Li You married Cui Xiu Niang, which should be the only way to save Cui Xiu Niang at this time. If Li You married Cui Xiu Niang, it means that when Li You rescued Cui Xiu Niang, Cui Xiu Niang must be intact.

After all, no man would marry someone who had been defiled by the water bandits. In this way, Cui Xiuniang's rumors would be self-defeating.

Secondly, Li You married Cui Xiuniang, and Cui Xiuniang was willing to do so, and she would not have such strong resistance. Finally, as long as Li You married Cui Xiuniang, the alliance between Cui family and Li You would be closer.

Cui Changshun knelt to the end at Li You and begged for his daughter to have a way out. Li You really wanted to not agree.

In the end, Li You had to agree, to be honest, but he was so happy that he rushed to the Xu family and hugged his daughter and started crying. Seeing that his father was crying like this for the first time, Cui Xiuniang chose to forgive her father.

It was just that his father forgave it, but Cui Xiuniang did not forgive his family. Since then, Cui Xiuniang has never returned to the Cui family. Fortunately, her mother and father often go to Dunhuafang.

When Cui Mingan, Cui Xiuniang's grandfather, died, Cui Xiuniang did not even go back. It can be imagined how deeply Cui Xiuniang hated the Cui family.

....................................................

"Ah... I got married... I got married..." The group of children cheered.

Three days later, Bianzhou held a wedding for Li You and Cui Xiuniang. The only Cui Changshun in the Cui family was Cui from the Xu family. Cui Xiuniang was taken to the Bianzhou Governor's Mansion from the Xu family.

Cui Xiuniang recognized Xu Yi's uncle as her adoptive father, and then got married from the Xu family.

Xu Yi's uncle was also very interested. For the sake of his newly recognized goddaughter, he gave a large amount of dowry and almost half of the Xu family was taken out, making this wedding grandeur, no lower than that of Cui Xiuniang getting married from the Cui family in Boling.

Cui Changshun expressed his gratitude to the Xu family, but what Xu Yi's uncle did not expect was that he had paid half of the Xu family's family's assets this time, and then Li You actually gave half of the dowry he was preparing to give to the Cui family.

A bicycle...thirty bottles of perfume...ten crystal jewelry...a bell that is one meter high...three watches...one hundred crystal beads...and wait...the Xu family calculated this half of the betrothal gift, at least 100,000 guan.

More importantly, these things are hard to come by. You don’t know that when Xu Nian rode a bicycle and a watch every day, how many people in Bianzhou were greedy and drooling down.

But even if these people want to buy it, they are priceless, because even Chang'an has no bicycles, and there are only five bicycles a month. The princes and nobles in Chang'an broke their heads by robbing them. How could it be their turn?

Later they also thought about making it themselves, but the bicycle looked simple, but if they really wanted to make it, they couldn't make it just for springs. Li You's things were directly entered the market in Bianzhou in advance, and then they also made their reputation in Jiangnan. Later, it was natural for Li You's things to enter Jiangnan because they had been waiting for it for a long time.

In this way, Li You and Cui Xiuniang became a kiss. That night, Quan Zhixi and others did not disturb the couple. Li You and Cui Xiuniang snuggled together and looked at the pair of red candles in the room.

"I really didn't expect that after going around, I'll marry you." Cui Xiuniang smiled shyly.

"Didn't you feel wronged?" Li You touched Cui Xiuniang's hair with her hands.

"Of course not...what am I. If it weren't for you, my best result now would be suicide... Put some hearts of the Cui family." Cui Xiuniang curled her lips slightly.

"Don't say that... If you always do this, your father will feel uncomfortable. He actually loves you very much."

"I know...my mother, my father, and my brothers all love me. This is also the reason why I don't turn against the Cui family. However, I will never go back to the Cui family again.

My Cui Xiu Niang, I am your Li You's man in life, and your Li You's ghost in death, so, Youlang, you must treat me well... Even if I wait until I am old, don't dislike me." Cui Xiu Niang leaned in Li You's arms with some dependence.

"Tell you the truth. Actually, when I saw you the first time I saw you, I already liked you?" Li You smiled slightly.

"Really or not?" Cui Xiuniang struggled out of Li You's arms and said, "Then why didn't I know? If I had known it before, I might have been the princess."

"Haha..." Li You smiled: "It's really possible, but it's not realistic. After all, you are the legitimate daughter of the Cui family in Boling. What am I? I am still a prince without a title and can't stand you."

"Hey... I'm also blaming me. At that time, I only knew how to play, but I didn't know about love at all. If it were now, hum..." Cui Xiuniang slightly raised her nose.

"What's wrong with you now?" Li You looked at Cui Xiuniang with a funny look and asked.

Cui Xiuniang suddenly changed her eyes and showed a charming expression and said, "Of course it's tempting you... It makes you never want to leave me!" After that, Cui Xiuniang threw Li You down directly.

"Ah...female hooligan." Li You shouted, then there was no sound, and the spring dream was gone for a night without trace.

