Chapter 127: Dragon Slaying Technique and Dragon Supporting Technique!
The so-called Dragon Slaying Technique and Dragon Supporting Technique have the same source.
They are all about studying and analyzing the operating rules of the dynasty.
But the emphasis is different, one focuses on "slaughter" and the other focuses on "support".
To put it bluntly, one is to bring down the emperor, and the other is to help others sit on the throne.
Yao Guangxiao took Xi Yingzhen as his teacher and learned the art of yin and yang. His main focus was the art of slaying dragons.
Another junior fellow student, Song Hongyuan, learned the art of supporting dragons.
After the two of them completed their studies, they found that there was no need for such knowledge in today's world.
Junior brother Song Hongyuan died early in depression, while Yao Guangxiao has been secretly waiting for the opportunity.
He once heard his master, Xi Yingzhen, speak.
If you slay the dragon but don't support it, the world will be in trouble and chaos!
If you don't slay the dragon but only support it, it will easily lead to disaster and burn yourself.
Only when the two are united can great things be accomplished!
But now, there are actually people who know this dragon-supporting technique. Then their dragon-slaying technique can be unleashed unscrupulously!
Moreover, the last time I touched the bones, I had already figured out the secret.
If you want to conquer the world, you must have Li Xiao!
This Li Xiao is not only the lucky star of King Yan, but also the lucky star of Lao Na himself!
However, His Highness Prince Yan has no objections at the moment and must not let him know too much.
It’s not that I didn’t say it, it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet!
"Your Highness, what this letter says is absolutely true. The fall and rise of dynasties come from changes in the land. Today's Great Ming Dynasty has this hidden danger."
Yao Guangxiao returned the letter to Zhu Di, clasped his hands and said: "Your Highness Amitabha, Li Xiao's theory of the fall of the dynasty is to the point, pointed to the root cause, and analyzed thoroughly. The poor monk is sincerely convinced."
Zhu Di was slightly surprised that even the master admired him.
He frowned again and asked, "Master Dao Yan also thinks this is correct?"
He always felt that Li Xiao was a little bold, even talking about the rise and fall of the dynasty in private, and criticizing the current policies.
"Incorrect or not, the answer is found in the history books. Your Highness can read it yourself."
Yao Guangxiao clicked a piece on the chessboard and said slowly: "Actually, many facts are in the book, but people in the world don't want to believe it, because the answers are always cruel."
This move brought Yao Guangxiao's entire chessboard to life and blocked Zhu Di's retreat.
"I lost again."
Zhu Di frowned and said: "Master's chess skills are superb. Let's play another game."
Yao Guangxiao shook his head: "His Highness is upset. If we try again, the result will be the same."
"Why."
Zhu Di sighed and said: "According to the history and rules, our Ming Dynasty may only last three hundred years."
He looked at Yao Guangxiao expectantly: "Master, can this land annexation problem be solved?"
"No solution."
Yao Guangxiao shook his head, he knew that every dynasty has a lifespan.
The sun and moon change, there are rises and falls, there is no dynasty that will always stand firm.
Zhu Di looked bitter.
"Huh"
Yao Guangxiao suddenly let out a sigh and said: "Everything is subject to change. In the letter just now, Li Xiao also mentioned that there is no solution. This is the same as what the poor monk thought, but he seemed to say that there is a turning point."
Hearing this, Zhu Di quickly unfolded the letter and placed it on the chessboard.
The two of them looked at each other again.
Zhu Di recited in a low voice: "The problem of land annexation can be completely solved by breaking away from agricultural society and entering industrial society."
"Master, what do you mean by this? I can't understand it."
"this"
Yao Guangxiao was lost in thought for a long time before he spoke: "Li Xiao has designated the current country as an agricultural society. If we want to solve the problem of dynasty replacement, we must solve the land problem, and we must break away from the agricultural society and enter the industrial society. What is this industrial society?"
Yao Guangxiao heard such words and principles for the first time.
It didn't surprise or displease him, but even he couldn't figure out the meaning.
industrial societyindustrial society
suddenly.
He kept thinking about what Li Xiao had been doing these days.
Open a salt farm to make salt
Using new methods to make salt can supply countless people.
There are also many workers who work for him and receive generous wages, enough to support their families.
