Returning home from Lanzhou High School, Li Zicheng was in a good mood and basically got the grinding machine, which can not only reduce the production cost of bicycles, but also be applied in many fields in the future, at least the production speed of firearms will be accelerated.

Unlike perfumes, distilled spirits, and soaps, the grinder is not a simple consumer product, but a manufacturing instrument, and although it is only in its infancy, it is a big step forward from the bicycle itself, and belongs to the beginning of heavy industry.

If a factory is opened in the future to specialize in the production of various grinding machines, it may be possible to ferment scientifically......

The matter of Lanzhou was almost disposed of, and he originally wanted to go back to Mei Zhihuan and talk to him about the design of the local government system in Longyou, and see how the prototype of the parliament established at the beginning was working.

Mei Zhihuan served as the governor of Longyou Province in December of the third year of Chongzhen (AD 1631), and the term of office was five years, but now more than six years have passed, but there is no adjustment, and the court and parliament will be renewed.

This kind of thing is too cumbersome, because it is a pilot project, and there is no complete set of laws.

For such a long time, I have not heard of the active and important role played by the parliament and the courts.

But Li Zicheng doesn't plan to give up, if he doesn't try, who knows which system is the most suitable? Crossing the river by feeling the stones and constantly adjusting the direction during the itinerary is a feasible way to explore a set of systems, and Deng Taizong has already practiced it.

To establish a completely new system, it will certainly be extremely difficult, and the people of Longyou now have a very low literacy rate and no ability to explore themselves, so theoretically they must completely rely on the "take-it-or-leave-it-ism."

Li Zicheng will not be too anxious, for the time being, he will cultivate people's consciousness, wait until the Chinese Empire appears, the literacy rate of the people will increase to a certain level, and then make a choice according to the specific situation at that time.

Just like Wang Zheng's development of a grinding machine, the formation of an effective system also requires continuous experimentation, trade-offs, and revisions...... Until the end it is in line with the intent of the maker!

But he didn't plan to ask in person, but handed it over to Liang Wencheng, and asked him to decide whether to continue to operate after the change of term or make necessary adjustments according to the practice.

He wants to go to Xining to see, there is no necessary reason, but Xining is the birthplace of the Mandate of Heaven Army, and it is now the central city, and the commercial tax is more than Lanzhou, Li Zicheng left Xining last time, it will be almost a year, and he can't be too alienated from Xining.

After dinner, Li Zicheng gathered all the ladies and told them that he was about to go to Xining to inspect them.

Chen Qiudie suddenly puffed out her cheeks and said stupidly: "I knew I wouldn't come back, how good would it be to teach in Xining......"

Sun Mengjie grinned, "Fool, Mr. just went to Xining to inspect and will be back soon, and he is not resident in Xining!" ”

Tian Fen twisted Chen Qiudie's thigh and sneered, "Why does Sister Die'er think so? ”

"Ouch......" Chen Qiudie screamed exaggeratedly, twisted Tian Fen's face before stopping.

Gao Guiying saw that the two of them were not talking, coughed, and said, "Don't make trouble, Zicheng is going to travel far away, we have to pack up Zicheng's clothes and clothes, as well as dry food and other things that should be used." ”

As soon as she spoke, even Chen Qiudie and Tian Fen, who have always loved to make trouble and laugh, and can be called the second general, didn't dare to speak.

Li Zicheng was about to leave, but found Mu Sirong lying on the dining table, looking a little sluggish, only the eyelashes of her eyes blinked up and down continuously, and she didn't feel moved in her heart, and quietly leaned over, "Is Rong'er homesick?" ”

"Huh?" Mu Sirong was taken aback, and hurriedly rubbed her eyes with her little hands, "The capital governor ......"

Li Zicheng patted her thin fragrant shoulder and said, "Rong'er hasn't seen her father and mother for more than half a year, why don't you go back by the way?" ”

"Okay? The Metropolitan Governor ......" Mu Sirong raised her eyes and said hurriedly: "Rong'er can't ride a horse, and it will drag down the Metropolitan Governor's march......"

