On the second day of the wedding, just after dawn, Montenegro and the fourth princess got up. It's not because they don't want to sleep in, it's that today Qin Feng is going to set off and return to Ile County. Originally, Qin Feng was going to leave half a month ago, so he just stayed and waited for the wedding in Montenegro before going on the road, and he didn't dare to delay it for a day! Because they must hurry back to the city of Ileh before the heavy snow in winter, or they will freeze to death on the road.

The palace maids quickly opened two basins of warm water and let Montenegro and the four princesses wash!

"In the future, I can use well water for all my face washing! No heating. After washing his face, Montenegro explained.

"No!" The two palace maids answered, and brought official uniforms to put on for Montenegro. The official uniform has been simmered very smoothly, not only hot and warm, but also a very fresh fragrance of osmanthus.

"Why is this dress so warm and so fragrant?"

Montenegro asked curiously.

The green-clothed palace maid next to her said, "Every day, before the concubine and the princess get up, we will warm our clothes and smoke them with the finest spices before we put them on for you!" ”

Montenegro knew that the green-clothed palace maid was called Xia and was the princess's personal maid. He asked, "How much does it cost you a month?" ”

"In the past, Princess Guang's clothes alone, the moonlight spice money cost about one hundred and forty gold." Natsu replied.

Montenegro was startled and distressed! In the future, if you get into bed together, two people will have to spend ten gold just after getting dressed! Hurriedly said: "In the future, my clothes will not be incense alone, just put it next to the princess and rub a little incense." ”

When the princess finished dressing up, the two greeted their mother together. The palace maids brought two breakfasts, and the princess's was only a bowl of polenta, while Montenegro had seven or eight porridges and snacks in front of her. Fortunately, Montenegro has a large amount of food, and the wind and clouds are all eaten! The princess drank the small half bowl and giggled when she saw the wolfing appearance of Montenegro.

"In the future, my breakfast will be the same as the princess's, no need to cook it separately, just enough amount!" Montenegro said. A palace maid brought a bowl of salt water and asked Montenegro to rinse his mouth.

Usually, if there is no morning exercise in Montenegro, it will not take a quarter of an hour from getting up to going out! It's been a full hour slow today. Only then did he take the princess's hand, take the bronze chariot with spring and autumn, and come down to the north gate under the escort of a hundred guards.

Qin Feng led a westward contingent of more than a hundred judges, officers, doctors, and craftsmen. Ready to set off, they rode north on fast horses to join up with an army of 5,000 convicts and volunteers, and had already set off on the border of Northland County for Illeg County with hundreds of carts of silk, porcelain, and tea.

Montenegro personally poured wine for his former subordinates, and said: "Next time I come back, I will bring more seeds that are not available in the Central Plains, and cats will bring back more, and the current number is not enough to breed." I heard that Macedonia was weakening and that a Roman Empire was on the rise. Buy some of their weapons and equipment at a high price and bring them back! ”

"No!" Qin Feng responded, picked up the wine in his hand, and drank it all.

After sending Qin Feng back to the mansion, Montenegro asked the meatloaf to bring ten personal soldiers to pretend to be a caravan and escort Fan Hao back to Pei County, which is still in Chu County. Montenegro confessed to Fan Xu: "There is a wang family surnamed Xiao in Pei County. There is a scholar named Xiao He in the Xiao family, who should be about thirty-five years old. Be sure to find him and make friends with him. Secretly told him that I admired his talent very much. I want to make friends with him. Here are the gifts and letters I gave him, which I will pass on to him when the time is appropriate. ”

"No! I made a note of it! Fan Xu agreed.

"Go and come back!" Montenegro explained to the meatloaf. Watch them leave.

Montenegro returned to his study. Zhang Jin sent a copy of the major events copied by the government, and there were two major events, one was that Wang Qian's army had fought with the Yan Dynasty coalition army. The second is that the widow Qing donated 30 million gold to the king of Qin in order to thank the king of Qin for his great kindness. King Qin was overjoyed, built Huaiqingtai in Xianyang, named the widow Qing as a "virgin woman", and moved some of his clansmen to live in Huaiqingtai. And handed over the Dansha trade to the exclusive franchise of Ba Widow Qing.

"Beloved, what are we going to do in the afternoon?" The princess walked over slowly, sat down beside Montenegro, and asked softly.

Montenegro hugged her little waist, saw her change her clothes again, and said with a smile: "Aren't there musicians and dancing girls?" In the afternoon, let's enjoy singing and dancing! How many sets of clothes do you have to change a day? ”

"I got a little dirty when I just went out, and I changed it when I came back, what's wrong?" The princess replied, looked at herself again, and asked, "Is it pretty?" Chun'er said that this is Shu brocade, and a set can be worth 200 gold? ”

Montenegro touched the princess's face with his rough hand and said, "In the future, you will also make a few sets of clothes as short as spring and autumn, and it will be convenient for me to take you out." You see your clothes are long and mopping the ground, if I take you outside, I won't even be able to walk! ”

"I listen to you for everything! Since I was thirteen, the clothes they have made for me have been so long! I also like to wear the short, heel-to-heel clothes that I used to wear when I was a kid. The princess took advantage of the situation and lay down in Montenegro's arms and said.

