Chapter 409: Thirteen vassal states
Leaving Caitlin's villa, Zhou Ming sat in his car, in fact, his mood was very complicated, because when Zhou Ming told Christo that Caitlyn was his wife, he really thought that he could really get this woman, after all, she was so beautiful, and the arrogant temperament of the aristocratic background was also what every man wanted to conquer. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just that when Caitlin really said that she wanted to be his wife, Zhou Ming felt entangled again.
In the final analysis, Zhou Ming is not a natural prodigal child, and he now has Sister Mu Qing and Ran Ran, and Su Han, who is still in China, now do you want to add Caitlin? Zhou Ming doesn't want to be the horse that breeds everywhere.
The more Zhou Ming thought about it, the more headache he felt, so he opened his mouth and asked Zhang Lindao, who was always by his side to protect him: "Do you think I should accept Caitlin's cheap daughter-in-law?"
Zhang Lin smiled at this and said: "You want to ask me this question, but I am asking the wrong person, I am the eldest in the barracks, except for my own daughter-in-law, I have basically never had any communication with other women, and I don't have such a good Yanfu as Brother Zhou Ming, how do I know?"
Zhou Ming also smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, it's not right for you to say that, you forgot what I told you? In the future, an invincible soldier king like you who is proficient in fists, feet, kung fu and firearms on the battlefield in the military camp is definitely the standard male protagonist of all kinds of dragon tyrant novels! If you want to release it, you can also have a group of beautiful women, and now follow me to be my personal bodyguard to give you the ability to succumb to your ability." β
Zhang Lin shrugged his shoulders: "Is this really the case? But I don't seem to have read this kind of novel, but I also feel that if I didn't train in the barracks every day, how could I have such good skills? β
"I don't think so, it's just that Zhang Lin didn't do it, otherwise with your cleverness, you will definitely be able to find a way easily. Zhou Ming said with a smile.
This is the end of the topic of Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin, in fact, Zhou Ming asked Zhang Lin not really to get an answer, sometimes finding someone to talk to itself will be more important than getting an answer.
And after talking to Zhang Lin, Zhou Ming's heart was not so entangled, and as for the next day, when Zhou Ming came to find Caitlyn again, Zhou Ming had already completely seen it: It doesn't matter what his final result is! If Caitlyn has to marry herself, if she marries herself, will she still suffer? As for Lin Muqing, Tang Ran, and Su Han, it will be better to find a way when the time comes.
Besides, Zhou Ming didn't think that he would have such a big charm, a perfect girl like Caitlin had to marry her, maybe after her own words yesterday, she would take the initiative to give up.
This was Zhou Ming's idea, but when he met Catelyn, he understood that his idea was too naΓ―ve.
Zhou Ming came to Caitlin's villa, and saw a fire rising from the yard from a distance, this is someone burning something, and when Zhou Ming entered the villa, he found that it was Caitlin and her housekeeper burning things, and it was still the dress she wore yesterday.
"Your Highness Caitlin, what are you doing here?" Zhou Ming asked curiously when he got out of the car.
"Of course it's saying goodbye to my yesterday!" Caitlin stood up and told Zhou Ming, "I've already thought about it, since I decided to be Zhou Ming's wife, then I have to learn to let go of the identity of the Harusburg family and learn and adapt to the identity of an oriental wife, so the one who was burned to death over there was Caitlin yesterday, and she no longer exists." β
Caitlin thought for a while and added: "So now Zhou Ming, don't call me Your Highness anymore, because she no longer exists, and what is in front of you now is just an ordinary Caitlin." β
After she said this, Zhou Ming realized that Caitlin was just wearing a very ordinary dress today, her hair was coiled very casually, and she looked no different from an ordinary girl, if it weren't for that beautiful face.
However, judging from Caitlin's move, it is obvious that she did not give up, but made up her mind to change herself because of Zhou Ming's words yesterday, which made Zhou Ming sigh with emotion, how could she actually let such a proud princess of Harusburg let go of all her pride.
Caitlin saw Zhou Ming's thoughts, she blinked her eyes and said playfully: "But I'm just doing this to make myself more suitable for the East, not to really give up my identity! Don't make a mistake, after all, I still have to take Zhou Ming to the outside world, if you don't have the identity of the heir of the Harusburg family, it will be very troublesome." β
Zhou Ming sighed and spread his hands and said, "Okay, since Caitlin said so, I can't say anything if I refuse you again, let's try to get along first." β
Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Caitlin immediately jumped up happily, she ran over in three or two steps and hugged Zhou Ming's arm: "Really? This is really good, I believe we will be the happiest couple in the world!"
