Chapter 252: Family Marriage
Liu Ebei's official residence is relatively low-key, it looks like there is nothing special with other officials' houses, even the number is random No. 0317, only insiders know that this is the residence of the mayor of Maozhou, this arrangement needless to say, is someone's "foresight", a posture for fear of being plotted.
When the two of them met Liu Ebei, Mayor Liu still had a good impression of Zhang Boyu, especially when he learned that he was Kong Yuling's mother's family, he was a lot more cordial, cordial and cordial, when it came to marriage, he still found an excuse to support Brother Boyu, leaving only the two fathers and sons to talk in detail.
Commander Liu was not too shy, and wanted to marry his three wives into the door, so he talked about them one by one, and made some appropriate adjustments to the "land division marriage" mentioned by Zhang Boyu. Liu Ebei smiled, without a trace of embarrassment, and did not say his arrangement until he listened to everything.
Liu Ebei believes that how to divide the land and how to get married is actually false, and the most important thing is "what do these three women think", do they agree with each other? If you agree, you should also consider their feelings, Kong Yuling is the eldest wife, no matter what should be discussed, this is the minimum respect and courtesy.
At this point, Commander Liu also had to nod, because the situation is stronger than people, Kong Yuling is the eldest daughter of Kong Xiangxi, or the righteous daughter of Lao Jiang and Sister Meiling, it is inevitable to be his eldest wife, otherwise he would not want to mix in the time and space of the Republic of China, of course, Yin Qinlan and Shang Qing'er also need to be handled properly, after all, face is given to each other.
Miss Yin is Yin Changheng's illegitimate daughter, slightly worse than Kong Yuling, and Mr. Yin also made a statement in advance, he doesn't care about Yin Qinlan's marriage, and let the old Liu family in western Sichuan deal with it, this is just a polite remark, if anyone takes it seriously, it is Liu Yun and Liu Ebei who are uncomfortable with themselves.
As for Shang Qing'er, not only is she the fallen princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but also the adopted daughter of Prince Changziuchi of Japan, even if China and Japan are at war, Prince Changziuchi must also get due respect, this person not only never participated in the war between China and Japan, but devoted himself to international charity, and his influence in the international community is relatively large, even if these two fathers and sons want to mess around, Lao Jiang will not allow it, after all, the influence on China in the international community is not good.
Therefore, the idea of "dividing land and getting married" is still quite feasible, and Lao Jiang must also open one eye and close one eye, otherwise once the trouble starts, it will not only be a private matter of the Liu family in western Sichuan, but also a major event involving international influence, just to see how the old Liu family operates.
After an analysis and discussion, all links began to plump up, compared to Liu Yun and Zhang Boyu's closed-door construction, how much stronger, Commander Liu only then knew that his father was powerful, these years have indeed been in Taoguang to raise obscurity, it was really condescending to Liu Wenhui to be a staff member before, Liu Wenhui did not reuse Liu Ebei, it is really a big loss.
Bounced the dust on his body, Liu Ebei stood up and said proudly, "Yicheng don't worry, just wait for your father to finish this matter one by one, Qin Lan is a good boy, what she has done over the years, your father has seen it, your marriage should be simple and fast, well, just hold a family banquet."
"As for Shang Qing'er, if she wants, she will marry Qin Lan together, and hold a wedding for your father to hold a wedding for you, and all the treatment and etiquette will be treated equally, and Qin Lan will not object if she wants to come." Of course, if Shang Qing'er herself is unwilling, just do it, and save a lot of hands and feet, and report it to Jiang Gong."
Liu Ebei changed his voice, looked at Liu Yun, and said kindly, "Since my father held a wedding for you and Qinlan, it is not suitable to go to Wuhan in person to witness the marriage of Kong Yuling for you.
