Wife's Observation Log

Xie Zhen casually untied the hairpin, took the net towel, loosened the slack belt, and leaned crookedly against the handle. It was her relaxed posture when she was extremely tired in private. She paused for a long time, and Lan Wei had time to relax. Withdrawing from the thoughts that followed Xie Zhen's words, he realized that the fire in the tent was too hot, and he didn't even realize that his temples were dripping with sweat.

"If we only rely on the two roads of scholars and merchants to let go of the opportunity for women to gain fame and fortune, let alone the few who can make it to the end, who will pave the way for them at the beginning? Only rely on a government decree After a hundred years, men will definitely fight back, and the oppression will only get worse, but let it happen, the father is not willing to bet on his daughter's success with his family fortune like offering his son, and the husband is even less willing to show his wife to give birth to a big fat boy for him. The time to take care of the family. Without this initial fee, women have no way to leave home to earn a living. Moreover, if the court can’t provide money, they can only make each household rich by themselves, so that they have spare money. Only in this way can the imperial court be encouraged instead of doing useless work." Xie Zhen's thinking is so clear that it does not seem to be the result of a short period of time, "In addition, after women are allowed to engage in business, the labor force in farming will be reduced, so what about the food? So the top priority, It is to develop...work first."

When Xie Zhen said the end, he was a little hesitant to say the words. Lan Wei knew what she was thinking. Since Zhou, except that the farming tools have become harder and more complete, there has been little development.But Lan Wei knows that the changes before and after the first industrial revolution in Europe are earth-shaking. If Yan Chao can really grasp the light, it may not be impossible to achieve the effect Xie Zhen wants within a few decades, thereby promoting the improvement of women's status.

But Xie Zhen had never seen or heard of such a scenario, so when she was conceiving, she would be more worried that this plan was just empty talk.Standing at the highest point of a dynasty and the forefront of an era, even if she can see farther, she is just like a group of eagle eyes in myopic eyes. No one can keep up with her vision and share her responsibilities—in case Had she really seen a mirage?

So let a dynasty rush towards the mirage, but when it finally arrives, there are only yellow sands waiting to die of thirst, she is a sinner through the ages.Almost every emperor will face such a choice. Some people succeed, some fail, and some prefer to poke their eyes and let it go. Xie Zhen is at the critical moment of making a decision.

Lan Wei couldn't help but push her. She had already squeezed the memory of the first industrial revolution from her mind to her mouth, but she changed her words: "There are a large number of folk geniuses, only scholars, farmers, businessmen, and workers. It’s not high, and it’s not as good as the business can get money, as long as this problem can be changed, why not succeed?”

She was still afraid that Xie Zhen would be jealous of her resurrection of the dead body, so she had to think of an excuse before she could say it, but Xie Zhen was too smart, once she exposed the modern hole, she would use thousands of lies to cover it up, and the final result would most likely be the same. The disguise was pierced by Xie Zhen.

But afraid of something, Xie Zhen suddenly looked straight at her: "Do you believe that there are people who transcend time in this world?"

"Beyond time? Immortality? I don't believe in alchemy..."

Xie Zhen rarely interrupted her, and couldn't wait to say: "People who come back from the future, maybe they have special tools or something, the key is that they will know the future development."

"Do you believe that such a person exists?" Lan Wei was a little excited when she saw this topic being mentioned, and became even more worried, "If there is, what will you do?"

"Let his memory turn into a boost for my progress in Yan Dynasty." Xie Zhen said, the first half of the sentence was sonorous and full of ambition, as if she had got rid of her old-fashioned and old-fashioned face and became a little passionate, but she calmed down in an instant , "It's just that this kind of person's origin is unknown and hard to guess. If he happens to be a Mongolian, he should be more careful."

Xie Zhen felt that he was emotional, so he walked up to Yishui who was still holding a water basin, and splashed the water on his face: "I'm confused, and it's not reliable to rely on foreign objects. I think we can build a water basin first." Tiangong Academy, under the pretext of compiling the Canon of Engineering and Technology, gathers skilled craftsmen of engineering to enjoy official salaries, and cooperates with the Imperial Academy to compile books."

Lan Wei decided to keep her mouth shut. After all, Xie Zhen's plan sounds more targeted and practical than what she thought of based on her later experience. Evaluate an academician or something.

Such a small episode on the road gave Xie Zhen a new idea, and he worked on it for a few days.Lan Wei took the place of Gui Yanliang and the others to give her details, but it was more like an audience, making Xie Zhen feel less lonely when making decisions.

What surprised Lan Wei the most was that Xie Zhen actually said that there was no need to worry about the money needed to build the Tiangongyuan, because the things she rushed back to do in June happened to save enough expenses for the Tiangongyuan. Even the land can be freed up, which makes Lan Wei wonder if she has already made a fortune.

In Anhui in mid-February, it was the time when heavy snow fell on the border. Xie Zhen had a brief conversation with Huang Chen, who was in charge of the military lectures, in front of the military camp. Then he entered the camp and stationed. I heard that she came to see her when she arrived. Compared with the last palace banquet, the 20-year-old Kang Wang has not changed much. Xie Zhen first opened his mouth about the happy event: "I heard that I have added a little nephew?"

