Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Upon hearing what Mei Yin said, Crown Prince Zhu Biao was stunned.

The whole person seemed particularly surprised.

Before this, no matter what he thought, he never expected that what Mei Yin would say to him at this time would be this.

It was indeed completely beyond his expectations.

This was something he had never thought about before.

Set up a school to learn and teach these tricks.

This is something that no one has ever mentioned before.

Even many people, including him, have never thought about it.

After all, things like machinery have always been passed down freely among the people.

Either it is passed down from father to son, or one becomes an apprentice.

There are other inheritance methods

These are quite common.

However, among these kinds of inheritance, there is no establishment of an academy for learning as Mei Yin mentioned.

However, while feeling unexpected.

Thinking about it again, I suddenly realized that some things were different.

And I feel that everything makes sense.

After all, my second brother-in-law is different from ordinary people.

After all, he is my second brother-in-law, and he has all kinds of wonderful ideas coming out of him.

No one can match him in terms of ingenuity.

Whether it is the brand new gunpowder formula or the extremely powerful artillery.

Or maybe a flintlock rifle or many other things.

All of these showed how capable her second brother-in-law was in terms of ingenuity.

And these are indeed beneficial to the country and the people.

Of course, my second brother-in-law is more than just these tricks.

The rest of the article is also very insightful.

He can easily come up with various good strategies for governing the country.

It always makes people applaud.

The Ming Dynasty benefited greatly from this.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mei Yin and said, "Second brother-in-law, why did you suddenly think of this?"

Mei Yin said: "During this time, I have been thinking about related matters and considering how to make my Ming Dynasty prosperous and strong.

After much thought, I feel that it is just relying on grammar.

It is still not enough and the effect is limited.

In other words, grammar has reached its peak so far and it is difficult to achieve any breakthroughs or significant results.

Needs to be supplemented by something else.

The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans are good at thinking and can make and use tools.

I think we can make more efforts in the tool aspect.

Make more and more useful tools.

Things like grammar are a person's inner spirit and skeleton.

The clever part is the meat on the outside.

Bones without flesh cannot last long, and flesh without bones cannot stand up.

The two need to assist each other to achieve such good results and go further.

This kind of thing cannot be studied by one person alone, and it is also not feasible for people from the public to do scattered research. The efficiency is simply too low.

It is necessary to systematically teach and train the corresponding talents so that they can be developed as quickly as possible.

Let it play an extraordinary role in the development of the Ming Dynasty and find a better way for our Ming Dynasty.

After hearing Mei Yin's words, Zhu Biao fell into deep thought, thinking about this matter.

On the one hand, this matter can be said to be earth-shattering!
This was something he had never thought of before.

If this is really done in the future, it can be said to be a precedent for all ages!

Moreover, he had no idea what would happen after these things were actually implemented.

Is it good or bad.

Of course, in addition to this, he also needs to consider the impact.

Once this kind of thing really happens.

In the future, many scholars and even many high-ranking officials in the court will definitely have strong opinions about this.

Say a lot of words.

My second brother-in-law will definitely attract a lot of criticism because of this...

Mei Yin was not surprised to see Crown Prince Zhu Biao remain silent.

After all, this matter seems very normal in later generations.

However, at this moment, it really has a huge impact!
Even if it was Crown Prince Zhu Biao, if he suddenly heard himself say such words at this time, he would definitely appear extremely confused and indecisive.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Biao seemed to have made some decisions. He looked at Mei Yin and said carefully: "Brother-in-law, your idea... is indeed very good.

The matter of ingenuity is indeed of great use to the country, but..."

As soon as Mei Yin heard Zhu Biao mention "but", he knew that this matter might have some twists and turns.

Not that easy.

“But there really has been no precedent for this before.

Once this is done, the second brother-in-law will become the target of public criticism.

The situation will be quite bad.

What do those officials who come from educated backgrounds, as well as the numerous scholars, say about these people...

