[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child
Chapter 124
As soon as Lin Liu finished speaking, before the other officials could react, Guozijian Jijiu directly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, no!"
Lin Liu looked down at the Guozijian Jijiu: "Aiqing is talking about it, why not?"
Guozijian sacrificial wine replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you can't favor one person over another. Since you are going to add a course for women's studies, how can you fall into the Guozijian? Don't the students of the Guozijian not be the disciples of the emperor?"
Lin Liu raised her eyebrows, this old man...
Is this because you want to sing a double reed with yourself?
She smiled and said: "I didn't say that just now, I just don't force Guozijian to open such a brand new course, but if Guozijian Jijiu is willing to offer such a course to Guozijian students, I will be very happy!"
Guozijian Jijiu immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I implore the emperor to allow Guozijian Jijiu to offer relevant courses."
Lin Liu looked at the Guozijian offering wine, and nodded after a long time: "Yes!"
After the Guozijian sacrificial wine was withdrawn, the other officials were temporarily speechless, and no one stood up to answer for a long time.
Lin Liu didn't expect that after Guozijian's sacrificial wine answered, the effect would be so good.
She looked around for a week and said, "If you have no other opinions, today..."
"Sir, I have a different opinion."
Lin Liu glanced at him, he was an official of the Imperial Academy, and his beard had turned white.
She immediately sat up straight and looked down at the other party: "Speak."
The old Hanlin replied tremblingly: "My minister, I feel that it is not appropriate for the emperor to rashly add the knowledge passed down from overseas to the imperial examination. I am a big country in China, and all the books handed down are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors. It will be regarded as the content of the imperial examination. However, overseas knowledge is just a knowledge that a group of foreigners have just made. It has not passed the test of time. I don’t know whether it is beneficial to the country or the people. Join the imperial examination?"
Lin Liu glanced at the other party. Seeing the other party's age, he didn't utter any bad words. He just said, "Zhao Hanlin didn't even read those books, just because they learned when you were still alive. , instead of arbitrarily arbitrarily arguing that those learnings are not worth learning before you were born? According to your statement, when the sages of Confucius and Mencius first wrote the Analects of Confucius and other articles, wouldn’t they be despised by others instead of Honored?"
The old Hanlin was dumb, but he didn't want to admit defeat, so he still bite the bullet and said: "But your majesty, Anxie is all learning from overseas barbarians, how can it be compared with Huaxia?"
Lin Liu frowned and thought about her words, worried that she would speak too harshly and anger the old Hanlin.
Lin Ruhai stood up directly: "Zhao Hanlin's words are wrong. Confucius once said that three people must have my teacher. If this is the case, are you just simply and rudely treating it as the principle of doing things between people? The same applies between countries."
"I have seen with my own eyes the studies made by those gentlemen who came from overseas. Although they are different from the articles we are studying today, they are all about astronomy, geography, and physics. But it is not an exaggeration to say that they are really detailed. After reading it, people suddenly understand. It will definitely give birth to a clearer understanding of the world.”
"After reading it, the old man also hated that he was getting older and didn't have the energy to study hard when he was young, otherwise he would have to worship them as teachers so that he could learn a lot. Now His Majesty is willing to pass this knowledge on to his children Learning is due to His Majesty's kindness, if Zhao Hanlin doesn't want his own children to learn, no one will force him."
"Zhao Hanlin, don't worry, we have discussed it with the emperor, because considering that many candidates have studied hard for more than ten years, Xu is unable to accept new knowledge for the time being, so we propose to separate it from the assessment of knowledge such as the Four Books and Five Classics, and list it as a separate category. door exam."
Ji Song chimed in: "If Zhao Hanlin is worried that not learning the relevant knowledge will affect the performance of the imperial examination, there is no need for it. The emperor said that although the proportion of relevant knowledge assessment in the examination paper will increase year by year, all questions belong to the The additional questions will only affect the distribution of official positions after becoming an official in the court, and will not affect the ranking of candidates."
"After the two exams are separated, candidates can choose to take both, but they can also take the same exam as before, and only take one of the Four Books and Five Classics. The two exams are ranked separately, and the number of admissions for the Four Books and Five Classics is also the same as before. The other exam Candidates will not occupy the number of candidates in traditional imperial examinations."
Having said that, I understand everything that should be understood——
Although the emperor intends to vigorously promote the knowledge studied by overseas foreigners, he does not force everyone to learn.If you think that knowledge is not on the table, it is not as good as the Four Books and Five Classics, and it goes all the way to the black, anyway, it will not affect the normal imperial examination admissions.
Although everyone knows that there must be tricks behind it——
If there is no trick, how could the emperor force female students to waste the time of the imperial examination for no reason to learn the knowledge from overseas?
But the emperor has already talked about this point, even if other people guess it, it is difficult to speak again.
What's more, Lin Liu didn't intend to let them speak again.
After Lin Ruhai and Ji Song finished talking, Lin Liu said with a smile: "There are other details, which are recorded very clearly in the mansion newspaper. If you have any doubts, after you go home and read the mansion newspaper, you can discuss it at the next court meeting." That’s what I said above. Don’t worry, I will never do such things as forcing others, let alone learning such things.”
Anyway, it's still early, there is no sign of the first industrial revolution in Europe, and China's development can also take its time, there is no need to worry at all.
Civil and military officials: "..."
Before you say this, can you take back the order to force the female school to offer a course?
Lin Liu smiled, and turned to look at Bichun next to her: "If there's something to play, if there's nothing to go back to—"
……
At the end of the court meeting, all civil and military officials received the report from Lin Liu's mouth.
None of the officials dared to ignore this mansion report. After mastering the Dao hand, it was like studying a classic, and they studied everything related to the imperial examination word for word.
The above content is actually not much different from what Lin Ruhai and Ji Song said, but the wording above is more tolerant than what the two said, and it really brought the phrase "you love to learn or not to learn" to the extreme.
Even the civil and military officials still have a vague feeling that the current emperor wants to persuade them not to learn these new knowledge.
Civil and military officials: "..."
Then most of them all came to the same conclusion——
The emperor must want to make big moves, and these moves must be related to the new knowledge from overseas.
Those who are smart, make up their minds in an instant, after the emperor organizes the articles of those foreigners into books and starts selling them, they must buy them back as soon as possible, not only to learn by themselves, but also to let the children at home learn!
Those who are smart but like to look forward and backward think that they will make their own decisions after they know what the emperor wants to do in the future.
Among the civil and military officials, there are still a few who are too stupid to see through the mansion report.
And among those officials who understand it, those who are so stubborn that they know that the emperor will use the knowledge of those foreigners to make big moves in the future, but still don't want their children to learn, are even more...
not even one.
People are not stupid, knowing that the emperor valued this, but still bit the bullet and confronted the emperor.
Although Lin Liu said that he would not force it, as long as there is a chance, who would want to stay where he is and be left behind by others?
It's fine for them themselves, not for children!
Lin Liu's original intention of doing this is to let the female students take the lead, so that when the steam car starts to be put into use, when it starts to change everyone's living habits, and starts to change the whole world, they can rely on this step Take the lead and occupy a more favorable position.
But I didn't expect that I had said what I said. Among the group of people who should have opposed it desperately, they all did the opposite, and began to pay attention to and look forward to the release of that book.
