Yang Feng immediately realized that he might have fallen into a trap.
Zhu Yuanzhang is also very likely to know.
It is impossible for the generals of the Suzhou Guard not to recognize Tang He's daughter.
What's more, she still has relatives and friends in Suzhou.
It was entirely possible for these people to report her close relationship with Yang Feng to Zhu Yuanzhang. With Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he could of course guess that she and Yang Feng were probably hooking up. After all, a widow and a young man got together.
Are we together just because of pure friendship?
Pooh!
They're all bitches!
but……
Yang Feng is still useful!
He is still useful, so he can't be killed. Since he can't be killed, he can't make the matter public. On the contrary, he has to pretend that nothing happened.
Let him be trapped by beauty, and then work as an ox and horse for the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind.
She is nothing more than a daughter-in-law, not to mention that his son has been dead for several years. To be precise, he is a widow, and the only posthumous son of King Lu was not born to her. As long as this matter remains a secret, there is no need to worry about face issues. Wait.
Tian needs to settle accounts with Yang Feng, but when he can't find a suitable reason, this can be used as his crime against Ling Chi, and then he will settle the accounts with him with a knife. As for Tang and his daughter, of course they can only follow in her sister's footsteps.
His Majesty the Emperor has always been very patient in matters like this.
In this case, Yang Feng was relieved.
He has countless crimes that require Lingchi, why does he still care about one more?
If there are too many lice, it will not itch. If there are too many debts, the body will not be burdened.
As long as I am not afraid of death, I can continue to commit suicide.
Besides, his daughter-in-law is quite tasty.
very……
"If you are happy in life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon!"
Ambassador Yang happily shouted to the group of people in front of him who were being harassed.
The latter wailed.
Zhang Xianzong looked at him speechlessly.
“The Ambassador is in great spirits!”
An old man with white hair and beard walked beside them and said.
Zhang Xianzong stood up quickly and saluted respectfully.
This is Liu Sanwu, a Hanlin scholar.
This old guy is extraordinary.
He is arguably the core figure among the current Confucian scholars.
His father, Hu Yuan, was a Hanlin scholar at that time, and his three brothers were all Confucian scholars. However, he is still alive today. In the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, he entered the imperial court. Although he had ups and downs around Zhu Yuanzhang, he has always been an advisor. In addition, he
It was still Teacher Zhu Yunwen. It is said that originally in history, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to choose Zhu Di, but it was he who stepped forward to stop him.
Of course, it's just a boast.
Not choosing Zhu Di was Zhu Yuanzhang's own choice.
How could he have the ability to influence Zhu Yuanzhang's choice?
In other words, how could an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang be influenced by a minister in his choice of successor?
But no matter what, he is currently one of the core members of the civil servants. The ups and downs of civil servants in Zhu Yuanzhang's era were too frequent, so there were no strong civil servants. After all, he did not allow strong civil servants. The current civil servant system mainly serves as advisory secretaries, but there are no
The scholars with actual power are the Liu Sanwu and Zhang Xianzong systems, and the civil servants with real power in the Liubu Jiuqing system who have real power but are difficult to give advice to Zhu Yuanzhang. The latter are mainly Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censor of Zuodu.
and Shi Ruyu, Minister of the Ministry of War and Vice-Censor of the Capital. The former was originally killed because of the Lan Yu case, but he is still doing well now.
He is a cruel official.
It is very suitable for Zhu Yuanzhang's taste.
Originally, it was said in history that he was tricked to death by Zhu Yunwen.
When they interrogated Lan Yu together, Lan Yu was so angry that he casually said that he was also an accomplice. Zhu Yunwen immediately caught him and held on to him. In the end, the original presiding officer became an accomplice and was beheaded together. It was probably because Zhu Yunwen obtained the information about those behind the scenes.
The agitation of Confucian scholars.
After all, everyone hates cruel officials, especially those whom Zhu Yuanzhang liked.
Ru Yu was much more cunning, so he ended up becoming a veteran of the three dynasties. Even when Zhu Di was still a minister of the Ministry of War, he was also granted the title of Uncle Zhongzhong after his death.
Zhu Di also has a great sense of humor.
This is the current situation of the civil servants of the Hongwu Dynasty.
To put it simply, it is to set up an emperor who is so powerful that he can handle everything by himself, so he can only act as a work machine, just like a group of machines that execute orders. The only one who can be said to have a bit of the spirit of the civil servants of later generations is this old guy. In addition, there are
Huang Zicheng and other newcomers to the imperial examination.
After all, the latter is young and full of energy!
but……
He won't be able to dance for a few years.
Because he is the core figure in the North and South Bang case.
"How does Mr. Liu feel when he sees so many people lingering together?"
