Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 365
Chapter 368

When Lu Na heard the news, he was even more excited than winning the 500 million grand prize.

Since the relatives of the domineering general and Wang Mang came out, when the later royal family chose the queen for the emperor, they somewhat avoided the powerful and noble families, and mostly chose the queen from the scholarly family.

Before Lu Na could react, Chu Suanzi said, "My lord, come and see my uncle (father-in-law) soon."

Sima Dan was not stupid, of course he knew that Chu Suanzi would marry Xu for no reason, although he didn't understand the truth behind it, but he still acted like a good baby, and said to Lu Na: "Peng Zi sees my uncle."

Lu Na couldn't close his mouth, and he refused again and again, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

Just like that, a turmoil made Chu Suanzi invisible.

Lu Na lost a new army of 30 armed with more than [-] gold, but he got a promise from Chu Lianzi that his daughter would directly enter the palace and become the queen, and he would be the head of the country.

How can a daughter's mother's beauty be bought with 30 gold?Otherwise, you spend 30 gold to try?

No matter how the account is calculated, he will not lose money.

Of course, in order to appease the anger of the nobles in the north, Chu Suanzi directly issued an edict as the empress dowager: "The youngest son of Wang Yi, Xian Xian, is extremely intelligent, and he entered the palace to serve as the emperor's servant.

Emperor Shidu, full name is Zhongshu Shidu Bachelor, is a small official from the sixth grade, but regardless of the official size, after all, he is regarded as the emperor's close minister, and he will have a good relationship with the emperor in the future, and he has a bright future.

Of course, Chu Suanzi had another intention to capture such a [-] army. Ran Ming obviously thought that it was to guard against Huan Wen.

As we all know, Huan Wen is a second minister who is unwilling to be subordinated to others, but Chu Suanzi is also worried that as Huan Wen's power grows, his ambitions will also grow.Now he may not rebel now, who knows if he will in the future?
Chu Suanzi did this to prepare for a rainy day.

The turmoil lasted until the end of March before it gradually subsided.

The gentry in the north and the south were either promoted, or made a lot of gains in local interests.Although the southern gentry lost a lot as a whole, the Lu family got a big advantage.

Moreover, this [-] army under the command of the King of Wuling has placed many children from Jiangdong.

With Chu Suanzi's head and Sima Xi's military accomplishments, these Jiangdong disciples did not have any military power at all, and they could only draw cakes to satisfy their hunger in the end.

But until the end of March in the tenth year of Yonghe, Wei Guo did not make any moves.

Chu Suanzi became more and more worried.

Sima Dan said: "Is the queen mother being overwhelmed? Now King Jiaodong will get married in less than a month. They must have suffered a secret loss, and there will be no means of revenge!"

Chu Suanzi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't be careless. There is a saying that a barking dog never bites, and a biting dog never barks. When have you ever seen Ran Ming take revenge on the enemy with great fanfare? The calmer the weather, the more It is necessary to pay close attention to it, and don't give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, we can't afford to lose!"

In fact, Chu Suanzi really guessed that Ran Ming is a person who must take revenge. He is not ignorant of the status of Jin Nu and Tie Nu in Ran Min's heart. If the two of them are not satisfied, Ran Min will also find him trouble.The most important thing is that Ran Ming is afraid of bloodshed between the Han people. He needs a war without gunpowder that can retaliate against Jin.

As Ran Ming's wedding was approaching, important figures from the Huaxia Business Alliance came to Jiankang to watch the ceremony with a large amount of belongings.

Among them, Chen Ying is the most generous. For Ran Ming's wedding, Chen Ying gave thousands of cars as gifts.Among them, there are 300 pieces of silk and satin each.In fact, Ran Ming didn't like these gifts either. What surprised Ran Ming the most was that he once revealed to Chen Ying that he liked golden nanmu.Chen Ying didn't say anything, and directly shipped more than [-] cars to Ran Ming.

However, Chen should keep a low profile.All these properties were scattered into Jiankang City and outside Jiankang City, and entered Ran Ming's warehouse without anyone noticing.

However, in terms of ostentation, Zhang Xun is the biggest.The [-] gift-giving vehicles were all decorated with red silk. Except for the coachman and servants, Zhang Xun brought a total of [-] sword-wielding guards this time.

The materials that need to be protected by two thousand guards are enough to show their value.At the Yanziji Ferry, Zhang Xun used a hundred ferries and tossed for a day before he could cross the Yangtze River with all his entourage and belongings.

Zhang Xun sent the batch of [-] ceremonial cars to Ran Ming's farm near Yanziji, and [-] guards settled down in the farm.Zhang Xun led a dozen accountants, four or five staff members, and dozens of guards into Jiankang City.It's not that Zhang Xun has never been to Jiankang, he also has a house in Jiankang, and there are also many shops.

However, Zhang Xun did not directly return to the mansion, nor did he directly hand over the greeting card to Ran's mansion, but entered the Wangyue Tower.In the middle of March, Wangyue Tower was closed to the public, claiming that it was packed up by distinguished guests.

Ran Ming was very angry because he was assassinated for no reason, and the matter of Jin Nu and Tie Nu.

Ran Ming decided to give a big gift to Chu Suanzi of the Jin Dynasty under the smoke screen of his big wedding.