Liu Ebei's face is not enough, what is this, is there anyone who dares not to give face? Liu Yun was also shocked, and was about to say something to ask the reason, but his father explained with a smile, "Your child is impatient, think about it yourself, how did Liu Xiang, Liu Wencai, and Lao Jiang get their home?" ”
Liu Xiang and Liu Wencai both started as low-level officers, and later the warlords fought and the situation in Sichuan changed, and they gradually stepped into today's positions. As for Lao Jiang in Nanjing, Liu Yun knows better, he used to be a stock speculator in Shanghai, and he was also an ordinary person, and he started from the Whampoa Military Academy, so he has today's status and achievements.
After his son finished speaking one by one, Liu Ebei asked with a smile, "Child, you have been in control of the Western Sichuan Prefecture for a few years, why haven't you risen like Jiang Gong or Er Liu?" ”
Liu Yun actually thought about this question, isn't it the right time now, Erliu is a good time to catch up with the warlords, Lao Jiang is to catch up with the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, and when he saw Liu Ebei, who seemed to be smiling, he knew that he had guessed wrong, and suddenly thought of a little, and couldn't help but shout, "So that's the case."
The famous generals in the Sichuan army are like clouds, not to mention Xiong Kewu, Liu Cunhou, Liu Zhaoming and others, just Deng Xihou, Yang Sen, Pan Wenhua, none of them are easy to mess with, why only Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui stand out, is it because they are particularly capable of fighting? Probably about the same as each other. Is it because of special luck?
Yes, Er Liu's luck is really good, one has become the king of Sichuan, and the other has become the king of Xikang, so lucky that they don't even believe it. So, if not particularly lucky, what's going on? That is the family power of the old Liu family in Sichuan.
The four major families of the Republic of China are almost known to the world, but the big families entrenched in various provinces and places are little known, the Liu family in Sichuan, the Yan family in Shanxi, the Kong family in Shandong, the Zhang family in the Northeast, etc., none of them are not big families with power all over the provinces and places, the wealth is almost rivaled by the country, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world.
Of course, it is not that Chen Guofu, Chen Lifu, and Song Ziwen and others are good people or good people, but on the contrary, these people or their families see that compared with these old big families, their original accumulation is seriously insufficient, so they have intensified the chaos, which is also human nature, and the consequences are notorious.
In the same way, why was Chiang Kai-shek able to dominate Nanjing? The Whampoa Military Academy is just one of many factors, and the real reason why he defeated Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, Liao Zhongkai and others and became the first person in the Republic of China is his economic strength and talent reserves.
Therefore, Liu Ebei's meaning, Liu Yun understands it, his marriage to Kong Yuling is not the marriage of a small farmer's family, but a marriage between big families, although Liu Ebei is the mayor, but not the spokesperson of the old Liu family in Sichuan, so of course his face is not enough, in order to avoid embarrassment, it is logical not to go to Wuhan.
Originally, Liu Yun, a doctor who studied in the United States, married the illegitimate daughter of Kong Caishen, there is really no need to be so troublesome, as long as the parents of both sides nod their heads and simply hold a ceremony. But it's different now, Commander Liu is the king of western Sichuan, and he is already the new spokesperson of the old Liu family, if he does something hastily, isn't he slapping Liu's family in the face, and the huge Liu family is willing to give up.
What's more, Kong Yuling's identity is not what it used to be, she is not only the eldest daughter of the Kong family, but also the righteous daughter of Chairman Jiang, how can she marry casually, so her marriage with Liu Yun is destined to be a major event between the big families, so as a candidate for the man's representative, Liu Ebei is a little inappropriate.
Of course, Liu Yun and Liu Ebei can also pretend to be crazy together, if they have to go their own way and go to Wuhan to handle the marriage on their own, it means that the Liu family in western Sichuan will collectively declare war with the Kong family and the Liu family, and the consequences will not be said. Even Commander Liu's great dream, as well as the anti-Japanese plan or road construction plan, etc., were declared bankrupt in disguise.
Some people may not understand, with Liu Sanye's warlord style, he is still afraid of this, he might as well take real estate development as an example, is it difficult to engage in real estate? It's not difficult, as long as you have a little money, enclose some land, and hire some construction workers, you can get it out quickly.
However, once you really want to get started, it's really not easy.
