In order to show his attention to Zhao Ye, Old Man Gu sent Gu Jingyu to accompany Li Sen and others to Beiyuan to propose marriage.Shen Tingge asked Demon Wind to arrange hidden guards to protect them secretly.As soon as the group arrived in Beiyuan, several news came to the world.First, Gu Li, a ghost in the business world, encountered a shipwreck.Hundreds of people were swallowed up by the tsunami along with several tons of Western goods, Gu Li and several entourages drifted at sea for three days and three nights, and when his people came to the rescue, they were already exhausted and sank to the bottom of the sea, but they just handed over their seals to an entourage, telling him to wait for the rescuers alive.Gu Li just died, and it was reported that the lord of Zhuohua, who got all of Gu Li's inheritance, was separated from the prince of Ding, in order to take care of the huge business, the lord of Zhuohua decided to embroider the building and choose a son-in-law, and then all the Gu Li industries were hung up on the white silk and closed for business, and people could finally see the shops in the Gu Li industry with the naked eye.There are Gu Li's shops in almost every city, including wine shops, tea houses, and Zhenbao Zhai, and due to the sudden closure, the tea, fur, and overseas spices in the market are suddenly out of stock.The business that wanted to make a windfall joined forces and wanted to replace Gu Li's source of delivery, but unfortunately the other party said that he had signed a fifty-year contract with Gu Li, and there was no room for negotiation at all.After Li Sen arrived alone, he was received by Murong Jingxuan, and he personally protected the media, forcing King Ping to accept this family.In fact, everyone knows that now that the rebels are not right, Gu Hong will never leave the army to get married in the north.And the county lord of Anping, who invited himself to fight, would never leave Gu Hong to return to Beiyuan to be married.Therefore, after the two sides discussed, the lord of Anping was brought back by the mission as the dowry of the prince and the dowry of the king of peace to his daughter.At the same time, Li Sen expressed the sincerity of the new emperor of Tiansheng, signed an agreement on the commercial and trade flow between the two countries, and opened the border so that the subjects of the two countries could move around and intermarry with each other.After Li Sen returned to Tiansheng, he asked Baili Xuanji for orders to go to the Western Wilderness, open up the wasteland and farm land, and implement a new military administration from the Zhenxi Army.Naturally, there was an uproar in the DPRK and China, and some people directly threatened that Li Sen was really a disaster for the country, and some people reported with the mentality of watching a good show, and Li Ao was also stunned, believing that if the soldiers opened up the wasteland and cultivated the land, they would wear out their heroic courage, and when the time came, coupled with the fatigue of the army, they would definitely suffer defeat."
Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's a good idea.The barbarians have been active in the Western Wilderness all the year round, and if it continues for a long time, the Western Wilderness will become a training ground for the barbarians after all, and if he is a soldier and we fight with the two armies, it will take three or five days to dispatch grain and grass from the nearest Xifu County.If the Western Wilderness can set up checkpoints for our dynasty to use the city to build a city, it can become a military important place to defend against external troubles, not to mention, Lord Li's political comments in Wutong Academy, His Majesty has also appreciated, and it is even more rare for Lord Li to abandon the wealth of the court and be willing to go to the barren Western Wilderness thousands of miles away, this courage, determination is unmatched" Bai Liyao said this, everyone thought for a while, and had nothing to say.If the Western Wilderness can be successfully governed, it is indeed an outer wall of Tiansheng.Although there have been only minor fights with the barbarians over the years, the tribes on the steppes have gradually become stronger.Some of these generals already have a territory in their hearts, you must know that the east of the Western Wilderness is now a powerful Shatuo country, and the governance of the Western Wilderness is imperative.Baili Xuanji nodded approvingly and said, "What King Ding said is extremely true.It's just that Li Aiqing went to the Western Wilderness alone and had no one to take care of her life, and I was very worried.If the decree continues, I will marry Lord Li and the lord of Jian'an.From now on, the Western Wilderness was renamed Xiqiang, I gave Shang Fang the sword, named Li Sen as the governor of the Western Wilderness, Gu Chengyu as the governor, led 50,000 troops, and set off on a certain day. ”The county lord of Jian'an, isn't it the daughter of the Gu family, the emperor asked Li Sen to marry Gu Jingyu's daughter, and asked Gu Chengyu to go to Xiqiang together, how can he feel a little weird.The court naturally complained, and the old ministers thought that blindly reusing the old ministers of Beiyuan would lose the hearts of the courtiers, but there was no one who really wanted to stand up and was willing to replace Gu Chengyu.Only Li Sen understood in his heart that Baili Xuanji was not really planning for himself.Let him become in-laws with the Gu family, and let Gu Chengyu go with him, which is equivalent to getting the support of the Gu family in terms of financial resources.Moreover, the Gu family is in Shengjing, and Gu Chengyu can only be loyal to Tiansheng.The governor of the Terracotta Division back then was not a martial artist with brute force."
