The third uncle sighed, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, he looked back at Chen Jiye, and saw that Chen Jiye was silent, knowing that this useless guy must only nod.

So I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it seems that the descendants of the Chen family are all capable of being able to do it from generation to generation.

He thought hard before he said, "Such a huge project, I'm afraid it involves a lot of wood, and manpower...... It's no joke. ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Actually, it has been calculated, speaking of which, it is still a matter of money, this thing, as long as it is prefabricated, it is not troublesome to lay." From the desert to Guanzhong, most of them are flat, so the difficulty of the project is not high. In addition, the weather in Guanzhong and the grassland here is dry most of the time, unlike Huainan and Jiangnan where there is abundant rain, so the wood is not easy to perish. It is precisely because of this that I am determined to do this, and I have already thought about the money, and the Chen family has to find a way to raise it......"

"Wait." The third uncle couldn't help but say: "What if there are horse thieves in the grassland who destroy this wooden track?" Chint, this ...... I have to guard against it. ”

"That's where the benefits come in." Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "Not to mention that once this wooden track is built, there will be countless caravans driving on this road when it is not obtained, and a small number of horse thieves will not dare to destroy it." Even if there is really a large team of men and horses, with the wooden rail, we can build a team to protect the road, with this wooden rail, our military horses can travel three hundred miles a day, once they hear the alarm, they can quickly arrive, on the surface it will make the military horses guarding the road tired, but in fact, where the wooden rail goes, is the range that our Chen family forces can reach, the third uncle only saw the hidden danger of horse thieves or Hu people, but did not expect that we can completely control the surrounding land. Besides, the maintenance of wooden rails is not a difficult task, it is nothing. ”

When the third uncle heard this, he also hesitated, why did he always think that Chen Zhengtai's words would make sense in the end?

"Zhengtai, my uncle is not telling you this, I don't want to pour cold water on you, you want to do what you want to do, no one can stop you, and my uncle will not stop you. It's just that if you plan and then act, you must first think about defeat and then win. The third uncle said very seriously: "The old man thinks about it, but it is still too expensive." ”

"Money is just numbers, what's the use of piling it up in the treasury? Uncle rest assured, when this wooden track is repaired, the benefits will be much more than these mere money. ”

The third uncle finally nodded and glanced at Chen Jiye: "What do you think of Jiye?" ”

Chen Jiye is more Buddhist, so he only bowed his head and said: "Zhengtai can call the shots, what ideas can I have?" This Chen family...... If it weren't for CHINT, where would there be today. But...... At the moment, the top priority is still the marriage of Chint. ”

The third uncle suddenly shook his body: "Yes, when you say this, I think so too." A few days ago, our Chen family has been in contact with the Ministry of Rites several times, and has selected a few auspicious days for the Ministry of Rites to make a final decision, but there has been no news from us, so we have to urge it, or make a little money? This group of damned ceremonial officials, all of them are reincarnated by starving ghosts, I'm afraid I'm just waiting for this. ”

Chen Jiye just listened to the matter of repairing the wooden track, and the whole person was soft, but at this time, when he mentioned marriage, he suddenly cheered up, as if he was the one who wanted to get married!

He said with great interest: "Reasonably, we should give some money, first, our Chen family is rich, and second, let's have a celebration, this thing has to be done quickly." ”

Chen Zhengtai suddenly got bored, looked for an excuse, and slipped away.

After a few days, I don't know if it was really the third uncle who made the money, anyway, the palace finally issued an edict!

The day of the princess's marriage was chosen on the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, this day is an auspicious day, of course, Chen Zhengtai is not rare this, when Fang Xuanling got married, didn't he also pick a good day? But the result? It can be seen that this marriage does not depend on the quality of life, but on the quality of people.

The will was promulgated, Chen Zhengtai honestly entered the palace to thank him, and saw Li Shimin first, Li Shimin was looking at a piece of music in a daze, Chen Zhengtai saluted, Li Shimin raised his head, and said to Chen Zhengtai: "What kind of wooden track does the Chen family want to repair, this is ...... Why? ”

"Teacher, it is to strengthen transportation, so that Shuofang and Guanzhong can communicate with each other." Chen Zhengtai said: "If not, people are fine, after all, it is on the grassland, but the soil on the grassland is soft and not suitable for driving, so the wooden rail is built, which has great benefits for the transportation of goods." ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "It will cost a lot of money here." ”

"The Chen family's current budget is around 600,000 yuan, and they plan to lay four-track ......"

