There were snowflakes floating outside the window, a layer of shallow snow inside and outside the small courtyard at the northern foothills, and deep and shallow tracks on the bluestone slabs seemed to be a few understrokes on plain white rice paper.

Chongzhou is not a cold place, and there is no snow in winter, so this year's snow is considered early.

Xiaoman was wearing a big red wedding dress, sitting in front of the window, and cried first, his eyes were red and swollen like peaches, Su Mei smiled: "What a happy event, you can't stop crying, but you have wronged you?" Don't cry anymore, cry again and you won't be a beautiful bride anymore. ”

"Sister, can't you stay in Chongzhou?" Xiaoman wiped his face and asked, "If you don't want to be in Chongzhou, what should I do if I bully others?" ”

"It's always been you who bully others, how can someone bully you?" Su Meiwan smiled, hugged Xiaoman lightly in his arms, and said, "I can't stay in Chongzhou now, but you are in Chongzhou, I can rest assured that ......"

"It's always not as good as you in Chongzhou," Xiaoman asked with melancholy and puzzlement, "The luxury family is just a place, why can't my sister stay in Chongzhou?" ”

"It's not that simple," Su Mei said softly, "In short, Chongzhou is thriving here, and my life in Jiangning is also comfortable, so there is nothing to worry about?" ”

The establishment of King Ning to the southeast of the town is a dangerous move for Emperor Chongguan, even if Zhang Xi, the son of Zhang Xie, is also the governor of King Ning's mansion, it is still difficult to reassure him, and it is necessary to prevent the local forces of Jiangdong County from completely falling to King Ning.

The local forces in Jiangdong County are mainly divided into two factions, one is the Wu Party and the other is the Dongyang faction.

Tang Haoxin's death can be said to be caused by many forces, but without the instruction of Emperor Chongguan, Zhang Xitong and Zhang Yan, who went south with King Ning, would not act as thugs. In addition to compromising with the Liang family and exchanging Shandong for the Liang family's troops, Emperor Chongguan also did not have the intention of putting an end to the possibility of Gu Wuchen and Lin Tie falling to King Ning.

In the later period of the Huaisi War, Emperor Chongguan wrote a holy edict and gave Lin Tie to serve as the envoy of Huaidong. The thoughts in this are complicated, and there is no intention of using Huaidong to contain the Liang family, and perhaps there is no complete reassurance of Yue Lengqiu - all of this is the emperor's mental technique, at least for the time being, Emperor Chongguan still regards Huaidong as a useful chess piece in his hand.

The injustice of Sumen involves the abolition of three generations of emperors, which will directly deny the legitimacy of Delong and Chongguan Emperors entering the Dragon Court, and will Emperor Chongguan still regard Huaidong as a useful chess piece?

Lin was in Chongzhou for less than two years before he mastered a county in Chongzhou, although he was the envoy of Huaidong, but he had no influence on the thirteen counties of Huaidong; It is far from comparable to the foundation of the eleventh generation of luxury families based on Jin'an.

The courtyard sounded with a soft sound of footsteps, Song Jia opened the curtain and came in, wearing a fox fur, the white and flawless fluff lined her face extra coquettishly, looked at Xiaoman crying and red-eyed, and said with a smile: "The one-eyed one wants to marry into the door, why is he wronged at this time?" ”

"Who was wronged?" Xiao Man pouted and said.

"If there is no grievance, the sedan chair is ready outside, go up the mountain, right?" Song Jiayan smiled and said to Su Mei, "I also prepared a sedan chair for Miss Su, and the Seventh Lady invited Miss Su to go up the mountain to get together, but it was very deserted under the mountain." ”

"It's hard work." Su Mei said.

"Miss Su wants to stay in Chongzhou, and I won't have my share in this position as a bookmaker." Song Jia said this seemingly unintentionally.

"Song Dianshu laughed, how could the concubine stay in Chongzhou?" Su Mei said lightly.

Song Jia didn't have any more rude temptations, she accepted it when she saw it, she always felt that Su Mei's identity was not simple, and secretly said that if Su Mei stayed in Chongzhou, she might not be willing to succumb to the concubine room, and she couldn't compete for the position of the wife, Lin Jian allowed her to be a female official, which was appropriate.

