The wine-fighting lasted for nearly half an hour. Zhao Yan ran to the toilet five or six times, and the officers he poured down were able to form a company.

The newly promoted officers watched their chiefs fall into pieces by Zhao Yan, and their admiration for Zhao Yan couldn't help but surge.

In the past, many people heard their superiors say how good the general's alcohol tolerance is. He didn't get drunk for a thousand bowls. He thought he was bragging, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Finally, with Zhang's appearance, the wine fighting came to an end. The guests were even more shocked and were amazed at Zhao Yan's alcohol tolerance.

Zhao Yan ran away, took a shower, washed away the alcohol on his body, and then rushed into the bridal chamber... After the evening dinner, he went to dozens of long tables, and the snacks were served in plates. The guests ate the snacks and chatted around their respective circles.

Wang Wenyue, who was lying on the table like a dead pig, suddenly raised his head, glanced around drunk, and suddenly laughed: "Haha! Fortunately, I'm smart."

Wang Wenyue's smile suddenly froze. When Zhi saw Zhao Yong, Lin Yi and others, he also moved one after another.

"Wang Guangguang, don't think that you are the only one who is smart. We haven't finished our wine yet, come again." Zhao Yong laughed and pulled Wang Wenyue to fight for the wine again.

An officer beside Li Ran looked at them one by one with a confused look on his face and asked Li Ran blankly: "Sir, why..."

"No reason. If you drink with the general, you can't beat him no matter how much you drink, so we have to pretend to be dead when we drink it. If we keep fighting, it will make you feel uncomfortable if you vomit in a while." Li Ran held a cup of tea and took a sip and said, "This is a bloody lesson!"

"Oh!" Everyone then understood.

"There is a fierce battle later, so eat something to be at the bottom." Li Ran ordered his subordinates.

When Zhao Yan left, those "resurrect" guys started to drink again, but this time they used a different way to make their younger brother go...the lower-level officers topped one by one.

Zhao Yan's wedding was so happy that they came from the bottom of their hearts. After Zhao Yan got married, he would have a son in a few years. With an heir, the group would not collapse.

After all, in this group, everyone only admires Zhao Yan. If one day Zhao Yan leaves, then no one is suitable for him to take office. The most suitable one is of course Zhao Yan's heir. Only then can people convince themselves and not fall apart.

However, whether there will be internal strife in Zhao Yan's son in the future is not a question they can consider now. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son has always inherited the family business.

Those senior officials who were born in literati were not worried about this issue. If they were based on the rules of the eldest son inheriting the family business, even if Zhao Yan's heir was incompetent, the current system of this group would be enough to operate on its own.

For a country, [***] is the most serious problem.

This basically goes beyond everything. Once [***] appears, it is very likely to cause irreversible consequences, which will damage the strength of the country in all aspects and will eventually turn into defeat and national failure.

Shandong has almost no need to worry about this issue [***]. Shandong has four major tricks to anti-corruption: one is public supervision, the second is reporting, the third is torture, and the fourth is to have high salaries.

The people have the right to require officials to make financial disclosure.

Anyone who reports meritoriously has the magnitude of rewards, which can often cost thousands of taels of silver, and the whistleblower can also apply for official protection.

Those who were found to be corrupt and bribery were being investigated and tortured are getting worse and worse. From the original beheading to the time when it was torture and then chopping them again, it will also cause trouble for descendants. It will never be hired by any official institution within three generations.

The salaries of officials are very high, twice as high as those of the Ming officials, and there are various other benefits, such as housing allocation. They will also reward land.

As long as this group maintains the momentum of integrity and technology development, it can continue to exist.

At the same time, the education of future heirs is impossible to teach some useless Confucius's way like the imperial court. Some basic principles can definitely be understood, so no matter how incompetent the future heirs are, this group can continue to exist.

It was only after ten o'clock in the evening that people dispersed one after another and returned to the Zhaojiabao guild hall to rest.

A group of officers in Shandong also drank like dead pigs, and were completely taken back by someone.

...The second day, a bright red appeared on the soft and warm mink blanket. Yuan'er lies in Zhao Yan's arms and slept very sweetly. This was the most stable time she slept.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhao Yan who was still sleeping soundly. Yuan'er felt like she was stuffed with something in her heart. She looked at Zhao Yan with joy, moved in Zhao Yan's arms, changed into a comfortable position, and continued to sleep in.

The young couple slept until after nine o'clock. Zhao Yan yawned and opened his eyes with satisfaction. He had been tossing very late yesterday... In addition, he was drunk yesterday, so Zhao Yan got up surprisingly late today.

He glanced at Yuan'er hiding in the quilt, snuggled in his arms like a lazy cat, with a slight smile in his pretty face.

Zhao Yan chuckled and reached out to pick her up.

"Hmm?" Yuan'er woke up sleepyly.

"Madam, get up." Zhao Yan smiled and Yuan'er said relentlessly: "I'm so tired! I want to sleep for a while."

