Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 183 Gaozu cut the snake, Pingdi returned his life

"superstitious?"

Zhu Biao heard Su Jing heard this word again, and he was a little strange: "Master Su, what does this superstition mean?"

What are superstitions?

Su Jing was stopped by Zhu Biao's questioning.

After hesitating for a while, Su Jing turned to Zhu Biao and asked, "Niu Yi, do you believe me?"

"Naturally believe it."

Zhu Biao nodded.

Su Jing continued to ask: "Do you believe everything? Do you believe me when I say that I can produce [-] shi of grain tomorrow?"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Students believe it."

"That's superstition."

Su Jing immediately said.

The explanations that come from your own eyes are always the clearest.

Superstition is blind faith worship.

However, at this moment, Zhu Biao immediately retorted: "Mr. Su, what is the meaning of this? The students believe in the teacher. Ten thousand shi of grain is not impossible with Master Su's ability."

He is not stupid, he naturally understands the example Su Jing gave.

But he didn't think his trust in Su Jing was superstitious.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Niu Yi, Niu Yi, how many times have I told you that I love my teacher, and I love the truth more, why don't you always listen to it?"

Su Jing found that Zhu Biao's blind worship of himself had reached a point of madness.

"With Master Su's ability, it is indeed possible to raise [-] shi of grain in one day."

Zhu Biao still said seriously.

Su Jing was helpless, and turned to say: "Then I said that I can go to the moon, do you believe it?"

This time Zhu Biao was silent for a long time, and after thinking about it, he said: "I'm not sure, but with Master Su's knowledge, maybe there will be a chance in the future."

"Look, isn't this a superstition?"

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao, really didn't know what to say.

Good guy, even going to the moon is possible.

This simply made Su Jing not know what to say.

Zhu Biao replied: "Mr. Su, the student has really thought about it seriously. Mr. Su has taught me so much knowledge. I think it is very possible to fly into the sky in the future."

Su Jing was completely speechless, this was the Ming Dynasty, how could it be possible to complete the industrial revolution and modernization by himself alone.

Zhu Biao is really superstitious about himself to a certain extent.

"Niu Su, tell me, is your elder brother superstitious?"

He could only turn his gaze to Zhu Xi who was eating beside him.

Zhu Wei thought for a while and said, "Master Su, the students think that what the elder brother said is not unreasonable. Master Su is best at creating something from scratch. Even if you fly to the moon, it may not be impossible, but the time may be longer."

It's over! It's over!

Hearing Zhu Wei's words, Su Jing didn't know what to say.

I didn't expect my two apprentices to have such a level of trust in me.

"Forget it, forget about me, anyway, you can understand what superstition means."

Su Jing chose not to dwell on this issue for the time being.

Good guy, I called Zhu Biao a superstition, but I ended up talking about myself.

"The so-called superstition refers to blind worship. Take the incident of Han Gaozu Liu Bang beheading the white snake uprising as an example. Maybe Liu Bang really beheaded a white snake during the uprising, but the specific process is definitely not Gaozu beheading the snake. Emperor Ping also ordered So mysterious."

Su Jing said to Zhu Biao.

At this time, Zhu Huan asked: "Master Su, what does it mean that Gao Zu killed the snake and Emperor Ping returned his life?"

Although the younger Zhu Wei has also read history books, he only knows about the White Snake Uprising, and he doesn't know much about it.

Su Jing smiled, looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Niu Yi, explain to your brother."

Zhu Biao nodded, and then said: "The emperor Gaozu killed the snake, and Emperor Ping ordered him to say that when Han Gaozu Liu Bang killed the white snake, the white snake turned into a huge white python, and the white python said: "You The debt owed must be paid back. If you cut off my head, I will usurp your head, and if you behead my tail, I will usurp your tail.” As a result, Liu Bang cut the white python from the middle into two pieces with one sword. Half."

"So the Western Han Dynasty passed to Emperor Han Ping, and the white snake reincarnated Wang Mang, poisoned Emperor Han Ping, and usurped Han as a new one. Later, through Guangwu Zhongxing, Wang Mang was wiped out, and the Han Dynasty was restored and the Eastern Han Dynasty of the Liu family was established. Coincidentally, each has been handed down for more than 200 years."