"Fool, this time I went to Xining, and it wasn't a war," Li Zicheng straightened out her hair and said, "You clean up first, and the work in the school is settled!" ”

Mu Sirong quickly nodded her head, as if Li Zicheng would regret it, "Yes, Dadu Governor, the servant will not miss anything, and the left course will definitely be ......made up after he comes back."

Chen Qiudie immediately shouted: "Metropolitan Governor, nose is also going to ...... The maid has a sister, in Beichuan County, and the maid hasn't seen her for several years...... I'm afraid I don't know each other anymore...... "She also learned from Mu Sirong, looking pitiful!"

Tian Fen was not to be left behind, and said: "The maid has not seen his father and mother for a long time, please ask the governor to take the maid back together, the maid can ride a horse, and the trip will not be delayed......"

What's wrong with this, one by one learned to sensationalize? Or is it really inseparable from yourself? Li Zicheng smiled secretly, but he turned his face and said: "Die'er has a sister who is married in Beichuan County, but I haven't heard you mention it these days," glanced at Chen Qiudie and Tian Fen, and said: "This time I went to Xining, it won't be too long, if you go with it, you can only come back by yourself!" ”

Both of them were deflated, Chen Qiudie was thick-skinned enough, pouted, and said weakly: "That maid is waiting at home for the Metropolitan Governor to come back......

"That's right!" Li Zicheng suddenly caught a glimpse of Sun Mengjie, and said: "Jie'er's father and mother are in Xining, but they are relatively free, if they want, they can come to Lanzhou to continue to open a tavern!" ”

Sun Mengjie said happily: "Really? Will you bring them over? ”

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "I'll go and see them when I have time, it's up to them to decide whether they want to come over or not!" ”

"Thank you, sir," Sun Mengjie said, "Whether the student's father or mother comes to Lanzhou or not, the student is grateful!" ”

Li Zicheng saw that Namu Zhong lowered his head and was silent, and he didn't look at everyone, knowing that it had touched her mind, so he said, "Let's disperse, rest early." ”

Gao Guiying took the lead, and the women went back to their bedrooms to rest.

Li Zicheng paced to the door of Namu Zhong's bedroom, pushed it with his hand, but he couldn't push it open, he should have inserted the dark latch, so he knocked on the door gently.

Namu Zhong opened the door, and when he saw Li Zicheng, he didn't feel happy, "The governor is going to Xining, not going to the eldest ......lady tonight," he said, opening the door and letting Li Zicheng in.

Li Zicheng entered the bedroom, and when Namu Zhong reinserted the latch, he hugged him and said, "I'll talk about it in two days, and I'll follow the rules today!" ”

Namu Zhong glanced at Li Zicheng, but he didn't struggle, let Li Zicheng kiss her face, and kept warm for a moment before the two of them took off their clothes and put on the kang.

Just lay down, and didn't watch out for a figure crawling over from Namu Zhong's body, "Mother, I want to sleep in the middle!" ”

It turned out to be Sookje!

Li Zicheng smiled bitterly, Namu Zhong is good at everything, especially Shuji, and takes her to the kang every night, but, have you thought about my feelings? Wait until she's asleep each time......

Shuji climbed between the two, but put his arms around Li Zicheng's neck, "I want to sleep with Abu!" Regardless of whether Li Zicheng agreed or not, he had already leaned his head on his chest.

Li Zicheng is used to such a scene, and he doesn't drive away, just caresses her back with his big hand, he is strange, Shuji's Chinese is already very proficient, except for the Mongolian title of "Abu", he has been refusing to change it, and when he asked Namu Zhong, she couldn't tell it, she just laughed.

