Zhao Xin sat in the room, unable to figure out how the prince had been so good just now, why did he change his face when he mentioned Miss Zhu's matter, and said such an inexplicable sentence and went to Master He to settle the account, "I hurt him, when did I hurt him?" Zhao Xin muttered a few words, but still couldn't quite understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and picked up the plaster that the prince had just thrown on the table.

"The candle and silver flowers are red, and the day is praising the annoying spring breeze. The new love is busy with the beginning, and the old things are thrilling in the dream. I hope that for the time being, I might as well let the moon be hazy. How can you get drunk to enjoy the lanterns, you may not be here next year! "Zhao Xin has never been to school like the prince, but he followed the prince to listen to the class, and he also learned to turn into seven, eight or eight, although he is not at the level of lifting people, it is not too difficult to mix up a show," Miss Zhu has not forgotten the matter of the Yuan Night, judging from the words, she fell in love with the prince at first sight! ”。

"The soil flowers can be white and red, and the evening festival can love this work, and it is better to hold the incense skills and grow old, rather than dance with the yellow leaves and autumn wind." Zhao Xin looked at them one by one, and commented, "Miss Zhu is still a fierce woman, she would rather die like a chrysanthemum, and never let the north wind blow down, stick to her beliefs, and would rather die than give up what she thinks in her heart, and she is willing to pester the prince, but if the prince refuses to agree, then won't she be lonely for life?" ”。 People's minds are really mysterious, and they were quite prejudiced against her just now, and in the blink of an eye, they became worried about her.

"The mountain pavilion and the water pavilion are half in autumn, the phoenix is lonely and unaccompanied, and the new is sad, and the two moths are only old. Get up to embroider households, and there is a degree of sparseness from time to time. Thank you for the moon phase pity, I can't bear to be round tonight". As soon as he read it, Zhao Xin's face had two more lines of tears, he didn't expect that there were people in the world with a similar fate to him, he suddenly thought of himself, there was suffering but nowhere to complain, there was love but he didn't dare to speak, even his identity was only buried deep in his heart, and he also felt sorry for himself!

After ten days of sailing, the Qincha fleet finally arrived in Xiangyi, and Zhao Ta ordered that the people who had been on the boat for half a month had to go ashore, except for the sailors, they all felt that there was no root under their feet, and they seemed to be sitting on the boat.

Zhao Ta didn't fall asleep until midnight in a daze, and wanted to lazy bed for a while to replenish his strength, but he couldn't sleep at all by the bursts of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and gnaws, so he could only climb up with two black circles.

Did the "second master" sleep well? ”。 Early in the morning, when I heard that the prince got up, Feng Xi, who was guarding the inner courtyard, came in to say goodbye.

"It's not good, I just fell asleep, and I woke up with the sound of firecrackers" Is there a big joy today! ”。 Zhao Ta pinched his forehead and said.

"Second master, in September, the Zhuangzi families are busy marrying their relatives and daughters, they don't matter how far or near, the sedan chair to marry relatives has to go around at the door of our house, everyone says that although the prince is not there, but also let the prince know the way, and then a good omen, ask for the blessing of the prince, and the days will be more and more prosperous. Today's day is good" There are many people who marry relatives, so the quarrel has reached the prince, so I will order people to let them move quietly! ”。 Feng Xi explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see!". Zhao Ta then remembered that it was the end of September, and the crops in the field had been harvested, it was the season of farming, and there was a lot of free time, and most people would choose to marry at this time. ”。

"Second Master" you can rest assured, every family will prepare gifts according to the old rules when they come here, but in the past we sent them to the home, and now we give them directly! ”。 Fengxi reported while serving the prince to wash. Sending congratulatory gifts to the people in Zhuangzi is proposed by Zhao Ta: "People are the foundation of development, no one can talk about anything, this policy is to encourage everyone to add people to import, but also to attract more people to settle here."

People have to carry "Zhao Ta hurriedly dressed neatly, specially chose a red cloak" and inserted a red flower on his head, dressed like a groom official, surrounded by everyone to the door, personally prepared to send a congratulatory gift, each family is a ten taels of silver ingots, a pair of glass bracelets. These things are a lot less, and more is not much, but saving a little is enough to manage the cost of a happy event.

The appearance of the prince made the welcoming team appear a small *, he personally stepped forward to give gifts and blessings to the newlyweds, and won the "jackpot, the one who was almost going to do the happy event in front of the palace, this is really early than to catch up with it, the front did not catch up, to their own prince came out, this is a good omen bigger than anything else! The one behind is also complacent, although the second child also caught up, but there is no way to go in front of him, and he has the heart to go back, but he is afraid of missing the time to get off the sedan chair, so he can only go away stupidly. …,

"Zhao Ren, how many people in our pro-guard team are married?" Zhao Ta watched the crowd of greeting relatives walk by, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked.

"Second master, less than one-tenth, because most of the people we chose when we recruited had no family, and now we are in charge of it tightly, there are not a few people who marry, but there are a lot of betrothals!" Zhao Ren thought for a moment and said.

"Well, are you engaged now? You're also old enough to get married. ”。 Zhao Tangong nodded and asked again.

