Chapter Twenty-Three: Joy and Love
Three days later, Hu Li sent his own soldiers Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu to Wuji County with dozens of servants and dozens of guards to welcome their relatives, because Zhen Mi asked for a simple operation, the Zhen family only sent hundreds of servants and dozens of carriages of dowry, the dowry was only 3,000 gold and some satin cloth, but more importantly, there were 3,000 war horses, which was a good thing that was difficult to get with money. When the greeting team arrived at the Zhending County Guard Mansion after three days, the county guard mansion was already full of guests, and it was very lively.
When the salute was performed, it was Hu Li and the two brides, and it turned out that Hu Li took this opportunity to make up a simple ceremony for Cai Wenji. In the evening, Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and others finally let go of Hu Li, who had been doused with top-heavy, and sent Hu Li into the cave room amid the laughter of everyone. Although he accepted two concubines at the same time, Hu Li, who knew that Zhen Mi was the protagonist today, hesitated a little and then walked to Zhen Mi's room, and after drinking a glass of wine with Zhen Mi, Hu Li held Zhen Mi's pretty face and kissed it, smelling Hu Li's wine, Zhen Mi frowned, but soon stretched his eyebrows under Hu Li's affectionate kiss and responded jerkily. Hu Li, who got Zhen Mi's response, was even more excited, picked up Zhen Mi horizontally, and put him on the bed, and then there was infinite spring.
Maybe it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, maybe it's because the physical fitness of the post-90s generation has become stronger, more than half an hour later, the unbearable Zhen Mi fell asleep, but Hu Li still felt a little unfinished, so he looked at Zhen Mi, who had seen Zhen Mi a few times, and called Yun'er's maid with clear eyebrows. Yun'er, who was blushing because he was waiting to watch the whole scene, looked even more unique in the faint moonlight, and Hu Li, who saw the index finger moving, pulled Yun'er and turned into a werewolf and pounced. Yun'er, who is married to a girl in the room, has long been mentally prepared. Another half an hour later, Yun'er had already fallen asleep, but Hu Li, who was satisfied, patted his forehead in annoyance, got up and got dressed, and walked towards Cai Wenji's room.
When he walked into Cai Wenji's room, Hu Li unexpectedly found that Zhao Yu was whispering to Cai Wenji, and when he saw Hu Li coming in, Zhao Yu smiled jokingly: "Wen Ji and I both thought that you wouldn't come over tonight, so I was going to talk to Wen Ji here." ”
"Since you're here, don't go." Hu Li, who pretended to be annoyed, put his arms around the two girls and walked to the bed.
"Don't be a husband, the concubine knows it's wrong."
Hu Li, who finally found an opportunity, ignored Zhao Yu's begging for mercy and came to a ridiculous big sleep.
The next day, the overworked Hu Li rubbed his sore waist and got out of bed, washed up under the service of Cai Wenji, and then had breakfast and lunch with the three girls, until the sore waist was relieved in the evening, Hu Li secretly warned himself that he must pay attention to moderation in the future.
Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, Gao Lan, Zhang Jaw and others are stepping up military training, and the political affairs in Changshan Country are handled by Tian Feng, but Hu Li, who is the lord, has nothing to do, but there is one thing Hu Li must care about, that is, Changshan State's finances are tight, due to Hu Li's wanton expansion of armaments, the total population of just 800,000 has nearly 140,000 troops, and the daily consumption of food and salary is an astronomical amount, and Hu Li's policy of resting with the people, Changshan's domestic taxes are extremely low, What's more, Hu Li also paid for the people to repair bridges and pave roads, build water conservancy and irrigation projects, build school houses, and let school-age children go to school for free and provide food. There is still a year and a half left before the three-year period set by the system, Hu Li is not ready to expand the territory for the time being, so as not to have an unstable foundation and easily anger Yuan Shao, compared to the tight money, the food is sufficient, the people now have surplus grain at home, as long as there is no large-scale conquest, there is no problem with food support for four or five years, so Hu Li formulated a policy of resettlement of displaced people, free of charge to the displaced people to distribute fertile land and provide farm tools and grain until the autumn harvest of the displaced people, I believe that with this policy, a year and a half is enough to attract 200,000 displaced people, complete the task of the system.
After arranging Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan, Gao Lan, Zhang Jaw and others to pay attention to defense, on the tenth day of the third month of 197 AD, Hu Li took three hundred guards and Xiong Er and Cuihua's two protectors, King Kong, to the rich land in the south to "turn into a fate", while Xiong Dahe and Zhu stayed in the Zhending Beast Camp, so as not to invade the Yuan army, he could command the Beast Camp to meet the enemy.
With the vision of the golden eagle, Hu Li and others can avoid the large army in advance, and how dare ordinary bandits provoke the heavily armed, angry Hu Li and others, a month later, Hu Li and others who had a smooth journey arrived in Wancheng, and arranged for the guards to camp outside the city, Hu Li took Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu and walked into Wancheng to listen to the news, and after getting the news that Hu Li wanted in a teahouse, Hu Li frowned tightly and said in a low voice: "Alas, it's still a step late." ”
It turned out that a few days after Hu Li set out from Zhending, he suddenly thought that it was probably Cao Cao's expedition to Wancheng Zhang Xiu this year, but he angered Zhang Xiu because of his greed for the beauty of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji's widow Zou, and was trapped by Jia Xu's design, and finally broke the general Dian Wei, nephew Cao Anmin, and eldest son Cao Ang before escaping from Ascension. In the 21st century, Hu Li remembered this paragraph because he admired Dian Wei's loyalty and bravery, but he didn't remember which month was 197 AD.
I was in a hurry and wanted to come to Wancheng to save Dian Wei's life, but I didn't expect the news I just got that the war ended more than two months ago, and Dian Wei had already died in battle to protect Cao Cao as early as the first month, and Zhang Xiu was also defeated by Cao Cao's generals, leading the defeated soldiers to Liu Biao.
Hu Li, who failed to save Dian Wei, felt a little frustrated, and Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu bought some wine and food and yellow paper incense candles in the city to pay tribute to Dian Wei outside the city, after the memorial was completed, the sky suddenly rained heavily, and the rain gear was placed on the horses, and the three people on foot had to go to the woods in front of them, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain, and finally found a family in the depths of the woods under the vision of the high-altitude golden eagle. Pushing open the door of the fence courtyard and seeing the hostess who was cooking, Hu Li stepped forward and accused: "The boy wants to borrow your land to avoid the rain, and he will leave after the rain stops, I don't know what Mrs. wants?" ”
The hostess turned her head, took a closer look at Hu Li, and saw that Hu Li was tall and majestic, and thought that he was not a bad person, so she replied: "If you don't think the cold house is shabby, please go to the house to serve tea to drive away the cold." ”
