Chapter 113 Block Printing

Which girl doesn't have a spring, and which woman doesn't want to marry?

Bian Linglong also fantasized in her heart that one day she would be able to put on her wedding dress and marry eight sedan chairs from the main entrance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt the wedding banquet, I accept congratulations from relatives and friends from all parties, and then happily become a bride.

It's just that she also knows very well that she is from a happy background, and this background is only a little higher than that of ordinary domestic slaves. People from this background are rarely able to marry, and more are accepted as concubines, and she has long been prepared to be included in the back house by a certain dignitary.

Acceptance and marriage are completely different concepts, and marrying must go through the formal process, and the one who marries back must be the main wife. The Han Dynasty continued the Qin law and implemented monogamy in marriage, which meant that each man could only have one wife. Of course, concubines are allowed, but concubines are no different from the mistresses of later generations, at most they live under one roof.

A concubine is not a wife, more often than not, it is like a bought commodity. If you have like-minded friends, you can even give your concubine to each other, or even send it to bed. If you get tired of it one day, it is not a problem to sell it directly, or even beat it to death, that is, to lose some money.

The law does not protect concubines at all, perhaps in the end, they are nameless and have no points.

Bian Linglong was also like this in history, and bought it back for Cao Cao directly, but fortunately, she was gentle and considerate, and Cao Cao was also a favorite. Later, he gave birth to Cao Cao's concubine Cao Pi. After Cao Ang's death, Cao Pi was the eldest son, and Cao Cao, in order not to follow Yuan Shao's old path, could only turn Bian Linglong into a regular son, so that Cao Pi became the eldest son, and Bian Linglong could also change from a concubine to a wife.

Mother is more precious than child, and perhaps this is the best exception.

Now it is different, Bian Linglong did not become a concubine, and directly became a bride. She doesn't know what happened to her in history, she only knows that she is the happiest woman in the world today.

She burst out with the greatest enthusiasm to meet Li Yu's request, and she wanted to use her actions to prove her love and happiness in her heart.

The next day, when the sunlight shone slightly into the room, she got used to getting up and pulling up the woman's bun in front of the bronze mirror. In fact, from the day she became Li Yu's insider, she combed up the woman's bun the next day, but today feels completely different from before.

Her beautiful appearance is reflected in the bronze mirror, and Bian Linglong carefully dresses up to show her most beautiful side. The woman is the one who pleases herself, she is Li Yu's secretary, and she has to be by his side at any time, so she naturally wants him to always see him at his most beautiful.

Although they are new wives, it is not the first time for the two of them, Bian Linglong smiled, got up and simply cleaned up the new house, and then went out to deal with housework.

Although Li Yu is the county magistrate, he is actually the head of the house in the autonomous region, but he is very frugal. There are not many servants in the house, and at most some are secretly protecting their guards.

"Sister, are you awake? My sister is boiling porridge and will be ready for breakfast soon! In the kitchen, Xie Huan was busy, and even Li Ling was helping, and when he saw Bian Linglong coming in, he greeted him one after another.

In the end, there was no separation, the three lived together like this, but Li Wen, who had a marriage contract with Cai Yan, moved to live elsewhere. The auspicious days of the zodiac have already begun to be calculated, and their marriage is not long in coming.

"Why did you wake up so early? I'll just come to this porridge thing, why do you need the two sisters to be tired? Bian Linglong said urgently.

"Hehe, aren't you worried that you won't be able to get up this morning, sister?" Xie Huan joked when he heard this, although Li Ling didn't say anything, he also covered his mouth, and his shoulders shook and he was obviously holding back a smile.

"Okay, I actually arranged my sister? Xiao Nizi, do you want to get married? Bian Linglong immediately quarreled with them, especially Xie Huan, who followed her at a very young age, and the relationship between the two was no different from that of real sisters.

As for breakfast, it was originally not eaten, and the Han did not have breakfast unless he was harvesting or serving as a soldier. At twelve o'clock, I ate the so-called 'morning food', but in fact, it was already lunch.

Modern GD Hong Kong still retains this habit, and generally skips breakfast in the morning, at most drinks some morning tea.

Li Yu had already developed the habit of eating breakfast before, so the third daughter slowly developed this habit in order to cater to him. I rarely eat dry rice for breakfast, at most I boil some rice porridge and order pickles, and at most boil a poultry egg or tea egg.

In the end, just after the Spring Festival, there are no vegetables that can be eaten at all, and the family has eaten dried vegetables and pickled vegetables for more than ten days, which is indeed a little disliked, but it is a pity that in addition to continuing to persevere, what can it do?

When Li Yu got up, breakfast had already been prepared, and even Xie Huan had gone to the store to continue the business; Li Ling also went to the academy to teach, but Bian Linglong, as his personal secretary and wife, waited for him to eat.

"Do you want to rest at home for two days?" At the dining table, Li Yu looked at Bian Linglong.

"If the husband doesn't want the concubine to show up, the concubine can stay at home all the time." Bian Linglong took the opportunity to say, in fact, she also thought that after becoming a wife, she would take care of housework at home.

It's really not good to have no one to take care of the huge house, but she also has to work part-time as Li Yu's secretary, so she can only use the time after work at night to clean it, but fortunately, Xie Huan and Li Ling are at home, so they can help somewhat.

