royal robes

Chapter 421

Yeluzhen said: "This seat is actually just here to see the situation of the mount. There are still many things to deal with. If the mount is in the palace, I will come back at night and take you away directly."

"It's unreasonable..." Zong Xin said depressedly: "Forget it, let's eat first, Tianya, how far have you practiced your Nine Suns Burning Heaven Art?"

"Master, I haven't learned my first Yang yet, so there's no way I'm too weak in martial arts."

"It's okay, it's okay, practice slowly anyway, as a teacher, you have already learned it. You must practice hard. To be a teacher is to suffer from poor martial arts, so you can't repeat the same mistakes, you know?"

Tian Ya nodded and said: "That's right, Master, if you practiced martial arts a few years ago, you would definitely be stronger than now. What did you do before?"

"Reading and writing is also very hard work, but as a teacher, I also realized a truth. In fact, you don't need to read and write. As long as your martial arts are good enough, no one dares to provoke you. When you grow up, your martial arts must be better than your teacher. Who dares to mess with you?" If he provokes you, he will kill his whole family, and if he is really not relieved, he will destroy the whole country."

"Well! The disciple will work hard."

A large group of people watched the two masters and apprentices talking nonsense, and everyone couldn't understand why Zong Xin taught his apprentices like this.In fact, although Zong Xin's martial arts are good, his martial arts are worth nothing compared to other abilities... Ye Luzhen would rather exchange all his martial arts for Zongzhen's talent and military accomplishments, but Zong Xin cared more about martial arts Is there something wrong with this person?

"Little brother, you feel very strange, don't you?"

"Nonsense, did Zong Xin say that on purpose?" Yeluzhen said depressedly: "He just didn't want others to know how he taught his apprentices, so he deliberately said that martial arts are more important. I think Zong Xin spends most of his time teaching Tianya's art of war and the way of governing the country. This kid is Guo Wei's son, if he learns Zong Xin's skills, will our Khitan still have a way to survive?"

Yeluhong said depressedly: "It's no wonder, you don't communicate much with Zong Xin. You don't know Zong Xin's special internal strength...they can talk when practicing internal strength, and their thoughts are very clear, clearer than usual So Zong Xin spends most of his time teaching Tian Ya to practice, giving him lectures while practicing. Brother, if you have time to listen to Master Zong Xin's lecture, I can guarantee that you will be willing to drive for him for the rest of your life."

"What drive?"

Yeluhong said: "Zongxin's carriage is bigger than ordinary people's. They can sit cross-legged in the carriage to practice. Zongxin will give lectures to Tianya while practicing. I offered to drive Zongxin's carriage. Because I can eavesdrop while driving the carriage. Zong Xin giving lectures... What I want to do most now is to drive Zong Xin for the rest of my life."

Speaking of this, Yeluzhen also became interested, and then asked, "What did Zong Xin say?"

"Whatever he thought of, he talked about things we didn't know, but now I know what happened to Zongxin's salt island. If possible, after this matter is over, I will also go to the coast to make salt .You don’t need to burn it, you just need to let the water evaporate actively to change the salt.”

"Let's talk about this matter in detail. I've always been very curious about this matter. How did Zong Xin do it? You can directly change salt from seawater without boiling it."

"This is a natural phenomenon called evaporation. It's like putting a bowl of water there. After a while, the water in the bowl will become less and less, and finally disappear completely. This process is evaporation." Yeluhong said: " Evaporation is the process of changing water from liquid to gas, and it will happen at any temperature. That is to say, even if it is frozen into ice, the ice will evaporate. The speed of evaporation is changed according to natural conditions. Air The flow of water and the temperature, as well as the surrounding humidity will all affect the rate of evaporation, but the biggest influence is the temperature."

Yelu really had a great understanding. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood that Zong Xin hadn't noticed this kind of thing before, and he summed it up.

Yeluhong continued: "The way I cook it with fire can make water boil, that is, boil. Boiling is actually a violent evaporation phenomenon. Water is liquid, and the process of changing from liquid to gas will increase its volume. So when boiling, a lot of water bubbles will appear. But even without boiling, the seawater will still evaporate, so you only need to introduce some seawater into a pool, and expose it to the high temperature of the sun, and the seawater will evaporate quickly. As long as this The pool is big enough and submerged enough, and the water quickly disappears and all that's left is salt."

"Oh~~ I understand when you put it that way." Yeluzhen said: "Put a bowl of water under the sun and it will gradually decrease in size and finally disappear. This is true for ordinary water, and the same is true for sea water. So there is no need to use it at all. By boiling it, we can also make the water disappear, so we can get the salt."

