Chapter 248 The Nanming King Rebelled

After hearing this, some corrupt scholars and country gentry became deeply worried that all this would come true, and began to try to persuade the people.

"The Fu family father and son" are the generals who stole the world, and they have no legitimate reason to do so.

If everyone wants to live a better life in the future, they should still support the orthodoxy.

The poor people began to sneer after hearing a few words.

"The previous dynasty was legitimate, but what's the use of it?"

"My newborn baby starved to death because my wife was so hungry and had no milk!"

"You said they will impose heavy taxes in the future? Will there be no heavy taxes if there is a new emperor?"

"If you want me to support a new emperor, you should give us some food..."

"I just want my family to live, no matter who rules the world!"

If you just talk big but don't deliver anything, who will listen to you?

When the King of Donghu and the King of Nanming heard the news coming back from various places, they looked at each other in confusion: What should they do?
Are we really going to give them food?!

King Nanming had a slightly bigger picture and hesitated as he looked at the fine salt in the bowl in front of him.

"How about we sell the salt we have on hand before their fine salt is put on the market in large quantities?"

The King of Donghu was worried: "Are there enough weapons? If not..." It would be very troublesome to start a rebellion!

The King of Nanming bared his teeth: "Fu Zhonghai and his son are good at fighting. If we want to fight them head-on, it won't work just by relying on weapons... We still have to rely on the people."

Only by concentrating the power of the people can we achieve the trend of a single spark starting a prairie fire.

“How to rely on the people?”

"They have food, and so do we!"

"They use food to get the people to build water conservancy projects. We use iron tools to get the people to exchange food for us and work for us..."

The King of Nanming first partnered with the King of Donghu and issued a notice in his fiefdom to exchange grain for ironware.

When the people heard the notice, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ironware has always been strictly controlled and is very valuable.

No one has extra ironware...

However, some families who had no more food in stock could not resist the temptation and carried their large iron pots to exchange for food...

Some "smart people" stole other people's iron pots and cans to exchange for food.

For a time, iron thefts occurred frequently in the two kings' fiefdoms, and the people were fighting and quarreling everywhere.

These minor disputes among the common people were not a big deal, and the King of Nanming and the King of Donghu didn't care at all.

Seeing that there were more and more iron pots and cans, the second king asked the blacksmiths to quickly make a batch of weapons and started recruiting soldiers.

Those who are willing to join the army will be provided with enough food and can take home 50 kilograms of food...

Fifty kilograms of food is not a lot, but if the family has run out of food, the temptation becomes infinite.

There were also many people who could not survive at home, so they gritted their teeth and exchanged themselves for 50 kilograms of food.

The King of Nanming and the King of Donghu took advantage of the opportunity when a large number of people came to surrender, raised the banner of "correcting the original source", and began to use scholars and people to create public opinion.

The King of Nanming and the King of Donghu joined forces to rebel, and the King of Nanming directly proclaimed himself emperor in his fiefdom.

When the news reached the capital, Fu Zhonghai and Fu Chenan, father and son, looked at each other, raised their eyebrows slightly, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

The day did come.

When they asked for the throne, Emperor Tianwu and Fu Chenan knew that this day would most likely come.

Even brothers would kill each other for the sake of the world, let alone snatching the throne from a "traitor" like him? If none of them jumped out, people would be on guard day and night.

Now that there has really been a rebellion, it is easier to deal with.

Just like a burst abscess, all you need to do next is to prescribe the right medicine to cure the abscess.

To stir up public sentiment?
To provoke scholars?

Fu Zhonghai glanced at his son and asked, "How is the construction of your academy going?"

Fu Chenan called his personal guards over to ask.

The guard replied shortly afterwards: The building part of the academy has been repaired and just painted, and there are still some subsequent configurations such as desks and chairs that need to be purchased.

Fu Chenan then told his father: "It's time to recruit students."

"Then prepare to enroll students..."

When Fu Chenan returned to the Space-Time Supermarket, it was already dark. Xiao Yingchun woke up and was writing and drawing in the living room, occasionally chatting with her cell phone holder.

Seeing Fu Chenan coming back, Xiao Yingchun smiled at him: "How is it? Is everything going well?"

Fu Chenan explained the situation to Xiao Yingchun. Xiao Yingchun stopped what she was doing in surprise and stared at Fu Chenan: "What are you going to do next?"

Fu Chenan smiled and reached out to rub her head: "Don't worry, my father and I have anticipated this and have a plan to deal with it."

It’s just that Yingchun Academy has started recruiting students, and he still wants to hear Xiao Yingchun’s opinion on the details.

Xiao Yingchun thought about it seriously: "You were all killing pigs before, and it's not long since you regained control of the Fu family army and the world. In the eyes of the aristocratic families, many people look down on you..."

Anyone else would not dare to say this in front of Fu Chenan and his son, except Xiao Yingchun, who is not from their generation and dares to say it directly.

Fu Chenan was very pleased to hear this: "You are right. Continue."

"I don't think there will be many great scholars willing to teach at the academy, especially those who are of high character and have a high opinion of themselves..."

The idea of ​​the royal family's orthodoxy was ingrained in the bones of many ancient people. If they had not been unable to survive, the people would not have been so supportive of the Fu family father and son ruling the country.

"Even if you invite them now, they won't come. Instead, they will loudly publicize that they have rejected your invitation in order to raise their own reputation..."

But such a great scholar of the time cannot use force, otherwise he will be cursed by students all over the world.

"So from the beginning, your goal should not be to focus on the great scholars of the time, but on the common students and the down-and-out scholars."

"Also, as we said before, let the top talents in various fields go to the academy and teach students who are willing to study there how to make a living..."

Especially various crafts.

Nowadays, many craftsmen are very proud of what they have and would rather pass their skills down to their sons than their daughters, because they are afraid that their skills will be passed on to outsiders.

If craftsmen from all walks of life could be encouraged to come to the academy to teach their skills, the handicraft industry and commerce of the entire Tianwu Kingdom would surely flourish.

Fu Chenan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pointed to the tablet computer not far away and said, "There's also this thing..."

Many of those craftsmen think that their skills are a secret that is not to be passed on. But what if they could see a tablet computer that could turn various skills into videos and show them to all students?
By then, their self-righteousness will inevitably be deeply impacted, and their ideas will slowly change...

Xiao Yingchun smiled and nodded: "Yes."

But after thinking about it, Xiao Yingchun reminded: "Of course, we still have to invite those great scholars of the time. You have made your attitude clear. If they are willing to come, that's good. If they are unwilling to come, you have to wait for them to come to you on their own initiative if you want to come in the future."

The truth can be found everywhere on the Internet in the 21st century.

However, those who can comprehend the truth are always only a small group of people.

If the purpose is just to explain the truth to students, why must we have great scholars from the Tianwu Dynasty?
Online courses from various 21st century professors, doctoral supervisors, and celebrities are available everywhere.

At a very small cost, students can listen to what they want.

As for whether one can finally comprehend it, that is a matter of luck, and others generally cannot help...