Li Shimin is not very interested in the third and fourth tracks, and he does not know much about them. But when I heard that it would cost more than 600,000 yuan, I suddenly had stars in my eyes.

This...... It's money.

And in the Chen family's money, there are still thirty percent, which belongs to the prince.

As for Princess Sui'an, Li Shimin has already removed it, after all, he is married, he originally wanted to settle this account with the Chen family, but if you think about it carefully, this money was originally given by the Chen family, not to mention that in many transactions since then, Chen Zhengtai directly gave Li Chengqian forty percent of the shares, which can be regarded as a very euphemistic expression of compensation.

Therefore, Li Shimin should be pretending to be stupid.

In fact...... The Chen family's business and the annual taxes paid are astronomical, and in the past year, the taxes of the imperial court have increased dramatically, and to a certain extent, Li Shimin is still relieved.

It's just that...... This time it will directly cost more than 600,000 guan, which is ...... It's a bit of a loser.

He was distressed!

"So much?"

Chen Zhengtai said very seriously: "This is an imperative thing, the students have already thought about it, this money, the Chen family will come out by themselves, and will never occupy half of the public money." ”

It's not a matter of who pays for it.

This person is not only his own disciple, but also his son-in-law in the future, Li Shimin thinks of this, he feels distressed, this money did not fall from the sky, there are 600,000 yuan, what is it bad to do?

Any elder, seeing his children spending money like this, will inevitably feel a little embarrassed in his heart.

Li Shimin's face changed rapidly, and it took a long time to reluctantly stabilize his emotions!

He smiled reluctantly: "Oh, the Chen family's money, how to spend it is your business, it's just ...... Don't get carried away too much on a whim. ”

Chen Zhengtai responded: "Students should follow the teachings. ”

"In a few days, you won't be calling yourself a student." After Li Shimin felt like a pinprick in his heart, his face immediately became gentle: "Princess Sui'an, is my beloved daughter, I will marry her to you, and I will get married in a few days, since then, you and I are not only teachers and students, but also monarchs and ministers, and sons-in-law." Although I have many daughters, and there will probably be many sons-in-law in the future, but I am different from you, in short, you must treat my daughters well in the future, of course...... These days, I also let Sui Anduo stay at Guanyin's maid, Guanyin's maid has been writing a nun recently, she is the most talkative of women's virtues, and there is no harm in teaching Sui'an more. ”

When Chen Zhengtai heard the word "woman's virtue", he couldn't help pouring sour water in his heart, this thing is really bad.

He wanted to say in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner that I don't value women's morality.

But suddenly thought that this was his future wife, and then thought about that Fang Xuanling, before these words came to his mouth, he was swallowed back by Chen Zhengtai.

Women's Virtue ......

It smells so good!

I saw Li Shimin's eyes becoming more and more gentle: "If you become a relative, you can be regarded as a real husband, the husband marries a wife and has children, manages the family business, and serves the country, all of which are a heavy burden, and you must not be reckless in your actions in the future." ”

Chen Zhengtai obediently responded one by one.

In a blink of an eye, on the second day of the ninth lunar month, the third uncle and Chen Jiye arranged for someone to contact, and after sending six gifts, Chen Zhengtai entered the palace again.

This time I went straight to Ziwei Palace.

This time, not only Li Shimin, but also Empress Changsun was here.

Seeing Chen Zhengtai come in, Empress Eldest Sun was extraordinarily attentive and enthusiastic.

That eldest grandson Chong was trained by Chen Zhengtai, and now it can be regarded as making the eldest grandson's family raise their eyebrows, and this alone is enough to make the eldest grandson queen overjoyed.

So after explaining the matter of the wedding, the eldest grandson queen said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty has many daughters, and they have all been crowned princesses, and there are a few who built the princess's mansion, plus some daughters of the emperor, and the princess's mansion and the eaters they have been sealed, Your Majesty is not stingy." Only this Sui'an princess, she has been well-behaved since she was a child, and she also has a lot of worries for Her Majesty, such a filial daughter, but Your Majesty only built her princess's mansion outside the gate, the grassland is a bitter cold place after all, and now the princess is about to get married, as a father, this dowry should be extraordinarily generous. ”

Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, I wish the princess's mansion was on the grassland, and the restaurants were outside the gate. If it were somewhere else, I wouldn't.