Lin Liu: "..."
This is probably the true portrayal of the saying "It's best not to get it"?
Lin Liu was a little hesitant, should he change the method and use coercive means to force everyone to learn scientific knowledge?In this way, maybe they won't take this scientific knowledge in their eyes?
But that's what she thought.
Although she wanted to improve the status of women, she did not want to suppress men.If enough signals are given, they are still stubborn and unwilling to accept it, and it is their own fault that they are finally thrown away, but if they accept it, and you still try to suppress them, then it is completely unnecessary.
After knowing the choice of civil and military officials, Lin Liu immediately put this matter behind her, and began to watch closely the group of people from the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Academy to compile a science textbook from simple to deep.
This process still takes some time. For the sake of the quality of the teaching materials, Lin Liu will not urge these officials of the Imperial Academy.
However, during this period, Lin Liu also took time to pay attention to the hospital examination.
The group of girls who passed the Tongsheng exam gave up the college exam this time after careful consideration based on their own circumstances.
But this does not mean that there will be no other female candidates in this college examination.
Although there are fewer candidates from women's studies, the number of female candidates for this college examination has returned to the previous level, only a dozen or so, but these dozen female candidates are surprisingly impressive. , almost every candidate's ranking is in the front row.
But this news will no longer attract the attention of the people in the capital——
Because everyone is accustomed to the excellence of the female candidates.
……
After the college examination was over, Sheng Man approached Lin Liu to resign.
She is now serving as an imperial envoy, and she is about to go to various parts of the country to inspect the local environment, and needs to build three girls' schools in each prefecture.
It has been a long time since the master and apprentice have spoken alone, and now that they are in the same room, they feel much more relaxed.
The two put aside their identities as monarchs and ministers, and chatted about their respective lives.
Sheng Man thought of Lin Liu's age, and said with a smile: "Your current age, that is, the stinky and hard-tempered old man of the Ministry of Rites is standing in front of you, otherwise the civil and military officials would have started urging you to give birth to an heir. But even if there is a Minister of Rites standing in front of you, when you get married, all civil and military officials will start to be born."
There is a difference between men and women, even if Lin Ruhai and Ji Song are interested, it is not good to talk about this topic directly with Lin Liu.
Jia Min kept his filial piety recently, so naturally he couldn't enter the palace to talk to Lin Liu, so Sheng Man was the first one to talk about this topic with Lin Liu.
Lin Liu smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with being pregnant and having a baby. If you pay more attention, there won't be any big problems."
At her current age, as long as she is well cared for during pregnancy, the chance of encountering danger is still very low.She also has supernatural powers, not to mention other things, at least her body is definitely better than ordinary people.
Coupled with what Yiseng said before, about the longevity tablet, Lin Liu has never worried about giving birth.
Moreover, she will not live forever.
It would be good to have at most two, and she even thought that if she gave birth, the first one would definitely have a daughter.Now the daughter also has the right to inherit, and it also prevents a group of officials from chattering about the heir.
As for whether the second child will be born, whether to have a son or a daughter, it must be discussed with Ji Song.
Seeing that she has a plan, Sheng Man couldn't help laughing: "It's good that you are like this, I thought that you have never been married, because you have resistance to getting married and have children, or you have no ideas, but now it seems that I think too much. "
Lin Liu laughed: "What's wrong with getting married and having children? When you meet the right person, you get married. If you don't, you don't get married. If you don't meet someone, you get divorced. If the other person is good, you can live a good life. As long as you don't be affected by foreign things How can you live a good life without your own judgment of your own heart.”
Sheng Man was stunned for a while, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
When Lin Liu met, thinking of the other party's experience, she couldn't help persuading: "Sir, you are not particularly old. If you meet the right person, there is actually no need for Yi to be single forever."
Sheng Man waved her hand: "I'm already half buried in the ground, so where do I still have those messy thoughts? I just thought of my child who was born in time. If he can be born safely, I'm afraid the child will be several years old now."
Lin Liu looked at Sheng Man with some worry, but saw that although there was regret in her eyes, there was not much sadness left, so she was relieved.
Sheng Man has already come out.
After Lin Liu realized this, for some reason, it felt like a heavy stone had been removed from her heart, and she felt much more relaxed.
——May those women who have endured suffering bid farewell to the past like Sheng Man.
Sheng Man met Lin Liu's eyes and smiled: "You don't want this kind of expression, let me tell you a good thing to make you happy?"
As she spoke, Sheng Man mentioned her ex-husband's family.
"After you came to the throne, you directly dismissed my ex-husband's father from his official position, and ransacked their house. The family didn't know what to think. They thought that you did this because of me, so they were frightened by the ransacking of the house, and took it with them overnight. The luggage fled back home."
Although she has reconciled with the past, Sheng Man must be happy to hear that the family is not doing well——
After all, the pain I suffered back then will not disappear in thin air.
"Because the situation was chaotic at the time, and his hometown was relatively remote, so they lived pretty well there after returning to their hometown. But they didn't expect them to kill themselves. Didn't you smash the chastity archway of the Ke family shortly after you became the throne? At that time Many people got wind of it and became extremely wary of the existence of the Chastity Archway."
"After you promulgated the imperial decree, directly saying that people who have a chastity archway at home will not be allowed to take the imperial examination, many people have become secretive about the existence of the chastity archway. Except for a few stubborn old people who are still proud of the chastity archway, most people They all smashed their chastity archways."
"But my ex-husband's hometown is very remote, isn't the news not circulating? They have no one to be an official, they are just an ordinary and relatively wealthy family, so they didn't get the news at all."
"My ex-husband had a concubine brother who was always weak and sick because he was treated too much by his aunt when he was a child. When my ex-husband's father was dismissed from office and fled back to his hometown with all his family overnight, he was frightened and ran all the way. Finally, his illness disappeared. They didn't know what they were thinking, but after going back to their hometown to hold the funeral for that concubine, they were worried that the news from the capital would reach their hometown, so they planned ahead and wanted to build a chastity archway, so that their reputation would be better."
"Then, the widow of the bastard committed suicide."
To be honest, according to the ancient customs of blind marriage and dumb marriage, it is a very rare thing for a husband and wife to have a relationship, and it is even more impossible for a couple to have such a deep relationship that they are willing to die for love after the death of their husband.
But this kind of thing happened repeatedly, and no one doubted its authenticity.
"Unfortunately, after his concubine's widow died in love, his family handed over the report to the local government to apply for the chastity arch, and sent it to the local government's table together with your imperial decree. That official is also a dare to think and do, Immediately decided to set my ex-husband’s family as an example, without saying anything, and directly brought the government’s yamen to investigate.”
"Because it was too sudden, they failed to destroy the evidence in time, so they killed the concubine and the widow, and their conspiracy to build a chastity archway was exposed in broad daylight. My ex-husband's parents were directly arrested as the mastermind Beheaded for murder, and the others have a bad reputation in the local area, and they are struggling in the local area."
Lin Liu was also a little surprised when he heard this.
It can only be said that the law of heaven is reincarnated, and the retribution is not good.The whole family wanted to take a shortcut, and finally fell directly on it.
After Sheng Man finished talking about it, she sighed slightly: "It's just a pity for the bastard's wife. Although she has a bad personality, she has confronted me before, but in the end the crime is not worthy of death..."
