Chapter 146 [Expanding the Territory is the Family Business]

Once a man marries a daughter-in-law, it often brings some surprises.

If the daughter-in-law is good, the life is wonderful, giving birth to a man and helping a man buy a family business, some people are destined to have a magnificent life, and Zhaoning is precisely this kind of person who is born with wind and clouds.

She made Gu Tianya rich again.

……

Gu Tianya has been in Wuyang County for a month, and he has to go home every seven days to see his daughter-in-law.

Since I stayed at home for three days at a time, I went home three times this month.

These three trips home, each time there are new surprises.

When he returned home for the first time, Zhao Ning told him that he would build a new house for his family, and he was going to build a three-deep yard that could accommodate at least a hundred people.

Zhaoning's plan is big.

Among them, the front yard is a place for hospitality, and a large wing house will be specially built, and the back yard is the private residence of women and children, ready to be divided into seven or eight small courtyards.

Although Gu Tianya has not taken a concubine yet, Zhaoning belongs to the kind of extremely atmospheric woman, she must be a wife herself, and she feels satisfied with everything when she occupies a seat, so she wants to help Gu Tianya build a concubine courtyard in advance.

Since ancient times, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, the wife will help her husband plan his life, and the concubine belongs to the family's expenses, and anyone who is a wife will not object to this matter.

On the contrary, I had to take the initiative to help my husband Zhang Luo.

Otherwise, it is jealousy.

In addition to the front yard and the back yard, the new home also plans a middle courtyard, which is the residence of the family members and is responsible for protecting the safety of the entire Gu family.

The Gu family, the Gu family.

This word made Gu Tianya a little unfamiliar.

Today's Gu family is not a family, but Zhao Ning obviously plans far away, as the commander of the Women's Army, the most important thing is to have under her command, just the loyal generals, adding up to more than a dozen people.

With just one order, the subordinates were recruited at will.

It is said that in order to compete for the position of the Gu family's subordinates, these generals actually held a large-scale competition in the army, and the head was broken and bleeding, and the eyes were almost red.

In the end, 12 people were shortlisted.

It is difficult for later generations to imagine why people in this era would compete for the opportunity to be servants of others.

The reason is simple, a trilogy is a person who is qualified to be promoted to a retainer.

……

So when Gu Tianya went home for the second time, the first thing Zhao Ning asked him to do was cut his wrists.

Ma Sanbao became the first retainer of the Gu family.

The other eleven parts have to wait.

Gu Tianya cut a knife on his wrist and made a ceremony of dissolving blood and receiving ministers, he didn't feel anything about it, but Ma Sanbao cried a lot, and as for the other eleven parts, his eyes were red with envy.

It's a pity that Zhaoning only released a retainer position, and they can't compete for Ma Sanbao no matter what.

……

This is Gu Tianya's third trip home, and there are also surprises waiting for him.

I'm going to get rich.

In the evening, after eating.

Gu Tianya hugged Zhaoning, and the two of them walked by the river, followed by Xiaoqing Xiaorou, carrying a mat and preparing to take a cool.

Behind is my sister Chang'e, suddenly rushed to a tree to catch it, but unfortunately her palm was too strong, a palm down the tree shook violently, the screams of knowing suddenly stopped, the trunk 'clicked' like a lightning strike, between the clusters of leaves, the trunk was split with a palm.

Don't say you know, the tree can't live.

Zhaoning seemed to be furious, turned around and shouted at Chang'e Jiao, and scolded: "Dead girl, is it ...... to find a fight?"

Gu Tianya was startled, and hurriedly reassured: "She is still young and more playful. It's just a cicada to death, why are you so angry? ”

Zhao Ning's aura was unprecedentedly strong, and she said, "Before I give birth, no one in this family is allowed to kill." Cicadas are also life, and she is not allowed to catch them again. ”

Gu Tianya stood on the spot, and only after a long time was stunned that he said: "You led the troops to fight back then, and there were a lot of lives under your hands. ”

Zhao Ningqiao's face was solemn, and he said: "That was before, but now it is not allowed." I have to pray for the child, and I am not allowed to kill until I give birth. ”

Chang'e stuck out her tongue mischievously, and came over to apologize, Gu Tianya took the opportunity to appease Zhaoning again, and finally suppressed her anger.

No way, the pregnant woman has a big temper, and it's weird, like a nervous person.

Now the whole family has to let her.

At this time, Xiaoqing Xiaorou found a place with a cool breeze, laid out a mat and came over to help Zhaoning to enjoy the coolness, but Zhaoning waved his hand, and instead pulled Gu Tianya to the riverside.

However, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the west, and said, "Our family is going to get rich." ”

Gu Tianya was slightly stunned, feeling that this turn was a little abrupt, and asked curiously, "What kind of wealth?" ”

But seeing Zhao Ning smirked, he didn't answer the rhetorical question: "Do you know Shuo Fang'......?"

"Shuo Fang? Why did you suddenly mention this place. It's a long way from us, almost bordering the Western Turks. ”

"I didn't ask you if you were far away, I asked if you knew Shuo Fang."

"Of course I know, that is the territory of Liang Shidu, this person raised troops at the end of the Sui Dynasty and established a country called Liang State, which once had fifteen states, which belonged to a large force."

Although Gu Tianya lives in Hebei, he often pays attention to major events in the world, but he can't understand why Zhaoning mentioned Shuofang, which is more than 1,500 miles away from Hebei.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he vaguely grasped Zhaoning's intentions, and blurted out: "Although Shuofang is far away from us, there is a state in Liang State that borders us. Zhaoning, don't you want to attack that state? ”

Zhao Ning shook his head slowly, and said leisurely: "Wrong, what I want is not a state, the eldest son of our family is about to be born, and I, the mother, want to give him a county." ”

Hiss!

Gu Tianya gasped.

A county?

He was proficient in the world's major affairs, and he understood where Zhao Ning was eyeing in just one turn of his mind.

That place is called Dingyang County.

Hebei Province is the border of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a force to the north and west, of which to the north is the steppe Turks, and to the west is the Liang State of Liang.

Now that the Turks are strong and strong, Zhaoning will definitely not touch it, so he is targeting Liang Guo.

Dingyang County is a county bordering Hebei Province.

It was the land of three states, all of which added up to nine counties, and because the northwest was vast and sparsely populated, the territory of the three states was equivalent to one-fifth of Hebei Province.

The large area is scary to death.

It's just that this place is not easy to swallow.

There is a Turkic platform behind Liang Shidu, which is the same force as the Tang Dynasty, although its strength has weakened in recent years, it will definitely not be able to defeat it with the women's army alone.

Such a hard stubble, Zhao Ning actually wanted to move him, the reason was ridiculous, he actually wanted to get other people's land to give to his children.

People who are about to become mothers are really ruthless.

But he didn't expect that it was not only Zhaoning who was ruthless......

I only heard Xiaoqing suddenly speak, and said with perseverance: "Miss said, after Dingyang is laid, it will be assigned to me a state, and the children left to me at that time will be regarded as my dowry property, so we will do it in two months." ”

After the girl finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Tianya, her pretty face faintly flushed, and she whispered: "You should understand, I can only give birth to a concubine in the future, according to the tradition of our Central Plains, a concubine cannot share the family property, but I am also a mother, I want to leave some property for the child." ”

Gu Tianya was stunned.

How old are you this girl, and you're planning to be a mother now?

But Xiao Rou also spoke, and said softly: "Miss also promised to give me a state, let me bring it into the Gu family as a dowry!" ”

After speaking, he was extremely shy, lowered his little head and said: "The dowry is a woman's private property, and the head of the family cannot take it lightly, wait for you to raise me in the future, give me a concubine, I will help you give birth to a boy and a girl, just leave the dowry to the children......"

Gu Tianya was a little dizzy.

This girl even began to think about being a mother.

He looked at the three women in a daze, and only after a long time did he take a deep breath and said solemnly: "It's a good thing, but you are too anxious." Liang Shidu is backed by the Turks, and his land is not so easy to swallow. Once you do it, the Turks will inevitably mix. Even if the Turks do not mix, the strength of Liang Shidu alone should not be underestimated. ”

He paused as he spoke, and then said: "This person can build a country in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and has persisted until now, he is by no means an ordinary anti-king strength, and he is full of cavalry who can fight well." ”

Zhao Ning giggled and said, "You are a layman in such a war." ”

Gu Tianya was embarrassed, he suddenly remembered what kind of existence his daughter-in-law was, looking at the past and present, a rare handsome talent, who can lead 200,000 troops to fight, this ability is not weaker than that of Liang Shi.

Xiaoqing and Xiaorou smiled equally and said with a grin: "We even dare to fight Dou Jiande, and we fought the former Central Plains." ”

Gu Tianya was embarrassed again, he forgot that Xiaoqing and Xiaorou were not ordinary girls, don't look at the stinginess when people talk to him, but when they are in the army, they are generals who can fight well.