First, where did the initial money come from, just do a social financing? That's against the law. Want to borrow from a bank? Sorry, there is a problem with the way you operate, and the bank will not lend. What to do? Cold salad, no money and real estate, isn't it sick?
OK, after three or five years, the problem of funding has finally been solved. When you just want to start building a house, sorry, there is a problem with your land again, and the people want to make trouble because the land has been expropriated, and they want to find the relevant departments or village committees to solve it. Very good, the relevant departments intervened in time, but all kinds of related projects please stop work for the time being. Come on, three or five years have passed.
Of course, these things are not all social problems, or the problems of ordinary people, but more problems of the developers themselves. They want money or not, and the land they enclose is not clear in advance, and they don't know what happened until the start of construction, so they are troubled by all kinds of miscellaneous things, and it is also an inevitable result that things continue to break down in the end.
Real estate development has met this situation is good, after all, it is in the time and space where Liu Yun came, it is a modern civilized society, there is a law, there is an era of order, it is different in the era of the Republic of China, since ancient times, it is popular "the imperial power is not under the county", that is to say, the administrative affairs at the township level are basically controlled by the squires.
Therefore, in the era of the Republic of China, towns and towns at all levels, and even in cities at the administrative level such as provinces, cities, and counties, all kinds of family forces were entrenched.
In other words, Liu Yun's achievements today are not all due to him, Zhinao and ants, because the Liu family in central Sichuan has also made outstanding contributions, at least it is a great credit for not making a hindrance.
If Liu Yun and Liu Ebei don't give Liu Kong's family face this time, then in the future, it will not be as simple as enclosing land and lack of money, but if you want to drink water, someone will take laxatives, if you want to hire a handyman, no one dares to come, if you want to buy rice and vegetables, no one dares to sell it, and if you want to repair some railways, there are some bad things along the way, and in the end, it depends on how you practice.
Therefore, in the face of the rampant family forces, Liu Yun and Liu E looked at each other in the north, so they had to pinch their noses and admit it.
What's more, Liu Yun is still a little cautious, and wants to ask Minister Kong to allocate some money or something, and if he can have a good relationship with Liu Kong's family, he naturally can't ask for it, but even if he is temporary, he wants to ask the old Liu family to come forward to witness the marriage, but because Commander Liu mishandled things during the turmoil in Mao County, he offended Liu Zongyi, one of the three elders, very early, how should he step down.
Fortunately, Liu Ebei personally strategized, not only had already prepared a generous gift and done Liu Zongyi's work, but also found Liu Hanchang, the grandson of Liu Lao, and directly recruited him as the secretary of the mayor of Maozhou City.
Originally, with Liu Hanchang's status and ability, it was naturally impossible to carry out such a "big event", but Liu Ebei was playing Yangmou, saying that he was asking Secretary Liu to go to the event, but in fact he asked Liu Zongyi to come forward in disguise, and the reward was the county magistrate of Wenchuan County, and Liu Sanye himself was the king of western Sichuan, so he was naturally not afraid of not being able to fulfill his promise.
According to the eyeliner report in the city capital, the old Liu family still attaches more importance to Liu Yun's marriage, because Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang seem to be like flowers, but their generation has collectively lost to Lao Jiang and others, and can only shrink in the Chuankang area to survive, what the old Liu family wants to think about is the competition of the next generation.
For now, Liu Yun, the king of western Sichuan, has temporarily won the first place, faintly standing with Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, and has won the respect of Chiang Kai-shek and Li Shengde, although he does not dare to say that he is the first person of the new generation in China, in terms of development trends, Liu Sanye's achievements should not be lower than the current position of Erliu.
Originally, according to the meaning of the old Liu family, it was planned to let Liu Xiang be the representative and go to Wuhan or Nanjing in person to preside over the marriage of Liu Yun's classmates, but considering Lao Jiang's various feelings, such as if Lao Jiang misjudged the situation and made him think that the alliance between the Kong and Liu families was imminent, it would be very bad to oppose his rule, so he did not find a suitable candidate for a while.
