Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 558 It must be Ouyang Lun's doing! (Subscribe please!!)

"Sister, you heard everything just now!"

"The culprit who caused our grandchildren so much pain is Ouyang Lun!"

After Old Liu left, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately turned gloomy.

"Chongming, I think Ouyang has his reasons for doing this. Old Liu also heard about it. We still need to look at the questions Ouyang Lun gave his grandchildren to understand!"

Queen Ma thought about it and spoke.

"That sister is you. According to my temper, I will go and cause trouble for Ouyang Lun right now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Let's go back first and let Ji Gang investigate in detail. Once we get to the bottom of this, we can settle the score with Ouyang Lun!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang took Empress Ma's hand and left.
Taile Palace.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had returned from the clan house for a long time.

Now in front of them is a test paper titled "Da Ming Sixth Grade Mathematics Test Paper"

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were staring at the test paper in front of them with dazed eyes.

"Girl, how difficult do you think this test is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked somewhat awkwardly.

"It's difficult! I can only answer three or four out of ten questions, and there's no guarantee that they're correct." Queen Ma shook her head.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved. After all, he spent a long time looking at the math test paper and could only answer one question. He almost doubted whether there was something wrong with his IQ or whether his brain was no longer useful because he was old.

It was not until Empress Ma said that she couldn't do it either that Zhu Yuanzhang was sure that it was not because he was bad, but because the question was too difficult.

"Humph!"

"What we are saying is that it must be Ouyang Lun's doing!"

"Xiong Ying, Ping An, and Yun Wen are still so young, and Ouyang Lun makes them learn this. This is not to let them learn knowledge, but to ask for their lives!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became furious.

"Ji Gang!"

"Are you sure this is for Xiongying, Heian and others to use for their exams?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, these test papers were copied from the Imperial Clan Bureau. There is absolutely no mistake. These are for the examinations of the young princes!"

Ji Gang replied quickly.

"In that case, go and call the emperor over to me now!"

"Yes!"

Ji Gang bowed and quickly left the Taiyue Hall.

After a while, Zhu Biao rushed over.

"Your son greets his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen!"

Even though Zhu Biao was breathing heavily, he immediately saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.

"Mother, you look much better. I am very happy for you!" Zhu Biao continued.

"It's good to rest here with your father. You will feel more energetic. Biao'er doesn't need to worry too much." Queen Ma said with a smile.

Zhu Biao nodded, and then continued to ask: "Father, why did Ji Gang call me here so anxiously? Is there something important to arrange?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, how are you arranging for Xiongying and Yunwen to study with Ouyang Lun?"

"In reply to your Majesty, after I communicated with you that day, I called my brother-in-law Ouyang to discuss the matter. Now Xiongying and Yunwen are already in the clan house!" Zhu Biao responded immediately.

"Oh! Xiongying and Yunwen have already gone to the clan house? Then do you know how Ouyang Lun educates my grandchildren?"

Zhu Yuanzhang certainly knew that Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen were already in the clan house, because he saw it with his own eyes, but Zhu Yuanzhang just asked on purpose.

"Of course I know!"

"And Xiongying, Zhu Yunwen and the others are in very good condition now!"

Zhu Biao nodded.

"Is it really that good? Why is what we know different from what you know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

kindness! ?

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao was stunned and asked quickly: "Did your Majesty hear any bad remarks? Your Majesty, those are just rumors. Please don't get angry!"

"Humph!"

"Look at it yourself. Is this kind of test paper something that young kids like Xiongying and Yunwen can handle?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and threw the test paper in front of Zhu Biao, saying in a deep voice.

"This test paper is extremely difficult. Your mother and I spent a long time looking at it and we were only able to answer half of the questions. How can we ask Xiongying, Ping'an and the others to do this?
"In my opinion, these children should be taught the Four Books and Five Classics. Ouyang Lun just likes to do these fancy things!"

