Chapter 336: The ...... Caused by the Dowry of Millions

Chang'an in April was quiet and depressed.

The once bustling and noisy metropolis has now become a sparsely populated ordinary city. If it weren't for the war in Bianzhou and Caizhou in the Central Plains, a large number of Dingkou who had fled recently arrived, and Dingkou in Chang'an City would have become even rarer.

In the Imperial City Political Affairs Hall, Yang Yan looked at the Dingkou data compiled in various places, and his brows furrowed. He smiled bitterly and said to everyone present: "What should I do if there are more than 100,000 dingkou suddenly, Chang'an City is dilapidated everywhere, and the reserves in Taicang inside and outside the city are not sufficient." ”

Li Bao listened to Yang Yan's words, put down the roster of Weiyuan Army officers in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Master Yang, these fleeing Dingkou are easy to deal with, and Zhao Dayin is the best at dealing with these displaced people." You'll call him later, and he'll know what to do. ”

"The method Rokuro said is the method of cash-for-work?" Yang Yan asked.

"Exactly, now that Chang'an is in dilapidation, these displaced people are good laborers, and as long as there is work to do, and the displaced people can make ends meet, they will not have the energy to disturb the trouble. Wouldn't it be just right to kill two birds with one stone? ”

"Well, this method of cash-for-work is naturally good, but we don't have enough reserves in Taicang now, how can there be so much corn to help the homeless, this is what I am most worried about."

"I have already thought about Yang Shi's worries, now the Dingkou in our city is full of 300,000 people, one person a day, half a child, children account for thirty percent, and the 150,000 Hu corn stored in various warehouses in Chang'an should not be a big problem to last until the May wheat harvest. Besides, there are also grain stores in various feudal towns in the Northwest Regions, as long as people are arranged to transport it, there will definitely be no chaos. Li Bao said confidently.

Hearing that what Li Bao said was reasonable, Yang Yan felt a lot more relieved, and he continued to ask: "How is the reconstruction of the Weiyuan Army going?" ”

"The reorganization of the Weiyuan Army is almost underway, Zhang Zhifang and the commanders of the various armies are basically in place, and the training of the soldiers is very smooth. In addition, about the garrison, I still need to discuss it with Yang Shi and Zheng Xiang. After all, during this time, the spies in various feudal towns were very anxious about our arrangement, and they couldn't let them be too anxious. ”

Li Bao's playful words attracted everyone's laughter.

Chang'an's every move will attract the attention of the world, and the rebuilding of the Weiyuan Army is not a big deal, but this army is led by Li Bao, the king of Ji, and the number of this army has reached an unprecedented scale of 60,000 people.

It is surprising that such a number of troops do not cause the world to shake, after all, the feudal towns do not want the center to be strong, but no one dares to provoke the center easily at this juncture.

The Xiazhou Dingyan Army in the Northwest Regions is one of the strongest in the world, and it is like a chicken and a dog in front of the Weizhou Army under King Ji. And Xiazhou Jiancheng, a few cannon sounds, the city wall also fell, this season in the face of King Ji's magic weapons, the world is a headache, how to deal with the Weizhou army and King Ji Li Bao?

Li Bao didn't care what the princes of the feudal town thought, he just had to follow his own steps.

Yang Yan listened to Li Bao's words and knew that in this military matter, Li Bao had many ideas, and he should not be involved too much, so he changed the topic and continued to ask: "How is your marriage?" ”

Yang Yan asked this, Li Bao scratched his head, "I don't know much about this, after all, I left this matter to Aunt Liang." ”

"You kid, how can you be so careless about lifelong events, you should also ask, besides, although your nurse is also a capable person, but she is not your elder after all, and besides, this matter must be handled by an elder, otherwise Zheng Xiang and they will definitely have a gap in their hearts at that time."

Hearing this, Li Bao was full of lawsuits, how could he forget about it. However, it is difficult for him to find an elder, he is now a person whose parents have died, and only one eldest sister is still on the way from Xingyuan to Chang'an.

He rubbed his hands, and then said, "I will explain this matter to Zheng Xiang and my father-in-law, and besides, my sister is also about to arrive, so I will let her take care of it then." When I was young, these things were extremely cumbersome, and there were things that I couldn't do, so Master Yang reminded me more. ”

Yang Yan looked at Li Bao's grinning appearance, and said in his heart: Although his apprentice has experienced too many things over the years, he does not have the impatient temper of his peers, he has a maturity and twilight that is not commensurate with his age, and he doesn't know that he brought it to such a city.

But what Li Bao said is also good, these etiquette things are all trivial and trivial, they are all small sections, he, Li Bao and Zheng Xiang are all people who do big things, why care about such small sections.

As long as Rokuro can achieve great things, future generations of historians will not be involved in some subsections, but will praise Rokuro's heroic atmosphere.

After figuring out this section, Yang Yan put down the topic of Fang Cai, and instead brought up the topic of gossip that was widely circulated in Chang'an City. "I heard that Liulang is going to give the Zheng family a dowry of one million yuan?"

