I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 105 Left or Right?

It is a very fortunate thing for the children of big families to be able to make decisions about their own marriages. It would be even better if they could have a happy marriage.

Zhiyao's intention to marry Zhao Yang's daughter is very purposeful, but it is actually a choice among those who have no choice.

If she can marry the daughter of the monarch, it will be the best choice for Zhiyao.

However, Zhi's surname is Ji's surname. Even though the blood relationship with the Duke of Jin is very far away, the same surname still cannot be combined.

If Zhiyao can marry the monarch's daughter, the Zhi family will be able to stand in an advantageous position to cooperate closely with the public clan in the short term, and also get the blessing of "name" and "vessel".

Now Jin Junwu has the "name" and "vessel", but he has been resisted and weakened by the Qing family, so that the power cannot be asserted.

If Zhiyao could marry the daughter of Jin Junwu, one is the monarch and the other is the identity of "Yuan Rong". The combination of the two is equivalent to having a name and force, and it will definitely explode with a strong force. The rest of the family wants to resist , be careful to get a treasonous charge.

In addition, the child born between Zhiyao and the monarch's daughter will have the blood of the official family, and will naturally receive the support of the official family and some conservatives in the country, which will create a lot of convenience for Zhiyao to carry out the Jin Dynasty in the future.

It's a pity that the custom of not marrying with the same surname makes it impossible for Zhiyao to marry the daughter of the monarch. The most suitable Wei family is also the Ji surname, and the Han family that is chosen next is also the Ji surname. The marriage partner is Zhao Shi.

Of course, Zhiyao still has other options, such as talking to some princes about marrying their daughters. What is certain is that princes with different surnames will be very happy.

At the level of the Zhi family, if Zhiyao wants to marry the daughter of a prince, he can choose from Qin, Chu, Qi and Song, among which Song is definitely the country he is most willing to marry.

There is no complicated reason, it is purely seeing that Jin has regained its hegemony, and Song wants to get Jin's permission to annex Cao. Zhi's proposal of marriage will definitely make Song agree without hesitation. Come down, and Song Guo will also send an extremely generous dowry.

As for Qin State and Chu State, when they heard that Zhishi wanted to marry the daughter of their own monarch, it was inevitable that they would agree, but they would not be as eager as Song State.

Is Qi Guo likely to decline?One is that they have just finished holding the national funeral, and the other is that Qi Jinggong is suspected of being forced to death by Zhiyao.

"I have thought about becoming a son-in-law with the monarchs of Chu, Qin, Qi or Song, but I can see the benefits in the short term. In the long run, the potential risks are too great." Zhiyao really experienced After deep thought and familiarity, it's not that I want to marry Zhao Yang's daughter in a flash.

It was not uncommon for princes to intervene in the internal affairs of other countries through marriages during the Spring and Autumn Period.

In fact, Zhiyao had never even met Fenying, so she didn't know whether she was beautiful or ugly, or what her personality was like.

The reason why he knew about Fenying was that he had heard some rumors about Fenying's own fragrance by chance, and had heard Zhao Bolu mention such a sister by accident several times.

When there is no choice at all, the marriage between Zhi and Zhao will be very beneficial for the time being. Why can't Zhiyao choose a wife who has her own fragrance?

There is no need to say more about the things that have been confirmed, Zhi Shi confirmed that he will marry Zhao Shi's woman, and after the marriage is settled, all the troubles are left to Zhao Shi to worry about.

"Fortunately, it's the Spring and Autumn Period. Marrying a wife is for profit, not for loss." Zhiyao was listening to Zhibi and Zhishen chatting, and she relaxed and played a trick in her heart.

In the current era, there are betrothal gifts, but in noble marriages, the woman pays more. If she wants to marry her daughter out, she needs to accompany her with a dowry that meets her status. The man’s betrothal gift is just a "three-piece suit". nonexistent.

Zhiyao doesn't have an older sister, but she does have one younger sister.

just right?A sense of urgency has been urging Zhiyao to move forward quickly, and because of the current social status of women, the brothers and sisters meet less often.

"Why did Yao return to 'Xintian'?" Zhibi finally asked.

Zhishen also looked at Zhiyao curiously.

It is in Zhi's interest to train an elite team. Even though Zhibi and Zhishen have doubts about whether Zhiyao can train an elite team, the father and son still support 100%.

Zhiyao also directly spoke out about her mistakes in selecting the source of troops, especially needing to give a full explanation.

"Every family is one with me, does Yao worry too much?" Zhishen felt that those were nothing.

Just now Zhiyao mentioned that "scholars" and "disciples" are worried about losing their absolute autonomy, and they don't accept that the supplies are completely provided by the host.

Zhixuan and Zhishen are completely native spring and autumn people. Their thinking and three views are different from Zhiyao's. They really don't think there is anything wrong with "scholars" and "disciples" wanting to maintain a certain degree of autonomy.

This is like the Zhi family is a family of the state of Jin, and the master of the state of Jin is Jin Junwu, but it is impossible for the Zhi family to completely obey all orders of Jin Junwu and want to gain more autonomy.

