People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 220 I’ll teach you the art of slaying dragons! The real answer to dynasty change!

The things Chen Han said were very general.

If ordinary people heard this, they would definitely think this is nonsense.

But as a royal family of the empire.

The things that can be accessed are definitely not accessible to ordinary people.

What they learn is often not something that others can learn.

Therefore, they have deep inner ability to accept these strange and strange knowledge.

It's much stronger than the average person.

Or maybe it's because they stand higher than the average person.

It is easier to understand what Chen Han said.

The average person must be acting very impatient.

But they all became serious.

Because at first they thought Chen Han told them.

Maybe it’s just how to make money.

But later on, they discovered that making money was no longer so important.

Instead, they are discussing how to change the destiny of the country.

After all, it involves the issue of maritime bans and the management of various countries in Southeast Asia.

These are macro layouts at the national level.

Now the expressions and expressions of these princes were no longer as excited as before.

Instead, he immediately became serious.

Especially Zhu Di, King of Yan.

This prince with pioneering vision.

He quickly learned different things from Chen Han's words.

Chen Han took a sip of water and then ordered outside: "Bring up the map!"

"The so-called map is what is now known as the Kanyu map."

Chen Han explained it to the princes present.

When it comes to maps, King Yan and King Jin are the most familiar.

They march and fight, especially in the vast desert, if there is no map.

Then everyone would have to be trapped alive in the desert.

But when they saw the eunuchs put a map as big as the blackboard Chen Han took out just now.

And the labels on many things above are different from the maps you see.

The princes present were all stunned.

Especially Zhu Di, King of Yan.

He stood up immediately after seeing the map.

Then came over.

I looked at the map carefully.

"Is this a Kan map? Where did you get such a detailed map of Kan map?

Even among the most elite armies, it is difficult to obtain such a detailed map. "

Seeing how shocked King Yan Zhu Di was, King Jin stepped forward.

I also looked at it carefully.

It is densely marked with countless geographical coordinates.

And the distance between each city is marked just right.

King Zhu Di of Yan understood.

Chen Han didn't say in advance how useful other books were.

The map alone is enough to make him a marquis.

You must know that without space telescopes in ancient times, it would be difficult to make such a detailed map.

Being able to master such an accurate map is the dream of every man who marches and fights.

And if such a map falls into the hands of the enemy.

Then you don't know how much damage it will cause.

But now they saw that Chen Han could take it out casually.

This is too far-fetched for them.

What kind of person Chen Han was was a question mark in their hearts.

"Brother, this..." King Jin was as shocked as King Yan Zhu Di after reading it.

What he meant was that such a map could not be controlled by a courtier like Chen Han.

This must be an important weapon in the emperor's hand.

King Zhu Di of Yan also meant this.

For the first time, he even felt that Chen Han's mission was dangerous.

It would definitely not be a good thing if such high-definition maps were lost to the public.

How could Zhu Biao not see what they were thinking in their hearts.

Even Chen Han knew from the look in their eyes that they were wary of him.

Zhu Biao explained: "Chen Han has some secrets that you don't know, but my father and I both know these.

What can be shown in front of you today is our royal secret.

As long as you guys know. "

hiss……

After Zhu Biao said these words, King Yan Zhu Di's eyes changed.

The meaning is obviously that this must be something related to the fate of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Wouldn't it be even more mysterious what Chen Han is going to say next?

This time the atmosphere in the entire duty room became different.

Even in a moment, King Yan Zhu Di felt that he still underestimated Chen Han.

There are countless secrets hidden in the angles of this boy.

And my old man and eldest brother have known this secret for a long time.

At this time, the other princes no longer had the same relaxed expressions as before.

Everyone is sitting upright.

Chen Han also became serious at this time.

He stood on the podium and looked at all the princes present.

"Princes, we just laughed and made trouble, and we have roughly clarified the issue of the shares of the Ming Chamber of Commerce.

I think you must have a big question, why should we establish the Daming Chamber of Commerce?

Why do you have to go to Southeast Asia, which you think is a barren and barren place to open up?

My Ming Dynasty has a vast land that cannot be cultivated?

And now I am going to answer your questions, and at the same time, I am going to teach you a lesson that will definitely shock you after listening to it!

I believe that after listening to my lecture, your understanding of dynasty change will be overturned.

I want to bring you new knowledge! "

When Chen Han said such words so seriously, even Prince Zhu Biao was surprised.

Chen Han looked at Prince Zhu Biao: "Father-in-law, you know where I come from, and you should also know that my knowledge must have been verified at all levels, so what I am going to talk about later can be called dragon slaying!"

All the princes were astonished after hearing this.

Prince Jin even blushed and shouted loudly: "Chen Han, what are you talking about?"

After all, their eldest brother Prince Zhu Biao is still here.

Chen Han actually said that he would teach them the art of slaying dragons.

Doesn't this teach them how to rebel?

The other princes also have ugly faces. Can they say this casually? “Chen Han, do you know what you are talking about?”

"I tell you that we are the princes of the Ming Dynasty, and we will never let you continue to act like this!"

"Brother, don't let him talk nonsense!"

"Yes! How can you say such nonsense!"

Just as Zhu Biao was about to speak, he heard another voice from outside: "Let him continue!"

Everyone stood up quickly when they heard this voice.

Even Prince Zhu Biao stood up.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" the prince who was close to him outside shouted.

It is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang had arrived a long time ago and just listened outside without making a sound.

The door was pushed open.

The old man stood at the door energetically, looking at Chen Han with eyes full of amusement.

When the princes saw the old man coming, they hurriedly came over and saluted: "My sons, please see your father!"

"Everyone, sit back down! We are also here to listen to the class today. We really want to know what kind of dragon-slaying skills Chen Han wants to teach you?"

