Xie Jing'an was originally a big hearted person. Putting aside some things that bothered him, he soon became normal again. While eating dinner, he chatted with Lin Yan, as if what he just said was really inadvertent. I have no other thoughts.

But it's hard for Lin Yan, he is deep in thought, not good at talking, he keeps everything in his heart, he is better when he is with others, he doesn't care much, but Xie Jingan's words and deeds are involuntarily remembered by him In his heart, he likes to ponder over every word he said on weekdays. Just now those words were heard by him, and he pondered them over and over again. Refers to marriage?

Lin Yan knew that as a man, making meritorious deeds, marrying a wife and having children were indispensable. In the past, when his parents were still alive, it wasn't that they didn't mention his marriage. Although he didn't care about it at the time, he didn't object much. But when he listened to it now, he was very resistant. , Lin Yan thought this was very strange and at a loss. As a man, shouldn't he marry a wife and have children?Why is he... very unwilling, and even angry when King Shun mentioned it to him.

Because of this incident, Lin Yan ate every dinner extremely tasteless. If he returned home early on weekdays, he would always visit his sister and chat for a while, but now he didn't want to see anyone. Just fell on the bed.

He was very tired these days, and he only slept for an hour or two every day. In the past, he almost fell asleep when he touched the pillow, but today he tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep in a daze.

Xu is thinking day by day and dreaming at night. Lin Yan actually dreamed that he was going to the wedding hall that night. He couldn't see the eyebrows and eyes of the people around him clearly, but the bride in red wedding dress in front of him was particularly bright. He should be extremely happy, but for some reason, he is very bored in his heart, wishing he could get out of this scene earlier, but in the dream, he is like a puppet being pulled, holding the red silk involuntarily, Leading the bride to the new house step by step.

Someone handed Yu Ruyi the hijab that was lifted, and Lin Yan took it uncontrollably. He watched the red hijab being picked up little by little. He thought it would be a strange face, but he didn't want to be followed by the hijab. Provoked, he saw a very familiar face.

It was the face of King Shun that he had to see every day.

……

With a thorough understanding of the affairs of the Liu family, Xie Jingan devoted himself wholeheartedly to his plan to develop the fiefdom. He got up at [-]:[-] every day and rested at [-]:[-] pm. After the glass was made, the progress was extremely smooth, and a whole piece of glass that could be used as a window could already be made. For the time being, more complicated cups or utensils could not be made, but simple and crude glass cups were no longer difficult, and the telescope was also available to him. With the persistent research of the craftsmen, a breakthrough has been made, and it is only a matter of time before the finished product is obtained.

The newspaper office has already prepared almost the same. Although due to the paper-making and printing problems of this era, it is impossible to print too many and the cost is quite high, but he can guarantee one copy for each prefecture and county in his fiefdom. It is just that Xie Jingan has dealt with the Qi Chengshou incident since then. Afterwards, he already distrusted the local officials very much. He did not plan to distribute the newspaper to the local government and then pass it on. Instead, he planned to go to various states and counties to find some scholars with good character and integrity to spend money. Hire them to read newspapers in various states and counties, and pass on their decrees and some major events in the fief to the greatest extent without adding them.

As for the children trained by Xie Jingan as a secret guard, and the training of soldiers and horses to expand the recruitment has also been on the right track. Except for the occasional obstacles from various families, the overall situation is still thriving, especially the local officials in Mozhou. After Xie Jingan summoned the group to make an example of others, he became much more obedient, at least he wouldn't make any trouble for him.

On this day, Xie Jing'an got up early in the morning to inspect the various workshops, and then plunged into the equipment department.

The Equipment Department used to be empty and the talents withered, but now it can be said to be overcrowded. If the official roads are not smooth, the Equipment Department may not be able to let go of so many craftsmen.

As Xie Jing'an stepped into the door, he wondered whether he should expand the equipment department, or simply move it out of the city, just like the technology development zone in later generations.

The equipment department was busy making various parts of the waterwheel, and luckily went to the river outside the city to assemble them.

At this moment, Chief Xu was rolling up his sleeves and working in full swing. When he heard his subordinates report that Prince Shun was coming, he was taken aback for a moment before hurriedly tidied up his appearance and went to greet him.

Xie Jing'an would come to the Equipment Department almost every few days to inspect it, and he was as familiar with Xu He, the head of the Equipment Department, as he was with other confidants, and seeing that he was so old, he was too lazy to let him salute, and would wave his hand whenever he saw someone Said: "Don't be too polite, tell this king quickly, how is the preparation of the waterwheel and Quyuanli going?"

Although Xu He lost a few jins due to busy work, his spirit was particularly excited, his eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement: "Reporting to Your Highness, the craftsmen have been busy day and night these days, and finally they are no longer entrusted by Your Highness. The problem that the waterwheel did not understand before has already been understood, and Quyuanli is even more used to it, and after the beginning of spring, it will not affect the spring plowing at all."

