Dao Fruit

Qiu Yan's words had already shocked the other ministers, especially the sentence "using humans to invade the stars", which made the people present change color, including Ma Yang and Wang Fu.

You know, the stars have represented the meaning of transcendence and mystery since ancient times. Many saints have speculated and explored, but until now, the concept that the stars are the residence of gods has been continuously strengthened, representing a different field from human nature.

Even if they observe, it is for recording and looking for omens, not for wanting to get involved and put it into their own system.

Qiu Yan saw the expressions of several people and naturally knew why they were shocked. He said, "It is said that the stars are in the gods, and they are in different fields from the human world. Ordinary mortals cannot rely on their own strength to explore the reality of the stars, let alone get inspiration from them. But with the help of this armillary sphere and telescope, it can be improved. This move is not only to explore the blood color of the sky, but also to prepare for the expansion and defense of humanity in the future."

"Expansion and defense?"

Qiu Yan's words, as well as the meaning behind the words, were so shocking that even Cai Que didn't care about making things difficult for Qiu Yan, but chewed on the meaning of his words.

This infecting Shinto with humanity is not a simple observation, but to reproduce the phenomenon that can be explained by Shinto with the method of humanity, and then explain it. It is a move to shake the foundation of Shinto, and it will inevitably be hit and suppressed by Shinto!

This is the land of Donghua. Shinto cannot be the only one, so there is such an opportunity, but even so, Xu Ying and others can guess that if it is implemented. What kind of backlash would Shintoism have?

At the same time, Qiu Yan had stopped writing, and his hands were slightly bouncing the two pictures. He blew a breath, and the ink dried.

Then, his eyes fell on the armillary sphere.

What was condensed on this picture was not just the concept of human exploration and expansion, but also preparations for the upcoming starry sky parties.

"Facing the starry sky parties, Donghua is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but it can use the advantages of the terrain and the people. It is enough to compete, but the premise is to unify the consensus. This condensation work will be led by me, and this armillary sphere is not only a human weapon, but also the foundation of Shinto. Maybe it can become my tool for enlightenment!"

After this thought fell, he didn't say anything more or delay, picked up the two pieces of paper, and left the government hall.

As for Xu Yingyi and Cai Que, when they saw him leave, they immediately started to think about it, and they also said goodbye one after another, saying that they were going to the palace.

"Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble before he usurped the throne. Qiu Yan usually looks like a humble gentleman, but now that the former emperor's body is still warm, his true colors are revealed. He is the authoritarian type, and we must not let it go. This matter must be reported to the Queen Mother and the Queen, and the two of you will make the decision and stop his thoughts!"

Their words were undoubtedly to expose Qiu Yan's wolfish ambitions. However, the responses of the Queen Mother and the Queen did not satisfy them. This is also omitted.

Qiu Yan took the map and went straight to the Ministry of Works. After explaining his intention, he asked the craftsman to start working, and he supervised by the side. He also ordered someone to notify Mr. Qingliang and agreed on a time to wait for a detailed meeting.

Time is racing against time. The verbal confrontation with several prime ministers before is something Qiu Yan must experience when he takes power in the future, but it has delayed time. Now the blood in the sky is getting deeper and deeper, and the earth has given birth to all kinds of human conditions, and the spirit of the whole world has been affected.

At the same time, something happened in the Qiu Mansion.

It is said that Qiu Yan left the Tiangang Disha thieves, and after a long journey, he also put the stone basin taken from the thieves' camp on the car and covered it with a piece of cloth. From time to time, you can see a bulge like a little mouse, wandering in it, and from time to time you can see a white and fat figure shuttling in and out.

But just when Qiu Yan said that speech in the government hall, shocking many ministers and causing the fortune of the capital to fluctuate violently, the white and fat figure in the stone basin suddenly paused, and then trembled all over, as if he had discovered something, and then rushed to a corner of the stone basin, constantly squirming, and even attracted several other friends to work together.

Finally, when Qiu Yan directed the craftsmen to make the artifact, the stone basin shook all over, and then the bulge in it sank and disappeared!

Then, there was a powerful and surging luck that swarmed out of the stone basin, but it did not scatter out of the basin, but slowly condensed and swelled in it. Then a fat white figure could be seen rolling in it through the cloth.

"Hmm?" Qiu Yan, who was far away in the Ministry of Industry, felt something in his heart, but now was not the time to split himself and leave, so he could only suppress it temporarily.

On the side, Shi Zuo, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry, was looking at the drawings while consulting the two craftsmen around him. He frowned and said to Qiu Yan: "My Lord, we are afraid that we can't make the thing you mentioned. I'm not afraid of you saying that although there are drawings, it involves fine details. Not to mention other things, just the metal required to maintain this thing is not easy to make."

Not far away, there was a continuous sound of ding-dong, accompanied by bursts of mist, hot and blowing, and people were sweating all over.