"Either you give us a reasonable answer today, or you take Xiongying and Yunwen back from Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"In the future, Ouyang Lun will not be allowed to teach the children of the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that he will teach them bad things. I am even more afraid that he will teach them bad things!"

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang could be said to be firing on all cylinders. When Zhu Yuanzhang was speaking, Zhu Biao had no chance to explain at all!
"Father, may I speak now?"

"Okay, you say it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was probably tired of talking, so he nodded.

"Father, this is what happened. When I handed the child over to my brother-in-law Ouyang Lun, he specifically proposed to use his unique educational method!"

Zhu Biao explained.

"So you agree?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked. "Yes!" Zhu Biao nodded, "Father, don't you agree to this, too?"

"I agreed, but I didn't ask you to let Ouyang Lun raise you and teach you!"

"The test papers set by Ouyang Lun are so difficult for us and your mother to finish, not to mention Xiongying, Yunwen and others! Isn't this making things difficult for the children? What other use is there?" Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

"Father, it's not just you and mother that find it difficult to understand. I find it hard to understand as well. I always feel sleepy when I try to study," Zhu Biao said helplessly.

"Since you can't do it, why do you let the children do it? Your mother and I will feel so sad when we see the children with sad faces! Is this how we let you teach children?" Zhu Yuanzhang started to scold.

"Father, please don't worry. Although we find learning very difficult, it is much easier for children to learn than for us, and they have a stronger ability to learn. I heard that Xiongying and the others have already passed the exam. There is nothing wrong with Brother-in-law Ouyang's teaching method!"

"Brother-in-law Ouyang Lun also told me that if Ming wants to continue to develop, then we must learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well. As a prince of Ming, we must learn in advance. Otherwise, how can we lead Ming to glory in the future? "

The more Zhu Biao spoke, the more excited he became, while the more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the gloomier his expression became.

"Ouyang Lun, Ouyang Lun, you keep talking about Ouyang Lun. Do you believe everything Ouyang Lun says?" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded, "We asked you to use Ouyang Lun well, not to listen to him in everything! Is he the emperor or are you the emperor?"

"You just said that there is nothing wrong with Ouyang Lun's education method. If there is nothing wrong with it, then why is our grandson so sad?!"

"In my opinion, it was Ouyang Lun who bullied me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfiedly.

"Father, have you been to the clan house? Why haven't I heard about it?" Zhu Biao asked curiously.

"Hehe, this is not important, don't change the subject!" Zhu Yuanzhang said awkwardly.

"Father, perhaps you have misunderstood. The reason why Xiongying and the others are so worried is that they are thinking about those problems. As they study more deeply, they have developed a great interest in knowledge related to mathematics, physics and chemistry, and they insist on studying every day!" Zhu Biao explained with a smile.

"Zhu Biao, do you think I'm old and confused? Are you trying to deceive me with these words?"

After hearing Zhu Biao's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang became even angrier. After all, Zhu Biao's explanation was really hard to believe.

"Father, everything I said is true!"

"Brother-in-law Ouyang said that math, physics and chemistry are actually 'science', which can also be described as technology. The strength of a country's technology directly affects the overall strength of a country!"

"Mathematics, physics and chemistry are the foundation. Laying a solid foundation will give rise to even more powerful productivity."

"At first, I didn't understand what Brother-in-law Ouyang meant, and I was confused, but he gave me a few examples."

When Zhu Biao got to this point, he did not start speaking directly, but looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with an inquiring look.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to listen. He just wanted to call Ouyang Lun over, criticize him severely, and save his grandchildren from Ouyang Lun's clutches.

But Empress Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.

After being married for so many years, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood the meaning of Empress Ma's look.

"Go ahead and tell me what you have to say!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to listen to his explanation, Zhu Biao immediately smiled and said, "Father, Mother, the examples that Brother-in-law Ouyang gave me are all very familiar to us."

