Is such a big place empty?
When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he couldn't react for a while.
But then, he understood what his father meant.
As an emperor, even if he is the founding emperor, who doesn't want to expand the territory and achieve great achievements?
Especially people like Zhu Yuanzhang who are full of ambition.
This is how people are, when you see a high mountain in front of you, you will be able to lift it when you climb more than halfway.
It seems that I am already very powerful, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with taking a proper rest.
However, when you discover that what you are facing is not a mountain, but that there are more mountains behind the mountain you are climbing.
At this time, you will feel as if you have just started.
Zhu Yuanzhang now has almost the same idea.
The world is still so big, but his Ming Dynasty is so small.
He has so many descendants.
How can such a small amount of land be divided among future generations?
"Now we suddenly recognize this guy Chu Ze. He knew from the beginning that the world was so vast, so he asked us to seal away our descendants."
“It’s such a waste to have so much land just empty.”
A small globe made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart beat faster again.
This feeling only appeared when I conquered the world.
But now, he feels like he can conquer the world again.
"Father...although the world is vast, I think it's better to take a closer look at it. Especially in places that are too far away, we don't understand the terrain and climate."
"It is a taboo for military strategists to be greedy for merit and rush forward! Father, you personally told your son this, but you can't"
"Hey! Biao'er, what are you worrying about? How could we be so greedy for success? My father is old and can't win anymore. From now on, it depends on how many of your brothers do."
Seeing Zhu Biao who was suddenly nervous, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly spoke to comfort him.
Although the blood is surging, Lao Zhu will not get over it.
He has been cautious all his life, always thinking of arranging everything for his children and grandchildren.
In fact, that's exactly what he did.
However, Chu Ze's sudden appearance broke almost all his arrangements.
He wanted Zhu Biao to become strong, to be able to dominate his subordinates and make everyone fear him, just like him.
But it indirectly forced Zhu Biao to death.
He wanted to arrange for Zhu Yunwen to have a minister who could support him, but he ended up with three resentments. Within a few years of taking the throne, he lost the throne.
He wanted the royal descendants of the Zhu family to guard the border. As a result, after Zhu Yunwen came to power, the first and only thing he did was to cut down the vassal vassal.
After Zhu Di came to power, he still reduced the vassal status.
He wanted to strengthen the concentration of imperial power, so he designed a grand chess game to abolish the prime minister system.
In fact, he should have succeeded.
But it indirectly created the existence of the cabinet, which directly bypassed the imperial power.
Although he said he arranged everything out of good intentions, the facts proved that everything he arranged had no effect at all.
Everything you do with good intentions is self-defeating.
It can be said that the appearance of Chu Ze directly or indirectly brought a huge blow to Zhu Yuanzhang.
So at this time, he also slowly looked away, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
In the world from now on, no matter how many arrangements he makes as a father, it will all be a fool's errand in the end.
It's better to take advantage of the fact that he still has the power of the tiger to protect his sons.
Instead of arranging everything for them, it is better for them to learn to arrange it themselves.
"Biao'er, we know that you attach great importance to this guy Chu Ze, but I still want to advise you. This person is a sharp weapon if you use it well, but if you find that you can't control him, you need to cut him off."
"Remember, no matter what, you can't let him dominate you. Otherwise, we don't know what the consequences will be."
"You must keep this in mind."
After Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Biao some serious instructions, he found that Zhu Biao still had a smile on his face.
"Father, don't worry. I am not a fool. People like Chu Ze cannot be trapped by force alone. Besides, I am only a friend. If I can get along well with you, I still hope that I will We can get along well with each other.”
"Although Chu Ze has some ambitions, his sons and ministers can also detect it. But what he plans is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and the court."
"My father often taught me to never forget my roots and to put the people first. I feel that my son may not be as good as Chu Ze in this regard. At least, I have never thought about doing it among the people. Open schools.”
