Chapter 505 Are you spoiling him like this?
Just as Liu Bowen was secretly admiring Li Shanchang, Zhu Biao inexplicably smiled, but his smile was more like a grimace.
"He had planned this all along."
Zhu Biao, his face dark, took out a letter.
"He even planned to recruit a few Taoist priests to teach at the university, saying he wanted to develop a chemistry major."
“My dad is really worried that the students at Dengzhou University will be thinking about cultivating immortality every day in the future.”
Silence reigns in the Eastern Palace tonight.
Li Shanchang felt as if his head had been hit with a hammer; not only was it incredibly painful, but it was also constantly ringing.
Is it something a human being would do to arrest a few Taoist priests and have them teach at a university?
No.
What exactly did Zhu Chongba do in Dengzhou Prefecture?
Instead of stopping such an outrageous thing, he actually wrote back to complain?
Liu Bowen also felt his mind buzzing and in complete chaos.
The world has finally gone mad to the point that I no longer recognize it.
That Yang the Madman was already mad enough, but I never imagined Zhu Chongba would be even more mad.
They actually let that crazy Yang run rampant.
Zhu Biao reached out and picked up another letter.
"The practice of using Taoist priests to teach cannot be stopped."
"Because he used Taoist priests to solve the problem of transporting gunpowder."
"Modern gunpowder not only no longer needs to be broken down during transportation, but its moisture-proof capabilities have also been improved."
Li Shanchang frowned slightly: "These Taoists are really something. I've never seen any of them actually become immortals or attain enlightenment, but they come up with all sorts of nonsense."
Liu Bowen couldn't help but complain: "This is just like you, Brother Shanchang. You can catch all sorts of random things except fish."
Ok?
Liu Qingtian, you old scoundrel!
Zhu Biao wanted to laugh but forced himself to hold it back, and added, "He also needs a few craftsmen who know about firearms."
Li Shanchang's eyes widened immediately. "Your Highness, please be very careful. You must not let him lead troops to participate in the Northern Expedition, and you must not give him the title of Marquis of Champion."
motherfucker.
Although I knew Yang was crazy enough, I never expected that this bastard could be even crazier!
Is there anything in this world he wouldn't dare to do for the title of Marquis of Champion?!
Zhu Biao nodded slightly, while Liu Bowen stroked his beard and asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, didn't you send two craftsmen skilled in firearms to Ningyang County before you ascended the throne?"
"Now, he can talk about several craftsmen."
"Would the higher-ups agree to this?"
Zhu Biao nodded again, "My father has already agreed."
Liu Bowen paused slightly as he stroked his beard, almost plucking out a few hairs.
They even dared to let him play with firearms?
Are we spoiling him like this?
But when Liu Bowen thought about how Yang Shaofeng had solved the problem of gunpowder separation during transportation by using just a few Taoist priests, he suddenly understood Emperor Zhu's approach.
They're just a few craftsmen who know about firearms.
As long as he doesn't rebel, what's a few craftsmen?
If they could create even more powerful firearms, wouldn't those murderers in the Grand Commandant's Mansion be overjoyed?
Just as Liu Bowen was secretly envious, Zhu Biao gave Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen a malicious look, then chuckled and said, "Besides these, there is one more thing I need to trouble the Duke of Han and the Earl of Chengyi with."
Upon seeing the smile on Zhu Biao's face, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen felt a chill run down their spines.
Li Shanchang thought to himself, "I should have submitted a memorial yesterday requesting sick leave!"
Liu Bowen, on the other hand, was thinking that he should retire and return to his hometown!
Zhu Biao seemed oblivious to their expressions and continued, "Besides Dengzhou University, Dengzhou will also build another martial arts academy."
"According to my father's plan, in the future, officers of various ranks, such as commanders of garrisons, commanders of thousands, and commanders of hundreds, will take turns to study at the martial arts academy."
"As for the teaching materials, we need to put in a lot of effort from Gonghe Chengyi, the Korean leader."
“Especially South Koreans.”
"When my father rebelled, the Duke of Han took care of his logistics and supplies. These are extremely valuable experiences."
After careful consideration, Zhu Biao made a last-minute decision to promise Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen a rosy picture: "From now on, all officers of our Great Ming will have to grow up reading the military books written by the Duke of Han and the Earl of Chengyi."
However, in the eyes of Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, Zhu Biao's skills were clearly not very good. The cake he drew was dry and hard, and it was really hard to eat.
Li Shanchang, in particular, is now filled with regret, wondering why his cold hadn't gotten worse.
As for writing books and biographies, and leaving a name in history?
Screw it! I've already pre-ordered "The Biography of the Duke of Han" anyway. Let whoever wants to eat this piece of cake that His Highness the Crown Prince has drawn!
Liu Bowen frowned and asked, "Your Highness, shouldn't military treatises be written by the Duke of Wei and the Duke of E?"
Zhu Biao sighed and said, "No one can escape."
"Duke of Wei, Duke of E, Duke of Cao, Duke of Song, Duke of Wei, Duke of Zheng."
"Marquis of Zhongshan, Marquis of Yingchuan, Marquis of Deqing, Marquis of Yingyang, Marquis of Yuzhang, Marquis of Jiangyin... Marquis of Dongping, Marquis of Yongchang."
"Six dukes and twenty-nine marquises, all of them must be written down."
"Those who cannot write will dictate, and there will be dedicated staff to record and organize the information."
"and……"
After a slight pause, Zhu Biao added, "Moreover, this time I will not only be writing a military treatise, but also a memoir."
"Recalling the battles before and after the rebellion against the Yuan dynasty, recalling every battle, big and small, that I experienced."
"Recalling my time as an official, and the changes in my mindset from before the anti-Yuan movement to the present."
"You can say anything, good or bad, even scold my dad a few times."
"For this reason, my father even wrote back to say that our Great Ming does not punish people for their words."
"..."
Liu Bowen was completely dumbfounded.
Um, can someone tell me what that crazy Yang is up to?
And what about Zhu Chongba? Why does he speak like he's just being hypocritical?
They actually have the nerve to spout nonsense about how the Ming Dynasty didn't punish people for their words!
Yes, the Ming Dynasty did not punish people for their words; censors and officials who dared to criticize the emperor and other officials got away with it.
Even if the common people spread rumors about Zhu Chongba stealing cattle, it won't matter.
But what kind of nonsense is this memoir about? Is it a crime or not?
If I were to honestly and meticulously write my memoirs, what if I accidentally revealed evidence of my crimes?
If we try to cover up the truth, won't you, Zhu Chongba, be unhappy when you see through it?
Thinking of this, Liu Bowen simply glanced at Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang's face was equally somber.
To write or not to write, that is the question.
……
The matter of writing military treatises and memoirs quickly caused a huge uproar in the capital.
The six dukes and twenty-nine marquises were almost all cursing.
Even Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Li Wenzhong and others who usually stood on Yang Shaofeng's side, this time stood on the same side as Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others.
Write, write, write, write your head!
Chang Yuchun even cursed loudly in the Duke of E's mansion: "Damn it, that dog is not even human!"
Zhu Chongba has the nerve to write about his past as a cowherd, monk, and beggar? Does this Duke also want to write about how he led his brother-in-law to become a bandit?
