Chapter 345: Seven Years of Huaxia
The material conditions of Huaxia are not as good as the era before Li Kang crossed, so the attitude of the people towards the New Year is not like that era, and they are still quite enthusiastic, because all year round, eating the best on this day, especially children, is even more expected, just like Li Kang himself When he was a child, he could drink a few bottles of Jianlibao for a few days throughout the year, and drinking Jianlibao in winter was nothing more refreshing.
However, as the age grows and the family conditions get better and better, the Li family's New Year's taste becomes weaker and weaker, and gradually becomes similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has become a reunion dinner.
"Unexpectedly, crossing through once, it made me feel like the New Year when I was a child. After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Kang took a large family to the square of the Marshal's Mansion to set off fireworks, looking at the happy smiles of the wives around him, and a few little ones who could not walk scratching their hands and feet in their respective mothers' arms, the corners of Li Kang's mouth couldn't help but hook a smile, and he was in a good mood.
"Husband, look at it, those fireworks are actually typing in the sky!" At this time, the moon hare, which seemed to never grow up, jumped to Li Kang's side, grabbed Li Kang's arm with one hand, pointed to the sky with the other, and shouted in a suffrage.
Li Kang smiled very fondly, looked up, and sure enough, in the direction of the hare's finger, there were four big characters that were slowly dissipating.
"Long live Huaxia!" Li Kang said aloud.
"Husband, this Jiao Lan is really a little clever..."Next to him, his stomach was slightly visible, and Tan Yunxian, who had been standing quietly, chuckled, and he didn't know if this little cleverness referred to Jiao Lan's ability to make fireworks that released words, or to the content of the words.
"What's more clever than being smart?" Li Kang stretched out his hand and grabbed Tan Yunxian's right hand, frowned and said, "Why are your hands so cold? If it's cold outside the house, go back to the house first, you take your body with you, don't freeze..."
This is Tan Yunxian's second child after four months.
In front of the public, his hand was pulled by Li Kang, if it had been a year ago, Tan Yunxian would have hidden his face and fled, but after giving birth to a child, Tan Yunxian became much more generous, I saw him looking at Li Kang gently, shook his head stubbornly, and said softly: "I'm not cold..."
Seeing Tan Yunxian's insistence, Li Kang didn't say much, but pulled her other hand over, wrapped them with his own hands, and put them to his mouth from time to time, and continued the topic just now: "At present, among the people in our Chinese business community, the private sector, and the rise of pure grassroots, except for Qian Sanjiang of the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce, it belongs to the Jiao of the Cupola Chamber of Commerce... If it weren't for his late start and low starting point, those boys from the Northern Chamber of Commerce would not be his opponents at all... Look, in a few years, as long as this Jiao Lan doesn't make major mistakes, Zhang Fang, Yuwenzhao and others will not be able to fight him even with the help of their family's forces. ”
"Mr. Zhongjing (Zhang Ji) and Mr. An Le (Yu Wenkai) are not greedy for money, let alone people who use power for personal gain, and it is difficult for them to use the power of their families..."
"Mr. Zhongjing and An Le are indeed not this kind of people, but with the help of power, you don't need these two people to come forward, it is enough to have their signboards!" Li Kang said disapprehantly.
"Then why didn't you ban the families of officials from doing business in the first place?" Tan Yunxian said curiously, "Isn't this unfair to other people?"
Li Kang pursed his lips and said, "Absolute fairness is the greatest unfairness!" However, the combination of government and business is indeed a major drawback, but in all dynasties, who can completely cure this problem? Taishi Gong said: The bustle of the world is all for profit, and the bustle of the world is all for profit. "If you want officials not to collude with businessmen, first of all, you have to solve the problem of human nature and greed, which is the same as purging the rule of officials, you can only mend the seams and make up for the dead, and if you want to solve it completely, when communism is realized, let's talk about it!"
"Communism?"
"Well, if you don't understand it, forget it, you should think of it as an ideal country!" Li Kang said indifferently, anyway, there were enough fresh nouns coming out of his mouth, not worse than this one.
"If I forbid the families of officials to do business, do you think they will really abide by it? It is better to let them come in a big and generous manner, so that everyone will watch and always have something to fear..."Li Kang said with a calm face, "I know this is a bit taken for granted, but at least there is no problem now... When the time comes, whoever has a problem will be cured, and it will be dealt with strictly!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the New Year!" Tan Yunxian hurriedly interrupted the topic and said with a smile.
"Hehe..."Li Kang smiled, "Speaking of this Jiao Lang, it also reminds me of a person!"
