Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 106 Zhu Biao's doubts

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the post-reading reflections at hand, and naturally Empress Ma was also there.

The two of them are a husband and wife who live and die together, that is a real family.

When there are no outsiders, there is not so much attention.

Randomly opened a copy of the post-reading review, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it a few times, and immediately frowned.

Basically clichés.

Lao Zhu was indeed born a beggar, and he hadn't read any books when he was young.

But Lao Zhu was very aware of his weakness, and later he read more books whenever he had the opportunity.

There are also subordinates like Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang around him, and they also learn a lot on weekdays.

Asking him to make a fuss may be almost meaningless, but when it comes to practical things, Lao Zhu still has insight.

I saw that Zhu Yuanzhang frowned every time he finished reading an article.

The speed of browsing has also become faster and faster.

Because everything is similar, it seems that they have discussed it and handed in a similar template together.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on those academic officials of the Imperial College.

For them, the three major industry theories mentioned by Su Jing are beyond the times.

Not everyone is Liu Bowen, who can have a lofty vision beyond the times.

They can't write anything, so they can only discuss it with everyone and write some correct nonsense.

"It's all nonsense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had no desire to continue watching after seeing half of it.

"Su Jing just said something casually, but he didn't even understand a single thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the unfinished articles with a straight face, only feeling irritable.

He founded the Imperial College by himself, recruited talents from Daming, but he was no match for Su Jing!
It's almost like a joke!
Empress Ma watched seriously from the sidelines, and nodded from time to time.

But after reading three or two articles, I also stopped.

"Chongba, calm down."

Empress Ma persuaded: "What Mr. Su said, how can it be so easy, I think what they wrote is okay, at least they have thought about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma and said, "Sister, I really don't understand, is Su Jing really that powerful? Is there no one else in my Ming Dynasty except Su Jing?"

For Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang is heart-to-heart, saying whatever he thinks.

Empress Ma paused and said: "Chong Ba, there are always some geniuses in this world, and Mr. Su is such a person. Besides, Mr. Su is not teaching Biu'er right now. He has no secrets about Biu'er."

Hearing Queen Ma's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "You are right, girl. Su Jing has indeed taught us everything that should be taught, and what should not be taught. He really doesn't hide anything. on."

The theory of the collapse of the dynasty, land annexation, and conflicts between man and land.

If this is an ordinary teacher, how could he teach a student of unknown origin.

Su Jing really has no secrets.

"Chongba, don't think too much, the more powerful this Mr. Su is, the more things Biao'er can learn, which is a good thing."

Empress Ma smiled and said, "As for you, don't worry, when Daming is handed over to Biao'er in the future, it will definitely get better."

This is what Lao Zhu cares most about, that Da Ming can be passed on to Zhu Biao smoothly.

As the first wife, Empress Ma is quite clear about that.

"Yes, in the future, Biao'er will definitely be able to do better than me."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, he didn't care too much about the impressions of those officials from the Imperial College.

After all, compared with Su Jing, they can only be regarded as ordinary people.

"By the way, Chongba, I heard that you told Wan'er that if he can really study hard at the Agricultural College, let Mr. Su guide him."

Empress Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly.

This Zhu Lu is also Empress Ma's biological son, and Empress Ma also knows about the affairs in the Daben Hall.

"Well, that's right, the fifth brother really surprised me."

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "I went to the Agricultural College to see him. He is really studying. I also asked Yang Siyi. The fifth student is very good at learning."

Zhu Yuanzhang was both surprised and pleasantly surprised by Zhu Huan's performance.

Empress Ma said: "Then you have to think about how to fulfill your promise. A father can't lie to his son."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "That's natural. I can't follow my words once I say it. I can't lie to Lao Wu about this matter."

"I've already made up my mind. I will send Lao Wu to Lishui County in a few days. If there is a sign, it will be easy to take care of him."

"However, Su Jing's planting technique may not be able to teach the fifth child."

Thinking of Su Jing's scientific breeding of seedlings mentioned in Zhu Biao's previous letter, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing out loud.

Su Jing is not good at everything.

Empress Ma nodded: "That's fine, it's better to let Su Er pass than to let Mr. Su come here."

It is obviously not a good thing for Su Jing to know Zhu Biao's identity now.

"By the way, sister, you will be sixteen after the New Year's Eve. It's time to mention the marriage with Boren's daughter."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

This autumn has come, and next year will be next year after winter, and Zhu Biao will be sixteen.

According to the law of Ming Dynasty, a man can get married at sixteen.

This marriage with Chang Yuchun's daughter, Chang Wan, is a baby kiss, and it's time to set a date.

Empress Ma immediately said: "Don't worry, I will keep this matter in mind, next year I will call Mrs. Lan over to discuss it."

It was the first marriage of her own son, and Empress Ma was no less caring than Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lishui County.

In Su Jing's other courtyard, both of them were working with binoculars.

Zhu Biao continued to work on the monocular, while Su Jing continued to polish and adjust the astronomical telescope.

Although ten of them were sent back last time, Zhu Biao also understood the importance of telescopes, and ten must not be enough.

Do more, for the soldiers on the front line, it is no different from saving lives.

Su Jing is to see deep-sky objects that are easy to observe in autumn.

The two masters and apprentices are both staring at the telescope, which is quite harmonious.

It's just that Gong Weilang, who was watching from a distance, didn't know what to do.

I can't get too close, and the two of them are doing another thing.

