    The nearly transparent beef and mutton changed color as soon as it was scalded in the pot. Li Kui couldn't wait to put down his chopsticks, pick up half of the plate, then dipped some sesame sauce and swallowed it in his big mouth.

    "tasty."

    Li Kui chewed it randomly twice, swallowed it, shouted "good", and stretched his chopsticks into the pot again.

    When everyone heard this, they immediately started to take action.

    Chao Yong was reserved for a moment, then saw Lin Chong staring at the empty pot in a daze.

    The hot pot is delicious, but for a group of big men who can eat several kilograms of meat in one meal, it is a bit slow.  All the vegetables that were left were half-cooked and all were scooped up.

    Even so, everyone was full of praise and asked how to make sesame sauce.

    Now they are all wealthy families, with dozens of servants at home. If you want to eat hot pot, you can make it at home, as long as you have the recipe.

    Chao Yong was not stingy either. He asked the chef to copy down the recipe for the pot and gave each person a copy.

    Twenty or so people ate a few cows and sheep before putting down their chopsticks.

    Chao Yong¡¯s steamed spirits are also liked by most people, and a fierce man like Wu Song can no longer drink bowls of them as water.  However, the alcohol capacity of Wu Song and others was still greater than Chao Yong's surprise. Chao Yong originally thought that it would be a big deal for someone who drank strong alcohol for the first time to eat a pound.

    Unexpectedly, Wu Song, Li Kui, Liu Tang, and Ruan Xiaoqi all ate more than two kilograms before they became drunk, and Ruan Xiaoqi and others also ate more than one kilogram.

    When the banquet broke up, most of the people at the two tables were empty, so Chao Yong asked his soldiers to send the drunk people back.

    After the banquet, Chao Yong only stayed with Lin Chong, Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu.

    While Chao Yong was eating hangover soup, he told him one by one about his plans to destroy Wanjiao and go to Jiangnan.

    When Lin Chong heard that he was asked to lead his troops to destroy Wang Qing alone, he immediately said: "As long as 50,000 troops are needed to help, it will be enough to wipe out Wang Qing."

    Xu Guanzhong said: "The crown prince's annihilation of Xixia has shocked the world. As soon as General Lin's troops arrive, many people will think of surrendering. Using both suppression and appeasement, Wang Qing can be wiped out with fewer casualties."

    Lin Chong nodded and said: "Wang Qing's men are all Han people, and I will not drive them all to death for the sake of military exploits."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The heroes see the same thing. Ningxia Road requires a large number of Han people to assimilate the party members. Those held hostage by Wang Qing can be moved to Ningxia Road to cultivate fields."

    Zhu Wudao: "The Southern Army has always been weak, and the Southern Song Dynasty did not have a long time to organize its troops. It should be easy to wipe out the Southern Song Dynasty. Only Master Lu has hundreds of thousands of people in his bag. There are also Manichaean elites among them, so I am afraid it will take a little more effort."  ¡±

    Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said: "The people are willing to follow Manichaeism only because Manichaeism's taxes are lighter than those of the Song Dynasty. But I, Daliang, are exempted from all agricultural taxes and corvees, which is more attractive than Manichaeism. I am willing to follow Lu  The people that Shi Nang and I, Daliang, are fighting against should not be too big. The remaining Manichaeans can also be divided by Fang Jie and Shi Bao, and it will not be too difficult to unify the world. "

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "I want to wipe out all religions. If Fang Jie and Shi Bao are used to divide the Manichaean followers, it will be difficult to deal with this group of people."

    Hearing what Chao Yong said, Xu Guanzhong couldn't say anything more.

    ??Throughout the ages, most of the tycoons have been evil-minded people who could do things like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges without blinking an eye.  Chao Yong was unwilling to break his promise.  This matter is no longer feasible.  Although he does not believe in any religion, he knows that Manichaeism's power to confuse its followers is definitely more than that of Buddhism and Taoism. If he openly tells Manichaeism to the followers that he will ban the inheritance of Manichaeism in the future, even if they all know that Master Lu  The bag harmed the holy aunt.  Nor will he surrender to Daliang.

