The third uncle let out a sigh and felt unsure. He looked back at Chen Jiye. Seeing that Chen Jiye didn't say anything, he knew that this useless guy must have nodded.

So I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It seemed that the descendants of the Chen family were capable only after generations.

He thought hard and said, "I'm afraid that such a huge project will involve a lot. The wood and manpower they spend... are no joke."

Chen Zhengtai said: "Actually, it's already calculated. After all, it's still a matter of money. As long as this thing is prefabricated, it's not troublesome to lay it. From the desert to Guanzhong, most of the desert is flat, so the project is not difficult. In addition, the weather here is dry most of the time, and it's not like the rainy places like Huainan and Jiangnan, so the wood is not prone to rot. It's because of this that I'm determined to get this done. I've already thought about it, and the Chen family has to find a way to raise it..."

"Let's wait." Uncle San couldn't help but say, "What if there is a horse thief in the grassland destroying this wooden track? Zhengtai, this... has to be careful."

"The benefits here are here." Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "If this wooden track is completed, there will be countless caravans driving on this road, and a small number of horse thieves dare not destroy it. Even if there are really a large group of people and wooden tracks, we can build a road protection team. With this wooden track, our army can travel 300 miles a day. Once we hear the warning, we can quickly arrive. On the surface, it will make the road protection horses running around, but in fact, wherever the wooden track goes, the range that our Chen family can reach. The third uncle only saw the hidden dangers of horse thieves or Hu people, but did not expect that we could completely control the benefits of surrounding land. Besides, the maintenance of wooden tracks is not difficult and nothing."

When the third uncle heard this, he started to wander. Why did he always think that Chen Zhengtai's words would make sense in the end?

"Zhengtai, my uncle told you this not to pour cold water on you. If you want to do what you want, no one can stop me, and my uncle will not stop me. But if you plan and then act, you must first consider defeat and then win." The third uncle said seriously: "I have been thinking about it all the time, but it is still too expensive."

"Money is just a number. What's the use of stacking it in the warehouse? Uncle, don't worry, the benefits of repairing this wooden track will be much more than these mere money."

The third uncle finally nodded and glanced at Chen Jiye: "What do you think about Jiye?"

Chen Jiye was quite Buddhist and nodded and said, "Jintai is the only way to make the decision. What can I do? The Chen family... If it weren't for Zhengtai, how could they have today? But... the most urgent thing at the moment is that Zhengtai's marriage is still important."

Uncle San was shocked: "Yes, I think so when you say this. A few days ago, our Chen family had contacted the Ministry of Rites several times and had chosen a few auspicious days for the Ministry of Rites to make the final decision. However, there was no news. We have to urge them, so we should not use some money. These damn ritual officials are all reincarnated by starving ghosts, and I am afraid they will wait for this."

Chen Jiye just listened to the matter of repairing Muzhi, and was very soft, but when he mentioned the marriage, he suddenly became energetic, as if he was going to get married!

He said enthusiastically: "To be honest, it is time to give some money. First, our Chen family has money, and second, it's time to have a happy celebration. This matter must be done quickly."

Chen Zhengtai suddenly became bored, so he found a reason and then left.

A few days later, I don’t know if it was because the third uncle had given money. Anyway, the palace finally issued an edict!

The day when the princess got married was chosen on the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, which was a very good day. Of course, Chen Zhengtai didn't care about this. Didn't Fang Xuanling choose a good day when she got married? But what was the result? It can be seen that the marriage is not about the good or bad life, but about the good or bad people.

The decree was issued, and Chen Zhengtai honestly went to the palace to thank him. He met Li Shimin first. Li Shimin was dazed when he looked at a memorial. After Chen Zhengtai bowed, Li Shimin raised his head and said to Chen Zhengtai: "What wooden track is the Chen family going to build? Why... is this?"

"My teacher is to strengthen transportation so that Shuofang and Guanzhong can communicate with each other." Chen Zhengtai said: "If it were not the case, it would be fine. After all, it was on the grassland. However, the soil on the grassland was soft and not suitable for driving, so it built wooden tracks, which would have great benefits for the transportation of goods."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "It costs a lot of money here."