Fortunately, the chastity archway has been destroyed, otherwise, even if the local officials want to look good for their political achievements, even if they know that there is something wrong behind this matter, they will not strictly investigate it.
Lin Liu nodded: "That family really deserved it!"
The two talked for a while, Sheng Man took a look at the sky, and said goodbye directly: "We will bid farewell today, maybe it will be several years before we see each other again, you must remember to take care of your health."
Lin Liu stepped forward and hugged Sheng Man: "Sir, safe journey, take care!"
On the second day after Sheng Man left the palace, she left the capital with her luggage and her officials, and went directly to the nearby prefectural city to investigate the local situation.
Her task is quite heavy, after all, what Lin Liu said at the beginning was to open at least three girls' schools in every prefecture.
But Shengman is as sweet as a cane.
……
Sheng Man left, but Guiling finally returned to the capital.
Before leaving the capital, Guiling was still a fair-skinned and handsome young man, but now that he came back, he was still a mature young man with a wheat complexion.
After a day of recuperating at home, Gui Ling went directly to the palace to see Lin Liu.
Lin Liu looked at Guiling's familiar yet unfamiliar face, and beckoned at him: "Guiling, come here quickly so I can take a good look at it?"
Gui Ling paused, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when she met Shang Linliu's familiar eyes.
Then, he walked directly in front of Lin Liu: "My sister is well, the emperor is well!"
Lin Liu laughed: "You brat!"
Guiling smiled, as if he had just regained the feeling he had when he was with Lin Liu: "Sister, potatoes and sweet potatoes have been successfully promoted to all parts of the country, and the food and clothing problems of ordinary people everywhere have been solved. My brother has lived up to expectations."
Lin Liu smiled and patted his shoulder: "You did a very good job."
The two hugged each other, and Guiling sat next to him, and then the two began to talk about their lives in these years apart.
As the emperor, Lin Liu was watched in every aspect, even though Gui Ling was far away in other places, he got a lot of news about Lin Liu through newspapers.Although it cannot be said that Gui Ling knew Lin Liu's life well this year, but he also knew a lot.
On the contrary, Guiling is far away from home, even if the communication has never been cut off, the capital does not know enough about his experiences abroad these years.
Therefore, most of the conversations between the two siblings consisted of Lin Liu asking questions and Gui Ling answering.
He has a good eloquence, and many ordinary things will become interesting in the end through Gui Ling's mouth.The most interesting of these are the customs and scenic spots of various places.
Guiling really likes to run around, so those originally unremarkable scenery from his mouth are also full of yearning attraction.
Lin Liu was very happy at first, but after listening to it, she became a little sad: "Guiling, don't you want to be an official?"
Guiling was stunned, and the words that had slipped to his lips were swallowed back.
He looked at Lin Liu in surprise: "Why did my sister say that? Could it be that I didn't complete the task well this time?"
Guiling blankly recalled what he had seen and heard along the way. Although he also encountered some minor problems, they were all resolved safely. The characters who promoted potatoes and sweet potatoes also completed very smoothly, right?
Lin Liu looked at Guiling, and sighed slightly: "I just heard you talk about what you have seen and heard from various places, and suddenly I feel that you are most interested in those customs and customs."
People like Guiling, if they lived in modern times, would also dream of traveling around the world, right?
"So it's this." Guiling laughed.
He tilted his head and thought about his words before he spoke, "My sister knows that the road of my life has been paved by my father since I was born. It's not difficult. I just need to follow my father's guidance and keep going forward." gone."
"I think that many people should envy my life, because it is smooth and the future is bright."
Lin Liu subconsciously held her breath and concentrated, worrying that Guiling would directly say "but".
Gui Ling smiled: "When I used to look at the Year of the Crane, the Year of the Deer, and the Year of the Cat, I was actually a little envious, especially knowing that they all had their own interests and hobbies early on, and they could spend a lifetime I even feel a little jealous when I spend it on it."
All brothers can spend this life according to their own ideas, only he can't.
Guiling was not very old at the time, let alone experienced too much, so he naturally began to doubt, and felt conflicted about the responsibilities and burdens that were inherent in him.
"However," Gui Ling looked at Lin Liu and said with a smile, "I am very grateful to my sister for entrusting the task of promoting potatoes and sweet potatoes to my younger brother. It was only during this task that I discovered that what I like is not to be as indulgent as celebrities. Shanshui, but let this great river and mountain be peaceful and healthy, and the scenery remains the same.”
He raised his head and looked at Lin Liu seriously, "Compared to visiting the mountains and rivers, my younger brother hopes that the people living in the mountains and rivers can spend their lives in peace."
Lin Liu was stunned, and then laughed after a long time: "I didn't expect you to go out and find your true ideal. But if your ideal is this, I'm afraid you won't have many opportunities to go out in the future."
Guiling smiled and shook his head: "My brother has traveled all over the rivers and mountains this time, and has seen thousands of mountains and rivers. Even if he can't leave the capital for the rest of his life, he will have no regrets in this life."
"Really?" Lin Liu held back his anger, "Although you have seen all the great rivers and mountains of our country, are you sure you have no interest in overseas scenery?"
Guiling was stunned: "Overseas?"
Lin Liu nodded: "I just got the news that the big ship sent to pick up David and his family members arrived safely and brought them back. Maybe it won't be long before they will come to the capital to meet with David." Waiting for people to reunite."
Because the correspondence has never been broken, Guiling is no stranger to the name David.
He looked at Lin Liu: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Lin Liu glanced at Guiling, and covered her forehead speechlessly: "Of course this is a good thing. It's just that they came back with them, and there is another piece of news."
"what news?"
"The royal families and nobles in those countries in Europe love Lin Shenjian deer's silk fabrics deeply. Lin Shenjian deer's silk fabrics are very popular and highly sought after, almost becoming a must-have for those royal families and nobles. will be ridiculed by others."
Gui Ling was stunned: "Although Lin Shenjian's silk fabrics are exquisite and gorgeous and highly sought after, they are just cloth, so it's not like..."
It suddenly occurred to him that when you, Lin Shenjianlu, were the most popular, Lu Sui used Lin Shenjianlu's silk fabrics, jewelry and rouge to trade with the wives and daughters of some officials, and successfully exchanged the grain in the government granary Mostly true.
Guiling: "..."
It's incomprehensible, but it does seem possible.
Lin Liu has a deeper understanding of this——
After all, in modern times, not only have people lined up in front of the store overnight with a tent in order to buy a fruit phone, but there has even been a ridiculous incident of cutting off one of their own kidneys to sell in order to save money for a fruit phone.
It is not surprising that the royal family and nobles are crazy about Lin Shenjianlu's silk fabrics.
Gui Ling looked at Lin Liu: "And then?"
Lin Liu said helplessly and amusedly: "Then, in order to get more silk fabrics, those royal nobles found out that I was interested in the scientists of their country, so they started to hunt down the scientists and arrested them, waiting for us to take them with us. Lin Shen sees deer's silk fabric as a substitute."
Guiling blinked, and he was a little confused: "Sister, you mean that in order to get some silk fabrics, those royal nobles sent talents from their own country to our country with a clearly marked price? My sister attaches great importance to those people, and is willing to take so much?" If we exchange more silk fabrics with them, can no one see the true value of them?"
