Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 536
The small hand crossbow that Yuan Yao used to equip was not very convenient to carry on the body, and the shooting distance was short, so it was only used unexpectedly at a certain time, so it was not used often, and it was very troublesome to manufacture, and the cost was expensive. A large amount of equipment consumes an astonishing amount of money, so Yuan Yao did not promote the equipment.

Now this kind of collapsible crossbow is easier to pull, more lethal, and has a longer range. The range of flat shooting is not weaker than that of ordinary short bows.

After Sima Hui designed the corresponding machine tool, it was more convenient to produce. In addition to paying the corresponding labor costs, there was no need to spend money on materials.

The first batch of Yuan Yao has produced [-] sets.

Four thousand tiger guards are all equipped!Three thousand cavalry archers are all equipped!The three thousand bear guards are also fully equipped!
Among them, because Xiong Wei mainly relied on heavy armor, Yuan Yao did not intend to take Xiong Wei away, but let Xiong Wei continue to stay and guard the capital!

The second newly developed technology is the automatic propulsion gear in water.

After this kind of gear is assembled on the ship, the oars that originally required two people to shake can be canceled and changed to the propeller that can be turned by one person. A ten-foot-long boat only needs ten people, which is much faster than before. The ten sailors worked hard and went faster.

This kind of improvement is mainly to fight against the wind and waves in the sea. Once a storm is encountered, the sail can be pulled down immediately, and the sail can be sailed quickly with only manpower, while the original big oars, once In the event of a storm, it is basically useless, and we can only let the ship roll with the waves on the sea and resign ourselves to fate.

In the next step, what Yuan Yao wants is to use steam power to completely replace human power. He has already told Sima Hui the basic principle, and he believes that it will not take too long to create a steam engine.

Jiaozhou
In Jiaozhi County, Mouzi has kept a low profile since the death of Ruo Rong, the leader of Buddhism. He only hides at home every day to chant scriptures and pray for the blessing of Buddha.

But an incident that has become more and more popular recently made Mouzi unable to sit still.

Since Buddhism was hit and Brahmanism was killed and fled to the mountains, a brand new religion suddenly emerged.

All beings teach! !

At the beginning, Mouzi didn't care. In Mouzi's view, there is no religion in the world that can compare with Buddhism, even Taoism and Confucianism. If they go on, they will break up on their own, or in order to survive, they will go to the type of cult that can only survive by doing evil.

Buddhism encourages people to be kind, and there will be a large number of believers who will donate money and food in exchange for merit. Not any sect can be compared with Buddhism.

However, after three months, as the outside world became more and more crazy, Mou Zi felt that the development of Buddhism was threatened. He had to go and see it with his own eyes, and expose the tricks behind the Sect of All Beings in person!
In order to prove his authority, Mou Zi still dressed as a Buddhist and took to the streets.

"Brother, do you want your money to never be lost?"

A middle-aged man dressed in black cloth approached with light in his eyes and asked with a smile.

Mouzi noticed a yellow star pattern embroidered on the left chest of his robe, with a small circle in the center of the star.

"Sentient beings religion?" Mou Zi pursed his lips, and there was no disdain in his eyes!I thought to myself: "Isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't want money to never be lost? I finally got a little bit of incense money. I worry every day whether the government will send soldiers to confiscate it, and worry whether there will be thieves stealing it. Never. Loss? Of course I thought about it, but do you think you are God? Or are you just trying to cheat me of money?"

For the past three months, Mou Zi has been worried that the government will use Buddhists to rebel and completely ban Buddhism, but this has not happened. , and no guilt was asked.

"So what if you want to? So what if you don't want to?" Mou Zi just wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly he stopped on a whim.

"Sir, if you join the Church of All Beings and become a member of the Church of All Beings, you can store money in the church. The money can be withdrawn at any time. If you get your own money, you can also get extra rewards!" The disciples of all beings said with a smile.

"Cut! I have money to lend to others, and I can get interest. Why do I need to save it in the All Living Beings Church?" Mou Zi retorted.

"Sir, as the saying goes, it is easy to borrow money and difficult to repay. You lend to others and charge interest. Is it so easy to get back the money? But after depositing the money in the church, the money is absolutely guaranteed. Moreover, when you go to other places , you can also withdraw money from other places, isn’t it very convenient?” All living beings taught the crowd.

"Anyway, I don't believe it, the money is safest in my own hands!" Mou Zi said.

"Okay, sir, this is your freedom. The Church of All Beings does not require members to save money. If you join the Church of All Beings, when you are seriously ill, the church will treat you for free and provide medicinal materials for free. When you have When you are in trouble, the brothers in the church will come from all directions to help you tide over the difficulties! All living beings teach each other to help each other!" All living beings teach all people.

"Is there such a good thing? I'm a little moved by what I said, but I'm sorry, I am already a Buddhist believer, and it is impossible to give up Buddhism and join the Sect of All Beings!" Mou Zi wanted to leave.

"Sir, the Sect of All Beings does not exclude paganism. You can keep your Buddhist beliefs, as long as you approve of Sentence Sect and admit that Sentence Sect is the head of all religions, but there is one thing to explain. Interest and some other benefits!" All beings taught everyone.

"But there is still one thing. Buddhism has faith. There is an immortal Buddha, which can give the congregation spiritual sustenance. If the Sentient Sect does not have this, I don't believe that the Sentient Sect can last for a long time! If it can't go on for a long time, the existence of the Church Didn’t the money disappear?” Mou Zi asked.

"Sir, you are wrong again. The Sect of All Beings not only has a god, but also the supreme creator god in the world. The creator god was born in the chaos. Because he saw the suffering in the world and the world couldn't understand it, he ordered his apostles to come down to earth and be born. In the human world, establish the teaching of sentient beings and save sentient beings!" The teaching of sentient beings teaches the way of all beings.

"Uh! Well, I only have one thousand coins with me. I will temporarily join the Sect of All Beings. If the thousand coins can't give me more money, or I can't take it out again, I will definitely expose you. What a trick!" Mou Zi said.

"Thank you, please come with me!" The sentient beings taught the crowd.

……

Pingyu City

Yuan Yao was preparing for the Eastern Expedition, but Yang Wu, the personal commander, attracted someone.

"It's you? Xu Xian? Why are you not in Jiaozhou, but you came back? Did Weizhou Mu send you back?" Yuan Yao asked in surprise.

"Meet the lord!!" Zhang Shi respectfully fell to the ground, kowtowed three times, and then got up.

Xu Xian was one of the first ten elders who followed Yuan Yao. He was a native of Pingyu City. However, due to his limited personal ability, even under Yuan Yao's care, he has only become a captain. Wei Yan led the army.

"Master!! This subordinate has a secret report!" Xu Xian clasped his fists and said.

"Okay, follow me to the secret room!" Yuan Yao said.
