On the morning of June 1, the third year of Ankang.

Wang Ya and Li Erni, two young girls, under the guidance of the palace servants, went to Ciqing Palace to meet Zhu Jingyuan.

This is an official direct meeting between the two parties, and in fact it is also the last confirmation.

The two sides had a simple conversation to deepen their impression of each other, and confirmed on the spot that there was no dissatisfaction with each other.

Only then will the ceremony of marriage begin in earnest.

When she officially met Zhu Jingyuan, Li Erni changed into a pink girl's skirt.

The peasants in Xintianfu live well, and the standards of clothing, food, housing and transportation are on par with those of the previous middle-level landlords.

The children basically have new clothes to wear every year, and they all have high-end satin clothes.

Now Li Erni's whole person is in a radiant state.

Although she tried to stabilize her posture and expression, the corners of her mouth and the shape of her eyebrows slowly changed to a smiling posture.

A pair of bright big eyes are always watery, revealing the infinite joy in her heart.

Liu Muyun and Yu Duxue also had similar reactions at the beginning.

After all, Zhu Jingyuan's conditions are really impeccable, and the girls who have not yet been met with him are all satisfied with him.

As an orphan, Wang Ya is still wearing school clothes, and she has lost her family, and now she has no other clothes.

Wang Ya was also very emotional when she saw Zhu Jingyuan, but unlike her companions who were full of pure joy, her expression and demeanor were all like crying.

This made Zhu Jingyuan a little surprised, and he subconsciously speculated in his heart, didn't this girl come over voluntarily:

"No need to be polite, Wang Ya, are you uncomfortable? Or do you not want to come yourself, are the people of the Zongren Mansion persecuting you? ”

Wang Ya immediately saluted again and explained a little nervously:

"No, no one forced me, I am willing to marry His Highness, and I am very happy.

"It was His Highness's proposal and arrangement that lifted me out of the most desperate life and gave me a sense of being alive again.

"So when I saw you, I couldn't help myself, so I lost my temper......"

She has a complicated experience and is already seventeen years old, she has been sensible since she was a child, and she knows how to express her feelings.

From Wang Ya's simple words, Zhu Jingyuan vaguely realized the pain she had experienced.

Zhu Jingyuan once again recalled what he knew about her experience, and felt that there might be an unstable factor hidden in it.

She doesn't seem to have any resentment against herself, the Ming royal family, and the Ming court now.

But when you are hit in the future, when your emotions fluctuate violently, those memories may not breed resentment.

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a few seconds and decided to enlighten her on the spot, which is also a part of mutual familiarity.

But you don't need to ask Wang Ya specifically, you can talk to the two of them:

"Have you two ever thought about why Da Ming wants to fight?"

Wang Ya shook her head directly:

"I didn't think about it, and I don't know why ......"

Li Erni said as a matter of course:

"Only by fighting can we have more land, more food and meat......"

Zhu Jingyuan listened to the words of the two, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the mentality of the people of Xintianfu is really different from that of the local people of Daming.

However, this should also be caused by the different experiences of the two.

Wang Ya's father died because of the war, and her mother died indirectly because of the war.

She herself suffered a lot because of the war.

She hadn't thought about why Da Ming was fighting before, and she might suddenly start thinking about this question at any time in the future.

When no one influences her, if she starts to think about these questions on her own, the answers are not fixed.

If someone deliberately guides her, she may even be counted on the royal family and the Ming court.

This is where the unstable factors that Zhu Jingyuan thought of before are.

As the prince's own princess and concubine, if he didn't look at the image on the spot, but let the Zongren Mansion screen it, Wang Ya's background would be eliminated in the investigation stage.

To be a prince or even a princess, a happy family is a very important condition.

Because there is no way to directly verify people's thinking, we can only exclude external factors that may affect the way of thinking as much as possible.

There is a high probability that people with happy families will not have any grievances, and there is a high probability that there will be no major psychological shadows.

People with grudges and psychological shadows may make extreme choices in exceptional circumstances that are unknown.

Mental health is also health.

Zhu Jingyuan followed the answers of the two and asked:

"Then have you ever thought about what Da Ming would be like if Da Ming didn't fight?

"Since the time of Emperor Shizu, we have not fought with foreign tribes?"

Li Erni is young and has not learned enough history and is not detailed enough, but she has a clever brain:

"If I don't fight with foreign tribes and can't get these lands overseas, then I should still live in Daming proper?

