In fact, it is just like what Liu Chan thought.

There really is no time to spare.

Five days later, Liu Chan originally thought that he would have at least one day of rest to get a good night's sleep.

The result?

Not a day long.

At noon on the same day, Wang Fuzhong sent Gong E to teach Liu Chan about the etiquette of marriage.

This etiquette is not only intellectual, but also hands-on.

One of them, the white-haired palace lady, heard that she used to be a palace maid in the Luoyang Palace when she was Emperor Ling, and she was displaced all the way, and now she is on an errand in the palace.

Listening to this person's words, Liu Chan also knew a lot of knowledge.

For example, the weddings of the Han Dynasty originated in the pre-Qin period, and many of the more primitive and barbaric marriage customs of the people have not been abolished.

Among them, Zhengdi "men and women are eager to gather, so they are vulgar and lewd", and Jidi "guests pass by, stay with women, and on the eve of marriage, there is no difference between men and women, but they are proud." After a while, it stopped, but it never changed."

"Weidi" has the obstacle of the mulberry and the grass, and men and women also gather urgently, so it is commonly known as the voice of Zheng Wei. ”

Today's wedding meeting, the cane is used to ridicule the governor, and the wine is drunk with the lust of fun, and the prostitution is proclaimed among the public.

At the wedding banquet, couples and guests often drink and laugh, and their words and deeds are unrestrained, which seems to be the abuse of the customs of the cave house in later generations.

Moreover, in Liu Chan's casual inquiry, Liu Chan learned that in order to prepare for Liu Chan's wedding, the palace had prepared tens of millions of money, and all aspects of preparation had actually started last year.

After hearing the news, Liu Chan could only say good guy!

Did he Liu Chan become Cixi?

In order to celebrate her sixtieth birthday, Cixi spent the military expenses of the Beiyang warlords.

In order to hold a wedding banquet, he Liu Chan delayed the reward of the meritorious soldier for several months?

"It's just a wedding, why is it so wasteful?"

Liu Chan was a little unhappy in his heart.

The old palace lady said: "What kind of person is Your Highness? To hold a wedding banquet, at least tens of millions of dollars, this is to show the bearing of our Han China, and also to let the people see the atmosphere of our Han China! ”

Temperament meteorology

This is not something that can be seen, it is typed, but Liu Chan knows that if he says this kind of thing now, it is also in vain.

This is the mood of the times.

The bureaucrats and aristocrats of the Han Dynasty married, extravagant, and competed with each other.

Rich and noble, ten cars each, riding slaves and servants, clamping hubs and festivals. The rich compete with each other, and the poor are ashamed.

This kind of extravagant atmosphere has had a great negative impact on society.

Because of the high cost of marriage, many people after marriage, "the rich are empty, and the poor are called loans".

Many young people from poor families are unable to raise a dowry and are therefore unable to marry.

Such a phenomenon affects the increase in population.

Compared with later generations, it is actually not much different.

It can only be said that future generations mourn and do not learn from it, and it also makes future generations mourn for future generations.

However, even if it is Liu Chan, this wedding is not what he says alone.

He wanted to simply hold a wedding, not only Liu Bei did not agree, but also a cadre of the Hanzhong Palace, they did not agree.

Although Liu Chan already has a lot of status, he still does not have enough energy to change this atmosphere and political customs.

So, Liu Chan honestly learned the knowledge of wedding banquets.

Pre-wedding ceremony: Na Cai → ask for → Najib → ask for → invitation

Wedding: Greet → and tie the knots together→ untie the knots

Marriage ceremony (marriage ceremony): women see their aunts→ aunts and uncles→ women give their aunts and uncles → temples to see women

After two days of studying, he was already clear about the entire wedding ceremony.

However.

Now is not the time for him to rest.

The pre-wedding ceremony "three books and six ceremonies" link must be personally inquired by him.

It wasn't until the day before they got married that Liu Chan was idle.

After tossing for four days, Liu Chan's body was beaten with iron, and he couldn't stand it.

This body is visibly thin to the naked eye.

Zhang Bao looked at Liu Chan with some pity on the side, and quipped: "Your Highness enjoys the blessings of all people, why is he lying on the bed, as if he is depressed?" ”

Liu Chan glanced at Zhang Bao angrily and said, "Becoming a parent, I didn't expect it to be so complicated and so laborious." ”

Guan Xing also smiled on the side: "Your Highness, don't worry, during the wedding banquet, we will block the wine of those people for you." ”

This sentence made Liu Chan's heart feel a lot better.

"With Anguo's words, I am relieved."

