Looking at the gifts from his father and aunt, Yang Ehuang was very happy and thanked them one by one.
At this time, someone stepped forward and said: "Lu Ziqian of the Lu family, Gao Xu Dao of the Gao family, Zhao He Ran of the Zhao family personally came to the house and brought a generous salute to congratulate!" ”
Li Chongjiu nodded, and the other officials of the Youzhou scholar clan had their own Wang Junkuo, and Wang Ma Han greeted him by himself.
However, as an important figure in the Fanyang Lu family, Lu Ziqian, as well as the heads of the Gao and Zhao families, Li Chongjiu had to be received together with Emperor Yang E.
At that moment, Lu Ziqian, Gao Xu Dao, and Zhao Heran walked into the big tent, and saluted Li Chongjiu and Emperor Yang E and said, "Meet Shanggu Gong, Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "The three of them can come over in person, it's really brilliant." ”
Lu Ziqian smiled reservedly, but Gao Xu Dao smiled happily: "The wedding of Shanggu Gong and Her Royal Highness the Princess is a grand event that has not been held in Youzhou for a hundred years. ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the tent was happy.
As the magistrate of Zhuo County, Shi Gao Xu Dao has no frame on weekdays, and he gets along very well with the officials of Youzhou, so he is very popular, but as the head of the Gao family of Zhuo County, it is really rare to be able to lower his stature and say so.
Then the three families presented the gift list, Li Chongjiu saw the gift list, and couldn't help but say that the congratulatory gifts offered by the three families were inevitably too rich, just copper coins, cloth and gold, and the value was seven or eight thousand, which was equivalent to half of the money that Li Chongjiu lent money to the Youzhou scholars last time.
As for the rest of the jade, ruyi, and jewelry, the rest of the congratulatory gifts, their value is not inferior to that of Fang Cai's property.
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but want to deduct this congratulatory gift for himself and Emperor Yang E, and use it directly as a fund to give Youzhou's current emergency finances a sigh of relief.
However, Li Chongjiu glanced at Lu Ziqian, and said in his heart that the Lu family could send such a rich property, and it was not for nothing. Lu Ziqian is a good analyst, he must be unprofitable, he can't afford to be early, and he has already made a calculation in his heart, thinking that Lu Chengqing must have said that Lu Ziqian was moved.
Thinking that soon after he got married, it is estimated that the Lu family will immediately come to the door to say that he will be hired and marry the King of Qi.
Just as Emperor Li Chongjiu and Yang E were talking to the three of them, a report from outside said: "Qiyu Shanggu Gong, Mrs., Li Quan, the patriarch of the Li clan in Zhongshan, came to visit with gifts. ”
Zhongshan Li came to visit at this time, but why? Li Chongjiu speculated in his heart about the other party's intentions, and immediately said to Lu Gaozhao and the others: "There are distinguished guests coming, and they are not accompanied!" ”
Zhao Heran said with a smile: "Master Ma, how busy you are today, you don't have to greet me and wait." ”
At that moment, Li Chongjiu nodded and came to the side hall with Emperor Yang E. When he arrived at the side hall, Li Chongjiu saw an old man wearing a long robe with a vicissitudes of life, and the other party stood up as soon as he saw him, and said respectfully: "Grass people Li Quan, meet the master of the horse, Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Li Chongjiu saw that although the other party was the patriarch of the Li clan in Zhongshan, he did not have the demeanor of Lu Gao looking for the three of them, and although the long shirt on his body was clean, he also saw the traces of white shampoo, and the other party also called himself a grass man, obviously without an official body, and he was a little cramped when he saw himself.
Li Chongjiu took the other party's hands and presented the gift list, and said, "Patriarch Li is polite. ”
The gift list said ten sheep, thirty chickens, etc., Li Chongjiu saw an embarrassed look on the other party's face, and he didn't have to guess to know that the Zhongshan Li family was not in a good situation now.
Li Chongjiu said: "The patriarch can come all the way to see this hospitality, I don't know how the people of the clan have been doing in recent years?" ”
Patriarch Li Quan sighed and said: "I won't tell you, my Zhongshan Li clan is annoying in Lou, and Ma Yi is also a big clan, but since Liu Wuzhou seceded the territory, forced civil service, let the Turks harm the township, the wheat just sown in the field, just sprouts, the Turks put the war horse into the ground, if our clansmen have criticism, at least they will eat a whip, or they will have a small life, and they can only watch the horses gnaw on the wheat seedlings. ”
"In the past year, the clansmen have been unable to live, and they have fled, and now the surrounding area is still stable in Taiyuan County, and you heard that it is the same clan of our Li family, so the clansmen have come to Taiyuan County to take refuge, and now they are all settled in Jiaocheng. It's just a few thousand people, and there is no food, winter is coming soon, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death. ”
Saying that, Li Quan's eyes were full of tears, and he wept in front of Li Chongjiu.
Emperor Yang E was moved by compassion and held Li Chongjiu's hand.
Li Chongjiu had asked Li Hu and his subordinates before if they wanted to recognize the Zhongshan Li clan of Zongzong, and Li Hu told himself that he and Li Chongjiu's grandfather had always been near Taiyuan County, and because they were ashamed of being thieves, they did not mention their origins, so as not to insult their ancestors.
But if you look at the region, the most likely is the Li clan of Zhongshan, even in the past, Li Hu robbed the traders, and everything was surnamed Li, which was often favorable. Therefore, Li Huyan should use Zhongshan Li if he wants to recognize the sect.
