Chapter 663 Li Bai Suiye City
The old deacon continued to comfort him: The New Song Dynasty advocates equality for all and governs the world with a republic, which is a precedent in history and will surely benefit future generations for thousands of years.
He pointed to the majestic Chongde Hall and told the old emperor that the Great Song Imperial City in Hangzhou was the most profitable of all tourist attractions in the New Song Kingdom. In addition to being used for daily maintenance, a large amount of the ticket fees collected each year could be used to dredge and repair the ancient canal in Hangzhou.
Nowadays, the navigation conditions of the canal are gradually improving, and more and more large ships are entering Hangzhou directly to load and unload cargo, and the people are happy.
A smile appeared on the emperor's face. He didn't expect that the place where he rested and slept could bring benefits to the people. It could be considered a great thing.
After Zhao Ruilan knew that the emperor had come to Hangzhou, she took the eldest son of the Shi family to the inn to meet the emperor. She acted like a thirteen-year-old girl and acted like a spoiled child in front of the emperor, crying bitterly that their life in Qiantang was worse than that of a butcher selling meat in the market. She asked the emperor to take her back, and she wanted to confront Zhao Yulin face to face.
The eldest son of the Shi family said unhappily: What are you meeting? She calls Brother Yulin in her dreams and asks him to accompany her to sleep and give birth to a baby. She is really shameless.
Zhao Ruilan didn't expect that she would reveal her secret in her sleep, and was stunned. Then she yelled in anger: So what? We have been married for almost half a year, but my belly is still not moving. Is it my fault?
When the eldest son saw Zhao Ruilan exposing his shortcomings in person, he was so angry that his face turned red and he was about to hit her. However, he was stopped by his father, Shi Ziren, who kept telling him to shut up and go back to his room if he had anything to say.
Damn, Zhao Ruilan is smart enough.
It was obvious that she was the one who had been having fun with so many men in Mobei, and had overdrawn the vital part three inches below her navel, making her unable to have children. However, she turned the tables and pushed all the responsibility onto the eldest son of the Shi family.
It just so happened that the eldest son of the Shi family was also a playboy when he was young. He stayed out all day and all night in brothels, indulging his younger brother in expanding territories everywhere. He had long been crippled and became a penniless man. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make a woman pregnant.
That guy knew he was in the wrong, so how could he say it out loud? After Zhao Ruilan made a fuss, it confirmed that he was not good in that aspect.
No wonder Zhao Ruilan became a resentful woman because of her wild imagination.
The emperor, the empress, the imperial concubine and even Old Lady Xie all guessed 80% and were stunned. How could this carefully chosen marriage end up harming the princess?
Old Mrs. Xie felt sorry for her adorable granddaughter and wanted to win over Zhao Ruilan to work for her. She pretended to be protective of her granddaughter and took her to her room to rest.
Old Mrs. Xie comforted Zhao Ruilan gently and softly until she stopped crying. She kindly asked her granddaughter: Is it because your grandson-in-law is not good enough in that aspect and cannot have sexual intercourse?
I feel sorry for Lan'er.
The so-called humanity refers to the things between husband and wife.
Zhao Ruilan did not follow her grandmother's instructions and went straight to the focus of the conflict between her and the eldest son. Her face slightly flushed as she said: Not entirely, it's just that no matter how hard he tries to fuck Lan'er, there's no movement in her belly.
Oh, I see.
That's my granddaughter's problem.
Old Mrs. Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She touched Lan'er's hair lovingly and said: It is not easy for the eldest son of the Shi family to reform himself. Lan'er, don't be too demanding. Live a good life together. One day, they will have both a son and a daughter, and everything they need.
Zhao Ruilan leaned over the old woman and sobbed.
This girl is not a good person either. During the time in Mobei, she was toyed around with by princes and generals. Over time, she actually came to like this kind of life. She completely regarded herself as the Empress Wu Zetian, controlling each tool that brought her pleasure.
Of course, it is not without benefit. At least she has accumulated rich skills in bed, otherwise how could the eldest son of the Shi family fall in love with her as soon as they met?
Over there, in Shi's son's room, the eldest son was reviewing his mistakes.
Shi's son scolded this useless and evil son without any mercy, asking him if he knew how many women he had slept with and how many children he had fathered.
The eldest son naturally knew that the reason why he had slept with all the girls in Tianshui Lane in Lin'an but none of them gave birth to a baby was because he had sex too early and had seriously overdrawn his energy day and night, so he had long been dry and could no longer give birth to a baby.
Shi's son sighed, asked his personal guard to bring a small red sandalwood box to his eldest son, and said earnestly: This is a secret powerful kidney-tonifying pill, which fathers are reluctant to use, so you must save it. Miss Ruilan is a miserable person. The emperor has favored her and betrothed her to us. You must remember the emperor's kindness.
The eldest son took the kidney-tonifying pills and couldn't help sobbing.
In fact, this guy has changed a lot and is not so interested in high consumption. But Zhao Ruilan has been in the palace all day, hanging around the princes, and has always lived a life of luxury. She is not used to being the wife of a secretary in Qiantang.
Of course, Shi's son knew how much a small county magistrate in charge of writing could earn, so he asked his servants to fetch some silver and gave it to the eldest son, asking him to spend it. The eldest son was an old man, and his food, clothing and expenses were all taken care of by the court, so there was no point in keeping his salary .
The eldest son felt that he was in his thirties and still relying on his parents, which was no different from a loser, so he slapped himself in the face.
Shi's son was shocked and asked in confusion: What's wrong with my son?
What are you doing?