……

At this time, Zhao Ning looked to the west, and said in a leisurely tone: "You can be the head of your Gu family with peace of mind, and you don't care about the family's wealth and industry." Don't worry, our family in Dingyang County has settled down. ”

The daughter-in-law has already made up her mind, and the two girls are also sharpening their knives, this is to get an industry for the family, and it is said that Gu Tianya has to support it......

However, Gu Tianya was still a little cautious.

Since ancient times, the things of swords and soldiers are all linked to danger, even if the goshawk fights the rabbit, there is also the possibility of being blinded by the rabbit, especially Zhaoning is now pregnant, and it is definitely not suitable to lead the soldiers to the battlefield.

So, you have to stop it.

Gu Tianya thought of this, reached out to hold Zhao Ning's hand, and persuaded gently: "I believe in your ability, and I also believe in Xiaoqing Xiaorou's ability, but can you wait for two years?" After I finish a big thing, I will personally accompany you to fight Liang Shidu......"

The Xuanwumen incident is imminent, and the slightest carelessness in this matter will be overturned by the family, so it is definitely not suitable to do anything else in the past two years, and he needs to stare at Chang'an with all his energy.

Although it is clearly written in the history books that Li Shimin won, Gu Tianya does not dare to guarantee that he will still win again, a butterfly instigating its wings, and if it develops, it will change a lot of general trends, even if it is something that has happened before, it may not be necessary to experience it again.

So, can't bet.

His gaze fell on Zhao Ning's bulging abdomen, and he said suggestively: "Your current situation is not suitable for the battle formation. Obediently listen to my advice, let's wait two years before we do it, okay? ”

He hoped to tie Zhaoning with the birth of a child.

Zhao Ning shook his head slowly, and said with a solemn face: "I can't wait, I can't wait." ”

Gu Tianya was slightly stunned.

saw Zhao Ning turn his face to look at him, and said softly: "You may not know that there are already people under Liang Shidu's command who have rebelled. They presented twelve states to my father, and both rebels were made marquises, and as soon as this kind of example is opened, more people will follow suit, and if we wait another two years, maybe there will be no Liang by then. In other words, we can't get any benefits at all......"

Xiaoqing and Xiaorou stepped forward and said eagerly: "So, we must do it now." Grab ahead of Datang and get three states in Dingyang County. ”

Gu Tianya subconsciously said: "We are also from the Tang Dynasty." ”

"No, we are Gu family members."

The three women spoke together, and their tones were unprecedentedly unanimous.

Gu Tianya was obviously shocked, and he suddenly understood the mood of Zhao Ning and the others.

I saw Zhaoning's pretty face solemn, and said softly: "Before I married you, everything I did belonged to the Li family, such as the initial Guanzhong, which was to help my father build the country, such as the later sweeping of Hebei, but to help the second brother to conquer Dou Jiande, these achievements can be attributed to me, but the territory laid down cannot belong to me......"

She paused slightly, and then said: "Even the women's army I established from scratch should strictly be the wealth of the Li family, and after I marry you, these can no longer belong to me." ”

Gu Tianya nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "This is indeed the traditional rule of our Han family, everything that a woman earns before she gets married belongs to her mother's family, and she can't take it away, she has to leave it to her mother's family." ”

"I'm not a tradition-breaker, and I'm not going to take what I shouldn't." Zhao Ning's pretty face was solemn.

Gu Tianya nodded again and said, "I don't want to be greedy either." ”

Zhao Ning reached out and hugged his arm, and said softly, "So, don't stop me." The three states of Dingyang County will be the wealth I earned after I got married. This kind of wealth belongs to our own home. ”

Expanding the territory is the family business.

Zhaoning is really worthy of being a rare daughter of women throughout the ages.

The pride in her bones does not allow her to take advantage of her mother's family in vain.

She wants to get another property out of her own.

Gu Tianya slowly looked to the west, and suddenly said: "In this case, I won't persuade you, but I want to remind you that you can't use the Women's Army, as you said, the Women's Army is strictly speaking, and it is also your mother's wealth." If you use the women's army to expand the territory, the place you fought down still belongs to the Li family. ”

In fact, he is still dissuading, but he has changed his words.

Zhao Ning suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "This time, I promise not to use the women's army." ”

Gu Tianya was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that there was still a secret here.

But seeing Zhao Ning stretching out his hand to the village, he said more mysteriously: "I will take you to meet a few guests, you remember to maintain your majesty, the more majestic the better, the more arrogant the better." Otherwise, it is not enough to persecute those few people......"

Gu Tianya's mind flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly understood why Zhao Ning suddenly set his sights on Liang Shidu's territory.

The generals under Liang Shidu have been looking for a way out in recent years.

Now it seems that someone wants to defect to Zhaoning.