The Huaidong system has almost settled the official system, and the post of internal canon has been semi-formally set up, so that Song Jia can serve as it, and officially use her as his assistant. The position of the inner secretary is similar to that of female secretaries and female assistants in later generations, but unfortunately I can't enjoy the leisurely "secretary who has something to do".

************

It's already a little cold in season, and after today, it's the ninth winter.

Xiaoman's entry into the Lin family as a concubine was originally a matter of course, but everything depended on the marriage and chose to make a big gift today; It's just inconvenient to do it on a large scale.

If you really act according to the etiquette of accepting concubines, Xiaoman entered the door of the Lin family today, and he did not have the opportunity to have sex with him, but he had to go to the eldest woman's room to serve for three days in a row, only to watch, serve, and not participate, and only allowed to have sex with him on the fourth day.

It is the custom of the world to observe etiquette and respect wives and concubines.

Gu Junxun is a gentle person, and it is impossible for Lin Jian to wronged Xiaoman. Although it was not done in a big way, it was still based on the wedding ceremony.

Lin Jian walked into the room with a slight drunkenness, and without command, the mother-in-law who was waiting quietly retired and helped cover the door. Lin Jian took off the big red scarf, looked at the bright and charming appearance of Xiaoman under the red candle, the unruly little girl back then, now she has grown up, and sighed in her heart.

Although they usually get along with each other, they hug and hug, kiss and kiss, and touch and play, but they didn't become women in the last step, and they couldn't be more familiar, but Lin Jian stared under the candle, Xiaoman thought that he was going to officially become a woman tonight, and he blushed with shame.

"What's the fluster," Lin Jian sat down next to Xiaoman, shook her soft little hand, twisted it gently, looked at her slightly red and swollen but charming eyes, and asked with a smile, "Why are you still crying, are you afraid that I will eat you?" ”

gave Lin Lian a fork, Xiaoman regained his spirit, reached over and pulled Lin Lian's chin, and asked him, "Do you want to be a sister?" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Jian nodded.

"Then leave my sister in Chongzhou," Xiao Man said willfully, "I will depend on you for everything in ......the future."

"Shall I have two years?" Lin Lian pulled Xiaoman into his arms, Xiaoman and Su Mei looked good, but they were half a head shorter than Su Mei, and they were the most petite among the girls, "Two years should be enough, and then you sisters will not be wronged......

"You have to remember, this is what you promised me, and I won't let my sister be wronged again in two years." Xiaoman said.

"Of course, from now on, you will be the Lin Men Su clan, the little lady of Huaidong, and you will also change your name to call me Xianggong," Lin Jian smiled and asked again, "The hour is not early, are we going to lie down and rest?" ”

"Whatever you want?" Xiao Man said shyly with a pretty face.

Lin Jian saw that her face was as charming as a glow, delicate and soft, so he started to help her untie her clothes.

The outer compartment is burning with a large copper basin, so that the inner compartment is also cold, warmer than the outside of the courtyard, Xiaoman is stripped naked, the skin on his body is as beautiful as white, Lin Tie stroked, teasing her feelings.

When Xiaoman's body was as moist as Xijin and his face was like a red pill, and his eyes were charming, Lin Lian was also fascinated by his heartbeat.

Although Xiaoman has always been protected by Su Mei, the environment in which he grew up is very different from Gu Junxun, and he is sexually bound by etiquette and religion. The legs between the clamps were broken, the face was so hot that Lin Tie stepped forward to the bottom, next to the lip, the key point was hit, a feeling like an electric shock went straight to the heart from the heart of the thigh, Xiao Man's subconscious legs were clamped to Lin Tie's waist, his hands were wrapped around Lin Tie's neck like fire, and said timidly: "Xianggong's ...... You're big there, don't hurt Xiaoman...... The Seventh Lady said that the first time it will make you die of pain. ”

Lin Tie didn't expect Ying Sleeve to quietly teach Xiao Man this, seeing her writhing under him, afraid and welcome, but grinding his emotions blazing, his hand came over, grabbed her tender and slippery soft little buttocks, attached to her ear, and said: "Ying Sleeve once said that it was fun to be tight......

