    "What's the matter?" Li Zhen asked casually. His mind was filled with thoughts of how to get money from his uncle, and he had no time to think about the meaning of Concubine Yan's words.

    Concubine Yan said angrily: "What else could it be? It's naturally your marriage. I don't know what you think. There are so many noble girls who refuse to marry and insist on having an affair with the daughter of the down-and-out Duke Ying.  But this matter has passed, so I won¡¯t talk about it anymore, but you must arrange the marriage for me before you leave!"

    Li Zhen was stunned when he heard this. He obviously didn't adapt to Yan Fei's leaping thinking, but he quickly reacted and said with a blushing face: "There is no problem in getting married. Speaking of which, my son, Chen and Meiniang are both.  Not too young, and according to the rules, my son and I need to get married before leaving Chang'an."

    Two years ago, Li Zhen reached the age of degeneration. At that time, many famous families were willing to marry Li Zhen. After all, if nothing else, the Yan family behind Li Zhen was a big help.  However, Li Zhen chose Wu Meiniang's sister, the little Meiniang who grew up with him. The two could be said to be childhood sweethearts, and they already had feelings for each other. In addition, Li Zhen also knew that Wu Meiniang was not dead.  Not only is he one of Sixth Brother Li Min's subordinates, but he is also his right-hand man and is in charge of the intelligence system of Prince Qi's Mansion.  Therefore, Li Zhen would choose Wu Meiniang regardless of emotional or utilitarian considerations.

    After returning from Concubine Yan, Li Zhen did not go back to his Yue Prince's Mansion, but first went to the mansion where Wu Meiniang and Mrs. Yang lived. In the past few years, under the pressure of Li Min and Li Zhen, the Wu brothers not only  The Duke Ying's Mansion in Chang'an was handed over to Yang and his daughter, and half of the property of Duke Ying's Mansion was also handed over to Yang and his daughter for management.  It is precisely because of this that Wu Meiniang has moved out of Prince Yue's Mansion a long time ago. Now if Li Zhen wants to see her, she needs to take a few more steps.

    ??The Yang family is now in charge of the Duke Ying's Mansion, but Yang is a man of faith and has a relatively plain temperament, so he doesn't have much involvement in the management of the Duke's Mansion.  As a result, when Meiniang was twelve or thirteen years old, she had already started to manage the Duke's Mansion on behalf of her mother, and slowly took over the power in the mansion. With the overt and covert help of Li Min and Wu Meiniang, now the Duke Ying's Mansion is also very prosperous.  It has a large number of shops and factories under its name.  Li Zhen also strongly supports this. After all, he also knows that everything belongs to Meiniang now, and Meiniang will marry him when the time comes.  Then all these properties belong to him.

    When the sixteen-year-old Wu Meiniang heard that Li Zhen was visiting, she was also very happy. She put down what she was doing and ran out. Since the abortion, Meiniang and Li Zhen can be together legitimately.  Sometimes they also do business and attend some noble banquets together, which also makes the relationship between the two deeper, so the meeting is very casual.

    When Li Zhen, who was drinking tea, saw Wu Meiniang running out of breath, she felt extremely distressed. He hurriedly stepped forward to help her and said, "Why are you running in such a hurry? I won't run away."

    "II want to see you earlier!" The petite beauty said shyly.  The sixteen-year-old Meiniang is different from her two sisters. She is relatively petite, with an oval 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. This sentence is very suitable for Mei Niang.

    Hearing Meiniang¡¯s words, Li Zhen couldn¡¯t help but feel a little guilty. He had been busy building an army during this period, so naturally he didn¡¯t have time to see Meiniang.  No wonder she was so happy after she came today.

    But Li Zhen recovered quickly, took Meiniang's hand and asked her to sit down next to him, and then told Concubine Yan that she wanted them to get married as soon as possible.  As a result, Meiniang was both ashamed and happy after hearing this, and her eyes looking at Li Zhen were full of sweetness.  Speaking of which, Meiniang alone provoked half of Yingguo's palace.  In later generations, she can be regarded as a strong woman, but she is very affectionate towards Li Zhen, and can even be said to be submissive. When the two get along, there is a sense of a little woman in everything. This is also the case with Li Zhen.  The reason why I like beautiful girls so much.

    As the king of Yue, Li Zhen couldn't be careless about his marriage. At least it would take several months to prepare. So Li Zhen did not stay in Chang'an to wait for the wedding, but went to the newly occupied city with Li Yun.  The Anbei Protectorate used food as bait and had Luoyun and other tribes as examples before, so it quickly recruited a group of small tribes who had been desperate in the war and famine, totaling nearly 200,000 people.  .

