Chapter 194 Dowry

Ling Suyun's concern is not groundless. In fact, the emperor did not use this method less. He did a lot of things about the marriage of the princess of the royal family and the lord of merit. Not to mention anything else, Li Si, the big celebrity next to the emperor, has three sons who are married to princesses! Using the blood hub to maintain the relationship between monarchs and ministers, the emperor is familiar with it. Ling Suyun even learned that there are more than ten biological daughters of the emperor, including seven or eight unmarried girls.

Although the Ling family is strong, it is not so easy for Ling Suyun to snatch her husband with the emperor's daughter. So Ling Suyun had already paid attention to it, such a good man had to be tied up early, but he couldn't be robbed. At least Mrs. Zhengfang's name and status can't be taken away by other women!

Seeing that Ling Suyun's answer was so serious, Chen Sheng couldn't help but think about it seriously. Although Ling Suyun is a little younger, her mind is already much more mature than ordinary adults. And in this era, even if you get married at this age, it is normal. After a while, Chen Sheng said: "Okay, then let the teacher and your wife set a time, and then we will go back to Xianyang to get married." ”

Although the county guard mansion is large, it is only 100 meters from the main hall to the mansion, but the two have finalized the major events in their lives. I have to say that Lord County Shou and Miss Ling are extremely efficient.

When Ling Suyun heard Chen Sheng's words, her little face was full of happiness, and her whole person snuggled up to Chen Sheng's body. I have already thought about how to plan my big wedding. But Ling Suyun also knows that although the marriage contract has been decided, I don't know when it will be determined.

According to the law, the county guards are assessed every five years, and only at this time, the county guards can have the opportunity to return to Xianyang to report on their work, and they are not allowed to leave the place under their jurisdiction unless there are other important reasons, otherwise they will be regarded as rebellion. Even if there is an important reason, it must be reported to the court in advance before any action can be taken, otherwise the crime will be punished severely.

Therefore, even if Chen Sheng proposes to go to Xianyang to get married now, it will take a long time to get the approval of the imperial court, and the approval efficiency of this kind of thing will not be too high, and it will take at least half a year to go back and forth. And that's not the main problem. There is another reason for this. Ling Suyun, who came to Fujian from Xianyang, had already learned that the imperial court had another use for Chen Sheng, and he led the army to Lingnan to fight in a few days, and this wedding date was a little far away. Ling Suyun also knew why Ba Qing insisted that the two of them must be in Xianyang to get married, just to get a guarantee: Chen Sheng participated in the Southern Expedition War, and he had to come back alive. The mortality rate of the Southern Expedition has always been extremely high, and Ba Qing doesn't want Ling Suyun to be like her and be widowed for the rest of her life.

……

After entering the mansion, no one dared to come to disturb the time between the county guard and the Ling family at this time, in the eyes of most people, the little couple who have not seen each other for many days will inevitably be affectionate. But in fact, the two didn't even say a few words of love, and they got involved in the affairs of Minzhong County.

The Ling family's various investments in central Fujian cost no less than millions of gold, and in fact, the entire Ling family's working capital was invested in central Fujian. This kind of boldness can only be decided by Ling Suyun and Ba Qing behind her. The rest of the family is not optimistic about the investment in Fujian, so Ling Suyun is under a lot of pressure, and after returning to Bajun for so long, she spent a lot of strength to suppress those disobedient family members. Because of this, as soon as Chen Sheng saw Ling Suyun, he mentioned the harvest of various investments in Minzhong County before he could talk to Ling Suyun for a few words. Although these earnings were presented to Ling Suyun in the account book, the data on the account book was obviously not as intuitive as Chen Sheng said. Moreover, there are still many gray incomes in the income of the entire Minzhong County, and Chen Sheng earned it through the name of Ling Suyun. All this money was invested by Chen Sheng in building water conservancy or other investments. With the help of Ling Suyun's name, it can't be borrowed in vain, and Chen Sheng also divided a lot of it into Ling Suyun's account.

However, Ling Suyun looked down on the small money that Chen Sheng had worked so hard for. Chen Sheng borrowed her name to make some money. But it is clear to her that the money Chen Sheng earns is going to her.

The tens of thousands of military horses in Minzhong County are eaten by horses, water conservancy is built, and official salaries are distributed. Where does all this consumption come from? It's all Chen Sheng's "corruption and dereliction of duty"! If this money falls into the state treasury, it must be handed over a large part of it, and the rest is the basic expenses that can maintain the bureaucratic system of Minzhong County, and there is no money to raise an army and build water conservancy. It is true that there is a large amount of capital injection from the Ling family in the early stage, but the later operation is all borne by Chen Sheng, the Ling family is a businessman after all, and the investment is to see the return. Even Ling Suyun couldn't use the wealth of the entire family to support Chen Sheng for free without asking for anything in return.

Ling Suyun said with a smile: "This is thousands of gold, I don't put it at the moment, now the Ling family's investment in Minzhong County has basically been rewarded richly, the old people in the family have nothing to say, and my wife also favors me, now I withdraw 50,000 gold from the family every year, your money, or use it to do what you want to do."

Chen Sheng grinned. He had been struggling financially. It's not that he can't make money, just the profits from the paper, his personal income is almost ten thousand gold. But Chen Sheng used this money to replace weapons and horses for the army in Minzhong County and build leather horses. In addition, the thousands of gold proceeds from the salt farm, he even waved his hand and transferred it to Ji Bu's account, which was used as funds for the training of special operations troops...... So to describe Chen Sheng in one word, that is "poor!" The 5,000 gold he left for Ling Suyun was also squeezed out of his teeth, because he owed Ling Suyun too much, he was a man, how could he not repay some favors? Even if this is his future wife!

But when he heard Ling Suyun's refusal, he had no choice but to put it away, and said with some shame: "In this case, I will use this money to buy a piece of land and use it to grow a crop, and when the time comes, how about I use this land and the proceeds as a dowry for marrying you?" After Chen Sheng returned from the island, he soon sent people to dig up all the potatoes. Now we are looking for a suitable place to grow it.

Ling Suyun smiled lightly, revealing a mouthful of bright teeth, and said, "That's good, what is planted?" She wasn't very interested in that bit of income, but what Chen Sheng did looked a little bizarre at first, but later it was often able to bring surprises to people, the salt factory was like this, and the paper mill was even more like this, I don't know what Chen Sheng wanted to use the 5,000 gold to buy land to plant?
