Chapter 27: The Decision of the Princes (6)
After everyone dispersed, Li Chengzhong Specialist called Pei Feng over and said, "Pei Daxiang, I have a private matter and I still need great help."
Pei Feng hurriedly said, "What's the matter with the governor, but it's okay."
Li Chengzhong said: "Well, I heard that the girl from Wu Taifu's family is quite famous. This... well... I want to ask Pei Daxiang to help him come to propose marriage. Li wants to take a concubine."
Pei Feng smiled and said, "This is easy to say. Pei immediately came to the door to show the governor's trip."
Li Chengzhong bowed: "That's it, thank you."
Pei Feng had just taken two steps and turned back: "The Wu Taifu family is waiting to marry a daughter. I wonder if the governor likes it? The governor just said 'demon name', well, the Wu Taifu has a young girl who has been in the boudoir, and she is only three years older than the governor, but her character is obvious in Shangjing..."
Li Chengzhong almost fainted. If he didn't say this, wouldn't he have married the wrong one? He hurriedly said, "What Li heard was the lady of Wu, named Yunsu."
Pei Feng suddenly realized: "I heard that he has a beautiful face and can be called the best in Beijing. I rejected countless wealthy families. But the governor is worried, and he is determined to be the governor Yucheng for this matter."
I heard that the concubine was the governor of the Tang Dynasty, and the mediator was the prime minister of the current dynasty. Wu Yindu naturally would not refuse and could establish a relationship with Li Chengzhong. This is the most eager expectation of the entire Bohai Kingdom. However, Wu Yindu had some regrets. It would be great if he could become a wife.
When the Grand Tutor married his daughter, all the families were jealous. Gao Mingxun thought about his own daughters one by one, and finally sighed helplessly - there were not many beautiful women in this generation who were sent to Governor Li. He could only make a joke. Gao did not, but the other families also came to him and tried his best to recommend his daughter to Li Chengzhong. Even the Daqiu family had an occasion to solemnly recommend his young sister to Li Chengzhong.
Li Chengzhong has been arranged to "blind dates" on various occasions inadvertently these days, but his vision has been greatly improved by the Wu girl. Although these daughters of the clan are all beauties, they are so dim that they are completely dim when compared with the Wu girl. In addition, the various colorful mini-games arranged in Changle Palace every night, Li Chengzhong has long been disdainful of the so-called beauty. However, since Wu Yunsu has arranged to be married, he has never appeared these days, which makes Li Chengzhong feel a little regretful.
However, he did not waste it. After eating meat, he naturally wanted his brothers to drink soup. Yingzhou Army was a young group. He was so young that most of the senior executives did not marry. Although these beauties themselves looked down upon, they all received excellent education. They were not only dignified in appearance, but also well-educated. They were good candidates for their brothers.
Li Chengzhong told Dafeng's thoughts very bluntly, saying that he hoped to select some wives and concubines for his brothers. Of course, Li Chengzhong was very opposed to taking over the big bags. His idea was to choose a group of daughters to marry among the high sects of the Bohai Kingdom, and then take them back to Liucheng and hand them over to his concubine Wanzhi to manage them. Learn medicine, learn dance, etc., and let the officers hook up on their own. As long as the two are in love, Li Chengzhong will try his best to promote it.
It’s nothing to let wealthy women show up. The openness of women in this era is far greater than that of later generations. Moreover, after these women went to Liucheng, they were managed by the "Governor's Wife" and would not suffer much. The key is that a large number of Bohai women collectively married the generals of the Yingzhou Governor's Office. The benefits to Bohai are naturally self-evident. The great feng people immediately agreed and treated them as the most important matter in the country.
Therefore, a large-scale "draft" began within the Five Capitals. After strict screening, a hundred female girls got this rare opportunity. They will first go to Liucheng and learn under Wanzhi's control. In the next few years, through contact with senior generals of Yingzhou Army, they will openly make a lifelong decision.
