my days with tyrants

Chapter 169 The Truth Comes Out
Of course, Lan Yu is not interested in caring whether his rumors are fallacies or heresies or normal thoughts of later generations.

Even if it is normal thinking, it is fallacy.

Everyone is noble...

Although in fact, they all started with mud legs.

But after all, they all think about the generations of princes and princes, and their descendants can be masters. Otherwise, everyone will fight for their lives and earn for decades. Is it just to make the descendants and mud-legged people equal?
It doesn't make sense!

It's not just that Zhu Yuanzhang can't accept Yang Feng's fallacies and heresies, these princes and even the generals of the guards can't accept it. Even if they form an alliance temporarily for a common goal, they have to distinguish clearly the problem of this principle.But since he doesn't teach these things, but only teaches techniques, then it is acceptable. Leaving aside the problem of heresy, Yang Feng's free education plan is indeed very useful.

Now the three powers are fighting for hegemony, although it has nothing to do with the common people.

How can there be common people's business?
Those who support Zhu Yunxi are military generals, and they are all nobles.

Duke Sapphire, Duke Chang Sheng, Marquis Cao Zhen...

If you are not a public, you are a prince.

Those who supported Zhu Yunqi were civil servants and vassal princes.

Needless to say the latter, civil servants are also the class of scholar-bureaucrats. Even though there are indeed Tian Shelangs in the current Ming Dynasty, the core of Confucian scholars is still the aristocratic family.

Support Zhu Di's...

Well, Zhu Di's only supporters are his own cronies.

But there are no real common people.

However, people's hearts are politically correct after all. Everyone knows that it is useless, but everyone should call for what people's hearts want. Zhu Di wants to put himself in the halo of a saint by welcoming Jiahe. Zhu Yunqi has the support of Confucian scholars behind him. After all, Confucian scholars still have to call.

In this case, Zhu Yunxi needs something to fight against.

Or speak for yourself.

righteous school.

In the personal capacity of the emperor's grandson, establish free schools in various places, and then absorb folk students, let them spread the virtues of the emperor's grandson, benevolence, benevolence and filial piety.

In this way, you have your own right to speak.

As for the emperor...

Never mind.

Because he allows private volunteer schools.

Since he allows privately run free schools, is there anything wrong with his grandson responding to the call and taking the lead in running free schools?There is no need to ask him to apply, the emperor's grandson will do it himself, so what can he say?What are you doing wrong?
It was you who asked me to run the free school!
Don't let the court give money?

There was no need for money from the court!

The emperor's grandson asked Yang Feng for the loan himself, and it was not from the imperial court.

and so……

"Be bolder, if you do it, what can he do?"

The little princess encouraged the emperor grandson.

"But……"

The emperor's grandson hesitated.

"I dared to elope with someone when I was twelve, but you dare not be the master once when you are seventeen?"

His aunt continued to slander others.

"I think the word elopement is a bit inappropriate?"

Yang Feng was speechless.

"Then what do you think we were back then?"

The little princess asked a bit savagely with her hips on her hips.

"Forget it, the emperor's grandfather has already issued a decree to approve it. Since others can run free schools, why can't I? But since it is a free school, where does the teacher come from? Students are easy to say, just take those folks who have been enlightened, but enter the school. Those who have no hope of learning, these are already literate, even if Confucianism is not good enough, come to our free school to learn some practical skills, and you can use this to make a living in the future.

But the teacher is not easy to handle.

In addition, what book to learn, this also has to find a way to compile. "

Zhu Yunxi said.

He is the grandson of the emperor, and he is already 17 years old!

His aunt dared to elope with someone when she was twelve, and he didn't dare to be the master once when he was seventeen?

Isn't that just righteousness?

It's not something forbidden, it was originally advocated by his grandfather, what's wrong with him responding to his grandfather's call?Common people can run free schools, but as the grandson of the emperor, he can't?Just like a real crown prince, be your own master once!

"The textbook is easy to handle, just leave it to me. As for the teacher, it is really troublesome."

Yang Feng said.

Textbooks are the easiest.

Give it to Sister Liu, and let her find someone to compile some basic science textbooks, and then add some practical technologies that can be realized in this era. In fact, some technologies in those factories in Mount Wutai can be incorporated into the textbooks.

In short, start with basic science, and then add practical technology.

It's like a technical school.

