Xie San, who had never entered the palace, was very excited. Their Xie family could only be regarded as a small family in the capital. Now only his second brother was admitted to the Jinshi family. Now he has become a county magistrate. His eldest brother has not married yet.
After all, their family didn't want to marry ordinary people, so they had to choose an aristocratic family.
However, the aristocratic families are more willing to marry a family of similar status to their own, which has created a situation where the top is not the best. There are only two generations in the family, and there is no third generation.
Although his brother also has a few girls, it is not good to have children before marrying a wife.
Especially now that there is a marriage law, if a wife has an illegitimate child after marriage, the wife can go to the official and ask for a divorce.
So now his brother doesn't even dare to touch the maids he hired in the early days, and he has become a monk.
Xie San is not the eldest son nor the second son, so he is not ready to get married, so that he does not have to bear the responsibility, and he does not have to be a monk before marriage.
At this time, there is no contraceptive method, and the best contraceptive method is to separate men and women.
But if Xie San doesn't want to get married, he doesn't have these troubles. He can talk to his confidantes. If the confidants who have children are willing to raise them, he has no opinion. If he doesn't want to, he can also take Xie San back.
The only problem is that he has just put forward his own ideas, and the confidantes are the first to retreat than the family.
After all, it's not difficult to marry someone now, and it's not difficult to marry a better family. If that's the case, why would you follow Xie San without a name
Xie San wasn't angry either, he felt that it all had to be about fate, and he couldn't force others to follow him.
Lin Yuan also found that the social atmosphere is much more open now. After the troubled times ended, he did not set up the crime of "adultery" again, and the crime of seven births was also abolished. There is no such thing as divorce, only divorce.
Originally, he thought that in terms of social development, after stabilization, people's requirements for female chastity would become higher.
In troubled times, people don't pay much attention to chastity, and nothing matters to life.
But probably because of the influence of recruiting children and so on, people didn't pay as much attention to chastity as Lin Yuan imagined.
Of course, aristocratic families and big families still care about these things, but the atmosphere among the common people is completely different.
This has led to many daughters from aristocratic families also starting to fight for their own power.
Although they now have the right to have a blind date, they can choose their future husbands within a range.
This kind of social atmosphere cannot be stipulated by law, and Lin Yuan can only let them go with the flow.
People's thinking has changed from: "A woman must have a perfect body before marriage, and a woman who loses her chastity is cast aside."
To: "It's best if you're perfect before you get married, but it doesn't matter if you're not."
More and more women go out to work, and the whole society is full of vigor. The idea of living a good life as long as you work hard has been engraved in everyone's mind.
However, there are already many impoverished areas in the country, and Lin Yuan also knows that in his lifetime, these impoverished areas may only go from extreme poverty to ordinary poverty, and he can only hope that his successor can continue his will.
There is good news for Guoer.
She is Lin Yuan's younger sister, and one of her children will inherit the throne.
These children will receive the same education in the palace, and when they become adults, they will be sent by Lin Yuan to various ministries to learn and practice.
In the end, who will be the successor will be decided based on their final grades and the support rate of officials in the court.
It was the first time that Lin Yuan had become emperor and the first time he had chosen a successor.
He wants to be within the scope of the supremacy of imperial power, so as not to decide his successor according to his own preferences.
After starting this, Lin Yuan can only guarantee that his successor will not be an idiot.
If the next successor is controlled by the courtier because of this method, it is not something he can control.
Anyway, a dynasty, there is always a time to run out of gas.
Long live, long live, long live, just a beautiful and arrogant wish.
By the time he died I don't know how many years, and it had nothing to do with him.
Xie San was led to Lin Yuan, still holding his overlord weapon in his arms. After seeing Lin Yuan, he hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
Courtiers only need to bow when they see the emperor, no need to kneel if there is no major event, and those without official status still need to bow when they see the emperor, especially Xie Sanlian is not a scholar.
Erliang took the Overlord Tool from Xie San.
Lin Yuan first asked Xie Sanping to give him the seat, and looked at the overlord himself.
To tell the truth, this thing is actually not very similar to the trebuchet, but it is not like a modern pistol, it is more like a wooden box, there is a groove at the back to put the small wooden ball, and you have to be careful about the angle, so that the small wooden ball will not fall again. Slip out of that hole.
There is also a small hole in the front from which the wooden ball pops out.
There should be springs.
Lin Yuan wanted to take a look at the wooden box.
"Your Majesty, take it apart from here." Xie San hurriedly went to demonstrate and took apart the wooden box.
Sure enough, there are indeed springs inside.
Lin Yuan picked up the spring and asked, "You did this?"
Xie San hurriedly said, "Caomin doesn't dare to take it alone. This was made by Caomin and a blacksmith named Li Liu."