"Scholar" and "disciple" cannot be regarded as the real aristocratic class, they are just the samurai class, wanting to make themselves a step further into the thinking of aristocrats, and wanting to grow their families, there is nothing wrong with people's three views today.

So, not only Zhishen has difficulty understanding why Zhiyao thinks "scholar" and "disciple" are inappropriate, but also Zhixuan who does not speak is also very confused.

Zhiyao said concisely: "I want to obey my orders."

In this way, Zhibi and Zhishen misunderstood again.

A nurse, right?

Nobility!Is it noble if you don't raise some dead soldiers?There is a similar group in Lao Zhi's family. As long as the head of the family gives an order, even if they are asked to commit suicide on the spot, they will do so.

Zhixuan and Zhishen glanced at each other, they both wondered what Zhiyao did to train so many dead men, and were further worried that it would be impossible for the rest of the family to know that Lao Zhi’s family trained three thousand dead men, it would be a big trouble .

"Yao..." Zhibi hesitated.

And Zhiyao could tell from the expressions of Zhibi and Zhishen that there was a misunderstanding, so she quickly explained.

What the hell is a dead man?It's okay for them to engage in guard work and assassination, and small-scale armed conflicts will be very powerful, but they will be taught by the army's military formation to cooperate with them.

Zhiyao didn't want to train dead soldiers... No, if according to that interpretation, that is, obeying orders, it seems that he is really a kind of dead soldiers?The difference is that assassin-type dead soldiers are one-time consumables, and obedient soldiers can be used repeatedly.

Because of the lack of vocabulary, Zhiyao struggled to explain again and again, and finally convinced Zhixuan and Zhishen that she was not going to train assassins.

"I've never heard of this kind of army..." Zhixuan's eyes were shining, and he thought for a while before continuing: "Always keep three thousand, eat, sleep and practice together. If you train properly, you must be an elite!"

you do not say!

In the Spring and Autumn Period, each family controlled military power in their own hands. Every nobleman could be regarded as a large or small military town stationed in a certain place. After receiving the call-up order, he would lead his troops to a certain place to meet up and form an army to fight for the country. armed.

Then, once the public clan is not strong enough, it will inevitably form a situation where the local feudal towns are too strong, but the central force is seriously insufficient.

In this environment, it is only natural that the monarch becomes more and more like a signboard, and Zhou Tianzi belongs to such a situation.

"As you said, there must be 'scholars' and 'disciples', and there are more 'envy'?" Zhi Bi is very glad that Zhiyao has no plans to completely abandon the two classes of 'scholars' and 'disciples', or one day It will definitely lead to catastrophe.

What do you mean?
That is to say, Zhiyao, who is a member of the vested interests, never thought of leading a class to play the game of "big turnaround", so he would not try his best to cultivate a new group that would overthrow him.

More realistically, as the "Xian" class, even literacy is a problem for them, and even fewer people have mastered certain skills, let alone a sufficient number of officers.

But Zhiyao didn't have that time, and it was even more impossible to pick people from the "Xian" group for training.

He wanted to build an elite army in a shorter time. How could there be a large number of ready-made officers, especially grassroots officers?
Of course, because the relationship between small partners has been cultivated very early, even if no external selection is made, Zhiyao will still not be short of officers, and the number seems to be sufficient.

"I need more than [-] people, and I'm going to 'Hukou' to gather." Seeing that Zhili and Zhishen maintained their support, Zhiyao simply asked for more people.

Zhixuan coughed for a while, then chuckled a few times, and said, "Everything Yao wants is not denied."

Zhishen was also smiling, but his expression was a little confused.

Because Zhiyao is not in "Xintian" to accompany Zhibi, Zhishen who stays in "Xintian" has become an escort.

Now Zhishen has only one responsibility to cook according to the recipe given by Zhiyao, and then take care of Zhibi's daily life.

There is nothing more natural than a son caring for a sick father.

It is only natural for Zhishen to do so, and he has not received good reviews from the outside world.

To put it bluntly, it is right to take care of her, but if she does not take care of her, she will definitely get a bad reputation.

If one day the younger generations gain a good reputation for taking care of the sick elders, it can only mean that there are really big problems in society.

Zhiyao, who hastily returned to "Xintian", will not leave immediately, and will probably go to the base in the mountains after a new batch of trainees are in place.

During this period of time in "Xintian", Zhiyao needs to wait for the final confirmation of the marriage, and usually takes care of Zhixuan with her father Zhishen, and when she gets a reply from Zhao, she needs to visit Zhao Yang, the prospective father-in-law, in person.

At that time, Zhishen will take Zhiyao to Zhao's mansion, and the two will exchange engagement tokens.

In that process, it is indispensable for Zhao Yang to show off the prestige of his future father-in-law, or to mention Zhiyao as a prospective father-in-law.

"Grandfather is relying entirely on his will to support himself, and his life is too painful..." Zhi Yao looked at Zhi Zhi who coughed from time to time, and sometimes coughed heart-piercingly, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Should I put down what I'm doing and stay at home with my grandfather?" Zhiyao's rationality told him to focus on development, but emotionally he believed that he should accompany Zhibi through the last journey of life.