Guan Xing thought: If Your Highness is drunk from all over the world, how can you still be in a cave room?

I'm in a hurry to hug my nephew!

"How do you two have time to come and see me?"

As Liu Chan's brother-in-law, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing also played an important role in Liu Chan's wedding banquet.

Zhang Bao smiled lightly and said, "The king is afraid that His Highness will be lonely, so he wants me to come and talk to His Highness." ”

"Really?"

Guan Xing patted his chest and said, "Naturally, it's true!" ”

Zhang Bao's sandbag-sized fist beckoned to his chest, thumping.

"Of course it can't be true."

Looking at the sworn appearance of these two people, Liu Chan was noncommittal and sat up from the bed.

"If that's the case, then you don't have to come to see me, you know, a man marries four wives at the same time, that's something ordinary people can't do, although the process is a little harder, but I can still bear it."

Liu Chan's eyes swept and motioned to see off the guests.

Zhang Bao couldn't hold back at that time.

He hurriedly squeezed out a smirk on his face and said, "Your Highness, in addition to coming to relieve your loneliness for Your Highness, the two of us do have a small matter. ”

"A trifle?"

Liu Chan raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing glanced at each other and said, "For Your Highness, it is definitely a trivial matter. ”

Liu Chan looked at the two of them angrily and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go." ”

The two prevaricated for a while, but in the end, Guan Xing didn't have enough strength and was squeezed up by Zhang Bao.

He had to say embarrassedly: "Your Highness, aren't you going to go through Nanzhong?" The two of us' decision, Your Highness can see it? ”

Zhang Bao immediately echoed: "That's right! That's right! Doesn't Your Highness think that if you use our strategy, then everything Your Highness asks for can be accomplished? ”

"So you're here for this."

It seems that Nanzhong's attraction to today's Chengdu nobles is really not small.

After thinking about it, Liu Chan also understood.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

After passing through Nanzhong, not only can you get meritorious deeds, but also you can get the wealth of the sky, and it is no wonder that they are all tempted.

"Your essay is really written by yourself?"

Zhang Bao nodded immediately.

"The last general will fight at night, word by word."

And Guan Xing rolled his eyes and said, "It was done by the master of Tuo Chongwen Pavilion." ”

As soon as Guan Xing's words came out, Zhang Bao immediately glared at Guan Xing, and his eyes seemed to say: Is this something that can be said?

"To? Hold it up with a knife or gun? ”

Liu Chan hated the iron and looked at the two brothers-in-law in front of him, and said: "Zhang Yu ran to the toilet to hide, and you found out. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao was a little unconvinced.

"His Royal Highness just said that he wanted to write the text, but he didn't say that he had to write it himself, so I waited for the Great Confucian to wave the pen, wouldn't it be beneficial for His Highness to pass through the southern middle school?"

Zhang Bao's words made Liu Chan speechless.

He could only say another thing and asked, "What do you two want to do in Nanzhong?" ”

Zhang Bao immediately said: "Of course, it is to make contributions. ”

"Just to make a contribution?"

"Hey, hey, hey."

Zhang Baohan laughed, scratched his head with his right hand, and said with some embarrassment: "The last general has some family members and has formed two slave capture teams, if he can catch hundreds or thousands of strong slaves, then he will not have to worry about the rest of his life." ”

This is not to worry, of course, it is not a simple matter of eating, drinking and having fun.

It's about extravagance and enjoyment.

"Now in Chengdu, the price of a strong slave has soared to 30,000 yuan, before His Royal Highness rewarded him, this price was still between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan, in just a few days, it soared by more than 10,000 yuan, and the price of slaves will only get higher and higher.

The price of a strong slave is roughly around 20,000 yuan, and that of an ordinary slave is between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan.

Because the land was rewarded, there was a shortage of labor, and the rewarded soldiers all had spare money in hand, so the slave business was booming.

But Liu Chan had already ordered that Han slaves were not allowed to be sold, only barbarian slaves were allowed, and violators would be killed.

This policy is naturally to prevent those who are consumed by the desire for profit from arresting innocent Han people to sell for the sake of this huge profit temptation.

For the discipline of these businessmen, Liu Chan can be said to not believe in a single hair.

"If you catch a hundred slaves, that's two or three million dollars, and if you catch a thousand, that's ten million dollars."

This is indeed a huge profit.

Of course

Liu Chan knew in his heart that it was now the price increase caused by the lack of slaves in Chengdu and the imbalance between supply and demand.