"The Chen family's current budget is about 600,000 guan, and they plan to lay four tracks..."

Li Shimin didn't have much interest in the third track and fourth track, nor did he understand it. However, when he heard that it would cost more than 600,000 yuan, stars suddenly appeared in his eyes.

This...is money.

Moreover, there are still 30% of the Chen family’s money, which belongs to the prince.

As for Princess Sui'an, Li Shimin has already eliminated it. After all, he had married. He wanted to settle the accounts with the Chen family, but after thinking about it carefully, the money was given to the Chen family. Moreover, Chen Zhengtai directly gave Li Chengqian 40% of the shares in many transactions since then, which was a very tactful expression of compensation.

Therefore, Li Shimin just pretended to be stupid.

In fact... the tax paid every year in the Chen family is astronomical. Over the past year, the taxes of the imperial court have increased sharply. To some extent, Li Shimin was still relieved.

But... it will cost more than 600,000 yuan this time, which is a bit of a waste of money.

He felt sorry!

“So much?”

Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "This is an imperative thing. The students have already thought about it. The Chen family will pay the money by themselves and will never occupy half of the public funds."

This is not someone who pays for it.

This person is his disciple and his son-in-law in the future. But when Li Shimin thought of this, he felt sorry for him. This money did not fall from the sky, and it had 600,000 guan. What's wrong with doing?

Any elder will inevitably feel a little disgusted when he sees his children spending money randomly.

Li Shimin's face changed constantly, and it took him a long time to stabilize his emotions!

He forced a smile and said, "Oh, the Chen family's money is your business, but... don't be too immersed in everything because of a whim."

Chen Zhengtai said: "Students should follow their teachings."

"In a few days, you shouldn't call yourself a student." After Li Shimin felt aching in his heart like a needle, his face softened: "Princess Sui'an is my beloved daughter. I will marry her to you. In a few days, I will get married. From then on, you and I will be both teachers and students, monarchs and ministers, and father-in-law and son-in-law. Although I have many daughters, I will inevitably have many son-in-laws in the future, but I am different from you. In short, you must treat my daughter well in the future. Of course... I have also let Sui'an stay with Guanyin maid for many days. Guanyin maid has been writing a book of virtue recently. She is the most talkative person who talks about virtue in women. It is not harmful to teach Sui'an more."

When Chen Zhengtai heard the word "Fude" and couldn't help but feel sour. This thing is so bad.

He wanted to express his righteousness with a righteous expression, I don’t value women’s morality.

But I suddenly thought that this was my future wife. Thinking about Fang Xuanling, before she could say this, she was swallowed back by Chen Zhengtai.

Virtue...

It smells so good!

Li Shimin's eyes became more and more gentle: "If you become a relative, you will be considered a real man. A man who gets married and has children, manages the family business, and serves the country. These are all heavy responsibilities. Do not act recklessly in the future."

Chen Zhengtai obediently responded one by one.

In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of the ninth lunar month. The third uncle and Chen Jiye arranged for someone to contact him. After giving him six gifts, Chen Zhengtai entered the palace again.

This time I head straight to Ziwei Palace.

This time, not only Li Shimin, but also Empress Changsun.

When Empress Changsun saw Chen Zhengtai come in, she seemed particularly attentive and enthusiastic.

Changsun Chong was trained by Chen Zhengtai, which now made the Changsun family proud. This alone was enough to make Empress Changsun overjoyed.

So after explaining the matter of the wedding, Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty has many daughters, and they have also enfeoffed the princess. There are also a few who have built the princess's mansion. In addition, some of the daughters of the Supreme Emperor, the princess' mansion and the households they have been granted. Only Princess Sui'an, who has been well-behaved since childhood, also has many worries for Your Majesty. Such a filial daughter, only her princess's mansion was built outside the pass. The grassland is a bitter and cold place. Now the princess is about to marry. As a father, this dowry should be particularly generous."

Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, I wish the princess's mansion was on the grassland and the food was outside the pass. If it were other places, I wouldn't have agreed.

Li Shimin also seemed to want to say, I can blame me, isn’t this all Chen Zhengtai’s own idea?

