Chapter 121 Designing a New House (Please recommend a ticket)
After Lin Xuan left, Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and then said quietly: "Li Mu, what do you think of Lin Xuan?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "Although the old slave didn't understand what the uncle of Jingyang County said, but since His Majesty thinks what he said is reasonable, then the talent of the uncle of Jingyang County is naturally good."
"It's really good." Li Shimin murmured.
Lin Xuan gave him advice a few times, and his talent is naturally worth mentioning, but this is not what he cares about.
Did Lin Xuan really think about the imperial examinations that he said today, or did he think about it before and just didn't say it?
……
When Lin Xuan left the palace, it was already dark.
Back home, Lin Dongyang and the others were waiting for him to eat.
Lin Dongyang asked: "Xuan'er, what's the matter with His Majesty calling you into the palace in such a hurry?"
"It's okay, His Majesty just asked me to talk about the marriage!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
There are some things that Lin Xuan doesn't want to tell them, it's not intentional to hide, but it will only make them worry.
Zhang Qing happily asked: "When will Your Majesty plan to grant marriages to you?"
"I don't know, but His Majesty told me to go to court tomorrow, that's what I should be talking about." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Dongyang said in a depressed mood: "I heard that the princess consort lives in the princess mansion after she gets married. You should come back to see your mother more often in the future."
"Father, don't worry, there is no mandatory requirement that the princess must live in the princess mansion, and I will definitely bring her back to live in it." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
After the princess gets married, the royal family will build a new princess mansion for the princess, but there is no requirement for the princess to live in the princess mansion or the son-in-law's house.
In the Song Dynasty, in order to improve the status of the princess in her husband's family, the emperor made a decision, that is, to raise the princess' status in her husband's family by one generation, to the same generation as her father-in-law and mother-in-law.Then the consequence of doing so is that the princess does not need to look at her in-laws, nor does she need to serve her in-laws.
During the Ming Dynasty, the son-in-law would greet the princess four times a day, and the son-in-law's family would also greet the princess with royal gifts.
The Qing Dynasty was even more extreme. Even sleeping with the princess had to apply, and you could only sleep after you passed it, and there was a time limit for having sex.
It’s okay if the time is short, but it’s tragic if the time is long. It doesn’t matter if you finish your work, you must stop when the time comes.
Compared with these dynasties, the Tang Dynasty is considered good.
Lin Dongyang said hesitantly: "Can the princess agree to this?"
"Father, Princess Changle is very gentle and virtuous, she will definitely agree. If she doesn't agree, I won't marry!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Zhang Qing slapped Lin Xuan with a smile, and said, "Nonsense, your majesty bestowed a marriage on the grounds that you said you would not marry a daughter-in-law."
Lin Xuan chuckled, but didn't speak.
What he said was true, if Li Lizhi didn't even want to do this, no matter how much he liked her, he wouldn't marry her.This is a matter of principle that has nothing to do with love.
After eating, Lin Xuan returned to the yard.
Xiao Hei smelled Lin Xuan, ran to Lin Xuan wagging his tail, and threw himself on him.
Lin Xuan looked at Xiao Hei, a little surprised. It's only been 20 days since he saw him, and he has grown a lot. Is this a two-month-old dog?A five-month-old baby can't be so big, can it?
"Xiao Hei, how did you grow so fast?" Lin Xuan exclaimed.
"Wang...wang..."
Xiao Hei yelled twice in a daze, expressing that he could not answer this question.
"Son!"
At this time, the two girls Chunyue and Yuhe also came out when they heard the movement.
"Chunyue, how does Xiao Hei grow so fast?" Lin Xuan asked.
"My lord, the slaves don't know, but Xiao Hei has grown so big before he knows it." Chunyue said.
Lin Xuan didn't get too entangled in this issue, he guessed it should have something to do with animal taming.
When Xiao Hei is older, he can capture Cang left and lead Huang right, and go shopping like a dandy.
No, Xiao Hei is a black dog, and he should be captured left and right.
