
fertile field
, pumpkins are planted among the alleys, peanuts are planted in the sandy soil, and potatoes are planted together with vegetables! By the way, there are also peppers, which are really good things. This flood has made everything damp. Everyone
Everyone likes to eat chili peppers to remove moisture from the body..."
Shang Rong nodded without thinking. After answering, he looked at Yun Zhongzi's ecstatic expression, turned to look at Di Xin, and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, what happened to this immortal who has been to Chaoge City before?
So happy?"
"The fine seeds we planted were sourced from overseas by fellow Taoist Yun Zhongzi."
Di Xin explained with a smile.
"Shang Rong, see my savior!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Rong's gaze towards Yun Zhongzi changed immediately. Deep in his eyes, he was filled with gratitude and reverence that was so strong that he couldn't conceal it. Without any explanation, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Yun Zhongzi.
Ring your head.
Although this flood did not cause much damage to the granary, if there is no corn to be harvested and there are still pumpkins, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans and peanuts brought back from overseas, the life will not be easy.
Knowing how difficult it will be,
I am afraid that by then, even if there is still plenty of food stored in the warehouse, the people will be in chaos and will not be able to deal with it as easily as they do now.
All credit for this must go to Yun Zhongzi.
If he hadn't brought these fine seeds from overseas, suffering would have hung over the human race like a dark cloud.
Moreover, these overseas improved varieties are not meant for years of famine. Even in years of good harvest, they can enrich the diet of the human race and are of great benefit to the human body!
During this period, he set an example and ate whole grains all the time, but instead of feeling tired, he was still energetic.
The only bad thing is that after eating sweet potatoes and peanuts, there are really more stinky farts.
But what does farting mean at this juncture?
If you haven’t eaten enough, you may not even be qualified to fart!
For such a benevolent act, not only asking Shang Rong to kowtow to him a few times, but even if Shang Rong had his head cut off, he would be happy to do so.
"Get up quickly, it doesn't have to be like this." Hearing this, Yun Zhongzi hurriedly helped Shang Rong up from the ground, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You want to thank me, but in fact, I also want to say thank you to you! You don't know,
I'm really worried that you here will also burn these fine seeds I brought back."
"Burn it on fire? What kind of crazy person would actually do such a thing?"
Shang Rong was shocked, looked at Yun Zhongzi in disbelief, and said in surprise.
Such good overseas breeding can't be found even if you ask for it. It's amazing that some people will burn them to the ground?
If he hadn't heard this with his own ears, Shang Rong couldn't believe his ears. Moreover, he really wanted to tell the guy who burned these overseas seeds, you don't want it, but don't burn it either, give it to me, I don't want it.
Disgusting!
"Ji Fa!"
Yun Zhongzi smiled bitterly and said slowly.
"Ji Fa, it's not surprising. He always confronts the king. If the king is willing to cultivate overseas high-quality seeds, he will naturally say no." Shang Rong suddenly understood, nodded, with a look of surprise, and then chuckled.