Why, Lord Li doesn't have an opinion on His Majesty's marriage," Wu Xinghou sneered coldly.He sent someone to propose to his son to the Gu family yesterday, but today the emperor gave him a marriage to Li Sen, which made him indignant.The Li family is only left with him as a man, even if there is a child in his heart, he must continue the Li family's incense, so that the father under Jiuquan will look at "Your Majesty's Longen, the ministers dare not forget that the ministers should bow and do their best, share worries for Your Majesty, and hope that my Tiansheng will prosper and prosper, and I will be grateful for the impassioned thanksgiving" Li Sen prostrate on the ground, grateful for the impassioned thanksgiving, these few words of compliment were to the extreme, and the courtiers who had always followed Li Sen immediately knelt down and echoed, and the voice of praise resounded in the Jinluan Hall in an instant.Because Baili Yao's health was not good, Baili Xuanji sat down, at this time he did not kneel on the ground, but just smiled at Baili Xuanji, who was looking at him, and said with his lips: This person, the talent of the land, can be of great use The day of congratulating the imperial uncle's wedding was screened by the Ministry of Rites and set for thirteen days later, just past Gu Li's funeral.Another holy decree of the imperial court, the pot exploded in the capital, and the teahouse and wine shop that was originally silent because of more than a dozen shops such as Phoenix Tower hanging white silk for Gu Li became active again.A newly opened restaurant by the Yan Dynasty people has become the new favorite of Shengjing people.The most talked about is the current Gu family, Gu Hong is the general of Zhenxi, and his wife is the lord of Beiyuan who was begged by the envoy, and now he is the deputy general; Gu Lian, the lord of Jian'an County, is also the wife of Li Sen, His Majesty's important minister and feudal official; Although Gu Zhuo is a five-grade servant at the moment, his future development is indescribable; And now even Gu Jingyu, who has been idle for a long time, has become a second-class member, even if there is no Zhuohua County Lord to support the façade, the Gu family is already a famous dignitary in Tiansheng, but what makes everyone sigh even more is that the Gu family is scarce, those who have sons can't marry back, and those who have daughters can't get married, even if they want to be concubines for others, but the Gu family has a family rule that only after forty can they take concubines, so they can only look at the door and sigh.Gu Zhuo never knew that he also had a time when his relatives stepped through the threshold, and for a long time later, Gu Zhuo couldn't be more low-key, and he almost didn't dare to walk on the streets of Shengjing openly.Compared with the boiling outside world, the Gu family did not explode.Gu Lao is shrewd, and he is not a pedantic person, he and Shen Qingge both understand Baili Xuanji's intentions.gave them the great imperial grace of the Gu family, and held the Gu family tightly in his hands, and spread it to the outside world, I don't know how many talented people with great ambitions or the descendants of the declining royal family came to defect, of course, the governor is in charge of finance, people's livelihood, and now Shen Tingge's family is big, and there will definitely be support in terms of financial resources, the new emperor This is killing three birds with one stone Li Sen because he is alone in Tiansheng, the emperor is preparing for Li Sen's wedding with Lord Hong of the Ministry of Rites, and all the expenses and manpower are out of the Ministry of Rites.The parties Li Sen and Gu Jingyu issued conscription notices and military service systems nationwide, and the scope of conscription included ordinary soldiers such as the Red Flame Army and the Qilin Battalion.The new military service system caused an uproar in the world, and the old scholars couldn't help but think of the most prosperous and powerful Zhaoyang era in the long history: those who served in the military for three years could get five taels of silver at a time, and after three years, they would get another five taels, and their families would be exempted from taxes within three years, and they would be rewarded after three years; As soon as the system of five years of military service was introduced, people from poor families, small traders, and short-term workers applied one after another.Within ten days of enlistment, more than 40,000 people were collected