"This is the saying that Emperor Gaozu killed the snake and Emperor Ping returned his life."

After listening to this, Zhu Lu asked earnestly, "Brother, can boa constrictors still talk?"

Can pythons talk?

Zhu Biao was immediately asked this question.

"Of course not. This is just a superstitious story."

Su Jing said immediately.

Zhu Wei is still young, Su Jing doesn't want him to be influenced by such superstitious thoughts.

Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing and said, "Master Su, the fact that Emperor Ping returned his order is a lie, but Han Gaozu Liu Bang killed the White Snake Uprising, how can it be a superstition? You also said that this matter may be true."

When Bai Mang opened his mouth, Zhu Biao didn't really believe it.

But Han Gaozu Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake Uprising, that is no longer a myth.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "Then tell me, how the "Historical Records" recorded the White Snake Uprising."

"Is there a theory of Red Emperor and White Emperor?"

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "That's right, there is a saying in "Historical Records Gaozu Benji" that my son Bai Dizi also turned into a snake and became the Taoist. Now he is beheaded by the Red Emperor, so we cry."

"The Red Emperor refers to Han Gaozu Liu Bang. It shows that Han Gaozu Liu Bang is the destiny."

Zhu Biao still studied "Historical Records" very seriously, and remembered the content very clearly.

"good."

Su Jing nodded and said, "Then Niu Yi, do you really believe in the destiny? Do you think Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was able to overthrow the Tyrant Qin and build the Great Han because of the so-called destiny?"

If you ask this question to ordinary people, you may immediately have an affirmative answer.

But Zhu Biao has learned everything from Su Jing's side, from the phenomenon to the essence of things, he has learned to look for the law.

Moreover, Zhu Biao is still the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was already the son of Shizi as early as Zhu Yuanzhang's time as King Wu.

He watched how Daming was established.

Destiny?

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "Master Su, the students think that the success of Han Gaozu Liu Bang was due to the lack of justice in the Qin Dynasty, and Liu Bang obeyed the people's will to win the world."

The importance of the people is what Zhu Yuanzhang often emphasized to Zhu Biao.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is also ranked among the most famous among the emperors of all dynasties in terms of the importance he attaches to the common people.

Of course, paying attention does not mean that he can make the people live the best life.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao, frowned, and said, "Look, don't you know everything about it?"

"So, to put it bluntly, the White Snake Uprising, just like you moved the alchemy furnace, gradually became what it is now as it spreads."

"Then let me test you again, why did the White Snake Uprising evolve into these rumors, even myths?"

Hearing Su Jing's question, Zhu Biao immediately began to think.

After a while, he replied: "Master Su, the students thought that this was the people's reverence for Han Gaozu, and they spontaneously put their imaginations on Han Gaozu."

"Han Gaozu overthrew the Tyrant Qin and made their lives better. They went to praise Han Gaozu."

Zhu Biao explained this matter from the perspective of the common people.

Su Jing took a sip of the food and said, "There is some reason, but why does the "Historical Records" record it like this? As a classic record of history, shouldn't it be fair and objective?"

Unlike what the common people say, Shiji is an official record.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "Maybe this is true? The students thought it was possible to say the Red Emperor and White Emperor."

After all, the time for science is too short.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and continued to ask: "Then let me ask you again, did the Red Emperor and White Emperor's statement come about after Liu Bang killed the white snake, or did it come out later?"

"To put it bluntly, did Liu Bang tell others about the Red Emperor and White Emperor himself? Are there any bystanders?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "Master Su, there must be no way to know."

The events of the Han Dynasty have passed more than a thousand years from now.

Su Jing smiled and said: "So, regardless of whether it is true or not, let's think about it. Is this matter recorded in "Historical Records", will it be of any benefit to Han Gaozu Liu Bang?"

Regardless of whether it is true or not, I only want to benefit.

Zhu Biao was a little confused by Su Jing's operation, but he still thought about it according to Su Jing's thinking.

"Master Su, the students understand. This is to let the people of the world recognize Han Gaozu. Han Gaozu is a man of destiny, and the establishment of a great Han is predestined."

Zhu Biao said to Su Jing excitedly.

But only a moment later, he said again: "But when "Historical Records" was completed, it was the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"At this time, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had long since died."

