Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 752 Private decision for life

Su Chen wants to set up a college in Jinling. He plans to build a modern school in a quiet place in Xicheng District on the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River. He plans to build a brick building with several areas, including science and engineering, liberal arts, business and other majors. Talent.

Doing this is equivalent to rejuvenating the country through science and education. Although it cannot develop science and technology in a big way, it can popularize some social sciences within a certain scope, impart more knowledge, and open up government to the people. After all, it will be good for this nation and this civilization.

As for whether a feudal dynasty can firmly inform the people and fool the people at the bottom after imparting too much knowledge, this is not Su Chen's first consideration.

Because even if Su Chen finally became emperor, he did not want to prolong the destiny of his dynasty by enslaving the people.

That is a selfish, closed-door approach to the country and a trick to fool the people. It will only make this nation and this civilization regress. In the end, it may even bring misfortune and disaster to our own descendants.

How long a dynasty can last is not only related to the system, but also related to the degree of coordination between the rule of law and the rule of man. If the people's wisdom is broadened, the court officials dare not enslave the people at will, dare not care about human life, dare not stir up trouble, and dare not act arrogantly. Social conflicts will not be planned, but will contribute to the stability of the court and long-term peace and order.

These are Su Chen's thoughts based on history. As long as you have great love in your heart and don't make excessive demands or worries, you will have unexpected gains and accumulate blessings for your descendants.

For example, Qin Shihuang only focused on strict rule of law and tyranny. Under high pressure, excessive concentration of power and excessive suspicion would also affect the people around him to be arbitrary and tyrannical. When he dies, once there is a problem with the transfer of power, the dynasty will fall apart in an instant.

Su Chen flipped through the textbooks carefully compiled by Xu Qingwan, with admiration in his eyes.

He looked up at Xu Qingwan and said with joy in his voice: "Qingwan, these teaching materials you compiled are really outstanding and very suitable for our current needs. Once implemented, I believe they will have a profound impact on the people of the entire Southern Dynasty. Influence."

Xu Qingwan smiled like a flower when she heard her lover's compliment, and her eyes shone with joy.

She responded softly: "This is all due to your careful guidance. Many ideas and opinions in these textbooks were proposed by you. Especially this novel arithmetic method and the introduction of Arabic numerals, it is simply It makes calculations more convenient than ever. Moreover, your emphasis on medicine and your concern for people’s health are even more meritorious.”

It was precisely because of Su Chen's noble values ​​that he influenced Xu Qingwan and made the most talented woman in the Southern Tang Dynasty admire Su Chen.

The men that talented women like are naturally not ordinary men. They started with talent and ability and ended up with personality and moral character.

What Su Chen did was to care about people's livelihood, and had the ability and kindness to govern the country and bring peace to the people. Xu Qingwan felt that it was meaningful and worthy of happiness to be able to do something for him.

Su Chen shook his head gently, his eyes full of determination and recognition: "Qingwan, you really don't have to be humble. These textbooks incorporate not only my suggestions, but also your talents and profound understanding of society and history. Understand. You can take advantage of the situation, adapt to local conditions, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and perfectly integrate knowledge with the current social background. These are your unique contributions and you have done a very good job.”

His voice was full of sincerity and warmth, and every word revealed his deep appreciation for Xu Qingwan.

In Su Chen's heart, Xu Qingwan was not only a talented woman, but also a good match in his life and his endless blessing.

Listening to Su Chen's praise, Xu Qingwan's face flushed, and her eyes shone with happiness. She knew that her efforts and efforts had been recognized and affirmed by her lover, which was the greatest encouragement and reward for her.

She lowered her head gently, with a sweet smile on her lips, quietly enjoying this beautiful moment.

Xu Qingwan is not only outstanding in talent, but also has an alluring appearance. Under the soft candlelight, her face looked even more delicate and beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, charming and charming.

Su Chen's eyes couldn't help but fall on her body, and he was deeply intoxicated by it.

Xu Qingwan felt Su Chen's burning eyes. She looked up and met Su Chen's eyes. At that moment, there seemed to be an invisible force connecting them closely, and their hearts trembled. The two eyes intertwined, as if a spark was blooming, attracting each other, and could no longer be separated.

Su Chen couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed Xu Qingwan's lips tenderly.

Xu Qingwan closed her eyes shyly, and her delicate body trembled slightly. She instinctively wanted to dodge, but she did not do so after all.

Because she has been waiting for this moment for too long.

When Xu Qingwan learned the news about Su Chen's accident last year, her heart felt like a bolt from the blue and she was devastated. She felt like her whole world had collapsed and lost all color. During those days, she was mired in endless grief and unable to extricate herself.

Later, Xu Qingwan gradually came out of her grief and began to miss every moment of her past with Su Chen. She often regretted why she didn't marry Su Chen earlier so that they could have more beautiful memories to cherish and remember.

She even fantasized that if she could have Su Chen's flesh and blood, it would be the greatest comfort in her life. She could raise the child and accompany her for the rest of her life. The child embodies Su Chen's bloodline and will be her trust without regrets.

Now, Su Chen miraculously appears in front of her, continues to live in her world, and gets along with her day and night. Xu Qingwan knew that she could no longer hide from her inner feelings.

She decided to put aside all her worries and face her own feelings bravely. She was willing to let Su Chen pick up everything she had.

The two hugged each other tightly, immersed in a moment of tenderness.

Su Chen stared at Xu Qingwan affectionately and whispered in her ear: "Tomorrow I will send someone to the Xu Mansion to propose marriage. Choose a good and auspicious day within this month. You and Yongning will marry me together and we will be equal wives. How about that?" ?”

Hearing this, Xu Qingwan felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart. In the intoxicating feeling, she received a positive reply from Su Chen, which made her feel as sweet as honey.

She knew that this was Su Chen's sincere promise to her, to propose marriage and then become an equal wife. This was her dream all along.

"Well, it's all up to you!" Xu Qingwan responded softly. Although her voice was small, it revealed incomparable firmness and determination.

In ancient times, "three wives and four concubines" were emphasized. The three wives here meant "one wife and two equal wives." Any noble nobleman, limited by etiquette and institutional constraints, could only have three wives, and the rest could only be concubines. .

But the status of concubines is not high, so many women from wealthy families are unwilling to accept being concubines, but they can be wives. Therefore, when Xu Qingwan heard that she wanted to be an "equal wife", she was naturally willing to do so.

Su Chen didn't care about this anymore, because if he married a woman he liked, he would definitely not let them become concubines, but would give them the status of equal wives.

Anyway, this is the new Wu Kingdom regime, and Su Chen has great power. He can decide this on his own. If one day he can succeed as the leader of the Wu Kingdom, then these married women will become concubines.

Su Chen didn't leave that night. He sent the maid out, leaving a quiet space for the two of them. In this way, he slept in Xu Qingwan's room.

The two are in love with each other and have committed to each other for life. Although the wedding date has not yet come, driven by this deep love, naturally they do not have to wait until the wedding night.

The night was getting darker, the candlelight was swaying, and the room was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers. Su Chen was very fiery and Xu Qingwan was very gentle. It was an unforgettable night.
