Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There are six ceremonies for marriage, Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, and personal welcome, one by one, and the whole year has passed.
During this time, Li Wan also gradually completed many of the needs for starting a family.
He accompanied the owner's wife, went to the Jade Toad Palace, met the future father-in-law who was seriously ill and bedridden, and participated in the clan gathering, got to know the elders and children of the side branches, during the period of human contacts, spent a lot, fortunately had courtesy exchanges, and also received all kinds of rare treasures, which greatly enriched his private pocket.
Later, in the name of patrolling, he traveled to all parties, became familiar with the industries of all parties of the Xiao family, and visited his allies and in-laws.
The major forces that can survive in the world, a few are built by self-made cultivators, and most of them are divided and multiplied, or they are connected and coexisting with each other.
The reason is also simple, for ordinary monks, immortality is far away, it is better to have children, and it is important to have children, and it is important to reproduce children.
After Li Wan looked at various places, she gradually understood that the main business of the Xiao family was a heavenly workshop with nearly two hundred and fifty workshops, of which about 100 workshops were controlled by the family itself, and the other more than 100 were Gu family, Yan family, Gong loser, etc., the family alliance of the elders, they were the descendants of the disciples who were attached to Xiao Henggong in the past.
Xiao Henggong is the prince who founded the Xiao family in Wushan.
Xiao Henggong used to be a disciple of the inner courtyard of the Jade Toad Palace, the Xiao family had a young son, and he was not favored, nor did he get much care, he came out to break through, showing his determination to start from scratch, and only after he was supported, so the relationship with the Yan family has always been lukewarm, and after the direct grandfather has reached the end of his life, the blood relationship has gradually weakened, and it can be said that he is two completely different Xiao families.
Xiao Henggong has eight sons under his knees, of which the eldest son is the grandfather of the eldest lady and Xiao Fengyi and others, and the second son died early. The grandfather of Xiao Fang, the third to eighth sons are the ancestors of some concubines, such as Xiao Cheng who Li Wan had seen in Tongshan, Xiao Tie and others in his own field.
Most of these children are distributed in mines, farms, peaks, manors, and even immortal boats owned by the Xiao family, and they are in charge of all industries, because they are still within the five suits. They both belong to the descendants of Xiao Henggong, and the relationship is quite close.
During Li Wan's visit, he learned that several major members of the Xiao family were now only holding the title of registered disciples of the Jade Toad Palace, but they had no practical significance, and the exchanges between the two sides were not very close, but there were still many business contacts and they were important allies.
Xiao Henggong is a member of the Wushan League, which is called a brother and a brother, and the relationship is more intimate. It is the coexistence of life and death.
Yundang Mountain is the main place for consignment of treasure materials and parts, and also operates ordinary copper, iron and other mines, which have been jointly developed.
Valley of the Immortals. Feixian Palace and many other places are allies who have vigorously developed in order to get rid of the influence of Jade Toad Palace after the eldest lady took the throne. Nowadays, there are also deacons stationed in the East China Sea, and they are actively developing.
The situation on Tongshan's side, Li Wan is familiar with it. There are more than 30 workshops in the Tiangongfang, where several older elders take turns to guard the elderly, mainly to participate in the affairs of the peer alliance, get the latest news, trade treasures, and recruit refiners.
As a pattern of small and medium-sized families, it is so big, but on Lin Jingshu's side, there is only one grandfather Lin Hong, who was born in a loose cultivation, except for a few uncles and brothers, cousins, and no other relatives.
Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Shi Haoguang reported to Li Wan what had been established in the near future:
"The dowry given by the Xiao family is that there is an elixir manor in the Jade Toad Palace, which has no right of jurisdiction, but it can collect millions of spirit jade every year, which can be used as a family, and there is at least a hundred years limit, which can guarantee the harvest......;
"The dowry given by the Lin family is a hundred pieces of all kinds of treasures, three hundred mortal servants and slaves, and nine million and .9 million spiritual jade......
"There are also commonly used household goods, clothes, bedding, shoes and socks, happy bowls, happy cups, cakes, fruits, embroidered pillows, masks, ritual utensils, ......"
"Well, I see. โ
Li Wan sat on the Taishi chair, gently clasped the flying god ring on his fingers, thoughtful.
The Xiao family has a big business, and the dowry is undoubtedly much richer, not to mention other spiritual jade and household utensils, a manor, a courtyard, and three farms are all the roots that support him to build his family, and there are apprentices, miscellaneous servants, guards, slaves, etc., and he is now short of manpower.
But these are living people with mouths, hands and feet, and they are not like those utensils, just send them, and they will start to think about supporting their families in the future.
Shi Haoguang said again: "I have roughly calculated an account, 100 apprentices and miscellaneous servants, with an annual consumption of 150,000, 100 Qi Refining Realm guards, with an annual consumption of 240,000, 10 Foundation Realm guards, with an annual consumption of 300,000, 1,000 mortal servants and maids, with an annual consumption of 120,000, plus the 300 slaves on Miss Jingshu's side, with an annual consumption of nearly 36,000, a total of 846,000, this is only the most basic Yulu offering, if it is a New Year's Day reward, reward, reward, death, injury and illness compensation, it will cost more than one million. โ
"There are a total of five workshops to operate, each workshop consumes fifty to one million spirit jade per year, and it is also an annual expense of three or four million, fortunately, these workshops, only the Tongshan workshop is the most expensive, it is for the cultivation of Wu Ning and others, and the refiners employed by the other workshops are all veterans in the Heavenly Workshop, not only can bear their own expenses, but also have a slight surplus. โ
"But in addition to these, there are two ladies and many subordinates, and the children will be used in the future, elixir medicine, rouge gouache, and travel expenses...... It is also at least a few million per year. โ
"Got it!"
Li Wan involuntarily rubbed the corners of his forehead, and with his strong physique, he actually felt a little headache.
This is the difference between starting a family and starting a bachelor, now the last step of the six ceremonies has not yet arrived, and there is still a month before the official cave room flower candles, Li Wan feels the cumbersomeness of everything, and feels that there is a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Two large and small ladies, a population of thousands, and several industries...... Annoying!
Shi Haoguang said with a smile: "I haven't finished talking yet, and in recent years, the cost of touring all parties and recognizing relatives has been as high as more than 20 million, thanks to the dividends given by the various refining light Hongjia in the Tongshan Workshop, as well as the return gift subsidies given by the elders of all parties, so that most of them can be made up, but just like this, the current spirit jade on hand is about to run out, or the eldest lady learned of the situation and asked people to send part of the spirit jade in the dowry to come, so that they can hold up the scene." โ
Li Wan said helplessly: "I came from a poor family and cultivated freely, and I usually seem to be extravagant, but when I get to a big scene, I will show my cowardice and lose my ugliness, and it is normal to lack money, but the eldest lady really has nothing to say, she is considerate and meticulous enough." โ
Shi Haoguang smiled: "You can't call Miss anymore, Li Daoyou, you should change your words." โ
Li Wan was slightly stunned, and then remembered that it was indeed time to change her words.
The six rites have completed five steps, and now there is only a lack of greeting relatives and candles in the cave room, but the two sides are married, and marriage is the root, which can already be said to be a certainty.
"yes, it's time to change your name to Qingning. Li Wan sighed for a while, and asked Shi Haoguang again, "The dowry has been sent for more than a month, what does the Xiao family say?"
Shi Haoguang said: "Sixteen maps, three refining methods, the refiners sent by the Xiao family, all have been completely mastered, and the ability to refine the corresponding magic weapons and real weapons has increased a lot, it is said that they are very satisfied, otherwise, they would not give such a rich dowry." โ
Li Wan said: "It's good to be satisfied, what I'm afraid of is that they are not satisfied, and they will ask for debts as if they are chasing me." โ
Shi Haoguang said with a smile: "Li Daoyou, you can rest assured, the atlas, the method, these are the roots of the workshop, and the Xiao family will help you do enough for other scenes." โ
Li Wan nodded: "This is true, the family has a big business, and I don't care about the small profits in front of me, but I value the long-term more important." So, how about the Lin family?"
Shi Haoguang said: "On the Lin family's side, I have already opened the gift list first in accordance with the practice of other monks marrying, and I will return the 9.9 million spirit jade attached to the dowry within the year, and then paste more spirit jade. โ
Li Wan rubbed her forehead again: "These are all necessary expenses, sixty million is sixty million...... What did I say? I haven't even married a family, but I have one more big creditor. โ
Shi Haoguang was happy, and said with a smile: "Li Daoyou, you don't complain less, your Yanfu, I don't know how many others envy you." โ
Li Wan said helplessly: "I really should show them these gift lists and account books, and it is not so easy for Mei Jiaoniang to marry." โ
On the Lin family's side, although Shu'er and himself are in love, Lin Hong, as an elder, is an old man, and he attaches more importance to reality, and the dowry should be heavier in order to satisfy the other party. On the side of Tiangongfang, fortunately, he has the "Instrument Sect Canon", and has given a number of maps and refining methods, which are all things coveted by Master An and Wu Yezi, they got it without effort, and they also got married, and they were satisfied enough.
If you don't have these overt and covert wealth, even if you have already married, you will be blind at both ends.
Fortunately, the whole thing is not just troubles, Li Wan finally heard the good news, and the wedding date is set for the fifteenth of next month, and at that time, the two beautiful girls who are like flowers and jade will marry.
"I don't know what happened to Shu'er and Qingning now. โ
Shi Haoguang said with a smile: "What, Li Daoyou can't wait? But you are going to be disappointed, according to our Tiannan customs, before the ceremony, they can't meet you, they have to stay in the boudoir now, embroider the wedding dress by hand, and wait until the day of marriage, so that they can marry gracefully."

ps: What is followed by starting a family......? That's right, it's the establishment of the business, although this chapter is a little long-winded, but it can be said to be the most important. (I'm late when I come back from dinner, change it first, and then change it, if the problem is not big, I'm even lazy to run sรจ, and I go directly to the draft.) ๏ผ
