Huang Xie had no choice but to recruit some new people to farm the land. There were many people in Chu State, so if you didn't do it, someone would do it.
Another bad news is that the King of Chu still has no children, and the image of the wise and powerful King before has begun to collapse visibly. It is getting worse day by day, and is replaced by an image of the King of Chu who is decadent, helpless, and self-destructive.
If this continues, it won't be long before the King of Chu is completely reduced to a waste.
Huang Xie and Zhuang Xin were so anxious that they not only invited a miracle doctor to treat the King of Chu, but also invited many big men like Gan Mao who were still able to give birth to sons for decades to teach the King of Chu their experience, hoping to have an effect.
The effect is also very obvious. The king of Chu took advantage of the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and learned more and more tricks.
The Yue Kingdom has almost unified Baiyue in the southeast, and only the last two forces are still resisting. The King of Yue is getting closer and closer to reviving the Yue Kingdom.
Yuan Hua was still on the mission of destroying countries in Yingzhou. At first, he would count how many countries he had destroyed in total, but later he didn't bother to count.
Handan also became lively. After all, this was the wedding of the younger generation leader of the Zhao Kingdom to the sister of the King of Zhao. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, they had to send a gift. Even the Six Kingdoms sent people to send gifts to congratulate them.
There were constant sounds of ceremony and music inside and outside the Li family's house, and firecrackers that even the King of Han could not afford were set off for free. A large group of children ran around like crazy, picked up the failed firecrackers on the ground, and then secretly found a place to put them away.
.
Usually they don't have this opportunity. Their parents are very strict with them. Only at this time can they relax.
"Long time no see." Zhao Miao and Feibian walked in with a box in one hand and a jar of wine in the other. Li Mu hurriedly greeted them.
The three of them have known each other since they were young and have a good relationship, but Zhao Miao and Feipang never expected that Li Mu could reach this level.
"Come in quickly." Li Mu said with cupped hands. If the two of them hadn't introduced him to Zhao Kuo, he might still be guarding the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang. "We brothers will have a few drinks later."
"And me." Meng Wu came over and punched Li Mu in the chest. Of course, he didn't use any force. "There's nothing to give. After thinking about it, you don't lack anything, so I'll give you a sword."
I made it with my own hands.”
A gentleman wears a sword, there is nothing to say.
Whether it is used or not is one thing, but whether it is worthy or not is another matter.
Of course, the swords during the Warring States Period were not only decorations, but also important weapons. Everyone from the king to the commander-in-chief, down to the ordinary soldiers, wore swords.
"Thank you very much." Li Mu said with clasped fists, and personally sent Meng Wu inside.
"Here, I didn't want to give it as a gift, but after all, it's your wedding, it only happens once in your life, so it wouldn't be appropriate not to give it as a gift." Le Yi and Tian Dan also came over.
As elders, the gifts were much more casual. One gave me a pair of jade pendants, and the other a book.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Du Ping." Li Mu said gratefully.
He has always considered Le Yi and Tian Dan as his teachers. Without their careful guidance, he would have taken many detours and it would be difficult for him to achieve what he has achieved today at this age.
"And mine." Lian Po was carrying two jars of wine in one hand and two rhino horns in the other.
"These are the land deeds and land deeds for some shops. Your family is not from Handan. In Handan, except for a house, there is no land or land, but a big family always has expenses." Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao were carrying a basket of wooden things.
The land deeds and land deeds came up. These were made before and before they had time to be replaced, the land deeds and land deeds made in the past two years have been replaced by paper ones.
"Thank you Lord Pingyuan, Lord Pingyang." Li Mu said gratefully, he indeed needed these things more.
The Li family of Zhao State actually originated from the State of Qin. Li Mu's grandfather Li Tan was a Situ of the State of Qin, and Li Mu's father Li Ji was a Taifu of the State of Qin, both of whom were high-ranking officials.
Later, Li Ji felt that being an official in the Qin State was too dangerous, and it was difficult to get along without telling anyone. Even if he got in, there would be no good end, so he ran away and came to the Zhao State.
At that time, the relationship between Qin and Zhao had deteriorated, so Zhao did not trust Li Ji and therefore did not give him any importance.
Maybe this is also the reason why King Zhao would be suspicious of Guo Kai's false accusation against Li Mu and Sima Shang's collusion with Qin in history.
In short, although Li's family is well-educated, he is not rich and needs money very much.
Not long after, Xunzi and Zhao Kuo came in with congratulatory gifts and documents. In this case, the host is usually given to a person with high moral character and respect. The older the better.
It was originally given to Le Yi, but Le Yi felt that the wedding was a big day after all, and it would be better to leave it to a literati than to be hosted by a military general, so he gave it to Xunzi.
Although it was unavoidable to pay homage to Zhao Kuo, everyone returned to their seats as Zhao Kuo said goodbye. After all, the protagonist today is Li Mu.
After everyone was seated, Li Mu, dressed in a Zhu Tong-colored robe with wide sleeves, slowly led Zhao Tong inside. The sound of bells and firecrackers also sounded outside.
"When the peach is born, its flowers are burning, and when the son returns, it is suitable for his family..." Xunzi held the congratulatory message and read it slowly.
Everything was carried out according to the procedure. After drinking the Hexin wine, Li Mu sent Zhao Tong into the inner room and came out to greet the guests.
Seeing Li Mu coming out, the young men led by Meng Wu and Feng Wuze rushed forward with a wine jar in one hand and a large bowl in the other. The elders had to worry about it, but they wouldn't.
When Meng Wu got married, Li Mu and others encouraged him a lot. At that time, Meng Wu had just entered Zhao and didn't understand anything. He thought the Zhao country was like this, so he didn't dare to offend anyone, so he kept drinking to everyone who came.
In the end, Tian Dan couldn't stand it anymore and asked his son and Zhong to step forward to help Meng Wu ward off a lot of wine, otherwise Meng Wu might not even be able to find the bridal chamber that night.
"Drink!" Meng Wu threw the bowl aside. This thing was just to make Li Mu relax his vigilance. Then he directly put the left-hand wine jar into Li Mu's hand, then hugged the right-hand wine jar and started drinking.
"It's almost done, it's all done." Zhao Miao, Feibian, Feng Wuze, Le Zhong and others also came forward, surrounding Li Mu in the middle.
Li Mu should be glad that Huang Shigong and others were demoted to the Hetao, otherwise more people would have gathered around them.
"This is...alcohol!" Li Mu just took a sip and suddenly felt as if his throat was on fire.
This thing is not wine, it is alcohol that Meng Wu stole somewhere!
Meng Wu put his wine jar under Li Mu's nose and smelled the strong smell of wine. Li Mu immediately knew that Meng Wu himself was drinking alcohol.
Needless to say, Li Mu had no choice but to drink it.
"Those who can't get drunk can just use their inner energy to relieve themselves when the time comes. Unlike me, I only had the Gang Yuan realm back then, and I drank so much that I couldn't finish it." Meng Wu suddenly felt miserable when he thought of the past.
When the others heard this, they had some scruples at first, but now they no longer had any scruples, and kept pouring water from pot to pot.