The scene of the Bai-Driving sedan leaving Shangjing collectively was quite spectacular. From Li Chengzhong below, all the officers of Yingzhou Army went to see him off. Everyone was jealous, and the look of drooling made Li Chengzhong laugh very much.
"It's really... spectacular." Wang Yibu kept admiring, his eyes almost popping out.
"The governor is not bad to us," said Zhong Shao. He stared at the second-to-last car sedan. He had already inquired before that the girl in the car sedan was the daughter of Yang. He could not forget it after taking a look.
Wang Yibo's eyes are quite vicious, and he has long paid attention to several of the outstanding female ladies: "Well, the governor is indeed righteous. Having said that, a certain view of the daughter of Yang, Ji, and Cui are all very good..."
Zhong Shao suddenly said coldly: "You are not allowed to move by the daughter of Yang, just do whatever you want."
Wang Yibo was stunned and said, "Why?"
Zhong Shao said lightly: "If you dare to touch Yang's daughter, go back and have a date. The scenery with Longshan is good. Green Glazed Lady has long wanted to go and enjoy it."
Wang Yibu was furious: "Okay, you, Zhong, dare," then he was depressed: "Okay, if you don't move, you are not allowed to look for green glaze." He said strangely: "Leng Glaze likes the scenery with Longshan? Really? Well, it's really good there... Huh, how do you know green glaze..." Then he cursed: "Zhong Si, you dare to hook up green glaze with someone on your back, and I'm going to fight with you." He grabbed Zhong Shao and was about to use his old fist. Zhong Shao turned around and ran away. In a blink of an eye, he hid in the crowd and disappeared. He only made Wang Yibu hate him: "Zhong Si, come out for me, and don't come out again. I'll shake off the blood of you that year. Let's see how you hook up with Yang's female lady."
Yang Xuanen, the general of Qianniu Guard, heard a chill: Who are these Tang soldiers? That Zhong Duyu actually ate human blood... It was broken, and it seemed to be talking about a relative daughter... He was confused when he was concerned, so he stepped forward to pull Wang Yibo and asked, "Commander Wang, you just said, Zhong Duyu..."
Wang Yibu laughed strangely, and Yang Xuanen's scalp was even more numb. He quickly wondered how to find someone to come over and tell his daughter. Don't talk to someone surnamed Zhong.
In addition to solving personal problems for a large number of bachelors under his command, Li Chengzhong also had to focus his energy on the spoils. This conquest of the Bohai Sea was a huge gain, so great that he would wake up laughing when he sleeps at night.
First of all, there are more than 27,000 prisoners of war. These prisoners of war are all young and strong. For Yingzhou, which lacks population, this is a huge wealth. Now Yingzhou construction is moving forward rapidly. It requires manpower, farming, workshops, mines, grazing, and people everywhere. Of course, the most important thing is that these young and strong are all excellent soldiers. Although they performed a little badly in the war, this is just a performance in the Bohai Army. Li Chengzhong is confident that he will train the soldiers according to his own training methods and his appearance will be completely renewed.
Of course, in order to make these young and strong Bohai live in Yingzhou with peace of mind, they must solve their worries. What is their worries? Naturally, Li Chengzhong, a family member, proposed to Dafeng and Pei Gui to bring the families of these prisoners of war to the Bohai. This request touched the two of them. The Tang Dynasty was indeed a king's army, and even treating prisoners was so kind and righteous. The Tang Dynasty governor actually considered the prisoners of war and wanted to help them reunite their families.
The prisoners of war were all the main laborers in their families. When they went to Yingzhou, the whole family would lose their backbone. Suddenly, they heard that the Tang army was willing to let the family members of the prisoners of war follow him. This news undoubtedly had a great shock. It immediately made tens of thousands of families cry with joy.
From the departure of the first batch of prisoners of war and their families to the last batch of arrival in Yingzhou, the entire migration process took more than two months, and a total of more than 93,000 people were migrated. The entire Yingzhou Changshi Mansion was busy running. The placement of these Bohai people in Liucheng, Yan County and Jin County greatly alleviated the disadvantages of the lack of labor in Yingzhou. It provided a huge labor base for the construction of Yingzhou. In this era, labor was not only young and strong. Even the elderly, women, and sometimes even young children were part of the labor force.
