Chapter 27: The Decision of the Princes (6)

After everyone dispersed, Li Chengzhong specifically called Pei Ting over: "Prime Minister Pei, I have a private matter that I need the Prime Minister's help with."

Pei Ting hurriedly said: "Captain, what's the matter with you? It's okay to just say it."

Li Chengzhong said: "Well, I heard that the girls from Mrs. Wu's family are quite virtuous. Well... I would like to ask Prime Minister Pei to help me come to propose marriage. Li wants to accept a concubine."

Pei Ting smiled and said: "That's easy to say. Pei will come to visit the governor immediately."

Li Chengzhong raised his hand and said, "That's it, thank you very much."

Pei Ting just took two steps and turned around again: "Taifu Wu's family has three girls to be married. I wonder if the governor has any one he likes? Just now the governor said 'virtuous name', well, Taifu Wu has a young sister who has been He is only three years older than the governor, but his character is evident in the capital..."

Li Chengzhong almost fainted. If he didn't say this, he would have married the wrong woman. He said quickly: "The one Li heard about was a woman named Yunsu from the Wushi family."

Pei Ting suddenly realized: "I have heard that a certain person has a beautiful face and is considered to be the best in Beijing. He has rejected countless wealthy children. But don't worry, Governor, I will definitely succeed in this matter for the Governor."

I heard that the person who took the concubine was the governor of the Tang Dynasty, and the person who protected the media was the prime minister of the dynasty. Naturally, Wu Yindu would not refuse. Being able to establish a relationship with Li Chengzhong was the most eager expectation of the entire Bohai Kingdom. Hope, it’s just that Wu Yindu is a little regretful. It would be great if she could become the first wife.

Hearing that the Grand Tutor married a daughter, all the clans were jealous. Gao Mingxun counted several of his legitimate daughters one by one, and finally sighed helplessly - there were not many girls with outstanding looks in the Gao family of this generation, and they were sent to Governor Li. Only... It's just a matter of ridicule. The Gao family didn't, but other families did. They came to the door one after another and tried their best to recommend their girls to Li Chengzhong. Even the Da family was interested. The great feudal lord arranged an occasion to solemnly introduce his daughter to Li Chengzhong. Recommend to my little sister.

Li Chengzhong has inadvertently been arranged for many "blind dates" on various occasions these days, but his vision has been greatly improved by the Wushi girls. Although these daughters of powerful families are all beauties, they are not as beautiful as the Wushi girls. Compared with his mother, he was extremely bleak. Coupled with the various erotic games arranged in Changle Palace every night, Li Chengzhong had long dismissed ordinary so-called beauties. However, since Wu Yunsu had arranged to marry . He has not appeared these days, which makes Li Chengzhong a little regretful.

But he didn't waste it. After eating the meat himself, he naturally asked his brothers to follow him to eat the soup. The Yingzhou Army is a young group. They are so young that most of the senior officials have no wives. Although they don't like these beauties themselves, they They have all received an excellent education. They are not only dignified in appearance, but also well-educated. They are good candidates for their brothers.

Li Chengzhong told the great feudal lord his thoughts very straightforwardly, saying that he hoped to choose some wives and concubines for his brothers. Of course, Li Chengzhong was opposed to taking over the whole package. His idea was to choose among the high-ranking sects of the Bohai Kingdom. A group of girls to be married were brought back to Liucheng and handed over to their concubine Wan Zhi to control them. They learned medical skills, dance, etc., and let the officers seduce them by themselves. As long as the two were in love, Li Chengzhong tried his best to facilitate it.

It's okay to let rich women show up. Women in this era are far more open-minded than later generations. What's more, after these girls go to Liucheng, they will be personally controlled by the "Dudu's wife", so they won't suffer much. The key is that a large number of Bohai women are married together. The benefits to the Bohai Sea are self-evident to the generals of the Yingzhou Governor's Office. The great feudal lord immediately agreed and treated it as the most important domestic matter at present.

As a result, a large-scale "draft" began within the five capitals. After strict selection, hundreds of girls got this rare opportunity. They will first go to Liucheng and study under Wanzhi's control. In the next few years,

, through contact with the senior generals of the Yingzhou Army, he made an honest and private decision for life.

