After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

After a night's rest, Marquis Jing'an and Duerman led their army straight to Huanglong and headed to the heart of the grassland, hoping to defeat the grassland king in one fell swoop.

The more than 100,000 fleeing grassland troops were pursued by another 50,000-strong army, so they were just a pile of scattered sand and were nothing to be feared.

The Prairie King had already lost half a million troops this time, and his remaining troops were few. With Duerman leading the way, there wouldn't be much of a problem. Even if they couldn't capture or kill the Prairie King, they would at least drive him off the grassland.

A few days later, the court received the report from Marquis Jing'an, and Emperor Yongxing and the court officials were all extremely excited.

Duke Wei also received the news and spread it, causing panic among the Tibetan army. If the grassland army was defeated, how could they, the Tibetans, resist the Yongning army?

When the Tibetan king learned that the grassland army had been defeated, he immediately ordered the Tibetan army to retreat and defend.

Duke Wei seized the opportunity and led his troops out of the city to attack the Tibetan army from the rear. He also ordered 30,000 light cavalry to bypass the Tibetan army and block its front, which was bound to disperse the Tibetan army.

As long as we break them up, it will be time to harvest their heads.

The Marquis of Jing'an and the Duke of Wei both advanced deep into the heart of Tibet and the grasslands. Emperor Yongxing ordered that their food and fodder supplies must be guaranteed. He also sent more troops to Tibet. "They dared to plot against me. This time, the Tibetan king must pay the price."

The Duke of Wei defeated the Tibetan army and then marched towards the Tibetan royal family.

By mid-October, snow had fallen in many parts of Tubo, making it impossible to march. The Duke of Wei stopped moving after capturing a city.

When the Tubo King learned that Yongning's army had invaded Tubo, he became extremely anxious. Finally, after discussing with his ministers, he decisively surrendered to Yongning. He was willing to send a prince to Yongning as a hostage, a princess in marriage, compensation, and annual tribute to Yongning.

After consultation with his ministers, Emperor Yongxing agreed to the Tibetan king's request. The main reason was that Tibetan territory was too vast and sparsely populated. It would not be cost-effective to conquer it, and it would also require sending personnel to garrison and manage it.

Because of their different races, the people there will definitely cause trouble frequently, which may not be worth the loss.

It would be better to let Tubo pay compensation and tribute every year, so that they can get the benefits for free, and then beat them again if they don't obey.

The grassland side will definitely not agree to peace talks.

Emperor Yongxing also sent more troops to Marquis Jing'an, and this time he had to transform the grassland.

……

When the people in the capital heard that they had won a victory and that the Tubo and grassland people had been driven away, every household was overjoyed.

Duke Wei and Marquis Jing'an cannot go home for the New Year this year, but Zhang Hulan is preparing to go home for the New Year again.

Zhang Hulan invited Xie Bangwen and his family to Changning County to celebrate the New Year and discuss the marriage of Zhang Xiaojun and Xie Xiaoman.

Zhang Hulan also asked Duanmu Cong and the others if they wanted to go home with her to celebrate the New Year, and Duanmu Cong and the others happily agreed.

When Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang saw Xie Bangwen and his family coming, they happily greeted them, "Oh, please come in, in-laws..."

Wang immediately introduced Zhang Hujun and Li: "Boss, Boss's wife, come quickly, this is Xiaojun's father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Wang then took Xie Xiaoman's hand, her face wrinkled with smile, "Big brother's wife, this is Xiaojun's wife!"

Xie Xiaoman shyly greeted everyone, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma! Hello, Uncle and Aunt!"

Mrs. Li was very happy as this was the first time she met her future daughter-in-law.

She hurried home and took a bracelet and put it on Xie Xiaoman's wrist.

She had already prepared gifts for her daughter-in-law.

"Thank you, aunt!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaojun's family so warm, Xie Xiaoman felt very happy.

Zhang Hulan then introduced Zhang Hubing and Xiang Chunhua to Xie Bangwen's family.

The Zhang family was very happy about the arrival of Xie Bangwen and his family.

After seeing the other members of the Zhang family and the harmonious relationship between them, Xie Bangwen felt more at ease about his daughter marrying into the Zhang family.

Wang and the others were also very happy that Duanmu Cong and the others had returned.

Especially when Duanmu Cong and the others followed Zhang Xinyao and her sister in calling Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang grandpa and grandma, the two old people were even happier.

The family has enough money to support these children, and the more children the better.

The next day after Duanmu Cong came back, he went to the county government office to visit Song Yuzhang.

Song Yuzhang was also the key to Duanmu Cong's father's revenge.

It’s not that Song Yuzhang noticed that Duanmu Cong was different. Duanmu Cong didn’t know whether he would tell his life story, so Duanmu Cong was also very grateful to Song Yuzhang.

Needless to say, when Zhang Hulan returned home, all the women in the village ran to her.

Not all the lotus roots grown this year were made into vermicelli. As more people were making them, sales were not as good as before.

But they can sell starch, although the price is lower, but the injuries to people are less serious.

Now that they have money saved at home, the villagers are not working so hard and are taking it easy.

The good days have just begun, and they all want to take good care of their health and live longer to enjoy more happiness.

This year, they set off for the capital on the eighth day of the first lunar month. The Zhang and Xie families had agreed that the wedding of Zhang Xiaojun and Xie Xiaoman would be held in June.

At that time, all the Zhang family members would go to Beijing to hold the wedding there, and then return to Daping Village together to hold another wedding in the village.

……

This year, the Wang family has double happiness.

In April, the Tibetan hostage and the princess who was to be married to the Tibetans arrived in Yongning State, bringing with them the Tibetan compensation silver.

Emperor Yongxing had no other princes, and he did not want to marry a relative of the royal family to him, so he chose a candidate from among the sons of ministers in the court.

In the end, Emperor Yongxing chose Wang Xingyao.

Wang Xingyao is twenty years old this year, but he has never found a girl he likes.

Ye Hongling and Old Madam Yang introduced him to countless girls, but none of them was satisfactory to him.

He was the right age, and the Wang family was trustworthy. Emperor Yongxing immediately decided on Wang Xingyao.

When Wang Xingyao first heard that the emperor had arranged a marriage for him with a Tibetan princess, he was not happy about it. But when he saw the Tibetan princess, he readily agreed.

The Tibetan princess who married into the royal family was seventeen years old and very beautiful. Her unique exotic charm amazed many people.

Another happy event is that Zhang Dahua is pregnant. Zhang Dahua is 19 years old this year, and the Wang family has finally welcomed the fourth generation.

……

In June, Zhang Xiaojun and Xie Xiaoman got married.

Zhang Hujun and Li had another big event, and now all they had to do was raise their youngest son.

On the day of the wedding, Li gave the 10% share of the braised meat business that Zhang Hulan gave to Zhang Xiaojun to Xie Xiaoman.

"Xiaoman, this was given to me by Aunt Xiaojun a few years ago.

Every child in the family has one. This one is for Xiaojun. You keep it for the future. Sister Xiaojun will give you the money every month."

Xie Xiaoman didn't ask how much money she got each month. She declined, "Mother, you keep this."

Li said, "Keep it. This is a gift from your aunt. You must be filial to your aunt in the future."

"Don't worry, mother. I will be filial to my aunt in the future." Xie Xiaoman then hurriedly bowed to Zhang Hulan, "Thank you, aunt!"

After Xie Xiaoman returned home, Zhang Hujun and the others went back to Daping Village.

Zhang Xiaojun and Xie Xiaoman also went back. They were going back to the village to hold a wedding banquet.