In addition to prisoners of war, there are thousands of people from the Zhu family, Jin family and Cui family who are prisoners of crime. These prisoners are different from ordinary prisoners of war. Most of them have relatively high cultural knowledge, and many of them are craftsmen trained by each family. The migration of these people is also a rare treasure for Yingzhou.
In addition to the population, the second spoil obtained from the conquest of the Bohai Sea was undoubtedly much more realistic. This spoil is materials, consisting of two parts: one is the military expenses of the Tang Dynasty paid by the national treasury, and the other is the confiscated San family wealth.
The king's army was invited by the great vocational family and Pei Tuan, so the military expenditure naturally had to be on the Bohai treasury. Li Chengzhong did not discuss the specific details, but all of them were discussed by Cui He, one of the eight victories of the Huaiyue coalition. Cui He finally fully demonstrated his talents. In the negotiations with senior officials of the Bohai Countries, he fully used various techniques such as "the lion's mouth open", "they were full of attention", "crying for poverty and poverty", "exaggerating and dissipating", and "stolen concepts", and almost moved 30% of the Bohai treasury.
In the skillful use of these skills, he calculated a detailed account for Bohai officials: the recruitment fee, training fee, equipment fee, daily meal expenses, monthly military pay expenses, soldiers, armor, bows and arrows that were lost during combat, and soldiers who were pensioned for the elderly due to damage to the war...
What? You don’t care about the training and recruitment of soldiers? How is it possible? Without these expenses, how could the Tang Dynasty form such a war-capable army? The military strength of its war-capable force is closely related to these expenses. Don’t believe in our combat power? Should you try it?
What? I heard that our Tang army has no loss? I don’t want to give a pension? Please use your brain to think about it. How can people not die in war? When we came out, there was a large army of 5,000, and now it has been lost more than half. The joke is that, how can there be "zero casualties"? Who did you hear? Otherwise, let’s fight and see if you can have zero casualties
What? You don’t have to take care of the workshop production in Yingzhou this month? Go and ask, how much price we have paid for this Eastern Expedition, all the workshops in Liucheng and Yan County are working hard to start construction, just to make up for the consumption. This time, we can try it out and see if you consume a lot of money in the war.
What? The Khitans cannot be counted as it? I told you that you must be careful when speaking, the Khitans are also members of the joint headquarters of the Huaiyou Guard, and they will join the headquarters first before you. Otherwise, you can ask the Khitans yourself to see if they agree to fight for you for nothing
…The above can only briefly describe the intensity of the debate between the two sides, but no matter what, Bohai still showed their sincerity and paid all kinds of materials worth more than one million yuan, including gold, silver, copper coins, grain, cloth, ironware, cattle and sheep, precious herbs, etc., of course, their specialties: Fuyu deer, Zhuotu Shiju?
The confiscated Sanshi wealth was not unexpectedly rich, with a total value of 800,000 yuan.
From Shangjing to Xijing, from Xijing to Liaocheng, from Liaocheng to Huaiyuan, and then to Yanjun and Liucheng, there were endless large trucks, and groups of livestock filled the road. This prosperous scene lasted for more than a month, making the entire passage lively. The empty Liaocheng in the past began to have moved in again.
Li Chengzhong had a glimmer of the reason why the Great Liao, established by Abaoji, suddenly became stronger twenty years later. When he patted Cui He on the shoulder and kept praising him, Cui He sighed: "Governor, in fact, Yukiko is a little angry."
Li Chengzhong said in surprise: "Why do you say that? Do you know what you did? You earned a year and a half of income for Yingzhou for one and a half years of Lulong's thirteen Prefectures."
Cui He shook his head: "Governor, you don't know that the country has not had a major event in two hundred years. The wealth of the entire Bohai Sea is not something we can imagine..." Please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
