Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 253 The Long-awaited Lesson

Zhang Yifan saw them all staring at him and knew that they wanted to know.However, he did not say anything, and just continued to whet their appetites: "You are all fighting, so you should know how much impact the emergence of firearms has on war, right?"

For the three famous generals in front of them, this answer is unnecessary.Especially the power of firearms after Zhang Yifan's improvement, they have a deeper understanding.

Therefore, when Zhu Di heard it, he became excited immediately, and asked curiously: "Is it really like a firearm? Wouldn't that change the battle situation greatly?"

"That's right!" Zhang Yifan listened and immediately said with a smile, "What I will lead them to do next is a good thing that will change our lives, just like firearms changed the form of war. It can even be said that this kind of With the continuous improvement of things, our people's lives will undergo earth-shaking changes, the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty will become better, and Ming Dynasty will become stronger and become a country that other countries cannot surpass!"

Upon hearing his words, Zhu Di, Xu Da, Lan Yu, and even the maids standing nearby all showed incredulous expressions.

They couldn't imagine what it was that could have such an exaggerated effect?
Let the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty become better, and Ming Dynasty will become stronger and become a country that other countries cannot surpass!

To be honest, no one, including Xu Da, could think of what it would be!
The hall was much quieter. Almost everyone, like sculptures, kept their expressions as they listened and stared at Zhang Yifan's posture.

After a while, Zhu Di came back to his senses and couldn't help asking: "What is it that can have such a big effect?"

If it were said that this was still the ninth year of Hongwu, when Zhang Yifan had just passed through the soul, and he said this, no one would take it seriously and just ignore it.

If it is said that Zhang Yifan said this when he first became a son-in-law, it might lead to floods of impeachment, accusing him of deceiving the public by accusing him of being uneasy and well-intentioned, just like those cult propaganda.

But now, Zhang Yifan said this after he had made considerable achievements and proved that he could create miracles time and time again. At least the three people present did not doubt that Zhang Yifan was exaggerating, but just I can’t think of what the thing Zhang Yifan was talking about is?
This is the recognition Zhang Yifan has gained through hard work over the years, which is the so-called qualifications!

However, after Zhang Yifan heard Zhu Di's questioning, he just smiled lightly and said, "You want to know? I won't tell, but I will teach in class, so you can listen."

At this point, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and then added: "Oh, by the way, I remembered it. You don't need to listen to what my father said. You can go ahead and do whatever you want. You will know when I make it." Got it!"

Zhu Di: "..."

He knew very well that this big brother-in-law was trying to help him!

After coming back to his senses, Zhu Di did not care about his face in front of Zhang Yifan, and immediately replied: "Live until you are old and you will learn until you are old. What's wrong? I'm so eager to learn. Is it wrong?"

This is indeed true. Zhang Yifan couldn't refute it, but he still said: "If you specialize in martial arts, you should lead your troops and clear out all enemies for the Ming Dynasty. What I do is to enhance the national power of the Ming Dynasty. The division of labor is clear. When your son grows up, I can teach him again!"

When Zhu Di heard the answer, he was satisfied, but also a little worried, so he asked again: "When my son and daughter grow up, what if you have finished teaching them all the good things?"

His eldest son is the Crown Prince of Yan, who will inherit the title, needless to say.The others are his daughter who is four years old and his second son who is just over one year old, obviously too young.

For him, he was really worried, because he was afraid that Zhang Yifan had taught him all the good things!
No one else spoke, just listening to the two of them talking.Listening so carefully that they forget what they are doing.

Zhang Yifan laughed when he heard Zhu Di's words, and then replied: "Didn't you just say that there is no end to learning? Have you finished learning knowledge? Can you finish doing good things? Let me tell you, according to my In terms of learning, there is learning everywhere in heaven and on earth, and there is no place where learning can be used to create good things. Are you afraid that your son or daughter will not be able to make good things when they grow up?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he asked in shock: "You mean, everything in the sky and on the earth can be made? What can be made in the sky? Something that flies like a bird?"

