Chapter 49: Lord of the Land, We Are Back to Conquer People with Virtue
As the son of destiny, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to rise to the top among the founding emperors of all dynasties. In addition to the fact that heroes are made by the times, it was naturally also due to his innate political acumen and military talent.
When he attacked Fengyang, he never thought of starting an uprising immediately, nor did he think of rebelling.
He just wanted to see if what Tianyu taught him was useful, and to expand the manpower of Taoyuan Township.
It is too small to be in Dongxiang. The whole village has only about 200 households.
Even though he has taken away most of the poor people, there are still only more than 200 people in the entire Taoyuan Township.
It is nothing but a foolish dream to expect these few people to accomplish the great cause that Tianyu mentioned.
Tianyu is only responsible for digging holes but not filling them.
After giving Zhu Yuanzhang a general direction, he continued to wander around on his own.
This is a common problem among many modern people.
no patience.
Whatever he does is entirely based on his own interests, and his main goal is to do what his heart desires.
If this happened before the time travel, people would definitely ridicule me as a shut-in with no ambition and wasting my life.
But now that Tianyu has infinite life, this shortcoming does not seem to be a shortcoming.
Because he has too much time to waste.
Those who have a high tolerance for mistakes in life have no friends.
But this made life difficult for patriots like Zhu Yuanzhang who were influenced by the advanced ideology that was force-fed into their brains.
This irresponsible teacher painted a pie for himself and then said,
'Because, therefore, scientific principles do not need to be explained. You can use your own eyes to find the problem. If you cannot solve it, then come and ask me.'
Zhu Chongba had no choice but to follow Tianyu's "scientific method".
While comparing the different social structures of the outside world and Taoyuan Township, I was thinking about how I should go about changing the outside world.
Then I would go to Tianyu to ask any questions I had.
Tianyu's answer was also ambiguous, he just said whatever he thought of.
As a modern person, the main point is that what I say may not be correct, but it certainly sounds reasonable.
As for systematic teaching?
Forget it, sometimes Tianyu doesn’t even know what he’s talking about.
Under the influence of fragmented big data, he only has a basic understanding of everything.
It's sheer nonsense to ask him to give you a specific 123.
If Tianyu asked him to recite a few laws and regulations, he could tell Zhu Chongba about them.
However, laws are time-sensitive, and modern laws are basically not feasible in the Yuan Dynasty.
Moreover, the law is the bottom line of morality. In guiding people to abide by laws and regulations, Confucianism is much more useful than the law at this time.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang could only rely on his own talents to filter out information that was useful to him.
Now he got two main pieces of information from Tianyu.
Develop agriculture and develop the economy.
Agriculture requires research on hybrid rice, while the economy requires the beginning of the Age of Discovery or fighting against landlords.
The reason why Zhu Chongba gave himself the title of Marshal was
It was because Tianyu casually said that a navy marshal was the most powerful in the Age of Discovery. The navy marshal would become the leader who controlled many departments such as the navy headquarters, navy branch, navy scientific forces, and the criminal investigation bureau.
It was because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly asked the militia to call him Marshal Zhu.
But he could never imagine in his lifetime that the navy that Tianyu boasted about was just a plot in the anime he watched in his previous life.
But art comes from life and is higher than life.
The prototype of the navy in One Piece has the shadow of the Pacific Police.
There was no big problem for Tianyu to let Zhu Chongba act in accordance with the general direction of the navy.
As long as the means of production base can keep up, the implementation of all systems will be easy.
As a densely populated country, China's greatest resource at this time is its people.
For any power, the people are a burden in such a disaster year.
But for Taoyuan Township, which is far from reaching its material carrying capacity limit, these are all precious treasures.
In Tianyu's words, the most valuable wealth in the 21st century is talent. Zhu Chongba, who had no one to use, agreed with this statement.
So he decided to start an armed revolution with Tang He and others to practice their skills, and they could also rob a government office to save gunpowder for the land god.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not follow Tianyu's advice and use the steady and cautious approach to infiltrate the Farmers' Assistance Association.
He chose the method that everyone uses.
The fox is taking advantage of the tiger's might.
With the help of Tianyu’s name, a drama of gods descending to earth was staged.
Facts have proven that metaphysics is obviously more useful than science in this era.
Just like the saying that has been circulating for several years, "The stone man with one eye, the Yellow River is jumping and the whole world is in rebellion",
In contrast, it advocates equality for all.
They prefer to believe that gods have descended to earth.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was followed by thousands of poor peasants with their families.
Almost all the poor and middle peasants in Fengyang County were deceived by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The rest were either landlords and officials whose properties were confiscated by the people,
Either they are rich peasant tenants who don't have the courage to participate,
In short, all those who took action were worried about being purged by the court and had to follow Zhu Yuanzhang to leave their homes and go to Taoyuan Township.
Fortunately, this group of people are at the bottom of society. Even if they do not revolt in the face of a disaster, they will face the dilemma of being starved to death by their families.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has taken the lead, they see hope of survival.
Now, each of these people was carrying several loads of grain and following Zhu Yuanzhang on the rugged dirt road.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted them to throw away the food and go into battle lightly. After all, the thing that Taoyuan Township lacked the least was food.
But he also knew that if he really said that, it would probably cause a riot among these poor people, because they were risking their lives just for this bite of food.
Therefore, he had no choice but to lead this group of people to migrate slowly.
Fortunately, Fengyang County is not far from Taoyuan Township.
By evening they finally arrived at the foot of Donglu Mountain.
At this time, the people who followed him were a little anxious.
Didn't you say you were going to a paradise? Why did you end up at the foot of such a desolate mountain?
This desolate mountain has dense forests and steep cliffs...
Wait, the woods are dense and the cliffs are steep?
All the people looked up at the sky in astonishment. The 90-degree cliff that had risen to a height of 20 meters made them look stunned.
What the hell? When did a mountain appear here?
They are all residents of Fengyang County, how could they not know what Donglu Mountain looks like? It has only been two months since they last saw it, so how come there is such a straight cliff?
Zhu Chongba looked at the people who were looking up at the "city wall" and smiled.
When we first saw the might of the Earth God, we were also shocked.
Only a god could build such a terrifying city wall in less than a week.
Zhu Chongba turned around and shouted to the stunned people:
"Next, everyone line up! We are about to enter the fairyland. If anyone makes trouble, the gods will punish you. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words reminded some people of the horrific scene when TNT exploded today.
They immediately stood there in fear, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to shout "Open Sesame", a ten-meter-long tunnel appeared on the cliff.
Everyone stared at the tunnel that appeared out of nowhere with wide eyes and knelt down in shock:
"The gods have appeared! The gods have appeared!"
Tianyu rode a cow and walked out from the other end of the tunnel carrying his third sister.
He saw Zhu Chongba standing opposite him, startled.
"Are you back from buying gunpowder?"
Then he saw the dense crowds of people behind Zhu Yuanzhang and his eyes widened.
"Worri, where are you going to traffic in people?"
Zhu Chongba smiled at Tianyu with a simple and honest face:
"In reply to the Lord of Land, we did business with the imperial court according to your instructions, but they disagreed, so we silenced them by convincing them with virtue."
Tianyu: “???”
