I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 142 Human life is not valuable
After returning to the real world, Song Shen was not in a hurry to correct the papers immediately, and he was not prepared to correct them himself.

He just looked through everyone's papers and then called the system.

"System, input the answers to these test questions into the model, and then deduce the results."

[OK host, this will take 6 hours. ]

"no problem."

Song Shen gave the order and agreed decisively.

After saying that, he leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

During the first few classes, he did have an open mindset, but the more classes he attended, the more Song Shen felt that this class was not just for this group of ancient people.

More often than not, he was listening and watching these brightest stars in history twinkle with each other.

To be honest, if there was no system to help, Song Shen would not dare to give them the exam questions this time, because he simply did not have the ability to mark them. He could definitely understand them, but the question was, did he have the ability?

The situation Qin Shi Huang faced was a empire that had just been unified, the descendants of the six kingdoms who were ready to make moves, and the huge contradiction and conflict between the military merit system established by Shang Yang and the direction of Qin's progress.

Zhang Liang and Liu Che were in a much better situation than Ying Zheng. One of them was a sage who knew when to advance and retreat after achieving success, and the other was Emperor Wu of Han who was in his prime and ready to fight the Xiongnu. Liu Che was fine, but Zhang Liang really didn't need to work hard at his age. Or maybe Liu Bang hoped that he would just lie down and become a hermit.

With the four great inventions and subsequent history, these two people could benefit the world.

Li Shimin was also in his prime, in his thirties. As long as he solved the problem of family status and his children's education, there was certainly no way Song Shen could do the rest of what he had not done.

The time travelers are not gods, there are not so many geniuses. Even if Song Shen has a system now, he dare not say that his ability can compare with these perverts. Just look at Chongzhen who was speechless in class today. Even if so many big guys gathered together to help him cheat, he did not dare to refute Song Shen with confidence and say that he could definitely do it.

Having a cheat is one thing, but being able to use it to perfection is another.

Among this group of people, Song Shen was of course more concerned about Zhu Yuanzhang's answer.

Zhu Yuanzhang's answer to the national policy this time was quite comprehensive and perfect.

The first and most important point is the feudal system.

In this plan, all fiefdoms of the vassal kings were abolished, leaving only the titles. All princes who had been granted titles would return to the capital, and from then on they were not allowed to leave the capital without the emperor's order. The hereditary system was also abolished, avoiding the problem of too many royal titles. It was stipulated that only a small number of royal descendants with outstanding merits could inherit the titles.

Song Shen couldn't help but touch his chin:

"This does coincide with what is happening in the court right now...it's just that the starting point is different."

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to call all the princes from Fengyang to Yingtianfu was because something happened in the East Palace and the royal bloodline was in danger, so the princes had to stay under his watch. Even if the decree said that they could never leave Beijing, wasn't the prince system previously set as a national policy that could not be changed? It was changed now.

It can be seen that in the hands of the founding emperor, there is nothing that cannot be changed, it just depends on how he prefers to act.

What's more, the current situation is complicated. Old Zhu may have already developed murderous intentions towards Hu Weiyong and others. Even the outcome of the Hu Weiyong case is uncertain. The direction of events has inexplicably become more and more deviated from the original history. In another two years, the cheat of the time traveler predicting the future may be blocked.

Song Shen's sense of urgency suddenly intensified.

If there is no way to predict the near future, it all depends on the system...

With the character of this dog system, can it be trusted?
Something needs to be done quickly.

He clenched his fists, and in his mind he continued to check the answers that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had submitted as a group assignment.

This is allowed by the rules. Emperors and generals of the same dynasty can work in groups to submit their papers. Of course, this rule is for the benefit of both Song Shen and the students. Just like Ying Zheng and Meng Tian, ​​Li Shimin and his four civil and military officials, they are together, so the answers are of course the same. There is no need to waste time on those fancy things.

The second national policy was to start building ocean-going ships and lift the maritime ban within five years. At the same time, the research on firearms would be put on the agenda, and the Shenjinying of the Yongle period would be developed ahead of schedule. The goal was to bring the entire Liaodong region under the rule of the Ming Dynasty within five years and to set sail from the Liaodong Peninsula to capture Japan.

