The 43,000 slaves bought from Murong Shun were divided up by three people in this way. This made Li Yin deeply understand the shortage of human resources in Yizhou. But now that he has gone to the sea, all these problems will be solved. He might as well take the old western way to plunder the population, but the West used to plunder the population of the East, but Li Yin can completely reverse Do it the way you want.
With such a plan in mind, Li Yin was going to make corresponding plans, but at this time two old friends found him, but it was Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Since Li Yin established a Taoist temple for them in Qingcheng Mountain, the two have devoted themselves to cultivating Taoism Li Chunfeng focused on astronomy, and the two of them did not appear in Yizhou City for a long time.
Speaking of it, Li Yin was deliberately forgetting these two people, after all, the picture shocked him too much, which made him suddenly have an inexplicable fear of metaphysics, because he has always been unwilling to believe in the destiny of man .
"Yuan Daochang, Li Daochang, long time no see." After learning that the two asked to see each other, Li Yin received them in the study of the palace.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng bowed to Li Yin, Yuan Tiangang said: "It is true that we haven't seen each other for a long time, Your Highness is getting more and more handsome now."
Li Yin chuckled and said, "I didn't expect Daoist Yuan to be more and more talkative now. What have the two Daoist priests been busy with for so long? They didn't come to Yizhou for a sit-down."
The two looked at each other, both hesitated, after a moment of silence, Li Chunfeng sighed, and said: "The poor Taoist is here to plead guilty to His Highness."
"Apology?" Li Yin asked a little strangely: "Why do you say that, what are the two Taoist priests guilty of?"
Yuan Tiangang said: "Since His Royal Highness gave us the telescope, we have realized that we are children at the bottom of the well. The sun, moon and stars are not what our Taoists imagined. Presumably His Highness has known this for a long time, so he gave this astronomical telescope to us." Come on, debunk this astrological prediction."
"After observing the moon and stars with this telescope, we realized that today is true and yesterday was not. There is no evidence of Chang'e on the moon." Li Chunfeng took over the words.
The faces of the two were slumped, as if they had suffered a huge mental blow, and they were talking separately. Li Yin understood what they meant. It seemed that the astronomical telescope made them understand that some stars in the sky were not as mysterious as he imagined.
Now that they have such an understanding, Li Yin said: "What kind of discoveries have the two priests made now?"
Li Chunfeng is more proficient in this field than Yuan Tiangang. He said: "We found that the place we live revolves around the sun, and the sun, moon and stars do not revolve around us."
"It seems that Li Daochang has indeed made a big discovery." Li Yin was a little surprised. The astronomical telescope is indeed very useful, and they have already realized this. "In this case, I will show you the same thing. .”
After finishing speaking, Li Yin called Liu Yanyu. Now Li Yin has asked her to come over to be his royal maid, and it is her job to serve him tea and water, "Go to Rongda and ask him to bring that ball-like thing from the warehouse."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Liu Yanyu replied with a crisp voice.
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang both looked forward to hearing the words. The king of Shu made them more and more puzzled, and they also understood that some things seemed to be impossible to hide from Li Yin.
"Your Highness, when you gave us the astronomical telescope, you probably already understood that the astrology forecast is just fake." After Liu Yanyu went out, Li Yin was surprised by what Yuan Tiangang said, and Yuan Tiangang actually admitted the astrology forecast If it is false, then how to explain Yuan Shoucheng's prediction and the picture that has been circulated for thousands of years.
Li Yin's face was solemn, and the picture Yuan Tiangang gave him was a nightmare he could never get rid of. If everything is true, then he has to make corresponding arrangements, "Why did Daoist Yuan say that?" Li Yin's tone was very bad.
Looking at each other, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng stood up and knelt down in front of Li Yin, "Your Highness, we came here today to make an apology, and we hesitated for a long time before deciding to reveal this secret."
Li Yan's expression softened slightly, and he said: "Two priests, please stand up, and you can speak up if you have something to say."
"Actually, we didn't use astrology prediction to predict anything. The reason why we can predict the future is because of this booklet left by uncle Yuan Shoucheng." Yuan Tiangang took out a yellowed parchment from his arms at this time The booklet made, "Please read it, Your Highness."
"Is this written by Yuan Shoucheng himself?" Li Yin's hand holding the booklet trembled violently. If this is true, then everything can be explained.
