I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 23 Chongba Wants to Be a Local Landlord
Tianyu coughed twice in succession.
He stretched out his hand to signal the three students below whose eyes were obviously about to burst into anger to calm down.

"Ahem, my situation is not suitable for your reference. You can temporarily not record it."

Zhu Chongba and the other two looked at Tianyu with confusion.

Tianyu explained seriously:
"Science is actually the collection of data. What is data? It is the same conclusions you get from repeated experiments."

"I am not suitable as a model for research. Do you understand?"

Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongliu, and the third sister: "..."

"don't know!"

Tianyu smacked his lips.
Well, it's a bit beyond the scope to discuss this with a group of elementary school students.

He clapped his hands, signaling everyone to focus their attention and said:

"Let's put it this way. From today on, each of you should use your eyes, ears, and body contact more often. Any information and intelligence should be recorded in writing on paper. If you don't understand something, you can use pinyin instead of Chinese characters."

"For example, Lao Liu, you can record the rice seed planting density, germination time, amount of watering, and amount of fertilizer when you are planting."

"Record the relevant data based on the growth rate of the rice seedlings and their growth trend. When you sow next time, you can consider planting the rice field with the better growth trend."

"In this way, when the next round of sowing comes, your rice fields will definitely yield a lot more, and the cycle will continue..."

Zhu Chongliu's eyes lit up.
He said excitedly: "By then I will be able to grow scientifically grown rice that can be harvested every three days just like you, the God of Land!?"

Tianyu: “…”

"Maybe, there's a chance!"

I guess you can just wait until you develop a time accelerator.

When Zhu Chongliu heard Tianyu's answer, he immediately grinned excitedly.

He was already imagining the joy of having endless food in the future.

Tianyu turned to Zhu Chongba and said, "Old Eight, you are the same."

Before, after Tianyu realized that these 'NPCs' were not fixed templates in the MC game, he asked the names of the Zhu Chongba brothers.

As a result, Zhu Chongba opened his mouth with a powerful bomb.
He said his surname was Zhu, his parents were uneducated, and they named him using numbers. Since he was the eighth child, he was called Baba.

Tianyu subconsciously followed and called out "Zhu Baba", and Zhu Chongba immediately responded.
And then... Zhu Chongba didn't even have time to say the subsequent words "I call you Chongba because it sounds unpleasant" before he got beaten up.

Tianyu cursed and said: Damn it, you took advantage of me!

Zhu Chongliu, who was standing aside, saw Tianyu looking at him, and hurriedly said loudly that his name was Zhu Liuliu, which means "six sixes are very lucky", not eight eights.

Therefore, the Zhu brothers became associated with "the sinister Old Six" and "Old Eight's secret hamburger" in Tianyu's mind.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's status as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty,

Tianyu never thought about this.
One reason is that Tianyu had preconceived ideas and always thought that this was the MC world.

The second reason was that Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance was very different from the portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang he had seen in textbooks and the shoe-horn face he had seen in TV dramas.

Coupled with the common people's cognitive bias towards Zhu Yuanzhang's identity,
A cowherd, a monk, a beggar, and an emperor.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly did not have any of the qualities of these four identities. Instead, he gave people the feeling of a nouveau riche.

His appearance is similar to the dull image in the old TV series "Zhu Yuanzhang".

He is completely different from Zhu the Butcher who caused the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty. It would be a miracle if he could be recognized.

Tianyu, who was too lazy to think too much, always treated him as an ordinary person with the same name and surname.

At this time, Zhu Chongba was a little hesitant when he heard what Tianyu said.
He asked Tianyu with some hesitation:
"That land god, can you not farm the land?"

After helping Tianyu purchase supplies during this period,
Zhu Chongba, who had been poor for a long time and had just become rich, no longer wanted to go back to his previous hard life of relying on the weather for food, let alone become a craftsman, which was one level lower than a farmer.

That’s right, in Zhu Yuanzhang’s view, the scientists described by Tianyu are just a group of craftsmen.

He planned to exchange all the money he 'earned' for land.

Then, like Liu Xiaode, you will become a "big" landlord who sleeps until you wake up naturally and counts money until your hands cramp.

Tianyu looked at Zhu Chongba in surprise.
Recently, the intelligence of the NPC Chongba has increased a lot.

In the past, he would just kneel down when we met and do whatever we said, but now he has even learned to talk back.

But Tianyu didn't really intend to let them farm.

What's the point of training a bunch of high-yield farmers with great effort? No matter how high the yield is, how can it be better than what you produce by cheating?

He smiled and said:
"That's right. What's the future of farming? If you want to be an inventor, you can study why the steam converted from boiling water can lift the lid of a kettle, and try to build a steam engine as soon as possible."

Zhu Chongba opened his mouth.
He said to Tianyu with an embarrassed look:

"Lord of the Land, actually I want to be a landlord, buy more land, rent it out every year, then I can collect the rent and marry a few wives to continue the family line."

Tianyu was shocked when he heard Zhu Chongba's aspirations.

Holy shit, how long has it been?
How could a simple poor peasant who carried the bodies of his parents on his back to find a burial ground have been corrupted to this extent? !
The power of silver is truly terrifying!

Tianyu felt that he needed to pull this poor peasant, who had one foot in the abyss, back onto the right track.

Tianyu knocked on the whiteboard and said to Zhu Chongba in a serious tone:
"Zhongba, your idea is very dangerous. A historian once said that the only lesson mankind has learned from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons from history."

"I have reservations about this. Confucius once said that reading history makes people wise, and using history as a mirror can help us understand the rise and fall of nations."

"I feel like I need to teach you a little bit about the wheel of history."

"Xia and Shang and the Western Zhou, the Eastern Zhou was divided into two periods, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period unified the Qin and Han dynasties, the Wei, Shu and Wu were divided into three parts, the two Jin dynasties extended forward and backward, the Southern and Northern Dynasties coexisted, the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties passed on, and the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties..."

Tianyu was suddenly stunned when he said this, and a strange expression flashed across his face. Looking at Zhu Chongba's gaze, Tianyu changed the subject and continued:
"In the 21st century, oh, that is, in the fairy world, history has proven that with the advancement of social productivity, the status of farmers will gradually improve."

"Being a landlord is not a promising career. What you need to do now is to work hard to develop science, improve social productivity, and enable poor people like you to live a good life like you."

"Think about your parents, think about your brothers and sisters. They ended up in such a miserable end because of the oppression of these landlords and gentry."

"Now you actually want to join the camp of the culprit who killed your parents. This is such a sad thing."

"As the ancients said, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. Now that you are rich, shouldn't you give back to the world and become a cornerstone of social progress?"

Zhu Chongba opened his mouth in bewilderment.

Although he didn't understand, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart for some reason.

It seems that once I become a landlord, I will become a villain in the world who does all kinds of evil.

Tianyu didn't wait for Zhu Chongba to respond. He patted Zhu Chongba on the shoulder and sighed.

"Chongba, you are the one I value most. I hope you won't let me down!"

"Okay, get out of class is over. Go back and think about it carefully."

Zhu Chongba: “!##@……!???”

Tianyu finished the lecture in a hurry. He carried his third sister onto the Huaniu and walked quickly into the forest.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not notice at this time that Tianyu, who had his back to him, had a strange and complicated expression on his face.
