Yang Hongzhang woke up slowly, just wanted to get up as usual, but found that his arm seemed to be pressed by something, and when he looked down, a handsome little face came into view. It's not Xiang Yunfang, who else can it be, and then look around, it's his own study!

Yang Hongzhang tried to recall what happened last night, he seemed to be drinking with this little girl, then felt hot, and then began to undress......

No, the heat of drinking is not to the point of stripping, it's not because of the wine. But that wine was brought to Yun Fang? Yang Hongzhang gently pulled his arm out from under Xiang Yunfang's body, and Xiang Yunfang whispered a few times and didn't wake up immediately, thinking that he was also drunk.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Hongzhang's limbs regained their freedom, Xiang Yunfang woke up, and when he opened his eyes and saw Yang Hongzhang, he didn't have the terrible screams like in the TV series, but just looked at the room seriously, and then got into Yang Hongzhang's arms.

Yang Hongzhang held the other party in his arms distressedly, and pulled the quilt up to cover half of Xiang Yunfang's face, so as to relieve the embarrassment.

Who knew that Xiang Yunfang was not honest, after being hugged by Yang Hongzhang, his body trembled, and then he actually poked his head out and kissed Yang Hongzhang on the mouth.

As soon as Yang Hongzhang responded, Xiang Yunfang became more active, and the quilt turned again......

"Brother Yang, I may never see you again in the future, so ...... I know you only have Sister Xia in your heart, but I just like you! I know you may think I'm an indecent woman, but I still can't help it, I like you so much......" Xiang Yunfang after the cloud and rain in Wushan again was unusual, and actually cried in Yang Hongzhang's arms.

Hearing this, Yang Hongzhang hugged the other party tighter, eager to melt his heart to show the other party, and couldn't wait to tell her, sister, I am a traverser, I don't have that pedantry, but when it came to his mouth, he said: "Silly girl, what do you want." I'm proud that you like me. I like you too, not about other people's things. ”

"Really?" Xiang Yunfang's eyes widened, a little surprised.

"Really! My Fair Lady and Gentleman, you are a great beauty, how can I not like it when I am a hot-blooded man. ”

"But, but I'm ...... in the drink"

Yang Hongzhang blocked her little mouth with his fingers and shook his head: "You just need to know that I like you." ”

Xiang Yunfang nodded, then shook her head again, then lowered her head and said nothing, just looked at Yang Hongzhang quietly, her hands on Yang Hongzhang's chest with some symbols that only she could understand.

The two of them warmed up for a while, Xiang Yunfang went down to the ground and got dressed, and didn't forget to tell Yang Hongzhang before going out: "What Daddy said may be right, if you want to stay away from right and wrong, it's better to go to a place to experience a few more years." If you can't hide, you must bring enough people with you when you travel in Beijing, and you must not rely on luck to fight those people. ”

Yang Hongzhang was also full of emotion in addition to nodding, but he was worried in the face of such a beauty, although he was a person in a harmonious era, but the private relationship of marriage still had to follow the customs of this era, so it would be very troublesome next. So much so that until Xiang Yunfang got into the carriage, he still didn't say it to his face, waiting for me to marry you.

And Xiang Yunfang lowered his head and blushed in the strange eyes of the Yang family's servants, and hurriedly got into the carriage.

Yang Hongzhang, who returned to the room, was alone for a long time, he was carefully recalling Xiang Yunfang's words before he got drunk last night, Xiang Siwen went to see a very important person, and he might not go home. Who made Xiang Siwen do this?

and last night's drink was brought to Yunfang, if Xiang Yunfang wants to drink, then there is no shortage of drinks in his own house. It was already very strange for a girl to go out to visit a friend with a jar of wine, and then Yang Hongzhang, who was a man of two lives, felt that there must be something wrong with the wine. Ordinary people drink spirits to get a fever, but at the beginning, as they drink too much, they generally get chills. And the state of the two last night was clearly a symptom of a drug attack.

So what made Xiang Yunfang decide to hand her over so actively, could it be that Xiang Siwen was going to discuss her marriage with whom?

If that's the case, it's obvious that the male Xiang Yunfang doesn't like or doesn't like that family. Thinking of this, Yang Hongzhang regretted it, because if Xiang Siwen decided to marry a certain official or big family in the capital, then even if he immediately proposed to Xiang Siwen, he would not agree.

What's more serious is that the man who is the pick-up man will definitely not treat Xiang Yunfang well in the future. What's even worse is that Yang Hongzhang still doesn't know where Xiang Siwen's mansion is! Xiang Siwen seems to be deliberately avoiding him again, where does this make him go to find someone to propose?

Yang Hongzhang realized that he had to take the initiative, otherwise he would live up to the kindness of the beauty, and I was afraid that he would be tormented by this in the next few days. Hurriedly found Yang Sheng, explained, and asked him to lead some people to the city to inquire about Xiang Siwen's residence, and then sent people to the military camp to find Xia Dongwei to come over to discuss, now the capital to Hangzhou is a round trip of at least 20 days, Xia Dongwei can be regarded as having a certain understanding of the origin of Xiang Siwen's father and daughter. Maybe I can help myself with the work of the family. If it is a harmonious era, the best way is naturally to go to Lu Xiangsheng, but in this era, the girl's reputation is more important than life, and Yang Hongzhang naturally can't use raw rice to make mature rice to blackmail Xiang Siwen and let the Xia family accept Xiang Yunfang.

