When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

In this era, most of the tribal nobles still pursue the same old spiritual goals.

Psychedelics, alcoholism, witchcraft.

The religious development in Middle-earth has not yet gotten rid of the scope of witchcraft, so when faced with the paintings and poems of Yan State that tend to be realistic, one does have a different feeling.

This is also the direction that Sinqu finally chose after much deliberation: to demystify witchcraft and strengthen people's ability to control nature.

The next day, a market was set up outside the embassy.

Many people from nearby come here to buy and sell.

In Yan State, the business atmosphere is still very strong.

After all, as the population grew, there were still many clans within the territory of Yan State that were not good at farming or grazing, but were good at nomadic life. In order to control the risks of these guys, those who were good at nomadic life were screened in advance by the Dianke Mansion and their skills were modified.

The nomadic life was changed to traveling business. Since both activities involved traveling by boat and carriage, the profits from traveling business were much greater than those from herding and farming.

And the most interesting thing in the market is not the local specialties or deerskin.

But it is a handicraft from the State of Yan.

"Funerary terracotta figurines!"

“Jade carving!”

"Portrait of a god?"

"Totem embroidery customization!"

After following for a while, I saw the flags and signboards on a circular table in the middle of the market.

There are seven or eight products of various sizes on it.

So everything on the circular table is dazzling.

Dazzled.

"Tsk tsk, so many good things, just a little expensive."

The people around Zisong looked on, and were amazed.

He was watching too.

But what surprised him most was that on a newly built platform, there was a sign that read: "Ice made on site."

"What does this mean?" Zisong asked Long Wei.

"Literally." Long Wei said with a smile, "There is an official position called Bingzheng in Beibo Palace, who is responsible for storing ice in the winter.

However, this year Bei Bo thought of a way to create ice out of thin air.

It's called nitro ice, and it's highly poisonous.

But if you use a porcelain grid, you can use nitrate ice to convert clean water into ice.

So Bingzheng will be selling ice cream near the capital recently, adding honey, hawthorn, candied fruit, etc. to make a bowl of smoothie. Now that the autumn heat is strong, eating a bowl is just the right comfort. "

Hearing this, many people were eager to try it out.

The temperature during this era was generally high, and the climate south of the Yellow River was considered tropical. Elephants could be seen everywhere, and it was quite hot to live nearby.

So, when they heard there was ice, they all wanted to go over and try it.

After a while, they saw the scene of ice making on site. First, a large vat was poured with river water, and then a special person sprinkled Glauber's salt on it.

As soon as the Glauber's salt was put into water for a while, mist began to rise.

At this time, a smaller water tank is put on, and the guy who is boiling water nearby pours the boiling water into the small tank.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was a cry of surprise: "It's frozen! The hot water is frozen!"

"A miracle!"

Some people prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed, as if they were the gods of ice and snow, bestowing grace upon them.

But some Yan people just sneered at their ignorance and said: "This is not the grace of ghosts and gods, this is called physics, which is part of Beibo's knowledge."

"That's right, you ignorant ghost servants, do you know? Bei Bo once said: After we return the ghosts and gods to heaven, the natural laws of heaven and earth that the ghosts and gods control can be used by us humans.

We just need to sort them out, as theorems, and spread the research to benefit our production and life.

Therefore, as long as we kill ghosts and gods, we can obtain their abilities and let humans conquer nature."

Many young people in Yan State showed enthusiasm and yearning. Zisong looked at these scenes and looked at Long Wei with a serious face: "So, do you really think you can defeat ghosts and gods?"

Hearing this, Long Wei raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This is Bei Bo's opinion, and of course, it is also the opinion of us young people. Because we have personally experienced the transformation of the entire Yanshan Mountains. When Bei Bo taught us arithmetic, Bei Bo said that everything in this world can deceive people, ghosts and gods can also deceive people, but only arithmetic will not deceive people.

