Chapter 126: Everyone Rejoices
Although Li Chong and his wife have decided on the plan, there is no reason for this kind of thing to be raised by the woman first, so they must find a way to euphemistically let Wu Wei know what he means, and then take the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage. Wu Wei has no relatives and no reason, but this is just right for Li Chong, who only has Li Ruolin as an only daughter under his knees, firstly, to avoid his daughter being wronged by her mother-in-law, and secondly, because there are no relatives there, the young couple will naturally walk around with their mother's side more, and it is almost the same as recruiting a redundant door, which is in line with the wishes of Li Chong and his wife.
There is another thing that must be worried, although Wang Tongzhi's family business has been retired, but the reason for this has to be known to everyone, it is related to Li Ruolin's reputation and reputation, but it must be done cautiously. In this way, after retiring from the family, it is inconvenient to marry his daughter to Wu Wei immediately, so as not to provoke others to talk nonsense. However, Li Chong also had a plan for this matter, and he would be transferred to Zunhua Zhizhou after the year, and it would not be too late to handle this matter after he took office.
Out of his own selfishness, Li Chong really wanted Wu Wei to go to Zunhua with him and continue to build a team together, but how to mention this matter to Wu Wei was quite difficult to consider. Now it's okay, once Wu Weiyi marries his own daughter, that is his own family, and he has no relatives, so don't he listen to his father-in-law?
As for whether Wu Wei can let go of such a big industry in Ansai, Li Chong is not worried, what happened to Wu Wei when he first came to Ansai half a year ago? Zunhua is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is also a state city, and it is not the same as Ansai, a small border county, since he can transform Ansai into this in half a year, he can naturally copy it to Zunhua! Besides, those old pickers in Shanxi have industries all over the world. To Liaodong in the north, to Jinling in the south, I don't see others taking care of it, aren't they all driving well? When the time comes, Yang He will take care of it, where will others dare to covet it?
Li Chong's calculation in his heart crackled, the only thing that he didn't consider was that Wu Wei would refuse this family business, he was very confident in his daughter's words and deeds, and believed that Wu Wei would never look down on his daughter as long as he didn't have eyes. Besides, in Li Chong's opinion. In any case, it was Wu Wei who took advantage of his daughter. Since there was a reason for it, they didn't care about it, and they also married Li Ruolin to him, and their own family had already suffered a lot. Where is there room for Wu to bargain?
The plan is set. Li Chong's heart is at peace. The daughter came back safely and got a good son-in-law, which was really a lost horse. It's not a blessing. When he came out to see Wu Wei again, his mood was different, there was a way that his mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became, and this old father-in-law looked at her son-in-law not much more!
Next, Li Chong invited all the gentlemen to a banquet in the yazhong, explained the reason for the matter one by one, and ordered Li Ruolin to come out to meet everyone. This is quite a tortuous story, and it would have been unbelievable if it had not been for my own personal proof. Everyone was groaning, and the four gentry who fled back alone were even more embarrassed, Li Chong was in a very good mood at this time, but he didn't think much of himself, but persuaded the four not to blame themselves too much. Speaking of which, even Wang Tongzhi's son fled for his life, how can he be harsh on outsiders? As a result, the gentry became more and more ashamed, and scolded the king and his acquaintance for being unkind and despicable.
The Wang family did not know that their lies had been exposed, and they also said that Li Chong was a Taoist, and he believed that his daughter had been captured by thieves for several days, and his reputation had been lost, and it was impossible for him to be accepted by the Wang family as his wife, so he simply took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, so as not to embarrass both parties. In fact, Li Chong did not mention the matter of withdrawing from the marriage, and the Wang family would take the initiative to propose it to him after a while, but the dowry was worth a lot of money, but it was expected that he would not come back, and it was inevitable that there would be some pain, and now Li Chong took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage and return the dowry together, which was an unexpected joy for the Wang family.
Both sides are official eunuchs, even if Li Ruolin is really taken captive by thieves, the Wang family should first make a high posture to comfort the Li family, there is no reason to be in a hurry to clear up the relationship with the Li family, but Wang Tongzhi is a stingy force, for fear that Li Chong will regret it, and even disregard this bit of decency, and hurriedly take out the woman's marriage letter he kept and hand it to the person who came, and he couldn't wait to make people feel cold. He also had a weak heart, and pretended to comfort a few words.
The person who came was an old family member who had followed Li Chong for many years, and he knew what was going on, and when he saw Wang Tongzhi acting so coyly, he was angry in his heart, and he was going to ridicule a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, after all, he remembered that the old man was about to explain, but he still forcibly held back, and he didn't say much to Wang Tongzhi at the moment, so he turned his head and left.
Wang Tongzhi saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and his face was angry, but he said that his family had agreed too quickly to the divorce, as if he had planned it earlier, which caused him to be dissatisfied. This kind of reaction is also reasonable, he snorted slightly, but where did he take it to heart.
