More than a month later, Xun Cai and Chen Tao finally became married with the blessing of everyone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is also equivalent to the beginning of the marriage between the Yingchuan Xun family and the former Xiapi Chen family, and now the Taoyuan Chen family. The family's connections largely relied on marriages, and the later three wives and four concubines were also largely to facilitate the marriage of the family.

Xun Cai is a side woman of the Yingchuan Xun family, but Chen Tao is Chen Qiu's concubine. It looks similar, but in fact, Xun Cai's status is higher than Chen Tao's, and this marriage is actually a 'lower marriage'. Fortunately, Xun Cai does not have the kind of brutality as a daughter of a family, she is as obedient as a bird, and many people say that Chen Tao is blessed.

Not to mention the others, as Li Ling gets older and older, more and more people come to propose marriage. Even if everyone knows that Li Ling is not Li Yu's own sister, she is even just a mountain man, and she has a bit of O-shaped legs, and she is not very beautiful. Marrying her means becoming a relative of Li Yu and Li Wen, and it is impossible to say that he can still have a relationship with the Li family in Longxi.

Just for this, even Gu Yong has been close to Li Ling intentionally or unintentionally recently, which is also a direct manifestation of the Jiangdong family's recognition of the Li family in Lingyang. It's just that Li Yu rejected their proposal, and only said that she would choose by herself. In fact, he can see that Xiao Nizi and Zu Lang have been very close recently, and the relationship between the two has become a little unclear, so he is waiting for Zu Lang to propose to him.

The reason why it hasn't been there is mainly because Zu Lang, as an officer, has become a captain, and he needs to focus on the army. Seeing that the army has begun to be reorganized, there are too many things to deal with, and he will not have so much time to deal with personal matters for a while.

This is indeed a bit of a disadvantage to Li Ling, but since it is the choice of the two of them, Li Yu acquiesces. Besides, he doesn't want to have too much to do with those big families, it's okay at this stage, but maybe he will become an enemy in the future. At that time, if Li Lingruo marries those children of the family, he is afraid that he will suffer, and even accidentally 'die'.

Huang Zhong's family had a little more life, and Mrs. Huang gave birth to a child for him, named Wudie. The eldest son, Huang Xu, has completely improved his illness, and even after more than three years of recuperation, he is no different from his peers. However, he was sick for too long and missed the age of learning martial arts, so he enrolled in school at the suggestion of Li Yu, planning to take the route of a civilian official or a civilian officer in the army.

Guan Yu picked up his wife and eldest son in his hometown in Hedong, and the eldest son Guan Ping was his biological son, not the so-called righteous son in Romance. The key is that Mrs. Guan has been happy again recently, and maybe Guan Xing will be born next year.

Dian Wei's wife naturally took over, including his brother Dian Jie. It's just that Dian Jie doesn't want to be a leader, but he has set up a joint venture with the government to set up a metal smelter, specializing in alloy technology and metallurgical technology.

Maybe he is a craftsman himself, but the status of craftsmen in history is too low, not to mention that he is Dian Wei's elder brother, seeing that Dian Wei hung up, he can only take on the heavy responsibility of the family, and he has no choice but to become a general.

By the way, Xiao Dianman also came along, this little guy is a natural violent, and he can already bully his peers at the age of more than two. In fact, Li Yu knows that Dian Wei is often not at home, and Mrs. Dian is inevitably easy to attract gossip, and it is difficult for Dian Wei to protect his mother, and in the final analysis, he is also a filial son.

Zu Mao's wife gave him another daughter, but the eldest daughter was engaged to Chen Deng, Chen Qi's son. It's just that in this way, the development of the ancestral family still depends on Zulang's side. After having two daughters in a row, Zu Mao can be regarded as resigned to his fate.

Huang Gai's eldest son, Huang Shan, is six years old this year, just enrolled in school, and takes the civil official route.

Li Yu paid attention to the situation of these courtiers, especially these second and even third generations. In this era, it is common for a person to work in the position all his life, but Li Yu believes that there is no need for this.

Not to mention age, the force will have declined, and the physical fitness is much worse than before. Just talking about reaction speed and logical ability will degrade a lot, and it is very rare to be not confused at the age of eighty.

The cultivation of the second and even the third generation is very important, and as for the average courtier, it is time to retire at the age of sixty-five. Perhaps this will leave 'old men' like Huang Gai or Huang Zhong with regrets, but the world of a regime should not be supported by these old generals.

In fact, they still have places to exert their residual heat, such as the General Staff Headquarters, such as military academies, anyway, it is a profession that can go home on the same day. At their age, enjoy the rest of their lives and tease their grandchildren is the greatest happiness.

Time passed little by little, and the imperial court transferred several new county orders to the autonomous region to take office. There are no familiar historical figures in it, but most of them are from the family, and a few are from the poor family.

It's not that Li Yu has the habit of collecting historical figures, of course, he doesn't deny it. It can only be said that since he can become a famous general in history, or even a famous minister in history, it proves his talent in itself. Leaving people who already know their talents is not used, but they have to figure out whether the people trained around them are talents, which is a waste in itself.