They are not tenants, they are just laborers who receive what they earn according to their work.
If such salt fields did not just refer to salt fields, but things like salt fields were spread all over the Ming Dynasty, then many farmers would no longer rely on land.
The premise is that there are countless "salt making methods" similar to this! !
Think about what else Li Xiao does besides making salt.
Sugar, fireworks, fire folds
That’s it, that’s it!
Different from the dragon-supporting technique learned by my junior brother, this is another dragon-supporting technique!
This Li Xiao is truly a heavenly being!
His dragon-supporting skills have surpassed ancient and modern times!
His Dragon Supporting Technique can subjugate an eternal dragon! ! !
Yao Guangxiao's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly!
But soon,
He felt something was wrong again!
There is a problem with the idea I just had.
Countless new "manufacturing methods" and manufactured products need to be affordable for everyone!
There is a premise.
We need all the people to become rich
That is, the land must produce enough food! !
A lot will do! !
Can feed everyone! !
Only when you are full and warm can you think of lust, and only when your stomach is full can you think of other things.
You don't have to worry about eating it before you can have the kind of prosperous life you want.
Otherwise, products produced by countless "salt-making methods" will not sell well at all, and not so many people will consume them.
No, no, no,
Unless Li Xiao can come up with a "new technology" to increase the land's food production.
After thinking about this, Yao Guangxiao's expression changed and he slowly sat down again.
"Master, do you understand the meaning?"
Seeing that the master was losing his temper, Zhu Di asked hurriedly.
"it's okay no problem."
Yao Guangxiao smiled awkwardly, "I have indeed figured out something just now, but now one thing is blocked. I will inform King Yan after the poor monk has fully understood it."
After finishing speaking, Yao Guangxiao reminded: "Your Highness, if Li Xiao has any new letters or new inventions, can you watch them with Your Highness? I want to see how Li Xiao explains this industrial society."
"Of course you can." Zhu Di nodded slightly.
He has known Master Daoyan for more than ten years and has experienced great storms together. He is a very trustworthy person.
"but."
Zhu Di frowned and asked: "Master, I have been refusing to answer a question, and I still want to ask the master for advice."
Yao Guangxiao took his time and put his hands together: "Your Highness, please speak."
Zhu Di looked slightly puzzled and said: "Since Li Xiao entered our Prince Yan's Mansion, as the master said, good luck is at hand and good things will continue."
"But based on my interactions with this king during this period, I am even more surprised."
"This Li Xiao is obviously a farmer, but he knows astronomy and geography, has poetry at his fingertips, and can develop countless unprecedented things."
"It's just one thing. He can continue to develop objects in different fields. This makes me very puzzled. How can one person have so much knowledge and wisdom!"
The mystery of Li Xiao has always been shrouded in Zhu Di's heart, and he still can't figure it out. He only revealed it to Yao Guangxiao today.
Yao Guangxiao laughed and said: "If the poor monk guessed correctly, Li Xiao is most likely a person with 'Suhui'."
"Su Hui?" Zhu Di asked, "What is Su Hui?"
Yao Guangxiao explained: "There is only one person in millions who possesses Suhu wisdom. Such a person can suddenly awaken the memories of previous lives, or even the memories of several lives, at a certain age. With these memories, he can learn by himself without a teacher." , In addition, people with Su Hui are naturally smart, so it is normal for them to use their previous skills to improve their skills to a higher level."
hiss.
Zhu Di took a breath, it turns out there are still such people in the world.
This is the first time he has heard of it!
Such an explanation makes sense for Li Xiao's versatile abilities.
"I see."
Zhu Di nodded slightly: "In this way, I will understand that these memories of Li Xiao should be memories of previous lives. Li Xiao in previous lives should be a poet and a skilled craftsman. Hahaha, I thought before, This Li Xiao is a disciple of the gods in heaven."
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and didn't say much.
Zhu Di was in a good mood and fought another round with Yao Guangxiao.
This time, Zhu Di won and was in a better mood.
Seeing that Zhu Di was in a good mood, Yao Guangxiao saw the opportunity and suddenly said: "Your Highness, the poor monk watched the stars last night. The Big Dipper flashed and the sky was purple. Something big may happen in the past few days. Your Highness, please deal with the court officials more and we are ready."
