Chapter 496: The Wedding Begins
People from outside didn't know what Zhang Yu was going to do, but the wedding was about to start, and the security in the city was relatively strict, so no one dared to make trouble at this time.
The wedding arrived as scheduled.
It happened to be the beginning of December at this time, and it didn't take long for another year to pass.
Within a few days, the Sheriff's Mansion has been decorated with lanterns and festoons, which is very festive.
With the experience of last time, Zhang Yu made full preparations for this big wedding, and arranged some banquets in various counties to invite the people of Jiangdong.
In addition, Zhang Yu also held a lot of banquets outside the city. Although it was just a simple meal with some wine, it could also express Zhang Yu's heart.
Asking Zhang Yu to treat him with rich food and wine, Zhang Yu can't afford it.
Everything is arranged properly, and the wedding officially begins.
The guests arrived one after another and all presented congratulatory gifts.
There were many people rushing to the wedding this time, besides the representatives of princes and families, there were also many people who came from all over the place spontaneously.
The people in Jiangdong were even more happy. When Zhang Yu held his first wedding, many people in Jiangdong spontaneously came to celebrate Zhang Yu.
It's the same this time, Zhang Yu didn't plan to make a big deal last time, and many people didn't know it, but this time Zhang Yu advertised that he was going to make a big deal.
Many people came to the county town early to celebrate Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu mobilized 30,000 troops to maintain order around.
The people did not crowd together this time, but expressed their blessings to Zhang Yu in various ways.
"Old Yu, it's New Year's Eve, you've bought so many things, and you still have a fish in your hand." In a village, a neighbor said to a middle-aged man.
"Hey, you're still talking about me. I saw your family killing chickens early in the morning."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang is getting married today. I heard that he has invited a lot of big shots. We can't make trouble for Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang has given us such a good life, so we must celebrate him no matter what."
"Get what you want."
Many people did not rush to the county seat of Kuaiji County to bless Zhang Yu, but held activities at home or in the village to bless Zhang Yu and the others.
In the main venue, the county town, it was very lively at this time.
In the afternoon, the wedding began, and this time it was very grand.
Departing from the county city to greet relatives, the team is very long, with thousands of people.
Both sides of the road have long been surrounded by people.
When the people saw Zhang Yu coming, they all cheered.
"Zhang Yu has such prestige among the people in Jiangdong." said a representative of the princes who came to watch the ceremony.
"No, at first I thought these people were specially arranged by Zhang Yu, but if you look at their expressions carefully, they don't look like them at all."
"It's terrible, Zhang Yu has such a high popularity."
"The hearts of the people are formidable. If these people are so supportive, wouldn't Zhang Yu be able to gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a short period of time?"
The princes look at the appearance, but think about the deep-seated things.
Some people of insight, seeing this situation, will inevitably think more.
Some merchants are different.
"These Jiangdong people are really rich, look at their clothes."
"The complexion of many people's faces is obviously different, at least they will have this complexion after eating meat."
"Jiangdong is a place where you can make a fortune."
Merchants seek profit. When they came, they inspected many places in Jiangdong and knew that the people here were rich and made money.
When they got together today, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion. If they had discovered that Jiangdong had a huge business opportunity, they would have killed them directly.
Many people have their own opinions, but it can be seen from it that the Jiangdong area has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Of course Sima Hui and Lord Pang De didn't go out with the team, and their identities didn't have to be like this. Of course, the people he brought didn't have to go with them to greet their relatives, but Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others took the initiative to follow.
On the way, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong followed from a distance, and both of them were watching.
"Shiyuan, the sages said that we should benefit the world, but there are a few people who have done it, but in Jiangdong,
Maybe some policies can do it. "Kong Ming said.
Pang Tong shook his head and said: "I'm not good at these internal affairs, but I think you should study hard in Jiangdong for a while. A few days ago, I saw some notes copied from Jiangdong College. The astronomy, geography and arithmetic on it are simply It is for military strategists."
In ancient times, who would specialize in learning these, military strategists were necessary first, and it is estimated that they were also the people who learned the most.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong observed carefully and raised some questions from time to time.
"There are rumors in the world that Zhang Yu is lustful, violent, and harsh to the common people, but seeing it is worth seeing once a hundred times. Let alone saying that he is lustful and not lustful, but he treats the common people better than anyone in the whole world." Zhuge Liang said.
"I haven't studied too much about others, but restricting land mergers and stipulating how much land each household can only own. These sages have done it, and it is indeed effective, but often it can only play a role for decades. After that, the dynasty still has to change because of the land. Destruction." Pang Tong said.
Zhuge Liang didn't continue talking, but thought for himself. He didn't understand many of Zhang Yu's policies, but there must be some reason for his ability to manage the place so well.
What he admired was Zhang Yu's development of agriculture.
Zhang Yu's investment is staggering. It takes a huge amount of money to distribute farm tools to each family. Although he will collect money for farm tools from the people in installments, it is also a huge investment.
In addition, building so many canals and waterwheels in the field also requires a lot of investment.
These investments are so incredible that even a powerful dynasty cannot do it.
With such an approach, the outside world also rumored that Zhang Yu was a digger, and the people were in dire straits.
Zhuge Liang withdrew his mind, as Pang Tong said, he needs to study hard in the Jiangdong area, and he can figure out many things.
Zhang Yu went to the academy to pick up Cai Yan, and then went back. On the way back, the people still stood on both sides of the road to bless him.
At this time in December, although it is in the south, the weather is still relatively cold, but the people did not leave because of the weather.
This moved Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu felt that he was worthy of them and would continue to let them live a better life.
Back at the Sheriff's Mansion, the wedding begins.
This time Lu Zhi hosted.
Underneath Liu Bei was arranged in a place far away, he looked at Lu Zhi eagerly, and really wanted to go up and call for a teacher.
This was his biggest purpose of coming to Jiangdong, but after a few days, this purpose was still unable to be achieved.
On the main venue, Zhang Yu arranged the representatives of the various princes and families in the front, while Liu Bei was not in the first echelon. Zhang Yu gave the representative of Xuzhou to Mi Zhu, deliberately ignoring Liu Bei.
This is not what Liu Bei wants, but there is no way, this is his territory, he can only find an opportunity to meet Lu Zhi.
