Although Zhao Zhongzhen is young and old, he is still a child after all, and the person he admires the most is Fan Ning, who opened up the territory and forcibly opened a Kunzhou and Whale Prefecture to the Great Song Dynasty, as well as Tanzhou and Ryukyu Mansion.

Nothing else can be left unmentioned, the key is Kunzhou, 5,000 immigrants, as well as road construction, city building, mining and subjugation, how can this ambitious Zhao Zhongzhen not worship?

"Uncle Fan, my father is waiting for you, please come with me!"

Zhao Zhongzhen recognized Fan Ning at a glance, very similar to the rumors outside, young and heroic, and extraordinary, Fan Ning smiled: "You are Zhongzhen!" It's grown so big. ”

Fan Ning still met Zhao Zhongzhen a year before he went to Kunzhou, when he was still young and naughty, and after five or six years, he has become a steady little adult.

Fan Ning took out a sea pearl from his arms and handed it to him with a smile, "Authentic Kunzhou sea pearl, I didn't give you a meeting gift last time, so make up for it this time!" ”

Zhao Zhongzhen was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "This is too precious, I can't ask for it!" ”

"Take it!"

Fanning forced it into him, "Just go back and tell your father that I sent it, he won't say yours." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Fan!"

After all, Zhao Zhongzhen is only ten years old, and ten-year-old children like shiny beads, and his heart blooms with joy.

"Uncle Fan, come with me!"

Uncle Fan on the left and Uncle Fan on the right, Fan Ning is very cool, this is the future Emperor of Shenzong! I thought of myself as an uncle.

Fan Ning walked into the mansion with him, and came to the back garden, and saw Zhao Zongzhen growing vegetables from a distance!

Zhao Zhongzhen whispered to Fan Ning: "That radish was planted by me and my father, and I will give Uncle Fan one later." ”

"Good! Thank you in advance. ”

Zhao Zhongzhen walked quickly to his father, "Daddy, Uncle Fan is here." ”

Zhao Zongshi was very satisfied with the title of son, he nodded, and walked over with a smile, "When did Brother Xian come back?" ”

"I came back three days ago, I had something to do today, I took half a day off, and I came to see my brother by the way."

In public, Fan Ning will definitely respectfully address His Royal Highness Zhao Zongshi, but now that he is in the palace, Zhao Zongshi does not shy away from growing vegetables, obviously he does not regard himself as an outsider, and Fan Ning will not be polite to him.

"Sit down and talk!"

Zhao Zongshi washed his hand, pointed to the two chairs, and the two sat down.

Zhao Zongshi said: "I have read your investigation report, I really can't believe it, I actually contracted out the tax office, and the Shaanxi transfer envoy is too bold." ”

Fan Ning shook his head, "This matter still needs to be investigated in depth, whether it is a means to give it to relatives for profit, or a common phenomenon, I really can't draw conclusions now, relatively speaking, the soldiers' military expenses have been exploited layer by layer, I think this is a big deal, it is related to the stability of the Great Song Dynasty, and it should not be underestimated!" ”

Zhao Zongshi smiled bitterly and said: "There have been this problem in all dynasties, and it is really difficult to solve it, you can't let the imperial court directly send the military to every soldier!" ”

Fan Ning said lightly: "Actually, it's not that there is no way, but it will offend people." ”

Zhao Zongshi was really interested, "Do you have any good ideas, let's hear about it?" ”

Fan Ning saw that Zhao Zhongzhen was also pricking up his ears next to him, so he smiled and said: "You can use the money shop to solve this problem, choose a few big money shops, and build a counter in the money shop for each soldier, and the court will directly allocate the military to the money shop, and then the money shop will put the money into the soldier's counter, so that the soldier can go directly to the money shop to withdraw money with the token, and there are no intermediate links, and it is directly the court to the soldiers." ”

Fanning said that it is to use a bank account to pay wages, although the Song Dynasty did not have a bank account so convenient, but the money shop is very developed, you can operate in this way, but the soldier is a little more troublesome to withdraw money, but the intermediate link can not be exploited, I believe that the soldier would rather be troublesome, but also willing to operate in this way. ”

Next to him, Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes lit up, "Daddy, this is a good way!" ”

But Zhao Zongshi is not as simple as his son, and he also knows that once this method is implemented, I don't know how many people's financial routes will be cut off.

"Although this method is good, there is also a lot of resistance!"

"So we need to think long-term and wait for the right plan before we implement it."

Zhao Zongshi nodded and smiled: "You specially asked for leave to come to me today, won't you just talk about it!" ”

Fanning was a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, I have a personal matter to ask my brother for help. ”

.........

Ouyang Qian has been excited and uneasy in the past two days, and the excitement is that she is finally going to get married, and she is marrying the man she likes, she is twenty-four years old, unlike the daughter of a powerful and wealthy family who does not worry about marrying, she really has no chance if she doesn't marry at this age, it is false to say that she is not in a hurry, but there is no way to be anxious, but God finally favored herself and gave herself a satisfactory marriage.

But she was also a little uneasy in her heart, that is, her old father, who had returned home, said that her father had been scolding Fan Ning since early on, and had been scolding until night, scolding him for being ungrateful, and scolding him for taking advantage of others, which made Ouyang Qian feel a little sad in her heart, she wanted to explain to her father, but she didn't dare to go, lest her father interfere again, and her marriage would be yellow again.

In the past two days, Fan Ning and her aunt Yu have accompanied her, and there is an elder by her side, which makes her feel a lot more at ease.

