Chapter 568: Weddings Become Charity

Li Shimin was worried that after the Turks moved to the south, these Turks might make trouble, but Li Xiu was not worried at all, the reason why the nomads dared to go south to loot was the horse under the crotch, so that even if they couldn't fight, they could escape, it can be said that the horse is their legs, and almost all the adult men on the grassland are lap legs, which is also a problem with horseback riding.

But if the Turks are moved to the south, where the water network is dense, not to mention that there are no horses for them to ride, even if there are horses, I'm afraid they can't ride, it can be said that as long as they go to the south, these Turks are like losing their legs, even if they really rebel, I'm afraid they can't set off too much storm, not to mention that in the process of migration, Datang can also do a lot of tricks, such as controlling their families, food, and so on.

After listening to Li Xiu's above explanation, Li Shimin suddenly felt some sympathy for those Turks, although the Turks were his enemies, he really didn't want to completely wipe out the Turks like Li Xiu, but Li Xiu's method killed two birds with one stone, that is, it could eliminate the threat of Datang, and it could increase the grain production area for Datang, so he naturally would not refuse.

Seeing that Li Shimin finally agreed with his opinion, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, although it may be a little early to say this, but the threat of the northern grasslands to the Central Plains is too great, and today the method of dealing with the Turks has been set, and it can also set a standard for the Tang Dynasty to deal with the northern nomads in the future, whether it is Xue Yantuo or Hui Hui, it can be dealt with according to this method in the future.

After chatting about the matter, Li Xiu got up to say goodbye, Li Shimin also personally sent him out of the Liangyi Palace, and when he returned home, it was already late at night, and the children in the family had already slept, but after Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang learned that he was back, they got up in person and asked people to prepare dinner for Li Xiu, and they went back to rest after eating with him.

The next day, Li Xiu did not go to the Ministry of Agriculture, but gave himself a day off, he still wanted to sleep lazy, but was woken up by Jin'er, a naughty ghost, and then a group of children pulled him to listen to him listen to the interesting stories of going out.

Li Xiu had no choice but to talk about the disaster situation in various parts of Guanzhong, especially focusing on describing the situation that those people could not eat and could only use wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, so as to educate these Jin'er that they should not waste food, after all, there are too many people in the world who can't even eat enough, but children are children after all, and they have not seen the situation of the victims with their own eyes, they will only listen to it as a story, which makes Li Xiu also sigh, it seems that if there is a chance in the future, I still have to take these children to walk around, so that they can experience the suffering of the people.

Li Xiu stayed at home for most of the day, and when dinner was about to be made in the afternoon, Li Xiu looked at the good weather outside, and was about to go to the Yellow Canal to take a walk, and by the way to see the water situation of the Yellow Canal, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came to the front yard, he saw Ma Ye and the Guanghua County Lord walking out of the courtyard where he lived side by side.

"Uncle Ma, when will you and the county lord drink the wine?" When Li Xiu saw this, he also stepped forward with a smile and asked, Ma Ye and the county lord of Guanghua have a deeper and deeper relationship, but they have not officially married for a long time, which makes Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang also very concerned.

"I'm afraid it won't work this year, let's wait until the New Year!" Ma Ye turned his face and glanced at Li Xiu at this time.

"Why wait until next year, is it that the eldest princess still disagrees with your marriage with the county lord, if this is the case, why don't I go and ask His Majesty for marriage, so that the eldest princess will not be able to stop it anymore?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little anxious when he heard Ma Ye's answer, after all, Ma Ye and the county lord of Guanghua are no longer young, and they are rare to be happy with each other, so it is really unnecessary to consume it like this.

"This has nothing to do with the eldest princess, in fact, the eldest princess has already agreed to my marriage with the county lord, but I decided to postpone the wedding myself." Ma Ye said with a serious face at this time.

"Why, since even the eldest princess agreed, what are you hesitating about?" Li Xiu asked even more incomprehensibly when he heard this.

"Why are you so unenlightened, this year Guanzhong encountered such a big natural disaster, even the people near Chang'an can't eat, if I marry the county lord, it must cost a lot, in this kind of famine years to spend a lot of money, even if others don't say, I and the county lord are not comfortable, with this money it is better to give more relief to the people, so I plan to wait for the New Year, and then hold a grand wedding." Ma Ye glanced at Li Xiu at this time and said, he also asked the county lord of Guanghua for his opinion on this matter, and the other party also agreed very much.

"That's why!" Li Xiu also showed a clear expression when he heard this, it was indeed a little inappropriate to hold a wedding in this kind of famine year, but then his eyes lit up and he proposed again, "Uncle Ma, I think you can change your mind!" ”

"What do you mean?" Ma Ye was also stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand Li Xiu's thoughts.

