The situation in the seven counties of Shazhou is becoming more and more stable, and Wei Shuo finally has the energy to put the marriage on the agenda. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yang Han, Du Jin and others also intend to take advantage of the wedding to invite heroes from all walks of life to gather in Gaochang to show their strength to the outside world.

On this day, Wei Shuo, Yang Han, Song Xuan, Zhang Zhan, Zong Chang and others got together to discuss the details of the wedding.

Yang Han pinched his chin and said with a smile: "Holding a wedding for Naoyuan is the most celebrateable thing in several years. ”

"In addition, the two great victories in Hexi and Gaochang have just been achieved, and it is destined to be a big deal."

"Not to mention that the scene must be extremely luxurious, at least it must be worthy of our own face, right?"

"Yes, yes, what the old man said is very true." As soon as Yang Han's words fell, everyone echoed them.

Even Song Xuan, who has always advocated frugality, nodded frequently and said: "The people who came to attend the wedding this time came from all over the world. ”

"There are not only envoys from the Western Regions, but also envoys from Houliang and Western Qin, and even the Tuyuhun people on the snowy plateau are also interested in coming to watch the ceremony."

"After preliminary calculations, the wedding for the lord this time will cost at least about 100,000 yuan."

"What?! 100,000? After listening to the offer, Wei Shuo jumped up in fright.

He pointed at Song Miao and shook his head again and again: "No, no...... No way! The expenses are too big and must be cut. ”

"Nowadays, all over the country is in ruins, and money is needed everywhere, how can you spend a huge amount of money for a wedding alone."

"Naoyuan, if you don't say anything about this, don't intervene." Yang Han unceremoniously rejected Wei Shuo.

"Why?! This is my marriage, how can I not express my opinion? ”

"Personally, it's your marriage, that's right!"

"But as a landlord in Shazhou, marriage is no longer your private affair, but also the official affair of the entire Shazhou."

"If it's just a wedding, it won't cost so much."

"However, this wedding provided an opportunity for Shazhou to show itself to the outside world, and it was also the first time that Shazhou officially dealt with the outside world."

"If we can't show the best side of Shazhou, we will be ashamed."

Yang Han's words made Wei Shuo speechless, in fact, since the last marriage with the Guo family, he has understood.

In ancient times, the marriage of the monarch has always been accompanied by complex entanglements of interests, and there has always been no distinction between public and private.

However, historical experience tells Wei Shuo that the public and private transactions are not clear, and sooner or later something will happen.

So, he pondered for a moment and said to everyone: "Everyone, Shuo understands why everyone is making a big deal about the marriage, and I also agree with everyone's practices and ideas. ”

"But...... However, I have a word in advance. ”

"The ministers are willing to listen to the lord's orders."

"All expenses at the wedding are shared by the Guardian and the Protectorate, and the official expenses of the envoys are paid by the Metropolitan Protectorate."

"All the rest of the expenses on private matters will be handed over to the Wei government."

"Hiss......" Everyone present gasped after listening to Wei Shuo's explanation of the details of the separation of public and private.

They are all extremely intelligent, how can they not understand Wei Shuo's hard work.

There have always been emperors who used the treasury many times for selfish desires, so that the imperial court could not make ends meet, which eventually led to the collapse of the dynasty.

If Shazhou implements the system of separating public and private affairs, the future rulers will no longer be able to use the state treasury to satisfy their own selfish desires.

If you want to live a good life, you naturally have to be careful in your budget, which also restricts the extravagance of the superiors on the other hand.

Next, Wei Fu will bear at least 40,000 yuan in expenses, and everyone is worried that Wei Shuo will not be able to come up with so much money.

Who knew that a few days later, the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion would transport the entire 40,000 copper coins to the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion

Originally, Wei Shuo really couldn't come up with so much money, but fortunately, Yin E returned from the West and brought back a large amount of income for him.

Coupled with the balance of the government treasury in the past two years, it was enough to make up this huge amount.

Before, he never thought that holding a marriage would turn him from a huge rich man to a destitute overnight.

……

When the whole of Shazhou was busy for Wei Shuo's wedding, all parties also received invitations one after another.

"Su'er, Fu'er, who among you is willing to go to Gaochang to congratulate on behalf of your father?"

At the mention of Gaochang, Lu Su and Lu Fu couldn't help but think of Wei Shuo, who had repeatedly made them deflated, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and unnatural.

"What? You don't want to? Lu Guang frowned, and his sharp gaze swept back and forth over his two sons.

