Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 142: Sex and Virtue

To say what kind of person Ye Liangchen is, he is definitely a bully, but he is also indeed a capable person. As the saying goes, a gentleman hides his abilities and waits for the right time to act, and he is a firm practitioner of this.

Was he wronged? Of course he was wronged, extremely wronged. Being humiliated and mocked by that beast Xia was something that no one could stand, but he really endured it, even if his heart was bleeding.

In ancient times, there was a man who slept on firewood and tasted gall. Now, let’s see how Ye Liangchen, with only 3,000 soldiers from Yue, can conquer Wu.

"Ye Lang, you've been writing since you came back. Take a break and accompany me to play in town."

Ye Liangchen was just about to turn around and take a look at Yin Yang, the idiot Princess Xunyang, but suddenly he had an idea. He looked Princess Xunyang up and down and felt that she was bright and beautiful, and really had a good body but a dog brain.

However, if it was purely about lust, Princess Xunyang was truly unrivaled. If he could find an opportunity to offer her to Xia Daosheng, he could take advantage of the opportunity to catch him and ask him to hand over all the process and formula. If he didn't agree, he would report it to the royal family. In the end, no matter whether he married Princess Xunyang or Princess Changchun, he would be in big trouble. If he married Princess Changchun, what would happen to Princess Xunyang's reputation? It was even more needless to say if he married Princess Xunyang.

Hehe...good idea!
"Next, that bitch is going to use a honey trap on me."

Xia Daosheng was sitting in Chuntao's yard eating grapes. They were real grapes, the kind grown in his own yard. They were very sour but quite appetizing.

Chuntao sat beside him and prepared pens and ink for him to practice calligraphy. Xia Lin practiced calligraphy every day, mainly because his handwriting was very crooked and would be too ugly without practice. Practicing calligraphy while copying scripts for the theater was a win-win situation.

"Why is it a honey trap?"

"It can't be a beauty trap, right?" Xia Lin counted on his fingers and said, "He is not a good person. His biggest problem is that he is heartless and disloyal. Hey, Chuntao, do you know Shuixian?"

"Yes, I know her. We are very close. Why did you suddenly mention her?"

"Yes, he gave her to Gao Shilian, who then gave her to the new envoy sent from the grassland."

Chun Tao was shocked: "She...how did the master know?"

"The new envoy was a good friend of mine on the grassland. He wrote to me and asked if I wanted one. He said his wife was very fierce and it would be troublesome to bring a Han woman back."

Chun Tao immediately asked curiously: "What did the master say?"

"Of course I want her. Judging from your names, you should be from the same series and have a good relationship. It would be nice to call her over to help you and take care of you." Xia Lin leaned over and said with a smile: "But if you don't have a good relationship with her, I will arrange for her to go somewhere else. It's not a big deal to place someone there anyway."

"I have a very good relationship with her, like sisters. But I never thought that Narcissus had such a rough life... I feel sad when I think about it." Chuntao's expression looked a bit sad, "Narcissus is much better than me. She has been the best one since she was a child."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, when she comes over, you just need to settle her down and that's it. I won't interfere."

"Master, you don't have a servant by your side, why don't you let her go to you?"

"That won't do." Xia Lin waved his hand and said, "People are not worried about scarcity but about injustice. If Chuntao was still a slave, it would be fine if she came. Now that Sister Chuntao has escaped from slavery, but Shuixian, a slave, is still by her side, I'm afraid she will suddenly kill me with a knife one night. But I'm afraid we can't add anyone to the Yellow Book this year. The book was closed in the middle of the year, and I'm afraid it won't be her turn next year. Newborns and migrants will be given priority. Slaves may have to wait at least three years before they can be converted to free people. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Chun Tao understands. Then I will thank you on behalf of Shui Xian."

Xia Lin hummed and said without being polite: "Let's talk about Ye Liangchen again. Why do I say that he would use the beauty trap? It's because he really has no cards to play. In terms of status and position, I wouldn't say I am much better than him, but at least I am on par with him. In terms of wealth and power, ten Ye Liangchens are not enough for me. In terms of connections in the court, he has Gao Shilian behind him, and I have Guo Dad behind me. Both of them are third-rank officials. One is civil and the other is military, so we are on par with each other. So what do you think he relies on?"

"Hmm~ Chuntao doesn't know."

"Of course it's by women. Could it be by his flirtatious and curvaceous little butt?"

Hearing this, Chun Tao burst out laughing: "Master, what you say is really interesting."

"The only beauty around him is Princess Xunyang. Let's be honest, she is really beautiful, but her brain is slightly better than a dog's, but it's limited. She might really listen to Ye Liangchen and lean on me. I tell you, if it weren't for Sister Chuntao, a young man full of blood and vigor would not be able to resist a woman of that appearance."

Chun Tao was stunned: "Is it related to me?" "Of course, if it weren't for Sister Chun Tao squeezing me dry every day so that I could handle official business without distractions during the day, I wouldn't have achieved what I have now."