Students can even be arranged for internships in factories and various construction sites. In the future, these students are not intended to allow them to join Yangfeng's employees, but to allow them to establish their own businesses in various places.Now that free schools are being opened, the first batch of students after Zhu Yuanzhang’s death have also graduated. After the emperor’s grandson succeeded to the throne, he encouraged private industry and commerce.

After all, what Yang Feng wants is for Daming to enter a higher stage of running.

We must encourage the people to develop themselves.

These students have a broader vision, more advanced science, including economic thinking, and they are bound to become private emerging capitalists, and their background determines that they are one with the emperor and grandson.

In this way, the emperor's grandson will have a basic disk.

And as emerging capitalists, they don't need Yang Feng to do anything, they will push the emperor's grandson to go down the road envisioned by Yang Feng. At that time, it was not Yang Feng who was promoting the social development of Ming Dynasty by himself, but A new interest group is pushing Daming forward.At that time, it was very difficult for Zhu Yunxi to change. He would be pushed by his students on the chariot he built himself, and what Yang Feng needed to do was to watch and not let them run too high. So that the car overturned.

This is planning for the future.

Of course, the main task at present is to create the image of a holy lord and Mingjun for the emperor's grandson.

"Let your adopted daughters teach them!"

The little princess said suddenly.

"Uh, are you serious?"

Yang Feng said in astonishment.

but……

It seems that it is really possible!
Because his adopted daughters have actually received years of basic science education.

It's an exaggeration to say that it has been many years. After all, they have only been with him for more than two years, but since he brought these adoptive daughters, he let them learn, and of course he can't teach the Four Books and Five Classics, just some basic things.Astronomy, geography, physical chemistry, animals and plants, and even bacteria are all taught. Although they are only basic, in fact, his righteous daughters who often wear Pikachu to show off in the city are the most abundant basic scientific knowledge in this era.

Every level of knowledge can be considered profound in this era.

They even know the force of gravity!
And because Yang Feng was like a god in their eyes, they believed in everything.

Whatever Yang Feng taught them, they believed in.

If there is anyone in Daming who is suitable to be a teacher for Yixue at this time, then there is really no one more suitable than them. After all, what was taught at the beginning was basic science. As for the practical technology class, it is not available for the time being. You can find it from the artisans. , but the only problem is getting a bunch of little girls to teach a bunch of...

Well, their students are actually about their age.

Zhu Yunxi's student candidates are very good.

That is, from the current social studies, rural studies, including folk volunteer schools, to find those Mongolian children who cannot continue to advance on the road of imperial examinations, and whose Confucian level is not enough, but they are all literate.

This is the best source.

They are basically thirteen or fourteen years old, and no matter how old they are, they should start a family and start a business.

Among Yang Feng's adoptive daughters, the older ones are about the same age, so if such a group of so-called young girls teach those teenagers, no one should be late for class.The only problem is that the impact may not be very good. After all, if they get together like this, there is no guarantee that something will happen, and they may be attacked by Confucian scholars in the future.

But it's no big deal.

Ambassador Yang is more than happy to fulfill the request.

"Well, you did make a good suggestion.

But why do I feel that you have ulterior motives? It's not because you want to play, right? "

Yang Feng looked at the little princess who was obviously eager to try and said.

"Nonsense, I'm a princess!"

The little princess said insincerely.

"what!"

Yang Feng despised it.

He can be sure that the purpose of this guy's suggestion is to pretend to be a teacher himself.

"But let a group of women teach, it will inevitably cause criticism."

The emperor's grandson said.

"What are you afraid of? Besides, we don't teach the Four Books and Five Classics. We just want to distinguish them from those Confucian scholars from the very beginning. They teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and we teach technology. They make some famous Confucians, so we just get a group of beautiful women. We fought against them from the very beginning."

The little princess continued to push her nephew down the crooked road.

"It's not all taught by them, they just teach basic science, and they are not considered teachers, they are just responsible for explaining.

Give them whatever identities you want.

You don't need to bring the name of the teacher. "

Yang Feng said.

Since the emperor's grandson can only accept this, Yang Feng doesn't need to take care of the rest. The emperor's grandson has his own cronies, and Lanyu sits in charge. Pushing it away, in fact, it only needs to be around the capital, after all, the main purpose is to show off.

Yang Feng, who returned to Wutai Mountain, quickly asked Sister Liu to compile the textbooks, and then selected his adopted daughters.

