According to Xu Mochen’s own understanding of Buddhism, it is a relatively compatible religious belief.
It is said that the human race mainly practices Buddhism, but according to legend, there are many aliens who have been listening to the Dharma for many years and became Buddhists.
Unexpectedly, the world of immortality has a similar background.
In other words, the Buddhist cultivation world covers a wide range of areas.
"Buddhism originally came from the world of immortality in a foreign country." Zhao Yuheng knew what happened. "When it was first introduced to China, it was not accepted by the world of immortality.
Therefore, it later became more relaxed and did not limit the source of entry, and it quickly developed.
Now it is one of the worlds in the ten directions and cannot be underestimated."
Xu Mochen understood and told Shen Zhining and others to have a good rest before returning to the imperial study.
Li Yihang and Zhao Yuheng also followed.
"Sir," Li Yihang stepped forward to ask for instructions, "this time I have brought back some folk forging and smelting craftsmen, would you like to meet them."
He and Zhao Yuheng followed Xu Mochen and also had official positions, but after all they were born as immortal cultivators, and their words and phrases followed the rules of the Shifang World.
Xu Mochen didn't mind either: "Of course we have to meet, it will be very important for us in the future."
A series of things have developed to this point, and Xu Mochen believes that the next step is to explore the issue of energy use.
In this era of the world, all that can be used is firewood, coal, water power, etc., which is far from what Xu Mochen wants.
For example, the oil, natural gas, atomic energy, etc. that he knows about have not yet been discovered.
But to discover and use these energy sources, mechanization must keep up.
Then you need electricity.
It's not bad to take a step back to steam engines, but Xu Mochen had already obtained a ring armature generator through Daoguo barter, so he thought it would be better to take it one step further.
Of course, the premise is that he needs to solve the problem of power generation.
If it really doesn’t work, then start from the steam era and advance step by step.
These people were arranged at the National Research Institute, and Xu Mochen planned to go there.
"Sir," Zhao Yuheng also made new progress, "Daqian Ningzhou Pharmaceutical Factory has initially entered production status. Currently, several drugs given by the research institute are being produced smoothly.
Schistosomiasis is very harmful in the south, so the supply of praziquantel is still concentrated. In addition, the country of Pulan has also purchased some, so it can be said that the supply exceeds demand."
Xu Mochen was very satisfied: "How is the acceptance of the people in Ningzhou and the south?"
"We used Nuo masters to promote it, and combined with the use of medicine, the people accepted it very well," Zhao Yuheng presented the memorial. "This is a secret letter written by Mr. Wang. I was afraid that it might not be reported through the imperial court, so I took it with me personally."< /p>
"You have to be so careful when doing things," Xu Mochen was very satisfied. He was worthy of being able to deal with Shen Changfeng in the first place. "You did it right. If you were to come up to the imperial court, I would not be able to see it."
Zhao Yuheng just smiled.
Xu Mochen opened it and looked at it. Wang Boan was also very meticulous in his work. He made a summary report on the recent events in Ningzhou, no matter how big or small.
As for medicines, they were initially free and now are provided for a fee.
However, the price is not high, and Wang Bo'an also introduced measures to barter for medicines and use labor for medicines to ensure that poor people can obtain medicines.
In this way, the Daqian Ningzhou Pharmaceutical Factory can be considered to be operating normally.
Even if Xu Mochen is the emperor, he can order corvee at will, but if he does it too much and for a long time, there will be a risk of national subjugation. 5
Xu Mochen knew about Sui Yang Emperor and his ilk.
The troubled times have just ended, and there are no foreign enemies to deal with urgently, so recuperation is the best policy.
"It's just that before leaving, Mr. Wang ordered," Zhao Yuheng reported, "Da Qian is still based on agriculture, so most of the people are currently persuading people to open up wasteland and exchange surplus grain."
Xu Mochen sighed: "Master Wang can be said to be a good minister."
The limitations of the times lie here. The survival and reproduction of ordinary people cannot be separated from agriculture, and farming is still the mainstay.
Craft skills
Business, trade, etc. all depend on having spare capacity.
Although Xu Mochen is determined to actively promote the development of industry and commerce, he knows that he cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"I will personally reply to Wang Bo'an and give him a reward," Xu Mochen was in a good mood, "What's the situation in Pulan country?"
"Sir, because they buy medicine, I have a good relationship with them," Zhao Yuheng confessed. "As the master expected, Western exotic countries such as Pulan seem to be better than Daqian in terms of natural technology and skills."
Xu Mochen's eyes flashed: "For example..."
"For example, they also have the injections that Young Master mentioned," Zhao Yuheng took out another piece of information. "It's just that the equipment and medicines are not comparable to those developed by Young Master.
But I learned that they were researched decades ago, and it is not clear how many immortal cultivators were involved.
In addition to medicine, there are also arithmetic, astronomy, alchemy, and miscellaneous things. I don’t understand them very well, so I recorded them all.”
Xu Mochen opened it, scanned it with his consciousness, and extracted all the information.
As expected, it was similar to what he had speculated. The natural sect was the mainstream in the world of immortality cultivation in foreign countries in the West.
In fact, it is the understanding of the natural world and the realization of the Tao.
And these insights, to put it bluntly, intersect with human technology in many places, thus indirectly promoting the development of human technology.
"It seems that they are not stingy with the loss of magic." Xu Mochen put down the information.
"What I understand is that the western foreign countries are not very large, so the human population is small," Zhao Yuheng said in his opinion, "immortal cultivators can only try to increase the quantity and quality of the human race in order to obtain more immortal fate, and Resources for refining gas."
Xu Mochen gritted his teeth: "But when they are strong enough, they may not focus on the fat men of other countries."
For example, this time, he blatantly wants to get involved in Daqian Ningzhou.
Zhao Yuheng remained silent about this.
Xu Mochen stood up. It seems that the promotion of the introduction of human technology is not only to fight for equal rights to speak when facing immortal cultivators, but also to be careful of the invasion of foreign countries.
Just...
"This time when you go back, I will find ways to formalize our trade," Xu Mochen ordered. "When the time comes, you can find some smart people and go to their country.
Some advanced techniques, etc., are all brought back."
"This..." Zhao Yuheng found it difficult, "I don't think they may be able to give it all."
"It doesn't matter," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "I just want to know what they have progressed and to what extent."
He is a time traveler from a more advanced era.
In the world of immortal cultivators, Xu Mochen has no choice about the magic of immortality.
But he feels confident about the human race.
What's more, there is Shen Zhining around, which is equivalent to a computer that can connect to the Internet.
Du Niang may not be able to give all valid and correct answers. Combined with Xu Mochen's knowledge and the wisdom and abilities of the human race and immortal cultivators in this era, he firmly believes that he can catch up and surpass them.
Zhao Yuheng also received satisfactory news here, and Xu Mochen was in a good mood: "Let's go to the research institute to meet the forging and smelting craftsmen."
