Han officials

Chapter 128: Injustice
It is said that in addition to salt officials and iron officials, Liaodong County actually also had priest officials.

For example, this kind of office has always existed in Xiangping City.

It can be seen from this that the Xiangping pasture is as rich in water and grass as the grassland.

Even the wasteland around Xiangping County, which is despised by the Han people, is actually a good pasture on the grassland.

There's no way around it, this is the only advantage we have of having a vast land and a sparse population.

So after receiving Shi Yi's reply, Wei Zhe saw his horse at Xiangping Ranch not long after!

……

The next day, in the big tent.

Looking at the long-legged, slim-waisted, and exotic Dongyi beauty in front of him, Wei Zhe burst out laughing.

"Good horse! Good horse!"

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether he was talking about the horse or the person.

However, Ma Yu, the envoy of Buyeo, was not angry, but relieved instead.

Whether it is a horse or a person, as long as Wei Zhe is satisfied, it's fine.

However, just as he had cracked a smile, Wei Zhe suddenly spoke up, "Forget about the woman. I'm the governor of Liaodong, and according to Han Chinese rules, I can't marry barbarians. I understand your father's intentions. From now on, I will only recognize you and your son in the Liaodong Hu Market. Do you understand?"

After all, the Han Dynasty has not yet fallen. Even if Wei Zhe only takes a Dongyi woman as a concubine, it will give rise to gossip.

Even according to the Three Mutual Laws, local governors were not allowed to marry the people within their territory.

Whether taking a concubine or marrying a wife, as long as the relationship is in-laws, it is within the restrictions.

Although scholars all over the world have many criticisms of Emperor Huan, just one thing about his "Three Mutual Laws" is that we can tell that he is not a foolish person.

In fact, it was on this basis that successive dynasties gradually refined the "official avoidance" system.

However, when Wei Zhe said this, Ma Yu became anxious on the spot.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood. There's no need for intermarriage. You can just be a slave or a maid." Ma Yu said with a humble smile, "My sister admires heroes the most. Ever since she heard about your deeds, she has been in love with you. She only asks to serve you. Even if there is no official status, it doesn't matter."

Having said this, the man actually had the audacity to bow to Wei Zhe and said, "Please give me some face, my Lord."

As high-ranking officials in the Fuyu Kingdom, Ma Yu and his father Jian Weiju naturally knew the taboos of the Han prefects.

So Jian Weiju is just trying it out. It would be best if Wei Zhe is willing to take a concubine, but it doesn't matter if he is not willing.

But his granddaughter Wei Zhe insisted on accepting it, otherwise he would be worried.

Seeing that Ma Yu had said so much, Wei Zhe had an idea and could only nod.

After all, he just took a foreign girl as a maid, and no one would take it seriously if he told others about it.

For example, in You and Bing states, many local officials liked to keep foreign girls to entertain guests.

On the contrary, if he firmly refuses to accept it, then Jian Wei will probably have to think about it a lot.

Alas, I can only put myself in a difficult position for the sake of this world!

After hearing what Wei Zhe said, Ma Yu finally felt relieved.

After Wei Zhe personally finalized the subsequent cooperation matters, he said goodbye and left with a tactful look.

As for that sister, he didn't even look at her from beginning to end.

It was not until this moment that Wei Zhe finally had the mind to take a closer look at this woman.

Wei Zhe gently lifted the chin of the royal lady, his eyes full of admiration.

He hadn't noticed at first glance that this woman actually had a pair of emerald green eyes.

Looking at his appearance, he actually looks a bit mixed-race. I wonder if Jian Weiju was cheated on.

However, his admiring attitude annoyed Jian Weiju's daughter Yisi.

She slapped Wei Zhe's fingers away and glared at him angrily.

Obviously, she didn't admire Wei Zhe as much as Ma Yu said.

Of course, she actually had no opinion about Wei Zhe.

But she was originally preparing to become the queen of Goguryeo, but was later sent to Xiangping.

