Chu Kuan hadn't experienced such frustration for a long time. And this kind of frustration is not the so-called can't be beaten, can't fight, after all, according to the current situation, even if Ah Liu can fight again, he is just a person, and the royal attendants outside are also because they didn't get his orders, so they didn't rush in.

However, Zhang Shou said everything from what he had just said to what he was doing now, all kinds of words and deeds were unexpected, and Zhu Jing, the Duke of Zhao Guo, said something that shook him next to him, even if he only had a little doubt about his own ruinous move, it was also the biggest success of this difficult Weng son-in-law.

However, since he had already analyzed some things to Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing clearly, Chu Kuan would certainly not back down. A person like Zhu Jing speaks and acts steadily like a civil official, and he doesn't have to worry that people will spread all over the world with a big mouth. If he hadn't forcibly asked to see Zhang Shou, maybe Zhu Jing would have to think about the emperor for a long time before he selectively revealed some of his words.

But everything has been done, and he never regrets what he has done. In addition, now that all kinds of wishes have been made one by one, and the biggest scourge has been eradicated one by one, he can't talk about much concern, since life and death are all put aside, it doesn't matter if the crime should be killed, what else does he have to hesitate?

Therefore, Chu Kuan took two steps back, and when he saw that Ah Liu had also retreated in front of Zhang Shou, he said lightly: "Master Zhang may be right, I should indeed learn it." However, a Jiuzhangtang is so difficult, and a public school has attracted countless attacks, and your new school initiative has caused such a huge backlash, you feel that there is no end to learning, but the world of Confucianism can drown you! ”

"Legend has it that in the early years of Taizu, there were government-run pharmacies and doctors in the world to ensure that the poor who had no money could be treated; There are countless official and righteous schools in the world, which can enable poor children to study; There are countless government-run charity halls in the world, so that there will be no more abandoned children who die of cold and starvation, and all cruel parents who are born without doing so, or drowned or buried alive, will all be severely punished......"

And all of this was only possible because after the expulsion of the Tartars, the government hoarded a large amount of ownerless land to distribute to the poor, and collected countless wealth as a backup. Nowadays, the world has been peaceful for a long time, even though there have been two major changes from the outside in, but only a group of former high-ranking officials and powerful ministers have been purged, and those gentry and landlords who are entrenched in various places are still getting richer and richer. ”

Although Zhang Shou was helped up by Ah Liu, listening to Chu Kuan's words at this time, he couldn't help but have a toothache. It seems that Chu Kuan's illness is more serious than expected, this can't be pulled back?

And just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he heard the deep voice of his father-in-law.

"Emperor Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored the world's clothes, it is indeed a rare Ming monarch and sage in ancient and modern times, but how can you be sure that the so-called scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment at that time was really as you say now? The historian's Spring and Autumn brushwork has been the same throughout the ages, especially when whitewashing the Holy Monarch and the Lord, it is even more extreme! ”

Just like in the "Old Tang Book", it was good to mention Tang Taizong, and in the "New Tang Book", he didn't even mention his evil deeds of killing his brother. This is still the Song people writing the history of the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang people wrote the history of the Tang Dynasty, and even the history of the Sui Dynasty, isn't it even more ridiculous? ”

Chu Kuan didn't expect that Zhu Jing, who was usually regarded as an admirer of Emperor Taizu, would suddenly refute himself like this, and after being stunned for a moment, he suddenly became furious: "What does it mean to whitewash the Holy Monarch, Zhu Jing, you dare to be so rebellious!" How can my Chao Taizu be on a par with Tang Taizong, who took credit for his own merits and kept saying that he had contributed to the siege of Yanmen? ”

Zhu Jing didn't flinch at all because of Chu Kuan's anger, but laughed unhurriedly.

"From the end of the Song Dynasty to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, for more than 100 years, there was first war in the world, then repeated civil strife in Mongolia and Yuan, exploitation of places, and finally war in the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, do you know how many people have been lost, and how many people have been displaced? There are so many ownerless fields in the world, do you know how much wasteland, and to reclaim these wastelands, how much manpower will be spent, how many people will be relocated, and how many people will die on the road because of this? ”

When Zhang Shou heard Zhu Jing talk about war, population, and migration, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Many people talk about which dynasty and which generation founded the country, they will praise the vitality and high morale, as if there will be prosperity and prosperity only with a fighting spirit, but they have forgotten that no matter the Han Sui Dynasty, no matter the Song and Ming dynasties, in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were not so many songs and dances at all, because the world was initially decided, it was not easy to eat a full meal, and the increasing abundance of the warehouse was the sacrifice of many people.

