"What's the matter?" Li Zhen asked casually, his mind was full of ideas about how to ask for money from his uncle, and he didn't have time to think about the meaning of Concubine Yan's words.

Concubine Yan said angrily when she saw it: "What else can it be, it is naturally your marriage, and I don't know what you think, so many noble girls don't marry, they have to be engaged to the daughter of the down-and-out Ying Guogong, but this matter has passed, and I won't say it anymore, but before you leave, you must give me the marriage!" ”

Li Zhen was also stunned when he heard this, obviously not adapting to Concubine Yan's leapfrogging thinking, but he also reacted quickly, and said with a little blush: "There is naturally no problem with getting married, speaking of which, Erchen and Meiniang are not small, and according to the rules, Erchen also needs to get married before leaving Chang'an." ”

Two years ago, Li Zhen reached the age of engagement, and many young famous families were willing to marry Li Zhen at that time, after all, if nothing else, the Yan family behind Li Zhen alone was a big help. However, Li Zhen chose Wu Meiniang's sister, that is, the little beauty who grew up with him, the two can be said to be two little guesses, and they already have feelings for each other, plus Li Zhen also knows that Wu Meiniang is not dead, not only is it one of the sixth brother Li Su's heroes, but also his right-hand man, in charge of the intelligence system of Qi Wangfu. So whether it is emotionally or utilitarian, Li Zhen will choose Wu Meiniang.

After returning from Concubine Yan, Li Zhen did not go back to his Yue Wang's Mansion, but first went to the mansion where Wu Meiniang and Mrs. Yang lived. All of them were handed over to the Yang mother and daughter to manage. It is precisely because of this that Wu Meiniang has long moved out of the Yue Wangfu. Now Li Zhen wants to see each other, but she needs to take a few more steps.

The Ying Guo Mansion is now the Yang family's master. However, Yang is a person of faith, and his temperament is relatively plain, so he does not care much about the management of the Guogong Mansion, but when Meiniang was twelve or thirteen years old, he has begun to manage the Guogong Mansion on behalf of his mother, and slowly took over the power of the house, coupled with the help of Li Su and Wu Meiniang openly and secretly, now the Ying Guogong Mansion is also very prosperous, with a large number of shops and factories under its name. Li Zhen also strongly supports this, after all, he also knows that all this is now Meiniang's, and when Meiniang marries herself, then these industries will all be his.

When the sixteen-year-old Wu Meiniang heard Li Zhen's visit, she was also very happy, put down what she was doing and ran out, since the engagement, Meiniang and Li Zhen can be together in the name of righteousness. Sometimes they also participate in some aristocratic banquets together for business, which also makes the relationship between the two deeper, so they meet very casually.

When Li Zhen, who was drinking tea, saw Wu Meiniang running out of breath, she was also distressed. hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry, I won't run away again." ”

"I ...... Do I want to see you sooner! The petite lady said a little shyly. Unlike her two older sisters, the sixteen-year-old beauty is more petite. And with a goose egg face and big eyes, she looks like a very cute girl. Some people say that beautiful girls are not necessarily cute. But a cute girl must be beautiful, and this sentence is very appropriate for a beautiful girl.

Hear the words of the beautiful girl. Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little guilty, he had been busy with the formation of the army during this time, so naturally he didn't have time to come to see the beautiful girl, no wonder she was so happy after she came here today.

However, Li Zhen quickly recovered, took Meiniang's hand and asked her to sit down beside her, and then told Concubine Yan that the two of them would get married as soon as possible, but Meiniang was also ashamed and happy after hearing it, and her eyes were full of sweetness when she looked at Li Zhen. Speaking of which, Meiniang provoked half of Yingguo's mansion by herself, and she can be regarded as a strong woman in the future generations, but she has a deep affection for Li Zhen, and it can even be said that she is obedient, and when the two get along, there is a sense of a little woman everywhere, which is why Li Zhen likes Meiniang very much.

Li Zhen is the king of Yue, his marriage can not be sloppy, at least it will take a few months just to prepare, so Li Zhen did not stay in Chang'an and wait for marriage, but together with Li Yun, he went to the newly occupied Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, using grain as bait, plus there were tribes such as Luoyun as an example before, so he quickly recruited a group of small tribes who were desperate in war and famine, adding up to nearly 200,000 people.

Under Li Yun's arrangement, coupled with Li Yu's assistance, these grassland people began to slowly move overseas. As for Li Zhen, he rushed back to Chang'an and held a grand wedding ceremony with Wu Meiniang, but it was a pity that Li Su couldn't come back to participate, and Wu Meiniang couldn't disclose her identity, so she couldn't come, which made Taiwan's Wu Meiniang very disappointed.