That's not right, I don't have an eagle yet!One day I have to get an eagle to raise it.
"My lord, are you alright?" Chunyue asked worriedly seeing Lin Xuan standing there blankly, Harry's child was about to flow out.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, and said awkwardly: "It's okay, what can I do, the young master is not here these days, do you two little girls miss me?"
These words were a bit frivolous, Chunyue and Yuhe lowered their heads shyly.
Seeing their appearance, Lin Xuan found it very amusing, and teased, "Have you thought about it?"
Chunyue has been with him for so long, and she is more open than Yuhe, blushing and whispering: "I think about it!"
"Ha ha!"
Lin Xuan smiled triumphantly, looked at Yu He and asked, "Yu He, don't you miss your son?"
Yu He didn't dare to lift her head in shame, and said in a low voice, "I think so."
If it weren't for Lin Xuan's good ears, he really wouldn't be able to hear her.
Lin Xuan didn't continue to tease them, and said: "Go and prepare hot water, son, I want to take a bath!"
"Yes!"
Chunyue and Yuhe agreed and fled.
……
Under the service of the two little girls, I took a comfortable bath.
After taking a bath, Lin Xuan walked towards the study with a relaxed expression. (Don't get me wrong, he didn't do anything, he just took a hot bath, at most he asked the two of them to rub his back, absolutely nothing else.)
In the Tang Dynasty, due to backward methods and low output, sun-dried sea salt was not popular, and most of it was mineral salt.
There are many salt mines that contain many harmful substances due to geological reasons, which is also the reason for the low salt production in the Tang Dynasty.
And the method of making salt he told Li Shimin was to extract edible salt from poisonous salt mines.
Nine out of ten salt mines in Datang are poisonous salt mines. As long as the impurities in the salt can be removed, the salt produced by the salt mines can definitely meet the needs of the population of Datang.
The method is also very simple, nothing more than filtration and purification.
He can also get sea salt, but he doesn't plan to take it out now.
In addition to helping Li Shimin solve the problem, he makes salt. Another point is that the main business of the Cui family is salt.
Although salt is monopolized by the state, it is illegal to sell private salt, but this kind of thing has been banned repeatedly in the past dynasties. In addition, the state's salt cannot meet the needs of the people, so Li Shimin has no choice but to turn a blind eye to this matter. up.
The Cui family sent someone to assassinate him, of course he couldn't just let it go.
Proposing the reform of the imperial examination is only the first step, and making salt is the second step.
The Cui family's old nest is in Shandong, which is close to the sea, and the Cui family's salt is all sea salt.
The extraction method of sea salt is very simple. If he can get it now, it will be cheaper for the Cui family.
Lin Xuan wrote clearly how to filter and purify, including drawing some tools.
After finishing these, he did not go to sleep.
A new house will be built soon, and he is going to draw a design drawing.
He is not going to use the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty to build it, he is going to build a Jiangnan garden style house.
Building a house in ancient times requires a lot of attention, and it can be overstepped if you are not careful.
Then if I build a style that doesn't exist now, I can't find any faults.
As long as he doesn't build too high, no one can trouble him.
As for learning from other timetravelers and building something in a modern style, he never thought about it.
The ancients may find it novel, but he has long been tired of living in it.
Jiangnan gardens are outstanding representatives of Chinese classical gardens, which clearly reflect the Chinese people's outlook on nature and life.The classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River represent a model of the artistic achievements of Chinese classical gardens. It embodies the diligence and wisdom of Chinese intellectuals and skilled craftsmen, and contains philosophy such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, religious thoughts, and traditional arts such as landscape poetry and painting.
Although Lin Xuan doesn't know how to design houses, he once visited Suzhou gardens, so he can just paint according to the appearance.
Drawing blueprints is not an easy job, and he is going to build a house of tens of acres, so he can't draw it all at once.
When he felt a little tired, Lin Xuan went to bed, and had to attend the morning court tomorrow.
