Chapter 146 [Expanding the territory is considered a family business](1/2)

Once a man marries his wife, she often brings some surprises.

If the wife is good, her life will be wonderful, she will give birth to children and help him buy a family, and some people are destined to have a prosperous life, and Zhaoning is just such a person who is born to be successful.

She made Gu Tianya rich again.



Gu Tianya has been working in Wuyang County for a month, and he has to go home to see his wife every seven days.

Since I stay at home for three days at a time, I have been home three times this month.

During these three trips home, there were new surprises every time.

When he returned home for the first time, Zhao Ning told him that he was going to build a new house for his family and planned to build a yard three feet deep that could accommodate at least a hundred people.

Zhaoning has big plans.

The front yard is a place for entertaining guests, and a large wing will be specially built. The back yard is a private residence for women and children, and seven or eight small yards are planned to be divided.

Although Gu Tianya has not taken a concubine yet, Zhao Ning is one of those extremely generous women. She must be the head wife. Once she takes up the position, she will feel satisfied with everything. Therefore, she wants to help Gu Tianya build a concubine courtyard in advance.

.

Since ancient times, when a wife is married to a virtuous woman, the wife will help her husband plan his life. Taking a concubine is a way to provide money for the family. No legal wife will object to this matter.

On the contrary, you have to take the initiative to help your husband.

Otherwise it is jealousy.

In addition to the front yard and backyard, the new home also planned a middle yard, which is the residence of the servants and is responsible for protecting the safety of the entire Gu family.

Gu family, Gu family.

This vocabulary is a bit unfamiliar to Gu Tianya.

Today's Gu family can't be called a family, but Zhao Ning clearly has far-reaching plans. As the commander-in-chief of the Detachment of Women, the most important thing she lacks is her subordinates. There are more than a dozen loyal generals alone.

With just one order, the tribesmen were recruited at will.

It is said that in order to compete for the position of the Gu family tribe, these generals actually held a large-scale martial arts competition in the army, and their heads were bloody and their eyes were almost red.

In the end, twelve people were successfully shortlisted.

It will be difficult for future generations to imagine why people in this era would compete for opportunities to serve as servants.

The reason is very simple, Buqu is a person who is qualified to be promoted to retainer.



So when Gu Tianya came home for the second time, the first thing Zhao Ning asked him to do was to cut his wrists.

Ma Sanbao became the first retainer of the Gu family.

The other eleven parts will have to wait.

Gu Tianya cut his wrist with a knife and performed a blood-soaking ceremony. He didn't feel anything wrong, but Ma Sanbao burst into tears. As for the other eleven parts, their eyes were red with envy.

It's a pity that Zhaoning only released one retainer position, and they couldn't compete with Ma Sanbao no matter what.



This is Gu Tianya's third trip home, and there is another surprise waiting for him.

Going to get rich.

In the evening, after dinner.

Gu Tianya supported Zhao Ning, and the couple walked along the river bank, followed by Xiao Qing and Xiao Rou, carrying a mat and getting ready to enjoy the cool air.

Behind her was the younger sister Chang'e, who suddenly rushed to a tree to catch cicadas. Unfortunately, her palm force was too strong. When she hit the palm, the tree shook violently. The cry of cicadas suddenly stopped, and the tree trunk made a "click" sound as if it was struck by lightning.

Between the clusters of leaves, the trunk was split with a palm.

Let alone cicadas, the trees cannot survive.

Zhao Ning seemed to be furious, turned around and shouted at Chang'e, scolding: "Damn girl, are you looking for a beating..."

Gu Tianya was startled and quickly comforted her: "She is still young and is quite playful. She just killed a cicada. Why are you so angry?"

Zhao Ning's aura was unprecedentedly strong, and the female said fiercely: "Before I give birth, no one in this family is allowed to kill. Cicadas are also alive, so she is not allowed to catch them again."

Gu Tianya stood there blankly, and after a long time he said in shock: "When you led the troops in the war, you lost a lot of lives under your command."

Zhao Ning's pretty face was solemn and she said: "That was before, but now it's not allowed. I have to pray for the child, and I'm not allowed to kill before giving birth."

Chang'e stuck out her tongue mischievously and came over to apologize. Gu Tianya took the opportunity to comfort Zhao Ning again and finally suppressed her anger.

