A sudden family recognition is unexpected but everyone is happy. Some people think that the reason behind this family recognition is actually political wooing. Nowadays, the imperial court is weak, the people are not unified and the military is unstable. This kind of family recognition can tie up some people's hearts.
The relationship between Chang Yu and Qin Liangyu does not rule out these factors, but what is more real is that one is a heroine who respects the loyal family, and the other appreciates this rising star and the pillar of the country.
Even Li Muxian, who had been rolling his eyes in his heart, quickly realized that this acknowledgment of relatives to both public and private parties was a win-win situation for both parties. Privately, the two cherished each other because they had been friends for many years. The recognition of relatives took the relationship a step further. With the relationship of acknowledging relatives, the Ma family and the Qin family will be more loyal to the court, respond to calls, and work hard. Also because of Chang Yu's relationship, the court will no longer treat the Ma family and the Qin family poorly, nor will it neglect them. If you use it, you can use it after death, and Chang Yu will definitely take care of it.
Chang Yu and Qin Liangyu have gotten along very well these days. They are always polite to each other and treat each other with courtesy and never put on airs and show off. This makes Qin Liangyu have a very good impression of him. In addition, he appreciates his talent and maintains his attitude toward him. Due respect, not contempt because of his status as a eunuch.
Now that they have recognized each other, their relationship has taken a further step. She calls her grandma with open and closed mouths, and praises her grandchildren, which really makes people around her envious.
The news that the God of Shizhu and the Admiral of Dongchang were married soon spread throughout Shizhu City. The chieftain's house was filled with joy, and everyone in the city praised it. It became a good story for a while.
With the relationship of God, Qin Liangyu and Chang Yu chatted more widely. Sometimes they would curiously ask about things in the palace. Chang Yu didn't have anything to say about the emperor, so he just knew what was going on. I said it to satisfy the female general’s curiosity.
The most active person during this period was undoubtedly Li Muchian. He worked out a set of tricks to calculate good times and auspicious days. He also inadvertently revealed Chang Yu's family background. After learning that he was King Kaiping, Qin Liangyu was shocked and said: "Gao Pan It’s great, it’s great”.
The king of Zhongshan was Chang Yuchun, and his descendants first attacked the Duke and then the Marquis of Huaiyuan. How could the descendants of the old nobles of the dynasty enter the palace and become eunuchs? Someone around Qin Liangyu asked.
In fact, Li Muxian didn't even need to come out to deal with this matter. Qin Liangyu could find the answer himself: "Something happened to the Chang family in the second generation. It once spread the branches and leaves of the common people, and it is not impossible for some people to fall into this state."
In fact, even he didn't know whether Chang Yu was after Chang Yuchun. Anyway, he posted it, and Chang Yanling also recognized it. As for the truth, it didn't matter anymore.
These days in Shizhu may be the most comfortable days that Chang Yu has ever traveled through. Shizhu is like a paradise, with natural dangers blocking all natural and man-made disasters. Most of the people here are Tujia people, and their lives are more prosperous than those in the outside world. More, if they didn't interfere in the external war, they might really be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
"In addition to respecting General Qin, when you recognize a relative, there is another deeper meaning, which is to exchange favors for food, grass, military pay, and soldiers and horses." On a wall outside the city, Ji Jike and Qing Yi sat on it and had a bird's eye view of the distance. The people working everywhere were whispering.
"I don't understand." Qing Yi shook his head: "But the female general is a very good person. Even poor people want to recognize her as their grandmother."
Ji Jike chuckled: "You don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive when you are not a family member. The court is currently short of money, food and men. It wants to defeat Zhang Xianzhong, but if it waits too long, Zhang Xianzhong may have secured his position in Sichuan and will not be able to get rid of him, so he is trying to defeat him." After breaking into the thief, they will immediately send troops to attack, but in such a short period of time, the court cannot breathe at all..."
"I understand," Qing Yi said, "At that time, female generals would have to provide food, grass, troops, and horses, right?"
Ji Jike nodded slightly.
What a huge favor!
