The news that Ren Hui was about to marry a bride spread soon.
Lei Yuan also learned about this news, so he specially asked Xin Bin to send someone to inquire about Xin Yue's identity, background and personality. Xin Bin was in charge of the Lujiang Lei family for more than 20 years, and doing such a small thing is easy.
After asking, I found that this Xin girl not only took care of her younger brother alone, but also taught him to read and write... This is still a talented woman who is very knowledgeable about literature and writing. In today's world, this is too rare. After Xin Bin personally came out to confirm, he came back to see Lei Yuan and said that he was interested in accepting the Xin girl as his adopted daughter. In this case, the woman also had elders at the wedding, and Ren Hui looked better on the face.
Lei Yuan agreed very much about this and specially collected hundreds of coins of gold pearl treasures from the clan's treasures, preparing to be a betrothal gift for Ren Hui to give to the woman.
He himself mentioned on various occasions that Ren Hui would marry Mr. Xin's daughter, which is very good.
This attitude spread more quickly than before, so just two days later, several news came: Guo actually asked someone to ask Lei Yuan's close aide Zhou Hu to marry his sister; Deng Tong fell in love with a widowed woman in the Lei clan, and studied poetry and books hard for days, intending to like it; although He Song had been in trouble for a long time, he was not in control of women, and there were already many wives, concubines and beautiful maids in the family. In desperation, he found Han Zong, the leader of the Lei clan, who was qualified, to marry Han Zong's eldest son.
Ding Feng was ignorant at first, but later he was reminded by his subordinates. He rushed to Lei Yuan and reported that he only said that he had no intention of sleeping for a long night. He asked Lei Yuan to choose a daughter from the clan as his wife, but he must be beautiful, otherwise it would be unbearable.
In the blink of an eye, four of the five lieutenants who were promoted by Duke Xuande had already agreed to a marriage and looked like they were happy.
This action was really quick, and it quickly exceeded Lei Yuan's imagination. He placed the memorial of the four people asking for marriage in front of him, read it over and over again, and handed it over to Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan was summoned to the county government to report his duties yesterday. However, after arriving at Yidao, he accidentally found a good wine in the market, so he bought it for a lot of money. He drank it until he was drunk that day, so he had to come to see the prefect again today. Lei Yuan didn't know that this man actually had the bad habit of drinking like life, so he couldn't help but be surprised. However, Jiang Wan was an outstanding figure recorded in history books after all, and Lei Yuan was a little tolerant, so he was not very blamed and received it as usual today.
He asked Jiang Wan: "The generals and schoolmen under my command have survived for a long time and have been living in blood. Now they are finally a little comfortable now, and they will inevitably consider the reproduction of family blood. However, just a few days ago, they made them set up their own houses, so they urgently made an appointment to marry... Will this situation seem to have the intention of setting up their own barriers and cause misunderstandings from their lord?"
Jiang Wan's position at the moment was the head of the township, and it was not the aide of the prefect of Yidu. However, when he was transferred from the Zuo General's Mansion to the county magistrate of Lexiang, he had already been instructed by General Zuo to serve as a channel for communication between the two parties. At present, Lei Yuan asked him for it for granted, and he also showed his calmness to Xuande Gong.
Jiang Wan looked through four memorials one by one, pondered for a while, and replied: "The soldiers were tired from fighting for a long time and were still empty, so they were eager for their wife's family business. If Ming Gong insisted on stopping them, they would deliberately. If they were worried or had objections, they might as well inform the entire army. Any soldiers who had certain contributions or certain status but had no marriage could apply to Sima of each battalion, and the general's office would come forward to arrange a matchmaker so that they could get married as soon as possible. In this way, this series of marriages became the body of Ming Gong for his subordinates, and also showed the soldiers' determination to live and work in peace and contentment under the rule of Xuande Gong."
Lei Yuan thought about it and found that this idea was good.
He has been with the soldiers day and night for the past year, and is quite familiar with their family situation and personal thoughts. A rough estimate is that among the more than 3,000 soldiers in the army, there are at least 100 young people who are not married yet. If they spread to ordinary soldiers, they are afraid that more than 100 people. If they can arrange marriages for them and spread them, it will be the general's care for his subordinates. It is a beautiful talk.
He then thought that the disciples who came to Jingzhou with him had tens of thousands of people. Considering the losses caused by the difficulties along the way, the number of female surnames of appropriate age may not be large. If the marriages of these soldiers were completely arranged in the clan tribe, it would be impossible, and there would be fewer choices. It would be better...
He nodded, agreed with Jiang Wan's opinion, and said, "Pong Yan, I have another idea. Please refer to me."