Whether there are thieves or not, he knows best in his heart that the clumsy lies made up by Wang Ze are full of loopholes, and how can he hide them. It's just that his son is at a loss, but he is afraid that the woman will not give up, so he acquiesced to Wang Ze's statement, and pretended to go to the new commander of Yan'an Wei, that is, Liu Yanshi, who took Wang Zhen's position, and asked him to send troops to exterminate the thieves.
Commander Liu was not very good with the Wang family, and there was no benefit, so it was just perfunctory on the face, how to be willing to die, only sent a small team of people out of the city to wander around and then returned to the camp to hand over the order, only saying that he could not find the thieves, but he was afraid that he had fled to the ground. Wang Tongzhi is just to be an example, just to not arouse suspicion from the outside world, and not to entangle.
The old family turned around and returned the marriage certificate, and a big stone in Li Chong's heart was put down, and when he heard Wang Tongzhi's impatient ugliness, he was very angry, and he strengthened his determination to take Wu as his son-in-law.
The task of matchmaking naturally fell on the head of Sun Jiaoyu, who was very friendly with Li Xianling and Wu Wei on both sides, and was the best person to pierce this layer of window paper for both sides. Li Chongsheng and Wu Wei are valued by Yang He, and they are all characters who want to be useful, and Sun Jiaoyu is worried about how to maintain the relationship between himself and the two, and he is very happy to hear about it. At that moment, he came to Wu Wei overnight, and guided him with many metaphors, suggesting that Wu Wei took the initiative to propose to Li Xianling in order to achieve a good marriage.
Wu Wei's plan was originally for this, and Sun Jiao's words were in the middle of the heart, as the so-called listening to the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, the two sides hit it off. As the saying goes, don't bother the two masters, Wu Wei simply asked Sun to teach him to do it for himself, and went to ask Li County Ling for marriage, Li Chong pretended to hesitate, and hesitated again before agreeing. Both sides exchanged the deed, and they were all happy.
Since then, Li Chong and Wu have been sons-in-law, and their friendship is different. It's just that nothing is perfect, the old man Li Chong has some Taoism, and after deciding on his family, Li Ruolin became more and more tightly controlled, and Wu Wei was difficult to see her, which was also a pity.
In recent years, the territory of Ansai has been a festive atmosphere. Although the "two kings" led a brigade of thieves to attack in the middle of the month, it was very noisy for a while, but after all, the battlefield was far away from the county seat of Ansai, and after the war, the soldiers were stationed, and the military discipline was surprisingly well maintained, so that after a big battle, the residents were basically not affected, but because the officers and soldiers of the brigade were stationed, the huge military supplies made all walks of life prosperous!
Needless to say, the local merchants have taken over large projects such as the resettlement of prisoners and the logistics of the army, and they have made a lot of money, and the foreign traders have also drunk the soup firmly because of the rise in prices! Originally, there was a surplus of materials in the Ansai market, and the competition was fierce, and these traders who transported goods from other places had to lose even their pants, but after the war, the army was stationed, the prisoners were settled, and tens of thousands of people ate and drank Lazar, so that the materials on the market became in short supply from surplus! Even the vendors who lead the car and sell pulp count the money and count the cramps in their hands!
Of course, there are also some people who have suffered a lot of losses, that is, those who fled with their families in the panic caused by the "two kings" going south, and when they come back, they find that they have missed the best opportunity to make money, and their market share has also been carved up. But what Wu Wei wants is this effect, that is, to let some people who believe in themselves and support themselves get rich first!
The Ansai battalion is the biggest contributor to this war, and it is also the biggest beneficiary. There are more than 2,000 soldiers in the Ansai battalion, and each of them has 10 taels of silver, and each person is also given a big livestock! This is only the part of the spoils, the benefits of the New Year are calculated separately, each soldier is paid a double salary, the usual monthly salary is one or two silver, and the New Year is two taels! A lot of materials such as rice, noodles, oil, eggs, beef and mutton were also distributed, and they were all carried to the family in large and small packages, which made the eyes of ordinary people envious. But there is no way, who made you not choose in the first place, this is a real knife and a real gun, in exchange for your life on the battlefield!
After this battle, the Ansai battalion also suffered heavy casualties, killing more than 100 people and wounding nearly 200 people, of which nearly 60 people could no longer go to the battlefield. In addition to a one-time pension of 50 taels for each family, the Ansai battalion is responsible for raising them until they are 18 years old if they have children, and all food, clothing, and education are included. Parents and wives can also get a monthly living allowance, which is enough to make them worry about food and clothing. The pensions for the seriously wounded were halved, their monthly salaries were paid as usual, and they were assigned to the countryside as instructors, responsible for training villagers and anti-theft.
A series of welfare measures in the Ansai camp are jaw-dropping, these years, human life is as cheap as pigs and dogs, before joining the Ansai camp, most of these soldiers are struggling from the death line, many times even half of the black bun has to fight for their lives, and even eating a full meal is an unattainable luxury. It was Wu Wei's arrival that changed their fate, and for the first time in the Ansai camp, they lived as individuals, winning a rich life for themselves and their families, and everyone was deeply proud of this collective!
Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, ask for praise, Wuchang Fish thank you! (To be continued......)
