Chapter 2178 Crisis? Deal with him!
Yuan Tiangang was a little confused.
I have lived for more than a hundred years, and my fame has spread all over the world. I have been respected by countless princes, princes, ministers, merchants and servants in the world. Which one of them would not bow their head respectfully and bow to me when they see me?
He never thought that he would encounter someone who would not open his eyes today, which made him feel that he would have a sense of danger at any time if he disagreed...
Mother!
Why is this young man so aggressive?
But having said that, given his status and age, it is not an exaggeration to call him "Xuanling". Even if he is the Prime Minister, he must respect his elders, right? Relying on their past friendship, if Fang Xuanling were standing in front of him right now, she would obediently offer him tea and water for Yuan Tiangang.
However, it would be embarrassing if the bastard in front of him didn't recognize this friendship.
Indeed, it is disrespectful for his father's name to be mentioned by others. Even if the son goes up with a knife and fights for his life, others can't say anything. "The king, the king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son", this is the teaching of Confucius. As the saying goes, "the king is humiliated and his ministers die". If the father is humiliated, the son should fight for his life...
Yuan Tiangang had a gloomy look on his face and was very angry as he stared at the two mallets in front of him.
Then, I stopped talking...
His very peculiar pair of eyes stared fixedly at Fang Jun, from top to bottom, carefully, as if Fang Jun standing in front of him at this moment was a stunning beauty, his eyes were like lightning, and he vowed to turn this woman into a woman. I took off all my clothes one by one...
Fang Jun's heart beat, this is what he was afraid of!
What if this half-fairy sees something...
He quickly bowed slightly and said coldly: "At Taoist Master's age, I won't care about you, so I say goodbye."
After saying this, he turned around and left.
Cheng Chubi always followed Fang Jun and followed him closely.
Cheng Chuliang was a little anxious. We came here to seek medical treatment. Before we even met Sun Simiao, we provoked Yuan Tiangang, an outstanding person. What should we do about seeking medical treatment? But then I thought about it, today was Fang Jun's favor. If he offended Yuan Tiangang in order to do things for him, the consequences would be extremely unpredictable. Wouldn't it mean that he had harmed Fang Jun?
Although he was unwilling in his heart, he also knew that it was better to leave this place at this moment and could only come back to find Sun Simiao later.
He immediately bowed his head to the ground, bowed very respectfully, and said apologetically: "Don't be surprised, Master Yuan. Fang Erlang has an upright temperament. He must have never heard of the Taoist priest's name. It is understandable that he would be a little offended. I will take my leave for the time being and will take him forward later." Come and apologize in person.”
"Wait!"
Yuan Tiangang raised his hand and ignored Cheng Chuliang, saying: "Fang's son, please stay here for now. I have something unclear, please clarify."
Fang Jun had already walked to the door and sighed secretly when he heard the words. Sooner or later, he would have to go through this hurdle. Otherwise, how could he feel at ease with such a hidden danger?
He simply stood still and said to the Cheng brothers: "You two, please stay outside for a while. I have a few words to say to this Taoist priest."
Cheng Chubi nodded: "If anything happens, Erlang says hello and beat him up for being a coward!"
Cheng Chuliang's eyes darkened and he wished he could kick his younger brother to death. He quickly grabbed Cheng Chubi's arm and dragged him out...
inside the house.
Fang Jun felt anxious, so he walked up to Yuan Tiangang, knelt down and sat on the side of the shorter boy, and said, "I don't know what I can teach you?"
Yuan Tiangang raised his white eyebrows slightly, stared at Fang Jun with his bright eyes, and said slowly: "A few years ago, the old Taoist was traveling in Shu, and he received a letter from Chang'an, saying that there was a man in Chang'an who was good at magic and counting. Everyone is astonished that this talented young man can also write a song that will be sung by hundreds of people. An immortal masterpiece of poetry... What's especially important is that he mentioned the young man's appearance and even said he didn't understand it. He said that his destiny was contrary to destiny, which was contrary to common sense and could not be interpreted by the old disciple. , but Young Master Fang?”
Fang Jun was silent for a moment and said: "Maybe it's me. When I first met Taoist Priest Li Chunfeng, he mentioned that my face is rare in the world. I don't know Qimen Dunjia, let alone physiognomy and feng shui, but I do understand one thing. The truth is that it is reasonable when it exists. Therefore, I don’t know why your master and disciples all think that it is my appearance that is different, rather than your physiognomy. What about the shortcomings? If your physiognomy is not in line with nature, then it is naturally your problem. However, if it is because your physiognomy itself is defective and you cannot understand some aspects of the world, it will cause confusion to you or to people with the same physiognomy. , causing some troubles in terms of reputation and even personal safety, doesn’t the Taoist feel that it is against the law of heaven and feels guilty?”