For example, the great migration mentioned by Zhu Jing, in terms of the homeland in the bones of ordinary people, there are a few people who are willing to migrate, especially from north to south, from south to north, this kind of cross-regional mass flow is simply impossible. As for the administrative forced migration, once there is a problem in the supply and dispatch of materials, how many people will die on the road?

The most important thing is that the people in the early Ming Dynasty, what beliefs and fighting spirit did they have?

How many of them are willing to sacrifice for the imperial court's major policies? It can't be said that Emperor Taizu learned from Zhu Yuanzhang, in the face of ten rooms and nine emptiness in the world, no matter which dynasty, without large-scale population migration, how to carry out construction?

Once the population of the north and the south is violently unbalanced, then the number of people in the imperial examination will continue to be unbalanced, so just like the quota of the provinces for university admission in later generations, in this year, the quota of the township examination, that is, the number of people lifted, is also the quota stipulated by each province, and when the final general examination and the palace examination are admitted, the north and south will also be considered in a balanced manner.

After a while, Zhang Shou realized that he was thinking far, but he couldn't help but say softly: "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering." ”

Zhang Shou and Zhu Jing sang and harmonized like this, and Chu Kuan's face inevitably became hideous: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, how can you slander the Ming monarch because of the complaints of fools and foolish women?" ”

Zhu Jing didn't pay attention to Chu Kuan, he didn't even give Zhang Shou a chance to steal the conversation again, and continued to speak lightly.

"As for the doctors and pharmacies you mentioned, at that time, the world was decided, all kinds of waste were prosperous, and there were few good doctors, and the so-called custom of Xinglin was to cherish themselves with brooms, even if they were ordered to accept apprentices and professors, many people were also acting like this. Therefore, many so-called healers are just scholars who can recognize a few words with a medical book and pretend to give people a pulse, but in fact they don't know how to see a doctor at all. ”

"I can't even feel the pulse, of course, treating diseases is quack, and as for prescribing prescriptions, it is even more like painting a gourd and copying it. But if this is the case, it will be possible to hit the luck of the dozens of people, and several people will be cured. However, if you think about it with your own brain, the world has been decided, and the taxes have not yet had time to collect a few dollars, where does the imperial court have the money to hoard medicinal herbs? ”

"Do you know how many crude medicine shops in the world were destroyed at that time because of this doctor and pharmacy system, and do you know how many good families in the world used to give up porridge and rice and collect less tenant rent at that time, so their families were ruined because they were forced to lose medicinal herbs? Aren't all gentry in the world eating people and not spitting out bones, just escaped the war and were so swept away by some officials, what is their way to live? ”

"Also, do you know how many of those schools teach the textbooks prescribed by Emperor Taizu, rather than the sage doctrine? Because there are not enough teachers in the world to read those textbooks! Do you know how many of the so-called good churches are actually hiding filth and dirt, and even buying and selling babies? A good system also needs someone to implement it! ”

"Do you know that in order to deal with the so-called ban on not having children, how many parents who can't afford to raise their children directly dig pits in their own houses and bury their children alive? Do you know how much of the court subsidies that should have been given to families with more than five children were deducted from the hands of some corrupt officials? ”

"Emperor Taizu has killed a lot of people for this, but it is said that people in the world are afraid of power but not virtue, but you know that even if the punishment is suppressed, it can be ten times more profitable, but some people are not afraid of death! And how many Confucian scholars who think they are right in their minds are willing to die in order to defend the so-called sage doctrine and fight against the so-called heresy! ”

"Emperor Taizu finally woke up to the fact that he couldn't rush for quick success, so he abdicated! Wake up, whether it is the Taizu period or the current era of praise and praise in the history books, all of them are just beautiful words! There is as much light as there is darkness! ”

"And like you, using intrigues to kill, using these sneaky tricks, if you want to make an era better, it is absolutely impossible!"

