Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    I rolled a sleepy shoal 760 early in the morning, on the big bed.

    Pan Wei was awakened by a movement, and opened his eyes in a daze to see that the big yangma was getting dressed.

    "Honey, it's time for me to go back to my room." The Marchioness Elizabeth Turpin smiled at Pan Wei while getting dressed.

    Pan Wei originally planned to sit up, but suddenly felt a pain in his waist, so he simply lay down again. This big ocean horse is strenuously hurting his body when riding.

    European aristocrats have very contradictory attitudes towards marriage.

    They value virginity very much, because the eldest son must inherit the family business, so he must be his own.  But after the birth of the eldest son, the couple fulfilled their family obligations, and they can basically play their own things in the future.

    Of course, there are cases of jealousy, and there are quite a few. Killing an adulterer in a duel, or being killed by an adulterer, this kind of thing happens more than once or twice.

    However, judging from literary works, they always praise extramarital affairs, thinking that is beautiful love.  The jealous husband, the man who loses his mind because of jealousy, is a villain that is ridiculed in literature.

    Pan Wei lived in the guest room of the Marquis's house as a distinguished guest.

    Face still has to be done, after all, the Marquis is also at home.  The Marquise touched her at night, and went back to her room in the morning, pretending nothing happened.

    Only when the ladies gather, the Marquise will show off and talk to her girlfriends about the performance of Chinese men in bed.  Just like hundreds of years later, a group of scumbags gathered to brag about which girl they dated.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    "Come in."

    After sleeping for a long time, Pan Wei was awakened by a knock on the door.

    The maid pushed the door open and said, "Sir, Master and Madam invite you to dinner."

    "knew."

    Pan Wei got up to get dressed, and the maid hurriedly served her.  It's a pity that I am not familiar with Chinese costumes, and the maid's service has become a mess.

    "I will do it myself."

    Now it is a private identity, and Pan Wei is not wearing an official uniform.  She was dressed in a gorgeous silk robe, tightly tied with a belt, and a jade pendant hung from her waist. She wore a small crown on her hair, which was fixed with a gold hairpin.

    This guy came from a rich family, and after a little tidying up, he became Mr. Pian Pianjia, who confused the Marquis.

    Arriving at the living room, the Marquis Le Tellier, the Marquis Elizabeth, and the Marquis' fourteen-year-old son Loire were already sitting neatly at the dining table.

    Le Tellier, the first French Minister of War.

    His son, Loire, will become France's second Minister of War.

    This father and son were the founders of the French professional army and the foundation for Louis XIV to become the Sun King.

    Prior to this, the French army only had companies, and the lords of various places refused to integrate into regiments, and the royal family could not control the army at all.  The greatest achievement of the iron-fisted Prime Minister Richelieu was the establishment of the Minister of War, the forced integration of the army, and the professionalization of the French army.

    Prince Kong Dai launched a rebellion, and local nobles responded one after another. In fact, it was a general outbreak of long-term conflicts.  The most important reason is the continuous reform of the army, and the royal family is constantly strengthening its control over the army.

    ? Pan Wei was ordered to sleep with the big horse, and he didn't sleep indiscriminately. He chose a specific target.

    Seeing Pan Wei coming to the dining room, Letellier nodded and smiled, not minding his wife's cheating at all, but Pan Wei was a bit guilty of being an adulterer.

    "Please sit down." Elizabeth smiled.

    Pan Wei bowed his hands in return: "Thank you for your hospitality."

    Pan Wei is an outstanding student from Jinling University. He started to learn Latin before going to sea, and he did not delay his homework all the way. Now he can easily communicate in Latin.

    The family murmured words over breakfast, thanking the Lord for giving them food.

    ?Pan Wei did as the Romans did, and also read along in Chinese. He seemed very pious, but he was actually saying: "I really want to go back to Nanjing. The foreign food is so bad. It's not bad to eat something new, but it's really boring to eat every day."

    Everyone finished their breakfast quietly, and the table manners were quite particular.

    After filling his stomach, Le Tellier stood up suddenly, pointed to the gold medal on his waist, twisted his body back and forth, and said, "Pan, does my brand look good?"

    Pan Wei couldn't laugh or cry.

    Because of the Chinese missions, most of them wear jade pendants, which look very fashionable.  So the French nobles followed suit, but they felt that jade was boring, and only gold could reflect their status.

    The piece hanging from Le Tellier's waist was made by artisans.  The whole body is made of gold and inlaid with gemstones of various colors. The pattern is actually a pine crane, which makes Pan Wei feel awkward no matter how he looks at it.

    "Very extravagant, excellent work of art." Pan Wei smiled and praised.

    &nbnbsp; The imperial examination system broke the rule of the powerful in China.  The system of buying officials also broke the rule of the French aristocracy.

    A large number of emerging bourgeoisie and petty aristocrats crossed the traditional class restrictions by buying officials.  And the king also got rid of the constraints of the big nobles through these people.

    The more official positions are sold, the more the treasury will be filled, and the more successful the deprivation of power from the great nobles will be.

    However, there were also serious consequences. The emerging official class led to the beginning of the bourgeoisie in power.  At the beginning, it was only middle and low-level positions, and gradually high-level officials appeared, and when it developed to a certain level, a bourgeois revolution would break out.

    The French king, indeed, took power from the traditional aristocrats, but handed over power to the emerging bourgeoisie.

    ?Continuing to develop, the kings of France will be happy for two or three generations, and after a hundred years, the bourgeoisie will rule the world.

    Pan Wei didn't think that deeply, but he subconsciously felt that there was a problem.

    All official positions are bought, so whoever has the money is the best?

    The court is full of rich people, and everything they do is based on profit.  Can the people bear it?  After the rich take control of the court, will they feel that the king is too much of a hindrance?

    It is true that Pan Wei came from a wealthy family, and it is true that he wants to destroy Zhao Han's land system.  But he also has the bottom line of a traditional scholar. Imperial power must be maintained, and benevolent government must be implemented.  The princes of the imperial court must be gentlemen, and they must not be merchants covered in copper stink.
