"Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the four major things that no one in the world can do without, and only by solving these four things can the world be regarded as truly rich."

And this kind of abundance is inseparable from the skilled officials who can select excellent seeds for promotion, the craftsmen who can transform agricultural tools to make them more efficient, the skilled women who can spread advanced textile technology, and the skilled craftsmen who can build beautiful houses and boats and carts. If it weren't for this, at the beginning of Emperor Taizu's accession to the throne, how could he hang the words "clothing, food, housing and transportation" on the screen of Fengtian Palace? ”

"Speaking of going back to the line, the track of the Qin Dynasty once allowed the Qin Dynasty to deploy troops and materials to all parts of the world at the fastest speed, and the Qin Straight Road is still a famous road in Shaanxi until now. And at that time, the reason why the world was able to establish counties instead of dividing the princes was not because of this convenient transportation, which gradually merged the world into one, and the government decrees were issued more smoothly? ”

"At present, this small boat seems to be just a small toy device that is not worth mentioning, but just like any foreign invasion, the first thing must be ensured is to ensure the way, how can we arbitrarily think that those small overseas foreign countries will not be like this boat, put wings on their own boats, and fly over the vast sea that seems to be a moat? Just because you can't do it now doesn't mean you can't in the future! ”

"The Xiongguan of one husband cannot completely block foreign enemies, and there have been too many examples of Xiongguan being broken in history. The river can't completely stop the iron hooves of the North Kou, because the big river will also freeze one day, and thousands of iron hooves will break through the ice, which has happened more than once. ”

"Maybe one day, the steel ships will be able to sail the vast seas, and the manned birds made of steel will be able to sail in the sky. What used to take a month or even months to travel would take only an hour or two. If such technology is in the hands of our dynasty, it will naturally be invincible, but if it is in the hands of others, will it not be a huge threat? ”

"Small countries and widows, at first glance it is not significant, but look at the ball and map just now, there is still a vast land in this world, if the king of a foreign country has the ambition to expand the territory, not limited to expanding the territory on land, but to focus on overseas."

"And then use a high reward to motivate those floating people who can't find a livelihood in their own country, or hairy boys who can't get ahead, so will anyone take risks for profit, go to sea to explore, and find a new continent? And once the fertile land is discovered, what will follow is a swarm of hornets armed to the extreme with strong ships and cannons, then, what about ten years, twenty years, one hundred and eighty years? ”

"I think that at the beginning, as a descendant of Yin Shang, Jizi was still able to establish a country in Korea, like the lord of a country, and although Guozuo was stolen by others, Goguryeo was also a great frontier disaster in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Although those foreigners in the West are poor, once they are greedy, they look at the country, encroach on those uninhabited lands, and desperately reproduce the population, then what will be the result? ”

"There will be a war between the Han and the Xiongnu, and there will be a war between the Tang and the Turks, just because there is no room for two great powers in the universe! And the Song and Khitan have been peaceful for many years, but it is not a special case, because both countries have lost their enterprising spirit, so they finally destroyed the country one after another, and the society does not exist! The rise and fall of a country is like sailing against the current, if there is no power, if you don't advance, you will retreat! ”

When Zhang Shou said the last four words, the third prince, who had been trying his best to make himself appear calm and unwavering, finally showed an excited flush on his face. He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to open his mouth to praise and agree, but his eyes looked at his father on the side.

I saw my father sitting on the throne as if nothing had happened, but the fingers of his hands were unconsciously rubbing gently, obviously not only listening, but also groaning and considering. As for whether it is a reward, the third prince can't see it, but he feels that the reason why he likes Zhang Shou, a teacher, is because people can see far.

The words of the sages in the classics of history are certainly worth learning, but people should not always look at the past, but also need to look at the future.

The world is so big, why is it that the talk of rise and fall is always on those small countries in the past, and it can't be all over the world?

Even if the Celestial Empire is in the middle of the world, all the states come to the court every year, but many of the so-called ten thousand states are just small barbaric countries with a small island, and they come from afar just to ask for some rewards, and Emperor Taizu scoffed at this.

What Zhang Shou just talked about was about some Western countries that also seemed to be small countries on the map, but listening to the tone of the Confucian scholars, it was clear that these countries were confused with those island countries in the vast sea in the south, but Zhang Shou did not think so.

