Wu Nian sat back and looked up at the three of them.
Liu Xiang, Wu, and Chen seemed to have agreed in advance. Wu and Chen looked at Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang was also straightforward and said: "Brother, Zhen'er and Ya'er were childhood sweethearts. Now they have grown up. Please make the decision and arrange their marriage."
Wu and Chen both nodded.
Of course Wu Nian knew that his adopted daughter would be harmed by his nephew sooner or later. According to the customs of this era, a woman could get married at the age of thirteen.
It stands to reason that the two should have gotten married long ago, but they have been delayed for several years.
Now Wu Nian was still hesitant and said, "Isn't Ya'er only eighteen? How about waiting for another two years?"
"We can't wait any longer, they are all old girls." Mrs. Chen became anxious and glared at Wu Nian in a rare way.
"We can't wait any longer." Mrs. Wu nodded repeatedly and helped.
"Okay." Wu Nian didn't insist when he saw this. After thinking for a while, he said: "What auspicious day, you go choose it."
"Now that the couple is married, they have to start their own business. I will choose a big house and give them some slaves. By the way. I have already left 800 acres of land outside the city and three shops in the city. I will ensure that the couple have food and clothing. worry."
then. Wu Nian took over this matter and regarded Zhang Zhen as his son. Even though he has spent most of his time fighting outside these years, he has never forgotten this matter.
A man’s husband’s words are gold.
"Brother. Sister, I'm really tired of you for being so lazy." Wu didn't refuse, but just wiped her tears and said.
"We are siblings, what can we say?" Wu Nian glared at her.
Neither Zhang Zhen nor Li Ya have fathers. What Wu Nian said was the final word. Then they acted separately.
The slaves are easy to talk to, just give some away to your family. It's easy to talk about houses. The government still has some houses in the city, so you don't have to spend money to buy them.
Wu Nian personally selected a large house with three entrances as a wedding room for the couple.
This is a happy event, everyone in the family is happy. Even though Li Ya is quite thick-skinned, she feels shy at the moment.
Every time he saw Wu Nian, he blushed and ran away.
Wu Nian was a little depressed.
This girl liked me very much when she was a child, and she often hugged her and called her daddy. It’s true that women are not allowed to stay in college.
Wu Nian did not believe in fate, but he followed the local customs.
Wu and Chen found a fortune teller who was said to be very knowledgeable and chose an auspicious day for the young couple.
The twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month next year.
It will take some time.
Wu Nian's main focus was still on military and state affairs. According to his order, the captains of various ministries entered Meng Yuan and Huanglong Mansion, and had fierce conflicts with Meng Yuan's army.
Both sides suffered casualties, but there was no large-scale battle.
Wu Nian's goal was also achieved. This made Meng Yuan, Goguryeo, Fusang, and Chu all believe that Wu Nian's next target was Huanglong Mansion.
Fulfill Wu Nian’s long-held ambition.
"Expel the Tartars and recover Liaodong."
at the same time. Fuso's General Toyotomi did not just talk in vain. He indeed united the Goguryeo navy and blocked the ocean.
As a result, Li Tianbao and Songping Yishin's naval households could only stay near the port and coast to carry out daily training tasks, as if they were shrinking tortoises, and they were very frustrated.
Those foreign businessmen exchanged registered treasury bonds for silver, sold their fields and houses in Liaodong with a lot of money, and then disappeared without a trace.
Liaodong's maritime trade has basically returned to zero. This huge Shibosi Yamen became the Qingshui Yamen.
Liaodong's financial situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Sun Sang, the owner of the house, grew gray hair sadly.
Pressure from all directions is pressing on Liaodong. But Liaodong is a big solid iron ball. It was not crushed by the pressure. It was just a little more embarrassed and ugly.
no way.
I endure the cloudy weather for a while, just to clear the clouds and see the sun.
Once Wu Nian captured Goguryeo, he would become a dragon. You can stretch your body to your heart’s content and make waves.
Time flies, and it’s the end of the year again.
After accepting the officials' congratulations, Wu Nian closed the door and celebrated the New Year with his family.
It snowed continuously throughout the year.
According to the saying that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, this year is another year of good weather.
good sign.
The morning of the seventh day of the lunar month. Wu Nian was in the outer room of the bedroom, discussing Zhang Zhen and Li Ya's marriage with Liu Xiang.
In the charcoal furnace, the charcoal fire burned vigorously, dispelling the cold.
There are many invitations on the table. Wu Nian looked at the invitations one by one to make sure nothing was missing. After reading it, Wu Nian nodded and said, "I'll send someone to deliver the invitation right away."
"Yes." Liu Xiang nodded slightly, showing joy.
very nice. This is not just a matter for Zhang Zhen and Li Ya. It’s been a long time since there has been such a happy event at home, so it’s nice to be lively and lively.
suddenly. A soldier came to the door, bent down and said, "General. Sir Gongsun asks to see you."
"Oh? What a coincidence." Wu Nian laughed, found the one belonging to Gongsun Sang among the many invitations, stuffed it into his sleeve, said goodbye to Liu Xiang, and walked out to the main room.
Inside the hall.
Gongsun Sang is waiting. There is no charcoal stove in the room. Although he was wearing a winter coat, it was quite cold just sitting there.
"General." After hearing the movement, Gongsun Sang stood up and saluted Wu Nian.
"Sit down. What's the matter?" Wu Nian went straight to the main seat and sat down, raising his head and asking.
"I want to abolish the Shipping Department." Gongsun Sang sat down and went straight to the point. Finally, he explained: "There are too many officials and staff in the Municipal Shipping Department, and the monthly salary is a huge expenditure. There is no income. The general is plotting Huanglong Mansion again. I don't know if the maritime trade can be opened again in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. It is better to close it down. ,Cutting costs."
Wu Nian was very pleased that he had deceived him thoroughly. Even officials of Gongsun Sang's level believed that they were plotting against Huanglong Mansion.
Of course, the Municipal Shipping Department cannot be abolished. It is not easy to establish such an yamen and train excellent officials, so it cannot be abolished.
"It's easy to destroy, but difficult to build again. It's better to maintain it." Wu Nian shook his head and said.
Gongsun Sang opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but finally gave up.
Wu Nianxiao looked at him, took out the invitation from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Gongsun Sang, saying: "Don't be so sad. Tell me something happy. I will marry my daughter on the 28th and treat you to a wedding banquet."
Gongsun Sang was stunned for a moment before he realized that Wu Nian also had an adopted daughter.
Although it didn't work out, he was a little frustrated. But I am very happy to have wedding wine and dinner.
"Don't worry, general, I will be there on time." Gongsun Sang said happily.
"Yes." Wu Nian nodded with a smile.
After sending Gongsun Sang away, Wu Nian sent people to disperse the invitations. For a time, the entire Jiang County was in a sensation.
Every move of the king affects every aspect of the country.
And when Wu Nian marries his daughter, the people who can go out to have a drink are naturally the top big shots. Others are envious, and those who drink wine feel honored.
Time soon came to twenty-eight.
