Chapter 279 The name has changed
Cheng Jiao stood on the carriage with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Zhuanpo held a sharp sword in his hand and stared at the person who came.
A master, an unmatched master.
A man in a black cloak, a righteous middle-aged man.
Cheng Jiao bowed from a distance: "Master, chivalrous leader."
Master Ban, who was following behind the Six-Fingered Black Knight and the knight leader Tian Guang, had not yet turned completely white in hair and beard.
He whispered, "Hey, Jing Ke, did you come to Xianyang just for this guy?"
Jing Ke shook his hair and said, "Yes, it's him, Brother Qin. He can drink quite well! We're on our way, so let's have a drink."
The rather cute little chubby Master Ban stroked his long beard.
Looking at Cheng Jiao who was greeting him with a bow, he said to himself, "The big boss is almost praising this guy to the point of praising him to the point of being a flower, but I don't see anything special about him."
Jing Ke took a sip of wine and said, "Oh, you are wrong. What did Cheng Jiao say? Don't judge a person by his appearance. Don't judge a person by his wine. Hiccup~"
Master Ban was puzzled and asked, "How can we measure wine without a bucket? Isn't the wine in your pot measured out by a bucket?"
Jing Ke scratched his head and said, "Really? Oh, maybe Cheng Jiao was wrong."
Tian Guang took a step forward and returned the greeting, "Mr. Chang'an, long time no see. Brother Liuzhi and I are sorry for coming to visit you so abruptly this time."
Cheng Jiao got off the carriage and said with a smile, "Xia Kui, please be polite. You and I are old acquaintances, so how can I be so rude? How about we go to your house and talk first?"
The six-fingered black knight who had been silent the whole time opened his mouth and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Chengjiao."
Tian Guang looked at the Six-Fingered Black Knight with some surprise. He didn't expect that Six-Fingered Black Knight knew Cheng Jiao.
Immediately, he became puzzled. Since they knew each other, why did she want to meet him and ask him to come with her to find Cheng Jiao?
Zhuanpo saw that he was not an enemy and slowly retracted his sword.
At the same time, he was also amazed at Cheng Jiao's charm, which could make the two leaders of the Hundred Schools of Thought come to visit him together.
This is a treatment that even the monarchs of the seven countries find difficult to obtain.
For the first time, Zhuanpo felt that it was lucky for her and her sister that Cheng Jiao slept with them, and that they took advantage of Cheng Jiao.
Cheng Jiao sat in the main seat.
After Ali asked Hongyu and Caidie to serve tea to the guests, he stood quietly behind Cheng Jiao and watched.
Master Ban picked up the exquisite teacup and took a sip.
The tea fragrance, which is just the right amount of strong and light, left Master Ban with a lingering aftertaste.
Even he, who often drinks and is not very fond of tea, can see that tea is a treasure.
But Jing Ke just drank it without any hesitation.
"Oh, it's Snow Top Silver Shuttle, still the same flavor. Not as strong as the wine, isn't it, old man Ban?"
Master Ban signaled Jing Ke with his eyes and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ke, don't be so casual."
If it were just him and the giant, Jing Ke could make as much noise as he wanted.
Now not only is the chief farmer here, but also the local tyrant Chang'an Jun. Jing Ke's erratic personality will cause many unnecessary misunderstandings.
Jing Ke muttered, "Old Ban, I see you are getting more and more bored as time goes by. Now have a few drinks with me to slow down your pace."
Master Ban was speechless. How many cups are there? Can't you tell the difference between a wine jar, a wine jug and a wine glass?
Master Ban wrinkled his nose and decided not to talk about this topic anymore.
Back then, he was known in the Mohist school for his inability to get drunk. It was the skill he gained from drinking that made his attainments in mechanical engineering better than those of the giants.
Seeing that Master Ban ignored him, Jing Ke felt a little bored, so he used the empty teacup as a wine glass and drank from it to amuse himself.
