203 The mountain is hired

The princes and noble ladies chatted and laughed at the banquet, and the cups and cups intertwined.

Shen Dafu just watched coldly, only drank white water, didn't taste any dishes, and didn't drink any wine. He was afraid that once he tasted Xiao Hunhou's wine and food, he accidentally came to the saying, intoxicated, and could not extricate himself.

This is a bad habit passed down from generation to generation in the Hunhou Mansion. The next generation is more luxurious than the previous generation, and the Shen family cannot get involved.

Wasn't Hunhou's Mansion defeated by Xiao Hunhou... In a blink of an eye, he came to the door to marry into the Pingwang Mansion and began to defeat the Pingwang Mansion.

The Pingwang Mansion is now in glory. It is estimated that after 10 or 20 years, when King Xiaoping becomes an adult, he will be as down and out like the Hunhou Mansion.

The Shen family is known as the richest man in Jinling, but they can't help but loser.

Prince Xiang Tiange held the chopsticks and looked hesitant.

Every dish was fragrant, and the wine in the cup was so delicious that it was many times better than the East Palace's meal, but he didn't dare to put on chopsticks again.

The emperor's faint eyes swept over from time to time, clearly warning him to eat less and make the prince's heart feel cold.

The prince was sad and silently chewed in his heart, and could only eat with white rice.

Well, I won’t eat anything, just eat white rice.

White rice doesn't cost a few copper plates.

...

Emperor Xiang Yanran's face was deserted.

He did not like extravagance and squandering. In addition to the several palace banquets every year, he usually had a frugal diet and clothing.

If the palace dared to be so extravagant, I'm afraid there were countless people who wanted to be the heads.

This engagement feast, glass treasures, various wines and dishes, is expected to cost 100,000 taels of silver.

He was not very happy to see the banquet held so luxuriously.

But today is the engagement banquet between the Prince Ping's Mansion and the Marquis Mansion of Hun, so he can't help but lose face.

However, the prince must be strictly controlled and eat lightly every day. He must not be as extravagant as the little husband and become the tyrant king of the Great Chu.

Prince Xiang Tiange's eyes were slightly red, and he picked up the wine glass, "Sister Yu'er, you are engaged to Xiaohunhou today. My brother has no money, and there is no good things to give to you and Xiaohunhou. I can only wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years and another big gift if you have the chance to make up for it in the future.

By the way, Sister Yu'er, Xiao Hunhou, have you prepared the betrothal gifts and dowry? If there is not enough gold, silver and jewelry, I will give you a shameless face to ask your father and grandmother. This wedding must be held in a grand manner! It cannot be worse than my sister, Princess Xiang Ling's marriage."

"Well, although Li Yu is the princess, as the only daughter of King Ping, this wedding should be held at the level of a prince and a princess!"

The emperor couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this.

The Emperor, King Peace, was a sworn brother and had a very deep relationship. The prince suggested that the specifications of the wedding be handled at the level of the princess, which was not beyond the reach.

For the Ping Prince's Mansion, this is also a show of grace and courtesy for the royal family.

Otherwise, he would not have had to come and prove his marriage to Li Yu and Xiao Hunhou in person.

"Yes, but I don't know what the betrothal gift Princess Danyang gave to Xiaohunhou?"

"Xiao Hunhou, what do you plan to bring to your door?"

The guests started to clamor and said with a smile.

This son-in-law from Dachu, like ordinary marriages, has bride price and dowry. It’s just that the men and women exchanged identities.

"The two governments have been engaged, and they have vowed each other and never regretted it."

Li Yu looked at Chu Tianxiu and said affectionately: "I will use the mountain as a betrothal gift.

There is a Ma'anshan iron mine in Danyang County where my fief is located. I use this mountain as a betrothal gift to welcome Xiaohunhou to pass by!"

All the kings and guests were moved.

Ordinary kings and princes and family marriages are gifted with gold, silver, jewelry, and acres of land and other wealth.

But she took the mountain as a betrothal gift!

What a great courage, what a great deal!

Although Princess Danyang is a woman with a bold and courageous mind, it is beyond the reach of ordinary men.

He is worthy of being the daughter of King Ping, and is very comparable to an ordinary woman.

"Your Majesty, you are the witness, and you have to testify for your ministers. This iron mine in Danyang County is mine, and no one can take it away!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled at the emperor.

After the implementation of the "Plan forbidden Private Crushing of Coins", the next two major industries that the court would take over to the official business must be salt and iron.

Although there was no news yet, Sang Hongyang had submitted countermeasures during the palace examination.

Chu Tianxiu was worried that once the "Salt and Iron Official Camp" was implemented, the steelmaking industry in Danyang County would be taken over by the court, and this newly sprouted large industry would immediately come to an abrupt end.

We must think of a way in advance to let the emperor have a golden mouth.

"Um!"

Emperor Xiang Yanran thought about it for a moment and nodded, "I will testify to you. Princess Danyang's Masan Iron Mine is yours, and there is no repentance!"

The reason why he hesitated was that in the imperial examination, Sang Hongyang's "Salt and Iron Official Camp", Dongguo Xiangyang's "Salt and Iron Official Camp" and Dongguo Xiangyang's "Salt and Iron Ceremony" analyzed in detail the pros and cons of the official and private sectors on salt and iron.

He was considering the official business of salt and iron. When the time was right, he would gather all the salt and iron all over the world to increase the income of the treasury.

but.

There are so many iron mines in the world.

An iron ore in a mere county is given to Xiaohunhou.

It doesn't matter if you make an exception.

Xiaohunhou did a lot of things for the Great Chu Dynasty, just treat it as a reward.

"Little Hunhou, the princess has a betrothal gift, what about your dowry?"

The emperor asked with a smile.

"Since it's a vow, I'll make this wedding. Yu'er gave me a mountain, and I'll give it back to the sea! On the day of the wedding, I'll give her a sea."

Chu Tianxiu pondered.

"Is there a sea in the fief of the Hunhou Mansion?"

The emperor puzzled the ministers.

The land that Taizu enfeoffed was for too long, and he forgot where he was. Could it be that the fief of the Hunhou Mansion was next to the beach?

The princes and ministers shook their heads one after another.

Whose fiefdom has a sea?!

If you are next to the beach, most of them are wastelands and saline-alkali lands, and they are not very rich.

"As far as I know, there is no. Since it is the sea, it must be extremely vast. It is less than a thousand miles, and it is not a small pond or a small lake.

"The Book of Songs: Beishan" says, "All under the sky is the king's land. In the four seas, there are all kingly ministers."

The Central Plains are all kingly lands. The Middle Earth, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea are unparalleled, but they are vast and vast... Xiao Hunhou wanted to marry a sea, which was a little trouble. He said it was his sea, but no one would admit it!"

Wang Su shook his head and said.

Xiao Hunhou said that Donghai belongs to him, which fisherman would take care of Xiao Hunhou?

This is pure bragging.

"Mr. Xiao Hun, this East China Sea and South China Sea, which sea do you like and want to give it to Princess Danyang?

But this sea is not under my jurisdiction, so I can't help you! You can't ask me to give you a sea."

Emperor Xiang Yanran shook his head and laughed.

The territory of the Great Chu Dynasty did not include the sea.

The Qin Emperor sent Xu Fu out of the East China Sea to Penglai Fairy Island to seek immortal pills. The silhouette of smoke and waves are hard to find, and the boundless...

There is no side, let alone who is the master of the sea.

In short, this sea is nothing to touch.

He just took it as a joke.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. When the wedding day is over, I will personally go and get a sea as a gift to Yu'er!"