As for the new county order, whether they can adapt to their own system and are willing to disclose their finances is not something that Li Yu needs to manage. Anyway, if it's not public, just change it, this is his bottom line!

Time passed little by little, and 184 years passed quietly, and it came to the spring of 185.

At the end of last year, another batch of tax revenue was transported to Luoyang, even if it was a waste of money to digest the new territory, but the expansion of the territory also brought about a further increase in tax revenue.

The success of Bashu's plan gave Liu Hong a little respite. Originally, he only needed to continue to run Bashu and consolidate the hard-won power here. As a Chinese person, it is inevitable that there will be a plot of returning to the roots. Jizhou is his hometown, which was originally his foundation, and he doesn't want to give up so soon.

The tax reported by Li Yu was very clever, divided into two accounts, of which sixty percent soon went into the internal treasury, which was not in the account book. Only forty percent of them took the orthodox route into storage, but the accounts were done very well, and in this era of imperfect account records, it was too simple to make fake accounts.

With the money, Liu Hong began to further increase his investment, wanting to recover the lost territory to the greatest extent before the family occupied an important official position in Jizhou. As for the success or not, it is not yet known.

This year's replanted high-yield crops have been very successful, and the bumper harvest in the Sili area and even the Central Plains, coupled with the development of various tastings, has made the three crops completely break the blockade of the family and are famous all over the world.

There is an endless stream of merchants from all over the world, most of whom are small merchants, and the family's enthusiasm for these three crops is not high, or for them, the practice of slash-and-burn cultivation is the most suitable for their needs.

The counties bordering the autonomous regions were arguably the first to benefit, and they made a fortune just by relying on the sale of seeds and the cultivation techniques of three crops. Not to mention the products after rough processing, the sales are even hotter.

Low-cost, high-yield crops have entered the areas north of the Yangtze River as food and into many people's homes. As a result, the price of grain has fallen, and the family, which had been expecting a sharp increase in food prices after the war, can only be saddened. Even some small and medium-sized families who speculated on food collapsed as a result.

Those big gates, the great families, also began to think about the future.

There is no way to block high-yielding crops, so it may not be easy for food prices to continue to rise in the future. Unless the official road is further damaged secretly and the transportation cost is raised, it doesn't seem to make much sense.

Why was the transportation inconvenient in ancient times, and why the convenient Qin Dynasty railway was abandoned, in the final analysis, it was not because the rise in transportation costs could also lead to the increase in grain prices?

If you can't curb it, then you have to follow the trend. It is said that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Hongnong Yang clan and the Longxi Li clan joined forces and converted most of the fields into cotton fields, and the rest were mainly sorghum and high-yielding crops.

Potatoes are not very demanding on the land, and can be grown in the arid fields of the northwest. Many families are still very unfamiliar with cotton, but people who have always paid attention to the autonomous region will naturally value this crop.

Cottonseed can be used for oil, cotton can be used for weaving, and the remaining stems and leaves can also be used to make green storage for feeding cattle, sheep and horses that overwinter. Li Yu provided green storage technology to the Li family and Hongnong Yang family in Longxi for free, which also directly improved the development of animal husbandry in the northwest, and the scale was several times larger than before.

The development direction of the Li family in Longxi has been determined, mainly in animal husbandry; The direction of Hongnong Yang was also determined, and they planned to enter the cotton textile industry. The resources of the two families will gradually be inclined towards capitalism, and even with the transportation between Hongnong and Longxi, the two are also improving to the maximum.

Business mainly relies on transportation, this is the truth that everyone knows, everyone used to play with food, so it doesn't matter if the traffic is inconvenient, there are official roads, and other small roads are not very good to go. Nowadays, there are no trade routes, and trade cannot be developed without trade roads.

Others, such as the Taiyuan Wang family, the Jiangxia Huang family, and the Runan Yuan family, also had to prepare for the new requirements of the new era. On the business side, they have increased their leaning. But the prospects are not very optimistic, so the investment is not much larger. In the end, the concept has not changed, and I still want to sit and wait for the land to make money, and I don't want to bother to run a business.

On the contrary, such as the Yingchuan Chen family, the Yingchuan Xun family, the Cao family of Qiaoxian and the Xiahou family of Qiaoxian County, etc., tilted sixty percent of the family funds towards commerce and industry. Even more prescient families have begun to quietly transform.

Winemaking, animal husbandry, textiles, restaurants, green houses and paper making are common industries. It's not that they don't plan to operate metallurgy, it's just that the monopoly of salt and iron is the policy of the imperial court, and it's not easy for them to interfere too much.

Many people act a little naïve, or even just operate for the sake of business, never thinking about how to operate and how to compete. All this is too far away from them, and they always have to absorb some lessons to grow.

It's not that no one has ever thought of using political means to restrict it, but the problem is that when the grain can no longer be sold at a good price, it is just self-deception to continue to focus on it.

Whether they want to or not, they are forced or semi-forced to change. Even with the big man, it quietly changed. (To be continued.) )