Li Zhen, who got married, did not rest for long, but began to devote himself to intense preparations on the third day, he sold all the properties of his Yue Wangfu and raised the money he made, and Wu Meiniang also showed the true character of a good wife, and was very bold to sell the property of the Yingguo Mansion, and then handed over all the property to her husband to show her support for Li Zhen.

And the matter of Li Zhen and Li Yun has also spread in Chang'an City, and they are all a little shocked by Wu Meiniang's move, after all, no one expected that this third lady of Ying Guogong would be a little decisive? In addition, those newspapers also reported on this matter, almost all of them were one-sided positive comments, and even many people thought that Wu Meiniang could be a model of a good wife. As a result, Wu Meiniang's reputation increased greatly for a while, and even many men shook their heads and sighed, hurting themselves and feeling sorry for themselves because they couldn't find a good wife like Wu Meiniang.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Li Zhen's maternal family, the Yan family, also began to raise materials everywhere, supporting Li Zhen's actions with great fanfare, compared to Li Zhen and Li Yun's financial resources, the Yan family is the real rich man, don't look at Li Zhen and Li Yun smashed the pot and sold all the industries, but the materials raised are less than one-third of all the materials, and the remaining two-thirds of the materials are almost all provided by the Yan family, which also makes everyone see, what is a real rich person?

However, in comparison, it was not the Yan family that really helped Li Zhen and Li Yun the most, but Li Su who was far away in Taiwan.

From the very beginning, Li Yu helped Li Zhen and Li Yun point out the direction of development, and also collected information on all aspects of Tianzhu for them, so that they already had a comprehensive understanding of the place they were going to when they were in Chang'an.

In addition, the grassland people recruited by Li Zhen and Li Yun were all transported overseas by Li Su, and at the beginning, these grassland people must not all be transported to Tianzhu at once, there must be a temporary station, and this station is also provided by Li Su, which is located in Linyi, which is a grain producing area, and it is not a problem to feed 200,000 grassland people.

When Li Zhen and Li Yun finished raising all the supplies, they took the henchmen they recruited some time ago, plus the two thousand guards of the two palaces, and left Chang'an with their families, and then boarded the boat in Zhengzhou, went all the way east along the Yellow River, and embarked on the road that Li Su had walked at the beginning.

However, Li Zhen and Li Yun were not in a hurry, and even after arriving in Dengzhou, they began to stop and go, mainly because Li Zhen and Li Yun wanted to take their subordinates to visit the territories under the rule of the sixth brother Li Yun, such as they took the train in Dengzhou and turned the entire Dengzhou City, so that everyone could appreciate the prosperity of Dengzhou.

In addition, they also went to Sixuan, visited the South Korean state, where only Han Chinese were allowed to live, and also went to the Wa Kingdom, where muskets and artillery first entered the battlefield of actual combat, and when they arrived at Shanghai, which was already extremely prosperous, it brought great shock to everyone, after all, no one could imagine that the city was just a barren beach a few years ago.

Li Zhen and Li Yun were the most shocked by the changes in Shanghai, because they had seen the desolation here with their own eyes, so when they saw the prosperity in front of them, they had an illusion like in a dream, and it was not until they saw Li Ke that they woke up from the shock.

Li Ke also knew the purpose of Li Zhen and Li Yun's trip, and also knew the ambition of these two younger brothers, he not only supported it very much, but even faintly admired it, after all, he didn't have such courage at the beginning, he could give up everything in the Tang Dynasty and embark on the same path as Li Su.

However, Li Ke feels that it is not too late, and he is not too old, and when Shanghai is on the right track, with the huge benefits generated by this new city, he may be able to embark on the same road of outward expansion as his three younger brothers.

In addition, Li Zhen and Li Yun also met their eldest brother Li Chengqian in Shanghai, although they heard that the eldest brother was willing to be a petty official in Shanghai, but they couldn't believe it until they saw Li Chengqian wearing a green official robe, which made them completely believe that this was true.

However, although Li Chengqian is no longer the prince, he is still their eldest brother after all, so the four brothers got together, and it was also very lively, and they gathered at Li Chengqian's house at night, and they were also drunk.

Li Zhen and Li Yun stayed in Shanghai for three days, and after their subordinates had finished visiting Shanghai, Li Zhen told all his subordinates that they would establish a huge kingdom overseas, and their royal capital would also be a more prosperous city than Shanghai. It's just a big picture, but it's a real morale boost.

After leaving Shanghai, Li Zhen and Li Yun's fleet headed south again, this time to Keelung, Taiwan, where Li Su was already waiting for his two younger brothers. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Wu Meiniang and her mother Yang also came with Li Zhen, but they don't know it yet, Wu Meiniang has been waiting for them in Keelung for a long time.
