Looking at the gifts given by his father, uncle and aunt, Yang Ehuang was very happy and thanked him one by one.

At this time, someone came forward and reported to him: "Lu Ziqian, Gao Xudao, Zhao Heran of Zhao personally passed by the mansion, and brought a generous gift to congratulate!"

Li Chongjiu nodded. Other officials from Youzhou gentry were Wang Junkuo, and Wang Ma and Han Dynasty greeted him.

However, as important figures of the Lu family of Fanyang, Lu Ziqian, Gao and Zhao families, Li Chongjiu must be received with Yang Ehuang.

At that moment, Lu Ziqian, Gao Xudao, and Zhao Heran walked into the tent and bowed to Li Chongjiu and Yang Ehuang and said, "Greetings to Mr. Shanggu, Your Highness, Princess."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "It's so brilliant that the three of you can pass by the mansion in person."

Lu Ziqian smiled reservedly, but Gao Xudao laughed happily: "The wedding of Mr. Shanggu and His Highness the Princess is an event that has not been seen in Youzhou in a century. Even if Gao is a villain, he would come to the mansion without invitation and ask for a wedding wine to enjoy the joy of this grand event."

Everyone in the tent was happy as soon as this was said.

As the head of Zhuo County, Gao Xudao, a general of Zhuo County, is not arrogant and is very easy to get along with officials in Youzhou, so he has a very good relationship with people. However, as the head of the Gao family in Zhuo County, it is rare to say that he can lower his figure.

Then the three families presented gift lists. When Li Chongjiu saw the gift list, he couldn't help but think that the gifts presented by these three families were too generous. The value for copper coins, cloth and gold was seven or eight thousand stagnant, which was equivalent to half of the last time Li Chongjiu had borrowed money to the gentry of Youzhou.

As for the remaining jade bi, Ruyi, jewelry and other gifts, their value is no less than that of the property just now.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but want to deduct the gift from him and Yang Ehuang and use it directly as funds. He gave Youzhou's current urgent finance a breath of breath. This kind of life is really hard to tighten the belt.

However, Li Chongjiu glanced at Lu Ziqian and thought that the Lu family could give such rich goods, which would not be given for free. Lu Ziqian is a good person. He must have been able to get up early without profit. He had already made plans in his heart. It must be Lu Chengqing who had already persuaded Lu Ziqian.

I think that after my marriage, the Lu family will come to the door to ask for a hiring and become a in-law with the King of Qi.

Just as Li Chongjiu and Yang Ehuang were talking to the three of them, they reported outside: "I report to Duke Shanggu, Madam, Li Quan, the head of the Li clan of Zhongshan. Come and visit with gifts."

Why was Li from Zhongshan visiting at this time? Li Chongjiu thought about the other party's purpose in his heart, and immediately said to Lu Gao and Zhao and the other two, "A distinguished guest is here, and he will lose his companion!"

Zhao Heran smiled and said, "Mr. Prince Consort, you're so busy today, so don't ask me to wait."

At that moment, Li Chongjiu nodded and came to the side hall with Yang Ehuang. When he arrived at the side hall, Li Chongjiu saw an old man wearing a long gown and a vicissitudes of life. The other party stood up as soon as he saw him and said respectfully: "Grandman Li Quan, pay homage to the prince consort. His Highness the Princess."

Although Li Chongjiu saw that although the other party was the head of the Li clan of Zhongshan, he did not have the style of Lu Gao looking for three people. Although the long gown was clean, he could also see traces of shampooing. He also called himself a grass-roots person. Obviously, he had no official position, and he was even more embarrassed when he saw himself.

Li Chongjiu took the other party's hands and presented the gift list. He said, "Class Li is polite."

The gift list reads ten sheep, thirty chickens, etc. When Li Chongjiu saw the other person's face, he looked embarrassed. He didn't need to guess that the situation in Zhongshan Li was not in a good state now.

Li Chongjiu said, "The clan leader can come from all the way, which shows his affection. I wonder how the clan members have been doing in the past few years?"

The patriarch Li Quan sighed and said, "I'm not to hide it from you. My Li family in Zhongshan is in Loufan, and Mayi was also a big clan. However, since the Liu Wuzhou separatist rule, he forced the civil servants to force the Turks to harm the countryside. The wheat that had just sown in the fields had just grown seedlings. The Turks slapped the war horses into the fields. If our tribe has criticized them, at the least they would eat a whip, and at the worst they would have to watch the horses eat the wheat seedlings."

"The clansmen have not been able to survive this year and have fled one after another. Now Taiyuan County is still stable around. Prince Concubine, you heard that they are the same clan of our Li family, so the clansmen all came to Taiyuan County to defend themselves and now they are settled in Jiaocheng. There are only a few thousand people and there is no food. Winter is coming soon, and I don't know how many people will be frozen to death by then."

As he said that, Li Quan's eyes were wet and tears were shedding in front of Li Chongjiu.

Yang Ehuang felt compassion and held Li Chongjiu's hand.

Li Chongjiu had asked Li Hu and his subordinates before whether he wanted to recognize the Li family in Zhongshan. Li Hu told himself that he and Li Chongjiu's grandfather had always been near Taiyuan County. Because he was ashamed of being a thief, he did not mention his origins to avoid humiliating his ancestors.

But in terms of region, the most likely one is the Li family in Zhongshan. Even in the past, Li Hu plundered vendors, all the owners who were surnamed Li were often favored. Therefore, if Li Hu wanted to recognize the clan, he should take the Li family in Zhongshan.

