Chapter 707: You Wang Luocheng (Thank you for your support and
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xi still did not rush to make a judgment.
At least for now, maintaining the status quo is a good choice.
When the dawn passed through the narrow coastline, it revealed a bit of red on the distant sea level, and this red gradually turned into a faint white.
Yujiao, amidst the hustle and bustle, also began to fall into a brief calm.
The beauty you bloomed in the dark night also revealed its paleness in the dawn.
There are very few pedestrians on the street.
People who have worked hard all night will not get up so early.
Those who get up early are the hard-working people. They are the lowest structure of this city and are responsible for maintaining the most basic operation of this city.
There are very few fishermen left in Yujiao, but certainly not none.
Lin Xi opened the window of the room and frowned at the fishy smell carried by the sea breeze.
In modern society, the reason why coastal resorts have comfortable sea breezes is entirely because they have undergone a series of beautification treatments.
Obviously, although the current Yujiao seems to have some characteristics of a resort city, it has not yet reached that level.
After boarding the train back to Weicheng, Lin Xi ended her short vacation trip.
Perhaps originally, this journey could have been longer.
At least, in that hazy night, some heart-warming stories can be written.
However, due to various reasons, Lin Xi chose to end it like this.
Perhaps, this is a better choice.
Back in Weicheng, Lin Xi continued to live a simple and unpretentious daily life as if nothing had happened.
In addition to writing books, he also had to face harassment from his eldest brother Xia Houyu.
Of course, these are nothing.
The arrival of the eldest prince did not seem to cause the slightest disturbance.
Maybe he's gone, maybe he's not.
Lin Xi did not take the initiative to investigate.
Because it's not necessary.
On the contrary, seven days passed after the incident with the eldest prince.
King Youwang Luo Cheng comes to visit.
Luo Cheng's arrogance was not as high as that of the eldest prince. He took the invitation and went directly to the door.
Xiahou Mansion opened the middle gate, rang bells and drums to greet them, and the entire Xiahou Mansion was mobilized.
The Western princess who married Xiahou Mingde put on a Western dress that she had not worn for a long time, and greeted this noble guest with the most graceful attitude, trying to find a certain path for her son, and also wanted to put her own.
Daughter, introduce yourself to this noble guest.
Luo Cheng's response was very appropriate.
But it seems very far away.
No matter how much the princess tried to please her, she could never get any promise.
She is even encouraging her daughter to get under the covers at night.
For a princess who grew up in Western civilization, this is not a big deal.
It is common for children of noble families to have several lovers before getting married. Even after marriage, there are indeed many secret relationships.
However, the princess's plan failed.
Her daughter received orthodox Confucian education from an early age.
If you know your integrity, even if you have the intention to do something for yourself, you will definitely not be able to do something like getting under the covers.
Luo Cheng stayed at Xiahou's house for more than ten days.
It took more than ten days for him to become familiar with Lin Xi, and then he entered a state very similar to Xia Houyu.
Moreover, he has more problems and is more tricky.
Xia Houyu only asked some questions about the characters.
But Luo Cheng is different. He sometimes asks about the mapping of the social environment or even the characters behind the story.
He even quietly asked Lin Xi if he had any dissatisfaction with the Xiahou family's rule in Weicheng, if he felt that the Xiahou family's governance and management methods had flaws or loopholes, and if he secretly resented his father Xiahou Mingde.
ยทยทยทยท!
This is a bit over-interpreted!
Lin Xi said many times that she had never thought of it this way.
But it was obvious that Luo Cheng didn't believe Lin Xi's explanation. He seemed to show an "I understand" smile, and then changed the topic very "considerately".
Naturally, Luo Cheng also took the lead in arriving at Lin Xi's new book.
At this time, while flipping through the new book, he asked Lin Xi: "Brother Zun! Your book says that in the future, there will be an energy called 'electricity' that will become the darling of the new era. It will
Bring about greater changes than the steam engine."
"It can replace candlelight and replace the power of many instruments, bringing even more incredible changes to the world, allowing people who are far away across the ocean to communicate at will as if they were just a few feet away..."
"I think this idea is too romantic... In your description, it seems to be omnipotent. However, this is impossible, even a steam engine... its role is limited."
Lin Xi couldn't completely explain the principle of electricity to Luo Cheng, so he smiled and said: "My book is mainly about expectations and speculations about the future. Whether it is true or not is not important. What is important is... we need to dare to go
think."
"If we always remain conservative and hold on to past concepts and ideas without asking for change or accepting changes, then new things will never appear. Our current lead and advantages will gradually be surpassed and replaced."
Just like the first industrial revolution, the country became the number one in the world at that time.
Let it become an empire on which the sun never sets.
But because of this, they are immersed in this glory and gradually refuse progress and development.
The second industrial revolution was the rise of the hop country and the federal state.
Luo Cheng put down the book in his hand and smacked his lips in boredom.
He still prefers "The World in the Haze" to describe the world, describe the people, tell the emotions, and also tell the stories of those ordinary people in the ordinary world.
Regarding the future...he is not particularly concerned about it.
The eight kings with different surnames live together with the country. As long as he does not go wrong, any wealth and glory will be indispensable for him.
Perhaps this is also the mentality of most nobles.
"Okay! What you said makes sense."
"This book... you still plan to sell it! Do you need my help?" Luo Cheng asked.
Lin Xi thought: "I just need these words from you."
Without being polite, he replied directly: "Of course! With your help, my book can be quickly spread across the country. I hope that people who really like it will see it and give them ideas to find the kind of
The energy more powerful than steam will always make Xia Kingdom the top of the world."
Luo Cheng nodded and did not go into details.
Just helping to promote a book... no problem at all.
As for the few political issues described in the book, they are not too sensitive.
The parliamentary system of the Upper and Lower Houses even has a certain reference role for the current situation.
"Do you have any new book ideas?" Luo Cheng asked instead.
Lin Xi nodded and said: "Of course! Of course there is."
"The concept of my next book will be different from the previous two. It will have new changes and bring new directions."