than planned, and after integration, it was already 100,000 troops.So on the day before Li Sen's wedding, the 100,000 army was equipped with 50,000 horses and armor and weapons, and the rest of the military supplies and 500,000 taels of silver were raised.As a result, the wedding of Li Sen, the governor of Xiqiang, was once again concerned by everyone.The dowry of the lord of Jian'an County did not disappoint everyone, although it was difficult to reach the dowry of the lord of Zhuohua, but as far as Sheng Jing was concerned, it was also a first-class dowry, a full fifty loads, there were fields and houses, and there were also nurses, all neat and good-looking, envying the onlookers.Gu Lian looked at the picturesque woman in the mirror, she was stunned and hadn't come back to her senses, she felt that since Shen Qingge recovered from a serious illness, her life was in a trance as if in a dream.Li Sen she has seen it, handsome, gentle and elegant, slightly bookish, although the official worships Shangshu, he is still polite like a scholar, and he is not decent.She had never had any admiration for him, because she had never dreamed of marrying such a man.Shen Tingge held her shoulders and whispered: "According to Your Majesty's wishes, I am afraid that you will have to follow Li Sen to the barren and desolate Xiqiang, and maybe you will have to follow him to suffer, if you don't want to go, I have my own way to let you stay." ”"Cousin" Gu Lian got up and suddenly bowed to Shen Tingge, Shen Tingge hurriedly picked her up, but Gu Lian didn't want to get up.Shen Tingge saw that she was reluctant to get up, and she no longer insisted.Gu Lian burst into tears, choked up and said: "Gu Lian has been lonely and helpless since she was a child, thanks to the blessing of her mother by God, from a humble concubine to Miss Gu Jiayan, and now, I am loved by my cousin, I am now a sparrow into a phoenix, if I am hypocritical, I am afraid that my life will not be able to suppress this blessing." ”As he spoke, he kowtowed to Shen Tingge three times, and Fang got up with Xiao Tao's support.Three days later, Li Sen and Gu Jingyu took their families and 100,000 troops to Xiqiang.That's seven years.Li Sen introduced new varieties of cotton from overseas, making Xiqiang the place with the highest yield and best quality of Tiansheng cotton.Xiqiang's cotton replaced kapok, and under the leadership of Gu Lian, he created a cotton-spinning mixed weaving method, and therefore, a new Suji textile machine was passed down to the world.The city of Xiqiang took three years to complete, and the city wall was built next to the Huyan River, making it a natural barrier.A new and huge city was built on the barren sandy soil of the past, and many soldiers who had completed their military service would not only receive a settling-in allowance of twenty taels if they had settled here, but also a piece of land for wasteland, and if they were willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, they would have an income after a year.Gu Hong and the soldiers did not return to Beijing without a truce, and devoted themselves to the governance of Xiqiang, and married Zhao Ye two years later under the auspices of Li Sen.When Li Sen returned to Beijing to report on his work, Xiqiang had increased from more than 100 miscellaneous households to more than 5,000 households.After returning to Beijing, Li Sen was awarded the Zhongshu Order of Super Yipin, Gu Lian Yipin was ordered, and Gu Jingyu was promoted to the governor of Xiqiang.At the same time, Baili Xuanyi was defeated and withdrew from Xiqiang, defected to Ruoerdan Khan, offered many treasures and a beauty, and won a reward from the right general.Some people say that the beauty is the Hua Concubine who still knows how to charm Shaohua, and some people say that she is the side princess, but after the death of Ruoerdan, Baili Xuanyi was enshrined as Sirius, united several tribes to make a comeback, and wanted to attack Xiqiang City when it was not perfect.At that time, he died on the battlefield, and finally fulfilled his dream.After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Zhongyong Uncle by Emperor Tiansheng, and the title was hereditary.Shen Tianzhuo, who was the deputy of the Privy Council at the time, handed over the ruling power of the fiefdom and only used the taxes collected as a payment.In the sixth year of Tianyuan, Gu Hong was enshrined as the king of Zhenxi, and Zhao Ye became the only female general at the moment.Gu family has reached unprecedented prominence.aa2705221:
