I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 172 Special Economic Zone? !
The next day, at one o'clock in the afternoon.

The tutorial class pulls all students into the lecture hall space on time.

As everyone entered, their eyes all fell on a stranger face. Except for a few people, the rest of the eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion.

In fact, by now everyone has become accustomed to the arrival of new people. Even Yinzhen himself, a newcomer with a pigtail who has just been here once, has heard of the general rules of recruiting new people into the tutoring class, so he does not think it is strange to have new people coming.

The weird thing is……

"Didn't you all say yesterday that you all heard the hints before I was pulled in, which is why you are so hostile to me?"

Yinzhen was quite puzzled. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at Li Shimin:
"But this newcomer... uh, classmate, I didn't hear any news about him coming in."

"Could it be that I will only stay here for a short time, unlike you? Did you all know that he was coming?"

In fact, there was no need to answer. Yinzhen soon realized that things were not as he had guessed.

It wasn't that he didn't have enough authority so he didn't give any hints, but almost no one knew who this person was. None of the new and old students in the tutoring class knew the news in advance.

The reason why I said "almost" is because Yinzhen was the most observant of the emperors present.

It’s not that other emperors lacked foresight, but most of them had not experienced decades of fighting between brothers. Few emperors could pretend to be grandsons for decades before ascending the throne like Yinzhen. Over the years, Yinzhen had already engraved the ability to read people’s expressions into his bones, and once it was needed, his foresight would emerge like a muscle reaction.

Such as now.

Yinzhen felt the subtle atmosphere of the scene, and with Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shimin sandwiched between him, he coughed lightly and spoke.

"Ming Taizu, do you know this man?"

All eyes turned from the strangers' faces to Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't get angry at Yinzhen for pointing this out. It was impossible to hide it. Song Shen hadn't come to class yet, but as long as he showed up, he would definitely introduce new people. It would only take a cup of tea.

He looked steadily at the new student, whose face was trying to remain calm but whose eyes were twitching wildly, and suddenly he smiled.

"Bai Shi, what a coincidence, you are here too?"

"If I had known this would happen, I would not have come to you last night. I would have talked to you after I entered the tutoring class."

"By the way - when did you know you were going to join this tutoring class? Why didn't I hear you mention it?"

The person who came was none other than Li Shanchang, Duke of Korea of ​​the Ming Dynasty and a veteran figure of the Hongwu Dynasty.

Li Shanchang looked at his Majesty's face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and was so gentle that it was frightening. He felt so bitter that he couldn't say anything. Sweating profusely could not describe how he felt at the moment.

Although he didn't know where this damn place was, nor how he was dragged in, he knew one thing.

Your Majesty is suspicious of him, and it is even worse than what happened to Hu Weiyong before!
Li Shanchang trembled as he bowed, then said:

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report. I don't know what happened. I just had lunch at noon and was about to take a nap. Suddenly, I heard a very strange sound. In the blink of an eye, the world spun around and I was here... I really don't know what happened!"

"Moreover, I went to a banquet at the Prime Minister's residence last night. I went home after midnight and fell asleep immediately. I can't stay up late at night now that I'm old. I was so tired today that I didn't even step out of the door... Your Majesty, please understand!"

There was a flash of murderous light in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, but after hearing his words, the sudden murderous intent finally dissipated completely.

It was not because he was suspicious by nature, nor was it because he had any opinions about Li Shanchang.

However, as one of the first batch of students in the tutorial class, Zhu Yuanzhang knew clearly that all the newcomers and old students who came in later would know the news in advance. Li Shanchang was an exception. He appeared here without any warning. He was not sure what was going on with this Li Shanchang in front of him.

The incident happened in a strange way, as it happened at the critical moment when he sent Li Shanchang to act as a spy to Hu Weiyong to add fuel to the fire. He could not help but think about it.

After a pause, the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more genuine. He stepped forward to help Li Shanchang up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't blame me, Bai Shi. You came at such a good time. No one has heard the news in advance. We should find out the reason not only for ourselves but also for all of our classmates."

"Come, sit next to us."

He took the initiative to pull Li Shanchang and pressed him to the left of his position, with Zhu Biao on the right of course.

The person originally sitting on the left seat obviously knew Li Shanchang, but he said nothing. He just glanced at him coldly, then stood up and moved to another seat.

Li Shanchang looked at the man who was about the same age as Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes full of doubts——

He always felt that this person looked familiar. Moreover, he sat at the same table with His Majesty and looked like he knew him. He should be someone in the court, but he just couldn't remember where there was such a powerful figure.

