Chapter 297: Willing to Marry

"Oh, I don't know which lady of the Zhang family is marrying, and which son of the Kuai family is marrying?" Du Qian asked as if gossipy, with a curious face, but in fact, his heartbeat was already accelerating. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Du Qian doesn't know much about the Kuai family, listening to the guy's meaning, except for the second son, there doesn't seem to be any outstanding candidate.

As for the Zhang family, Du Qian is much more familiar with it, Zhang Yu has a lot of wives and concubines, many children, and has inherited Zhang Yu's genes, the man is handsome, the woman is enchanting, and her cousin Zhang Xiu is a big beauty, but among her many sisters, she can only be regarded as ordinary, not the best.

The news came too quickly, and Du Qian hadn't figured it out yet, a marriage like this, obviously for political reasons, and a very thorough marriage, usually wouldn't end well. Do you want to be a cousin or not?

"The lord of Kuaicheng is naturally the second son, and only he is qualified to pick people. Speaking of which, it's really a little strange, you know at a glance that you are an understanding person, you should know that the young lady of the Zhang family, all beautiful as flowers, IKEA and suitable rooms, but this time, the second son pointed out that he wanted to marry a concubine Zhang girl as his wife. "The man said this, his face was incredible.

You must know that after half a year, Pingchuan City has become accustomed to the Kuai City Lord, and the matter of the Kuai family has been spread wildly for a long time, and many things that were originally potential underwater have been surfaced. As we all know, the Kuai family is a bastard, only the city lord is average, a golden phoenix flew out of the chicken nest, and the second son is the top of the whole family.

Today's Pingchuan City, on the surface, is the lord of Kuaipeng Kuicheng, but in fact, all major matters have to go through the hands of the second son, and Kuani is a well-deserved dungeon lord. After a long time, anyone can understand the Tao.

There was really an urgent matter, the two deputy city lords of Zhang and Ming even crossed Kuai Peng and directly discussed with Kuai, all the decrees of Pingchuan City in the past year were all from the hands of the second son.

Today's Pingchuan City, the name of the second son, such as the sun, all the commercial houses are quite satisfied, the tax has increased significantly, in addition to the part of the national tax handed over to the Beijing royal family, there is a large amount of interception, this money, not used to transform the city lord's mansion and other pleasures, nor allocated to the city municipal for people's livelihood, but to strengthen the production of all kinds of war materials, every day there are countless kinetic energy vehicles, the massive war materials are transported to the permanent warehouse on the outskirts of Pingchuan City, preserved.

Even if Pingchuan is just a small place, everyone's vision may not be very high, but everyone has a pole in their hearts, and what the second son did, in the eyes of everyone, no one can find the slightest fault. The comptoirs made money, the factories worked overtime day and night, and the workers made money, although it was not much, but so many war materials were stored in the warehouse, and those were money, and maybe even life.

The national war is together, the dust and smoke in the four places, and everything must serve the war. The empire will make a large amount of apportionment to the cities, in the name of war taxes, in the past national wars, apportionment again and again, will exhaust the last drop of blood of the people, now the more war materials are stored, the easier life will be in the future.

Of course, compared with the peaceful years, the so-called ease is still not as good as the original life, but as long as you can live, eat and clothe yourself, during the national war, it is already a good life.

In addition to the war tax apportionment, the city defense army outside the city will also be transferred to the front line in batches, and the national war period is not as good as usual, and the regular corps of the empire is far from enough to consume, and even a fraction of it is insufficient, and a large number of city defense troops are needed, and even the police may be turned into soldiers.

First the city defense army, then the police force, and then there will be a general round of war, retired soldiers will be on the chariot again, and young men will be recruited into the army, and they will continue to be replenished to supplement the bottomless movement of the national war.

All the equipment and military resources recruited by the local government, whether it is the city defense army, the police, or the reserves, were provided by the local government, and in the later stages of the war, it was very difficult to distribute even the most basic supplies to the front line, and there would even be soldiers who starved to death.

Therefore, the better prepared a city is, the better the chance of surviving the war and the fewer people will die. Whether it is the city defense army or the reserve, talent is the foundation, they are all the people of the city, their homes, relatives, are here.

The second son's investment in municipal administration has not only not increased, but has been shrinking, including the salaries of municipal officials, which are declining, and the work that needs to be done has increased exponentially. There are only two places where the second son has increased investment.

The first is the War Orphanage Academy, which has more than tripled in size in one year, and most of the places in the current Orphanage Academy are vacant, and the number of instructors is also increasing, and there is not much work to be done.

In this regard, the people of Pingchuan did not complain, maybe one day, their children will walk into that cold gate and live in it for a full ten years before they can enter society.

The second is transportation, and the roads from Pyeongcheon Castle to the suburbs have been completely renovated. The production of kinetic energy transport boats was increased, and the suburban airport was expanded.

Don't look at only these two things, but it costs a lot, the expansion of the War Orphan Academy doesn't cost a few dollars, but transportation has always been the largest part of the municipal government.