Of course, this is hard to say, and Li Shimin smiled and said, "What Guanyin maid said is so true, so let's buy more dowry."

Chen Zhengtai then said, "My mother is so considerate to her son, and she is so grateful to her son."

At this time, he had already started calling his mother in advance.

Empress Changsun was happy when she heard Chen Zhengtai’s name: “In the future, we will be a family, and there is no need to be a lot of tribute… A few days ago, someone paid a lot of ginseng, all of which were rare ginseng. You are still young and should be nourishing. I will send it to you at that time.”

Chen Zhengtai always felt that the word "nutrition" seemed to have some metaphor, so he looked up at the strong Li Shimin. His Majesty was very strong. Could it be that it was also nourishing?

The next day was the wedding day. In fact, since midnight, many eunuchs and officials from the Ministry of Rites have arrived.

Before, they had come many times, all of which were teaching the etiquette of the wedding. The Chen family also made some arrangements. Because the princess's mansion is in the desert, the place for marriage naturally could not be the princess's mansion.

After careful arrangements and reading many records of ancient rituals, the Ministry of Rites has formulated a complete etiquette.

They were too lazy to discuss with Chen Zhengtai. In their eyes, Chen Zhengtai was a tool man before entering the bridal chamber. What does this have to do with him, Chen Zhengtai?

Instead, they inspected the Chen family like an imperial envoy and explained many matters. These were actually repeated instructions, but they were worried, fearing that any exception would appear.

The third uncle felt that these people insulted their IQ, and because of the happy days, they did not care about them.

This wedding ceremony is actually similar to that of ordinary families, but it is a little different.

After all, when the Tang Dynasty was first established, the strict etiquette and laws had not been built yet, and after all, there were still some remaining of ordinary people.

Chen Zhengtai was wearing wedding clothes and riding a tall horse. Behind him was a newly decorated carriage. He was greeted that day. He was so dizzy that he was guided by several eunuchs to pick him up the car!

Someone read the book and then went back to the Chen family to pay homage. Many guests from the Chen family came. Whether they were close or became enemies on weekdays, the aristocratic circle was not big. Other times, they were angry and pulled out their swords. Another person said that they would send a message, but when they got married, they still had to drink with a gift.

The dowry in the palace took more than 400 strong men and lieutenants, and more than 120 carriages to be moved. Chen Zhengtai knew that his father-in-law was stingy. Most of the ten were tributes sent from various places, so he rewarded them casually. As for discounting, it was impossible.

So he didn't care.

I entered the room that day. I was a little drunk and my etiquette always sucked my patience. Even Chen Zhengtai was anxious to enter the bridal chamber several times, but he was caught by several eunuchs. After finally waived the time, he finally got out.

Under the red candle, Chen Zhengtai lifted up the clouds on Princess Sui'an's head, and he was relaxed and happy at this time. Fortunately, everyone is acquaintances, knowing the roots and bottom of the situation, but not shy!

When the bride showed her face, in a flash, Chen Zhengtai suddenly let out a mother and screamed. He quickly retreated behind him and hit the lamp stand behind him. The oil lamp clanged and fell to the ground. Then the tincture oil on the ground seemed to have been poured with fire.

I saw the newcomer sitting here, where is Princess Sui'an?

It is clearly the eldest princess Li Xiuli!

Chen Zhengtai shivered and subconsciously said in horror: "Damn it."

"Don't shout." Princess Changle said aggrievedly: "It's no wonder you..."

Of course I'm not a fault...

Damn it.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but say, "Where is Xiurong?"

Li Xiuli said: "It's a long story."

"Say it briefly." Chen Zhengtai gritted his teeth and tried hard for a long time: "I'm afraid."

Li Xiuli blushed: "This... these are the prince's ideas. He said he wanted to scare you. I don't think it's right. He refused to agree... Xiurong was deceived by the prince... I... I am innocent."

Chen Zhengtai felt dizzy, but fortunately his mind was a little clear-headed, so he hurriedly said, "Hurry up, clean up quickly, I'll take you back to the palace."

While he was anxious to take the Xiagui and wanted to cover Li Xiuli, he cursed in his heart that you, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, are really good at playing, and there are really everyone.