When Chuntao heard that, her cheeks naturally turned red. She probably knew that Xia Lin had seen through her little thoughts, so she felt naturally ashamed.

Xia Lin laughed and lay down on the bamboo bed. "So that's why Ye Liangchen is so vicious. You see, I disgust him, and that's all. It makes me feel good, and it doesn't have much impact on him. But he wants to disgust me and torture me to death. Apart from anything else, Sister Chuntao, do you know that if I really sleep with Princess Xunyang, I will be finished."

"Hmm..." Chun Tao nodded: "I'm afraid the prince won't agree. After all, His Majesty has spoken clearly about you and the little princess on the dragon boat."

"Little Princess." Xia Lin corrected her, "Don't call me that again. If someone hears you, they will think you are being disrespectful. It's not a big deal, but it will be troublesome."

"Well, Chuntao knows..."

"In fact, it's not just the prince's side, I can't explain it to His Majesty either. Moreover, as a proper princess, if I sleep with her, I will definitely become the prince consort. It has to work out, even though Xiao Ye also slept with her, but she didn't make it public. But for me, someone will make it public for me."

"Then why doesn't the master help him to make it public?"

"Silly sister." Xia Lin pinched Chuntao's waist and said, "If the princess admits this, then it's public. If the princess doesn't admit it, it's slander, don't you understand? If I tarnish the reputation of the royal family, then even the king of heaven can't save me."

"I see~" Chun Tao sat on the bamboo bed and thought: "What should I do now?"

Xia Lin laughed, hugged Chuntao's slender waist from behind, leaned behind her ear and said, "Then it depends on Sister Chuntao's ability."

There is no need to describe the love of midsummer and spring, except for the wind blowing the tuberose and shaking the falling evening dew.

Ye Liangchen did not show up the next day. The inn's spies said that he had not left his room for a whole day and night, and even the meals were delivered to the room. It seemed that he was concentrating on writing a plan.

It just so happened that the bulk of minerals from Caoyuan finally arrived today. Caoyuan was obviously very satisfied with the deal, and Xia Lin was naturally also very satisfied. Both parties were afraid that the other party would go back on their word, so the deal was completed very quickly.

Seeing the ore arriving at the dock, Xia Lin finally smiled seriously. Fertilizer and gunpowder are coming soon.
He had people transport the vast amount of ore to the processing site as quickly as possible, and the rest was to refine these things. Then there were nitrocellulose, ammonium nitrate, mercury fulminate, passivated nitroglycerin, and of course the very important detonator.

The combination of these things is the necessary condition for a big explosion. If they are far away, use Kassan rockets to bomb them; if they are close, use shotguns for close combat. Even if this cannot drive the cavalry of this era out of the stage of history, it can at least make them afraid.

In addition to weapons, what is more important is fertilizer. A large amount of minerals will be transported here continuously in the future. These minerals that are of no use to the grassland can double or even triple the grain production here, and increase the average yield of less than 200 kilograms per mu to more than 500 kilograms per mu. After a few years of hybrid rice cultivation, after completing multiple generations of breeding, a yield of 800 kilograms per mu will not be a problem.

Ah, yes… Peas and sorghum are also excellent crops that can be cultivated. Xia Lin’s goal is to plant grain all over the country, both inside and outside the Great Wall, before the ocean is built.

The demand for fertilizer is extremely high. If the supply depends solely on grassland, one Fuliang is definitely enough, but no more than that. Production is a huge problem, so the Western Regions still need to be developed. However, the situation in the Western Regions is too complicated now. In addition, the strength of the middlemen in Persia is extremely strong. Most of the Western Regions are more pro-Persian and alienated from the Central Plains.

Don't worry, there will be a way to make them open the door to free trade. If you can't raise them well, how can you stew them well?
However, now both explosives and fertilizers are a bottomless pit of investment, requiring a huge amount of manpower and material resources to be invested before seeing results. Xia Lin would not be able to handle it even if he had three heads and six arms, let alone a mobile phone, not to mention that he also has to deal with interpersonal relationships like Ye Liangchen.

While Xia Lin was waiting at the chemical plant to start up the first boiler, Ye Liangchen was brainwashing Princess Xunyang repeatedly, trying to persuade her to try to get close to Xia Lin and even seduce him.

Of course the princess was unwilling. Their Tuoba family was full of love-brained people, but the love-brained people really couldn't withstand PUA. After Ye Liangchen's repeated persuasion, she really agreed.

"No matter what, you can't dislike me."

Princess Xunyang looked very pitiful, but Ye Liangchen just smiled and said, "Don't worry, how could I dislike you? You are the princess of a golden branch and jade leaf. I can't thank you enough for helping me."

"Then...what if...what if..."

"It's okay, the baby will be mine." Ye Liangchen said firmly.
