Mention the person whom Lao Zhu admires most.
Some people will immediately think of the First Emperor Ying Zheng. After all, Brother Zheng is the first emperor in this land of Yanhuang and the first emperor in the world to create the name of emperor.
But actually, no.
Judging from Lao Zhu’s decades of entrepreneurial history.
But everyone will subconsciously choose and admire the people who are most similar to themselves, so that they can show their greatness.
'Except for Ying Pingxiang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was tolerant and generous. He who has the virtue of ruling the world and bringing peace to all generations is also one. '
This sentence is what Lao Zhu once said about Liu Bang.
The emperor that Lao Zhu admired most in his life was Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
This can be demonstrated from the Imperial Temple founded by Lao Zhu.
After Lao Zhu founded the Ming Dynasty, he changed the old practice of scattered sacrifices in previous dynasties and pioneered collective sacrifices to emperors of the past dynasties.
With a wave of his hand, he built the first imperial temple in China in Yingtian, and personally selected a list of sixteen emperors who could live in the imperial temple and accept worship from the Ming royal family.
These sixteen people are: Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Dayu, Shang Tang, King Wu of Zhou, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty.
It can be seen from this list that Lao Zhu does not approve of Brother Zheng, mainly because he feels that Brother Zheng is too short and not lasting enough.
The first 'emperor' in his mind was Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty who founded the Han Dynasty for four hundred years.
After the first sacrifice in the Emperor's Temple, Lao Zhu even looked at the statue of Liu Bang and sighed: "Mr. Liu, all the kings in the temple today have something to rely on to win the world, but I and you don't have an inch of ground to carry. , to be crowned emperor, is especially rare compared to these princes, and we can drink three nobles together."
As for why Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, was also included, it was because the Ming Dynasty founded by Lao Zhu wanted to legally inherit the unification of the Yuan Dynasty, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's future expansion to the north and its international status in East Asia.
The reason why Lao Zhu took Liu Bang as his example.
The reason is simple. The two of them are so similar.
Lao Zhu: I am a poor and humble young man with great ambitions, and thousands of armies are in full swing; I am so powerful that the Ming Dynasty is strong, and I am so powerful that the world is strong! I am a commoner in Huaiyou, how can the world compare to me?
Lao Liu: The strong wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, the powerful warriors are returning to their hometown, and the warriors are guarding the four directions.
First, compared to the founders of other dynasties, both of them came from humble beginnings and climbed up step by step.
Lao Zhu needs no further introduction. His family is an out-and-out poor peasant. When his parents died, they didn’t even have a coffin board or a place to bury them.
Lao Liu is better, he is a low-level official, although he is different in certain qualities.
But looking at the entire ups and downs of the dynasty, it is completely incomparable to the founding emperors such as Sima Yan of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Da Kuangyin who also created a unified dynasty.
This group of people all had a unified identity before they started their business, the second generation of Quan.
Among the monarchs who created a unified dynasty, Lao Liu can be regarded as the founding emperor whose origin is closest to Lao Zhu.
This means that when ordinary people start trouble, there is no reason to suspect that they are powerful.
Second, be the most righteous in the world.
Needless to say, Lao Zhu expelled the Tartars and restored China. This alone makes the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty undisputed.
And Lao Liu.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Whoever can put an end to the chaos in the world will be the one whom the people will support and who will be destined by destiny.
This is to eliminate violence for the people: no foreshadowing of the divine weapon.
Third, the attitude towards heroes.
To sum it up, it can be summed up in one word: kill.
Of course, Lao Zhu fully carried forward Lao Liu's excellent tradition. When Lao Liu killed heroes, he selected people to kill, while Lao Zhu killed them uniformly.
Fourth, the two people’s places of origin.
Lao Liu is from Peixian County.
Although Lao Zhu is from Fengyang, his ancestral home is also Peixian County.
As the saying goes, when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, his eyes well up with tears.
By the window.
The sunset is infinitely better, so is dusk.
"Do you want to see Liu Bang?"
Ji Boying tasted the Dahongpao of Pinmu Tree, glanced at Lao Zhu, and said lightly.
Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he hadn't spoken yet.
"Hahaha, I really can't hide anything from my brother."
Lao Zhu chuckled.
"It would be a great pleasure in life if I could have a few drinks with Mr. Liu."
Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Lao Zhu continued.
"Apart from Liu Jun, I think Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin are both barely able to do this. They can all be invited to teach these bastards."
Lao Zhu was the founding king of the Ming Dynasty and a hero of his generation.
When he was asked to choose the emperor, his vision was naturally focused on the founding kings of each dynasty, and there were some founding kings that Lao Zhu looked down upon, such as Sima Yan of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, etc.
