Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Xu Zizhen was overjoyed, it was his brother-in-law who was making noise for him, no wonder.

Ha, Li Renxiao is indeed a character, not to mention that his status will be improved immediately. In the future, if the trade between the two countries can be carried out smoothly, he will be able to quickly stabilize the regime after he ascends the throne. Sure enough, he has enough vision and courage powerful!

Thinking of this, Xu Zizhen stood up: "Old Yu, take me to the palace, I want to drink with the second prince!"

Speaking of which, Xu Zizhen hasn't had a good chat with Li Renxiao since he left Xixia last time, but this time he got a message that Li Renxiao is basically determined to be the next Xixia emperor, so this relationship must be settled first no matter what. .

Li Qianshun was pretending to be sick, and now Li Renxiao was in control of the government, so he didn't live in his prince's mansion, but in the palace. Before the weather was cold, the two of them drank wine together in the garden.

"Zizhen, when will you return to Song Dynasty?"

"Let's go when we're married to Luo'er."

Li Renxiao frowned: "Why are you in such a hurry, I heard that there are many people in Song Ting who harbor ill intentions towards you, you..."

"It's okay." Xu Zizhen shook his head, "I won't go to Bianjing, and besides, the crown prince is covering them, so they dare not really call."

Li Renxiao smiled, pondered for a moment and asked again: "Zizhen, you always talk about what will happen to the north in the future, where do you... come from?"

Xu Zizhen said: "Don't worry about where it came from, anyway, I didn't lie to you, not only the Great Xia, but also the Great Song will be wiped out. As for that shit Jin Kingdom, I don't know where to go."

"So you asked me to join forces with Song Ting?"

"Correct me, it's not Song Ting or Zhao Gou, and it's not called a joint venture. At that time, each will go to his own development, and don't mess with anyone. Just keep silent and make a fortune."

Seeing that Li Renxiao still wanted to speak, Xu Zizhen raised his wine glass and said: "I am from Song Dynasty, but I want to marry a princess of Daxia as my wife, so I really don't want to see the two countries go to war. From now on, you will think that the country is too small You can open up other places. Don’t say I didn’t remind you. Although the Han people look cowardly, they are actually as bloody as anyone else. If they are in a hurry, they will not be able to please anyone. The history of thousands of years is obvious. There."

Li Renxiao was a little dazed: "Thousands of years?"

Xu Zizhen hurriedly interrupted: "Oh, I mean it was like this before being invaded by Turkic Hu people, and it will be like this in the future... Come, drink and drink."

……

Li Renxiao didn't drink until the middle of the month, and Li Renxiao didn't drink as well as Xu Zizhen, so he died, and Xu Zizhen didn't feel any better. Yu Qi helped him back to Sifang Pavilion, fell asleep without washing.

When I woke up the next day, I was woken up by the post officer again, because someone came to visit again.

Xu Zizhen sobered up after drinking, why sleep when someone gave him a gift?

The people who came today are a bit different from yesterday, they are all subordinates of the Sangong and Six Ministries, such as the servants and the commanders, but they should not be underestimated, although the gift list presented is not as scary as yesterday, but it is also dazzling. Fei.

It wasn't until the evening that he gradually rested. Xu Zizhen returned to the house with a tired and excited body, looked at the newly added gifts, and smiled all over his face.

A Jiao played with a string of agate beads and said contemptuously: "Look at your future, these little favors make you so happy that you can't find your way."

Xu Zizhen retorted: "You know a feather duster. These are all money. I have so many wives to support. Is it okay if I don't have money? When I go back to Song Dynasty, so many people will kill me. Is it okay if I don't have money?"

"Could it be that if you give money, they won't kill you?"

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are rich people, I will naturally not be so stupid as to spend money to buy people like Wang Fu, and I will buy people who can deal with them, let alone, you silly girl."

"You called me a silly girl again, and I fought with you!"

……

After a good night's dream, I heard the post officer calling outside the door at dawn: "Mr. Xu."

Xu Zizhen woke up suddenly, got up and rushed out of the house: "Is anyone here to give gifts?"

The corner of the post officer's mouth twitched: "Uh... no, it's Eunuch Li who is here."

Xu Zizhen was very disappointed: "Why is this old stingy guy here? He doesn't give gifts."

Eunuch Li came in from the outside, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Ahem... son-in-law, our family is here to take you to Yaode City for preparations."

Damn, I really don't talk about people every day and don't talk about ghosts at night...

Xu Zizhen's face was also a little restless. He coughed dryly and was about to find something to talk about, when he suddenly came back to his senses: "Prepare? Prepare for what?"

Eunuch Li wondered: "The son-in-law is going to marry the princess soon, where are you going to let the princess live?"

Xu Zizhen slapped his forehead. He was so distracted by receiving presents recently that he forgot to prepare a new house. It's true. After the princess gets married, she can't continue to live in the palace. Of course, she has to go back to Yaode City with herself.

Taking advantage of this topic, Xu Zizhen diverted the embarrassment just now, entered the room after a brief wash, and came back out. Hu Sanniang and others heard that he was going back to their territory, so they all gathered together to watch the excitement. Under the leadership of Li Meng, they went to Yaode City.

Speaking of which, Xu Zizhen hadn't been to his own fief yet, and Li Meng had to lead the way. He left Xingqing Mansion and headed all the way to the southeast. It was about two hundred miles from Xingqing to Yaode. Everyone was excited and galloped all the way. Moreover, this official road has obviously just been repaired, it is spacious and smooth, and it is easy to walk.

At the end of the afternoon, a city appeared in front of it, and a continuous city wall could be seen from a distance. The city wall was not too high, and the range was not very wide. From Xu Zizhen's perspective, he could almost see the whole city. .

Li Meng stepped forward and asked: "Uncle, this is Yaode City, how is it, are you satisfied?"

Xu Zizhen was actually a little disappointed. He thought that Yaode City was the place with the most fertile aquatic plants in Xixia, which meant that it had a large area. After looking at it for a long time, it was only as big as a demolition community at that time.

However, this was also a place granted by the emperor, so he was embarrassed to say that he was dissatisfied in front of Eunuch Li, so he could only nod vaguely.

Li Meng spent a long time with him, so he could see what he was thinking at a glance, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, the one you saw was the center of the goods import and export trade, and it was built later. In fact, Yaode City originally had no walls. Yes, and... hehe, in fact, the place where we are standing now is already Yodok City, look, do you see the grassland to the north? That is also your territory."

Xu Zizhen looked north, and saw that there was an extremely vast grassland beyond the city, the river was gurgling and the sky was blue, it was a good place that combined the roughness of the north and the gentleness of the south of the Yangtze River.

"You said it's all within Yodok City? It's all my territory?"

"Yes."

"Great!" Xu Zizhen was overjoyed, "I still think I'm a village head, but I didn't expect to be a town head!"