"Hmm!" Xiaoman said embarrassedly, his heart was flustered, but he knew that women were born to suffer this time, so he couldn't stand it, and when he really stabbed the knife into it, he felt a layer of flesh as if it was torn apart, tears burst out, and his body tensed and hugged Lin Bin: "Don't, don't, it hurts, you all lie to me, what's the fun?" ”

Lin Jian leaned over and hugged Xiaoman, provoking and kissing her in her ear, knowing that her body was tender, he was afraid that he would really hurt her, so he restrained the love in his heart, couldn't get out or out, turned over, and let her lie on top of her and stroke her back and buttocks in a heartache.

After surviving the great pain, he eased up, but he couldn't move, and Xiao Man lay on Lin Lian's chest like a little beast, and fell asleep not long after. Xiaoman's body was not heavy, so Lin Jian let her go, thinking about some things, diverging her thoughts, and she didn't know how long it took, and she fell asleep.

For three days in a row, although Lin Lian had the same room with Xiaoman, he didn't dare to move her, and tried to love one after another, so that Xiaoman completely became a woman, but Lin Lian couldn't have a good time.

When secretly doing good deeds with Gu Yingsleeve, Lin Jian told her about the hardships of three-day intercourse. Gu Yingsleeve Guanyin sat in his arms like a lotus, and said with a smile: "What blessing did Xiaoman cultivate in her life, but let you spoil her so much?" ”

"How many of you, which one I don't like?" Lin Jian said, holding the breasts of Yingsleeve in his hand and kneading it, asking her to twist her head and the two mouths pouted.

After kissing for a while, Gu Yingsleeve asked Shan Rou about it again: "What are you doing about Xiaoliu?" You've lit up the fire in other people's hearts, and you can't just do it. There are many women around you, you don't want anything, people are hungry in their hearts......"

"I plan to set up a new-style school outside the county school, set up in Hecheng, teach Confucianism and miscellaneous studies, and recruit some young people from Chongzhou, Shanyang and other counties first. The school provides room and board, presumably those poor children who have no way out will come, and it is not a problem to recruit people, which can be regarded as a start. In addition, below the Huaidong Army, children of appropriate age must be sent to study......" Lin Jian said.

"Do you want to send Zhaoyi out of Chongzhou and run a school for this matter?" Gu Yingsleeve asked.

"Your mouth is also going to be nonsense," Lin Jian gently bit Gu Ying's lip, which was as bright as a red pill, "Running a school is a serious matter." Whether it is going to sea or a factory, it takes a large number of people to recruit people to meet the needs of the moment, but to maintain it for a long time, it is necessary to run a school...... First, we will do the general category, and then we will do it separately. Navigation schools, military schools, business schools, engineering schools, and so on must be run, and we must not let the world's reading and literacy rush to become officials. Of course, those who can go out to sea to manage ships and fleets, who can lead troops to fight, who can manage workshops, who can take care of shops, and who can pick out some excellent seeds, have no problem becoming officials. Do you really think that there is a lot of knowledge in being an official? ”

"I heard the old man say that if you are an emperor, you have to take the matter of being an official and gather the hearts of all the people in the world. If you do this, and go to sea, do business, and work, you are not afraid that the hearts of the people will be scattered in the future? Gu Yingsleeve asked.

Lin Jian smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk about it then." "I thought to myself, I know this truth, why don't those top people in the world understand?

For thousands of years, a big factor in suppressing commerce, sea, and industry was to ensure the independence of the emperor and the exclusive power of the monarch.

Once you let go of your mouth and expand the scale of navigation, commerce and industry, the people's hearts will be lively, how many people will willingly bow down under the skirt of monarchy and imperial power?

Of course, with the collapse of agrarian societies and the increasing centralization of industrial production in the empire, new currents of thought were bound to emerge and social changes would follow.

At that point, even if the monarch's power can barely be maintained, it will be set up in the air.

However, in the present day, society was still dominated by agricultural production, and with such a large territory, a centralized imperial system was an effective means of maintaining social order.

The key is whether the imperial system can open an opening for the social changes that are destined to come in the future, and alleviate the impact on society when the changes come; Or use the time of several generations to actively cater to new changes?
