Outside the front yard, Yan Changqing stood at the door with his hands behind his back. He watched as the carriages of Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and the other princes left.
After a while, Yan Changqing chuckled and lowered his head to say to himself,"
"Young man, you're so gullible."
In the classroom just now, he had bragged about the Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang, and Great Song.
It was simply blowing the Great Qin Empire, Great Han Empire, Great Tang Empire, and Great Song Empire into the sky.
Of course, strictly speaking, he was not bragging.
After all, the data he mentioned had clear sources that could be checked.
Furthermore, the sources of these data could be verified by Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Bi, Zhu Bi, Zhu Di, and the other princes.
However, sometimes speaking the truth was even more difficult to accept than bragging.
After all, after listening to Yan Changqing's words, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and the other princes suddenly realized that their Ming Empire was not as talented as Yan Changqing! He couldn't compare to the civil and martial arts! He couldn't compare to the heroes of the world! It was incomparable to a year's income!
The Great Qin Empire, the Great Han Empire, the Great Tang Empire, and the Great Song Empire seemed to have completely surpassed their Ming Empire in every aspect.
In comparison, their Ming Empire was simply too much!
How could Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and the other princes, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the secret room, not shut up on the spot after hearing this?!!
He even doubted his life!
But in fact, including Zhu Yuanzhang, they did not notice one thing:
The ultimate glory of the Great Qin Empire, the Great Han Empire, the Great Tang Empire, and the Great Song Empire that Yan Changqing had mentioned did not happen in a day when the empire was founded!!!
The First Emperor of Great Qin, Ying Zheng, was able to sweep across the six states and complete the unification of the world.
One of the most important reasons was that the emperors of the other six states were like pigs.
Six generations of wise rulers appeared in Great Qin, and each generation did not forget to go east, wanting to unify the world!
Only when it was the seventh generation of the First Emperor Ying Zheng would he be able to fight for the remaining six generations, sweep the six dynasties, and finally complete the dream of the ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty to unify the world!!!
Similarly, Han Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to expel the Xiongnu from the Great Wall and even send troops to attack Langju Xu Mountain, causing the Xiongnu to flee far away from the desert without a royal court!
This was also due to the rich treasury savings left behind by Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, Liu Heng, and Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Liu Qi.
How much wealth had been accumulated during the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing?!!
The history books recorded: " The capital's money is huge, but it is rotten and cannot be counted. Taicang's grain is piled up one after another, full of dew outside, so rotten that it cannot be eaten.”
What did this mean?
It meant that the ropes used to string the money in the treasury had rotted, and the money could not be counted. The corn in the national warehouse had flowed out, and a lot of the corn had rotted to the point that it was inedible.
One could imagine how much wealth Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng and Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi had left for Han Wu Emperor Liu Che!
Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not stand on ceremony either. He only said one sentence," I don't care about money."
In order to defeat the Xiongnu, he had directly wiped them out in one breath!
Later on, they were so poor that they had to borrow money from the people. They even collected heavy head taxes and property taxes to subsidize the national treasury's military pay!
In the true sense, it was the savings of a country for generations that had been used up to have the glorious achievements that would shine in the annals of history!
The peak of the Great Tang Empire, or rather, the period when its territory was the largest, was the period when Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty ruled it.
The reason why Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was able to create the largest land area in history was also inseparable from the foundation laid by his father, Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
In fact, if one were to look deeper, the reason why Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was able to create the Zhenguan rule was also because he had taken advantage of the Sui Dynasty.
For example, the imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty and then flourished in the Tang Dynasty.
The mature and stable imperial examination system had provided the Tang Empire with a steady stream of talented civil and military talents, and thus made an indelible contribution to Li Shimin's founding of the Zhenguan reign.
Similarly, the peak annual income of the Great Song was 116.13 million, which was the second year of Emperor Yingzong's reign.
The reason why the Great Song could have such a huge annual income was also because of the support and development of agriculture, craftsmanship, finance, commerce, and overseas trade from the previous generations.
In the end, the Great Song reached a terrifying age of 116,130,000.
In other words, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and the other princes, as well as the dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others used to compare.
They were the peak of the Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang, and Great Song that had accumulated for nearly a hundred years!
Now, this Great Ming, who had just been established for twelve years and was still in the growth stage, could use a hammer to compare with the Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang, and Great Song, who had grown to the peak of the ultimate realm!!!
In comparison, it would be strange if the Crown Princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the secret room, didn't shut themselves up.
Moreover, when Yan Changqing was speaking, he had vaguely described the four dynasties, Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang, and Great Song, as one empire's achievements.
In other words, the Crown Princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, and Zhu Yuanzhang weren't actually comparing themselves to the Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang, and Great Song.
Instead, it was a dynasty that gathered the achievements of the Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang, and Great Song at the peak of their respective dynasties. It was an inconceivable dynasty that was at the peak of its power!!!
Imagine an empire with the First Emperor of Great Qin as its Emperor, the soldiers of Great Han as its army, the civil and military elites of Great Tang as its officials, and the annual income of Great Song as its treasury.
Even if such an empire were to face the four peak ultimate empires, Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang, and Great Song, it would still be a crushing defeat!
This was because the Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang, and Great Song all had their own shortcomings when compared to the other peak final realm Dynasties.
For example, the burly man could fight but lacked money.
Another example was the Great Song. They were extremely rich, but they could not fight.
However, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Bi, Zhu Bi, Zhu Di, and the other princes did not realize this.
After they heard what Yan Changqing said, they only realized one thing, and that was that their Big Ming really pulled his crotch, to the point that they despised it!!!
That was why Yan Changqing said that young people like them were easy to deceive.
If they had read two more history books, they would not have been so shocked by Yan Changqing's casual words that they would have become autistic.