This can be seen from the list of offerings in the Imperial Temple established by Lao Zhu.
Among the fifteen emperors of the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, there is not even a single one on the list. It is simply too useless to abolish the Jin Dynasty.
"Um."
Ji Boying nodded slightly, then looked at A Biao.
When it comes to choosing the emperor of the teaching class, Abiao will consider it more comprehensively than Lao Zhu.
After all, when Lao Zhu selects people, his first priority is to compare them with himself. In the Qin, Han, Jin, Tang and Song dynasties, there were a few who could compare with Lao Zhu.
"Abiao, tell me what you think."
Hear the words.
A Biao nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with seriousness, and his heart was filled with excitement that was hard to calm down.
he knows.
I finally entered the teaching level.
This represents a qualitative leap in the immortal master's recognition of himself.
Whether it is the authority to change the grading of homework, or the ability to choose the emperor's personnel who are now participating in the teacher's class, this represents an increase in his authority in the class. He is no longer a student, but a teacher.
In his heart, Abiao kept giving himself hints to help him adapt to the new role as soon as possible.
Take a deep breath.
"Immortal master, I thought."
"Except for the few people my father just mentioned, the first emperor Ying Zheng, Han Wu Liu Che, the founder of Wei, Shu and Wu, Ming Emperor Sima Shao, Li Zhiwu Zhao, Later Zhou Chai Rong..."
"These people all have their own shining side. All we have to do is let them show their shining side for the students to learn from."
After speaking, Abiao paused for a moment.
"And the Immortal Master has said before that the successful experience is worth learning from, but the lessons of failure also need to be learned."
"So, I think the kings who lost their country in the past dynasties, such as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, etc., as well as the beast dynasties such as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Central and Northern Qi, and the likes of Shi Jingtang in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, can also be included as candidates."
"Let them teach the students to set their sights straight."
After Ji Boying listened, he rubbed his beard for a while.
He felt that what A Biao said was very reasonable, and both good and bad should be listened to, so that it would be comprehensive.
It's just that the emperor is chosen to teach.
But if some emperors who do not distinguish between humans and animals are selected, this class will probably turn into a physical education class from time to time.
The only sport: gang fighting.
The emperors of the Great Ming Dynasty beat up the lone emperors of other dynasties.
For example, Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and beasts like Liu Ziye of the Liu Song Dynasty, after being recruited, they must be beaten first as a sign of respect.
"Um."
Ji Boying nodded slightly.
"Abiao, your suggestion in advance is very good."
"After you go back today, you should immediately make a list of the emperors of the past dynasties. At the same time, clearly mark your opinions on them and give them to me before class tomorrow."
As a teaching assistant, of course I have to work for the Immortal Master!
Hearing this, A Biao took a deep breath. This is how much the Immortal Master values him!
"yes!"
"I will not disgrace the Immortal Master's decree!"
Old Zhu Di, who was sitting side by side with A Biao, smiled and stroked his beard.
In Lao Zhu Di's view, according to the order of answering the questions, it was his turn to answer next. He had already thought about how to answer in advance, with a confident look on his face, and was just about to say what he was thinking.
Unexpectedly, the immortal master's eyes skipped him, looked at Emperor Tianshun and Emperor Jingtai standing aside, and started another topic.
'? ? ? '
Old Zhu Di hesitated to speak, his heart suddenly thumped.
Suddenly, he understood a truth.
Although he is a member of the class committee, in the end, he is still a student and cannot participate in the formulation of class regulations, while Abiao has already entered the ranks of teachers through excellent classroom performance.
'I must study hard! Step into the faculty ranks! '
Lao Zhu Di set a grand ideal for himself in his heart.
'If you don't steam the steamed buns, you'll lose your breath! '
And at this moment.
Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qizhen and Emperor Tianshun blackened Zhu Qizhen were watched by the immortal master. Emperor Jingtai looked a little nervous, while blackened Zhu Qizhen had a calm look on his face. This kid has been studying since he learned Xin Xue , completely transformed.
"After you go back this time, while reforming the internal affairs, you must use the fastest speed to select and form an army with strong physiques. I will ask Qi Jiguang from Longqing Time and Space to train troops for you."
The number one military training master in the Ming Dynasty was none other than General Qi.
The words fell.
Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath.
He naturally understood the meaning of the immortal master's words and wanted to trick his own Tianshun Time and Space!
It’s finally my turn to fill the cup!
"I will obey the Immortal Master's decree!"
Emperor Jingtai bowed quickly, while Zhu Qizhen beside him still looked calm.