Li Bao laughed, "Master Yang, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, it's just a rumor." Where is there a million yuan of dowry, this wedding I gave Yan'er and Zheng Xiang a crossover, the dowry is composed of three parts, one is copper coins, pearl and jade goods plus a total of 500,000 yuan, in addition to Xinglong Qianzhuang and Shanhe Society shareholder seats, there are also some valuable treasury bonds. ”

When Yang Yan heard this, he was secretly shocked in his heart, this Li Bao is really too bold, 500,000 yuan of money and goods is dead, but the seats in the proprietor's association of Xinglong Qianzhuang and Shanhe Society are fixed, and each of them has given the Zheng family a seat, how can the gold content of these two seats be comparable to 500,000 guan?

Besides, Li Bao has now mastered more than 30 prefectures and counties in the Northwest Regions, Xinglong Qianzhuang and Shuzhong Tubo have basically fully blossomed, and the huge amount of money handled every year is more abundant than the treasury of the Tang Dynasty. Xinglong Money Bank's income is real money, and what is issued is printed flying money, which is unimaginably profitable.

In addition to the two chain stores of Qianjinlou and Meiyaya, Shanhe Society also has the profits of Hexi Silk Road, coupled with the large business volume of Longmen Dart Bureau, it is rumored that Shanhe Society can bring Li Bao millions of net profits every year, and with such a huge trading company, the proprietor's dividends are also huge.

In addition, these chairmen are more long-term than these amounts of gold and silver, as long as Li Bao and his forces do not fall, these seats are an endless mountain of gold and silver.

Excluding gold and silver and the chairmanship, those national bonds are dispensable.

Thinking of this, Yang Yan had to give Li Bao a thumbs up, and said something he learned from Li Bao and said: "Rich, capricious!" ”

For Yang Yan's admiration, Li Bao touched his head and smiled silently.

……

As Li Bao, the most well-known prince of the Tang Dynasty, every bit of his is very important, not to mention that he is getting married. As a result, the feudal towns that were in harmony with the imperial court took the opportunity to send envoys to Beijing to take the opportunity to public relations and listen to the news in the name of King Hekiyoshi's wedding.

As one of the five surname families, the Zheng family is even more eye-catching, Zheng's move suddenly broke the principle that the "five surnames and seven families" have always adhered to, and the Zheng family not only intermarried with the clan, but also surrendered to the Li Tang royal family. The elders and widows of the five surnames and seven families have condemned Zheng Shitian for being shameless and losing the face of the lintel of the five surnames.

Regarding the marriage between the Zheng family and the royal family, people all over the world have found a point of public opinion for a while, and people have different opinions on it, but most people are optimistic about this marriage.

As the parties to the case, Li Bao and Zheng Yan are depressed, the family backgrounds of both families are very large, Li Bao himself is a clan, and he also has the giant business giant of Shanhe Society under him.

Although the situation in the Tang Dynasty is very embarrassing, and the rebellion of Qin Zongquan and the rogue in the northwest have given Li Bao a headache, this big wedding is not only for Li Bao and Zheng Yan to leave no regrets, but also to prove to the world that the two of them are definitely a match made in heaven, rich and powerful.

So Li Bao decided that on the occasion of the wedding, he must do a big deal, on the day of the wedding, the daughter building in Chang'an City, the beauty of the girl's big rewards, all sold at a discount, and Chang'an City each person free lottery ticket.

In addition, Li Bao's dowry to the Zheng family reached a sky-high price of one million yuan, in addition to the rare treasures, the rest are all kinds of tickets/receipts issued by Xinglong Qianzhuang, including flying money, treasury bonds and shareholder seats, etc. Seeing this gift list, people were all speechless, this auspicious king was really generous enough, and this luxury shocked the world in one fell swoop.

Zheng's daughter, the dowry reached one million, this kind of daughter is better than the princess of the clan, the dowry of the wayward Yizong beloved daughter Tongchang when she got married was only one million guan at best, and Li Bao has a dowry of more than one million guan, where did this Ji Wang Li Bao get so many dowries?

Speaking of so many dowry gifts given by the man, people's curiosity is getting stronger and stronger, what is the value of the dowry of this woman?

Zheng Zheng was also a little depressed during this time, blaming the people in Chang'an City for being too annoying, chewing on the root of their tongues all day long when they had nothing to do, "the Zheng family girl who sold millions of dowries", "The Zheng family doesn't even want face for money, no wonder they are so eager to make friends with King Ji", "The Zheng family is all a group of money fans"......

There are also some colleagues who can't find Zheng Jin's handle in political affairs, but secretly all kinds of corruption ridicule Zheng Jin, and some ask Zheng Zheng Zheng in person, what is the value of his dowry?

Zheng Zheng had a black face all day long, and the servants in the family were all frightened, for fear that something would go wrong and suffer an unwarranted disaster. And Zheng Zheng is angry, but he is indeed a little flattered, this Li Bao is really rich.

It's just a marriage, how can you give such a dowry. made an old Zheng family lose face, but Yan'er's girl really has a vision, and she suddenly found a golden beetle son-in-law, in case Liulang Yuji reaches the top in the future, and my Zheng family is the queen's mother's family.

But for the sake of face this time, you must marry more dowry, otherwise where will the old face go.

Zheng Ji said that he would do it, and immediately wrote a letter to his son Zheng Ningji, instructing him to prepare the dowry more generously, and never lose the face of the Zheng family.
