Originally, according to Hong'er's plan, she married Lu Xun this year. Although the two of them have a marriage contract, they are less together and more separated, Hong'er is in Shouchun, but Lu Xun is in Yanzhou, hundreds of miles apart.

Although Zhang Yi agreed that Hong'er would go to the construction site to see Lu Xun, he couldn't always go, and he would stay for a month at most. Just like that, a month is happier than many women, and it is basically impossible for them to see their fiancé before marriage.

But there is no way, for the sake of the world, Zhang Yi can only postpone Hong'er's marriage.

Fortunately, in August, Lu Xun finally opened the canal and the river, and if he wanted to go to the river in the future, he could go to the river as a fighting boat.

The canal is not wide enough to allow larger ships to enter, otherwise there is a danger of running aground. The opening of the canal also gave birth to a new profession called Caoyun.

Cao Yun is different from sea transportation, Cao Yun can only be carried out in the canal, because there are layers of checkpoints in the canal, and the inspection is very cumbersome, unlike the sea transport, which can be in place.

So Zhang Yi himself came to run the first Caoyun business, and used it to supervise the operation of Caoyun.

In December, after nearly four months of preparation, Hong'er's wedding finally took place.

On the day Hong'er got married, Zhang Yi decreed that Hong'er would be the eldest princess, with a status equal to that of the king of the city, and 3,000 households.

This canonization is very strange, there are 3,000 food estates but no fief, and it is abnormal to put it anywhere.

But Zhang Yi's meaning was actually to take out the money and food of these 3,000 households from his own pocket. This is a precedent he has set for his own princess, he will not give the princess a fief, and the royal family pays for it every year.

The money and grain of 3,000 households a year is not very much, and according to the calculation of 100 yuan and 1 rice per household, it is only 300,000 yuan and 3,000 rice.

Now a medium-sized merchant in Shouchun can get 300,000 yuan a year.

But in fact, 300,000 yuan and 3,000 rice are already a lot, enough for Hong'er to raise hundreds of servants and guards every year.

On the day of Hong'er and Lu Xun's wedding, the whole Shouchun was lit up. Their emperor was a low-key man, and his own wives were all quiet and never celebrated. And until now, Zhang Yi has not officially established the queen, which makes many people anxious.

In Zhang Yi's harem, it was mainly divided into several factions, one was headed by Fan Lihua, and the later Zhen and Wu families all moved closer to her. The second faction is Da Qiao and Sun Shangxiang, the two of them were originally sisters-in-law, and now they are sisters, and their relationship has been very close for a long time. The third is headed by Xiao Qiao, since Xiao Qiao married Zhang Yi, she has not had a good relationship with Da Qiao, and she is surrounded by some Lujiang people, such as Qin Luofu. The last centrist is Luo, who never participated in these open and secret battles, and after educating her younger brother Luo Tong, she began to educate her own children.

Most of the people who support Fan Lihua are a group of generals, and these people have a relationship with Fan Lihua and are naturally close to Fan Lihua.

Supporting Da Qiao are some Wenchen, many of whom are old ministers of the Sun family, especially Zhu Zhi. In fact, they originally supported Sun Shangxiang, but because Zhang Yi would never let the Sun family revivenation, they supported Da Qiao.

Those who support Xiao Qiao are people from the Lujiang area, but there are very few of them, and they can't affect the overall situation at all.

On the contrary, there are more supporters for the Luo family, and many ministers support the Luo family. They fancy Luo's educational ability, after Luo Tong was educated by Luo, he directly entered the Imperial History Department, and every time he gave advice, he had something to say, and there was reason and evidence, and many people were optimistic about him.

Zhang Yi didn't pay attention to the people below, because he didn't plan to stand up. These women in the harem also know, so they don't fight, although there are contradictions between them, but they are just some parents, and they rarely ask about things outside the palace. Even if you ask, it's just asking for a chance.

Zhang Yi has always been very face-saving about reasonable requests, but unreasonable affirmations directly reprimanded the past, after so many years, these women have long known what to ask and what not to ask.

After Lu Xun and Hong'er got married, they were appointed as the general of the horse and took over the training of recruits.

It is also Zhang Yi's selfishness to arrange Lu Xun nearby, he can't stop Hong'er from leaving the palace, so he can only let Lu Xun serve in Shouchun.

Lu Xun was also quite dissatisfied with this, but he didn't dare to say it to Zhang Yi, if he dared to say it, Zhang Yi would definitely scold him. Zhang Yi is not only his father-in-law, but also his teacher, and Zhang Yi, who is by Zhang Yi's side, has educated him a lot.

However, his current official position is not small, and he has surpassed many of his predecessors and has become the top general.

The credit for digging the canal is too great, and many people are very jealous that Lu Xun got this errand. You must know that those generals have not made any contributions in the past three years, and it must be uncomfortable to see Lu Xun making meritorious contributions.

So in the next second Northern Expedition, Lu Xun didn't have a chance to participate, stayed in Shouchun to train recruits, and give birth to a baby! Zhang Yi would love to have a grandson.

After turning forty, Zhang Yi cherishes his family affection, he doesn't know how long he can live, he wants to see the fourth generation before he dies.

The seven years of China have come, and Zhang Yi has no intention of starting a war. In May, Hong'er came with good news, she was pregnant, and Zhang Yi was going to be her grandfather.

Taking advantage of this news, Zhang Yi also let Orange choose a husband. Orange is the daughter of Da Qiao, and she has been close to the old ministers of the Sun family since she was a child, and she actually chose to marry Zhu Ju.

Zhang Yi did not stop this choice, and Zhu Yi is also very good. He is good-looking, has a strong physique, and is good at debating, and is a civil and military all-rounder.

Zhang Yi also used the system to look at Zhu Yi's attributes.

"Zhu Ju, Force: 88, Strategy: 87, Strategy: 82, Internal Affairs: 89, Education: 72, Diplomacy: 85. Trait: Civil-military. ”

Zhu Ju's attributes are also very good, but the education is too weak, but I believe that with Orange, the education of their descendants will definitely not be bad.

Da Qiao cultivated Orange Er into a talented girl, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Among the scholars, people prefer the well-informed orange child to the red child who dances with knives and guns.

So for the marriage contract between Orange Er and Zhu Ju, the Zhu family is very happy. Especially after Zhu Zhi was transferred to the Central Committee, he rented an entire street in Shouchun to celebrate.

Regarding the Zhu family's big celebration, Zhang Yi just laughed it off, without praise or harsh criticism. He didn't have any prejudice against the Zhu family, but they had a very good relationship with the Sun family, which made Zhang Yi a little uneasy.

So he appointed Zhu Ju as the captain of the horse and followed Lu Xun to train recruits, wanting Lu Xun to pull him over.
