Di Mu pondered for a long time before he spoke: "The people of the Japanese Kingdom give students the feeling that they are like walking corpses, not like the people of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Mo Yanbai said: "The students feel that they seem to be deliberately buying drunk, as if they are deliberately numbing themselves? ”

Li Chengyan nodded and said, "Since you have discovered these, then you will find out the reason tomorrow." It just so happened that we were going to spend an extra day in Kyoto. ”

Di Mu and Mo Yanbai did not go to Qinglou again the next day, but left the capital and ran to the countryside of the Wa Kingdom.

After a long morning's shopping, Mo Yanbai spoke: "Senior brother, they are also hardworking, even if they are not much worse than my Ming people, but why are they like this?" ”

Di Mu shook his head and said, "I can't say it either." If we ask them about taxation, they probably won't have the courage to say it directly. It's better to take a slow look and find a home for a meal at noon. ”

However, when it was almost time for lunch, Di Mu and Mo Yanbai were dumbfounded-the Japanese people did not have the habit of eating lunch at all, and they could save a meal.

In desperation, Di Mu and Mo Yanhui could only rely on some food and canned food that they brought with them when they left the city

After taking a bite of the cake, Di Mu said hatefully: "For as long as I can remember, I have never seen anyone who only eats two meals a day!" ”

Mo Yanbai comforted: "Forget it, senior brother, didn't I only eat two meals a day in the early years of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Di Mu said: "It's not just a matter of three meals or two meals. ”

Pointing at himself and then at Mo Yanbai, Di Mu continued: "Do you see anything in them?" ”

Seeing Mo Yanbai shaking his head, Di Mu said: "Look at what they are wearing, then look at what you and I are wearing, look at their faces, and then look at the faces of our people, do you find any difference?" ”

Mo Yanbai hesitated: "Clothes are not covered? Noodles with dishes? No, is it hungry? What does the senior brother mean is that they can't eat enough and can't dress warmly? ”

Di Mu said: "Yes, that's exactly what it means. This kind of unclothed and hungry situation is only recorded in the book that it still existed in my Ming Dynasty before Chongzhen's five years, and this situation was almost completely eliminated after Chongzhen's five years.

The problem is, if they are now in a similar situation to Chongzhen five years ago, doesn't that mean that their people's lives are more than 20 years behind my Ming Dynasty? ”

Mo Yanbai's eyes couldn't help but widen: "How come?" Even if the life of their people is much worse than that of my Ming people, it is not 20 years apart, right? ”

After finishing speaking, Mo Yanbai scratched his head again and said: "But it's not easy to say, in addition to eating two meals a day, looking at the tools they use, they are also much behind my Ming Dynasty, so no one is thinking about inventing something new?" ”

Di Mu shook his head and said, "I don't understand it either, let's wait until I go back and ask the teacher." ”

In response to the question raised by Di Mu and Mo Yanbai, Li Chengyan laughed and said, "What do you think about to invent a new thing? ”

Di Mu said: "Need time? Need to think about? Need a cost? Probably that's all three, right? ”

Li Chengyan shook his head and said: "Not only that, without the accumulation of generations, it is actually very difficult to come up with new inventions, and it is by no means as easy as words."

Just like my Ming Dynasty, the Royal Academy has been established since the first year of Chongzhen, and His Majesty invests tens of millions of taels of silver into the Royal Academy every year, during which there are only occasional gains, and it is not until the twenty-fourth year of Chongzhen that new inventions continue to emerge.

As for the lack of food and clothing for the people of the Japanese country, so what? Or what else do you want? They are not like the two of you, you two have been the people of the Ming Dynasty from the moment you were born.

As long as you don't join the army, not only do you not need to fight, the army will also help you as soon as there is a natural disaster, the government will allocate land to you, and it will matter whether you have a wife and a family, even if you have nothing to do and have no surplus food, your children have the right to distribute land and study from birth, which is protected by His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Ming Law.

What about the people of the Wa Kingdom? What do they have? What else is there besides endless wars? Many people don't even deserve their last name!

