Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 11 Xie Yan, ah Xie Yan, you are depraved

The sun is high in the sky, and the person on the bed is still sleeping soundly.

The man is seventeen, and the woman is twenty-four, both of them are in their prime, and it is really a case of heaven and earth.

Last night, they fought two rounds, and planned to go to bed after taking a bath. But the princess deliberately teased him, and Xie Yan couldn't help it for a while, and he actually had a third round.

Young people have good bodies.

It was almost noon when Zhu Tangxi woke up slowly. Except for some pain there, she felt refreshed. Years of depression were swept away.

She turned sideways to watch her lover sleeping, and she laughed while watching. I don't know why she laughed, but she was very happy anyway, and she stretched out her fingers to fiddle with her lover's earlobe.

The earlobe was fleshy, and it was so cute to be fiddled with.

Suddenly, Zhu Tangxi moved her head over and bit the earlobe gently with her teeth.

She had no other thoughts, but she suddenly felt like biting him, as if she had found her carefree girlhood again.

She bit him, but his lover didn't wake up.

Zhu Tangxi was like a child playing a prank, staring at her lover for a while, and suddenly bit his earlobe with more force.

Oops, there was a tooth mark.

Xie Yan was awakened by the pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the princess' beautiful face close at hand.

"Are you hungry?" Zhu Tangxi asked.

I'm from Meituan.

Xie Yan hugged her in his arms: "A little."

Zhu Tangxi suddenly became serious again: "Don't do this again in the future, you must take care of yourself."

"Sister, I've read an ancient book before, and there are many fun games in it." Xie Yan whispered in her ear, telling her about various unique skills.

Zhu Tangxi's ears were itchy from the hot air, and the more she listened, the more ashamed she felt. She quickly interrupted him and said, "What kind of bad book are you reading? How can it be... so dirty!"

Xie Yan said, "I bought it at a used book stall, and I burned it immediately after reading it, for fear that my parents would find out. Good sister, how about we try it next time?"

Zhu Tangxi's ears were not only itchy, but her heart was also itchy when she thought of those moves. She covered her lover's mouth with shame and annoyance: "Don't say it again."

"Oh, I listen to you, sister." Xie Yan pretended to be depressed.

He has gradually figured out the princess' temper, and he is getting more and more comfortable playing this love game.

Sure enough, Zhu Tangxi heard his tone of loss, and felt a little bit reluctant: "Do you like that?"

Xie Yan was still pretending to be a little puppy: "Those are all bad things, sister doesn't like them, and I don't like them either. I just... just a little curious."

Zhu Tangxi was actually very curious, and wanted to make the little puppy happy, so he stammered: "Then...then let's...try it next time?"

"Sister is so nice." The little puppy looked proud.

After a while of being together, Zhu Tangxi said, "Liu Lang, we are already like this, shouldn't we consider getting married?"

Xie Yan asked, "What is the procedure for the princess' wedding?"

Zhu Tangxi said, "First, we need to inform the Zongzheng Temple, and the Zongzheng Temple will verify the man's identity to see if his ancestors or the man himself have committed crimes. If the verification is correct, officials will be sent to act as matchmakers and verify the birth dates of both parties. The rest is similar to a civil marriage."

"Then I'll send a telegram to my parents." Xie Yan said.

Zhu Tangxi was a little nervous: "They won't object, right?"

Xie Yan asked with a smile, "What do they have to object to?"

"Liu Lang is so young and outstanding, but I've been married before..." Zhu Tangxi's words revealed a sense of inferiority.

"Silly sister." Xie Yan turned over and pressed her down, using actions to express his feelings.

Zhu Tangxi begged for mercy in fear: "I really can't do it, it still hurts now, get up and eat."

The two of them rubbed their ears together for a while, then put on their clothes and went to wash.

The maids quickly brought towels, hot water, toothbrushes, and tooth powder. They not only helped the princess to wash and dress, but also served Xie Yan as the male owner.

Xie Yan had become increasingly decadent. He no longer refused like before, but rather enjoyed the life of being served.

He opened his mouth when food came and stretched out his hand when clothes came.

Xie Yan, Xie Yan, you can't do this anymore... Oh, so cool!

The maids who served him were also very happy, and even shyly, occasionally deliberately touching his body.

Their intentions were obvious, and the abacus beads were about to break Xie Yan's face.

Xie Yan began to worry about his health, and at the same time understood that the emperor was a high-risk job.

Zhu Tangxi's makeup today was different. Although she was still extremely beautiful, she was less dignified and majestic. She was completely dressed at home, which made her look more gentle and charming.

During the meal, Zhu Tangxi asked, "When will we go to select a site for the factory?"

Xie Yan said, "I'll go shopping in the next two days."

Zhu Tangxi said, "When we find a good site, we'll go and talk together."

"Okay." Xie Yan smiled.

When preparing cement, the grinding step is very critical, but the current cement factories all grind manually.

In another time and space, the ball mill was invented in the late Qing Dynasty, and the roller press appeared after the reform and opening up.

Xie Yan didn't plan to mess around for the time being, and used traditional manual grinding to fool around.

In the future, when he has time and money, he will bring in a mechanical expert to jointly research and invent a grinding machine. It can be used to prepare cement, and can also be used in various mines and firing ceramics.

In the afternoon, Xie Yan said goodbye and left, and Zhu Tangxi was reluctant to leave.

She personally sent Xie Yan to the street, and arranged a carriage to take Xie Yan to the telegraph office, and she drove straight to the palace.

After a while of waiting, she was soon received by the Queen Mother.

Queen Mother Ye looked at the princess carefully and smiled meaningfully: "You are so radiant today. What happy event have you encountered?"

