Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 116 Are We a Longzhong Couple?

After hearing the excited call of his son beside him, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying who was holding a piece of paper and a goose feather in his hand.

After hesitating for half a second, he directly closed the memorial that he was about to deal with, then slowly got up and walked towards Chu Ze and the others.

As soon as Zhu Biao came over, Zhu Xiongying ran towards Zhu Biao with his handwriting and pen made by himself as if offering a treasure.

"Father, look, this is a pen I made myself! It's not a writing brush, but it can also be used for writing, and it's very easy to use."

"Okay, okay! Xiongying is really amazing."

Facing the child's gift of treasure, Zhu Biao did not hesitate to praise himself.

Although this compliment seemed a little perfunctory, Zhu Xiongying was still happy after hearing his father's compliment.

"It's really hard for you today. I have to help take care of the children. But I don't want to thank you. Anyway, you will have children yourself in the future, and you will learn to take care of them. I will lend the children to you. You practice first."

"We are still friends, you don't have to thank me."

After Zhu Biao came to Chu Ze's side, he made a rare joke with him.

And when Chu Ze heard Zhu Biao's words, he was stunned by the movements of his hands.

Then he turned his head with a blank expression, looked at Zhu Biao with an extremely disgusted look, and slowly stretched out his left hand like a fist.

Under Zhu Biao's expectant gaze, a middle finger slowly stood up.

"Thank you! Sincerely."

"Hahaha, you bastard, don't try to deceive me, although I don't know what your gesture means, but I can guess it from the expression on your face, this is definitely what you mean to despise me! "

Looking at the almost expressive disdain on Chu Ze's face, Zhu Biao could tell it at a glance.

Seeing Zhu Biao who was smiling happily, Chu Ze also smiled.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to deceive you at all. I just despise you blatantly."

"."

Originally, he thought that Chu Ze would make up a story to fool himself, but what Zhu Biao didn't expect was that this guy didn't take himself as a prince seriously at all.

In front of his own face, he could still speak so straightforwardly.

But maybe this is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Biao and Chu Ze were so casual when they got along.

"I also prepared a quill for you, take it and try to see if it works."

While speaking, Chu Ze threw the quill in his hand to Zhu Biao.

After Zhu Biao saw what he threw, he took it smoothly.

Meanwhile, he also noticed the small table in front of Chu Ze.

Above that is a line of small characters with slender but powerful strokes.

After Zhu Biao tried to get closer for a few minutes, he could see clearly what was written on the paper.

"The crime lies in the present, and the merit lies in the future. It doesn't matter if it is cast aside by thousands of people."

After whispering a line of small characters left on the paper.

When Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze again, his eyes became somewhat meaningful.

"Unexpectedly, your handwriting is really beautiful."

"That is, at any rate, I have practiced some before, but I have never practiced brush calligraphy."

"The quill in your hand is an overproduct. When I go back later, you can get me some graphite. After I bring it back, I will try to make some pencils. That is a really convenient thing."

"And I have to prepare lessons for these two little guys. I've grown up so much, I haven't been a teacher yet."

As Chu Ze said, he couldn't help looking at the two little ones who were practicing writing on the table with the quill pen he made.

After all, these are just two children, and after having new toys, they will no longer pester Chu Ze any more.

After Zhu Biao saw Chu Ze's handwriting on the paper, he also re-examined the quill in his hand.

At the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little curious about the pencil that Chu Ze mentioned.

Of course, they were more curious about Chu Ze's future generations.

"Come on, let the two kids play by themselves for a while, and let's talk about that... science thing you said earlier."

"Do you still remember this? I thought you forgot!"

"By the way, tell me about your future generations. In fact, I have always been curious about the era you lived in. It's just that I can't finish it during this time!"

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Chu Ze didn't say anything more.

The two went to the place where Zhu Biao was handling government affairs and sat down. The memorials on the table were just like this, but Zhu Biao had no intention of putting them away.

He wasn't worried about what Chu Ze would see, or rather, it didn't matter what he saw.

And the servants also hurriedly brought spare tables, chairs and tea sets.

Because Chu Ze doesn't drink alcohol, but likes to drink tea, so whenever Chu Ze is in the East Palace, Zhu Biao basically asks someone to prepare tea at any time.

It is rare for a prince to consider such subtleties.

"What will your future generations look like? Compared with us today, how big is the gap?"

As soon as the two sat down, Zhu Biao couldn't wait to ask questions.

After Chu Ze looked around, he realized that he didn't know where to start.

From Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to today's Daming, spanning thousands of years of history, the shadow of the past can still be seen today.

But in the hundreds of years that followed, the gap was not so large.

The big one even seems to be completely two worlds.

"Let's put it this way. The era I live in, compared to your current era, the gap is beyond your dreams."

"Nowadays, in your age, what you read is the Four Books and Five Classics, classics of the ancients, military allusions, etc., but in our later generations, we study advanced mathematics, history, physics, and chemistry."

"You travel by walking, by horse-drawn carriage, and we, by bicycle, by train, high-speed rail, or even by plane"

"In war, you rely on iron cavalry and infantry, and use human lives to fill them. An army of millions may be the capital to rule the world."

"But in future generations, we can easily wipe out millions or even tens of millions of people with just one attack. It is not difficult to directly wipe out a city from the world."

"The gap is so big that I don't even know how to describe it."

After listening to Chu Ze's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help flashing a trace of suspicion in his eyes.

in just a few hundred years
Can there really be such a big gap between the two eras?
In the pre-Qin period, people fought on horseback.

Today, people still fight on horseback.