The wedding date is coming in a flash, just after noon, Ouyang Qian began to put on makeup and dress, like opening faces, telling about sexual affairs and many other things need to be done by her mother, Ouyang Qian's biological mother died early, and there is no aunt and aunt, stepmother and she are even strangers, these private things can only be done by Aunt Yu to help her.

"You put this away first!"

Yu handed her a beautiful rouge box, "This is your dowry, five hundred taels of gold and thirty pearls, and the password is a hundred years of good marriage, which was given to you by your husband." ”

"Thank you, auntie!"

Ouyang Qian was moved in her heart, silently took the box, and handed it to Ah Tao to put it away.

Yu looked her up and down carefully, and saw that Ouyang Qian was a little embarrassed, "Second aunt, is the jewelry not worn properly?" ”

Yu slapped his face and praised: "A-Ning really has eyesight, I have never seen such a handsome girl, and Pei'er really has a fight, how can the two trouble-making spirits in my family not marry such a handsome girl as you!" ”

Hearing these words a little awkwardly, Ouyang Qian whispered: "Second aunt, everyone has their own fate. ”

"That's right, fate is like this, who would have thought that the mother of my first grandson was actually a Japanese lady, this is fate."

Yu comforted her again, "Don't care about the size, that's what outsiders say, our Fan family is the same, as long as you give birth to a son, you will be a great hero of the Fan family." ”

"Second aunt, I don't care."

"Okay, I'll give you another meeting."

The opening of the face is to use two threads to twist off the excess hairs on the face, so that the face becomes very smooth, which is also the key point to distinguish between a young woman and a girl, and you can know whether the woman is married or not by looking at the face.

Time flies quickly, the day is gradually coming to dusk, the time to go out, a team of drummers blow and blow to send the bride on the happy boat, welcome relatives can take a carriage, sit in a sedan chair, take a happy boat, the south of the Yangtze River is all on the happy boat, today Ouyang Qian is also on the happy boat, there are three happy boats, all full of red color, the front one sits on the drummer, Ouyang Qian sits in the middle one, there is a cabin, the latter one is the dowry and the satin of the clothes.

Fan Tiege thought it through, prepared a large number of dresses, satin, and ten boxes with a thousand taels of silver, which also looked quite rich.

The groom Fan Ning was already waiting on the boat, he took Ouyang Qian's hand and gently hugged her into the cabin, this is a five-hundred-stone ship, the cabin is very large, there are four bridesmaids, and Ah Tao is sitting on the side with a jewelry box.

The biggest advantage of taking the wedding boat is that the groom and the bride can sit together, Fan Ning and Ouyang Qian sit inside, and through the gauze curtain, they can clearly see the situation on the shore.

In the festive drum music, three happy boats sailed towards Feihongqiao, and the shore was full of people watching the excitement, although it did not seem to be a wealthy family getting married, but it was definitely a small and medium-sized family that was married in a beautiful way.

Ouyang Qian was extremely happy in her heart, gently snuggled up to her husband's body, and said with a happy face: "I never thought that I could marry in such a beautiful way!" ”

Fan Ning hugged her slender waist and smiled: "I can't think of it either!" I was able to marry Sister Qian home. ”

Ouyang Qian glanced at him, "I call you husband, and you still call me Sister Qian!" ”

"That's right! Right! It should be called a lady. ”

"Husband, are there many guests who will come later? I was a little scared. ”

"Don't worry, there are not many guests, my second uncle, second aunt, Zhu Pei's third grandfather, and my former junior brothers, all of them are my own people, oh! It is more important to have a guest, who is to give your father a long face. ”

"Two emperors and empresses in the future!"

Ouyang Qian was suddenly startled, "The Son of Heaven is here?" ”

"It's not the current son of heaven, he is the successor, and now he is not even the crown prince! The family of the king of Julu County. ”

"You mean Zhao Zongshi?"

"It's him, he's also my friend, and he's a witness for us today."

Ouyang Qian's heart was put down, whether Zhao Zongshi could succeed to the throne or not, I don't know yet!

She whispered again, "What about Jupe?" ”

"She's in the back house, and when the wedding is over, we'll have a glass of wine together, and that's the family."

........

Cuiyun Tower is arranged with brilliant lights, the lake is also dotted with lotus lanterns, the whole garden is like a fairyland, a team of dancers are dancing in the gentle singing.

In front of Cuiyun Building, a green house was built, in the middle was a large table, on which a big red candle was placed, and in the middle was a big Chinese character.

The guests sitting on both sides of the Qinglu attended the wedding, in addition to Fan Tiege and his wife, Zhu Yuanfeng and daughter Zhu Jie, matchmaker Xie Jiuling and his wife and daughter Xie Ling'er, as well as Fan Ning's four junior brothers: Lin Hong, Dong Kun, Tang Youwei and Duan Yu.

Of course, there are also Zhao Zongshi as a witness, his wife Gao Taotao, and his son Zhao Zhongzhen.

In addition, there were two unexpected guests, Zhao Zongshi's father-in-law Gao Zunfu, who happened to be in his son-in-law's mansion today, and when he heard the news of Fan Ning's concubine, he went home and came with his wife.

There is another Cao Tong, he came to find Fan Ning today to follow Fan Mingren to Nanyang, and happened to see that he was arranging the garden, and heard that Fan Ning was marrying a concubine, so he simply brought his wife too.

Although there are not many people, it is lively, everyone is drinking tea and chatting, at this time, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "The bridegroom and bride have arrived!" ”