    It is not easy for him to persuade Chao Yong to be a man with evil intentions, not to mention that the general trend of the world has been decided, and the prince does not need to do anything detrimental to his reputation.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The main force of Manichaeism has been annihilated by the Western Army, and Lu Shinang's subordinates are just a partial force. It won't take much effort to wipe them out. The armies will rest for half a month, and the two groups of troops will go out together at the beginning of next month. Maybe this year  You can dominate the world.¡±

    The three of them didn¡¯t have much objection. Thinking of the speed with which Daliang wiped out the world, they felt very proud.

    After the soldiers exchanged views, Chao Yong asked everyone about their views on the extermination of religion.

    Lin Chong said: "Both Buddhism and Taoism have produced a lot of scum in recent years. In addition, various illusions have been performed in Tokyo. Many of the tricks used by Buddhism and Taoism to pretend to be gods and ghosts have also been exposed. It will not be possible to destroy all religions."  What a big mess."

    Xu Guanzhong nodded and said: "There have been many annihilations of Buddhism in the past dynasties. As long as the foundation of the court is stable, religion will not cause any trouble. Although our country has just been founded, the preferential treatment given to the people is unprecedented in the past dynasties. Even those religious people want to  If they want to cause trouble, so will the people who are willing to follow them.??Not much.  When people have no difficulty in making a living, who would want to follow those religious rebellions?  "

    Zhu Wu smiled and said: "The prince is now the only true god in the world. When choosing between the true god and the false god, few people will make the wrong choice."

    Xu Guanzhong smiled and said: "If the prince can perform some miracles, no one will question the prince's decision."

    "What miracle?"

    Xu Guanzhong thought for a while and said: "Now everyone believes that the prince is a god descended to earth, mainly because the prince is invincible in battles and invented the amazingly powerful gunpowder. But these are still less shocking to the people. In their hearts, the prince  More like a god of war than an omnipotent god."

    Chao Yong also knew that Xu Guanzhong didn't believe it, so he immediately asked He Yong to bring him the dictionary and mathematics he had completed, as well as some physics books he had written.

    Hundreds of copies of the completed dictionary and mathematics had been printed, so Chao Yong asked He Yong to give each of the three a dictionary and mathematics.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "There is nothing new in the dictionary, except that there is an additional phonetic notation method, which I think is more accurate and simpler than the current Fanqie. In mathematics, new numbers and symbols are used, and there are also some new arithmetic methods, which can make people  Easier calculations.¡±

    Xu Guanzhong opened the dictionary and looked at mathematics, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. He used to not believe that the prince was a god descending to earth.  But after reading these two books, he couldn't help but be shaken.  Since the prince dares to write a book, then pinyin and mathematics are mature knowledge. At least there will be no mistakes in it. Otherwise, once someone discovers it and it is difficult to justify it, it will be difficult to promote these things.  And a mature knowledge often requires many generations to perfect.  He had never heard of these things before, and they couldn't have been created by the prince's whim.

    Could it be that these things really come from heaven?

    Chao Yong looked at Xu Guanzhong's surprised look with satisfaction, then handed some physics books written in his hand to Xu Guanzhong and said: "This is another science I compiled, called physics, which reveals the laws of all things in the world."

    The physics written by Chao Yong included some knowledge of physics and chemistry from later generations. Although Chao Yong was a college student, he could not systematically recall the textbooks from previous generations.  I can only get a physics book here and there with a hammer and a stick here and there, and wait for the books that will be looted from the West to fill it in the future.  The mathematics and physics he writes about are preceded by elementary, which also tells people that there will be intermediate and advanced later.  Of course, if Chao Yong cannot obtain the follow-up knowledge, the intermediate and advanced levels will have to wait for future generations to complete it.

    What Chao Yong has to do is to bring science to China.  Let it take root and sprout, and it will grow naturally in the future.  Instead of completely teaching a profound science to the world, there are no conditions for verifying profound science at this time, and many things cannot be explained at all.  All disciplines can only develop slowly and promote each other.

    Xu Guanzhong took the physics book written by Chao Yong and read it briefly. There were principles explained in it.  There are also designed experiments that can be verified. It seems that this knowledge can be verified through experiments.  But those conclusions seem a little unreliable. This experiment is actually to verify that two things with different weights fall at the same speed.

    He subconsciously felt that the heavier things should fall faster, but he also felt that since the prince dared to write something so easy to verify whether it was right or wrong.  There should be full confidence.

    Xu Guanzhong secretly decided to do an experiment after returning home, and what he wrote later turned out to be buoyancy. Water has buoyancy, and air also has buoyancy.

