The secret box written by Zhang Lu on behalf of Zhang Shou appeared on the emperor's desk immediately. When he saw Zhang Shou claiming that the Ruiqiying soldiers were stationed around, it was too easy for the officials and the people to speculate, so it was better to leave Shanhaiwei behind.
The soldiers act as defenders. If you are still worried about someone trying to escape or even plotting evil, or outsiders are spying on you, then just send a few imperial servants to stay here.
Faced with this petition, which was obviously not written by Zhang Shou, the emperor couldn't help but flick the small piece of paper angrily, and said angrily: "He just has students who can be dispatched at will, and even such a petition is ghostwritten!
He thinks that there are a lot of soldiers from the sharp cavalry battalion standing there, attracting too many people's curiosity, don't I know? If there is anything wrong, can he explain it? "
After all, the emperor also knew that what Zhang Shou asked for was indeed true to every word, so when he saw the third prince standing by and hesitated to speak, he said helplessly: "Sanlang, you don't need to say anything, you, the teacher, please do as you please."
That's right, I'll ask Hua Qi to pick out a few quick and smart imperial servants to help him when I get back. If you have time to worry about your teacher, you might as well worry about Shiro."
"Even if the fourth brother was betrayed by the teacher, he would still count the money for him." The third prince smiled slightly, and when the emperor glared at him, he knew what made his father angry, so he immediately said again, "The fourth brother is so stupid."
He took off his clothes, so he didn’t like all kinds of rules since he was a child. He likes to be closest to his father the most, because his father has never been in charge of him, so he lives a very comfortable life."
"And now he likes the teacher so much because the teacher has the most fantastic ideas and doesn't restrict him very much. He never has to worry about having nothing to do, and he doesn't have to be bored in the palace studying every day."
"What's wrong with being bored in the palace and studying every day? I remember back then, I was also bored in the palace studying every day! Don't look at how happy Mrs. Ge is now and seems to be very amiable. I think back then he really dared to hold a ruler..." I thought
When Ge Yong tasted the ruler, the emperor stopped abruptly and snorted softly.
"Even if the content of Mrs. Ge's lectures is lively and interesting, after all, it is impossible for me to indulge you and Shiro like Zhang Shou and let me do whatever I want! Therefore, in this regard, Zhang Shou is really better than his master.
.”
"In the final analysis, you are lucky now. I am blocking you. Zhang Shou is young and capable but still tough. Otherwise...you, the crown prince of the East Palace, will have to study in Ciqing Palace every day until you get dizzy, and listen to the same old tunes every day.
Again! Emperor Taizu said back then that what scholars in the world, especially those famous scholars and sages, love to do most is academic disputes."
"The greatest honor in life is to make one's own knowledge an official school. The imperial court loves to select the knowledge that is most beneficial to ruling the world as an official school, and then brainwashes it from top to bottom. The emperor listened to them every day when he was still a prince.
Set, since the world is united, the emperor and the officials and gentry rule the world together!"
"So I feel sad every time I think about it now. I think that after Emperor Taizu established the throne, he thought it was too troublesome to govern the country with all the complicated matters, so he tried his best to train Emperor Taizong, but in the end he gave up too early.
He disappeared overseas again, and the system he set failed to become an official school. Otherwise, why would it be so laborious to open a Jiuzhangtang?"
"Why did Zhang Shou have to find another way to open a public school? Isn't it good to promote it directly in the Imperial College or even in prefectures and counties all over the world?"
After saying this in one breath, the emperor seemed to think that it was useless to say this anymore, and he gradually stopped. After a long time, he looked at the third prince who had been established as the East Palace.
"So, I actually really hope that those so-called envoys are real, and I really hope that the descendants of Taizu who founded the country overseas are also real. Without the shackles of many official families and local wealthy families, a brand new country that can be used at will has been established from scratch.
It will surely be much easier to govern.”
If Zhang Shou heard the emperor's words, he would definitely laugh and feel that the emperor really thought too much. To build a country from scratch is to survive through hardships.
People in later generations talked about how rich America was, how a land given by God, and how many new food crops and cash crops were available... But they also didn't take a look at the time spent in discovering America, plundering America, and then colonizing America.
Moreover, it also increased the wealth of the suzerain country through a large amount of plunder, and the wealth in turn stimulated the development of science. Otherwise, how could there be any subsequent leaps?
Can the poverty of small European countries with a small population support such huge ambitions?