With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang also walked in and sat next to Zhu Biao.

"Monkey boy, start your lecture!"

With the old man coming to support Chen Han, Chen Han felt more confident.

"Okay! Since the old man is here too, I won't be polite!"

The princes saw that the old man had such a high tolerance for Chen Han, what else could they say.

So they all sat down.

Chen Han said: "In today's class, I not only want you to know the real reasons for the change of dynasties over the past thousands of years, but also to find a way for me, the Ming Dynasty, to avoid bad luck.

I have never taught you this lesson in a systematic way before, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness.

And the reason why I want to talk about it today is because I think the time is right. "

The old man smiled and said: "Okay, I know you are a bastard, so don't be nagging and start quickly. Old man, I can't wait any longer."

Chen Han laughed loudly: "Okay, old man, if you are so anxious, I will start now."

King Yan and the others heard that Chen Han dared to call the emperor "old man", and the old man was really not angry.

I was very shocked in my heart.

Who is the old man?

It is a hundred times more powerful than a tiger, killing countless people.

Ordinary people would not dare to breathe loudly when standing in front of him.

Even sons like myself feel trembling when standing in front of the old man.

What kind of magic power does this kid have that allows the old man to treat him like this?

Just when the princes were surprised, Chen Han had already started his lecture.

"Before I give the formal lecture, I want to introduce a new concept to you!"

As he spoke, he wrote two words on the blackboard - climate!

"This hyphen is very common, but one climate is not the other. Climate here refers to the multi-year average conditions of the atmosphere in a region. The main climate elements include light, temperature and precipitation, among which precipitation is an important part of the climate. elements.

If you want to understand the rest of my lecture, the concept of climate is especially important!

Okay, let’s officially start the lecture!

Before giving the lecture, I would like to ask the princes here, what factors do you think caused the collapse of the dynasty? "

When the princes heard such a simple question, they immediately started to answer it in a variety of ways.

"It's so simple. It must be because the emperor is not doing his job properly and is living in debauchery!"

"It could also be that the taxes are too heavy and the officials are forcing the people to rebel!"

"Alien invasion is also the reason!"

"No! I think land annexation is also a big harm!"

"If the emperor doesn't practice virtuous government, God will bring disaster. Just like the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, they were all debauched and overthrown by our Ming Dynasty!!"

The princes answered all common questions.

After hearing these words, Chen Han smiled slightly: "Princes, what you said are just superficial and do not touch on the fundamentals!"

Zhu Biao felt better after hearing this. He also believed that the fall of the dynasty could not generally avoid these factors.

But why did Chen Han say that this was just an appearance?

Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned on the spot.

At the beginning, he rebelled and raised troops under the slogan of expelling the Tartars and regaining the land of the Han people.

If it were not for the excessive debauchery of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, it would mean that the Ming Dynasty was not correct in overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty. Such a conclusion is very dangerous and is not conducive to rule.

Fortunately, everyone here is his own family, and there are no outsiders. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to let Chen Han continue talking.

Chen Han explained: "The rise and fall of dynasties is closely related to the alternation of warm and cold climates!"

This?

When Chen Han came up with this topic, everyone was stunned on the spot.

This angle is really tricky and they have never thought about it.

Of course, the most important thing is what the ancients learned, and they did not pay special attention to the relationship with climate.

Because the ancients did not fully understand nature.

Changes in the weather were often attributed to the emperor's virtues.

Colds and disasters are all caused by the emperor's lack of virtue.

This is due to Confucian education.

Confucian officials have the power to use climate disasters to restrict the emperor. How could they explain the causes of climate and classify it as natural.

If it is not classified in this way, then what right do they, the officials, have to point fingers at the emperor?

How to have the mystery of being able to communicate with God.

These are all tricks they use to fool the people.

Even the emperor is accustomed to using these to show his virtue.

As long as it's a good year, it means that he, as an emperor, is doing very well.

So it all goes hand in hand.

Of course, this can also explain why most emperors of the Ming Dynasty were regarded as faint emperors.

That's because the Ming Dynasty's [-] years were in a cold period, so the emperors of the Ming Dynasty had reasons to be called faint emperors.

In this way, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also quite unlucky.

"I know you will be very surprised when you hear this conclusion, so I will answer your questions now."

As he spoke, he covered the blackboard with a large stack of written materials that he had already prepared and copied.

His information was copied on paper as big as the blackboard, and the characters were also very large, just for class use.

"Everyone, let's first explain the situation of the three ancient dynasties - Xia, Shang and Zhou.

The two dynasties of Xia and Shang [-] to [-] years ago have existed for thousands of years. In addition to the semi-primitive social attributes of the newly established country, they have a warm and humid climate, high food production, and rich species.

Take Chang'an in the Central Plains at that time as an example. At that time, there were bamboos everywhere, including deer and bamboo rats!

Water deer and bamboo rats are both beasts that can survive in warm climates.

And is it still available in Chang'an now?

Shang Bing, tell me, have you ever heard of hunters hunting water deer and bamboo rats in Chang'an? "

When Zhu Shangbing heard Chen Han ask him, he looked confused. He stood up blankly and said, "Sir, I have never heard of the two beasts you mentioned!"

What Chen Han said was actually based on the research results of later Professor Zhu Kezhen.

But he couldn't say that this was because later isotope tests were used to determine that the bones were from five to six thousand years ago.

Now let Zhu Shangbing answer, just to tell Zhu Biao and the others that the current climate is much colder than three or four thousand years ago.

Many species that existed at that time did not exist in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Shangbing even replied: "Sir, let alone the bamboo rats you mentioned, there are very few bamboos near Chang'an now!"

This confirmed Chen Han's statement.

Zhu Biao was convinced. He was mainly shocked that the change of dynasties was actually related to the weather...