Zhu Di asked doubtfully: "Master, today the world is stable and everything is safe and sound. What's the big deal?"
Yao Guangxiao shook his head: "This is a secret, and it is impossible to find out in detail."
Zhu Di nodded: "Master, please give me some advice."
After taking Zhu Di back, I recalled the conversation I had just had with Dao Yan, and thought that the master knew things like a god, so I picked up my pen and wrote a letter to the officials who had good relations with the DPRK and China to communicate with each other.
A few more days passed.
The highly skilled blacksmiths in the palace actually renovated the carriage site in the palace according to the design drawings.
Even something like spring steel, under the research of more than a dozen highly skilled blacksmiths, can be made into a steel material that is very elastic.
Although it is not as good as the spring steel made by Li Xiao's current technology, the elasticity is pretty good.
If Li Xiao knew about this, he would definitely be shocked. Wow, it turns out that the level of steel in the Ming Dynasty was already so high.
After Zhu Di tried it, he clapped his hands and laughed and said: "As expected of my king's son-in-law, and worthy of someone with Su Hui, this carriage can be used on the battlefield after some modifications!"
In fact, a large part of ancient wars were logistical battles.
The military chariots have not moved yet, but the food and grass go first!
Many conspiracies and intrigues revolve around the grain road.
Cutting off the enemy's food routes is the most insidious strategy. Many armies were defeated not on the battlefield, but by hunger.
Zhu Di thought that if this technology was used on grain transport vehicles, it should be able to speed up the march!
Time flies and seven days have passed.
At this time, a group of people were on a country road.
The group of people walked and stopped and were about to arrive in Cangzhou. Once they arrived in Cangzhou, the journey would not be so bumpy. It would be much easier if they took the waterway.
"Look, Xiaolang, the scenery here is so beautiful!"
As he got further and further away from home, Zhu Ningyun's mood seemed to open up. Looking at the scenery in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh. Li Xiao was right. When he stepped out, the sky would be wider.
Along the way, several girls also got off the carriage and walked, enjoying the scenery along the way.
After getting along with each other along the way, everyone got along well and the relationship became closer and closer.
"It is indeed beautiful."
Li Xiao held Zhu Ningyun's hand and took a leisurely walk.
On this road, there are steep cliffs next to it, with a wide view. Looking around, you can also see the villages at the foot of the mountain, with misty clouds and creeping fairy spirit.
"Help! Help."
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front, and people kept shouting for help.
"You guys, get on the carriage quickly."
Hearing the noise, Li Xiao immediately called several girls to get on the carriage.
"Xu Fei, Zhang Qiong and the others are coming with me to the front to have a look."
Zhu Gaoxu also heard the sound and got on his horse to investigate.
Li Xiao also hurriedly took the carriage and walked forward together.
After passing the corner of the road, I found a caravan with more than a dozen corpses underground.
There were only seven or eight people left in the caravan, holding knives and confronting a group of bandits. The bandits were outnumbered and numbered about twenty.
The one-eyed man at the head laughed loudly and said: "If you don't just surrender, if you encounter our Black Wind Village, you are unlucky. If you resist, we will kill them all!"
It turned out to be a group of bandits, blocking the road and robbing.
Although it was the Hongwu period and bandits had been greatly reduced, there were still many refugees who had lost their stoves and fell into bandits.
"We have already handed over the money to buy the road, why are you still killing people? Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the authorities!"
The leader of the caravan shouted loudly, using the government to suppress people, hoping that the other party would be more sensible.
"The government? Haha, as long as I kill you all and deal with it, who knows?"
The leader of the one-eyed dragon laughed.
After the words fell, the other bandits also laughed and said: "Yes, I will kill you all and the government won't know."
The one-eyed dragon was too lazy to talk nonsense, waved his hand and said: "Brothers, kill all the men, and keep the women!"
Hearing this, the young woman in yellow's eyes dimmed and she collapsed on the ground, knowing that if she fell into the hands of these bandits, her life would be worse than death.
"Brothers, kill me!"
"Stop it, me!"
A roar sounded, naturally it was Zhu Gaoxu's voice.
Zhu Gaoxu came over on horseback. As soon as he saw the situation here, he knew what had happened.