Now you understand the question you asked yesterday, right? ”

Di Mu nodded and said: "Yes, because the people of the Japanese Kingdom can't see any hope, they can only paralyze themselves and indulge in Fushou ointment and wine, even if they are enterprising, they just run to Daming to find a glimmer of opportunity." ”

Li Chengyan nodded and said: "Yes, because they can't see hope, in addition to seeking Daming to become the supervisor of the construction site, what else can the woman do except go to the Qinglou or sell herself as a maid?" ”

Unlike Di Mu's escape, Mo Yanbai's personality is obviously more loyal and honest: "But, after all, it is the people who suffer? ”

Li Chengyan said: "And then? Do you want to say that if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world? My Ming Dynasty is now threatening the world, should I relieve the people of the Japanese country?

If the people of the Ming Dynasty lived such a life, the magistrates would be dragged to beheaded, the cabinet officials and the ministers of the ministries, as well as the officials in the court would be reprimanded or even dismissed because of this, and His Majesty the Emperor would also be angry.

However, they are not the people of the Ming Dynasty, their taxes have not been handed over to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army has no obligation to protect them, and the Ming government has no responsibility to help them!

If you put it more bluntly, the reason why the people of the Ming Dynasty have a good life now is because these Japanese people and the barbarians in Europe have not had a good life! They have endured the suffering that should have been borne by the people of the Ming Dynasty for the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Mo Yanbai felt that his three views had been destroyed - the education he received since he was a child told him how wise and martial the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was, and how he loved the people like a son.

But everything I saw and heard in the Wa Kingdom in the past two days, including all the information I learned from my teacher, proved that Emperor Chongzhen was an out-and-out tyrant, butcher, and executioner!

Looking at Mo Yanbai with an incredulous look, Li Chengyan sighed: "Why did I bring you two to the Wa Kingdom?" Why do you want to see all this?

Staying in Daming, you only see beauty, Your Majesty cares for the people, the court is dutiful, the army never disturbs the people, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the friendship and mutual assistance between classmates is almost all the ideal world recorded in the book.

But I am bringing you out to tell you through the facts that all this is not for nothing, and this world is not as beautiful as you see and hear, and it is still dark and cruel.

Now you see that the life of the people of the Japanese country is poor and difficult, but the teacher tells you that the life of the people of Europe is even more miserable than that of the people of the Japanese country!

The war began immediately, and Europe is now at war every day, and the land is almost barren there, and few people can take care of it well, and it is almost a dream to have enough food and clothing.

However, why can you eat enough and dress warmly, and can you fight again because of whether the tofu brain is sweet or salty? Even a few of your classmates occasionally appear bastards who pick up a bowl to eat and put down chopsticks to scold your mother?

Because you are the people of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor used his reputation and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty used their lives to firmly block all the darkness and cruelty from the Ming Dynasty.

There is a set of data, not only you students, but also other Ming people, and even low-level officials have not understood, and I will tell you today.

On average, every ten Ming people will be protected by a catcher - between the fifth year of Chongzhen and the twenty-fifth year of Chongzhen, nearly 30,000 catchers, Jinyiwei, and Fanzi died in non-war accidents.

From the fifth year of Chongzhen to the twenty-fifth year of Chongzhen, the number of soldiers who died in the war was only less than 100,000, but the number of soldiers who died because of disaster relief and protection of the people was three times that number! ”

After sighing, Li Chengyan said again: "You were born later, and you have not experienced some hard days, but you have always experienced natural disasters.

Do you know that several times the river burst its banks, it was the soldiers of the local guard station who jumped into the river and blocked the flood with their own flesh and blood, some died of exhaustion on the way to carry sandbags, and some simply had no bones, and they have not been found until now!

Isn't it cruel? Who is not human? Who is not the heart of parents, who is not the heaven of wives and children? Are they not afraid of death?

No, they are not afraid of death, they are just because of your identity as a Ming people, so they can give up their lives to protect you when necessary! ”

Not only Mo Yanbai was completely stunned, but even Di Mu, who had a temperamental jump, was stunned.

