Chen Ying could only smile bitterly and said, "I was thinking that the difference in production models determines the fundamental difference in the population base that can be supported on the same piece of land and the military organization capabilities."

The post-modern words made Li Xiuning feel confused, like clouds and fog.Li Xiuning asked suspiciously: "What is the direct relationship between this and your writing?"

Chen Ying secretly sighed that he was really mediocre.

Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step, and the steps should not be too large, if they are too big, it is easy to pull the egg.For example, Wang Mang and Yang Guang, these two big brothers played themselves into it because the pace of reform was too big.

Chen Ying smiled wryly and didn't have time to speak.

Li Xiuning threw the book on the table, got up and said to Cui'er: "It seems that someone is not happy about our coming... Let's not be an eyesore here, pack up our things, let's go home." Li Xiuning was confused again Tweety blinked.

After a long time, Cui'er finally didn't waste Li Xiuning's good intentions, and understood Li Xiuning's meaning: "Your Highness, this servant is going to pack up."

Speaking of which, Li Xiuning and Cui'er walked towards the door hand in hand.

Although Chen Ying is no longer the first brother, he really lacks experience in dealing with women. If he is a master of love in later generations, he can tell Li Xiuning is playing with Chen Ying at a glance.

However, Chen Ying didn't see it, he thought that Li Xiuning was really angry, he hurried forward to stop Li Xiuning and said anxiously: "Sanniang, you are welcome, you can come to me...I... very happy."

As soon as Chen Ying became nervous, he couldn't speak fluently.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying, who was stunned on the battlefield. He was incoherent, embarrassed, and felt very comfortable: "Then what do you mean? I have come here, and you don't accompany me around? Could it be you ?”

"Where is it?" Chen Ying looked at the dark night sky outside, and asked hesitantly, "Just now?"

"Now, is there anything we can't do?" Li Xiuning turned to look at Chen Ying and said, "We can learn from the ancients!"

"Learn from the ancients?" Chen Ying thought to himself, why do you want to learn from the ancients? You are the ancients.

Seeing that Chen Ying still didn't understand what Chen Ying meant, Li Xiuning covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Learn from the ancients...go out at night holding candles."

"Okay, let's go now!" After saying that, Chen Ying shouted outside the door: "Lan'er, bring some lanterns over here!"

After a while, Lan'er was carrying a lantern, and the two sisters, Lvzhu and Hongxiu, were also carrying a lantern.Chen Ying pointed to the three bright halls on the left side of the study and said, "This is my bedroom, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Li Xiuning didn't speak, and walked directly to Chen Ying's bedroom.

Lan'er and Hongxiu walked ahead quickly, knocked on the door of Chen Ying's bedroom, and lit the candlesticks in the room one by one.

Although Chen Ying's bedroom has three rooms, in fact there is only one real bedroom, one is used as an indoor washroom, and the other is the annexe where Lan Er, the housemaid, lives.There are copper lamps with lion heads on both walls of the bedroom. The lamps are shaped like hydrangea balls raised by lion dancers in later generations. There is a lamp panel in each embroidered bead, which contains five lamp posts, four lamp posts with twenty lamp posts, and three lamp posts are lit at the same time. Big candles illuminate the three bedrooms as brightly as day.

Chen Ying's big bed is also completely different from this era.

It's a Simmons bed with a backrest, but it's bigger.The entire bed was a full foot wide (about [-] meters) and nine feet six inches long.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying's bed, and suddenly turned around with a smile on her face and said, "There may be many people sleeping in this bed!"

Lan'er spoke quickly and said without hesitation: "It's not crowded at all to sleep four people."

When Chen Ying heard this, his face turned green.

Li Xiuning's face slowly changed.

four people.

Isn't Lan'er, Hongxiu, Lvzhu and Chen Ying four people?

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying fiercely: "Mr. Chen, you really know how to enjoy yourself. Why don't you build a ten-foot-wide bed?"

Li Xiuning said to Cui'er with a straight face, "Let's go!"

As soon as Chen Ying heard this, he knew that Li Xiuning had misunderstood, and said to Lan Er with a stern face: "When did four people sleep in this bed?"

Lan'er saw Chen Ying's fierceness, tears were about to come out: "It was last month, when Gao Wenjin came over, the four of us slept on it, it was very comfortable."

Li Xiuning blushed, knowing that she had misunderstood.

Chen Ying pointed to Li Xiuning to visit his bathroom.

Fortunately, Li Xiuning was attracted by Chen Ying's weird bathroom.

……

Coming out of Chen Ying's bedroom, Chen Ying took Li Xiuning to the turret in the front yard.