Li Shimin also seems to want to say, this can be blamed, isn't this all Chen Zhengtai's own idea?

Of course, this is not easy to say, so Li Shimin smiled and said: "What Guanyin said is very true, then, let's buy more dowry." ”

Chen Zhengtai then said: "The queen mother is really considerate to her sons, and her sons are grateful. ”

At this time, he had already begun to call the queen mother in advance.

When Empress Eldest Sun heard Chen Zhengtai say this, she was overjoyed: "In the future, we will be a family, so we don't need to be polite...... A few days ago, someone paid tribute to a lot of ginseng, all of which are rare ginseng, you are still young, you should be more nourishing, and I will send it to you at that time. ”

Chen Zhengtai always felt that the word nourishing seemed to have some metaphor, so he looked up at the sturdy Li Shimin, His Majesty is very strong, could it be that it is also nourished?

The next day was the day of the wedding, in fact, since the time of the child, many eunuchs in the palace and officials of the Ministry of Rites have come.

Previously, they had been here many times, all of which taught the etiquette of the wedding, and the Chen family also made some arrangements, because the princess's mansion was in the desert, so at this time, the place of marriage naturally could not be the princess's mansion.

After careful arrangements and reading many records of ancient rites, the Ministry of Rites has formulated a complete etiquette.

They didn't bother to discuss with Chen Zhengtai, in their eyes, Chen Zhengtai belonged to the tool man before entering the cave room, what does such a big wedding have to do with him Chen Zhengtai?

Instead, like a messenger, they inspected the Chen family and explained many matters, which were actually repeatedly instructed, but they were not at ease, for fear that there would be any exceptions.

The third uncle felt that these people had insulted his IQ, that is, for the sake of the happy day, he didn't bother with them.

This greeting gift is actually similar to that of ordinary people, but it is a little different.

After all, at this time, the Tang Dynasty was just established, and the strict etiquette had not yet been established, and there were still some remnants of ordinary people after all.

Chen Zhengtai was dressed in a wedding dress, riding a high-headed horse, and behind him was a newly decorated carriage, which greeted people that day, and he was dizzy and was instructed by several eunuchs to connect people into the car!

Someone read out the book, and then went back to the Chen family to worship the hall, the Chen family's guests came a lot, whether it was a close relationship, or a person who became an enemy on weekdays, the circle of the family is not big, and at other times it is another person who is anxious to pull out a knife, but if you get married, you still have to drink a drink with a courtesy.

The dowry in the palace took more than 400 wrestlers, captains, and more than 120 carriages to move it, Chen Zhengtai knew that his father-in-law was stingy, and nine times out of ten it was a tribute sent from all over the country, and he was rewarded casually, as for the discount, it was impossible.

So he didn't care.

On that day, he entered the room, a little drunk, and the lengthy etiquette always consumed people's patience, so that Chen Zhengtai was in a hurry to enter the cave room several times, but was dragged by several eunuchs, and finally got out after a long time.

Under the red candle, Chen Zhengtai lifted the xia cloak on the head of the princess of Sui'an, and was relaxed and happy at this time, fortunately, everyone is an acquaintance, knows the roots, and is not shy!

When the bride showed her face, in an instant, Chen Zhengtai suddenly screamed, and retreated sharply behind him, hitting the lampstand behind him, the oil lamp clanged and fell to the ground, and then the fire oil on the ground seemed to be poured on the fire.

I saw the newcomer sitting here, where is Princess Sui'an?

It's clearly Princess Li Xiuli of Changle!

Chen Zhengtai shuddered, and subconsciously said in horror: "Hell." ”

"Don't shout." Princess Changle said aggrievedly: "No wonder you ......"

Of course I can't blame you......

the groove.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say: "What about Xiurong? ”

Li Xiuli said: "It's a long story. ”

"Keep it short." Chen Zhengtai gritted his teeth, and only after a long time did he try to say: "I'm afraid." ”

Li Xiuli blushed with shame: "This ...... This is all the prince's idea, he said to scare you, I don't think it's appropriate, I won't agree...... Xiurong was deceived by the prince...... I...... I am innocent. ”

Chen Zhengtai only felt that the world was spinning, but fortunately he was still a little sober in his mind, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, hurry up and clean up, I'll send you back to the palace." ”

He took the Xia cover in a hurry, wanting to cover Li Xiuli, and scolded in his heart, your princess of the Tang Dynasty is really good at playing, and everyone really has it.