Kang Wang should be, and said that his father asked him to come to Xie Zhen to name him. Of course, Xie Zhen expressed his honor, but he was not restrained. He pondered for a while and said: "For the generation of Mu Zi, there are only two children, and they will be the pillars of my Yan Dynasty in the future." , the crossbars on the roof are called beams, why not call them Xie Heng.”

"Thank you for giving me the name, I hope this kid will not disappoint my sister's expectations."

King Kang didn't bring up any other topics, so Xie Zhen only extended it to the pregnant woman: "I only feel sorry for Princess Kang, and she broke up with her husband just after giving birth. I should do more to comfort... The princess seems to have a southern taste. I will let them put my palace first. The cook who cooks Huaiyang cuisine here will be sent to your fief, and you have to worry about the rest."

Kang Wang and Xie Zhen went back and forth again, and then they left. Although Xie Zhen was about the same age as him, something happened to Guo Tianhui when Kang Wang was just sensible, and Xie Zhen was handed over to Song Lian to study day and night. Accompanied by Qin Wangshen.

So Kang Wang sat for a long time, and never questioned why Lan Wei had to stay by Xie Zhen's side all the time, because he was used to Xie Zhen having such a follower when he was a child, just like Lan Wei is not surprised by the silent person, Yishui often stays by his side. Stand by in the corner beside Xie Zhen.

For example, at this moment, as soon as Xie Zhen turned around, Yi Shui put on her clothes and fur clothes for her.She touched the neckline and felt that it was neat, and took two steps towards the door before asking Lan Wei: "I'm going to the school grounds, do you want to come?"

Lan Wei couldn't say no, when she arrived at the school grounds, there was no one there because of the snowy weather, Xie Zhen took a bow from a shelf on one side, and a Jin Yiwei sent in advance brought a quiver, and she put it on Arrow: "My pot throwing is okay, with some strength and some accuracy, so let's standardize the archery first, and save some effort, you help me watch."

Although Lan Wei is a general, he is not proficient in all the standard weapons, so in the end he found Huang Chen and arranged for an acquaintance who is good at shooting.Only half an hour later, Xie Zhen was able to hit the bull's-eye. She asked her colleagues to step back, looked at the dark sky due to the snow, and said to Lan Wei: "Well, if you hit the bull's-eye twenty times in a row , let’s finish today’s task, otherwise we won’t go to dinner.”

"Your Highness has just finished learning, isn't this condition too harsh? Besides, it's still snowing."

"It's precisely because of the harshness. If you set a small goal and you can achieve it with just hard work, how can you complete it within three months?" Xie Zhen smiled, holding the bow and arrow between his thumb and thenar, and then Pulling the arrow string with the thumb until it was full, the arrow was released easily and hit the bull's eye, "Besides, it is also interesting to have someone accompany me to skip meals."

It was only then that Lan Wei realized that Xie Zhen was referring to "we", but the result was the same if she was not allowed to sit. She had to pray for Xie Zhen not to shake her hands. After all, they arrived at the military camp at noon, and there was no lunch at all. How much to eat, and it's snowing, Lan Wei can bear it by herself, and she is afraid that Her Royal Highness will fall ill directly.

Today's arrows, Xie Zhenzhen practiced for a long time. Sometimes several arrows missed in a row, and sometimes it was a pity that ten arrows hit the bull's-eye, but because of a small deviation, he lost the meaning of his previous concentration.

The snow gradually stopped, but the sky became darker and more difficult to aim.Suddenly Xie Zhen stopped the repetitive movements and looked down at his right hand. Due to long-term practice, a bloodstain had been cut on the thumb that was pulling the string. The bowstring bit into the bloody mouth again, hurting deeper.

"I'm going to call the military doctor to treat the wound. Your Highness should not practice today."

Xie Zhen changed his gesture, pinched the nock of the arrow with his thumb and index finger, and then used the nock to pull the string until it reached the full arc. The white feather on the nock was stained with blood. Xie Zhen released the arrow, and the pinching method was as accurate as The strength was weaker than the Mongolian nocking method, and the arrow missed.Xie Zhen lowered his hand and said to Lan Wei: "If you don't practice, Lanlan will have nothing to eat. Can you wait a little longer?"

After several days, Xie Zhen finally called "Lan Lan" with a charming tone, which made Lan Wei feel that the two of them had returned to the relationship before the fire gun incident.Regardless of her status, Lan Wei really indulged in the unique side of Her Royal Highness that only she can enjoy.

She saw that Xie Zhen didn't frown too much when he was practicing arrows, and the focus in his eyes was mixed with a kind of joy for no reason, which made him appear more agile.

Lingdong should not be used to describe the most serious and serious princess in the eyes of the officials, but at this moment, she is like this.

Lan Wei was a little drunk.

Additional historical background:

Huang Chen: Historically, he married Zhu Yuanzhang's niece (because according to the evaluation, he seems to have a personality that is very suitable to be a son-in-law, so let Lao Xie also marry his niece), and then he took office earlier, which means that the Chinese government of the dynasty They are all in Fengyang, and the Yan Dynasty is in Lu'an. After all, Lao Xie and the original group of Anhui founding heroes must be fellow villagers, but at the same time, it is best not to be fellow villagers with Zhu Yuanzhang.
