Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 138 Can You Be Smarter Than Aristotle?

Guo Kang had already come early, but when he got here, he found that Lama Wang and his attendant Wu Han were already waiting for him at the door.Not only that, he also brought Tuo Huan over, saying that he wanted to conduct an evaluation.

A few people said hello, and Da Lama Wang shook the whisk to tell Wu Han to make a record for the day, and then he took the lead and walked in.

"Why is Master Wang so active today?" Guo Kang joked.

"A group of new monks are coming here to visit." Da Lama Wang said, "In addition to seeing the progress with you today, I have to meet them and see if I can let them join in."

"In addition, I also invited Tuhuan Taiji to see if these things of yours can be used in other places."

"My side is full of neat things, and it's good to use in worship ceremonies." Guo Kang vaccinated him in advance: "I don't think there are any that can be used as weapons. Don't expect too much."

"It's not bad for you to be able to work." Tuo Huan pointed out: "It doesn't mean that you have to wait until you draw your sword before you can count as a war. War is a very long-term process."

"Even if you make a whole tool that can make soldiers happy and relieve stress, it will help the war." He said, and remembered the previous things: "By the way, the one you said before can keep the quality Is there any hope of producing the military rations?"

"What is that?" Lama Wang asked curiously.

"He told me that there is a way to keep the military rations longer." Tuo Huan told him: "In the world around us, there are many small bugs floating everywhere. We usually don't see them, and we can't see them." You can’t feel them, but when people are weak, some of them will sneak in and make people sick; food left outside will also be eroded and corrupted by these bugs.”

"You see, some food will go bad after being left for a long time. In fact, the bugs eat part of it and then excrete it. These excrements are often poisonous and have an unpleasant smell. Sometimes, things will grow hairs, which is also the reason. What the bugs spit out is probably the same as a spider."

"Wait, what is this all about?" Lama Wang was quite surprised: "Are you sure there is such a bug?"

"Chongxu Daoist Lie Yukou, once said in the book that there is a kind of insect called scorcher." Tuo Huan rarely met when he was more knowledgeable than others, so he hurriedly educated him: "Liezi said, this insect is extremely Small, a group of insects can land on the eyelashes of mosquitoes together, and there is still space between each other. Mosquitoes can't feel it when they fly around and fly away."

"There are so many types of this kind of bugs, and their behaviors and products are also different. Scorch borer is just one of them. But this knowledge is very unpopular, and I only know it after listening to Guo Kang'an's answer. You haven't heard of it. , is also normal."

"Don't you think it's weird." Wang Da Lama questioned: "This bug flies around and shits everywhere, but we can only find it when it shits on the food? It stands to reason that it is everywhere, and we have to talk about it." It's in the nose and in the nose. Isn't that disgusting, and I can't help it shitting in my mouth."

"People pull it while eating. Usually there is nothing in their mouth to give it to it. Where can it get it for you? Think about it, if there is food residue in your mouth and you don't wash it off, will it change the taste after a while?" Tuo Huan asked back.

"Besides, this worm is the same as the big worms we usually see. Most of them can't pull out any smelly things-look at that bee, they can still pull out honey. If you want to eat what others pull out, you have to eat it." Pay for it."

"That said, it seems reasonable." Hearing this, Da Lama Wang hesitated.

"Liezi's book, haven't you read it?" Tuo Huan pointed at his whisk: "Didn't it mean that it is also from Taoism? Call, call..."

""Chongxu Zhenjing"." Guo Kang helped him explain.

"Yes, that's it." Tuo Huan nodded quickly.

"I've read the book, but I really didn't think about it before." Lama Wang pondered: "It's mainly about this part, and I didn't talk too much about it. I don't know the true meaning of the real person. And this statement is too weird..."

"Strange fart, this is what Liezi himself said." Tuo Huan reprimanded: "Are you as smart as your ancestors?"

"Uh..." Seeing that Tuo Huan was pressing him with a Taoist real person, Lama Wang became embarrassed and poked his chin with a whisk, but finally said nothing.

"So, what's the use of your research?" Wu Han asked curiously from the side.

"I've read the history of war before." Tu Huan said: "When Belisarius attacked the Vandals, before the army went out, the bread prepared as military rations was not dried, so it deteriorated. The soldiers ate these spoiled Bread, all had vomiting and diarrhea, and more than 500 people died of poisoning in the end."

"During the entire Vandal War, the number of Roman soldiers who died on the battlefield did not exceed 500." He added: "You see, so I say that the battlefield is only a part of the war. If we understand the habits of insects and master the extermination The skills of the insects can be of great help to the army."

"It turned out to be like this." Da Lama Wang also figured it out, and said to Guo Kang: "Well, what else do you need to try, just tell me. Where the church can help, it will definitely help."

"Hey, don't care about bugs or not, as long as you can make good military rations, even if bugs are really in my mouth, I will admit it!" Wang Da Lama looked resolute, and it seemed that he was going all out for war supplies.

After making up his mind, he called Guo Kang and continued on his way.

Inside the gate, several Greek priests had arrived and were waiting for them.Then Lama Wang went up and greeted them one by one.

"Dean John, you are already very familiar, so there is no need to introduce." He smiled at a bearded man, then pointed to the thin middle-aged man next to him, and said to Guo Kang: "This is Dmitri Monk. He brought the brothers of the congregation here to visit today."

"You are Mr. Guo Kang, hello!" Dmitri shook hands with him impatiently: "I heard that you are a knowledgeable philosopher who has been educated by the scholars of Seris. We admire you very much. work, so I came here specially to see your results."

"I heard that you are engaged in the research of lightning and light, and also saw the display utensils you gave us, and I was deeply shocked by this." He was obviously enthusiastic, but he still hesitated in his words: "Just, you also know , Many people believe that thunder and lightning are the power of God. Is there really no problem if we do this?"

"Don't worry, this is all experimented by the sage Aristotle." Guo Kang nodded, and told him according to the words he had programmed a long time ago: "My research is also based on his achievements in the past. Last time The 'captured lightning' for you was also made very simply according to his theory."

"Okay, it's normal to find this kind of thing astonishing. However, don't bother with inappropriate questions." Wang Dalai is learning and selling, and chimed in: "The ancient philosophers have studied it a long time ago. Now, can you be as smart as Aristotle?"

"what……"