    The chapter on buoyancy has just begun.  There were no designed experiments either.

    Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but asked curiously: "Water has buoyancy, so we can swim. But if air also has buoyancy, why can't we float?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "If the air has no buoyancy, how can the Kongming Lantern fly?"

    When Xu Guanzhong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

    Everyone in the world knows that Kongming lanterns can fly, but the reason behind it is unclear.

    Xu Guanzhong couldn¡¯t explain why, but after hearing Chao Yong use the sky lantern to explain the buoyancy of the air, he felt that it made some sense.  But after thinking about it, he added: "Then why can it only rise after lighting a fire?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Stones can't float in the water, but they can float if they are placed on a boat. This is because the buoyancy force is greater than gravity, so they can float. If you keep putting rocks on the boat, it will also weigh the boat down."  Before it is lit, the gravity of the sky lantern is greater than the buoyancy, so it will naturally not float. After it is lit, the nearby air will expand when heated, and its density will then rise to squeeze out the cold air in the sky lantern.  When the air gives it buoyancy, the sky lantern rises."

    Although Xu Guanzhong is smart, he is still confused by a series of words such as thermal expansion and density.

    Chao Yong looks at Xu GuanzhongWith a confused look on his face, he knew he didn't understand, so he smiled and said, "When I compile it into a book, you can read it slowly. It's actually not difficult to understand."

    Zhu Wu suddenly said: "The boat can carry people, but can the Kongming Lantern carry people?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Of course you can, as long as you make a larger hot air balloon, it can carry people."

    Hearing this, Zhu Wu immediately said: "If the hot air balloon flies higher than the chariot, then in the future we can use the hot air balloon to replace the chariot to keep an eye on the enemy."

    Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "A hot air balloon can fly up to several thousand feet, but we may not be able to make such a hot air balloon. We still have to make a hot air balloon to know how high it can fly."

    Zhu Wu thought more about the battle formation, and said with a fanciful expression: "If we can control the direction, takeoff and landing of the hot air balloon, and load some fire mines on it, then we can bomb the enemy from above."

    Lin Chong and Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.

    The army had just assembled when fire and thunder suddenly dropped from above their heads. In the huge explosion, the people around them were torn apart, their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the flying iron pieces killed and injured people in the distance.  The soldiers and horses that had just been assembled fell into chaos and even collapsed under the bombardment of fire and thunder.

    This is the real divine thunder.

    Just thinking about it, the two felt that this combination was enough to influence the battlefield situation.

    Chao Yong had ridden in a hot air balloon when traveling in later generations, so he knew some knowledge about hot air balloons.  The wind direction is different at different heights in the air. A hot air balloon changes its direction with the help of wind from different directions by adjusting the height of the hot air balloon.  However, knowing does not necessarily mean that it can be achieved. Everything requires experimentation to know how far it can be achieved now.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Theoretically it can be done, but it all requires a lot of experiments. But it is easy to make a hot air balloon fly with people."

    Xu Guanzhong said: "If people can fly, it will be much easier for the prince to destroy the religion. As long as the prince announces the principle of the hot air balloon later, the people will definitely think that it belongs to the prince when they see people flying in the air."  No matter which religion can make people fly, only the prince can make people fly. If the prince says that they are all fake, the people will naturally think that they are fake.  Explain this principle, and no one except a few people will remember those religions.¡±

    Zhu Wu said with a smile: "The prince didn't need to say anything. He just pretended to be a hot air balloon experiment by the Ministry of War and accidentally ran out of the camp for the people to see. As long as the prince doesn't explain, they will naturally regard it as a miracle."

    Chao Yong has decided to popularize science, so naturally he doesn¡¯t want to pretend to be a god anymore.  Hearing that Zhu Wu could free him, he nodded secretly.

    Xu Guanzhong added: "We can use a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we can create gods and let the image of the prince's god descending to earth be deeply rooted in people's hearts. On the other hand, we can expose some common religious deceptive spells and make people doubt religion. Gongsun Sheng knows a lot about those Taoist spells, so let him  Talk about some common deceptive tricks used by Buddhism and publish them in newspapers to make people in the world doubt Buddhism."

    Shi Qian jumped down from the beam and said with a smile: "I'm afraid exposing them directly will scare off the enemy. It's better to arrest a few deceitful monks and Taoist priests, and then publish their shenanigans in the newspaper. This will not attract too much attention."  Attention."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "It seems that you have found many deceptive monks and Taoist priests."