But there was a bit of coldness deep in his eyes. Once the elite soldiers were formed, he would personally lead this army and go to Mobei to find a place to avenge his previous shame.
"Um."
"You will have three to six months to train. During this period, you will not be summoned to Zuixian Tower."
Emperor Jingtai's expression changed instantly. What should I do if I can't keep up with the class after not coming for so long?
"Don't worry about missing class."
One sentence dispelled Emperor Jingtai's worries.
"Go ahead."
As the immortal master finished speaking.
Uh-huh.
The brother duo of Jingtai and Tianshun disappeared instantly, and Ji Boying sent them back to their own time and space.
When the time is right, Ji Boying will slide the timeline of Jingtai-Tianshun time and space to shorten this time span, and then see if there is any change in the Guozuo of "Jingtai-Tianshun" time and space.
"Brother, compared to these two brothers, we think Hongzhi's problem is a bit urgent. Should we deal with it in advance?"
Lao Zhu subconsciously frowned when he thought of Guo Zuo in the 188th year of Hongzhi Time and Space.
One side is deep in the quagmire of the Japanese island, and the other side is the northern border.
Fighting on two fronts is the most taboo.
Even if the country is strong, try to avoid sending troops to both fronts at the same time.
What's more, in the current Hongzhi time and space, the national power is already weakened, and the national treasury has lost even the capital of the coffin board. In addition, there are constant refugees in the world. If it is not handled carefully, it is extremely easy to trigger internal civil unrest, and once civil unrest occurs again in the local area, Change, that is, a three-front battle, which can drag the entire Hongzhi to death.
"Um."
"This is also a question I will talk to you about later."
Ji Boying nodded slightly and glanced at Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu also understood the meaning of Ji Boying's words, which was to discuss it later and move on to other issues now.
then.
Ji Boying looked at Old Zhu Di, as well as Yongle Fatty and Yongle Xiao Zhu.
"Do you know the reason why I specifically asked you, my grandfather, and my grandson to come up this time?"
As soon as the words came out, Yongle Big Fatty and Yongle Xiao Zhu naturally did not dare to say anything, and they subconsciously looked at Old Zhu Di.
"Students don't know, please ask the immortal master to teach you."
Old Zhu Di took a deep breath. This look and manner actually gave people a sense of restraint.
After realizing that he was just a student, Lao Zhu Di's learning attitude became more correct. He understood one thing in his heart, that is, in the immortal master's class, learning is the first competitiveness.
Ji Boying glanced at Old Zhu Di and felt that something was wrong with this old boy.
"Yongle Guozuo, reached 428 years."
The words hit my ears.
Yongle's third master and grandson were stunned for a moment at first, and then his eyes burst into ecstasy.
"So, now I want to take you to see the future generations of Yongle time and space."
As soon as these words came out, Yongle's third master and grandson looked even more excited.
After all, they had worked so hard to tinker with so many new policies, and their hair fell out a lot when they stayed up late thinking about problems. They all wanted to see what the results of these things that their grandfather and grandson had tinkered with would be in later generations. .
Especially Yongle Fatty and Yongle Xiaozhu.
They were more curious about how the two of them would do in future generations, especially Fatty Yongle, who was more concerned about how long he lived after he ascended the throne, whether it lasted more than ten months.
"Brother, we suddenly thought of a question."
Just when Ji Boying was about to activate the "time travel" function, Lao Zhu suddenly interrupted.
"explain."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu.
"Actually, we have wanted to ask this question before."
"If we go to the future and see the scene of the future, to some extent, doesn't it mean that we have changed the future."
"Like him."
Lao Zhu pointed at Big Fatty.
"If he sees his future self going left on a certain day, and when he arrives on that day, he decides to go right, wouldn't that mean that he has changed future generations?"
"Then when we go to the future world, do we see the future life after the change or the future life before the change?"
Lao Zhu frowned. He felt that when he thought about this problem, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his head was in a mess and his brain cells were not enough.
Old Zhu Di, his grandfather and his three grandsons were also confused after hearing this.
Ji Boying looked at Lao Zhu with some surprise. He really didn't expect that Lao Zhu would pay attention to such a question full of science, theology, and philosophy.
"Time in the same space and time is a closed loop."
“The chicken lays the egg, the egg lays the chicken, which comes first, the chicken or the egg.”
"Figure it out for yourself."
Ji Boying left one sentence, oh.
The elegant room at the top of the pavilion was empty.
Chickens and eggs, this is a philosophical question that ancient philosophers explored and discussed about the origin of life and the universe.