"That's good." Xie Jingan nodded in satisfaction. The waterwheel is no problem, the Quyuanli will be in place as scheduled, the cattle are ready, and the potatoes have been harvested a few days ago, and they will be planted in large quantities according to Liu Zhubo's planting method. I bought a batch, and now everything is ready, just waiting for winter to spring, so I have to work hard.

Although Xie Jingan had gone through a lot of big scenes, when he thought of the scene after the beginning of spring, he was still unavoidably excited. For the first time, he felt that the days of winter were so difficult. Good news for plants sprouting.

Everything went well in the equipment department, so Xie Jingan didn't stay any longer, and returned to the palace after only a round trip.

Under the management of Manager Qin, the palace was busy but not chaotic, everything was in order, but today was a little strange, Xie Jingan went to change into his usual clothes and sat down in the study, and Manager Qin came to see him.

Although Xie Jingan would meet with him every day, except for important matters, he rarely talked with him. It had been several days since the last time the two of them talked. Xie Jingan originally thought it was some news about Chang'an, but he didn't want Mr. Qin said: "The New Year will be in a few days. This is the first time Your Highness will celebrate the New Year in the fief. What are your plans?"

"It's the Chinese New Year..." Xie Jingan hesitated for a moment before he smiled and said, "The days go by so quickly, and the Chinese New Year is coming before you know it. This year is different from previous years. Since it's the first time to celebrate the New Year outside alone, you have to prepare for it." It will be more lively, when the time comes, Liu Zhu, General Bo Lin, and the others will be invited together, and if there are few people, we have to get together, otherwise it will be deserted."

Xu is that the Chinese New Year is almost here, and Director Qin is also in a very good mood. He looked at Xie Jingan gently, and rarely showed a slight smile, and said: "What Your Highness said is that all His Highness's officials should be invited, so this ceremony aspect."

Xie Jing'an didn't know how the rituals were prepared in the past, he was afraid that if he said too much, he would cause suspicion, so he said directly: "In previous years, you were responsible for all these matters, so let's do it as in previous years, but this year they followed the prince's feudal domain to assist me The king has worked hard, in addition to these, add another [-]%, and send some perfumes and soaps made in the workshop, and if there are children in the family, send some puppets, what does Manager Qin think?"

"This..." Director Qin wondered, "If it's in Chang'an, it's nothing, but we are in Mozhou now, the official roads are blocked, and the waterways are frozen. Even if your highness is not short of money, there is no place to buy it, your highness." , from a small point of view, how about exchanging the old things for silver taels, and adding some soaps and perfumes that His Highness just mentioned?"

When Director Qin said this, Xie Jingan realized, yes, although Mozhou is slowly becoming lively under his management, it is far behind Chang'an, Yangzhou and other places. Even wealthy families have to send people Go to a more prosperous state city to buy, in this cold winter, even if his treasury is full of silver, he still can't buy it.

Furthermore, the subordinate officials who followed him to the fief were not from prominent backgrounds. They suddenly followed him to the fief, and they didn't have much to do. In life, Xie Jingan only rewarded him occasionally, but the salary he gave was not too much. Although he would not suffer from hunger, it was not much better.

Xie Jing'an has been so busy these days that he has forgotten to care about his subordinates. Now that Director Qin brought it up like this, he can't help feeling a little ashamed. He orders people around for twelve hours a day, but he only gives such a salary. Zhou Papi was worthwhile.

Xie Jing'an deeply introspected, nodded and said: "Boss Qin said yes, but this king was negligent, so I will do as you said, and convert the things that cannot be bought in previous years' festivals into cash and send them over. Then pick some high-quality cloth, medicinal herbs, game, soap and perfume from the treasury, and send them over."

Xie Jingan thought of something while talking, hesitantly said: "In the treasury...is there any head for the female family members?"

Director Qin was listening carefully, when he heard this sentence in his ears, he was stunned before he reacted abruptly, his eyes flashed brightly, and with an expression on his face that you had finally enlightened, he said happily: "Return to Your Highness, There are many heads in the treasury, all of which were given by the empress, and many of them were bought for His Highness after the empress entered the palace. It’s also extremely rare.”

Director Qin talked a lot, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Jingan expectantly. Xie Jingan was a little puzzled by him, and he realized after thinking about it. He probably thought that he wanted to give the hair to the girl he liked. The look, but Xie Jingan always felt strange, the original owner was nineteen years old this year, according to this era, sixteen percent should have married long ago, even if he didn't marry a concubine, he shouldn't even have a close servant.

When he first came here, he was really nervous for a while, and he thought about how to deal with the female relatives in his heart. Later, he realized that this body not only did not marry a concubine, but also had never been close to a woman, so he slowly relaxed. Although he felt a little strange, but also He breathed a sigh of relief, after all, as a crook, he really didn't have the heart and ability to treat them like the original body.

More importantly, without a female relative, he can find a boyfriend without hesitation.