"Also, in the future, at home, we won't wipe powder, no rouge! Rouge is made of dansha, which contains mercury, and if you use too much, your skin will be dark, and it is not good for your body! Cher is so beautiful, she can fascinate countless people without makeup! Montenegro coaxed the princess again.

"You flamboyant, you saw me back then, why didn't you come to me later?" The princess said angrily.

"Except in the small garden of the palace, we have met?" Montenegro asked curiously.

"Three years ago, in Salted Fish House, you ran to the second floor to see me, did you forget?" The princess asked rhetorically.

"You're my little girl playing a kite? It's only been three years, and I've grown so big! Montenegro remembered, "I was praising you for playing well!" ”

"Later, I asked Brother Fusu to send people to wait there every day, and it wasn't until a year ago that I found you again! By the time I found an excuse to sneak out, it was the third day! Let people limit you, and you will be dumped! You're missing again, and I'm sick in a hurry! The princess said aggrievedly.

Montenegro was moved in his heart, and kissed the princess's red lips affectionately.

At lunch, a round table that could seat ten people sat only the mother, the princess, and Montenegro. The dishes are both meat and vegetarian, and more than a dozen dishes are placed on a large table.

Montenegro asked the princess softly, "Xue'er, let's let spring, summer, autumn, and winter eat together in the future!" This is not in the palace, everyone is now a family! ”

The princess looked at her mother and said, "We often eat together in the palace, I wonder what Grandma's opinion is?" The princess replied softly. These four maids, more like the princess's best friend, had a meal together in the palace, and were touched by Mi Shi, but the four of them were taught a hard lesson by Mi Fei.

Montenegro asked his mother again, but her mother was very happy and said, "The family should eat together, lively!" Appetite will be good, too! Besides, Spring and Autumn are also daughters-in-law! ”

Montenegro let spring, summer, autumn and winter also eat together. After the seven people finished eating, most of the dishes on the table were left. Montenegro called Xiao Dezi. Xiao Dezi is the head of all the eunuchs and palace maids in the Horse Mansion, and he will come after a while and salute everyone!

"Xiao Dezi, how much is the estimated cost of the Horse Mansion for a month?" Montenegro asked.

"The princess's personal use is the same as in the palace, a thousand gold a month. The monthly salary, food and clothing budget of all palace maids, chamberlains, medical officers, musicians, and dancing girls is 2,000 gold. The three thousand gold were paid from the palace. The food and money for the 150 royal guards in the Horse Mansion were directly given by the Zongzheng Mansion, and we don't know how much. There are also a hundred official servants, and the cost of food and clothing is about forty gold a month. The food and clothing of the horse's family is budgeted at 1,500 gold a month. The total cost is 4,600 gold a month, deducting the 3,000 gold paid by the palace, and 1,600 gold to be paid by the Ma Mansion itself. ”

"My monthly royal family's salary is 500 gold, how much is the princess's?" Montenegro asked again.

"The princess's money is also five hundred gold. The King of Qin personally gave another 500 gold. There are three horses of fine silk in the palace every month, one horse of Shu brocade, five catties of tribute tea, and three catties of honey. There are other rewards for festivals and birthdays! Xiao Dezi replied!

After hearing this, Montenegro was shocked, this expenditure was thirty times more than when Daliang built the mansion. explained: "In the future, the three meals will be made according to the princess's taste, and the number of dishes will be reduced by sixty." Officials and servants must have at least one meal a day with meat and vegetables, and each person should pay 200 yuan a month. All guards have two meals of meat dishes a day. The treatment of chamberlains and court maids should also be increased. The extra costs are borne by the Pony House itself. ”

In the afternoon, Montenegro invited his subordinates who were not on duty to enjoy the music and dance together! Holding the newlywed princess in one hand, drinking wine, and enjoying classical music and dance, a gentleman and a loser.

While admiring it, he suddenly noticed that the princess had been staring at him, so he smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" Is your husband getting more and more handsome? ”

"Who's my husband? The name of the beloved? The princess asked. In this era, husbands and wives call each other lovers, but Montenegro is difficult to get used to, so he replied: "My husband is your lover!" Will you call me husband in the future? ”

"Not good! People think I'm married to an old man! I don't like their singing and dancing! I love what you guys sing! The princess said, looking at Montenegro with burning eyes.