"Oh, who is it that is so fortunate to have you remember, husband?" said Tan Yunxian as he listened with a prickly ear.
"You, you..." Li Kang doted on Tan Yunxian's forehead and said: "A college student named Bai Qishan, this guy entangled a gang of classmates to make a new Mingde Chamber of Commerce when he was in school, and the pebble path in our backyard was made by their Chamber of Commerce, and it made a lot of noise..."
It's a pity that Tan Yunxian didn't think so, only to see her frowning, and said unhappily: "A good reader, if you don't read, you go to business, you are simply not doing your job, and you are willing to fall!"
"......" Li Kang looked at his stupid daughter-in-law, speechless for a while, the generation gap of the times is really not something that can be filled overnight, in other words, he is still quite looking forward to that Baiqishan becoming the Bill Gates of China, there are tens of millions of officials in China, and if there is less Baiqishan, there will be another Heiqishan and Lanqi Mountain on the top, but Huaxia's Bill Gates is not said to have it.
Just when Li Kang and Tan Yunxian were talking happily there, Yue Hare, who was left aside by Li Kang, had his face almost bulging into a bun, his mouth was high, and the four big words "I'm angry" were almost written on his forehead.
When Tan Yunxian tilted his head, he crossed Li Kang's shoulder, and happened to see the sulking Moon Hare, "fluttered" and laughed, winked at Li Kang, and then nodded at the position of the Moon Hare.
Li Kang was a little strange to talk about Yunxian What was wrong, and he looked back in confusion, Khan, he forgot that the moon hare was still around.
The snubbed saw Li Kang turn around, and he was overjoyed, but then he snorted again and tilted his head to the side. Now, this girl still dares to play a petty role with Li Kang, of course, Tan Yunxian also has this qualification, but with Tan Yunxian's docile temperament, he can't do it.
Li Kang smiled apologetically at Tan Yunxian, turned around and straightened the body of the moon hare, and said with some tears and laughter: "Okay, look at this little pout, you can hang two oil bottles!"
"People's mouths aren't that big!" retorted the Tsukino Harre.
"Hehe..."
The dead duck of the Moon Hare had a hard mouth, which caused a chuckle, but there was a strong envy hidden behind the smile, especially Xue Tao and Yu Chi Chifan, the "side concubines" who were nominally second only to Tan Yunxian, and they did not enjoy the treatment of the Moon Hare.
"Sister, I want to go back to the house first, Jiu Sheng is asleep, and it's easy to catch a cold outside!" Retracting his gaze at Li Kang, Xue Tao sighed resentfully, and then said to Yu Chi Chi Fan beside him.
At this moment, the two girls each held a baby in their arms, Xue Tao was in the arms of Li Kang's fourth son Li Jiusheng, who had reached the age of one, Xiao Jiusheng's compatriots Li Jiudan and his biological mother Heiyun all died of smallpox in July, so Li Kang handed him over to Xue Tao, who had no heirs yet, to raise, and the baby in Wei Chi Chifan's arms was her own son, Li Kang's sixth son, Li Jiugao, who had just been born for less than two months.
In other words, when Wei Chi gave birth, Li Kang didn't know how much he was looking forward to giving birth to a daughter, but he wanted a small padded jacket, but it turned out to be a handle, and I don't know if it was a genetic problem, six in a row, all of them were sons, Li Kang was bitter, but he couldn't show it yet, for fear of making the women who had just given birth think wildly, and the result would be a good one.
Wei Chi Chi nodded and said, "Well, I'll go back with you!"
With that, the two came to Li Kang to explain the situation, Li Kang had nothing to do and readily agreed, but then asked them to pay attention to keeping the children warm, and kissed the two children on the face, and then let them go back to the house.
"Laneige, Xing'er (Gao's), you also send Jiu Xu and Jiu Chen into the house first, the child can't stay outside for a long time..."After Xue Tao's two daughters left, Li Kang felt that he had been outside for a long time, so he asked Palm Lanzhi and Gao Xing to also go back to the house.
"Forget it, it's almost over, let's go back together!"
Everyone returned to the hall where they had just eaten, and the stoves around and in the center of the hall had been lit, and the hall was warm, and everyone who had just returned from the outside instantly felt that they had come to another world, and after a while, beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads.
"Take off your coat quickly, you don't have to wear it so thick in the house!" Li Kang said with a smile while drinking tea, he has been practicing martial arts for a long time, and he can withstand the cold and heat better than ordinary people, and he doesn't wear much, but the women are wrapped like zongzi one by one, and their whole bodies are furry, revealing a small face.