"It's very simple, you just said, it's a year of famine, and many people can't eat, so you and the county lord can't bear to hold a wedding, but I don't think you and the county lord's wedding should be postponed, after all, you and the county lord are not young people, but then you can take out the wedding expenses, buy rice, grain, meat, salt, etc., and distribute them to the people who really can't eat, so that the people can be relieved, and secondly, you and the county lord will also make a name for you, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" Li Xiu suggested with a smile.

"Huh? Your kid's brain is good, why didn't I think of that! Ma Ye's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, but then he showed a hesitant expression and said, "But in this way, the wedding must be simplified, isn't this too aggrieved by the county lord?" ”

"Uncle Ma, you are thinking wrong, isn't the purpose of holding a wedding to the people of the world to announce that a couple is officially married, but if you exchange all the money for the wedding into food and distribute it to the surrounding victims, wouldn't it be better for more people to know about your marriage with the county lord, and you can also get the gratitude of countless people, the county lord is a kind woman, I believe she will definitely approve of this matter!" Li Xiu patted his chest and reassured.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Ma Ye immediately felt a little more confident, and nodded immediately and said, "Okay, then I'll discuss it with the county lord tomorrow, if she agrees, then we will have the wedding before the year!" ”

"That's right, Hate Er is looking forward to you and the county lord getting married as soon as possible, so that she will also have a father's child!" Li Xiu saw that Ma Ye agreed, and immediately praised him, he was also proud of his genius idea, with his understanding of the Guanghua County Lord, the other party would definitely not object.

"By the way, speaking of hate, how did you do the things I asked you to do last time?" As soon as he mentioned hate, Ma Ye immediately put his own affairs behind him, and then asked with a concerned face.

"What did you ask me to do? What's up? Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically.

"Why did you forget, didn't I ask you to observe that Shangguan Yi more last time to see if he can be worthy of hatred?" Ma Ye saw that Li Xiu had forgotten, and he was so angry that he slapped his hands at the moment.

"It turned out to be this matter, Uncle Ma, don't worry, I've always kept it in mind, this time when I went out, I deliberately took Shangguan Yi with me, in order to observe his character, now on the surface, Shangguan Yi is very good, but this person is separated from the belly, no one is sure what his real character is, and I don't think Ha'er needs to be too anxious, it's better to finish your marriage with the county lord first, and then it's not too late to think about Ha'er!" Li Xiu slapped his head when he heard this.

In fact, he thinks Shangguan Yi's character is good, but he is not even seventeen years old now, and no matter what, he has to wait until she is eighteen to marry, so Li Xiu also deliberately delayed, not to mention that he feels that Shangguan Yi doesn't seem to have any plans to start a family recently.

"My marriage with the county lord is going to be done, and the marriage of Hate Er can't be delayed, I heard that someone has already gone to Shangguanyi to propose marriage in person, what if someone gets the first to get on the road?" Ma Ye was very anxious, he finally had a suitable candidate, and he didn't want to let Hya'er miss it.

"You don't have to worry about this, I let people probe Shangguanyi's tone, he has no plans to get married for the time being, and now he lives in the yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, ordinary people can't get in, and others can't see him if they want to propose, and I usually have me watching, and I will never let others rob your son-in-law!" Li Xiu reassured at this time.

"Then you keep an eye on it recently, don't let people take the lead, and as soon as I get married to the county lord, I will immediately propose to the hate!" Ma Ye heard Li Xiu's repeated assurances, and finally felt a little relieved at the moment.

Early the next morning, Ma Ye went to discuss the wedding with the county lord of Guanghua, and as expected by Li Xiu, the county lord of Guanghua also agreed with Li Xiu's method, which also made Ma Ye very happy, and immediately began to organize the wedding, Li Xiu wanted to help, but it turned out that the old people of the women's army heard that Ma Ye was going to get married, and almost all of them rushed back, and even the business of the caravan was stopped, everyone was busy with the wedding, and Li Xiu couldn't help at all.

In addition to Ma Ye's marriage, there is another thing that is even more gratifying, that is, after Li Shimin's canonization document was sent to the grassland, Xue Yantuo's Yi Nan was very happy to accept the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, the Tang army assembled at the border, which made Jieli frightened and hurriedly shrank his troops, and no one dared to mention the matter of looting in the south.

As time goes by, the weather is getting colder and colder, and Ma Ye's marriage has been set for the twentieth day of the lunar month, and there are still nearly two months to prepare, but at this time, suddenly there is another great news coming!