Thinking of the situation just now, Li Zicheng asked, "Namu Zhong, where is your father?" ”

Namu Zhong's body trembled, hesitated for a while, and said: "Servant Borzigit clan, Daddy is the king of Abayan County...... she held Li Zicheng's face with both hands, and said tremblingly: "Daddy is afraid that he has taken refuge in the Jurchens with the various tribes of Southern Mongolia...... The Metropolitan Governor won't blame the servant......"

"Borzigit?" Li Zicheng muttered softly, and suddenly realized, "Borzigit clan", isn't it what later generations called "Er'er only Jin clan"? This is the surname of the Mongolian royal family, and it turns out that Namu Zhong is a descendant of the Mongolian royal family...... Then his father Signoyan should be a big county king, right?

Among his wives and concubines, the eldest lady Gao Guiying has a brother Gao Yigong, who is already the leader of the Tiger Cavalry at this time; The third lady Sun Mengjie has an elder brother Sun Lin who is the principal of Xining No. 1 Middle School, and the fifth lady Tian Fen's father Tian Zhong was the magistrate of Haomen County, and her brother Tian Tianhao was the prefect of Haibei; Mu Qianshan, the father of the sixth lady Mu Sirong, is one of the top merchants in Xining; The most unfortunate third lady Chen Qiudie, and a brother-in-law Chen Jiu served in Beichuan County.

Only the maiden family of the second lady Namu Zhong has no intersection with the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion for the time being.

At the beginning, the identity of the second lady of Namu Zhong was to value her early affection, the identity of Lin Dan Khan's great blessing, and the support of the "Heavenly Mandate Khan" to directly take charge of the Chahar Department, without considering his maiden family at all.

Now that I think about it, if Ezignoyan defects to the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion as the king of the county, it will inevitably make waves among the various tribes of Monan!

Ezignoyan can take refuge in the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, it is because of Namu Zhong's relationship, if he refuses to take refuge, how can Namu Zhong manage it?

used to call herself a "concubine", and now she calls herself a "maid", Namu Zhong's status has dropped sharply, but she has always followed herself without regrets and never put forward any conditions, such a woman, how can she blame her?

He turned sideways and hugged him, "Namu Zhong, you are my woman, it's too late to hurt you, how can I blame you?" Don't think about it, let's have a good love......"

"Abu, you hurt Shuji......" Shuji, who was sandwiched between the two, protested.

Li Zicheng hurriedly withdrew his hand and let Shuji go, "Unintentional fault, unintentional fault, Shuji is good, Shuji sleeps in your mother......"

"No," Shuji put his arms around Li Zicheng's neck again and leaned over, "Shuji wants to be Abu's woman, and Shuji also wants to be loved by Abu forever!" ”

Li Zicheng's face suddenly had a black line, such a Shuji ...... He patted Shuji's head with his hand: "Shuji, don't make trouble, you're still a child!" ”

"Shuji will grow up," Shuji leaned crookedly into Li Zicheng's arms, "When Shuji grows up, will she be able to become Abu's woman?" ”

Li Zicheng couldn't do it, so he moved one of Namu Zhong's hands over and put it on Shuji's back, Namu Zhong informed him and stroked it gently, and after a while, Shuji let out a slight snoring sound, obviously asleep.

Namu Zhong moved her to the innermost part of the kang bed as usual, and came to the middle between her and Li Zicheng by herself, "Dadu Dudu, Shuji is asleep......"

Li Zicheng stroked her tender face and said, "Namu Zhong, Shuji is not small, she is already eleven, let her sleep in separate beds in the future?" ”

Namu Zhong smiled: "Shuji is used to it, is she willing to sleep alone?" In fact, this is how the Mongols originally lived...... It doesn't stop the governor from doing anything, right? The Governor didn't just do what he should do......"

"But, with her in the middle, we always sneak around, as if we were back to the old ......"

"Governor, you ......" Namu Zhong was about to pinch Li Zicheng's waist, and Li Zicheng almost fell off her in pain......
