Chapter 376: The Clouds Clear and the Moon Shines
By solving the hidden danger of foreign detainees, many problems will be solved.
For example, public security issues, such as urban sanitation issues.
And with the popularization of Qi Refining Technique, more and more people are practicing Qi Refining , the average physical fitness of the people is getting higher and higher, and the national self-esteem is also getting stronger and stronger.
In the past, the people already looked down on foreigners, and now this phenomenon has gone a step further.
They can't even see the foreign barbarians anymore.
Because the eyes are engraved on the forehead.
In the past, young ladies would occasionally receive one or two wealthy Semites and sell their skills for the sake of money.
But now...if people knew that the young lady had received a Semu person, not only would she not have any patrons, but even the brothels would not accept her and would directly drive her away.
Even in places of red-light districts this is the case, let alone young ladies from respectable families.
They couldn't stand seeing Semites in front of them, and whenever they spotted them, they would retreat as far as possible.
If a Semu person looked at me for even a second, I would feel so disgusted that I would want to explode.
Hero Ouyang Chun also suffered a lot because of this.
Because his ancestors were of Semu blood, although he looked like a Han Chinese in appearance and temperament, he was targeted by many beggars because of his blue eyes.
Fortunately, his children were all of Han descent with black hair and black eyes, so there were no problems.
He is very powerful and is not afraid of a few beggars.
Lu Sen had actually anticipated that the people would begin to be extremely hostile to foreigners.
This is inevitable.
This is actually a good thing.
The more intolerant the people are towards foreigners now, the less likely it is that the barbarians from the far west will lurk in the territory of the Song Dynasty.
It was the New Year again, and Lu Sen took Pang Meir and Zhao Bilian back to Bian Jing to visit his relatives.
Now Lu Sen’s influence has reached an exaggerated level.
Apart from his wife at home and a few teachers and apprentices, there are only a few people in the world who can look at him with ordinary people's eyes.
The Prince of Runan was one of them.
"Taishan, is there still trouble in Goryeo recently?" The father-in-law and son-in-law were chatting in the study when Lu Sen suddenly brought up this question.
The Prince of Runan County laughed and said, "It's the same as before. The king is clamoring to move the whole country into the territory of our Song Dynasty. If that's not possible, at least let their royal family come in for two or three months every year. For this, they are willing to pay a lot of silver and rare treasures in exchange for this opportunity."
Lu Sen asked with a smile: "Is there anyone in the court speaking for the Goryeo Kingdom?"
The Prince of Runan County snorted, "The spiritual energy in this world is limited, and it was taken from your mouth. It's not enough for our own people to use, so who dares to share it with others?"
That's true.
Nowadays, no matter whether they are high-ranking officials or peddlers, they are all practicing the Qi Refining Technique.
If you don't want to learn, there are plenty of people who want to learn.
It only takes a few months for others to become stronger and more powerful than you, and eliminate you in no time.
Moreover, many elderly people have become more elastic and their hair has become darker after practicing. Although they have not become younger, their skin has become more elastic and their hair has become darker.
Even some elderly people’s teeth grew back.
With so many benefits, there is no one who would not practice this immortal technique.
Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "It's actually a good thing that Goryeo wants to be incorporated into our Song Dynasty. But if we agree as soon as they ask, it would seem that we are too generous and our spiritual energy is too worthless."
The Prince of Runan said, "So, my dear son-in-law asked those Koreans to do something for him?"
"I heard that the Koreans' archery skills are no less than those of the Turks, and their determination to fight is extremely rare. Even Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty failed to conquer Korea. This shows that they have some skills."
The Prince of Runan County was thoughtful: "My dear son-in-law, do you want to make the Koreans slaves and fight for the Song Dynasty?"
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, "Si Tu" referred to slave soldiers, and later it was extended to mean mercenaries.
Lu Sen nodded: "Not fighting for the Song Dynasty, but fighting for me."
"My dear son-in-law is now a royal relative and even the king's uncle. Fighting for you means fighting for our Song Dynasty." The Prince of Runan explained with a smile.
"Taishan, can we invite the envoys from Goryeo to come over in the next few days?" Lu Sen thought for a moment and said, "I have something I want to discuss with them."
" Of course." The Prince of Runan said with a smile, "It seems that the clouds of Goryeo have finally cleared and the moon is shining."
It is true that after waiting for a long time, the clouds will clear and the moon will appear.
Ever since they knew that Master Lu was spreading spiritual energy in the Song Dynasty, every envoy from the Kingdom of Goryeo could not stay here for more than half a year before being sent back to their country.
But even so, apart from practicing martial arts, they would take half a day every day to meet with officials from the Song Dynasty.
No matter whether it is useful or not, just pray for it every day.
Ask from different people and ask in different ways.
They believed that one day, Master Lu, or the Emperor of Heaven, would be moved by their sincerity.
Park Shuping, this is his second time to come to the Song Dynasty.
His previous words "the first breath is very sweet" became a joke in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't care at all.
Because he believed he was telling the truth.
No matter who comes to the Song Dynasty, they must say "the first breath is very sweet", otherwise it means they have no talent for cultivation.
Today, he went to ask for help from Su Shi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but the other party refused to see him. After kneeling for an hour, he came back.
Before entering the house, I saw an old man standing outside.
Pu Shuping bowed and asked, "What's the matter, old man, guarding the door of my house?"
The old man had an arrogant look in his eyes, but his attitude wasn't bad on the surface.
He clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, are you the Goryeo Envoy Park?"
"It's the villain."
"I am the housekeeper of the Prince of Runan's Mansion." The old man said in a light tone: "Please bathe and burn incense before going to the Prince of Runan's Mansion to meet the real person."
After saying that, the old man turned and left.
Ignore whether the other party agrees or not.
Because in his opinion, no one could refuse the summons from his own brother-in-law.
No!
It was indeed so. Park Shuping was stunned at first, then tears filled his eyes. He knelt down in the direction the old man left and kowtowed heavily.
Now everyone in the world knows that Lu Sen is the son-in-law of the Prince of Runan.
Now everyone knows that the real person in Runan County Prince’s Mansion must be Lu Sen.
He hurried back home, asked the servants to boil warm water, used half a piece of soapberry to scrub , and asked two servants to help massage his back.
He didn't come out until he rubbed himself until he was red and made sure there was no trace of oil on his body.
Then the servants brought the Goryeo official uniform that had been dried with incense for half an hour, and Park Shuping put it on solemnly.
Then let the maid help her to do her makeup.
Although it is said that men only need to be clean and neat and do not need to wear makeup.
But keeping things clean and tidy is a hassle in itself.
Pu Shuping knew that this was his only chance to meet Master Lu. If he made Master Lu unhappy because of such a small matter, he would never be able to apologize even if he died.
After doing everything to perfection, Park Shuping went out and headed for the Prince of Runan's Mansion.