    Under Li Yun¡¯s arrangement and with Li Min¡¯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. Unfortunately, Li Min couldn't come back in time to attend, and Wu Meiniang couldn't reveal her identity, so she couldn't come either.  This made Wu Meiniang in Taiwan very disappointed.

    Li Zhen, who got married, did not rest for long. Instead, he began to make intense preparations on the third day. He sold out all his properties in the Yue Prince's Mansion to raise a fortune. Wu Meiniang also showed her extraordinary ability.  As a good wife, she was very courageous and sold off the property of Duke Ying's house, and then handed over all the property to her husband to show her support for Li Zhen.

     The story of Li Zhen and Li Yun has also spread in Chang'an City. They are all a little shocked by Wu Meiniang's move. After all, no one expected that the third lady of Ying Guogong would be somewhat decisive.  ?In addition, newspapers have also reported on this matter, and almost all of them have overwhelmingly positive comments. Many people even think that Wu Meiniang can be a model of a good wife.  As a result, Wu Meiniang's reputation greatly increased, and many men even shook their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for themselves because they could not find a good wife like Wu Meiniang.

    It is also worth mentioning that Li Zhen¡¯s mother family, the Yan family, also began to raise supplies and support Li Zhen¡¯s actions with great fanfare. Compared with the financial resources of Li Zhen and Li Yun, the Yan family is the real rich person. Don¡¯t look at it.  Li Zhen and Li Yun sold all their properties, but the supplies they raised were less than one-third of all the supplies. The remaining two-thirds of the supplies were almost all provided by the Yan family, which also made  Everyone has seen it, what does it mean to be a truly rich person?

    But in comparison, the person who really helped Li Zhen and Li Yun the most was not the Yan family, but Li Min who was far away in Taiwan.

    From the very beginning, Li Min 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 when they were in Chang'an, they already had an idea of ??where they were going.  Get a comprehensive understanding.

    In addition, all the prairie people recruited by Li Zhen and Li Yun were transported overseas by Li Min. Moreover, at the beginning, these prairie people certainly could not be transported to Tianzhu all at once. There must be a temporary station, and this station  It was also provided by Li Min. It is located in Linyi, which is a grain-producing area. Feeding 200,000 grassland people is not a problem at all.

    After Li Zhen and Li Yun had collected all the supplies, they took the confidants they had recruited some time ago, plus two thousand guards from the two princes, and left Chang'an with their families, and then went to Zhengzhou.  The boat went east along the Yellow River and embarked on the same road that Li Min took.

    However, Li Zhen and Li Yun were not in a hurry. Even after arriving in Dengzhou, they started to stop and go. This was mainly because Li Zhen and Li Yun wanted to take their men to visit the territories under the rule of sixth brother Li Min, such as  They got on the train in Dengzhou and traveled around the entire city of Dengzhou, allowing everyone to appreciate the prosperity of Dengzhou.

    In addition, they also went to Sixian, where only Han people were allowed to live in South Korea, and also went to Japan, where they visited the battlefield where muskets and artillery first entered actual combat. When they arrived in Shanghai, which was already extremely prosperous, they gave everyone a  It all brought great shock. After all, no one could imagine that this city was just a deserted 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 the illusion that they were in a dream, until they saw it.  When Li Ke arrived, they woke up from the shock.

    Li Ke also knew the purpose of Li Zhen and Li Yun's trip, and also knew the ambitions of these two brothers. Not only did he support this, he even vaguely admired it. After all, he didn't have such courage in the first place and could actually give up.  Everything in the Tang Dynasty followed the same path as Li Min.

    However, Li Ke feels that it is not too late now, and he is not too old. After Shanghai gets on the right track, with the huge benefits generated by this new city, maybe he can move forward like his three younger brothers.  The road to external expansion.

    In addition, Li Zhen and Li Yun also met their eldest brother Li Chengqian in Shanghai. Although they heard that his eldest brother was willing to become a minor official in Shanghai, they could not believe it until they saw Li Chengqian wearing a green official robe.  Let them completely believe that this is true.

    However, although Li Chengqian is no longer the prince, he is still their eldest brother after all, so when the four brothers get together, it is also very lively. When they get together at Li Chengqian's house in the evening, they are also very drunk.

    Li Zhen and Li Yun stayed in Shanghai for three days. After their subordinates finished visiting Shanghai, Li Zhen told all his subordinates that they would build a huge kingdom overseas, and their royal capital would also be  It is a city more prosperous than Shanghai.  Although this is just a grand blueprint, it really inspires everyone's morale.

    After leaving Shanghai, Li Zhen and Li Yun's fleet headed south again, this time their destination was directly at Keelung, Taiwan, where Li Min was already waiting for these two younger brothers.  It is also worth mentioning that Wu Meiniang and her mother Yang also came with Li Zhen, but they don't know yet that Wu Meiniang has been waiting for them in Keelung eagerly.