"I have never thought of using one city as an experiment, comparing it with the surrounding world, and constantly seeking changes to benefit the people."
"My son has only two requirements for Chu Ze. First, not to abuse his power and oppress the people. Second, not to harm the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Other than that, my son will not force him."
"A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not always exist. I know that I am not a thousand-mile horse, but I also hope to be a bole once."
"On top of this, I also ask my father to let my sons do whatever they want for once."
Facing Zhu Biao, who looked calm but had an extremely firm tone.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not say a harsh word in the end.
In desperation, he could only shake his head silently.
It can be regarded as acquiescing to Zhu Biao's opinion.
But then, he looked at the globe placed on his desk by Zhu Biao's entourage.
But his brows couldn't help but wrinkled again.
"The terrain outline this guy drew doesn't look accurate at all? When did our Ming Dynasty's border become so crooked? When did we have to have someone draw an accurate one for us again? And there must be accurate terrain. The ball comes out.”
"This looks too ugly."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and muttered to himself. Zhu Biao looked at the back of his old father. He bowed respectfully with gratitude in his eyes, and left silently with others.
He knew that his father had never been a person good at compromising.
But now, his father seemed to have changed into a completely different person in a short period of time.
All this was not because of Chu Ze, but because of his father's love for these children.
On the way back to the East Palace, Zhu Biao had just arrived at the door when he happened to meet Chu Ze who had come from the testing ground and continued to teach Zhu Xiongying.
After the two met, they just looked at each other and smiled without saying much. They just smiled and nodded to each other.
"Here, let me give you something."
"What's this?"
As the two of them walked side by side towards the East Palace, Chu Ze took out a piece of soap from his sleeve and threw it to Zhu Biao.
After Zhu Biao took the thing he threw, he didn't look at it much. He just took a brief look and put it directly into the secret pocket in his sleeve.
Just keep what Chu Ze gave you.
"This is soap, used for bathing, washing clothes, etc. It is rumored that you have back carbuncle from now on. Marshal Xu Da also has this disease."
"This disease is almost impossible to treat in your time. I don't know whether you have it now, but regardless of whether you have it or not, pay more attention to hygiene in the future. When the weather is hot, you can't wear less back carbuncle. In our words In other words, it’s caused by bacterial infection.”
"You wear too thick clothes, which makes you sweat easily, and bacteria can easily grow on your clothes."
"Uh wait, what are bacteria?"
"."
Originally, he wanted to tell Zhu Biao about the origin and causes of back carbuncle, but Zhu Biao suddenly asked Chu Ze about what bacteria were, and he didn't know how to continue.
How to explain bacteria?
"You can understand it as a kind of poison that is everywhere, but we can't see it... In this way, you can roughly understand it. Of course, in fact, they are not poison, they are living creatures, just like us people, they have For life, you can think of it as an insect."
"Oh then go ahead."
Originally, when Chu Ze said that bacteria were poisonous, Zhu Biao was a little more accepting of it, but when he said that it was okay to understand it as bugs.
Zhu Biao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
This insect is everywhere
Just thinking about it, Zhu Biao felt a numbness in his back.
"Back carbuncle infection generally occurs in people with low immunity, that is, in poor health, and in people with poor hygiene."
"These two situations are relatively common, and I don't know which one you are in, so while your father puts less pressure on you, you should also pay attention to your hygiene."
"I'm not a medical student, so I don't know exactly how to treat this thing."
"In the process of making this soap, I added a little sulfur powder, of course, mainly because I was afraid of adding too much. You can use it to wash your clothes first, or wash your arms, calves and other places. See if there is any What a reaction."
"Such as stinging or rashes, etc. I tried it myself and had no reaction, but you should try it yourself first, so you don't get into trouble if you develop allergies later."
"Try it for three to five days first. If it's okay, I'll have someone bring you some more. Xiongying and the others should use this to wash their clothes or when they take a shower."