"I don't want to say anything about the empty words of governing a big country such as cooking Xiaoxian, I just want to say that from ancient times to the present, all dynasties and dynasties have been forging ahead at the time of the founding of the country, and then the disadvantages have deepened. At the end of the dynasty, it was never a faint monarch and a traitor covering the sky with one hand, but a gentleman who was drunk and dreamed of death, and the people did not care about life and death. ”

"But that's not the time yet. Watching the world, not only the few servants in the palace are doing it, I am also doing what I am ordered, and more people are also quietly paying attention, as long as the upper and lower can know, it will not fall into that kind of result. And now, the emperor has appointed the three princes as the crown prince, and he is a studious but resolute prince, no matter from which point of view, you don't need to be hollow! ”

"If you still want to say that the weapons drawings in the Ordnance Bureau are not properly kept, and even the magic weapons are in danger of being lost, who is playing behind the conspiracy and trickery, in order to let the imperial court fight less wars, open up less territory, and the military ministers can keep to themselves, and the civil ministers can hold great power, then what I want to say is that you have put the role of the so-called conspiracy too much."

"Even if there are really no drawings in the Ordnance Bureau, there are probably drafts elsewhere. And craftsmen who are proficient in assembly will not be really helpless just because there is one less. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, just like Zhang Shou can make so many things with a young craftsman who has not yet graduated, and even made people get the name of a great craftsman, is there no more such skilled craftsmen in the world? ”

"You are the emperor's henchman, but the emperor is not the only confidant! Just as I am certainly a good general, but there are better generals in the world than me, there were in the past, and there will be no less in the future. There has never been a shortage of capable people in the world! ”

All the things that should be said were rushed by Zhu Jing's father-in-law, Zhang Shou felt very satisfied, and because of this moment's relaxation, he couldn't help but muttered softly: "No matter who is missing, the earth will still turn the same." ”

But the moment the words just came out, he suddenly felt a chill rushing to his face, but then, a flower in front of his eyes, and then he looked at it, it was Ah Liu who was directly in front of him, and the young man used his fists and feet to block Chu Kuan who rushed over.

However, instead of being frustrated, the latter laughed and said: "Sure enough, Master Zhang, you also know that the earth under your feet is round, and you dare to say that you are not born to know it?" ”

"What's the matter, Emperor Taizu once left the earth circle?" Zhang Shou had already broken the jar, but instead of showing a little fear at this time, he smiled and said, "I have long told the students that the earth is round, and I once said that the stars in the sky will turn...... It's not something you are born knowing, it's just a truth that comes from practical observation. ”

And these truths, which seem to have nothing to do with the actual situation, are the cornerstone of the improvement of things like the loom spinning wheel, which is called knowing what it is, and then knowing why it is. Therefore, Gonggong Chu, it is completely unnecessary for you to persistently pursue whether there is a second Emperor Taizu in the world. ”

"The wise and martial Emperor Taizu has still run into a wall in the face of reality, let alone other people who are not as good as him?"

"You expect me to draw you a bunch of drawings of the magic weapon with a stroke of my brain? If I had the ability, wouldn't it be good for me to find a small country in the middle of nowhere to make these things and dominate them? Still bothering to take so many students? ”

Chu Kuan coldly looked at Zhang Shou, who was close at hand and within reach, but couldn't do anything to him because of a Ah Liu, his eyes narrowed, and finally laughed: "It seems that Master Zhang, you are the kind of person who refuses to show his flaws even if he is cornered." Although you are the teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you are also a person that the emperor values very much, and you are more likely to be the emperor's son-in-law, but ......"

"Since you don't admit that you are a person who was born to know like Emperor Taizu, and you refuse to translate those Taizu Codex in the ancient and modern Tongji Library, let alone restore those divine weapons in the Ordnance Bureau that are likely to be lost from generation to generation, then, if a person like you stays in the world, it may be as gentle and harmless as the cannon that Ah Liu used just now, but ......"

"But it can also become a great evil in the world, and the legacy is endless!"

As soon as the words fell, he shouted: "Listen to it all for me, release the rocket!" ”

Zhu Jingdeng's face changed drastically, especially when he saw Ah Liu rushing up and fighting with people almost instantly, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "You are crazy, you can't run yourself with a rocket in such a narrow place!" ”

"Zhao Guogong, I have told you so many things, I never thought I would be able to live." Although he was the most difficult opponent in front of him, Chu Kuan was still laughing, and although the words he said were intermittent, he still spoke clearly, "You are all people who speak their word, so as long as you agree just now, I can refuse to apologize on the spot, but unfortunately, you two sons-in-law are too gentlemanly." ”

"I don't even care about hypocrisy and deceitful snakes, and lie to me. In that case, let's die together. The sores that have rotted away, I either peel them off or burn them with fire, let them reappear, and then calmly heal them. And Mr. Zhang, I don't know if it's a good or bad sore, if I let it go like this, it really goes against the purpose of my life. ”

"Since Zhao Guogong is defending it with all your might, then I have to say I'm sorry!"
