Li Xiao finally gave Zhu Gaoxu a chance.

After all, this salt mine is all Zhu Gaoxu's silver, and he has been busy for a long time, and the salt mine is also the news he heard.

If you don't share any benefits from him, it's a little unreasonable.

Haven't you become an ungrateful villain?

So, Li Xiao took out one percent of the shares of the salt farm, and Li Xiao and Zhu Gaoxu were half of them.

The remaining ninety percent will be given to the old father-in-law as a dowry.

There is a good saying, no matter how poor you are, you don't work with relatives, and you don't plough people's fields when you starve to death.

The old man wants to give his own land, and he can't empty his gloves and white wolves, let people eat idle meals and gossip.

And Zhu Gaoxu also left satisfied.

Not long after Zhu Gaoxu left, someone came to report, and another person came.

Li Xiao came to the main hall and asked his subordinates to invite people in.

"I've seen Li Xiaogongzi."

Walking in was a very delicate young man, about twenty years old, wearing an official uniform, and arched his hand:

"Below is Ma He, the ceremonial officer of the Yanwang Mansion, who came to discuss the marriage with the son."

This ritual office is an institution under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty Governor's History Division, which was established in the fourth year of Hongwu.

The main duty is etiquette, and the duties are not much different from those of the palace celebrants.

The number one rituals of the ceremonial institute belong to the sesame official of the ninth grade.

Li Xiao, who has become a family and has a lot of rules, nodded slightly, and led the person inside: "It turned out to be Lord Dianyi, come in and sit." ”

"Adults don't dare to be, just call me Ma He."

Ma He arched his hand, After all, the other party is the future county horse, where can he be called an adult?

"Huh?"

Li Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "What did you say your name was?" Where? ”

"In the dismount and, people from Kunyang, Yunnan." Horses and returns.

"Are you Ma Sanbao?"

Li Xiao was a little surprised, this is a celebrity.

The famous Three Treasures eunuch, Zheng He went to the West to connect the Maritime Silk Road, and learned it in primary school textbooks.

"It's here, why do you know the nickname of the lower official?"

Ma He asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, nothing."

Li Xiao smiled and waved his hand: "I just heard your name from people chatting, and you are very responsible in the mansion." ”

"Childe praised it."

Horses and some flattered.

Now Ma He is a nobody, there is no hope of climbing up, and he is also hoping that someone can give him a boost.

"Please sit down, I don't know what the process is and what you need to do. Come on, make tea for Master Ma. ”

Li Xiao said very politely.

After Ma He picked up the teacup with both hands and said politely, he began to reply:

"The first two items of marriage are called Nacai and asking for names, and this link has already been arranged by the lower officials, let's skip it directly."

"The third and fourth items are called Najib and the alliance. The lower officials have also been arranged. ”

"Li Xiao only needs to send his family members to the palace on the day of marriage, and send a copy of the book, and the woman will reply to the post. It is called Wending, that is, the alliance is reached, and you can choose a day to get married. ”

Li Xiao nodded and asked, "In other words, I only need to bring the dowry and write a book, and I don't have to worry about anything else, you have arranged it, is that what you mean?" ”

"Yes, Li Xiaogongzi."

Ma He nodded, and said: "But I heard that Li Xiao Gongzi has no family members and can only send it by himself, and I will measure the size of Gongzi today, so as to prepare embroidered pythons, yarn hats, gold belts, court boots, etc. for Gongzi." ”

It's about the decency of the palace and the decency of the royal family, which cannot be taken lightly.

"Okay, that's fine."

Li Xiao didn't care about these things, and asked, "Is there anything special about this dowry?" ”

Ma He said: "According to your own financial resources, the son can do whatever he wants." ”

This is Xu Miaoyun's special explanation in advance, the other party is from a poor background, so it is good to be casual.

"That's not going to work."

Li Xiao frowned and said, "Just say it, if I am a rich family, how should I buy it?" ”

I still have the two thousand taels of silver given by Zhu Di in my pocket, if I don't do things beautifully, is it worthy of my father-in-law's good intentions?

Ma He then spoke: "Hui Gongzi, if you are a rich person, the small gift is thirty-six, the middle gift is sixty-four, and the big gift is one hundred and twenty, and the silk and satin, gold and silver are carried into the door in a box." As for how much, it is also within one's means. ”

Gold and silver are carried in chests?

Li Xiao thought about it, but forgot it.

However, gold and silver jewelry can be prepared.

The face is not too ugly.

Isn't it necessary to get married in the future with hardware?

Li Xiao plans to buy hardware to talk about his heart.

Seeing Li Xiao's face change, Ma He said: "Li Gongzi doesn't need to worry too much, the lower officials can still see that whether it is the prince or the princess, they are quite satisfied with you and know your situation." ”

"Alright, I know, I'll go get ready. As for how to write a book? Please also take the trouble to give a sample. ”

Li Xiao said he knew.

Ma He handed the sample to Li Xiao, "The sample has been brought, and Xiao Gongzi has collected it." ”

"Then the lower officer will help you measure your height and waistline."

Ma He arched his hand and pulled out the rope used to measure his figure, "Please also ask Childe to stand up straight." ”

"Okay."

Li Xiao stood up and let the horse and the rope be used to figure it out.

He took the opportunity to ask, "Ma He, how are you doing in the palace?" ”

Ma He only regarded the other party chatting with himself, and said while measuring:

"With the appreciation of King Yan, the lower officials had the opportunity to leave the barracks, and they have entered the Yan King's Mansion since they were fourteen years old."

"Xia Guan was originally a useless person, thinking that this life was hopeless."

"Only when you enter the Yanwang Mansion can you know that being able to enter the palace is a blessing from the third generation."

"Princess Yan is very good to us subordinates, and has selected knowledgeable officials to come to King Yan's Mansion to teach us subordinates and improve our level."

"Xia Guan was also fortunate to be appreciated by Princess Yan, and was allowed to read the books in the library in the palace, and learned a lot of knowledge, so that he had the opportunity to be the ceremonial of the palace."

Li Xiao nodded secretly, full of surprise in his heart.

In feudal society, to the subordinates who entered the mansion, opened up the upward channel?

The people who have been cultivated in this way are definitely loyal to the palace!

Her mother-in-law Xu Miaoyun is amazing!

Although their ascent channel is the institution in the palace at the top, the highest is a nine-rank official.

But this little bit of hope, in feudal society, is enough for people to follow with their lives!

No wonder King Yan was able to rebel successfully, all of this was silently cultivated behind the scenes by his mother-in-law.

There are countless people who are willing to risk cutting off their heads and do not hesitate to give their lives to Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Heroes don't ask where they come from.

Select some capable people from these people and cultivate them slowly, and you can also cultivate some talents.

And this horse and is one of them.

He was originally a subordinate, to put it bluntly, he was a slave, but now he can be a nine-grade official. It's already turned over serfs to sing.

Ma He said with a smile: "Li Xiaogongzi, so you married the lord of Yong'an, it is really a great blessing, although you are a farmer, but the lower officials guarantee your life, King Yan and the princess will not despise you because of your identity." ”

"I agree with that."

Li Xiao nodded.

Who are the people around Zhu Di?

Loyal to the five major and three rough military forces, ambitious monks. If Zhu Di looks down on these people, it is estimated that he will not be able to do anything.