Of course, the most difficult thing is not to find Xiang Siqing, but how to convince him. Yang Hongzhang didn't expect that little kindness to make Xiang Siwen loosen his mouth, if he really cared about that kindness, he wouldn't have come to see him so far, he had two things in a row, and he didn't see him say anything.

Yang Hongzhang spent his time in chaos in the early dynasty, but when Yang Hongzhang went out with the flow of people, he was stopped by Wang Chengen.

"Lord Yang, the emperor is waiting for you in the East Warm Pavilion."

When Yang Hongzhang came to Dongnuan Pavilion with Wang Chengen, he found that there was only Emperor Zhu Youzhen, and the emperor didn't seem to be in a good mood. After Yang Hongzhang bowed carefully, Zhu Youzhen did not talk nonsense such as love and courtesy, but said in a low voice: "Yang Aiqing, I heard that you once brought back some monks from the West, I don't know if there are any of them who are proficient in medical skills?" ”

Yang Hongzhang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Youzhen strangely. The Chinese people have always rejected Westerners, especially the Ming Dynasty, otherwise there would be no retreat. Why did you suddenly ask about this today?

Zhu Youzhen was obviously also aware of the problem of his lack of brains, so he added: "My beloved concubine has been ill for a long time, and the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless, I want to ask the Westerners to see if there is a way." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister brought these Western monks because most of them were scientists with a certain amount of research in various industries, and some of them were skilled craftsmen in making muskets and artillery. The minister will repair the book and ask for it, and if there is one, let them enter the capital quickly. ”

"Hey, you should do it as soon as possible. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that Concubine Ai's illness will ......"

"Your Majesty, don't be too pessimistic, although there may not be a professional doctor among these Western monks, Western medicine may sometimes have unexpected effects if you know a little skin. I think that these Western monks are scholars who are well-versed in the strengths of many families, and there should be some people who are roughly familiar with Western medical skills. ”

"According to Aiqing, is my Ming Dynasty lagging behind the West in an all-round way, isn't it that some Western monks who roughly understand medical skills are better than my Ming Tai Doctor's medical skills? Why do craftsmen still have to be invited from the West? Zhu Youzhen listened to Yang Hongzhang's words, but suddenly made a jump.

"Back to the emperor, according to the minister's opinion, the basic application of the Ming Dynasty, such as the level of agricultural production, is still far ahead of the Westerners. It's just that because of the large number of people and the lack of land, the number of countries, and the perennial wars between countries, the development of ordnance is relatively fast, which has led to the development of arithmetic, geometry, physics and other disciplines. Especially the development of navigation, taking the Netherlands as an example, the land area of the country is smaller than Zhejiang, and the population is not more than one million, but they have more than 10,000 large and small warships, so there will be red-haired people entrenched in Taiwan, and most of the vassal countries of the Ming Dynasty in Southeast Asia have become their colonies. ”

"What is the level of John Tang of the Qin Heavenly Prison in the West?"

"It's just better than arithmetic, and there are many people who are better than him. Your Majesty, now that Jiannu has begun to attach importance to artillery, I should send a royal academy to those who have a skill to study and teach, so that our science can catch up. ”

"But I respect Confucianism."

"Your Majesty, Confucianism is to help us govern the country and provide political beliefs, but Confucianism does not teach ordinary people how to farm land, how to build water conservancy, how to increase grain yield, and how to improve the quality of tea. Nor does it instruct us how to make ordnance for cash. When Jiannu invaded, it was useless for us to tell them about Confucianism, and we had to teach them the same flintlock pistols and artillery with a longer range than them. ”

"Well, the ancestors of the past generations have read the books of sages since childhood, and as a result, they have been surpassed by Westerners in the field of science. I have read Mr. Xu Guangqi's works and know something about this. And your assessment may be more intuitive. It's just that it's easy to run a school, but where are there so many teachers? ”

"Your Majesty, those Western monks are ready-made teachers, and the ministers also know that some masters in the people can recommend them to the court."

"Folk masters can be eclectic, but those Western monks are Yi people after all, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?"

"Your Majesty, Mount Tai does not let the soil become its height, and the sea does not reject the trickle to become its depth. What was the relationship between Qin and the Six Kingdoms back then, and what was Zhang Yi and Li Si? How many foreign officials were in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty? Their positive impact is far greater than the disadvantages of their sensitive status. Besides, the West Ocean is thousands of miles away, and there is almost no dispute with my Ming Dynasty, and the relationship between Qin and the Six Nations is so tense, and the Qin State dares to use people from the Six Kingdoms, what else is the emperor worried about? ”

Zhu Youzhen's spirit was lifted when he heard this, and he fell into contemplation, yes, Yang Hongzhang said that the Qin Emperor and the Tang Dynasty, this is a figure that every king in later generations worships, Zhu Youzhen is determined to prosper the Ming Dynasty, and he needs such a mind.
