Chapter 4 Changes

She is Chinese New Year's Eve, and more than ten years ago, she was known as the first beauty in Xuezhou County.

This certainly has the bonus of her status as the county lord, but it is also enough to prove her beauty.

Although he is old now, he is still the dream lover of countless men, and he is very famous in Xuezhou County.

However, she has always been serious and domineering, and the prefect, the county king, and the guest of honor Yu Chengyi did not dare to plunder her name.

In Three Rivers City, she is one of the five most powerful people, and even Zhou Bei is a little scared of her.

Although the Ming Dynasty is advanced, it is not an era when everyone is equal.

Lord Lihua nodded at Zhou Bei, touched his daughter's head, turned around and said, "Xiu'er, go pick a few lotus flowers, and send them to my courtyard in a while." ”

Xiu'er took the order and left, Yu Youwei welcomed her mother into the house, and the county lord of Lihua sat down on the chair behind the desk, looked at Zhou Bei, and said straight to the point: "In Heng, things have changed. Yibin went to Tangzhou to offer condolences this time, and mentioned to Liqing that you and Youwei are in love, and want Liqing to be fulfilled. But now because of the position of the prince of Tang, Liqing is unwilling to withdraw from the marriage now. ”

The divorce is related to the happiness of Zhou Bei and Yu Youwei, and it is also the most important thing for Zhou Bei now, and he can't help but feel a little depressed when he hears it.

However, seeing Youwei's worried expression, she squeezed out a smile, nodded with her, turned her head and asked: "Niangniang, what is the reason why you don't want to get out of the marriage now, I remember that Zhu Liqing is the third son, even if the son dies of illness, he also has a brother above him, right?" ”

Zhu Lihua nodded and said: "According to the clan system, it should indeed be the second son Zhu Shiqing who succeeds to the throne, but Shiqing's health is not good, and he was broken when he was young, and King Tang wants to praise Liqing as the son." ”

"Zongzheng Mansion is not easy to pass, right?" Zhou Beidao: "The practice of Zongzheng Mansion is to establish a grandson and establish a long, and it is against the rules of the sect to establish a third son over the second son. Moreover, whether Liqing can become the son of the world, what does it have to do with Youwei? ”

Zhu Lihua shook her head and sighed: "When it comes to Youwei, you have lost your sensitivity, think about it, why did King Tang ask Youwei for Liqing in the first place." ”

Eight years ago, Dongzhou No. 5 Tractor Factory was just a factory producing tractors and agricultural machinery, but because of the technical improvement of Zhou Duo, the father of Zhou Bei, the product line of the No. 5 Tractor Factory began to get involved in mining machinery.

And because of several of these fist technologies, the mining machinery produced has been well received.

Tangzhou is located in the west of the vertical and horizontal mountains of the southern continent, is a famous mining city in the southern continent of Dongzhou, in the memory of northern Zhou, another world, there is part of Chile and Peru.

The mining machinery produced by the Fifth Tractor Factory has received a large number of orders from Tangzhou, and the relationship with Tangzhou has become closer and closer.

Tangzhou is inseparable from the mining machinery of the Fifth Tractor Factory, and the Fifth Tractor Factory needs to stabilize this big customer.

In this situation, Tang Wang courted for his third son, and Yu Cheng, who was the head of the Fifth Tractor Factory, also readily agreed to the marriage.

Three years ago, Tangzhou was unwilling to spend a lot of money to purchase machinery and wanted to build a mining machinery factory in Tangzhou.

The Fifth Tractor Factory, which was built for three years and now can only produce some simple accessories, is openly supportive, but secretly dragged behind.

Not to mention the core accessories, that is, the assembly of large construction machinery, which has not been done now.

This incident also led to Tang Zhou's dissatisfaction, but they didn't have a good way.

If you don't have enough technology, you're going to be restricted.

In terms of personal relationship, Youwei had no feelings for Zhu Liqing, who was still like a child of the same age, and fell in love with Zhou Bei under Zhou Bei's intentional flattery.

Zhu Lihua has blocked the relationship between the two, but she also appreciates Zhou Bei, although Zhou Bei has a bad reputation after two episodes of illness when he was a child, but the more he knows him, the more she will pay attention to him.

He is handsome and personable, not only is he outstanding in writing, but he is also one of the very few masters who has surpassed the realm of Xiaocheng in cultivating longevity.

The recipe for longevity is a set of cultivation exercises compiled by Emperor Gaozu by integrating a variety of Taoist mental and physical techniques.

Although the exercises are mainly based on internal strength, long-term practice can strengthen the body and prolong life.

The people of the Ming Dynasty, both men and women, need to cultivate from an early age.

Emperor Gaozu cultivated to the fullest, lived to be one hundred and fifteen years old, and when he was 100 years old, he was still energetic and walked like a fly.

Today's emperor Zhengde was also put on the throne because of his breakthrough in Xiaocheng.

According to the different physiques of individuals, few people can break through the Xiaocheng realm, but every citizen who has cultivated to the Xiaocheng realm can be directly recruited by the army and enjoy the treatment of officials.

There are a total of 600,000 people in Sanhe City, and there are less than sixty people who have cultivated to the Xiaocheng realm, which can be said to be one in a million.

These people are either in the army or are reused in the government.

But the people who have cultivated to the realm of Dacheng, Zhou Bei has only seen one or two so far, one is the current governor of Dongzhou, Yang Zhihe, who is now in his nineties, but he is still energetic and in charge of the military and political affairs of the north and south continents of Dongzhou.

The other person is Li Ji, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard whom he met in Yingtianfu, although he is over sixty years old, he is like a middle-aged man of about forty, and his walk is like a dragon and a tiger, and he is invisible.