Yeluhong said: "That's right, it's the simple truth. I couldn't figure it out before, but after Master Zongxin proposed it, I understood it easily. The method of boiling seawater with fire is really stupid and time-consuming. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is necessary to keep cutting down the surrounding trees, which will soon be cut down by the trees. You can only boil a pot of water at a time, which is too wasteful, isn’t it? Using the sun is really a good way, It doesn’t take a lot of people to operate, and it’s profitable, it’s a good business.”

Yeluzhen nodded and said: "It's really good. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid I'll never figure out how Zong Xin turned salt from sea water. It turned out to be such a simple truth. This is what you did for Zong Xin." Overheard in a car?"

"No, I didn't eavesdrop, but heard it openly. Sometimes I will ask questions, and Master Zong Xin will answer my questions. He didn't keep these things secret, but he was very happy to learn from them."

Yeluzhen took a deep breath, feeling a little scary.Because such knowledge is so valuable, those who have it generally do not share it.There are only two possibilities for Zong Xin's behavior. One is that this knowledge is worthless to Zong Xin, and he has more advanced knowledge.

If this is the case, it would be terrible, because these worthless knowledge to Zong Xin can make him rich, and almost the entire Central Plains is staring at his Yandao industry. People have accepted his benefits, even willing to send people to help him garrison Yan Island, is this knowledge really worthless?Absolutely not.

In this way, there is only the second possibility. Zong Xin is a true eminent monk who is willing to share his knowledge with others.As long as others are willing to learn, he is willing to teach.

No matter what the situation is, Yeluzhen once again confirmed that Zong Xin is an extremely terrifying person, a person who can never afford to offend...

Yeluzhen asked curiously, "What did you learn from Master Zongxin?"

"That's a lot, and a lot of things are useful, I'll tell you slowly..." Yeluhong actually wanted to tell his younger brother about the knowledge he stole in a fair manner, but the younger brother is too busy recently and may not have so much time .I can only take this opportunity to tell my younger brother everything I want to say, and Yeluzhen is speechless and stunned.

After listening to Yeluhong's description, Yeluzhen felt an urge to drive Zongxin's car... Because this knowledge is so precious, it's no wonder Zongxin became famous all over the world at a young age.The knowledge he has is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people, and even those so-called scholars may not have heard of the theories and knowledge just now.

The two Yelu brothers kept talking while Zong Xin was eating, and they continued talking after eating. After Zong Xin woke up from a nap, the two brothers were still discussing what Yelu Hong had overheard.Because I am very interested in agriculture, I heard from Yeluhong that sorghum planted in Khitan is better than wheat, and the taste of wheat is naturally better than sorghum. However, ordinary people also like sorghum because of its excellent quality. Gaoliang will definitely make Khitan's economy prosperous again.

This point was also affirmed by Yeluzhen. The spring plowing of winter wheat was proposed by Zong Xin. These four words greatly increased the grain production of Khitan.But the next problem also came up. Although wheat is delicious and the yield is very good, it also has some disadvantages, that is, wheat needs to be taken care of carefully, and a nation cannot only eat one kind of food, and needs some different changes.

Sorghum was a very good choice, and it was said by Master Zongxin, which also made Yeluzhen and Yeluhong feel that this matter was feasible.After all, Khitan's spring wheat has already been harvested, and everyone feels that the wheat grown in Khitan is fragrant and delicious, which also greatly reduces the food burden of Khitan.For a nomadic people, they can slowly transform a large part of them into farmers. Farmers are the safest profession. As long as there are no natural disasters, they can live very contentedly.

Yeluzhen doesn't look down on his own people, but nomadic life is far less stable than farming.To develop society, changes must be made. Although the process of change may be uncomfortable, the final result is to make everyone's life easy and comfortable.

In fact, Yeluhong also mentioned several issues that Yeluzhen hadn't paid attention to before, and Yeluzhen really felt that Zongxin was amazing.This is just what Yeluhong has learned in the short time he has been in contact with Zongxin. Tianya has been Zongxin's apprentice for two years. How much has he learned?As the future heir of Great Zhou, wouldn't it be terrible if Khitan had such an opponent?
Soon, it was dark.Although Yeluzhen wanted to chat for a while, but he was very helpless and had to do what he had to do.

Yeluzhen found Zongxin, who was enjoying his tender home at this time.He was lying on a chair, served by three beautiful girls, one was rubbing his shoulders, the other was hammering his legs, and the other was sitting next to him and feeding him fruits. His life was not like that of a monk at all...
