Capital Datang

"What's the matter?" Li Zhen asked casually, his mind was full of thoughts about how to ask for money from his uncle, and he had no time to think about the meaning of Concubine Yan's words.

Concubine Yan said angrily when she saw it: "What else can it be? Naturally, it is your marriage. I don't know what you think. So many noble girls don't want to marry, but they insist on getting engaged to the down-and-out Duke Ying's daughter. But this matter has passed, so I won't talk about it anymore, but before you leave, you must arrange the marriage for me!"

Li Zhen was also taken aback when he heard this, obviously he didn't adapt to Concubine Yan's jumping thinking, but he also quickly realized, his face was a little blushing and said: "Of course there is no problem in getting married. Meiniang and Meiniang are not young anymore, and according to the rules, before leaving Chang'an, Erchen also needs to get married."

Two years ago, Li Zhen reached the age of engagement. At that time, many famous families were willing to marry Li Zhen. After all, among other things, the Yan family behind Li Zhen was a big help.However, Li Zhen chose Wu Meiniang's younger sister, the little Meiniang who grew up with him. They can be said to be childhood sweethearts, and they already had feelings for each other. In addition, Li Zhen also knew that Wu Meiniang was not dead. Not only is he one of the sixth brother Li Yin's servants, but he is also his right-hand man, in charge of the intelligence system of Prince Qi's Mansion.Therefore, Li Zhen will choose Wu Mei Niang whether it is emotionally or utilitarianly.

After returning from Concubine Yan, Li Zhen did not go back to her Yue Palace, but first went to the residence where Wu Meiniang and Mrs. Yang lived. Under the pressure of Li Yin and Li Zhen a few years ago, the Wu brothers not only Ying Guogong's mansion in Chang'an was handed over to Yang's mother and daughter, and half of the property of the Guogong mansion was also divided.All are handed over to Yang's mother and daughter for management.It is precisely because of this that Wu Meiniang has already moved out of the Yue Palace.Now Li Zhen needs to walk a few more steps if she wants to see the other party.Capital Datang 493

Duke Ying's mansion is now in the hands of the Yang family.However, Mrs. Yang is a believer with a relatively flat temperament, so she doesn't care much about the management of the Duke's Mansion. As a result, when Meiniang was twelve or thirteen years old, she had already started to manage the Duke's Mansion on behalf of her mother, and gradually Taking over the power of the mansion, coupled with the help of Li Min and Wu Meiniang both openly and secretly, Duke Ying's mansion is now very prosperous, with a large number of shops and factories under its name.Li Zhen also strongly supports this. After all, he also knows that all this belongs to Meiniang now, and when Meiniang marries him, all these properties will be his.

The sixteen-year-old Wu Meiniang was also very happy when she heard Li Zhen's visit, she put down what she was doing and ran out. Since the engagement, Meiniang and Li Zhen can be together justifiably.Sometimes they also do business and attend some noble banquets together, which also makes the relationship between the two deeper, so they meet very casually.

When Li Zhen, who was drinking tea, saw Wu Meiniang running towards her out of breath, she felt very distressed.He hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said, "Why are you running in such a hurry, I won't run away again."

"I... Do I want to see you sooner!" The petite Meiniang said shyly. The 16-year-old Mei Niang is different from her two older sisters in that she is relatively petite.And oval face, big eyes, looks like a very cute girl.Some people say that a beautiful girl is not necessarily cute.But a cute girl must be beautiful, this sentence is very suitable for Mei Niang.

Hear Mei Niang's words.Li Zhen also couldn't help feeling a little guilty, he had been busy building an army during this time, so naturally he didn't have time to visit Meiniang, no wonder she was so happy after he came today.

However, Li Zhen quickly recovered, took Meiniang's hand and asked her to sit down beside her, and then told the story of Concubine Yan asking the two of them to get married as soon as possible. As a result, Meiniang was both ashamed and happy , the eyes looking at Li Zhen are also full of sweetness.Speaking of which, Meiniang provoked half of Duke Ying's mansion by herself, and she would be regarded as a strong woman in future generations, but she has a deep affection for Li Zhen, and she can even be said to be obedient. They all have the meaning of a little woman, which is why Li Zhen likes Meiniang so much.

As Li Zhen is the king of Yue, his marriage must not be sloppy, at least it will take several months to prepare, so Li Zhen did not stay in Chang'an to wait for the marriage, but went to the newly occupied area with Li Yun. The Anbei Protectorate Mansion used food as a bait, and Luoyun and other tribes had set an example before, so it quickly recruited a group of small tribes who were desperate in the war and famine, and there were nearly 20 people in total.