"But considering the young governor's behavior, the food and salary will be paid back sooner or later, but the favor is still undecided. Fortunately, we are a family now, so everything is easy."
"Is the female general so rich?" Qing Yi scratched his head.
"Very rich!" Ji Jike nodded vigorously.
In today's terms, a chieftain can be said to be a wealthy local man, or he can also be said to be a local emperor.
The chieftains like Sha Dingzhou are very rich. They are not as rich as the super rich people like Mu Wangfu, but the ordinary nobles are really not as good as them, let alone the chieftains like Shizhu who have been passed down for hundreds of years and dozens of generations. It is a long-established wealthy family, comparable to ordinary vassal kings.
Self-produced and self-sufficient, abundant in food and clothing.
Shizhu was indeed very rich. For example, when Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan the year before last, Zuo Liangyu, who had 30,000 white-armed troops at that time, was defeated. In order for Shao Jiechun to send 20,000 troops, he was willing to pay half of the food and salary of 10,000 soldiers.
It is enough to show the degree of wealth.
But is Qin Liangyu really rich?
On the one hand, as a veteran chieftain, he should be very rich, much richer than chieftains like Sha Dingzhou, at least decades ago, but she is not that rich, such as in the past few decades.
the reason is simple
In the past few decades, starting from the Wanli Dynasty, whether it was against Yang Yinglong, Hou Jin, She Chongming, to the Chongzhen Dynasty when he went to Beijing to fight against the king, Shizhu's food, grass, soldiers and horses were all provided by himself!
Not even a penny from the imperial court was used. After the war, the imperial court did reward some gold and silver, but that was far from enough to compensate for the food and grass!
Therefore, Shizhu's remaining savings in the past few decades have been used to help the imperial court in various battles. The remaining savings are far inferior to those of chieftains elsewhere, but they cannot be said to be poor. At least they are richer than the imperial court. The imperial court now relies on Chang Yu to go around. They used trickery and trickery to collect military rations, but now Shizhu only has a few thousand soldiers, which is more than enough.
To be honest, Mingting owed Shizhu a lot.
On the fifth day after proposing to get married, Ma Wannian arrived after traveling across mountains and rivers. Chang Yu had left Fuzhou before and left him to take charge of the withdrawal of troops. I thought it would be an unknown year and month when we met again, but I didn't know that Ma Wannian had just left a few days ago. Then a servant came to tell him that his grandmother wanted him to go home and worship her.
When I first heard it, I was confused, but when I was sure, I was stunned.
It's not a joke to marry the eunuch of the current dynasty.
Of course it's not a joke, Qin Liangyu is not a person who likes to joke.
But how could his grandmother allow him to have sex with a eunuch, just because he was a powerful eunuch?
From a certain perspective, Ma Wannian admired Chang Yu. His demeanor, aura, knowledge and methods made him feel incredible but admired him extremely.
But he was hostile to eunuchs. This was an ancestral hostility. His grandmother Qin Liangyu hated eunuchs very much, and his father Ma Xianglin also hated them. He still hated them.
The source of this hatred is that his grandfather Ma Qiancheng died of illness in prison because he was falsely accused by an eunuch.
So both the Ma family and the Qin family hated the eunuch!
In fact, apart from this personal hatred, eunuchs, especially those who supervise the army, are really hateful and hateful, and everyone dislikes them.
Just because he and the eunuch had such a personal feud, Ma Wannian couldn't understand why his grandmother agreed. Could it be that they were taking advantage of each other for the purpose of rectification.
But the servant on the way said that maybe it was true, but Qin Liangyu liked the young eunuch very much, even more than Ma Wannian.
This made Ma Wannian confused and slightly jealous.
Huh, I am grandma's favorite grandson. How could he like him more than me?
But when Ma Wannian arrived at Shizhu and saw the two people walking on the school ground, his heart dropped. Chang Yu held Qin Liangyu's arm and walked slowly and whispered something. Qin Liangyu had a faint smile on his face. He raised his hand and patted Chang Yu's shoulder.
Grandma has never smiled at me...wuwuwuwu...