Moreover, although the climate in the Americas is generally good and much stronger than that in Africa, there are also various hurricanes and tornadoes every year. There are no large livestock and few leafy vegetables. The most important thing is that Emperor Taizu's team is
It was not the well-prepared colonists who went to find the New World!
It would be fine if he came back quietly to transport various materials and personnel supplies after arriving there, but if this was the first time he came back, he was not optimistic at all about this so-called Haidong country that calls itself China! What's more, it is possible
is fake.
After the fourth prince, the so-called servant, went to deliver the food and drinks, he really patiently watched the others eat, and then slipped back after a long time. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted: "Teacher, teacher, the skin color of those so-called envoys is worse than that of others."
The people here are a little more mature, but they are similar to the people I met in the countryside of Baijiacun. Other than that, I can't see any other differences."
Zhang Shouzheng was writing furiously at his desk - after all, after compiling a total of ten volumes of Gurdjieff's arithmetic, his new textbooks were somewhat unable to keep up. Physics was on the way, and he had not yet had time to cover chemistry. Although he himself had no time to cover advanced mathematics.
I studied well in college, but memory is memory. It takes a lot of effort to organize the memory into teaching materials, so I have to seize every moment.
Therefore, when he heard the fourth prince yelling, he asked without raising his head: "Oh, what else? What other big discoveries are there?"
Although Zhang Shou was still focusing on writing, he did not turn a deaf ear to his words. The fourth prince was already very satisfied, so he went around in a circle and approached Zhang Shou and said flatteringly: "What's more, they just talk to each other.
Our people are the same, the Mandarin in the capital is spoken in a straight and round tone. You must know that the Mandarin in the capital was promoted by Emperor Taizu, and is quite different from the original dialect in the Gyeonggi area."
"Teacher, I don't think they look like foreigners!"
Hearing the fourth prince's confident statement, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile. He finally put down the pen and rubbed his wrist. He glanced at the quill with satisfaction and thought that the blond boy was really good after he came. Although
I can’t use pencils, pens and the like, but I finally have a quill. After all, it doesn’t matter other times, it’s really tiring to write formulas with a quill!
Immediately afterwards, he raised his head and said to the fourth prince with sincerity: "Just because they look similar does not necessarily mean that they are from the Ming Dynasty. And the similarity in language may also be the result of the words and deeds of the group of people led by Emperor Taizu.
.After all, as long as the skill is deep, even a foreign barbarian country can learn the elegant sounds of our heaven."
There are many theories about the origin of the American Indians. The speculation that the Yin people traveled eastward once had a large market. Moreover, in the few famous ruins in the Americas, whether it is historical materials or various murals, there are always living people.
Sacrifice, killing people with blood flowing like rivers, is almost completely similar to the most popular human sacrifice in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, not to mention the oracle bone inscriptions discovered.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Shou smiled and told the story that he had told Zhu Ying and Lao Xianyu before, that Youhou Xi led an army to cross eastward to Haidong Continent. Although he still used the excuse that it was a legend.
, but the fourth prince was still very excited when he heard it. The naughty boy's head was full of excitement, and he didn't consider at all that various history books these days all derogated Shang Zunzhou.
He even grabbed Zhang Shou's sleeve and couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher, teacher, what happened to Youhou Xi later when he came to the Haidong continent? Did he kill everyone and respect the Yin Shang Dynasty?"
"How do I know?" Zhang Shou suddenly laughed, "I have only heard people tell such a legendary story. As for Youhou Xi's follow-up, I don't know. And, if you ask me to tell you, even if he really has some information,
Wan Dajun even brought a corresponding number of women and children to Haidong, and then they could thrive. However, it is too difficult to develop in a strange and isolated continent."
"Even if they originally had writing, etiquette, and other excellent things that were no less than those of the Zhou people, think about it. After the Shang Dynasty, through the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, I heard Youhou Xi
These three words? No doubt, no. In other words, even if those people went to a certain continent east of the sea, they never came back."
"They may have completely forgotten their ancestors a long time ago, and they may have become barbarians in our eyes!"
The fourth prince's expression finally changed. Although he was always reluctant to refute his teacher, at this moment he was still unconvinced and said: "Is it possible that what the teacher means is that even if Emperor Taizu's fleet is really
Drifting to Haidong Continent, they also forgot their ancestors? But you said before that Old Xianyu found a stone tablet there!"