Then he started gushing about how much time they spent, how many methods they tried, and how many materials they spent to make this seemingly inconspicuous little thing.
There was light in his eyes as he said it, and he was proud of the little thing.
Lin Yuan looked at him with encouragement in his eyes, and Xie San was a little overwhelmed. Xie San said so much, but Lin Yuan didn't find him annoying at all, and kept listening quietly.
Although this wooden box is useless, the invention of the spring alone is enough for Lin Yuan to hold him in his palm.
"Can you do it?" Lin Yuan asked, "Do more."
Xie San is confident: "As long as you do it once, you will definitely be able to do it a second time."
Lin Yuan: "Okay, I will give you money to build a spring factory, and you will be in charge of the factory in the future."
Then Lin Yuan also said: "And this overlord."
Lin Yuan drew the shape of a pistol on the rice paper: "What do you think of this shape?"
Xie San said quickly, "It's in good shape! It's easy to handle! It's just... too small."
His overlord can be as long as an adult man's fingertips to his wrist, so that he can stuff so many organs.
Lin Yuan added: "Use iron, or something else that you think is easy to use, stronger than wood, to make the mechanism smaller."
Xie San bit his lip. He knew the difficulty, but he finally got a chance to be reused by the emperor. He wouldn't give up whatever he said, so he knelt down and said, "The Caomin leads the way!"
Soon, Xie San took office and became the director of the spring factory. Although it was not an official position, it was the industry of the imperial court, and his status became the highest in the family. After all, his brother was a county magistrate in another place, but he He was the director of the factory in the imperial city, and he went to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. He also went to the palace to report his duties every month.
But Xie San didn't have time to be happy, because he still had to get up with the blacksmith to study how to turn His Majesty's ideas into reality.
The blacksmith Li Liu also benefited, and he became the deputy director of the spring factory.
"Your Majesty said, it's like a fire gun." The blacksmith's words awakened Xie San.
Xie San lost his voice: "Such a small fire gun?"
The blacksmith nodded: "But it can be achieved."
The blacksmith looked into Xie San's eyes, and both of them saw ambition in each other's eyes.
"But we won't..." Xie San sighed when he remembered this.
Blacksmith: "Let's go to the firearms bureau to borrow someone?"
Xie Sanyi thought about it and felt that this method would work, so he gave Lin Yuan a document and asked for a technician from the Firearms Bureau.
The three of them began to study and produce without sleep or food. It took half a year to waste countless materials, but they still could not get it out.
On the contrary, the spring factory is doing well, the failure rate of craftsmen is getting lower and lower, and springs have also begun to be used in many things, appearing in people's daily life.
However, when Xie San was in his early days, the most shocking thing was not the outsiders, but the Xie family, especially Father Xie. How could he think of the useless son in his eyes, the son who depended on himself when he was alive and depended on his elder brother to live after his death? There are current achievements.
Since Xie San became the factory manager, the Xie family's situation improved instantly.
Several daughters have asked for marriage that they never dared to think about before, and their sons also have daughters from aristocratic families who are willing to marry.
When he went out to socialize and entertain, people's attitude towards him was not knowing how much better, and his wife began to have a position among the wives of various families, and was no longer an observer like before.
Xie San's status in the Xie family is getting higher and higher.
In the past, even the servants thought that Xie San was a waste, but he just cast a good tire.
Once in power, those confidantes of Xie San came back.
All of them said that they did not want to be named, and they were willing to share with other sisters, and they were willing to live with Xie San.
This time Xie San didn't want to.
The confidantes questioned him: "Do you have a heart of love again? We are willing to share you with her."
The confidantes also admitted that they left Xie San before because Xie San was neither capable nor willing to marry them.
Now they choose to come back because Xie San is a capable person, and they worship him for the first time.
Xie San had a headache when he was questioned, but he could only tell the truth: "Your Majesty has given me a task, and I will do well what His Majesty has entrusted to me, and only after I can get married can I get married."
The confidantes didn't believe it, thinking that he was just looking for an excuse to prevaricate them.
"Xie San! Don't go too far! According to your words, don't those students who didn't pass the jinshi test get married?"
Xie San told the truth, but no one believed him.
His father and mother didn't believe it, and his father told him with great interest that there were several young ladies who were willing to marry him, all of them from big families, the kind they couldn't reach before.
Xie San repeated what he said to his confidants again.
This time he was really beaten by his father, and his mother rarely stopped him.
Everyone thought that what he said was a lie, that he didn't want to get married, and the reason was definitely not what he said.
Xie San wanted to cry but had no tears, until he lied and said that he wanted to be more dashing for a few more years, and his confidant and family did not ask any further questions.
Xie San felt that if one day he was full of lies, he would definitely be forced by them.