Once everyone goes to hunt slaves, the price of slaves will definitely drop, and even if the supply exceeds demand, the price of slaves will be lower than usual.

But

At least in a year or two, the demand will not be low.

There are so many fields that need to be cultivated.

This shortage of slaves is definitely not a vacancy that can be filled by the civil slave catcher team in a year or two.

"A huge profit is a huge profit, but just because of this huge profit, you will be tempted?"

What is it that is tempting just because of this huge profit?

Isn't that enough?

"Your Highness. It's not 100,000 dollars, it's not a million dollars, it's 10 million dollars! ”

Grab a few thousand slaves, Your Highness, you have all the money for this wedding.

Liu Chan smiled and said: "If you want to go, I will naturally agree, but if you go to Nanzhong, you can catch slaves, can't you go to Brazil?" Brazil is much closer to Chengdu, and even more accessible by water to Jingzhou. ”

Brazil?

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were stunned.

"Your Highness means to use troops against Brazil?"

Liu Chan nodded, and said: "The land of Nanzhong, let others go, if it can't be opened, I will send troops to go again, and in the spring of the next year, I will go to Langzhong to completely solve the problem of barbarians in Badi." ”

The two glanced at each other, immediately saluted Liu Chan, and said, "Then I'll wait for the spring, and go down with His Highness." ”

Now it seems that going to Badi is better than going to Nanzhong.

After all, when you go to Nanzhong, you just catch slaves, you say to make money?

Indeed it is.

But I'm afraid there won't be much credit.

And if you follow Your Highness, you will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions.

Thinking about the joints, the two immediately saluted Liu Chan.

"Okay, okay, tomorrow's feast, block a few more glasses of wine for me, and count it as your credit, I have such a small bone, but I have to withstand it."

The two immediately beat their chests and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, if there is a drop of wine in His Highness's mouth, it is our incompetence!" ”

Liu Chan shook his head gently, he can still strategize a little bit about the war, but there is always a feeling that this marriage is not in his hands.

Following.

Big wedding.

Sure enough, as Liu Chan expected, this process will not go smoothly.

He was going to go to the Right General's Mansion to greet his relatives first, but when he arrived at the Right General's Mansion, the door of the mansion was closed, and Zhang Peilan's personal maid stepped forward and asked His Royal Highness to pick up the Guan family lady into the Prince's Mansion first.

This humility is directly revealed.

Liu Chan thought to himself: Yes! Lan Niang, you are humble, I will go to Feng'er's side.

As a result, the welcoming procession arrived at the former general's mansion, and the door of the mansion was also closed.

Guan Yinping's personal maid stepped forward and said: "The lady of the Zhang family has a blue heart and has the style of a lady, so she should go to welcome the lady of the Zhang family first." ”

Then Liu Chan went to Sun Luyu's residence, but he didn't receive anyone.

When I arrived at Princess Zhurong's residence, I didn't receive anyone.

These four people kicked him Liu Chan as a ball.

In the end, Liu Bei issued a royal order and asked Liu Chan to go to the Right General's Mansion to welcome his relatives first.

Liu Chan's journey of running around is over.

Of course

For Liu Chan, today is a bitter one.

But this matter was spread by the readers, but it changed a lot.

It is said that the four people married by the prince of Hanzhong are all knowledgeable, wise, and empathetic women, in order not to embarrass their husbands, each of them does not compete for the position.

Blessed is Your Highness!

Blessed

Blessed indeed.

It's just that the butt is almost half by the horse.

When he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Liu Chan could finally enter the next process.

The newlyweds enter and perform the ritual of washing to show solemnity;

Perform the same prison ceremony, expressing that they will be one family from now on;

The gift of harmony means sharing weal and woe;

The gift of knotting hair again means that the knot is united forever;

Then the hand holding ceremony is performed, indicating that the hand of the son is old with the son;

Finally, there are three prostrations, heaven and earth, high halls, and husband and wife worship;

This process is already cumbersome.

As a result, this process has to be carried out four more times.

didn't fold Liu Chan's small waist.

During the night banquet, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao 'desperately' blocked the wine for Liu Chan, and Liu Chan didn't drink much.

This tiring day away, he Liu Chan naturally has to make up for it at night!

And so.

For the next four days, Liu Chan stayed in a room for a day, and really enjoyed the blessings of Qi people.

Of course

In order to enjoy the blessings of these people, this suffering has been suffered.

Hua Tuo took a few apprentices and waited for the summons in the prince's mansion at any time.

The blessings of all people are to be enjoyed, but this body can be endured!

The essence of the deficit must be made up!
