A moment later, Ma Yunlu was led by Ma Chao to the main hall. After some greetings, Jia Rong was able to take a closer look at Ma Yunlu, a person who could make the famous warriors under his command fascinated.
She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her every move reveals a touch of heroism. At a glance, people can tell that she is a martial arts practitioner.
"Miss Ma is indeed extraordinary. There are no weak girls in Humen." Jia Rong sighed.
Ma Teng echoed again and again. His daughter can be praised by Jia Rong, which shows that the marriage with Zhao Yun is still a drama. His family knows his own family and his daughter's character. Ma Teng knows better than anyone else. She is stubborn and does not listen to her parents' orders many times.
He tried to introduce people to her, but she drove him away. This was definitely not the way to go, and he might become the laughing stock of Chang'an. With Jia Rong personally acting as a matchmaker, Ma Yunlu would probably be more obedient.
"What about General Zhao?" Jia Rong turned his attention to Ma Teng.
Seeing that Jia Rong was more anxious, Ma Teng also looked at Ma Yunlu and said with a smile: "Yunlu, you are not young anymore. Now the general has come to visit in person and wants to arrange a marriage for you. Why don't you thank the general quickly?"
.”
Ren Ma Yunlu was usually quite forthright, but when she suddenly heard such news in front of everyone, her face instantly turned red. After a moment of silence, she said: "Father, my daughter hasn't thought about it yet."
Not only Ma Teng, but also Ma Chao on the side was a little anxious. He also knew something about his sister's character.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Miss Ma, General Zhao Yun is a famous general in the army. He has not married yet, and his martial arts skills are rare in the army. What do you think?"
Ma Teng glanced at his daughter's face and thought to himself, "It's not good. After several experiences of introducing people to Ma Yunlu, she was going to get angry." Ma Teng was also quite helpless about his daughter. She had been favored at home since she was a child.
, cannot be beaten or scolded.
"Don't say what kind of general he is, no matter how high-ranking he is."
Ma Teng hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ma Yunlu's tendency to continue speaking. He cupped his fists at Jia Rong and said, "General, please wait a moment. Let me persuade my daughter."
Jia Rong nodded, knowing that this kind of thing should not be rushed. At the same time, he also admired Ma Yunlu's character. She could openly resist her father's orders and still maintain her true heart in front of the general. Such a woman did not owe Zhao Yun any favors.
, don’t talk about others, your own wives all have their own personalities.
"Father, my daughter doesn't want to marry General Zhao." Ma Yunlu said dissatisfied.
Ma Teng advised: "Yunlu, you are not young anymore. General Zhao is Zhao Yun. You must have heard something about him. He is a famous brave general in the army. He still has no wife. He is a subordinate of the general.
A capable general."
"I think it's not for me, but for the Ma family, right? When has a father ever cared about his daughter's feelings?" Ma Yunlu said.
Ma Teng was furious. After such persuasion, Ma Teng tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. "How old are you? You are still so disobedient. Be careful. I will lock you in the house and prevent you from going out. If you hadn't carried me on your back that day."
If you go to a restaurant, there will be nothing like General Zhao, huh."
Ma Chao, who hurried over, also advised from the side: "Sister, General Zhao Yun is very good, you should think about it carefully."
Ma Yunlu saw that she was disobedient for a moment, and snorted coldly: "General Zhao, doesn't he claim to be a fierce general in the army? If she can defeat me, I will marry him."
Afraid that Ma Teng would say something again, Ma Chao hurriedly agreed: "That's it, I will mention this to the general later."
After Jia Rong heard Ma Yunlu's request, he nodded in agreement. If Zhao Yun couldn't even surrender to Ma Yunlu, there would be no need to talk about marriage anymore.
Zhao Yun was extremely concerned about Ma Yunlu's matter. Seeing that Jia Rong acted vigorously and resolutely, and completed 70% to 80% of the matter, he was very moved.
"Zilong, you have to practice martial arts diligently after you return. This general has decided to set up an arena in the city. Don't embarrass yourself in front of everyone." Jia Rong patted Zhao Yun's shoulder meaningfully and said.
Zhao Yun hurriedly said yes. Although he had never seen such an engagement method, he trusted Jia Rong in his heart and believed that he would never cheat him.
The bank provided great convenience to the merchants in the city. Gradually more merchants joined in. All kinds of trade existed in Chang'an City. It was simply a paradise for merchants. There was no need to worry about forced buying or selling.
If you are worried about being extorted by officials, you only need to pay the taxes that are due on time.
It was much faster to use banknotes. Since the General Mansion sent soldiers to arrest merchants who did not accept banknotes with force, banknotes gradually became common in the city.
Seeing that the situation was good, Jia Rong began to promote banks in other places under the rule of the Xiliang Army. As for implementing it in the entire Han Dynasty, it was not necessary for a while. The hearts of the princes were unpredictable, not to mention that Jia Rong had limited knowledge and did not know the banking system.
What loopholes exist need to be improved through continuous implementation, and finally promoted, which is the kingly way. Jia Rong does not want to cause a financial crisis because of the bank, which would be more gain than loss.
With Xianlian Pavilion's power in the Han Dynasty, it was easy to set up a bank.