There may be concessions on other matters.

But in terms of education and other aspects, the unity is amazing.

Many people can easily dismiss ingenuity as a gimmick.

Since the hundreds of other schools of thought were abolished and Confucianism was the only one respected.

Confucianism has been working tirelessly on this matter.

It allows other things to be integrated into Confucianism and absorbed by Confucianism.

But they absolutely do not want to see anything new deviating from Confucianism.

Exist independently.

Moreover, ingenuity itself is looked down upon by many people.

If we set up special colleges to teach these things.

That would deeply stimulate many people.

Second brother-in-law, if you want to do this, you must think it over carefully.

Once this kind of thing is done, my second brother-in-law's life will definitely not be so peaceful.

It will inevitably lead to a lot of criticism.”

After hearing what Crown Prince Zhu Biao said, Mei Yin's heart moved, and he already understood his brother-in-law's attitude on this matter.

My brother-in-law has actually agreed to this matter.

He immediately said, "Brother, it's okay.

How can one live in this world without being talked about by others?

As the saying goes, who is not talked about by others, and who doesn’t talk about others behind their back?

None of this matters to me.

I'm not the kind of person who cares too much about what others think, as long as they don't reach my ears.

Some of the things I hear reach my ears, some I don’t, but it doesn’t disturb my mood.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t say it in front of me.

When the time comes, I will let them see whether their mouths are harder or my fists are harder!

Let them see what a crude warrior is!"

Mei Yin clenched his fists as he said this.

He is still very interested in beating up those who are particularly mean-mouthed.

Especially in this era, the pretentious and stupid literati are severely beaten.

It also has extraordinary interests.

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao saw Mei Yin's reaction, he couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

"If you think so, then I feel relieved."

Mei Yin said: "Brother, these scholars cannot be completely classified as a whole.

There are also many branches inside.

Not everyone is like them, ignorant, pedantic, conservative and arrogant.

They only think about consolidating their interests and guarding their own little piece of land.

Even if there is a huge flood, it has nothing to do with them.

It doesn't matter what is right or wrong, it only matters the stance.

For example, Mr. Qingtian and some other people are quite nice and open-minded.

Why has Confucianism been able to flourish and develop?
In addition to abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, the most important thing is to be inclusive.

Keep filling it with new things.

Only by adapting to the new environment can it be passed down to the present day.

I think Confucianism is a little too calm now.

Too decadent.

At this time, it is necessary to introduce something new into it.

Of course, what Big Brother said is just between the two of us.

I know that you, brother, are also studying Confucianism.

It might not be nice to say this to your face.

But these are the facts.

I may be a bit blunt, but don't take it too seriously, just understand what I mean."

Hearing what Mei Yin said, Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded seriously.

“Yes, second brother-in-law, you speak very straight.

You dare to catch my father and make death-defying remonstrations again and again.

Compared to your death-defying remonstrance to my father, what you are saying to me now is so much too late, so tactful and so gentle!
Hahaha……"

Zhu Biao, with a serious face, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. It's not like you to be so tactful now.

I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand things.

I will definitely not have any opinion about you because of what you, my second brother-in-law, said.

I was indeed exposed to Confucianism since I was a child.

However, if my second brother-in-law thinks I am an extremely pedantic and conservative scholar, he is wrong.

I understand and study Confucianism.

It's true that I agree with a lot of their stuff.

But I am different from them, and I am fundamentally different.

I am the crown prince and the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Although I have accepted these, the things I see are naturally different because I am standing in a different position.

Confucianism is indeed good.

As many subjects, it is best for them to study hard, which is beneficial to their rule.

However, a crown prince or an emperor cannot accept all these things. He needs to have his own opinions and considerations.

Know what works and what doesn’t.”

After hearing what Crown Prince Zhu Biao said, Mei Yin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This was indeed a place he had not expected.

In later generations, he knew a lot about Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

After coming here, I also have a lot of opinions.

