"Aisu.com" access address
Qi people worry about the sky, from "Liezi Tianrui". It tells the story of a person in Qi State who is worried that the sky will collapse and the earth will fall.
Normally, this is really idle and thoughts. But in fact, one day the sun, moon and stars will fall down. Either meteorites attack or the sun expands and swallows the earth.
"There are no heavenly palaces, nor are there immortals in the sky, only sun, moon, stars and various meteorites." Su Chen held his shoulder and looked at Liu Che. "Have you seen meteorites outside the sky? That is the stars in the sky, but they are too small, they are the fragments of the stars. But there are also big ones that will fall down. Once they fall down, they will collapse the sky and the earth and destroy the world."
Su Chen's words scared everyone in the hall. He could clearly see that Liu Che's face was pale and his body was shaking, and he was obviously scared.
Finally, Su Chen felt much more happy and started extinguishing the fire.
After all, these words have scared everyone. I guess those who have heart disease should do it now. He doesn't want to perform cardiac resuscitation techniques live.
"But this kind of destructive star fall is not often born." Su Chen raised his tail and pointed his ears. "The last time was 65 million years ago. The next time, you will definitely not be able to see it in your lifetime."
Relieving sounds were heard in the hall.
It’s not that they don’t know, but because Su Chen’s previous magical performances have already made these people subconsciously regard him as a powerful person, and what Su Chen said is naturally extremely important.
If Su Chen said that the world would be destroyed tomorrow, maybe these people would really believe it.
Liu Che coughed, and everyone quickly returned to their previous expressions. It was as if the palace maids who had been pressed to pause button were dancing again, and the musician continued to ring the chime. This really made Su Chen look at him with admiration.
Who dares to say that the ancients were all fools? Su Chen would definitely give him a palm technique that fell from the sky in the back of the head.
This acting and eye-catching force cannot be achieved by many big stars in the modern world.
Interestingly, except for a small number of essential dishes, the banquets in the palace were all bought from Su Chen’s tavern.
There is no way, for big men who only cook and roast, the stir-fry with various modern seasonings is really too attractive.
As for distilled wine, it is completely incomparable to those turbid wines that can be easily drunk for thousands of cups.
The wine that the big man drank was basically turbid wine, which was the kind with a lot of precipitates and a very low alcohol content. Isn’t there any lyrics that sang “A pot of turbid wine and a happy meeting”?
In addition to distilled wine, these great men also like to drink grapes.
In this era, grapes have not been cultivated and screened through agricultural practices, and they are small and sour. You can imagine what the wine made from these grapes tastes.
Seeing everyone from Liu Che who was holding cheap red wine with sugar water and drinking it happily, Su Chen really laughed so hard.
Especially when he saw Gongsun Hong secretly hiding the red wine bottle into his sleeves, he clapped his hands even more.
Gongsun Hong, who was sitting opposite Su Chen, was not noticed ashamed of stealing the wine bottle. He bowed to Su Chen openly, "When Chen Hou laughed, I am very fond of such a top-quality glass pot. I laughed."
"It's okay." Su Chen smiled and waved his hand. "If you like it, take it as much as you want."
The jellyfish in Gongsun Hong's cold dish was sent into his mouth, and the biting sounded, "Chen Hou really has the power to heaven. It is a great pleasure for me to eat such fresh seafood in Chang'an City."
Su Chen lowered his eyelids, "If you like to eat, eat more."
Chang'an City is thousands of miles away from the sea, and there are no refrigerators or freezers these days. If you want to eat seafood, you either travel thousands of miles to the beach or you eat it smells bad.
As for the refrigerated goods that Su Chen brought over, I don’t know how long it took to keep them in the refrigerator. Seeing everyone eating with relish, he himself has no appetite anyway.
"I don't know where Chen Hou got such a top-notch glass?" Gongsun Hong, who put down his chopsticks, picked up the glass for drinking red wine, and moved the topic to this again.
"I know how to turn stones into gold."
‘Puff~~~’ As soon as Su Chen said, at least ten people in the hall were squirting wine. Half of the palace maids danced the wrong dance steps, and all the musicians beat the wrong rhythm.
Everyone looked at Su Chen like he was looking at Jinshan.
Su Chen shrugged without saying anything.
He did not lie. Glass was indeed made of silica. It is not wrong to say that it was turned into gold by turning stones into gold.
"Where are you going?" Seeing Huo Qubing beside him stand up and quickly walk out of the hall, Su Chen called him in surprise.
Huo Qubing shouted without looking back, "I remember there is a huge rock in the vestyard, I'll bring it to you now."
Su Chen picked up a peach that shouldn't have appeared at this time and hit Huo Qubing's head.
"The technique of turning stones into gold does not mean that it can directly turn stones into gold. I can't do that to change the structure of physical basic particles." Su Chen originally wanted to improve his style, but was destroyed by Huo Qubing, a fool.
