This new son-in-law is so shameless that he directly asks for military quota and official position.
He also uttered wild words. Without his support, no one within five hundred miles of Zhangjiakou would be able to stay here. Anyone who dared to make a mistake would definitely not be able to return to the pass alive.
If the imperial court forced the base area, it would not be able to capture Xinghe City even if it sent 50,000 troops.
Such words were treasonous and unethical, and Geng Ruxi felt very uncomfortable in his ears.
However, he did not have an attack. He felt that Huang Yi grew up in a barbarian land and was not convinced by the king, so he needed to slowly teach by words and deeds.
After thinking about it later, I felt that Huang Yi's refusal to enter the customs was not necessarily a bad thing, otherwise just talking about the trouble would be enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.
Three days later, the Geng family father and son and Xuanda's civil and military generals returned.
Geng Ruqi was a little worried and concerned about whether the Battle of Daling River would start. As soon as he returned to Xuanfu, he checked the imperial newspaper.
After the wedding, Huang Yi did not go on a honeymoon. He was still busy with work and industrial progress.
Huang Yi confessed to Geng Yueru on her wedding night that she didn't have to go out or leave the house. She was free and could go wherever she wanted.
That night, Huang Yi took a good look at Geng Yueru's little feet. Fortunately, her family gave her the "Yangzhou Little Feet" and did not forcefully break off the toes and wrap them into deformities.
Huang Yi had already issued an order that no one was allowed to have their feet bound in the base area. Women such as Zuo Fanglian, Xiao Jiu, Ye Huiling and others who had their feet bound had already had their feet freed.
On the wedding night, Huang Yi first freed Geng Yueru's feet, and then immediately asked Geng Yueru's maid Haitang to untie Geng Yueling's foot bindings.
From beginning to end, Huang Yi couldn't figure out what bad taste caused a woman to turn her healthy feet into semi-crimps.
The person who started foot-binding should have his descendants cut to pieces!
The splendid history of Chinese civilization will also be overshadowed by such a disgraceful page! All Chinese people should be ashamed.
Geng Yueru and Geng Yueling were the happiest because they found that after getting married, their lives were happier than when they were in their parents' families.
To be honest, Huang Yi traveled to the Ming Dynasty alone. There were no elders or brothers and sisters here. Geng Yueru immediately became the master of the backyard after marrying, which is equivalent to the second largest figure in the base area.
Huang Yi never restricted the freedom of the two sisters. They could go wherever they wanted. If the distance was far, they would be escorted by dozens of female cavalry led by Baoler or Aqi Dolan.
The ancients had deep-rooted ideas about the superiority of elders and younger ones. Aqi Duolan and Bao Leer had never had any inappropriate thoughts and were very satisfied with their status as concubines.
They call Mrs. Geng Yueru and Mrs. Geng Yuelingru. They go to greet them every morning and obey their orders.
The autumn harvest in the base area is about to begin, and all men and women over ten years old have to get busy.
Schools will also be closed, and all primary school students will have to participate in the autumn harvest. Children who don’t have the strength to do big jobs can carry bamboo baskets to pick wheat ears.
In order to preserve the harvest and allow all soldiers and civilians to harvest with peace of mind, Huang Yi will lead all off-duty cavalry soldiers to patrol all directions.
There were no idle people in the base area, but having dozens of them in his own house would have a negative impact, so Huang Yi planned to let the sisters go back to their parents' home to live for a month.
By the way, I brought along a generous gift for my father-in-law - a luxurious eight-carriage four-wheel carriage.
Huang Yi gave this low-key and luxurious carriage a good name - big car.
The mission of the Geng Yueru sisters when they returned to Xuan Mansion was not only to deliver a car to her father, but they also had to find ways to sell the car.
A car, not counting horses, weighs about four hundred kilograms. Huang Yi's price is relatively high. The weight of the carriage divided by two is approximately equal to the weight of silver.
The retail price of a car is two thousand five hundred taels of silver.
Is it expensive to sell?
In fact, they are not very expensive. They are all handmade by master craftsmen and adopt hundreds of new inventions that are unique in this era.
For example, spring shock absorbers, Eucommia rubber solid tires, steel ball bearings, steel steering shafts, glass sunroofs, windows that can be closed and opened by swinging up and down, white copper radiators, etc.
Not counting R&D costs, but only material and labor costs, without mass production, the cost of producing a large car is three hundred taels of silver.
hey-hey! How can we develop industry without producing big things like cars?
How can we develop faster and better without the support of high profits?
Geng Yueru and Geng Yueling are full of confidence in the limousine because they often test drive it during this period and feel that traveling in a limousine is much more comfortable than traveling in a sedan.
Of course it would be more honorable to go back to your parents' home and give your parents a big car.
Huang Yi has always advocated frugality, so the two sisters returned to their parents' home in a simple carriage. In addition to their respective personal maids and mothers-in-law, they were just two female cavalry guards with small flags.
The two of them brought four large cars, but only eight were produced in the base area.
Four are prototype cars, one is given to my father-in-law, one is used by the Geng Yueru sisters, and the remaining two are commercial products.
Geng Ruqi was filled with joy after receiving his daughter's gift, and took a bus to Baoan Prefecture for inspection that day.
After returning, Geng Ruqi repeatedly praised his two daughters for their filial piety, saying that the big car was a hundred times more comfortable than the eight-carriage sedan, and the speed was not much slower than riding a horse.
If all the officials in the feudal frontiers use this kind of transportation, the efficiency of their work will be doubled.
He believes that the base area will build large cars like this for sale in the future, and sales should not be a problem.
The Governor did not say that sales would not be a problem, but took practical actions. He bought one of the two large cars that his daughter brought for sale and gave it to the newly appointed garrison eunuch.
Geng Ruqi was a little depressed these days. After he was released from prison, he was promoted to Governor-General Xuan. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was abolishing the supervisory army and guarding eunuchs.
So in the past two years at Xuanda, Geng Ruchi basically kept his word.
However, this autumn, Emperor Chongzhen changed his original intention and appointed the eunuch Tang Wenzheng to supervise the military affairs in the capital. He sent eunuch Wang Yingchao and others to monitor Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan. He also sent Wang Kun to Xuanfu, Liu Wenzhong to Datong, and Liu Yunzhong to Shanxi to monitor the army and horses.
Chongzhen admired the great eunuch Zhang Yixian and asked him to explore and evaluate officials entering and leaving the Ministry of Household and Ministry of Works. He also built an official office for him, named "Prime Minister of Household Workers", which had the same power as the outside governor and the regimental admiral of the capital. …
For a time, the eunuchs who lost power due to the fall of Wei Zhongxian had great potential to make a comeback.
Why? Of course it was because the young emperor felt that the civil and military generals were bastards, so he had to send eunuchs to supervise them.
But how many eunuchs are not bastards?
Therefore, there is another group of eunuchs in the place who are unscrupulous in breaking bones and sucking out marrow.
Civil servants and military generals had to earn more money to unclog the eunuchs who supervised them.
The group of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was actually the same as the group of civil servants and generals. The same thing was that there were fewer people and more animals.
The demise of the Ming Dynasty was actually the result of the common corruption of these people in power.