This feeling of being sent here and there like merchandise was the real reason for Yisi's anger. If she wasn't the most beautiful of Jian Weiju's daughters and granddaughters, Jian Weiju wouldn't have wanted to send her here again.

However, Wei Zhe was too lazy to care about these things.

"Hey~ It's just a little wild cat? Interesting!"

Wei Zhe did not force him, but sat leisurely on the bed and drank a sip of honey water.

After all, this woman has been sent to his tent, and he will have plenty of time to train her in the future.

However, women are so strange. Wei Zhe ignored her, and Yisi succeeded in convincing herself.

I don't know what she was thinking. After a moment, she knelt silently in front of Wei Zhe and took the initiative to massage his legs.

Although her technique was immature, she had obviously accepted her family's fate of becoming a Han Chinese maid.

Seeing this, Wei Zhe became a little curious. It was interesting that he could bend and stretch so easily.

"Come on, tell me, what do you want?"

Unexpectedly, Yisi did not answer directly after hearing this. Instead, she raised her head slightly, revealing her beautiful curves.

"Master, I can help you destroy Buyeo!"

Hiss~ The woman's shouting was quite smooth, but Wei Zhe felt a little bit of a toothache after hearing it.

What the hell? Did the Buyeo people send a crazy beauty over here?
Looking at the woman's wild eyes, Wei Zhe thought for a moment and then asked directly, "Aren't you from Buyeo? Give me a reason!"

Yisi did not hide her feelings at all when she heard this, her eyes were full of resentment.

"Buyeo is Buyeo, and I am me."

"Without my Buyeo, it means nothing to me!"

After hearing this, Wei Zhe suddenly didn't know what to say.

This woman is quite vengeful. I don’t know how the Buyeo royal family treated her so badly.

But no matter what, Wei Zhe didn't expect a woman to destroy the country.

So he immediately smiled casually and said, "Okay, then let me see your skills!"

After saying that, without waiting for her to say anything else, Wei Zhe blocked her mouth with his eyes slightly closed.

……

The fact that there was a new Hu girl in Wei Zhe's family soon faded into obscurity.

Except for Guan Yan, because she is a little jealous.

However, after Wei Zhe coaxed her for a few days, she soon felt relieved.

After all, this is the case in the world today. Even Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Bingyi, who was deeply in love with his old lover, had many women.

What's more, she is pregnant now. As the mistress of the family, let alone stopping Wei Zhe from finding a woman, even if it were any other family, they would probably have to take the initiative to arrange for a concubine for their husband.

Compared with what happened in Wei Zhe's harem, the most concerned issue in the entire Liaodong is the Liaodong Hu City.

Because after Wei Zhe's efforts, the court's order finally came down.

After obtaining permission from the imperial court, the Liaodong Hu Market immediately became a grand event in the entire Liaodong!
After all, how much can be sold through smuggling? Not to mention that with the rise of Wei Zhe, smuggling in Liaodong has become increasingly difficult.

Along the way, Liaodong Hu City naturally became the most lively trading place!

For example, on the first day of the market opening, Ma Yu drove more than 70,000 cattle and horses to the outside of Wangping City for trade.

Some Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes scattered outside the Liaodong Great Wall also drove their cattle and horses here to trade.

After all, if we take it from other tribes on the grassland, the price we have to pay will be high.

Influenced by Wei Zhe, many powerful families in Qingzhou also crossed the sea to participate in the trade.

And just as Liaodong was thriving, the wheel of history continued to roll forward.

In November, Grand Commandant Cui Lie was dismissed and Grand Minister of Agriculture Cao Song was appointed as Grand Commandant.
The following month, as Gongsun Zan had failed to suppress Zhang Chun's rebellion, the court formally appointed Liu Yu as the governor of Youzhou.

Upon hearing this news, Wei Zhe knew that chaos was imminent...
-
It's the end of the year and I'm a bit busy. I'm really sorry.

I try to update on time, but there are really too many things to do.
