Su Bai's casual words made the father and son who were eavesdropping next door break out in cold sweat.
A change that had never happened in a thousand years?
Even though the problem of setting the capital of the Ming Dynasty was indeed very tricky, these words were too exaggerated.
"Nonsense!" Zhu Biao slammed the table and stood up. He bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said,"Imperial Father, please let your son bring Fourth Brother back.”
"Fourth brother is still young and his mind is still immature. He has heard too many filthy words and can't be sure that he will be affected.”
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, but he still shook his head and said calmly,"
"Boss, don't be anxious. We know what to do.”
"But Imperial Father!"
Zhu Biao was really anxious now. He was afraid that his troublesome brother would say something he shouldn't have.
However, before he could ask again, Zhu Yuanzhang looked over and said,"
"You should know better than us what kind of person Fourth is.”
"Before this, have you ever seen Fourth Brother treat any other gentleman with such respect?”
"Mr. Smith's words are exaggerated, but we can't agree with him.”
"But I have to admit that the questions he just mentioned have been bothering me.”
Zhu Biao was stunned on the spot. His brows were filled with disbelief as he blurted out,
"Does Imperial Father really have plans to move the capital?”
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh and nodded. He smiled bitterly and said,"Yes, I am."
"The reason why I didn't mention it to you is that I have nowhere to move to. Big Ming is in a dilemma right now.”
"Even you didn't notice the problem, but Fourth Brother was able to follow Mr. Su's train of thought and quickly noticed the key.”
"Isn't this a huge improvement?”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao was deep in thought.
"Imperial Father, you mean that this Teacher Su is not a traitor?”
"It's hard to say for now."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't show his emotions on his face, but he was also very curious about Su Bai. He signaled Zhu Biao to keep quiet and said:
"There's no rush. A fox will always reveal its tail. Having talent is one thing, but where to put it to use is another.”
...
"Mr. Smith, why are you getting more and more ridiculous?”
Zhu Di's face twitched. He was also frightened by the words just now. He laughed dryly.
"Hehe, we are all ordinary people. Who has lived for a thousand years? I really don't think so."
"Not to that extent? Why wouldn't it be!" Su Bai stretched lazily and complained:
"You really should read more books. Your brain is full of paste and can't move at all.”
Elder Zhu Di scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly begged for mercy,
"Mr. Smith, don't blame me. I've never liked to read since I was young. I get sleepy when I see things with words.”
"This thing comes from the roots. My father was originally illiterate.”
"Don't make mistakes!"
On the other side of the wall.
The veins on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead were throbbing. If it wasn't for the stone wall separating them, the soles of his shoes would have already hit him.
"Fourth Bro, that little bastard, even dares to tease his father?!”
"Did we not like to study back then? We couldn't afford to study back then!"
"How can I study when I'm starving?”
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's furious rage, Zhu Biao held back his laughter and advised,
"Imperial Father, please calm down. When Fourth Brother is released, your son will help you vent your anger.”
"You're still locked up lightly. You haven't suffered enough, little bastard!”Zhu Yuanzhang's neck turned red as he cursed.
Back to the other side.
Su Bai changed into a more comfortable position. He put one hand on the stone table and propped his head up with the other hand. He didn't keep her in suspense.
"First of all, you have to understand the underlying logic.”
"For thousands of years, the rise and fall of dynasties have been inseparable from the words 'satiety' and 'warmness'.”
"The commoners have no worries about food and clothing, and they live and work in peace and contentment during the peak of each dynasty, and vice versa.”
"For example, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, which is closest to us, the land of Hua Xia was filled with starving people. It was like hell on earth. Back then, Emperor Wu Hong joined the Red Scarves Army to rebel because he did not have enough to eat.”
Zhu Di's expression was solemn. He knew his old father's glorious 'business history' very well.
Ever since he could remember, his ears were about to get calluses.
