273. Ancient Chemists
"Jingwen Jiedushi, what's wrong with you coming here?" Yuan Tiangang asked.
Yuan Tiangang didn't want to continue the topic just now, because Jing Wen was really shocking. Yuan Tiangang knew that he was wrong originally, and he always thought that Jing Wen was a jester and could survive by relying on the gift of the emperor. But now he found that Jing Wen's thinking was not based on others' people at all, but on his own people. Those who believe in himself were all heroes, and it would be best if such people could have less contact with them. And those who believe in themselves would never believe in any religion. Even if they believe in their nominal beliefs, they are also a false believer.
Yuan Tiangang did not intend to say that Jing Wen was a hero, because it was useless to say it. Heroes actually did not mean that they had to rebel. Many people thought that heroes would rebel. In fact, this was a misunderstanding. The word hero was just a neutral word, but it had added a derogatory meaning to later generations. In history, many people were evaluated as heroes by some people, but they were not killed by the emperors at that time, such as Cao Cao. Therefore, saying that heroes were just a neutral word, which did not mean that heroes must rebel. Heroes were just a belief, believing in themselves, and relying on their own various means to gain glory and wealth. The truly wise emperors would not absolutely exclude heroes, because most of the heroes were capable people, so they were actually in a mutually exploited relationship.
"Master Yuan, I'm here to see. The explosion here a few days ago. A few Taoist boys made an alchemy furnace and exploded a few days ago? So I want to come and see!" Jing Wen said.
"It turns out that the Jiedushi Jingwen wants to see this explosion. What's so good about this?" Yuan Tiangang asked curiously.
Jing Wen said, "I just want to see it, I'm a little curious! I'm just a little curious about Taoist alchemy."
"Are you curious about alchemy?" Yuan Tiangang asked again.
"Yes, I'm a little curious about alchemy. I hope Master Yuan can satisfy my wish!" Jing Wen said.
"Since that's the case, then go in and have a look!" Yuan Tiangang said.
Yuan Tiangang brought Jing Wen to the alchemy room and asked Jing Wen to see the alchemy. However, Jing Wen was not curious about this alchemy. He just wanted to see if the Taoist could make gunpowder. Because gunpowder was one of the four major inventions in China. Jing Wen had already developed movable type printing technology and improved papermaking technology. If gunpowder is made again now, Jing Wen would have made two and a half of the four major inventions. As for the compass, there was no need to invent this, because there were some such things as a compass in ancient times, and now there were compass in the army, which could not be considered an invention.
"Master, what did you put in the last time you refined the alchemy?" Jing Wen asked.
Yuan Tiangang immediately called a Taoist boy and asked: "Qingfeng, what did you put in the last time you refining the alchemy, but it caused a divine punishment?"
"Master, I just put some saltpeter, sulfur, and finally some toner. After analysis, I found that the situations that caused the divine punishment were all put in these three things. I thought about whether these three things that could cause the divine punishment were put together. As a result, I succeeded. I succeeded. As expected, this time the divine punishment broke out more than before!"
This little Taoist boy was indeed very excited because he discovered his research results and discovered the law of the so-called "Heavenly Condemnation" outbreak. Jing Wen was also surprised when he saw this little Taoist boy so excited, because this little Taoist boy could actually study such things? If it was based on the ideas of other Taoist priests, he should think that this was all Godly Condemnation, which was caused by his failure to do it. But this little Taoist boy could actually study the law of Godly Condemnation. This is simply unimaginable.
"Qingfeng, it's all you. What kind of divine punishment are you studying? As a result, the alchemy room has been blown up now! Don't study it in the future!" Yuan Tiangang said.
But Jing Wen immediately said, "Master Yuan. This little Taoist boy is very interesting. Can you let him go to me? How many days do I hope I can borrow him?"
The reason why Jing Wen said this was because he had just heard that Yuan Tiangang had stopped this little Taoist boy from continuing to study, which made Jing Wen realize one of the reasons for the slow development of ancient chemistry. In fact, ancient Chinese chemistry was caused by alchemy Taoist priests, but these Taoist priests who were dying were religious workers. These people attributed some mysterious phenomena to mysterious power. This is actually a wrong understanding, because if these sciences were attributed to faith, they would probably be afraid of the so-called "heaven punishment", which made them afraid to continue to study. Therefore, Jing Wen wanted to prevent this situation from happening. Now that this little Taoist priest can have the courage to study this kind of "heaven punishment", then take him over and let him continue to study. If he continues to stay here, he may be affected by Yuan Tiangang's religious education, and he may return to the road of a religious worker in the future. In this way, there will be great losses in scientific research.
"Master, who is this?" The little Taoist boy looked at Jing Wen and found that Jing Wen was not much older than him, so he asked immediately.
Yuan Tiangang immediately said: "This is the governor of Jingwen and an official of the court."
"I have met the adult, where did you ask me to go just now?" asked the little Taoist Tong Qingfeng.
"Aren't you very curious about these things? As long as you follow me, you can study whatever you like, and you can study what you like. As for God's punishment, you don't have to be afraid, I will take this!" Jing Wen said.
The little Taoist Tong Qingfeng looked at Yuan Tiangang with a desire. Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but talk and said, "You can keep people, but you can't keep your heart. What can I do if I want to go! If you want to go, go!"
"Thank you, Master!" said the little Taoist Tong Qingfeng.
When Jing Wen saw this Taoist boy who was at least 11 or 2 years old, he would be his future chemist. Now that he has this interest and dares to study, Jing Wen must of course train him well. In the future, maybe he can lead a large number of chemists so that he can develop chemistry.
"Qingfeng Little Taoist, come with Shushu! Shushu will be studied for you. You can buy Shushu for any materials you want!" Jing Wen said temptingly.