"Father, do you still remember our private visit to Beizhili to visit our fourth sister?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes. Of course he remembered it. "That was in Kaiping County. I'm not afraid to tell you that I never had such a strong desire to kill someone at that time! Who knew that Ouyang Lun, that bastard, would live for so long!"

"If we had just killed this guy like that, there wouldn't have been so many problems later!"

"There won't be so many things happening, but the people of the Ming Dynasty are probably still hungry now?" Queen Ma joked.

"Uh..." Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and said unhappily, "Biao'er, just give an example, why bring up the past?"

"Father, the example I want to talk about is the road that amazed us at that time!" Zhu Biao sighed: "When I saw such a flat and solid road for the first time, I almost thought I was hallucinating!"

“That road is simply the work of gods!”

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded, "That road is indeed magical, but now all the major provinces, prefectures and even counties in my Ming Dynasty have such roads."

"Father, don't you want to know how brother-in-law Ouyang created this road?" Zhu Biao asked immediately.

"It's not like I haven't asked before. Didn't Ouyang Lun say that this was the recipe he learned in his dream, and he tried it and succeeded." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang said that this is false. The real reason is that he has mastered knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry!" Zhu Biao said.

"It's fake! How dare Ouyang Lun deceive the emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

“Uh” Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment. He ignored this and quickly explained: “Father, Brother-in-law Ouyang did not mean to deceive the emperor. It was just that the situation at that time did not allow it. Even if he said it, no one would believe it, so he made up a reason. Moreover, Brother-in-law Ouyang said that this was not completely made up. He did have a very long dream, and the world in the dream was very different from our Ming Dynasty!”

"You've been having a long dream. He must be fooling you again!" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

"Zhongba, let's listen to Biao'er. I am very curious about the real reason for building the road!" Queen Ma said.

"Father, mother, we all know that to build a smooth cement road, we need a material called cement. Do you know how cement is made?" Zhu Biao smiled and continued, "This involves mathematics, physics and chemistry."

"The first step is to crush limestone, water, iron ore and other materials together, and then mix them evenly. The second step is to control the proportion of raw materials. Generally speaking, cement powder only accounts for about 40%, and other raw materials account for about 60%. The proportion is determined according to the needs of different building structures. The third step is to mix all the raw materials evenly after they are crushed into powder. The fourth step is to preheat the raw materials and decompose some of the required chemical components, while the unnecessary components are discarded. The fifth step is to burn them into cement clinker. Put the decomposed raw materials into the kiln and burn them until they become liquid. The sixth step is to dry and grind them into powder. That is, dry the liquid cement first, then grind it into powder, and finally pack it in packaging bags."

"This involves a lot of chemical reactions. Only by mastering the knowledge involved can we understand the essence of things!!"

"The second example is that building a tall house requires steel! The refining of steel uses iron ore, coke, limestone, and air. This is also technology."

"The third example is the various statistics of the Ministry of Revenue, which use a lot of mathematical knowledge!!"

"Especially mathematics, Brother-in-law Ouyang said that future development will require a lot of data calculations. What can be done and what cannot be done can all be judged through mathematics!"

"In the future, mathematics, physics and chemistry will be involved in every aspect and every industry of our Ming Dynasty!"

"In the words of Brother-in-law Ouyang, there will be a revolution in the future of Ming Dynasty!"

"I think what Brother-in-law Ouyang said is very right, so it is very important to let Xiongying, Yunwen and others learn these things in advance. Even if it will be a little tiring, it is worth it."

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's originally angry expression gradually calmed down.

It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply touched by the examples given by Zhu Biao. He had witnessed them with his own eyes. Now, after hearing Zhu Biao's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang had a deeper understanding of "mathematics, physics, chemistry" and "science and technology".

If Zhu Yuanzhang had heard this before the road was built, he would have thought it was just a fantasy.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang gradually believed that this was a way to develop the Ming Dynasty, and it was a very smart way! !
