Daming Town Haiwang

Yanhuang calendar 1752, Zhengde four years.

As the new year passed, the entire Ming Dynasty began to enter into the busyness of the new year.

In Liu Jin's study, Liu Jin stood by the window, watching the snowflakes falling one after another, full of thoughts.

It has been more than 30 years since I traveled to this world, from a young man to a man in his early fifties.

Because of his arrival, the world has undergone tremendous changes, some of which even Liu Jin himself finds a little unbelievable, it seems a little too fast.

Just like the very popular movies in Da Ming now, it’s hard to imagine that in such a short period of time, the movie came out, and from the beginning, it passed the stage of silent movies and directly entered the sound movies, and it became popular in Da Ming all of a sudden. Completely exploded.

It took only 30 years for the people of Ming Dynasty to walk the road of science and technology that took the Western generation more than 100 years. Today's Daming, in terms of technology and development level, is almost equivalent to the level of later generations before and after World War I Yes, even more advanced in some aspects.

And compared to the Europeans in history, the living standards of the Ming people are much, much higher, because of the vast land and resources, coupled with the development of agricultural mechanization, the life of the Ming people has never been richer.

Although the Europeans in history plundered the whole world, the life of the Europeans at the bottom is actually very ordinary, and it can even be said to be very ordinary. This situation did not really change until after World War II. Great changes, lived a rich life.

The earth-shaking changes, the spacious concrete roads, the cars running on the roads, the phonographs and telephones in the house, and the electric lights in the rooms are intertwined with the blue bricks and tiles and courtyard houses that have not completely fallen off in this period.

It made Liu Jin feel unreal, and he would always fall into a kind of chaos. He always felt that he was interlaced and modeled between modern and ancient times, and there was a kind of misty chaos.

"Master, drink ginseng soup!"

Just when Liu Jin was full of thoughts, Liu Jin's concubine Liu Hui came in with her maid carrying ginseng soup.

Liu Hui was a beauty who was attacked by North Korea to Emperor Zhengde. Last year, after Liu Jin asked to go home for the elderly, Zhu Houzhao felt that he did not reward Liu Jin well when he became emperor, so he also bestowed several Korean and Japanese beauties to Liu. Jin, this Liu Hui is one of them, and now there is only one, very young.

Liu Jin is not Liu Xiahui, there are beauties, and Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen in the family do not object, so they also take a few concubines.

This Liu Hui is Liu Jin's favorite concubine. She is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Her father is a minister of Korea. She grew up learning Ming language, characters, living customs, Four Books and Five Classics, etc. , can be regarded as a young generation growing up in the new era.

"Ok!"

Liu Jin looked at Liu Hui and nodded with a smile.

From North Korea, she usually likes to stew ginseng soup for Liu Jin to nourish her body. In her words, drinking ginseng soup is very common in North Korea, but it is not so popular in Ming Dynasty.

In the past, Liu Jin didn't like supplements. Liu Jin from later generations knows that a person's health mainly depends on regular exercise and a reasonable diet, which is stronger than taking any supplements.

But now that I'm a little older, it's not like when I was young, it's always a little vain, and it's still much, much worse than when I was young.

It's like I started taking concubines last year, and I took all the beauties bestowed by Emperor Zhengde as concubines. Counting it, it has been almost a year now, but there is no movement of these concubines now.

This made Liu Jin feel that he was really old and not as good as before.

When I was young, I met Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen a few times, and they would be pregnant soon. The two gave birth to eleven children for Liu Jin, not to mention high yield, but at least they reached the average level of Ming people in this period.

It has been almost a year now, and none of the concubines responded, which made Liu Jin very depressed, thinking that maybe he was really old and couldn't be Wang Shouren.

When Wang Shouren was in his 50s, all the concubines in his family gave birth to sons for him. Now that he is in his 60s, I heard that he has another concubine in his family. His combat effectiveness is really good, and he seems to be worse than him It's a bit far.

Liu Jin drank the ginseng soup in one breath. It was time for him to make up for it. He was about the same as Lao Wang. This little concubine followed him, and if nothing else, he always left her a child or something. In this way, it won't be too miserable until later.

"Master, let me rub your shoulders."

Seeing Liu Jin drink it all in one go, Liu Hui was also very happy.

Although being a concubine to this man in his early fifties in front of him, who is several years older than his father, seems aggrieved.

But Liu Hui didn't think so. On the contrary, she felt that it would be very good to be a concubine for a great man like Liu Jin.