"Someone must have seen it," Lin Liu smiled, "But although European countries often marry each other, they are still enemies in essence, and the frequency of wars is definitely not infrequent."
Even if someone sees the benefits of those people, who is willing to remind their enemies and let the enemy's power grow stronger?
They can't even ask the enemy for talents, for fear of attracting the attention of the other party.
Compared with the enemies around us who may break out at any time, it is obviously more beneficial for those talents to be sent overseas, just to travel for a few months or even more than half a year.
Therefore, except for a small number of talents who were hidden for research, scientists in the whole of Europe were almost directly copied, and the only difference was the fern roots.
Lin Liu: "..." This was really not her intention!
At most, she just thinks about poaching some of the talents in Europe to develop China's national strength, so that China will not miss the two industrial revolutions directly as it did in history, and can only be passively beaten.
Although I feel sorry, but since the other party has already prepared for him, Lin Liu will certainly not refuse.
She looked at Guiling and said with a smile: "The people sent there didn't bring enough silk fabrics this time, so they only brought David and his family members back to Huaxia, but those talented people can only stay there temporarily, waiting Our next visit."
Guiling is still a little dazed now, and has not recovered from the stupidity and selfishness of those royal nobles overseas.
Lin Liu didn't find it strange. After all, China's situation in modern times was also inseparable from the rulers at that time.
Cleverness and vision have always been difficult to achieve unity in the same person, and even if the two have reached unity in the same person, it is very likely to become a joke because of the selfishness of the ruler.
Those foreign kings are nothing more than repeating the deeds of those emperors in modern China.
Guiling was stunned for a long time before asking: "What does sister want me to do?"
Lin Liu laughed: "It's not what I want you to do, but whether you want to do it or not. I'm sure I can't let go of the talents those people prepared for me. After all, there are very few people like David and the others. , can bring back one, we earned it, not to mention there are so many now?"
People have packed the presents and put them at your door, you just need to open the door and get the presents back, why refuse?
"I just heard from Lu Sui that Jia Qiang came back recently. He has rich experience, and I am relieved to entrust this task to him." Lin Liu looked at Guiling, "I think this is a good opportunity for you. Taking this opportunity to go overseas for a while, I can do things with peace of mind when I come back.”
Guiling smiled instantly and rolled his eyes, nodded and said: "Then thank you sister."
Lin Liu also laughed, and after laughing, he remembered something, turned around and took a thick book from the shelf, and handed it directly to Gui Ling: "This is what David and the others have studied with great concentration over the years. In the future, our country will definitely There will be earth-shaking changes, and the role played by this knowledge is almost irreplaceable, and you should not forget to learn the above knowledge during your overseas travels.”
The women's school is about to add a subject called science, and the imperial examination will add science-related questions, Gui Ling has already known from the residence newspaper.
So he also knew that Lin Liu gave this book to him for his own good.
He nodded solemnly: "Sister, don't worry, my brother will definitely live up to your expectations."
The two siblings looked at each other and smiled, and the strangers from many years ago completely disappeared without a trace in this smile.
Not only the Lin family, but also all the military and military officials in the court and Chinese are concerned about the big event of Guiling's return.
As Lin Liu's fiancé, Ji Song couldn't possibly be ignorant.
He specially took the time to meet with Guiling, the two had a good relationship, naturally they had a very happy conversation.
But Ji Song was a little puzzled: "Guiling has just returned to the capital, why did you arrange for him to go overseas again? He can get married at his current age, right? Isn't it a waste of time to go here for at least a year? "
Lin Liu laughed: "No way, I just discovered that Guiling likes to visit mountains and rivers. Based on his previous achievements, if we don't take this opportunity to let him go out for a walk, after he officially takes office, I'm afraid it will be rare for him to leave the capital for the rest of his life. "
"As for his marriage..." Lin Liu sighed, "I mentioned it to my father before, so that they don't have to worry about me, and they can start arranging for him when Guiling is old enough to marry him. It was Guiling who refused, and he said he wanted to." You have to wait until your mother is filial before thinking about your own marriage."
Although according to the rules, Jia Min, who is already a mother, does not need to keep mourning for Jia's mother for another three years, but she is sincere and filial, and she must keep mourning for Jia's mother for three years. Naturally, Lin Ruhai and others can't force it.
Only in this way, Guiling's marriage can only be put on hold temporarily.
Fortunately, Guiling doesn't have that kind of thought for the time being, and men are never afraid of getting married late, so it doesn't have much impact.
But Lin Liu is very suspicious that Gui Ling was psychologically shadowed by her two previous fiancées——
After she ascended the throne, she said that she had "recognized her ancestors and returned to her clan", and then she mentioned to Lin Ruhai that the marriages of her younger brothers and sisters could be arranged, regardless of whether she was married or not.
But Guiling's reason at the time was that he wanted to wait until Lin Liu got married before thinking about marriage.
Lin Liu: "...???"
Although she felt that Guiling didn't care about the marriage, Lin Liu didn't think it was a big deal, and she never urged her to get married.
Unexpectedly, Ji Song was more worried than she was.
Ji Song smiled: "I'm not urging him to get married, but seeing Guiling today, I feel that his speech and behavior have a sense of sophistication and stability, which makes it impossible for people to connect with his previous appearance. I have Sometimes I feel that he should already be the father of a child, that's why I asked about it. If he has no idea, there is no need to urge him to get married. Anyway, when I look at the younger brothers and sisters of the Lin family, they are all obsessed with it. Work, no one is in a hurry about marriage."
Lin Liu couldn't help laughing, it was true.
Guiling doesn't want to get married;
The twins have no intention of getting married at all. The two of them are writing stories and doing business happily. Maybe they never thought that they have reached the age where they can see each other's marriage;
Daiyu herself has no idea, and the family also wants to stay for a few more years, I'm afraid there is no possibility of getting married in the next few years;
As for Maoshou, seeing how obsessed he is with R&D, would he be interested in marrying a wife and having children?
Lin Liu felt helpless after picking up his younger brothers and sisters.
But when it comes to getting married and having kids...
Lin Liu turned to look at Ji Song: "How many children do you want?"
Ji Song was stunned: "How many children do you want? How many more do you plan to have? One is enough, right? Having a child is a journey outside the gate of hell, and one child is enough."
Lin Liu looked at Ji Song and said in silence for a while, "But for the first child, I will only have daughters."
Ji Song knew that Lin Liu could make people pregnant, and even specify the sex of the child.
When Lin Liu said this, it meant that she was planning to do so.
"If you want to have a son to carry on the family line," Lin Liu frowned, "I can..."
Ji Song interrupted Lin Liu and looked at her seriously: "Why do you want to have a son? Isn't it enough to have a daughter as the heir?"
Lin Liu looked at Ji Song in surprise: "I thought you would want a son."
Ji Song laughed, and looked at Lin Liu seriously: "Before you ascended the throne, I really thought about it, I hope our first child can be a son, so that you don't have to get pregnant again in the future. But after you ascended the throne, I will Already accepted the fact that you will most likely only have one daughter."
After hesitating, he stretched out his arms to hug Lin Liu, and said a little aggrieved, "Otherwise, why do you think I reacted so strongly after knowing your intention to become emperor?"
Of course, it was because Ji Song had already thought of all the situations he might encounter after Lin Liu became emperor.