They are also small countries, so why do those countries in the West seem to be completely different from those small countries in the South Seas? Is it more ambitious?

The third prince's heart turned a lot of various thoughts, but he was quickly awakened. Because after this moment of silence in the main hall, there was a sudden burst of applause. The applause seemed abrupt at first, but as someone joined in, one, two, three...... More than a dozen people gradually converged into a torrent that cannot be ignored.

He followed the prestige, and what he saw was Ge Yong and Qi Jingshan Chu Ying, who were relieved, Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen and others, Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, who were slightly bowed, and Zhu Er's father and son, Zhu Ying and a group of girls who were in high spirits, and the four princes who were excited, and the queen mother who gently stroked her palms, as if she was just a symbolic expression of appreciation.

Although these people could not occupy the absolute majority in the main hall, it was far less than Zhang Shou's reaction when he gave a lecture in the Guozijian that time, but the third prince was still happy all of a sudden.

The teacher is not alone in this world, there are many people who support him! Of course, this also includes......

The three princes' eyebrows fluttered, and then they joined the ranks of stroking their palms without hesitation. Seeing him join, the already gloomy face of the Confucius Scholar suddenly became even more frosty. But what made him even more angry was that Wu Ge Lao was also slapping with a smile on his face, which was particularly eye-catching among a group of high-ranking officials.

But he just scolded a sycophant in his stomach, but he heard applause around him again, and when he looked at it again, it was Lu Juan, it was Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Zhiyuan, the former soldier of the Ministry of Justice, who was specially summoned by the Son of Heaven today.

And in addition to them, there are also Chen Shangshu of the Household Department - a certain senior brother of Zhang Shou, a certain squire of the Criminal Department - Qi Jingshan's student, and even in the Metropolitan Procuratorate that has always opposed Zhang Shou the most fiercely, there are even a few "anti-thieves"!

At that moment, Confucius University scholars naturally thought that the general trend was gone, but that Zhang Shou was clever and bluffed, and now the general trend has been achieved! Sure enough, immediately following him, he saw that the emperor also raised his hand.

Just when he thought that the emperor was going to applaud his palm, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Zhang Shou, even if you have a lotus tongue, you can't cover your unknown background and suspicious teacher!" ”

Although he once counted on the eldest prince to share the pressure for himself, and counted on high-ranking officials and people like Confucius who had always been wary of Zhang Shou, but just now the eldest prince and Confucius scholar were counterattacked by Zhang Shou, and Zhang Shou's call was recognized by many people, and the second prince finally had to break the boat.

He didn't care what kind of knife-like gaze was stabbed in his face at this moment, including his father, Huo Ran got up and shouted with all his strength: "You rely on yourself and Zhu Ying, born on the same year, month and day as Yongping, spreading rumors, confusing your life experience, and plotting against you!" ”

"You are known as the closed disciple of Old Master Ge, but in fact, you have another teacher, otherwise a country boy, how can you know so many messy strange weapons and tricks, and how can you have the capital to swindle!"

"Zhang Shou, you are a liar, you deceived Zhu Ying with rhetoric, deceived Mrs. Ge, deceived you students, and deceived everyone! You don't want to be glorious and rich, fame and fortune, because what you want is bigger, what you want is the world of the Ming Dynasty! ”

If it is said that the second prince and the eldest prince have been in trouble one after another, plus the Confucian scholar, they just slightly mixed up the water in the pond of the Wenhua Hall Sutra Feast, then, at this time, the second prince's fierce rebuke is undoubtedly inserted into a pond of muddy water, and then it is added to the maximum power after the power is turned on, and I don't know how many people were stunned in an instant.

Even the emperor himself, the calmness of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and smiling at the wind and clouds before was gone, replaced by a haze. Although it has not yet reached the level of anger, as long as people who are familiar with him can see that this Son of Heaven is really angry - it's just that few people really noticed the face of the Son of Heaven at this time, because everyone was startled by the words of the second prince.

Although the rumors of Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping's life history have been circulating in the capital for a while, there will soon be news from the palace that Zhang Shou's biological mother, Widow Zhang, saved Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo in the former rebellion of the king, so there was the marriage contract between Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying.

The three children landed almost at the same time, such a coincidence can indeed make people think about it, but now that the second prince is making such a big statement in public, the questions that have been suppressed naturally floated in the hearts of many people.