Song Shen was not surprised by this.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a very stingy person. After knowing that Japan had so many gold and silver mines, there was no way he could resist.

Of course, Song Shen did not tell them in class that many of Japan's mineral deposits are not so easy to dig. Only Iwami Silver Mine and a few scattered islands can be piled up with labor. Many of the others require the use of modern facilities. Otherwise, not only labor, but also lives.

He didn't say it because this group of ambitious and wolf-like people needed a huge and thick carrot hanging in front of them.

From the perspective of interests, it would be more cost-effective to attack other places, such as Liaodong, the grasslands in the north, or even Southeast Asia and America. After all, a place like Japan, where there is no one and natural disasters are frequent, and where the emperor of the Central Plains needs to confer a title, is not suitable for living at all, and does not conform to the farming genes engraved in the bones of the Chinese nation.

But from a selfish point of view, Song Shen hopes that all dynasties can use the ancient version of the little boy to nuke that damn place without harming their own interests.

It's a simulation anyway, so what does it matter if it's a little brutal? It makes me feel better!
Moreover, even if we take a step back, what does it have to do with them if mining is difficult? There are so many savages on the island, just whip them and let them dig, and fill it with human lives, it's not the lives of their own family members.

Song Shen felt that he was a good person.

He himself is now in the tenth year of Hongwu, and with the reputation of being Liu Bowen's disciple, he has been here for so long but has not yet pretended to be a ghost and instigated Empress Ma to whisper in Zhu Baba's ear, asking Zhu to prepare to raze the island country. How can this not be considered a kind of dark kindness!

"I'm such a good person!"

Song Shen patted his chest, feeling deeply that he was really kind, and then continued to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's paper.

Article 3...

His gaze suddenly paused, staring at eyes that did not exist in his consciousness.

Within five years, we will clean up the atmosphere in the imperial court, confiscate the property and behead all officials who are corrupt, form cliques for personal gain, and annex land, no matter how high the official is, we will chop off as many as we can, all of them will be chopped off! We must punish them all!
Damn it.

What the hell!

Isn't this the Hu Weiyong case?

…………

Kunning Palace.

All the palace servants were driven out, leaving only the family of three sitting inside, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhu Di was not here today. He was busy dealing with Xu Yungong about flintlock rifles. He also had to take care of his wife and the eldest son in her belly. He was very busy recently. Only Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and Zhu Biao were in the palace.

After a long while, Zhu Biao rubbed his hands and spoke nervously:
"Dad, don't you think there's an answer in the test paper that's particularly taboo? Song Shen mentioned it before. According to the original history, he should have been implicated in that big case and died innocently. You wrote this directly into the answer. Isn't it a bit too much..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said nothing.

Although Empress Ma knew about the exam, she didn't know what the two of them had discussed and answered. Upon hearing this, she frowned and asked:
"Which one are you talking about?"

Zhu Biao sighed and told his mother the third national policy in the paper in detail.

As expected, Empress Ma's reaction was the same as Zhu Biao's before.

She slammed the table and stood up and said angrily:

"Isn't this nonsense!"

"Whatever you want to do, just do it quietly. If it doesn't work, you can ask in class when you find a suitable time. Why do you have to write it on the test paper this time? What if Song Shen is superstitious? Wouldn't we lose to other dynasties?"

"Zhu Chongba, ask yourself, has Song Shen done his best for the Zhu family and the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, it was me who summoned him first, but if he wasn't devoted to the country and the king, he would never have risked telling the East Palace about my death."

"He gave potatoes to Zhang Wei because he wanted Zhang Wei to grow them and then present them to the court. He taught you 'Chen Guorui' to make alcohol because he saw Chen Guorui's extraordinary ability and knew that he couldn't keep it in his hands, so he was going to give it away. He gave half of the flintlock blueprint to Xu Yungong because he knew that Yungong's kid was a good father and he would tell Tiande if he figured it out."

"One thing after another, with a sincere heart, do you have to be like this?!"

