Just the day before Zhuge Liang set out from Xiangyang to return to Luoyang, when Huang Chengyan "selled" his daughter Huang Shuo to Kong Ming, a large-scale bride-seeking group in Wohu City was heading north under the personal leadership of the Grand Tutor Zhao Xing. Their destination for this trip was Yuyang, the capital of Youzhou.

The bride-sending group led by Zhao Xing himself is of high specifications and large scale. Just looking at the important figures accompanying people is a bit dazzled: Xu Wanting, the grandma of the Taifu Mansion, the second maid, Myolie Wu, the fourth maid, Zhang Xin, the commander of the Dragon Cavalry, Zhang Liao, the major general of the Ma Family Army in Xiliang, Qin Yilu, the commander of the Taifu Mansion, Dian Wei, the commander of the guard regiment, and other female relatives, including Wulan, Zhao Yu, Zhen Mi, Ma Yun-e, and the interview group of reporters who accompanied him.

When Zhao Xing traveled, according to the convention, at least 10,000 troops were accompanied. This time, the elite troops of the 10,000 Dragon Cavalry were followed by him, led by Zhang Liao himself. What was this bride-sending group going to Yuyang? They were going to escort Ma Yuntu, the pearl in Xiliang Ma Teng, to Yuyang to get married to Zhao Yun.

The marriage between Zhao Yun and Ma Yun was decided long before Dong Zhuo attacked Ma Teng last year. It was only after the first pacification of Youzhou, Zhao Yun wanted to take charge of the military in the entire Youzhou area and had no time to return to Shangdang, so his marriage with Ma Yun was delayed again and again. In May this year, as soon as the commercial exhibition in Wohu City opened, the envoy sent by Ma Teng quickly sent a message back, so the Ma family in Xiliang began to urge the marriage to come.

After asking for his own opinions, the marriage between the two was finally settled after the naval admiral Tai Shi Ci fully grasped the situation of Quanzhou Naval City. On the ninth day of the 10th month, the Ma family in Xiliang asked Major General Ma Chao to escort his sister to Zhao Yun's mansion in Wohu City. This time he went to Yuyang, which was officially held to hold a ceremony to pass the door.

Although this is Zhao Yun’s second time marrying, everyone still attaches great importance to it. Not only because Zhao Yun married the first wife of the Huns and Ma Yun is a Han Chinese, but more importantly, the relationship between the Jin and the Ma family in Xiliang is also maintained behind their marriage. Although political marriage has never been something Zhao Xing praised and advocated, when they think that Ma Yun was originally a little pepper, he was originally matched with Zhao Yun, and after they met, they did not have a emotional foundation, so it was the best of both worlds, and both public and private were happy.

Logically speaking, Zhao Yun and Ma Yun were married, and there was one of the Taifu Mansion. The two mistresses went to represent Zhao Xing, and Zhang Liao went to congratulate him in person. This was enough. Zhao Yun would never think that the third brother would not go to Yuyang to congratulate him. After all, Zhao Xing is now in charge of military and political affairs in the three states and cannot easily leave the central place of Wohu City.

As the core leader of the emerging group of Jin State, Zhao Xing naturally understood his current identity and the significance of travel. So why did he leave Wohu City openly against the public?

In fact, Zhao Xing went to Yuyang for three reasons: first of all, he personally went to congratulate his sworn brother Zhao Yun, which was also considered to give enough face to the Ma family in Xiliang; secondly, he wanted to conduct on-site inspection of the development and construction situation in Youzhou since the end of the Zhang Chun rebellion last summer and was included in the control and management of Jin State; finally, according to the past situation, as long as Zhao Xing left Wohu City, there would always be someone who would take advantage of some small actions. Zhao Xing wanted to go out and give his opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.

After Zhao Xing left, Xu Huang, Guo Jia, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Li Jinsi, Liu Jili and others were in charge of security guards in Wohu City. The nearby army was responsible for the security guards, the 20,000 Dragon Cavalry, and the 20,000 surrendered troops under Dong Zhuo who were still trained in the training regiment, which was enough to deal with any emergencies and dangerous events.

The marriage sent to you was too large, and Zhao Xing did not deliberately conceal it, so soon after, the Jin Daily and several other newspapers published the news that Zhao Taifu went to Youzhou to inspect the military, government and people's livelihood. Soon after, this news was taken to southern states along with the business trips from south to north, and was mastered by some people who had been thinking about Zhao Xing all day long.

No matter what thoughts Zhao Xing would have when he went to Youzhou, he would first see what Zhao Xing did along the way.

The first thing Zhao Xing did was to seriously accompany his wife Xu Wanting, who had never traveled far away with him, to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way and taste various unique snacks.

Since the eldest wife Xu Wanting got married, she not only carefully accompanied Zhao Xing's mother, but also had to take care of all kinds of things, big and small. She basically didn't go out of the door and didn't go to the two doors, and was a typical virtuous housewife. However, Myolie Wu was outgoing and generous, and often accompanied Zhao Xing with a man, while the other women also had the chance to visit around in Jin State. This time, Zhao Xing brought Xu Wanting out specifically, which was a little compensation for the virtuous wife.

The second thing was that before leaving, Zhao Xing instructed Pang Tong to sort out the official list and personal information of the counties and counties he passed along the road. As he visited each place, he went deep into the fields, villages and towns, and talked with local people, and learned from the side that the new officials in various places performed their duties after the major adjustments of grassroots officials last year.

Zhao Xing knew better than anyone that it was easy to conquer the country, but it was difficult to maintain success. The more than 200,000 elite troops in Jin State currently have food, clothing and expenses all depend on the taxes paid by the people of all places. If there was a problem with the grassroots officials, it was just like the corrupt officials sent to various places by the Han Dynasty in the past, and only knew how to plunder the people's wealth and meat in the countryside. Not to mention achieving great achievements, it was impossible to defend the current territory.

The third thing is that Zhao Xing wanted to examine the development of handicrafts in various parts of Jin after the trade fair. At the trade fair, Jin State suddenly released nearly a hundred new products, which will inevitably bring huge profits to Jin State in the future, but the premise is based on the production process and output in the country of Jin.

According to Zhao Xing's intention, the construction of production lines of these commodities will be designated and allocated to each county based on the population, distribution of mineral resources, climate and water sources and the basis of local agricultural and animal husbandry development, so as to avoid the people from watching a certain commodity come quickly in the future, and as a result, they will be launched in a hurry to produce, resulting in huge waste of financial and human resources.

The booming handicraft industry will eventually become the source of social progress and scientific and technological development. Even if Zhao Xing let go after a few years, as long as the backward productivity and production relations in the late Han Dynasty changed, the fate of the Han Empire will continue to move forward along a new path, and no longer faced the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. For more than three hundred years, only one of the five Han people were killed!

The lively bride group was welcomed and sent by nearby people who came to hear the news along the way. They sent their best wishes, hoping that the brave and mighty General Zhao Zilong would get married as soon as possible and add a few more little tigers to Jin State.

Nowadays, although the population of You and Liang provinces has exceeded the seven million mark, it still seems to be vast and sparsely populated, which is far from enough. Since last year, an official selection called "Hero Mother" has been launched in Jin State, Youzhou and Liang State simultaneously. The conditions for the election are to see which mother has given birth to more children in the past eight years and raises the children well. Once she is named "Hero Mother", the expenses of raising children will be borne by the government.

Needless to say, this strange selection activity naturally came from Zhao Xing's initiative. Because the dream that Zhao Xing held in his heart required many yellow skin, dark eyes, and Chinese-speaking compatriots to realize it...
