Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

On June [-], the first year of Zhaoqing, at dusk, a cry of a baby resounded through Shoukang Palace.

At the right time, the sky is full of red clouds and auspicious clouds appear, just like the crowing of a phoenix.

"It's a little princess!" Wen Po wrapped the baby girl in swaddling clothes and handed it to the palace servants to carry her out of the inner hall.

Lou Yu waited anxiously outside the hall, he held Huo Yan's wrist tightly, trying to draw some strength from him.

Lou Quan was also sweating anxiously beside him.

Only Lou Ji, who was always with the inner hall when Jiang Lan launched it, didn't care about the "filth" at all.

Fortunately, Jiang Lan's pregnancy was stable, and she had three childbirth experiences, and she actively exercised her body on weekdays, so the childbirth was smooth.

The little princess was carried in front of Lou Yu, and Lou Yu's heart was instantly filled with emotion.

He didn't dare to hug him at all, he just looked at the wrinkled baby in the swaddle with a smirk, and asked with a sob: "Is the queen mother all right?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the queen mother is well, but there is another one behind."

Lou Yu nodded, his mother has twins, so he has to wait.

"Good life to take care of the little princess."

Not long after, another cry finally sounded, but the sound was a little weaker than the previous one.

"Congratulations to the Supreme Emperor, you are a little prince!"

The baby boy was carried out, Lou Yu took a few glances, and rushed to the inner hall in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, you cannot..."

"What can't be done!" Lou Yu scolded, stepped into the inner hall in a hurry, and walked to Jiang Lan's couch.

Although the delivery went smoothly, Jiang Lan was a bit older after all, and fell asleep after giving birth.

Lou Yu pinched his palm with his fingernails, holding back his tears.

All is well.

The empress dowager gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and everyone in the government and the public were delighted.

The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, a good thing!

What's more, when a child is born, auspicious clouds appear in the sky, which must be an auspicious sign!

At the court meeting the next day, Lou Yu directly decreed that the little princess should be named Princess Rongle, and the little prince should be named Prince Rui.

The courtiers congratulated one after another, thinking in their hearts what kind of congratulatory gifts they should prepare for the full moon banquet.

The emperor was beaming with joy, and the court was naturally peaceful. No one would suffer from bad luck at such a time.

After the court meeting, Fan Yusheng called Yang Guanghuai to stop.

"Yang Xiang, I always feel that something is wrong. I wonder if you have such a feeling?"

Yang Guanghuai asked leisurely: "What's wrong?"

"I don't believe it myself. If I offend you, please forgive me. I just want to know whether Master Qinghe's comments are true or not?"

He stared closely at Yang Guanghuai's eyes.

Yang Guanghuai's expression was blank: "Sorry, I only know superficially about Daoism. Master Qinghe Temple has practiced Daoism for dozens of years, so he has his own reasons for making such comments. If it is false, how dare he deceive His Majesty?"

An idea flashed in Fan Yusheng's mind: "What if he was driven by...?"

He didn't say who was driving him, but Yang Guanghuai understood.

He knew that such comments could not hide Fan Yusheng at all.

Fan Yusheng didn't mention it before because he didn't think about it, but now seeing His Majesty's love for Princess Rong Le and Prince Rui, he found something strange.

"Fan Xiang, please be careful."

Fan Yusheng met his deep and vast eyes, and suddenly became excited.

He hastily clasped his hands and said, "I'm the one doing the trick."

Yang Guanghuai smiled and said: "Your Majesty cares about the common people in the world. It is not only the blessing of the people, but also the fortune of the imperial court. For the rest, just relax."

Fan Yusheng sighed softly in his heart: "Your Majesty is fair, I really shouldn't be entangled in those mundane trivial matters."

"Fan Xiang wants to have a bowel movement."

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Lou Yu took Huo Yan to look through the classics together, wanting to find an excellent name for his younger sister and younger brother, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable one.

He fell back, with the books spread out on his face, and said depressedly, "What should I call it?"

Huo Yan took away his book and said with a smile: "If you care about it, you will be chaotic."

"Well, I just want the best for them."

Lou Yu is purely an old father mentality.

Huo Yan laughed and said: "The Supreme Emperor also wants to be named."

"He already took three!" Lou Yu said dissatisfied.

Huo Yan: "..."

He could tell that the person in front of him really regarded the two little guys as daughters and sons.

"No matter what, A Yu has to discuss the name right with the Supreme Emperor."

Lou Yu knew this truth well.

