In the first year of Guanghe, the first day of the first month.

Huiji City is festive, and the people are full of happy smiles, not only because today is the New Year's Day, but more importantly, Qian Taishou is getting married today. Today's Qian Kun is in the hearts of the people, even surpassing Ma Zhen Taishou, who built Mirror Lake.

"Qian Taishou got married today, I wish him many children and grandchildren, health and longevity!" An old woman prays in front of her shrine.

"It's too much to keep the wedding, big guy go and take a look!" Children cheered in the streets.

"Okay, good, this year's New Year's Day is the most lively and comfortable in a hundred years, I really hope that Qian Taishou will never go!" The old man with a wooden cane walked out of the house, looked at the festive street, and said to his grandson who followed behind.

A big mansion next to the county government has been renovated, and the lights in the house are colorful, and it is full of joy. This mansion was originally owned by the Wei family, but now it has been given to Qian Kun as a congratulatory gift.

At the door of the house, the clerk was busy recording a gift list, and even the Baiyue tribes in Huiji County sent congratulatory gifts.

At the moment of Shen, in the main hall, the witness Zhu Zhang shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived, please enter the bride and groom!" ”

The bride and groom each came out of the inner courtyard and stood side by side in the center of the main hall.

People lined up all the way to the street, and some children even climbed the trees in the courtyard.

Zhu Zhang then read: "In the past, Hongmeng was opened, yin and yang were materialized, all things were raised, only people were the primates, covered the love of children, and the book and ceremony were spread, and now they are married to the ceremony, see the letter in the guests, eat in the three prisons, drink together, heaven and earth are the evidence, the sun and the moon are the name, and the bride and groom worship!" ”

Qian Kun was about to make a move, when he suddenly heard a scream from outside the hall, "Wait......" This voice was too familiar to Qian Kun, and he couldn't help but whisper to himself: "Ou Yejing!" ”

Ou Yejing bumped into the crowd all the way, ran to the hall, grabbed Qian Kun's ears, and shouted, "Why don't you marry me?" ”

Ou Yeyan, who was chasing after him, saw this scene and was anxious, so he pulled Ou Yejing away, slapped Ou Yejing in the face, and screamed angrily: "Nonsense!" ”

Ou Yejing struggled to break away from Ou Yeyan's hands, covered her face and yelled: "Who is messing around!" I have been married to him for a long time, when I was in Luoyang! ”

When everyone present heard this, they were in an uproar.

Ou Yeyan's face was even more unbearable, and he picked up Ou Yejing and walked straight out of the house.

"Let go of me!" Ou Yejing struggled, looked at Qian Kun with teary eyes, and shouted: "Wood, you are talking!" ”

"Uncle Ou Yan, please wait!" Qian Kun finally spoke, "In those days in Luoyang, I lived in the same room with Miss Ou Yan, and I just lived together, and I didn't go beyond the rules, but it also ruined the girl's reputation." If Miss Ou Yan wants me to be responsible today, I am willing to take it. ”

After Qian Kun finished speaking, he turned his head to face Dou Hua again, bowed down and said, "This is my fault, I must be responsible, please forgive me!" ”

Dou Hua picked up Qian Kun, and said with a choked voice in a soft voice: "I know the personality of my senior brother, and I also know the reputation of the girl, if this sister doesn't dislike it, how about you and I marry the senior brother together today?" Dou Hua burst into tears after speaking, the woman wanted to give her husband to others, but Dou Hua understood that even if she objected, Qian Kun would marry Ou Yejing for her mistakes, and if she cried in court, it would only push Qian Kun to her. So Dou Hua endured the unwillingness in his heart and generously made concessions, so that at least everyone could know that he was a magnanimous person.

Ou Yeyan stood in place with a red face, at a loss, he actually knew that his children liked Qian Kun, and he was willing to marry his daughter to Qian Kun, but the situation just now was embarrassing.

The straightforward Ou Yejing burst into tears and laughed, rushed into the hall, took Dou Hua's hand, and said cordially: "Thank you, sister, sister is so beautiful!" ”

Qian Kun looked at Dou Hua gratefully, and Dou Hua nodded in response.