The scene of hundreds of cars leaving for Beijing was quite spectacular. From Li Chengzhong down, all the officers of the Yingzhou Army went to see them off. Everyone was greedy and drooling, which made Li Chengzhong laugh for a while.

"It's really... spectacular," Wang Yibo kept praising, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

"The Governor treats us well," Zhong Shao said. He stared at the penultimate sedan. He had already inquired beforehand that the girl in the sedan was the daughter of the Yang family. After taking one look at it, he could not forget it.

Wang Yibo has a rather vicious eye and has long been paying attention to several outstanding girls among them: "Well, the governor is indeed upright. Speaking of which, the daughters of the Yang family, the Ji family, and the Cui family are all very good...

…”

Zhong Shao suddenly said coldly: "You are not allowed to touch the Yang family's daughter, but you can do anything else."

Wang Yibo was stunned and said: "Why?"

Zhong Shao said calmly: "If you dare to touch the Yang family's daughter, go and make an appointment with the Green Glaze Madam later. Helong Mountain has a nice view, and the Green Glazed Madam has long wanted to enjoy it."

Wang Yibo was furious: "Well, you have a surname of Zhong. How dare you?" Then he said slumped: "Okay, as long as I don't move, you are not allowed to look for Green Glaze." He then asked curiously: "Green Glaze likes the scenery of Helong Mountain? Really?"

"Yes? Well, it's really good there... Hey, how do you know about Green Glaze..." Then he yelled: "Zhong Si, you dare to hook up with Green Glaze behind so-and-so's back, so-and-so will fight you." He grabbed Zhong Shao and was about to do it.

With his old fist, Zhong Shao turned around and ran away. In a blink of an eye, he hid in the crowd and disappeared. Wang Yibo was so angry that he said: "Zhong Si, come out for me. If you don't come out, I will tell you about eating human blood."

Shake it off and let's see how you seduce Yang's daughter."

General Yang Xuanen of the Qianniu Guard on the side felt a chill when he heard this: Who are these Tang soldiers? That Zhong Duyu actually eats human blood... It's bad, it seems that he is talking about a daughter of a certain family... If he cares, he will be in chaos

, stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yibo and asked: "Commander Wang, you just said, Zhong Doyu..."

Wang Yibo laughed strangely, which made Yang Xuanen's scalp tingle. He quickly thought of a way to find someone to rush over and tell his own daughter not to talk to anyone named Zhong.

In addition to solving personal problems for his large number of bachelors, Li Chengzhong also focused his energy on the spoils. This expedition to the Bohai Sea was so rewarding that he would wake up laughing 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 is short of people, this is a huge wealth. Now that the construction of Yingzhou is moving forward rapidly, manpower is needed everywhere.

People are needed for plowing fields, people are needed for workshops, people are needed for mines, people are needed for grazing, and people are needed everywhere. Of course, the most important thing is that these young and strong soldiers are excellent soldiers. Although they performed poorly in the war, they still need people.

This is just his performance in the Bohai Navy. Li Chengzhong is confident that if he trains sergeants according to his own training methods, his appearance will be completely new.

Of course, in order for these Bohai youths to live peacefully in Yingzhou, their worries must be solved. What are worries? Naturally, Li Chengzhong, a family member, proposed to Da Fengyi and Pei Ting that the families of these prisoners of war should also be taken to Bohai. This

The request moved the two of them a little. Tang Dynasty was indeed the king's master, and he was so benevolent even to the prisoners. The governor of Tang Dynasty actually considered the prisoners of war and wanted to help them reunite with their families.

The prisoners of war are the main labor force in the family. When they go to Yingzhou, the whole family has lost its backbone. Suddenly I heard that the Tang army was willing to let the families of the prisoners of war follow them. This news was undoubtedly extremely shocking. It immediately made tens of thousands of families cry with joy.

.

From the first batch of prisoners of war and their families setting off to the last batch arriving in Yingzhou, the entire migration process took more than two months, with a total of more than 93,000 people moved. The entire Ying Governor's Office was busy moving these Bohai people

Ding were placed in Liucheng, Yanjun and Jinxian, which greatly alleviated the shortcomings of Yingzhou's labor shortage. It provided a huge labor base for the construction of Yingzhou - in this era, labor refers to more than just young people.

