Chapter 859: Untitled
"Is this the effect of this book?"
After arriving at the land of Qilu, Dayu did not go to find that person immediately; instead, he stayed in the villages, watching the bottom-tier commoners, under the guidance of some literate people, gradually learning some means of self-rescue.
And in this self-rescue book, there was also a method for tempering the physical body; although in his view, it was very superficial, Dayu felt that for ordinary commoners, this was the most suitable.
Of course, Dayu also discovered that most people were not interested in this method of tempering the physical body.
It was not that they didn't want to learn, but tempering the physical body required consuming more food, and the food of most bottom-tier commoners was very tight.
They simply didn't have any extra.
As for those powerful aristocrats, they had enough resources, but these people actually didn't lack this kind of method, and they looked down on it at all.
Only a few newly promoted merchants and some hunters had enough surplus food that could be used for cultivation.
This method of tempering the physical body was equal to giving them a hope; the status of merchants in Great Qin was very low, and those big merchants with deep foundations were fine.
Small merchants from small families had no channels.
So this method of tempering the physical body to become stronger was an opportunity; although the method was very superficial, for them, it was already enough.
As long as they cultivated and became stronger, they could join the army in the future, or join the government, and get better cultivation methods in the future.
Those hunters were also like this.
Dayu observed in different villages for a full few months.
During these few months, he personally saw that after many people caught a wind-cold, relying on the self-rescue methods in this medical book, 80% of them cured themselves and survived.
And what he paid most attention to was young children, especially regarding infants, and various preventive measures.
Those Confucian disciples were truly attentive; many Confucian disciples personally came to the villages, constantly thinking about the bottom-tier commoners, and tirelessly teaching them various measures in the medical book.
Confucian disciples performed very well this time.
Nonsense, Zhang Liang of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor gave the order; that was Zhang Liang, the Third Master of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor, and the closed-door disciple of Xunzi.
His status in the Little Sage Virtuous Manor went without saying.
The land of Qilu was the base camp of the Confucian school, and the status of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor in the Confucian school went without saying; naturally, after those masters of the Hundred Schools of Thought left.
In this area of the Confucian school, although there were many great scholars, Xunzi was absolutely a great elder of the Confucian school, a presence that was half a step away from being a Confucian sage.
So the status of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor in the Confucian school was very high; Zhang Liang, as the Third Master of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor, gave the order, so many disciples of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor naturally did not dare not to agree.
Not to mention, this matter itself was a good thing.
These people could also see the benefits within; first, they had read the content of the medical book and experimented with it, knowing it was true.
They taught the bottom-tier commoners, not only having the merit of education, but also teaching them to save themselves, saving countless lives, which also had merit and fortune.
So these Confucian disciples were not fools; with such benefits, how could they not do their best?
The Confucian school at this time was not the Confucian school of later generations.
The Confucian disciples at this time were not people who had no strength to truss a chicken.
Confucius traveled around the six states, promoting the path of the Confucian school, and when encountering some unreasonable people, they would also convince people with reason; this "reason" could be "reason" or "force."
Therefore, the Confucian disciples, each of them, not to say majestic, but their strength was not bad.
Crossing mountains and wading through water was a small matter for them.
It was also because of these Confucian disciples that in the land of Qilu, during these few months, the numbness originally in the eyes of the bottom-tier commoners in the villages had decreased a lot.
Although food was still a problem, the threat of illness was much less for them.
Illness was very common in these years.
And in the medical book, the measures to guide the prevention of illness could try to reduce illness, so they didn't need to worry about lacking labor in the family in the future because of illness.
And the Confucian school also entered the villages during these few months, which would make it even easier for them to preach and educate in the future.
"It's time to go and see."
Dayu walked through every village; the appearance of this medical book was a good thing for the bottom-tier commoners.
These bottom-tier commoners, especially young children, surviving more and more was naturally a good thing, but also a bad thing.
After all, with more children, the pressure on the family increased.
In the past, although every household had many children, in reality, not many survived.
Now, with preventive measures, these young children all survived, so there were more mouths to eat food.
Half-grown children eat their fathers poor.
Dayu also understood this point, but he had no way; this required the government.
Shaking his head, he left this place, and Dayu set off towards Donghai City.
After arriving at the land of Qilu, he was actually able to deduce some things, so he roughly deduced the address of that person, which was in Donghai City.
"Zifang!"
"You look a bit darker these days."
Su Fan said half-jokingly, and the latter rolled his eyes upon hearing this.
"Isn't it to help you spread these medical techniques? I personally went to the countryside."
Who was he, Zhang Liang? The Third Master of the Little Sage Virtuous Manor, and he himself was once an aristocrat of Korea.
The status of the Zhang family in Korea went without saying; they were absolutely big aristocrats.
Aristocratic disciples personally going to the countryside in this era was unheard of.
"Going to the countryside to experience, for you, Zifang, isn't it tempering the heart, which is good for your Dao cultivation?"
Su Fan responded with a smile.
"Humph!"
"Not to mention that this matter itself is a good thing; not only can it allow your Confucian education to have sufficient manifestation, but you also teach so many commoners, saving countless lives, and in the future, merit and fortune can be fed back steadily."
Zhang Liang did not refute upon hearing this; this was also a fact. Otherwise, how could so many Confucian disciples personally go to the countryside and be so attentive?
In this era, those who could read were not commoners; most were children of powerful families and aristocrats.
Of course, there were also poor disciples, but the share they occupied was still very, very small.
Those children of powerful families and aristocrats going to the countryside to teach those commoners was fundamentally impossible in the past.
But for the sake of the merit of education, these people indeed had some thoughts, whether it was utilitarian or otherwise.
They did it, which was beneficial to the Confucian school.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Zhang Liang, as a powerful being at the immortal level, naturally understood that the actions of the past half-year had visible benefits for both himself and the Confucian school.
First of all, he himself felt that cultivation seemed easier. ===== CHAPTER 860 =====
