Some farm boys, at Xiao Zhu's age, are already considered part of the workforce, busy tending to the fields. Or, if they're even busier, they might be herding cattle for wealthy families, which is also a common occurrence.
Little Zhu only needed to study; he didn't need to worry about fame or fortune, nor did he need to worry about going hungry or cold. This pampered little fellow often played and patrolled around Yingtian Prefecture. He never had to worry about being bullied; he was the one who bullied others.
Looking at Old Zhu, Zhu Yunying said, "Grandpa Emperor, where is our big ball? Bring it out today, we need to teach Yin'er."
Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Yunying and said irritably, "The sky is round and the earth is square, who doesn't know that? You just like to cause trouble and do all sorts of messy things all day long. If we didn't protect you, outsiders would definitely say you're heretical."
Zhu Yunying objected, saying, "If the sky is round and the earth is square, then theoretically, you shouldn't be able to see anything at a glance. But Grandfather, think about it carefully, if you're looking into the distance, wouldn't you...?"
"That's your business. You say what you want, and we'll think what we want." Old Zhu had long given up arguing with Zhu Yunying about certain things. He wasn't interested in geographical knowledge, as long as it wasn't a map for marching and fighting. "Shuangquan, go and bring out that big ball. Wang Chengen, go and take out all those maps and hang them up."
Even when teaching young Zhu Yunying, such as history, it was necessary to constantly explain and combine the lessons with practical examples.
Zhu Yunying looked at little Zhu and said seriously, "Today, let me tell you about this 'since ancient times'!"
The Records of the Grand Historian contains a passage about Emperor Wu of Han, stating that he "had never before relied on spirits and deities." The Book of Han also states that "never before in history had anyone used chaos to quell chaos, and never before had a dynasty so utterly defeated as Qin."
What Zhu Yunying meant by 'since ancient times' was naturally the inherent territory!