Masters are rare, not to mention that they can prolong their lives, such people will always be paid special attention.

Zhou Bei broke through Xiaocheng when he was only eighteen years old, and it is even possible to break through Dacheng in the future, Zhu Lihua naturally treats Zhou Bei differently.

The relationship between the Yu family and the Zhou family is also close, Yu Cheng is the director of the tractor factory, Zhou Duo is the chief engineer, and at work, Yu Cheng borrows a lot of Zhou Duo.

Even Zhou Duo's farm was bought by Yu Cheng, and there were many people who wanted to be neighbors with the county lord's mansion at the beginning.

Because of the close relationship between the two families, coupled with her daughter's attitude of not marrying Zhou Bei, Zhu Lihua reluctantly recognized Zhou Bei and decided to withdraw from the marriage and fulfill the two.

But after all, the other party is a royal house, and even if he wants to withdraw from the marriage, it is not something that can be settled by verbal words.

Hearing Zhu Lihua say this, Zhou Bei pondered for a while and asked, "What conditions did King Tang put forward on his side?" ”

Zhu Lihua didn't answer, but asked: "Among the patents you applied for in response to Tianfu, are there several patents for mining machinery?" ”

Zhou Bei nodded. "The new technology of mining machinery is different from the automobile technology has a mature system, in Yingtianfu, I have authorized dozens of patents on automotive technology, but there are only a few copies of mining machinery, and I left it to the fifth tractor factory in Dongzhou...... They also have their eye on these patents? ”

"Not only that, but they also asked us to help them set up a machinery factory in Tangzhou, including asking your father to go to Tangzhou to be the director for at least three years."

Zhou Bei pondered for a while and shook his head and said: "If you just ask me to authorize the technology, I can agree, but my father is already fifty-three out of fifty, and he has worked hard all his life, how can he let him leave his hometown to suffer this fatigue because of me!"

What's more, my father is a registered official of the imperial court, how can he leave his post because of the words of the government, from the chief engineer of a factory with 50,000 people to the head of a factory with less than 2,000 people, which can be regarded as derogatory! ”

Zhu Lihua nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It's quite a bit of a brain, the specific situation will not be known until the guest of honor comes back, we also talked on the phone in the morning, they got on the plane from the Governor's City at noon, and they will arrive tomorrow."

And with him, not only the officials of Tang Prefecture, Zhu Yunsong of the Tang Wangfu Elders' Association, but also Liqing came over this time. Therefore, you can also understand the matter with Youwei this time. ”

The Doge's City has a name called Panama in another world, where there is a canal connecting the Ming Ocean and the Western Ocean, and it is also the throat of the north and south continents of Dongzhou, where the Governor's Palace of the Imperial Court was built.

Zhou Bei looked at Youwei, who was worried, and was silent for a long time before saying: "For Youwei, no matter how much silver there is, no matter how much concession there is, I am willing." But when it comes to my father, I don't want to involve him too. ”

When Gaozu was alive, Zhou Bei didn't dare to implement no matter how many ideas he had.

According to the memories of Qiu Ming and Qiu Liang's two brothers in another world, the history of the Ming Dynasty in that world was still a typical feudal dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty soon declined.

However, the Ming Dynasty of this world, under the leadership of Emperor Gaozu Zhu Zhanji, developed into a global empire in less than fifty years.

In another 50 years, it developed into a modern empire that stepped into the second industrial revolution.

Regarding the ability of this Emperor Gaozu, he can only face it with the attitude of looking up to the mountains.

Sometimes, he wonders, if it were him, would he be able to do this?

He felt he couldn't do it.

Even if he had the knowledge, experience, and physique of two people in another world, and inherited a golden finger from Qiu Ming, he couldn't do it.

What is certain is that this Emperor Gaozu and that Lan Concubine are all people who have crossed over.

It's just that he hasn't been sure yet, whether Gao Zu and them are from the world where the Qiu Ming brothers are.

He worships Gaozu, but he doesn't dare to reveal his abilities.

He hid his ability until Emperor Gaozu died, and he had to work hard to marry Youwei, so he dared to go to Yingtianfu and apply for more than a dozen patents at one time.

He was afraid that after Emperor Gaozu knew about him, he would face uncontrollable consequences.

The emperor of a powerful empire that occupies more than half of the world's area is something that no individual can resist.

Seeing too much of the dark side in his dreams, he couldn't believe anyone's discipline, especially those who were in politics.

If he knew the secrets on his body, he doubted that he would not be free in his life.

Zhu Lihua stared at him for a while and asked, "I believe in your feelings for Youwei, but what if Tang Wangfu insists on refusing to withdraw from the marriage?" ”

"Any trade-off is a trade-off of interests, I believe that I can give Liqing, the benefits I can give to Tang Wangfu, and I can exceed the value of Youwei in their hearts."

"What if they threaten it?"

Zhou Bei looked at Zhu Lihua's dignified and bright face, lowered his body and bowed and said, "Niangniang, Youwei is also your daughter." ”

Zhu Lihua smiled and said, "Of course, Youwei is my daughter......"

"Mother......" Youwei snuggled up to Zhu Lihua's shoulder and hugged her neck.

But Zhou Bei didn't dare to fully believe this county lord's mother, and I was afraid that it was this county lord who wanted to attack him even more.

The innocent Vicky can see her gentleness and tolerance. But in the face of others, she only showed the arrogance and ruthlessness of the clan.

She is a good mother, but she is also a qualified magistrate.

With a wealth of more than 400,000 silver coins, even a prince would be tempted, let alone a county lord.

Although the first article of the Daming Law is that personal legal property is absolutely protected, there are policies and countermeasures......
