Once one's status reaches a certain level, marriage becomes a science.
But for Li Chengzhi, this is only secondary.
Even if you are taking a concubine, you must be in love with each other, right?
Look at today's two wives and one concubine: Needless to say, Gao Wenjun, the two of them narrowly escaped death and went through many hardships before finally cultivating the right fruit.
Although the fight with Wei Yu was not as dramatic as the fight with Gao Wenjun, at least it was a matter of course.
Another example is Jingmo. Although it was brought together by his uncle Guo Cunxin and his father-in-law Zhang Jingzhi, they are also in love with each other. You love me and I love you.
But as of now, if Li Chengzhi takes a concubine again, such a good thing will never happen again. It is not a question of whether he can take a fancy to it or not, but whether it is willing or not, but it will inevitably be mixed with quite a few political factors.
So be careful...
While thinking about it, he heard a "bang" and someone came out of the delivery room. Li Chengzhi looked up and saw that it was Wei Yu.
Wei Yu is eighteen years old this year, and is no longer as obese as he was two years ago. Instead, he has bright eyes and white teeth, and is slim and graceful. Even compared with Gao Wenjun and Zhang Jingmo, he is not trying to make concessions.
Seeing her coming out, Li Song and other servants quickly saluted, but Li Chengzhi waved everyone away impatiently: "How is your sister?"
"Sister gave birth!"
Wei Yu grinned, "Mother and son are safe!"
Mother...son?
Li Song was stunned for a moment, and then a look of uncontrollable joy appeared on his face. He knelt down with a "pop" and said, "God bless you!"
On the contrary, Li Chengzhi was shocked: Do you want to be so exaggerated?
I was about to scold him, but just like putting dumplings into a pot, the sound of "puff, plop, plop" kept coming. Within a few seconds, a large group of people knelt down in the courtyard.
A bunch of bastards who have never knelt down when meeting me, but are so active now, it feels like the crown prince was born?
"Get out of here!"
Li Chengzhi scolded, kicked Li Song again, and then pulled Wei Yu aside: "How is your sister?"
No wonder Li Chengzhi is worried.
Since returning to Xihai last year, Gao Wenjun has been suffering from a heart problem. The reason is also very simple: not only are the Gao family members and subordinates extremely helpless to Gao Wenjun, but they are also in conflict with her husband's family.
For example, his uncle Gao Zhao assassinated Li Chengzhi three times. If Li Chengzhi had not been lucky, he would have died more than three times. Later, he even kidnapped his father-in-law to Xiazhou. He and the Li family had already had a deep hatred and sworn grievances.
.
Another example is my cousin Gao Ying, who listened to Greedy's words and pressed her step by step, finally causing her husband to uncover the case.
Gao Wenjun was by no means a heartless person, otherwise he would not have sacrificed his life for love. Therefore, he could never completely draw a clear line with the Gao family. But she didn't know that when her husband's family and her mother's family met at war, they would have to fight.
On the day of life and death, who should she advise?
What's more, like the Zhang family, although Jingmo is only a side wife, there are many talented people in the family who have become Li Chengzhi's right-hand man. Even if Gao Wenjun is open-minded, he cannot turn a blind eye and not consider the child in his belly.
In this way, if you think about it day by day and have doubts at night, you will be anxious and uneasy, so that you will not know the taste of food and cannot sleep at night, even an iron man will be forced to work as a human being.
Of course, Li Chengzhi knew that Gao Wenjun was suffering from prenatal depression. But besides spending more time with her, he could only ask Guo Yuzhi, Wei Yu, Zhang Jingmo, etc. to clear the way and comfort her.
It is absolutely impossible to let Gao Zhao go...
"Of course my sister cried with joy!"
Wei Yu blinked his big eyes and looked at Li Chengzhi cautiously, "Lang Jun, this is the eldest son of the Li family..."
This means that from now on, Gao Wenjun can rely on his mother as much as his son. He has the greatest support and support, and the fear and uneasiness in his heart will naturally be reduced.
"That's good!"
Li Chengzhi smiled and rubbed Wei Yu's head again, "Thank you for your hard work, Yu'er!"
"I'm not working hard!"
Wei Yu grabbed Li Chengzhi's hand, her face slightly red with embarrassment, her big eyes so bright, "Lang Jun, I am no longer a child..."
At first glance, it seemed that she didn’t want Li Chengzhi to treat her like a child, so she rubbed her head and played with her brain every now and then. But how could Li Chengzhi not understand the hidden meaning?
"Our little Yu'er has grown up too?"
Li Chengzhi was so moved that he smiled dotingly, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, don't worry!"
Huh, this is always the case!
Wei Yu wrinkled his nose and said again: "Mother asked me to come to you to say that for such a big event, you should celebrate with the people. If you are an official or a general, you should invite him to your house for a banquet. And like the people in Zhenyi City, they also
There should be a reward..."
"Well, what mother said is true!"
Li Chengzhi replied, and called Li Cong, "I will go to summon you immediately. First, take my name card to the Zhang Mansion to invite the Grand Duke, Zhang Sima, and then go to the South Courtyard to invite Wei Shaoqing and Cui Shangshu. Then all the ministries will be notified and all officials will be invited.
I'll go to the other courtyard at noon tomorrow...Well, the other courtyard is too small, how can we seat hundreds of people? That's all, please come to the town office..."
Li Cong took the order and left, and Wei Yu also returned to the inner courtyard.
Just as Li Shiliang and Li Song were both there, Li Chengzhi called him into the hall again and mentioned two sentences about rewards for the people in the city: "Immediately send someone to the copper factory to issue an order to make a new batch of money overnight, starting with a limit of 200,000."
, distribute them as soon as possible after they are made, and each household will be given one coin... Well, make it a little bigger and thicker, and don't make it less than three coins a piece..."
Give money?
This is a good idea: this money is different from the ordinary money circulating in the market, and it has great symbolic meaning. The people will definitely feel like they have found a treasure and cherish it. Naturally, it will not affect the price of the currency, and it is more effective than giving out grain and silk.
It means more.
Li Shiliang asked again: "What should we name it?"
Li Chengzhi pondered for a moment: "Today's New Year's Day is called "Yuan Qian"!"
"Okay... One yuan will make a new beginning, and everything will be renewed... I will do it immediately..."
Li Song praised him repeatedly and sent someone to deliver the order.
It happened that the banquet in the side courtyard was also prepared, and Li Zhang came to invite Li Chengzhi and Li Shiliang to the table.
They are all clansmen, and even servants. To put it bluntly, there is no outsider among the hundreds of people in the courtyard. Li Shiliang spoke with less scruples: "As the eldest son, he cannot remain unknown for a day. Chengzhi should have made plans early...
…”
Li Chengzhi sighed softly: "I should have asked my father to give me the name, but now I can only trouble my uncle..."
Unexpectedly, Li Shiliang shook his head like a wave: "Don't be joking... If you are an ordinary person, you can do it. But when it comes to my Li family, not to mention uncle, even your father cannot overstep his authority..."
Nowadays, the Li family is becoming more and more prosperous, competing in the Central Plains, and has the potential to dominate the world. It is all done by Li Chengzhi. So who in the family dares to match Li Chengzhi's fortune?
Even out of consideration of whether it would ruin the fate of the Li family, Li Shiliang would never agree to name his eldest son and grandson Li Shixian, who had been miserable for half his life.
Li Chengzhi pondered for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "That's it, let's call it 'Yuan', it will also be a good omen..."
Yuan, Li Yuan?
It turns out that Li Chengzhi had already thought about it. No wonder he ordered the copper factory to cast the "yuan" money overnight?