You always think my appearance is strange and think it's my problem, but why don't you ever think it's you who are so strange?
There are many wonders in the world. Isn’t it nonsense to deny something just because you have never seen it?
Faced with Fang Jun's strong words, Yuan Tiangang frowned, murmured a few words in a low voice, and then said happily: "Existence is reasonable... This sentence is well said, and the old Taoist has been taught! The old Taoist admitted that what Mr. Fang said is true It makes some sense, but was it just a coincidence that it was the wind and rain on Lishan Mountain?"
He saw a certain possibility in Fang Jun's strange face, and when he thought of the story about praying for rain on Mount Li, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
He was quite aggressive. Unexpectedly, Fang Jun sneered and was about to speak when he saw the boy Taoist priest coming in carrying a huge kettle. He was too small and the kettle was too big. There was a layer of sweat on his forehead and his delicate face was flushed. So cute.
Putting the kettle on the table, the little Taoist wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said respectfully to Yuan Tiangang: "My disciple will prepare lunch for you. Please use it slowly."
Then he bowed his hands to Fang Jun as a gift, and then left the house in a polite manner.
Yuan Tiangang pointed to the teapot and said: "Please use tea."
Fang Jun was not polite. He picked up the kettle and poured the hot water into the teapot. After waiting for a while, he filled the teacup with tea. He pushed one cup in front of Yuan Tiangang, picked up the other cup and brought it to his lips. He took a sip, put it on the table, pointed at the tea cup and said: "If this cup of tea is left here like this, how will it change after a long time?"
Yuan Tiangang was picking up the teacup. Before he could drink the tea, he thought for a moment and said, "The teacup is still there, but the tea is dry."
Fang Jun looked at him and continued to ask: "So, where did the tea go?"
For Yuan Tiangang, who has lived for many years and has too much life experience, Fang Jun just asked a little and he understood what Fang Jun meant.
Because he understood, he was immediately stunned.
Recalling attentively, this kind of scene had appeared many times in his long life, but he had never noticed it, let alone thought about this seemingly ordinary situation.
No one drinks it, no one splashes it, so why does the water disappear?
But after all, he is a "half-immortal" who studies heaven and earth. Although he doesn't understand it, he has seen too much. After pondering for a long time, Yuan Tiangang tentatively said: "Zhuang Zhou once said that sunlight and wind can make water evaporate... Which book specifically? It is mentioned in the book that the old man cannot remember it, but he must have discussed it. ”
Fang Jun nodded.
The wisdom of our ancestors is not given in vain. Obviously, someone has discovered the phenomenon of evaporation a long time ago, but due to the lack and backwardness of natural science, no reasonable explanation has been given.
Fang Jun asked: "I will fill in the tidal flats in the south of the Yangtze River, set up salt fields, and divert seawater into the dam. The sea breeze and the scorching sun will evaporate the seawater and analyze the salt. Countless sea salts will be produced every day. This is the evaporation method used." The principle.”
Yuan Tiangang praised: "Master Fang's move has benefited all people and his name will go down in history."
Since ancient times, salt has been the top priority for the livelihood of all people. No one can live without salt. However, due to the extremely low production and inconvenient transportation of salt, and being used by various forces as a tool to make money, the price of salt remains high. Every day, salt prices remain high. There was war and the people were miserable.
And Fang Jun set up a salt farm in the south of the Yangtze River, and the daily exposure to sea water to obtain sea salt was an astronomical amount.
A large amount of sea salt poured into the inland areas, which not only made the salt circulating on the market several times more than before, but also cut the price of salt by half. Almost every household no longer has to worry about the unattainable price of salt. Fang Jun's name has long been due to this. It was spread all over the world and received countless praises.
People live for a long time. No matter what the situation is, they will inevitably have some feelings of compassion for heaven and earth, let alone Yuan Tiangang, who has practiced Taoism and done good deeds for his whole life.
Yuan Tiangang highly praised Fang Jun for this matter.
However, what does this have to do with Lishan praying for rain?
Fang Jun glanced at Yuan Tiangang and asked: "The Taoist priest said that my face is different and different from that of the world, so I have doubts. Then I came up with a method of drying salt that no one has thought of in more than a thousand years." , why doesn’t the Taoist think that I am different from the rest of the world?” (End of Chapter)