His figure looked like a military commander, but his temperament was not something that an ordinary military commander could possess. Li Shanchang had a good relationship with the high-spirited Chang Yuchun and Xu Da, but those two only had a stronger aura, and did not have such a strong sense of oppression.

If I must say... this man's temperament is like Your Majesty.

Li Shanchang was shocked by his own imagination and quickly collected his thoughts.

But before he could completely hide his emotions, he felt several heavy pats on his shoulders.

"Bai Shi, come here, let me introduce you to him."

When he looked up, he saw that it was indeed Zhu Yuanzhang's palm as big as a palm fan that was patting him.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and pointed at the man who had just made way:
"This is our fourth son, Di'er. You haven't seen him in the past two years, right?"

Li Shanchang: ? ? !

No.

He knew that His Royal Highness Prince Yan had returned to Beijing, and that His Majesty had ordered all the princes to return to Beijing to build houses. However, because he wanted to protect himself and did not want to get involved, he did not visit Prince Yan even though he had been back in Beijing for a while. As His Majesty said, the last time he saw His Royal Highness Prince Yan was when the princes were leaving for Fengyang to train their troops.

No wonder he looks so familiar. No wonder this person knows me and can sit with His Majesty and the Prince!
But how long has it been? How come Prince Yan looks the same age as Your Majesty?

Could it be that the land of Fengyang City can still absorb people's energy, and two years should be regarded as thirty years? !
No matter how good your Qi-cultivation skills are, they cannot withstand such shock and fear.

The shock on Li Shanchang's face was so obvious that everyone else temporarily put aside their suspicions and smiled.

They all knew what was going on with Zhu Di, but Li Shanchang, who had just come in, had absolutely no idea. He would just think that he had encountered a ghost.

Doing these things with newcomers... Zhu Yuanzhang is so damn mean.

"My fellow students, let me introduce you to you. This is the Duke of Korea of ​​the Ming Dynasty, the first of the founding heroes, and the former Prime Minister, Li Shanchang."

"He's not young anymore, and he's been retired for a long time. We didn't expect him to be pulled in here all of a sudden. It seems like he himself doesn't know what's going on."

Zhu Yuanzhang first explained Li Shanchang's identity to others, and then continued to explain to him with a smile:

"The tallest one over there is Qin Shi Huang, and next to him is Meng Tian; the one who is sitting awkwardly and looks boneless is Emperor Wu of Han, and next to him is Zhang Liang, one of the Three Great Men of the Early Han Dynasty; this is Emperor Taizong of Tang, and the Buddhas behind him are Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and Cheng Yaojin."

"You know me, Biao'er, and Lao Si. The rest, except for the one with the pigtail, are all later emperors of the Zhu family. But don't pay any attention to them. They are either idiots or fools. The one with the pigtail - Yongzheng, can you introduce yourself?"

It was difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to calmly tell his old ministers, who were like Xiao He, how the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and how the Central Plains was later ruled by foreign races... Although he had no hostility towards Yinzhen himself, it was still difficult for him to say it out loud.

Yinzhen opened his mouth, but was a little stuck. The other emperors who came after Hongwu had the same strange expressions on their faces as he did.

The four major cases of Hongwu caused such bloodshed, and Li Shanchang was one of the most famous figures among them. How could they not have heard of him?

Thinking about what will happen in the future, and seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang seem to be so harmonious with each other now...

It really sends chills down one's spine.

half an hour.

Yinzhen then tried to collect his thoughts and explained briefly:
"I am the Emperor of the Great Qing, my name is Aixinjuelu Yinzhen, and my reign is called Yongzheng. The Great Qing is the name of the country. I succeeded the Great Ming and ruled the world. My ancestors came from Liaodong and are not Han Chinese."

Li Shanchang: ...

Li Shanchang was now dumbfounded and his mind was a little confused. He didn't care too much that the dynasty that succeeded the Ming Dynasty was ruled by a foreign race.

Does this mean that all the people in front of him are emperors and generals from all dynasties?
But the question is, why are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan exceptions?

It's fine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. According to His Majesty's favoritism, it's possible that he will willingly abdicate the throne to the Crown Prince when he gets older, but what basis does His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan have? If we look at the people mentioned above, regardless of whether they are human or ghost, they are all from different eras. Could it be that the Zhu Di I saw was not the one in the tenth year of Hongwu?
Just like the young prince I saw last night, the middle-aged Zhu Di in his forties, and the other emperors of the Zhu family...