"Wait until you scare them away and leave Yingtian Prefecture to hide. I'll see how you cry then!"

Queen Ma was really angry. After venting her anger in one breath, she felt dizzy and held the table with her hands covering her temples.

Zhu Biao was frightened and hurried forward to support his mother. He also repeatedly called on the palace servants outside the door to bring up ginseng tea so that Empress Ma could calm down.

"Sister, why are you so angry? If you are angry, can't you listen to my explanation? It will be bad if you get sick!"

The person who was most frightened was Zhu Yuanzhang.

He had always been worried about the fact that his wife would die in five years. When he found out, he was afraid that something might happen to his wife and children, so he asked the imperial physician to take Empress Ma's pulse three times a day. He almost put her under house arrest.

Queen Ma gritted her teeth and glared at her husband:

"Why didn't you explain when Biaoer brought this up just now? Did you open your mouth because I got angry?"

Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head and said helplessly:
"There's nothing we can do."

"The Yiluansi has been keeping an eye on our old buddies for years. They may not be treasonous, but there are countless people who are forming cliques and engaging in corruption and bribery. In addition to Hu Weiyong, there are many who are following behind our good prime minister to make money. There are fewer among the military generals, but the civil officials... are too greedy."

"Do you know that in Fengyang, our hometown, they have only taken over all the land in Fengyang except the Zhu family's!"

"People must be killed. The only difference is how many. If you want to make an example of them, you have to chop off enough heads and make rivers of blood. Otherwise, they won't learn their lesson."

"We have warned them, warned them, and even let them go many times. If we don't take action now, they may think that we are easy to bully just because we are the emperor!"

Queen Ma was silent for a moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang was her husband's bedside man, and she had accompanied him every step of the way. She knew best the hardships Zhu Yuanzhang had endured over the decades.

Among those who now bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang in the court, how many of them had called her sister-in-law, and how many had let her hold their own children? She couldn't even count them all.

They had all fought with Zhu Yuanzhang on the battlefield, through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The civil servants had also stayed up all night for the war. After defeating the Mongols, they had to fight Chen Youliang, and after defeating Chen Youliang, there was Zhang Shicheng, and then they continued to fight from south to north until they took over the entire Ming Dynasty.

How deep is the friendship?

As a result, the world was peaceful in the end, the Mongols fled, and the Ming Dynasty prospered over the next ten years. The old friends began to be greedy and enjoy themselves, and even began to ignore the words of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Huh."

Queen Ma sighed and let out a breath:

"No matter what you want to do, I still say the same thing - why did you write such a thing on this paper? You know what Song Shen is afraid of."

Zhu Biao also nodded vigorously beside him.

He pulled his father's sleeve and said:

"Dad, next time during class, find a reason to apologize to him, okay? You don't have to do it yourself. I'll apologize to him on your behalf."

If it were in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would have been unable to resist and would have agreed directly if his wife and son had joined forces to attack him.

But today he didn't.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows slowly furrowed, his face full of confusion:

"Why do you think this matter cannot be discussed?"

"It's a taboo, but is there anything inappropriate about the reasons we gave on the test paper?"

"When we were herding cattle for others, if the cattle were lost and died in our hands, our family couldn't afford to pay for it, so we would have to pay with our lives."

"When we were monks, we kowtowed and begged for alms. To put it nicely, we were begging, but to put it bluntly, we were beggars. Whether in the past or now, a beggar's life is not considered a life. If you say something auspicious, you will be beaten and scolded for anything. Even if you are beaten to death, no one will come to collect your body."

"How many of those old guys in the court had a good life in the beginning? If they had a good life, they would not have joined the army in rebellion. But now that they are in high positions and have power, they have forgotten their past. As officials of the Ming Dynasty, they are doing the things that the officials they hated the most decades ago did. We have tried to persuade them and pointed them out, but they just won't listen. Who knows, they are even thinking about how to overthrow our annoying emperor."

"In that case, what are you waiting for if you don't kill him?"

"When we were young, our lives were worthless. Does that mean we can stop being killed now that we are officials?"