Su Bai paused for a moment." Now that I've finished explaining the basic logic, let me ask you again. What was the root cause of the decline of Meng Yuan?"”
When he was asked about this, Zhu Di's aura suddenly changed. He punched the stone table with his sandbag-sized fist.
"The Yuan dogs are tyrannical, they don't treat us humans as humans, and they enslaved us Han people like dogs!”
"The imperial court changed its policies from morning to night, and chaos was everywhere. It was corrupt and corrupted, and it was even indulged in debauchery. It was obsessed with enjoyment and did not care about the lives of the common people!”
" If it doesn't subjugate the country, who will?!"
Su Bai waved his hand, signaling the young man to calm down." What you said was the direct cause of the destruction of Mengyuan, not the root cause.”
"What the hell is that? Where did all these reasons come from? Wasn't it just four words?”
"Tartars deserve to die!"
Zhu Di's eyes widened as he panted heavily.
"Are you done? If you continue to talk nonsense, I'll go back and catch up on my sleep." Su Bai held his forehead with one hand. He had no idea what to do with this hothead.
After all, he was the second generation of a noble family. His father had followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world. He hated the Tartars the most. This was understandable.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Smith, please continue. I was just angry and couldn't control myself for a moment.”
Zhu Di was a little embarrassed. He quickly cleaned up the food on the table and gave Su Bai a place to lie down.
He had seen Su Bai's ability more than once in the past month.
He knew everything. There was nothing Su Bai couldn't answer except the questions he couldn't think of.
In his opinion, Su Bai's knowledge and vision were not inferior to Liu Bowen and Lee Shan Chang!
Soon, Zhu Di cleaned the table and slightly bowed to make a gesture of "please". Su Bai didn't stand on ceremony and took up half of the table. He explained while yawning:
"To put it bluntly, the root cause of the destruction of the Mengyuan Kingdom is nothing more than a natural disaster. As for what you said, it's a man-made disaster.”
"Floods, droughts, locust plagues, earthquakes, plagues, famines, countless.”
"No land without disaster, no year without famine.”
"Also, don't underestimate the tenacity of the descendants of Yan and Huang. As long as there's even the slightest hope of survival, no one will be willing to lie down and wait for death.”
"And the last straw that broke the camel's back was the unreasonable extreme cold natural disaster!!”
Su Bai turned his head and looked at the shocked Zhu Di. He said seriously:
"As I said just now, the change of dynasties since ancient times has always revolved around the words 'satiety' and 'warmness'. When these two words cannot be satisfied at the same time, it also indicates that the world is in chaos!”
" Once upon a time, Shandong and Huaibei were rich in water and grass, and countless generations of Han children were raised there. But now, the cultivated land has become a horse farm, and it will take a long time to recover. Countless fertile fields have been destroyed by those damn animals.”
" The land that was riddled with holes had no fields to grow in the first place. The common people could not eat enough, and they also suffered from the extremely cold natural disaster that was rarely seen in a thousand years. There were 716,981 hungry people in the three prefectures of Jiyang, Hua, and Jun, and the eleven counties of Yuan City, and there were even more people who were not recorded.”
"If we don't rebel now, when will we?"
Zhu Di was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off. He said thoughtfully,
"So, what Mr. Smith means is... Big Ming would also be tortured by the extremely cold weather and fall into a cycle of not having enough to eat and not having enough to wear?？”
"Not bad, you're right this time."
Su Bai shook his head and sighed. He patted the shoulder of the person beside him and said helplessly:
"Actually, you should have noticed that in the past few years, winter has entered earlier and colder year by year. Now that the autumn tiger has just passed, the cold wind is already rustling."
"This is what I meant by a change that has never happened in a thousand years!”
"The world will be reshuffled again. Whether China, the giant dragon, will stand tall or turn from prosperity to decline, from being respected by other countries to being bullied by other countries, will be the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.”
"This will be a watershed!"
Zhu Di was so shocked that he subconsciously shivered.