He hurried to Shoukang Palace, and after visiting his mother, he planned to talk to his father about who would name the two little guys.

Lou Ji: "Name? I got up early."

Lou Yu: "..."

"The big one is called Lou Chi, and the small one is called Lou Gu, how about it?"

What else could Lou Yu say, he could only join in the show.

With the last expectation, he asked, "Do you have a baby name?"

"That's not true, but your mother gave you three baby names. Your mother hasn't recuperated yet."

Lou Yu: "..."

He really couldn't take the right to name the child his mother worked so hard to give birth to.

Ugh.

"I'm going to see Ah Chu and Ah Gu."

He didn't take a few steps, then paused again, "Father, why did you give Ah Li such an awkward name?"

Lou Ji waved his hand and said, "She's a girl, and she's also a princess. She doesn't have many chances to be called by her name, so what's the difference?"

Generally, women's boudoir names are seldom revealed in front of people, and Lou Chi has a title, so it's fine to call her title directly in normal times.

Thinking that "Rong Le" was created by himself, Lou Yu couldn't help being happy.

After watching the two little guys, Lou Yu returned to the Hall of Qinzheng.

Yesterday's meeting was interrupted in the middle of it, and today we have to continue.

The factories and university dormitories in the suburbs of Beijing have all been completed, just waiting to recruit workers and send children to school.

Most of the factories and teaching buildings are borrowed from Gyeongju New City, which refreshes the eyes of ordinary people in the capital.

In the past, they only read the description of Gyeongju New Town in newspapers, but they didn’t know what Gyeongju New Town looked like. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, they felt that Gyeongju’s “workers” had a great place to work!

"Worker" is a new word in "Jingcheng Xunbao".

The "Jingcheng Xun Bao" published a recruitment notice, and the word "worker" was mentioned in it, as if a person who entered a factory to work was suddenly endowed with a new and powerful identity.

"I went to look around the factory. The house is not very beautiful, but there are a lot of glass windows, row after row. How much does it cost?"

"Anyway, the imperial court paid for it, so what are you worrying about here?"

"I heard that the textile factory has to recruit a lot of female workers. My daughter is sixteen, so I don't know if I can get in."

"Are you really planning to let your daughter go to work outside the city? There are so many men over there, don't you worry?"

"The textile factory is full of women, why worry about that?"

"The textile factory is not close to home. Does your daughter go back and forth every day? Not only is it a hassle, but it's also dangerous."

"Then I'll think about it."

The factory on the outskirts of Beijing is about ten miles away from the capital city. It takes at least half an hour for a fast-moving middle-aged man to go there. If it is a woman, it may take longer.

After leaving the textile factory and walking all the way back to the capital, it is estimated that the gates of the city are locked.

This problem deters the people in the city who want to go to work.

There are also a few scattered towns and villages near the factory. There is no curfew in the towns and villages, and female workers can come and go freely. But how many female workers can these villages provide for the factory?

Fortunately, when the factory was located, Lou Yu thought about this problem and thought of a countermeasure.

One day, the weather was fine and cloudless.

People in the capital suddenly saw a strange ox cart.

The body of the car was rather long, and there were two cows pulling it in front. There were glass windows on the front, back, left, and right sides of the car.

The car was parked under the street sign, and a man who looked like a coachman was wearing a straw hat and holding a whip in his hand.

The people were curious and came forward to ask.

"Hey, that handlebar type, what kind of car do you have? What is it for?"

The handlebar replied: "This is a passenger car, which is specially used to transport people in and out of the city."

"That's strange, where can this car go?"

"Now I only run to the capital and the factory, but not necessarily in the future."

"Factory? You mean a factory that is hiring?"

"Yeah, buddy, do you want to sit and watch? Five cents a trip."

"Five cents?"

The common people were shocked, it would cost more than that to hire an ox cart!

"Our Yun'an car dealership is affordable, but it's different from ordinary car hire."

"What's the difference?"

The coachman replied with a smile: "The carriage can only move when it is full of passengers."

Ordinary people do the math, a car can accommodate ten people, each person costs five cents, and a trip costs only a few tens of cents. What a loss for this business!

Looking at the glass on the wall of this car, the cost must not be cheap, right?And this cow, it costs a lot of money to raise two cows, right?

Is this car dealership doing charity?

But to be honest, since the glass boom in the capital, except for the rich and powerful, ordinary people still cannot afford glass.