When he heard what he said just now, he felt that it meant something like this.But he felt that this was really unimaginable, so he turned to his father-in-law to confirm: "I just heard that this is what Yifan meant, right? He said that things in the sky can be created? Is that right?"

Zhu Di was afraid that Zhang Yifan would deny it, so he had to recruit a like-minded person, or a companion, to confirm the matter.

When Xu Da heard the question, he came back to his senses, nodded and agreed: "I heard, Yifan does mean this. But it's impossible to fly in the sky, right?"

When Zhang Yifan saw him, he immediately said before Zhu Di came to ask him: "Why is it impossible? In fact, it has already existed before. For example, Kongming lanterns, kites, etc., isn't that right?"

"..." When Zhu Di, Xu Da and others heard this, they were immediately speechless.

They thought there were some profound things flying in the sky, but they didn’t expect them to be just kites or sky lanterns. They were really excited!

After coming back to his senses again, Zhu Di said helplessly: "So it's these things. I was really scared by you just now. I thought you could build things that fly in the sky and have as big an impact as firearms on war." Where’s the stuff!”

In the main hall, when the topic came to this point, the palace maid who had forgotten to do anything in shock just now became aware of her responsibilities again.Lan Yu also continued to eat and drink.

The prince-in-law's words seemed a bit exaggerated. I was really frightened by him just now.

Zhang Yifan looked at them like this, and finally looked at Zhu Di, and asked calmly: "Do you underestimate these things? Then let me ask you, why can kites fly in the sky? Why can Kongming lanterns rise into the sky? Have you ever thought about why? No? Have you ever thought about understanding these inner principles and then transforming them, so that people can use the things you create to lift into the sky?"

Zhu Di: "..."

He usually likes to fight, so he would think about these things. When he heard Zhang Yifan's continuous rhetorical questions, he was dumbfounded again.Xu Da, Lan Yu and others all stopped moving again, attracted by Zhang Yifan's rhetorical question, and finally realized that what Zhang Yifan was referring to was not just kites and Kongming lanterns!
Zhang Yifan saw that they were thinking, so he continued to ask: "Do you want to know how the clouds in the sky are formed, and what are they like above the clouds? In other words, what is there above the blue sky... …”

His rhetorical questions immediately dominated the atmosphere in the hall again, and it suddenly became quiet again, making everyone in the hall forget their actions.

After Zhang Yifan asked a lot of things, he looked at them and said in a very affirmative tone: "There are too many things that need to be clarified in the knowledge of this world. My knowledge just happens to find out the truth of these things. Basic knowledge, as long as you learn it well, you will be able to understand one truth after another that is difficult to understand and imagine, and apply what you have learned based on the truth you have discovered. I can guarantee that as long as this continues, we humans will dominate this world in the future There is no place in the world, above the sky or under the sea, that I can’t go to.”

Listening to his description, Xu Da, Zhu Di and others were stunned.

Zhang Yifan's words were really unimaginable for them!

In fact, we can't blame them. In the entire history of mankind, there has not been much change in the previous thousands of years. Human imagination can only be expressed with the help of myths.

..............................

Although there were only a limited number of people at this celebration banquet, there were many palace maids serving them.In terms of the total number of people, it is not good.

Zhang Yifan's words, after the banquet, spread widely in a short period of time without any surprises because they were extremely topical.

The students who arrived in Peiping were all young people between the ages of 26 and [-]. They were full of excitement, and with the expectations of their family elders, they won a place among many people. Thinking of it, when he arrived at the place, he was left hanging by the eldest son-in-law for almost a month.

At this time, some students were already anxious and had some complaints.However, after Zhang Yifan's words in Prince Yan's Mansion came through, everyone immediately felt that if they had any objections, they were afraid that Zhang Yifan would find out and fire them.

