My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 310 Everything is settled, time to prepare for farming!
A truly impressive lineup!

Gao Yu treated everyone equally; he made a grand gesture when marrying Erzhu Yuechan, and he would make a grand gesture when marrying Yang Changchu as well.

As for the concubines, they were the bride's dowry.

Then there's no way.

This is usually a cousin or paternal relative of the bride.

The Yang family was once wealthy and prominent, and had connections not only with local families in Yanzhou, but also with many prominent families in the surrounding prefectures and counties.

Yang Kan's birth mother was from the Cui clan of Qinghe, and was called Cui Shenfei.

The intricate and closely intertwined relationships between aristocratic families are no joke... Their own families have branched out and are related to other families by marriage. If they really wanted to force a connection, they could always find a way to smooth things over.

Back inside the Tian Ce Mansion.

As Gao Yu's head steward, Liu Taozhi was responsible for recording the gift list. Looking at the various silks and satins, jewelry, gold and silver utensils, fine horses and jade on the list, she couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

Unfortunately, marrying two wives was already the limit for the young man.

If every woman the young master marries into the Tian Ce Mansion can be treated as a principal wife, then he will truly become rich!!

Why should Gao Yu worry about earning a little money and food?

The powerful families naturally couldn't lose face. Even though the local magnates weren't invited, they still had to put on a show and send generous gifts, otherwise wouldn't that be disrespectful to General Tian Ce?

One important message that Gao Yu's marriage in Qingzhou conveyed to the outside world was that he would settle down in Qingzhou in the future, and the Gao family, Gao Yu's branch, would flourish here.

Don't worry about what happens in the future.

For now, we should try to please Gao Yu first.

"Both mistresses brought generous dowries, causing many people to bleed money. After this, young master, you shouldn't have too much of a headache for a while, right?"

I wonder if the two mistresses will quarrel and cause chaos in the inner courtyard of Tian Ce Mansion?

My husband is not like Prince Fengyi, Changsun Zhi, who is afraid of his wife!
As veterans who had followed Gao Yu all the way, Liu Taozhi and the other guards had the most indescribable feelings at this moment. They had followed Gao Yu from humble beginnings, and now, seeing Gao Yu's power grow stronger and stronger, they, who were originally just slaves, had seen their status rise accordingly.

Even some powerful clans and declining noble families would try to win them over.

If they couldn't give the women of their tribe to Gao Yu, they could settle for giving them to the core military officers under Gao Yu's command. This way, they could ride on Gao Yu's coattails and get a share of the spoils in the future!

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

The door opened.

Who else but Gao Yu could be the one to open the door right now?

The footsteps grew closer, and Yang Changchu's heart pounded like a deer's. Nervously, she bit her lower lip and gripped the bedsheets tightly with both hands.

The concubines were still busy, and according to etiquette, they couldn't consummate their marriage right away.

It also requires going through a complicated process.

Even the final act of undressing was done by several concubines. When it came to the last step, the concubines all left the room, leaving the two protagonists of the night in privacy.

Yang Changchu tried hard to overcome his fear, but he immediately revealed his timidity as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice trembling slightly.

"Husband..."

Partly from nervousness, and partly from overwhelming joy, she burst into tears!

The thing she had been longing for had finally come true.

When Yang Changchu learned that Gao Yu had personally submitted a memorial requesting the emperor to grant them a marriage, he knew that Gao Yu had indeed not let him down.

Will this bring criticism to Gao Yu and damage his reputation?
definitely will.

But Gao Yu still did this for her, and that's enough.

Noticing Yang Changchu's excessive nervousness, Gao Yu chuckled and reassured him, "I'm not going to eat you, why are you so scared?"

"I'm not afraid... I'm happy."

Gao Yu hugged her, reached out to wipe away her tears, and kissed her again.

Gao Yu had only kissed this flower, without any further development. Now, with just a simple kiss, he could feel the girl in his arms trembling uncontrollably, her body temperature soaring.

Two clear tears streamed down the girl's face. She had lost the most precious thing, but she had also gained the most precious thing.

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

Two weddings.

Preparations began in July and were not completed until September!

The harvest was substantial; even if one spent the entire two months organizing production, it would be impossible to earn so much money and goods.

However, after the wedding was over...

Gao Yu can finally free up his hands now.

I need to get back to farming.

Having food in hand ensures peace of mind.

The appeasement policy of the past six months has made the powerful families and clans of Yan, Xu and Qing provinces lower their guard, and it is time for them to show their true colors!
Shandong is my homeland, so I must lay a solid foundation!
"In the name of the Tian Ce Prefecture, an order was issued to the counties of Yan, Xu, and Qing, instructing them to send able-bodied men from their jurisdictions to assist the Tian Ce Prefecture in suppressing bandits, starting with Qing Prefecture."

Within Qingzhou, when Xing Gao gathered a crowd to rebel, he claimed to have over 100,000 followers.

Even though many fled, and powerful families and clans absorbed some of them, there are still quite a few people who are essentially refugees.

People are the foundation of everything!

These are all your own 'household registrations'!
Under the guise of suppressing bandits, all these refugees were registered as ordinary citizens and made into registered households of the Tian Ce Prefecture.

at the same time……

His army also needed to expand.

He would definitely keep some of the able-bodied men drawn from various counties and prefectures to expand the army.

With a large enough army at his disposal, he would have the confidence to go after the powerful clans and families and take back all the unclaimed lands they had seized!
The immediate priority.

Once they have a large population and land, they can organize the displaced people in the name of the Tian Ce Mansion and start production.

This will ensure that Tian Ce Mansion has a stable source of income and gets back on track.

With sufficient income.

Only then could Gao Yu free up his hands to further expand the army and further improve and restore agricultural production.

"By the way, what about the matter I asked you to discuss before?"

"General, we need to discuss this further before we can reach a conclusion."

"Hurry! We've already been delayed for too long, we can't afford to delay any longer."

Gao Yu originally wanted people within the shogunate to set up the framework of the Fubing system for him. However, Gao Yu only had a general memory of the Fubing system and could only offer a general direction. The details would need to be discussed and explored by his administrative staff.

It's the same principle as when he made the suggestion to Jia Sixie.

He can guide people to achieve a breakthrough from zero to one.

but……

The accumulation from one to one hundred will depend on these people.

Gao Yu couldn't do it all himself!
After explaining everything.

Gao Yu stood before the map!

His gaze swept over Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou in turn!

This is also the order in which he intends to proceed.

First, we must completely control Qingzhou, then we'll start with Xuzhou. As for Yanzhou...

It can only be left for last, to be done slowly.

I hope to have more time so that I can calmly deal with any unexpected situations.
