Time flies, and the marriage of Zhao Yun and Ma Yunluo is approaching in an instant.

Ma Teng, as one of the big warlords in Xiliang who controls real power, marrying his daughter this time and marrying Liu Wei's confidant Zhao Yun naturally caused a sensation in the entire Xiliang.

Because in their opinion, this illustrates a change, which is related to the change of the situation in Xiliang, some people are happy, and some people are worried.

Han Sui's faction is naturally the most distressed faction, but it is not easy to attack at this time.

Liu Wei is naturally clear about these, but Liu Wei knows better that this is also an inevitable process.

"Zilong, this time you got married, I didn't have anything to give you in Xiliang for a while, I have a pair of jade pendants here, and I will give them to the two of you."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he took out a pair of fine jade pendants and handed them to Zhao Yun.

"Your Majesty, the last general will never accept it, the last general knows that His Majesty has done his best for Zilong's marriage, how can he accept the gift." Zhao Yun saw it and immediately excused himself.

"Why not, let you take it." Liu Wei didn't bother to say more, and directly gave the jade pei to Zhao Yun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing this, Zhao Yun immediately opened his mouth to thank him.

"Okay, go down, you don't have to protect me, with Huaxiong here, I'll be fine." Liu Wei said with a smile.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally answered and left.

Zhao Yun also knew that Liu Wei was deliberately giving him more time to prepare for the wedding.

After Zhao Yun left, Liu Wei led Hua Xiong to Ma Teng's mansion.

When Liu Wei came to Ma Teng's mansion, in addition to Ma Teng, Han Sui was also in the hall.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Liu Wei said with a smile after entering the hall.

"Your Majesty is serious, I don't know why Your Majesty asked your ministers to come this time?" Someone asked.

"Tomorrow is the day General Ma marries his daughter, I have already thought about it, if there is no peace today, and the people are hard, I want to take advantage of this happy day, in the name of the imperial court, to exempt half of the taxes of the people of Xiliang, how about it?"

Liu Wei didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

As soon as Liu Wei's words came out, many people in the hall were in an uproar.

Liu Wei was not surprised by such a scene, and after a while, Liu Wei said lightly: "Do you have any difficulties?"

Liu Wei also looked at it, in addition to Ma Teng and Han Sui, there were some of their affiliated small forces.

However, the most fierce reaction was more from the Han Sui faction.

However, when Liu Wei opened his mouth to ask, they looked at Ma Teng and Han Sui.

After all, they are qualified to negotiate terms with Liu, and they are the only two of them who can be accepted.

Ma Teng didn't say anything for a while, and it was hard to say anything, after all, Liu Wei had just said that he was taking advantage of this happy day.

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people, and Han Sui admires it very much, but the tax reduction and exemption may affect local expenditures and cause a lot of inconvenience."

Han Sui looked at Liu Wei at this time and said, he knew that at this time, he could only speak first.

"People are displaced, their lives are precarious, how can they pay taxes? The change of the yellow scarf is vivid, has Lord Han forgotten? ”

"I don't dare." Han Sui replied after listening to Liu's words.

Now that there are still wandering Yellow Turban troops everywhere, how can he dare to say that he has forgotten.

"Since I haven't forgotten, I believe that General Han already knows my hard work, I believe that General Han and all of you also have a heart of love for the people, and you will definitely be able to experience this hard work, and the people will live in peace, which will also be conducive to you sitting in Xiliang." Liu Wei glanced around at everyone, then looked at Han Sui and said.

Han Sui still didn't know Liu Wei's attitude, if they didn't agree, if they didn't agree, it would spread out in the future, and the spittle of the people of Xiliang would drown them.

Moreover, Liu Wei also said that the people's peaceful residence is conducive to them sitting in Xiliang, which in turn means that if Xiliang is reversed, they should not think about it.

If Han Sui had been afraid before, but now the relationship between Ma Teng and Liu Wei is very different.

It is probably very difficult to let Ma Teng carry the infamy and resist Liu Wei.

"If you are worried that tax reduction and exemption will not be conducive to disaster relief and other expenses, I will certainly not sit idly by, what do you think now?"