After hearing the eldest son's confession and explanation, he felt that his son had turned over a new leaf, and he was so happy that he shed two lines of tears. He couldn't bear to let his son see it, so he waved his hand and asked his personal guard to send him away.
Zhao Feiyan crossed the sea and returned to Hangzhou. Her father had lost interest in traveling because of Zhao Ruilan's disturbance, so he returned to Chengdu. Her mother Kuang Sisi said happily that she had met her old sisters and neighbors these days, and they all envied her for coming back with the king on a big dragon boat.
Envy: It means to feel comfortable looking at something and to be happy and want to get it. Zhao Feiyan said with a smile: Since the elders also want to ride on the official ship, we will take them out to sea to see the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou Bay.
He then summoned the director of the office, Wu Qian, to make arrangements.
Wu Qian hesitated, feeling that it was inappropriate.
Madam Danfeng is just a commoner woman now. In order to satisfy the wishes of her acquaintances and friends, she actually used the king's official ship. If the judges in Chengdu knew about this, they would definitely have something to say.
Kuang Sisi had a happy look on her face, but before Wu Qian finished speaking, her expression darkened.
Zhao Feiyan also felt that her words were not well thought out, but she was the king of the country with great authority, and now that the words had been spoken, what could she do?
She frowned and asked Wu Qian for advice.
Kuang Sisi immediately said: Forget it, forget it, she is overthinking it, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t take the dragon boat.
Wu Qian quickly said he had a plan to offer: Our king went directly to Ryukyu when he arrived in Hangzhou, and he didn't have time to take a closer look at Liangzhe. Why not ask the Hangzhou government to organize hundreds of workers to take the official ship to travel around Hangzhou Bay, firstly to show that our king is approachable and blesses the people of the world. Secondly, we can stay in Hangzhou for a few days and visit a few prefectures and counties.
How about asking Madam Danfeng to do this traveling for the hundreds of craftsmen?
Zhao Feiyan was delighted and kept exclaiming that it was a great idea and that it was a good idea of Mr. Wu. She approved it.
When the little woman is happy and relaxed, she will act like she is joking at home and wants to be the emperor and rule the world.
Seeing this, Wu Qian was also very cooperative. He smiled and bowed, and sang: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
Zhao Feiyan and Kuang Sisi also laughed when they saw Wu Qian's performance.
The next day, Madam Danfeng Kuang Sisi led hundreds of workers on board Zhao Feiyan's official ship and set sail. After touring Hangzhou Bay, they would go up to the mouth of the Yangtze River to visit the newly built Shanghai Town, and then go upstream to the mouth of the canal and return.
Zhao Feiyan led all the officials to patrol along the canal and meet up at the Yangtze River, from where they would board an official ship back to Chengdu.
Kuang Sisi was extremely happy when the two mothers met again.
The woman told her: The older generation in Hangzhou knew that they had to take a big dragon boat to go out to sea, and they were afraid of dirtying the king's treasure ship, so everyone prepared a pair of brand new cloth shoes to wear on the boat. When they saw the magical and gorgeous huge dragon boat, they didn't know how to walk.
Kuang Sisi excitedly recounted their experiences along the way, and she became intoxicated as she spoke.
Seeing her mother's happy face, Zhao Feiyan laughed and said that the king's ship was also an official ship. The New Song Dynasty had no emperor and no dragon boat.
Kuang Sisi insisted that ordinary people just like to order dragon boats, which is not illegal. There is only one king, and the king's boat must be a big dragon boat.
Zhao Feiyan did not argue with her mother. She supported herself to the bow of the boat to enjoy the breeze and the view, and murmured: It is not easy to be the head of a country. The action to strike at the remnants of Zhao Bing in the south and to recover the Song Dynasty has already begun, but we don't know how it will turn out?
The army in the north that is trying to recover Mobei has probably been dispatched.
Her mother said with confidence: It doesn't matter, with Brother Yulin, we will surely receive good news frequently.
In Chengdu, after Chen Chen took over Lizhou Road, she found that Lizhou's financial income was too low. The root cause was the inconvenient transportation. She wanted to build a road and open up land transportation from Chengdu to Lizhou, so that there would be both water and land transportation between Chengdu and Lizhou to form a complementary and fast transportation system.
Zhao Yulin was keen on helping the people get rich. He dealt with the urgent affairs of the Central Court, and together with Jiang Ligang and Dongmei, he quickly deployed security protection in Chengdu. He then accompanied Chen Chen to Jiangyou to supervise the road construction.
Jiangyou: It is said to be the hometown of Li Bai. There is Mozhen Creek and Ximo Pool here. It is said that Li Bai was born here. Why is Li Bai called "Li Bai"? It is said that it is because Li Bai was born in the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom, which is taken from the poem "Plum blossoms are in full bloom and the tree is white".
However, he believed more that Li Bai was born in Suiye City.
With the obsession of reviving the prosperity of Han and Tang Dynasties, Zhao Yulin hopes that the Shenwei Army will recapture Suiye City as soon as possible and repair Li Bai's former residence there, so that people all over the world will know that our poet Li Bai was born there, in the motherland's Suiye City.
He and Chen Chen planned the construction of the national highway and later came to the water wharf at the east gate of Jiangyou. Chen Chen was very satisfied with the clean and tidy environment and the constant stream of tourists getting on and off the wharf. He told him that this was Jiangyou's business and this was the tax.
The magistrate who accompanied him all the way talked eloquently and reported in detail that Jiangyou had put its brainstorming around the former residence, travels and poems of the poet Li Bai, and had created a food and entertainment business with complete food, accommodation and tourism facilities in Jiangyou, which had greatly improved the appearance of the city.