"I'm going to keep the New Year tonight, if you're sleepy, go straight to bed without saying hello to me!" Li Kang said again while everyone was busy undressing.
"I'm going to keep the New Year, too!" said the moon hare in a hurry.
"Don't be like last year, you say that you are beautiful, and you want me to carry you back. Li Kanghu said with a grimace.
Yueyehae's face was slightly red, and he didn't know if it was smoked by the stove or ashamed, so he snorted and said, "I promise not this year..."
"Yunxian, have you sent the red envelope you prepared?" Li Kang didn't bother to pay attention to her, and asked Xiang Tan Yunxian instead.
Tan Yunxian gave him a delicate glance and said, "After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you will take us out to watch the fireworks, how can you have time?"
"Hehe, now I have time, it's just right, it's a matter to solve a matter!" Li Kang said.
"Okay, according to you..."Tan Yunxian said helplessly.
Giving out red envelopes or something, has always been popular with the people, no, when Tan Yunxian ordered someone to bring out a tray full of red silk, the atmosphere in the hall reached its peak.
Time passed imperceptibly in everyone's chat, and some people couldn't stay up and went back to the house to sleep, Tan Yunxian was sent back by Li Kang early because he was pregnant, and in the end, only Moon Hare was left.
"Okay, don't hold on, go back..."Li Kang looked at the moon hare with a headache, who couldn't open his eyelids, but he still didn't leave, and waved his hand in disgust.
The moon hare was startled, his eyes widened, and he said stiffly: "Who said it, I don't want to sleep yet!"
But in less than three seconds, the eyelids drooped again, and the little head grew little by little.
Although the current state of the moon hare is very cute, Li Kang has no interest in appreciating it at all, so he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands and report this little girl to a side room at the back of the hall, he doesn't have the time to carry her to her own yard.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, midnight passes quietly, the calendar has turned a new page, the wheel of history rolls forward, and the time has come to the seventh year of China.
On January 1 of the seventh year of Huaxia, this is the day that Li Kang is most unwilling to live in a year, and his main task on this day is to be a marionette and complete a set of rituals that must be completed according to the established procedures.
Accept the worship of the big and small wives, accept the worship of hundreds of officials, sacrifice heaven and earth, and invite hundreds of officials to eat, not to mention that the officials are unhappy with this meal, Li Kang is also unhappy, and anyone who is tossed for a day will not be able to eat.
On January 5, the seventh year of Huaxia, the "short" seven-day annual leave came to an end, and everything returned to normal, and the big machine of Huaxia began to operate in an orderly manner.
This year is another important year for China, the north and south trade routes are about to open, which has a vital role for China to increase its influence in the east of the river and the grassland, and at the same time, it also has a great stimulating effect on the production of major factories in the territory, and the large-scale military shutdown indicates that most of China's energy will turn to domestic affairs and diplomacy, and it is foreseeable that if everything goes well, China will be a year of rapid development in China for seven years.
Seeing that the future is so bright, is it inappropriate to still use the nondescript title of shogunate?
As soon as life was a little better, some people had crooked thoughts. It's not a crooked mind, the shogunate was originally a transitional institution, and the founding of the country was a matter of time, but they wanted to say it in advance and grab the first credit.
As a result, there were those who were not afraid of death to take action, and on January 16, just after the Lantern Festival, the cabinet received a special excerpt.
"Lucky villain!Does anyone know where this Haitao came from?" Guan Zhong, the chief of internal affairs, snorted, threw the fold directly on the table, and asked a group of office personnel.
"Xiangye, this Haitao is the head of the cultural and educational section of Wuji Town..."After a while, a clerk finally dug out this Haitao file out of nowhere, got up and said respectfully.
"This kind of person is actually the head of the cultural and educational section in charge of education, what are these Ma Zhou and Yan Yuan doing?" Guan Zhong immediately became even more angry when he heard that this guy was still the chief of the cultural and educational section.
And the two people he named Ma Zhou and Yan Yuan, one is the director of the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the other is the director of the Performance Appraisal Department, one is responsible for appointing officials, and the other is responsible for evaluating officials.
"Xiangye, it's a matter of time to be held accountable, and it's imperative that you first present the fold to the royal court... After all, the content of the excerpt is not good for the subordinates to decide for the king. For fear that the boss would be confused, a subordinate immediately reminded him.
"This is my province's. "Guan Zhong naturally knows what to do, you must know that in history, he is famous for his worries about the monarch, not a direct minister like Wei Zheng.