Old Man Ban was right about one thing, the leader of the farming family is still there.
If it was only Cheng Jiao, he would have dragged Cheng Jiao directly to the Qixiang Pavilion opened by the farmer to drink and listen to music.
Seeing that the master wanted to find Cheng Jiao for something, Jing Ke wondered whether he should run away to pee.
I heard that Han Shen traveled to Xianyang.
Maybe I can have a drink with Han Shen.
This guy's swordsmanship is pretty good, just a little bit worse than his.
It would be great if Kuang Xiu could play a song to liven up the atmosphere.
Jing Ke thought with some pride.
Master Ban was very impressed when he saw Jing Ke drinking leisurely.
I used to do whatever I wanted, but unfortunately I’m no longer young and now it’s boring.
Cheng Jiao and Tian Guang exchanged pleasantries for a while before Tian Guang changed the subject.
"Haha, Chang'an Jun, if I had known that you and Brother Liuzhi knew each other, I wouldn't have joined in the fun. Brother Liuzhi didn't say a word, it really made me suffer."
The six-fingered black hero is in his cloak, and his expression is unclear.
The voice was calm, "Please forgive me, Xia Kui, but time is tight, so we just talk together."
Tian Guang was extremely curious as to what could have made the famous Six-Fingered Black Knight in the martial arts world so cautious and anxious.
"Brother Liuzhi, you can just call me brother. I wonder why you want to meet Lord Chang'an with me?"
Cheng Jiao held the hot tea and sipped it slowly.
As for the reason why the Six-Fingered Black Knight came to see him, he had a rough guess in his mind, it was nothing more than some problems regarding production and manufacturing.
The last time the Six-Fingered Black Knight came to Xinzheng to find him, he was unexpectedly caught and besieged by the five elders of the Yin-Yang School. After speaking to him for a few words, he hurried back to the Mohist Mechanical City to prevent any conspiracy from the Yin-Yang School.
Phantom Sound Box.
He wasn't in a hurry to get it.
Anyway, you can't escape in the Mohist forbidden area.
But considering that in the last trailer of the original work, an old man appeared in the illusion inside the Fantasy Sound Box.
Suspected to be the founder of Mohism.
He really wanted to ask Master Mozi if he knew some secrets of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon.
The six-fingered black hero placed the ink eyebrow, a symbol of the Mohist master's token, horizontally in front of him to show his solemnity.
"I came to Xianyang for both official and personal matters."
When the leader of the heroes, Tian Guang, saw the Six-Fingered Black Knight like this, he couldn't help but straighten his body.
"What is public? What is private?"
In fact, he didn't want to ask, but the Six-Fingered Black Knight was staring at him, making him at a loss as to how to start.
The six-fingered black hero said slowly: "The world is for the public, and I am for my own."
Cheng Jiao stopped drinking tea and slowly placed his hand on the table.
Such a great master of Mohism deserves his careful listening.
Master Ban admired it in his heart.
Back then, he had thought about competing with Liuzhi for the position of the giant, but the truth was that apart from the art of mechanical engineering, he was inferior to Liuzhi in every other aspect.
Therefore, he was convinced that the new roaming leader Lu Gou Jian handed over Mo Mei to Liu Zhi.
The essence of Mohism is always put into practice.
Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "The world is for the public, and the public comes first, and the private comes second. You worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and you enjoy yourself after the world enjoys itself. This makes Cheng Jiao ashamed."
The six-fingered black knight recited twice, "Worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and be happy about the world after you are happy about yourself."
He sighed and said, "I wonder which sage could say such a thing."
He had a certain understanding of Cheng Jiao, who was wise and capable.
But some words have their own realm.
Without a certain level of self-cultivation and compassion, it would be impossible to express it.
But Cheng Jiao, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, does not think he is such a person.
The saying "seeing a person's face through his writing" and "knowing a person by his words" is all like this.
Cheng Jiao was not angry when he saw that the Six-Fingered Black Knight was certain that he did not say that.