This was the workshop of the Ministry of Works, where skilled craftsmen from all over Da Rui gathered, as well as many people with special inheritances. Qiu Yan had been here before, but had never been deep. Now that the world had changed suddenly, he had come out directly from the Council of Government Hall, and with the Queen Mother's oral order, no one dared to stop him, so he was able to pass through unhindered. Otherwise, even if he was the Minister of the Six Ministries, except for the Minister of Works to which he belonged, it would be difficult for others to enter easily.

Qiu Yan had heard the reason for this before, but now after actually walking in, looking around and taking in many scenes, he confirmed it.

Now, listening to the words of the doctor from the Ministry of Industry, feeling the changes in the airflow in the workshop, and capturing a lot of information from the fiery breath.

"There are indeed signs of the Mohist school here. At that time, hundreds of schools competed for glory, and later Confucianism became the dominant one. But in fact, the other schools were not completely destroyed after all. They were integrated into the world in various forms and spread everywhere. The Mohist school There is no doubt that they are divided into the agency branch and the ranger branch, but I also met a few Mohists back then, but they didn't look like they were working for the Ministry of Industry, so I don't know how many secrets there are."

After this thought fell, Qiu Yan did not pursue it, and instead said to the doctor Shi: "Mr. Shi, don't worry about the casting material. Qiu will definitely deliver it within three hours. Apart from that, there are many difficulties." Speaking of which, as for the trivial matters, it doesn’t matter. I will clear them up for you. You just have to worry about it. After the work is completed, it will be a big achievement. I will thank you for your thanks. "

"I dare not take credit. If what the Marquis said is true, we will definitely try our best." Shi Zuo said that he did not dare to take credit, but Qiu Yan had already understood what he was thinking.

"Wealth, silk, and power move people's hearts. Since I am now in a position of power and can mobilize many resources with just one word, I naturally have to savor them. This is also a part of humanity."

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan informed Shizuo and several surrounding craftsmen about some of the key points on the drawing, and asked them to first create some of the scattered pieces and conduct a certain degree of testing.

This explanation lasted for about half an hour. When the craftsmen understood everything, Qiu Yan was about to leave.

At this time, several craftsmen began to sigh: "It is said that Mr. Hou is a master of Confucianism and a famous teacher of his generation. Now I know it is true when I hear it. Rough people like us don't know a lot of Chinese characters, but after listening to Mr. Hou's words I didn’t need to listen to the words a second time to understand the secret behind the drawings. It’s really magical.”

"Yes, but the Marquis is really knowledgeable and talented. He even understands the work of craftsmen like us."

"Old Wang, you don't know this. The wind furs and other utensils we have used in recent years were made by Lord Marquis and were left behind when he went to Beijing."

…

The comments contained a certain amount of flattery, but the admiration contained in them was not fake, but the sincere words of these people.

Hearing this, Qiu Yan was not surprised. Instead, he said: "Literacy is not a big deal. Even your children should read more and write more."

When the others heard this, they just thought it was Qiu Yan's casual words and didn't take it to heart. Only Shi Zuo was moved in his heart and made some guesses, but he didn't say anything out loud.

After that, several craftsmen stepped back and led others to build it first, while Shi Zuo accompanied Qiu Yan to leave. However, at Qiu Yan's request, he did not go through the door he came through, but turned around. To go backwards, leave through another exit.

But this road has to pass through a busy and empty refinery. It is not indoors and occupies a large area. Although the Ministry of Industry is in charge of many construction matters, most of the factories are still on the outskirts of the city. Most of this empty field is only used for experiments and testing, so the equipment inside is often moved, and many clues can be seen.

But Qiu Yan saw a blast furnace with a lot of dust inside. After careful inspection, he could divide the thing into two furnaces, large and small. The big furnace was quite tall. At a glance, he could estimate that it could hold two furnaces. Ten liters of ore, in addition to many small structures, which can be seen as delicate, there are several upper body men busy in it.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yan said: "If my prediction is correct, this thing should stay here forever and use distillation to refine mercury."

"Huh? Mr. Hou is really a sharp eye. This method is indeed a device for distilling mercury. It was created by Qiao Qi, the old minister, when he was in the Ministry of Industry. After several improvements, it has now formed a complete set of methods for refining mercury in earthen stoves. square."

"Qiao Qi..."

Hearing this name, Qiu Yan's thoughts moved slightly, and he felt a trace of cause and effect involved, but he remained calm. Then he bid farewell to Shi Zuo, summoned two subordinate officials, and took them to a small forest outside the city to wait. Change means that people will pick up the things that have fallen to the ground.

The two people were confused, but they followed the instructions. However, after arriving at the place, they waited for nearly an hour and saw no sign, which made them anxious. To be continued

ps: Thanks to "Wuji Nebula", "Bantian Qingzhou", "Danyun", and "Tear the skin without cutting" for their monthly votes!

Because I had something to do before, I set up the automatic setting in the afternoon in a hurry, but I didn't notice that there was evil in my writing. Thank you very much. I try to write as much as possible recently and find time to explode.
