Chapter 672: Saibei Harvest and Big Wedding

In successive battles, the Han army won a great victory, so it was the court and Fuquan who were happy, but the officials of the Hussar General's Mansion who were distressed, after all, they were busy calculating the merits of the war and rewarding the various departments.

On the day of the court, in the happy atmosphere of the little emperor Liu Chong and the hundred officials and ministers, Fuquan immediately took out the list of meritorious heroes, and asked the court for meritorious personnel, asking for rewards, among which there were more than a dozen people who were crowned marquises, and there were many other generals and captains.

With the extermination of the Black Mountain thieves, the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty is no longer worry-free, but those who are worried, except for the northwest frontier, who is still attacking cities in the Western Regions, and has a great ability to establish a country on his own, is the wealthy family of the local family that has always been the henchman of the imperial court after the establishment of the country in this dynasty.

Of course, the former is just a small trouble for Fuquan, and once the army arrives in the future, the power is in the Han Dynasty, and no matter how Han Sui resists, he can't do anything.

As for the latter, it is a link that Fuquan wants to exterminate, but there is no way to do it, after all, these wealthy families are no longer the ones that can be settled by the former Han Dynasty by the edict of the Han Dynasty to move the tomb. They have taken root in various parts of the Han Dynasty for a long time, and taking strong action will only make the society unstable.

Autumn came quickly, and when the plan was made, the taxes reported by the officials in various places were not surprising except for the places where the imperial court mobilized troops this year, and the taxes reported by the rest of the places were quite ideal.

For those places where taxes are not satisfactory, Fuquan did not blame much, after all, the mobilization of troops by the imperial court will definitely affect local production, and it is actually good to not let the already stretched central treasury pay for relief.

However, what is gratifying is that the Tuntian Law of the Saibei Changshi Mansion has been harvested, in the past few years with the continuous support of the Han Dynasty, the Saibei Changshi Mansion relied on the foundation of the immigrants in the past, and finally opened up more than 100,000 acres of fertile land under the blood of countless prisoners of war who were forced to Tuntian, and the harvest it brought disappeared one by one in various early tax exemptions and policies of the imperial court, and finally appeared this year.

After deducting the more than 90,000 acres of land that the imperial court rewarded those immigrants with when the land reclamation expired, there are still tens of thousands of acres of land left, which are still under the name of the imperial court, cultivated by prisoners of war, and the fruits are harvested, and the imperial court takes the lion's share, and those prisoners of war can only take a small part to make a living.

Although there are only hundreds of thousands of people in the Saibei Changshi Mansion, which is about the same as the population of the ordinary county of Dahan, according to the data reported by the planner sent by the Saibei Changshi Mansion, its land taxation is about to catch up with the general large counties.

After all, the jurisdiction of the Saibei Changshi Mansion can continue to expand, even if the places that cannot be farmed at all are deducted, there are still many suitable oases for Tuntian.

Moreover, according to the planner's words, when the officials of the Saibei Changshi Mansion used military management to supervise the people, prisoners, and prisoners of war in the tuntian, they did not put their minds on the land, and in addition to planting, they also used the Hu prisoners of war in the tuntian area to breed cattle, horses, and other agricultural and sideline products, which undoubtedly greatly increased the potential of the Saibei Changshi Mansion.

Originally, taking Tuntian as an opportunity, first, to solve the food problem of the barren counties and counties in the border area, and secondly, as the key to open the continuous expansion of the Han court, Fuquan just wanted to use the benefits of Tuntian to make the Han Dynasty up to the hundreds of officials and ministers, down to the ordinary people know the benefits of Tuntian, the uninhabited land of the border fortress, to attract them to continue to develop, but Fuquan did not have a specific plan for how to rationalize Tuntian in the Changshi Mansion of Saibei from beginning to end.

At the beginning, even if Huangfu Song took over, there were not too many regulations, just according to the general development of land and enclosure farming. That is, a few years ago, Fu Quan mentioned the talent of Zao Yi to the first emperor Liu Hong in a certain song, although Fu Quan didn't like this guy who had a lot to do with the party, but when he thought of this Tuntian master in real history, he still recommended it, because he knew that Zao Yi was different from other party members, and he would definitely not release water for such important matters related to people's livelihood as farming and raising the people.

And Liu Hong was also very concerned about the reconstruction of his newly opened territory, and immediately appointed Zao Yi as the agricultural lieutenant of the Saibei Changshi Mansion, specifically responsible for the agriculture of the Saibei Changshi Mansion.

Liu Hong knew in his heart that once those desolate lands outside the fortress became fertile land that could support the people and live for the people, then no matter what, his contribution to the emperor's territorial expansion could not be eliminated. Therefore, it can be said that Liu Hong is completely responsive to the affairs of the Saibei Changshi Mansion, and sometimes Fuquan can't help but think, if it weren't for the fact that everyone thought that Saibei was a barren land in the eyes of everyone at that time, and no one dared to go to Saibei, I am afraid that I don't know how many people went to Liu Hong to brag about how they would govern Nongsang, and then ask for a high-ranking official position out of the Saibei Changshi Mansion.

It turns out that what Fu Quan thought was right, although Zao was not very friendly to Fu Quan, but he was recommended by Fu Quan, and he still completed his job seriously.

After arriving in Saibei, after carefully studying the land of Saibei Changshi Mansion, Zao only asked people to divide the land that has not been cultivated outside Saibei into two kinds according to the land that can be used as grassland animal husbandry and cultivation, and then plant cattle and sheep while cultivating the land, so that the two-pronged approach is now the prestige of Saibei Changshi Mansion.