However, the one who reacted faster than everyone was the oldest old man in the Wenhua Hall at this moment. I saw that the original Youzai Youzai was sitting there, smiling and enjoying the service of his apprentice, looking at the old lady Ge Yong, the old lady who was the closed disciple Zhang Shou who was fighting back against others like a knife, not only stood up at this time, but also kicked over the high table in front of him.

This kind of movement is much more than when the second prince jumped out before. This bang and the subsequent clatter of cups and plates were like thunder, and even shocked the second prince, who was originally full of righteous indignation, to take a step back.

And Ge Yong, who was old and strong, snorted coldly after kicking over a few heights and letting the melons and fruits that the emperor had specially entertained him as a teacher turn over the ground: "It's ridiculous!" ”

"My disciple, my student, do I know him or do you know him? Am I being deceived? How I didn't know! ”

The second prince expected that someone would jump out to speak to Zhang Shou - at this point, he had already taken the biggest risk, and he no longer expected to turn the tables around, and his only expectation was to knock Zhang Shou, a mortal enemy, into a place of no return.

He is already so downcast and pitiful, why is the other party not only proud of the spring breeze, but also about to marry a beautiful woman?

Therefore, Ge Yong was the first to come out to stand on the platform for Zhang Shou, he was not surprised at all, the steps that had just retreated were stepped out again at this moment. He glared at the emperor of the current dynasty and the elder of the four dynasties without fear, and said word by word: "Since the old lady said that Zhang Shou did not lie to you, that means that you want to cover up for Zhang Shou?" ”

"Yes, you used to be away from Beijing for a few months, lived in Rongshui Village on the outskirts of Beijing, and even built a bamboo house in the bamboo forest of Rongshui Village to live in seclusion, but you didn't teach Zhang Shou for a day! Because his ignorant adoptive mother was like an old hen guarding her chicks, hiding him at home when she was sick and weak, and did not let him come into contact with outsiders! ”

"Since you have never been in contact with him, just leave a few books, even if Zhang Shou is a genius who can learn without a teacher, but is he too knowledgeable, more powerful than you, the old lady?"

"And ......"

The second prince took a deep breath, and said gloomily in the spirit of ending up together: "Old lady, you dare to say that the more than ten volumes of "Ge's Arithmetic New Edition" that you circulated in the world before are really your handwriting, not by Zhang Shou, but you have a name?" ”

Paper can't hold the fire after all......

At this moment, Ge Yong couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but to say that it was frightened, fearful, or uneasy, it was pure nonsense. In fact, he had long expected this day. He smiled and said nonchalantly, "That book is indeed not written by me, but by me, the teacher, who occupies the student's book, I admit it!" ”

As soon as Ge Yong said this, Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan chuckled in their hearts. They joked that Ge Yong took advantage of Zhang Shou, a student, but it was just a joke, but now that the second prince is ill-intentioned to expose this, Ge Yong actually admitted it, isn't this to leave a big stain? It has always been taboo to steal other people's poems, songs, and other works!

But just when they were in a hurry, Zhang Shou suddenly said: "The second prince's words are simply ridiculous, why do you play with him, teacher?" You must know that the books were all printed from Lu Sanlang's bookstore, and the dozen or so books were a new edition of Ge's arithmetic, not a new edition of Ge Yong's arithmetic. As for the compiler, it is not marked, so how can the so-called name occupation be said? ”

"The reason why I used editing instead of using books in the first place is simpler. The teacher once spurned those symbols handed down from other countries, and even those foreign arithmetic that are very different from the arithmetic system handed down from ancient times in our country, they are also very dismissive. But ordinary people don't think so, just like the Confucian scholar denounced it as a strange weapon and beat him to death with a stick, but the teacher is different. ”

"Teacher, you don't think so, but you even went out of your way to collect those foreign books, read them yourself, study and judge them, and even passed them on to me, a student! Therefore, this "New Edition of Ge's Arithmetic" is a work that combines the ten books of arithmetic handed down from all dynasties, plus the advantages of foreign arithmetic, plus the interpretation and interpretation of Ge's teachers and students, and re-compiled the work! ”

"That's why it's called a new edition! Second prince, you obviously don't know how to learn, so don't be embarrassed here! ”
