Chapter 572: Village Chief, Township Chief
Xu Zizhen was happy, it was his brother-in-law who was building momentum for himself for a long time, no wonder.
Ha, Li Renxiao is really a character, so his status will be immediately improved, not to mention, if the trade between the two countries can really go smoothly in the future, he can quickly stabilize the regime with this matter after he ascends the throne, and he is really far-sighted and bold enough!
Thinking of this, Xu Zizhen stood up: "Old Yu, take me to the palace, I want to find the second prince to drink!" ”
Speaking of which, Xu Zizhen hasn't had a good chat with Li Renxiao since he left Western Xia last time, and this time he got a message that Li Renxiao has basically confirmed that he will be the next Western Xia emperor, so this relationship must be fought first no matter what.
Li Qianshun is pretending to be sick, and the current government is controlled by Li Renxiao, so he does not live in his prince's mansion, but lives in the palace, and the weather is not cold yet, and the two of them are drinking wine in the garden.
"Zizhen, when will you return to Song?"
"Let's leave if you become a relative to Luo'er."
Li Renxiao frowned: "Why be in such a hurry, I heard that there are many people in the Song court who have bad intentions towards you, you ......"
"It's fine." Xu Zizhen shook his head, "I won't go to Bianjing, and besides, if there is a prince covering, they don't dare to really come to the door." ”
Li Renxiao smiled, pondered for a moment and asked, "Zizhen, you always say how the north will be in the future, ...... Where did this news come from? ”
Xu Zizhen said: "It doesn't matter where you come from, anyway, I didn't lie to you, when the time comes, not only Daxia, but even the Great Song Dynasty will have to be destroyed, and as for that bullshit Jin Guo, I don't know where to go." ”
"So you asked me to join forces with Song Ting?"
"Correct, it's not Song Ting or Zhao Gou, and it's not called joining forces, when the time comes, everyone will develop in their own way, don't mess with anyone, just make a fortune in a muffled voice."
Seeing that Li Renxiao still had the intention of speaking, Xu Zizhen picked up the wine glass and said: "I am from the Song Dynasty, but I want to marry a Daxia princess as my wife, so I really don't want to see the two countries fight. ”
Li Renxiao was a little stunned: "Thousands of years? ”
Xu Zizhen hurriedly interrupted: "Oh, I mean that it was invaded by the Turkic Hu people before, and it will be like this in the future...... Come, drink and drink. ”
……
This meal was drunk until the middle of the month, Li Renxiao's alcohol consumption was not as good as Xu Zizhen, hanging, Xu Zizhen was not much better, was supported by Yu Qi and returned to the Sifang Pavilion, and fell asleep without washing.
When I woke up the next day, I was woken up by the post officer, because someone had come to visit again.
Xu Zizhen's wine woke up as soon as he could, what sleep did someone sleep when someone gave a gift?
The people who came today are a little different from yesterday, they are all subordinate figures of the three princes and six departments, such as what squire and what is in charge, but they can't be underestimated, although the gift list is not as scary as yesterday, but it is also dazzling and valuable.
It wasn't until the evening that he gradually rested, and Xu Zizhen dragged his tired and excited body back to the house, looking at the newly added gifts, with a smile on his face.
Gillian played with a string of agate beads and said disdainfully: "Look at your appearance, these little favors make you so happy that you can't find the north." ”
Xu Zizhen retorted: "You know a feather duster, these are all money, Lao Tzu has so many wives to support, is there no money?" After a few days, so many people want Lao Tzu's life when they go back to the Great Song Dynasty, can they have no money to fight? ”
"Won't people kill you if you give money?"
"There is nothing difficult in the world, I am only afraid of rich people, Lao Tzu will naturally not be stupid enough to spend money to buy Wang Huang's kind of goods, and if you want to buy it, you can buy people who can deal with them, don't say it, you stupid girl."
"You call me a stupid girl again, I fought me with you!"
……
I had a good night's dream, and at dawn I heard the post official calling outside the door: "Xu Gongzi." ”
Xu Zizhen suddenly woke up, got up and rushed out of the house: "Is anyone coming to give gifts again?" ”
The corners of the post officer's mouth twitched: "Uh...... No, it's Gonggong Li who is here. ”
Xu Zizhen was disappointed: "What is this old man doing?" He doesn't give gifts. ”
Gonggong Li walked in from outside, with a little embarrassment on his face: "Ahem...... Horse, our family is here to take you to Yaode City to prepare. ”
Damn, I really don't talk about people day and night......
Xu Zizhen's face was also a little unbearable, and he coughed dryly and was just about to find some topic, but suddenly came back to his senses: "Ready?" What to prepare? ”
Gonggong Li said: "The concubine is going to marry the princess in a few days, are you not going to prepare where the princess will live?" ”
Xu Zizhen slapped his forehead, he has been so amused by receiving gifts recently, he forgot to prepare a new house, and it is true that the princess can't continue to live in the palace after getting married, of course she has to go back to Yaode City with herself.
Taking advantage of this topic, Xu Zizhen transferred the embarrassment just now, entered the room and washed up briefly and came back, Hu Sanniang and others heard that he was going back to his territory, and they all came over to see the excitement, and the group went to Yaode City under the leadership of Li Meng.
Speaking of which, Xu Zizhen has not been to his own fiefdom, and Li Meng has to lead the way, out of Xingqing Mansion all the way to the southeast, from Xingqing to Yaode about 200 miles of road, everyone is in Xingtou, galloping all the way, and this official road is obviously just repaired, both spacious and smooth, easy to walk.
In the early afternoon, a city appeared in front of him, and a continuous city wall could be seen in the distance, the city wall was not too high, and the scope was not very wide, and from Xu Zizhen's point of view, 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 this Yaode City was the most fertile place in the whole Western Xia, and it should mean that the area was very large, and it was the size of a demolition community at that time.
However, this is also the place where the emperor sealed, and in front of Gonggong Li, he was embarrassed to say that he was not satisfied, so he could only nod vaguely.
Li Meng had been with him for a long time, and he could see what he was thinking at a glance, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, the one you see is the center of the trade of goods, or was it built in the later period, in fact, Yaode City originally had no city walls, and it was ...... Hehe, in fact, the place where we are standing now is already Yaode City, huh, do you see the grassland in the north? That's your territory, too. ”
Xu Zizhen looked north, only to see that there was a vast grassland at the other end of the city, the river was gurgling and the sky was blue, and 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 was all within the scope of Yaode City? Is it all my territory? ”
"yes."
"Great!" Xu Zizhen was happy, "Lao Tzu was still a village head, but I didn't expect it to be a village head!" ”