The turret is the place where Chen Ying first built a simple watchtower. At this time, a seven-storey octagonal building rose from the ground.Chen Ying and Li Xiuning walked to the seventh floor of the turret. Chen Ying pointed to the outline of Chen's Fort in the distance and said, "This will be our future home. Although the place is not big...but it can shelter from the wind and rain."

Li Xiuning was slightly surprised and said, "Chen's Wubao is more than two hundred feet long, right?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Not only that, it's 210 two feet high, two feet high, and the city wall is one foot two feet thick."

And length, that is to say the meaning of circumference, 210 feet, about 980 meters, this is already a big city.

Chen Ying continued to explain to Li Xiuning: "The city wall is going to be rammed with blue bricks and soil, and a low earth wall is built on the outside of the solid and tall masonry wall, east, west, and north. A narrow gap is left between the earth wall and the wall. Space, as a watchman to pass through, is also a patrol road."

Li Xiuning said indifferently: "I'm afraid the construction of your Wubao is not just to guard against thieves, is it? Who do you want to guard against?"

Chapter 73 Life and Death Qi Kuo and Zi Chengyue

Chen Ying was silent. He has been an official for so long, and he knows how to advance and retreat.Now he is a guest of the East Palace, a school inspector, the left and right guards of the East Palace, and after all, he is still a low-level official. Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng can just stretch out a finger and beat him back to his original shape.

In the name of inspecting the school's left and right guards, Li Jiancheng will hand over the left and right guards to him with ten soldiers and horses from the Zhechong Mansion. Isn't it a test?If Chen Ying doesn't believe Li Jiancheng, he can't see that the size of the Wubao built by Chen Ying exceeds the size of an ordinary manor, and even exceeds the size of a county town. For example, the ancient city of Loulan has an area of ​​nearly 12 square meters and a circumference of only 48. Chen Ying's Wubao is rectangular, 57 feet long from east to west, and [-] feet nine feet wide from north to south.

It can be said that in terms of scale, it is more than three times the size of the ancient city of Loulan.This is no longer a county seat, at least it is considered a state-level city.

Chen Ying was silent, but Li Xiuning was not silent. She said coldly: "There are more than a thousand large and small forts in Hedong, and the largest one is the Xuejiabao built by Xue Daoheng in Hedong. Outside, all the prefectures and counties fell, but the Xuejiabao stood still, Liu Wu Zhou's general Xiao Deyin commanded 160 troops, it took more than a month, he could not advance an inch, and instead lost [-] troops, but the Xuejiabao was only [-] to [-] feet long."

Facing the aggressive Li Xiuning, Chen Ying suddenly thought of the "Jiang Zuo Jing", and suddenly had an idea, Chen Ying thought it over and said: "Your Majesty doesn't like aristocratic families and nobles who control the government from generation to generation?"

Li Xiuning nodded, and suddenly her face turned cold: "Don't change the subject, what are you building a city here for?"

"The Ninth-Rank Official Personnel Law created by Chen Qun seems to be able to demonstrate the prestige of the imperial court, but the aristocratic family's powerful people are not able to get rid of it. They have gradually changed from the honesty of the country to the moth of the country!" Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said: "You don't object to this, right? ?”

Although Li Xiuning wanted to know what medicine Chen Ying sold in the gourd, Li Xiuning felt that what Chen Ying said seemed very reasonable.

Chen Yingdao: "It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, you don't object to this?"

Li Xiuning nodded, now she was even more confused.

"When I was in the study just now, what I said was a bit insincere!" Chen Ying smiled wryly, "The Sui Dynasty was destroyed by the aristocratic family, so this made His Majesty very vigilant, and he was thinking of a way to change the government of the Tang Dynasty. "

"What does this have to do with your building the city?" Li Xiuning turned around and walked downstairs.

"Why doesn't it matter? Why don't you understand?" Chen Yingdao: "In the seventh year of Emperor Wen's decree to divide the imperial examinations, in the 38 years of the Sui Dynasty, a total of ten scholars and 50 Jinshi were admitted Twelve subjects are admitted, and there are four or five times in total. This book counts as five times), among which the children of the aristocratic families from all over the world occupy two-thirds of the places, but now, where are the one-third of the humble scholars now?"

In the Sui Dynasty, xiucai was not a general term for scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Xiucai originally referred to people with outstanding talents, which was similar to "xiushi" in "Book of Rites".At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen Yang Jian had great foresight and insight, and abolished the "nine-rank Zhongzheng" system and replaced it with the scholar department.In the second year of Daye, Emperor Yangdi of Sui Dynasty (606 A.D.), an advanced method of selecting talents - the Jinshi Section was established.It is characterized by the selection of talents by means of examinations, rather than by local inspections. The Jinshi Division announced the birth of the Chinese imperial examination system.
