Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 145 Immortal Pill

Li Er was particularly curious about what request Zhao Han asked him to agree to him?
Li Er asked Zhao Han: "Xiaohan, tell me what you have to promise me? If it's not particularly difficult, I can promise you."

"It's not a big deal." Zhao Han said, "It's just that I have my own fiefdom? I want to find my own Xingyang Village. I want to open a school in Xingyang Village. I want to teach the way of science. In the future I will also teach other people the way of science in other places in the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the bottom line of those great scholars will be touched. At that time, they will definitely put pressure on you and let your majesty punish me. At that time, your majesty, you have to stand with me Here."

Li Er has also heard some rumors recently. After all, these things that Zhao Han brought out have a great effect on Datang. Fine salt changed the situation that people in Datang could not afford salt, and high alcohol and electricity, especially electric lights. It appears that the electric light can make it the same as the daytime. This is a great temptation for the people of the Tang Dynasty. Coat, those great Confucians will definitely not be able to sit still.

Li Er knew that if those great Confucians knew, he would join forces with his family to suppress Zhao Han. After all, Zhao Han’s scientific way had already threatened those great Confucians. Li Er could not help Zhao Han blatantly, he could only help Zhao Han hold back They, as for the future, it depends on how Zhao Han handles them.

Li Er nodded to Zhao Han and said, "I agree with this matter, but I can only help you hold back their pressure. As for what to do in the future, it's up to you."

Seeing that Li Er agreed, Zhao Han didn't say anything else. Zhao Han had already thought of a solution to this matter, but it just took time. Now Li Er promised himself that if the Confucianism and the aristocratic family jointly put pressure on him, Li Er would give himself a solution. Press it down first, as long as you give yourself two years.

After talking about the business, Li Er and Zhao Han chatted about the auction, and Li Er asked Zhao Han: "Xiaohan, tell me which auction you are going to hold, and what is it like? I was curious about this auction before." meeting."

"Oh, okay." Zhao Han said: "In this auction, I will take out one thing, and then gather some people to bid for it. For example, this teacup, we both want it, so we will bid, whoever If the price is high, the cup will belong to whoever it is, it’s as simple as that.”

"Oh, I really don't know why you have so many crazy ideas in your mind, but what if someone else doesn't pay after the auction?" Li Er asked.

"It's simple." Zhao Han said: "Not everyone is qualified to come to this auction. I invite only the Dukes or first- and second-rank officials. These people are people with good face. If you don't pay for the auction, I think it will spread throughout Chang'an in less than a day, and he won't be given anything if he doesn't pay. Your Majesty, who do you think would be stupid enough to take pictures and not pay? You lose face and you can't get anything. I think Nobody would be that stupid, would they?"

Li Er nodded, indeed, they are all first- and second-rank officials, they would not do such a thing, but Li Er still asked curiously: "Xiao Han, there is something I don't understand, why do you have so many formulas?" Why don’t you do it yourself? I think the things you brought out are not available in the entire Tang Dynasty, and you love money so much, I don’t understand why you would give away the silver taels you got?”

Zhao Han explained: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is very simple, that is, the tree attracts the wind. I think you should understand what I mean, Your Majesty. I have been at odds with the aristocratic family, and now the Confucianism is also eyeing me. If I come up with these Formula, I think even Your Majesty, you will find a way to punish me? There is a saying that cutting people’s fortunes is like killing their parents. I can’t make multiple formulas by myself, so it’s better to sell them, and the people of Datang will benefit in the end, and those who buy my formulas will definitely ask me, and I won’t be alone.”

Li Er laughed a few times, patted Zhao Han on the shoulder and said: "Yes, I did not misunderstand you. If you enter the officialdom, you will have good grades. It's a pity that you don't want to be an official. Otherwise, I will pay you back." I really want to give you an official position, but since you don't like being an official, I won't force you, and you don't have to worry about the pressure from the aristocratic family and the great scholars all day long. People don't eat dry food, if they unite, the aristocratic family and the great Confucianists can't do anything to you."

Zhao Han nodded to show that he understood that Li Er was always in a good mood because he knew that Empress Changsun would recover soon, and the smile on his face never stopped. He chatted with Zhao Han about his past. When he said that he was still the King of Qin, Zhang Gonggong walked in with an old man in his 50s. The old man was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a dust whisk in his left hand and a sandalwood box in his right hand.

Eunuch Zhang walked up to Li Er with the Taoist priest and said: "Report to the emperor, the imperial decree has been drawn up, and the guards have sent it out. Daoist Li has something to ask His Majesty, so the old slave brought Daoist Li here."

Li Er saw Li Daochang coming over, and he was holding a small box in his hand, Li Er immediately became excited, because this was the elixir that Li Er ordered Li Daochang to refine, and he didn't expect it to be refined so soon.

In fact, in history, Li Er did not order the Taoist priest to refine the elixir until 20 years after he arrived in Zhenguan. Li Er ordered people to refine it in advance because he was influenced by Zhao Han, because Zhao Han was a disciple of the immortal, and Zhao Han still took out so many pills. Strange things, and Zhao Han's internal skills, this made Li Er firmly believe that there are immortals in this world, there are immortals, there are elixir, and if you eat the elixir, you can live forever, so Li Er ordered people to refine the alchemy immediately Medicine, this is how it came out.

Li Er happily asked Li Daochang: "Daoist, what you are holding in your hand is the elixir that I asked you to refine? Could it be that Daoist successfully refined it so quickly?"

Li Daochang looked like a master and said to Li Er: "That's right, Pindao has already refined this immortality pill, please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

"Good! Good! Good!" Li Er said happily: "I didn't expect Li Daochang to be refined so quickly. He really deserves to be a great disciple under the Immortal Seat. I will definitely reward you a lot. Let me see this longevity. What does the Immortal Pill look like?"

Li Er couldn't wait to take the box that Li Daochang handed over, and then Li Er opened the box, and saw more than a dozen silver pills in the box, Li Er took one out of the box and looked at it carefully, then handed it to Zhao Han and said: "Xiaohan, your master is also an immortal, you should have seen the elixir, how about the immortality elixir refined by Li Daochang?"
