Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 253 Independent Thinking

Compared with Lao Zhu, who was pissed off, Zhu Yuan started his day happily.

Because, grow taller.

This was Qingniang's accidental reminder when she woke up early. At that time, Zhu Yuan threw herself on a big white sheep to enjoy the soft jade, and Qingniang hugged her little man's head, and said quite unintentionally in emotion, "Daddy has grown taller." Woolen cloth'.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Yuan did not mention it, but he still cared about it in his heart.

After all, the women around me, the tall Qingniang, stood in front of her, barely reaching her shoulders, giving people the feeling that it was never like a relationship between a man and a woman.

So I immediately got up and started to measure.

However, it has not been deliberately measured before.

Zhu Yuan didn't do this, and the women around him obviously wouldn't be stupid enough to remind him to measure his height.

Only Qing Niang regretfully got up and helped to compare where Zhu Yuan went to her last year and where she is now. In short, in the past year, Zhu Yuan has grown about three or four finger widths taller.

Anyway, as long as it lasts.

Let’s say that on February 22 at the beginning of the year, Zhu Yuan decided that it was his 14th birthday, not the 16 years old that he told Lao Zhu at first. Subconsciously, apart from some weird comparisons, there is actually the hope that he is still growing his body .

After all, he is really 16 years old. In this age, he probably won't grow any longer.

Originally, he had no intention of entering the palace, but Lao Zhu sent someone to call, so of course he couldn't refuse.

This time I also brought a copy of the "Production" of "Economics" that I just got at the printing office of Jinling University yesterday. "Production Chapter".

Although there are only 32 characters, the volume of the [-]-carat book is not thin, because there are many pictures in it, including the "Population Trend Chart of the Chinese Dynasty" that Zhu Yuan passed to Lao Zhu through Xu Da last year. The main reference for Zhu Yuan's initial explanation of "Economics" to Lao Zhu.

At first Zhu Yuan thought that Lao Zhu would not be willing to take it out, but unexpectedly, this time he also opened up.

When I came to the East Pavilion, it was still around ten o'clock in the morning.

Lao Zhu has been relieved and started to review the memorials. After Zhu Yuan has seen the ceremony, he will send the newly printed volume of "Production Chapter". The matter, and the worry about the eldest son that I suddenly realized: "Yuan'er, Biao'er... I mean, you are too close to Confucianism, you probably already knew about it?"

Regarding Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuan has always been very cautious, trying not to say too much if he can, because this is Lao Zhu's Ni Lin, and if he talks too much, it is inevitable that he will make mistakes.

At that moment, Lao Zhu took the initiative to mention it, so Zhu Yuan dared to nod slightly.

In fact, there used to be an argument that both Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunqi were too Confucian and trusted Confucian officials.Especially Emperor Jianwen, the general view is that he listened to the bewitching of traditional Confucian officials such as Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru, and was eager to cut down the vassal, and eventually lost the country.

Zhu Yuan personally thinks that there must be related factors, but not so much.

Zhu Yuan is more inclined to Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao, and the grandparents of Emperor Jianwen as "one generation is not as good as one generation". Zhu Biao learned his father's "strategy" and "ruthlessness", but did not learn Lao Zhu's way of fighting together. The "love" of the old ministers and nobles.

Unlike other people who say that Lao Zhu is a hero who is cooked and killed by rabbits and dogs, in fact, Lao Zhu is very affectionate, whether it is to his children or to Xun Jiu.

Of course, Lao Zhu is very cold and ruthless about people who are more alienated, and will kill them as soon as he says.

This is Lao Zhu's split side.

Let's talk about the famous "Hu Weiyong case". When the case happened in Hongwu 13th year, Hu Weiyong and others were killed, but three generals were involved, "Jianhou" Lu Zhongheng, "Yan'anhou" Tang Shengzong and "Pinglianghou" Fei Judu He retired without any punishment at that time, and continued to be a marquis for ten years, enjoying the prosperity of the founding of the country.

The three people were killed in the 23rd year of Hongwu. At that time, according to the "25th year of Hongwu" understood by Zhu Yuan, it was not Lao Zhu who manipulated this matter, but Zhu Biao.

