Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 44 Zhu Yuanzhang was horrified. The corrupt officials were here in Chu Nan, and their bodies would be used!

Chu Nan continued: "Why are the war horses in the north so strong? It's because the north is full of grasslands, which are suitable for grazing and can raise war horses."

"The reason why people in the south are all farming is because the climate in the south is suitable, the land is good, and the food grows fast. In some places, three crops can be harvested in a year."

"All of this is caused by the environment. If we want to change all of this, we have to change the environment. Therefore, the best way to deal with the Beiyuan people is to change the environment."

"So brilliant?" After hearing Chu Nan's words, everyone present was shocked.

If Chu Nan's words were really followed and the environment of the Northern Yuan people was changed into one that was not suitable for their survival, it would be very disadvantageous to the Northern Yuan people.

"But this idea is easy to think of, but very difficult to implement." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head after hearing this.

"Although I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I cannot change the environment of a place. If I had such a powerful ability, the Northern Yuan Dynasty would have been destroyed by me long ago."

For an emperor, dignity is very important. He will never admit that he is incompetent or that there is something he cannot do.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang had to admit that he really could not change the environment of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which showed his honesty and the fact that it was completely impossible to implement this plan.

The princes also frowned, this plan was too unrealistic.

Liu Bowen also nodded. Chu Nan's strategy was a bit like Zhao Kuo's, which was just talk on paper.

But when Chu Nan heard their shock, his expression was very calm.

"It is indeed difficult to change the environment, but it is not impossible. With a small change, it is still possible."

"Then how do we change it?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little anxious. You can't always say that you can change it. You have to tell us how to change it, otherwise it will just be empty talk.

After listening to this, Chu Nan remained calm: "It's very simple."

Then his face turned serious and two words popped out of his mouth: "Poison."

"What!" After hearing Chu Nan's words, everyone present was shocked.

No wonder you, Chu Nan, always come up with evil schemes and you are a vicious person. It turns out you can really poison people. You are so cruel.

If poisoning really took place and turned the Northern Yuan Dynasty into a vicious place, it would have indeed changed the environment and caused great casualties to the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

However, after being shocked, Zhu Yuanzhang still frowned.

"Poison? How do you poison? Are you going to poison the entire area where the Northern Yuan is active? That would require too much poison, right?"

"Yes." The princes also nodded.

"Poison is very expensive, and the Northern Yuan's ruling area is so large, how can we afford it?"

"This is probably more gold and silver than the cost of sending out hundreds of thousands of troops. This method won't work."

They all shook their heads, thinking that this method wouldn't work.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" But when Chu Nan heard that they rejected his idea, he remained calm.

"When I say poison, I definitely don't mean poison. How big a dose would that require?"

He knew that poison was very expensive in ancient times, so he definitely didn't use poison.

"What is that?" They were puzzled. How could it be called poisoning if there was no poison?

"Who poisoned him?" Chu Nan shook his head when he heard it.

"After drinking the poison, people will suffer from unbearable abdominal pain and die in agony. How cruel it is! The poison I used is definitely not poison."

"When I say poisoning, I actually mean taking advantage of disease." Then his face turned serious.

"Your Majesty, haven't you arrested a lot of corrupt officials recently? Some have been executed, but there are still some that are probably still under trial and haven't been executed yet."

"Then don't rush to kill these corrupt officials. Arrange people to secretly transport them to the Beiyuan side. Once you get to the Beiyuan people's water source, chop them into pieces and hide them in the Beiyuan people's water source. Just don't let the Beiyuan people find them."

"If this goes on for a long time, it will cause a plague. If the people and livestock of the Northern Yuan Dynasty drink that water, they will get the disease. With the medical conditions of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, how can they treat this disease?"

"By that time, wouldn't the living environment of the Beiyuan people have changed? Would it have become a poisonous place with plague? Would the Beiyuan people still be able to survive? So this is the best plan for me to govern the Beiyuan people."

"What? What did you say!" But after Chu Nan finished speaking, everyone present was stunned and dumbfounded!

The poisoning that Chu Nan mentioned was not poison, but plague? Moreover, the bodies of corrupt officials were thrown into the water source of the Beiyuan people.

Damn, are you Chu Nan still a human being?

As vicious as Zhu Yuanzhang was, his whole body was trembling and his lips turned pale.

"Chun Nan? Are you using corrupt officials in your plan again?"

"They just wanted to make some money, and ended up with their homes confiscated? Now their bodies are being cut into pieces?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is already numb. It’s not enough that you, Chu Nan, lured them into corruption and let them die, but now you even don’t let their corpses go?

No matter how cruel Zhu Yuanzhang was to corrupt officials, he still hoped that corrupt officials in the world would reform. But you, Chu Nan, are different. Since corrupt officials have embarked on the road of corruption, it is destined that their bodies will not even exist. People in ancient times believed in burying the dead in peace.

So now, even Zhu Yuanzhang wants to plead for these corrupt officials.

"Of course." But after hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Chu Nan frowned.

"Your Majesty, are you pitying them?"

"They embezzled so much money and were going to die anyway. What use would their bodies have after they died? Now they can be used to fight against the Beiyuan people and contribute their last bit of energy. Shouldn't they feel honored?"

"You should be happy that they died and still made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, so when you catch these corrupt officials, you should also catch them seriously, and when you kill them, you should also kill them without mercy."

"Your Majesty, you are still too kind."

"What? I should be happy for them?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this. How could he be happy?
And I am kind? Only a vicious scholar like you, Chu Nan, can say that I am kind. This is too ridiculous.

At this moment, all the princes were numb.

"Master Chu, we Chinese have always avoided plagues since ancient times, and we are terrified at the mention of them. How dare you use the plague to fight the enemy?"

"Moreover, you killed these corrupt officials right away. You are really cruel, aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"

Ancient people still believed that doing things too drastically would harm the harmony of nature and shorten one's lifespan.

They all looked at Chu Nan and advised: "Zhuge Liang was too ruthless in his actions and killed too many people. That's why his life was so short."

"Will I shorten my lifespan by doing this?" Chu Nan was surprised after hearing this.

"From Daming to the water source of the Northern Yuan people, even if we travel at a fast speed, it will take at least half a month, right? I am letting these corrupt officials live for another half a month. Isn't this doing a good deed? How can it shorten their lifespan?"

"Besides, my suggestion is to bring these corrupt officials to the Beiyuan water source and kill them immediately. The ingredients killed immediately are the freshest."

"After drinking such fresh water, the people of Beiyuan were so busy thanking me that it was too late. How could I have shortened my lifespan?"