If you know it, you know it. If you don’t know it, you don’t know it. Arithmetic is an important tool to compete with ghosts and gods for the laws, just like the seal script and clerical script sorted out by Bei Bo.

There is only one purpose, which is to reduce the control of ghosts and gods over the laws, so that humans can do what ghosts and gods can do.

Facing the countless living beings in the world, Bei Bo is the only one who is truly exploring the boundaries between ghosts and gods and humans.

At least, in his eyes, the laws of nature are constant, and ghosts and gods are just fragments of the laws that have escaped.

The purpose of getting rid of ghosts and gods is to enable us to live a better life, and also to enable us to master the laws of ghosts and gods and benefit the people.

Therefore, it is okay to respect ghosts and gods and keep a distance from them, or it is also okay to serve ghosts and gods and use them.

Since ghosts and gods are part of the natural world, and humans are also part of the natural world, why can't humans become ghosts and gods? Why do they choose to serve ghosts and gods?
There is no such thing as being born divine; there is only how far a person can go on this path.

Whether they are witches or sorcerers, they are all people who have gone further than ordinary people, that's all."

"..."

Zisong felt that his three views had suffered a severe blow.

The guy in front of him swore that there was no mistake or omission, and the method in front of him was beyond his blind spot of knowledge and could not be refuted.

"Bei Bo said: Everything between heaven and earth is made up of elements. Pure elements are called atoms. But atoms appear small and fragile for various reasons.

But when multiple elements are combined into one, they can form molecules, and the molecules will become stable.

For example, water is made up of hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms. Hydrogen and oxygen are the elements that make up the world.

Although I don’t understand why Bei Bo is so sure that the world is made up of elements, the probability of Bei Bo being wrong has always been low, so I believe in Bei Bo’s opinion.

Compared to those ignorant businessmen who are still praying for the protection of ghosts and gods, I can only say that you are obsessed.

When you pray to ghosts and gods, we are becoming ghosts and gods.

You can become ghosts and gods only after you die, but we can use the power of ghosts and gods while we are alive.

So, if I were you, I would take advantage of my free time now to study hard and take a good look at the skills and strength of Yan State. Even if I learn a little bit, I can change a lot after I return."

Long Wei's true intention was revealed; the map of Yan State was still too short.

Upon hearing this, Zisong looked at him deeply and said, "It seems that Bei Bo wants to use you and these strange things to influence me?"

"These laws are what we mastered after we put the ghosts and gods back to their positions." Long Wei did not answer directly, but pointed at the person making the ice, "Here we use the physical property of the dissolution and heat absorption of Glauber's salt. It belongs to the surface layer.

Bei Bo also mastered the variability of Glauber's salt, also known as its chemical properties, and was able to turn Glauber's salt into various other substances for use.

Laws are a general term for physical and chemical properties. To calculate laws, one needs to use arithmetic.

We can turn hot water into ice, and we can also turn ice into hot water.

When our two sides go to war, you are on the ice one moment, and the ice melts the next, and you can only fall into the winter icy water.

So, how many of you are going to die?

Moreover, how many people would be affected if they caught a cold in winter?"

Zisong took a deep breath and said, "It seems that Beibo asked you to come here in order to intimidate me?"

"Wrong, Bei Bo hopes that you can learn. The Shang clan is no longer the only powerful force in the world. If you don't lower your proud head to learn the laws of the strong, only extinction will await you.

We call people who conduct legal research researchers.

We've already started, and you guys? Still playing bronze?"

Long Wei touched his waist, pulled out an iron dagger, and showed it to Zisong: "And we have already researched iron."

After saying that, Long Wei took out a stack of copper coins and placed them on the table in front of Zisong, then held the dagger with the sheath and pressed it hard.

There was a clanging sound, and the copper coin was cut open.

"Cutting copper is like cutting mud." Long Wei said, sticking the dagger on the table, "Only by becoming a researcher can you master the corners of the laws of ghosts and gods."

Zisong's eyes were fixed on the table, and the merchants following him were also looking at him in horror.

Bronze, cut open!