Liu Hui, who has studied Ming culture, language and characters since she was a child, is a talented woman. What she admires most is a talented wit. She used to want to marry a talented wit.

It's just that she was selected in the beauty pageant by the North Korean side and was given a tribute to the Son of Heaven. Originally, she thought that she could only die miserably in the palace in the future.

This Da Tianzi is a philandering radish, and there are many women. It is too difficult to get ahead in such a harem. The key is that Da Tianzi is not a great talent, which is not very good for her. .

Who would have thought that this would be given to Liu Jin by the Son of Heaven, and Liu Jin's Daming has already been well-known all over the world, and it is also very famous in North Korea and Japan.

The prosperity of the Ming Empire today is inseparable from Liu Jin. Liu Jin is full of talent, and the number one scholar is definitely a great talent. The song "Linjiang Immortal ~ Rolling The Passing Waters of the East of the Yangtze River has long been famous all over the world and amazed by the world.

Such a great talent, a powerful minister, and a great man who will go down in history, she Liu Hui is naturally willing and likes it very much.

And after arriving at the Liu Mansion, when she saw Liu Jin, Liu Jin gave her the feeling that she was not as old and decayed as an old man in his 50s. He looked very young, only in his 30s, with a handsome appearance Extraordinary, dignified, modest and gentleman, personable.

She is also willing to be a concubine to such a man.

"Ok!"

Liu Jin nodded, sat down on his desk, spread out a world map, and looked at it carefully.

Liu Hui stood aside, rubbing Liu Jin's shoulders carefully, and then looked at Liu Jin curiously. Why does Liu Jin always like to look at this world map?

Is it looking at the vast territory of the Ming Empire?

Or are you planning the future development of the Ming Empire?

Looking at the incomparably vast territory of the Ming Empire, and then looking at the small peninsula of Korea, in comparison, it is really too small, too small.

It's just that for the Koreans in this period, they also have many choices. They can choose to stay in North Korea, or they can choose to immigrate to the Ming Empire.

People from the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty who immigrated to the Ming Empire can also enjoy the treatment of the Ming people, and those who immigrate to the overseas provinces, vassal states, and colonies of the Ming Dynasty can also enjoy the same treatment as the Ming people.

Many Koreans chose to immigrate to Liaodong, Nanyang, and Huangjinzhou, which greatly eased the conflict between people and land within North Korea, and also made North Korea rich and prosperous following the prosperity and strength of the Ming Empire.

"Uh~"

Just as Liu Jin was looking at the world map with relish, Liu Hui suddenly retched, looking very uncomfortable.

"what?"

When Liu Jin saw it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's okay~"

"Uh~"

Liu Hui shook her head again and again, and was about to continue talking when she retched again.

"Shouldn't there be?"

Liu Jin looked at her in pain, and quickly and carefully patted her on the back, thinking about it and guessing.

"what!"

"really?"

When Liu Hui heard this, she immediately became happy.

"Come here, go ask the doctor."

Liu Jin immediately gave instructions to the servants on the side.

Then he also said to Liu Hui's maid: "Take her back to her room to have a good rest, don't catch a cold or something."

"Yes, sir!"

Several servant girls also hurriedly took action, carefully taking Liu Hui back to the room to rest.

If this Liu Hui is pregnant, her status will be greatly improved. Liu Jin, who is old and lucky, must love her even more.

Soon, Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen also got the news, hurriedly went to visit Liu Hui, and at the same time told the maids and servants at home to take good care of Liu Hui.

My husband-in-law has not had a son for nearly 20 years. To be honest, Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen also felt that it was time to give Liu Jin a concubine.

In a wealthy family like Liu Jin, the number of people is very important.

As the hostesses of the family, the two of them have always attached great importance to this period. Almost all the sons in the family have married several families and taken many concubines.

Liu Jin, as the pillar of the family, has always been the only two of them. They are old and can't have children anymore, so naturally they want to take concubines for Liu Jin.

In the past, Liu Jin had no such intentions. Last year, the emperor gave Liu Jin a beauty, which was just right.

Soon, several experienced doctors hurried to Liu's mansion by car. After repeated diagnosis by them, it was certain that Liu Hui was indeed pregnant.

After getting the confirmation, everyone in the Liu family celebrated happily. As for Liu Jin, he couldn't help shaking his head. He was still sighing about this matter just now, but he turned around unexpectedly.