Under Li Yun's arrangement and Li Yun's assistance, these grassland people began to slowly move overseas.As for Li Zhen, he rushed back to Chang'an and held a grand wedding ceremony with Wu Meiniang, but it was a pity that Li Yin couldn't come back to attend at all, and Wu Meiniang couldn't reveal her identity, so she couldn't come either. This made Taiwan's Wu Meiniang very disappointed.

Li Zhen, who got married, did not rest for a long time, but began to devote herself to intense preparations on the third day. He sold out all the properties of his Yuewang Mansion to raise money. In addition, Wu Meiniang also showed The true "character" of a good wife is very courageous to sell the property of Ying Guogong's mansion, and then hand over all the property to her husband to show her support for Li Zhen.

And the story of Li Zhen and Li Yun had already spread in Chang'an City, and they were all a little shocked by Wu Meiniang's move. After all, no one thought that the third lady of Ying Guogong would be so decisive?In addition, those newspapers also reported on this matter, almost all of which were overwhelmingly positive. Many people even believed that Wu Meiniang could be a model of a good wife.As a result, Wu Meiniang's reputation soared for a while, and many men even shook their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for themselves because they couldn't find a good wife like Wu Meiniang.

It is also worth mentioning that Li Zhen's mother family, the Yan family, also began to raise supplies everywhere, supporting Li Zhen's actions with great fanfare. Compared with the financial resources of Li Zhen and Li Yun, the Yan family is the real rich man, don't look at it Li Zhen and Li Yun sold all their properties, but the materials they raised were less than one-third of all the materials, and the remaining two-thirds were almost all provided by the Yan family. Everyone has seen it, what is a real rich person?

But in comparison, the one who really helped Li Zhen and Li Yun the most was not the Yan family, but Li Yun who was far away in Taiwan.

From the very beginning, Li Yin helped Li Zhen and Li Yun point out the direction of development, and also collected information on various aspects of Tianzhu for them, so that when they were in Chang'an, they already knew where they were going. a comprehensive understanding.

In addition, all the prairie people recruited by Li Zhen and Li Yun were transported overseas with the help of Li Yin, and at the beginning, these prairie people must not be transported to Tianzhu all at once, there must be a temporary station, and this station It was also provided by Li Yin. It is located in Linyi, a grain-producing area, and it is not a problem to feed 20 grassland people.

After Li Zhen and Li Yun finished raising all the supplies, they left Chang'an with their confidantes they had recruited some time ago, plus two thousand guards from the two palaces, and their families. , Then board a boat in Zhengzhou, go east along the Yellow River, and walk on the road that Li Yin walked.

However, Li Zhen and Li Yun were not in a hurry, and even after they arrived in Dengzhou, they started to stop and go. They got on the train in Dengzhou and traveled around the whole city of Dengzhou, allowing everyone to appreciate the prosperity of Dengzhou.

In addition, they went to Sibi to visit the South Korean state where only Han people are allowed to live. They also went to the Wa country to see the battlefield where muskets and artillery entered actual combat for the first time. When they arrived in Shanghai, which was already extremely prosperous, they gave everyone They all brought incomparable shock. After all, no one could imagine that this city was just a barren beach a few years ago.

Regarding the changes in Shanghai, Li Zhen and Li Yun were the most shocked, because they had seen the desolation here with their own eyes, so when they saw the prosperity in front of them, they had the illusion that they were in a dream. When they arrived at Li Ke, they woke up from the shock.

Li Ke also knew the purpose of Li Zhen and Li Yun's trip, and also knew the ambitions of these two younger brothers. Not only did he support them very much, but he even admired them faintly. Everything in Datang followed the same path as Li Yin.Capital Datang 493

However, Li Ke feels that it is not too late, and he is not very old. After Shanghai gets on the right track, with the help of the huge benefits generated by this new city, maybe he and his three younger brothers can also go forward. The road to external expansion.

In addition, Li Zhen and Li Yun also met their eldest brother Li Chengqian in Shanghai. Although they heard that his eldest brother was willing to be a small official in Shanghai, they couldn't believe it until they saw Li Chengqian wearing a lusè official robe. Let them completely believe that this is actually true.

However, although Li Chengqian was no longer the prince, he was still their elder brother after all, so the four brothers got together very lively, and at night at Li Chengqian's mansion, they were also very drunk.

Li Zhen and Li Yun lived in Shanghai for three days. After the subordinates finished their tour of Shanghai, Li Zhen told all the subordinates that they would establish a huge overseas kingdom, and their capital would also be It is a city more prosperous than Shanghai City.Although this is just a grand blueprint, it really arouses everyone's morale.

After leaving Shanghai, the fleet of Li Zhen and Li Yun went south again, this time the destination was directly at Keelung, Taiwan, where Li Yun was already waiting for the two younger brothers.It is also worth mentioning that Wu Meiniang and her mother Yang Shi also came with Li Zhen, but they still don't know that Wu Meiniang has long been waiting for them in Keelung.
