At this time, Long Yan.
Liu Zheng hugged his son with a big grin, making faces to make him laugh.
"Liu Zheng, don't make faces every day, or you'll scare Gan'er."
Liu Zheng's son was named Liu Gan. It is said that Feng Sanniang had someone calculate the name. Liu Zheng and Xie Chan, a couple who had a close Buddhist relationship, had no intention of changing Feng Sanniang's name, so it was decided. Come down.
After all, Liu Zheng and Xie Chan don't have much talent in naming.
"Qian'er, look at your mother saying I'm scaring you again, show your mother a little face."
Liu Zheng teased little Liu Qian with a big smile.
Xie Chan slapped Liu Zheng on the back angrily, hugged her son, and said to Liu Zheng fiercely: "Go, don't tease him like this all the time."
He turned around and looked at Xiao Liu Qian with a smile, and said softly: "Good boy, let's drink from grandma."
Xiao Liu Gan stretched out his two little hands and hugged her.
Xie Chan turned around and looked at Liu Zheng, who was a little aggrieved, and said, "It's not a big deal for you, Long Yan, to carry us on your back every day."
"Liangzhou has asked you to go there several times, and there is also the emperor Long Yan. Xie Ming deserves to die, but those royalists, after all, are still somewhat powerful in our Long Yan."
"If you don't appoint a new emperor every day for a long time, something will happen easily."
"Especially that King of Qin Xie Zhao. I see that he has been very closely connected with the ministers in the court recently. Does he want to be the emperor?"
Liu Zheng straightened his back and said, "If I don't nod, no one can become Emperor Long Yan."
Xie Chan rolled her eyes at him and said as if coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, I know you are tough, so you should go to Liangzhou and have a look. Those crazy people in Liangzhou laboratory may be creating something terrible again."
Liu Zheng thought for a moment and nodded. It was indeed time to go and have a look. The Liangzhou Laboratory might actually have developed something interesting now.
There is also electricity. I don’t know how well they have studied it.
But looking at Xie Chan, she said: "Everyone who works now has three months of maternity leave. What's wrong with me, Long Yan, the chief assistant, taking two days off? Anyway, all matters big and small are decided by the cabinet and the Senate. I only need to control the direction. "
Xie Chan rolled her eyes at him and said nothing more.
Liu Zheng chuckled: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go back to Liangzhou now."
"But not today, isn't it, son?"
Liu Zheng made a face again, making Xiao Liugan, who was drinking his grandma, slap his little hands.
Xie Chan glared at Liu Zheng.
Three days later, Liu Zheng and his family set off from Qingzhou back to Liangzhou.
And at this time, on the other hand.
The royalists were hiding in a corner of the capital, discussing important matters.
"When will we take action? When Liu Zheng returns to Liangzhou, what chance will we have?"
Someone said coldly: "Do you think we are qualified to fight against Liu Zheng?"
"We must not fight against Liu Zheng. Our goal is just the throne. There is no need to fight against Liu Zheng."
"With his prestige in Longyan, we can't possibly attack him. What we want is the current powerful Dragonyan, not a chaotic Dragonyan."
"So what do we do now?"
"We can't kill or fight. Do we just have to submit a letter now?"
Everyone fell into silence. Since Liu Zheng's series of reforms, the land of their royalist faction, the feudal nobles with hereditary titles, has been divided.
In the history of Long Yan, there have been many times when the vassal was reduced, but this time it was different.
In the past, when the vassal was abolished, the land was returned to the state or the emperor. However, Liu Zheng's vassal reduction this time was not to expropriate the land, but to enfeoff the land.
Former commoners got land in their hands.
Then there is the re-change of power. Long Yan's power has also been greatly changed due to Liu Zheng's changes, and the emperor has been sidelined.
Liu Zheng's constitutional monarchy has gone beyond the monarchy.
The power in their hands as royalists has also been weakened. On the surface, they are still the supervisors of a certain department.
But the people under his command were the top talents of Long Yan selected through the examination system established by Liu Zheng.
Under such circumstances, the royalists lost their land and power.
Apart from the last apparent position, these old nobles only have this little fig leaf.
Prince Xie Zhao glanced at everyone with cold eyes and sighed: "If you can't fight, then let's talk!"
"I'll go talk to Liu Zheng. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll raise troops immediately while we still have some strength left."
…
Liangzhou.
It was once a poor place, but after Liu Zheng's governance, it has become the richest place in Long Yan.
Wealthy foreign businessmen can be seen everywhere. In the past, this kind of scene could only be seen in a few coastal cities in Longyan.
But now, Liangzhou is the place where foreign traders frequently visit. The weapons here, the fine wine here, everything here...
These are all very much needed by those traders.
These things of Long Yan are all products that can cause uproar abroad.
After Long Yan's intensive cultivation, these products of Long Yan have become necessities in Western countries, especially things like soap.
For those Western nobles.
This little soap is a direct tool to help them improve their dignity.
When attending a party, to put it in layman's terms, you would be embarrassed to go out without using Longyan soap.
Liu Zheng got off the train. This was a separate carriage set up for him on the steam train.
Looking at the steam train station built in Liangzhou, Liu Zheng was filled with emotion.
It has been almost a year since I left, and Liangzhou has changed greatly, becoming more prosperous than before I left.
There are many restaurants on the street, and the lanterns are all over the street. It looks extremely prosperous!
"When the lanterns here light up at night, it feels like you are in the sea of stars. Liu Zheng, it's a pity that you spent the Spring Festival outside and didn't have the chance to see it."
"But it's a pity that these lanterns are made of paper. They were blackened in one night."
Liu Zheng laughed and said: "Xie Chan, after a while, I will show you what a real lantern is."
As long as there is electricity and light bulbs can be made, ever-lasting lanterns can be made.
Xie Chan looked at Liu Zheng and said with a smile: "Don't wait until our son grows up before showing it to me."
Liu Zheng smiled and said nothing.
As the greatest discovery and application in human history, electricity experienced many difficulties before its discovery.
Now that the laboratory in Liangzhou already has capacitors, Liu Zheng believes that a power plant will be established in the near future.
Electricity can be produced.
Then the birth of the light bulb will not be too far away.
After thinking of this, Liu Zheng looked at his old housekeeper waiting for him in front.
He and Xie Chan got on the carriage and returned to their hometown in Liangzhou.
Liu Zheng looked at his old house and was slightly startled: "Is this our home?"
Xie Chan nodded silently.
"Dad said that our family is different now. The house must be luxurious to match your temperament, so our family has become like this."
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the splendor and carved decorations in front of him. Even the rivets on the door were plated with gold, making him look wealthy and powerful.
Liu Zheng's eyes were stinging when he saw it.