There is no doubt that Crown Prince Zhu Biao is known as the most stable crown prince in history.

Zhu Biao was indeed very attentive to his younger brothers and sisters.

Excellent in every aspect.

But Mei Yin had never thought of the attitude towards Confucianism, because that was the trend of the time.

Zhu Biao also had a teacher named Song Lian.

There must be a lot of influence from Confucianism.

Now, after hearing what Zhu Biao said, Mei Yin realized that he had many misunderstandings about Zhu Biao in this matter.

After being surprised, I suddenly felt delighted.

Since Zhu Biao has such an attitude towards this matter, many things will be easier to handle afterwards.

If history had gone as it happened, Zhu Biao would have been able to take over the throne from Zhu Yuanzhang smoothly.

Then many things will become very different.

This also further strengthened Mei Yin's determination to find ways to save his life and that of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

"Brother-in-law, I understand what you mean.

Ingenuity is indeed very important.

It's also a big deal.

It’s just… it’s impossible to make a big fuss and do it on a large scale right from the start.

Even if it's me and my father, there has to be a reason if we want to give our full support.

So, my second brother-in-law, it is better for you to set up a primary school first and figure it out on your own.

Find more experience here.

It’s the same as if you were growing sweet potatoes in this greenhouse and were looking for experience for next year.”

Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked at Mei Yin and said these words.

This is an unprecedented thing. If someone else had proposed it, it would have been impossible to get Zhu Biao to agree so smoothly.

But now, the one who proposed these things was Mei Yin, the second brother-in-law.

Mei Yin had already gained the trust of Zhu Biao and others through his previous magical powers.

Let him see what he is capable of.

More importantly, he deeply realized the huge value of the gunpowder, glass, cement and many other things that Mei Yin had obtained.

That's why I agreed so readily at this time.

But at the same time, one thing is clear.

That is, it can be done, but it is impossible to do it on a large scale from the beginning.

It can only be done on a small scale.

To put it bluntly, Mei Yin wants to use actual results to prove to people like him and many others in the world that Mei Yin's idea is correct.

It can really achieve dazzling results.

Only in this way will they have a reason to show off.

We will implement this matter next.

I know what Zhu Biao thinks about this matter.

Mei Yin was not surprised by this.

This was no different from some of the results he had thought of before.

After all, this is a new thing with far-reaching implications.

It was impossible for Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang to directly elevate these to the highest level.

It may be necessary to take it step by step.

"Okay, I'll start doing this next year.

Once we achieve some success, we can silence the world’s gossips.”

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao heard what Mei Yin said, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He still had some concerns that his second brother-in-law would feel that he did not strongly support him after hearing his decision on this matter.

I will feel angry.

Now it seems that this is not the case. My second brother-in-law is a very reasonable person.

Know what can be done, and also know what is particularly difficult to do.

Right here, I discussed with Mei Yin how I was going to teach next.

Mei Yin told Crown Prince Zhu Biao some of his ideas.

After hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao sometimes nodded and sometimes frowned in thought.

Occasionally some opinions were given.

“From now on, we will not only teach them these things, but also teach them to read and write, and teach them to be loyal and patriotic.

We need to teach some Confucian concepts of benevolence, righteousness, reason and belief in these things.

The only way is to correct their three views.

I do this in order to train people who are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty.

Instead of having talent and knowledge, they are extremely opposed to the Ming Dynasty, or they become crazy people who do harm to the world.

It would be better not to teach."

After hearing Mei Yin say this, the last bit of worry in Zhu Biao's heart disappeared at once.

He knew that his second brother-in-law had considered this very comprehensively.

Far better than I imagined.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was planning to go back that same day.

But because I was talking about these things with Mei Yin, I became fascinated by it.

So that night, he stayed at Mei Yin's place.

We had a candlelight night chat.

It was not until late at night that they finally went to bed.

If it were during the Three Kingdoms period, they would have to sleep with their feet touching to show their seriousness...

