Chapter 449: Ji Meng's Selling Daughters

More than twenty years ago, Duke Meng was considered to be one of the most promising people in the entire Daheng Empire, even in the entire Daheng Empire.

And within Nanhai Prefecture, that is even more expected.

After Duke Meng died on the battlefield, countless people sighed, especially many ordinary people in Nanhai Prefecture regretted it.

Why? Because they miss the stable life when Duke Meng was in charge of Nanhai Prefecture.

Since the death of Duke Meng, Nanhai Prefecture has fallen into civil strife, and many feudal towns have been fighting for three days, among which Luohai County has changed more than ten county guards.

The hardships of the people's livelihood caused by the war made the people nostalgic for the era of Duke Meng.

Therefore, Duke Meng's prestige was high enough during his lifetime, and after his death, his prestige did not decrease but increased, but became higher.

Therefore, now in the entire Daheng Empire, people in other states may have forgotten what Duke Meng is, but the people of Nanhai Prefecture have not forgotten, not only have they forgotten, but they have become more and more respectful.

Therefore, in Nanhai Prefecture, the three words Duke Meng have a special meaning.

Now that Cheng Hongbin has come to the matchmaking on behalf of the court, and the object is still the granddaughter of Duke Meng, Lin Ziran has to be treated cautiously.

At the same time, Cheng Hongbin also looked at Lin Ziran's face changes!

Cheng Hongbin came to Luohai City this time, not on a whim, nor simply because he was entrusted by the Duke Meng's family, but because he wanted to come to Lin Ziran, which was just a suitable reason for him to find himself.

Since Cheng Lingfeng was defeated that year and was seized by Jian Minggang as the county guard of Luo'an County, Cheng Lingfeng could only flee all the way with a small number of remnants of the defeated generals, first hiding in the mountains in the southeast of Luo'an County to survive, originally thought that he could make a comeback, but he didn't expect that the situation in Luo'an County had changed too much, and soon Lin Ziran swept through Luo'an County and eliminated other feudal towns to completely unify Luo'an County.

At that time, Cheng Lingfeng had no intention or ability to resist, and before the arrival of the Southern Navy, he fled east with the remnants of the army again, but this time Cheng Lingfeng and the people who fled together, there were only a few hundred people left.

Later, they operated on the borders of Nyingmay and Anlong counties, trying to accumulate strength once again.

However, soon Lin Ziran went south to Luohai, then north to Guang'an, and finally east to Anlong County and Hetai County.

This spring, Cheng Lingfeng finally died of depression.

As soon as Cheng Lingfeng died, the remaining hundreds of people dispersed on the spot......

Although Cheng Hongbin is unwilling, he has no choice but to leave, and he wants to live a boring life under a pseudonym.

The contemporary Duke of Ji Mengshi found him, which made him see hope, he didn't expect to make a comeback, but he had to continue to mix in the high-level, he was not willing to be an ordinary person.

The person who came to him was the contemporary Duke Meng Dongliang to be precise!

More than 1,000 years ago, the ancestors of the people were awarded the title of viscount, and the country was given 'Meng', and the people took the country name as their surname.

As for the position of this duke, it was awarded by the ancestors after the establishment of the kingdom of Daheng.

The previous generation of Duke Meng Wenyong died on the battlefield that year, and the situation of the prominent Mengshi clan was naturally not much better, the feudal towns of Nanhai Prefecture, no matter what these Montessori descendants, although they remembered the old feelings of the eleventh generation of Duke Meng and the special status of Duke Meng in Nanhai Prefecture, they would not embarrass them, but don't expect to be good to them, basically keep good food and drink, but don't expect to be able to mix well.

In the early years, people were still afraid that the twelfth Duke Meng would run out and seize power, and the previous county guards of Luohai County took house arrest measures against Montessori.

Later, with the passage of time, Montessori regained its freedom, but the current Montessori is far from its former glory.

I think that back then, the Montessori relied on Duke Meng Wenyong, which was the top aristocratic family in the world, and now, except for the name of Duke Meng, there is nothing left.

In the early years, in fact, the county guard of Luohai County at that time did not say that the entire Montessori family was copied, but just borrowed various names and requisitioned the industrial and commercial industries controlled by the Montessori family, which was also the old routine of the feudal towns, after the defeat of Shao Bingbing, the industries controlled by the Shao family were also confiscated by the government under the control of Lin Ziran, and then included in the jurisdiction of the government.

Because these are all important industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood, no feudal town will let private people interfere.

After losing many industries, Montessori also lost its main source of income, plus the successive generations of Luohai County guards, they can't forget to find Montessori to fight a dozen autumn winds, and Montessori is a nobleman for two thousand years, and all kinds of aristocratic scenes cannot be lost, even in contemporary Daheng, the aristocracy has already become a pure title, as for fiefs and the like, it was gone hundreds of years ago.

And pomp and circumstance requires money to maintain, in the early years, it was still possible to rely on savings and selling some things from time to time, but after more than ten years, Montessori can no longer maintain it.

The current Duke of Meng, Meng Handong, raised his eyes and looked around, and all the things that could be sold were sold out, leaving the ancestral Duke's Mansion that had not been repaired for more than ten years.

Finally, he set his sights on his daughter!

In the past two years, as her daughter is about to become an adult, many people have come to ask for marriage, but although Ji Handong's ability is a little worse, he can't keep the family business, not to mention, and he has lost the family business, but he is not stupid yet.

He knew that his only daughter could not marry easily, and if he wanted to marry, he would have to marry someone who could bring the greatest benefits, so he kept dragging it out.

But now, there is a suitable candidate.

He heard that Lin Ziran is not married yet, and he has a concubine who is not yet married!

And if Lin Ziran wants to get married, who else is more suitable to be the wife of the state order than his daughter?

Two thousand years of Montessori aristocratic bloodline, the daughter of the Duke of Meng, this point may not be attractive to those big feudal towns in other states, because many of those big feudal towns are also from noble backgrounds, and even many of them are surnamed Ji.

What's more, the people's territory is not in Nanhai Prefecture, and they don't need the influence of Montessori, a down-and-out aristocratic family, in Nanhai Prefecture.

But for Lin Zi, who served as the governor of Nanhai Prefecture, they were a good marriage partner!

In Nanhai Prefecture, many people still remember his father, the previous generation of Duke Meng Wenyong.

If Lin Ziran can marry his daughter, then he will be able to use the prestige of the previous generation of Duke Meng to better lay a solid foundation for his rule in Nanhai Prefecture.

This is a great benefit to Lin Ziyan.

Since there are such great benefits, then Lin Ziran, as a state order, can't treat him badly, so he should give a dowry that is in line with his state order!

Although Meng Handong found himself at the beginning, he said to himself that this was for the future of Nanhai Prefecture and something like that, but Cheng Hongbin looked at him, and then looked at the Duke's Mansion that was magnificent on the surface, but in fact it was empty and tattered, Cheng Hongbin knew that after the Duke Meng Handong sold his family property, he planned to sell his daughter!