They didn't live in a glass house or ride in a car with glass windows. Looking at this car now, they felt itchy for a while, and they all said they wanted to experience it.

It's not a loss to take a bus for five cents!

After the carriage was full, the coachman drove out of the city gate and drove all the way to the factory area.

It's only two minutes away.

The driver smiled and said, "We've arrived at the factory, everyone got off the bus."

The passenger was stunned: "Aren't you going back?"

"Go back, we have to wait until the people are full." The coachman wiped his sweat with a cotton towel.

"Isn't it full of people?"

The coachman raised his eyelids: "You have to pay again when you go back to the city."

"What?! Aren't you stealing money!"

The coachman frowned: "I said it was five cents for one trip, but now that one trip is over, you have to pay for another trip?"

"I hired an ox cart myself, and I covered the round trip!"

The coachman hit the nail on the head: "How much do you pay for a car?"

Passengers: "..."

The car dealership was rich and powerful, they didn't dare to offend the driver, so they had to obediently pay and go back to the city.

Anyway, I won't sit next time!

At the beginning, common people were not interested in the public ox carts of Yun’an Automobile Co., but as time went by, as factory workers rode to and from work, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this car was so convenient!

The most important thing is affordable.

Factory workers go to and from work at fixed times, and the ox carts only make two trips a day.

In the rest of the time, I help ordinary people run around the factory to earn some odd money.

But the capital is so big and there are so many people, the needs of the common people cannot be limited to one direction.

They hoped that the bullock cart would take them elsewhere.

When there is demand, there is market.

Driven by the market, Yun'an Automobile Co., Ltd. has opened up other passenger routes.

After the new route was opened, the business of Yun'an Automobile Co., Ltd. became more and more prosperous.

They not only do business for ordinary people, but also do business for yamen.

As a small official of the Transportation Bureau, Xie Mao often has to go out of the city with his colleagues on business.The yamen does not provide carriages and horses. Although Xie Mao's family has a car, most of his colleagues do not. He can't go to work alone in a carriage, right?

Therefore, they have always relied on walking, and every time they went out to finish their errands, they lost half of their lives.

Hard work and low efficiency.

Since the appearance of public ox carts, they can ride in the car together when they go out of the city to run errands.

Of course, they are on official business, so they can't afford the fare themselves.

The policy was quickly issued, and the imperial court encouraged officials of the public office to go out of the city to take public ox carts, and the transportation expenses could be reimbursed by the public office.

And so on!

For a time, the government servants who went out to the city to do business were all keen to ride an ox cart.

Yun'an Car is following the road of small profits but quick turnover. Although there are not many business conflicts with other car dealers in the city, the rest of the car dealers are secretly ridiculing, thinking that Yun'an Car Dealer will close down sooner or later.

It's a pity that more and more people choose to take the public bullock cart.

However, it is convenient for ordinary people, but some problems have arisen from it.

Bullock carts can carry all kinds of guests, but women?

In other words, can a woman ride in a car with a man?

Yun'an car dealership allows men and women to ride together, but many people think that women sharing a car with men will tarnish their reputation.

Women can't pack a car alone, can they?

Female workers in textile factories can travel together, but when the number of workers is not divisible, there will always be female workers who are alone. Is it because of the conflict between men and women that they can't get jobs?No more money?

Under the pressure of life and the temptation of money, the difference between men and women seems to gradually become less important.

The phenomenon of men and women riding together is becoming more and more common, and the folk atmosphere has begun to change.

Finally, some rotten scholars couldn't stand it anymore, and wrote articles denouncing such indecent things, and believed that the business model of Yun'an Automobile Co., Ltd. was the culprit, and suggested that the government close Yun'an Automobile Co., Ltd.

These rotten Confucians also deliberately contributed articles to Qingmo Bookstore.

"Jingcheng Xunbao" is very face-saving and published it.

Reading newspapers has become the daily routine of Dasheng literati; listening to newspapers has also become a habit of Dasheng people.

Once an article criticizing "men and women ride together" is published, it becomes known all over the world.

People all over the world are arguing about it.

The court is naturally unavoidable.

Lou Yu was really impatient to hear that, so he asked directly: "Are you court officials or matchmakers? You keep an eye on those men and women every day! What does it have to do with you if the common people are willing to ride in a car? What is immoral? , Did they kiss in the car, or did they get naked in the car? What are they thinking every day!"

He was so angry that even foul language came out.

Huo Yan felt sorry for him, so he immediately came out and said sharply: "Standing in the Guangde Hall, you should care about the major issues related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, not interfere with the lives of ordinary people, don't put the cart before the horse!"

