After the last imperial examination fraud case, the opposition forces in the court have been almost cleaned up by Yao Guangxiao and Sima Cuo and others, and there are not many opposing voices, but the conservative forces in various states and counties are still not to be underestimated, so at this critical time, Li You needs to sit in Jiazhou to deal with possible small twists and turns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Luo Shiji, Qin Shixin, Pan Feng, Zhou Bofu and others respectively led the army to guard Henan Province and Gyeonggi Province into the checkpoint of Dugi Province, with the help of the local geographical advantages and their strong soldiers, they can definitely block Yuan Zhang and Arubu's army, not to mention that in Gyeonggi Province and Henan Province, the rising rebel army also tortured them unspeakably, with the help of Shi Huaiyi and other professionals who have been trained in martial arts, those rebels are no longer a plate of scattered sand in the past.

As long as the northern captives are not allowed to invade Huainan Province, there is no way to shake Li You at all by relying on the ability of those opposing forces, as for the king of Shu in Shu, he was frightened back by Li You's record of winning Jiangnan Dongdao so easily, and he no longer dared to mention the matter of attacking Jiangnan West Dao.

The affairs in the court were handled by Yao Guangxiao and Fan Li, and the military problems were enough to deal with, so Li You was rarely idle, either teasing the children in the house, or going to the martial arts or university hall to give lectures, or going to the workshop to check Gu Jiangzi's latest achievements, and the days could be described as leisurely.

It's a pity that with his current status, it didn't take long for such leisure to be interrupted, and after some deliberation, Zhou Nan and Zheng Feihuang's wife chose a good day and an auspicious day, and made all preparations, and he was about to include Zheng Yan'er in the mansion.

Originally, the specifications of the concubine were much lower than that of marrying a wife, and there was no need to be too lively at all, but Zhou Nan took into account Zheng Feihuang's identity, so he deliberately raised it a lot, plus the Zheng family is a rich maritime businessman, and now since he wants to marry his daughter and sell it to Li You, he has taken out the ability of his whole body to do this well, so the entire Jiazhou City has become lively.

After inquiring about the pomp and circumstance of Zhou Nan's marriage, they quickly made a decision that the number of boxes of dowry must not exceed Zhou Nan, but the things in the boxes can be used to make a fuss, silver is exchanged for gold, gold is exchanged for jade and precious stones, and books and ancient books are all replaced with title deeds, so that Uncle Zhong stayed for a long time when he saw this list, which is almost more than the accumulation of the Earl's Court for many years, it seems that this maritime business is indeed a lucrative business.

Wang Wufeng and Yan Zhenquan and other Jiangnan maritime merchants also refused to let go of this good opportunity to tie up with Li You, all kinds of rare treasures were sent over, and other court officials also had good gifts to give.

On the day of the official concubine, the whole Jiazhou city is full of festive red, and the maritime merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have chartered all the restaurants in the city to set up flowing water seats, just say a congratulatory word, you can enter the restaurant to eat and drink, and for a time even the people of the four miles and eight towns outside the city have dragged their families into the city.

Li You was still thinking about whether to persuade them to keep a low profile at first, but then he thought about it, this was not an opportunity, you must know that the people of the Great Wei still do not know much about the ocean, and they have regarded it as a place full of hardships and fears, where do they know that the sea contains countless wealth, and it is just the right opportunity to show the luxury of the maritime merchants, so as to attract these people to be curious about the ocean, so as to participate in the conquest of the ocean.

Holding the dowry that made the wheels creak, countless onlookers widened their eyes, and they all guessed the handwriting that Zheng Feihuang took out this time, "I'm afraid this is not less than a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver?" ”

"Huh, 100,000 taels of silver? You also underestimate the Zheng family! Several of them have almost monopolized the entire Great Wei's sea trade, and the silver they have accumulated over the years is tens of millions of taels, how can they be so shabby? A guest from Jiangnan Dongdao sneered, "This is a good opportunity for them to marry Lord Taiwei, and it is the Zheng family's favorite daughter who marries again and again, and where can they get a mere 100,000 taels of silver?" I think the dowry this time will be in the million taels! ”

"Is it really so profitable to be a maritime businessman? Listening to you say that, you are more powerful than the salt merchant? "Some people think it's incredible, I'm afraid the salt merchants in Huainan Province can't come up with such a big deal, right?

"Although the salt merchants are rich, they can't be compared with the maritime merchants, these people transport a boatload of silk and porcelain from my Great Wei to the sea, and go to those barbarian places to exchange for spices, gold, silver, and precious stones, and they will make ten times the profit when they change hands, and there are hundreds of large and small ships under the name of the Zheng family, how much money can you calculate for them?" This person said enviously, but he didn't say a word about the risks of maritime trade, piracy, storms, rainstorms... Either possibility could lead to the death of a ship full of ships going out to sea.

"Sanwazi, you are so good at water, why don't you find a way to do things for Master Zheng? I can't say that I can get a daughter-in-law after a few trips to business. Sure enough, someone in the crowd was moved, and the person who replied also introduced him to the Zheng family's recruitment location, and then quietly squeezed into another crowd and continued to talk about Fang Cai's words.

These people are specially hired to spread the news, and they can go to the steward to get five cents, but they have to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a good profit.

After this wedding, many people in the Great Wei Dynasty became interested in the ocean, some of them began to think about going to Jiangnan Dongdao to make a living, and some smart people chose to go to the sailor to sign up, in order to be able to practice their skills among the sailors, so that they could get a higher-paying job in the future.

Of course, these are all later words, and now Li You doesn't know about this, he is busy greeting those visiting guests in the mansion, and just sent Wang Xun, who is difficult to go out, into the inner hall, and Li Lingyue greeted him again.

"Congratulations to Wenyang for taking a concubine." Li Lingyue can also be active in public now, she is busy with government affairs every day, and her life is extremely fulfilling, but she still hasn't married at this time, and she is an out-and-out old girl in this era.

"Thank you county lord, please take a seat inside, Mrs. Zhou, they have already come." Li You sent Li Lingyue to the inner hall, and Zhou Bofu's wife hurriedly let her go to the top.

Hey? Did I see it wrong just now, there seems to be a trace of resentment in the eyes of the Taiping County Lord? Li You, who came to the door again, suddenly had such an idea, but unfortunately he didn't think much about Qian Sa appearing in front of him, so he hurriedly threw the matter aside and greeted him.
