Chapter 10: Weddings

Li Zicheng, this is a name that all later generations are very familiar with, history has mixed reviews of this King Chuang, some people say that he is an excellent leader of the peasant rebel army, some people say that he personally cut off the Ming Dynasty, and welcomed Jiannu into the Central Plains.

In addition to Wu Sangui, the leader of the Ningyuan Army, Li Zicheng is the number one traitor.

In the second year of Chongzhen, if he didn't join the rebel army, the Ming Dynasty would not be so chaotic, how could he give the Jiannu in the Northeast an opportunity?

But Sun Ming doesn't see it that way, the Ming Dynasty has already rotted like this, the people can't eat, they are hungry all over the wilderness, if Sun Ming would have rebelled in the morning.

The feudal dynasty lasted for more than 2,000 years, and the people were squeezed to the extreme, but as long as there was a chance to live, they would not rebel.

Now there is Li Zicheng in the northwest, Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, Manchu in the northeast, and the Central Plains are full of wolf smoke.

If the court is incompetent, everyone should be punished.

However, since Sun Ming entered the Tang Dynasty Mansion and picked up an old man from the future Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, there are some things that must be done.

"Father, these things are not something we should worry about, we are the most ordinary businessmen, and there are naturally emperors and those who are soldiers in the war!"

Sun Ming didn't say what was in his heart, for fear that his father would worry.

"However, father, I don't think our family's silk industry should be done, if you can, can you make coal, copper, iron and grain?"

"Huh? Son, what do you mean by that? Although the ore can also be mined by the people, but it is managed by the government, and a large amount of taxes need to be paid every year. ”

Sun Dacai shook his head and rejected his precious son's proposal.

However, Sun Ming is not in a hurry, his father is not a traverser, so it is normal not to see the stakes here, and for now, silk is indeed very profitable.

Those merchants in Nanyang and Europa liked the silk of the Ming Dynasty very much, and there was also a saying among the people that one or two pieces of silk and one tael of gold.

But this is in peacetime, and now there are rebels everywhere, and there are strong enemies outside, and many people can't even eat, who cares if the clothes are gorgeous or not?

Grain has always been the foundation of the country, and once the war burns to Nanyang Mansion, a large amount of grain reserves is necessary.

There are also copper and iron, which are the most valuable war resources now, whether it is to make armor, weapons, or even three-eyed guns, arquebuses, and artillery, these metals are inseparable.

Sun Ming must plan ahead.

"Father, you just listen to your son this time, and you will definitely not suffer."

Sun Ming said firmly.

It is now the eighth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng has 200,000 troops, and he has already reached Henan from southwest Shaanxi, and this is not his end.

After the fall of Henan, Li Zicheng waved his troops eastward, broke through Fengyang, dug the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family, and the rebel army ushered in a highlight moment, and the momentum reached its peak.

Sun Ming didn't want to be a ghost under Li Zicheng's sword, and he had to defend the defense line in Henan.

In the past, he might have been able to run away with his father, but anyway, the family had money, so where would he not live?

Who was sitting on the dragon chair, he didn't really care.

But not now, my father-in-law is the famous Tang King Zhu Yujian, and from the moment he crossed over, he had been pulled into the chariot, and there was no way out.

"Okay, when your father is done with your marriage, you will get together with your old friends and find a way."

In the end, Sun Dacai still listened to his son's opinion, not that he was optimistic about the business of iron and copper grain, but that he doted on his son too much and couldn't bear to refuse.

The world knows that these businesses are the most profitable, but the more this is the case, the more people are surrounding like flies, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

"Father, don't have so much psychological pressure, don't forget, I am now the son-in-law of the palace, if anyone doesn't give face to your father, it will be to slap the face of the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, in the realm of Nanyang Mansion, no one has such courage."

Sun Ming comforted.

"Well, my son has a future, and I, as a father, am also pleased."

Sun Dacai's eyes turned red again, and Sun Ming was speechless.

He didn't say anything, let alone do anything great, how could he be a son-in-law of the palace?

Why didn't I find out that the old father was still a monster before.

In the past few days, Nanyang Mansion has exploded, and the young master of Sun Dacai's family has entered the Tang Palace, becoming the golden beetle son-in-law of the county lord.

Some people are waiting to see the jokes of the Sun family, there is only one son in the family, and he has been a son-in-law to the palace, Sun Dacai has so much money, and he will not be eaten and wiped clean by his relatives in the future.

In addition to these gossips, there are many gnashing of teeth.

Wang Kang of the Wang family is one of them, everyone used to play together fox friends and dog friends, and he was even more happy to bully Sun Ming, and the last time the county lord was slighted, it was his idea.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not play Sun Ming to death, but he also let this kid get into the palace, and he even bullied his own head a few days ago, which is really hateful.

"The surname Sun, wait, Lao Tzu will definitely let you die a good death!"

Wang Kang clenched his fists to death, and cursed in his heart that Sun Ming was killed by lightning when he went out, and his ancestral grave was dug up by others......

Under the watchful eye, the sedan chair of Tang Wangfu stopped at the door of Sun's house.

Sun Ming twisted and pinched, but finally got into the big sedan chair under the eyes of his old father.

In the past, Sun Ming also fantasized that if he got married, he would have a Chinese-style wedding, and he would use eight sedan chairs to carry his wife into the house in a beautiful manner.

In the previous life, it was not successful, but in this life, I did see the eight sedan chairs.

But...... It's not to greet my wife.

"Alas, it's really impermanent, the large intestine wraps the small intestine."

Sun Ming sat in the sedan chair, and it was awkward to say that this thing looked beautiful on the surface, but it was too uncomfortable to sit on, far worse than the Rolls-Royce of later generations.

I was in a complicated mood all the way and came to the door of Tang Wangfu.

At this time, the guests and friends from all over the world were in place, and the traffic in front of the door was busy, so it was not lively.

"The newcomer gets off the sedan car!"

Liu Zhongyi shouted at the throat of the male duck.

The maid opened the sedan curtain, and Sun Ming got out of the sedan chair like a new daughter-in-law, and then stepped into the brazier and entered the gate of the Tang Palace.

It stands to reason that Zhu Xiuyun should ride a high-headed horse and go to Sun's house to greet her husband, but Zhu Xiuyun's skin is too thin, so this link is omitted.

At dusk, the wedding banquet of the palace has been arranged, and a couple of newlyweds are also standing in the main hall of the palace, with Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, and his wife Zeng sitting in front of them.