As Li Chengyan said, there is also a sweet party and a salty party in Jingcheng University, and a spicy party is ridiculing the sweet and salty parties, in short, they don't like each other, and there will be fights from time to time.

As for picking up the bowl to eat, putting down the chopsticks and scolding the mother, not only in Beijing University, but also in prefectures and county schools around the world.

Many people think that the military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty is too high, and the treatment given to the Qiu Ba is too good, but it is just that because of the order that the students are not allowed to discuss politics, they can't be said on the surface, and they just discuss it in private.

Seeing that the two students were stunned, Li Chengyan continued: "Selling arms overseas, selling Fushou ointment, and reselling people to the Ministry of Railways as coolies for the teacher are all the kind of things that abandon morality and conscience, break the yang longevity and then damage the yin virtue, but the teacher does not regret it."

As His Majesty said, since there is no good time, someone must be willing to carry the weight forward.

I am telling you this today, and I also hope that you will go back in the future, and tell your classmates and other students in Beijing University what you have seen and learned, that you will be able to use what you have learned to block all the darkness for the people of Daming in the future! ”

For Di Mu and Mo Yanbai, Li Chengyan plans to teach what he said, and it is nothing to tell them this information that is not confidential, but more to let them agree.

It is not only necessary to identify with the academic system, but also to make them agree with these black-hearted methods, otherwise once they are soft-hearted in the future, the losses caused will be immeasurable.

In other words, if Di Mu and Mo Yanbai can't become black-hearted and thick-skinned like themselves, it's better not to engage in this kind of stuff like themselves in the future.

……

When Li Chengyan was teaching his students, Emperor Chongzhen was also teaching Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong's performance during this period of time was really good, whether it was choosing his own team or the management of the East Market, Zhu Cihong was qualified enough, and even far exceeded Emperor Chongzhen's expectations.

However, Zhu Cihong's military vision was far from satisfying Emperor Chongzhen.

Maybe he didn't set a good example for Zhu Cihong from the beginning, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cixiao still have some hammer thinking in their minds - the army is a hammer, the problem is a nail, if one hammer is not enough, bring another hammer, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a hammer.

This is not good, this is absolutely not good, he must reverse this concept, because no matter how good the hammer is, it must be able to use it again, just like letting a baby take a sledgehammer, even if it can be picked up, it is likely to hurt itself in the end.

After Zhu Cihong put down the information in his hand, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "What do you think?" ”

Zhu Cihong pondered and said, "Father, since Tokugawa Iemitsu and Masahito have this kind of disobedience, they should get rid of it as soon as possible, so as to avoid further disasters in the future. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "In addition to Tokugawa Iemitsu and Masahito, it is very simple, as long as there is a secret decree, the Jinyi Guards lurking in the Wa Kingdom can naturally get rid of them, and the army can completely pacify the Wa Kingdom within three months."

However, why did it have to be directly leveled by the Japanese state? Just because of what they think now? ”

After shaking his head, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Now we only need to send a few people over and secretly turn those stand-ins they have cultivated, whether it is Tokugawa Kazuko, into our people, why do you want to make a big fuss?"

Don't always think of solving problems by force, because force is the ultimate solution.

Just like now, the construction site of Daming still needs the supervisors of the Wa Kingdom, and the Qinglou of the Ming Dynasty also needs the Wa women, which is a real benefit for the Da Ming.

And more importantly, the Wa State has no ability to counteract, and for a day when Kyushu Island is in hand, the Wa State will always be able to do things according to the ideas of the Ming Dynasty, until one day the Ming Dynasty does not need the Wa State. So, when will the Ming Dynasty not need the Wa Kingdom? ”

Zhu Cihong bowed down and said, "When these projects of the Ming Dynasty are over?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Theoretically speaking, yes, when these projects of the Ming Dynasty are over, there will naturally be no need for these Japanese people to be overseers, and there will be no need for the Japanese Kingdom to exist at that time."

However, there is another possibility, if you think about it, what is the situation? ”