Yang Feng said.
"Old Corpse Mountain has seen a lot of blood and seas. This person is nothing. The ambassador has seen the scene of hundreds of thousands of corpses floating in the river. It's just Lingchi. In addition to causing some trouble to the executioner, at least for the people of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, it is also
Just add some entertainment."
The old man said with a slight smile.
Well, people like them have more say in this.
"I wonder if there was war at that time, Ambassador?"
he asked.
"Yes, fighting is happening everywhere, but compared to the chaotic times of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, civilians are not killed very much. Although civilians are inevitably affected, at least everyone maintains their dignity and generally does not engage in massacres or anything like that.
Especially those big countries, because they want to avoid giving excuses to their opponents, they try to exercise restraint.
In short, everyone tries to solve it on the battlefield.
Of course, civilians are also killed here and there.
However, once it is revealed, it is easy for all parties to denounce it.
In fact, the key point is that in our time, this thing was very common, almost everyone had it, and they could all be connected. Not only could they talk to each other, but they could also see what the other party saw, so if anything happened, it would quickly happen, whether in your own country or elsewhere.
All countries can see it, and even how the battle is fought on the battlefield. It will be difficult for oneself to have any sense of justice if it continues to massacre the city. Not only other countries will look down upon it, but the people in the country will also feel embarrassed.
They may even object to continuing the fight.
After all, even if you are fighting a war at this time, you have to talk about vilifying the people and vilifying the people. Now that you have gone out to massacre the city, you obviously can't say that you are still vilifying the people and vilifying the people."
Yang Feng pointed to his watch and said.
"Common people still shouldn't know too much!"
Liu Sanwu looked at the picture on his watch and said somewhat shocked.
"So what should they know?"
Yang Feng said.
"Loyalty!"
Old man Liu said simply.
Yang Fenglao looked at him with interest.
"There are many ignorant people who only care about personal gain, are trapped in a small amount of money, and are limited to the head of a fly. They have no foresight, no big knowledge, and are not able to express their grand plans. Therefore, they should not be made to know too much, and those in power should not be influenced by them.
. They should be constantly roped with guidelines and restrained by laws, and then they should all keep their duties. Farmers will cultivate the land, soldiers will conquer the country, and the scholar-bureaucrats will plan for the country. In this way, the world will be clean and orderly.
As for that."
Old man Liu looked at the watch.
"It's just something that's causing chaos in the country!"
He said with hatred.
This old man still has a certain level of skill.
Of course, he did it on purpose.
"You're not accusing me of running a night school on Mount Wutai to teach my workers things they shouldn't be taught, are you?"
Yang Feng said.
It's almost turned into an industrial base now.
With the arrival of a large number of blacksmiths, potters and other hired workers, the entire Wutai Mountain Embassy District is now overcrowded. Because there are not enough factories, Yang Feng has applied for expansion. The entire Wutai Mountain is now filled with thick smoke every day, blast furnaces for smelting iron, and factories for burning cement.
The kilns and chimneys were erected one after another, and Wutai Mountain was filled with smoke from a distance.
Those who like Yang Feng say it's Xian Qi, and those who don't like him say it's Yao Wu.
But Zhu Yuanzhang liked it very much.
Because these are all things he can use for free in the future.
Yang Fengguang's cement sample made His Majesty the Emperor very happy.
You must know that in the past, he had to use glutinous rice as an adhesive for the city wall to cover bricks for more than one mile of the city wall. It cost tens of thousands of kilograms of glutinous rice alone. There have been replicas in modern times, covering one kilometer with bricks and using glutinous rice in the ancient way.
and lime. In the end, fifty tons of glutinous rice alone were used.
This is food!
So even his Nanjing city actually only has an outer layer made of glutinous rice and lime, and the inside is indeed full of city bricks, but the adhesive inside is mud.
He can't afford the whole glutinous rice.
Cement perfectly solves this problem.
Although Yang Feng is only experimenting now, he has few manpower in Mount Wutai, and cement requires a lot of manpower to crush and even grind into fine powder, so the output is very small. The plan is to find a suitable place nearby, especially
Wherever hydraulic machinery can be repaired, real factories can be built to increase production.
So His Majesty the Emperor is full of expectations.
He waited for the new factory to be built, and then he copied it one by one, eventually realizing his dream of covering all city walls in the world with bricks.
but……
Of course Yang Feng would not bring in private goods.
So he opened a night school on Mount Wutai under the guise of teaching workers literacy and skills.
Of course technology must be taught.
But some other things must be taught as well.
After these workers learn it, it is inevitable that they will spread it among the people. In fact, it is not anything particularly sensitive, it is just equality, mutual respect, solidarity and cooperation.
Very normal stuff.
