I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 282: The Man Who Utilizes His Body to the Extreme

Yuan Shu's words were firm and murderous, and everyone present was moved.

They all realized that Yuan Shu was a kind leader in front of them, who treated his fellow travelers and his subordinates with great care and gentleness.

But this does not mean that he is a good person, nor does it mean that he has killed few people.

Even the weapons he uses to kill people are not limited to swords. He can also kill people with his mouth and even more with classics.

To be his fellow traveler is happiness, to be his friend is reassuring, to be his enemy is fatal, to be his mortal enemy -

In order to be reborn.

Lu Zhi and others had been with Yuan Shu for a long time, so they knew very well that at this moment, the death stars of those frontier tyrants were shining brightly, and their lives were only hanging by a thread. If they could honestly accept Yuan Shu's demands on them, they might still be able to survive.

If they resist stubbornly and refuse to accept Yuan Shu's demands on them, then what awaits them will surely be a game of elimination of the three tribes.

In addition to these arrangements for future action plans, Yuan Shu also revealed that he would need to lead some of his trusted confidants with him on this trip to the north. Whether it was the combat army or the administrative system on the frontier, he would arrange his own people for all of them. This not only meant the possibility of promotion, but also meant a certain degree of life-threatening danger.

Because within a few years, he had no way to guarantee everyone's safety, and everyone who went north with him might be killed by the Xianbei people, or even killed by the insects on his side.

Therefore, Yuan Shu planned to let Lu Zhi and others start publicity and screening within the Yi Xin Society to help him select suitable and outstanding talents, and tell them about this matter, explaining the benefits and dangers clearly, to see how many people are willing to follow him north to take risks and endure hardships.

However, this matter still needs a long time to be arranged, so there is no need to rush.

No one objected, they were just worried, and the relaxed and happy atmosphere was gone.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu decided to tell everyone some news that would make them happy, so he revealed the news that he was going to get married.

"In fact, I didn't want to get married so early, but my father was determined. He said that if I wanted to go north, I had to get married and have a child. I said that going north didn't mean I was going to die, and I didn't want to die. I still had a lot of things to do! He didn't believe me. He insisted that I have a child, so I will get married soon."

After Yuan Shu told the news, the solemn and thoughtful expressions on Lu Zhi and others' faces were no longer there, but were filled with joy.

"Zijia! Are you getting married?"

"This is great news!"

"It has to be a big celebration! It has to be a big celebration!"

"Hurry back and tell all the members of Yi Xin Hui! Yuan Jun is getting married!"

When the group of people heard the news that Yuan Shu was going to get married, they were so happy that they didn't know which way was which. It seemed that it was not Yuan Shu who was getting married, but them. The previous atmosphere of worry and seriousness was instantly swept away.

Then they immediately began to discuss enthusiastically what details should be included in Yuan Shu's wedding and what pleasant things should be done.

Luo Yi said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to get some things and arrange Jingzhou specialties for Yuan Shu's wedding. He also planned to invite a group of musicians from Jingzhou to perform Jingzhou's special songs and dances for the people of Luoyang to open their eyes.

Dai Hua also planned to return to his hometown in Donglai County to get some local seafood for Yuan Shu so that the people of Luoyang could have a taste. However, considering the freshness of the food, he began to actively explore the possibility of using ice to maintain freshness.

Zhao Jun said that there were many jugglers in Nanyang who were quite proficient in juggling. He planned to perform juggling at Yuan Shu's wedding so that everyone could have fun together.

Zhang Jie said that although the road to Shu was difficult to travel, he also planned to send someone back to his hometown in Shu to get some Shu specialties for Yuan Shu.

Lu Zhi, Lian Da, Shao Yuan and Xu Chong began to discuss going to Youzhou to bring back wild geese for Yuan Shu, saying that they wanted to get enough and strong enough geese to give Yuan Shu face.

The group of people discussed it over and over again, seemingly completely ignoring Yuan Shu's thoughts, nor caring what Yuan Shu wanted to do, and simply turned the wedding into a big party for everyone.

