A series of things made me a little exhausted physically and mentally. Thinking that Zhang Liang was waiting, I ordered: "Call Zhang Liang in."
Seeing Zhang Liang Shiran walk in, I smiled and said, "Is the inspector doing well recently?"
Zhang Liang stepped forward and saluted, then smiled and said: "His Majesty has arranged everything, I just follow it, so why bother?"
I waved my hand and felt much better.
After Zhang Liang sat down, I asked him about business: "How is the cultivation of Henglu Road? This court meeting ended in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask in detail."
Zhang Liang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we have completed the Trinity. But the newly built road has already been visited by merchants, which has greatly promoted the exchanges between the three counties along the way and the life of Guizhou is getting better day by day." , are all grateful for His Majesty's kindness. In addition, influenced by the Henglu Road, other counties have also begun to actively build roads. Your Majesty's strategy is really a great talent!"
I chuckled and teased: "Even you can flatter me!"
Zhang Liang's expression did not change, and he said solemnly: "I said this from the bottom of my heart, and it is true!"
I smiled and didn't answer, and then asked him about his marriage: "You are twenty-seven this year, right? You haven't married yet, what are your plans?"
Zhang Liang was a little surprised. He didn't expect me to ask about such a thing. He said calmly: "Your Majesty, I travel in the mountains and forests all day long. If I marry a wife, wouldn't I be letting him down? I won't consider it until I have achieved success and become better in my career." Not too late."
Originally, I wanted him to meet Balingxian, but there were so many things going on, and I rarely left the palace at will, so I said straightforwardly: "How about I marry you?"
Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said without any hesitation: "Okay!"
"Uh..." This time it was my turn to be surprised, and I stared at him: "You agreed so happily, but it made me confused. What if you are lame or blind?"
Zhang Liangshi said: "I heard that Your Majesty likes to grant marriages. There is Miss Ying Lan in front of me, and there is the Taiwei's wife in the back. They are both a match made in heaven. I have long been envious of it. Now that Your Majesty bows down to propose marriage, I can't get it!"
...I was speechless for a while. What kid was spreading nonsense outside? Didn’t I just match up two couples? It sounds like I'm a matchmaker...
Zhang Liang's attitude really makes me wonder. Does he think I want to control him by granting him a marriage? It's understandable if he thinks so, but I mainly think about Baling and reassure Taoyao. Of course, there may be a little political consideration in it...
I went straight to the point: "Since you are so happy, I won't beat around the bush. She is Mrs. Ba's sister, Ba Ling. She is twenty years old this year. She is quite handsome but has a bit of a shrewd personality. When Mrs. Ba entered the palace, Ba Ling Ling changed her rural registration with her."
Zhang Liang nodded while listening. He cupped his hands and said, "Since she is Mrs. Ba's sister, I have no objection. As for the fact that she was a merchant, the emperor built the Nuhuaiqing Terrace for Ba Widow Qing, which has its own merits." , even if you are still a merchant, I don’t care!”
"That's very good." I suddenly remembered that Zhang Han, Zhang Liang, and I were all married to women who had been businessmen. I couldn't help but feel a little funny. Could it be that I had led this trend astray? But it's not a bad thing to slowly let the world accept businessmen. If an empire wants to develop and grow, it must be inseparable from a strong economy.
Thinking of this, I decided to explain it to him so as not to alienate the two of them: "You will go to Wanlixiang later, and I will arrange for someone to take Ba Ling there. I really want to find a good home for Ba Ling. I'm sorry." It’s a matter of concern for Madam, so you don’t have to make a decision in a hurry. It’s best if the two of you are in love with each other. If you have other concerns, I won’t blame you.”
Zhang Liang cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I understand, your Majesty is at ease."

After Zhang Liang resigned here, he slowly went to Wanlixiang. Yesterday, I ordered Ying Lan to take Baling there.
Ba Ling was playing with Wan Lixiang and Xiang Yun, and they had similar interests.
Just as they were enjoying themselves, Ying Lan came to the backyard and said, "Sister Baling, we have a guest. Come and meet the guest."
Baling tilted his head, handed the arrow in his hand to Xiangyun, trotted to Ying Lan, and asked curiously: "Sister, who is it?"
Just as Zhang Liang came in behind him, he immediately understood that the girl in front of him was Ba Ling. He smiled slightly and saluted: "Is this girl Baling? I'm Zhang Liang, please be polite."
Baling raised his eyebrows, thinking that this man was quite handsome. He leaned close to Ying Lan and whispered, "Sister, who is this?"
Ying Lan chuckled and introduced: "This is the Jiangnan Supervisor. Your surname is Zhang and your given name is Liang. You can call him the Supervisor."
Zhang Liang waved his hand and said: "My name is Zifang. People from Yingchuan are not in the government office. Just call me Zifang."
Ying Lan bowed slightly, stretched out her hand and said, "You're welcome, then. Mr. Zifang invites you to his room."
After the three of them sat down, Xiangyun also came in and looked at Zhang Liang curiously.
Ba Ling was outspoken and asked without waiting for Ying Lan to be polite: "Mr. Zifang actually has Chinese characters? Many people no longer use Chinese characters now."
Zhang Liang explained: "My status is a bit special. My family adheres to the old-fashioned system, so I gave me a name to make it easier to call me."
Baling nodded and asked curiously: "Are you the supervisor of Jiangnan? I heard that Jiangnan is very wealthy now. Is it true?"
Zhang Liang looked to the north, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to His Majesty's grace, under Your Majesty's wise decision, Jiangnan has become a prosperous place in the Qin Dynasty. Grain, silk, porcelain, tea, etc. are abundant and trade is prosperous. If you are interested, girl, If you come to the south of the Yangtze River, I will treat you well."
Then Ba Ling curiously asked many questions, and Zhang Liang answered them one by one. Ying Lan just looked at the two of them and smiled without saying a word.
Ying Lan: It seems that their personalities are compatible!
Baling: This man is quite handsome, knows a lot, and feels pretty good.
Zhang Liang: Could it be that your majesty deceived me? This girl has a gentle personality, how can she be aggressive? If you marry someone into your family, you will definitely be a good wife and mother!
Xiangyun: Shopkeeper, how do you sell soy sauce?
The two chatted for a long time, and Zhang Liang stood up and bowed: "It was a pleasure talking to the girl today. If I have the chance, I hope to see her again!"
Baling rarely showed a cute smile, and also bowed: "Mr. Zifang is very knowledgeable in school, and I hope to see him again!"
Ying Lan secretly laughed: "The title has become Mr. Zifang, it seems to be something fun!" '
After Zhang Liang left, Ying Lan explained in detail the matter of choosing a husband for her, and finally said: "Your Majesty and Mrs. Ba are always thinking about you, and have selected a good husband for you. If you are willing, I will go to the palace to report to Your Majesty and ask Mr. Zifang to come and propose marriage. What do you think?"
Baling didn't expect that today would actually be a blind date. He was stunned for a long time before he realized what was happening. He said angrily, "Sister, why didn't you tell me earlier? My clothes were wrinkled from playing with Xiangyun just now!"
Ying Lan smiled heartily: It’s done!