"Exactly, my uncle said before he died that this booklet alone can keep my name through the ages. He told us that if we can't use the astrology to predict, we will give the prediction result according to what is written in this booklet." Yuan Tiangang said.
Li Chunfeng nodded at this time: "After observing the stars with His Highness's astronomical telescope, we understand that this matter cannot be hidden from His Highness."
Li Yin's heart was overwhelmed at this time, he still didn't understand, so he said: "Then your talking to yourself by the Baihuatan Lake is also intentional?"
Yuan Tiangang showed a look of shame, "It is precisely because Pindao found out that someone was following around and snooping, so he said those words on purpose."
"And I asked Master to come to Yizhou not because I understood the secrets of heaven, but because I just read Master's album, because I guessed that the person in the picture is His Highness, because many things written by the Patriarch in the book are the same as those made by His Highness." At that time, I thought it was the best choice to seek refuge with His Highness, so I used the excuse to deduce the secret and asked Master to go back to Yizhou with me. We understand the truth." Li Chunfeng said eloquently.
After reading a scroll of parchment by Li Yin, Li Yin's heart was at peace like never before. For him, this incident was not unacceptable, and his experience was enough to shock the world.
"Have you read the last few pages?" On the last few pages, Yuan Shoucheng drew some messy images and some fragmentary explanations, which were somewhat similar to the last few pages of those pictures, and seemed to be drawn in a hurry .
Yuan Tiangang said: "Look, this is exactly what my uncle drew before he died. He also said that China will never die, so that Pindao can hand over the album to the person who painted it in the future, just because he said I was in a hurry, and went without telling who it was. After arriving in Yizhou, Chunfeng mentioned His Highness, and I suddenly realized, so I took the opportunity to give the picture to His Highness."
Li Chunfeng also nodded in cooperation at this time, "I hope His Highness will not be offended."
Taking a deep breath, Li Yin suddenly laughed. The pressure that those pictures had caused him all the time disappeared in an instant, and his mood seemed to be clear, "Don't kneel down, get up!", Li Yin said peacefully.
"Don't His Highness blame us?" Yuan Tiangang said.
"There's nothing to blame, it's not that you, the king, can't understand so many things, right?" Li Yin is in a good mood now, because all his doubts have been resolved, and it turns out that everything is not so mysterious, "Now that you understand This astrology prediction is not so powerful, so how can I cultivate in the future?"
Yuan Tiangang said: "Your Highness is wrong. Although Pindao has gained fame by using what his uncle left behind in physiognomy and forecasting, his knowledge of Taoism is extensive and profound, and there are still some things worth studying. From now on, Pindao will continue to study Taoism. It’s just that I won’t use the things in the picture book anymore, and as for the young student Chunfeng, I still hope that His Highness can continue to support him in studying astronomical phenomena.”
Nodded, Li Yin said: "That's natural. I still have some astronomy books here. I will send someone to send them to you in a few days. I hope you can study hard at Qingcheng Taoist Temple."
Li Chunfeng said happily: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
The three of them were talking, Liu Yanyu had already walked over with a globe in his arms, Li Yin took the globe and put it on the table, saying: "This is the planet we live in now, called Earth,"
When the two of them saw the globe, they came over to observe it carefully. Although they understood a little bit, they still didn't know anything about the planet they lived on.
Li Yan was relieved of his heart disease and was in a good mood, so he was ready to teach the two of them a lesson, "This world is not a round place, and we don't live on the back of a turtle, but on one of countless stars..."
The two listened to each other, and Li Yin was spitting and frothing, and after a while of the teacher's silence, looking at the two legendary Taoists who were like elementary school students, Li Yin was very happy, because he not only made them respect him very much, but also understood him. Learn why there is the "Tui Bei Tu" that has been passed down through the ages, and why Yuan Tiangang can predict that Wu Zetian will become the future emperor.
After speaking for an hour, Li Yin was also thirsty. He said: "That's all I know, I will give this globe to you, master and apprentice. Remember to study hard when you go back. In the future, I will study in the university. Open up a new course of astronomy, then I'm afraid I will have to invite two teachers to come over."
Li Yin's words made both of them look happy. After thanking Li Yin, the two stopped staying. Their goal had been achieved, and they left the palace after bidding farewell to the master and apprentice.
After they left, Li Yin took out a piece of very smooth cardboard from the sheepskin book, and there were a few words on the paper. Looking at these words, Li Yin frowned, "One A hundred years ago? That's nonsense."