His essence is not chicken and egg, but cause and effect.
This kind of exploration can even be derived into mathematics. The most typical ones are the Van der Waals equation and the famous Darcy friction coefficient calculation formula.
……………………
Yongle time and space and future generations.
The eighteenth year of Hongxi.
There was a faint morning light, and there was a refreshing feeling in the air.
The Imperial Capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City of Shuntian, the Palace Garden, and the shore of Qinghu Lake, there is a figure jogging around the lake, reflected in the eyes of six people on the lakeside.
"Who is this guy?"
Including Ji Boying, all six people had their invisibility enabled.
Old Zhu Di frowned slightly. Looking at the figure running towards him a hundred meters away, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where the familiarity was.
At this moment, on his left and right sides, Yongle Big Fatty and Yongle Xiao Zhu were also staring at the jogging figure. They had the same feeling as Old Zhu Di, and the closer they got, the more familiar this feeling came to their hearts. .
As for Lao Zhu and A Biao.
The two of them were thinking about the 'chicken lays the egg, the egg lays the chicken' question just now. This question is simply too philosophical and too brain-burning.
"this is you."
Ji Boying glanced at Yongle.
There is nothing wrong with what you say.
This is not a parallel world, but the future of Yongle time and space.
Ji Boying took them on a time travel. This sturdy old man jogging was the fat Yongle next to him. The two were essentially the same person.
Master Yongle and Sun San were stunned when they heard this.
With this body, this shape, and this vigorous pace, how could he be fat?
The fat man weighs more than 200 pounds, and this muscular old man jogging here weighs at most 130 pounds.
Until, the jogging figure gradually came closer. It was an old and slender face, full of vitality and completely different in spirit, but the facial features were exactly the same as those of the fat man.
"Dad, you can do it! I lost weight successfully!"
Xiao Zhu excitedly patted Big Fat on the shoulder.
The fat man took a deep breath, with a smile on his face. Looking at "himself" running by, he made up his mind and gained confidence. He must work hard to lose weight, so that at least he could gain more weight. Live for many years.
"Brother, we still don't understand, which came first, the chicken or the egg."
Lao Zhu took a deep breath and looked at Ji Boying. He felt that his CPU was about to explode. He was going crazy because he still didn't understand the problem.
It's strange to think of a generalist. How many philosophical sages have been studying for a lifetime, but they have been imprisoned by the word "cause and effect" for life.
"Let me give you an analogy."
Ji Boying patted Lao Zhu.
"Is it because Big Fatty first made up his mind to lose weight that he became this strong old man in later generations, or was it because he saw this strong old man in later generations that Big Fatty made up his mind to lose weight?"
Ask in one word.
After hearing this, Lao Zhu looked stunned.
In a state of complete confusion, there is a rhythm that makes you feel dizzy.
"alright."
"There is no need to dwell on this issue anymore. There are specialties in the art industry. This is not something we should discuss."
If we continue to explore this kind of cause and effect problem without an answer, it will drive people crazy.
"We are here to take a look at the Yongle time and space and see if we can find some shortcomings in Yongle's later generations and make up for them."
Ji Boying finished speaking.
Phew~
The figures of everyone suddenly appeared in another place.
He did not travel through time and space, but went to another place in Hongxi's eighteenth year.
"This is…"
Old Zhu Di looked down and saw that below was a majestic building complex covering a vast area, which was even larger than the Forbidden City.
Yongle's big fat little Zhu, and even Lao Zhu and Abiao all put aside their confusion about the laying hens and were shocked by this majestic building. This is the completed Royal Tiangong Institute.
"The main building of Royal Tiangongyuan, ninth floor."
Ji Boying looked around from the ninth floor of the main building.
His eyes were fixed on the center of this group of majestic buildings, which was a statue hundreds of meters high. Although it was from the back from this angle, Ji Boying could tell at a glance that this was him.
Theocratic rule of the country, it seems that his handsome face and strong body must be everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
wrong.
Because in the Age of Great Navigation and Silver Expansion, it should be all over the world, far ahead!
"During this period, the Great Navigation should have begun more than 20 years ago. The current radiation range of the Ming Dynasty's imperial power should have included the entire Southeast Asia and East Asia, and the national power has been greatly improved."
Ji Boying spoke calmly.
"but."
"This Tiangongyuan, which looks majestic in appearance, has established form, but it has no quality."
Ji Boying knew at a glance that under these majestic buildings, except for firearms, there was nothing real. Everything was in the preliminary exploration stage.
It is not that such a majestic Tiangongyuan can be built without the investment of national power, which shows that starting from Yongle, the construction of the Royal Tiangongyuan was regarded as a top priority.
