I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 15: Class Monitor Zhu Biao
The four students began to answer the questions stiffly.

Due to different writing habits, they have various pens and inks on hand, both recognizable and unrecognizable.

On the podium, Song Shen strolled around and said:

"Oh, guys, there are some writing tools on hand. You may not know what they are, but I can briefly explain them to you. Anyway, this test only has ten questions, and they are easy points. You are all smart people, so you should be able to finish them quickly."

"The tip of the pen is black and looks like charcoal. It's called a pencil. If you make a mistake after writing on paper, you can use the small square next to it to erase it. That thing is called an eraser. It can erase without leaving any trace."

"Everyone knows the writing brush. Whether it is the Qin, Han, Yuan or Ming dynasties, whether it is paper or bamboo slips, the brushes are almost the same. At most, the brushes used for writing on bamboo slips are thinner, but there is not much difference."

"The last one is called a fountain pen. It also contains ink. But when you write with a fountain pen, you don't have to dip it in ink every once in a while like you do with a brush. It's much more convenient."

"Students can all try out these pens. You can draw freely on the blank parts of the test paper. This is not a formal test, so there are no such rules. As long as I can understand the answers you write later, it will be fine."

offstage.

Zhang Liang, who was sitting in the first row, looked at the test paper, then at the stationery that appeared next to the test paper. He wanted to ask something, but hesitated for a moment and chose to raise his hand first.

Song Shen was very satisfied with his compliance with the rules.

Fortunately, among the four students, there are only two troublemakers, Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shihuang. At least the system gave me two good students, Zhang Liang and Zhu Biao. Otherwise, how could I continue this class!
He waved his hand and smiled:
"Student Zhang Liang, do you have any questions?"

Zhang Liang considered his words carefully and asked:

"Master, I want to know what this test paper is made of?"

"This thing is like silk but not silk. It is more rigid than silk books. The ink does not spread or smudge when writing. Even if you write with force, the ink does not seep through the back of the paper. It is truly a rare thing!"

Song Shen thought about it, then suddenly said:

"Oh, the Western Han Dynasty... No, the Former Han Dynasty, paper wasn't widely used yet."

Zhang Liang was stunned for a long time before answering:
"Is this paper? No, it doesn't look like it!"

"Liang has seen the so-called paper before. It is extremely rough and easily damaged. Once stained with ink, it will quickly spread out and cannot be used for writing. It is completely different from this!"

Song Shen glanced at Zhang Liang's paper and found that he had finished all ten multiple-choice questions in less than ten minutes, while others were still staring at the paper with frowns in thought, so he smiled and said:

"Since you've finished answering the questions ahead of time, I can tell you about this."

"Paper appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, which is the period of the Pre-Han Dynasty where you are. It was cheap, but at the beginning, the papermaking process was not improved, resulting in its rough quality and unusable. At most, it was used as toilet paper to replace toilet paper. It could only play a certain protective role for chrysanthemums, but could not improve productivity."

"During the Eastern Han Dynasty, also known as the Later Han Dynasty, a eunuch named Cai Lun improved the paper-making process. From then on, paper became a writing material that could completely replace bamboo slips and silk."

"But you don't have to worry too much. The test papers you are using now were mass-produced more than 2,000 years after the Han Dynasty. One million sheets of paper were produced every day. Even in Zhu Yuanzhang's time, the papermaking process had not reached this level. If you don't believe me, you can ask after the exam is over."

Zhang Liang sat in his seat, staring at the test paper in a daze for a long time.

He is a smart man. Even if he doesn't know many things in the test questions, he can guess most of the answers through logic.

Therefore, Zhang Liang understood even more how important the improved paper was.

He believed that besides himself, there was another person present who could also understand.

But now is not the time to talk... Zhang Liang suppressed his excitement and waited patiently for the exam to end.

…………

Because there are only ten questions, and they are multiple-choice questions, the exam time naturally cannot be too long.

When the wall clock reached 1:15, Song Shen clapped his hands and said loudly:

"Okay, the exam is over, everyone hand in your papers to the podium!"

Except for Zhang Liang and Zhu Biao who stood up immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ying Zheng did not move, just like two bosses.

Song Shen was almost laughed out of anger by these two guys.

Good, good, the system replica is so perfect, and all the feudal landlord behaviors of these two people are brought in, right?
He pointed at Zhu Biao:

"You will be my class monitor from now on. You will be responsible for managing class affairs, including but not limited to collecting homework, collecting papers, managing class discipline, etc."

"Now, monitor, go collect their papers for me!"

Zhu Biao felt unwell.

Although he had never heard of a squad leader, from the functions just described by Song Shen, it was obvious that this thing was basically similar to the platoon leader, squad leader, or thousand or hundred households in the army. In short, it was responsible for all the affairs of a group under the orders of the superiors.

To be honest, Zhu Biao was also the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty in reality. His father Zhu Yuanzhang had given him great power. He could even inquire about everything he wanted to know in the three provinces and six ministries. Now he was only in charge of three people, so he should not be afraid.

But the problem is that among these three people there is not only his biological father, but also the First Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, and Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, who is one of the most famous of the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty!
Zhu Biao is the youngest and has the lowest status. What qualifications does he have to dare to manage them?
"Sir, why don't you let Liu Hou be the squad leader? I don't have enough experience and I'm afraid I can't do the job."

Zhu Biao chose his words carefully, but his ultimate goal was to reject the position.

Before Song Shen could say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up and interrupted him:

"Song Shen, no, Mr. Song, your arrangement is very good and appropriate!"

"I think Biaoer should be trained like this. The position of class monitor is very suitable for him!"

"Come here, Biao'er, no - monitor, come over here quickly and collect our papers and hand them to Mr. Song for a good look!"

Zhu Biao:......

Dad, you are so brave to say that.

If you are willing to let me be in charge, would the First Emperor and Marquis Liu be happy with that too?
The management difficulty is not much easier than when you started from scratch!!!

When Song Shen heard what Lao Zhu said, the corners of his mouth twitched.

I have to say, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

Zhu Biao deserves the title of the most stable crown prince in history.

From ancient times to the present, is there any emperor who would support his son so desperately? Zhu Chongba, don't love him too much!