Montenegro waved his hand and stopped everyone! He beckoned to Taile. Taile is the petty official of Taile Mansion, and he is in charge of the song and dance rehearsals of the Horse Mansion and so on! This Tairaku is called Aya, and at the age of his early thirties, he is proficient in playing various musical instruments! After a few steps, he came to the front of Montenegro and saluted: "Horse, fourth princess, what do you command?" ”

"Will you play "Loyal to the Country", "Men Should Be Self-Reliant", and "The Light of Friendship"?" Montenegro asked.

"Horses, these are all songs you composed, we have been familiar with them in the palace for a long time! I also made a special dance! I want to ask the fourth princess and the concubine for some advice! Taile replied.

Montenegro was overjoyed and said, "You are in charge of playing and dancing, let them sing!" Montenegro gestured to his men.

"No!" Great music is coming down. Montenegro picked up the princess, called his subordinates, and sang together!

The atmosphere was getting better soon! The passionate singing, accompanied by the court musicians, is even more majestic and exciting! Everyone had a great afternoon. Montenegro wrote a few more songs for them to rehearse!

Meng Zhao went to school every day before dawn, breakfast and lunch would be eaten at the school next door, and dinner would be eaten together in the Fuma Mansion and Montenegro, and he, Chen Bo and a few servants lived in an independent four-entry courtyard in the mansion. King Qin was going to give him a large mansion alone, but he refused! Confucianism is about chewing slowly and eating without words. After enlisting in the army, Montenegro had long forgotten what he had learned in the academy, and his meals were all made by Hula Hula. So every night, he has to learn to eat slowly! I have a lot of food, and I always can't eat enough, so I have to endure until Meng Fuzi leaves, and then I gobble up a few bowls! After dinner, he always had to take a walk with Meng Fuzi for a while, and then go to the teacher's study to have a few cups of tea before leaving. There is another princess on today's walk! Today is the second day of her marriage, and she will be by Montenegro's side wherever she goes. As usual, the two teachers and students discussed current affairs first, and then discussed academics. The two walked because the fourth princess, the oil bottle, was wearing a long mopping skirt, and they couldn't keep up, so they had to give up and go back to the teacher's study to chat.

"In addition to teaching, mathematics, and law, do you teach courses such as political ideology in the university?" Montenegro asked.

"What is political thought?" Meng Zhao asked suspiciously.

"Tell your students, why are we fighting, why is the Qin State stronger and stronger with one enemy and six more fighting, and the six countries are getting weaker and weaker? What is the historical significance of the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, in addition to making meritorious contributions to the beheading? Montenegro said.

Meng Zhao immediately fell into deep thought and said, "These questions have flashed in my mind countless times, and they are all flashes again, and I really haven't thought about it seriously!" ”

Montenegro waved his hand to the portraits of Confucius and Mencius on the wall, and said: "The requirements of the ancestors Confucius and Mencius are to be 'benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and faithful', emphasizing the idea of 'loyalty to the monarch and love the people'. Why doesn't a single country reuse them! Every king treats them as guests, but no king rules with their people and ideas. Why is it that every student Guiguzi teaches can move the world and change the fate of many countries? ”

Montenegro's question made Meng Zhao ponder for a long time! In the end, he stood up and bowed to Montenegro, saying, "Zi said, he is sensitive and studious, and he is not ashamed to ask." Ask the apprentice to teach me today! ”

Montenegro hurriedly stood up and helped the teacher to do the next thing: "It's not that Confucianism is wrong, but it's not timely!" Before Wei Ying's reform, private fighting in the Qin State became a common practice, and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured every year due to private fighting. Zhao Kang, the county magistrate of Meixian County, was a well-known Confucian disciple, and he used benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette to educate the people, not only did not stop the private fight, but it became more serious. As soon as Wei Ying made a move, he killed more than 700 people who participated in private fights at one time. For more than 100 years, less than 1,000 people have died in private fights. Why did Zhao Kang fail and Shang Ying succeeded? Why did Confucius starve Chen Cai for a few days, and no one gave him a meal, while Ba Widow Qing donated 30 million gold at once a few days ago? When Confucius was hungry for a few days, you preached benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith on his right, and I cooked porridge on his left, and you said he would go that way? "Montenegro has thrown a lot of questions in a row.

Meng Zhao suddenly realized and said: "The world is in turmoil, wars are continuous, people are precarious, they don't have clothes to cover their bodies, they don't have enough food. Let's talk to them about benevolence and morality, they must be trying to kill people and steal food. The foundation of benevolence, righteousness and morality is the peace of the country and the people, and the people are rich in food and clothing! ”

"I dare to conclude that after the unification of the world, when the country and the people are safe, it will be the world of Confucianism! When the time comes, everyone will be loyal and patriotic, and everyone will learn benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith! Montenegro said.

"You say, at that time, will Great Qin abandon the Legalists and use Confucian etiquette to govern the country?" Meng Zhao asked.

"The rule of law should be used in the world, because everyone has selfish intentions, and the rule of law can put selfish desires in a cage. Confucianism educates the world, and Confucianism can teach most people to be benevolent! Montenegro replied.