After all, a factory must work together.
The basis of unity and cooperation is of course mutual respect.
The prerequisite for mutual respect is of course equality.
"The ambassador was joking. Since His Majesty has never interfered, how dare I say anything?"
Liu Sanwu said while stroking his white beard.
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang will not interfere. He is now focused on waiting for free prostitution. Of course, he must tolerate some trivial matters if he can do it for free. Besides, Yang Feng mainly teaches technology. For him, what can those craftsmen do? Is it possible that he will deceive the public after listening to Yang Feng's monstrous words?
Dare to rebel?
What a joke!
However, it is very detrimental to the gentry!
Yang Feng is not only repairing the factory, he is also establishing a new social model and a new production relationship.
This is terrible.
Yang Feng smiled.
"Mr. Liu, actually I know what you are talking about, and you also know that I know what you are talking about.
But what you, or you and your Confucian scholars, think about this matter has nothing to do with me. As an envoy of a friendly and diplomatic country, I only obey the will of His Majesty the Emperor of your country, since His Majesty the Emperor of your country does not think that I do these things.
is wrong, then I will continue to do it. In fact, we will never be the same kind of people, and there is no possibility of agreeing with each other. What you have learned in your life, your thoughts, and the world in your eyes are completely different from mine.
.
The distinction between Jing and Wei is clear.
The difference between Jing and Wei is not enough to describe it.
After all, Jing and Wei will eventually get together.
To be more precise, we should be two wheels of a car. We are both moving forward, but we will not come together.
Do you understand what I say?"
Yang Feng said.
"Ambassador, actually the wheelbarrow can go on all roads."
Old Man Liu said slowly.
"But you can't decide the number of wheels. Two-wheeled vehicles, three-wheeled vehicles, and four-wheeled vehicles. We all had hundreds of wheels at that time. The more wheels the vehicle had, the more load it could bear. At that time, some wheels had been used for a long time and should have been eliminated.
Even if it is thrown away, it is nothing more than getting a new one."
Yang Feng said.
The old man looked at him deeply.
Yang Feng also looked at him deeply.
Then the two of them suddenly laughed...
"A car with hundreds of wheels, the ambassador is an eye-opener for me!"
Old man Liu stroked his white beard and said.
"Hundreds of wheels are nothing, we have cars without wheels!"
Yang Feng said.
Then the old man got up and left with a smile.
Zhang Xianzong looked at Yang Feng with complicated eyes.
"So, I am actually officially declaring war, right?"
Yang Feng said.
"You can also take a step back.
It’s not that they can’t take a step back. After all, what they want doesn’t have to be fought with you to get. If you take a step back and they also take a step back, wouldn’t everyone be happy?”
Zhang Xianzong said.
After this conversation, Yang Feng and the Confucian scholars effectively declared war.
"So they can actually abandon Zhu Yunwen?"
Yang Feng said very directly.
Zhang Xianzong quickly shut up and pretended not to hear anything.
For the Confucian scholar group, it is not a bad idea to abandon Zhu Yunwen. The current situation is that they cannot prevent Zhu Yunxi from succeeding to the throne. After all, this was decided by Zhu Yuanzhang, and they have no ability to fight against this terrible emperor. What they want is a government governed by Confucian scholars.
The country does not have to have Zhu Yunwen succeed to the throne, Zhu Yunxi can also do it. Although Zhu Yunxi is backed by a group of military generals, even Zhu Yuanzhang still relies on Confucian scholars.
Zhu Yunxi also needs Confucian scholars.
At best, he would not listen to them completely like Zhu Yunwen.
But the essence will not change.
As long as they are feudal emperors, this will always be the case. Even if they are foreign rulers, they still have to use Confucian scholars. No matter how bad the situation is, how bad can it be, but this heretic Yang Feng is different!
What he brought was a brand new system.
A system without Confucian scholars, and he was so close to Zhu Yunxi, the Confucian scholars really began to be afraid. If Zhu Yunxi was bewitched by him and completely abandoned the Confucian scholars, it would be the end, and it could be said that a catastrophe would come. Old man Liu just wanted to
Let's test it out to see if Yang Feng is really planning to bring trouble to the world. If Yang Feng can compromise, then we can talk about the next exchange of interests. But now Yang Feng has made it clear that everyone has nothing to talk about.
The difference between Jing and Wei is not enough to describe it.
The more wheels the better, isn’t that a hundred schools of thought contending?
It can also be thrown away at any time.
That means Confucianism can also be thrown away.
Confucianism has worked hard for thousands of years, but in the end it can be thrown away by you?
This is nonsense!
Is there any room for compromise?
Since he wants to fight, let's just keep fighting. Are the Confucian scholars still afraid of him?
