Chapter 610 Li Chong's Wedding
In the spring of 205 A.D., after several months of rest, the people of Hebei, which was reduced to a war zone, temporarily settled down.

The post-war recovery mechanism of Dachu is perfect. More than half of the soldiers of the North Army Corps were transformed into engineers in an instant. First, all the official roads were repaired, and then the ruins of key cities were sorted out.

At this time, the real engineering team will bring the organized refugees to carry out post-war reconstruction work, asking everyone to repair the city's infrastructure, dredge the river, and reclaim the fields.Prior to this, there have been specialized agronomists who have investigated and arranged the agricultural plan for next year to ensure that the necessary food can meet the needs of the people. At the same time, cotton and other cash crops will be planted simultaneously without wasting land and time.

The common people get wages, so they buy daily necessities from the chamber of commerce. At the same time, several families rent the tools provided by the court, cut down trees to make planks and other materials according to the plan, and even buy some bricks, stones and concrete to build houses if conditions permit.If the conditions are poor, repair the house and live in it.

I have to say that these days, the people are very simple, and their needs are as simple as 'living' with enough food and clothing.However, as several private schools and bookstores opened one after another, and school-age children were called to report for study, the numb eyes of the common people became a little brighter.

Yes, at present, Dachu’s financial resources have allowed a certain degree of compulsory education, which only lasts for three years, but the enlightenment education has been basically completed, and the rest can only rely on schoolchildren to study on their own, or go to more professional schools.In fact, as long as they are admitted to Tongsheng, the county schools in various places will also recruit them.If the tuition fee is insufficient, you can also work-study.

All of this was something that Yuan Shao and even the Han court did not have before, and the common people were naturally grateful.The aristocratic family was quite dissatisfied with this, but they knew better that in the general environment, they had no right to speak at all.

Among other things, Wang Yu's Northern Expedition Corps was watching covetously from the sidelines.Especially when the supervisory departments came to the counties one after another and new county magistrates took office one after another, they realized that the previous tricks could no longer be played.

Either compromise, or the family gradually declines or even collapses, or directly migrates to live in Guanzhong.Most of the aristocratic families couldn't leave their homeland, so they finally chose to obey and compromise.There are also many aristocratic families who hope to further establish a relationship with Da Chu.

Marriage is always a way to strengthen relationships and exchanges between families.Therefore, all the generals of the Northern Expedition Army received invitations from Hebei families. When they went to the mansion for a banquet, they would introduce their daughters or granddaughters to the generals, Wei Yan, Guan Yu, Tai Shici, It is said that Long Li, He Qi and Bai Xin also took concubines under Wang Yu's signal.

In Wang Yu's original words, it is: "You are all excellent generals, and your descendants must be extraordinary. A family needs a large number of outstanding descendants to maintain and continue. You are either young or in your prime, but you should also consider it. .”

Yes, a family first needs the joint efforts of all relatives, and the education and development of the next generation is equally important.It is said that youth comes from blue, if the next generation has dudes, then the savings of the previous generation will be destroyed. This is the difference between the nouveau riche and the aristocratic family.Three generations of a poor family have become a family, and three generations of an upstart have become a poor X.

The Bai family's status has been insignificant since the pre-Qin period, and the Long family has no outstanding talents except for Long Li. Not to mention Tai Shici's family has declined, not to mention He Qi and Guan Yu, both of whom came from poor families, so there are no relatives who can help , if the family wants to develop, it must rely on itself and the next generation.

Apparently, in the end they were persuaded, and there was one or two more concubines in the family, and maybe a few new ones in the next year.

"I'm back!" After being greeted by Li Ming, Xun Cai and others, Li Chong finally returned to Shouchun's home.Surprisingly, he was accompanied by a 22-year-old young woman.

At first glance, I only feel that the country is beautiful, even Li Ming can't help but lose his mind for a second, but he has seen the world, Diao Chan next to him can be described as stunning in the world, and it is inevitable that he will not be so rude when looking at other women.

"This is Zhen Mi, the young daughter of the Zhen family in Wei County...Um, my child hopes to take her as a concubine." Li Chong shyly introduced the girl beside him to his parents, and carefully looked at Dong Bai who was beside him.

"Hmph!" Dong Bai pouted and turned his head to the side, Wang Xi didn't care, but unexpectedly there was another Zhen's mansion.This little girl from the northwest showed her dissatisfaction on her face without any scruples.

"Hahaha, if Chong'er likes it, then we have nothing to support! It's just that I'm curious, why is a woman like Zhen Mi not married yet?" Li Ming heard Li Chong's introduction and knew that she was 22 years old. years old, 2 years older than Li Chong.For such a beauty, it is impossible for her parents not to help her get engaged, and it is even possible to get married and have children at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

"It's like this. Her parents love her very much, so they hope to get married. However, she is already engaged to Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi. Later, Yuan Shao's situation was turbulent, and the marriage was postponed. Afterwards, Yuan Xi was expelled from the Yuan Clan. , the marriage fell through." Li Chong hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Then how did she and you meet?" Li Ming asked with great interest.He already roughly knew who Zhen Mi was, and it should be the reference prototype in Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu".But in terms of memory, Zhen Mi should be called Zhen Luo.

Well, I'm almost forty, maybe it's not surprising that my memory is a bit off.

"Last year, Hai'er served under Uncle Wang's command and participated in the campaign against Yuan Shao. At that time, he entered Ye City with the army. At that time, Hai'er was responsible for maintaining the law and order of Ye City..." Li Chong said slowly.

When talking about this, Li Ming joked with great interest: "Could it be that the hero just saved the beauty?"

I remember that Zhao Yun was like this, he saved Gan Qian, and then made a marriage, and now he has two sons, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang.I heard that Zhao Yun took Gongsundu's young daughter as his concubine in Youzhou, so it is estimated that the number of Zhao family will not decrease.

"The Zhen family is a family in Wei County and the largest grain merchant in Jizhou. The Zhang family of Mi'er's mother's family is one of the largest horse merchants in Hebei. In the past when Liu Bei raised troops, it was Zhang Shiping, a son of the Zhang family in Zhongshan who sent him five The relationship between a hundred war horses and armor. With such wealth, how could he be bullied? It's just... At that time, Mother Zhen took the initiative to push Mi Er out..." Li Chong felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

At that time, Zhen's mother brought Zhen Mi out and said: "When Zhen Mi saw Li Chong in the crowd, she fell in love at first sight. She also felt that in this troubled world, it is important for women to find a responsible man to marry. Knowing that Li Chong is actually Li Ming's eldest son, but he looks mighty and extraordinary, and his temperament is beyond words, so he should be a good match."

Later, when he found out that Li Chong was actually Li Ming's eldest son, although he didn't show it, he became even more enthusiastic.Perhaps for her, this marriage can be regarded as a real bet!

Actually, Li Chong didn't intend to take concubines at first, but I have to say that Zhen Mi is indeed too beautiful, which made it hard for him to forget.Her figure kept reappearing in his mind, and the longer the interval, the clearer it became. Finally, he understood that perhaps he also fell in love with Zhen Mi at first sight, and he did not intend to hide or deny his feelings.

Of course, he didn't stop wearing small shoes on Wang Yu's side afterwards.

 I know that many people like Zhen Mi, but for the protagonist, marrying a woman in her twenties at the age of 40 is indeed a bit of a difference in age...