Of course, this matter requires detailed preparation.In order to avoid leaking the secret prematurely, Ran Ming asked the merchants who came to stay in Wangyue Tower.Moon Tower is not only Ran Ming's secret property, but more importantly, it is the largest stronghold of Tianyan in Jiankang City.The people inside are all members of Sky Eye.In terms of preventing leaks and security, Ran Ming didn't need to worry at all.

Of course, there are many people living in it now.As soon as Zhang Xun entered the lobby of Wangyue Tower, dozens of people immediately surrounded him. Without exception, these people were all members of the Huaxia Business Alliance. These people came earlier than Zhang Xun, and some of them lived in Wangyue Tower for half an hour moon.

The appearance of Zhang Xun made everyone happy.

"See Uncle Zhang!"

Facing the compliments and flattery from everyone, Zhang Xun was very helpful.

At this time, people were surprised to find that there was a middle-aged man with a heroic spirit beside Zhang Xun. This man was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary temperament. He was definitely not Zhang Xun's follower.

Zhang Xun lightly greeted everyone, and then entered the luxurious suite on the third floor of Mochizuki.

The earl is the third rank among the five ranks of Duke, Marquis, Bo, Zi, and Nan in ancient China, although it is the third rank.Moreover, relatively speaking, the titles of the Wei State do not have as high a gold content as the titles of the Jin Dynasty.As far as Guang Wuxun is concerned, there are more than 4000 marquises in Ran Min's infantry battalion (more than [-] infantry who participated in the Battle of Liantai).Even when Han Gaozu Liu Bang founded the country, there were not so many marquises.

But even if Wei Guo's title is worthless, at least there is no one else who was promoted to earl as a merchant except Zhang Xun.Even scholars who look down on merchants, as long as they are not as high as Zhang Xun, they must respectfully salute when they see Zhang Xun, otherwise they will not be considered disrespectful.

Zhang Xun's title salary is really not that much, and that little salary is not even enough for Zhang Xun's expenses for an ordinary banquet.But Zhang Xun cherishes this title very much.

It was different in ancient times, as long as there is money, especially those local tyrants and nouveau riche, even if they drive a Rolls Royce and live in a mansion with hundreds of millions of dollars, no one will say anything, as long as the money is clean, at least they will not break the law.

But it was different in ancient times. As a merchant, not only did he have no political status, but he also had strict restrictions on food, clothing, housing, carriages and horses. , Light fines, severe family ransacking and extermination.But now, for Zhang Xun, these strict restrictions are no longer a shame and a restraint, but a kind of honor.

In the past, Zhang Xun had to be careful when he met those high-ranking and honest officials, fearing that a negligence would offend the nobleman.And bring disaster to the family.

Especially in the sixth year of Yonghe, Li Fu, the Mayi order of Zhao State, fell in love with Zhang Xun's 12-year-old daughter and forcibly accepted her as a concubine.As Zhang Xun, he can be regarded as a rich family in Mayi, but unfortunately he is only a merchant. Under the majesty of Yi Miemen County Magistrate, Zhang Xun did not dare to resist.

Suppressing sad tears, he gave his eldest daughter who was only 12 years old to an old man who was 20 years older than him and was over half a century old as a concubine.The eldest daughter must be young, who knows that she died without interest in just two years.

But since he got the title of earl, his status has improved.The eldest son entered Yecheng Guozijian to study, and was rated as a sixth-rank family member last year.The sixth-rank family background is regarded as the lower-middle-rank family background among the gentry, but in Zhang Xun's eyes, if it was in the past, Zhang Xun would not dare to expect extravagance.

At the beginning of the year, Xue Tao, the Patriarch of the Xue Clan in Hedong, asked someone to marry Zhang Xun.Xue Tao's second daughter wanted to marry Zhang Xun's eldest son.Although the Xue family in Hedong is not as powerful as the Wei and Liu families in Hedong, it is at least a powerful gentry.

In the original history, the Xue family of Hedong was Ren Shihu, Fu Jian, and then Liu Yu.Xue's ancestors and grandchildren of three generations, Tao, Qiang, and Bian respectively served as Zhendong General, Jianwei General and Pingxi General. Liu Yu once bestowed Xue Bian as Marquis of Fenyin and Governor of Yongzhou.

At this time, the Xue clan of Hedong had just moved from Bashu to Hedong, and the power had not yet formed.As a powerful force in Hedong, he will not be tolerated by the local big clan in his official career.In order to find a way out, the Xue family in Hedong took another path, that is, the way of martial arts.

Of course, in terms of family background, the Xue family is much better than the Zhang family.Of course, this marriage may not be simple.

If Ran Ming hadn't appeared, the Xue clan in Hedong would have voted for Yao Yizhong first, and then Fu Jian, and eventually became a powerful and powerful clan who had flourished for a while.

However, with the appearance of Ran Ming, history has been changed beyond recognition. Yao Yizhong, a Qiang who originally surrendered to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, switched to the Xiliang Kingdom after the defeat of the former Qin Dynasty.

However, the Xue family had no chance to show their talents in Yao Yizhong's period, and was finally used by Fu Jian.They wanted to surrender to Wei State, but the military power of Wei State was basically controlled by Ran Min and Ran Ming and his son, and the other generals did not form a de facto feudal town at all.

Wanting to surrender to Ran Min, Xue Tao was very helpless. Under the blow of Ran Min's iron fist, Wei Guo was now at peace. As a military general, Taiping was actually the last thing they wanted to see.