Li Chongjiu asked about Wen Yanbo and others, but it was another way, but they felt that the reputation of the Li family in Zhongshan was too low and unworthy of Li Chongjiu's status today. At that time, the surname Li in the world must be called Zhao County, the second county of Longxi. And the Li family of Zhaojun is higher than the Li family of Longxi, and Li Qi, the ancestor of the Li family of Zhongshan, and Li Munai, the ancestor of the Li family of Zhaojun, are brothers, so if Li Chongjiu recognizes the Li family of Zhaojun, he will obviously have more appeal than the Li family of Zhongshan.
Li Chongjiu weighed the two sides, and finally decided to recognize the Zhongshan Li family. The Li clan of Zhaojun is not bad, but now with Li Mi's surrender to Tang, plus most of the children of the Li clan of Zhaojun have already served Li Tang.
What's more, the Li family of Zhaojun holds one of the five surnames and seven hopes, and has always been self-exalted, Li Chongjiu went to recognize the sect at this time, not because he was looked down upon by him, and he was despised by the people of the world.
In contrast, the Zhongshan Li family, although not prominent now, but also prosperous in the past, in the land of Zhao Yan is quite prestigious, Li Chongjiu is based in Hebei, if you want to rise, you must rely on the power of the same townspeople.
For this aspect, Li Yuan can have today, he is good at borrowing the power of the clan, and Dou Jiande, who has no background in the scholar clan, is good at borrowing the power of his fellow villagers, Dou Jiande's army generals Cao Dan, Gao Yaxian, and Liu Heimin are all Dou Jiande's fellow villagers. If Dou Jiande has not raised the event beforehand, his father died, and his fellow villagers came to the funeral of more than 1,000 people.
On the contrary, if you don't remember the feelings of the same clan and fellow villagers in the past, your character will be despised.
At present, the patriarch Li Quan is visiting in person, and if he asks for himself, Li Chongjiu can take the opportunity to give favors.
Li Chongjiu patted the back of Yang Ehuang's hand at the moment, and said: "Although Li is a state assassin at the moment, he has made small achievements, but tracing back to the roots, if it weren't for the Li family, as a fellow clan, how could he see difficulties and soon, you can rest assured, I will definitely settle the clansmen of Taiyuan County." ”
When Li Quan heard Li Chongjiu say this, he immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, princess, my Li family is ......."
Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "They are all people of the same sect, and it is appropriate to take care of each other. ”
"Yes, yes." Li Quan agreed.
That night, there was no word in the house, and everyone feasted.
On the same day, Li Chongjiu ordered to have fun with the people, and each household in Jixian County sent a piece of rice and a pound of meat, and in the same month, there were people in Zhuo County who got married, and they were rewarded with a piece of cloth, and those who had a son were born, a sheep was rewarded, and a woman was born in the people, and a goose was appreciated. Li Chongjiu also encouraged the people to gather the population and recover from the war as soon as possible.
In addition to benefiting Zhuo County, Youzhou was once again exempted from eight counties, as well as Huaihuang and Yuyi two towns for one year of Ding tax. Although Youzhou's finances are not rich, Li Chongjiu has still exempted Ding tax for two consecutive years. In this way, the burden of the common people was greatly reduced, and in the midst of this war, they were given the opportunity to recuperate.
Li Chongjiu is so generous, but also in the summer wheat and autumn grain harvest is good, as Wei Zheng said, after the chaos is easy to teach, the hungry people are easy to eat, this year's Youzhou counties although there are small locust drought and other disasters, the harvest is not as good as the harvest year, but than the last year of the great cause, the war in Youzhou is full of barren grass, all the barren years, it is really much better.
What's more, the autumn grain levy will start soon, and then not only can last year's people's debts be repaid, but also be rich enough.
The officials in Youzhou not only received a three-day bath, but also cut ten catties of meat at home. You must know that high-level and high-level officials are good, but for low-level officials, their lives are only better than those of the people
As for the soldiers who have been fighting in various places in the past year, Li Chongjiu will not treat them badly, and on the occasion of the wedding, each of them received two buckets of millet and three buckets of wheat, the millet was harvested at the end of last autumn, and the wheat was the chun wheat that had just been harvested this year. And the relatives at home watched their son who went out to serve as a soldier and went home with thick grain and rice on his back, how happy and warm it was.
Under such kindness, the gentry and people of Zhuo County are all grateful to Li Chongjiu.
During the meal, you can look at the city from the height of the city tower in Youzhou City, every household in every square is lit with cooking smoke, and there is little green smoke, in this era when the people take food as the sky, for the troubled times, this scene is a kind of luxury.
The next day, it was already bright, and the yellow and clear sunlight outside the window shone into the house, and it was another fine day.
Emperor Yang E, who has been a bride, put on a high bun, inserted a hairpin and shook it, even if she does not apply fat powder, she is also radiant, and from then on she is not Princess Changle, the daughter of Yang Guang, but the wife of Li Chongjiu.
Li Chongjiu and Yang Ehuang's newlywed marriage was just joy, so it was late. When the two came to the hall, they saw that Mu Deyun was already in the hall, and the maid on the side was holding Li Ying, the son of Li Chongjiu, while Ping Ping was snuggling up to Mu Deyun and looking at Yang Ehuang.
Seeing Emperor Yang E, Mur Deyun didn't get up, just hugged Pingping.
Emperor Yang E walked over when he saw it, and took the initiative to greet him and said, "Sister Mude." ”
Room Deyun stared at Emperor Yang E, looked at it for a long time, and then said: "Your Han woman is really beautiful, no wonder your husband made you the main room." (To be continued.) )
