In the spring of 205 AD, after a few months of rest, Hebei was reduced to a war zone, and the people temporarily settled down.

The post-war recovery mechanism of Dachu is very perfect, and more than half of the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Corps are instantly transformed into engineering soldiers, first repairing all the official roads, and then sorting out the ruins of key cities.

At this time, the real engineering team will take the organized refugees to carry out post-war reconstruction work, so that everyone can repair the infrastructure of the city, and at the same time dredge the river and reclaim the fields. Prior to this, there are already special agronomists who will investigate and arrange next year's agricultural plan to ensure that the necessary food can meet the needs of the people, and cotton and other cash crops will be planted at the same time, so that land and time will not be wasted.

At the same time, several families rented tools provided by the imperial court to cut down trees to make wooden planks and other materials, and even bought some masonry and concrete to build houses. If the condition is poor, repair the house and make do with it.

I have to say that in these years, the people are very simple, and their needs are just as simple as food and clothing and 'living'. However, with the opening of several private schools and bookstores one after another, children who have reached school age are called to report for study, and the numb eyes of the people are a little more vibrant.

Yes, at present, Dachu's financial resources have allowed a certain degree of compulsory education, which is only three years before and after, but the enlightenment education has been basically completed, and the rest can only rely on schoolchildren to study on their own, or go to more professional schools to study. In fact, as long as they are admitted to the children, then the county schools will also recruit them. If the tuition fee is insufficient, you can still work part-time.

All this was not available to Yuan Shao and even the Han Dynasty before, and the people were naturally grateful to Dade. The Maison was unhappy with this, but they knew better that in the general environment, they simply did not have the right to speak.

Not to mention anything else, Wang Yu's army of expeditions to the north can be watched from the sidelines. Especially when the supervision departments came to the counties one after another, and the new county orders were put in place one after another, they found that the previous tricks were no longer playable.

Either compromise, or the family gradually declines or even breaks, or directly migrates to live in Guanzhong. Most of the families could not leave their homeland, so they finally chose to be obedient and compromised. There are also many families who hope to further establish a relationship with Da Chu.

Marriage is always a way to strengthen relationships and communication between families. So the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army received invitations from the Hebei families, and at the same time as going to the mansion for a banquet, they would introduce their daughters or granddaughters to the generals, Wei Yan, Guan Yu, Tai Shici, Long Er, He Qi and Bai Xin are also said to have accepted concubines at the suggestion of the royal family.

In the original words of the royal family, it is: "You are all very good generals, and your descendants must be extraordinary, and a family needs a large number of outstanding descendants to maintain and continue." You are either young or in the prime of life, but you should consider it as well. ”

Yes, a family first needs the joint efforts of all relatives, and the education and development of the next generation is equally important. It is said that if the next generation has a gentleman, then the savings of the previous generation will be destroyed, and the difference between the nouveau riche and the family is here. Three generations of poor families have become families, and three generations of nouveau riche have become poor X.

The Bai family's status has not been obvious since the pre-Qin period, and the Long family has no outstanding talents except for Long Er, not to mention that Tai Shici has declined, not to mention He Qi and Guan Yu, they are both from poor families, so they have no relatives to help, and if the family wants to develop, it must rely on itself and the next generation.

Obviously, in the end, they were moved, so there were one or two more concubines in the family, and maybe a few new ones will be added next year.

"I'm back!" Greeted by Li Ming, Xun Cai and others, Li Chong finally returned to Shouchun's home. Surprisingly, he was accompanied by a 22-year-old young woman.

At first glance, I only feel that the country is beautiful and fragrant, even Li Ming can't help but lose his mind for a second, but he has also seen the world, and the Diao Chan around him can be described as the best in the world, and it is inevitable that other women will not be so rude when they look at other women.

"This is Zhen Mi, the youngest daughter of the Zhen family of Wei County...... That, the child hopes to take her as a concubine. Li Chong introduced the woman next to him to his parents a little shyly, and looked at Dong Bai on the side cautiously.

"Humph!" Dong Bai pouted and pinned his head to the side, Wang Xi didn't forget it, but he didn't expect that there would be another Zhen Mansion. This little girl from the northwest showed her dissatisfaction on her face without any scruples.

"Hahaha, if Chong'er likes it, then we don't support anything! It's just that I'm curious, why hasn't a woman like Zhen Mi been married so far? Li Ming listened to Li Chong's introduction and knew that she was 22 years old, 2 years older than Li Chong. With such a beauty, it is impossible for her parents not to help them get engaged, and it is even possible for them to become their own children at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

"Yes, her parents loved her very much, so they hoped to marry at the age of eighteen. However, he was engaged to Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, and later Yuan Shao's situation was turbulent, and the marriage was postponed, and then with Yuan Xi being expelled from Yuan Valve, the marriage also collapsed. Li Chong hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Then how did she and you meet?" Li Ming asked with interest. He already roughly knows who Zhen Mi is, and it should be the prototype of Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu". However, in memory, Zhen Mi should be called Zhen Luo.

Well, it's almost forty people, and maybe it's not surprising that the memory is a little skewed.

"Last year, the child listened to the command of Uncle Wang and participated in the campaign against Yuan Shao, and entered Yecheng with the army. At that time, the child was responsible for maintaining law and order in Yecheng......" Li Chong said slowly.

When he said this, Li Ming quipped with interest: "Could it be that the hero just saved the United States?" ”

remembers that Zhao Yun is like this, saved Gan Qian, and then achieved a marriage, and now has two sons, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang. I heard that Zhao Yun was in Youzhou and accepted Gongsun Du's young daughter as a concubine, and it is estimated that there will be no shortage of people in the Zhao family.

"The Zhen family is the family of Wei County, and it is also the largest grain merchant in Jizhou, and Mi'er's mother's maiden family, Zhongshan Zhang, is one of the largest horse merchants in Hebei. With such a net worth, how can you be bullied? It's just that...... At that time, Zhen's mother took the initiative to push Mi'er out......" Li Chong said this, and suddenly became a little embarrassed.

At that time, Zhen's mother brought Zhen Mi out and said: "Zhen Mi saw Li Chong in the crowd and immediately fell in love at first sight. She also feels that in today's troubled times, it is important for women to find a responsible man to marry. I don't know that Li Chong is actually Li Ming's eldest son, but he looks mighty and extraordinary, and his temperament is also very expensive, so he should be a good match. ”

Later, when he learned that Li Chong was actually Li Ming's eldest son, although he didn't show it, he became more enthusiastic. Maybe for her, this marriage can be regarded as a real bet!

Li Chong actually didn't plan to take a concubine at first, but I have to say that Zhen Mi is indeed too beautiful, which makes it difficult for him to forget. Her figure kept appearing in his mind, and the longer the time passed, the clearer it became, and finally he understood that he might also fall in love with Zhen Mi at first sight, and he didn't intend to hide and deny his feelings.

Of course, after that, on the Wang Yu's side, he didn't wear less small shoes.