On the contrary, Lao Zhu was on the side of pleading, but he failed to persuade his son.

Speaking of a certain generation is not as good as the previous generation, when it came to Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen only learned the word "spicy" from his father and grandfather, not to mention "emphasis on love", even the "scheming" was gone, rough and direct, so that it caused disaster.

Therefore, in general, this is an internal family problem, and no one else can be blamed.

In the study of the East Pavilion.

Seeing Zhu Yuan nodded, Old Zhu was not surprised, and said: "At that time, I wanted to send those Confucian officials away, and I will not let Biaoer read the Four Books and Five Classics in the future. Remembering what you said last time...don't be too rude, it's considered a crime." Stop. Now, you know everything, tell me, what should I do?"

Last month, just because he felt that a courtier next to Zhu Biao was instigating his family relationship, Lao Zhu directly asked someone to throw a fourth-rank prince Yude into the river and drown him. Zhu Yuan had to have an open talk with Lao Zhu The way of education.

Now it seems that it is still useful.

Zhu Yuan thought about this, thought for a moment, and said: "My ancestor, first of all, we still need to change the atmosphere around His Highness, but we must not be too rough. Your Highness is at a sensitive age, and being too rough will cause rebellion. Therefore, we don't need to reduce the atmosphere around His Highness." , but it can be increased. In addition to Confucianism, military strategists, doctors, etc. are brought in. It just so happens that Jinling University and National University are on the right track, with 16 majors. The ancestors can choose some top-notch students to accompany His Highness to study related knowledge on a regular basis. In this way, the influence of Confucianism can be diluted. Moreover, for His Highness himself, learning more about relevant knowledge can only be beneficial."

Lao Zhu nodded immediately: "Okay, your method is good, that's all."

Zhu Yuan continued: "Furthermore, um, I'll think about it carefully and customize some special courses for Your Highness."

Old Zhu was curious: "What course?"

"Probably..." At this point, Zhu Yuan tried his best not to let himself smile: "...to help His Highness learn to 'independent thinking'."

"independent thinking?"

Zhu Yuan nodded.

Independent thinking, this is a big killer.

The former Chinese people did not understand why some people who went abroad became like that, inexplicably speaking all kinds of bad words to their own family members.

The reason is actually very simple.

Because, they have learned to 'independent thinking' in the generally hostile atmosphere towards China created by Westerners.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan explained: "Actually, your Highness's problem is that, receiving Confucian education since childhood, it is inevitable that you will think about things with Confucian thinking. What we did just now is to change the atmosphere. This is the first step. I will then What I did was to pull out His Highness who has already sunk in, this is the second step."

Old Zhu didn't quite understand: "You say this... but it's a mystery, how to do it specifically?"

This time, Zhu Yuan could only shake his head: "My ancestor, I have to think about this seriously, and I will talk to you after I think it through."

You can't say that I want to brainwash your son, can you?
Of course, it is actually brainwashing.

Pull Zhu Biao out of the Confucian atmosphere, reshape an atmosphere, insert Zhu Biao into this atmosphere, and try to tell an immature young man that you are free and independent when you are here. and therefore learn to 'think independently.

Moreover, out of selfishness, this atmosphere... Zhu Yuan felt that it must be beneficial to him.

Zhu Yuan said that he had to think about it seriously, so Lao Zhu was not in a hurry, chatted a few more words, and turned to the "Production Chapter" of "Economics" in his hand: "That's the case, and according to your statement, since this book has been printed, it should be done as soon as possible." Let’s distribute it, print as many points as you want, don’t wait, the university must not be overly influenced by Confucianism.”

　PS1: This is Chapter 2 updated today. The previous chapter was in front of the [Renewal Statement], and I accidentally posted the [Renewal Statement] as a paid chapter before. I covered it with the text, and only 2400 points are needed for 6 words.

　　PS2: I took the courage to read the comment area, and I felt relieved. Thank you for your tolerance.In fact, after stopping the update, I felt like I was off the track, insomnia, anxious, and at a loss. I started writing again today, and suddenly I felt on the track again. I should be able to fall asleep tonight.

　　that's all.