"Second master, you haven't gotten married yet, how can we get married first!" Zhao Ren scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly.

"What kind of bastard is this, if I don't one day, you're going to have to suffocate to death!". Zhao Ta said funny, "You go back to investigate immediately, and see how many people in the pro-guard team and the backbone of the club are not married, and how many people are engaged, including you people, I will listen to the report at night!" ”。 He said again.

"Yes, second master, I'll go right away!". Although Zhao Ren didn't understand what the prince was asking and suddenly cared about everyone's personal problems, the strict training still made him do it without hesitation.

After sending off a few waves of newcomers, Zhao Ta returned to his house, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, and laughed in surprise. I am sixteen this year, and the first batch of soldiers I trained have been in the army for three years, and those who have been recruited for two years, and they are all older than themselves, and now some are already twenty, but most of them are still guarding like jade and beating singles!

The age at which men could get married in the Song Dynasty was according to the decree of Song Renzong: men could be fifteen years old, and women could be married at the age of thirteen, which was considered the legal age of marriage: there was also a rule that everyone followed in Sima Guang's "Shuyi": men were sixteen years old, and women were fourteen years old. So no matter what, his soldiers are now all older youths, and the current situation is becoming increasingly tense, maybe one day he will leave home to go to the battlefield, if he doesn't come back, the woman's side has not been mentioned, not even a queen, this is what Zhao Ta does not want to see.

So now whether in terms of customs or feelings, it is urgent for them to get married as soon as possible, but what makes Zhao Ta nerve-wracking is that it is not easy to find a daughter-in-law for them, because of the national policy of the Song Dynasty, the status of being a soldier is too low. The conscription system of the Northern Song Dynasty was actually a system of raising soldiers, and once a soldier was recruited into the army, he would be an official for life, and he would not be eliminated even after illness and aging, and he would retire from the people after the age of 61. Most of the members of the soldiers are also stabbed prisoners, hungry people who can't eat, and responded to the sentence "Good iron does not nail good people are not soldiers, that sentence, and in order to prevent soldiers from escaping, they all tattooed words on their faces, no matter where you go, everyone knows that you are a "Qiu Ba,!" Zhao Ta is a civilized person, although his soldiers have no tattoos, and his treatment status is also high, but the world style is like this, he can't help but worry.

In the evening, Zhao Ren's report was sent, Zhao Ta's brows were twisted into pimples after reading it, there were more than five hundred people, less than one hundred were married, less than two hundred, and the rest were all famous flowers without owners, including the first batch of backbones trained by themselves, they were all dual identities, both soldiers and servants, they could not get married without the permission of the master, and most of them were orphans, and there was no one to Zhang Luo for them.

This problem has reached the point of non-solving, and the heart of the army is unstable without a family, and Zhao Tan has been sleepless all night, thinking that he can come up with a solution that a guy with no experience can come up with, that is, referring to the methods of his previous life, providing preferential conditions, and mobilizing the masses to solve this problem.

The next day, just after dawn, the Lizheng, the elders, and more than a dozen famous matchmakers from the Zhuangzi received the death order of the prince, "The sky falls, you must attend the meeting" The topic is one, within a month, the problem of all the singles in the pro-soldier team must be solved, all the girls who are willing to marry, the home is the house, the land rent is halved, and the palace provides a dowry of fifty yuan: those who are willing to move into the house outside are given priority, and those who do not want to come will be provided with a dowry of one hundred yuan: those who complete the task well are given priority to be promoted, and if they are not completed well, they must be dealt with. In addition, the intermediary fee for the matchmaker is not low, but the prince also has a condition, the girl must be a good person, honest and responsible, not shoddy, if found, severely punished!

In fact, Zhao Ta seriously underestimated his influence on this territory, his words are no different from the holy decree here, the prince's military order, the whole house is mobilized, the engaged immediately take the money to go home on vacation to get married, and those who are not engaged follow the matchmakers to go around on blind dates, the threshold of the family with school-age daughters is trampled, and the people in each Zhuangzi are busy preparing for the wedding, and the elders are drinking until they vomit.........

In order to accomplish this arduous task, Zhao Ta asked the accompanying officials to return to Beijing to report first, and extended the "vacation" to supervise the implementation. On this day, Zhao Tan had just had breakfast and was walking in the yard when he suddenly heard someone making noise at the door, "Lord Wang, there is a guard who wants to see you and asks him about nothing, but we stopped him, but he won't leave!" ”。 Zheng Ping, the captain on duty who was in charge of the palace guards today, came in and said.

"Then I'll go see him!". Zhao Ta also felt strange, the guards all knew the rules, what evil did they commit today!

"Report to the prince, the baggage team is stationed and asks to see the prince!" When the guard saw Zhao Ta come out, he immediately stopped making trouble and stepped forward to salute.

"Well, Wei Qian, do you have something to do with this king?" Zhao Ta looked at him and had a little impression, but he was selected from the middle of the club and was not familiar with him.

"Lord, little one". Wei Qian looked at the prince and suddenly lowered his head, his face was so red that he could drip blood, and he became spitting. (To be continued.)