"Ding Guogong's words are reasonable." Yang Guanghuai immediately said, "The common people are working diligently to make money to earn a living, how come you say that they all become robbers and prostitutes?"

Fan Yusheng also reprimanded sharply: "The autumn harvest is approaching, how is the harvest this year? Can the people in Dasheng have enough to eat? When winter comes, will the people and soldiers in the north have enough charcoal fires to keep warm? These are the things you should think about !"

After several questions, the hall of Guangde was completely silent.

Lou Yu was silent for a few breaths before calling out the names of the officials who were spit flying all over the place just now.

"When you hear that men and women ride together, you think of immorality, and when you see men and women ride together, you think of the decline of the world. It shows how much you hate and hate things about men and women. But in Song Yushi's memorials, your names appear quite frequently. Er It really disgusts me to gossip in court when I am not standing upright."

After saying the last sentence, those people immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Let the emperor feel disgusted, how can he mess around in the future? !

Lou Yu said directly: "You guys don't think about government affairs so much, it seems that this temple won't be able to keep you."

"Your Majesty, I know my mistake, please forgive me!"

Several people kowtowed frantically on the ground.

Lou Yu said without doubt: "Demotion by one level, one year's salary fine, and one month's contemplation behind closed doors."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Since Lou Yu succeeded to the throne, he has basically never lost his temper. He usually digs a hole with a smile and waits for others to jump. This is the first time that he has spoken harshly during a court meeting.

The courtiers were all afraid.

His majesty is getting more and more majestic, it seems that they have to be more careful in their words in the future.

In any case, most officials in the DPRK and China still have the world in their hearts and want to make meritorious deeds.What is there to be dissatisfied with following a conscientious emperor like Lou Yu?

This His Majesty has no other shortcomings except that he attaches great importance to women.

Be content!

After the meeting, Lou Yu stepped into the Hall of Qinzheng with a straight face, and Huo Yan followed suit, thinking how to appease him, when Lou Yu suddenly turned around and asked with a smile: "Did I scare you just now?"

How could there be any anger?

Huo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid that your anger will ruin your body."

"I'm not going to get mad at other people's ignorance, I'm trying to scare them."

Lou Yu's mentality was very stable.

Some people just don't have a long memory, and they always have to beat and beat.

Seeing that he was in high spirits, Huo Yan was completely relieved.

"Well, let's not get angry with them."

Thanks to the efforts of the imperial court and the common people, this year's autumn harvest made the common people smile.

In particular, the state capital, which was severely damaged by the war before, has achieved a bumper harvest this year with the support of the central government's policies.

When Lou Yu ascended the throne, he said that the disaster-stricken state capitals would be exempted from taxes for three years.

In this case, the common people have surplus food in their hands and can finally live a life of peace of mind.

After being governed, the three southern states gradually burst into vitality.

Zhanzhou was originally a place for business and travel. Not only the seaport was expanded, but also the dry dock was built. As a result, merchant ships traveled more frequently, and it became the second largest trading port in Dasheng, and the shipping industry flourished.

Tropical fruits are made into dried fruits by local people and shipped to the north by cargo ships for sale, benefiting the people in the south a lot.

Rong Shi took the young and strong members of the clan and ran to the port to help people carry goods, and made some money.

He returned to the clan happily, and met a clansman with a sickle in his hand.

The tribe asked him with a smile: "Young patriarch, have you made money again?"

Rong Shi nodded and said: "I heard that the harvest in the clan is good this year, and everyone has something to eat in winter."

"Yes, thanks to the imperial court, otherwise we would still be hunting in the mountains now."

Farming is much safer than hunting.

Thinking of this, the tribe couldn't help asking: "Young patriarch, since we all have land to plant, why do you still have to go to Zhanzhou to work as a laborer?"

Rong Shi didn't answer, just smiled and said: "Uncle, I still have something to do, so I won't tell you for now."

He ran to Luo Yi's residence and found that Luo Yi was not there, so he stopped a child casually and asked, "Do you know where Master Luo is?"

"Master is still in school."

Rong Shi rushed to the clan school again.

The students all went home after school, Luo Yi was the only one in the school.

He was writing at his desk, and the afterglow of the sunset fell on his thin cheeks, gentle and quiet.

Rong Shi suddenly slowed down his breathing, and quietly stopped outside the house.

It wasn't until Luo Yi stopped writing that he knocked on the open door.

