Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 19 019 On "knowledge"! (Third update! Two more updates to come!)

"These are all weird tricks! How can they be considered knowledge?"

After hearing this, Song Yi, who was still angry at first, instantly lost his confidence.

Fortunately, he was not fighting alone, so soon, a group of echoing voices sounded from left and right, once again allowing him to regain his previous confidence.

"That's right! Just some strange skills! How can it be regarded as knowledge? Where did you hear this kind of crooked theory, little emperor?"

"Your Majesty! I think this matter should be investigated! Although the little emperor's grandson is not the crown prince, he is also the future pillar of our Ming Dynasty. I believe that some people with ulterior motives must not lead the little emperor's grandson's path!"

"Professor Zhang is right! Our Confucianism has gone through thousands of years since its establishment, and it has been praised by many emperors and generals! But now, it is actually said by the little emperor's grandson as some empty words. This is really... What a disgrace! I think that in addition to finding out that liar as soon as possible, we should also change the little grandson’s mind as soon as possible to prevent him from going further down the wrong path!”

"Little Carrot Head, you heard what they said. Is there anything you want to say?"

Looking at the turbulent group of people, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had a headache.

However, he did not deny Zhu Congxin easily. Instead, after pondering for a while, he gave him a chance to refute.

He wanted to see Zhu Congxin's reaction.

By the way, let's take a look at what useful things the mysterious man standing behind Zhu Congxin taught him.

Of course, it would be great if we could dampen the spirit of those Confucian scholars.

Although this doesn't seem very realistic.

However, what he didn't know was that after hearing the criticism from everyone, Zhu Congxin, who was still a little casual at first, became a little serious.

"My grandson has nothing to say. I just want to ask these gentlemen, what was their original purpose of studying? Is it to serve as an official or to benefit one party?"

He glanced around, and suddenly asked with a serious face.

Although the appearance is still very cute, but for no reason, it brings a faint pressure to people.

"Of course it's to benefit one party!"

A professor said without thinking.

Although it was against his will, if he didn't admit it, Zhu Congxin would have nothing to do with him.

"Then did you do it? And how did you do it? Just like the flood in Jingzhou last year, how did you solve the food and clothing of those victims, and how did you eliminate the plague brought by the flood?"

Zhu Congxin seemed to know this too, so he didn't delve into it, but continued to ask.

And this question finally stabbed everyone's vitals again.

Yes!

They didn't make it!

Even if they want to fight for face and claim that they have done it, they can't explain why.

What's more, Zhu Yuanzhang actually still holds in his hand the newspaper about last year's flood!

However, being unable to save the disaster caused by a flood does not mean that they will give up!

"Then, little grandson, tell me, how are you going to solve the food and clothing of those victims, as well as the plague brought by the flood?"

"Didn't you say that those things of yours are the real knowledge?"

"As long as you can come up with a feasible plan! From now on, you can do whatever you want in my Song Yi class!"

After giving a cold smile, Song Yi said with an expression like "I've seen through your trump card."

And as he spoke out, the crowd around him started shouting again.

"That's right! It's something we can't do! How can we do those amazing tricks? This little emperor is so cunning and clever! We almost fell into his trap!"

"Isn't it? It is said that the laws of heaven are impermanent and manpower is limited! Since it is a natural disaster, how can it be possible that manpower can resist it? In the past and present, which emperor can truly defeat floods and earthquakes? Aren't they all just trying to make up for the situation? Strategy? This little emperor's grandson clearly wants to embarrass us with an impossible thing! Fortunately, Mr. Song is smart and saw through his trick at a glance!" "Yes! Mr. Song is worthy of being a doctor of our Imperial Academy! His agility in thinking is beyond our reach."

In fact, even Zhu Yuanzhang had a similar idea.

However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and instead felt a little dissatisfied with Song Yi.

why?
Because he is so ignorant of current affairs!

However, just when he was thinking about it and was about to punish Song Yi, Zhu Congxin, who was not far away, suddenly let out a pleasant laugh.

"Since you have said so, I would rather obey your orders than respect you."

"Let's talk about food and clothing first."

"This problem is actually best solved. To put it bluntly, it actually means spending money."

"As for how to spend money, and how to control the transportation and distribution of materials, it is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words."

"Sir, if you want to know, I can teach you slowly."

"As for now, let's talk about the plague caused by the flood."

"But before talking about how to control the plague, we must first understand what exactly is a plague."

"Especially what causes it, but also how it spreads."

"It's like the firecrackers we play in the New Year."

"If you can extinguish its fuse in advance, or cut off its source, there will be no possibility of it exploding."

"So is the plague."

"As far as I know, there are three ways in which floods and plagues occur in the world."

"The first is the pollution of water sources."

"Because after a flood, a lot of filth from the upstream, especially human and animal feces and corpses, will be washed downstream."

"And drinking the river water with these filth, people will naturally have the possibility of getting sick. This is common sense that any fool can know."

"So the more floods pass, the more we have to pay attention to the safety of drinking water."

"The simplest way to ensure the safety of drinking water is to prohibit disaster victims from drinking raw water - no matter how clean the raw water looks!"

"The second is food spoilage."

"Everyone should have seen this before. I won't say more."

"In short, we should try to prevent disaster victims from eating spoiled food."

"Even if you really want to eat, you have to go through the fire first."

"As for the last item, it is naturally due to the living environment."

"It's like a regular farm chicken coop."

"If you don't clean up the feces inside for a long time, the chickens living there will get plague."

"Of course, the bites of some snakes, insects, rats, and ants are actually also a very important trigger."

"So if we want to eliminate it, we must first ensure that the living environment of those victims is clean enough."

“Here, I recommend lime paving.”

"Because this thing can not only drive away many snakes, insects, rats, and ants, but also eliminate some diseases that are difficult for ordinary people to see."
