I Transmigrated to the Great Ming, So What If I Teach?

Leaving aside the Song and Qing dynasties, let's just talk about the Ming dynasty. From Zhu Yuanzhang's peasant mentality, the policy of "raising the emperor to rule the world," to the restoration of funerary sacrifices, all his policies were designed to make the common people suffer.

This book got published in the Sanjiang Literature City? Are all the readers novice?

I've read over ten chapters, and almost every chapter consists of dialogues between the same few characters: the protagonist, Zhang, Biao, and Ji. The protagonist lectures a group of children on philosophy, which Zhang finds incredibly insightful, praising the author highly. Occasionally, a few supporting characters are added to propel the plot forward. Do people these days write and read books without using their brains?

After the initial testing, I couldn't even finish the second chapter. The theories were practically philosophical, convoluted and roundabout, yet a bunch of kids seemed to grasp them perfectly... They're all child prodigies! It's too much!

Self-indulgent writing forum: Teaching philosophy to children 😰

The author is metaphysical, teaching others science, and assigning homework such as having children find two iron balls of different masses, let them fall freely, and observe the phenomena. I suspect it's plagiarized from Wikipedia.

Is it now popular to use novels for political commentary? I'm here to read novels, not to study Marxist philosophy.

Teaching kids... Is less effective than bragging to their peers. Kids don't even have a worldview; trying to explain such grand concepts is like trying to fly to someone who can't even walk properly.

Ancient people could understand it, and Zhu Yuanzhang understood it the first time he heard it. Why am I, a modern person, unable to understand it? It sounds like some kind of cryptic text. And are you sure there's no mistake about teaching these things in ancient times? Did that wealthy merchant know Zhu Biao was Zhu Yuanzhang's son?

This part is a bit forced. In the Ming Dynasty, until the 30th year of the Hongwu reign (the year before Zhu Yuanzhang's death), historical records show that the candidates were never entirely from the south; the ratio was generally around 3:1. The North-South examination scandal of the 30th year of the Hongwu reign was no coincidence; it was a provocation by southern officials against Zhu Yuanzhang.
