The Spring Festival has just passed and there are two weddings to be busy with.
One is the wedding of Xu Ruoxin and Pan Xiaona.
As the younger sister of Princess Xia, Xu Ruoxin's marriage has attracted much attention.
The Pan family is one of the most wealthy families in the Xia Kingdom, with countless relatives and friends.
Such a wedding would naturally have to be a grand affair.
Anyway, the Pan family and the Xu family paid for it themselves and would not waste national resources. Zuo Mengeng had no reason to object.
Although the Pan family and the Xu family are both wealthy Songjiang families, Xu Ji and Pan Yunlong decided to hold the wedding in Jinan after discussion.
Firstly, Xu Ruoxin was working here and couldn't get away, making it difficult to return to Songjiang, which was thousands of miles away.
Secondly, Pan Xiaona happened to need to return to Jinan to report on his work, and the time came together.
Furthermore, it is impossible for Zuo Menggeng to go to Songjiang just because of a wedding. In that case, both of them would not be scolded enough.
Except for the wedding of Vivian Hsu and Pan Xiaona, there was another one that was even worse.
That is the marriage of Zuo Yong and Jin Qiurong.
This is not only a cross-border marriage, but also involves major political issues, so it must be very cautious.
The wedding of Xu Ruoxin and Pan Xiaona can only be regarded as a private matter, but this time the government will have to intervene.
"Because of General Zuo's status, is it necessary to build a separate mansion?"
At the ventilation meeting, Jiang Wei asked.
In normal times, if you are not in the army, you will most likely return to live in Prince Xia's Mansion if you enjoy glory, wealth, and eternal wealth.
But now that Zuo Yong is getting married, it is against the rules to still live in the palace.
Given his status, how to place him must be carefully discussed.
Zuo Mengeng was very generous to his brothers.
"Which place do you think is better? The government will buy it for you."
Although Zuo Yong has saved a lot of money for his own house over the years, land is at a premium in Jinan and it is not easy to buy a good place to build a house.
Since it was a brother's marriage and Zuo Mengeng took the lead, no one could say anything.
However, Zuo Yong made a surprising decision after thinking very carefully.
"The family home has suitable housing, which is enough to live in. There is no need to spend extra money."
Various departments in the Xia Kingdom will provide working residences for senior officials. The residences will be taken back when they are transferred or die.
This is also considered by many officials whose family wealth is not rich enough.
And many officials with wealthy backgrounds basically don't like to live in this kind of place.
After all, there are many restrictions on housing provided by the public.
Apart from anything else, it is difficult to accommodate all the family members in just one residential area.
For example, Hou Xun's family had a large population and numerous servants, so he built a separate residence in the city.
Of course Zuo Yong could do this, but he gave up and still chose to live in the compound.
If the houses provided by the government are compared with those of ordinary people, they are naturally very good.
At least a two-story building has an area of more than 200 square meters on each floor. It also comes with a very spacious yard and has all the functions.
But people are at different levels.
Rich families have no regard for such houses.
But Zuo Yong thought it was pretty good.
"We are just a husband and wife, and it is inconvenient to live in a house that is too big. Moreover, we have to consider security issues when living outside. It is not as familiar as living in a compound."
Zuo Yong is a general and deputy chief of staff. According to the rules, he must be assigned guards.
When in the army, there are always five guards following. If on the battlefield, it is a guard company.
After Jin Qiurong marries him, he will also be assigned three guards as a family member.
It seems like a lot, but if you buy a mansion outside alone, it will definitely not be enough.
At that time, it will be a huge expense to hire separate security personnel.
Zuo Yongyong could not afford the money, but as a soldier, his life was simple and he felt it was unnecessary.
After hearing what he said, everyone could only admire him.
After all, it is rare to find such a sentiment that you are willing to be mediocre when you can enjoy it.
Zuo Mengeng looked at him deeply and felt endless joy for this brother.
If you hold a high position and are self-respectful, self-reflective, and self-aware, Zuo Yong's future achievements will definitely be limitless.
"At the time of the wedding, there will be many visitors from North Korea, and it will be their first time. The cabinet must do a good job of receiving them."
Speaking of this, Hou Xun and others also became serious.
This time Jin Qiurong married into the Xia Kingdom, and was not only accompanied by Jin Yu and his family, but also many high-ranking North Korean officials such as Kim Sang-heon, Shen Yan, Song Si-yeol, and Jin Ji.
What's even more unexpected is that the princess whom Gwanghae-gun has found will also come as a representative of the Joseon royal family.
In other words, North Korea will actually take the opportunity of the wedding to complete its state visit to Xia Kingdom.
The term "state visit" was defined by Zuo Menggeng after North Korea reported it.
Everyone agrees with this definition and understands its meaning better.
North Korea is now deeply bound to Xia State, and they are almost indistinguishable from each other.
However, there are some fractures between the two countries, both at the top and among the people.
Especially among the top officials of North Korea, many people have only heard about Xia Guo and have never seen it with their own eyes.
Therefore, I cannot have a good understanding of many systems and policies of Xia Kingdom.
And this time, through a state visit, going deep into the Xia Kingdom to see with their own eyes will have a great impact on them.
Xia Guo naturally understands the benefits.
Under Zuo Mengeng's care, various preparations have begun.
We must let North Koreans take a good look at what an advanced political system and a prosperous country look like.
Jinan is beaming with joy, but the atmosphere above the sea is getting increasingly tense.
"Even if I throw the money into the sea, I won't give it to the Zheng family. Why do they raise the price just because they say it will?"
On a merchant ship drifting in the sea, Lin Jiahui spitted and had a firm attitude.
Although he is very young, he is already the owner of a merchant ship.
Since his father became ill in bed last year, he took over the job of running the boat and has been busy on the sea.
Thanks to the Xia Kingdom's enlightened trade policy, shipowners like them made a lot of money despite the ups and downs.
However, as a businessman who pays every penny, Lin Jiahui was furious when he learned that Zheng had raised the toll.
"Today the Zheng family can raise it by five hundred taels, and tomorrow they can raise it by one thousand taels. Over and over again, endlessly, all our hard-earned money will be robbed by them."
What he said was not unreasonable, but others were helpless.
"If we don't pay the toll, we won't be able to get across, so how can we sail?"
Amidst everyone's depression, Lin Jiahui smiled proudly.
"I saw a map when I was in school. If you want to go to Nanyang, you may not necessarily have to pass through the Zheng family's territory."
He opened the map in front of everyone and pointed to the sea south of Taiwan.
"Look, as long as you go around here, you can still reach Nanyang."