"Perhaps the stone tablet was left there by other people like him after they crossed the ocean?" After asking a question, Zhang Shou smiled and touched the stone tablet, which he clearly said was a fake, but still seemed to
I really hope that Taizu's group of children really drifted to Haidong Continent, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait until they have eaten and drank enough..."
"I'll go see them again."
The fourth prince was immediately shocked: "Teacher, shouldn't it be more effective to meet them when they are tired from the journey, tired and hungry? I saw that when they were eating, they were all exhausted.
It's about to be buried in the bowl. I probably won't be able to eat much before I want to sleep."
"Oh, according to what you said, I'll go now."
Seeing that the fourth prince was really dumbfounded this time, Zhang Shou laughed: "When a person is tired and hungry, after eating and drinking, of course he will want to sleep. But once he is extremely sleepy, no matter how rigorous the training is, everyone will
Their caution and vigilance will be reduced to the lowest point. What's more, I am not going to trick them, I just plan to talk about home affairs."
"It's even harder to fake something that talks about daily life."
Before the fourth prince could say anything else, he said bluntly: "So, Zheng Jing, you follow me. You, the servant, have to work hard to the end. The emperor will be waiting for you to report back!"
At this moment, the fourth prince was truly satisfied. He no longer had any objections and followed Zhang Shou with his head held high. As for things like identity, the naughty kid had completely forgotten about it. In the public school
After hanging out with those poor students for so long, and also hanging out with a group of poor boys in Baijia Village for so long, he no longer cares so much about his once most important identity.
Of course, the big reason for this is that the third brother became the prince. Therefore, when he arrived at the door over there, this man who was a real man even took the initiative to open the door curtain, then turned a little sideways and said very attentively
Said: "Sir, please come in."
Hearing this call, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Huahua inside shuddered at the same time. When they saw Zhang Shou coming in calmly and calmly, they took a peek and looked like a waiter while he was busy serving food and wine.
The four princes all felt that the scene in front of them was too weird. Little Peanut even seriously considered whether he should drag Xiao Cheng and run away.
Zhang Shou saw that someone had already stood up in a hurry. The cups and plates on the table were in a mess. The hot pot and shabu-shabu dishes were carefully prepared. The vegetables were motionless at the moment. All kinds of meat had been swept away. The meatballs had moved slightly, but there were still some left.
There was a lot of food. As for the stir-fried dishes, almost all of them were empty, as if they wanted to lick the plates clean.
In contrast, no one touched the pot of rice piled up like a hill.
Seeing this, Zhang Shou couldn't help but glance at Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng, who were standing at the side. As a result, Xiao Peanut immediately said aggrievedly: "Master, I told them, just eat rice with vegetable soup."
It's the most delicious, but they all refuse to eat it, saying they've never eaten it before."
Zhang Shou saw that there were only six people in this room. They could sit down at the Eight Immortals table, but two tables were specially set up before, so now there were three people standing next to the two tables. Most of them looked embarrassed when they saw him.
He looked uneasy. He didn't know how to move his hands or what to say. At first glance, he didn't look like a very knowledgeable or wealthy person.
Having said that, Zhang Shou knew that what he saw with his eyes was not very trustworthy, so he smiled and made a gesture and said: "Sit down, there is no need to be so restrained. Since you are the descendants of my imperial ancestor, then
They are also the subjects of my dynasty."
The fourth prince was very disapproving after hearing this, but he was now Zhang Shou's boy servant, so he could only lower his head and curl his lips quietly. However, he thought that no one else had seen it, but the little peanuts and Xiao Cheng opposite him were so sharp-eyed.
In fact, they all saw it clearly. And among the six so-called envoys who seemed a little timid, some also saw this scene keenly.
But the person who noticed the contemptuous look in the fourth prince's eyes exploded immediately: "Master, we are indeed not the noble adults in our Chinese mission, we are just the accompanying escorts, because we are not the same as the main ship.
We were separated and had no idea of our direction, so we worked hard to find a warm and non-freezing place to anchor and disembark, but we are by no means thieves and bandits!"
No wonder the fourth prince didn't believe that people came from Haidong Continent. These people really spoke Chinese very well. Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but an even more refreshing smile appeared on his face: "Oh, let's put it this way, it's not easy for you.
I just found this ice-free harbor? Then I want to ask you something. When you sail along the coast, do you go from north to south?"