"Also, you should bathe frequently, especially in hot weather, at least once every two days. If the sweating is severe, just bathe once a day."
Zhu Biao listened to Chu Ze's endless instructions in his ears. As he listened, he suddenly grinned.
And under Chu Ze's somewhat surprised gaze, Zhu Biao actually reached out and lightly hammered him on the shoulder.
"I suddenly realized that you are quite accommodating! You arranged everything properly. Thank you."
Looking at the place where he was punched by Zhu Biao, Chu Ze suddenly patted his clothes with a look of disgust under Zhu Biao's gaze.
And he said with a stern look on his face.
"Hey, who told me that I was born with a strong sense of responsibility? You are also a careless person. If I don't watch you, if you suddenly die in front of me, I will be so embarrassed!"
"It's a pity that you're not a woman. Otherwise, if you were so moved, you could still pledge yourself to me."
"Hey, it's such a pity. If you really feel that you owe me too much and feel a little regretful about it, how about you sing Conquer for me live?"
"roll"
Zhu Biao, who was still a little moved in his heart, looked at Chu Ze's expression of needing to be beaten, and the word "Go" popped out of his mouth unceremoniously.
After thinking about it for a while, he followed Chu Ze's example, clenched his right fist, and then silently raised his middle finger to Chu Ze.
"Damn, you learn pretty fast! Come on, how about I teach you a few more Chinese quintessences? Come on, learn a universal modal particle from me, pronounce it in Pinyin, woah, cao trough!"
Seeing Chu Ze starting to play tricks again, Zhu Biao quickened his pace with disgust on his face.
He walked quickly towards the main hall where he handled government affairs.
Chu Ze, on the other hand, embarked on another path, preparing to go to Xuebentang to teach the two little guys.
But before the two of them separated, Zhu Biao suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Ze warily.
There was a hint of warning in his tone.
"Chu Ze, you just teach Xiongying and the others, but you can't teach these messy things. What the hell, it's not a good thing to hear. If you teach blindly, I won't be done with you by then!"
"Uh you bite me?"
"you"
I originally wanted to warn Chu Ze not to let the children get into trouble.
In the end, Zhu Biao's warning was rewarded with a big middle finger and Chu Ze's arrogant back.
Looking at Chu Ze who disappeared around the corner, Zhu Biao chuckled.
Since there are only two students in total, the teaching progress is actually very fast.
After completing the teaching, Chu Ze gave the two little guys homework and then left the palace directly.
His life now seems quite regular.
Every day I go to work, get off work, and go home to make inventions...or go home to research and restore inventions for later generations.
This kind of two-point and one-line lifestyle, which is almost a foregone conclusion, is actually quite good for Chu Ze.
The busy life prevented him from thinking wildly.
But today, as soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Zhu Zhen, who had been fooled by Zhu Di before, and Zhu Di, the big fool, sitting in a carriage bored.
And the carriage stopped in front of the palace in a swaggering manner.
When they saw Chu Ze coming out, these two guys trotted quickly and came to Chu Ze's front.
"Chu Ze, we have chosen a good place. It is less than three miles outside the city. It is a land of earth and rocks, and there are big rocks underground. It is basically impossible to grow food."
"The terrain is fairly flat, and there is a river not far from the edge. Follow us and see if the ammunition production line you mentioned can be built there?"
"Banxian, please help us take a look! Not far from that place, there is a poisonous salt mountain mine. There are not many weeds growing around. Please help us take a look. If it is suitable, we will give the place to you. Buy it. Then you can tell me how to build it, and I will be responsible for the construction!"
After not seeing each other for just one afternoon, Chu Ze had an inexplicable feeling that Zhu Zhen seemed to be more anxious about the ammunition production factory than Zhu Di.
It seems that Zhu Di has created a lot of trouble for his good brother along the way.
Looking at Zhu Zhen like this, it's obvious that he's completely stuffed
