Chapter 9 Marriage is a big event (1)

In addition to receiving bigwigs from all sides and arranging staff, before Guan Taizhang officially took office, there is another major event that must be completed during the CD.

That is Guan Yi’s marriage.

There is only one male in the Guan family now. In this matter, the attention of the grandma, the old lady, the uncle, etc. is much more enthusiastic than the construction of the shogunate by Guan Yi.

Mrs. Huang: Now in CD City, the family background is worthy of our Guan family, and there are not many who happen to have a daughter of appropriate age. Everyone gathers their own connections and search for it carefully.

Mrs. Wu: The second daughter of former General Fei Yi, who is fifteen years old this year. She has not yet had a engagement. Should I have a talk?

Mrs. Huang: General Fei’s second daughter? Well, I remember that General Fei’s eldest daughter was betrothed to the prince, right?

Mrs. Wu: That’s right.

Mrs. Huang: Well, this can be found. I just don’t know if they can look down on our family. Okay, this is my personal choice. Liu, do you have any opinions?

Liu: At first, I thought about this Miss Fei. It turned out that I thought of going with my sister. If my mother asked if there were any other candidates, Qiao Zhou, the prince’s family, had a daughter, who was eighteen years old this year. She is also waiting to be named after her name.

Mrs. Huang: Qiao Yunnan has a noble character and knowledgeable personality. Unfortunately, she has always been dissatisfied with my descendants of Yuan Cong. Even if I wait to come to propose marriage, it will be difficult. Besides, I didn’t have a marriage contract at the age of eighteen. What’s going on?

Mrs. Liu: I heard that Miss Qiao’s knowledge is far above her three brothers. Therefore, she is arrogant and ordinary scholars look down on her.

Mrs. Huang: This is outrageous. I won’t consider this woman for the time being. Is there any other way?

Liu: Then there is only the granddaughter of the later general Zong Yuzong Deyan. This year, there is no engagement yet.

Mrs. Huang: Shan. Zong Deyan is from Jingzhou. She is also our own family. Both sides have similar family backgrounds. So let’s use this as the first choice.

When the three old ladies talked about these things, they did not avoid the slaves around them. So such news quickly reached Guan Yi's ears.

Guan Yi was helpless when she heard this news. As a history enthusiast, he knew very well that the children of high-ranking officials had many advantages compared to ordinary people. But there were also many sadness: for example, marriage is basically impossible to make decisions.

The former general Fei Yi was assassinated by Guo Dun, a surrendered general of Cao Wei three years ago. No matter how you look at this, there are all the gangsters of the Shu Han military. During Fei Yi's reign, he suppressed the military too ruthlessly. Anyway, the end of this matter was a confusing debt. Fortunately, Fei Yi betrothed his daughter to the crown prince Liu Xuan before his death, so although the descendants of the Fei family were not very good, everyone knows that the Fei family will have a queen in the future. Therefore, the Fei family is still more popular now.

There is no need to introduce the famous name of Qiao Zhou in the Crown Prince's family. As a time traveler who has only wanted to save his life so far, Guan Yi is not disgusted with Qiao Zhou. Qiao Zhou's daughter is a very arrogant academic master? If a time traveler with more than a thousand years of experience can't handle the academic master of this era. Then just buy a piece of tofu and kill him! So, it doesn't matter if it's a academic master.

As for Zong Yuzong Deyan, this man was the top diplomat in charge of diplomacy between Shu Han and Eastern Wu after Deng Zhi. He is now the commander of the Yong'an Corps, the third largest corps of Shu Han. He is currently guarding Badong County and is a neighbor of Fuling County, where he is about to take office. If he can meet with the Zong family, it will still be of great benefit to his future development.

However, these things are not something you can control. Leave them to fate.

He has a lot of things now, such as going to talk to the Mi family about business.

The ancestor of the Mi family is Mi Zhu, and the second generation head is Mi Wei. The current head is Mi Zhu's eldest grandson, Mi Zhao, Mi Boyao.

"Oh, Jun Hou came to the door in person, never to welcome him. I was negligent and negligent."

"I dare not, I'll bother Brother Boyao."

"Where is where Zifeng can come to my house, it is something that the Mi family has been looking forward to. It's not to bother me."