He was horrified that in this majestic Ming Dynasty, there were bandits who robbed along the road!
What do these local officials do for food? Zhu Gaoxu was furious!
When the people in the caravan heard the sound, they thought it was reinforcements coming, and they were overjoyed. They followed the sound, but only found three people, and they couldn't help but be disappointed again.
"Oh, you draw your sword to help when you see an injustice?"
The leader of the one-eyed dragon man turned around and saw that it was a young man. He couldn't help but sneered: "There are some people who are not afraid of death. It seems that my nine dragons will kill a few more souls today!"
"You bitch, are you worthy of being called Jiu Tiao Long? I think you are Jiu Tiao Chong!"
Without further ado, Zhu Gaoxu took out a bow and arrow from his horse, nocked an arrow and drew the bow, and shot an arrow directly through the one-eyed dragon's head.
With a plop, the one-eyed dragon fell to the ground.
He twitched a few times and lost all breath.
The arrogant bandit leader just now turned into a cold corpse in the blink of an eye.
"Second Master! Second Master!!"
"That man killed our second boss!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The bandits around them were furious when they saw that the second master was shot to death by a young man in the blink of an eye.
"Brothers, take revenge on the second boss!"
These bandits rode horses, drew their swords, and roared towards them.
call out!
call out!
call out!
The two cavalrymen who came with Zhu Gaoxu picked up their bows and started shooting.
These little thieves are not enough for Zhu Gaoxu.
At this time, Li Xiao, who came from behind, and the remaining eight guards also arrived.
Come towards this side on horseback, just take the arrow and shoot.
There were only about twenty bandits, and those at the front were all shot to death in an instant. Those behind realized something was wrong and wanted to turn around and run away, but unfortunately, they couldn't even run away in time.
In just a quarter of an hour, all these bandits were shot dead by Li Xiao and his party.
"what's the situation?"
Li Xiao rode up to Zhu Gaoxu's side and said, "What do these people do?"
"A bunch of bandits came out of nowhere."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled cheerfully: "They are just a bunch of thieves. The mob is vulnerable."
"bandit?"
Li Xiao was surprised. He didn't expect that there were bandits during the Hongwu period.
At this time, several people on the carriage also came down and took a look at the situation.
When she saw the corpses on the ground, Wei Jiangxue screamed in fright and closed her eyes.
Li Xiao winked, and Zhu Gaoxu understood what he meant. He quickly hugged Wei Jiangxue into his arms and comforted her intimately: "Jiang Xue, don't be afraid. I'm here. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you!"
"Well, as long as you're here, I'm not afraid."
Wei Jiangxue's eyelashes trembled slightly and she nodded slightly.
Zhu Ningyun frowned slightly. Why did these words sound so familiar?
She couldn't help but think too much. At this time, the remaining members of the caravan came over and knelt down to thank them.
"Thank you knights for taking action."
"What a great favor, a great favor for saving my life, I will never forget it."
"My benefactor, please accept my respects!"
As they talked, they kowtowed a few more times.
Li Xiao took a look and saw that there was an old man inside. If he kowtowed to me, wouldn't he lose his life?
He quickly helped a few people up, "Guys, get up quickly, it's just a small matter."
The caravan leader stood up and looked like a businessman.
"I haven't asked my benefactor's name yet."
Li Xiao said: "Li Xiaoyao."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Overlord Halberd!"
Zhu Gaosui said: "The rain transforms the fields!"
"Li Xiaoyao, Bawangji, and Yuhuatian are three benefactors. Please accept your life-saving grace."
The business leader took out the banknote from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about this little money, so he waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. Just kowtow and thank you is enough."
In ancient times, a life-saving favor was a great favor. The leader of the caravan thought that the other party was too little, so he pulled the girl in yellow and said, "If you don't mind me, I have a little girl who will marry you."
The girl in yellow originally planned to take her own life, but she could not fall into the hands of bandits. Unexpectedly, a chivalrous person came to her rescue.
"The little girl is willing to pledge herself to me."
The girl in yellow clothes is as beautiful as a bamboo basket or a flower. She bends her body and bows.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up, and Wei Jiangxue suddenly became unhappy and looked up at the girl in yellow.
"Hey cousin?"
She looked at the caravan leader again.
"Third uncle?"