The next day, Crown Prince Zhu Biao left Mei Yin.

There is a lot of excitement in my heart.

He felt that he had obtained something very unusual from his second brother-in-law.

It is very likely that some extraordinary changes will occur in his Ming Dynasty next.

But there are also some concerns.

I'm afraid that some unnecessary trouble will arise in the future.

Although now, what my second brother-in-law is doing is just small-scale things.

It seems that the impact is not too great.

But if it is promoted in the future, what will be the result?

He was not sure whether it was a blessing or a curse for the Ming Dynasty...

After returning to the palace, Zhu Biao went directly to the Wuying Hall to see his father.

On the one hand, it was because he knew that his father was always cursing.

In fact, I am particularly concerned about the things happening in Shuangshui Village.

On the other hand, I got a lot of very important things from my second brother-in-law this time.

It is necessary to talk to your father as soon as possible.

And he also knew that his second brother-in-law had explained some things to him so clearly.

In fact, it’s not just for myself.

More importantly, I said this to my father.

I want to tell these to myself and my father through myself.

After all, no matter what, my father is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

He is the one who is truly in power.

"Is Biaoer back?"

Looking at Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke with a smile.

Zhu Biao saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then he said: "Father, I have something to tell you."

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.

He seldom saw his family emblem look so solemn.

Then, he became serious.

And I also thought about the reason behind the incident.

"Is it this kid Mei Yin who is very dissatisfied with our arrangement for Zhu Liangzu and is throwing a tantrum?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked.

He has now confirmed that this is the case.

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "It's not about this. My second brother-in-law doesn't have any special feelings about this.

Didn't say anything.

I can understand my father's behavior.

I just want to remind you to pay attention to Zhu Liangzu and not to do anything bad when you get there."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed a little surprised when he heard this.

Isn't this the case?
What is that?
Biaoer went to Shuangshui Village this time just for this matter.

Since Mei Yin has no opinion on this matter.

How did the sign become like this?

Could it be... that there are some other discoveries?
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts, Zhu Biao immediately told him what Mei Yin had said...

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was shocked.

The look changed.

However, he soon fell into deep thought again.

Zhu Biao told Zhu Yuanzhang all this in detail.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was filled with shock...

This was something he had never thought of before.

Mei Yin, this bastard son-in-law, is really like that. When nothing happens, he will make a big trouble for himself.

After doing this, he didn't know whether the effect was good or not.

But he knew that once it was exposed, it would definitely shock many writers.

"Biao'er, your way of handling this is very good.

We can indeed agree to implement this on a small scale first.

Let’s try it first.”

"Father, you said that from now on...if things get serious and cannot be controlled, will it cause a lot of harm to the Ming Dynasty?
And there are so many writers..."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head upon hearing this:
"Biao'er, you can think so, but you don't have to worry so much.

When doing things, you should not be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind.

Just do it.

As for the opinions of those Confucian scholars, if what Mei Yin created is really useful, there is no need to listen to them too much.

I just listen to them chattering and can't get much done.

Do it first and talk about it later.

We have always been thinking about making our Ming Dynasty surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties.

But the Han and Tang dynasties have already taken the path that should be taken.

Many situations now are different from those in the Han and Tang dynasties.

But in fact, in our opinion, overall, we should continue to move forward along the path of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

If we continue like this, it may be possible to catch up with the Han and Tang dynasties.

But it is not easy to surpass the Han and Tang dynasties.

If we want to surpass the Han and Tang dynasties, we must take new steps.

Do something new.

I think that this matter might come down to what Mei Yin said.

Just do it and see what he can come up with.

Even if there are some bad consequences, we can bear them!! "

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked extremely charming.

Some have great courage and broad mind.

Many people, led by Song Lian, were still seeking to take the imperial examinations.

But they didn't know that something earth-shaking had already happened.

Their old ways are about to be overturned!! (End of this chapter)