The relationship between the Guan family and the Mi family is very delicate.

In the early years, both families were revolutionary comrades-in-arms of Mr. Liu Bei. Later, Mi Zhu followed Liu Bei into Shu and became the general of Anhan. His salary and treatment were the first of all Liu Bei's subordinates. Mi Fang, who stayed in Jingzhou, also became the prefect of the richest Nanjun in Jingzhou. This was Liu Bei's reward for Mi Zhu's sponsorship of his revolutionary cause back then.

Later, Guan Yu made an attack on the northern expedition, and Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou. Mi Fang surrendered without fighting. This directly led to the collapse of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition Army. He was defeated and then captured and died. This is why the Mi family felt that they were very indebted to the Guan family for many years.

However, the Mi family's debt was not clearly reflected. For more than 30 years, the descendants of the Mi family have adhered to the ancestral teachings and looked at the Guan family silently. When the Guan family is in trouble, they must provide assistance.

Unfortunately, Liu Chan is a kind person and is very good to the Guan family. The Guan family is still very far away from the word embarrassment over the years. There is no need for the care of the Mi family. So the guilt of the Mi family has continued to this day.

Of course, Guan Yi is very clear about things like human feelings and guilt. As time goes by, it will become less and less. Mi Fang does something wrong, Mi Zhu, as the elder brother, will be very sad. But Mi Wei's feelings as a nephew are not so strong. As for nephew Mi Zhao, it will become even less. In business, if you want to maintain your relationship with the Mi family for a long time, you still need to come up with practical things.

"Yi is about to come out to know Fuling County. This county is extremely remote and has blocked roads. Only Wujiang River runs through the entire territory. Therefore, Yi believes that if you want to effectively control this county, you must have a fleet."

"Zifeng's purpose is clearly revealed. I wonder how many ships Zifeng needs to make the Fuling County government orders smooth?"

"Haha, if the government orders are just smooth, ten ships will be enough. But Yi means to form a merchant fleet specializing in Wujiang shipping routes."

"Well, Zifeng's words seem inappropriate. To be honest, the Mi family currently has 30 large ships with a total of more than 500 stones and 150 merchant ships with a total of more than 200 stones. It is also OK to allocate one-tenth of the ship to Zifeng to form a merchant fleet. But in the Fuling County, Mi Zhao is ignorant and has never heard of any large-scale specialty products produced?"

"Not now. But Yi will be there soon after he goes there."

“Oh~~~?”

"Yi came here today to make an appointment with Bo Yao for a year. Please ask Bo Yao to build more large ships within one year. Well, there are at least 50 large ships above 500 stones. After a year, Yi will be of great use. Moreover, it is guaranteed that Bo Yao's investment can double every year!"

"Oh?! Hahahahaha, Zifeng is so bold! I'll play with Zifeng!"

...

After Guan Yi left, the confidant beside Mi Zhao couldn't help asking: "Head of the family, do we really need to prepare a big ship for him?"

"certainly."

"Does the head of the family think that the prefect Guan is right?"

"Hahaha, it must be a vain. The first time a young man went to a foreign county, he didn't know that things were not that easy to handle. But who told us that our Mi family owed them the Guan family? This time we just thought it was just a little compensation. If we pass the order, my shipyard on the Minjiang River will add 50 new 500-stone ships this year."

"Here!"

On the other side.

"Master, I don't believe what you said when I look at the head of the Mi family."

"Hahahahaha, not only does he not believe it, but you also don't believe it?"

"Uh... the head of the family, since the head of the family determined to know Fuling County, I have gone to find many books at home for study. This Fuling County is indeed extremely poor. I really can't think of anything that can fill 50 large ships."

"Yes, yes. You don't believe it. Mi Boyao must be even less convinced."

"Will the Mi family?"

"Are you saying that you are wrong? This won't be the case. After all, the Mi family has been waiting for me to speak for a long time. But, Master, I will give you a big surprise at that time."

The master and servant were talking and laughing, rushing towards the house. A servant from the Guan family came towards him: "Master, the three old ladies, please go home immediately."

"Hmm? Master, have my marriage settled? Which lady is it?"