Among them, of course, is the issue of offspring.
Lin Liu looked down at the Guozijian Jijiu: "Aiqing is talking about it, why not?"
Guozijian sacrificial wine replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you can't favor one person over another. Since you are going to add a course for women's studies, how can you fall into the Guozijian? Don't the students of the Guozijian not be the disciples of the emperor?"
Lin Liu raised her eyebrows, this old man...
Is this because you want to sing a double reed with yourself?
She smiled and said: "I didn't say that just now, I just don't force Guozijian to open such a brand new course, but if Guozijian Jijiu is willing to offer such a course to Guozijian students, I will be very happy!"
Guozijian Jijiu immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I implore the emperor to allow Guozijian Jijiu to offer relevant courses."
Lin Liu looked at the Guozijian offering wine, and nodded after a long time: "Yes!"
After the Guozijian sacrificial wine was withdrawn, the other officials were temporarily speechless, and no one stood up to answer for a long time.
Lin Liu didn't expect that after Guozijian's sacrificial wine answered, the effect would be so good.
She looked around for a week and said, "If you have no other opinions, today..."
"Sir, I have a different opinion."
Lin Liu glanced at him, he was an official of the Imperial Academy, and his beard had turned white.
She immediately sat up straight and looked down at the other party: "Speak."
The old Hanlin replied tremblingly: "My minister, I feel that it is not appropriate for the emperor to rashly add the knowledge passed down from overseas to the imperial examination. I am a big country in China, and all the books handed down are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors. It will be regarded as the content of the imperial examination. However, overseas knowledge is just a knowledge that a group of foreigners have just made. It has not passed the test of time. I don’t know whether it is beneficial to the country or the people. Join the imperial examination?"
Lin Liu glanced at the other party. Seeing the other party's age, he didn't utter any bad words. He just said, "Zhao Hanlin didn't even read those books, just because they learned when you were still alive. , instead of arbitrarily arbitrarily arguing that those learnings are not worth learning before you were born? According to your statement, when the sages of Confucius and Mencius first wrote the Analects of Confucius and other articles, wouldn’t they be despised by others instead of Honored?"
The old Hanlin was dumb, but he didn't want to admit defeat, so he still bite the bullet and said: "But your majesty, Anxie is all learning from overseas barbarians, how can it be compared with Huaxia?"
Lin Liu frowned and thought about her words, worried that she would speak too harshly and anger the old Hanlin.
Lin Ruhai stood up directly: "Zhao Hanlin's words are wrong. Confucius once said that three people must have my teacher. If this is the case, are you just simply and rudely treating it as the principle of doing things between people? The same applies between countries."
"I have seen with my own eyes the studies made by those gentlemen who came from overseas. Although they are different from the articles we are studying today, they are all about astronomy, geography, and physics. But it is not an exaggeration to say that they are really detailed. After reading it, people suddenly understand. It will definitely give birth to a clearer understanding of the world.”
"After reading it, the old man also hated that he was getting older and didn't have the energy to study hard when he was young, otherwise he would have to worship them as teachers so that he could learn a lot. Now His Majesty is willing to pass this knowledge on to his children Learning is due to His Majesty's kindness, if Zhao Hanlin doesn't want his own children to learn, no one will force him."
"Zhao Hanlin, don't worry, we have discussed it with the emperor, because considering that many candidates have studied hard for more than ten years, Xu is unable to accept new knowledge for the time being, so we propose to separate it from the assessment of knowledge such as the Four Books and Five Classics, and list it as a separate category. door exam."
Ji Song chimed in: "If Zhao Hanlin is worried that not learning the relevant knowledge will affect the performance of the imperial examination, there is no need for it. The emperor said that although the proportion of relevant knowledge assessment in the examination paper will increase year by year, all questions belong to the The additional questions will only affect the distribution of official positions after becoming an official in the court, and will not affect the ranking of candidates."
"After the two exams are separated, candidates can choose to take both, but they can also take the same exam as before, and only take one of the Four Books and Five Classics. The two exams are ranked separately, and the number of admissions for the Four Books and Five Classics is also the same as before. The other exam Candidates will not occupy the number of candidates in traditional imperial examinations."
Having said that, I understand everything that should be understood——
Although the emperor intends to vigorously promote the knowledge studied by overseas foreigners, he does not force everyone to learn.If you think that knowledge is not on the table, it is not as good as the Four Books and Five Classics, and it goes all the way to the black, anyway, it will not affect the normal imperial examination admissions.
Although everyone knows that there must be tricks behind it——
If there is no trick, how could the emperor force female students to waste the time of the imperial examination for no reason to learn the knowledge from overseas?
But the emperor has already talked about this point, even if other people guess it, it is difficult to speak again.
What's more, Lin Liu didn't intend to let them speak again.
After Lin Ruhai and Ji Song finished talking, Lin Liu said with a smile: "There are other details, which are recorded very clearly in the mansion newspaper. If you have any doubts, after you go home and read the mansion newspaper, you can discuss it at the next court meeting." That’s what I said above. Don’t worry, I will never do such things as forcing others, let alone learning such things.”
Anyway, it's still early, there is no sign of the first industrial revolution in Europe, and China's development can also take its time, there is no need to worry at all.
Civil and military officials: "..."
Before you say this, can you take back the order to force the female school to offer a course?
Lin Liu smiled, and turned to look at Bichun next to her: "If there's something to play, if there's nothing to go back to—"
……
At the end of the court meeting, all civil and military officials received the report from Lin Liu's mouth.
None of the officials dared to ignore this mansion report. After mastering the Dao hand, it was like studying a classic, and they studied everything related to the imperial examination word for word.
The above content is actually not much different from what Lin Ruhai and Ji Song said, but the wording above is more tolerant than what the two said, and it really brought the phrase "you love to learn or not to learn" to the extreme.
Even the civil and military officials still have a vague feeling that the current emperor wants to persuade them not to learn these new knowledge.
Civil and military officials: "..."
Then most of them all came to the same conclusion——
The emperor must want to make big moves, and these moves must be related to the new knowledge from overseas.
Those who are smart, make up their minds in an instant, after the emperor organizes the articles of those foreigners into books and starts selling them, they must buy them back as soon as possible, not only to learn by themselves, but also to let the children at home learn!
Those who are smart but like to look forward and backward think that they will make their own decisions after they know what the emperor wants to do in the future.
Among the civil and military officials, there are still a few who are too stupid to see through the mansion report.
And among those officials who understand it, those who are so stubborn that they know that the emperor will use the knowledge of those foreigners to make big moves in the future, but still don't want their children to learn, are even more...
not even one.
People are not stupid, knowing that the emperor valued this, but still bit the bullet and confronted the emperor.
Although Lin Liu said that he would not force it, as long as there is a chance, who would want to stay where he is and be left behind by others?
It's fine for them themselves, not for children!
Lin Liu's original intention of doing this is to let the female students take the lead, so that when the steam car starts to be put into use, when it starts to change everyone's living habits, and starts to change the whole world, they can rely on this step Take the lead and occupy a more favorable position.
But I didn't expect that I had said what I said. Among the group of people who should have opposed it desperately, they all did the opposite, and began to pay attention to and look forward to the release of that book.
Lin Liu: "..."
This is probably the true portrayal of the saying "It's best not to get it"?