When Li Chongjiu asked Wen Yanbo and others, it was another statement. They felt that the Li family of Zhongshan was too low and was not worthy of Li Chongjiu's current status. At that time, the Li surname in the world must be called Zhao County and Longxi County. The Li family of Zhao County was higher than the Li family of Longxi County. Li Qi, the ancestor of the Li family of Zhongshan, and Li Mu, the ancestor of the Li family of Zhao County, were brothers. Therefore, if Li Chongjiu recognized the Li family of Zhao County, he would obviously have more appeal than the Li family of Zhongshan.

After weighing the pros and cons of Li Chongjiu, he finally decided to recognize the Li family in Zhongshan. The Li family in Zhaojun was not bad, but now with Li Mi surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and most of the children of the Li family in Zhaojun have already followed Li Tang.

What's more, the Li family of Zhao County held one of the five surnames and seven hopes, and always stood taller. Li Chongjiu went to recognize the clan at this time, but instead he was turned aside and looked down upon by people in the world.

In comparison, although the Li family in Zhongshan is not prominent now, it has been prosperous in the past and is quite prestigious in the territory of Zhaoyan. Li Chongjiu's foundation is in Hebei. If you want to take the initiative, you must rely on the power of fellow villagers and fellow clans.

In this regard, Li Yuan was good at leveraging the power of the clan today, while Dou Jiande, who had no background in aristocratic family, was good at leveraging the power of his fellow villagers. Cao Dan, Gao Yaxian, and Liu Heita, the generals of Dou Jiande's army, were all fellow villagers' children. For example, before Dou Jiande was in charge, his father passed away, and more than a thousand fellow villagers came to mourn him. Anyone who gave gifts would not receive any money.

On the contrary, if you do not remember the feelings of the same clan and fellow countrymen in the past, your character will be despised.

Now that the patriarch Li Quan is visiting him in person again, he has something to ask for him, and Li Chongjiu can take the opportunity to give him favors.

Li Chongjiu immediately patted the back of Yang Ehuang's hand and said, "Although Li is now the governor of a state and has achieved some success, but to trace the root cause, if it weren't for the Li family, how could he have seen it soon? Don't worry, I will settle the tribe members of Taiyuan County."

When Li Quan heard Li Chongjiu say this, he immediately said with gratitude: "Thank you, Princess, my Li family..."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "It's all people from the same sect. It's time to take care of each other. If you say anything grateful, you'll be separated."

"Yes, yes." Li Quan agreed repeatedly.

There was nothing to say in the house that night, and everyone feasted.

On that day, Li Chongjiu ordered to have fun with the people. Each household in Jixian gave a rice and a pound of meat. In the same month, whenever a person who got married in Zhuo County would be given a piece of cloth, a person who had children in the people would be given a sheep, and a woman who had children in the people would be given a geese. Under this, the number of people who got married suddenly increased. Li Chongjiu also encouraged the people to gather people and recover from the war as soon as possible.

In addition to benefiting Zhuo County, Youzhou was once again exempted from the eight counties, Huaihuang and Yuyi towns for one year. Although Youzhou's finances were not rich, Li Chongjiu still exempted the tax on the tax for two consecutive years. In this way, the burden on the people among the people was greatly reduced, and he had the opportunity to recuperate during this war.

Li Chongjiu was so generous, and it was also a good situation in the summer wheat and autumn crop harvest. As Wei Zheng said, after the chaos, it was easy to teach, but it was easier for hungry people to eat. Although there were locusts, droughts and other disasters in Youzhou this year, the harvest was not as good as the harvest, but compared with the war in Youzhou at the end of Daye, the fields of Youzhou were covered with weeds, and the desolate years were so much better.

What's more, the autumn grain will be imposed soon, and not only will the civil debts from last year be repaid, but it will be rich enough.

The officials of Youzhou were not only given a three-day leave, but each family also cut ten kilograms of meat. You should know that high school officials are still good, but for low-level officials, their lives are only better than those of the people. Their daily salary is enough for the whole family to eat. Now that there is meat, it is enough for the whole family to have a tooth sacrifice.

As for the soldiers who have been fighting in various places over the past year, Li Chongjiu would not treat them badly. During the wedding, each of them received two dou of millet and three dou of wheat. The grain was harvested at the end of last autumn, while the wheat was just harvested this year. And how happy it was to see the son who was out for the army and go home with thick grain and rice on the day he was going home.

With such kindness and virtue, the gentry and people of Zhuo County were grateful to Li Chongjiu.

When I was having a meal, I looked from the height of the city tower in Youzhou. Every household in each house lit a cooking smoke, and there was only a small amount of green smoke. In this era when people regard food as the most, this scene was a luxury for troubled times.

The next day it was already bright, and the yellow sunlight outside the window shone into the house through the window. This was another sunny day.

Yang Ehuang, who was already a bride, tied up a high bun and put a hairpin on it. Even if she did not apply makeup, she was still very beautiful. From then on, she was not Princess Changle or Yang Guang's daughter, but Li Chongjiu's wife.

Li Chongjiu and Yang Ehuang were newly married, and it was just a joyful thing, so they got up late. The two came to the hall and saw Shi Deyun already in the hall. The maid was holding Li Chongjiu's son Li Ying, while Pingping snuggled beside Shi Deyun and looked at Yang Ehuang.

When Shi Deyun saw Yang Ehuang, she did not get up, but just hugged Pingping.

When Yang Ehuang saw this, he walked over and took the initiative to greet him and said, "Sister Shide."