Even Wei Jia and Yu Chou were discussing arranging a simulated battle between the two armies for the members of the Yi Xin Society and their outstanding disciples and students, using a team of thousands of people to congratulate Yuan Shu and let Yuan Shu experience the pleasure of "playing tricks on the princes with beacon fires" as King You of Zhou did. This way, he would definitely have more face in front of his wife!
Yuan Shu was helpless about this.

He now knew that his wedding would not end so simply.

He actually didn't want to have a grand wedding. He just wanted to do it as simply as possible, as long as it was in accordance with etiquette. He just wanted to get the wedding over with as soon as possible, and then start the process of going to Bingzhou as soon as possible, and establish his career as soon as possible.

He is a man with a strong ambition and ambition, so how could he indulge in the pleasures of life?

If this group of subordinates were allowed to get involved, who knows what the entire wedding would be like.

But there is no way. As a leader, there are always some things that I cannot decide on my own. There are always some things that I have to consider the thoughts of my subordinates. They are so happy, can I be the one who spoils their fun?

As a leader, it is natural to give up some things to your subordinates.

For example, he had previously made full use of his body, sharing a bed with his subordinates, providing them with sufficient emotional value, and warming their hearts with his caring heart, which achieved unexpectedly excellent results. Each of his subordinates was willing to die to protect him.

So, he decided to leave everything to fate and hand over the hosting rights of his wedding to everyone else. All he had to do was to be the funny guy on that day.

But, that day will definitely be very tiring...

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu actually envied the era before Emperor Xuan of Han.

In that era, weddings were not called weddings, but were called dusk ceremonies. As the name suggests, it was a ceremony that could only be held at dusk.

Yuan Shu learned from ancient books that before Emperor Xuan of Han, marriage was not something worthy of a grand celebration. According to the regulations of Zhou Li, weddings should be held quietly at dusk.

The groom picks up the bride from her home. He should not bang or make any noise along the way. He should quietly bring the bride home, hold a series of ceremonies behind closed doors, and have a gathering with his closest relatives. This completes the wedding.

After entering the Han Dynasty, social customs evolved. Although lavish weddings and celebrations occasionally occurred, they were limited to high-ranking officials and the rich. Even if common people had enough wealth, they were not allowed to hold lavish weddings and celebrations.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, he issued an edict allowing local civilians to hold lavish weddings in a way that previously only high-ranking officials and dignitaries could do. The more grand and luxurious the wedding, the more prestigious it was.

Emperor Xuan of Han did this because he actually wanted to add another link in the redistribution of wealth.

Allowing wealthy civilians to spend their savings can promote economic mobility in society, but it can also cause some wealthy people to suffer heavy losses due to a wedding, interrupting their path to upgrading, thereby limiting the development of local tyrants.

This trick is indeed effective. Under the influence of large-scale changes in customs and habits, weddings have gradually become grand and extravagant happy events. The larger the scale and the more luxurious, the better.

The wealthy immediately changed their mindset and turned their weddings into gatherings with strong social attributes that combined social status and family interests, making them extremely luxurious in order to show off their family's status.

Ordinary people are easily influenced, and they follow suit and become envious. They are willing to spend all their money for the sake of face. Many families even start saving money from the moment their child is born in order to give them a respectable wedding. There are even cases where the whole family goes bankrupt after the wedding.

As a result, there are naturally complaints in many places. People suffer greatly from it, but cannot escape it. In addition, there are indeed many people who make money from it, and more and more people specialize in organizing weddings for a living. In this way, an entire industrial chain has been established.

As the second largest family in the world, the Yuan family naturally has no shortage of resources and wealth to hold a wedding. No matter how luxurious or elaborate the wedding is, there is no risk of losing everything.

Not to mention that after a wedding, you can legally and reasonably collect a huge number of gifts, and you might not only make no loss in the end, but even make a profit.

but……

Just do what you can...