At this time, Jin Yiwei completed the investigation of the two assassination cases vigorously and resolutely.

They are all White Lotus Sect.

The assassination of the Emperor Taisun and the King of Yan belonged to the White Lotus Sect, and the assassination of the Guangze County King was also Zhu Yunqi. The grandson took revenge and assassinated King Guangze.

What a vicious intention!

Although the grandson of the emperor and the king of Guangze have a deep brotherhood, they will not succeed at all.

But this heart is too bad!

So His Majesty the Emperor once again decreed that all the demons of the White Lotus Sect should be strictly banned, and all the demon books of the White Lotus Sect should be confiscated and burned. Once a place where the demons of the White Lotus Sect gathers is found, the nearby guards must immediately eliminate them.

In short, the professional blame man, Bailianjiao, takes the blame again.

The only problem is, the weapons used by the assassins are hard to explain...

Made privately.

As for how to obtain the manufacturing method, this is a separate investigation, so there is no need to put it together.

Anyway, close the case quickly.

"The truth is out!"

Yang Feng said with emotion.

He is at the Longjiang shipyard at this time. This already huge shipyard is even busier now, because King Yan has already determined the size of Ying Jiahe's fleet. There are a total of sixty new warships, each of which costs [-] yuan. , built exactly according to one drawing to save time.

As for investment, it doesn't matter.

It's nothing more than printing money.

However, because the news of the gold and silver mountains of the Japanese country has already spread, and His Majesty the Emperor has also decreed that once the silver mountains of the Japanese country start to produce silver, the exchange of precious banknotes for silver will be released, so the currency value of the precious banknotes is stable. It's still a cake, but after all, there is a big cake that can be maintained.

Mountains of gold and silver!
Then there is no need to worry about the depreciation of the banknotes.

And because these new warships need a large number of high-quality craftsmen, especially the guidance of Ambassador Yang, they can only be built in Longjiang Shipyard.

Even the number of docks had to be increased for this purpose.

Now a large number of civilians are busy digging new docks in front of them.

Beside him, Zhu Di had a calm smile on his face.

Of course, this result is inevitable. His Majesty the Emperor appointed Zhu Yunqi as the King of Guangze County. In fact, he has made it clear that the case will stop here and will not investigate any further. His Majesty the Emperor just wants to let two grandsons and one son fight, and then choose the best An heir according to his own will.Although Zhu Yunxi is still the grandson of the emperor, since the investigation will not continue, it means that the emperor has finally begun to reconsider his position as the heir apparent.This is a good thing for Zhu Di. Although he has added another competitor, he has seen Zhu Yunxie's position as the crown prince shaken. As long as this position is shaken, then he has hope.

"The imperial decree to transfer iron wood keels from Guangdong has been issued, and it is estimated that they can be shipped from Guangdong before the winter sea breeze changes.

At that time these docks were also completed.

There are other woods here, so the work can start this winter.

As for the tar and asphalt mentioned by the ambassador, the ambassador has to work. "

Zhu Di said.

For this level of ocean voyage, the most important thing for a warship is its sturdiness. At present, the strongest shipbuilding material in Ming Dynasty is of course iron wood. Guangdong iron wood is actually mainly produced in Annan, although it is definitely not possible to use all iron wood. But the keel must be iron wood.

As for tar pitch, these are also essential.

After all, this kind of voyage is different from Zheng He's voyages.

The latter is to jump along the coastline and keep docking to maintain supplies, and what this requires is to sail for two months without any coast stop, crossing tens of thousands of kilometers of ocean, even if it starts from Fusang, it will take eight days It takes nine thousand kilometers to see land.

So the boat must be strong.

Otherwise, there would be no place to stop for maintenance on the vast Pacific Ocean.

"Your Highness, don't worry, construction will start this winter, and the first batch of sea trials will begin in spring next year. Sixty warships will be built in one year, and sea trials will be made while building. .

Complete Ying Jiahe in one year.

In May of the 31st year of Hongwu, it is estimated that Jiahe will be dedicated to His Majesty. "

Yang Feng said.

This time must be grasped well.

Because in the original history, Zhu Yuanzhang died in Hongwu's 31st year in May.

Go for it!
At this time Zheng He walked to Zhu Di's side, and whispered a few words.

Zhu Di suddenly turned his gaze to Yang Feng.

"Ambassador, you'd better go to Dengwen Drum Academy, maybe there will be surprises!"

He said with a strange smile.