"There is not much land in the local area, if everyone is in the local area, there must not be so much land, and it will definitely not be good to eat and wear."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded slightly and looked at Wang Ya next to him.

Most of Wang Ya's grades are very good, and she also has a good understanding of history:

"If it weren't for Emperor Shizu to turn the tide, our Ming Dynasty might have fallen into the hands of Hu Lu again, and the sons and daughters of China would have been reduced to slavery, not to mention overseas expansion......"

Zhu Jingyuan sighed and said:

"We may no longer exist, or we may be enslaved and servant to the captive chieftains, and we may be at the hands of our captive masters.

"So if we hadn't fought at that time, we wouldn't have been able to keep our own homes.

"Even if there is no trouble, we can't fight without fighting.

"If there is no war, there will be no granaries in Nanyang and Yinzhou, no minerals in Tiannan, and no oil for big food.

"We have a population of 40,000 in the Ming Dynasty, and if we are crowded into the land of two capitals and thirteen provinces, we can only struggle to survive.

"Most ordinary people must be in a state of being poorly clothed and hungry, let alone thinking about anything about fine clothes and food.

"From the rich to the small, they all have to work all day long, and they have to fight each other.

"The emperor also had to intrigue with the civil officials in order to obtain resources to maintain the stability of the court.

"In the event of floods, droughts and famines, the tragedy of cannibalism may recur, and human life may not be as good as pigs and dogs.

"Most of the Ming Dynasty will die, and after the establishment of the new dynasty, there may be signs of prosperity again.

"But that's just because the war has destroyed too many people and made living space more abundant again.

"The limits that the new dynasty can reach are difficult to surpass the peak of the previous dynasty.

"It's just that the princes and nobles have changed.

"That's why it is said: 'Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer'.

"Even in the Taiping Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty didn't want to fight a world war, so it wouldn't work.

"The world war was not provoked by the Ming royal family and the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty was also passive and had to face it to a certain extent.

"If the Ming court surrenders directly, of course, it will not be able to keep overseas land, overseas food and resources.

"That is to give up the wealth and colonies of the Ming Dynasty to Xiyi, and the local territory will be exploited by Xiyi.

"The people of the Ming Dynasty, as before, are struggling in their homeland, and at the same time they have to worship Xiyi.

"Therefore, both rise and fall are suffering.

"Then the question is not whether it is bitter or not, but whether we can be prosperous, and only after we are prosperous can we be less bitter.

"Fortunately, Daming won and was happy.

"In the foreseeable future, the people of Daming will not need to experience that kind of pain.

"If you want to be prosperous, you have to fight, and you need people to fight.

"There must be people among us who go to war, to protect our country and our people, to seize land, food, resources.

"Your Majesty and the Imperial Court do not appoint any particular person to undertake such an obligation.

"But all those who are willing to take on this obligation, he is a hero to our country and our people.

"It's like Wang Ya's father......

"Without their heroic battles, without their garrisons at the border gates, without their siege of cities, we would not have had a stable and prosperous life in the rear.

"We certainly don't want them to die, and we've been working hard to improve our equipment and reduce the likelihood of sacrifice.

"But this kind of thing is still not completely avoidable.

"So we want to give him honor and wealth, and we want to let him have no worries.

"What the imperial court did before was obviously not good enough.

"Wang Ya, although your mother's illness is not directly related to the imperial court, it was indirectly caused by your father's sacrifice for the country.

"The imperial court should take on the responsibility of supporting and caring for her and you.

"So I made this request and simplicity, and I hope we can do better in the future.

"Whoever has had such a personal experience, you can give me advice in this regard.

"Let the pain you suffered not happen again."

When Zhu Jingyuan said the first half, Wang Ya was listening and thinking carefully.

I understand that war cannot be completely avoided, and I also know that my father's death is not inevitable.

This situation can only be regarded as an accident when it happens to me, and this pain and accident befall me.

】

Zhu Jingyuan said in the end, when she mentioned herself, Wang Ya finally couldn't bear it, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Many times, it's good to cry out when you're uncomfortable, but something may happen if you hold it in your heart.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at Wang Ya's state, took a few steps forward and gently hugged the girl.

This action is not very appropriate in this era, but it is still more appropriate in this case.

Wang Ya felt Zhu Jingyuan's movements, and she had never experienced this kind of thing, and she subconsciously wanted to break free.

But in the end, he couldn't help it, leaned directly on Zhu Jingyuan's chest, and a thought was born in his heart:

"If I didn't have these experiences, if I didn't have these pains, I wouldn't have had a chance to come to him......