There is nothing I can do about it, pregnant women have bad tempers and are weird, as if they are neurotic.

Now the whole family has to let her go.

At this time, Xiaoqing Xiaorou found a cool and breezy place, spread out a mat and came over to help Zhaoning enjoy the coolness. Unexpectedly, Zhaoning waved his hand and pulled Gu Tianya to the riverside instead.

However, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the west and said, "Our family is going to get rich."

Gu Tianya was slightly startled, feeling that this turn of events was a bit abrupt, and asked curiously: "How do you get rich?"

But Zhao Ning smiled proudly and asked instead, "Do you know Shuo Fang..."

"Shuofang? Why did you suddenly mention this place? It's far away from us, almost bordering the Western Turks."

"I didn't ask if you were far away, I asked if you knew Shuofang."

"Of course I know that there is the territory of Liang Shidu. This man raised troops during the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty and established a country called Liang Kingdom. It once had fifteen states and was a considerable force."

Although Gu Tianya lives in Hebei, he is always concerned about world affairs, but he can't understand why Zhaoning mentioned Shuofang. That place is more than 1,500 miles away from Hebei.

Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he vaguely grasped Zhao Ning's intention, and blurted out: "Although Shuofang is far away from us, there is a state in Liang State that borders us. Zhao Ning, are you planning to attack that state?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ning slowly shook his head and said leisurely: "No, what I want is not a state. Our eldest son is about to be born, and I, the mother, want to give him a county."

hiss!

Gu Tianya took a breath.

A county?

He is well versed in world affairs, and he already understands where Zhao Ning is focusing on in just a flash of his mind.

That place is called Dingyang County.

Hebei Road is the border of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a power in each direction from the north to the west. To the north is the Steppe Turks, and to the west is the Liang Kingdom where Liang Shidu is.

Now that the Turks are powerful and powerful, Zhao Ning will definitely not touch them, so the one he is eyeing is Liang Guo.

Dingyang County is a county bordering Hebei Province.

It is the land of three states, which together have nine counties. Since the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, the area of ​​the three states is equivalent to one-fifth of Hebei Province.

The large area is terrifying.

However, this place is not easy to swallow.

Behind Liang Shidu, there is a Turkic platform, which is a force that is no different from the Tang Dynasty. Although its strength has weakened in recent years, it can never be defeated by the Detachment of Women alone.

Zhao Ning actually wanted to touch such a tough guy. The reason was ridiculous. He actually wanted to get his country for his children.

People who are about to become mothers are indeed fierce.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Ning was not the only one who was ruthless...

I heard Xiaoqing suddenly speak, and said with determination: "Miss said that after Dingyang is conquered, I will be given a state, and the children left to me will be regarded as my dowry property, so in two months we will

Just do it.”

After the girl finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Tianya, with a faint blush on her pretty face, and whispered: "You should understand that I can only have bastards in the future. According to our Central Plains tradition, bastards cannot share the family property, but I also

As a mother, I want to leave some property to my children."

Gu Tianya was stunned.

How old are you, girl, when you start planning to become a mother?

But Xiaorou actually spoke up and said softly: "Miss also promised to give me a state and let me bring it into the Gu family as a dowry!"

After finishing speaking, he was extremely shy and lowered his head and said: "Dowry is a woman's private property, and the head of the family cannot take it lightly. When you promote me in the future and give me the status of your concubine, I will help you give birth to a boy and a girl, just in time."

The dowry is left to the children..."

Gu Tianya was a little dizzy.

This girl actually started thinking about becoming a mother.

He stared at the three women for a long time, then took a deep breath and said solemnly: "It's a good thing, but you are too impatient. Master Liang is backed by the Turks, and his country is not that easy to swallow."

Once you take action, the Turks will definitely get involved. Even if the Turks don't get involved, the strength of Liang Shidu cannot be underestimated."

He paused for a moment and then added: "This man was able to found the country in the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty and has persisted until now. He is by no means an ordinary anti-king force. All his subordinates are capable of conquering and fighting."

of cavalry.”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ning chuckled and said, "You are a layman when it comes to fighting."

Gu Tianya was immediately embarrassed. He suddenly remembered what kind of existence his wife was. Looking at the past and present, there are few generals who can lead two hundred thousand troops in battle. This ability is no weaker than that of Master Liang.