After all, it wasn't what I said. If I force myself to be cool, I'll probably end up looking like an idiot.
The six-fingered Black Knight and the knight leader Tian Guang were both moved after listening to Wan Qiu's magically modified version of the Spring and Autumn Annals of Fan Zhongyan.
Some people, even if they do not belong to the same time and space and are infinitely far away from each other, are still in front of us.
For the Six-Fingered Black Knight, he is a confidant who transcends the long river of time.
"The Qin Palace's esoteric library is indeed filled with numerous ancient books. Even the events of such a small country long ago are recorded there." Tian Guang exclaimed.
Although the agricultural tradition is said to have been passed down from Emperor Yan and has a long history, there are not many things recorded in the books, and most of them are related to agriculture and sericulture.
Cheng Jiao looked at the upright and clear-eyed Tian Guang and found it difficult to compare him with the later Tian Guang.
Those who can be on friendly terms with the Six-Fingered Black Knight and be recognized by the Six-Fingered Black Knight are definitely not sinister villains, but mostly chivalrous people.
It's hard for him to say who is right or wrong.
All we can say is that future generations will judge everything.
"I saw it by accident when I was young, and I wrote it down. Unfortunately, when I wanted to read it again, it had been swept away as useless."
Cheng Jiao made a patch to save the two guys from having to read the original version, which he couldn't find anywhere.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight's tone could not hide his disappointment.
"It's a pity, it's a pity."
Tian Guang said generously: "Brother Liuzhi, don't feel sorry. We already know about it. Just record it in the book."
The six-fingered black knight nodded and said, "Brother Tian Guang is right.
As for being discarded as useless, it is not a pity.
Maybe being useless is useful.
Everything the founder did back then seemed useless.
But it is because of the founder's unswerving practice and his spirit that the Mohists have been convinced for hundreds of years that one day the world will be at peace. "
At this moment, Cheng Jiao suddenly understood something.
Look, there is light in his eyes.
Even under the cloak, one could still clearly see the bright light in the Six-Fingered Black Knight's eyes.
It is not the brilliance of a warrior, but the sunshine of faith.
Tian Guang kept nodding his head. No wonder the Six-Fingered Black Knight was praised so highly in the martial arts world.
This made him, a chivalrous leader of the same level as Liuzhi, feel a little ashamed.
"Brother Liuzhi has a broad mind. I admire him and would like to contribute to the world."
The six-fingered black hero said in a deep voice: "There is indeed one thing that I need the help of Xia Kui."
The reason why he came to Xianyang was that he knew that the leader of the peasant family heroes was not in Daze Mountain, but in Xianyang like Cheng Jiao.
He and his classmate drove the mechanical Suzaku, passed through Qin State, and came to Xianyang.
Tian Guang's heart trembled.
My first reaction was, could this be a trap set by the Six-Fingered Black Knight?
"You can say whatever you want, as long as I can do it."
The Six-Fingered Black Knight seemed not to hear the change in Tian Guang's tone.
"The farming tradition has been passed down from Emperor Yan, and our farming techniques are the best in the world. I have an unwelcome request, and I hope Xia Kui can give me some high-yield seeds."
Tian Guang heard about this.
"Just some seeds?"
The six-fingered black warrior nodded: "Yes, wheat, millet, corn, potatoes, etc."
Tian Guangmu was stunned: "I know wheat and millet, but what are corn and potatoes?"
The Six-Fingered Black Knight subconsciously looked at Cheng Jiao.
Cheng Jiao was also puzzled.
In Qin's Moon, there are corn machine guns at dawn, mapo tofu and hot and sour potato shreds fried by Pao Ding, but how come the farmers who claim to nourish all things on earth have never heard of them.
Isn't it just a different name?
Cheng Jiao whispered a few words to Ali.
After a while, Ali brought over a piece of exquisite snow-white gauze paper, as well as a writing brush and inkstone.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight and Tian Guang were both staring at what Cheng Jiao had described.