"If you don't eat breakfast, you will get tired the more you sleep. Be good, get up." Zhao Yan picked her up and shouted to the outside: "Come."

Two maids with beautiful jass in the family came in outside. They were just last month, one was named Xiaolian and the other was named Xiaoyi. It turned out that Zhang only needed someone to serve him at home, and Zhao Yan did not need anyone to take care of him. Yuan'er has now become a regular, and Zhang has no one to serve him, and Yuan'er also has to find two maids to serve him, so she found four in one breath, two serving Yuan'er, one serving Zhang and the other serving Shalianna.

"What are the instructions for the master?" asked the two maids.

"Xiao Lian comes to wash the wife, Xiao Yi goes to prepare some breakfast," Zhao Yan ordered.

"Yes, Master."

Now that Zhao Yan is married, he is the real head of the family, so the maid has changed to call him Master.

Xiaolian quickly fetched a basin of water and started to wash Yuan'er. Yuan'er became a little more awake and saw Zhao Yan wearing clothes quickly, she asked, "Husband, where are you going this year?"

"The emperor is still here! I guess I have to accompany him around today." Zhao Yan said.

"The emperor is very restless! He definitely has no kindness to his husband, but he came to attend our wedding. Maybe he had any plans." Yuan'er guessed.

"I was worried about military expenses yesterday!" Zhao Yan said with a smile.

"Then did you give it?" Yuan'er asked.

"Give him eight million taels, which is also a normal military expenditure."

"Then he will train troops to attack us." Yuan'er said worriedly. Zhao Yan smiled and shaved Yuan'er's nose. "As the level of the imperial court, it would be good that these eight million taels can make a blister. You can have a good rest today! Let my husband deal with him."

"oh!"

After washing up, Zhao Yan and Yuan'er had breakfast together, then held hands and went to invite Zhang to a safe place, and then Zhao Yan went out to find Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was in a bad mood. Since he came to Zhaojiabao, he found that everything was not as simple as he imagined.

He met several businessmen last night.

Shandong has already squandered 10 million interest-free loans last year, and its ambition to revitalize industry and commerce has been fully revealed.

According to Zhao Yan's "About the Comprehensive Discussion on Industrial and Commercial Regulations", when industry and commerce reach a certain level, a country can directly break away from its dependence on agricultural taxes, thereby abolishing agricultural taxes and completely eliminating the occurrence of peasant riots. At the same time, after industry and commerce reach a certain level, it will greatly enhance a country's comprehensive strength and thus enhance its war strength.

Chongzhen could not get the interest-free loan of 10 million taels. Even if the commercial taxes come up, it would not be his own.

Moreover, Denglai's technology seems to have developed to a level of continuous progress.

What is technology?

Chongzhen learned about it through the technology sector of the "Da Ming Dynasty" but when he saw the arc light last night, he felt something was wrong.

Zhao Yan took the path of science and technology and developed textile machinery to increase productivity by a hundred times, and one person can complete what hundreds of people used to accomplish. Now he has developed electric lights to make people see and gain light at night.

The advancement in technology has allowed Shandong to create stronger guns and cannons.

Who knows what he will develop tomorrow?

As soon as Zhao Yan arrived at the guild hall, he immediately saw a girl who came with Chongzhen in the yard playing with two princes. The girl looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old. When she looked carefully, she turned out to be a palace maid.

Just say it! Chongzhen’s daughter is not that old.

Zhao Yan shook his head, ignored the two princes who were slutty and walked upstairs. Although he was the prince's junior master, the young guard, the young tutor, and the three Gu were all involved, he ignored the prince's intention.

Um!

Defeat Chongzhen!

This is his goal.

Zhao Yan smiled and took a few personal soldiers to the second floor of the guild hall.

"I will meet the emperor, long live the emperor..." Zhao Yan half-kneeled and proclaimed loudly, and Chongzhen's face flashed with a tragic feeling of death.

Why does this guy kneel every time? This guy is not wearing armor today!

"Zhao Aiqing, please calm down!" Chongzhen was still full of airs and said to Zhao Yan indifferently.

"Your Majesty, I want you to take you to visit various places in Shandong. If you talk about places and historical sites, Mount Tai is undoubtedly the most suitable." Zhao Yan said.

"I have the wisdom of knowing myself, and my public morality has not yet reached the time of Fengshan." Chongzhen refused, "These famous places and historical sites are not very beautiful. It is better to take me to visit the Science and Technology Academy."

Academy of Science and Technology!

This institution is mysterious in Chongzhen's eyes. Whenever I read the technological page of "Da Ming Yuebao", this institution will most likely appear.

What kind of institution is this? How do they conduct scientific and technological research?

Chongzhen now feels that the current development situation is very bad. The biggest variable is undoubtedly the scientific and technological research in Shandong. First of all, we have to understand how this science and technology institute conducts research. After returning, he can make people imitate it. I think... it shouldn't be too difficult...