Luo Yi raised his head and saw him, he couldn't help but bend his eyes, his eyes fell on the money bag in his hand, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have earned a lot of money."

"This money is for the master of the school..."

"Okay, remember to use another excuse next time." Luo Yi tidied up the table, got up and said, "My salary will be distributed by the clan, keep your money for yourself."

Rong Shi squeezed the purse tightly, "Actually, I want you to keep it for me."

"If you need someone to take care of you, Patriarch Rong is the best candidate." Luo Yi turned his back and locked the door, "Besides, I heard that Patriarch Rong picked out a marriage for you, and he will wait for you to come back and get married. Someone will protect your money for you..."

"What marriage!" Rong Shi frowned, "I didn't intend to get married!"

Luo Yi locked the door, turned around, his eyes were extremely calm: "How old are you, are you still married?"

"I'm only twenty!" Rong Shi turned his face away, "Anyway, I won't agree, I still have a lot to do."

Luo Yi frowned, and asked in surprise, "Are you really only twenty?"

Rong Shi: "..."

He held back for a while, and said in a bad mood: "You are a gentleman trained by a rich family, and I am just a rough man in the mountains, so naturally I can't compare to you."

Although he is a little dark and rough, but he is indeed only 20 years old!

Luo Yi laughed: "I don't mean that, I just think you are more mature and stable."

"Really?"

"En." Luo Yi changed the subject, "You said just now that there are still many things to do, what are you going to do?"

Rong Shi's eyes lighted slightly: "I saw a lot of things at the port that I had never seen before. I felt that I was really sitting in the sky before. I didn't know that the outside world was so novel and interesting."

"so?"

"So, I want to go out with the cargo ship and have a look."

Luo Yi lowered his eyes and smiled, "Very good."

"If you want anything, I'll bring it to you." Rong Shi suddenly lowered his voice.

Luo Yi was puzzled: "What?"

"You grew up in the capital, so you should miss it very much, right? I know that the imperial court forbids you to enter the capital again, so if you want something, I can bring it back to you." Rong Shi looked serious.

Luo Yi's heart suddenly warmed up, he lowered his head uncomfortably, and deliberately teased him: "So you plan to follow the cargo ship to the capital?"

"Of course not. I have inquired. The ship from Zhanzhou Port goes directly to Cangzhou Port. I will go to Gyeongju from Cangzhou Port, and then go to Beijing from Gyeongju. You told me before that you want to see Gyeongju, but you haven't If there is an opportunity, I just want to go there, and when I come back, I will tell you everything I saw and heard!"

Luo Yi really felt that this person talked more and more in front of him.

He raised his lips and said, "Then you can buy some textbooks for me in Gyeongju, and then go to the capital and bring me back a handful of soil."

"What do you do with soil?" Rong Shi was surprised.

Luo Yi was serious: "Plant flowers."

Rong Shi said: "But this is Longzhou, you can only grow southern flowers with the soil of the capital."

"Then plant southern flowers." Luo Yi smiled.

He was born in the capital, grew up in the capital, and studied in the capital. Now he wants to use what he has learned to cultivate more talents for Dasheng in the southern land.

Rong Shi stared at him with a solemn expression: "I will definitely bring it back for you."

"One more thing." Luo Yi frowned, "I found out that there are no female children in the ethnology."

"Should girls also study?" Rong Shi didn't understand this, "Didn't it mean that the imperial examination can only be taken by men?"

"But now there are female officials in the imperial court, and today the Holy Majesty implements the policy of co-examination for men and women. Women can also be officials in the future. Why should ethnology be limited to men and women?"

Rong Shi nodded, "I see, I will mention it to Grandpa and the clan elders, I will support you whatever you want to do!"

"Thank you." Luo Yi smiled sincerely, "There is one more thing."

"what?"

"Take care on the road and return safely."

Rong Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Then for the sake of me bringing you books and soil, take care of the purse for me!"

"You don't spend money on the way?"

"I kept a spare for myself!" Rong Shi looked at him expectantly.

Luo Yi was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you."

Rong Shi stuffed the money bag into his hand at once, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.

Luo Yi held the purse firmly, looked up, and saw the sky full of rays of light.

gorgeous.

In September of the first year of Zhaoqing, the annual three-part recruitment examination is approaching.

This time it is still a co-ed exam.

Whether it is the court or the people, they are used to this and no longer argue.

Everything is gradually on the right track, just waiting for the day when it will bear fruit.