The more Tian Guang looked, the more familiar he felt.
"Are these corn and potatoes?"
When Cheng Jiao heard it, he realized it was indeed a matter of address.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight was excited. Cheng Jiao said that this was something that could change the world.
"It is this thing, would you be willing to give up a part of it?"
Tian Guang pondered and said, "It is absolutely necessary. Can you please solve my doubts first?"
The six-fingered black hero simply repeated what Cheng Jiao had said at the beginning.
The more Tian Guang listened, the deeper his frown deepened, and he chose his words carefully.
"Brother Liuzhi, have you been deceived?"
Cheng Jiao grinned. He and the Six-Fingered Black Knight were talking about the yield of potatoes and corn in future generations with the use of chemical fertilizers.
The six-fingered black warrior looked at Cheng Jiao, "Sir, this..."
Tian Guangming realized that it was Cheng Jiao who said that...
"Well, Brother Liuzhi, you don't know, this thing does exist, and the farmers only saw it from outside the Great Wall and introduced it not long ago.
The yield is much higher than that of ordinary wheat and millet, but only about a hundred kilograms more.
Most importantly, according to farmers’ experience, this plant consumes a lot of soil energy, and it can only be planted once a year. Any more will damage the land.”
After hearing this, Cheng Jiao was not disappointed.
It was already a pleasant surprise to have it. If its potential had been discovered, it would have spread all over the world long ago, and he wouldn't have to trick the Six-Fingered Black Knight into looking for it.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight pondered and remembered that when he was in Xinzheng, Cheng Jiao pointed out a peach tree to him. There were only a few sparse, sour peaches on the tree that looked cold and miserable.
"energy."
The Six-Fingered Black Knight muttered to himself.
Tian Guang didn't know what the Six-Fingered Black Knight was talking about.
Then he said: "Brother Liuzhi, don't hold out too much hope. Farmers also hope that the people of the world can grow more food.
The reason why farmers grow 20% to 30% more grain per mu than ordinary people is not only because of seeds, but also because of the farmers' hundreds of years of planting experience, careful care, and sufficient water and fertilizer. In addition, without taxation, it is difficult to promote this to the world. "
What Tian Guang didn’t say was that it all depends on whether God will give him face.
Diseases, pests, extreme weather, etc. will all reduce food production.
If it’s really as good as what the Six-Fingered Black Knight said.
The farmers must have become popular long ago and are surrounded by heavy troops from the seven countries.
Do you really think that the Nong family doesn't have spies or traitors from other forces?
Cheng Jiao's mind was moved: "I wonder if the hero could give me a copy of the scroll about the way of planting."
Tian Guang smiled and said, "Does Lord Chang'an want to present it to the King of Qin?"
Cheng Jiao knew that this matter could not be concealed: "That's right, as long as it can help the people of the world avoid detours and get more food, the hero has any request, just tell me."
Good technology is valuable at all times.
Being able to increase Qin's grain output by half is an extremely huge number.
Tian Guang sighed and said, "It is a blessing for the people of Qin to have wise ministers like Chang'an Jun and Changping Jun. I have already given Changping Jun a copy of the planting technique, which I hope will be of some help to the people of Qin."
Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes. Changping Jun acted quickly enough.
The most advantageous aspect of farmers to the Qin State is planting.
It seems that Changping Jun made a lot of plans in order to take down Lu Buwei.
It's no pity for him.
He doesn't care about the credit.
As long as he wants, he can come up with a lot of good things that Changping Jun can't come up with no matter how hard he tries.
He is still very generous to his future father-in-law and doesn't care about these things.
But in Tian Guang's opinion, Cheng Jiao, with his narrowed eyes, was expressing his dissatisfaction with him.
He has already placed his bet on Changping Jun, so it is impossible for him to hand over such a precious thing to Cheng Jiao at this time.
But it doesn't matter, he still has a trick up his sleeve...