Caitlyn was very happy, but Zhou Ming was very entangled, because the fullness of Caitlin's chest was just rubbing against her arm, and the amazing firmness and softness were deeply stimulating Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming had been alone for so long, which made Zhou Ming have to silently recite the Great Compassion Mantra in his heart to fight against desire, after all, it would be a little too embarrassing to make a tent in front of a princess, especially when there was a middle-aged housekeeper next to her.
After the two had breakfast together, Caitlin took Zhou Ming to the Harvard University Library, Caitlin said to Zhou Ming: "The library of Harvard University is the oldest library in the United States, and it is also the library with the richest collection of books and categories. β
Starting from understanding the United States, and then understanding the real rules of the outside world and the whole world step by step, this is the plan that Caitlin made for Zhou Ming.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Quincy branch of Harvard University, which was much less crowded than other Harvard libraries, but it was also better for Zhou Ming.
Most of the libraries of Harvard University belong to scientific research libraries, in order to ensure the safety and ensure the reading environment and other reasons, it does not accept visitors, the same is true of this Quincy branch library, you must hold a special certificate from Harvard University to be admitted, Zhou Ming because he studied at Harvard before, so he specially applied for a reading card, but what Zhou Ming didn't expect was that Caitlin actually had a certificate.
For this reason, Caitlin explained to Zhou Ming: "I also studied at Harvard in the past, so I also got a reading card. β
Then Caitlyn took Zhou Ming to the historical data area, and Caitlin asked Zhou Ming softly while searching: "Do you know what is written in the preamble of the Constitution?"
Zhou Ming shook his head, although Zhou Ming had seen it, he hadn't memorized it carefully, of course he didn't know when he asked this time.
"We, the people of the United States, hereby enact this Constitution for our nation to establish justice for a better union, to preserve internal tranquillity, to provide common services, to promote the public welfare, and to the happiness of liberty for ourselves and for future generations. Caitlin told Zhou Ming, "This is the preamble of the Constitution, do you think there is any problem in this?"
"This constitution is more than 200 years old, and after so many years of amendment, every word of the constitution should have been discussed repeatedly, so there will be no problem. Zhou Ming replied without thinking.
Caitlin nodded, "That's true now, yes, then you can take a look at this." β
Caitlin said as she took a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Zhou Ming, and told him: "The real time when the U.S. Constitution really came into effect was thirteen years after the founding of the country, and before this Constitution really came into effect, there was actually another version of the Federal Constitution, and it was in your hands, which was actually what the Constitution originally looked like." β
Zhou Ming opened the book in his hand, and he immediately frowned: "New Hampshire, Queen Mary of Delaware, Georgetown and other thirteen states, hereby formulate this constitution for our government and that of future generations?"
Caitlin said to Zhou Ming: "Some of these thirteen names are still used today, but some are not, but it is undeniable that these thirteen names are the original thirteen states when the United States became independent. β
"To put it simply, it was the original thirteen colonies, Caitlin do you mean to say that these thirteen states, they are actually countries with their own monarchs, laws and armies, and it is only for the sake of independence that they have to unite together to form an alliance into a larger country?" Zhou Ming asked.
"This is so," Caitlyn continued, "or that it is not appropriate to use the word state for the thirteen colonies, and it would be more appropriate to use the word fiefdom, for the thirteen states are in fact the thirteen vassal states." β
Zhou Ming nodded: "Indeed, the word states can be interpreted as states and states, and can also be understood as the fiefdoms of the princes, so Caitlin what do you mean, was the so-called War of Independence in the United States at first just a war of division between these thirteen powerful vassal states against their central power?"
"I don't want to discuss the historical conspiracies, so to speak, I just want to tell you about the sources of power of these thirteen vassal states. Caitlin said to Zhou Ming, "For example, Virginia, the name is the name of Queen Elizabeth I of England, and the name of Georgia comes from the king George who died on the toilet." β
"Actually, it's not just these states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and even Massachusetts, where we are now, although they are not directly named after a certain king, but if you look up the information about these states, they were originally fiefs given by their king to a nobleman. β
Caitlin continued: "Actually, to put it bluntly, these princes are just agents supported by some families on the European continent in North America, so when the thirteen states become independent, every time the president of different families comes to power, it will also correspond to the period when which country and family in Europe dominate, for example, the first president, he is the French noble, and the Adams family has always regarded England as the suzerain. β
In addition, the original independent thirteen states cannot be said to be a country, but can only be called a loose alliance, because each state has its own set of political systems and different laws, and each territorial nobleman is unwilling to give up his territory, so I think the original thirteen states will be more like the form of the alliance hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period of China, and the president is just the leader jointly elected by the nobles of all the vassal states. Caitlin said.