When the time comes to report, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will blame him again.

Why can't you just do something normal?

"Master Su, do you really never think about getting married?"

Zhu Biao polished his lenses and asked casually.

In his opinion, Su Jing is so knowledgeable and has a lot of money, at this age, it should be time to start a family.

As the saying goes, to start a family and start a business, Su Jing doesn't know how much he has established in this business.

Su Jing smiled and said: "You little brat asked me what I did, why am I so anxious to get married."

The current Su Jing is only in his early twenties, he has never thought about starting a family anyway.

Zhu Biao immediately said: "Master Su, the students are not too young, and they will be sixteen after the end of this year, and they will be able to start a family by then."

Zhu Biao is also very clear about his marriage contract.

He had also met Chang Yuchun's daughter Chang Wan, she was quite a nice woman.

Su Jing was taken aback for a moment, but she forgot that a man in Ming Dynasty can get married at sixteen.

He looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Why, your family has already made a marriage contract for you?"

It is understandable that my apprentice is either rich or noble, and he has a marriage contract for a long time.

"Ah."

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "That's right, it's the daughter of my father's friend."

Chang Yuchun said that he was Zhu Yuanzhang's friend, but it was not a big problem.

Su Jing was not surprised, but continued to ask: "Then, did your family agree on when to get married?"

"No, but probably not too late."

Zhu Biao replied truthfully.

Su Jing said lightly: "Then my suggestion to you is that if you get married, don't have children too early, and don't have children too often."

Su Jing didn't know much about childbearing, but he knew that if a woman gave birth too early, the burden on her body would be relatively large.

This was especially true in the Ming Dynasty when medical technology was not very developed.

"Why?"

Zhu Biao was puzzled.

In ancient times, or now, it is better to get married and have children as early as possible. Lao Zhu even encourages to have more children.

Because it is the early Ming Dynasty, the war has just passed, and the population is at a low point.

And to develop a country, in a feudal society, the easiest way is to have more children.

The more people there are, the more things can be done.

Su Jing said: "I know a person, he got married very early, he was only 17 years old, and then his wife gave birth to two sons and two daughters in seven years, and then his body could no longer bear it, and his wife passed away .”

"If you don't want to repeat the same mistakes, you'd better follow my advice."

Su Jing was not interested in explaining about fertility knowledge, because he couldn't understand it either.

What he said was exactly what Zhu Biao would experience in the original future.

After Zhu Biao and his wife Chang Wan got married, they gave birth to four children in total. Eleven days after the birth of the fourth child Zhu Yunxie, he died directly.

At this moment, Su Jing didn't know that he was using Zhu Biao to give Zhu Biao an example.

When Zhu Biao heard this, his face also became serious.

Although he is still not married to Chang Wan, and his relationship may not be so good, Zhu Biao will never hope that Chang Wan, his future wife, will die so early because of having too many children.

"Master Su, the student understands, the student must remember."

Zhu Biao replied very seriously.

Even though Su Jing simply gave an example and didn't even say who it was, Zhu Biao still trusted him immensely.

In other words, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not.

Su Jing didn't know that his casual remark now directly changed the fate of Chang Yuchun's daughter Chang Wan.

Chang Yuchun's family, I really have to thank Su Jing.

"I'm just reminding you that having more children is a good thing, but you should also consider your wife's health."

Su Jing said lightly.

He really didn't think too much, that is to say, he didn't think of the ending of Chang Yuchun's daughter until the matter of getting married.

"Thank you, Master Su, for your point. The student would like to thank you on behalf of his fiancée."

Zhu Biao put down the tool in his hand, and bowed towards Su Jing.

Su Jing smiled and said: "There is no need to be so formal, besides you are not married yet, let's make a telescope first."

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao nodded.

The two continued to make their respective telescopes.

It was night in a blink of an eye, Zhu Biao could no longer continue, but it was time for Su Shi to test the results.

The night sky is translucent and the moon hangs high.

The bright moonlight shone like a silver glow.

Su Jing adjusted the astronomical telescope and pointed the lens at the moon.

Watching the moon, no matter when it is, is something that makes Su Jing extremely happy.

Zhu Biao waited silently by the side, and so did he.

The vastness of this universe has infinite magic power.

The two looked at each other in turn, and Zhu Biao posed all kinds of doubts towards Su Jing. Some of Su Jing would answer, but some of them let Zhu Biao observe by himself.

"Master Su, the universe is so big, can the stars in the sky have the same existence as our feet?"

Zhu Biao asked while observing the starry sky.

After seeing the starry sky several times, Zhu Biao finally had the doubts that any human being would have.

Is our earth unique?
The corner of Su Jing's mouth raised slightly, he was very happy to hear this question, which showed that it was very effective in cultivating Zhu Biao.

"Maybe, from the perspective of probability, as long as the universe is large enough, there must be planets like us in it."

Su Jing replied.

Zhu Biao looked back at Su Jing and said, "Then there will be people like us?"

Su Jing shrugged and said: "That depends on whether the person you are talking about is exactly the same as us, or as long as there is an intelligent existence, no matter what its external image is."

"Or, we can collectively call them, aliens."

alien?
Zhu Biao was shocked when he heard Su Jing's answer.

In the Ming Dynasty at this time, even the extent of its overseas territory has not yet been fully explored.

Now Su Jing is already talking to him about whether there are other intelligent life forms in the vast universe.

This made Zhu Biao feel unreal.