Finally, Zhang Yifan spread the word that he would officially start classes in three days, which made these students very excited.

As a result, what everyone did not expect was that on the day Zhang Yifan came to class, all the servants in the academy had changed.

The original servants were all older, at least middle-aged.As a result, on this day, they were all replaced by young men. At first glance, they didn't look like they were working, but more like studying.

Someone asked curiously and found out that these people were the children of powerful people in Peiping. They were not on the student list, but they really wanted to attend the Prince Consort's class, so they used money to buy those servants to take leave and replaced them with taking turns. , by the way.

This kind of thing, since ancient times, there may be one or two studious people who have done this kind of thing.But most of them can't afford to read, so they use this method.It's not the children of powerful people who use this method, how embarrassing!
But this time, it was obvious that they didn't care whether it was embarrassing or not.The reason is actually very simple. I just want to hear what the prince consort said to these students, which can create good things that can change the world, make the people of Ming Dynasty live better, and make Ming Dynasty stronger!
What if after hearing something and then being able to make something like this, he was just pretending to be a servant?No matter how embarrassing it is, it doesn’t matter!

After these students figured out this matter, they suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.If they, the formal students, fail to understand the knowledge of the Prince Consort, and are instead outcompeted by these pretended servants, then they will really disappoint their families and themselves!
What they didn't expect was that when the time was approaching, King Yan and Princess Yan rushed over with their eldest son, Xu Da, Lan Yu and others.

Zhang Yifan's group of students was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang. There were 30 men and 20 women, a total of 50 students.To be divided into two classes of teaching.Now Zhang Yifan is giving the lecture. According to the previous notice, everyone must attend the same class and squeeze in. They can barely fit in.

But now, a lot of people came uninvited, and the classroom obviously couldn't be crowded.

After Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing came over after hearing the news, they were speechless when they saw this scene.

So, he simply held the class in the courtyard outside the classroom.

Fortunately, at this time, it was the last ten days of September in Hongwu 14. Even here in Beiping, it was still not cold, so it was not a big problem.

After a while of commotion, everyone finally got into their places and could start class.

Zhu Jingjing stood aside with her child in her arms, watching Zhang Yifan walk to the podium under the eaves and stand up to start class.

At this time, there were at least more than 80 people inside and outside the courtyard, and the originally spacious courtyard seemed a bit crowded.However, there was absolutely no sound. If there was any sound, it was only the sound of wind.

Zhang Yifan looked at everyone looking at him with expectant expressions. At this time, he had already practiced, calmly, and still said in a very confident tone: "There are a lot of people here today, I also know What are you here for, so without saying anything, let’s get straight to the point so as not to make your trip in vain!”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di opened his mouth and laughed silently.What this brother-in-law said was so exaggerated that if he didn’t listen to it, he wouldn’t be able to sleep well at all!
Under great expectations, I heard Zhang Yifan say: "The knowledge I gave before is mainly divided into three categories: arithmetic, physics and chemistry. In fact, there are more categories, which will be taught in the future. Now, I will say the following You must remember these three categories. Arithmetic is the foundation and is necessary to learn physics and chemistry well. And as long as you learn physics and chemistry, you can create unimaginable good things!"

Having said this, he paused, looking at the faces eager for excitement, and then continued: "What I am going to talk about today is an application in physics. You have figured it out and built it based on the principles you have figured out. When something new comes out, it will change our lives in the future, the kind of earth-shaking changes!"

This is the purpose of Zhu Di, Xu Da and others putting down any airs and running here, and they are all very satisfied when they hear that they want to get what they want.

Everyone is looking forward to it, wondering if they can understand what the great prince consort said with their own abilities.Although I used to lead soldiers in wars, or something else, maybe I can figure it out!

Just as they were thinking and looking forward to this, they saw Zhang Yifan on the podium, turning his head to one side and signaling to his bodyguards. Then they saw the bodyguards move out something and display it in front of everyone.
