Kai Fu Han

Chapter 527

On February 27, Liu Xinqi took a rare day off for himself.

Mother Liu went to work in the League Department, while Zhou Yue stayed at home.

After learning that Zhou Yue was pregnant, Luo Chengcheng didn't dare to let Zhou Yue continue to work. Now Zhou Yue's deputy, Si Lianxiang, is in charge of the Ministry of Education.

This woman, Liu Xinqi, remembers that she was one of the three women who passed the first official recruitment examination.

Compared with the other two noble ladies, Si Lianxiang had the worst background. She was once the daughter-in-law of a scholar. The scholar died suddenly because of studying day and night. Si Lianxiang was said to be a concubine and never remarried.

Zhou Yue introduced to Liu Xinqi that Si Lianxiang was a workaholic. After he became an official, many matchmakers came to the house to introduce his husband's family. However, because Si Lianxiang had a bad marriage experience, his husband's family treated him very harshly after his death, so I vowed not to marry again.

"I can support myself." This was Si Lianxiang's mantra when facing the matchmaker.

After Si Lianxiang entered the official system of the Xinghan League, she established her own household registration independently. She was protected by the government and her husband's family did not dare to cause trouble. This allowed Si Lianxiang to devote himself wholeheartedly to his work.

After the year-end settlement of the previous year, Zhou Yue took the initiative and gave Si Lianxiang one of the general cards assigned to the Government Affairs Council, which made Si Lianxiang even more powerful.

With his outstanding talents, he rose to the position of deputy minister of education like a rocket.

There is something "feminist" about my daily actions.

"I'm just worried that Sister Si doesn't have children. Who will take care of her when she gets old?" Zhou Yue touched her belly and thought of Si Lianxiang.

I didn't realize it before I was pregnant, but now that I'm pregnant, I feel so pitiful that Si Lianxiang doesn't have a child.

"When a government official retires, the league will continue to pay her a monthly salary until she gets old, so there is no need to worry about her pension. If she has money, she will have no one to take care of her." Liu Xinqi held the newspaper in his hand and chatted with Zhou Yue while reading it.

"Hey, I know that too, and there is a nursing home in the league now. I just feel that as a woman, it feels incomplete if she does not experience giving birth to children once in her life." Zhou Yue said.

"Everyone has his or her own way of living. There are too many people in this world who live their lives alone. All we can do is to make the people less miserable. Even gods can't solve the problem of being alone." Liu Xinqi argued. .

There will be tens of millions of singles in future generations. Let the government find wives for them wherever they can, but it cannot make a big difference.

"I think Sister Si is quite good. She is pretty and has a good figure. She is more prudent than me in doing things and considers problems thoroughly. I heard she can also cook good food." Zhou Yue had a sudden thought: "Otherwise, husband, you Accept her, since I'm pregnant now, I can't sleep with you."

Liu Xinqi put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Zhou Yue speechlessly.

Looking for a baby for your husband...

Liu Xinqi felt very strange.

"What are you thinking about every day? Didn't I tell you that I plan to implement a monogamy system from now on. Apart from you, I will never have another woman in this life."

"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, besides, my husband, if you have built such a big business, if you can't have a full house of children, outsiders will say that I am a jealous woman." Zhou Yue said aggrievedly.

"If you want to have children and grandchildren, then give me a good birth and don't bring up this topic again." The two have different values, and Liu Xinqi doesn't want to continue arguing.

In fact, to be honest, Liu Xinqi has never thought about three wives and four concubines, but people are not animals after all. Marrying a woman without caring for her is no different from buying an inflatable doll.If he took good care of his three wives and four concubines, then Liu Xinqi basically wouldn't have to do anything else. Even if he spent all day among women, he probably wouldn't have enough time.

"I did it out of kindness, so just bear with it." Zhou Yue got up and went to the kitchen to help the old concierge cook.

Liu Xinqi chuckled. It is best not to reason with a woman during pregnancy.

He focused his mind on the newspaper in his hand, which was an industrial and commercial newspaper published on February 23. The newspaper published the gross industrial output of Xinghan League last year.

In 3827 (the third year of Jingyan), the total steel output of the Xinghan League reached 500 million kilograms, exceeding the total steel production before Zhao moved south.

The total output of silk, cotton, linen and other fabrics reached 970 million pieces. Thanks to the Xinghan League's large-scale planting of apocynum in the hills and mountains, linen production accounted for [-]% of the total fabric output.

According to the report, more than [-]% of these outputs were created by Denglai and Denglai prefectures. It is precisely because of the industrialization of these two prefectures that the per capita supply of one piece of cloth for the people of the Xinghan League was guaranteed.

The total grain output has reached 6000 million quintals. Based on the population of 1000 million years ago, the average per capita grain is six quintals, which is enough for self-sufficiency.

In addition to the output of steel, cloth and grain, the business daily also published last year's total output of coal, meat, fish, salt and other materials related to people's livelihood.

Overall, the total agricultural and industrial output value of Xinghan League is almost the same as that of Nanzhao.

However, this was achieved despite a population gap of six to seven times, which shows the power of industrialization.

Liu Xinqi knew in his heart that this was only the preliminary manifestation. When steam engines were used on a large scale, the total output value in the next 3828 years would definitely exceed that of Nan Zhao.

As for other countries such as the Jin Kingdom, Puppet Qi, Xixia, Mongolia, and Western Liao, the gap is even greater, while Goryeo and Japan are not worth mentioning.It is estimated that these combined cannot keep up with the output of Xinghan League in half a year.

The war is about logistics and national strength, and the Xinghan alliance is strong and strong, so it is natural to win.

"time to eat."

"coming."

Liu Xinqi sat in front of the dining table and saw four dishes and one soup on the table. The soup was chicken soup to replenish Zhou Yue's health.The dishes include a steamed fish, a plate of vegetarian stir-fried vegetables, a plate of stir-fried eggs and lettuce, and finally a large bowl of braised pork.

"You work so hard outside. What you made today are all your favorites. Eat more."

Everyone in my family has a warrior constitution, so the portions of the four dishes are very generous.Lu Congxue and Zhou Yue consume less and eat less every day. Liu Xinqi is different. He basically sleeps for an hour every day. The rest of the time he is either working or doing things. He has to eat four meals a day, each of which is what an ordinary adult can eat in a day. Appetite.

"You eat too." Liu Xinqi picked up the rice bowl and took a bite of the braised pork. It was almost the same as what he made, and it was delicious.

"How long will you stay here this time?" Zhou Yue asked while taking a sip of food.

"I'll leave tomorrow." Liu Xinqi continued to eat, while Zhou Yue stopped, calmed down, and finally did not say anything to save him: "Then please pay attention to your safety."

"Don't worry, there's no need for me to go to the battlefield now. There won't be any danger." Liu Xinqi comforted him with a relaxed expression, as if there was really no danger at all: "I'm just going to the front line to boost morale. It's just a blessing. There is no need for me to command the battle now."