Liu Bang is dead, what's the use of this recognition?
Su Jing said: "But the Liu family is still there. The more mysterious Han Gaozu Liu Bang is, and the more he is destined by fate, the more stable the position of the Liu family will be."

"Did Emperor Wu of the Han really just want to praise his great-grandfather Liu Bang? The position of emperor is not as simple as you think."

Liu's location.

That is the position of the emperor.

The position of the co-lord of the world.

Zhu Biao just felt shocked, such a simple matter, under Su Jing's narration, contained such deep meaning.

But if you think about it carefully, what Su Jing said is generally the same.

"So, Master Su, is this also called superstition?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.

Su Jing shook his head and said: "This is called superstition. Using this method to control the ignorant people and stabilize one's own position can be regarded as a usage of public opinion. Although it seems that the time span is a bit long, the effect is in Continuously taking shape in a subtle way.”

"Combined with other means, such as the White Horse Alliance, set the oath of 'not the Liu family, not the king', so that the Liu surname became orthodox. Until now, don't we still call ourselves the Han family."

"Tell me, is the Liu family far-sighted enough? It's been so many years since the big Han people, and we still call ourselves Han people. It was obviously the first emperor Yingzheng who founded the first unified dynasty, but no one says we are now. He must be from Qin."

Su Jing talked eloquently, but he didn't read these things in any orthodox historical books.

There are too many messy interpretations in the previous life, and Su Shi occasionally reads them, and remembers the ones that make sense.

This will be used to brag about Zhu Biao, which is just right.

Sure enough, Zhu Biao's expression changed after hearing Su Jing's words.

Zhu Biao had never thought about the title of Han people before.

Listening to Su Jing talking in such detail, and carefully imagining those things in the Han Dynasty, it turned out to be exactly as Su Jing said.

Does this public opinion still have such a powerful effect?
"Master Su, how to control public opinion?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.

After hearing so much, Zhu Biao already attaches great importance to public opinion in his heart.

"If you want to control public opinion, then you have to talk about this matter in detail, and I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it for a while."

Su Jing continued to eat, and said lightly.

As the CEO of a listed company in his previous life, he encountered many public relations crises.

In this regard, Su Jing still has a lot of experience.

However, there is still a big difference between the Ming Dynasty and Su Jing's previous life.

This is really not an easy thing to explain.

Zhu Biao immediately cupped his hands towards Su Jing and said, "Please also ask Su Jing to teach me."

"Eat first! Let's talk after eating!"

Su Jing knew that Zhu Biao was excited again.

As long as he talks about something, Zhu Biao wants to learn it.

Fortunately, Su Jing is used to it, so just learn it.

But eating is a big event, and eating first can have follow-up.

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao immediately picked up the food, very fast.

……

In Fengxian Hall at this moment.

Li Shanchang was standing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, looking at the infrastructure plan written by Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang had also seriously thought about this plan.

But people's livelihood is not what he is best at.

Li Shanchang is mainly responsible for making money, and in Zhu Biao's plan, money and food are the most important.

"Well, Shanchang, what do you think about this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang clasped his hands and replied: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, the suggestion of His Highness the Crown Prince, I think it is not appropriate."

"Well, let's talk about it, it's all wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't change his expression, he just asked.

Li Shanchang said: "Relief through work is definitely a very good way, which has been very well tested in the previous disaster relief."

"But things like building roads and bridges, using this method, I think it won't work."

"Under the Ming Dynasty, there were indeed quite a lot of poor people, but if you want to use this method of work for relief, it is already a big project to screen out the situation of the people, and the officials below will inevitably have people with ulterior motives."

"What's more, the national treasury is not yet full, and His Majesty still needs to use troops. There is really no extra money and food to do this."

"I think that the construction of roads and bridges is directly obtained from the collection of corvees from the local area."

Li Shanchang was well-founded and directly refuted Zhu Biao's method.

He lowered his head with a serious expression, as if he was completely thinking of Daming.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished listening, he was silent for a while, and asked, "Shanchang, is this really not feasible?"

Li Shanchang respectfully said: "Your Majesty forgives my incompetence, there is really no other way."

"Okay, I see, you go down first."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and let Li Shan grow up.

As soon as Li Shanchang left, his face darkened slightly.