Li Erni was also standing next to her, and she was also very fascinated by what she heard, and felt that what His Highness said was very reasonable.

As a result, looking at the reactions and movements of these two people in the end, my cheeks immediately turned red.

I think this is too bold at the same time, but also vaguely yearning.

After Wang Ya's mood stabilized, today's meeting was basically over.

The two girls were taken out of Zhu Jingyuan's palace and placed in a royal garden outside the palace.

Before the Renmu Dynasty, the marriage of the prince, especially the etiquette issues, was the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.

After the Renwu Dynasty, they were all handed over to the Zongren Mansion, and the Ministry of Rites didn't care about the emperor's family affairs.

The New Heavenly Mansion also has a resident agency of the Zongren Mansion, which is responsible for explaining the rules to Wang and Li, arranging the wedding date, and preparing the etiquette.

The Zongren Mansion consulted Zhu Jingyuan and the two girls themselves, and changed their names to the two of them.

Wang Ya changed her name to Wang Ya, obviously changing Ya to a more elegant character with similar pronunciation.

Li Erni named Li Shuangni, and Ni also changed the "Yazi" with a similar pronunciation, but changed the two to double.

Double neon is also a good image, when two rainbows appear in pairs, the outer side is neon, and the inner side is rainbow.

In the next month, Zhu Jingyuan, Wang Ya and Li Shuangni got married one after another.

Liu Muyun and Yu Duxue's second children also gave birth smoothly.

Both of them gave birth to a daughter this time, and Zhu Jingyuan named them Xiaolu and Chenxi respectively.

The site of Zhu Jingyuan's test garden has also been finalized.

To the east of Sanqing City, there is a lagoon of more than 40 square kilometers in the land that Zhu Jianyan gave to Zhu Jingyuan.

The sand bars on the shores of this lagoon are already thicker, more than two kilometers wide, and have completely cut off the lagoon from the sea.

Now the lake flows into the sea only through a very narrow channel.

The lagoon has become completely inland, and the salt content of the lake is much lower than that of seawater.

Now there are plans to build another small canal of more than 10 kilometers to divert another relatively large river into the lagoon.

If the lake continues to be flushed with more river water, it should eventually be able to turn into a lake completely.

The earth and stones dug out of the canal were piled up to create an artificial island in the lake.

In fact, the West Lake in Daming was originally a lagoon.

At least part of the lake is also made up of lagoons, and the lakes east of the lake are also made up of lagoon forms.

The Yangtze River Delta, where Songjiang Prefecture is located, is basically made up of sediment from the Yangtze River, plus sand bars along the coast, piled up over thousands of years.

Zhu Jingyuan's estate project, which is placed on a sand bar between the lagoon and the sea, is now flat here.

In this way, the manor can go to the beach to play in the sea water when you go out to the south, and you can go to the lake to play in the water when you go out to the north.

Amusement city and other entertainment facilities are built on the sand bar where the manor is located.

The land between the sea and the lake, with a total area of more than 20 square kilometers, is enough to build all the recreational facilities.

In fact, the area is still at the end of the low, hilly terrain, so the beach is two kilometers away from the water ten meters deep.

Therefore, if you build a trestle outside, you can also allow large warships to dock directly.

Although it is very close to the ocean, there is no concept of typhoons or hurricanes in the entire South Yinzhou area.

Typhoons that have occurred in history can even be counted on your fingers.

So there is no need to worry about environmental safety.

Work began as soon as the address was determined, first of all, to repair the canal and clean up the surrounding environment of the lagoon.

Modern people like the environment of mountains and rivers, but the primeval forests and water pools are basically not suitable for direct human habitation.

Parasites and wildlife are both big problems.

Wild vegetation can even be toxic and harmful, not to mention pleasing to the eye.

The beautiful environment in which modern people live is fully cleaned and artificially repaired.

Most of the land that Zhu Jianyan gave to Zhu Jingyuan as a reward was wasteland, not built-up areas.

Originally, there was no regular farmland, let alone cities and residential areas.

Now the land is basically being developed from scratch.

When the entire manor was completely built, Zhu Jingyuan would definitely not be in Xintianfu.

Therefore, it is necessary to manage the priorities.

First, in the middle of a small area, can live and use the place, with the fastest speed to do a good job.

Let Zhu Jingyuan be able to use it before leaving, and let the Emperor Taishang use it as soon as possible.

The rest will be tossed slowly later.