Lin Liu was a little hesitant, should he change the method and use coercive means to force everyone to learn scientific knowledge?In this way, maybe they won't take this scientific knowledge in their eyes?
But that's what she thought.
Although she wanted to improve the status of women, she did not want to suppress men.If enough signals are given, they are still stubborn and unwilling to accept it, and it is their own fault that they are finally thrown away, but if they accept it, and you still try to suppress them, then it is completely unnecessary.
After knowing the choice of civil and military officials, Lin Liu immediately put this matter behind her, and began to watch closely the group of people from the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Academy to compile a science textbook from simple to deep.
This process still takes some time. For the sake of the quality of the teaching materials, Lin Liu will not urge these officials of the Imperial Academy.
However, during this period, Lin Liu also took time to pay attention to the hospital examination.
The group of girls who passed the Tongsheng exam gave up the college exam this time after careful consideration based on their own circumstances.
But this does not mean that there will be no other female candidates in this college examination.
Although there are fewer candidates from women's studies, the number of female candidates for this college examination has returned to the previous level, only a dozen or so, but these dozen female candidates are surprisingly impressive. , almost every candidate's ranking is in the front row.
But this news will no longer attract the attention of the people in the capital——
Because everyone is accustomed to the excellence of the female candidates.
……
After the college examination was over, Sheng Man approached Lin Liu to resign.
She is now serving as an imperial envoy, and she is about to go to various parts of the country to inspect the local environment, and needs to build three girls' schools in each prefecture.
It has been a long time since the master and apprentice have spoken alone, and now that they are in the same room, they feel much more relaxed.
The two put aside their identities as monarchs and ministers, and chatted about their respective lives.
Sheng Man thought of Lin Liu's age, and said with a smile: "Your current age, that is, the stinky and hard-tempered old man of the Ministry of Rites is standing in front of you, otherwise the civil and military officials would have started urging you to give birth to an heir. But even if there is a Minister of Rites standing in front of you, when you get married, all civil and military officials will start to be born."
There is a difference between men and women, even if Lin Ruhai and Ji Song are interested, it is not good to talk about this topic directly with Lin Liu.
Jia Min kept his filial piety recently, so naturally he couldn't enter the palace to talk to Lin Liu, so Sheng Man was the first one to talk about this topic with Lin Liu.
Lin Liu smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with being pregnant and having a baby. If you pay more attention, there won't be any big problems."
At her current age, as long as she is well cared for during pregnancy, the chance of encountering danger is still very low.She also has supernatural powers, not to mention other things, at least her body is definitely better than ordinary people.
Coupled with what Yiseng said before, about the longevity tablet, Lin Liu has never worried about giving birth.
Moreover, she will not live forever.
It would be good to have at most two, and she even thought that if she gave birth, the first one would definitely have a daughter.Now the daughter also has the right to inherit, and it also prevents a group of officials from chattering about the heir.
As for whether the second child will be born, whether to have a son or a daughter, it must be discussed with Ji Song.
Seeing that she has a plan, Sheng Man couldn't help laughing: "It's good that you are like this, I thought that you have never been married, because you have resistance to getting married and have children, or you have no ideas, but now it seems that I think too much. "
Lin Liu laughed: "What's wrong with getting married and having children? When you meet the right person, you get married. If you don't, you don't get married. If you don't meet someone, you get divorced. If the other person is good, you can live a good life. As long as you don't be affected by foreign things How can you live a good life without your own judgment of your own heart.”
Sheng Man was stunned for a while, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
When Lin Liu met, thinking of the other party's experience, she couldn't help persuading: "Sir, you are not particularly old. If you meet the right person, there is actually no need for Yi to be single forever."
Sheng Man waved her hand: "I'm already half buried in the ground, so where do I still have those messy thoughts? I just thought of my child who was born in time. If he can be born safely, I'm afraid the child will be several years old now."
Lin Liu looked at Sheng Man with some worry, but saw that although there was regret in her eyes, there was not much sadness left, so she was relieved.
Sheng Man has already come out.
After Lin Liu realized this, for some reason, it felt like a heavy stone had been removed from her heart, and she felt much more relaxed.
——May those women who have endured suffering bid farewell to the past like Sheng Man.
Sheng Man met Lin Liu's eyes and smiled: "You don't want this kind of expression, let me tell you a good thing to make you happy?"
As she spoke, Sheng Man mentioned her ex-husband's family.
"After you came to the throne, you directly dismissed my ex-husband's father from his official position, and ransacked their house. The family didn't know what to think. They thought that you did this because of me, so they were frightened by the ransacking of the house, and took it with them overnight. The luggage fled back home."
Although she has reconciled with the past, Sheng Man must be happy to hear that the family is not doing well——
After all, the pain I suffered back then will not disappear in thin air.
"Because the situation was chaotic at the time, and his hometown was relatively remote, so they lived pretty well there after returning to their hometown. But they didn't expect them to kill themselves. Didn't you smash the chastity archway of the Ke family shortly after you became the throne? At that time Many people got wind of it and became extremely wary of the existence of the Chastity Archway."
"After you promulgated the imperial decree, directly saying that people who have a chastity archway at home will not be allowed to take the imperial examination, many people have become secretive about the existence of the chastity archway. Except for a few stubborn old people who are still proud of the chastity archway, most people They all smashed their chastity archways."
"But my ex-husband's hometown is very remote, isn't the news not circulating? They have no one to be an official, they are just an ordinary and relatively wealthy family, so they didn't get the news at all."
"My ex-husband had a concubine brother who was always weak and sick because he was treated too much by his aunt when he was a child. When my ex-husband's father was dismissed from office and fled back to his hometown with all his family overnight, he was frightened and ran all the way. Finally, his illness disappeared. They didn't know what they were thinking, but after going back to their hometown to hold the funeral for that concubine, they were worried that the news from the capital would reach their hometown, so they planned ahead and wanted to build a chastity archway, so that their reputation would be better."
"Then, the widow of the bastard committed suicide."
To be honest, according to the ancient customs of blind marriage and dumb marriage, it is a very rare thing for a husband and wife to have a relationship, and it is even more impossible for a couple to have such a deep relationship that they are willing to die for love after the death of their husband.
But this kind of thing happened repeatedly, and no one doubted its authenticity.
"Unfortunately, after his concubine's widow died in love, his family handed over the report to the local government to apply for the chastity arch, and sent it to the local government's table together with your imperial decree. That official is also a dare to think and do, Immediately decided to set my ex-husband’s family as an example, without saying anything, and directly brought the government’s yamen to investigate.”
"Because it was too sudden, they failed to destroy the evidence in time, so they killed the concubine and the widow, and their conspiracy to build a chastity archway was exposed in broad daylight. My ex-husband's parents were directly arrested as the mastermind Beheaded for murder, and the others have a bad reputation in the local area, and they are struggling in the local area."
Lin Liu was also a little surprised when he heard this.
It can only be said that the law of heaven is reincarnated, and the retribution is not good.The whole family wanted to take a shortcut, and finally fell directly on it.
After Sheng Man finished talking about it, she sighed slightly: "It's just a pity for the bastard's wife. Although she has a bad personality, she has confronted me before, but in the end the crime is not worthy of death..."
