"Congratulations to the emperor!"
Outside the reading hall, Merton and Yuan Shoucheng saw Li Shimin off with a long sigh of relief.
"With a rising star like Mo Daoyou, the Mohists will never worry!" Yuan Shoucheng suddenly sighed, and even put Merton in an equal position in his tone.
Yuan Shoucheng, who has become a master, can't see that according to the development of Merton's ideas, Mohism will rise again. Although Merton doesn't have the name of a giant, he is actually a giant. In terms of status, Merton is enough to be on an equal footing with Yuan Shoucheng, a Taoist cow.
"Taoist yuan is a bad boy. The Mohist school has risen from the micro. If you want to reproduce the glory of the Mohist school, you must do a useful study." Merton doesn't hide his ideas in front of the mature yuan Shoucheng and is open and aboveboard.
Yuan Shoucheng's eyes flashed and he couldn't help sighing. The Mohist school focused on reproducing the brilliance of ink technology, which benefited the people and was useful to the people. The imperial court contributes astronomical taxes, which is useful to the imperial court. Who will let useful talents abandon at will?
"The Mohist school is really lucky to have such a rising star as Mo Daoyou." Yuan Shoucheng said with emotion.
"Taoist yuan praised me wrongly. I'm just inheriting the benefits of my predecessors. Thank you for your outspoken words today. I'm grateful." Merton bowed to Yuan Shoucheng. If yuan Shoucheng hadn't spoken for him today, I'm afraid he wouldn't get away easily.
"You're welcome, Taoist Mo and his family are one of the hundred schools of thought. Naturally, they share the same spirit. But didn't you also hide the harm of mercury poison for Taoist?" Yuan Shoucheng said with a mysterious smile.
Suddenly, Morton was surprised, suddenly turned and stared at Yuan Shoucheng, clenched his palm, and couldn't help sweating.
"So, Taoism also knows the harm of mercury poison, so why use this to refine elixir?" Merton said inconceivably.
"What if you know? The way to live forever is a thousand years of difficulties. Even if there is only a chance, no one is willing to give up." Yuan Shoucheng said calmly.
Merton nodded silently. Indeed, what longevity can attract the world more. Since ancient times, how many people have gone astray in pursuit of immortality.
"Taking food and seeking immortals are mostly mistaken by medicine."
Even in the Han Dynasty, some people wrote poems to satirize the harm of pills, but who can refuse the desire for longevity, especially those who have power and power. When they are young, they are wise and powerful, but the older they are, they are more afraid of death. Pills are often like grasping the last straw. Even if they drink poison to quench their thirst, they will drink them without hesitation.
"Taoist priest should belong to the inner alchemy sect!" Merton said. Yuan Shoucheng lived so long and was able to talk about the harm of pills with Mohist Zi Xinping. It was obviously the inner alchemy sect.
Yuan Shoucheng nodded. The inner alchemy sect practices on its own. Or it looks at the palm of its hand. Although it also refines alchemy, it refines more plant and pill.
"Taoist priest should know that no one has ever lived long by taking pills since ancient times, and even the harm of pills will break out one day. I'm afraid it will be a great disaster for Taoism." Merton pointed out the biggest problem of Mohism.
Yuan Shoucheng took a swipe at the corners of his mouth, which was the phenomenon he was most worried about.
Waidan sect is the best weapon for Taoism to attract secular worship, but it is most likely to hurt the foundation of Mohism. Alchemy seems mysterious, but in fact it is really dangerous. It will break out if you are not careful. There are many prescriptions that have been beheaded in history.
It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty recruited a wide range of alchemists to refine elixirs. After passing the test, he was crowned an official and was exposed to the scam.
"Mo Taoist friends can see through the harm of mercury poison as well. Why should they cover up for Taoism?" Yuan Shoucheng asked unintentionally.
"Because in my opinion, the Taoist waidan sect is also as wrong as the Mohist sect before." Merton threw the ground and said in a voice.
"Wrong way!" Yuan Shoucheng looked at Merton suspiciously.
"Yes!" Morton said proudly, "in my opinion, the Taoist waidan sect refined gold and stone from all things. How much knowledge there will be in it, which is no less than the supreme knowledge of Mohism."
Although alchemists have been criticized in later generations, they do not know that these alchemists are the most primitive chemists. Refining, purification, distillation and redox can all be invented and created by these alchemists, and even make gunpowder, one of the four great inventions. It can be said that they have made great contributions.
If we simply deny and suppress it, destroy it and vanish in history, I'm afraid it will be the greatest loss to the Chinese nation.
"So? The Mohists want a secret recipe for alchemy?" Yuan Shoucheng looked at Merton with a smile.
Merton suddenly breathed. That was the highest achievement of chemistry in this era. If Mohism was allowed to develop step by step, I'm afraid it would not reach this level in decades.
"Of course! But in return, the boy can provide the Taoist priest with a prescription that can make people return to their old age and children for free. The children eat it and grow up healthily, and the old man eats it with vigorous steps and youth, and there are no side effects."
"Is there really such a good medicine in this world?" Yuan Shoucheng's eyes flashed. If this medicine really has the curative effect as Merton said, with a little packaging, I'm afraid it will be much better than the pill with serious sequelae and no obvious effect.
"Naturally, I dare not deceive Taoist priest. The secret lies in human bones. Taoist priest grows from children to adults, but human bones are growing. Mohist studies expressions. The highest content in bones is a substance called calcium. The growth of human bones is actually the continuous accumulation of calcium. This is actually the case for the elderly with pain, leg cramps and easy fracture The loss of calcium, "Merton explained.
In this era when meat is very scarce, almost everyone, young and old, is short of calcium. If there are effective calcium tablets, it will certainly set off such a storm.
"Good!" Yuan Shoucheng was immediately happy.
At his age, he naturally experienced the calcium deficiency stage mentioned by Merton. With his own personal experience, he naturally believed that what Merton said was true.
"If you are so happy to tell this secret, you are not afraid of being poor and eating your words." Yuan Shoucheng said.
"Of course, Taoist yuan's character can be trusted. But Taoist yuan is sure that without the help of the boy, you can find calcium that can be absorbed by the human body! Instead of repeating the path of pills." Merton smiled like a fox stealing a chicken.
"Er, ER!" Yuan Shoucheng was shocked. Although he understood the truth, Merton didn't reveal what to do, and there were no relevant talents in Taoism.
"No wonder your majesty calls you catfish! It's really slippery and autumn!" Yuan Shoucheng laughed angrily.
Merton was not ashamed, but proud and said with a smile: "so, the Taoist priest agreed!"
"However, instead of passing on alchemy to Mohism, he cooperated with Mohism to study the mystery of alchemy." Yuan Shoucheng shook his head.
If alchemy is really as mysterious as Merton said, it will be the biggest treasure of Taoism. Yuan Shoucheng is certainly unwilling to give it to the Mohists.
"Yes!" Merton said without hesitation. Since the Mohist school has cooperated with farmers and doctors, it's nothing to have another Taoist school.
And as Merton just said, the Mohists are trying to make themselves useful in order to survive. Naturally, it also includes being useful to Taoism,