    "There are a few of them in Tokyo. After hearing their Taoist teachings, I became very curious and secretly followed them several times. I also figured out their tricks. In fact, they are just like Taoist priests who perform illusions. They do not prepare props in advance.  They can¡¯t fool anyone either.¡±

    Chao Yong didn¡¯t expect that someone would bring him a pillow just after he fell asleep.  He said happily: "Okay. Then take down these people, and then publish an issue of Di Bao. It will be dedicated to exposing their deception, plus some common charlatanism."

    Xu Guanzhong said: "Since the prince's mathematics has been written, why not take advantage of this time to go to Taixue to give lectures. As long as this mathematics is really practical, it will definitely cause a sensation. If we do some physical experiments, everyone in the world will doubt whether this knowledge comes from  Heaven.¡±

    Chao Yong really has no other suitable answer to this question except that it comes from heaven.  If it were said that he came from the hereafter, it would obviously be harder for people to believe than that he came from heaven.  People in this era believed in ghosts and gods, but they did not yet have the concept of traveling through time and space.  If it was said to be human knowledge, Chao Yong would have no shame in saying that he had researched it, and no one would believe it.  I want to find a school of thought, but I am afraid of being exposed.  The safest bet is that it comes from heaven.

    Chao Yong is also very helpless about this matter. On the one hand, he wants to open people's eyes to the world and eliminate ghosts and gods, but on the other hand, he wants to spread science under the guise of gods.

    The two are originally opposed to each other, but Chao Yong has to admit that spreading science under the guise of a god will get twice the result with half the effort. Even if he doesn¡¯t work hard to promote it, he willPeople try every possible means to obtain knowledge from gods.

    "Okay, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will start giving lectures at Taixue. I have printed five hundred books, and I have to send them out to prevent them from getting moldy in my place."

    Xu Guanzhong smiled and said: "I will definitely attend the lecture then, and I will not return this book."

    Zhu Wu and Lin Chong also said: "We will go too."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "That's it for you. This mathematics is of great use. All the accounts of the Royal Bank are made using numerical symbols in mathematics."

    Xu Guanzhong said: "I'm afraid it won't be long before all industries will use mathematics knowledge."

    Everyone chatted for a while. Seeing that the prince had no other instructions, they stood up and left.

    Lin Chong and Chao Yong were not polite and said with a smile: "The steamed wine I had today is strong enough. When will the prince steam it again and give it to me?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "It's easy to steam wine. I'll ask someone to make a distiller and send it to your house. You can steam it yourself and drink it."

    Daliang and Song dynasties generally prohibited people from privately brewing and selling wine, but this law was not unreasonable, and people could still brew some for themselves.  Making wine is not difficult, and many people can do it. However, home-made wine is naturally inferior to that made by professional winemakers, so most people do not know how to make their own wine.  Of course, many powerful people still brewed their own wine, and the people who made wine for them were also professional winemakers. In the Song Dynasty, many powerful people brewed wine not only for their own consumption, but also for sale.

    Lin Chong was about to accept it with a smile, but Xu Guanzhong next to him suddenly said: "No."

    Chao Yong inherited Chao Gai¡¯s generous temperament, so everyone in Liangshan dared to speak.  Otherwise, no matter how good the friendship is, if you meet a stingy person, opening your mouth will only destroy the relationship.

    ¡°One asks for it, and the other is willing to give it.  No one expected that Xu Guanzhong would jump out to stop him, and they couldn't help but look at Xu Guanzhong in surprise.

    Xu Guanzhong said hurriedly: "Spirits can bring huge income, and people in the North love liquor. In the past, they didn't buy a lot of our liquor because they also made wine, but the liquor they made was not the same as the liquor on the market now.  Same, it's not strong enough. If they are allowed to taste this kind of spirit, they will definitely buy it in large quantities. As long as they can't make the spirit, they can sell it for as much money as they want. In the future, they may earn more from selling the spirit.  All high.¡±

    Chao Yong frowned and said: "But steaming wine is not difficult. As long as some rumors are leaked, you can figure it out."

    "It's actually not that far from the Kongming Lantern to the hot air balloon, but no one would have thought of it until the prince said it. The same goes for steamed wine. As long as you keep all the people who know the information under surveillance, I'm afraid no one else will think of it in a short time."
