Wu Nian sat back and looked up at the three of them.

Liu Xiang, Wu, and Chen seemed to have agreed in advance. Wu and Chen looked at Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang was also straightforward and said: "Brother, Zhen'er, and Ya'er were childhood sweethearts. Now they have grown up. Please, please

Take the initiative and organize their marriage."

Wu and Chen both nodded.

Of course Wu Nian knew that his adopted daughter would be harmed by his nephew sooner or later. According to the customs of this era, a woman could get married at the age of thirteen.

It stands to reason that the two should have gotten married long ago, but they have been delayed for several years.

Now Wu Nian was still hesitant and said, "Isn't Ya'er only eighteen? How about waiting another two years?"

"We can't wait any longer, we are all old girls." Mrs. Chen became anxious and glared at Wu Nian in a rare way.

"We can't wait any longer." Mrs. Wu nodded repeatedly and also helped.

"Okay." Wu Nian didn't insist when he saw this. After thinking for a while, he said: "What auspicious day, you go choose it."

"Now that the couple is married, they have to start their own business. I will choose a big house and give them some slaves. By the way, I have already left 800 acres of land outside the city and three shops in the city to ensure that they have food and clothing.

worry."

At that time, Wu Nian took over this matter and regarded Zhang Zhen as his son. Even though he had been away fighting for most of these years, he had never forgotten this matter.

A man's husband's words are gold.

"Brother, sister, I'm really tired of you for dragging your feet." Wu did not refuse, but just said while wiping her tears.

"We are siblings, what can we say?" Wu Nian glared at her.

Zhang Zhen and Li Ya both have no fathers. What Wu Nian said was the final word. Then they acted separately.

It's easy to talk about slaves, just give some out to your family. It's easy to talk about houses. The government still has some houses in the city, so you don't need to spend money to buy them.

Wu Nian personally selected a large house with three entrances as a wedding room for the couple.

This is a happy event, and everyone in the house is happy. Even Li Ya, although quite thick-skinned, feels shy at the moment.

Every time I saw Wu Nian, I blushed and ran away.

Wu Nian was a little depressed.

This girl liked me so much when she was a child that she often hugged him and called her daddy. It’s true that a girl can’t be spared.

Wu Nian did not believe in fate, but he followed the local customs.

Wu and Chen found a fortune teller who was said to be very knowledgeable and chose an auspicious day for the young couple.

The twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month next year.

It will take some time.

Wu Nian's main focus was still on military affairs. According to his order, various military commanders entered Meng Yuan and Huanglong Mansion, and had a fierce conflict with Meng Yuan's army.

Both sides suffered casualties, but there was no large-scale battle.

Wu Nian's goal was also achieved. This made Meng Yuan, Goguryeo, Fusang, and Chu all believe that Wu Nian's next goal was Huanglong Mansion.

Complete Wu Nian’s long-held ambition.

"Expel the Tartars and recover Liaodong."

At the same time, General Toyotomi of Fuso did not just talk in vain. He indeed united the Goguryeo navy and blocked the sea.

As a result, Li Tianbao and Songping Yishin's Navy Ten Thousand Households could only stay in the port and near the coast, carrying out daily training tasks, as if they were shrinking tortoises, and they were very frustrated.

Those foreign businessmen exchanged registered treasury bonds for silver, sold their fields and houses in Liaodong with a lot of money, and then disappeared without a trace.

Maritime trade in Liaodong basically dropped to zero. This huge shipping department became the Qingshui Yamen.

Liaodong's financial situation took a turn for the worse. Sun Sang, the owner of the house, grew worried and his hair grew gray.

The pressure from all directions was pressing on Liaodong. But Liaodong was a big solid iron ball and was not crushed by the pressure. It was just a little more embarrassed and uglier.

no way.

I endure the cloudy weather for a while, just to clear the clouds and see the sun.

Once Wu Nian captures Goguryeo, he will become a dragon. He can stretch his body to his heart's content and make waves.

Time flies and it’s the end of the year again.

After accepting the officials' congratulations, Wu Nian closed the door and celebrated the New Year with his family.

It snows continuously after the new year.

According to the saying that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, this year will be another year of good weather.

Good sign.

On the morning of the seventh day of the lunar month, Wu Nian was in the outer room of his bedroom, discussing Zhang Zhen and Li Ya's marriage with Liu Xiang.

In the charcoal furnace, the charcoal fire burned vigorously, dispelling the cold.

There were many invitations on the table. Wu Nian looked at each invitation to make sure nothing was missing. After reading it, Wu Nian nodded and said, "I will send someone to deliver the invitations right away."

"Yes." Liu Xiang nodded slightly, showing joy.

That's great. This is not just Zhang Zhen's and Li Ya's business. There hasn't been such a happy event in the family for a long time. It's good to be lively and lively.

Suddenly, a soldier came to the door, bent down and said, "General, Lord Gongsun, please see me."

"Oh? What a coincidence." Wu Nian laughed, found the one belonging to Gongsun Sang among the many invitations, stuffed it into his sleeve, said goodbye to Liu Xiang, and walked out to the main room.

Inside the hall.

Gongsun Sang was waiting. There was no charcoal stove in the room. Although he was wearing a winter coat, it was quite cold to sit dry.

"General." After hearing the noise, Gongsun Sang stood up and saluted Wu Nian.

"Sit down. What can I do?" Wu Nian went straight to the main seat and sat down, raising his head and asking.

"I want to abolish the Shipping Department." Gongsun Sang sat down and went straight to the point. Finally, he explained: "There are too many officials in the Shipping Department, and the monthly salary is a huge expense. There is no income. General.

He is plotting against Huanglong Mansion again. I don’t know if we can open up sea trade again in the Year of the Monkey or the Horse. It’s better to close it down and save money.”

Wu Nian was very pleased that he had deceived him thoroughly. Even officials of Gongsun Sang's level thought that he was plotting against Huanglong Mansion.

Of course, the Municipal Shipping Department cannot be abolished. It is not easy to establish such an yamen and train excellent officials, so it cannot be abolished.

"It's easy to destroy it, but it's hard to rebuild it. It's better to maintain it." Wu Nian shook his head and said.

Gongsun Sang opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but finally gave up.

Wu Nianxiao looked at him, took out the invitation from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Gongsun Sang, saying: "Don't be so sad. Tell me something happy. I will marry my daughter on the 28th and treat you to a wedding banquet."

Gongsun Sang was stunned for a moment and then realized that Wu Nian had an adopted daughter.

Although he was a little depressed because the thing didn't work out, he was very happy to have wedding wine and dinner.

"Don't worry, General, I will be there on time." Gongsun Sang said happily.

"Yeah." Wu Nian nodded with a smile.

After sending Gongsun Sang away, Wu Nian sent people to disperse the invitations. For a time, the whole Jiang County was in a sensation.

Every move of the king affects all aspects of the country.

And when Wu Nian marries his daughter, the people who can go out to have a drink are naturally top-notch people. Others are envious of her, and those who have a drink also feel honored.
