Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1376 Before the Expedition II

In fact, there are many things in February.

The first is the marriage of the two daughters.

Shao Liu, the princess of Xinmi, came out and descended to Yuquan Zhuang Ao.

Shao Liu is the daughter of Zhang Quanyi and the Chu family, and Zhuang Ao is the youngest son of Zhuang Langshen, the leader of the Zhuanglang tribe. He has just taken over the position of his late father as the inspection envoy of Jiyuquan.

The population of this department is quite large, close to [-], and it can pull out [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. It is the largest force in the northwest of Yinshan and Hexi.

In order to marry back the princess, Zhuang Ao offered a thousand horses, five thousand camels, thirty thousand cattle, and 20 thousand sheep, which consumed a lot of his family property.But this kind of political marriage is beneficial to both the Zhuanglang tribe and the court, so it is imperative.

For Zhuang Ao's elder brothers, the court also helped him solve the problem: becoming an official in the court—in fact, it not only helped him solve his troubles, but also served as a check and balance.

Princess Shaoyan of Linqiong came out and descended to Duncheng Hunchanghe.

Shao Yan was the daughter of Zhu Quanzhong and Zhang Hui, and Hun Changhe was the son of Hun Shi, the patrol envoy of Kedun City.

Hunbu is relatively weak and has been plundered several times by Tatars. Now there are less than [-] people, and they can only pull out [-] cavalry.The meaning of the dowry is enough, Shao Shude is not short of such goods.But there is only one, Hun Changhe will inherit the position of inspector of Ketun City in the future.

Some people may ask, what if Hun Changhe died before succeeding to the throne, or died before he had any heirs after succeeding to the throne?Tang Ting's ready-made operation is there. The princess just needs to marry again. Anyway, it must be a tribe. It doesn't matter who is the patrol envoy. It doesn't matter how many people you have married.

The wedding of the fourth son of the emperor and Qi Wang Shao Guancheng was also completed in February.

There are more than [-] people in the tribe of Zangcai Wang.The three brothers Wang Chong, Wang He, and Wang Bei sent their sister to Beijing together, and presented a large sum of money, including more than [-] yuan in cattle, sheep and offal, which can be called the richest dowry since the Tang Dynasty. Marrying a daughter to a barbarian received even more money.

Shao Shude rewarded Sanquanbu with money, [-] pieces of silk, [-] pieces of gold and silver wares, as well as some tea and porcelain.

This wedding caused a sensation in the entire Beiping Mansion. Not only the common people gathered to watch, but even the officials and dignitaries who had not yet returned to various places also talked about it. It can be called a symbolic event.

There were rumors in Beijing that Qi Bizhang, who was recuperating at home due to illness, was furious and sent his eldest son back to the grassland of Rouzhou to count his own belongings, and he must not lose to Wang He, a junior.

Shao Shude was stunned to receive a high-priced dowry without paying a high-priced gift.

For this crooked trend of comparing each other, he just reprimanded a few words weakly, and then shut up.

Those who are interested take an inventory of the royal children, so they all focus on Jiangling Princess Shao Caiwei.

I heard that this is the most beloved daughter of the sage. She is 17 years old this year.As for the princess being arrogant and domineering, that's not a problem!Just think of raising a mother, what can I do?

After finishing his son's wedding, Shao Shude studied the "world situation" in Jiaotai Hall.Anyway, when Mr. Xie went in to report, he often saw the sage paralyzed on the buttocks of the Bodhisattva slave, reaching forward with his hands, kneading unconsciously, and gasping for breath.

She was a little worried, the opportunity for Khitan's victory should not be on these two women, right?

A Baoji had no ability to defeat the imperial army, so he sent his wife and sister-in-law a long way...to murder the saint!

Fortunately, the sage was "rescued" soon because Yue Liduo was pregnant.

So the sage really began to seriously study state affairs, and summoned the prime minister of Zhongshu, the six ministers, the general of the forbidden army, and even the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss the details of sending troops.

In addition, continue to seize the time to deal with domestic affairs.

The dedicating of land in Jingnan Town and the withdrawal of the feudal domain are in progress.

Zhu Shuzong, the privy envoy of Nanya, and Hu Zhen, the deputy envoy of the privy office, went south hand in hand to appease the people and recruit soldiers.

The Jing and Kui prefectures under the jurisdiction of Jingnan Township (now Jingzhou, Yichang, Enshi, Changde and the area in the east of Chongqing) were unified under Hubei Road.

Jingnan Jiedu envoy Zhao Kuangning attacked Jue Shouchun County Duke, enfeoffed [-] households, and served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment—this position was temporarily held by Yao. Build feats.

Kuang Ning's younger brother, Kuang Ming, didn't have many meritorious deeds, but for his elder brother's sake, he won the title of son of Huangpi County, and granted five hundred households.

It is very good for the Zhao brothers to have this kind of treatment.If it weren't for the fact that they took the initiative to surrender their land and set an example for the southern feudal vassals, it would be impossible to obtain these two titles.

Another thing, Du Rang Neng, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Shao Shude ordered Wang Pu, the servant of the Ministry of war, to take over his position, and he stopped working for a day.

Du Rangneng's family has made a lot of contributions to him.

Du Xiao and Du Guangyi, one in the center and the other in the local area, worked hard.

Mrs. Du is in the harem, and the etiquette of Qi Zhuang is graceful and cautious.

Most importantly, they have brought you a large number of capable local management talents at critical moments, and they have also helped you beautify a lot in terms of public opinion among the people-a good reputation naturally makes it easier to recruit talents and stabilize the place.

For Kansai to be so stable, Shao Shude's painstaking management for more than 20 years is certainly the most important factor, but Jingzhao Du's full support is also indispensable.

To be a man is to be conscientious, Shao Shude is still very sympathetic to others.

After all this is done, there is not much to do.

He began to cultivate his body and mind, and spent time with warriors.

******
"The attack on the Bohai Sea is only one of the goals of this dispatch of troops." Inside the Wangjing Huangzhuang, the Minister of the Internal Affairs Office Li Jingchen convened a meeting.

"The old man will accompany you, and most of you will also accompany you." Nori Jingchen continued: "The preparations that should be made in advance, the old man will first explain. If you don't understand, you can add."

"First, the Xu Department ordered that the shipyard in Penglai Town has already delivered the ship. You should quickly bring people to receive it and purchase all kinds of supplies. The 500 people from the Pinghai Navy will be under your command. You will set sail at the latest by mid-March Out of the port, four ships are still going north on the old road."

"Follow orders." Xu Xiong, former Vice Admiral of the Ping Navy and now the Order of the Shipping Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responded.

Four sea shark clippers have been built and will be received soon.According to the meaning of the government supervisor, just buying supplies and then heading north along the east coast of Koryo, this is still an expedition, not letting them go ashore to fight, which is very good.

Of course, it's nothing if you really want to fight.It's just that the Ping Navy is not a traditional warrior. They have not been established for many years. Except for some personnel of the Liang Jun Yellow River Navy, most of them are fishermen. Peace is the most important thing in everything, so why kill them?

Not to mention anything else, how much did you sell for more than one million catties of fishing last year?
The cheapest thing in Guochao is pork. In the northern capital, it only costs a few cents a catty, and it is often sold out.

Sea fish is currently promoted by (sage) people, and the price is at a very high position. It can reach more than 20 yuan a catty. Last year, it sold 7000 catties and sold them all. The total income is more than [-] yuan. Ping Haijun The soldiers shared half of the money each.

To be honest, everyone was very enthusiastic. They all said that they missed a lot of opportunities last year because they didn't have time to fish in order to transfer supplies. This year, they will strive to catch more than 200 million catties of fish.

It would be really nice if the saints stopped sending them military missions.They swarmed to catch as many fish as they could sell.

This is income other than military rewards, isn't it much better than fighting?Fishermen are born to love fishing.

"Secondly, Zhou Yuhou, you selected 500 youths with powerful guns and clubs from Shahai, Fuyuanchi, Muze, Bianzhou, Wudi, Dezhou, and Wangjing, Beiping, and distributed them with equipment to escort them northward. After arriving in Shenzhou, the food and grass were handed over to the military envoy's office, and then they performed and trained on the spot, waiting for orders."

"Of order." Yu Hou Si Yu Hou Zhou Zhiyu replied.

Yu Housi now has several Yu Hous, but there is no Du Yu Hou.The setting of the government supervisor is clearly to allow everyone to compete, and finally select a Du Yuhou.

So far, he appears to be in the lead.

Zhou Zhiyu thinks this is normal.In the three Huangzhuang villages in Bianzhou, the teenagers were almost crying because of his training, but various military skills have advanced by leaps and bounds, and their obedience is also very good.

Zhou Zhiyu felt that if he was given another five years, the strength of these teenagers would be comparable to that of state soldiers—the combat effectiveness would certainly not be comparable to that of the imperial army, because they would eventually farm and herd, not professional warriors.

He brought 500 people with the army this time, and he didn't know why.Shouldn't they be sent to fight, could it be to move goods?There is such a possibility.

He is not a very curious person, and he is too lazy to inquire.Since the governor ordered so, it is enough to carry out.

"Thirdly, the Li Department ordered that the Weaving Department select twenty craftsmen and fifty apprentices to accompany the army." Yeli Jingchen said again.

"Follow orders." Weaving order Li Zan replied.

Li Zan was the son of Li Zhong, a general of the Forbidden Army. He graduated from the Imperial Academy and was a Yin official. After working in the Taipu Temple for two years, he worked in the Shaofu for another year.

How many noble children like Li Zan are still in the House of Internal Affairs.The overall level is acceptable. After all, he has experienced a complete education since he was a child, and at the same time, he is still competent for the job when his mental outlook has not yet reached the stage of degeneration.

Li Zan actually knew something.

Taking craftsmen and apprentices there is just for the fur business.However, the Bohai Kingdom has not been conquered yet, has it already been sentenced to death?In case the army is unable to attack for a long time, it will be a disappointment if they have no choice but to teach?

But like his grandfather Li Yanling, he is not very proficient in battle formation. If the saint is so confident, he should not be wrong, just be prepared.

"Fourth, the Land and Land Administration..."

The meeting lasted all day.

After the meeting adjourned, Ye Li Jingchen had someone beat his back and rub his shoulders.

When you are old, your body can't bear it.

The old thing that didn't hide Qingxiang has been dead for several years.I used to think he was an eyesore, but I miss him more and more in recent years.

Conquering the Bohai Kingdom, the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually wanted to go to war, and all the elite soldiers were dispatched, and even he himself had to accompany him.What exactly is the saint trying to do?
Yes, even he doesn't know exactly what kind of medicine is sold in the sage's gourd.

The day before yesterday, I went to the palace to face the saint, and I met my daughter Ling Ji by the way.According to her daughter, the sage once spent the night with her and mentioned that he wanted to place a martial artist in the "Bohai Trading Company", but he didn't say much, and she didn't know what he meant.

Bohai Trading Company?Where did this come from?Yeli Jingchen pondered for two whole days, but he couldn't understand it.

Wufu is willing to work in a trading company?is it possible?Which business company can afford it?

If you can't figure it out, don't think too much, the answer will eventually be revealed, just wait and see.