"This, this, this ......"

Lu Fu and Lu Su each had a hard time speaking, and they couldn't admit that they were afraid of Wei Shuo in front of Lu Guang.

"Are you two reluctant to go because you are afraid of being embarrassed, or have you lost confidence by Wei Shuo?"

"If it's just a fear of embarrassment, it's not a big deal."

"No one's life can be smooth, and they always have to suffer some losses and fall on their heels."

"As long as you learn a lesson from this, be ashamed and brave, and have the opportunity to seek revenge on Wei Shuo in the future."

"But if you lose faith......

Speaking of this, Lu Guang suddenly leaned forward and stared fiercely at his two sons.

"You don't need outsiders to do it, Lao Tzu will abolish you now."

"I think I, Lu Guang Hero, will never allow future generations to be useless waste like you."

Listening to Lu Guang's vicious warning, Lu Su and Lu Fu were immediately frightened, and they knelt on the ground one after another and expressed their willingness to go to Gaochang.

"That's it, both of you go to Gaochang, don't disappoint the old man, otherwise you will look good."

Lü Guang made the final decision, and Lü Su and Lü Fu had to obey orders.

At the same time, the lord of Western Qin begged for a return and also sent envoys to Shazhou.

However, the begging for Qiangui to congratulate him is fake, and its real purpose is to unite Shazhou to deal with Houliang together.

……

The wedding date is approaching, and the envoys from all parties have arrived in Gaochang one after another, and many people are in Gaochang for the first time, and they are all shocked by its prosperity and wealth.

Even the two brothers Lu Su and Lu Fu had to sigh, except that the scale of the city was not as good as Guzang, and Gaochang in all other aspects had far surpassed Guzang.

The envoys from all sides felt a vigorous and energetic spirit from the local people, which contained enough power to change the heavens and the earth, and once it burst out in the future, it was feared that no one would be invincible.

Among the congratulatory crowds from all sides, Shizhen from Tuyuhun was also observing Gaochang with a pair of eyes.

The reason why Gaochang attracted the attention of Tuyuhun was mainly due to the Khotanese people.

At the beginning, the Western Regions coalition army defeated Gaochang, and the king of Khotan returned to the royal city to trumpet the power of Gaochang people, which gradually attracted the attention of Tuyuhun, who was separated from Khotan by a mountain.

The leader of Tuyuhun, Shilian, sent his younger brother to Gaochang as an envoy, and saw that he was investigating Gaochang's reality and reality, and secondly, he also had the idea of forming an ally with Gaochang.

When Shizhen came to the post house, he found that it was full of people, including envoys from the countries of the Western Regions.

Many of the envoys of the hostile forces were still glaring angrily, and if it weren't for the presence of a sergeant next to him, I am afraid that someone would have already started a fight.

After looking around for a while, he finally set his eyes on the envoys of Houliang and Western Qin.

Speaking of which, the biggest threat facing Tuyuhun is that in addition to the Qiang people in the dense mountains and forests of the plateau, there are only powerful neighbors -- Xiqin and Houliang.

The area ruled by Tuyuhun was originally inhabited by the Qiang people, and the clan and Qiang were its main tribes. The back of Qiang and Shi directly affects the rise and fall of Tuyuhun.

In addition to subduing them by force and driving the Qiang people to cultivate and graze for them, the Tuyuhun rulers also adopted the means of entrapment against the upper echelons of the Qiang people.

From the establishment of the political power in Tuyan to the establishment of Shilian, during this period, in the northern, eastern, western, and northern areas, there were successively established Qianliang, Qianqin, Houliang, Xiqin and other separatist regimes.

Each of these countries was stronger than Tuyuhun, and it was only because of the constant wars between them that they were unable to annex Tuyuhun.

The Western Qin, Houliang and Tuyuhun are close to each other, and they are unwilling to sit back and watch Tuyuhun grow, and have been eyeing it.

Among them, the Western Qin sent troops to attack Tuyuhun and occupied the counties of Tuxi, Changchuan and Gansong, which were originally controlled by Tuyuhun.

However, Tuyuhun itself lacks strength, and in the face of persecution from all sides, he can only adopt the strategy of maneuvering between the opposing regimes and maintaining friendly exchanges with all sides, so as to win space for his own development.

Regarding Tugu Hun Vision's intentions, Wei Shuo could guess somewhat.

Now the Tuyuhun country is weak, and can only reluctantly maneuver between countries.

It wasn't until thirty years later, during the reign of his son, that Tuyuhun became truly powerful.
