Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 112 Tiande! Don’t leave!

"Brother Yang, you don't mean to..."

"That's right! The industrial technology is now quite mature. There is no need to use wood ash water to mass-produce fine salt. The cost is too high.

To this end, I thought of another way, which was to create an assembly line and pass on the method of producing fine salt.

There happens to be a salt mine in Ningming County, which will become the source of economic income for my experiment.

Ordinary people can make money, and I will have more funds to do things for myself.

This is really killing two birds with one stone.”

Yang Chen told everyone about his new plan, which surprised everyone.

"The people of Ningming County will be blessed in the future. I would like to thank Brother Yang on their behalf."

Zhu Biao raised his hand to salute, which made Zhu Chong stunned.

It’s not like he had not seen Yang Chen last time.

But I didn't expect that only a month had passed and my elder brother would be so polite to this outsider.

How could he not feel shocked when he saw that even Zhu Di, who was usually unstable, was used to it?

"Brother Yang, I have something I want to ask you to help me with."

While thinking, Zhu Chong subconsciously expressed his inner needs.

Everyone looked at him. They had never expected that the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty would need help from others one day.

"What do you want to say, second brother? Why don't you just say it?"

Zhu Di's attitude towards his younger brother has changed, and he will need him to do something in a few days.

Old Zhu had already made the decision, so Zhu Biao naturally would not hold on to his previous disgust.

No matter what, they are brothers connected by blood.

This is a fact that cannot be changed.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Chong finally spoke out what he meant.

"Brother, I know I was extremely wrong, but I really don't want to be punished by my father any more.

No one talked to me for a month and I was almost suffocating.

If this continues, I will really go crazy!"

Finally able to speak freely, Zhu Chong began to quickly express his suffering.

Among the three people listening to his speech, Zhu Di was the most frightened.

Fortunately, he was sober and his future self didn't do anything outrageous, otherwise the punishment would probably fall on him now.

It's terrifying just to hear it.

Zhu Chong talked for nearly ten minutes, and he kept talking like a machine gun without stopping.

Yang Chen could see that this guy was not far from going crazy.

If he were locked up for a few more days, he would definitely lose his mind completely.

"Okay! Stop talking." Zhu Biao took a deep breath and interrupted the other party.

Zhu Chong, who felt like there was something stuck in his throat, realized that what he was doing seemed to be wrong, so he just shut up.

"If I had known this would happen, why would I have done it in the first place? Second brother, you know how much our father and mother value you, but you actually did such a thing.

Both my parents and I were very disappointed.

Now Deng has been punished and sent back to her clan, and Guanyinnu has been taken in by her mother to be a female official.

You are just one point away from losing everything.

If you really don't want to end up like this, I hope you will do things honestly from now on.

Stop thinking about things you shouldn't think about, and don't be misled by others.

As your elder brother, I hope to see you doing well, but you always let me down. If it were you, what would you do? "

Faced with the scolding, Zhu Chong blushed and dared not say a word. He could only nod repeatedly.

Yang Chen, who was watching the fun, looked him up and down, and a bold idea came to his mind.

He pushed Zhu Biao's shoulder, and Zhu Biao turned and looked at him with confusion.

"Brother Yang, is there something wrong?"

He was teaching his brother a lesson, and he never thought that Yang Chen would disturb him.

"A Biao, your father just said that he would ask him to agree to my proposal for the title of vassal king in seven days. By then, in addition to Yongle, there will definitely be other vassal kings.

Zhu Chong is a criminal and it is impossible for him to go to the frontier to establish meritorious service in the short term.

How about this, don’t I want Ningming County?

This guy seems to know Ningming County very well, so it's okay."

"Brother Yang, do you mean to let my second brother go with you into Ningming County?

You are behind the scenes, and he communicates with the people and local officials?"

Zhu Biao guessed the second half of Yang Chen's sentence, and Yang Chen nodded, which was considered an admission.

Looking at the two people whispering, Zhu Chong felt a little strange.

“Second brother, you just heard it, Brother Yang needs you to do something.

What do you mean?

Faced with this request, Zhu Chong was actually somewhat resistant.

After all, whoever meets Yang Chen will be in big trouble.

But Zhu Chong observed his elder brother's attitude and found it was not difficult to find that the other party seemed to be very happy for him to do so.

'If I refuse Big Brother, the already bad impression I have will make him misunderstand me even more. I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to decide.

