Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 380 Messenger

Nazheng is also commonly known as giving betrothal gifts.

Put it in the "six rituals", it is sent to the woman's home before the wedding date is agreed, and only after this step, the marriage is considered to be set.

"Repentance of marriage" in the official sense can only be regarded as repentance after "accepting the levy", otherwise the marriage contract has not yet been established in theory.

If we really want to be serious, the "recruitment" at this time, according to the rank of the princes, is red cloth, jade ornaments and carriages.

However, the white picture has been slightly changed. The red cloth is the increasingly popular Jiangdong brocade, the jade ornaments have been replaced with artificial colored glaze, the carriage has been replaced with a BMW engine, and a Fangtian painted halberd is also attached - this one is for The one for Lu Lingqi and the one for Lu Bu had been completed before.

These are tungsten steel weapons whose alloy ratio has been adjusted according to the user's habits. Their toughness and weight are suitable for the user while maintaining their hardness to the maximum extent.

After being loaded onto the battle armor, it surpasses the strengthening degree of any existing weapon!

Because mass production is not yet possible, Pang Tong and Yu Ji can only cooperate to "build" it by hand. Currently, there are less than twenty people qualified to order, and only single digits have been completed. Other generals have to wait for the progress of the Ministry of Industry...

In addition, the treasure that did not pull several cars could be regarded as playing a leading role. As for the magic weapon BMW... He is the Su Guard Chief, and this is considered a work item!

The treasures Lu Bu prepared are not a waste, they can be used as dowry when they get married.

Then came the "request period", and it was still the Taishi Ling who was responsible for calculating the date - Xu Rong was very grateful to Bai Tu, and this time there was no secret order for him to make any unreasonable demands...

This day was not calculated, but the "higher authority" had given instructions for her to calculate it.

Not only taking care of the ministers of Chu State, but also considering the schedule of envoys from other princes to congratulate, the date was finally set on April [-]th.

Bai Tu also felt that this was a good day - a day for officials from the six ministries to take a break, so they would not have to take leave to attend the wedding.

Because the news was released more than two months in advance, not only the gentry and common people of Chu State, but also the princes from all walks of life in the world, had envoys to come.

Bai Tu was worried that Gongsun Du would not be able to reach him because he was too far away, so he specially asked the Navy's trading fleet to pick him up...

And he called Sima Lang in advance and asked with concern: "Boda, I heard that your brother Zhongda is now under the command of Marquis Zheng? I wonder if you brothers will have a chance to meet each other during my wedding?"

At this time, Bai Tu also knew that Zhang Yan "kidnapped" Sima Yi.

"Back to your Majesty, the foreign minister has not received any letters from home recently, but I think my brother-in-law has limited mobility, so he probably won't come." Sima Lang replied seriously.

"That's such a pity." Bai Tu said regretfully.

Sima Lang noticed Bai Tu's regret, but he didn't know what Bai Tu was planning, especially...the rumors about Zhang Chunhua even made Sima Lang suspect that Bai Tu was looking for Sima Yi to humiliate him.

In April, guests began to gather in Jinling, especially Liu Yi, Gongsun Du's envoy. The navy went to pick him up before the "request period" - and also transported a batch of soldiers and armor for trading.

More than half a month in advance, Liu Yi came to congratulate Bai Tu with [-] horses besides the transaction.

It's worth it... Ahem, just come, why bring gifts?
Bai Tu severely criticized this behavior.

There are also old acquaintances, such as Jian Yong sent by Liu Bei and Liu Ye sent by Cao Cao. These are all old acquaintances, but Yang Feng, Zhang Yan, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and the emperor Liu who does not want to be named, the etiquette is just Not very thorough!

It's fine if Sima Yi didn't come, but they only sent a team of envoys as representatives?
There were a lot of people, the ceremony was grand, and they were swaggering along the way, but the gifts they brought were actually the least.

What's the difference between this and paying 100 yuan for a meal with the whole family?
Jian Yong specially paid a courtesy visit to Bai Tu once in advance, and bowed three times as soon as they met - the kind of person who bowed to him!

"Xianhe, what are you doing? This is too much of a courtesy. The subjects of Chu State don't need such etiquette." Bai Tu quickly stopped him.

Do you even wonder if there is a conspiracy?Are you trying to make up some dirty stuff to discredit me?

"This is not only a courtesy, but also the apology and gratitude from your lord and me." Jian Yong stood up with a normal expression and sat aside and said.

"Oh? What have you done to apologize to me?" Bai Tu was obviously in a good mood because he was about to get married, and he even joked.

"It is my fault to speculate selfishly on the King of Chu's idea of ​​serving the public wholeheartedly. The King of Chu can establish his trust in front of others with his eight policies, which has also benefited my lord a lot, so I naturally want to express my gratitude." Jian Yongzhong said peacefully. said.

"It's unworthy of me to serve the public wholeheartedly. If I achieve my goals and help the world, I've left enough 'benefits' for myself." Bai Tu said with a chuckle.

Eight strategies...

Except for the first one, who in future generations would dare to touch any of the following ones. Even if it is thousands of miles away, Bai Tu will... type on the keyboard to attack this shameless person!

Do you still dare to touch the national tax?Do you still dare to stipulate that money can be used to atone for sins?Do you still dare to support buying servants and not paying them wages?Measurement is the key, you say?Can you say that everyone is equal? …

"The King of Chu is indeed a sincere gentleman." Jian Yong complimented again.

"Oh? In that case... then Xuzhou can follow suit now. The Six Marquises of the Han Dynasty should still have some autonomy, right?" Bai Tu said encouragingly.

"The Duke of Zhou is a virtuous man, and so is Kong Sheng." Jian Yong said calmly.

It's just that Liu Bei has his own "virtue"... Since Jian Yong dared to say this, he naturally thought of how to deal with Bai Tu.

"Actually, I have an immature idea recently. In future trade, I will give more favorable trading conditions to the princes who share the spirit of Chu State. On the contrary... maybe I will impose restrictions. Ahem, this is just an idea. Since Liu Xuzhou and I are old friends, I just want to remind you." Bai Tu didn't dwell on the previous topic, but one sentence aroused Jian Yong's curiosity.

Not to mention Jingzhou, Yangzhou's current grain production is amazing, and...if the Chu State really has a truce for a few years, it is conceivable that it will become an important producer of grain and grass, not to mention soldiers, cloth, and salt. ...a series of hard currency production.

What does better deal mean?To what extent are restrictions imposed?
Unfortunately, Bai Tu stopped answering, and Jian Yong didn't know whether it was because the Chu State had not yet formulated a specific strategy, or because Bai Tu didn't want to tell him too much in advance.

Not long after Jian Yong left with worries, an urgent message came from Jiangling - urgent, but not urgent, just asking Jinling to be prepared.

The envoy from the Marquis of Shu has also entered Jingzhou along the river, passed through Yiling, and rushed to Jiangling. After reading the letter, Bai Tu was very interested in the candidate for the envoy from the Marquis of Shu - Zhang Song!