Obviously, he implemented the decree set by Ji Boying and spared no effort in constructing Tiangongyuan.
However, the development of industry is not just about pouring financial resources into it. What is needed is time. Especially when Ji Boying did not light up the technology tree for Ming Dynasty, this advancement time is particularly long.
"The so-called quality should be the industrial revolution that the immortal master will talk about in the next class."
Abiao frowned and hit the nail on the head.
"Um."
Ji Boying nodded and patted A Biao on the shoulder with satisfaction. This kid is really on the right track.
The next thing to do is to light up the technology tree for Daming and put Daming on the fast track.
"Let's go, let's take a look, everyone is interested."
The words fell.
'Interested in? '
Old Zhu Abiao, the grandson of Yongle's third grandfather, disappeared in an instant when everyone was confused.
……………………
Yongle time and space, future generations.
Xuande twenty-five years.
In the later generations of Yongle time and space, the Yongle reign was used for thirty-one years, which means that Zhu Di lived to be seventy-three years old, and the Hongxi reign was used for twenty years, which means that Yongle Fatty lived to be sixty-eight years old.
For a big fat guy, this is already very satisfying.
By the 25th year of Xuande's reign, more than sixty years had passed.
This year, Zhu Zhanji was already white-haired, over seventy years old, and a veritable old emperor.
Forbidden City, Imperial Ancestral Temple.
A thin figure in a yellow robe, with a stooped back, sunken cheekbones, and age spots on his face, sat quietly in front of the ancestral tablet in the Taimiao Temple.
Zhu Zhanji drooped his eyes, raised his head slightly, and looked at the three tablets in front of him.
Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Wen, Emperor Renzong Zhao, his great-grandfather, grandfather, and his father.
On top of these three tablets, there is also a statue of a god enshrined, which is the Great Heavenly Lord Xuanqing Jiaohua. The cigarette made of 24K pure gold held between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand is extremely dazzling.
"Father, Grandpa Huang, Grandfather, you should have met the Immortal Master. I am about to die now."
"To be honest, I really miss you guys."
"Fortunately, I should have lived up to the expectations of the Immortal Master. Over the past twenty years, our Ming Navy has become the most powerful fleet in the world. The Ming flag has been planted all over half of the world. The silver of South America has , also started mining five years ago.”
"The reform of the military system and the equipment of all firearms have also allowed our Ming Dynasty's combat power to reach its peak. The Tatars in the north fled in fear of the wind and no longer dared to disturb our border."
"It's a pity that the lesson of the Industrial Revolution has never been heard."
"A large amount of silver is piled up in the national treasury. Even if I try my best to inject silver into other overseas countries, there is still a large amount of silver hoarded. This silver cannot be consumed or flowed into the private sector. It can only be hoarded into a mountain of silver. Just stay on guard."
"Come to think of it, this is probably why industry hasn't kept up."
"I have tried to promote industry, but I can't find the point and feel stagnant."
"……………………"
"…………"
Alone, chattering.
Zhu Zhanji, a descendant of Yongle, had no idea at all.
Behind him at this moment, six invisible people were watching him silently, listening to him talk about the development process in the past few decades. From time to time, the third grandfather and grandson of Yongle would discuss a few words with each other, and ask Yongle Xiaozhu to take out his pocket and carry it with him. booklet to record problems that can be corrected.
Ji Boying looked calm.
The scene of future generations will be fixed at the moment when he led people through time, so Zhu Zhanji in this future generation has indeed not taken the course of the Industrial Revolution.
It is precisely because the industrial revolution has not kept up.
When a large amount of silver is obtained, but there is no corresponding production means and productivity to keep up, then the dug silver cannot become a catalyst for strong national power.
This is also the reason why Ji Boying wants to speed up the teaching of industrial revolution.
If the technology tree is not artificially lit and allowed to develop freely, it will take hundreds of years.
"well."
"To this day."
"I haven't established a crown prince yet, and I haven't determined the next heir."
As soon as these words came out.
Yongle's third master and grandson all frowned. They are already at this age and are about to die, but they haven't established a prince yet? !
But if you think about it for a moment, you can understand it.
After all, there are only two sons in total, and one of them is Baozong, so it is indeed difficult to deal with it.
"With more than thirty sons, it's so difficult to choose."
The grandson of Yongle's third grandfather:? ? ?
Yongle Xiao Zhu’s eyes lit up: Am I so fierce? !
Ji Boying subconsciously checked to see who the next emperor would be, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It was beyond the scope of the ritual and expected.

PS: Guess who is next.