But if I stay with this guy, won't my life be gone one day? '

Zhu Chong does things without considering the consequences, but he is not stupid.

He had guessed everything Yang Chen had done since they met just now.

Especially the life of the 'alchemist'.

This master is not as kind as he seems. I'm afraid I'll fall into trouble if I'm not careful.

"Second brother? You want to refuse?"

Seeing Zhu Chong's hesitation, Zhu Biao asked tentatively.

Seeing this, Zhu Chong quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no! I don't, bro. I want to!"

"it is good!"

A look of satisfaction appeared on Zhu Biao's face.

As this voice was heard, everyone present had mixed expressions.

Zhu Di sighed even more.

Fortunately, he did not commit any major mistakes, otherwise the same situation as his second brother would have happened to him.

Not long after, everyone went back to their homes.

Yang Chen went back to prepare for teaching Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Bai the next day.

As for going to court seven days later to act with Old Zhu, Yang Chen really couldn't accept his official identity for a while.

So he seemed quite unconcerned.

into the night.

In the silent palace, Old Zhu sat alone in the room where he handled government affairs, under the light of candles.

He continued to calmly deal with the various memorials that had not been processed during the day.

If it were in the past, he would definitely curse Yang Chen in secret.

If this guy hadn't been lecturing, I would have been able to get rid of these mortal things and go spend time with the girls.

However, after today's class, Lao Zhu felt that he had benefited a lot.

"Class rule is really hard to guard against. If I could meet the man who rose from the East, I would definitely ask him for advice."

Old Zhu muttered to himself, still feeling great admiration for the person Yang Chen was talking about.

Since ancient times, no one has ever been able to classify all the people in the Central Plains from such a unique perspective. By classifying, one can find his friends and identify his enemies. No matter who is his opponent, he will not be distracted by his own internal affairs and fail.

".From now on, where should we go from here?"

Old Zhu picked up the pen and fell silent. He didn’t know where his future would lead him.

If he really does this, then in the end, he will become the most dishonest person in the world.

A liar became the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang felt very uncomfortable when he thought that someone would guess that he did this and leave behind problems that would be criticized by future generations.

“It’s a tough decision.

Forget it, let’s go find a girl.”

Feeling that this problem was extremely difficult, Zhu Yuanzhang finally chose to ask Empress Ma to help him solve his problem.

Whenever he was in doubt, he would look for Empress Ma. This was Zhu Yuanzhang's usual practice.

"Your Majesty! This is the Impermanence Book of everything Yang Chen did today. Everything is recorded in the book."

Suddenly, five meters away from Lao Zhu, Mao Xiang presented a book to him.

He just glanced at it, showing no intention of looking, and waved his hand to let him leave.

Mao Xiang's additional words made him stop what he was doing.

"Your Majesty, before Yang Chen entered the palace today, he was taken to Marshal Xu's residence by Prince Yan."

"Huh? Is this the case?"

Old Zhu's interest was immediately attracted.

Ever since he told everyone that they were preparing to attack Japan, especially when Yang Chen mentioned the "Sword Spirit", he knew that Xu Da would definitely be interested in Yang Chen.

There was no reason, it was just because the idea proposed by Yang Chen was consistent with what Xu Da had told him before.

The Tang Dynasty had the Black Armor Army, the Southern Song Dynasty had the Beiwei Army, and the Three Kingdoms had famous armies such as the Xianzhen Camp and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

However, he did not have a decent army under his command. This was not only a regret for Zhu Yuanzhang, but also a regret for all the generals.

Soldiers not only want to gain fame and fortune, but also want to leave a famous mark in history.

In addition to attacking, the way for a general to leave a name for himself is to create an invincible team!

The Black Armor Army, with its record of fighting against tens of thousands of people with only a thousand men, has been envied by countless generals in various dynasties.

Xu Da was nicknamed the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty among the people, but this made him very unhappy.

The honor belongs not only to him, but also to the soldiers under his command who died on the battlefield.

Therefore, Xu Da wanted to make his army leave a mark, but he did not want to be like previous dynasties and wanted his army to be special.

But he, Lao Zhu and other brothers thought about it for many years, but they couldn't come up with it.
How should we make the military stand out compared to the past?

The appearance of Yang Chen and his outstanding ideas made Xu Da admire this young man very much.

Opening the Book of Impermanence, Lao Zhu looked at it carefully.