Thousands of years have passed, isn't there such a big gap?
Therefore, Zhu Biao actually had certain suspicions about Chu Ze's words.

It feels like what he said is somewhat untrue.

"I know you may not believe it, but the fact is that from the invention of the first airplane to the man's landing on the moon, that is, the moon. There is only a gap of 66 years."

"For example, let me say that the earth under our feet is actually a ball. Our future generations call it: Earth."

"This is the world we live in. Starting from the east, you will first arrive at the country of Wa, and then sail all the way from the country of Wa, you will reach the two continents called America in later generations, North America and South America. Then you will pass through it, you will Arrive in the Europe of later generations. If you keep going all the way, you will eventually return to Daming from the west."

"The world you know is actually just a fantasy of most people."

"I can tell you very clearly that the dynasties after the Ming Dynasty are nomadic tribes from the north. They ended the rule of the Ming Dynasty and started the Qing Dynasty. As for the aftermath, I don't really want to mention it."

"But you can know one thing. The fighting power of the Ming Dynasty army is at the peak of the world at this time. Especially the navy that Yongle will continue to expand after that, just a little bit, will be able to start the era of great navigation."

"But after that, the civilization on our land was thrown out by dozens of streets by countries in other parts of the world."

"Da Ming is the last glory of our Han people"

The more Chu Ze said, Zhu Biao found that his expression became more and more strange.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and even glanced away, he accidentally discovered that Chu Ze's hands had been tightly held together at some point.

Judging by the expression on his face, it seemed as if he would smash the table directly in the next second.

This move surprised Zhu Biao.

There is hot water on this table, it was scalded!

"Chu Ze. Relax, many things haven't happened yet, and now you have returned to this era, some things may not necessarily happen again, you don't have to."

Although Zhu Biao didn't know what Chu Ze had experienced, but in terms of his current state, something was very wrong.

"Didn't you tell me yourself? Your arrival, for this era, is like a stone falling into the lake."

"The longer you exist, the greater the impact on the future. Maybe you can change everything you know?"

"Aren't you from later generations? Your knowledge can be passed on. Nothing has happened yet, so there is hope for everything, right?"

Under Zhu Biao's comfort, Chu Ze's mood gradually calmed down.

And on his face, the innocence that was harmless to humans and animals appeared again.

Seeing that Chu Ze's mood gradually calmed down, Zhu Biao personally poured him a cup of tea and handed it over slowly.

Looking at the tea pushed by Zhu Biao, Chu Ze couldn't help but feel helpless in his eyes.

"Although it is said so, my existence will change this era step by step, but my life is only a few decades, who knows to what extent?"

"Besides, in the face of the general situation, I, the traverser, am just an ant that may be crushed to death at any time."

"Some things, even if I want to make changes, at least there needs to be a process. Otherwise, under the general trend, the individual will be an ant after all."

If he wants to make a complete change in today's era, the first thing Chu Ze has to face is those who stand at the top of the power pyramid under the current social structure.

Just like today's scholars.

If Chu Ze suddenly proposes reforms, cultural changes and those who care about them will no longer be the mainstream of society.

Scientists, inventors, industries and other factors will gradually become the top of the society and become the objects of people's pursuit.

So how do those scholars who have studied poetry and books since childhood, who are full of everything, and educated by etiquette, deal with themselves?
Besides, if you want to make a change, some things that have existed for a long time must also be destroyed.

And these things are often the capital for many people to settle down today.

If these things are abolished, it is tantamount to breaking their roots.

It's no wonder these people didn't work hard with Chu Ze.

"So, how do you want to face the future? Can you tell me what you think?"

Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze, who was staring at the teacup in a daze, and expressed his opinion for the first time.

"I can feel that you have been deliberately guiding us in a certain direction. Logically speaking, you have ulterior motives. But I don't know why, I just feel that I should trust you."

"If you don't show up, I will be a dying person, and you have saved Xiongying's life. Although I have not said it, I know very well in my heart that I owe you a favor, and this favor is very important. big."

"If I can help you, I will try my best to help you, but the premise is that it must not threaten the foundation of Daming. This is my only bottom line."

"We should be friends, right?"

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Chu Ze gradually came back to his senses.

After raising his head to look at Zhu Biao, Chu Ze raised the teacup on the table and raised his hand at Zhu Biao.

The words were frivolous again.

"Is this considered Longzhong's right? Sit in one place and talk about the world."

"If you insist on saying yes, it's not impossible."

After watching Chu Ze's actions, Zhu Biao slowly raised the teacup in front of him. The two looked at each other and smiled, then raised their heads and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Chu Ze, who put down his teacup, also became a little sharper in his eyes.

"Hu Weiyong's rebellion or something, to me, these things are nothing more than trivial matters. In front of your father, he is just a clown, harmless."

"What really matters is the foundation and future of a country in my eyes."

"Population is one of the foundations of the empire, so the first step we need to do is to increase the population base of Daming. In agriculture, we need to introduce new crops, and at the same time we have to try to breed new crop varieties."

"Send a group of warships to the border of the Americas. There are exaggeratedly high yields of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. If these three crops are obtained, the land of Ming Dynasty will produce at least three or four times more grain."

"Another factor to ensure population growth is medical care. In this regard, my opinion is to bring medical care directly under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court."

"Establishing hospitals and medical schools to ensure the health of the people is also to focus on overcoming some diseases."

"Many medical families in the folk are always passed down from generation to generation, or the believers keep their hands. After a long time, that hand will simply be lost..."

"Priority is to ensure that newborns can afford to feed and live."

"The follow-up questions can only be discussed later."