After the matter was reported to the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Song, he immediately ordered people to spread the achievements of the Saibei Changshi to the government and the opposition, and at the same time rewarded the people of the Saibei Changshi Mansion, which undoubtedly slapped many people in the court.

Not to mention those court officials who have always disagreed with the establishment of the long history of Saibei, even those party members in the court, it seems that they have been slapped in the face, after all, they have always scolded Liu Hong for being "faint king", and now Liu Hong can open up the territory, and Emperor Huan Liu Zhi is the same, can they still call him a faint king? After all, how can there be a faint monarch who can expand the territory, even if he is not a Ming monarch, but he can't be described as a "faint monarch".

And after having a good beginning, Fuquan continued to play, so that the imperial court agreed to the Saibei Changshi Mansion to continue to expand the territory, expand the emperors north of Youzhou, he can remember that Youzhou Beisai is also a good fertile land for later generations, since the effect of Tuntian is so good now, of course he wants to use the northeast land.

Everything is in full swing, and for the Han court, which has been fighting repeatedly, it really needs to recuperate for a few years, and Fu Quan is also using these few years to slowly prepare for his unborn ideas.

Three years later, in the third year of Guangxi, in September, since the death of Liu Hong, the eldest princess Liu Jia, who had been filial piety for three years, had reached the marriageable age, and was ordered by the Empress Dowager of Song and Emperor Liu Chong to make the hussar general Fuquan Gong loyal to the country, the humerus of the country, and the best marriageable person for the princess.

The emperor married his sister, and he married the most powerful hussar general in the world, which caused a sensation in the world, and as the only sister of the emperor Liu Chong, the dowry of his sister was also very expensive, but more than three times that of an ordinary princess, which shocked the world.

In the past three years, the Han Dynasty has recuperated, and the treasury has gradually been filled, and with the gradual implementation of the Tuntian in the three prefectures of You, He, and Liang, the border army has been self-sufficient, and there is no need for the central court to transport grain thousands of miles away, and the treasury has saved a lot of money and grain. And the emperor Liu Chong, who gradually understood the power of the court, naturally knew who he was in this situation for, and then the Empress Dowager Song taught to firmly stabilize the Fu family, and use the strategy of the Fu family to rule the world, Liu Chong naturally put a lot of effort into the reward for the princess's marriage.

In the past, the wedding day was not lively, and "The Book of Rites: Suburban Characteristics" said: "The wedding does not need to be happy, and the righteousness of the yin is also." The wedding is not celebrated, and the order of people is also. And "The Book of Rites: Zeng Ziwen" also said: "The house of a married woman is not happy for three days." ”

The ancient rites are all advocating that marriage does not need to be done in a big way, but marriage is a happy event after all, "good luck, very auspicious", in the Han Dynasty such a country that advocates music, "wedding is not celebrated" naturally exists in name only, even if it is for later generations, the same is true, for a wedding, marry a wife, pour the strength of three generations, countless.

In the grand music, the couple with a strong political marriage began to get married, Fu Quan was dressed in luxurious robes, hanging knives and rings, handsome and extraordinary. And Liu Jia, who has already been out and down, is a long skirt overlapping, a hairpin, a grand decoration, as bright as a spring, and the pen and ink can't describe what if.

The two slowly walked into the inner hall, there are no outsiders in this hall, they are all family members of both sides, first worship the church, first worship heaven and earth, then worship the ancestors, worship the elders three times, and then sit opposite each other, the male west and the female east, meaning that the yin and yang will gradually meet.

The waiter serves clear water, a pair of newcomers clean their hands, pick up chopsticks and enjoy the meat of each animal, and the waiter pours wine, the two exchange cups, cut off each other's heads with scissors before drinking, and the knots together express concentricity, this is the "knot", the former Han Suwu had a poem: "Married as a husband and wife, love is not doubtful." ”

After drinking the wine, the two of them pulled their hands tightly together, holding the hands of their sons, growing old with their sons, and never losing each other in this life and this life.

At this point, after the wedding, it is time for the bride and groom to go out and meet guests in the courtyard. Because today's marriage is not an ordinary person, one is a general who leans towards the government and the opposition, and the other is the emperor's own sister, one of the two is extremely noble, not to mention that it is together, almost all the people who are qualified to participate in the wedding banquet in Beijing Luoyang, as well as the relatives and friends of the Fu family from all over the country have come, and even the little emperor Liu Chong and the Empress Dowager Song and other royal families have come, and the banquet is full of thousands of people, which can be described as a grand scene.

It is not easy for thousands of people to have a meal, not only the hussar general's mansion slaves, but even the Fu clan's relatives, not the people of the Hou Mansion and even the Liu clan of the Jingshi are mobilized, divided into ten directions, each taking care of one place, busy sweating, panting so that nothing goes wrong, and it is also fortunate that the Hussar General's Mansion is large enough, and after several expansions, it can accommodate them.

Fuquan carried Cai Wan interspersed with it, to be honest, he was very unsuitable for the wedding of the Han Dynasty, the guests frolicked and joked in front of the bride at the banquet, laughing and scolding, even the least politeness was disregarded, a hundred times crazier than modern times, it is hard to imagine that the Han Dynasty people who were serious on weekdays and knew how to be reasonable also had such a dissolute side.

However, if it is changed to the groom next to him, the guests will definitely continue to tease the bride and groom and prevent them from going to the cave room early, but Fuquan is different, the people present give them a few dares, and they dare not say that they are teasing Fuquan and Liu Jia, not to mention that the emperor and the queen mother are still there, if they are dissatisfied with themselves, wouldn't they have worries about their careers?

In the depths of the night, Fuquan entered the new house drunk, and as the door was closed and the lights went out, the noble princess became a woman......