An absurd idea popped up in Li Shanchang's mind.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you. Is it appropriate for me to ask you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hated it most when people said this.

"Don't be so pretentious. Just ask if you want to. We won't chop you down here. No one can chop anyone down."

Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Di and asked cautiously:

"It seems that all of these people are emperors and generals from thousands of years ago. Your Highness the Crown Prince can be considered half an emperor."

"May I ask why His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is here? Isn't he an emperor or a general?"

Zhu Di stared back with a fake smile, and did not ask his father to explain, but answered himself:
"How do you know I'm not?"

In an instant, the sweat on Li Shanchang's forehead flowed down like a floodgate opened, dripping down from his chin.

Turn the Tiangang upside down... Turn the Tiangang upside down!

Zhu Di dared to call himself "Zhen" in front of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?!
He is crazy!

"Hey, we're chatting again!"

Everyone heard a familiar voice and turned to look. It turned out that it was Song Shen who came out of the office and walked onto the podium.

Song Shen took two sips of hot tea from his thermos cup like an old man, and smiled at the students who had gathered together:
"I was planning to introduce you guys, but I didn't expect you guys were already chatting about it."

"In that case, I won't say much. Everyone, go back to your seats. We have to grade Zhu Di's paper first before we grade the next student's paper."

He moved his fingers and clicked the mouse, and Zhu Di's previous answer sheet appeared on the big screen.

“The rating dimensions are as follows—”

“First, is the national policy feasible?”

“Second, whether its level of perfection and scope of consideration are comprehensive.”

“Third, the proportion of positive and negative impacts should be considered comprehensively.”

"Fourth, the extent of the impact on the country's destiny is debatable."

"Five. Personal preference."

"Each of these five scoring dimensions accounts for 20 points, with a total score of 100. Now everyone can write down their own scores for Emperor Yongle Zhu Di on the paper in front of them. The final score will be averaged after removing the highest and lowest scores."

After he finished speaking, paper and pen appeared on the table in front of everyone again, with a table on it. The five elements on the table were the scoring columns that Song Shen had just mentioned.

Only in front of Li Shanchang and Yinzhen did not have it.

Song Shen looked at them and explained:
"You are new here these two days. You didn't participate in the discussion of analyzing Zhu Di's paper last time. It's not fair to let you grade it. Everyone will have a chance to grade the next student's paper."

Li Shanchang didn't mind being excluded. He also knew that as a newcomer he had no position to participate.

But the question is...what is Emperor Yongle Zhu Di?

How the hell is it possible that this low-key Prince of Yan actually became the emperor?
Yinzhen didn't mind at all. He would only stay here for a few days anyway. What he wanted to know most was of course the affairs concerning the Qing Dynasty and himself. He had no interest in judging the previous dynasty and just watched everyone whispering to each other.

"Sir, although the Hundred Chambers have not seen the fourth child's paper, his vision and ability are first-class. Can we discuss it with him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the form and raised his hand and asked.

Song Shen's expression was a little strange, similar to that of emperors in other eras, but he still nodded happily:

"Please."

Zhu Yuanzhang began to explain in a low voice to Li Shanchang the national policy proposed by Zhu Di, emphasizing the dual capital system, because this was basically the tone of Zhu Di's paper.

Li Shanchang just listened, and even though he was still confused about how Zhu Di became the emperor, the more he listened, the wider his eyes widened.

After Zhu Yuanzhang had explained everything clearly, Li Shanchang opened his mouth:
"Your Majesty, I have a question, but I don't know..."

Zhu Yuanzhang:......

He was tired.

"If you have something to say, then say it. Don't hesitate. No matter what you say here, we won't bother with you!"

Li Shanchang saw that he was about to get angry, so he quickly said:

"Your Majesty, I think this seems to make sense. Beiping is a good place to be the capital, but since we are moving the capital, we can no longer keep this name for Yingtian Prefecture."

"Why not first establish the capital in Beiping, and then directly raise the status of Yingtian? For example, the more taxes Yingtian should pay, the more they can be exempted, or southern scholars can spend less money to go to the north for imperial examinations. For example, Beiping and Yingtian can help each other in some areas, such as giving priority to silk and things from the sea to Beiping..."

He did not lower his voice.

Song Shen, who was sitting on the podium, heard most of what Li Shanchang said.

"Fuck, that's awesome."

Song Shen directly gave Li Shanchang a thumbs up.

As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang compared him to Xiao He. It was amazing that an ancient person could think of the existence of special economic zones hundreds of years in advance!