The transport boat has been available for thousands of years, but the construction cost of that thing is not low, the cost of use is also high, and the survivability in the field is relatively low, so not many cities are willing to use it.

Generally speaking, transport boats are mostly used by the military, as well as major trading houses, and smaller trading houses cannot afford to use them.

The benefits are naturally very obvious, the carrying capacity is large, you can fly in the sky, you are not limited by the ground type, although the speed is not fast, no matter how much faster than the kinetic car.

The second son continued to oppress and reduce the lives of the people of Pingchuan, his work was more tired, his food was worse, and his income was better, but his reputation among the people was getting better and better. It's really a pity, if only he also had the talent of a martial monk, the second prince is still very young and can be the city lord for many years.

Such a beloved dungeon master got married, and he also designated the candidate for his fiancée, which naturally attracted the attention of all parties, and no one could say clearly, what did the second son like about the daughter of the Zhang family, among the sisters of the Zhang family, she was not conspicuous at all, and I had not heard that she had any special skills?

Sure enough, extraordinary people, doing extraordinary things, if everyone had such an eyesight, they would have become the lord of Pingchuan City a long time ago.

"Lady, who is the disciple from, and what is your name?" Listening to the guy's words, Du Qian's heart beat a little faster.

"From the Du family, the lady is a show, it's not good to talk nonsense, three days later, Sister Xiu is Mrs. Kuai. Speaking of which, he squeezed his eyebrows at Du Qian, with a look of what you mean, Mrs. Dungeon Lord, even if she is Lao Tzu Zhang Yu, she has to give her some face.

Among the common people, not many people care about their concubines, only famous nobles and children of families talk about those useless. Who among the common people can afford to marry two wives? Where does the distinction between concubines come from? As long as they are biological.

At this moment, Du Qian's heartbeat stopped for a second in an instant, his face turned a little pale, and his premonition became a reality, but he didn't expect that he was really a cousin?

"It's such a big event, it must be very lively in three days. ”

"Needless to say, the whole city has a day off, a rare rest, after the second son is in charge, everything is good, but it is stricter, the working hours are extended, the quality requirements are high, it is really tiring, and the income is still decreasing......" Dr. Tea La La La talked non-stop, sounding like he was complaining, but everyone could see that he was sincerely convinced of the second son of the Kuai family.

Du Qian's mind couldn't turn for a while, which was completely different from what he had guessed. What he thought before was that the Kuai family took advantage of the situation to oppress people, and the Zhang family took the opportunity to marry and sacrifice a daughter in exchange for temporary stability in order to plan for the future.

The most feared thing is that it is the cousin who is sacrificed, and it turns out that he is going to marry someone, but whether this is a sacrifice or not has to think about it, the Kuai family is going to get married, but the second son, who is known as the lord of the dungeon, in addition to the talent of cultivation, this second son has no talent for cultivation, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with Dr. Tea, it is completely a great and righteous character, and he is also a single cousin, and he wants to ask to marry.

Du Qian naturally knew that as long as the second son showed this meaning, the cousin's attitude was no longer important, and the aunt was afraid that she would not be able to speak in front of Zhang Yu, as long as Zhang Yu was willing, this matter would be done.

"Doctor, do you have a phone? Lend me a hand. As he spoke, another twenty yuan Zhoushan coin was pushed over, these money was still earned in Pingchuan City, after leaving here, Du Qian rarely used Zhoushan coins, and the worst was the basic spirit rune as currency.

"Of course, please wait. "The teahouse is in the central area, naturally it is the top in Pingchuan City, the service is quite good, and in a moment, the phone is in front of Du Qian.

"Thank you. Du Qian picked up the phone, his eyebrows were twisted, this call, is it appropriate to call now?

After a while, Du Qian finally made up his mind and pressed the familiar number. Don't look at Du Qian's more than ten years of living in Pingchuan City, there are really not many opportunities to use the phone, and there are only a few that he can remember.

After waiting for half a minute, the dial speaker sounded more than a dozen times, and when Du Qian thought that no one would answer, he finally connected: "Hey?"

There was a tired voice from his cousin Zhang Xiu on the phone, neither high nor low, he couldn't hear joy and anger, Du Qian felt that his cousin didn't seem to be sad or happy, that is, there was no joy and shyness of the bride, and there was no anger of anger and resentment, and it was as calm as if she was not married.

"Psychologically, would you like to marry?" After pausing for three seconds, Du Qian gritted his teeth and asked.

Aunt and cousin are his closest people, but there are not many opportunities for actual contact, because of his identity, Du Qian rarely sees his aunt, and most of the time it is conveyed by his cousin. Even so, there are not many opportunities for Du Qian and his cousin to meet, and after a year, it is too much to see each other three or five times.

On the surface, it seems that his cousin and him are also not affectionate, but Du Qian knows that they really care about themselves and keep their distance so that Du Qian can live better. (To be continued.) )