It's just that they will definitely get married in the future, and when the time comes, the family will be empty, and it won't be good if there is no one to take care of it.

"I respect your opinion on that, and if you want to work, then continue to be my secretary. If you have problems at home, just hire a trustworthy person to be a servant! Li Yu said slowly.

"How can people from the outside be trusted...... Why don't you buy a maid and come back......" Bian Linglong suggested.

"Human trafficking is inhumane, and loyalty is nothing more than an illusory thing. The autonomous region will definitely abolish human trafficking in the future, but unfortunately it is not the time yet, but if I take the lead, others will inevitably catch the handle. Li Yu shook his head.

In Momen's concept, population should not be bought and sold in the first place. It is the existence of such a thing as a master and a slave that constitutes a class and exploitation. In Li Yu's philosophy, all citizens should be equal, and they should not be forced to sell themselves to others because of a disaster at home or any difficulties encountered, which can only be regarded as a dereliction of duty by the government.

"Then the concubine should pay attention to it, or let the little sisters pay attention to it!" Bian Linglong nodded, he didn't care if what Li Yu said made sense or not, the man in the family spoke, she obeyed unconditionally, and she wouldn't even argue about anything.

On the other hand, Li Yu is also very entangled, on the one hand, improving women's autonomy and self-reliance is also one of his goals; On the one hand, he also enjoys this treatment. Therefore, the question of whether or not to reform this aspect is a difficult question in itself.

Forget it, it's a long way to go, women in these years have no ability to be independent, and they don't even have some of the savings mentioned, and they may not be able to live without men. Coupled with the sense of power and bureaucracy, women's rights and nothing can be played at all, and it is not interesting to think about this now.

After two days, Bian Linglong found a woman in her thirties in the neighborhood to help clean and cook, mainly for dinner, and she and Li Yu ate lunch in the county government, but there was no need to make anything else.

This is also a benefit that Li Yu took out, as long as it is a person in the government, there will be at least one lunch at noon every day. It's not bad, two meat and one vegetarian, it's not too bad. The cost is that the expenses of the county government and the town government are a little more than before.

This job is easy, and there are hundreds of articles a month, so naturally I rushed to do it. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't need money, there is no heavy work in the first place, cleaning the house of the head of the autonomous region and cooking dinner or something, it's too simple. But because of this, he has the opportunity to hug the thigh of the county order, and there may be some trouble in the future, and there will be favors to go.

As the time came to March, Li Yu and his family of four also got used to having a servant. Breakfast is still made by Bian Linglong and the three of them in turn, but for dinner, except for some special times, it is already something prepared by the maid.

Unknowingly, the auspicious day of the zodiac has also arrived, and Li Wen forcibly married Cai Yan under the witness of everyone. It is said that Cai Yong went directly to the door that day, but was kicked away by Li Wen...... I have to say that the old guy is really hard enough to save face......

It's okay now, I have also explained to Hedong Wei, even if I am unhappy, I can only come to Li Wen to settle accounts.

Anyway, since the past, the Hedong Wei family and the Longxi Li family have not dealt with each other, and the Longxi Li family actually sent someone to send a congratulatory gift when they learned about it, and the gift was much thicker than when Li Yu got married, which shows that he also supports this marriage.

Li Yu pouted at this, this Li Wen is worthy of being Li Ling's illegitimate son, and he is recognized by the Li family in Longxi, and this gift is a lot more than his Xibei goods.

In fact, Li Wencai was bitter, although he was acting, but he kicked his father-in-law in front of him or something, which made Cai Yan very unhappy, and he didn't let him enter the marriage room that night. In fact, even if you go in, you just sleep in clothes, Li Yu has already made it clear that Cai Yan is forbidden to have sex before the age of eighteen, and it is forbidden to have children before the age of twenty. Seeing that there are still more than six years to go, Li Wen is also miserable.

Fortunately, he is a martial arts idiot, and he has no place to vent, so he practices martial arts in the backyard.

Compared with Li Wen's small problem, the new products in the industrial zone really made Li Yu happy.

Lin Ming came to report that the engraving printing machine has been improved and the ink has been innovated. At present, it can be put into use, and at least more than 500 books can be printed every day. Movable type printing is being studied intensively, and it is not difficult to think about it.

It's just that Lin Ming said that this movable type printing is not suitable for getting it out now, otherwise it will bring death to Li Yu.

Now, the efficiency of engraving printing is indeed not as good as movable type printing, and the cost is also high, but because of this, the price of printed books is also the degree that ordinary poor scholars cannot buy, so as to ensure safety. Otherwise, those gate valves will inevitably have to take action, either destroy the movable type printing press, or control it in their hands!

"If you recruit thousands of people and print them at the same time, how much can you sell each?" Li Yu asked.

"If you print pamphlets like the Three Character Classic or the Thousand Character Text, you can print thousands of copies every day. Paper and ink are cheap, so each book only needs about 30 wen to buy, and the average person is frugal and frugal, and it is estimated that it can be bought in a year. Lin Ming thought for a while and said.

"Print 300,000 copies for each of me, and work overtime to print them! It can be divided into three shifts, people rest the printing press without resting, and print these 600,000 copies for me quickly! These books were all purchased by the government and included in the autonomous region's finances! Li Yu said solemnly.

"What the hell are you going to do? How about it? Lin Ming asked curiously when he heard this.