"Ming Gong, please speak."
"It has only been a year since my Lujiang Lei family tribe came to Jingzhou. Although I have made plans to take root here for a long time, it is still a guest army in the eyes of the local residents of Jingzhou. I plan to select the outstanding soldiers in the division and ask them to marry the daughter of a good family in Yidu County, which will promote harmony between the two sides. What do you think?"
Jiang Wan thought for a while, and Lei Yuan immediately said: "This is not a political marriage. There is no need for the crown clan of the county or the big surname. As long as it is an ordinary family with girls of appropriate age at home."
In fact, Lei Yuan was able to propose that the General's Mansion would come forward to marry the women in the family to the people, which was a rare good policy in the world. Generally speaking, the army's behavior in this regard was very rough. Even if Duke Xuande was calling for kindness, it would be difficult for the troops to avoid looting the women of the people. For example, Zhang Fei, who was close to Duke Xuande, had his wife robbed him and was actually the niece of Xiahou Yuan, the general under Duke Cao.
Jiang Wan also knew that Lei Yuan punished and rewarded his subordinates with great punishment. He was not ruthless when he should be punished, and never stingy when he should be rewarded. Therefore, even the grassroots Du Boss in the division often had some wealth. According to the previously agreed system, soldiers can divide their families after getting married and get additional land gifts; if soldiers die in battle, the land can be inherited by the soldiers' wives and family members.
From this, it seems that if an ordinary family in Yidu County marry a daughter to the Lei family, even if they die as husbands, they will get at least dozens of acres of land, which is really not a loss.
Jiang Wan nodded slowly and said, "This is a great discussion."
Lei Yuan slapped the case with a "bang" and said, "That's it."
He got up and walked back and forth in the hall, looking at Jiang Wan: "Ahem... Gong Yan, do you know the local wedding customs?"
Jiang Wan suddenly felt something was wrong. To be honest, he actually knew more about Sang Yi, but at the moment, he suddenly became unsuitable for sing the opposite tune: "I understand a little bit."
"Then don't rush back to Le Township. Just stay in the county government for a while and get this done for me."
"……yes."
The next day, Jiang Wan temporarily set up a caucus in the prefect's mansion, and summoned several subordinates of General Fenwei to deal with the matter specifically.
After this conversation was spread, it certainly made the strong young men in the group feel excited, and it also made some local tribes who had women waiting to marry cheer up.
What Lei Yuan didn't expect was that they actually set their mind on Wang Yan.
Wang Yan was once a general of the Xuzhou Army, but later he fled to the mountain after a major change. When Lei Yuan was young, Wang Yan followed him. The two had a deep relationship with each other, and Lei Yuan called him "Super Yan" in daily life. On weekdays, Wang Yan always had the style of an elder in the clan tribe. Everyone habitually thought that he was in his sixties or even older. At this time, someone asked him to find out that he was only in his fifties. He had left his hometown for many years, and had no clans around him, nor had close relatives or children.
Thinking of his intimate relationship with the sect leader, he also owns a manor, and as a lieutenant... it is not a disadvantage to be older, but an advantage. For a time, several clans in Yidao City, and even several house branches in the Lei clan of Lujiang have launched suitable candidates, from half-old Xu Niang to young girls.
Wang Yanzhen didn't expect that such a thing would come to him, and he felt that he had no place to put his face. He hid in the military camp for several days and was unwilling to talk to the matchmaker.
Several media protectionists came to Lei Yuan again and asked him to order Wang Yan.
This situation made Lei Yuan feel a prank. He immediately took out General Fenwei's seal and took it to the matchmaker with a command.
Waiting to wait for Wang Yan's choice, an envoy came to Yidao from Jiangling City.
The messenger was Lei Yuan's acquaintance, Zhao Yun's subordinates who had fought with Ganning together, and Wang Hu, a native of Yuyang, Youzhou.
Wang Hu first took out a Xuande Gong's handwritten order, which was about the coming of the New Year. He asked the military and political officials of each county to go to Jiangling early. First, we discussed the next major policy strategy, and second, we also made the officials who had newly joined the Left General's Mansion familiar with each other, so that they could facilitate future coordination and cooperation.
After Lei Yuan finished writing a reply, Wang Hu said carelessly: "In addition, my general also asked General Lei to come to Jiangling as soon as possible. My girl's marriage must be arranged."
Lei Yuan suddenly wished he could fly to Jiangling. After all, he was still a young man who knew Mu Shaoai in this life.
He said to himself: Jiang Wan is right. After being exhausted from a long battle, he will inevitably be eager for his wife's family business.