Strong. Even the elderly, women, and sometimes young children are part of the labor force.

In addition to prisoners of war, there are also thousands of people from the Zhu family, Jin family, Cui family and other clans who are prisoners of war. These prisoners are different from ordinary prisoners of war. Most of them have relatively high cultural knowledge, and many of them are from various families.

The immigration of craftsmen trained by oneself is also a rare wealth for Yingzhou.

In addition to human beings, the second spoil of war obtained from the expedition to the Bohai Sea was undoubtedly much more realistic. This spoil of war was materials, which consisted of two parts. One was the military expenditure of the Tang Dynasty paid by the treasury, and the other was the confiscated property of the three families.

Master Wang was invited by the great feudal lord and Pei Ting, so this military expenditure would naturally go to the Bohai State treasury. Li Chengzhong did not discuss the specific details. These things were left to Cui He, one of the Eight Yu Hous of the Huaiyue Alliance.

Cui He finally fully demonstrated his talents. In the negotiations with senior officials of the Bohai Kingdom, he fully displayed his "lion's big mouth", "a penny must be compared", "crying the poor", "exaggerating and spending money",

Various techniques such as "stealing concepts" removed almost 30% of the Bohai treasury.

In the proficient use of these skills, he calculated a detailed account for Bohai officials: each soldier's recruitment fee, training fee, equipment fee, daily food consumption, monthly military salary expenditure, soldiers, armor, bows and arrows lost in combat, battle losses

Pensions and pensions for soldiers...

What? You don’t care about the training and recruitment of soldiers? How is it possible? Without these expenditures, how could the Tang Dynasty build such an army that is capable of recruiting and fighting? Its military strength that is capable of recruiting and fighting is closely related to these expenditures. Don’t believe our war.

Power? Do you want to try?

What? I heard that our Tang army suffered no losses? Don’t you want to pay for the pension? Please use your brain to think about it, how can we not die in the war? When we came out, we had an army of 5,000 and now it has been damaged by more than half. It’s a joke. How is it possible?

"Zero casualties", who did you listen to? How about we fight and see if you can achieve zero casualties?

What? Yingzhou’s workshop production this month is not under your control? Ask us how much we in Yingzhou paid for this Eastern Expedition. All the workshops in Liucheng and Yanjun are working hard just to make up for the consumption.

Isn’t the consumption high this time? Why don’t we open it up and try to see if the battle consumes a lot of money?

What? The Khitans cannot be counted among them? I tell you, you must be careful what you say. The Khitans are also members of the Huaiyue Yuhou Joint Headquarters, and they joined the headquarters before you. Why don't you go ask the Khitans yourself and see if they are the same?

I don’t agree to fight for you in vain.

...The above can only briefly describe the intensity of the dispute between the two parties, but no matter what, Bohai showed their sincerity and paid various materials with a total value of more than one million yuan, including gold, silver, copper coins, grain,

Cloths, ironware, cattle and sheep, precious medicinal herbs, etc., including of course their specialties: Buyeo deer, 囹□ Purchase Toshi Juda?br/>

The confiscated property of the three clans was also unexpectedly rich, with a total value of 800,000 yuan.

On the passage from Shangjing to Xijing, from Xijing to Liaocheng, from Liaocheng to Huaiyuan, and then to Yanjun and Liucheng, there is an endless stream of large vehicles, and herds of livestock crowd the road. This bustling scene continues

After more than a month, the entire passage quickly became lively. The previously deserted Liaocheng City actually began to have people moving in again.

Li Chengzhong had a clear understanding of why Daliao, founded by Abaoji twenty years later, suddenly became strong. When he patted Cui He heavily on the shoulder and kept praising him, Cui He sighed: "Captain, actually

Sachiko is a little angry."

Li Chengzhong said in surprise: "Why do you say that? Do you know what you did? You earned Yingzhou the income of the entire Lulong Festival for one and a half years, which is enough for the entire Lulong Thirteen Prefectures for one and a half years."

Cui He shook his head: "Captain, you don't know that there has been no major event in the two hundred years since the founding of the country. The wealth of the entire Bohai Sea is beyond our imagination..." Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