Liu Wei continued to look at everyone and spoke.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, Ma Teng thanks Your Majesty for the people of Xiliang."

After a while, Ma Teng stood up and spoke.

Liu Bian's attitude is already obvious, since he has decided to support Liu Bian, then now he can only agree.

After Han Sui saw that Ma Teng agreed, he immediately agreed, but left not long after.

"Your Majesty, you are really a good emperor, and now that the taxes are reduced, the burden on the people will be much lighter."

After returning to his mansion, Hua Xiong looked at Liu Wei and said with a smile.

Liu Wei smiled and didn't explain much.

His actions this time naturally have his intentions, and reducing the burden of the people is one of them, but it is not the ultimate goal.

In addition to reducing the burden on the people, reducing taxes can also increase their own popularity, so that the people can trust and appreciate the imperial court.

At the same time, these local taxes are now not collected by themselves, and the reduction and exemption of taxes can restrict the expansion of Xiliang to a certain extent.

If there is no silver tael, then how can there be a matter of raising an army, so reducing taxes has played a restraining role.

And after this incident, Ma Teng could only stand more firmly on his side.

Although there is an element of calculation, Liu Wei knows that sometimes some means are indeed needed.

As for Han Sui, if he wants to fall, with the current situation, it is one enemy and two, and he is not treated well by the people.

The next day, at the wedding of Zhao Yun and Ma Yunluo, it was a lively scene.

At the same time, the people of Xiliang were also very happy because of Liu Wei's announcement of tax reduction and exemption.

Because for them, half of the tax reduction is a great joy, and Liu Wei is naturally even more grateful.

After the excitement, after the wedding, Han Sui's face instantly darkened when he looked at the notice sent by Li Kan.

"This Liu Wei is really acting quickly." Han Sui said with a cold face.

"Now that this notice has been gradually posted and spread by word of mouth, it won't be long before Liangzhou will know everything." After listening to Han Sui's words, Li Kan also sighed.

"It's really a good means, a piece of paper, not only cut off half of my taxes, but also made him Liu Wei leave an impression in the hearts of the people." Han Sui said with a gloomy face.

This piece of paper, which can be worth tens of thousands of soldiers, is bloodless, but it has already put itself in a passive situation.

After the wedding, Liu Wei deliberately stayed for half a month, in order to let Ma Yunluo stay in Xiliang for a longer period of time.

In addition to this, another point is to make the will of tax reduction and exemption quickly spread in Liangzhou.

In this way, even Han Sui will not be able to change anything at that time.

If Han Sui dares to raise taxes, even if the people dare to be angry and dare not speak out because of Han Sui's forces, once he uses this to crusade, Han Sui will inevitably be defeated because he will lose the hearts of the people.

So whether Han Sui is obedient or not, it is a good and harmless thing for himself.

Half a month has passed, and it is time for Liu Wei to return.

The effect of this trip to Xiliang is self-evident for him.

"Zilong, now that Yunluo is I'll hand it over to you, you have to treat her well, don't wronged her." Ma Teng looked at Zhao Yun and said.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, Zilong remembers." Zhao Yun immediately replied after hearing this.

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Ma Teng immediately nodded with satisfaction.

After saying goodbye for a while, Liu Wei led everyone out of Jincheng and headed towards Jinyang.

Ma Yunluo naturally went to Jinyang with Zhao Yun.

Returning to Jinyang from Liangzhou, Liu Wei was naturally very happy, because the results of this trip to Liangzhou were much better than he thought.

Moreover, Long Wujun's strength this time has also been well experienced, which is also something that reassures him.

The official road was dusty, and after hurrying, Liu Wei and his party finally returned to the territory of Bingzhou and arrived in Jinyang.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on your victorious return, and congratulations to General Zilong on the return of the beauty."

Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Wei and Zhao Yun and said with a smile.

"Strategist, don't make fun of Zilong." Zhao Yun said with a smile after listening to Xi Zhicai's words.

"Your Majesty, there is also good news to tell Your Majesty here, there is someone who wants to see Your Majesty."

At this time, Xun You also smiled and said, looking happy.