Zhu Tangxi bowed her head shyly: "Please grant me a marriage from the Queen Mother."

The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!

Queen Mother Ye looked like she was suddenly enlightened: "That's it. Do his parents know?"

Zhu Tangxi said: "I have already sent a telegram at this time."

Queen Mother Ye said: "Since his father is an official, his family background is clean and there is no need to review it. Over at Zongzheng Temple, I will say hello and choose an auspicious day to get it done for you as soon as possible. Don't get married with a big belly."

"Don't make fun of me!" Zhu Tangxi said angrily.

"Okay, okay, no more joking," Queen Mother Ye smiled even brighter, "That little husband of yours is really capable of doing things. In the past two months, with the help of his scale, a lot of achievements have been made in the academic world. June's study There are no more papers to be scheduled for this issue, so a special issue has been published.”

Zhu Tangxi and Yourong Yan said proudly: "I have read the June chemistry journal. One-third of the regular issues cited his molecular papers, and more than 90% of the special issues cited his molecular papers."

Queen Mother Ye said: "The old president specially sent someone to ask for a meeting for this purpose, saying that the bachelor's degree awarding system should be changed. The bachelor's degree will be divided into arts and sciences in the future. The bachelor of arts is subdivided into literature, history and art, and the bachelor of science is subdivided into academics and technology. If If you don’t change it like this, your little husband won’t know how to get promoted.”

Among the Bachelor of Arts, the literature and history category includes Confucian classics, history, epigraphy, archeology, etc., and the art category includes calligraphy, painting, sculpture, music, diction, etc.

The study of social thought and economics actually belongs to the category of Confucian classics!

In Chinese history, Confucianism has experienced several major changes, each of which was a self-innovation of Confucianism brought about by drastic social changes.

The classics of Confucian sages must conform to the new political and economic structure, otherwise the Confucian scholars will not be able to justify themselves.

With the development of industry and commerce in Ming Dynasty society, the citizen class rose rapidly, the small peasant economy was impacted, and capitalists and gentry both integrated and opposed each other. The world map is gradually explored, and new scientific results are constantly appearing...

All these are triggering a variety of new trends of thought, and some people are even clamoring to re-annotate the Four Books and Six Classics.

A group of scholars speak for the capitalists.

A group of scholars helped small businessmen and small workshop owners speak for themselves.

A group of scholars helped speak for the traditional gentry and farmers.

A group of scholars speak for the general public.

For example, Luo Xue from Ercheng is reviving, and "preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires" is once again brought out, and it is also integrated with the current scientific development.

Eating, dressing, getting married and having children are the laws of nature, while having fine clothes, fine food, having wives and concubines are human desires. This is just the basic explanation of "preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires".

A more profound explanation is that heavenly principles are the objective laws of all societies and things. Human desires should be controlled by reason and should not allow external things to override self-will. The meaning of life should not be limited to enjoyment, but should be expanded to a wider time and space.

What are they talking about?

It is aimed at the rich and powerful who are arrogant and extravagant, spend money like water, have countless wives and concubines, and have hordes of slaves.

Targeting the bottomless exploitation of farmers and workers, targeting factories that pollute the sky and rivers, and targeting the growing gap between rich and poor.

There are many scholars who believe in this school of thought. Through the order of "cultivating one's moral character, regulating one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world", they advocate first cleaning one's body and caring for oneself. Don’t be corrupt, don’t keep concubines, don’t wear fancy clothes, don’t live in mansions, don’t bully the weak, and ask your family to do the same.

Many of the reformists in the current dynasty believed in this, and they did a good job in cultivating themselves, managing their families, and running the country.

But after taking power, there seemed to be some subtle changes!

They continue to insist on not being corrupt, but through reforming industry and commerce, they allow relatives to seek more benefits "reasonably and legally".

"Your cement factory must strictly abide by the law," Queen Mother Ye reminded. "The recent industrial and commercial reform requires the collection of chimney tax and factory and land tax, but the factory owners are not cooperating, and they bribe the inspection officials to try to get through. Only In the areas under the jurisdiction of the two capitals, six factories and mines have been severely fined, and more than twenty officials have been impeached by the inspector. There is also an inspector who was impeached for taking money from the factory owner. "

Zhu Tangxi asked: "Has the reform encountered resistance?"

Queen Mother Ye said: "Inventorying the chimneys and land areas of factories and mines does not mean clearing out all the land in the world. The court is not afraid of causing trouble. Inventorying land may cause chaos and farmers to rebel, but among those factory owners, who dares to rebel? If one goes out of business, If you rectify it, you can scare them into begging for mercy.”

Zhu Tangxi said: "Xie Liulang is a gentleman. He even spent his own money to buy dust-proof masks for the Li family's cement workers. If Xie Liulang runs a cement factory, he will definitely abide by the law and will not let others get caught."

Queen Mother Ye teased: "A gentleman can't wait for his wedding?"

Zhu Tangxi's cheeks turned red, and she protected the little puppy and said, "I will give it to myself."

Queen Mother Ye was overjoyed: "I know you are brave, but there is no need to show off such a thing."

Zhu Tangxi still wanted to show off: "The new cement produced by Liu Lang was named Qin Guo Cement by him. It is not the name of the company or the name of the product, but the name of this kind of cement. From now on, no matter which factory or which The company produces and sells Qin Guo cement. Everyone in the world will know that it was a gift from Liu Lang! "

Queen Mother Ye was silent for a while, and then sighed: "What woman can withstand such coaxing tactics? No wonder you were so fascinated that you were dizzy."