In the General's Mansion, officials headed by Jia Xu proposed the matter of Jia Rong being crowned king. Now under the rule of the Xiliang Army, normal development has gradually returned to normal. Many things can develop smoothly only with the efforts of officials, like Jiangdong.
Sun Ce only had a few counties in his hands to be crowned king. Liu Biao of Jingzhou also became king of Jing. And Jia Rong's strength, looking at the entire Han Dynasty, is the pinnacle of existence. The position of general is indeed a high-ranking official.
, but at this time there is no emperor in the world, and the generals have become nothing but decorations. They can only fool ordinary people. After becoming king, it means that the Xiliang army has completely separated from the Han royal family, and someone named Liu has been elected again.
As the emperor, Jia Rong could openly disobey orders. After so many years of development, everyone was united and the people surrendered. Many people only knew Jia Rong, but not the Han Emperor. After they had no food and clothing, and after the snowstorm collapsed their houses, not a single grain was left.
It was the soldiers who saved them the food from the imperial court, the simple wooden houses, and the bowl of hot rice that made them burst into tears of gratitude. These actions earned Jia Rong a lot of fame invisibly.
Naturally, Jia Rong had to show humility and refused one after another. Finally, he couldn't resist and agreed. This was also a kind of etiquette in ancient times. Before the meeting, Jia Xu had already discussed it with Jia Rong in detail.
After becoming the king of Liang, Jia Rong rewarded all his officials and announced it to the world.
Jia Rong proclaimed himself king, which did not cause any big commotion in the world. Cao Cao was already the Duke of Wei, and I am afraid that the next step would be the King of Wei. There are already several princes in the world who have proclaimed themselves kings, and it doesn't matter if there is just one more like Jia Rong.
Of course, there must be some Confucian scholars who would stand up and criticize him. When everyone in the world criticized him, Jia Rong didn't back down, let alone the gentle breeze and drizzle. He didn't care anymore.
After being crowned king, he naturally has to care about his words and deeds. After all, he represents the entire Xiliang Army. Jia Rong suddenly had a headache. What he hated most was the set of red tape. Even the officials in Chang'an mostly started from humble beginnings and cared about these very much.
, one after another advised Jia Rong, and the ceremony of proclaiming the king was also very complicated.
It was approaching the New Year, and Jia Rong scheduled the match between Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu after the new year, planning to hold a grand event in the city to add a touch of joy to the new year.
A three-meter-high arena was set up in the city. It was in a bustling area and was the easiest to attract people's attention. As soon as the notice came out, the whole Chang'an was slightly excited. There was a contest to recruit a bride, and the speaker was a woman, which made people even more curious.
People in this era lack leisure life. In the past, they were too poor and didn’t think much about it. Now that they have extra money, they naturally want to make life more interesting, just like people wandering around the city when they have nothing to do.
I feel anxious if I don’t spend the money in my hands.
The crowds of common people, businessmen and officials were bustling around, and the nearby restaurants were already overcrowded. Of course, the prices of drinks and meals had also been increased appropriately, and even a seat had a fixed price.
Jia Rong sat in a seat specially arranged by Chang'an officials, surrounded by guards who looked at him with eager eyes, looking around vigilantly, for fear that something bad might happen to Jia Rong.
With a light and graceful figure, Ma Yunlu stepped onto the ring with a beautiful posture. On the ring, Zhao Yun was already waiting with a gun.
In order to dress Zhao Yun more stylish, Jia Rong ordered Zhao Yun to make a suit of bright silver armor and a white cloak. In addition, Zhao Yun's appearance is already handsome. Just standing up like that, he may have seduced many people.
Girl's feelings.
"Miss Ma." Zhao Yun Bingbing said politely, cupping her fists.
"Is it you?" Ma Yunlu asked. She really didn't expect that the person who was going to marry her would actually be the person she had fought with in the restaurant. He still had a certain impression of Zhao Yun. He was good at martial arts, good-looking, and he relied on his clothes and horses.
By the saddle, after Jia Rong's dressing up, Zhao Yun in front of him is indeed elegant and eye-catching.
"If you want to marry me, it depends on whether you have the ability. In the restaurant that day, there was a lot of inconvenience in the fight. Today, I have to learn a lesson." Ma Yunlu snorted coldly, but in fact, she was heartbroken when she saw her.
Zhao Yun was very excited when she was married. Although she was bold, her number of men she came into contact with was still very limited.
"Let's take action." Zhao Yun inserted the spear in his hand and pulled out the sword from his waist.
Ma Yunlu was not polite. She kicked her foot and rushed towards Zhao Yun like an arrow from the string.
There were bursts of shouts from the people below. Most of the women I saw were polite and courteous. How could Ma Yunlu be as cheerful as she came? The sword came up when she went up, which gave people a different feeling.
Many people even secretly cheer for Ma Yunlu. Men in this era are very strong, and men sometimes have overflowing compassion and take care of the weak.
"Thank you so much, Prince Jiang Liang, for worrying about my little girl's brother."
Jia Rong followed the sound and saw that it was Zhao Yu. He smiled and said, "Yu'er, there's no need to be polite."
