"Is there really no way to live forever in this world?"

Li Shimin frowned and couldn't help but asked lightly.

Not only Li Shimin, but all other eyes also followed him.

This is immortality...

The most maddening and desirable thing in the world.

Tang Sufan sneered, and simply used his identity as a disciple of the Immortal Sect to give a knowledge lecture, and spoke slowly.

"Of course there is no immortality ~ I think of the time when Emperor Qin drove his ministers to search for medicine and re-appointed Xu Fu, the so-called first 'alchemist', to achieve immortality!"

"They even spent a lot of manpower and material resources to send thousands of virgins to search for the three fairy mountains of Penglai, Fangcun and Yingzhou. They were tossing and tinkering, and in the end they were half disabled by taking drugs. In the end, even if they made a huge loss, Aren’t you going to die helplessly in this world’s empire?”

The story of Emperor Qin's desire for immortality can be found in primary school textbooks.

Although some experts later claimed that Qin Shihuang died of meningitis, drug abuse also accounted for a large part.

Excessive amounts of heavy metals are also the most likely to cause meningitis.

Even today, Li Er seems to have been in Zhenguan for more than 20 years, and he took drugs to death...

"You mean... Emperor Qin died after taking too many elixirs? But I heard that many dignitaries in the world have taken some elixirs. Why do some think they are very useful, even elixirs? Are there many life-saving stories among the people?"

Li Shimin still asked, and he couldn't help being surprised, because there were still some so-called elixirs in his palace.

I'll eat some from time to time...

Maybe he is in his prime, so he may eat more.

Hearing what this kid said, could it be that I have been taking poison?

"What kind of elixir is it? It's just some herbal pills containing excessive amounts of heavy metals."

Tang Sufan explained carefully, and he naturally knew how obsessed some ancient people were with immortality, to the extent that they could completely annihilate human nature.

"People's resistance will be fine if they take two pills or less. Of course, if you take one or two of those pills, you will feel temporarily invigorated because of the ingredients in them——"

"But as for whether it's harmful or not, just find some so-called panacea and feed it to some small livestock. Everyone, if you have these things at home, don't eat them if you can. I won't say that. I lied to you..."

"Furthermore, most of the folk stories are just deliberately fabricated by charlatans with Taoist reputations. There are very few who are truly capable——"

Tang Sufan's predecessor was traveling around the continents with a grassroots doctor, and he had seen countless such stupid things.

At this time, Li Xiaogong also asked: "Um - Su Fan, your master has the ability to fly, but why don't you seek immortality -"

"Forehead--"

Tang Sufan subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose. He used his identity as a disciple of the Immortal Sect to 'pretend and deceive' all day long. This now means that immortality cannot be trusted...

It really doesn't make sense.

But it will certainly not be clear if we use the words of later generations to explain it.

I simply made a mental note and said slowly.

"This... human energy can indeed fly into the sky and dive into the sea with the help of it, and it can also use the power of heaven and earth to move mountains and shake the earth..."

"But nothing in the world can last forever. This matter of eternal life is contrary to the way of heaven. The unity of heaven and man is the limit of spiritual cultivation. How can this eternal life be possible? I can only say that I can extend my life by practicing some methods of health preservation——"

"So this eternal life alone cannot be trusted..."

Just pretend to be a magic stick. As the saying goes, magic can be defeated with magic.

I will continue to pretend to be a disciple of the Immortal Sect in the future, so I can't be too harsh.

As for flying into the sky and escaping from the earth, well, it doesn't matter if you can build a plane.

How about borrowing the power of heaven and earth...

Dongfeng missile brings warmth?

Li Shimin sighed heavily, as if there was a faint regret in his heart, and another heavy stone fell to the ground.

It turns out that no one in this world can live forever...

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore... I didn't learn much in the school, so don't even think about flying. Let's talk about business..."

After saying this, Tang Sufan waved his hand and quickly ended the topic. Tang Sufan would be unable to hold back any more.

The ancients had their own pedantry, but that was only caused by the insufficient scientific and technological truth of the times.

But sometimes it's really a little different and simple.

So it cannot be generalized.

Seeing that Tang Sufan was unwilling to talk further, no one asked any more questions.

Tang Sufan straightened his body, picked up a skewer of hot mutton skewers, and flicked one on.

Thinking of what happened just now, he said it as a matter of course.

"As for what you said about there being no way to allocate food, grass, armaments, etc. in winter, it goes without saying that in this snowy day, of course we have to use sledges and sleds..."

Tang Jian's old face was confused: "Su Fan, what is a sledge?"

Tang Sufan raised his eyes and turned around to stare at Tang Jian with a strange look on his face.

"Brother Tang, you don't even know about sledges and sleds? Have you ever heard of a dog pulling a sledge?"

Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and he knew when he looked at the boy's expression that he looked like he was looking at a fool. This boy definitely did it on purpose.

Isn't it just because your kid has learned so much...

What mode of transportation requires a dog to pull it? How much carrying capacity can a dog use?

Could it be that your kid is joking?

Kong Yingda also quickly paid attention, his old face full of seriousness and seriousness.

"Su Fan, you might as well talk about it, this is a matter of great importance to the imperial court, and it is also related to the life and death of countless people in our dynasty!"

For a time, a lot of big guys echoed.

"This sledge and sled are tools specially used in the snow. They are light and fast. They can be transported much faster than horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts in winter..."

Faster than an ox or a horse?

Li Shimin, the emperor and his ministers' eyes suddenly lit up.

Not to mention being faster than oxen and horses, in this ice and snow, it would be lucky if they could reach the speed of normal marching.

Is there really such a good thing?

Li Shimin took a deep breath and managed to calm down.

"Su Fan, do you know how to make it?"

Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "I know this, but I still have to study it. I can figure it out with a little tinkering..."

He thought that there were already sledges and sleds this year, but they weren't there yet?

A few days ago, he saw the snowflakes starting to fall in Chang'an and wondered whether he should ask Uncle Liu to build a special sled later.

When there is more snow, let’s go out and have a good skiing...

After all, in the Tang Dynasty, there were really few entertainment options.

Skiing is a rare and interesting thing.

In the future, you still have to pay for skiing~

But as everyone knows, sleds are something that only appeared in the 17th century, and sledges are similar.

Tang Sufan just didn't expect that these two good things, the sledge and the sledge, didn't exist yet.

Moreover, the structural principles of sledges and sleds are simple, and they have been used in previous lives. It is not difficult to get them out with a little tinkering.

Hearing Tang Sufan's affirmation, Li Shimin almost dropped his wine glass on the table in excitement!

This guy really knows how to do it!

It is unimaginable to think that there is a way to transport grain faster than cattle and horses in this winter.

Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong were generals who led troops, and at the same time they thought of applying this thing directly to the military.

What a brilliant effect that is! ?

"Su Fan, why don't you present this method to the imperial court? I'm sure the imperial court will never forget your contribution and will never lack your reward. You can even be rewarded with fame and title!"

Li Xiaogong quietly glanced at Li Shimin next to him, and then said seriously.

It must be that for such a good thing, who in the court would dare to say anything about giving it some honors and titles?

If this can be applied to the military of the Tang Dynasty, it will be considered a proper military achievement!