Fortunately, the chastity archway has been destroyed, otherwise, even if the local officials want to look good for their political achievements, even if they know that there is something wrong behind this matter, they will not strictly investigate it.
Lin Liu nodded: "That family really deserved it!"
The two talked for a while, Sheng Man took a look at the sky, and said goodbye directly: "We will bid farewell today, maybe it will be several years before we see each other again, you must remember to take care of your health."
Lin Liu stepped forward and hugged Sheng Man: "Sir, safe journey, take care!"
On the second day after Sheng Man left the palace, she left the capital with her luggage and her officials, and went directly to the nearby prefectural city to investigate the local situation.
Her task is quite heavy, after all, what Lin Liu said at the beginning was to open at least three girls' schools in every prefecture.
But Shengman is as sweet as a cane.
……
Sheng Man left, but Guiling finally returned to the capital.
Before leaving the capital, Guiling was still a fair-skinned and handsome young man, but now that he came back, he was still a mature young man with a wheat complexion.
After a day of recuperating at home, Gui Ling went directly to the palace to see Lin Liu.
Lin Liu looked at Guiling's familiar yet unfamiliar face, and beckoned at him: "Guiling, come here quickly so I can take a good look at it?"
Gui Ling paused, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when she met Shang Linliu's familiar eyes.
Then, he walked directly in front of Lin Liu: "My sister is well, the emperor is well!"
Lin Liu laughed: "You brat!"
Guiling smiled, as if he had just regained the feeling he had when he was with Lin Liu: "Sister, potatoes and sweet potatoes have been successfully promoted to all parts of the country, and the food and clothing problems of ordinary people everywhere have been solved. My brother has lived up to expectations."
Lin Liu smiled and patted his shoulder: "You did a very good job."
The two hugged each other, and Guiling sat next to him, and then the two began to talk about their lives in these years apart.
As the emperor, Lin Liu was watched in every aspect, even though Gui Ling was far away in other places, he got a lot of news about Lin Liu through newspapers.Although it cannot be said that Gui Ling knew Lin Liu's life well this year, but he also knew a lot.
On the contrary, Guiling is far away from home, even if the communication has never been cut off, the capital does not know enough about his experiences abroad these years.
Therefore, most of the conversations between the two siblings consisted of Lin Liu asking questions and Gui Ling answering.
He has a good eloquence, and many ordinary things will become interesting in the end through Gui Ling's mouth.The most interesting of these are the customs and scenic spots of various places.
Guiling really likes to run around, so those originally unremarkable scenery from his mouth are also full of yearning attraction.
Lin Liu was very happy at first, but after listening to it, she became a little sad: "Guiling, don't you want to be an official?"
Guiling was stunned, and the words that had slipped to his lips were swallowed back.
He looked at Lin Liu in surprise: "Why did my sister say that? Could it be that I didn't complete the task well this time?"
Guiling blankly recalled what he had seen and heard along the way. Although he also encountered some minor problems, they were all resolved safely. The characters who promoted potatoes and sweet potatoes also completed very smoothly, right?
Lin Liu looked at Guiling, and sighed slightly: "I just heard you talk about what you have seen and heard from various places, and suddenly I feel that you are most interested in those customs and customs."
People like Guiling, if they lived in modern times, would also dream of traveling around the world, right?
"So it's this." Guiling laughed.
He tilted his head and thought about his words before he spoke, "My sister knows that the road of my life has been paved by my father since I was born. It's not difficult. I just need to follow my father's guidance and keep going forward." gone."
"I think that many people should envy my life, because it is smooth and the future is bright."
Lin Liu subconsciously held her breath and concentrated, worrying that Guiling would directly say "but".
Gui Ling smiled: "When I used to look at the Year of the Crane, the Year of the Deer, and the Year of the Cat, I was actually a little envious, especially knowing that they all had their own interests and hobbies early on, and they could spend a lifetime I even feel a little jealous when I spend it on it."
All brothers can spend this life according to their own ideas, only he can't.
Guiling was not very old at the time, let alone experienced too much, so he naturally began to doubt, and felt conflicted about the responsibilities and burdens that were inherent in him.
"However," Gui Ling looked at Lin Liu and said with a smile, "I am very grateful to my sister for entrusting the task of promoting potatoes and sweet potatoes to my younger brother. It was only during this task that I discovered that what I like is not to be as indulgent as celebrities. Shanshui, but let this great river and mountain be peaceful and healthy, and the scenery remains the same.”
He raised his head and looked at Lin Liu seriously, "Compared to visiting the mountains and rivers, my younger brother hopes that the people living in the mountains and rivers can spend their lives in peace."
Lin Liu was stunned, and then laughed after a long time: "I didn't expect you to go out and find your true ideal. But if your ideal is this, I'm afraid you won't have many opportunities to go out in the future."
Guiling smiled and shook his head: "My brother has traveled all over the rivers and mountains this time, and has seen thousands of mountains and rivers. Even if he can't leave the capital for the rest of his life, he will have no regrets in this life."
"Really?" Lin Liu held back his anger, "Although you have seen all the great rivers and mountains of our country, are you sure you have no interest in overseas scenery?"
Guiling was stunned: "Overseas?"
Lin Liu nodded: "I just got the news that the big ship sent to pick up David and his family members arrived safely and brought them back. Maybe it won't be long before they will come to the capital to meet with David." Waiting for people to reunite."
Because the correspondence has never been broken, Guiling is no stranger to the name David.
He looked at Lin Liu: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Lin Liu glanced at Guiling, and covered her forehead speechlessly: "Of course this is a good thing. It's just that they came back with them, and there is another piece of news."
"what news?"
"The royal families and nobles in those countries in Europe love Lin Shenjian deer's silk fabrics deeply. Lin Shenjian deer's silk fabrics are very popular and highly sought after, almost becoming a must-have for those royal families and nobles. will be ridiculed by others."
Gui Ling was stunned: "Although Lin Shenjian's silk fabrics are exquisite and gorgeous and highly sought after, they are just cloth, so it's not like..."
It suddenly occurred to him that when you, Lin Shenjianlu, were the most popular, Lu Sui used Lin Shenjianlu's silk fabrics, jewelry and rouge to trade with the wives and daughters of some officials, and successfully exchanged the grain in the government granary Mostly true.
Guiling: "..."
It's incomprehensible, but it does seem possible.
Lin Liu has a deeper understanding of this——
After all, in modern times, not only have people lined up in front of the store overnight with a tent in order to buy a fruit phone, but there has even been a ridiculous incident of cutting off one of their own kidneys to sell in order to save money for a fruit phone.
It is not surprising that the royal family and nobles are crazy about Lin Shenjianlu's silk fabrics.
Gui Ling looked at Lin Liu: "And then?"
Lin Liu said helplessly and amusedly: "Then, in order to get more silk fabrics, those royal nobles found out that I was interested in the scientists of their country, so they started to hunt down the scientists and arrested them, waiting for us to take them with us. Lin Shen sees deer's silk fabric as a substitute."
Guiling blinked, and he was a little confused: "Sister, you mean that in order to get some silk fabrics, those royal nobles sent talents from their own country to our country with a clearly marked price? My sister attaches great importance to those people, and is willing to take so much?" If we exchange more silk fabrics with them, can no one see the true value of them?"