...................................................................

Just when Li You was wedding in Bianzhou, Li Chengqian had already made all the preparations in Chang'an. In three days, Li Chengqian would attack Li Shimin's Jiucheng Palace.

Now, 50 miles from Li Shimin's 90th century palace, Hou Junji and other troops loyal to Li Chengqian have gathered. These people are commanded by Hou Junji's name, including Li Chengqian's army, but what Hou Junji did not expect was that Yin Hongzhi was behind him at this moment.

What Hou Junji had always thought was that after taking Li Shimin, he would take the soldiers back to Chang'an and then take Li Chengqian down directly. In Hou Junji's heart, Li Chengqian was his pawn.

Little did they know that it was Hou Junji himself who was the real chess piece.

Yin Hongzhi secretly prepared 10,000 people, and together with Li Chengqian's hidden soldiers, he waited for Hou Junji to succeed, rushed over and killed Hou Junji, and then blamed Hou Junji for the crime of killing the king.

Li Chengqian is not a fool. He actually saw through Hou Junji, but Hou Junji did not see through Li Chengqian. Hou Junji was too arrogant and always looked up to the top, thinking that he was so amazing that he had destroyed a country.

This is a fatal weakness of Hou Junji.

...................................................................

Jiucheng Palace... On the day of the summer, the temperature is averaged 21.8 degrees. The breeze is gentle and fragrant, refreshing. Li Shimin sat in a courtyard. There is also a small pond in a corner of the courtyard. There are several lotus leaves on the pond. The lotus is about to bloom, and a few dragonflies stand on the lotus.

Li Shimin took a sip of ice water leisurely and smiled: "You'er is really amazing."

"What's wrong?" Changsun Wuji, who was on the side, heard Li You's name and immediately became interested in asking Li Shimin.

At this time, Li Shimin smiled and replied: "You'er was sent by Chengqian to Bianzhou to suppress the water bandits. It has already achieved initial results and has wiped out the largest water bandits in Bianzhou.

And You'er submitted a letter to me and wanted to set up a yamen for the Maritime Warehouse... Come on... Wuji, Ma Zhou... You all come and take a look. Can this Maritime Warehouse be done?"

After saying that, Li Shimin gave Li You's watch in his hand to Changsun Wuji and others for browsing. After everyone finished reading one by one, Ma Zhou was the first to say with some joy: "The Maritime Bureau of His Highness King Qi is really a stroke of magic. It can use the taxes of water merchants to strengthen the water power of our Tang Dynasty.

It is really a good way to go once and for all. I think I should agree with His Highness King Qi’s statement...!"

"But... I just don't know if these ten draws are too high." Cen Wenben said slightly: "You must know that many passenger ships are among the tribes of Jiangnan clans. Your Highness comes up with one draw. What should we do if those big families are unwilling to hand over?"

"Why don't you want to pay it?" Changsun Wuji snorted: "We all know that these cargo ships are very profitable. As long as you transport the goods back and forth, you can earn several times the difference.

Many people like to sell secretly and do not pay taxes to the court at all. Now there is a yamen who specializes in this matter. I think it is a good thing, and ten taxes and one should be worth it.

After all, our navy army wants to protect their safety. If we don’t give it, the cargo of the entire ship will be robbed, and then they will suffer.”

Changsun Wuji was very unhappy with the guys who evade taxes. After all, taxes are very important, and any dynasty has strictly controlled taxes. Why? This is the lifeline of the country.

Once there are too many people who evade taxes, the tax will not be collected. If the taxes are not good, the soldiers on the border will be hungry and cannot create good bows and arrows. The troops in the front can only be hungry and hold the broken copper and iron. Who can they beat?

These cargo ships often evade taxes, find a secret place to unload the goods, and secretly transport them to Chang'an without passing through the government, which can save a lot of taxes. More importantly, the navy during the Zhenguan period was really not good, and sometimes they were helpless about such tax evasion.

When Changsun Wuji was in the Ministry of Revenue, he thought about attacking, but because the navy was not good, he returned empty-handedly every time, so Changsun Wuji hated these cargo ships to the core.

At this time, Changsun Wuji bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, the establishment of the Maritime Manufacturing Department is definitely a good thing for us. The difference that these cargo ships can earn is very high, and no one will object to the ten taxes.

As long as the Maritime Bureau can be on track, perhaps our court can collect more taxes. Even if it cannot collect more, it can improve the combat effectiveness of our navy. This is also very good. If you don’t spend a little bit of the court, you can improve our navy. Why not do it?"

"Haha..." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Wuji, you and I thought about it together. I thought about it for a while and found that this Maritime Bureau did not harm our court at all. I was going to let You'er go and do it. If you can't make it, you'll be fine if you can't get it back to its original state.

We have nothing to lose...!"

"Your Majesty is wise..." The ministers nodded together.

"Everyone agrees?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "Then I will issue an order. The Maritime Bureau will be formed by Li You. It must be completed before returning to Beijing."
Chapter completed!