"Hmm? How can this guy Lao Si be so careless? He tells everything to others. With this kind of personality, how can he be called the Yongle Emperor?"

Not long after, Old Zhu couldn't help but curse Zhu Di.

When he saw that Yang Chen's identity was exposed so easily, Lao Zhu almost ordered his servants to find him and beat him up.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu did not do so, but continued reading.

Soon, he realized that Xu Da would not live for more than eight years, which made Zhu feel a little uneasy.

His expression became very complicated, showing disbelief, worry, and more of reluctance.

His best brother, the most capable general of the Ming Dynasty, actually only had less than eight years left to live.

If the news of this kid gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar.

With him around, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would be able to become an army that could surely defeat foreign enemies, otherwise Xu Da would not have been nicknamed the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty has not yet been destroyed, and Zhu Yuanzhang cannot sleep well as long as the Yuan court exists.

In the near future, the Ming Dynasty will become increasingly powerful and will soon be able to leave behind those barbarians of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The original plan was to have Xu Da lead an army of hundreds of thousands to the north to destroy the Yuan court in one fell swoop and eliminate these future troubles.

But now it seems that his brother's health is getting worse and worse, and Lao Zhu hesitated on this matter.

“I didn’t expect Tiande’s back carbuncle to be so serious. This guy still thinks I’m his big brother.

He was so seriously ill that he didn't even tell me anything! No wonder we said this guy didn't want to accept the treatment from the doctor we arranged.

After all this time, he just wanted to hide it from me! Bastard! I treated him as a brother! What does he think I am! "

Old Zhu clenched the Book of Impermanence in anger and heartache, and slammed his fist on the table.

Old Zhu, who was never controlled by emotions, suddenly sat down on the steps, staring blankly into nothingness.

At this moment, his heart was in a turmoil.

Childhood memories came to his mind. Xu Da, who used to follow him around and call out "Zhong Ba Ge" left and right, was about to pass away due to illness.

Old Zhu couldn't help choking up.

"My old friend, why is our life so miserable?
You are leaving because you are suffering from back carbuncle, and so is the girl, and so is Xiong Yingbiao.

Oh my god, where do all these diseases come from? "

Old Zhu was unwilling to raise his head and close his eyes, but tears could not stop falling from the corners of his eyes.

The flickering shadow cast on the ground by the candlelight made him look very lonely.

"This bastard, every time something good happens to us, it doesn't take long for bad things to happen to us.

What a terrible thing to do to a bad guy! "

Old Zhu was so angry!

After thinking for a long time, I realized that I could only curse a few words, and in the end there was nothing I could do.

Birth, aging, sickness and death - these are the most helpless things in life.

Zhu Biao, Empress Ma and Zhu Xiongying all had ways to prevent things from happening.

But the situation involving Xu Da was the most special, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

Looking at the wrinkled book of impermanence, Lao Zhu gritted his teeth.

He stood up and walked to the candle and lit it.

When it was halfway burned, he threw the Book of Impermanence to the ground and let it be devoured by the flames.

"Tian De, I won't let you leave like this, and I won't allow you to leave. The Ming Dynasty has not yet become the only country in the world, and I haven't become the common ruler of the world.

You can’t just leave like this!”

Old Zhu paced outside and said with fierce eyes.

In the house behind him, the Book of Impermanence burned to ashes, and was cleaned up by several figures in the next second.

It's as if nothing happened.

The next afternoon.

Yang Chen finished the lesson in the classroom.

"Xiong Ying, do you know the principle of convex lens?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded happily in the audience.

"I understand, teacher. The magnifying glass you gave me is actually a convex lens. A convex lens can focus light that we cannot touch.

Under the scorching sun, light is refracted and focused through a convex lens. This point is called the focal point. It is very hot and can ignite dry grass.

At noon, I personally did it with Uncle Twelve in the garden last night, and found that I could really light the dry grass, which was magical. "

Using a magnifying glass to light a fire is a very common and fun experiment.

Yang Chen gave this to Zhu Xiongying as homework yesterday. This child is very smart and he understood the mystery immediately.

"Very good, today's class ends here. You should digest today's lesson well in the next two days.

Go back and remember to review these fonts and become as familiar with them as possible. I will teach you more interesting knowledge later. "

Yang Chen erased the simplified Chinese characters on the blackboard while repeating the assigned task.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Bo nodded repeatedly.

I originally thought that teaching only two children would be boring, but from Yang Chen's point of view, it was actually very easy.
