Now that Gan Ning has arrived, Zhang Yi began to prepare to return to Shouchun. Zhang Yi took the army, Fan Lihua, Wei Wentong, Gan Ning, and ten horses across the river to Anhui County. And 20,000 stone of grain and grass and ten large ships were left to Li Jing, so that Li Jing could use these resources to train soldiers and sailors.

After arriving in Anhui County, Zhang Yi took Shi Xiu away and handed over Anhui County to Di Qing to manage by himself.

A month later, Zhang Yi, who had been walking and stopping, finally returned to Shouchun.

When he returned to Shouchun, it was already autumn, and the crops in the field were about to ripen, and after Zhang Yi came back, he took the soldiers to the public land to collect grain after a few days, which were all the grain of the soldiers.

Zhang Yi personally took the generals and officials to the field to collect grain, which was not a show, but really to collect grain.

Not only to the public land, but also to help the people collect grain privately. When Zhang Yi trained these soldiers, although he could instill in them the concept of the people's soldiers, he still let them love the people.

Zhang Yi has always pursued a new set of theories of the Five Virtues in his administration, that is, the theory of the Shinong, Industrial, Commercial and Soldier that many people say on the Internet in modern times.

Shi is the virtue of fire, agriculture is the virtue of soil, work is the virtue of wood, business is the virtue of water, and soldiers are the virtue of gold. The five elements are born together, the scholar leads the farmer, the farmer supports the soldiers, the soldiers protect the merchants, the merchants drive the workers, and the workers understand the soldiers.

Of course, this set of theories is not very mature, and it is not perfect, and Zhang Yi doesn't want to tell others.

However, Zhang Yi now firmly grasps the military power, and then relies on the military power to ensure other aspects, and he has made considerable progress. The politics are also clear, and with this year's bumper harvest, the people have surplus food, and they can have more children next year.

Commerce can't flourish for the time being, but Zhang Yi is already encouraging hundreds of workers and encouraging commerce, and the territory under his rule is not rich, and it is still difficult to develop.

Moreover, during this period, the currency system was chaotic, and many people could privately mint five baht coins, embezzling a lot of Zhang Yi's achievements. Zhang Yi has no way to do this, and can only stipulate that he can use genuine five-baht money under his own rule.

However, the genuine five-baht coin and the privately minted five-baht coin are not so clear. Because after the five-baht coin has been used for a long time, there will definitely be wear and tear, and the worn genuine five-baht coin may not have the weight of private minting.

This is the disadvantage of metal currency, and Zhang Yi has no choice. Issuing credits? Stop it! Either there is no official credit now, or there is no credit and no printing materials, at this time the quality of the paper is very bad, and it is very expensive, and even catches up with the silk cloth.

There are still many difficulties, which Zhang Yi can't solve for the time being, and these things have to be done little by little. But now Zhang Yi is more anxious about one thing, that is, Fan Lihua's matter.

In September, Zhang Yi summoned Li Hongzhang back from Misukou and told him about the incident.

Of course, Li Hongzhang was happy, but he disagreed with Zhang Yi on one matter. Zhang Yi just said that he was marrying a wife, but Li Hongzhang thought it was marrying a concubine.

The difference between one word and one word is worlds apart.

Of course, the meaning of a wife and concubine is different, now that Zhang Yi's status is good, he can't marry a woman with a low status as his wife, which is called a good match.

Don't underestimate this right person, this is an important way for the upper classes to pull each other together, whether it is the East or the West.

Zhang Yi didn't actually intend to make his marriage full of politics, but Li Hongzhang's words made Zhang Yi change his mind.

"The male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside. The wife is a husband and a child, and the women of the Fan family are very good at marching and fighting, but the husband and children are not good. The lord will definitely have a full house of children and grandchildren in the future, and he needs a virtuous woman as his wife to teach his children and grandchildren well. If the children and grandchildren are virtuous, the lord's family will prosper, and the death of Qin II is a lesson from the past. ”

Zhang Yi thought about it, what Li Hongzhang said really makes sense! Fan Lihua is very good at fighting, but she is really not good at teaching her husband and children. The world she will fight in the future will definitely be handed over to her son and grandson, if she teaches a bunch of reckless people, what should she do?

Therefore, this scourge must be strangled to death at the beginning, and Fan Lihua can only be a concubine. I don't know, what will Fan Lihua think after knowing about this?

What's the idea? Fan Lihua actually didn't have much idea, she was a deviant existence in ancient times, and it would be good if someone could marry her. She is not Mrs. Sun, although Mrs. Sun danced with guns and sticks in history, she was Sun Quan's sister and powerful. Fan Lihua is just Fan Neng's sister, Fan Neng is dead, and there is no one to support her. Therefore, the fate of her and Mrs. Sun will not be the same.

Don't say that you don't accept your fate, this era is like this, you can't do it if you want to not accept your fate, this is a world controlled by a man.

Therefore, Fan Lihua never thought about the position of his wife, as long as Zhang Yi could marry her, she would be very satisfied.

Under the management of Li Hongzhang, Fan Lihua was quickly hired, and then the two had a wedding in October. Because it was a concubine, the wedding was not grand, and if Zhang Yi hadn't insisted on the wedding, he might have saved even the ceremony.

You must know that in this era of war and chaos, how can there be so much attention? Look at Cao Cao, when you take down the Zou family and the Du family, what kind of ceremony is needed!

On the night of the candle in the cave room, Zhang Yi and Fan Lihua drank the wine, and then untied their clothes and began the preparations for the succession.

Because Zhang Yi's parents died, there was no need for Fan Lihua to get up to meet her in-laws on the second day, and the two of them dragged on until almost noon.

Zhang Yi took a concubine this time, and did not let the generals outside come back to congratulate, but there are still many generals and ministers in Shouchun. Liu Ye, Li Hongzhang, Li Shangyin, Wei Wentong, Gan Ning, Ding Feng, Shi Xiu, Shi Qian, Lu Su sent back Meng Liang, Zhuge Jin sent back Yang Zhi, and Di Qing also sent Shi Jin to Shouchun.

Anyway, Zhang Yi is also married, and it is not bad for the ministers to send people back to give gifts.

However, among these gifts, only the gifts of Fan Zhongyan and Li Jing made Zhang Yi the happiest.

Fan Zhongyan was frugal, but he was sent a bag of rice, which he planted with his own hands in the south of the Huai River. Along with this bag of rice, there is also an annual diary (a one-year work report, mainly recording grain and tax revenues), which clearly states that the grain production has increased by 120,000 koku, which is double that of last year, and the tax has increased by 12,000 koku, which is three times that of last year.

And Li Jing presented Zhang Yi with the military deployment map of Yuzhang, and from the picture, the entire Yuzhang was well defended.

Zhang Yi pointed to these two gifts and said with a smile: "Fan Zhongyan and Pharmacist Li know my heart, and you should take the two of you as a model." ”

Zhang Yi did not blame the others, but let them learn from these two people. At the same time, it is also to show them his attitude that he likes capable courtiers.