"Someone must have seen it," Lin Liu smiled, "But although European countries often marry each other, they are still enemies in essence, and the frequency of wars is definitely not infrequent."
Even if someone sees the benefits of those people, who is willing to remind their enemies and let the enemy's power grow stronger?
They can't even ask the enemy for talents, for fear of attracting the attention of the other party.
Compared with the enemies around us who may break out at any time, it is obviously more beneficial for those talents to be sent overseas, just to travel for a few months or even more than half a year.
Therefore, except for a small number of talents who were hidden for research, scientists in the whole of Europe were almost directly copied, and the only difference was the fern roots.
Lin Liu: "..." This was really not her intention!
At most, she just thinks about poaching some of the talents in Europe to develop China's national strength, so that China will not miss the two industrial revolutions directly as it did in history, and can only be passively beaten.
Although I feel sorry, but since the other party has already prepared for him, Lin Liu will certainly not refuse.
She looked at Guiling and said with a smile: "The people sent there didn't bring enough silk fabrics this time, so they only brought David and his family members back to Huaxia, but those talented people can only stay there temporarily, waiting Our next visit."
Guiling is still a little dazed now, and has not recovered from the stupidity and selfishness of those royal nobles overseas.
Lin Liu didn't find it strange. After all, China's situation in modern times was also inseparable from the rulers at that time.
Cleverness and vision have always been difficult to achieve unity in the same person, and even if the two have reached unity in the same person, it is very likely to become a joke because of the selfishness of the ruler.
Those foreign kings are nothing more than repeating the deeds of those emperors in modern China.
Guiling was stunned for a long time before asking: "What does sister want me to do?"
Lin Liu laughed: "It's not what I want you to do, but whether you want to do it or not. I'm sure I can't let go of the talents those people prepared for me. After all, there are very few people like David and the others. , can bring back one, we earned it, not to mention there are so many now?"
People have packed the presents and put them at your door, you just need to open the door and get the presents back, why refuse?
"I just heard from Lu Sui that Jia Qiang came back recently. He has rich experience, and I am relieved to entrust this task to him." Lin Liu looked at Guiling, "I think this is a good opportunity for you. Taking this opportunity to go overseas for a while, I can do things with peace of mind when I come back.”
Guiling smiled instantly and rolled his eyes, nodded and said: "Then thank you sister."
Lin Liu also laughed, and after laughing, he remembered something, turned around and took a thick book from the shelf, and handed it directly to Gui Ling: "This is what David and the others have studied with great concentration over the years. In the future, our country will definitely There will be earth-shaking changes, and the role played by this knowledge is almost irreplaceable, and you should not forget to learn the above knowledge during your overseas travels.”
The women's school is about to add a subject called science, and the imperial examination will add science-related questions, Gui Ling has already known from the residence newspaper.
So he also knew that Lin Liu gave this book to him for his own good.
He nodded solemnly: "Sister, don't worry, my brother will definitely live up to your expectations."
The two siblings looked at each other and smiled, and the strangers from many years ago completely disappeared without a trace in this smile.
Not only the Lin family, but also all the military and military officials in the court and Chinese are concerned about the big event of Guiling's return.
As Lin Liu's fiancé, Ji Song couldn't possibly be ignorant.
He specially took the time to meet with Guiling, the two had a good relationship, naturally they had a very happy conversation.
But Ji Song was a little puzzled: "Guiling has just returned to the capital, why did you arrange for him to go overseas again? He can get married at his current age, right? Isn't it a waste of time to go here for at least a year? "
Lin Liu laughed: "No way, I just discovered that Guiling likes to visit mountains and rivers. Based on his previous achievements, if we don't take this opportunity to let him go out for a walk, after he officially takes office, I'm afraid it will be rare for him to leave the capital for the rest of his life. "
"As for his marriage..." Lin Liu sighed, "I mentioned it to my father before, so that they don't have to worry about me, and they can start arranging for him when Guiling is old enough to marry him. It was Guiling who refused, and he said he wanted to." You have to wait until your mother is filial before thinking about your own marriage."
Although according to the rules, Jia Min, who is already a mother, does not need to keep mourning for Jia's mother for another three years, but she is sincere and filial, and she must keep mourning for Jia's mother for three years. Naturally, Lin Ruhai and others can't force it.
Only in this way, Guiling's marriage can only be put on hold temporarily.
Fortunately, Guiling doesn't have that kind of thought for the time being, and men are never afraid of getting married late, so it doesn't have much impact.
But Lin Liu is very suspicious that Gui Ling was psychologically shadowed by her two previous fiancées——
After she ascended the throne, she said that she had "recognized her ancestors and returned to her clan", and then she mentioned to Lin Ruhai that the marriages of her younger brothers and sisters could be arranged, regardless of whether she was married or not.
But Guiling's reason at the time was that he wanted to wait until Lin Liu got married before thinking about marriage.
Lin Liu: "...???"
Although she felt that Guiling didn't care about the marriage, Lin Liu didn't think it was a big deal, and she never urged her to get married.
Unexpectedly, Ji Song was more worried than she was.
Ji Song smiled: "I'm not urging him to get married, but seeing Guiling today, I feel that his speech and behavior have a sense of sophistication and stability, which makes it impossible for people to connect with his previous appearance. I have Sometimes I feel that he should already be the father of a child, that's why I asked about it. If he has no idea, there is no need to urge him to get married. Anyway, when I look at the younger brothers and sisters of the Lin family, they are all obsessed with it. Work, no one is in a hurry about marriage."
Lin Liu couldn't help laughing, it was true.
Guiling doesn't want to get married;
The twins have no intention of getting married at all. The two of them are writing stories and doing business happily. Maybe they never thought that they have reached the age where they can see each other's marriage;
Daiyu herself has no idea, and the family also wants to stay for a few more years, I'm afraid there is no possibility of getting married in the next few years;
As for Maoshou, seeing how obsessed he is with R&D, would he be interested in marrying a wife and having children?
Lin Liu felt helpless after picking up his younger brothers and sisters.
But when it comes to getting married and having kids...
Lin Liu turned to look at Ji Song: "How many children do you want?"
Ji Song was stunned: "How many children do you want? How many more do you plan to have? One is enough, right? Having a child is a journey outside the gate of hell, and one child is enough."
Lin Liu looked at Ji Song and said in silence for a while, "But for the first child, I will only have daughters."
Ji Song knew that Lin Liu could make people pregnant, and even specify the sex of the child.
When Lin Liu said this, it meant that she was planning to do so.
"If you want to have a son to carry on the family line," Lin Liu frowned, "I can..."
Ji Song interrupted Lin Liu and looked at her seriously: "Why do you want to have a son? Isn't it enough to have a daughter as the heir?"
Lin Liu looked at Ji Song in surprise: "I thought you would want a son."
Ji Song laughed, and looked at Lin Liu seriously: "Before you ascended the throne, I really thought about it, I hope our first child can be a son, so that you don't have to get pregnant again in the future. But after you ascended the throne, I will Already accepted the fact that you will most likely only have one daughter."
After hesitating, he stretched out his arms to hug Lin Liu, and said a little aggrieved, "Otherwise, why do you think I reacted so strongly after knowing your intention to become emperor?"
Of course, it was because Ji Song had already thought of all the situations he might encounter after Lin Liu became emperor.
Among them, of course, is the issue of offspring.