Zhu Zhang saw a farce turn into double happiness, and then recited again: "Bride and groom worship!" ”

So, Qian Kun bowed to Dou Hua and Ou Yejing respectively.

"Send the bride into the cave room!" Zhu Zhang read hastily, but thought in his heart: It's better to finish the prayer quickly, who knows if there will be another troublemaker.

After the ceremony, everyone congratulated and said, "Congratulations to Lord Taishou for double happiness!" ”

Qian Kun walked in front of Ou Yeyan and bowed: "I've seen my father-in-law!" ”

Ou Yeyan hurriedly helped Qian Kun up, and Lang smiled: "Haha, the virtuous son-in-law is very polite!" ”

The next day, in the study, Qian Kun was flipping through the classics, and the clerk handed over yesterday's gift list, which was full of silk silk three feet wide and two zhang long.

Qian Kun looked at the gift list, and the congratulatory gifts were strange, such as: Zhao Tong sent a Jiaoyu to Cheng County; Zhang'an County ordered Huang Tan to send a white tiger skin; Ou Yeyan sent a spear, probably knowing that Qian Kun was good at using guns; Wang Ba even sent a money leopard......

And one of the congratulatory gifts aroused Qian Kun's interest, and at the end of the gift list, it was written: Pu Chen, 100 catties of iron and stone.

"Someone." Qian Kun called.

Then a government official walked through the door.

"Go and invite the craftsman Pu Chen to come." Qian Kun commanded.

"Yes!" The officials obeyed the order.

Since Qian Kun became the Huiji Taishou, Pu Chen has been building farm tools for the people while looking for iron ore veins. Although iron tools are already very common, they are still too scarce, and there are only more than 100 iron smelting offices in the whole territory of the Han Dynasty, and Huiji has been relying on the Yue people to collect iron ore sporadically and exercise agricultural tools and weapons.

In the middle of the night, Pu Chen hurriedly came and greeted him: "Lord! ”

Qian Kun put down the book in his hand, waved his sleeves and said, "Senior Brother Puchen, sit." ”

Pu Chen sat down on the ground and asked, "The lord summoned his subordinates for a hundred catties of iron and stone?" ”

"Exactly, I wonder if Senior Brother has found the Iron Vein?" Qian Kun asked urgently.

"My subordinates did find iron and stone in Lanzhu Mountain a few days ago, and the hundred catties of high-grade iron stone were obtained from it, but they haven't been carefully investigated, and I don't know if it's an iron vein." Pu Chen replied.

"Great, if I can find the iron vein, I will be able to improve agriculture and the army several times!" Qian Kun said happily.

Pu Chen got up and arched his hand and said, "My subordinates will organize people to investigate." ”

Qian Kun also got up and arched his hand: "There is Senior Brother Lao Puchen!" ”

In the following days, Qian Kun accompanied Dou Hua back to Yu Ji's residence, but found that Yu Ji had already traveled, leaving only words on the inside of the house: travel far away for the teacher, don't read it in vain.

A month later, Lanzhu Mountain was bustling with activity, and iron-making furnaces were built by masons.

Qian Kun summoned a hundred smelting masters from the Baiyue tribes to cast iron tools with Pu Chen; Two thousand farmers were also recruited to dig iron ore.

Time has come to the end of the year in the blink of an eye, perhaps it is the joy of the New Year's Day, which makes this year special and everything smooth.

In April, Dou Hua and Ou Yejing became pregnant successively.

In August, there was a bumper harvest, and the people, encouraged by Qian Kun, opened up the wasteland one after another, looking forward to more harvests in the coming year.

At the same time, the iron ore of Lanzhu Mountain is actually a huge vein, and the iron quality is also high-quality, and a farm tool is cast and bought cheaply for the people who open up the wasteland, so that the people are more active in joining the team of land reclamation.

In mid-September, Ou Yeyan sent someone to report that in Suichang, not far from Longyuan, the people had dug up the wasteland and dug up gold and stone.

Zhu Jun also reported that due to the Wuhu rebellion in Jiaozhi County, which affected Nanhai County, more than 100,000 South Vietnamese people migrated to Houguan and Dongye counties.

In late December, Gong Zhiqian, who had not heard from him for a long time, also came the news that nine huge sea ships 12 zhang wide and 28 zhang long had been successfully tried for sailing.