"You all know that steel is extracted from iron ore, and this glass is actually extracted from stones. I mean, I know how to extract glass from a suitable stone. It does not directly change the molecular formula!"
After Su Chen's explanation, no matter whether he understood it or not, at least everyone was relieved on the surface.
The legendary immortal spell that turns stones into gold is really too terrifying once it really appears.
"That's right." Huo Qubing became smarter at this time. "If you can really turn stones into gold, you don't have to sell them all day for gold."
Su Chen ignored him and looked at Gongsun Hong. "In your opinion, Liuli is very precious, because the quantity is too small. No matter what it is, it will be very precious if it is small. If there are too many and everywhere, it will be as valuable as cabbage. Cabbage is glutinous vegetables."
Among the many vegetables, syrup is the most famous Chinese original. In Su Chen's opinion, its value is even higher than that of vegetable leaves.
"Chen Hou can sell the method of refining glass to my great man?" Gongsun Hong was still sober and did not directly say that Su Chen would give it to him for nothing.
"It's nothing to tell you." Su Chen's words made everyone in the hall raise their mouths.
"But what's the use of you to have glass like mountains and seas?" This sentence stunned everyone again.
Indeed, if there are as many glass as the stones on the mountain, what is the point?
In this era, glazed glass was worn as an ornament like jade pendants. Could it be that people all over the world were covered with glazed accessories?
"Primary, draw the key points!" Su Chen picked up the chopsticks and knocked on the case in front of him. "You must understand what you need most now. What you need is the power to improve your combat effectiveness, quickly defeat the Huns, and then sweep the world all the way west. Instead of a pile of flashy glass."
Liu Che finally spoke, "Then what do you have to improve your combat effectiveness?"
"I mean little." Su Chen smiled, "There is something that can effectively improve the combat capabilities of the Han army in a short period of time, and it is also a big man who can quickly produce equipment. This is not to be given gold, just treat it as my gift."
"Okay." Liu Che's interest was obviously raised. "I like your gifts very much, and I will never treat you badly."
Su Chen waved his hand and said, "Eat, eat first. After the meal, you will talk about it. Don't rush to do this for a while."
The meals are eaten, the dances are dancing, and the music is not stopped from beginning to end.
Until everyone was full of wine and food, they looked at him with bright eyes. Su Chen slowly put down his chopsticks, got up and walked out of the hall gate.
"Where are you going?" Huo Qubing, who was not interested in singing and dancing, but was very concerned about Huo Qubing, who could improve his combat capabilities but was extremely concerned about it.
Seeing that everyone in the hall was rushing to chase after him, Su Chen smiled and said, "Go to the stable."
"It must be mainly cavalry to deal with the Huns. There is no mobility brought by horses on the vast grassland, and even chasing them can't catch up with others." Su Chen chatted with Huo Qubing, but what he said was for everyone, "Is the horses of the Han army very high?"
"Not." Huo Qubing said bitterly. "Take ten thousand horses out, and the maximum amount you can use when you come back is only five thousand. In addition to combat losses, the biggest consumption is to stick out the horse's hooves."
What Huo Qubing said about sticking out the horse's hooves is actually the horse's hooves are worn and cracked, causing the horses to be unable to run anymore.
Once the horse's hooves crack, it means that a valuable military horse will be destroyed. This is definitely a heavy blow to the Han army, which was originally very short of horses.
"Do you have a way to solve this problem?" Huo Qubing asked curiously.
Su Chen smiled without saying a word, signaling him to lead the way.
During the Han Dynasty, the official horse-raising camp was supervised by the Taipu. There was also a place for raising horses for the royal family in the Shaofu, called the Sixth Stable of Emperor Emperor.
In the early Han Dynasty, all industries were withered, and there were only more than a hundred horses in the royal stable. Liu Bang could not even find six horses of the same color to pull carts when he traveled.
After that, horse politics were vigorously carried out throughout the ages, which led to the rapid increase in the number of horses.
The reason why Taifu, who was in charge of Ma Zheng, was able to rank among the three dukes because horses were too important in the era of cold weapons. This was a fighter jet in the era of cold weapons.
Of course, the place to raise horses cannot be in the Weiyang Palace. In fact, because the area required is large, the six stables of Emperor Emperor are all located in Shanglin Garden outside the city.
A large group of people came to the stables in Shanglinyuan, frightened everyone inside and saluted Liu Che in panic.
Stables are made not only with horses, but also with many cattle.
These days, ox carts are a symbol of status, and no one is qualified to sit on them.
Hundreds of cattle and horses gather together and produce a lot of feces every day. The smell is definitely floating three miles against the wind. No one will take the initiative to approach this place on weekdays, and the taste is so touching.
Su Chen was so frightened that he would carry a mask with him in order to hide his identity every day, which saved his sense of smell.
At first glance, there were many horses tied in the stable, with shoulder heights of more than seven feet. It was already considered a horse in the Central Plains.
Looking around, Su Chen told Huo Qubing to "find me a few blacksmiths."
